So Like An Hour Ago I Just Lear🪨︵︵ned That— What The Fuck Was That. Someone Just Skipped A Rock

Little rant because honestly what the hell.

So, I won't deny that Die With A Smile is a good song, and Bruno Mars' and Lady Gaga's vocals are really pretty together. But at the same time I don't like the song because both of them are zionists.

(The website I got this from is reverse canary mission btw, helps you look up any famous people who have done active harm during the Palestinian genocide)

And it just baffles me how they can actively ignore a genocide while making a song together about dying with a smile as the world ends.

(Side note: I haven't listened to the full song and I refuse to. I've just heard bits through clips and edits because that song is everywhere bro)

I dunno if that’s considered irony but it's certainly cruel, right? Like I can't be the only one who thinks that right?

Atleast 70% of asexuals can relate to this, so I'm told

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.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

Reblog to save a life?

I have the upper body strength of a toddler so this is very helpful thankyou

Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister

That chair looks really cool tbh

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

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.

Everyone who sees this gets a gold star you did great today

REBLOG THIS TO GIVE THE PERSON YOU REBLOGGED THIS FROM A GOLD STAR BECAUSE THEY’VE BEEN STELLAR TODAY AND THEY DESERVE IT ⭐️

Hey y'all look at this

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.

i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.

please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

I'm not hating on this person and I wanted to talk to them privately but I couldn't for some reason so I'm just gonna say this. I'm not worried about the views or that they'll cancel it again. Why would I be worried about the views? And plus, they won't cancel it again for the exact reason that the episodes are already paid for. That's pretty common knowledge. The reason this is such a big is because these are the last episodes of the owl house. There aren't gonna be anymore after this. I've been in this Fandom since season 2 came out and I've never seen something like this where people are posting the full episode everywhere and people leaking spoilers even when others say specifically not to leak them, like in the post I mentioned. Those aren't innocent fans, those are people who want to ruin the experience for everyone. I mean, the majority of the Fandom on multiple platforms are upset by this because it's really disrespectful and disappointing. And Dana thinks so too. Not to mention TheOwlClub posted the whole episode and made a whole apology post but still haven't taken the episode down, which given that they can put episodes up, I'm sure they can take them down as well. It's ruining the experience for everyone including all of the people who worked hard on this show and these last few episodes. The voice actors, the directors, the animators, the writers and Dana herself. So maybe it's nit the biggest deal in the world but it's still not fun when you want to experience something for yourself and it's ruined because people just won't listen. And honestly I think it's fine if people are understandably upset about it.

Bro- the amount of disrespect the Fandom has been protruding with For The Future has been insane.

But tbh I'm not all that surprised. There's always people like this in fandoms. It's awful, but atleast for me it isn't that surprising anymore.

The thing that gets me is that TheOwlClub released the episode. Just like they did with True Colors. It's one thing to make that mistake once, but twice? At that point is doesn't seem like a mistake.

They made a whole post regarding everything and apologized, which is nice, but the episode is still up on their website. "Maybe they haven't had time to take it down yet!" They posted it yesterday. I have seen people say that and oh no, they've had plenty of time to take it down.

Maybe it was a mistake, and they didn't mean to upload the episode. But they still did and now I'm seeing spoilers and the full video all over YouTube. This is honestly awful. Last few episodes and no one can respect that. Not to mention that cute message Dana made with the titles "Thanks For Watching" and now "fans" are uploading it everywhere and spoiling it.

I saw a post on YouTube about someone posting a picture of Luz's palisman being that purple cloud and said "If you know what it is don't spoil it!" And luckily most respected that, just commenting "It's really cute and creative, that's all I'm gonna say" and stuff like that. But then there were people in the replies revealing what it was, and they were all doing it multiple times.

God, I can't blame Dana for being pissed. This is just so disrespectful. I know it's just a show, but it has already been disrespected enough, with season 3 being cut short and the LGBTQ+ rep being censored in other countries just so Disney can get their precious pennies.

Like, imagine wanting to make a show, actually getting to do it, the last season being cut short and just as you were telling hundreds of fans who enjoyed the show "Despite the last season being cut short it was still great to create a show!" And promoting a website that showed your episodes, just for those fans and that website to bite you. That must sting.

Edit cause I'm still very mad: Saw someone on here post spoilers with no tag and said "haters dni" like dude we're not haters we're actual fans. I know what I just said is super cringey but that's just how I feel. A very impolite screw you to them and everyone else acting like this :]
