I really like the attention unus annus brings to how limited time we have for things. I’ve been thinking about the last time I saw my grandma before she died. I was 14 and we spent new years with her. It’s so hard to see her because she lives in another state and plane tickets are expensive. At that time it never occurred to me it would be the last time I would see her. We went to the state one other time to see family but my grandma was very ill and my mother had gotten a flu while we were there so we decided to not see her. We had every idea and expectation that she would get better. But she passed away about a year or so later. So that New Years was the last time I saw her and I didn’t even know it was the last. I think it’s cool to think these videos are only here for a limited time and to really think about how you want to spend that video time. I never think about what I should have done more of when my grandma was alive. Because I can’t do those things and I will never have the knowledge then that I do now. I did the best I could then so I can’t regret. It is what it is. But I do know when unus annus is going to end. And you’d think id spend that time rewatching all the videos or watching all the videos I never saw. But I honestly just want to watch the video where marks mom sees “sexy legs” and tries to hook Ethan up with a Korean girl on fucking repeat. Good god.

let's talk about she-ra

let me just start off by saying that this is not meant to call anyone dumb for liking this show nor am I trying to get people to stop watching this show because to be honest there is a lot of things I like about the show too but I want to have a healthy discussion about what I've been seeing in cartoons lately. what I've been seeing these shows do is put in lgbt+ characters and relationships, body positivity, and physically/ magically strong female characters (as they should) and then not doing these innovative, real characters justice. before you ask yes I've seen she ra seasons 1 and 2 and ill probably watch 3 because after hearing about entrapdak I've decided I need to see it, but I just feel like she ra has so much potential and it just falls through when it comes to writing and plot. one of my least favorite episodes is when everyone is sitting outside a horde infested base and these QUEENS. literal queens running a country are fucking around and when Adora says to stop because they need a plan to get the base back they fuckin tell her “No! we don’t need a plan in this war that killed so many people that all our kingdoms decided to end the war on the horde! we just need to believe!”. this is really not a good idea. I know this is a kids show but i feel like they can still add a level of seriousness to this war-torn situation. children are not stupid that they can't handle this stuff or we shouldn't expect seriousness to be written in a “kids show”.

this episode ends with the base being taken back no problem as it always does. the problem with this is that the horde does not look like the big bad evil that its talked about to be. in the episode with whats her face who controls plants (sorry i cant remember her name in the heat of writing), her citizens end up fighting the horde and winning so easily. when you look at the episode they are beating them with leaves and they defeat them in a matter of seconds. it just makes the horde look not so scary and instead of making the flower people seem strong and make the audience satisfied that they found their strength it just makes the horde look weak and like a joke which takes away from the satisfaction

my other issue is with frosta. I feel like frosta would have been my favorite had they kept with her “mature for her age” persona. the switch to a dumb child who couldn't take anything seriously and be overzealous about beating monsters even though she valued safety and keeping the peace in the last episode. i would have loved to see the show address her issue with being forced to mature fast and take on a ton of responsibility as a child. I would have loved to see her struggle and grow with the understanding that this war robbed her of her childhood and maybe she would even struggle to understand what it meant to be a kid. she could have struggled with shutting off the queen persona, unknowing how to be a kid and to relax, maybe even have glimmer show her how to act her age and that its ok to not be serious all the time, but that's not what happened.

I also wish that they did more with the fact that Adora is from the horde and has knowledge and skills from that time. she was going to be a force captain and knew their battle strategies. I would love to see how cunning and battle savvy she is from training all her life to be a soldier. I would love to see her switch into battle mode out of the instinct of knowing what to do. I would also love to see her struggle more with the changes or her new life. not just struggling to sleep alone in a puffy bed, but struggle to understand what people do outside training for war. she may also have issues relaxing. we also see that she had never seen a horse before, let's expand on that! I also want to see where her insecurities of failing come from. I know she feels she failed catra but shadow weaver has been building up Adora all her life. shes always the best and was going to be a captian. she should feel confident in her war strategies and battle abilities (in my personal opinion) I'm not saying she shouldn't feel insecure I just want it expanded upon more.

I have a lot more to say about dialog, other characters personalities, etc. but ill end on a good note. the best thing about this show is Catra. she's so real and so tragic. shes been abused her whole life, we see her imitate learned manipulative behavior from shadow weaver and use it against people. she has shown and proved to be a threatening villain unlike the rest of the horde. that scene where she keeps going to visit shadow weaver and shadow weaver shows affection towards her? perfection. you can see catra wanted that so bad. she wants sw to love and believe in her because she's the closest thing to a mother catra has and catra wants that connection. when sw betrays her it's so tragic and sad and REAL. it's serious, catras the most serious person in this whole series. so don't even give me the “well its a kids show sooo...” excuse because kids deserve good cartoons. this cartoon has so much potential but it's just not giving these lgb,t body-positive females what they deserve and thats a good show.

overall this is not an issue of disliking that she ra is not a sexy woman, or that I hate the “UneSEsarrY gAY RepReSenTation”. its that having lgbt people and different body types and #strongfemales. I just don't think we should applaud a fish for swimming and ignore that the pond is dirty (???werid analogy but I tried????) anyway let me know your thoughts. i would love to have a healthy discussion about this. I am not trying to anger or put down anyone who supports this show I just feel strongly about this topic and would like to share it with my community and hear what they think. thank you.

i’m sorry, what?

waterlilly549

Nah I thinks it’s going to be a story from the silmarillion

I’m just gonna say it

I don’t think she ra is that good. I love those lesbians but I think the writing and the voice acting just isn’t what it could be. I mean these aren’t deal breakers for me like I’ll still watch the show and like it but I just feel that it’s not the best it could be. Just wanted to put that out there and see what everyone else thinks

For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
