"I'm not your failure Obi-Wan"

"You did not kill Anakin Skywalker, I did"

Those lines were everything, they changed everything for Obi-Wan, that was exactly what he needed to hear and funny enough Vader was the one to tell him

Surface Pressure

It’s pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that’ll never stop,

Pressure that’ll tip, tip, tip till you just go pop,

Give it to your sister, your sister’s older

Give her all the heavy things we can’t shoulder

Who am I if I can’t run with the ball? If I fall to

Pressure like a grip, grip, grip, and it won’t let go,

Pressure like a tick, tick, tick till it’s ready to blow, 

Give it to your sister, your sister’s stronger

See if she can hang on a little longer

Who am I if I can’t carry it all? If I falter

Give it to your sister, it doesn’t hurt and

See if she can handle every family burden

Watch as she buckles and bends, but never breaks

No mistakes

Under the surface I’m pretty surе I’m worthless if I can’t be of service

So Surface Pressure is both a bop and full of trauma and I love it. I know Luisa is the middle sister, but the song gives some major eldest daughter vibes

SQUID GAME (2021) dir. Hwang Dong-hyuk

I swear I’ve watched Squid Game for the plot

the plot:

[portraitofalarryonfire]

Ok but I love Squid Game’s critique of the concept of formal equality. The Game Master keeps emphasising that they want the rules to be fair and everyone is treated equally in the game. And yet clearly that isn’t true. Some players have PTSD, some players aren’t as physically strong, some players are disabled, some players are elderly, some players aren’t welcomed into teams because of their gender. 

Kind of like how the ruling classes in the real world constantly assert that we all start at the same position, everyone is equal, and then consistently ignore that that simply isn’t the case.

“Cartoon backgrounds are simple and never have that much detail”

Come again?

[expobeau-deactivated20211020]

Korra and Asami only held hands because Nickelodeon wouldn’t let them do more.  Nick infamously cancelled Korra and put out the rest of season 4 as a webseries only.

Marceline and Princess Bubblegum only kiss in the very final episode because Cartoon Network wouldn’t let them do more.  There are a ton of interviews with Pendelton and with the voice actresses where they talk about the CN censorship.

Steven Universe got as far as it did because Rebecca Sugar fought tooth and nail, and risked the show getting cancelled (which it did in many countries, if not heavily censored), because Cartoon Network wouldn’t let her.  Ruby was often dubbed over with a male voice, and Pearl/Rose interactions were completely cut.

She-Ra managed to do it largely because it was specifically on Netflix only, and even then, Noelle has said they had to build 4 seasons of storyline very subtly around it so they had enough ammo to convince the execs that Catradora was the only logical conclusion to this show they had already aired.  She didn’t just go in on Day 1 and make it gay; she had to plan many years in advance for how to set up her argument.  Her argument, y’all.

And now we have The Owl House.  Which is an absolutely wonderful show.  And it’s so amazing that we actually get to see queer characters get the kind of representation that so many straight characters get.  And it’s amazing we get to see the romance build up, instead of just a quick peck in the series finale!

Let’s not forget that in the US, it was illegal for gay people to get married until 2015.  Korra aired in 2012.  In Texas, it was a punishable felony to even be gay until 2003.  No, literally.  Just being gay was an arrestable offense here in Texas until 2003.  We have come a really long way in 20 years!

But don’t fucking dare disrespect any of these other shows by saying they didn’t try, or that their representation didn’t matter.  The Owl House is standing on the shoulders of giants.  Lumity is only where it is because Korrasami and Bubbline helped get them there.
