The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time.
Mothafreakin’ Disney’s Gargoyles, Season 2, Episode 4, “A Lighthouse In The Sea of Time.”
I know, right?

Not just “Disney”. A person came up with those words. Let’s not lose the talent, the gifted guy, in the shadow of the corporation, shall we?
The writer’s name is Greg Weisman.

Also DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT? It’s called “A Lighthouse in the Sea of Time” and it is about a blind man teaching a gargoyle to read. Hudson, the oldest of the gargoyle clan, is embarrassed about his illiteracy (hey, the guy grew up in 10th century Scotland), but coincidentally he meets and befriends a blind man (whose name escapes me at the mo – Jeffrey something) who of course cannot see that he is not human. Jeffrey teaches Hudson to read, at one point uttering the line above. Jeffrey is voiced by Paul Winfield is and is just one of DOZENS AND DOZENS of POC good guys and heroes in this show.
OH AND BY THE WAY THIS IS NOT A ONE-OFF, MANY EPISODES LATER THE FACT THAT HUDSON CAN READ IS ACTUALLY IMPORTANT TO THE PLOT.
I AM WORKING ON AN ENTIRE POST ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULD ALL WATCHING MOTHERFUCKING GARGOYLES.

This show was my fucking JAM as a kid. Eliza Maza was the badass, half black, half Native American female lead, and she was voiced by Salli Richardson. She was the BEST.

The character’s name is Jeffrey Robbins, and he is utterly awesome.
