Me @ Mattel & Universal:

My mother asked me a very interesting question:

“Why does your generation (Gen-Z) insist on adhering to lables and telling everyone what we identify as?”

She asked me this after she found out I am Asexual. (If we really want to get specific: Cis gender woman, who is a sex-repulsed Asexual, age 21.)

For context, my Mom is a Gen-X, Hispanic woman, raised catholic.

In my experience, labels help us know how to interact and identify eachother. What kinds of respect and social edicet must be used on a person to person basis and lets us know who might be safe to be around and out/open with.

Lets us know how to adress eachother. For example if my friend identifies as a nonbinary individual, due to this label, I know to use they/them pronouns. I’ve heard someone (IDK who) say,: “I may not respect you, but I will respect your pronouns.”

In a relationship context… (romantic specifically)

Labels allows us to inform any potential partners of what we might want or expect from a relationship. In my case the boundaries that must be set in place.

It is important to be upfont with potential partners about your identity whether it be gender or sexuality. For example, if you are polyamorous, any potential partners need clear communication as to what this relationship will entail. This opens the door for consent. (And consent is ✨Sexy✨!)

For me, I am very open about my Asexuality to all my partners. I want them to be aware of this side of me and what my needs are and they they are comfortable with dating me.

Also for someone who is aromatic, having this label takes the pressure off themselves from the outside world to seek a romantic relationship!

Tldr: “Why Gen-z uses labels?”

He's great Sign representation! Proof that Sign language can be used by more than Just Deaf people! But those who are mute as well!

I hate it when writers just take the easy way and make him able to telepathically communicate with others instead of signing. ASL is such a beautiful language (I'm minoring in it) and is very important to me!!!

OCs: Mizu and Stor

Mizu is on the left, she has blue skin and hair because she is a water nymph. Her name means water in Japanese. 

Stor is on the right. “Stor” is short for “Kæmpe Stor” which means giant in Danish. Like his name and stature suggests he is a giant. He is about 33 feet in height.  

They are characters from a comic I am working on called “The Biggest Heart”

This is just an image of these two idiots flirting. They are so bad at it. 

I’m finally posting this drawing because I’m hoping it will motivate me to work harder and faster on my comic... And get the nerves to eventually publish it...

I've been reading so many fanfictions and posts about Jackson and Holt coming back to MH, or just stories with 100% better reboot plots, and I think I'm accidentally brainwashing myself into thinking that what I read is canon.

And I love it.

I just watched the new Jim Henson documentary…

Overall it was very good, well paced, great visuals and editing. I learned a lot about Jim Henson and the company that I didn’t before and more behind the scenes that I hadn’t seen/heard which is always a treat!

I cried three times. 🫣👌 I had to fight the primal urge to pause the documentary and point out to my family where and what movie/show/episode every clip was from. This was my “did you know Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe” scene.

I will say, I do think they very QUICKLY went over the disney merger and didn’t even mention the fallout with Disney after Jim’s death.

———————

The main problem I had was that SOME puppeteers got spot lights, interviews or arrows pointing out the individuals. And while I appreciate that these individuals got some recognition (which they 100% should), I think the documentary should have been consistent and do this with every new important/fundamental puppeteer to the film.

I alreay have!!! I was able to EASILY point out Karen Prell, Louise Gold, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Kevin Clash, Steve whitmire, etc. But an average viewer wouldn’t know who is who and what they contributed to the company!

I just think it’s intriguing who they chose to highlight and who they left out.

And I’ve noticed this happen in other muppet documentaries, like “Street Gang,” where they barely glossed over Richard Hunt and Jerry Nelson’s contributions to the show. (I’ve mentioned this problem here before. (Queer erasure during pride month? 🙄))

It would be such an easy problem to fix! Just a quick arrow to point out any new puppeteer or cast member to the Jim Henson Company. Maybe list their job/their characters so a main stream audience could identify them.

I can think of several founding members who are still alive today that were not interviewed. Maybe these people were asked to come in, IDK, but I would have loved to hear from more people you don’t hear from often.

I could definitely tell the documentary was really trying to avoid the “Steve Whitmire” sized elephant in the room, even though he was in SO MANY shots. I can guarantee that if he was still with the company he would have been featured heavily in the documentary.

One last thing…

They interviewed Michael Frith, where was my girl Kathryn Mullen?? (His wife.) She hasn’t done anything in over a decade, are you okay?? Blink if you need help. 👁️👄👁️😐😑😐😑
