chadwickboseman It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. 

Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV. 

⁣A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. ⁣⁣

It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther. ⁣He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side. ⁣

The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time. ⁣⁣

Infinity Train really said “you are at fault for all the wrongs you put in the world and how you hurt others” and “other people’s bad actions aren’t your responsibility”, without ever contradicting itself.

The First Cartoon LGBT Representation That No One Talks About

With many people talking about the 2010s cartoons being progressive by  representing LGBT such as 

LGBT weddings 

Main characters confirming their gay/lesbian/bi 

and side characters being gay

But as someone who was born in 2000s in Canada, there’s one cartoon LGBT representation that I barely hear anyone talk about and that is Jean from 6teen.

 She first appeared on the 89th episode of the show where Nikki befriends her and was curios if she’s lesbian or not.  Unlike most shows where they have to hints that they are gay and show it by the end, 6teen just spill the beans by having her say “Yes, I’m into girls”. 

And then they show her going to prom with a girl 

This is probably the first cartoon show that represent LGBT in the most chillest way by telling that she’s into girls. No hints, no waiting till the end of the series or anything, just flat out saying she’s a lesbian. 

This was inspired by two things: 

1- I’m a bisexual woman dating a cis straight man. That doesn’t make me straight, and that doesn’t make my relationship a straight one. That doesn’t mean I belong less in the LGBT+ community than a gay person. 

2- The fourth example was not a joke. I’m in a fandom where two genderless entities with a temporary human shape are paired together. I’ve seen artists get hate because they drew them “looking straight”. The characters are still non-binary, still in love, STILL NOT STRAIGHT. Do not allow this toxic rhetoric in your fandom. Protect artists. 

**Note– Forgot I meant to add aro and ace in there, sorry, but this TOTALLY INCLUDES ARO AND ACE PEOPLE.

THERE IS NO HIERARCHY OF WHAT IS MORE ACCEPTABLE IN THE LGBT+ COMMUNITY. 

look i know we all love to make fun of amity for being a flustered idiot around luz but after sitting on wilw for a while i just want to take a moment to appreciate that those scenes simply exist in the first place. for the longest time, all of the representation for wlw relationships in media was either oversexualized, full of conflict and melodrama, or forced to remain non-explicit and hidden in subtext until the show’s finale. now, we have a 14-year-old girl, explicitly confirmed to have a crush on her friend, another girl, in season one, and she acts just the way you’d expect any other 14-year-old to act around their crush: like a flustered idiot. amity and luz are just two dumb kids who both happen to be girls that are able to navigate their feelings and develop their relationship in a relatively natural and healthy environment and i am so happy for the kids that will now be able to grow up seeing this normalized in a tv show that they love.

shoutout to amity blight for literally breaking her ankle and then immediately sitting on it out of gay panic

So, apparently Grom only had like .34 million live viewers, which is one of the lowest episodes in the series. Guys,

(Please) WATCH THE FUCKING EPISODES LIVE

THE MOUSE PAYS ATTENTION TO THE VIEWS. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO GET IT TO TREND. WE NEED TO WATCH. IT. LIVE.

these are the best cartoons of the decade in this essay I will

Luz may not know that Amity likes her, but she does know that she likes someone. And she seems curious about it, invested even, which makes sense given her love of romance novels. I can't imagine that this will go away any time soon.

I'm thinking that in the future, Luz might try to push Amity to confess to her crush, and assure her that they'd be lucky to have her, and Amity will be like "Is... is my crush shipping me with... herself??? Without realising it? IDK what to feel right now...".

I think it's really cool that in Disney's new show the protagonist is a dark-skinned pre-teen bi Latina who spends summer at hell, learns to be a witch, and then makes the school's most heralded and prestigious student fall in love with her through sheer tomfoolery

wlw culture is being so starved for rep that creators like noelle stevenson and dana terrace can essentially TELL US characters will end up together and we still dont believe them cause its too good to be true

do people on tumblr like. realize that friendships arent therapy

why is being alive so expensive. i’m not even having a good time

trans people should not have to sacrifice their comfort to appeal to cis people

OH OKAY SO SHE JUST STRAIGHT UP SAID IT HUH

when i say i cried-

rights received

throughout watching season 5 i was bracing myself completely for the queerbait. i was so used to it at this point that even though all of the signs have been there since the beginning, i refused to believe they’d actually take the show in that direction.

until the line “adora doesn’t want me. not like i want her.”

when i first heard catra say it, i was so overcome with emotion because that was the moment i knew they were going to do it. it was finally crossing the line of their love being implied vs it being canon in the story & it was honestly incredible to feel that for the first time.

Catra joining the best friend squad and realizing that they’re total idiots that have no idea what they’re doing has the same energy as zuko joining the gaang and wondering how the hell he didn’t catch them

what's dekubowl

something kinda like this 

I AM SCREAMING TODOROKI NOOOO

I know we are getting more and more LGBTQ rep in animation but more shows need to be as blunt and ballsy as Kipo and the Hollow 

humans really fuckin love squares huh

“How arw you paying for photoshop” im not LMAO

at this point tumblr is just for talking to yourself

😭
