Anytime I see those “God that rep from two years ago was so bad” posts, I think about Gravity Falls.

I think about the fact that Alex Hirsch wanted the cupid character (who appeared in ONE episode) to have the MLM/WLW symbols on his necklace, but Disney shot it down because it was seen as inappropriate for a kid’s show.

I think about the sheriff characters, who’s “relationship” was used as a running gag to laugh at. Who’s kiss in the last scene at the end of the series damn near made people go INSANE. These were two characters who were no one’s favorites and who served as comedy relief, but it was still seen as a huge win for rep because it happened at all.

I think about the fact that Gravity Falls, a show where dead animals speak in tongues as blood drips from their eyes, couldn’t have anywhere near the amount of rep that the creators wanted to add because it “wasn’t for kids”

And now we have men getting married to their husbands and women getting married to their wives on screen. We have boys with boyfriends and girls with girlfriends and characters that are purposely gnc or androgynous. We have characters with pride pins or flags in their rooms. We have cartoons like Blues Clues that have been around for AGES making entire videos dedicated to pride for kids.

Just… things get better. Representation gets better because people fight to make it happen. We can’t act like they were “basically nothing” because without them we would HAVE nothing.

He was supposed to be an angel, but they took him from that light and turned him into something hungry, something that forgets what his hands are for when they aren’t shaking. When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it.

two things on

MOB PSYCHO 100

the characters have depth. the way they act isn't just presented as it is, no, you'll get multiple episodes/chapters giving you hints on why they became that way

season 2 of mob psycho 100 completely focused on how mob's moral compass was shaped, among other things

if you just watch a studio ghibli film and bask in the nostalgia and wonder then maybe you'll calm down
