I love the new season of Phineas and Ferb
Forever thinking about how the Us Against the Universe is a celebration of the powerful bonds the PnF characters have with their family and friends...and then they jumpcut to Perry smiling and dancing by himself in the shadows where no one else can see him cause you know, OWCA sucks.
Even Heinz, who has series-wide issues with loneliness and struggling to form connections, has his daughter hugging him in the ending song!
And Perry is just smiling cause he's okay with his family being safe and sound, and also there's a whole song in this movie about how Perry works hard in the background for everyone's safety and he won't ever ask to be acknowledged for it and my point is that the real victim of CATU is Perry and in this essay I will-
xena gave us trans drag lesbianism as a treat
There are layers to this. Earlier in the episode, Xena discovers her secret while they're sharing a locker room. A woman she has got naked with turned out to be trans. It's the exact scenario terfs are always fear-mongering about, but Xena just shrugs it off.
Also, the kiss was a big deal not just because it was gay but because the trans actress was HIV positive. They wanted to show the world that you can't contract HIV just from kissing someone. Bear in mind, the AIDS crisis was still fresh on people's minds in the 90s.
Happy Pride.

I just think there's lots of potential for Monty Python references (no Doof is not flipping him off. They've only got 3 fingers)
