"so happy to see queer artists being casted for queer roles"

[therearewords]

Amen.

[champagnexdream]

Love them both. Stoked for this!

I will definitely be supporting this.

(Just realized this is Hulu so I am once again screaming in Canadian, but I find a lot of their stuff goes to "Star" on Disney Plus so hopefully that happens here.

Hold up, isn't Rowan that girl who said she identifies as queer because she may someday experience same sex attraction, but hasn't yet? Did people just let that slide?

She was like 14 when she said that. I feel like at that age I had a limited understanding of myself despite having queer feelings. Now I am a whole ass bisexual and happily dating a woman.

I’m willing to given Rowan some grace in being clumsy about her sexuality at 14

at that age i already had (girl) friends saying ew i could never be friends with a lesbian and the boys were raging homophobes too so the fact that she's like 'queer bc you never know', i'll take it idc

[britneys]

I thought she was older for some reason. I take back my original comment then!

But will Auli’i also play the twin sister? I may need it if we don't get another Princess Switch sequel this year, I need that chaotic green screen energy.

[baekpedaling]

It'll probably be another actress who looks vaguely like her. Which reminds me that Rowan was literally in a Disney movie with a "twin" like that lol

[mojo_malone]

Haha it's always a missed opportunity! I mean I'll still watch it and support the youths but my enjoyment will be tainted 💁🏽‍♀️
