This was supposed to just be a quick sketch. XD
I’ve fallen for the Bowuigi ship, it’s so cute! Nervous unnoticed guy and his bombastic dragon monster boyfriend? Yes please!
ID: King Bowser Koopa gives Luigi a big lick on the cheek with his forked tongue while holding his human boyfriend in one big clawed hand. Luigi has a squished little smile. The vaguely stone and fire background suggests they’re in one of Bowser’s castles.
HOLY SHIT, IT WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE
MAKE A WISH
the first post ever on tumblr
I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE A REMAKE OF SOME SORT HOLY FUCK
WHO THE FUCK KEEPS BRINGING THIS BACK
reblog this because it shows up every blue moon
I FOUND IT ✊
I WAS SO SCARED IT WOULDNT BE THE ORIGINAL
Who first posted this?
I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO END WITH A MEME OR SOME SHIT NO IT’S THE REAL ONE OH MY GOD
Wishing I’ll do well on my finals ✨
Ima be honest I took 3 handfuls of 4 pills of off brand Tylenol and idk if I'm gonna die or what we'll see. I have a head ache and I'm sleepy so....😕
Regarding Concrete
Why are we mad? Chill out over a rough black and white sketch of a character that was never actually implemented. I know all about minstrels and early antebellum era blackface. When I saw her, that is not what I thought at all. Calm down fam, go be mad about something else please. The President is still a rapist you know. Flint? Clean water? Go make yourselves busy.
Y'all gettin so mad and reaching so hard. Look there’s a reason that these “offensive” characters were never put in the show; you’re all getting mad over low resolution, monochrome pictures that were just throwaway ideas in the first place.
I Need to Speak Up About Concrete
Oh boy… where do I start?
As a white guy, maybe I shouldn’t really be talking about this. But Swaggy Thunder and Slice of Otaku’s video on it made me a bit mad. I want to tackle some points that they made.
— They seemed pretty mad at the fact that Bismuth, a POC character, is portrayed as a villain. Boi… all of the villains in the show are LGBT+ and I don’t see anyone complaining. Yes, we are minorities, and we can not be all painted as little angels. There *are* mean POC just like there are lots of wonderful POC. Same thing with LGBT’s. We are being realistic here. Nobody wrote Bismuth as a villain (and she’s not even a villain, she’s just misguided!) *because* she’s a POC.
— They say the fact Bismuth and Concrete not being gems is inferiorizing and might be associated with them being POC. Also that Garnet, another POC character, isn’t even naturally formed - she’s a fusion.
Boy, where do I even start? Gemstones aren’t limited to minerals and rocks. As someone who’s been gathering a gem collection over the years, I can confirm that Bismuth is, indeed, a gemstone, at least the hopper Bismuth crystals. Just like Pearls — Pearl is a gem and Pearls aren’t rocks, they are organic matter! But concrete… isn’t that a stretch? Oh yes, yes it is… but guess what!
NONE OF THE GEMS IN THE SAME PAGES AS HER EVEN ARE REAL THINGS!! And Garnet… this hurts. Garnet is built to be such a special character, that represents love, intelligence, strength, leadership! She teaches us that the morals of Homeworld are old and wrong and that Earth’s love is the right path, and you shit all over it by saying that she’s a bad representation of POC for not being made in a “natural Homeworld way”? Ugh.
— Her skin tone is allusive to blackface.
Uhm… they said it themselves! Concrete is grey. Like Bismuth is grey adorned with multiple rainbow colours. I just don’t even know what to respond to this. It is that simple. Her skin is grey because concrete is grey, just like Garnet’s red because Garnets are red and Peridot’s green because Peridots are green.
Following the show’s canon, why should her be any other colour? (Rose is almost an exception — her peachy skin is almost like a caucasian human’s. This is a stylistic choice to make her a bit closer to a human being due to her humanity and love for Earth!)
— “And she has big lips, too!”
Most of the characters, of all colours, have big lips! It’s a rather big part of the style of the show to draw women’s lips this way, I’d say.
Another thing:
I couldn’t find the artist, so all credit to them (I will edit this if I do see who they are). But just look at this fan-rendering of how Concrete would look if she was integrated in the show’s actual style and not just a concept drawing. Here, she’s imagined as an uncorrupted version of the Big Bird, and that’s why she isn’t “Concrete” anymore (instead being an actual gem) and has brown skin rather than grey. Does this look racist to you? To me, she looks like a sweet fun Gem just like Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, Lapis, Peridot, Jasper, etc, etc, etc.
About the part of the stereotypes — I didn’t interpret the “Can’t read :(” part as anything other than “Can not read human writing, so she struggles a bit on Earth” type of note/reminder/little trivial character trait that Rebecca adds on all her character sketches. The show collection thing was a bit weird, I’ll admit, but who said it was Rebecca who decided on it? It was part of a collective game, so she could’ve just have written it down from a POC colleague (like Ian).
—
With all that, I hope to have made my point of view clear and if this, by a miracle, reaches Swaggy and Slice, please, consider my thoughts. You two and Vox are the only thing that can soot my appetite for Steven Universe content in these long hiatuses.
Much love,
Alexander Sedge. 💕
Y'all are reaching. This fandom is toxic
“Badass Versions of Beloved Characters”

Love These!
A few cartoons that featured POC leads. Feel free to add any others that you know of!
everybody needs a Michael Jackson attitude
they need a show together
I think from point of view people don’t want to date black women is because we can don’t run around trying to figure out mind games, when it comes to relationships our mottos are you ethier in it or not, if your interested, well go for it, if your playing games, well tell you to leave because we don’t have time for games, we got other things that are more important than to chase some lover who can’t make up his mind. I also think that its the fact we have the ability to see through people Bulls hit, and people HATE that shit, people hate to know that someone is able to see their full of shit.
Honestly, my sisters, screw the people that don’t want a relationship us, you got alot more precious things in life for you then some dumass who don’t want you because he wants to play minds games, and knows that you can see through false halo they set up. You deserve someone that wants you values, loves you, cherishes you, respects you, and loves you every step of the way.

every time i watch clueless i’m shocked that cher horowitz wasn’t intentionally written as a closeted lesbian struggling with compulsory heterosexuality because that’s literally the only interpretation of that movie that makes any sense to me whatsoever
listen…. cher expresses explicit distaste for boys her age on more than one occasion. she compares them to dogs and wonders why her best friend dee even bothers with them.
she claims to be “highly selective” ….name one closeted lesbian who hasn’t used high standards as an excuse for why they don’t seek a boyfriend, i’ll wait.
not to mention that she’s “saving herself for luke perry” ….me when i would focus my attention on unattainable men because i didn’t like any boys in real life.
let’s not forget that cher is disgusted by her friend elton’s advances and the only boy she actively pursues before realizing she was “in love” with josh was her gay friend christian. subconsciously pursuing unattainable men much?
initially, cher’s ego is hurt by christian’s rejection, but she gets over it quickly because she only pursued christian for superficial reasons and not because of any actual feelings of attraction.
so why did cher end up with josh, you might ask? my theory: cher developed feelings for her (*cough* bisexual) friend tai over the course of the film, but failed to recognize them. when tai shows interest in dating josh, cher becomes jealous, and mistakenly assumes it’s because she’s in love with josh, but she’s actually in love with tai!
honestly, just watch this movie again and compare the way cher talks about tai to the way she talks about josh. cher showed literally NO romantic interest in josh before she realized she was “in love” with him, and only started acting like she had feelings for him after she came to that conclusion.
the first time i watched clueless, i remember little 12-year-old me literally saying “WHAT!?” out loud to my tv screen when cher said she was in love with her fucking stepbrother, of all people. i didn’t know i was a lesbian back then, but i knew a forced hetero romance that made no sense when i saw one!
so ladies, never forget what the endgame for this movie should have been.
@kelseyjannings
Am I a closeted lesbian? I have very high standard in boys...
