[A photo of the Unite Battle Committee. Most members have holiday jumpers with ugly designs or stupid jokes. Erbie is dressed as a delibird with his elekid poking out of his "tail". Professor Phorus has a pair of fake Stantler antlers with lights built in. Aster is trying to hide in the background. Another committee member is wearing their hat. Aster's green hair is prominent, slightly more than their scowl.]

You know, since it's Pride Month (and also I miss them), I feel like reminding everyone how fucking important Ruby and Sapphire were.

The way they were both unambiguously conceived as queer characters and let the writers make an established character queer retroactively. The fact that as soon as they share the screen, they immediately show how in love they are, without any ambiguity to please the censors, and they do that almost every episode they're in.

How their relationship isn't always 100% perfect, and they do conflict and fall out, but make up in the end because they genuinely love each other. How they were allowed to be iconic parts of the show, not just through being the focus of two of its most famous songs (Stronger Than You and Here Comes A Thought) but also through the book version of The Answer.

The fact they got the first gay kiss...

...and the first gay wedding in the history of kid's TV.

The way their reception showed networks that yes, people do enjoy media with queer characters, and so they contributed to many other series with prominent LGBTQ characters getting greenlit.

I honestly don't think it's exaggerating to say they're among the most important queer characters in the history of fiction for all that. And people need to say it more, and demand stuff like them more.

Beings and entities, @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are has once again approached me with an amazing concept, so we present to you... a fusion, Steven Universe style! we're calling him Charwin because we can't be creative all the time.

AND there's lore. It's us, of course there's lore.

I tried to include it in the comics themselves, but basically, there was a case of dissappearing ghosts. Just like Esther, the people behind this were trying to use the pure energy to their advantage. These rocks are supposed to amplify the energy, but it kept resulting on the ghosts dissipating. The boys were captured and experimented on (yes that's horrifying. Not pictured here because... the reverse verse is angsty enough, so I wanted this one to be a bit more fluffy), but since they both went through Hell, they're stronger than your average ghost, and the rocks stayed on! The fusion was an unexpected side effect.

Plus he can make a weapon appear! it is just an oil lamp though.

Oh dang! I wanted a puppy.

(Growl!)

Oh well. Guess I have to settle on a girlfriend. (Possibly ignorant of what that means for most people, thinking she is saying she has a friend who is a girl.)

a family can be you, your eldritch girlfriend, and the dog your eldritch girlfriend zapped into existence!

the Doctor has always been a terrible person but it’s really funny how 15 is pretty much the same But Worse since he believes himself to be Healed. i don’t know if it’s intentional or just bad writing but i’ve seen somebody describe him as “a narcissist who learned therapy speak and now congratulates themselves on unlearning bad behaviour” and it’s EXACTLY how he acts

0 self reflection 0 questioning whether he may be in the wrong at all, ever, just deflect and mete out justice. torture a man and say you were triggered. trap a woman on your TARDIS and stockholm syndrome her into “having fun adventures”. all that stuff he used to do before Healing, dialed up to 11 15, this time with 15x more “babes” and “yasss” and 15x less self-awareness

previous incarnations used to be the snappy left-brain narcissist, the pretentious intellectual, better than everyone else because he’s smarter, trying to be as kind as he can but fully aware that he’s not nice. performing cleverness for the audience. charm, sure, but a different kind. 15 performs charisma. he hasn’t got a trace of autism left, he oozes self-assured BELONGING in any situation, the actor, the drag queen, all eyes on her. flamboyant. perfect in every way — even his weirdness no longer sticks out like a sore thumb, you’d never catch him saying things like “sorry about the deaths of your family member slash pet” or scooping jam from a jar with his fingers in a stranger’s kitchen. he’s *got it together*. or, well, that’s the impression he learned how to cast

the reckoning is going to be so painful. you show up out of nowhere, scare a neglected child with talks of fate and luck, and cause him him to grow up believing he is destined to unmask you and bring you down … your uneasy allies lock him in prison, you prophesy doom… what do you think is going to happen, silly man?

obviously i love akutagawa with all my heart but i hate when people act like atsushi was horrible for saying 'this is why dazai didnt choose you' to him like yeah it was mean but also akutagawa did kidnap and try to kill him several times. I'm pretty sure atsushi's anger is justified i dont think he's in the wrong for being a little mean there
