elena cañero-reed. if you care.

[theartsyhognose]

E for the alphabet challenge is fellow Florida girl Elena Cañero-Reed from Diary of a Future President!

I love this show sm it’s such a comfort show for me so happy to gift this offering to the fans

[freshlybakedfandoms]

what i would have wanted from doafp s3:

cartero confessions on the tennis court at night

no but seriously picture like cj breaks up with bobby so liam starts taking him to the tennis court to help (just the two of them bc he knows how it feels bc of jada [sure liam. that's why]). and eventually a couple months later theyre having a heated argument bc liam never liked cj and such and liam accidentally lets it slip that he likes bobby

elena as valedictorian!! i know she would be valedictorian

elena and emilio as co grade representatives & her learning how to lead the school and how to work together in creating a vision. i think it'd be cool if the two of them had to organize some event and it was a big deal

more about the futures of the characters!! what happens to elena jessi sasha and melissa!! does melissa work in software engineering?? i think she does

cami and danielle wedding omg can you imagine and elena would be their wedding planner

i also think that they could've wrapped it up nicely at the end of s3 and explained how elena found her 'raisin' by being orange bay's grade rep bc she liked leading and making a difference in her community and that translated to (eventually) the country

I dont think i have ever been in a fandom more dead than diary of a future president.

I cannot share my brainrot with anybody. Its me and the other 3 people left.

Yes i did just become a fan, what about it

Anyways this is me begging anyone thats left in the fandom for some new fics

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

[notdezmond]

Just remembered the episode where Elena learns to accept her facial hair and honestly that really resonates with me as a poc cause it took me a long time to accept that I didn’t have to remove my body/facial hair to be beautiful.

Does anyone know somewhere I can pirate disry of a future president? since it got taken off Disney + I can’t rewatch it because it was exclusive to there

[ryanatwoodenthusiast]

watch diary of a future president !!

everyone, please, please, PLEASE watch diary of a future president on disney+ - it will be removed in a week but the list of shows/movies being removed, is still being finalized, according to deadline

everyone who sees this, please reblog, even if you won't/can't watch it yourself, i just want the show to remain available, so people (including myself of course) can still watch it in years to come

they've already decided to keep howard after saying it would be removed, so maybe, if enough people watch it, it will stay on the streaming service

if you're looking for reasons to watch:

the show centers on a family (a mother, her two children and her boyfriend)

the family is cuban-american (apart from the mother' boyfriend, who is american)

the mc is 12-year-old elena cañero-reed, who, as we learn in the first scene and hear in the title of the show, grows up to be president one day

the show is (partly) narrated by her, as these are the things she wrote in her diary when she was 12

each episode has a plot for elena, for her 14-year-old brother and for their mother (and her boyfriend), so it can appeal to all age groups

there is a lot of lgbtq+ presentation, both in side/background characters and one of the mcs has a storyline revolving around their sexuality (and, don't worry, their storyline is happy most of the time)

the show talks about themes of friendship, finding your identity, puberty, loss of a loved one (as elena and bobby's father died a few years ago) and more

if someone wants to watch it with their children (does anyone on tumblr have children? lmao) don't worry, the show has a positive message

the cast is very diverse

i hope some people watch it, and i'm going to put A LOT of tags, so this post reaches as many people as possible (i only have 6 followers, so i don't know if that would work otherwise)

@xhavibee (sorry for tagging you but you post a lot about doafp and i know you have a lot of followers, so if you reblog this, we could reach even more people)

everyone who sees this, please reblog, even if you won't/can't watch it yourself, i just want the show to remain available, so people (including myself of course) can still watch it in years to come

if you've read up until here, ily <3

Since Disney is removing Diary of a Future President from D+ I encourage you to go check it out real fast before it gets deleted (since I don't know if there's any yohoho of it).

While I love the lead Elena and her life as a middle schooler that we know grows up to be president, it's her Brother and the shows handling of queer topics that really stole the show for me personally.

Bobby Cañero Reed slowly realizes he likes boys, gets his first crush, comes out to his sister and family, and finally gets a bf for the first time and has his first kiss over the course of two seasons and it's so adorable. One of the cutest and most endearing and realistic gay stories I've seen in highschoolers.

Unlike a lot of shows that are aimed at teen and up audiences, this was technically aimed at a younger audience so we got to see more of the cute side of young gay awakening. Bobby practicing how he'd talk to his crush in the mirror, Bobby getting flustered when he chickens out during his first attempts at coming out, Bobby's friends planning elaborate date ideas to try to get the boy he likes to say yes, Bobby facing his fears of public speaking to give a speech about why labeling others is bad, Bobby freaking out because he's basically the king for a dance and has to pick a female date and doesn't want to, Bobby meeting a gay hairdresser that gives him confidence, Bobby being doted on by his moms bestie and her girlfriend who refer to themselves as his fairy gay mothers.

It's all just so wholesome and relatable and the kind of gay story we don't often see as so many are focused on either the high drama and rejection and bigotry, the hypersexualised portrayals, or other more adult themes. And there's nothing wrong with that obviously, there's a place for all those experiences to resonate with anyone, but Bobby's story was just so fun and sweet and made me want to adopt him. I wish I could have had that kind of experience as a young gay kid. But since I can't, living vicariously through him and being happy kids now hopefully have it better, as long as we keep fighting against the forces of hatred trying to push us back into the closet and out of public life, we can protect the future for other queer kids just discovering themselves and the pure joy of being queer.

Cooking By The Book

So, as it turns out, Bobby and Elena actually can't cook. But at least now Bobby gets to hang out with Liam, right?

DIARY OF A FUTURE PRESIDENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT EVERYBODY STAND UP

[multimetaverse]

thoughts on the doafp season 2 trailer?

It looks like S2 will be great. I was impressed by how little evidence of covid restrictions there were; that will definitely help the series age well. I thought it was likely that Sam would move in and I’m excited to see how that plays out. The mother-daughter growing apart angst is going to be brutal to watch but there's a lot the writers can do with it. Interesting that they’re focusing so much on Melissa’s redemption right off the bat and that they’re also introducing a school play story line. I’m withholding judgement on the use of Gina Rodriguez as Elena’s conscience but it does make sense to increase her role since she’s by far the most famous cast member.

I was very pleasantly surprised that the trailer focused so much on Bobby’s story line. The biggest shock was that they included a brief shot of Bobby and CJ smiling at each other in the high school hallway. I’ve thought that CJ is a likely choice to be Bobby’s real love interest ever since it became clear last fall that Donovin Miller had joined the cast. He’s the right age, non-white, and only shows up in 2x06 which is very late but makes sense if CJ and his role in Bobby’s story line is subject to Disney restrictions that straight characters don’t have to worry about. It’s interesting that CJ is featured in the part of the trailer where Elena talks about being there for others and lifting them up, it strongly suggests that CJ will be a positive influence on Bobby. A lot of the Bobby clips look pretty angsty and with CJ only first appearing in 2x06 I’ve speculated that there could be a shift in Bobby’s story line then or an old one wraps up and CJ helps launch a new one. 

That scene of Bobby walking at night with Liam is almost certainly Bobby coming out to Liam in 2x10, a scene which Brandon has been hyping up for a while. Nathan was also on set that night but perhaps he leaves earlier or joins later. There’s also the possibility that Bobby comes out to Danny earlier but it’s hard to tell which ep that could be since Danny is in every ep except 2x09 this season. Of course, it could also be a misdirect and Bobby decides he’s not ready to tell him yet. I’m shocked that Danny somehow found out that Bobby had a crush, on what he thinks was a girl, back in 7th grade. I can’t wait to see how that comes up, did Bobby let something slip or were they talking about Monyca? Also I think that Bobby on the blue couch is him talking to Cami about struggling to come out which I’m sure will be well done. I’d love to see Cami coming out to her own parents but I really don’t know if Disney will allow that when it looks like the writers already have quite a bit packed in to Bobby’s coming out arc. 

We’ll also go a long way to finding out whether Brandon has been hyping Cartero because he has been explicitly told that Liam is meant to be bisexual regardless of whether Disney ever allows it or whether he’s been projecting his own bisexuality onto Liam without any basis in reality. That being said, I don’t think we’ll actually get canon Cobby or Cartero this season and any canon relationship for Bobby would only come in the 3rd season if they’re lucky enough to get one. Back in the fall Ilana liked a tweet that said writers should normalize interracial relationships that don’t involve a white person and I think she’s applying that to Bobby’s story line and that we can rule out his love interest being white. It’s a bold move for a Disney show since even most of their straight interracial relationships involve one white person. Not to mention Disney has a poor track record of how they treat their black male characters, something Doafp seems determined to improve on. 

There’s also the unfortunate fact that there will be limits on what Disney allows but I’m confident that the show will make history with Bobby coming out to his family and friends by season’s end. There will be a price to pay for all this lgbtq rep and I think the show being released all at once which will likely doom any hopes of S3 is part of that. Disney did something similar with The Owl House which is the only Disney show to surpass Doafp’s level of lgbtq rep, the show was cancelled and the 3rd season will consist of only three 44 minutes eps (if you haven’t watched The Owl House yet you should, it’s a hoot). 

The trailer seems to confirm what was evident from the cast’s social media posts while filming, that Ziggy only has a very small role and is largely absent. Presumably he goes to another high school but it’s gonna be hard to reintegrate him back into the show if they get a S3 and he’s the only one who wasn’t around for Bobby’s coming out arc. We saw Tony Espinoza’s character on stage with Elena during the student rep speeches so he’s connected to that story in some fashion. Brogan Hall’s character Tripp is absent from the trailer but we know he’s in 5 eps, most in the first 6 eps of the season and he seems to be Elena’s main opponent in the student rep race. Also not much of Jessica and nothing of Joey. 

I’m curious to see how all these story lines fit into only 10 eps especially when so many of the recurring characters are in so many of the eps: Liam and Sasha are both in all 10 eps, Danny in 9, even Melissa is in 7 eps this season. Some story lines and characters will probably fall through the cracks. We know Ilana directed 2x09 so we’ll see if that’s a special ep. Fwiw Charlie on twitter said that his favourite eps were 2x03, 2x05, 2x07, and 2x09, presumably some of those eps focus on Bobby coming out to Cami and his family at least. 

I really hope that we get a miracle and Doafp gets a 3rd season but with the news that the Doogie Howser reboot is getting the standard weekly release starting in September it makes it more and more likely that Disney is airing all the eps at once just to burn them off. On the plus side the trailer on the official Disney twitter account has over 811 000 views as of me writing this so perhaps a proper advertising campaign could draw a larger audience if Disney is willing to put the effort in.

i'm so glad elena thought it through and was able to come to an epiphany about the diy bracelets, but i can't get over that she was just spaced out in the ballpit while her friends were slaving away trying to make friendship bracelets at record speed for her campaign asdfgjhfkjdsg
