#Never Too Old For Disney

[shnippers]

Roy needs to watch Encanto with Phoebe and relate to Luisa (the strong sister). He can listen to Surface Pressure and maybe he can allow himself some joy.

Thought that made me sit straight up in bed and say “God damn!”: I first saw the trailer for Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire on a VHS tape of the movie Dinosaur. The next year, my parents bought our first ever dvd player and Atlantis was the first dvd we ever got. This was like in 2001/2002. The beginning of a new century and technology was already advancing at a rapid pace… Now we have streaming and such and, damn, do I feel old!

I also think it’s cool that they released Atlantis at the beginning of a new century while the movie took place in the previous century (1914). And it just blows my mind to realize how much of an influence this film had on me: This is the film that introduced me to my love for history (specifically the early 1900’s). Helga Sinclair’s little flip back onto the hot air balloon inspired me to try out gymnastics. Yes, with some help, I actually used to be able to do that on the bars.

Also, Milo-freaking-Thatch! This guy gave me hope in a time in my life where I was a scared and confused little kid. I just remember tiny me going into the first grade the previous year: Brand new school, I was grieving the loss of my cat/dealing with my first experience with death and on top of it all, was aware for the first time in my life that I was VERY different from other children my age. I didn’t get formally diagnosed with ADHD until a few years later but even as a child I knew I didn’t fit in at all. I liked things other kids didn’t, was extremely socially inept and god did I read a lot of books! Anyway, here I am, a neurodivergent little girl who felt excluded and isolated from the other kids and here comes this skinny, kind, brave goofball of a guy with an ancient journal and a dream to find the lost city of Atlantis! Here is Milo James Thatch struggling to fit in with the rest of the group and, at times, getting left out just like me! Here is a guy who’s trying his best to help and making mistakes along the way just like I was! And in the end he finds friends, his dream comes true and he becomes brave! And that was SO COOL as a child to have a character out there that shared similar struggles! He helped me not to feel so alone and I’ll always be grateful for that. Oh, and most of all he taught me to stand up and do the right thing.

Also I HAVE to give a nod to Kida and Helga. Kida influenced me to be kinder to people as a child. She befriended Milo, listened to what he had to say and they learned so much from each other. Kida taught me what it means to be a good friend to someone.

Besides inspiring me to try out for gymnastics, Helga made me want to be stronger. She made me want to stand up for myself. Also, as a little girl, I thought it was so cool to see a lady be out there with the guys, kicking butt and taking names. In an era where a lot of young boys told me “Oh, you can’t do that because you’re a girl!”, Helga helped me to grin and say: “Oh yeah? Just watch!”.

As an adult she actually helped me in a way I didn’t expect. As an adult, Helga REALLY made me think. In an odd way, I guess she’s an example of what happens when you go with the flow of things; When you stay silent in a situation and go along with it, even if you know deep down that it’s wrong. That there are consequences to every action you take and yes, standing by and doing nothing is also a choice. Also, be careful who you give your loyalty to; That you can give absolutely everything to somebody but that they might not be willing to do the same for you. Sometimes, people can and will throw you under the bus (or off the hot air balloon in Helga’s case) for their own gains. This is something I learned the hard way and I’m still recovering from it over twelve years later. But hey at least I didn’t fall several stories onto solid pumice!

Also, for the love of god, do NOT screw around with special things from other cultures. ESPECIALLY if you don’t understand its significance! You could end up as a living rock!

Lastly, real life adventures can be scary but they are SO worth it! It’s better to take chances, especially if you have a dream that you want to accomplish. It may be terrifying and you may hit rock bottom and sometimes you’ll downright fail but don’t let that stop you. If Milo can do it so can you.

Night all!

I'm home alone today, and that means I'm watching the Bluey marathon on Disney Channel.

[creative-soul-22]

Just saw a guy on the underground I assume as an 70- or 80- something who carried an Elsa shopping bag saying "true to myself".

It was so cute I couldn't help but smile like a fool.

#you're never too old for Disney

How are you so famous? How did you get so many friends?

*roams up the stairs towards your throne*

Tell me.. what are you?

I don't think I'd consider myself famous...or at least, I wouldn't call myself that, if I was. I dunno, something about having too big a head about it, and thinking you're All That just cuz you're in a good spot has never sat well with me. If I ever do one day fit into a bracket of 'famous', I don't want something like that getting to my head. I want to remember my roots, my beginnings and all my struggles. I know how far I've had to climb and where I've had to crawl out of. And I know all the people that have been the reason I keep going.

And to the second question, I think that the first one bleeds over to it: I want to be a good person. A humble person. Not because of some monetary gain or contest of kindness, but just because...I know the monster I used to be. The monster I've come to terms with, and learned how to grow out of, slowly but surely, with each little step. And I owe it, to myself, and the people around me, to be better than that. No one deserves to go through what I've gone through alone. If I have the power to reach out to people, and bring community together to keep people from feeling alone, then I'll gladly do that. If benefits come out of that, well, then I have further branches to reach for to help more people.

I really never thought I would be in the kind of places I am today. Even just the littlest stuff amazes me. I know that I'm still a very broken person, and I've been through and caused a lot of things that I'm not proud of, and don't intend on returning to. But in that, I know where I've grown, and changed, and been taught the strength of kindness. I've done horrible things before, and I've had to make peace with myself over those matters years later, like old scars. I carry those with me as a symbol of that journey and change.

I still struggle. I'm far from perfect, I'm still making a lot of mistakes. But I'm still growing. I'm not done learning yet. And damn it, so long as I've got air in my lungs, I'm going to be happy. I'm going to help others feel happy. We all deserve some peace of mind, and a reason to smile on cloudy days.

Seemed as good a reason as any to make content about silly little airplanes. :)

There's something delightfully fucked up about somehow binding people's consciousness to animatronics and then taking that a step further to turn part of your spirit or whatever into code to gain another form of immortality. I also Really dig the idea of Glitchtrap killing OG Afton - almost something poetic about the shift of power from Afton being killed by his own OpenAi-Powered fursona for me. But I guess he probably canonically died in Pizza Sim.

I like Help Wanted+SB era FNAF a lot more than the older games, but there's so many interesting things to carry forward from the old stuff too. My city now.

Oh that would be a hell of a narrative play for him to die like that ngl

But yeah. Our city now lmao

It’s such a foreign concept to me that bad people get to be happy. I know we as people make our own happiness but I don’t understand how people who went out of their way to hurt people get to be happy while the people they hurt have to suffer with what they did to them.

Me, loading Dreamlight Valley: phew, the Halloween event is over, I shall no longer be menaced by the Nightmare Before Christmas aesthetic items in the star path, that aesthetic has irrationally terrified me for 30 years.

that teenage kraken movie is gonna flop so bad its going up against Indiana jones 5, a movie that has been talked about and been in development since 2008 😭 and nobody knows what I'm talking about when i mention ruby gillam: teenage kraken. or it could be the hit movie of the end of june and I'll be proven wrong 🤷🏾‍♀️ idk

[poorlittlevampire]

i do think disney movies have gone down in quality (for many reasons) but i also think. perhaps. some of us are expecting way too much out of movies meant for. children

[cosmicrhetoric]

okay i don't listen to her and tbh i didnt hear it when everyone was saying stuff abt that olivia rodrigo track and misery business but this new song of hers really does sound like miley cyrus see you again.........i was in the see you again trenches in middle school and im not that much older than her so god i hope the kids still know about see you again

[eggy-tea]

I know that Disney not promoting Strange World pretty much at all is really frustrating. That it’s galling to feel like you’re always celebrating the barest scraps of representation. The people who are asking for more, for better, are not the real problem.

But also, several of the local elementary schools in my small hometown went to see this movie as a school field trip before Christmas break. (I use that term intentionally; this place is conservative/Christian enough that it is still very much “Christmas break,” and not “winter holidays.”)

I can’t even begin to imagine that happening when I was a kid. A movie with an openly gay protagonist being treated like a normal kids’ movie? That you just take a bunch of six-year-olds to see, and your biggest worry is whether the “danger” scenes might be too scary for them? That elementary schools would be willing to sign up for it without fearing mobs of angry parents at their doorsteps?

We can’t let the fact that we still have so far to go blind us to the progress that we have made. Keep pushing, keep fighting, but celebrate the victories, however small. They all pile up into something bigger.

Trying to branch out and find new music to listen to is so hard because I'm embarrassed to be heard listening to literally anything, like if anyone in my house knew I listened to anything other than Taylor Swift I'd drop dead.

[watchthekittycatcher]

im always so validated whenever anyone talks about how abhorrent their trip to disneyworld was. like Yes bro discuss at length how Bad of a time you had. i also had a Horrific time
