You close your eyes and go to sleep

The AI takeover has begun, each human has been given exactly 3 minutes to explain why should humanity be spared, you feel a cold shiver running down your spine as you hear the robotic voice. “6.8 billion test subjects deleted so far, you have 3 minutes to state your case, begin”.

REBLOG THIS IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS A SAFE SPACE FOR ANY LGBTQ+ MEMBER AND ALLY

It's been three months since I first told someone to use she/they pronouns for me and now I'm all the way over at he/him... something happened...

Dear Disney,

I'm not sure how to get in touch with you guys directly, so I'm hoping this will somehow make it's way to you for a good reason.

I'm a 24 year old adult male with some mental and emotional issues and I'm writing to you about your decision to cancel Dana Terrace's cartoon: The Owl House. From what I've read, you've chosen to cancel it but have allowed 3 or 4 more 44 minute specials before ending the show for not fitting the brand and the viewer audience being slightly older than anticipated. With all my heart, please reconsider.

Yes, I will agree that the fandom for The Owl House is a slightly older age group, but there are some of us who find true comfort and peace along with interest and curiosity in watching the new cartoons being released now days. It's interesting to see them change from the ones I grew up with, where nothing major happened with testing real-world boundaries like same-sex couples or family loss.

Speaking of which, is that what doesn't fit your brand? I know there is still quite a lot of disapproval with showing same-sex marriage or couples on cartoons, but why is that? Why not teach kids that love is love no matter what gender you are or how you identify? It could help teach them lessons and normalize same-sex marriage/couples from a young age and view it as no different when seeing it in person growing up and accepting people for who they truly are.

Throughout the years, many cartoons have tried to show same-sex couples, such as: Cartoon Network's- Steven Universe created by: Rebecca Sugar, and Adventure Time created by: Pendleton Ward, who were quickly shut down and had their shows cancelled. Both those shows were another comfort for me, personally, and a lot of my friends as well. Cartoon Network also faced some backlash from it's fans for doing that to the shows. However, Nickelodeon's: The Loud House created by: Chris Savino, has been featuring two married men with a son and is still going strong, and the fans of the network really appreciate it. Another worthy note is a commercial produced by the soup brand: Campbell's. In 2015 they released a commercial featuring two Dad's feeding their son some soup. Although the company did face some backlash for it, they stuck by it and defended it because, well, let's admit it, that's what right.

So, Disney, I'm asking you to please rethink your decision on canceling The Owl House. Please stand on the right side of history by letting this great show continue on with it's cannon gay girlfriends, use of all different pronouns, and great storyline. You would be making so many people happy and helping teach the next generation about normalizing all types of love.

Thank you for hearing me out.

Sincerely, a big fan.
