#wemissandimack is trending on twitter. Whoâs âweâ? Tyrus stans who canât draw, write, or create any of their own content for their ship, so they need more shitty TJ and Cyrus scenes to grasp on to? Terriâs doing the Lizzie Mguire reboot. Sofiaâs new show already got another season. Asherâs touring. Itâs not gonna become the goddamn tyrus show just because their stans want it to.
So, you know how in the first Zombies Addison tried to speak Zombie and failed and in the new tried to speak werewolf and failed. What if, if we get a third one, she meets a different type of people that are her own and speaks their language perfectly.
no offense but "making progress, that sounds great, but what's the price we have to pay?" and "the more i cover up my flaws the more they appear" and "now look up, and tell me what you really see: a bunch of stray wolves or a family" and "no more hesitation, it's time we start to realize, with all this separation silence is still taking sides. so use your voice, make a choice, and tell me, are you standing with the crowd?" are some real lyrics i CANNOT comprehend the fact that they're from a disney channel original movie
!!! With Cy I immediately wondered if they were trying to queet code him, but it took time with TJ
Kinda both sides of the spectrum
This may be a bit controversial, but here we go:
High School Musical the Series has/will canonically have two gay moms and two gay teenagers (played by real teenagers) who are going to date (most likely).
But....
Itâs not Tyrus.
The two gay moms can go rock on and be amazing because there needs to be more gay parents in media so theyâre not going to be included in this that much.
But this is about Seblos and Tyrus.
Iâm glad that thereâs going to be a gay teen couple in a Disney show aimed at a younger audience. Scratch that, Iâm excited as hell! But one thing isnât hitting me right, and thatâs that the two boys seem to be leaning towards stereotypes.
Thereâs nothing wrong will falling under a stereotype, let me get that clear! People should be authentic to themselves, but Seb and Carlos are falling into stereotypes right now, both into musical theater and Carlos having a bit of âflamboyanceâ and Seb being cast in a female role, itâs not bad in it of itself, but it can be so easy to fall into the stereotypes that make straight people automatically assume that all gay boys are effeminate and act in certain ways.
Thatâs why I loved Tyrus so much. Cyrus did check a few stereotype boxes, but he was such a well rounded character and had a journey that didnât solely focus on his sexuality, it focused on his growth and friendship. But T.J....T.J. was played so straight (pun intended) that Disney even tried using edits to make him look straight (see the look back controversy). He was this athlete (with layers-another pun intended) who the only hint that he was gay was the way he looked at Cyrus. Props to Luke and Josh for playing their interactions so perfectly!
I think Tyrus, especially T.J., was important because it broke down the stereotypes, almost like it was telling people âgaydar? What gaydar? Hereâs a gay teen who is nothing what you expect a gay teen to look and act like!â I was hoping for that in HSMTMTS, and right now, I donât see it. I hope Iâm proven wrong and these characters do get fleshed out and other producers see how wonderful these representations are and create more characters like that.
Tyrus is about two middle school boys who help build each other up and go through self-discovery about their sexuality and what it all means and finding the courage to express their feelings for each other at a young age
Seblos is about two high school boys who have a love for the theatre and one of them finds the courage to ask the other boy out to a dance and they happily dance the night away
guys Iâm literally crying...I canât imagine being 12 years old, and seeing a couple like seblos on screen. itâs not made as a joke. itâs not a âvery special episode.â itâs not in the background. itâs not subtle. these are two teenage boys who get to share a sweet relationship in the beginning of a series, not the last second. these are two teenage boys who are seen as equals to the other characters, and who arenât repressed bullies or the butt of every joke. these boys have friends like ashlyn who donât make a big deal out of these things. these boys are seen as socially acceptable, and not a rare and psa type occurrence. I am beyond thrilled that the children of today have couples like seblos on screen, and see friends like ashlyn supporting them as a healthy ally and not someone in search of a gay best friend. kids today are going to start seeing that their existence as real, serious, common, precious, and normal. and I am thrilled.
It happened so long ago but every day it feela I wake up to it. I still can't believe it isn't a dream.
May your memory be a blessing.
I just wanted to take a moment, to talk about Cameron Boyce. I think alot of you guys know him or have at least heard of him by now.
Cameron was an actor that rose to fame on the Disney channel show "Jessie " and was also one of the main characters in the successful descendents franchise, he has numerous other acting credits and accolades to his name
But I'm not here to talk about his career or about what a great actor he was, he was clearly talented, being a natural actor and a phenomenal dancer as well. But I want to take this chance right now, while I have your attention to tell you about his legacy. I want to tell you about how much more cameron was than just another Disney channel actor.
Cameron Mica Boyce, used his influence and position as a celebrity to bring attention to many organizations and movements he believed in, he helped raise over $27,000 for the Thirst Project, which helps bring clean water to underdeveloped countries.
Not only that supported United Way of America's initiative to end homelessness. He helped raise money for the HomeWalk in 2015, and continued to do so up until the end of his life.
Cameron worked with It's On Us, a social movement created to raise awareness and fight against sexual assault on college campuses for both men and women.
And one of the last things he did before his death was participating in Wielding Peace, a social media campaign in conjunction with Delaney Tarr, co-founder of March for Our Lives. In Boyce's own words, the campaign would "help fight against gun violence by showing celebrities and survivors 'wielding' a new kind of weapon â one of unity."
Cameron was not just a Disney actor, he was more than a celebrity. He was a bright light passionate to use his platform to make a difference in the world. Something he still continues to do so, even today
