Garnet is so important okay I need to rant about it for a second cuz okay most “magical girls” or “super heroines” or what-have-you characters are almost always thin, light skinned, slender, “cute”, uber feminine, extremely sexualized, or even mean and cold.

Garnet gives little black girls, who have never had good representation reflecting themselves, a chance to see a hero that looks like them! it helps them to see themselves in powerful roles, in leadership roles, and in strong roles and helping others and being a hero.

She is dark skinned, tall, has large thighs, big hair, isn’t at all sexualized, strong in her own right and her heart is so warm under all that stoic she wears in her attitude.

Garnet is amazing and I’m so glad she exists, I’m so glad she portrays a heroine with a darker skin and just breaks the mold and is as respected and respectable as any other super girl ever made. GOD BLESS THIS SHOW AND GOD BLESS GARNET.

#i think people should consider reblogging posts on black characters as well today #since they need to be represented in media WAY more #and garnet is such a positive influence #and estelle does such an amazing job with this role
