Something I Don’t Think Enough People Recognize When It Comes To Making Shows More Diverse, There Is

Something I don’t think enough people recognize when it comes to making shows more diverse, there is so much going on behind the scene that you literally can’t “just add them.”

Alex Hirsch had to wait until the end of Gravity Falls to show that Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland were in love so that way the show didn’t get prematurely cancelled. And even still, that was censored in other countries.

________

The Owl House has a bisexual afro Latina protagonist that falls in love with a white lesbian. They kiss several times on screen and say “my awesome girlfriend.” It also has Disney’s first nonbinary character (Raine Whispers), their bisexual love interest (Eda Clawthorne), and an aro/ace woman (Lilith Clawthorne). However, because like five people said that TOH wasn’t the “Disney brand” the show is prematurely cancelled. So even with everything that TOH did, it only won battle but lost the war.

________

The art crew for Encanto had to fight to make Luisa buff. And when they were finally able to make her buff, Disney didn’t make as much Luisa merchandise because they thought little girls would want Mirabel or Isabela’s since they’re more “feminine.” (I think the same thing happened with Namaari when RATLD came out but I’m not sure. So don’t quote me on that.)

*Also, Luisa out sold Mirabel and Isabela. So that’s a win.

________

Bubblegum and Marceline couldn’t kiss until the series finale of Adventure Time because it would’ve been cancelled. So throughout the entire series, the crew always just had to imply undertones about their past. Since HBO produced Obsidian, they were able to kiss on screen.

________

Korra and Asami’s relationship had to tempt down so that way Nick could continue airing the show and they weren’t allowed to kiss until the comics.

________

Turning Red got so much unwarranted criticism because not only did Mei’s mom say “pads” but she showed them on screen. (I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if that made you uncomfortable, that’s a sign that we need to do this more and not less.)

________

Some countries marked She Ra as 18+ because Catra and Adora kissed on screen. (Once again, I’m not sure if this completely true but ND Stevenson had to fight to actually show them kissing on screen instead of a fade to white.)

________

Steven Universe is the gayest show I’ve ever seen in my life which was both good and bad. It was good for obvious reasons. Example being that it was the first show that introduced to me nonbinary people in a way that wasn’t “haha, look, she uses they/them pronouns. She’s so funny and quirky.”

And it’s bad because it put a target on it’s back. SU has been censored so much that it’s honestly a miracle that we got an ending. And in most of the countries that censored SU, they usually portray Ruby as a man. So I can’t imagine how bad the censors were when the wedding happened and Ruby wore a dress and Sapphire wore a suit.

________

Also, you have to remember the outdated idea that gay/trans topics are “too mature” for kids to handle (there’s an episode of Adam Ruins Everything that talks about this). So it’s easier for shows with an older audience (like Arcane) to have queer/trans rep.

Not to mention, if you ever go on Insider’s website to look at the queer/trans characters in cartoons [here], most of the characters are revealed to be queer only online and not in the actual show.

________

All of this BS because God forbid that kids find out that other people exist.

Representation is important but please, just be aware of the actually struggles that go on that you don’t see and be thankful that this is where we are now because even though it might seem like it at times remember that this is actual progress. We need to keep pushing studios to do more. I’m sure that there’s millions of untold stories that would be made if not for this prejudice.

Sherlcok Holmes fluff alphabet

AN:Hello guys!!! As you can see I am still alive I was just busy with school and studying lately so I didn’t have time to write. I hope I will finish all requests I have this short winter break. As always this is gender neutral so everyone can read this. Requests are OPEN. If you notice grammar mistake please tell me so I can correct. That’s all! Enjoy!

A - Attractive (what they find attractive)

Sherlock isn’t type of man who cares about your physical appearance or something like that. However he will find very attractive your mind, the way you think and understand things. He doesn’t have time for people who are led by their emotions, money or even something else; he searches for the beauty of the mind which is very hard to find.

B - Baby (do they want a family?)

Sherlock isn’t sure if he wants family or not. If he finds the right person with whom he can make his own family then sure but only if that person wants same. If you don’t want kids then it’s not that big problem for him.

C - Cuddle (how they cuddle)

Sherlock leaves impression of emotionless man lead by only logic and his mind but he is also huge cuddly baby. He likes to be little spoon when he had bad day or when he doesn’t feel well, then he just wants you two wrap your arms around him. When you have the bad day he would almost immediately knew what’s wrong and would just open and wrap his arms around you quietly. He would stroke your back slowly making you relax and calm down.

D - Dates (what dates with them are like)

Dates with Sherlock are never boring and never at the same location. Sometimes the date can happen on the crime scene and he often makes them even more interesting by asking you to help him solve the case.

E - Everything (you are my…)

You are his helper, crush, relaxation and love. The last one takes the most time to confess to himself but once he finally accepts the truth he becomes more open to you about his feeling.

F - Feelings (when they realize that they love you)

He realizes that he loves you when he notices how often he thinks about you. His mind is filled with only important things so when he catches himself thinking about you he realizes he has some feelings for you.

G - Gentle (are they gentle?)

He is very, very, gentle even if he doesn’t look like that. At the end of the hard day he just loves to cuddle with you and to listen to your gentle voice as you tell him about your day. When he notices that you are not in the mood for talking he would just wrap his arms around your body and bring you close to himself. He would often stroke your hair and cheeks making you forget about your bad day and every problem you might have.

H - Hand/hold (how do they hold you? Do they hold hands?)

Not always and surely not in public. When he is stressed or angry because of something he doesn’t want to be touched but when he notices you don’t feel well he would gently touch your hand and slide his fingers between yours reassuring you that everything is going to be fine.

I - Impression (first impression)

When he first time saw you he tried to deduce and find out as many things about you as he could. He only found out few things about you but most things are secret for him still. He immediately noticed that you are cheerful a bit naïve and very loving and caring person.

J - Joker (do they pull pranks?)

Sometimes, when he is in the mood for it. Sherlock is very serious most of the time and doesn’t like to joke but when it comes to you he likes to tease you a little bit, just to see your reaction.

K - Kisses (how they kiss)

L - Little things (what little things they love)

When you remember something he said to you. He knows that people don’t pay attention when he says something or when he does something so when you tell him something you remembered or when you notice the small things on him and make your own deduction about it he feels very happy and also falls in love with you again and again.

M - Memory (favorite memory together)

His favorite memory of you is when you both got stuck in elevator. You two talked about weird but interesting stuff for hours and shared interesting facts with each other until they fixed the elevator.

N - Nickel (do they spoil?)

No unless you mean affection and love. Material things are not important to him and he doesn’t waste time on that.

O - Orange (what color reminds them of you)

Dark blue, reminds him of you because no matter how much time he spends with you or how much he thinks he knows you, you are still mystery to him, and you will always be. He associates dark blue with depth of the ocean, mysterious, calm yet dangerous, and surely very beautiful in its own mysterious way.

P – Petnames (what petnames they use)

He doesn’t use any kind of pet name or nickname; he prefers to call people by their name.

Q - Questions (what are the questions they’re always asking?)

He always asks kind of weird questions or very complicated ones which made you think for a while before you answer him.

R - Remember (their favorite memory of each other)

His favorite memory of you is when he saw you helping the lost crying little girl on the street. He knows that people like you are rare and when he saw you smiling gently at her and helping her find her parents he knew you were special.

S - Sad (how they cheer themselves/others up)

Sherlock doesn’t know how to cheer himself up and as well doesn’t know how to do that to others. Sometimes he would make the situation even worse with his conclusions (which are most of the time true) but he didn’t had intention to hurt anyone just to help them see the right side of the problem. However sometimes he knows how to surprise sad person by giving them compliments and making them laugh with his smart jokes.

T - Talking (what they love to talk about)

He absolutely loves to talk about his unsolved cases. He would just walk around the apartment talking quickly about what he had seen on crime scene, the smallest details he saw on suspects, the behavior of the suspects… Usually your questions would help him solve the mystery and he would be very thankful for that. Also he likes to talk about art, science, music and other things he finds interesting.

U - Universe (a metaphor)

The moon

Part of you is always hidden away.

V - Very (thoughts about each other)

He thinks you are very kind, beautiful, intelligent and a little bit naïve person who always manages to make him smile even in the worst situations.

You think that Sherlock is one really beautiful person, who has heart of gold; you think that he is very caring and that he doesn’t know how to express it correctly. Overall he is very loving at his own crazy way.

W - Why (reasons why they love you)

He loves you because of your smile, your intelligence and your kindness. He loves when you smile because it warms his once cold heart, your intelligence because you always find a way to intrigue him and your kindness because no matter how the people are bad to themselves and to each other you always find a way to see good in everyone and you are always kind to them.

X - Xylophone (what’s their song?)

Vivaldi’s four seasons. He absolutely loves classic music and you often find him playing it on his violin.

Y - You (what you are to them)

You are his biggest mystery. He never understood your reasons why you love him, why are you so full of patience, why are you still with him when he is at his worst etc…

Z - Zebra (what pet they want to have)

He would like to have a dog, cocker spaniel. Because of the huge mess the dog sometimes created you two had to give him to his parents who take nice care of him. However the dog didn’t forget you two and would jump at you as soon as you showed up on door.
