Amphibia gay

She is relentless in her affection, using terms that one just might reserve for a romantic partner. The girl across from them, Marcy Wu, was now impaled by the king's sword. As a pansexual trans girl I can say with confidence that being queer can be a fucking nightmare sometimes. Sharp comedic timing and sweet dialogue help this episode shine, and as expected, social media hopped on these gay little nuggets and shouted about them from the rooftops.

But she’s also 13, and is still figuring out that part of herself that we don’t really have the right to interfere with. I still think she’s fruitier than a bag of jelly beans, but as much as I wish the journal cemented that, it’s far from the end of the world that it doesn’t. Either way, immediately comparing every single slither of representation to the gay witches isn’t a good thing.

The majority of fans I’ve interacted with across The Owl House, She-Ra, and Amphibia fandoms have been delightful, happy to introduce me to parts of the fanbase I wasn’t aware of or mentioned they’d seen some of my work in the past, slowly but surely labelling me as the Queen of Queer Cartoons across the internet.

Sasha and Grime jump in just before it closes.

All but Marcy wake up on the side walk next to a busy road. When Dana Terrace’s show first began airing last year a fandom quickly formed around it, with many migrating from She-Ra and forming similar expectations around what it might accomplish in terms of queer representation.

I’m of the opinion that she is currently seeking shelter in a closet made of painfully thin glass, and the sapphic connotations of her comments will come to light long after she has returned home and grown as a person.

Marcy’s queer identity remains a mystery, yet I can’t help but feel inspired by how much the journal has fans treating her as some sort of gay icon.

I still remember being blown away at Ruby and Sapphire’s wedding and how the narrative was able to be honest about two girls loving one another, it even popped the more masculine Ruby into a dress so censors couldn’t possibly question her gender.

This show set the foundation for additional milestones like She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Ever since its premiere, fans have conjured up pairings and taken the canon ideas so much further, whether it be through fics, art, or seeing themselves in potentially queer and neurodivergent characters finding their place in a new world. Even if they aren’t what you expected or don’t reach the level of previous milestones, all are worth celebrating.
