what would you think abt st in general if byler doesn’t happen
#it would be fine#like. just an Okay show#one that i am very passionate about but. an Okay show nonetheless#good parts and bad parts#personally i really do think byler would improve both mike and will's arcs and further the themes st usually pushes#which would shift the show from something that is generally Okay in my eyes to something that is actually Pretty Good in that regard#but if they really do follow through w/ mileven then#whatever yk#it is what it is

A poll for our Beloved Five Followers Only...
They will both be posted, but the winner will be the first to go out. We will probably post some of episode one's script OR some character interactions we deeply, deeply enjoy thereafter. But for now, pick one!!!!!! <3

about to do a luca wordvomit sorry sorry
i just saw someone saying that luca was "queerbaiting" or like. an example of writers/executives being to afraid to write queer romance, and while that may or may not be true (given the context, like how maybe a year after that film came out those pixar employees wrote that one letter) i actually think that luca is impressive and impactful because it isn't a romance-- it exists within a pre-romance, and because of that, it hits that much harder.
also they aren't canon just because kenna jean harris made fanart of them but that's another conversation. back to my actual point:
viewing luca through a queer lens, there is SO much to be found that is immensely relatable to the queer experience-- primarily, what it's like to grow up gay. you have the concerned, fearful mother; you have the supportive relative and ally friend; the bullies, the mentor-- and more importantly, you have that one person that absolutely changed everything.
i'm not going to say that this is a universal experience-- everyone's journey is different. but i am going to say that this is something that is incredibly common, even more so within queer media-- and luca is just another example of this. no doubt about it-- alberto's presence in the film is one that is both vital to the plot and to the allegory that the story presents.
it's almost common to joke about life-ruining/world-altering homoerotic friendships in online queer spaces. that's probably why the film was so relatable to a lot of queer people, myself included. not only that, but the way the characters are written-- when i joke about this film being the pixar fish version of "call me by your name" i'm not actually all-the-way kidding. this film, i feel, is so intertwined with queerness and the experience of growing up queer that it's really difficult to look at it and go, "okay, but they're not gay."
THAT BEING SAID. they shouldn't have been canonized. like, ever. that would have ruined the allegory luca presents. purposeful or not, whether the writers really did want to make them a thing, they shouldn't have been. i'm really glad they're not.
i'm not saying that every queer story ends in heartbreak. but i am saying that it's common for those pre-teen/teenaged formative experiences-- the ones where you're young and inexperienced and unsure because what if dad found out? or mom? those stories, those connections, they are almost bound to break your heart.
luca paints a picture of a story just like that. luca has a deep fascination for something that's forbidden. he takes a chance, befriends someone-- alberto, who's already crossed over into this other land-- and falls in love with all of it. he goes to great lengths to hide this from his parents. when they find out, they try to send him away to a place that will try to permanently change him and his perception of what he actually wants, so he decides to run away with this other, braver person instead.
they go to a town that's unwelcoming to a fatal extent. they have to stay hidden to survive. they make a friend-- but they can't even trust her, at first, since her father is one of the people that wants their kind dead. i could go on and on and on-- the point is, this all reads queer. allegorically, or within the film itself.
and the ending, the goodbye-- it's bittersweet, because this is something they're not ever going to be able to replicate. this has changed all of the characters, internally, in every way-- but especially the main two. it always gets me choked up, because i know that feeling. and a lot of other queer people do, too.
basically, they're not REALLY gay, but aren't they? when you watch luca as a queer film, everything gets so much worse, because the "what-could-have-been," or even the "what-could-be" becomes so glaringly obvious and beautifully awful. and it's GREAT. why would i want them to be boyfriends within the story itself, when what we're presented with already is so much more complicated and gut-wrenching, especially when you contextualize it with the time period? why would i want fanon luberto to be canon when canon luberto already fucking slaps?
tldr: luca and alberto are only kind of gay. the vague platonic-ness of the nature of their relationship plays to the strengths of the story itself. i am absolutely obsessed with this film
sorry if some of this is a little incoherent i refuse to proofread byebye
#pixar luca#luberto#THIS TOOK SO LONG WHAT THE HELLL#anyways read if you want i just needed to put this somewhere#i have a lot of feelings about this film </3

not defending the watcher guys at all, i think they made a shitty disappointing decision that alienated their fanbase & will probably lose them more money & support in the long run. and they have definitely lost my support butttt
im starting to not enjoy everyone painting steven lim in particular as a greedy ass billionaire supervillain LMAOOO i know we all hate tesla idc about dunking on him for that but all 3 of them have lifestyles that are unattainable by their audience! that plus constantly referencing shane saying "eat the rich" once or twice in videos where he was doing a bit in his deadpan/"weird" humor...hes not ur comrade shane and he never was. they made fun videos where their onscreen personalities seemed genuine & relatable but theyre not our friends. we dont know them as people
again, criticize ttheir business decisions all u want but implying steven lim eats caviar & gold 24/7 and thats why theyre charging money for videos is uh. starting to get weird
#i mostly shit on steven because of some of the stuff he's said and the people he associates himself with outside of watcher sometimes#but yeah they're all at least really quite well off and super out of touch#steven isn't a supervillain imo he's just kind of a dick

“The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I’m not a trannie or a fag so I don’t care, just give ‘em the medicine they need.”
“This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility.”
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
