I remember when Carrie Fisher passed Kathleen Kennedy gave the quote “there’s little girls who will someday say may the force be with you because of Carrie which means her legacy will forever be engraved in history” and that’s all that I’m thinking about right now. There’s little kids out there who will someday say Wakanda Forever because of Chadwick Boseman and they’ll get to watch themselves on screen and see themselves in an action figure. What a legend of a man. An absolute legend who will never be forgotten.

I support the goals of Moses and #LetMyPeopleGo but I’m disappointed to see what used to be peaceful protests take such a violent turn :( Politely asking Pharaoh to free the Israelites from slavery is more effective than unleashing plague after plague on Egypt. And now I hear that a lot of Israelites are out destroying their own communities by tagging their houses with some kind of gang sign? that’s painted with animal blood? What does that even accomplish? I agree that a whole people being in bondage and having their babies killed is kind of messed up, but it’s still never okay to destroy people’s property with hail and locusts. They need to show more respect to the people who’ve been systemically slaughtering them. Violence never solved anything :( Two wrongs never make a right :( :(

sokka was the only kid in that show with social skills and a brain and he effortlessly charmed literally every. single. person. he met especially royalty no matter the age or nation this is why the writers had to nerf him and make him a non bender cause if he coulda bend anything the show woulda been called sokka and his good pal the avatar and its main conflicts would all be resolved by the third episode tops

“It helped that we do have a very natural rapport with each other…. These two characters physically need to be very comfortable with one another. They’re literally intertwined for half the film.” Ronan says.

Chalamet adds: “In the least clichéd way possible, it really doesn’t feel like [I’m] acting sometimes [with her].”

Since we’re talking about cartoon lesbians...

Let’s talk about Ever After High, and how it completely re-wrote the narrative of compulsory heteronormativity in maybe the coolest way possible.

Let’s Begin:

Ever After High, although popular, is slightly less mainstream than say Barbie or it’s sister cartoon Monster High, so let’s get a rundown shall we?

The show follows the children of famous fairytale characters, who are split into two factions, the royals and the rebels. The two main characters are Apple White (daughter of Snow White) and Raven Queen (daughter of the evil queen). Raven is having second thoughts about her destiny as teh next big bad, but Apple wants her happily ever after, so she conspires for the two of them to be roommates (oh my god they were roommates) to try to convince her friend to ‘follow her destiny’

Spoiler Alert: Raven doesn’t, and the status quo is broken. The rebel’s realise that maybe they could have happy ending’s too, and the Royals are scared of losing theirs.

We could talk about how the show breaks down privilege and explores deeper societal issues through this narrative, but let’s instead focus on Raven and Apple for now.

Over time, the two develop a real friendship, and Apple becomes less concerned with her own happy ending and more with the safety of her friends, specifically Raven. In addition to this, Apple’s relationship with her boyfriend Daring Charming is tenous at best. They show no real chemistry, she often finds herself exasperated with his vanity, and he even shows interest in other students. Meanwhile, Apple spends more and more time with Raven. As such, many viewers thought that maybe Apple had a thing for her roommate, and I agreed.

BUT, Raven has her own love interest, Dexter, the youngest Charming brother, and their relationship is actually well-built and really sweet. So, Apple’s crush is unrequited, (although many people still thought rapple would be cute, myself included)

Then, we met Darling Charming, Derek’s twin.

Although born a royal, she joins the rebels, since she doesn’t (to her knowledge) have a fixed fairytale, and she wants to be savior like Daring. She takes on the role of the white knight, initially disguised as a guy, but eventually revealing herself to the protagonists.

So, that’s one heteronormative stereotype broken, which was cool enough on it’s own, right? She get’s to be her own Prince Charming, what more could happen?

THEN DRAGON GAMES HAPPENED IS WHAT

If you haven’t seen it, it’s on netflix (and most of the series is available on youtube) but tl;dr Apple accidentally frees the Evil Queen from her prison, they have a big fight with dragon’s, Raven and Apple works as a team, blah blah blah, good times all around. 

But something really interestng happens in between.

Apple gets cursed by the Evil Queen, meaning that she falls into an apple induced coma right? Well, Daring comes riding up, ready to kiss the girl, save the day, all that jazz.

Except, it doesn’t work. His ‘true love’s kiss’ fails to save Apple, and so it seems like she’s dead. So Raven and gang throw her a funeral, everyone’s sad, but Apple starts to choke in her sleep, and Darling (cause she’s a REBEL) runs forward to perform CPR and guess fucking what.

that’s right, she brings Apple back to life. WITH TRUE LOVE’S KISS.

Now lil old baby me didn’t really understand teh ramifications of this, but effectively, Apple is now in the Happily Ever After part of her story now, not with Daring, but with Darling, her true love and Princess Charming, WHICH IS FUCKING AMAZING???? like i watched this show growing up, and now there’s the implication of a same sex couple??? And, an extra note, this particular chapter of EAH came out before Disney and Co. jumped on the ‘it’s ok to be gay’ bandwagon, this was the first time I had ever seen a canon wlw pairing in my smol child life!

The series is still ongoing, so we don’t know FOR SURE, if Apple/Darling will be canon, but idk y’all… that is PRETTY gay.

Which is amazing??? I mean, while Disney is fooling around, releasing a new ‘first gay character’ every other week, we have a pretty much canon wlw couple, whose narrative arc would really come full circle in a satisfying way with the ship, and idk about y’all but I think that’s amazing! I mean, they had the perfect set-up for a Prince Charming + Perfect Princess endgame here, heck, we even had a backup Prince Charming who was a huge dork, and could effectivey ‘subvert expectations’ BUT INSTED THEY GAVE US THIS??? WE HAVE TO STAN!

IN CONCLUSION: pls watch Ever After High, because in this house we stan Darling Charming
