Mutuals lets do this.

[lunarecat]

I’ve been kinda bitter about the whole pride on D*sn*y+ thing and how its not only barren but taking credit for representation that D*sney themselves repressed in the first place, so here’s how I would’ve handled it if i were the CEO of D*sn*y:

A foreword for the front page of the Pride watch list:

This June, we want to celebrate the lives and love of LGBTQ+ with you and use our platform to share your inspirational stories, as well as inspire you to love and be yourself. However, we also recognize that we have a lot of work to do regarding our content and its inclusivity. We have already stated that we wish to reflect the world as it is while moving forward with our content, and we want to make sure this includes the beautiful lives of the LGBTQ+ community in the future. For the time being, we would like to cement this promise to you by making this pride themed watchlist. Each piece of content was selected based on the opinions and enthusiasm of our wonderful and precious LGBTQ+ staff members. For the rest of June, each piece of media in this watch list will be preceded by either a foreword, an interview, or a montage of voices which illuminate it’s value to the community, the work that members of the community have put into it, or, in situations wherein your voices were lost, a spotlight on what the media should have said about the community. We also take immense delight in seeing our media claimed by the community whether representation was intended or not, because representation matters and we encourage you to celebrate your pride wherever you find yourself.

(In a literal sense, if i were the CEO i would own up more directly to the company’s “mistakes”, but i was supposing they’d wanna sprinkle a bunch of PR pixie dust all over it so i used less guilty language than i would have liked to lol)

The watchlist according to me (does not include content I haven’t seen/am not familiar with, I’m sorry if your favorite is missing it’s just cuz I haven’t seen it;;):

-Frozen. Yes, I want this on the front page cuz it would be damn powerful to list their #1 animated movie of all time FIRST. Preceded by a montage of various LGBTQ+ fans celebrating the film in their own proud way. You fuckos are gonna fucking acknowledge just how much else and let it go spoke to the community after almost 10 years whether u like it or not.

-Luca. Preceded by a montage of Proud folk who were inspired by the film and the filmmaker’s TRUE vision for it goddamn it.

-Star Wars. Same reason as Frozen but it’s preceded by an interview with John Boyega and Oscar Isaac about the downplayed romantic relationship between Finn and Poe.

-High School Musical (the actual original movies 1-3) preceded by interviews with Corbin Bleu and Lucas Grabeel regarding Chad and Ryan’s relationship and how it truly existed in their minds.

-Every Disney Princess film that was influenced by Howard Ashman preceded by interviews from every living person who worked with him on these films to highlight who he was and what stories he wanted to tell with these works. Yes, these stories spoke to LGBTQ+ in a sincere way long before whichever executive it was that decided to make Lefou gay for Gaston.

-Turning Red. Every wlw who relates to this movie deserves to speak on it, and while we’re here, please do another behind the scenes video about it that doesn’t pretend the panda was just a puberty metaphor to simplify it for white audiences, please i beg of you.

-The Owl House.

-Amphibia!

-Gravity Falls with a blunt preceding interview with Alex Hirsch about every single instance in which he attempted to include LGBTQ+ representation only to be told no, by none other than D*SN*Y themselves lol.

-Star vs the Forces of Evil (i never finished the series but i know shit was censored so it’s time to bring that to light).

-And hey, since we own everything on Fox now, let’s include Bob’s Burgers and even the Simpsons! They aren’t perfect but they at least made significant efforts over the years unlike some mouse-eared executives.

-i was gonna insist they include onward and the beauty and the beast remake with preceding interviews about how they recognize their mistakes now, but maybe it’s best to not bother lol INSTEAD let’s just have a nice featurette where these movies among many others come up as examples of mistakes and missteps that the mouse seeks to rectify and improve on 8).

-I guess they can also feel free to include whatever other legitimate things they had listed in their real pride watchlist, tho i would prefer it if Glee wasn’t at the top and that it had like a biiiiiig forewording about all the flaws in it that range from cringe to damaging and maybe they can include pop ups throughout the whole thing about how they could’ve done better in any given scene lol

-Also Mulan (the animated one that wasnt pandering to a corrupt government) cuz bisexuality and gender queer representation fucking matters bless lol

(If u actually read my rambles and have any other suggestions feel free to shout em out)

Sooo they cut my hours at work again :'3 but rather than cry about how poor I'm going to be, I'm excited cuz that gives me time to write vildras fic next week!<3

[lunarecat]

Nights where I'm super triggered require daydreams where Vildred is triggered and hostile and pushes people away cuz he's terrified of getting hurt again, only to find someone willing to see past all his flaws and look upon him with tenderness and love, someone willing to help heal him through the worst of times and stay beside him even when he's unbearable... Ras loves you so much bb ; ;

[lunarecat]

The most important part of the April fools story v v

[lunarecat]

Please consider Ras seeing Vildred naked for the first time since he woke up in world 7 and he spots several bruises and scars he doesn't recognize and it makes him twinge with empathy and he asks humbly where all these injuries came from. And Vildred has to swallow his new fears of intimacy to explain what he's been through the past 20 years...

Cry with me ; ;

True otp copium is dealing with your life by making up daydreams about it but it’s your favorite ship falling in love instead of your own misery lol

I often consider writing a vildras about them working at target, where Vildred is the team lead and model employee cuz he’s great at the job but also manages to keep morale high. Then Ras transfers in to help with the store and Vildred is assigned to be his trainer. Ras turns out to be awful at his job so he relies on Vildred to hold his hand through the whole process, and also to keep him smiling because retail sucks. Vildred doesn’t mind though because he knows how hard Ras is trying and he doesn’t want to see anyone on his team get fired because capitalism is unfair and all his team members matter to him. He’s happy to protect him in the work place from all the customers and leaders who want him fired. And even more so because he’s starting to fall in love<3 which also means vildred might end up being transferred else-where himself because the code says you can’t have a relationship in the same department. He’s been considering it though cuz Ras is worth it to him~

But here’s the plot twist: eventually, while Ras is away for a vacation, Vildred finds out Ras isn’t just some random new-hire after all. Ras is actually…… the son of the Target CEO. He’s a privileged billionaire’s son at no risk of being fired and his employment is entirely at the inconvenience of everyone at Vildred’s store. He was just there to feed Girlboss Diche insight about the regular stores and also to gain some “work ethic” before he eventually takes over the company.

Vildred is PISSED. It’s too bad he had to find out that way too cuz Ras had always wanted to tell Vildred the truth, especially cuz he was hoping to convince Diche to let him stay at Vildred’s store instead of taking the corporate job. It’s too late now though cuz Vildred is joining Kayron’s mutiny strike over low wages, cut hours, and abusive work loads, and Ras is now his #1 enemy. Will Ras ever be able to win Vildred’s trust back?

Is any of this even interesting or am I just amusing myself here? x’D
