I have realized that the perfect form of media must have a delicate balance between absolutely heart wrenching pure emotional devastation and the most ridiculous nonsense you have ever seen in your whole life

[someonetooksendnoodles]

i’m such a whore for jaw-dropping, heavily stylized, thematically laden, full of heart animation. will forever be impressed at the stories that are coming from non-disney studios having their moment to shine.

It’s a trope I will NEVER get tired of.

[starry-eyed-psychopomp]

Remember when Steven Universe almost ended over Ruby and Sapphire’s wedding, but when the network understood how popular it was they continued the series for a movie and a spin-off?

And then She-ra was able to capitalize off of that success and get approved to have Adora and Catra kiss and end up together at the end of the series?

And then The Owl House was able to capitalize off of that success and was allowed to have Luz and Amity be canon love interests from season one?

And in the meantime there was show after show featuring queer main and side characters to rave reviews and success?

And we all thought, this is it. The domino effect is working. We’re making progress. And animation was the industry with the most and some of the best queer representation in all of visual media and it was only growing?

And then The Owl House got canceled with nothing to replace it. And Kipo and OK KO and Dead End and every other queer-inclusive show that had popped up in the meantime all ended quickly or were canceled with nothing new to fill their holes.

And now we have nothing left. And the trend that had been escalating for the past 10 years to create a golden age of queer animation has seemingly been shot dead with nothing to show for it.

Remember that?

I needed a hero, if I only knew that the hero was me.

Kipo fanart because it's been a long time and i miss the show!!

[ID: a digital drawing that features Kipo (Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts) in both her human and mega jaguar forms, floating in the canvas. The mega jaguar is turning her head to look at human Kipo, her glaze is wild; Kipo is very small and faces the jaguar, her face is barely visible. The background has lilac, magenta and pink tones, with cyan, yellow and magenta lines circling both of them. End ID.]

the owl house 🤝 kipo and the age of wonderbeasts: not falling into the "being a tomboy is a phase all girls grow out of, so this girl is super feminine after a timeskip" trope, and instead making their main gals MORE butch after a timeskip

Best genre of character is “they’re not tired of being nice, but they deserve to go apeshit”

You’ll never guess which two hyperfixations are back.

[the-irreverend]

You know how you know when an animated film/show is really really good?

When it's smart enough to not redeem a character that's completely beyond redemption (and actually face consequences for their actions).

<< to all the monster girls >>

[ID: A drawing of Nimona from the Nimona movie and graphic novel, standing next to an older Kipo from Kipo and The Age of Wonderbeasts. They first bump each other, both with arms that are transformed into another animal’s arm. Kipo’s hand is a large purple jaguar paw, and Nimona’s arm is green and spikey. They both smile. The background is a solid grey color. /End ID]

Occasionally I will go Oh you know what I can rewatch one of my favourite shows while eating! I see no issues with this plan at all :) and then I always end up crying into my pasta
