bitches be like “queer kids now get to grow up with good healthy queer rep!” despite the fact they’re queer kids too.

Dana worked so hard for this moment..

Disney executives were like "this wouldn't fit the Disney brand", but fuck those executives

The fact that kids are going to grow up watching a healthy queer relationship on a cartoon means the world to me.

I’M SO HAPPY AND PROUD OF THEM

i find it very cool interesting that the girls all ended up with jobs that aren't what was expected of them.

sasha chose not to use her leadership skills to pursue a career, because she knows how her being a leader feeds into her worst qualities, like being controlling and manipulative. no, instead of "bossing her way through life" she chooses to help people. specifically by giving kids the therapy that and help she so desperately needed when she was a kid.

and marcy, who has always been very intelligent, and was expected by everyone to take a very academic career path instead chose to become an artist. she creates a webcomic because she loves fiction. she pursues something she is incredibly passionate about and not what people (i have to assume including her parents) expect of her.

and anne who didn't know what she wanted to do, and who didn't really have any expectations placed on her... well, she was offered a job by god, declined, and then chose to become a herpetologist. seriously though the fact that she pursued science, and specifically biology, is also something unexpected considering how she was barely passing school, and always chose "the easy path". but she found her passion, and a way to keep her memories of amphibia alive, and she followed that path that she chose for herself.

This is big and very important.

oh hell yeah existential crisis at 3 am woo! i thought i was the only one!

I’m for real right now. That feeling when a story ends. Is this how death will feel?

[saltypenguinfest]

finally watched the hardest thing

i think i put off watching it because that would mean accepting that one of my favorite shows ever was ending. but it’s over and that’s okay. change really is the hardest thing, i’m terrified of it, but it happens and that’s okay.

i love amphibia so fucking much, i’ll miss this show.

i really did not expect one of the things ffxiv amphibia and the owl house to all have in common is to make me fear moons

So…so listen. I have a wild last minute theory after the most recent episode of Amphibia “All in”. That cliffhanger with the moon really got me thinking.

Clearly The Core is still moving around and pulling strings/making a last ditch effort to destroy everyone. We saw the helmet scamper off. But that alone implied it still was receiving some sort of signal or something. After all, Darcy did shout “I’ve lost connection” and freaked out at Sasha that she doesn’t know what she’s done. Connection? Connection like a wifi connection? The helmet was still attached to Marcy. And considering the extensive use of computers and technology, heck the sound Darcy made when deleting memories even sounded like a Mac restarting, it wouldn’t be too odd to think maybe Darcy was referring to a signal. After all, even with PC’s that use Ethernet cables to hook directly to the wifi, the wifi is still receiving it’s info from a signal. So if we picture Darcy as the PC and the Helmet and cord being the Ethernet cable and wherever the cable connected to being the wifi…where was the signal coming from? My theory? The moon.

What if. What if this entire gosh darn time. The “core” or “the unnatural thing that doesn’t sleep” WAS the Moon. Remember all those eyes depicted in the mural.

Yes yes I know the beast is a metaphor for the worst versions of themselves. But that only applies to the beast. Not the ever looming and watching eyes in the corner. But what if those eyes are also a sort of metaphor. They give another meaning too, besides it obviously alluding to the numerous eyes on the metallic version of the core and the helmet. It also could be a metaphor to the fact it’s always watching. After all. If you go back and really rewatch Amphibia and it’s key moments. What’s always there? Always there, always WATCHING and present? Awake during the NIGHT?

The

God

Damn

MOON

IT’S LITERALLY EVERYWHERE! Remember those two key shots in the season 2 intro when Marcy and Sasha were depicted in oddly villainous ways? What was right behind them in those moments? THE MOON.

It’s even in the season 2 poster! Right up there next to Andrias!!! As if it were A CHARACTER!

It has been right in front of us the entire time and it has always been watching, always awake during the night, because it basically IS THE NIGHT. And what does the prophecy refer to our three girls as? Stars. Stars come to expel the night. Should they fight or embrace the fall, their choice will determine all. Well guess what? The night is falling. Literally.

okay fine i’ll play fire emblem

In “In All” Sasha is revealed to be attracted to women when shown dressed as canon wlw icon Edelgard von Hresvelg.

i am so gosh dang proud of her <3

Even though I really wanted Anne and/or Sasha to be the ones to break Marcy from the control and the fantasy land, i can’t help but acknowledge how important it was for MARCY to be the one to do it.

Marcy needed to understand that manipulating Sasha and Anne into coming with her was wrong even if she just wanted her best friends to finally listen and make her happy. She seemed sorry in Yunan & Olivia, but she needed more than that.

Marcy and only Marcy in her fantasy world acknowledging this was so important, because it shows that Marcy has grown, that she is sorry. She realized that forcing her wishes on her friends isn’t the right thing, even if it was going to be the first time ever.

Marcy Wu I love you so much
