'there's no transfem representation in Knights of Guinevere! Dana Terrace ruined my life and excluded us from media again!'

you're making a lot of demands and assumptions about a show that only has a 30 minute pilot available to watch. try getting a job

The way Rebecca Sugar, Dana Terrace and Vivziepop are treated by the animation community is disgusting. They're human beings too, y'know.

We're SERIOUSLY attacking Dana Terrace because a GNC character SHE made is not trans?

Dana Terrace. Owl House Dana Terrace. Dana Terrace who got multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including non-binary ones, into a fucking Disney show.

Y'all...fucking...just....fucking stop...holy shit.

THE -PITCH
Three Friends, One "Love" Story
For a while, Anissa, Peyton and Charly were all each other had. Friendship is an
involuntary reflex. Eut as they keep aging out. of their twenties, doubts about their bond start to creep up.

Peyton seems to get nervous when Charly hugs him, and blushes scarlet when Anissa smiles at him. But that's stupid-right? Can you- even love-two people like-that. at the same time?

Anissa has secretly been binge-scrolling through aroace tumblr blogs for weeks now, it all seems to click, but she wants to be a mom, always has. Rahim from the marriage app is nice, but would he accept her?

Charly has no problem getting people heartbeats to pick up, but married life is not his thing. He just wants to write his scripts, marriage would just be a distraction.

Love is different for everyone, they might learn it the hard way though

VIBES:
Contemporary/Literary Fiction
FLEABAG x PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER
“Anti-Romance” Novella First Person Three different POV
SETTING: Film School in the West End of London,
Third DimensionalCharac:ters/Cozy Vibe/ Mid-20s Coming of Age story
CHARACTERS:
WIP STAGE: 25% Completed (1st draft)
Charly Ravenna: 2045 Oscar Winner for Best Original Screenplay/ Proud Trans Latino Boy/Fave movies: Seven Psychopaths
Anissa Raphaëlle DioP: Storyboarder extraordinaire/Comic Geek /Fave movie: V for Vendetta
Peyton Evans: Future Compose/ Dad Friend/Fave Movie: the Wall

Charly’s POV: I think I just might be doomed, accidentally and through no fault of my own, to get randoms to fall in love with me…. I fucking hate that.
I roll my eyes at the text on my phone’s screen, turn it off and then gaze back at the script in front of me. Babe is a couple’s monniker. A way for someone to claim you in the name of love, romantic love. We met for drinks and came back to my apartment for some light roleplay… once. Seriously? This is a fucking nightmare.

Anissa’s POV: “Yeah, it’s pretty big.” I agree. “But I think I’m ready, my bachelor’s will be ready next year, it will be my recovery anniversary around the same time and I…” I trail off. Then sigh again.
“I really want a baby.” There I said it.
I don’t expect any judgement from my best friend, nor anybody in my broader social circle for that matter. But it still feels weird to be so open about what I want. Maybe my therapist is right and I did build some protective walls around myself over the years… or something like that.
“You’l be an amazing mum,” Peyton says. Lightly punching my shoulder with affection, my heart does a bit of a summersault. “The world could use more of those.”

Peyton’s POV: Sure, I'm the bloke who lives in a trailer on the outskirts of the city, but it's mine. The apprenticeship degree does earn me money, aside from his gig at the local cafeteria, and music producing for movies is also the only career that doesn’t make him want to bang my head against a wall... I am also the bloke who needs to prove time and time again his rich family doesn’t want anything to do with him, nor with his disabled uncle (the only person in said family who treats me like an actual human being), so the government would also take a bit of pity on us and help us out.

I'm just Peyton, who loves his best friends more than anything and isn’t quite sure how he landed such amazing people. But dammit if he's not going to fight for them…

That is my truth.

Day 4 of #DVParty - COUNT THE THUNDER (a YA fantasy thriller) as a gif or meme.

Since day one, it has been the “instincts bad” Spider-Man panel.

#YA #F #thriller #LGBT

An image of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man suit but without a mask, holding a duffle bag full of cash. In panel one he thinks: Thinkthinkthink. Panicking. Work on instinct. In the second he throws the duffle bag out the window, thinking: instincts bad.

Hey #DVparty! Here’s the moodboard for my #SpaceOpera WE SANG DOWN THE EMPIRE.

Washed-up alien musician Nesamma Abbas joins a rebel rock band to take down the Human Empire with a martial art of sound. She must confront her pain, master her powers and choose between revolution or redemption.

Mood board of my upcoming Space Opera We Sang Down the Empire. It features ephemeral and evocative art of artist Joshua Mays to convey the spritual element of the martial art of sound that is at the heart of the book. There are women of color in space age futuristic background and magic practices.

For this #DVParty I'm posting the opening lines of my three main characters!

#WritingCommunity

I think I just might be
doomed, accidentally and
through no fault of my own,
to get random lads to fall in
love with me.. . I fucking
hate that

I glance at Charly as he is
exiting out of the
bathroom-from my little
corner on the makeshift
stage of the café
for a few
moments, before he walks
towards me, I bite my
tongue to avoid bringing up
the fact he looks like he has
not slept in two weeks

I'm a bit of a yapper, I'll
admit. I can get lost in the
whims of my brain as my
vocal chords turn those same
whims into words. As is
demonstrable by the fact it
takes me about ten seconds
to realize Peyton wasn't
following me anymore.

I let out a sigh of exhaustion and keep writing corrections in red ink. Love? Again, seriously? Even if I was in love with, uh… shit - what is his name? Fuck this is gonna bother me for the rest of the– Tyler! Yes! Okay, great… So even if I was in love with Tyler, (again, after one fucking date.) I don’t have time for a relationship…

Left to right:
(Left) A 13-year-old Native American/Māori boy with long curly hair tied in a ponytail. He wears tiny gold hoops in his ears. His uniform is lilac and gold. A lilac jacket with the initials MA stitched into it, a gold vest with purple lining, a gold tie, and plaid, purple pants. The tallest of the group.
(Middle) A 13-year-old Black girl with light blue hair styled into cornrows. She has multiple piercings on each ear, including two dangling crescent moons. She has a mole under her eye. She wears the same uniform as the previous boy, but her jacket is buttoned up and she wears a skirt. She has a slight gap between her two front teeth. Much shorter than the boy on the left, slightly taller than the boy on the right.
(Right) A 13-year-old Black/Filipino boy who's wearing the same uniform as the previous two. He's added a dark purple hoodie to his uniform. His dark hair is sectioned into twists. He's wearing circular, golden-rimmed sunglasses. A small, red fox is perched on his shoulders.
