Winx Content Anyone? Anyone?

you! me! dancing!

somehow gesture practice turned into fanart, again.

(Listen, I know Angel has four arms, but it wouldn’t work with the pose. In this case, he just has the two.)

the real professor Avalon is the complete opposite of the fake one. fake Avalon was constantly getting in students’ faces and getting a little too comfortable with them. he was creepy and condescending

but the real Avalon is different. he looks like the kind of teacher who keeps a respectful distance between himself and his students. that strict teacher that challenges his students so they can unlock their full potential. the teacher that respectfully addresses his students by their last names because that’s how he is. he loves teaching and wants to show his students that he respects them and that he can also learn from them just as much as they learn from him

he knows how to command respect but also how to make sure that everyone is comfortable in his class. the last thing real Avalon wants is making them fear his subject. he wants to challenge them not make them cry

and this is why we need more of real Avalon, because he is surely an excellent teacher. we just never had the chance to see him in teaching mode and that makes me sad 😭

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down

you gotta be able to say "die"

you gotta be able to say "suicide"

you gotta be able to talk about "sex"

they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE

because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.

even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"

like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.

This is what's so goddamn terrifying about the Internet slowly collapsing into the same 3-5 websites--if Facebook deprioritizes you for saying "sex" and TikTok shadowbans you for saying "suicide" and Twitter X locks your account for saying "racism" we've lost a lot more than just the culture of the old weird internet

the new honda odyssey will tear your children limb from limb.

You can keep a hundred boys in jars or whatever it is that Chappell Roan said

[thinks about it] yup that is indeed unambiguously a christological heresy.

maybe it's because i was raised catholic but churches shouldn't look like furniture stores

if i was god and someone built and designed this place to worship me i would fucking smite them

okay I can already see where this is going so let’s try again
