Honestly people who refuse to ship m/f ships because they’re “straight” or whatever are so fucking boring, like I don’t ship people based on gender, I ship based on chemistry. Shipping isn’t activism, you don’t get woke points for having the most “progressive” ship like this is supposed to be fun so fuck off with your fandom policing and get a life.
As a queer person? This. Thank you so much for this post OP.
I have tons of ships both queer and straight and it’s so irritating to see people throw the het ships under the bus or mock people that like them.
Look, I get it. I’m angry about the lack of representation too. But your anger at people shipping things is completely misplaced and doesn’t help anyone! They’re not the ones causing your pain. They’re just people trying to enjoy things.
Harness your anger and use it positively. Make your own works with representation. Make content for your ships. Write to companies that are making these stories. Ask about LGBT characters. These things help.
Yelling at someone because they like a het ship, calling het ships gross or boring, telling people that if they ship it they must be a cishet too (blatantly wrong I know plenty of queer folks that ship het stuff) all that is just you projecting anger and it’s not actually -doing anything-.
A lot of people dislike The Fellowship of the Ring because it spends so much time faffing around in the Shire, but that’s precisely why it’s my favorite. The whole series is a lot more enjoyable when you remember that Frodo spent years sighing melodramatically and thinking he was some poor tortured soul who must leave home in secrecy and solitude for a mysterious fate…. but literally all of his friends knew he had a secret evil ring and made all his travel plans for him behind his back.
Like. He paced around going “woe is me! such a burden I must carry!” so obviously that his whole squad accepted the fact that they’d all go on a dangerous international adventure with him because Frodo the Drama Queen could not be expected to take care of himself.
I love Hobbits.
Also they accomplished it via the Power of Gossip and the only reason Frodo himself didn’t pick up on it is because he vastly underestimates the intelligence of every single other hobbit he knows bc he thinks he is Special he’s such a condescending ass and I Love him
Frodo: “I must confess… I have some bad news for you. I have not been totally honest. I can’t tell you everything, but–”
His entire social group: “Is this about how you’re the new bearer of the One Ring and need to take it out of the Shire to be destroyed? Yeah, dude, we know. We’re all packed and ready to go whenever.”
Frodo: “But but but but but! How did you know? How could you EVER figure out my SECRETS?!”
His entire social group: “Gee, Frodo, I don’t know… maybe you’re a pretentious dumbass and we aren’t the bumbling fools you think we are?”
This was a cartoon where the main human star was a black native American woman.
Her mother was black and father native American and both of their cultures played HUGE ROLES IN THE SHOW.
That’s just the tip of the ice berg.
Remember Goliath was voiced by Keith David.
Growing up in the 90s this show was everything. Remember when Goliath was turned human he had brown skin while everyone else was white.
@killakillakadafi191 Keith David is sooooo slept on! I miss the after school cartoon lineup. It use to be the highlight of my day.
I remember me and my lil bro trying to get home and finish our homework before 4:30
I loved this show! We had a VHS board game at my house. Like you’d put in the tape and play the game and then get certain routes or instructions from the tape. We really enjoyed this show as kids, my siblings and I!
Elisa was half Nigerian too so I was like yay Naija girl. I loved this show
The full series is on YouTube still I believe. I have to watch it again
wayne enterprises almost certainly has clothing as one of their retail subsidiaries and i like to imagine it getting really profitable just because bruce spends so much time listening to models bitch at parties. all of their product lines have names like “It Has Real Pockets” and “Not See-Through” and “Full-Length Sleeves” and “Secret Elastic Waist”. the marketing department is like “okay obviously these are all working titles” and bruce is like “no. leave it. that is what it’s called.” and they try to talk him out of it but he owns a helicopter and you can’t argue with a man who owns a helicopter. they sell so fast. the women of gotham are well-dressed and comfortable and always have somewhere to keep their phones.
The amazing thing about this is that in the newsreels Bucky is played off as a ridiculous sidekick to hide the fact that he’s out there brutally killing people, and Steve is literally sitting next to a professional killer and STILL acts like his complaints are adorable.
