DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION My Body Is a Cage Pt. 1 (10x15)

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

i love adam torres so much. as much as i do have problems w some of the storylines that degrassi gave him, it doesn't matter because any trans character in media is so FUCKING IMPORTANT. when adam is introduced his mom and brother are both struggling (especially his mom) with adjusting to his coming out (and also being straight up transphobic and crazy) and what not but by season 12 his mom tells him that they should start trying to get him on testosterone and its just so fucking. oh my god. idk adam's story gave me so much hope as a kid and hearing his mom say "im so proud of the man youre becoming" still makes me tear up. i love being trans

"You don't want me. Face it Fiona, you want a girl."

finally reached season 10 of degrassi and gOD the amount of brainrot i’m having of early fiona like her dependency with declan, her issues with alcohol, her inability to make friendships with other people are all explored in-depth later on but to see it now is just UGH. like her saying to holly j “why can’t i be happy? like you and declan? it’s like i’m not built the same way” and how it points to her mental illness AND her lesbianism???

Also it’s not a t70s character BUT thoughts on Adam from degrassi? 👀👀👀

He’s honestly an angel. Very kind and compassionate. Should’ve never died.

when i suggested i might do this on my main blog some of you expressed mild interest, so i've decided to give the people what they want and make a degrassi: the next generation character tournament.

i'm keeping this to opening credit tng characters (there will be two characters who aren't in the opening credits but whose presence looms so large that they had to be included anyway) because it was the only way i could make the math work, and also i thought it would be unfair to the degrassi junior high and degrassi high characters to set them against the tng kids. if this gains some traction and people are interested, maybe i'll do separate polls for the ogs and the next class kids (although many of them are featured in the tng polls as well) after we're done with the tng tournament.

i'm going to post the qualifying rounds later today. they'll consist of sixteen groups of five. i made the lists using a randomizer. the least voted character in each round will be disqualified, while the other four will move on to the main tournament. that way i'll narrow 80 main characters down to 64. i'll also be using these qualifiers to help seed the bracket. qualifying polls will be week-long.

this is the most math i've done willingly since high school so i hope you all appreciate the sacrifices i'm making here.

eli & clare were wasted being forced together when eli could've been kidsing boys *cough* ADAM *cough*
