ok so i went to a talk with rebecca sugar and ian jq and i totally forgot until now so here’s some fun things they talked about

- whenever theres a duo in either of their shows (ex: ruby and sapphire, rad and enid) it’s usually just their self-inserts lol

- enid was inspired by a store clerk who ian jq met who ignored a guy flirting with her the entire time ian was there

- they used to go to the roof of cartoon network and demo rebecca’s songs for adventure time and ian would spend the whole time trying to hype them up (guys they are so cute its insane.) 

- su’s goal was to have gay characters without them being the punchline 

- steven as a character was meant to help rebecca work through the revelation that she was bi and nonbinary (trans steven nation rise up)

- after ian stopped working on su, steven immediately became more miserable in the show

- the adventure time crew got in trouble after ‘what was missing’ bc cartoon network realized they were trying to hint at bubbline being a thing 

- rebecca sugar has The nicest voice oml 

(- also while they were talking about how dumb it is to censor queer ppl in kids show and i commented ‘period bestie go off’ and I think rebecca saw it because they looked so confused for a second (im so sorry mx. sugar))

- steven and ko are kind of the same character in a different font, both kids with immense trauma trying to protect what they love 

- ian came up for the idea of the boardwalk for su! 

- their advice to ppl trying to tell queer stories: ‘do it but don’t forget to take care of yourself and your mental health, nothing’s more important than that. also don’t think of animation as the only way to do it–do comics, books, anything’ 

Yeah so unfortunately, my friend was right. Muttering 'I'm gonna put on the greatest talent show this town has ever seen' darkly to myself is not only vastly funnier than saying I'm gonna kms, but is also somehow more concerning to anyone who might overhear it

basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.

if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out. 

unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.

These words scan with a fantastic degree of confidence considering that together they make no sense at all
