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...".
Look how many people hate him. I’m pretty damn happy about that 😁😁😁😁😁😁
i’m obsessed with this scene
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.
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.
Part One: Part Two; Part Three
That’s the end!! For now……. :) The next book‘s announcement will come soon :D
I’ve been around for a really long time in various fandoms, and no one ever writes this stuff down. I’ll start. Please add to the list. We can’t expect people to follow “rules” they don’t know exist.

if you like something, reblog it. Help the artist get their work out there in front of more people. Share the joy that it brought you.
if you want more of it, support it. This can be via commissions, reblogs, recommending the artist to other people, shouting in the tags, or sending the artist asks/messages.
if you hate it, keep scrolling. Keep the hate in a message window with a friend, not in the artist’s notes.
if you want to use it, ask permission. Artwork is beautiful and you want to show it off. But please ask the artist before you throw it into your header or your icon.
if you use it, give credit. And not just a post where you say “Do you like my new icon? X made it!”. Put it in your blog description, that way when someone rolls around your blog three months from now, they also know where your icon/header came from.
if you like something, reblog it. Help the author get their work out there in front of more people. Share the joy that it brought you.
if you want more of it, support it. Kudos are fine, but if you want more of the thing you like, you should comment. Subscribe to the story or the author. Send them a message about how much you like what they wrote.
if you read it, kudos it. Or give it a thumbs up. And this is just if you managed to get all the way to the end. If you finished the story and you actually liked it? Comment and reblog.
don’t demand content. Be patient. Stories take time. You can encourage without being demanding. Show your love for what’s there without telling them to post more often.
be gentle with criticism. Some people want it and some people run away from it. If you don’t know what type of person the author is, it’s best not to go there. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.”
ship and let ship. You love your ship and other people love theirs. No one needs to “win” when we’re all going to end up in tears anyway.
if you hate it, stay out of the tag. This has two meanings: 1) don’t deliberately put hateful commentary in a tag and 2) if you hate a tag, don’t go and read through that tag just to make yourself angry
if someone makes you something, appreciate it. Read and comment the fic. Like and reblog the artwork. Pimp it out and tell them how much you loved it. It’s a gift, treat it like one.
if it’s a gift, put some effort into it. You signed up for that exchange three months ago and now it’s a week before you have to send the gift and you don’t have the time or the inclination to do the thing. Well too bad. Someone out there has been working hard in your gift, so you should do the same for them.
none of us are “better” than anyone else. We’re all trash for our particular show/film/book/ship/artist/what-have-you. My fave is no better than yours and yours is no better than mine.
actors are not their characters. They are people. Treat them like people.
