New Dana art on Insta!!! I remember seeing the drafts for the first and last pieces on her Patreon… I’m especially soft about the Lumity one because not only are they playing sports together and sweating but also. This is Luz getting to play Grudgby at Hexside with her girlfriend all over again AFTER the finale, after the pain and trauma, in the years leading up to the epilogue. After everything she can still be happy and have fun in the Boiling Isles!!!
GRAVITY FALLS-OWL HOUSE-AMPHIBIA CROSSOVER MERCH IS COMING
On what should have been a normal September day at Studio Bad Egg HQ, chaos erupts. A glowing portal, suspiciously triangular, bursts into the studio - bringing together three separate worlds. The Pines family come face to face with Eda the Owl Lady’s entourage and The Calamity Trio.
Its all the work of Bill Cipher - emboldened as he is by a New York Times bestseller and the Cipher Cult Collection. There’s only one answer. It’s time for every one of our animated heroes to come together - and see off that dapperly-dressed evil once and for all.
Gravity Falls, Amphibia and The Owl House merge together in the BYEEE collection, Studio Bad Egg’s big send-off, developed in collaboration with the pop-culture-defining trio of Dana Terrace, Matt Braly, and Alex Hirsch. In this explosive merging of worlds, we say goodbye to the family of shows that have inspired us from day one.
Get your hands on some exclusive, never-before-seen cult merchandise, starring some of the most iconic characters in animation, developed in partnership with their creators, with incredible concepts by Richmond Parakhen, designed by the remarkably talented Kyri45!
I never watched James Somerton. but I do remember when there was an increasing criticism ("criticism") of Animated shows like Steven Universe of She-Ra being "female-led queer shows" showing that queer women had an "easier" time getting heard of than Queer men.
And at the time I wasnt sure how much I personally could add to that discussion or how much was my place. but now that I feel I have better words to explain my feelings I can say I always thought it was bull.
Queer women do not have an "easier" time getting heard or getting their shows produced. Steven Universe got cancelled for homophobic reasons, and She-Ra had to be extremely careful with how they made Catradora Canon.
Those shows were also teared apart by "fans" who tried their hardest to make the most bad-faith arguments for these shows.
And yes, it is important to mention, ND Stevenson goes by He/Him while Rebecca Sugar is Non-binary, and that comes with their own set of discrimination, including getting misgendered. At the time, before they were out and everyone acted on the belief they were Cis, the argument was that as queer women, they had an "advantage" compared to other queer men, and also Dana Terrace (who is Cis as far as I know) also received this criticism. Most important, they would be shit takes regardless of that
and it's such bullshit, not just because of how unhelpful it is. How it tries to tear down important works and reduce them as a competition. But because of the deeply misogynistic root on it all: that these shows could only get made for "diversity points." That the only reason they got these shows made wasn't because of the blood sweat and tears of queer people working in an industry that is hostile to them. a negation and erasure of their effort.
