ricky rat: all of our princesses are heterosexual

the animators of the last 4 princess projects: ….

animators: ….yup

I am so tired of being told that i am too old for the things i like. No cartoons. No toys. No fantasy animals. No bright colors. Are adults supposed to live monotonous, bleak lives ? I can be an adult and still love childish things. I can be intelligent and educated and informed and i can love stuffed animals and unicorns. These things are not mutually exclusive. Please stop making me feel bad for loving the things that make me happy.

Amen.

I’ve posted this kind of stuff before, but it never hurts to repeat it.

I just turned 60, and my apartment and writing/art studio are crammed with toys, stuffed animals, kids’ books, and comics. I have framed cartoon art.  I rarely invite over adults who don’t know me well, because they always stop, stare, and laugh out loud or snicker before inevitably saying, “I didn’t know you had kids,” or “Someone needs to grow up!”

My replies are “I didn’t know you had no sense of fun” and “My mother would have said insulting someone’s home decor is a sure sign that they need to grow up.”

These photos are from my studio.  In the area by my drawing desk I have lots of figures that remind me of characters in my WIP, and some I just like.

The figures are from Brave, Coco, Tangled, Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventures, Elena of Avalor, Moana, Frozen, Frozen 2, and Spider-man: Homecoming.  Plus a random dragon.  Sorry for the crappy photos from my cheap phone.  ;-)

My Phantom of the Opera music box and some of my art supplies.

My studio’s graphic novel bookcase.  The figures are from live action Dumbo, Vampirina, Moana, Tangled, The Princess and the Frog, and Fancy Nancy. Plus one Pusheen and one Hallmark Christmas kitten.

Mother Gothel is disgusted with Pusheen binging on fries.

Some of my stuffed animals. From left to right, Bagheera, a tie-in with the original animated Disney film, from 1966, so dearly loved his felt nose has worn away (I need to repair it); a poor plush cow I found in a sidewalk planter, quite dirty, so I gave him a bath and named him Happy Cow; a Steiff fox; a Steiff cat whose head turns, a gift a family friend gave me purchased in Berlin 1964, after the Berlin Wall went up.

I love these all dearly, and my toys and stuffed animals and cartoon art fill my life with joy.  I won’t have anything to do with soulless jerks who think it’s not mature.

Disney cartoons + Happy Hispanic Heritage month!!!

Fav animated series creators

Greg Weismann, Brandon Vietti, Paul Dini, Bruce Tim and Justin Halpern

 I put all these together since these shows are based on Dc comics. I’m sure many agree that Justice League, Batman, most of the DCAU set the bar for quality animated shows. I mean they took a cartoon and made it layered and mature. It made the comics understandable to this non-comic reader, it had action, and heart and humor that I can still appreciate watching it again (I do have a gesture but my hands are tied 😏). Plus the show can got renewed, twice! young Justice quickly rose in the shadow of the DCAU as one of my favorite shows ever. Maybe some of it is nostalgia clouding my vision but Young Justice also ups the stakes by comparing it to the real world, adding and changing their world and having the guts to kill Kid Flash (though I still have hope🙏). Finally Justin Halpern created the new Harley Quinn series which is just so freaking hilarious. It doesn’t have any overarching arc (yet….) but it’s funny and a great stress reliever. 

Craig Gerber, Frank Agones, Chris Sonneburg, and Dana Terence

 I lump these together as the new Disney since their tv shows are still airing (Elena of Avalor, Ducktales, Tangled, and The Owl House respectively) If people still think Disney shows for kids are simplistic, they have not seen these. They have heart, family betrayal, death, and world building. Also I love their songs, I can’t deny that.  

Dan Povenmire, Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, Jeff Goode, Bob Schooley, and Mark McCorkle 

These are creators of shows that are finished but are still classic Disney like Dan/Jeff’s Phinezs and Ferb whose boundless imagination and songs gripped at least every millennial like “Gitchee Gitchee Goo” or taught us valuable lessons like “Carpe Diem” and “Aglets.” Plus it featured one of the most iconic villains ever, Dr. Doofenshmirtz! Jeff Goode crested the equally iconic American Dragon: Jake Long which I think was one of the first times I really saw urban fantasy with all the magical creatures wandering about New York with one protector to help them, all. I only wish they got to continue the series with one more season. Finally the famous Kim Possible, what else can I say that hasn’t been said but “what’s the stitch?” 

Noelle Stevenson 

I loved her Lumberjanes stories and I am addicted to her She Ra and the Princesses of Power! Like the above mentioned shows it took some of its source material and made an original spin on it like Adora and Catra’s tense relationship, Glimmer’s failures and guilt in becoming queen, Entrapta changing sides while also paying some homage like the funny Roll the Dive episode. It also does very well in making progressive strides like Bow’s two dads and the non binary Double Trouble.

Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino I’ll keep this short since I’m sure there have been countless essays and analyses already more eloquent than mine. But Avatar: The Last Airbender is an amazing show with Zuko’d complex one of a kind redemption arc, Katara’s passionate and strong action girl nature, Aang coming to terms with the genocide of his tribe and the absolute power and responsibility he holds at such a tender age and it’s amazing action sequences and eastern based cultures. 

Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and David Michel Around the same time as Kim Possible, I was getting my double dose of spy action with Totally Spies and loving it. It is also such a fun series with its bright pastels and rather oddly specific villains but it also had its heart too with the girls’ close friendship and being one of the few shows in my childhood that I can remember where they actually got time progression, continuity and even graduate. 

Marc Brown 

I couldn’t do a complete list of fav animated shows without mentioning Arthur. Definitely one of the few shows that I can watch again without cringing over a preachy moral. Yes, there’s a moral but it does it in an entertaining way.
