Disney's First Gay Blog @urfaveisdisneysfirstgaycharacter - Tumblr Blog

It's been a full year since our last post and I thought I'd give kind of an update of sorts

So I made this blog originally last year in college just before finals when I was stressed, and then covid hit and I got worse. I got sick, I lost all motivation, and I lost everything (my jobs, my school, the ability to go out with my family) that grounded me. This blog got hit worst out of the things I took up in my spare time, because quite frankly it's kind of taxing to run. It's fun don't get me wrong, but there's just a lot of. Let's say negative feedback to something that is........frankly a stupid joke I, an lgbt person, made while waiting for my early morning class to start. And honestly it was bogging down my mental health a little bit running it and just seeing straight up lgbtphobia directed at me because I said a funny cartoon character was gay, even when I just block it immediately. On top of that, while I super appreciate anyone who sent suggestions to the inbox, I have over 300 sitting there right now and was getting message upon message every day when I was posting regularly and it was a little overwhelming. Even if I closed the box the first time I really got overwhelmed, I already had about a hundred messages. Which is great! Just a lot at once.

I do want to pick this blog up again, but I have no idea when that would happen, and just felt that since the last post was a year ago I should say something you know. I'm still sick, and truly have no motivation for this kind of thing right now.

tldr; I'm still here, I want to pick this blog up again, but it's a little mentally taxing to run due to just how many requests I get and general lgbtphobia thrown in my direction, and I do not have the mental energy to do much at the moment.

(psst, when it comes to cryptids, it'll be good to double check whether using them is disrespectful to indigenous people, too. W*ndig**g are an unfortunate example of this.)

oh yeah dw i’m very aware of this

Mod Curt here! As an indigenous person myself, I am very aware of our folklore being ignorantly labeled as mainstream cryptids. I trust mod Norman to make good decisions, but I still keep an eye out too so no worries!

Are you alright with cryptids such as mothman? Just wondering cause idk if they're allowed and i dont wanna accidentally make you uncomfortable

This actually made me realize I should probably be careful with cryptids fhdskafhkl

So for me, Mod Norman, it’s case by case since I never actually? know what’s gonna set off my paranoia? That’s my main problem is my paranoia that sometimes evolves into hallucinations if I’m not careful.

Anyway, mothman is fine and most? cryptids are fine. it’s if i start reading about them that i get freaked out and issues occur. I’ll say the only thing I have to be careful with actually seeing images of are stuff like black eyed children, grey aliens, and stuff like the rake (as in like, resembles physically). That sets it off a lot (which super sucks because I love greys. funky little dudes.)

tldr; its case by case and mostly just the listed cryptids i won’t mess with

#mod norman #remember theres two mods so i cant speak for curt #many cryptids in general give me a general sense of unease #which is fine #i just gotta be careful of exploring too much #which sucks because im super interested in them fhdsklaf #but yeah its case by case its just up to me to be careful jfdska #Anonymous

I just realized that podcasts are not Disney, so that ask is irrelevant anyway. Sorry, thank you.

Oh no! We take everything. It doesn’t have to be Disney. The disney part is just because the og joke was about disney claiming every time they did some minor lgbt rep it was the first amazing gay character ever.

#Mod Norman #honestly its funnier when the character isnt disney to me #because disney would claim they invented the first ever gay taako taaco #Anonymous

Are DBH on the "no" list because of the character's back stories/dubious sexualities or just a personal issue? I'm asking out of curiosity because I dunno if DBH has drama behind it. (Except people complaining about the uniforms and hot the story has a fairy tale good ending in the sense that stuff like these aren't that easy to solve). I do like your blog and its just a personal inquiry. Sorry if I stepped out of line.

You’re fine! This is nicer worded than I thought I’d get after posting that list tbh fhdskla

I do remember some drama when the game first came out, just not what it was, but yeah it’s 100% a personal reason I don’t want to mess with it. Like associations with bad stuff that happened kind of personal. Same kind of reason I couldn’t watch The Force Awakens for years because something happened to me Around That Time and my dummy brain said “that’s all you can think of when you watch it now”. So yeah, tldr; totally arbitrary personal reason.

#mod norman #when i say personal reasons i mean like #legit mental health reasons usually fhdksla #im not going into detail just because #well i shouldnt have to #but some things just have associations in my head w bad things #or remind me of bad people #that's all #Anonymous

How do you feel about podcast characters (Critical Role, Welcome to Night Vale, The Adventure Zone, etc...)?

These are kind of hard since we use pictures with our posts. I’m pretty sure I put in the faq (legit just don’t feel like checking rn fhdksal i’m a lil a tired) but I think what I decided is if they have no canon art we can use, y’all may submit your own art. But my personal rule is I have to have permission from the original artist, which is why I specify your own. I want to be able to credit artists.There’s a small chance *I* might try to draw them myself but considering I’m only ever really happy with my warrior cats and mlp designs that’s a small chance and more likely something I’d do on my own time rather than as a request.(Note: Some TAZ: Balance characters do get a pass (I know we have a few Taako’s in the inbox already) since the graphic novel came out. But if anyone wants their specific design used, feel free. Again I just want permission from the artist and its safer if the artist themselves submits it rather than someone saying “they said its ok”.)
