Is Anybody Out There? Can You Lead Me To The Light? Is Anybody Out There? Tell Me It’ll All Be Alright

Reading some of the articles Noelle has shared after the drop of Season 5 really opened my eyes to how difficult it must’ve been to make the show as gay as it was. I thought Dreamworks was just being super cool with everything, but she talked about how she really had to take her time with it; doing her best to be super convincing, being careful in picking the right times/vibe to meet with the execs, and not reveal all of what she wanted to be portrayed on screen all at once. How the catradora endgame she wanted was revealed to the exces later on, and how she broke down and cried when it was approved. It just goes to show what happens when actual LGBT folk run a show – they’ll actually fight for that representation! AND make sure it is good representation!

(I mean, would a cis-hetero have fought/pushed as hard for that rep? Or would they have just shrugged and been like “welp, it is what it is” and moved on? Previous shows have paved the way for She-Ra, but Noelle really pushed and pushed what they could show on screen)

Noelle also did a great job of making the representation feel normal. I’m tired of gay/queer characters having their gayness/queerness be their only defining characteristic/personality or dying off in the end, and She-Ra just set the bar extremely high for every future show. 

The fact that I was just doing that

some of you have never struggled not to look at a book or series’ tag on tumblr before finishing it and it shows

Happy 2025 here’s briar!! I was always fond of her design and her character so I’m very happy with this labor of love.

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

reminder that when change.org asks you to “chip in’ after you’ve signed a petition, that money does NOT go to the petition organizer or any related fundraiser. change.org uses misleading language like this to trick you into paying them. they’re a for-profit corporation. don’t give them your money, send what you can to verified bail funds / gofundme campaigns / etc. instead
