No one:
Me, in a weird point of deconversion/relearning stuff where I can’t do a lot of technical stuff I frequently did in fundamentalist environment I was raised in anymore, but I also don’t know how to do a lot of technical stuff I have to do in the secular environment I’m in now, that others grew up being taught how to do:
Luca is once again enabling me to get that sweet sweet lgbt rep under my parents noses. It doesn't have any cannon queer characters, but the entire movie is a gay allegory tbh. I honestly can't reccomend it enough, so just go watch it!
Did they ever reveal how Captain America was thawed? Because I’m picturing a bunch of Shield agents with hair dryers and I don’t think that’s quite right.
I was in a need of making the post about one of my favorite characters of all time - Po Ping from Kung Fu Panda. We all know that he is an overweight who became our favorite badass, the Dragon Warrior. But I wanted to focus more on the things that are overlooked - or at least I feel like they are.
WARNING - this post will contain some MAJOR KFP3 spoilers!
Ok, so let’s get this party started. Po Ping…
-is an artistic soul
-made his action figures all by himself (including carving in wood and painting) the very day he fell in love with kung fu
-has a photographic memory! He saw the Furious Five only once from far away and carved their portraits in wood very accurately
-was able to learn the Wuxi Finger Hold all by himself just from pure observation and while being under the massive distress
-learns fast. Really fast, mostly from his own mistakes. He improved his fighting skills in such a short time
-cares about his art so much and is very proud of it
-is very creative! It usually shows during the fight on numerous occasions (he “drew” the giant dragon with his own chi, for example)
-probably likes to sing when he thinks no one is around (judging from the scene from the holiday special), he’s pretty good at singing
-cooks well
-has/had PTSD
-hated himself for about 20 years of his life
-is craving compliments and affection… or any kind of validation, really
-throws himself into the most dangerous situations without second thinking
-is even ready to sacrifice his own life for a bigger cause if he thinks it’s necessary
-literally jumps into committing a suicide to save his loved ones. And yes, he was pretty sure he would stay dead i will never cope with this
-is probably asexual… heck, he is very likely asexual! I mean…
So in conclusion, Po Ping is an overweight, a fanboy and a badass but he is also…
-an artist with many talents
-a victim of mental illness
-an individual who for the course of all three movies weren’t given a love interest and yet he isn’t illustrated as broken or cold - he is represented as a loving person, as someone who is capable of love, who’s able to show his affection to others
Thank you DreamWorks, for this amazing, fleshed out character.

I love color theory :)
Something about kirishima and bakugou being in love makes me so emotional. Even though it's just a ship, the fan works I see for it feel so authentic to me. I can imagine the relationship actually functioning and it makes me get sappy about the experiences I feel I missed out on being in the closet.
In conclusion, am I a repressed gay projecting onto fictional characters? Yes. Does that make them or the artists/writers any less precious to me? No.

So I found a really awesome manga today???
It’s called “Kichijoji dake ga sumitai machi desu ka?” or, roughly, “The only town you want to live in is Kichijoji?” and is by Maki Hirochi
It’s about two sisters who work do real estate in Kichijoji, Tokyo
They’re both fat girls, but as far as I can tell so far, they aren’t fetishized or are the butt of a joke???
They’re both super cute, and drawn proportionally and realistically, seriously I can’t think of the last time I saw a manga with fat girls as the main characters/protagonists, or if I EVER have period.
AND THEY LOVE METAL/HARD ROCK?!?!?
LIKE WOW IM IN LOVE!??
Also the stories are all just really sweet, it’s basically just the sisters helping people who come to their real-estate agency find the perfect home, like, it’s really cute and sweet and good?
Also it has a live-action drama going on rn which is super exciting!
Basically, I don’t know if this story will get more popular or if the manga will get an English translation, but I was just super hyped about this and wanted to share ~ <3
