Q: Was Carver intended to be LGBTQ? I remember there were a couple jokes about him secretly liking to cross dress, could Carver be a trans girl or maybe a future drag queen?
A: Carver was definitely the probably LGBTQ character. We were never overt about it and I think, you know, Carver was 12... He didn't really know. He was sort of just figuring stuff out, but I always assumed that he would grow to be gay or bi. And we did do one or two cross dressing jokes, but I always felt like those were more about... he was super into fashion. He was exploring different looks. I didn't think he was cross dressing. I think he was just dressing up. That said, he would be an amazing drag queen. Also, you couldn't overtly say anything. I feel like almost every cartoon at that time had a character who everyone on the show knew was gay. Like, that was just kind of a thing, because you couldn't have gay characters. But there were gay people working on the shows, you know? It was the world then just as it is now. There are gay people around. So it seemed you would sort of have it in your head that this is the character who was gay, but you'd never really say anything about it.

Do you ever watch an episode of TV that is just so buck wild you just can't imagine how someone could write plot relevant porn for it? And then just head over to Ao3 to see how they did it?
