#adventure time #she-ra #the owl house #i was thinking of more before but i guess they'll come back to me #idk i think.. back when adventure time had a real impact on my emotional development #and i was first learning what the concepts of 'straight' and 'gay' even meant #i could of really benefitted from exposure to something like the way bubbline is represented in later seasons + obsidian #and the concept of a kids show that not only has someone who represents me in one way (queerness) #but in a variety of ways (poc/masc/afab/ettc) #and on top of that the characters are positively framed and complex and interesting #i think that would of done wonders for my self esteem #and i don't know if i'm bitter i never got to experience that #or if i'm glad that children will #i think it's ok to feel both #SIDENOTE: if someone tries to tell me marceline isn't a person of colour #look at her mum and tell me she isn't AT LEAST mixed race/black #like... check yourself
