I absolutely agree with the value of Beauty and the Beast and ranking it as the objectively best Disney movie, but I would like to challenge you on it nonetheless. Specifically on the argument I've seen levied against it the most, or at least most ferociously: It's 'problematic!'

Whether people reduce it to Stockholm syndrome, Lima syndrome, both or even neither, I know many people who don't like B&tB because the circumstances that brought Belle and the Beast together are quite loaded. Everyone in the castle, Beast included, is aware that this girl is likely their one shot at breaking this curse, so there's always a kind of external pressure on their relationship, even if it isn't always seen.

What's your take on that argument and/or similar ones that dismiss or dislike the love story because both parties were literally trapped in one form or another?

No, it's not problematic. The basis of that argument is that love is somehow negated by circumstance. But love is not at all about circumstance. Love is about choice, because it's a action—regardless of circumstance. If your circumstance keeps you from choosing, or forces your choice, it's not choice at all., and so it's not love.

Belle doesn't choose to love the Beast until after she gets to know him and he sets her free from her circumstance of staying with him. He doesn't set her free from her circumstance until he's decided he loves her in spite of his own—if he were letting his circumstance (the curse) dictate his love for her, he wouldn't have let her go.

It's a silly argument.

She was his—WILLING—prisoner. Willing. Which is no prisoner at all. She was not held there by his force or his decree; she held herself there by her promise, because she was taking the place of her father, who trespassed and offended a Master on his own land. She chose to be there; she didn't choose to love him based on any kind of proximity to him.

Hey I got a request!

Can you write a small platonic thing for Hinoka and Elise from Fire Emblem Fates?

It's just they can easily be best friends like, they both are the ones closest to the whole army since Hinoka knows the name of all the soldiers on their side and a tidbit about them and Elise knows all of their birthdays (both things are part of their descriptions).

They both are the closest to our character in their respective routes (Hinoka taking us flying and Elise just dragging us around in the respective endings and reaching for us at the end).

They have a support in Warriors where Hinoka teaches Elise how to do Origami and Hinoka admits that she is really thankful for the time to unwind because she has forgotten to do that more often than not.

And I just think they are adorable as friends and would like to see more of that

hi, heyo, hello, you can't see it, but im outside your window with a "IM SORRY THIS TOOK TOO LONG" banner o(TヘTo)

I haven't really been consuming Fire Emblem stuff in so, so long so im so sorry if they're OOC as fuuuu

I hope it's good enough uwaaaaa

Kanpai! (Platonic!Hinoka x Elise)

“Is this the right place?” The Hoshidan Princess looked at the gaudy, aubergine-hued invitation; flowery lettering in gold shining whenever the sun hit it just right. Her eyes flickering between the signage and the invitation in her gloved hand. M-Maybe bringing her pegasus and weapon wasn’t the brightest idea given that she’s the only one in battle gear and everyone around is, well, in normal clothes. Hinoka quickly elected to just, ah, find the nearest stable for her steed to stay at. As for the naginata…

*Scoot, scoot.* *Attaches naginata to saddle strap.* *Calmly, non-suspiciously walks out.*

Hinoka cleared her throat, taking a moment to bask in sun; it’s midday, a brilliant blue, puffy splashes of white decorating the sky. It almost feels like she hasn’t left Hoshido just to meet a certain someone. Though the winds here didn’t have the bloom of pink Sakura leaves every now and then.

Ah spring.

Hinoka headed back to that…tea shop? Actually, what is it? She smelt brews of bitter and creamy back then, but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly the establishment was. All that was mentioned in that invitation was that it was a blend of Hoshidan and Nohrian cuisine. Mostly focusing on drinks. Hinoka didn’t dwell too much, she’d figure she’d figure that out once she stepped in.

Pushing the door open, she was assaulted by different smells, both warm and cold, some sweet, others noticeably powerful and…alcohol? B-But why would she—

“Hinoka, over here!” The red-haired princess heard, attention snapping to the source; a fair girl with hair tied in neat twintails, almost bigger than her in their girth and just as long as she was short.

“Princess Elise, hello.” Hinoka noted how her greeting sounded a tad too distant, Elise pouting in turn, purplish-pink eyes narrowing at the older woman. “Oh c’mon no need for formalities, we’re supposed to be friends!” She huffed, though her displease was quickly erased when a waitress appeared to Elise’s table, serving a bunch of colorful drinks, in Nohrian glass and Hoshidan ceramics.

“Please don’t tell me those are alcoholic.” Hinoka propped down at the plush chair across Elise who beamed at her. Hinoka almost thought she saw some sparkles there.

“Nope! They do serve drinks with alcohol in them but the ones I ordered for ours are teas, and sweet drinks.”

“Oh? What for?”

“Well, I figured since our kingdoms made peace after the war and Valla and Father and everything, I figured a little cultural exchange between us two is due. Why not start with drinks?” Elise picked up a ceramic cup that smelled faintly of earth and roast. Elise took a whiff before presenting it to Hinoka to inspect.

“Hojicha.”

“How gee sha?”

“Ho-ji-cha.”

“Hojisha!”

Hinoka gave a chuckle in response. “Close enough.”  Watching Elise drink the slightly bitter golden drink. “Roasty! A bit nutty, what is it?”

“Wouldn’t asking the establishment about their drink get you more answers?” Hinoka tilted her head, taking a glass mug and sniffing the strongly bitter wafting off the mud-colored hot liquid. W-What…?

“Well, I could, but I’d rather you tell me about it. Seeing as it’s Hoshidan and all.” Elise said, watching Hinoka’s reaction to the Nohrian beverage. “Oh, that’s coffee. I didn’t know whether you like yours with cream so I ordered a black roast instead, you can put milk in it though.”

“Kohi?”

“Coffee.”

“Koff-ee.”

“Close enough!”

Taking that into account, Hinoka took a sip, she wanted to taste it before she put milk, and she was greeted by a very strong bitter taste that woke her right up. Not even Takumi-prepared green tea tasted this bitter.

“No wonder you didn’t flinch when you drank hojicha, even I’m not taken by its taste.” Hinoka said, pouring a generous amount of milk and sugar into the coffee, dying it a creamy caramel color. Taking a sip, she leaned back, her lips curling upwards.

Elise meanwhile, decided to target the green tea, earning a perplexed look from Hinoka that quickly turned into mortification when Elise finished the entire thing. Still wearing that cheery smile.

“K-Kanpai?”

“Cheers!”

Do you per chance have a list of seb//aciel shippers? I ask cuz no matter what I do or how many I block these damn pedos keep popping up and I am so tired. I think a list would make it easier so I don't keep getting jumpscared by "this post contains filtered tags"

(I am fully convinced every single seb//aciel shipper is just a pedophile trying to normalize it though their fucked up nasty ship tbqh)

Not really 😭 I instantly block all the shippers I come across so I don't bother remembering their users

"So what's you're problem? Why are you treating Dennis like a plaything?"

…”Why not?” Who says this is simply entertainment. “The little color that drained from his face was quite enjoyable.” What a dastardly crooked smile on her face. “Besides. Not like he was ever in any real danger.”

Do you think that briggsy and other torbek get along or is it just rivalry?? Or something

I mean for me at least this might change (or probably) change in the future considering how much and what we learn about the other in the future, but right now I don't really have any headcanons about how they would realistically interact

As I see them now, The Other doesn't really care about what Torbek thinks of Briggsy, and just enjoys it when he can annoy Briggsy.

But eh, I don't put much thought into The Other right now, since we don't know much about him yet

when did steven universe say anything about god?

Out loud? Never. But every story that is an actual story is offering you a worldview. Steven Universe has a pretty explicitly anti-God-of-the-Bible worldview. It's not just because of the pro LGBTQ+ stuff (that's nothing new.) It's mainly because of White Diamond, her specific characterization and powers, and how the antidote to her "bad" worldview is the phrase "if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs."

Steven Universe doesn't say anything about God literally. But it has a strangely large amount of specific things to say about the God-of-the-Bible symbolically, thematically, metaphorically--whatever you want to call "the language of storytelling."

Just like Kung Fu Panda never says one word about self-empowerment, not literally. But it is impossible to ignore that it's about self-empowerment, and says so in everything but words.

I'm getting a lot of questions about the Steven Universe comment, so a more in-depth explanation is probably coming in a different post. Because I watched the show all the way through--because it's incredibly well-done (for the most part) and I understand why others enjoy it. But that's what's scary about it.

Do you regret teaching Naruto your secret jutsu "A Thousand Years of Death"?

Hmm...Should I? The point of that Jutsu is to stress the importance of 'not letting an enemy get behind you'. In the world of Shinobi this could prove fatal. I'd say this lesson was hard learned, but necessary. Though I didn't count on Naruto copying the technique, it just goes to show that no jutsu worth its salt is wasted. Knowledge is power and all that.
