Never Giving Up · 2:44am May 26th, 2022
Apologizes in advance for the rant, I just need to get something off my chest. Some of you know this, some don't. For those of you that don't, my favorite show 'The Owl House' had it's third and final season cut down to three specials, barely making it a season anyone. All because Disney doesn't think it 'fits the Disney brand', which is total BS and we know it. Some of the higher ups are just homophobes. They proved that when they tried to cut the same-sex kiss scene in 'Lightyear' and briefly supporting the 'Don't Say Gay Bill'.
They won't be satisfied until they stamp out everything LGBTQ related. I refuse to let them have their way, just like how I refuse to let them cancel my favorite show. It may be too late for the third season, but a fourth season is still possible, I know it. That's why I've been trying to promote the petition that's trying to save it however I can. Here's the link btw.
I've posting said link on multiple Instagram posts plus Tumblr and other places, gave a little money to change.org in order to spread it, and also been mailing Disney for the past five months, begging them not to cancel it. It's not a huge lot, but it's something and I'm not giving up. Everybody keeps telling me that there's no point, that the decision has been made and we should accept it, enjoy the last bits while we can, basically telling me to give up.
But like I said, I don't give up. Yes, the situation is kinda bleak and impossible and the possibility of failure exists, but I've heard it's kind of pathetic to give up on something before you even give it a shot. Again, I know it might be pointless, but at least I'm trying to save something I care about. I'm even considering getting myself a twitter and facebook account all for the purpose of sharing the petition and getting it attention, something I constantly said I'd never do. It'd be a bitter pill to swallow, but I just might do it, because that's how much I care.
As for the people I mentioned that told me to quit, all they do is just try to get others to give up. I'd like to know when and if they ever tried to fight for something worthwhile. To hell with them I say. Now there are bigger issues in the world, I will not deny that, but the Owl House is something special, it's something many people from the LGBTQ community never had growing up as a kid, something that shows that being homosexual is completely fine and not something to fear.
While I myself am not gay, I fully support the LGBTQ community and I say the homophobes are the ones who should be canceled, for life. I don't know if others are sending Disney mail about it, snail mail is the only kind they read apparently, but I really doubt I'm the only one who is, nor do I think that I'm the only guy on the planet who feels the same way.
Still, I keep encountering people that think the whole thing is a lost cause. It wouldn't be too much to ask to encounter someone who feels the way I do and supports it, not to mention doing as much as I have to save the show. The pessimists say the the plot is all done up and there's nothing more to tell, but I respectfully disagree. There's always more story to tell, just look at all the Owl House fanfics people have written.
If you need an example of the fans winning and a show getting revived, just look at Young Justice. I also thought it was over and nothing could be done about it, but then, three years after it's supposed series finale, they said it was getting revived and there was apparently a campaign about reviving it, one I didn't know about because I had just accepted it, but I'm glad to know I was wrong and that it finally came back.
The point is, even if it takes years, I will get it continued. Even if it ends, even after it ends, I'll still keep trying. Yeah, I'm a special kind of stubborn. Been that way literally since I was born.
