watching the pitt with noah wyle as dr robby (the saddest and most anxious ridden man in all of pittsburgh) THEN watching leverage redemption with noah wyle as lawyer harry wilson (former evil lawyer but turned good guy, enthusiastic louisiana weird guy who occasionally wears funny costumes and pulls cons) is giving me serious whiplash

Thinking about Lilo & Stitch makes me really appreciate certain things about the original + the series. Almost every single named [human] character in the movie isn’t white: the only exception being Mertle, y’know, the bratty little girl we’re not supposed to like.

Besides all of the racial representation, Lilo herself is very much a neurodivergent icon, and her portrayal as the protagonist is amazing considering how characters like her are typically either sidelined or depicted in ways to make them less sympathetic/human (modern media does at least a slightly better job at adressing that kind of thing tho).

So all of that is great, but to anyone that hasn’t seen Lilo & Stitch: The Series, it also does some extremely refreshing stuff.

Pleakley gets tons of validation to dress in drag, everyone always referring to Pleakley as “she” when dressed up as “aunt Pleakley.” There’s even an episode that tackles Pleakley dealing with the pressures of his family that wants him to marry a girl and settle down to have a “normal life.” After the episode's shenanigans, there's a realistic depiction of the misunderstanding of a heteronormative/traditional parent with their non-traditional child: Pleakley's mom says that she just wants her children to be happy, but when Pleakley says that he is happy, she thinks he's only trying to console her as she insists, "How can you be happy? You aren't even married." But Pleakley finally gets it through to his mom when he says, "I don't want to be married, mother! I'm happy just as I am."

After getting to meet all of Pleakley's ohana throughout the episode and hearing from Pleakley himself -after all of the previous misunderstandings- that he really, truly, is happy, she's finally starting to understand.

Even though his mom comments as they leave that she wants him to “try wearing men’s clothes more often,” she still does walk away accepting that she simply doesn’t understand her son's way of thinking. It’ll definitely be hard for her since she’s so much more “traditional,” but she’s finally coming to grips with the fact that her son is who he is, and likes being that way, so she’ll love him regardless. She's trying her best.

The portrayal of people with physical disabilities is also great. It’s not because there’s one recurring character with some condition, but almost because there are non-recurring characters. It isn’t in every episode, but here’s an example: they want to show someone at the park playing fetch with their dog for just one shot. They could very easily have it be any a random person, but they decided to make it a lady in a wheelchair. There's another episode where Nani's friends from highschool show up and one has forearm crutches, but not just because she had some recent accident. No one in the episode questions her condition or feels the need to point it out, the only comment on it being that the friend will use the crutches to lightly bonk the others' arms, and Nani jokes, "You are still deadly with that thing."

The fact that they include characters with disabilities when they "don't have to" makes it that much more normal. These people aren't some special case or the main highlight of the episode, they're just another person. They're normal.

There's so much that all of the original Lilo & Stitch media did right, but now the name will forever be tainted with the association of the remake, which I'm sure will have absolutely none of the tasteful writing and ideas of anything prior to it.

Monstrous Things to Say

"I want to bite you."

"I can't wait to sink my fangs into you."

"What would you look like torn into pieces?"

"I want to feel your bones crack."

"You would look so beautiful covered in blood."

"I wish I could bite straight through you."

"I want to taste your blood."

"I want to feel your heart stop beating."

"Let me crush your throat."

"I'll hold you so tight you'll never breathe again."

"Let me feel your pulse still."

"My hands would feel so perfect soaked in your blood."

"I'll never forget what you were wearing."

"Let me sit my nose in your throat as you gasp."

"You would scream so sweetly, wouldn't you?"

"I could take you to pieces."

"Let me help you feel at peace."

"If only I could take your heart out."

"I'll crack your chest, spread it out, let everyone see how beautiful you are."

"You're so perfect inside."

"I wish you could see how wonderful this is."

"Let the blood ooze out, nice and slowly..."

"Whisper my name. Let me say goodbye."

"You'll feel so free when I let you bleed out."

"There's nothing quite as wonderful as death."

"My bones ache to taste yours."

"Every whisper of your skin promises sweetness."

"There's nothing quite like it, you know? Of course not."

"Say goodbye, my love."

"I'm going to be gentle, you know. As I peel each sinew out. I'll make you into an art piece."

Onto Greener Fields

"You shouldn't hold on so tight."

"Why don't you just give up?"

"Hope. It's bullshit."

"There's no reason to keep trying."

"I can't be bothered with it any more."

"I just think I shouldn't do this."

"I don't want to do it. I'm done."

"This isn't worth it. Don't you know that?"

"What's the point in this? In any of this?"

"Once upon a time, I had faith in this."

"Nothing in this world is worth hanging on for."

"I'm not staying here any more."

"I'm going off on my own."

"I don't want your help."

"You know, we could go together."

"They don't really care about you."

"If we go together, we'll be stronger."

"I'm giving up on this."

"I'm going to forge my own path."

"You know, I'll be lonely by myself."

"I'm going. Whatever happens to me, at least it'll be my choice."

"This is something new. And that's good."

"I don't want to live in this fog forever."

"There's something else out there, for me."

"There could be something out there for you, you know."

"Let's go. Let's go and see whatever is out there."

"I want this world to change."

"I can't be in this place forever."

"You. Me. Free."

"Take my hand. Trust me. Let's go. Let's leave it all behind."
