#doafp spoilers

Alright, before we start, this is JUST MY OPINION, and you are entitled to disagree. I'm also part of the lgbtqia community, so this isn't like, a straight person's pov about this whole situation.
Do I believe that it is better to cast queer actors in queer roles? Yes. Obviously it is amazing to give opportunities to queer actors to represent the community. HOWEVER, if it comes down to it, I personally do not think there is much issue with a straight actor playing a queer role, but ONLY if the actor is being extremely respectful about it.
Example, Charlie Bushnell playing Bobby cañero-reed in doafp. (Spoiler alert) Before filming the season 2 coming out scenes, Charlie made sure to consult people of the community and ask them about their experiences. He listened attentively to their stories, and made sure to learn so that he could play the role as accurately as he could without having experienced it himself.
Owen Joyner playing Alex mercer in jatp is another example. He made sure to talk to Kenny Ortega (the director, who is gay) to make sure he was playing the role accurately and respectfully, to do justice to the community.
I'm sure there are other examples, but these are the ones I can think of right now. And both did a fantastic job. While I would definitely prefer if a queer actor is playing a queer role, I don't think it's horrible if a straight actor does it, so long as they make sure to do it with utmost respect, bcs at the end of the day those characters are still representation for our community.
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading lol. Guess I had a lot to say after diving into kit Connor Twitter.

sorry to keep complaining on main but I need to vent about this
I’m just. So Upset. about this whole leak situation.
I’ve tried blocking tags. I’ve tried blocking people. I haven’t opened pinterest or youtube in two days. And it’s still not enough. I still have seen spoilers. Maybe not as many as I would have had I not taken those precautions, but still enough.
And I feel like I’m (and as I’m sure everyone else is) at such a crossroads because like. Now I have to make the decision of watching the leaked episode and not say a word about it or not watching it and risk getting even more spoiled? It’s only been two days how are any of us supposed to last two weeks? Am I just supposed to not go online for two entire weeks? What am I? A cavewoman? As much respect as I have for people who are capable of that I’m too weak-willed for that.
I saw a screenshot of a moment I know would have squealed at in delight had I seen it live, and instead it just made me way to throw up. One thing about me is I hate knowing other people are watching and enjoying something while I am missing out. You know, when Hollow Mind aired I had to work that day, so I set my alarm for 5:30 AM just so I could watch it and react to it before going to work and I was freaking happy to do so.
On the flip-side, when DOAFP season 2 aired I only got through an episode and a half before our internet completely shit the bed. I was so upset that I cried. It took 2 days to fix and when I finally got to see the episodes and got back online to talk about it, it felt like the hype on tumblr had completely died down already and I had missed it. That was 2 days, how is 2 weeks going to effect this fandom?
I was so excited to see this episode, and now my excitement has been completely ruined. I was literally talking to my therapist on Tuesday how I feel I have been so much better mentally recently than I was a year ago, largely in part due to having toh to focus on and the new episode to look forward to. And I know, I know. I knew from the beginning that staking so much of my mental health on one show was a bad idea but frick I couldn’t help it. I haven’t cried yet but man I’m getting close. I already laid face down on the floor a while. Is this a healthy reaction? No. But what else am I supposed to do. I’m trying so hard to remain optimistic, to tell myself that I don’t know the whole story and there will still be surprises, but the truth of the matter is I’m not excited for this episode now and that’s fucking sad.
We should be making theories right now. We should be writing fics and drawing art. We should be rewatching the previous episodes in preparation. And instead we’re fucking dodging leaks left and right.
I wanted so badly to finish my Gus x Matty reunion comic before ftf aired and that’s just been ruined for me. I was even hoping I might have time to do a Hunter x Willow comic too and it just feels pointless now. I am trying so hard to focus on drawing my comic and writing my Steve x Katya fic and I’m just struggling to focus on any of it because I’m too upset. And it sucks because I know if I’m not careful I could easily slip into a creative block again like I was exactly a year ago before toh altered my brain chemistry. I don’t want to go back to being depressed and uninspired like that again.
I don’t know what to do really. I know everyone in the fandom is going through the same thing, I just had to get my thoughts out, even though they are very self-centered. I just don’t know.

can we just talk about the look on bobby’s face here?? the relief when elena jumped into his arms because she’s always going to be there to love and support bobby. the way he trusts her and feels so comfortable around his little sister to come out to her. they never have to carry things alone and they both know that. their relationship is everything to me and i just love the cañero-reed siblings so freaking much

i just need to talk about what the fu k i just witnessed. you’re telling me liam knows that bobby used to have an enormous gigantic crush on him. AND. danny was going on and on about how bobby should be totally over this crush bc he’s dating cj now, all while bobby and liam were having the most intense eye contact in the WORLD, insinuating that no actually, bobby IS NOT over liam, even though he should be? and THEN. AND THEN, just to top it all off, BOBBY LOOKS BACK AT LIAM AS HES LEAVING??????? looking conflicted as hell???? disney fucking channel. what are you doing to my heart.

Me during the Bobby and CJ's date: they won't kiss. It's disney and Camila and Danielle already kissed this episode, there's no way we are gonna have another queer kiss
CJ: I've been wanting to kiss you, is that okay?

And thennnn THE CAFETERIA SCENE AT THE END! GUYS!!!! I literally don’t know what to think. Are we really gonna have a gay love triangle in season 3 Disney?!?!? This shit just got intense

guys... did you see the way liam was looking at bobby when they were in the restaurant? how awkward he got when bobby mentioned cj? the way he was looking at bobby when danny was talking about bobby’s crush on him?? he likes him. and, based on how hesitant bobby was to say he was over him and the lookback, i’m pretty sure he still has feelings for him too. tennis boyfriends lives on <3
