Someone pointed out that a lot of recent films that previously focused on the importance of found family (Lilo and stitch is the most recent, but they also mentioned Frozen, Wreck It Ralph, and Toy Story, plus HTTYD in the tags) have had that messaging undone by their sequels and remakes. And if I were more conspiracy brained, I would point out how found family narratives are very important to queer people, who’re often rejected or mistreated by their biological families, because it reminds them that there is a place for them in the world. That even if some or all of their blood relatives won’t have them, someone out there will gladly welcome them into their family of choice. It’s been foundational to the queer experience for centuries and so much media that’s beloved by queer people (whether openly queer or merely coded) focuses on it. And how in a social and political time when backlash against queer people is reaching a fever pitch, the emphasis on “actually no, these people who were shunned, mistreated, and isolated for being different and came together to be happy anyway should split up without even a thought to the people who have loved and welcomed them and made them feel safe and accepted for the first time. They should all have normal dreams and want to live respectable, individualist lives and have socially acceptable careers and get married and have children, and the ones who want them all to stay together are explicitly shown to be wrong and holding the others back.” is actually kind of nefarious, especially with Disney’s current very, very, very bad erasure of queer themes and characters along with the revelation of their support of Florida’s don’t say gay bill. Given all that, this would all seem very concerning to me. Good thing I’m not conspiracy brained tho.

If Canon Nathaniel's mom is revealed to be part of the council like people are theorising, will he become a sentimonster in La Terreur?

Or has he already turned into one just due to being a rich kid lol?

Nope. The Kurtzbergs aren't related to GOHSE in any way and we have no plans to change that even if canon puts them on the Not-SEELE council. Besides, we're trying to, like.. stay as far away from drawing any comparisons between the secret cult that rules the world and Jewish people. GOHSE is a creepy evil shadow organization but in a very Catholic way, y'know? Those damn Catholics.

Idk I just think it's a crazy thing that on the foreground the magic broom of flying is side by side with Percy's cane, which is way more down-to-earth but no less a reminder of a miracle

Every time I blink there's some new Jon, John, or Johannes taking up space in my head. I plan to add to it by finally sitting down and reading through Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell in the coming year. Still missing a Johanna, though.
