Camila Noceda when she realizes she now has 6 traumatized children under her roof
Korra and Asami only held hands because Nickelodeon wouldn’t let them do more. Nick infamously cancelled Korra and put out the rest of season 4 as a webseries only.
Marceline and Princess Bubblegum only kiss in the very final episode because Cartoon Network wouldn’t let them do more. There are a ton of interviews with Pendelton and with the voice actresses where they talk about the CN censorship.
Steven Universe got as far as it did because Rebecca Sugar fought tooth and nail, and risked the show getting cancelled (which it did in many countries, if not heavily censored), because Cartoon Network wouldn’t let her. Ruby was often dubbed over with a male voice, and Pearl/Rose interactions were completely cut.
She-Ra managed to do it largely because it was specifically on Netflix only, and even then, Noelle has said they had to build 4 seasons of storyline very subtly around it so they had enough ammo to convince the execs that Catradora was the only logical conclusion to this show they had already aired. She didn’t just go in on Day 1 and make it gay; she had to plan many years in advance for how to set up her argument. Her argument, y’all.
And now we have The Owl House. Which is an absolutely wonderful show. And it’s so amazing that we actually get to see queer characters get the kind of representation that so many straight characters get. And it’s amazing we get to see the romance build up, instead of just a quick peck in the series finale!
Let’s not forget that in the US, it was illegal for gay people to get married until 2015. Korra aired in 2012. In Texas, it was a punishable felony to even be gay until 2003. No, literally. Just being gay was an arrestable offense here in Texas until 2003. We have come a really long way in 20 years!
But don’t fucking dare disrespect any of these other shows by saying they didn’t try, or that their representation didn’t matter. The Owl House is standing on the shoulders of giants. Lumity is only where it is because Korrasami and Bubbline helped get them there.

10 Reasons Why The 100 Is Literally the Shit
1. The main character is bisexual. Which you never fucking see, ever.
2. Physically disabled characters, one in particular who’s in the main cast, which you also never see. And disabled characters that don’t just miraculously heal, either.
3. There’s more than one gay character, and their personal subplot doesn’t revolve around them being gay.
4. Strong female characters. So many of them, Jesus H Roosevelt Christ. There are no damsels in distress, they all know how to kick some arse on their own. Even smaller roles, like Zoran’s mother in the second season, have substance to them.
5. Diverse cast with Latina characters, black characters and Asian characters, and not just a ‘pretend diverse’ cast with a single black background character who’s only there for some sort of comic relief.
6. They don’t gloss over issues of mental health, class, ethics and morality, which is all practically unheard of.
7. Villains, and in this particular case female villains, actually have some substance to their characters. God, you even sympathise with some of them, and those are the best kinds of villains.
8. Strong, interesting female characters don’t stop the show from portraying interesting male characters, ones who don’t always conform to stereotypical masculinity.
9. The adults in the show don’t treat the teenagers like children. They treat them like the young adults, who have been through a lot more than they should, that they are.
10. Superficially: everyone is pretty as fuck. Literally everyone. It’s a fucking wonderland.
Also, if you couldn’t tell how much I love this show, I’m naming my first born child after one of the characters.
