you spoil me uwu

🎥 - ok for treasure planet, gotta be the 12 years later scene in the beginning and the zoom in to the spaceport, the way it transitions from jim reading under the blankets to him flying on his solar surfer is so chefs kiss, and just like. everything about to the spaceport lmao, fr guardians definitely the scene where soren flies through the fire and then blows up the pulley system to get rid of the flecks energy, bro when hes flying above it all holding the lantern before he dives down to save them? chills

🍀 - you know im on that projection shit w/ juno steel, ive truly never like connected with a character like that before and he’s really really helped me thru my recovery and transition lol, fr 911 uhhh ig buck or eddie? i havent Thought About It or like consumed it enough times yet to rly settle on someone but fr now,,, they

🏳️‍🌈 - ok for howls, Everyone Is Bi/Pan, howl is trans and autistic and i will die on that hill, fr treasure planet jim and cpt amelia are both trans and both of them + doppler are autistic, fr loz link is trans, autistic and semi nonverbal and communicates primarily with asl, post twilight princess zelda says fuck it and finds a way back into the twilight realm and she midna and link hang out, most of these boil down to everyone i love is trans gay and autistic because i say so lmaooo

📃 - OK SO. without like, spoiling too many plot points, our main character is cara and she lives with her grandmother. her mom is dead and dad is out of the picture. one day theyre getting chased by these people that her grandma knows and cara gets thrown into an alternate realm full of fantasy creatures using her grandmothers amulet. she meets a unicorn named lightfoot and a bunch of other rad people and basically, starts a journey to save that world from the Hunters. the Hunters are an organisation who specifically hate unicorns and want them all dead, led by Beloved, and cara and her friends have to try and stop them from entering the world and wiping them out. its sooo so so good and i highly recommend it cause i have no one to talk to about it please god

✨ - oh boy uh, well. im just gonna like list them out lmao

unicorn chronicles: i loved unicorns as a kid and read it when i was in elementary school, and over the years its remained just as compelling and well written as i remember and like. god the whole concept is so godamn cool and all the subplots that get introduced are fuckign fantastic and like all the different creatures are amazing i literally cant sing its praises enough

howls moving castle: must i have a logical reason? is it not to vicariously live my fantasy of running away to the countryside with a wizard boyfriend, his demon and his apprentice?? for real though, its such a fantastic story with beautiful visuals in the movie and wonderfully compelling prose in the book, and esp in the movie the whole time travel subplot with sophie seeing howl and calcifer in the past and then howl finding her in the future makes me go feral

penumbra: gays in space. need i say more? im a huge slut for gay found family and especially in futuristic space, and im a huge big fan of the lgbt utopia its created. like yeah capitalism sucks but at least im not gonne get misgendered in space starbucks, u kno? all the writing and dialogue is so incredible and the SOUND DESIGN GOD, alex i know u specifically can relate when i say i would kill a man for sophie and her incredible sound design skills, like dude the dance scene in man in glass p2 you can hear every single individual step they take and every swish of junos dress and i jusT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god its so good, plus the whole the characters help me work through my trauma and repressed anger haha

911: this one is entirely your fault. so obligatory horny on main everyone on that show is so hot i want oliver stark to cradle me gently in his beefy arms oh my god. other than Men, the way it drives home the whole ‘you can’t save everyone, and it will kill you to try, so just focus on what you can do and keep living’ makes me so emo. the way it tackles big bureaucratic issues as well as closer to home interpersonal ones is amazing and i love how it shows people going through and dealing realistically with trauma.

treasure planet: again, who doesnt want to live in Cool Steampunk Space Travel Future? i really really love jims story and his arc, the way he deals with his trauma is uhh very familiar lol and his relationship with silver is like the ideal. the story is just the coolest concept and i love all the wonderful character design and animation, plus the soundtrack SLAPS and everything is beautiful

legend of zelda: ive been associated with this series from a very young age due to my name and as soon as i gave into my fate and looked it up for real i just kinda fell into it lol. i cant really tell you exactly what draws me to it besides ‘wow fun game!’ and ‘god i wish that were me,’ but like the absurd amount of detail thats put into each installment and the creative ways they retell essentially the same/similar story over and over is incredible

guardians of gahoole: so i had the same experience with this and treasure planet which is i remembered ‘oh hey this is a movie that exists and i cant clearly remember watching it, ill look it up :)’ and then it consumed my life for a solid 3 months. firstly this movie is absolutely gorgeous, the animation and framing is fucking stunning and the way they handled owls talking like people as far as the movement of their very inflexible beaks was amazing. it sort of has the same draw for me as warrior cats? secret animal society ft incredibly traumatic experiences and the characters dealing with it. like, the whole concept is just so fuckign wild and it works so well, i rly enjoy this niche genre.

💎 - alright trivia time, so guardians of gahoole is based on a book series and the movie only covers part of the first arc i think idk, BUT theres another series set in the same universe called wolves of the beyond that i devoured when i was younger! i didnt know they were connected for the longest time and when i found out i was :000, i still rly love wolves of the beyond and wanna reread it, as well as read the actual gahoole books. in the howls books, sophie is a redhead! also, markl is named michael and like a fully functioning young adult who ends up marrying one of sophies sisters. treasure planet is, obviously, based off treasure island but its so much better than the book dont bother reading it lol i tried and it was boring. there was plans for a treasure planet sequel that was fully scripted and cast but it was cancelled cause disney sabotaged treasure planet from the start with the shitty release and advertising and tldr we were ROBBED, also amelias concept was much more octopus like and while that wldve been rad im p glad she was switched to a cat for. several reasons lol. uhh i dont have a lot of Fun Facts abt the unicorn chronicles but for the longest time i thought there were only 3 books and then last year i found the fourth book by chance in a kitsch store and nearly had a breakdown i was so happy, like full on i started shaking and crying cause there was so much joy in my body i cldnt contain it.

thats all i can think of tysm ily, to anyone who read all of this bless u please watch guardians of gahoole and read the unicorn chronicles i will love u forever

#IM LOVE U #friendos #alex #and z answers #astrallouis

In fandoms, if two boys hold hands people ship them all across the board. No two boys can be very platonically close. But if the same thing happens with two girls who have even more of a bond and it could be seen as romantic? "gal pals". there's so much prejudice against wlw and i'm not gonna go into why because uhh yeah.

there are hardly any sapphic ships in popular series. if wlw want to ship two female characters who they see romantically and who they can identify with? fucking let them oh my god.

have you ever shipped two straight people and hoped they'd be together? it's not any different apart from there being more hope because we've had to struggle with not being accepted and even thinking there's something wrong with us. having representation is important.

so before you go off on your long ass rants because internally you're upset that queer people want to see themselves in media, maybe just think about how it feels? these characters and ships mean so much to us. more than any of ur otps might mean to you.

some of these ships (mostly canon ones like haline and malec) have saved peoples lives. yet there are hardly any, still. there is the whole aspect of publishers and editors or whoever not allowing queer characters or ships into the books. that's very bad. so with the lack of queer ships, what the hell is wrong with queer people shipping non-canon queer ships because they mean a lot to us and we need to feel represented? they're just fucking ships that we're not forcing onto anyone else.

"they're not lgbt+ so why are u shipping them???2?1? thats bad!!2!1!" i don't know gemima have u seen the colossal amounts of straight people in books? we dont get that. fucking let us ship what we want. it's not harming you.

is it considered bad to ship basil hallward and dorian gray because dorian isnt canonically gay? considering the events of that book i'd say that's uhhh a wild ship but no, people embrace it. is it bad that people ship remus lupin and sirius black? no, it's not. it's fine, and remus lupin is married. so why is it suddenly not allowed for people to ship a girl who's in an unofficial het relationship w another girl? by fandom standards, that should be fine. people ship draco malfoy and harry potter, theyre both married to women. it's not sexuality erasure so that's okay too. the difference? it's only considered ok with f/m and m/m ships. it's not okay at all for jk rowling to say that people shouldnt ship remus/sirius or anyone. what people have been saying about sapphic ships is exactly the same context except theyre not the author of tsc. people ship non canon queer ships in basically every fandom. usually due to the lack of them in the first place. it's the same thing here with sapphics and f/f ships, though i'm certain that cassie would include more if she were allowed. which is why she is going to include more in later books.

the fact remains: you have to question yourself if everyone you support is white and not diverse at all. you have to question yourself when most-all of the books/movies/tv shows you like are uninclusive and unrealistically undiverse. you have to question yourself when the only ships/characters you like are m/m or f/m, or even if you have a bunch of non-canon m/f and m/m ships but no non-canon f/f ships (although if you're not into shipping any non-canon ships that's absolutely fine.) you have to ask yourself how you can do better, and listen to the marginalised groups that you're affecting.

when it gets to this point— when you're being extremely discriminatory agains sapphic characters, ships, and even people in fandoms— it's not good at all. this is why we had haline day, because they're the only sapphic ship (apart from the werewolf girl and her girlfriend in tbc, they never came up again so they don't really count sbbssj) in any published tsc books so far, and they're married, but there was little to no content of them. it was mostly sapphic people who made content for them. (which isn't okay, because straight people and sapphic people as well as mlm create content for loads of different mlm ships). but since then there's been a huge improvement, and it's absolutely great. but this is another hurdle. all we can hope to do is do better as a fandom.

it's not that you have to ship every non-canon sapphic ship— you don't. although, like i said before, if you ship non-canon f/m and m/m ships, not shipping non-canon f/f ships is a problem. and, not to subtweet or anything, but this is just an example using something i saw. it makes no sense to say "yeah sorry i don't like them much because i dont like the friends to lovers trope ://" but your main het ship is a friends to lovers ship.

there's no need to spread negativity about a ship that is unproblematic. i don't like jemma, i've talked about it because i don't like a lot of things that have happened w them, and that's my opinion. i dont force it on people knowingly. i don't ship heronchild non-platonically (i love their platonic relationship though), and i think that they're one of the male friendships that's made romantic because of the "if boys show affection towards each other they're gay" thing, but it's fine that people ship them! it's absolutely fine.

what's not fine is what has happened: sapphic people having one canon ship to identify with and feel represented by, so we ship non-canon ships in peace. they're entirely unproblematic (honestly, name one problematic thing about rosast@irs or lil/ia in canon), but people are creating anti tags for them, and saying that we shouldnt ship them or want to feel represented by them.

as a fandom this is something we need to change and do better on. there's no use in arguing with the marginalised people in question (in this case: sapphic people) especially when the majority of us feel this way. i've seen sapphic people themselves doing what i am addressing here, that doesn't justify it.

i hope you've gotten my points without feeling like it's an attack, because it's not. it's a bad thing that needs to be addressed and changed. the discrimination and erasure against wlw/sapphic people, characters, and ships is a lot. it's toxic, and if our fandom can do better, isn't that a good thing?

#the majority of fandoms hate sapphics i swear #but honestly please dont take this as an attack;m #*attack #thank u!!#you're probably all lovely people but this isn't good #people will probably hate me all over again #ndshshhdhs oh well i'll risk it if it helps #also this is okay to reblog #even if youve done what i'm addressing recently or in the past #change is v good #lgbt+#rant #the shadowhunter chronicles #tsc fandom #lesbian tag
