A massive problem with how fandom - particularly queer rep - is going right now on this website is how quick people are to jump ship onto the next thing and then immediately start trashing the everliving shit out of the old thing.

Steven Universe (not a perfect show by any means) while it was coming out was celebrated constantly. The Garnet reveal? Pearl being in love with Rose? The Rupphire wedding? SU was revolutionary and has been quoted by cartoon creators now for being a big reason people are allowed to bring their stories to life. Say what you want about the show, but it broke boundaries and set precedents for a lot of the shows that you now love. And the show's plot lines regarding the diamonds has been taken in completely bad faith - do yall really think the half Jewish queer person meant for you to get "Let's all forgive Nazis" from the Diamonds redemption arcs??

After Steven Universe ended a large majority of people jumped to She Ra and the Princesses of Power and when they mentioned SU at all it was to put it down as a show with terrible representation and all round bad writing.

During SPOP's run it was massively popular, with a lot of buzz around the main ship, Catradora. I know this is gonna be taken in bad faith so a quick note - while I do like Catradora, I do feel that there should have been another season for Catra to properly acknowledge the harm she did to Adora and actually grow as a person before entering into a relationship. Catra was forgiven too easily, but that was in part due to Netflix not wanting to give the show another season to properly flesh out the redemption arc. The final season was rushed as all hell, and so many story points would have been better with another season to flesh them out further.

But I digress - during the show's run it was constantly talked about for it's representation, having multiple queer characters, including a nonbinary character.

The show ends and again, the fanbase jumps. This time, it's to the Owl House. People start talking about how SPOP was actually horrible representation and, my personal favourite, they "added gay people as a cash grab."

Yeah okay guys, I'm sure a queer nonbinary creator is writing about queer people because they actually dislike the gays and want to wring money out of us. That is definitely the situation here.

And now I'm worried that in a year or two we'll have the next big queer cartoon and the posts will start popping up -

"Amity Blight is the mean lesbian stereotype."

"Raine and Eda's relationship is problematic because-"

"Amity and Luz started out as rivals, which is toxic because-"

"The romance didn't start until later in the show, it was added at the end for a cash grab."

Again, I'm certain there's gonna be bad faith takes on this -- I'm not saying these shows are perfect. They all have flaws somewhere. No media is completely without it's faults and its good to recognise those faults, that what critical reading is. But calling someone an abuser for enjoying SPOP, or a Nazi sympathiser for liking SU (actual accusations I have seen on tumblr.com) is frankly a little ridiculous.

As for the bad rep argument - every show on this list has one thing in common: a queer creator. No one experiences queerness the exact same way - the only thing that harassing queer creators for not showing your experience does is make other queer creators... not want to write queer characters. No one wants to receive death threats because, for example, they based a character with their sexuality off of how that actually affected them and someone on the Internet decided they were feeding into a harmful stereotype.

The way Adora refused to get in between this lesbian argument was fucking hilarious to me. She was like "Ohhhhh noooo I know how this goes I am NOT getting involved."

Season 1 Character Posters

[marylily-my-beloved]

"ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?? CAN WE BE FRIENDS???" but it's Entrapta to the other princesses after they figure out she made robots for the horde... but its Adora to Glimmer after Angella stays in the time loop instead of Adora.... but its Adora to Catra after she leaves the horde (and the thing reversed).... but it's Hordak to Entrapta (yes thats it.).... but its scorpia to perfuma after when she finally get unchipped.... but its spinnerella to nettosa (her wife guys, they're married) after she gets unchipped.....

[waterfire1848]

She Ra Headcanon - Entrapta was the Frosta of the first Princess Alliance (youngest member) and became friends with the members of the alliance. She was so happy to have friends again because she watched all her other friends die in the war.

this is apparently a "leaked" image but I found it in a news article that was itself a repost of a New York Times article. Reddit tells me it was initially leaked by the NYT so like, whoops! I broke it up by character for your convenience here, but I gave up on image-correcting after Light Hope. Messing with the color balance made the text illegible in really annoying ways and frankly, I've got too much other stuff to do.

A fascinating mix of the first and second 'halves' of the show on display here. Glimmer's even got a mix of hairstyles. Why this is just the sort of thing one could put in an art book [🥺 looks at DreamWorks with big wet eyes 🥺]

[hibiscuit-rose]

hmm time for another she ra post

first half of season 4! i love glimmers new hairstyle (and catras boob window hehe)

No One Wants This But Me

Anything but Catradora doesn’t tend to get much attention in our fandom sadly but I’ll keep drawing all the rest. I love them all.
