Josephine’s voice actress is a wonderful person.

It’s also very important that to acknowledge that Josephine is a bisexual woman of color. Queer women of color have almost no representation in media (as well as queer people of color of ANY gender), and receive more discrimination than a white queer person would.

Josephine Montilyet is a very important character!! ((Also, her romance is adorable. Like, for real. Do it.))

crrrrrreeeeeepin’ on my tag here sorry for being awkward XD

Thank you for adding that! Josephine’s status as a queer woman of color even more specifically adds layers to her storyline that are equally as important to discuss. Especially as a bi woman of color to have a romance that doesn’t emphasize sex (which isn’t to say it isn’t there, depending on your interpretation, but that regardless it refuses to show it) … it’s really amazing to see her narrative focus on an idealized romance, the likes of which we see a looooot more often with straight, white women. I’m really grateful that we’re able to have these conversations—and, heck, that I get to witness people having these conversations rather than just rolling around on my floor being excited about the intersectional implications of the things I was recording.

(That was an overcomplicated way to express how much “^THIS” I am feeling at the OP so … yay!)

ALSO UH THANK YOU FOR THINKING I’M WONDERFUL…..
