POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

"Dragon Strikers" on Disney/Disney+ offers a compelling found-family story filled with more magic than one can handle!

Even better, it features canon ex-boyfriends Odward Stonegarden and Casper Ferreiro as they navigate their feelings both on and off the field.

Spoiler alert: things get romantic, wild, and genuinely satisfying. Watching their breaking connection unfold is worth every moment, as is the entire first season of "Dragon Strikers."

It is so important for queer representation to be introduced meaningfully. Portraying the two young men as exes creates an interesting dynamic and helps show that queer couples are just like anyone else—they breakup, argue, and kick butt with magical powers on the soccer pitch. See, like everyone else!

Thank you @disneyplus for the access to stream "Dragon Strikers" and for sharing this M/M romance (which is really just a small part of the fun that the whole show offers) with audiences everywhere.

Everyone except some countries in the Middle East. The clip that caused the show to be banned is on Slide 6 - what are your thoughts on the two??

Get these heroes some therapy!

Season 4 of 'Invincible' has come and gone like the Scourge Virus (iykyk) and it's looking like a power ranking is in order.

Here are my top picks for strongest characters on the show. A lot to choose from, many can fight well, but not all can take on a violent Viltrumite.

This one is for my fellow animation fans and anyone watching #invincible

I have a Substack called @jonny8that where I tackle topics 8 points at a time. Here’s an excerpt I wrote from making the zine. It’s about how voting matters because that’s how we got Kelly Clarkson! (49/76)

Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park aren't to blame - he is! John Hammond's greed, a study of ethics versus ego, is explored greatly in the 1991 novel.

Check out my full interview with @chispaapp partner @estitties - here's a snippet:

"So.Gay: I’m so happy that you’re feeling yourself grow in drag and as a person. It is an evolving art form, and you’re an evolving person, so it makes sense that you’re both growing together.

S.E.: I want to always be changing. I want to always be evolving. You don’t want to be Charmander your entire life. I want to be a Charizard.

So.Gay: True, and you’re definitely in your final form, Charizard-ing right now."
