Mirabel: I feel like I’m the third wheel.

Isabela, sat in Lili’s lap: What gave you that idea?

Dolores, cuddled beside Mariano: Yes, you shouldn’t heed baseless rumours like that.

Luisa, kissing Marta: You’re worth so much more, hermanita.

Camilo, sharing an arepa with Marco: Yeah, you’re our family!

cartoon movies's deeper meaning explained by an autistic depressed transgender masc PT. 1

Disney's Encanto (Written by Castro Smith and Bush); Beside from the obvious answer here, generational trauma, this story also shows how the inside of a family and it's history does not reflect how the family is like, alma for example or abuela-- she lost her husband which is the reason Encanto was born, the candle that gave them this town is grief, and how accepting your grief and not denying it gets you further in life then ignoring it. Isabela, Mirabel and Luisa on the other hand deal with trying to meet everyone else's expectations, Luisa feels like she needs to be strong physically and emotionally, Mirabel feels like if she can't have a power she needs to make up for that, Isabela deals with trying to satisfy other people and deny her own personal morals so others can be happy where they are instead of her. I personally think especially Mirabel is a good example of this entire spectrum, let me explain; Mirabel knows and thinks she has no gift ans she is put that because of this, Her family meanwhile-- At least everyone else who has a gift knows and honors their gift and use that to define themselves, though people like Felix and Augustus are very big exceptions because they married into the family, but Mirabel still has no gift. I strongly belief that this movie is trying to show not only has trauma falls upon younger generations but how self-worth is important. Remember, Mirabel thinks she has nothing, no gift, that she is not special not unique, which I think it's important that they realize that people feel this way because it's something everyone can understand, children and adults, even know-- I consider myself very mature but I can preform and sing this song, with and without emotion and even without emotions my eyes start watering from the pain and lack of self recognition.

Some of the TMNT fandom (and, frankly, society) really ain't shit.🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

[From left to right: Princess Fiona (Ogress Form) (Shrek) Eep (The Croods) Gloria (Madagascar) Dijonay Jones (The Proud Family) Luisa Madrigal (Encanto) April O'Neil (TMNT Mutant Mayhem)]

These ladies are female protagonists in their respective franchises. All of them have different body types that contrast from the default thin, petite body type that we're used to seeing. And all of them are BEAUTIFUL! 💖

Three of these ladies became love interests that ended up in healthy relationships with partners who love them for who they are. Also, four of them are women of color. (idk if Fiona counts. While she is green, she started off white so... 50/50? 🤷🏾‍♀️) That part is especially relevant to this post because Twitter got me EFFED UP. I'M ON ONE, ON TWO, ON THREE TODAY!

So the concept art of Mutant Mayhem's April O'Neil was revealed by James A. Castillo, an artist who worked on the movie.

And people are DRAGGING HIM LEFT AND RIGHT! Being disrespectful to both him and April's design. I can tell you right now not even a third of those quotes aren't positive! There is a vast difference between criticism and insults:

💛"I do not like this design. Besides the color yellow and her red/ginger hair, she simply doesn't read as April O'Neil." That's criticism. This expresses disproval of the design without any vulgarities.

💔"Rethink your entire career. "Artist" my ass! This shit is garbage! She looks like she sleeps in a van and smokes so much weed she reeks of it. You failed." That's disrespect. And I don't think I need to tell you why.

Normally, I tend not to discuss such sensitive topics on my blog (religion, politics, discrimination of ANY kind, etc.) for my sanity and out of respect for others with opposing views. But today, I will make an exception.

I would love to include Luisa, who alongside April was mocked and disrespected heavily for her appearance, but I wanted to speak on this matter from the perspective of a plus-sized African American woman. Luisa comes from an completely different background whose culture and standards I am not entirely familiar with. I can't speak on what I don't know. Respectfully.💜

In the black community, women are faced with colorism, texturism, constant comparison, and body image negativity on a daily basis. And a good amount of it comes from our own community! Our shade, our 4C hair, our weight, our attractiveness, our lifestyle! It's brutal out here!😭😭😭

However, in terms of media a plus-sized black girl is seen as ghetto, loud, and undesirable with a side of attitude. The best example I can think of is Dijonay from The Proud Family.

This is the show I grew up on! The theme song, the characters, the Suga Mama, ICONIC! I love Dijonay to pieces, but as I grew up I realize that she was, in some aspects, a negative portrayal. She was always chasing instead of being "the chase". She was a horrible friend to Penny. And she sucumbed to a lot of negative stereotypes with barely any redeeming qualities. And this was very disheartening considering that she was the darkest one in the group. And the heaviest. And as a little chubby wubby in the 2000s with THIS as my representation? I have to give the writers a bit of the side eye. Was she any better in The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder? To that I would say.... meh. I love her in the reboot, but they could do so much more with her in my opinion. I still haven't seen them address the issue of colorism. 👀

While she is not a human, Gloria is voiced by a black woman (Jada Pinkett Smith) and imitates the sass of a black woman so... yeah. She's included. Gloria was persued by two men. One was the suave, flexing hippo Motto Motto. And the other was her friend/neighbor from her childhood Melman. She chose the latter for good reason of course. Now in Madagascar, Gloria wasn't mocked or criticized for her weight. In fact, hippos are known for their weight. However, she was seemingly fetishized for it. By Motto Motto to be exact. And being fetishized is NOT better than being ridiculed.

Unlike Dijonay, April was the chase, a love interest for Leonardo. I admit, I was SHOCKED that she was gonna be persued. Let alone that the writers wanted to try another Turtle/April pairing considering how April and Donnie went...😬. Now her backlash was on a completely different level. One that I wasn't even prepared for....

While Gloria and Dijonay are original characters, Mutant Mayhem's April O'Neil is a different interpretation of the character that has existed since the 80's. The same can be said for the Turtles, Splinter, literally everybody else! Every show and movie for that matter! And with every story, she changes. Design, motivation, relationships/dynamics, even race as of lately. All of it changes. And change isn't bad. In my opinion, it keeps things fresh and interesting instead of spoon feeding us the same story and concepts over and over again. Change challenges us. Change motivates us. However, some people don't like change nor want to accept it and adjust. And that's life. That's just the way it is. But change is necessary in order to progress.

She wasn't bad in the movie AT ALL. I absolutely adored her! And the dynamic between her and Leo wasn't akward or uncomfortable at all. It was handled really well. Ayo Ediberi did an incredible job bringing her to life! (GOD, I loved her in The Bear! Shameless plug lol)

That being said, I understand some of the sensitivity that fans have when a character changes so drastically you can barely recongnize them anymore beyond the bare minimun. (See also Sonic Boom's Knuckles) But the blatant discrimination, rude comments, and the boldness, THE AUDACITY, that some of these nasty Twitter fingers with their dirty fingernails have to type such disrespect to the artist that I can't repeat up here was wild af. Like, I can't believe we have to share a planet with some of them! Uggh!😷(But that's Twitter 24/7 so what's new?) Her and Rise April don't deserve the hate they get. You don't have to like them. Art is subjective. But to insult and harrass the artists and the people who look like the characters, then mask it under the umbrella of "tHaTs mY oPiNiOn" is 🐱. I said what I said. And I will say that shit again.

Also, just because she's black doesn't mean we can't have another white April O'Neil ever again. We know goodness well they could make another iteration of TMNT and make her white if they wanted to. Heck, I encourage them to explore other races and cultures too! New York is full of them! And it's not like all the other versions of April up and vanished. You can watch them anytime on Hulu, Netflix, Paramount Plus, etc.

One more point I'd like to make is that I am an African American woman who is currently on a weight loss journey. As a plus-sized girl, I had incredibly low self-esteem and picked up toxic, unhealthy eating habits from starving myself to overeating BECAUSE I starved myself. Also, I have experienced both sides from being disrespected and made fun of to being complimented and persued. I was at my biggest weight 2 years ago and I have made incredible progress to lose weight since then. People can lose weight. It is achievable! I went to school with some people who were way bigger than me that lost the weight by senior year! Just because she's big in this movie doesn't mean she can't lose weight by the sequel. Like I've said before, it's not wrong to encourage health and fitness!💪🏾 In life, they call this a glow up. A "remember how you treated them in high school" type of comeback. People can, and are allowed to, change. And it's not wrong to embrace your body and the skin you're in. It's all relative!💖

This post isn't to convince you to change your mind. And it won't make the bullies go away. I can't change the world overnight, nor am I trying to. At the end of the day, you're the consumer. It's your choice. Your prefrence. I can't tell you how to think.

I just wanted to spread a bit of awareness that plus sized people exist. And they will always exist. Everyone is deserving of representation in media in all facets. No matter their shape, size, shade, or sexuality. There are so many people from different walks of life who deserve to be seen and on screen. And the amount of visibility for black girls this year alone is amazing! And I want the same for other women of color, too!

Don't let this trash ass society and the people in it who prefer AI/robots over human beings, fake over real, and bad over good tell you otherwise. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YES I AM TALKING TO YOU. YOU ARE AMAZING! YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE AND MORE. YOUR STORY CAN CHANGE LIVES. BEING A GOOD, HARD WORKING PERSON DOES PAY OFF IN THE LONG RUN! YOU ABSOLUTELY MATTER IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT. WE SEE YOU. I SEE YOU. AND I ADORE YOU. RAISE YOUR SELF ESTEEM, ADJUST YOUR CROWN, WEAR IT PROUD, AND DO YOUR BEST!

Be good to one another. Take care.

Idk i just love this style

Luisa Madrigal is bisexual and has the bracelets to prove it!

Bruno Madrigal is aromantic and delighted that his flag colors match his ruana

(Feel free to use as icons)

Sequel to my previous polls, these are suggestions I’ve been given based on different properties/media.

In case you want help to decide, here’s what I can currently tell you about each:

Alice in Wonderland: follows Antonio in Wonderland, after he follows a rabbit down a hole and so on… (you know the story, you’re just here for the character designs, aren’t you?)

Arcane: my long awaited AU that I have already shared some art for, follows Isabela and Luisa

Beetlejuice: Bruno fans, this one is for you because guess who’s playing the lead demon? Oh, and Dolores is here too

Bridgerton: like Heartstopper, this is mainly for the purpose of romance but make it regency

Carrie: I have several potential characters in mind for our leading lady, most likely Isabela or Dolores. But Pepa or even Bruno are also up there

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind: yeah, sorry Mirabel, I’m taking your memories from you

Heathers: because Luisa (Jess) as Veronica and Isabela (Diane) as Chandler was so iconic to me

Influenced by Fairytales: I have nothing for this currently

Some pirate thing: the Madrigals but as pirates, enough said

Some superhero thing: because watching Diane in Doom Patrol gave me inspiration, okay?

The Owl House: I don’t have many ideas for this currently, just potential headcanons

Winx Club: similarly, I don’t have any plans currently, just transformation ideas

Hi! I’m Nova. The older twin. I’m 15 and I’m into a lot of things. (Yeah, mainly fighting! Shut up, Noemi. This is my introduction!). I’m a track star at school and can usually be found hanging out with my novio, Carlos Madrigal. Ask me anything!

Hello! I’m Noemi, also fifteen. Give me flowers and I might cry, forreal. I’m the younger and better looking twin (yeah right. Think you’ll find I’m the better looking one, hermanita.) I enjoy football and all other types of sports. You’ll usually find me hanging out with Luisa or Camilo (her cruuuuuush. Shut up, Nova!).

-—————————-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-—————————-

Dunno why but because of ur profile picture I keep thinking that's just what you look like so everytime I see you post I'm just like "oh sweet mirabel posted!" And yea that's that

Oooooownt thanks for calling me sweet Mirabel ><

But yeeees, I choosed to use Mirabel as my icon because she is the Disney character who I feel that most resembles me in a physical way. If I had to choose another Madrigal for be my personality, would be totally Luisa.

Before her, I really relate with Raya, because of our eyes and skin tone. However, Mirabel got me more because of her hair. (Even that my actual hair is closest to Antonio's)

Anyway Thanks for noticing ><
