i like the owl house a good bit but i wish they'd take raine out of nonbinary gay baby jail
#please you have like one nonbinary character of significance
#theyve spent a massive amount of their screentime either under mind control or pretending to be under mind control
#and i want to get to know them better bc they seem very cool
#i am tantalus and raine is the fruit i cannot reach and the water that dodges me when i wanna take a little sippy
#im not mad at the showrunners or anything and i appreciate raine's presence
#theyre clever and charming and A LOVE INTEREST (which i dont think ive ever seen???)
#(between raine and masha the stance seems to be that nb people are desirable and cool and theyre so right for it)
#and i think toh avoids the inhuman enby trope (in that there is human rep...ish... and most of the characters are inhuman)
#idk they get a pass from me at least
#but much like spop's double trouble theyre not really allowed to be themself for an unusually large amount of their screentime
#though at least dt had like. constant 'teehee im so evil' one liners punctuating their girlmoding era
#yeah dt falls into a lotta iffy nb tropes. i also don't blame the spop staff for that
#i dont love making my point via comparison but these are literally the only two animated nb characters i can think of
#bawling punching the earth about lake infinity train not being canonically nb but also being the most significant genderqueer rep for me
#other than like. goromi. theyre tied <3
#anyway my point with this post is not 'i think toh staff shouldve just tried harder or i hate them or whatever'
#but more 'i am sad that our rep is still so limited even as they are pioneering and i wish raine had more screentime bc i like them'
#and also 'if i had a nickel' about the limited agency/performative elements of the 2 nb characters ever
#and also having your only trans characters playing the long con has like. implications a bit
#but yeah
#also im p sure spop had twitter confirmations of other characters being genderqueer but i dont tend to count postcanon much bc like.
#it's not in there lol
#anyway shows i think of as generally v progressive but that still don't escape nb tropes and limitations
#you know what's better than one they/them'd character? two they/them'd characters
#one day we're gonna get characters with multiple sets of pronouns and i can die happy
#dt doesnt count for this bc the characters who know theyre not flutterina use they/them even when they're in flutterina mode.
#twas a bit and nothing more
#anyway belos is yucky disgusting and i hope raine gets exorcised soon
