Have You Ever Had Cartoon Crushes?
I think maybe most people had cartoon crushes as a kid or something. I’m one of them.
Here are a list of characters I had childhood crushes on:
1. Starfire(Teen Titans 2003)
2. Raven(Teen Titans 2003)
3. Max Goof(Goofy Movies)
4. Danny Fenton(Danny Phantom)
5. Katara(ATLA)
6. Leonardo(TMNT 2012)
7. Li Shang (Mulan)
8. Trunks (Dragon Ball)
9. Finn (Adventure Time)
10. Flora (Winx Club)
There might be more but these are the ones I remember from the top of my head.
I just once, ONCE, wanna see y/n fight back. I'm tired of all these crybabies, weak, petite, weak-willed, non-ambitious y/ns.
I think it's time to write about strong, ambitious, passionate, good-hearted, willed and not scared to face challenges Y/n.
And please for the love of god dont describe how they look, not all of us are blondes with blue eyes and 4'11, with a crappy sense of fashion!!
That's all I want to say, hope y'all have a good day/night/evening/afternoon and others 🙌🏼
Mulan modern au
Can we have a modern au of Mulan but with no war? Mulan is just a genderfluid person, but assigned female at birth, trying to survive their new internship at company/gym/security business when they develop a crush on Shang, who’s father owns the business. But Shang has only ever seen Mulan on masculine or Non binary days ad therefore gender shenanigans still occur. We just get loads of supportive Asian grandmas, confused but supportive friends and Mulan being kick ass.
Please?
(Decided to do something a little different :3 I know it isn’t CGI but I thought this might be fun to post too!)

Third part of my Mulan AU ! Wei Wuxian used demonic cultivation to save Lan Wangji’s life and exposed himself. LWJ has no choice but to banish him.

Unpopular opinion abt Mulan live action : That movie is actually good, but not at being Mulan.
Let me explain, live action Mulan is a girl who's naturally talented. And I liked that. I liked the fact that her talent could have been to waste because she's a woman. She's talented, like many other women living on this earth, but her talent wasn't acknowledged because she was a woman. That reminds me of that sentence : “How many Einstein’s have spent their lives washing dishes, how many Mozart’s bent over stoves instead of pianos, because they had the misfortune of being born a woman?”
I think that's what the movie was actually talking about. The fact that talented girls go to waste, because they're lucky enough to be men. And I liked that.
But, the real Mulan isn't naturally talented. And that's why the live action kinda weird me out. Mulan had to work to be like that. She used her intelligence to defeat ennemis. She had difficulties, but went past that because she's determined, more than anyone. That was the meaning of the movie. The fact that Mulan had to work her ass off just success.
Live action Mulan and actual Mulan are totally different. That's why I don't think that movie should have been a live action Mulan, but something else. Something highly inspired by Mulan, but not Mulan. And that's lowkey disappointing that such a movie went to waste bc they used Mulan as a main character, while only taking her name and not her actual struggles.
what a description of their characters
Imagine meeting the most handsome goofiest genderweird butch you've ever seen and she has a dedicated probably monogamous boyfriend who to be fair is actually a pretty cool dude and you're devastated that you can't shoot your shot. Then you find out that up until last year boyfriend was certain he was gay and then he met this handsome goofy genderweird butch and was like oh I like women. Or at least women who are also men sometimes. So I'm bisexual. Also to make things more confusing they're both veterans who are actually pretty staunchly anti-military and hate every admiral they've ever encountered and the butch only went into the military because she desperately needed healthcare coverage for her father and the boyfriend was like. A legacy military brat who realized this is all pretty fucked actually. Congratulations you have encountered modern day Mulan and Li Shang
Syoaran's Ancestry
So, I was watching Mulan and Cardcaptor Sakura alternatively, when I noticed the last names of the lead men.
Li.
Wasn't it the woman/mother who was Chinese, and the man/father the English/British as Clow Reed's parents?
I also noticed that Shang married Mulan- who in the military, was accompaniee by a magical spirit dragon.
WHAT IF! Because Mushu (said dragon) took a liking(as companions/daughters) to the female of Fa-Li family's children, he started teaching them magic.
(We all know his age is not as simple as we thought, and he might be more than a decade or century old.)
So, by the time the English/ British had invaded China, the (Fa) Li families descendants is attuned to Asian magic.
That just means that Syoaran is a direct descendant of Mulan and Shang.
It also explains the attitude/personality:
Syoaran has Shang's temper, has Mulan's shyness towards their crushes, and both their skills in martial arts.
His sister's are like Grandma Fa, very playful.
It also make sense that Clow's parents became close in the first place.
Both families are distinguished. So both will be welcomed in the high society, leading them to meet.
That's all!!
I've actually always wanted to post this, but always forgot.
As a trans man, I HEAVILY relate to Mulan. Even if she is not trans I just do. Her transformation scene, becoming the soldier, makes me either grin like an idiot or wanna cry. Sometimes both.
Does anyone get me???
AND THE MUSIC?!?!? DURING THAT SCENE?!? PHENOMENAL
Crying is okay, running away is okay, pretending to be a man so you can be a soldier is okay, falling in love with your captain is okay, winning a war and honouring your family is okay. Do what you need to cope
in honour of pride month, here are some characters that i think/hc as queer (btw its fucking random):
Li shang - hes a lil bisexual like. the looks that he gave ping (aka mulan) were not hetero and obvi hes attracted to mulan as well so. mulan actually ate that up pulled him as a guy amd a girl
jake peralta (bi) - is it canon cause i think it should be
isabela (encanto) - no one can tell me she isnt lesbian like she has no interests other than growing flowers she DOES NOT CARE ABT MEN
sejanus plinth - he was GAYYYYY like in love with coryo the entire fucking time
art and patrick from challengers - theyre gay for each other. based PURELY on the shittons of tiktoks that have come up on my fyp. theyre gay for each other
eloise and cressida - they are L E S B I A N S your honour i rest my case
i will be doing more but its like too late and i have school so
