guys i actually beg of you to not let palestine become an unpleasant flashback, a transient tumblr trend, a hasbeen subject that just faded away. as an arab—and specifically iraqi—girl, i know what it feels like to have family displaced all over the world as a result of western imperialism. i know what it feels like to not be able to step foot into your homeland because it’s no longer safe. as an american iraqi, raised in the us and insulated from my roots, it wasn’t until last summer that i was able to visit iraq for the first time, and even then my family was worried for my safety—in my own blood country. although nothing like what palestinians are experiencing right now, it might be the tiniest semblance of what it feels like to watch your country disintegrate in front of you.

and this is a universal arab experience. i volunteer weekly at a refugee center that serves middle eastern refugees, and every day i see the longing in their eyes when they speak of where they hail from. it’s safe to say that we will be getting a wave of palestinian refugees very soon: just another generation of arabs who can’t inhabit their own country.

arab culture is so rich, so profound, so beautiful. i am tired of being told by the world—through literal genocide—that it doesn’t mean anything. please never let this be forgotten. free palestine. free palestine. free palestine.

❗️❗️❗️

Don't forget to support Palestine, Congo, and Sudan. Either by voicing, donating, marching, protesting, boycotting.

Real ❗️❗️❗️

Some of y'all need to get this through your head.

"The Barbie movie just makes fun of men" ACTUALLY the Barbie movie makes fun of ignorance and sexism. The Barbie movie makes fun of ignorance of the other gender from both genders, like how Barbie was constantly assaulted in multiple ways when she was in the real world. And how Barbie was also ignorant to Ken's feelings. The movie is saying that in order for true gender equality to happen, both sides need to treat each other equally (by both sides I mean people who identify as female/feminine and people who identify as male/masculine). The people who are saying/complaining that the movie just made fun of men are the ones the movie was making fun of.

THIS IS PUT SO WELL???

Luz Noceda 🤝 Miles Morales

            Afro-latine teenagers with pressure on their shoulders to figure out their future, and also save the world. They love their parents and want to make them proud, but also struggle with lying to them, afraid they won’t be accepted for their strangeness. Bright, wonderful kids who meet friends from another world, and whose chosen future is to continue to engage with those other worlds and the family they made there. They’re separated from those worlds and work hard to get there, feeling lonely without the ones who understand.

         They are regarded as anomalies, not fitting in with the world of others like them that they visit. They are born of chance and coincidence, and suffer a villain who is convinced of the connections and parallels they have; I made you, and you made me! But that villain wants to take away one of the families they’ve made. They question if they’re a real witch/Spider-Man with how unlike the others they are, but eventually embrace their unique identity and the unexpected advantages it has.

         They struggle with the narrative, from a meta sense; They know how the story goes, the hero returns home from their adventure, the captain dies. But they hope to defy that ending and make their own, do their own thing. This puts them at odds with an older man who insists things must go a certain way, that there must be a sacrifice of some kind, particularly with their parents; But Luz and Miles ask, why do I have to choose? Why can’t we, and everyone else, have it all? Why not choose the path of compassion, instead of making others lose in order to grow? Their kindness affects those around them, sparing them what they themselves suffered, or are afraid to experience.

         They’re kids caught between two worlds, but they’re also tired of being seen as just weak, ineffectual kids; They can do things too, they can fight and help! And make their own decisions! So when their mentor, a once-jaded person who got their life back together with the kid’s help, suggests sending that teen away for their own good… No, I’m staying here with all of you guys, because I love you, and I don’t have to lose my parents back at my other home either!

         One could argue that these kids, by being involved, created a tragic story, made things worse by sparking the conflict at all, and they doubt themselves for that; Luz helped Philip Wittebane find the Collector, Miles took the place of Peter Parker, leading to his death. But they’re here, so they may as well make the most of it, choose themselves, and forge their own destinies. It’s okay, they can forgive themselves, too. They’re gonna rebel against the status quo to deconstruct it and change things, by asking critically; Why does it have to be this way? Question the rules, as a punk friend tells them.

Amity Blight 🤝 Gwen Stacy

                    On another note; White girlfriends to the above-mentioned with undercuts. Because of their own mistakes, said girlfriends lost a meek, glasses-wearing childhood friend that they saw themselves as a protector for; That friend was tired of the bullying and their anger boiled over into something destructive (and green), wanting to be seen as just as capable. Amity and Gwen struggle with a period of loneliness and isolation because of the loss of that friend, blaming themselves for what happened. They meet Luz and Miles under less than ideal circumstances, but manage to open up because of them.

        Amity and Gwen struggle with approval and acceptance from their father, who works for the system and contributes to enforcing its oppression. But that father realizes he has alienated his daughter, who finds a different family without him, and chooses his child over the system, abandoning it to become a better person. Amity and Gwen both want to be with their loved ones, supporting them, and because of that break ties with the system and another parental figure. They make sure to rally the other friends their loved ones have made, to lift up the protagonist at their lowest points; They’ll answer the call to return the favor in their time of need.

I love how she specifically turned into a shark just to tell them she threw up

your honour their married and thats their child

This is literally Gus and Luz in a different font

Why is everybody on Tumblr funny. Even if you don't post things. If you're on Tumblr, congratulations, you have a good sense of humor. Does "being funny" just come with the app?

(Sort of) redesigned Luz out of pure boredom.

They aren't really "redesigns" but whatever

Season 1 redesign- I liked how her hair was straight when it was short but got curlier as it got longer (cause haha same) but I still gave her a bit of curl and fluff. I gave her longer sleeves and leggings, edited her shirt to look like a hoodie, gave her her mom's skin tone, and added rips, bandages, and dirt on her and her clothes from running around in the BI without much use of her glyphs.

Season 2 B- Gave her some cuts and bruises from getting into more fights in the season. Made her hair curlier and fluffier because her hair was growing out. Edited her clothes a bit and gave her burn marks on her fingers from her fire glyphs.

Thanks To Them- Edited her pants, shoes, and hair a bit, made her scar longer and bigger, healing burn marks, and eyebags cause we do not see girlie sleep the whole episode.

For The Future- Edited her costume a bit, while also giving her a ponytail and a hair strand sticking out to make her look a bit like Phillip.

I liked her Titan design the way it was so I didn't change it

Watching And Dreaming (Time Skip)- Gave her longer pants along with a bisexual patch, made her scar a bit lighter as it was healing, very light burn scars cause she didn't have access to fire glyphs, sharper canines from her Titan design, and the tattoo for her dad we see in one of the concepts for her future design.

That's it. I don't really know why I did this, just cause I guess.

This is actually so important

In all seriousness though---

Korra got a ton---and I mean a TON---of hate, for daring to be a headstrong, non-genderconforming woman of color. So forgive me if I don't react well to "korrasami doesn't deserve it"

Korra already fought through enough misogyny and racism while it was actively airing. She already got enough criticism for not being the "target audience" of 8-12 age males who buy action figures. She already got enough criticism for having flaws as a woman, for not "acting ladylike". She already got enough criticism for not being white or white passing in a show that has ZERO white characters. So when you come at korrasami fans with "they don't deserve it"? Don't be surprised when korrasami fans look at it with a lens of suspicion, because korrasami already fought through the criticism, already fought through being stuck in the "dead slot" air time in nickelodeon (which they were moved to in season three, when the show runners actively started hinting at a wlw ship), already fought through being pulled off air and onto online viewing only, in 2014, for those of you who are a bit young. (Obergefell vs Hodges, the Supreme Court case which legalized gay marriage nationwide in the US, happen on June 26, 2016). "They only held hands in the finale" because that's all they could get away with at the time. They were the FIRST. Bubbeline came later. Rupphire came later. Catradora came later. There are still no notable mlm ships in children's media, so the work ISN'T done. Korrasami fans "screech and yell" at you for not understanding because you accuse them of "queerbaiting" without understanding that they were the FIRST in their time to OPENLY hint at being gay on a a children's television network. In a time, for most intents and purposes in the US, being gay was still ILLEGAL.

And by the way? The Owl House, a recent, animatec children's show on Disney, was recently canceled for not being "the Disney brand". It features a bisexual woman of color (in an EXPLICITLY wlw relationship) as the main character, not unsimilar to Korra. Misogyny is not dead. Homophobia is not dead. Know your history, and know the work isn't done.

I hate Belos but I gotta admit those AU's where he's got a frenemy relationship with Luz and Hunter are kind of interesting

Alex is still so real for this

Happy pride, and happy anniversary to this tweet

I will always find it hilarious and sweet that King got the adoption papers and made plans for Eda to adopt him. Bro really got himself adopted into the family and it worked.

I can't post a picture of my feelings (cause fucking tumblr won't let me) and this is pretty late but

HAISBDKDWNS IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE HARDEST THING A YEAR FODBEOSJZO

I MISS THE PLANTAR FAMILY SO MUCH

Tumblr what the helllll

AHHHHH THOMAS MAKING OWL HOUSE CONTENT THIS IS NOT A DRILL Y'ALL

The Real Magic of Owl House No One’s Addressing 🦉 ( Feat. @fantasticfangirl21 )

Been watching PowerPuff Girls since its now on Netflix and I've seen no one talk about how Ms. Bellum is such a mother towards the girls

Pov: Toh fans who compare Luz's and Hunter's trauma realizing their trauma isn't meant to be compared and that just because Hunter went through more than Luz doesn't mean that her trauma is any less important and also it just isn't cool to compare trauma:

M'kay so I actually really like how Dana didn't confirm whether or not Eda and Raine got married, because she's right: A couple doesn't have to be married to prove their love to each other. It's really nice representation. And props to Raine's va for suggesting that.

They probably don't ngl

M'kay so every toh fan is currently talking about how it's been a year since Hollow Mind and how Hollow Mind was such a fantastic episode because it was and it was so good for so many reasons, but I wanna talk about how it's been a year since Reaching Out which is my favorite episode and I've just gotta ramble.

M'kay so first off, the writing. Oh my god, the writing is brilliant. The way they delivered the important scenes in the episode with such maturity, and the way that they even added jokes into the episode. Not a lot, but that's for obvious reasons. And none of the jokes were about Luz's dad. None of them were about her grief. None of them were about her bottling up her feelings about her dad and his passing, and how she isn't able to spend it with her mom this year which is probably the only way she's been able to cope with his death. It's really hard to make an episode about a mature topic with jokes in it without making the jokes seem inappropriate or somehow joking about the topic, but toh did it. I can't say I'm surprised tbh. Also the way it showed how Luz is dealing with the grief vs. her mom dealing with it. Her mom is sad, but calm. Luz is upset and emotional, and just straight up avoids the topic, which is SO realistic. No super dark and dramatic moments, but moments that rip your heart out nonetheless. Also the way Amity deals with it. She's upset at Luz for lying to her, which is fair, but after hearing about *why* Luz lied, Amity isn't mad anymore. She understands now and helps Luz deal with it the best they could. Amity doesn't even bring it up again, respecting how Luz needed a moment to talk about herself and how Luz already apologized. Also the way we get so much family content between the Clawthornes and the Blights is so nice.

Next off I love how they handled Amity dealing with her dad. Amity didn't forgive him right away. She didn't accept his hug but she did accept him wanting to try again and be a better father (and I love how he does become such a good dad to all of his kids it's so nice they all deserve it.) Alador admits his mistakes, he admits that he needs to do better, and if that isn't beautiful- Also, while he did admit he was in the wrong, Amity did not forgive her father. And tbh, he didn't deserve forgiveness, atleast not right away. Amity and her siblings had been neglected by him their whole lives, and although the main focus was on Amity, I believe the twins also needed time to forgive, and see if he would actually change and be a good dad.

Speaking of the twins, they both had a good amount of growth too. Edric was the main focus out of the two of them, sure, but Emira also had some growth. Both of them discovered other types of magic they were interested in (on their own, might I add) and later on joined those tracks as well. Also they were both such loving siblings this episode, with both of them supporting, protecting, and taking care of their little sister, even tho Amity was annoyed that they were there in the beginning. I love how they have such realistic teenager looks as well, with leg hair and acne and everything. And them also being accepted into the Bad Girl coven as well was the icing on the cake. I swear they went from being annoying older siblings constantly messing and teasing their sister to being her best friends and being super supportive. We love to see it tbh.

And finally, I like how this episode finally addressed why Luz didn't have her dad in her life, which I know for a fact the fandom has been wondering since season 1. But I fr thought that Camilla and Manny just divorced or something, not that Manny straight up died. Another thing I love, even tho it's mentioned in Thanks To Them, is how Manny was the reason Luz got into The Good Witch Azura, which ended up not only leading her into the Boiling Isles, but also letting her officially meet Eda, connecting with Amity and them becoming friends (and eventually girlfriends), and basically shaping her personality. So, in a way, Luz's dad is partially the reason she discovered the Boiling Isles.

One more thing I really like is how we not only got some cute Lumity content, but we also saw them hit a pivotal point in their relationship; their first fight. Obviously, it wasn't fun to see them fight, but the way they handled it was so mature and very nice, honestly. Amity being understandably upset with Luz for lying to her and getting her in trouble with Alador. Instead of blowing up, Amity goes off on her own to cool down. Luz then joins her later and Amity asks Luz why she lied. Not in an angry kind of way, but she was still upset and deserved to know the reason. She was asking in a concerned way, as she knew that Luz was having a rough day and that could've been why she was acting like that. Luz admitting that what she did was wrong, and shouldn't be excused, even though she was dealing with stuff and her mind was all over the place. It's understandable why Luz lied, and she isn't a bad person for lying to Amity, but she still (very unintentionally) hurt Amity. After Amity learned what was going on, like I said earlier, she immediately dropped the subject in respect for Luz. Luz had already apologized anyways, so there was no point to bring it up again. Then Amity tells Luz that she'll do something with her here to honor her dad, so that Luz feels better. Then later, Amity keeps her promise and helps Luz send off some flowers. The way the two of them handled their first fight was so mature, and honestly healthier than some adults I've seen irl. How fictional teenage girlfriends can handle a conflict better than some adults, idk. But anyways.

Gosh this episode was so good. It lives rent free in my head. And the fact that Dana put some of her own life into Luz just made this episode sting just a little bit more. I related to Luz a lot before this episode, but after it, GOD I related to her hard. Anyways, that was just me rambling, thanks for reading this long mess if you did.

My headcannons for the hexside squad design-wise

What I mean by that is what I think the little details adding to their designs are because why not

Luz: Has curlier hair that grows a bit faster than before due to her having long, curly hair when she had her titan form. But she prefers to keep it short. Also her canines are quit sharp now and her eyes glow just a little bit in the dark. And she got that flower tattoo for her dad, as seen in one of the sketches for her future design cause, c'mon, she would so do that.

Gus: As he grew older he began to develop Myopia (condition where you become more nearsighted as you grow, stabilizes in yours 20s) which is why he now wears glasses. He also started growing out his hair to wear dreads as he got inspired by seeing a bunch of humans do it. (Also just another headcannon: He made himself look older in the human realm so he could get a Flapjack tattoo as well, you can see it on his ankle.)

Hunter: The older he gets, the more he looks like Caleb. He also has tried cutting his hair after Belos' death, but it's just always gone back to the same length, so he just decided to keep it that way (same with Raine).

Amity: Likes to dye parts of her hair at a time as she likes how it looks.

Willow: Decided to cut her hair because it always ended up getting in her face whenever she played grudgby, no matter what she did. She also grew taller during puberty, along with gaining more muscle from working out, so she lost some fat as it turned into muscle (and no, this isn't something against her being chubby, this is how bodies work and it looks like that's what happened to her).

Bonus: King: Titans horns can grow with the rest of the horn after being disconnected, as long as it's connected again, kind of like lizards regenerating their limbs (I think this because the missing part of his horn was glued back on and then in the future we see it has grown like the other horn, so I'm just assuming titans are kind of like lizards in that sense.) Also, since titans live for a long time, they grow very slowly, which is why King is still small despite being 12 now.

Remember: There's a good chance none of this is canon, this is just me being goofy and wanting to think about my comfort show after it ended.

The babies look so cute in this oml

Also I cannot believe that this was the official piece of dialog they put into an official storyboard- bro I'm dying over here

Hey, maybe instead of critiquing the finale how about we all appreciate how much love and care was put into it despite Disney beating it into the ground. Istg I'm so sick of seeing people complain about the finale y'all it didn't even come out 24 hours ago and you guys are critiquing it how about you stfu. If it was a normal episode it would make sense but some of you guys just can't stop yourselves. This was the LAST EPISODE guys. Just shut up and appreciate it.

Since WAD is 15 minutes away for me, I just wanna list everything I hope will happen or atleast be implied in the next episode.

•Luz and/or Camilla comforting Hunter about Flapjack's death. Since they have personal experience with losing someone I think it'll be fitting.

•Raeda wedding or atleast getting together. This needs to happen. Please Dana.

•Amity and Luz NOT breaking up because istg they've developed so much together and individually I cannot see that all get thrown in the trash.

•A parallel to this scene

But instead with Luz and Belos because Eda and Lilith are parallels to Caleb and Philip and so are Luz and Hunter and it would be old views on magic vs. new views and it would show just how far Luz has come with her magic and fighting skills and just jsjshdhd I would just appreciate it if it happened.

•Luz finding a way to travel between the human and demon realm PLEASE DANA I BEG OF YOU PLEASE

•Luz learning that she is important and that all of her friends love her.

•All of the mian cast getting therapy. Not just the kids but the adults too. They all need it.

•I need a beautifully animated scene of all of the kids reuniting with their family members or a drawn version by Dana in the credits.

•Hunter and Luz standing up to Belos.

•Lilith and Hunter being shown that they still are traumatized from their time working under Belos and maybe for them to relate to each other about that and fix their relationship.

•And obviously Evelyn and Caleb backstory, tho that for sure is happening like c'mon guys.

•That's it.

Ah, thankyou

Last night I had a dream that Hunter was confirmed to be pansexual. Idk why, that had nothing to do with the rest of my dream. Not that that's a bad thing, obviously, it's just Hunter is most likely bi anyways so idk why my brain conjured that up.

That's it, that's all I have to contribute to the fandom the day before the last episode airs. Truly beautiful.
