everyone yell at me to do my hw before I play clangen

when in harry potter and the half blood prince, it says “you’re getting a bit obsessed with malfoy, harry, i mean, thinking about missing a quidditch match just to follow him?” and “harry however had never been less interested in quidditch, he was rapidly becoming obsessed with malfoy”…. when in mean girls, cady says “i was a woman possessed. i spent 80 percent of my time talking about regina. and the other 20 percent of the time i was praying for someone to bring her up so i could talk about her more.”…. something like that

10 more Disney hot takes/unpopular opinions (Part 4)

"I See the Light" is my least favorite Disney duet--I don't know why, but it isn't emotional or impactful to me like other duets. Perhaps it was due to not being emotionally invested in Flynn like I was supposed to be at this point, and his and Rapunzel's different personalities making them feel almost like father and daughter rather than love interests.

2. Anna's "Frozen 2" look is very boring--It's wildly disappointing that they opted not to give her her double braids because they seemed too childish. This is only three years after the first film, and while I love seeing her hair down, I would've enjoyed her having her two braids as well when traveling. And don't get me started on her main outfit; the black look being chosen to show maturity/seriousness could've easily been a darker green or magenta to keep with her main look rather than going with black, especially since Kristoff's look is black (and also boring; it's just recoloring his look from part 1).

3. The post-renaissance era is very disappointing--No seriously. I'd save "Fantasia 2000" and maybe "The Emperor's new Groove" and everything else can be erased.

4. "Zootopia" is the best Disney movie of the 21st century so far--Given that I tend to appreciate Disney's musical films more and don't usually care for animal-centric films, this surprised me just as much as anyone else. However, the message, while not 100% transferible to human racism, was so impactful and emotional to me. I can only hope the sequel does it justice.

5. Yokai is the best "modern" Disney villain of the revival era--To clarify, by "modern" I mean that he isn't written like classic Disney villains as only having "evil" as their only setting; his villainy has a meaning to it, serving as a cautionary tale to what the hero could become. TBH, I think it was better done than the "Know Who You Are" message with Moana and Te Fiti (see my other hot take post). Granted, I do think some of his sympathy was removed when he tried to kill his students, but the message and overall theme itself is very good to me.

6. "Encanto" was good, but not great--Don't get me wrong, I loved most of the songs, and the animation was phenomenal as well as the message, but the film felt like it was overstuffed. With twelve family members, it was inevitable, but trying to give lessons with Luisa and Isabela along with giving Dolores a romantic arc felt underwhelming since they weren't major characters with Mirabel, who's main thing was feeling left out and isolated. If they wanted to incorporate other arcs, they'd have to be more included in the narrative, and you can still have Mirabel feel isolated; you can be around others and still feel like they don't get you or listen to you.

7. Ariel's sisters should've had more relevance than just being plot-accurate--I never really thought about this until the live-action remake, but yeah. Ariel's six older sisters don't do anything and don't exist except for the fact that the source material said she was the youngest of several sisters (thus where we get the title from; I think the fairy tale only gave her five, though). While this is more of a modern Disney idea, I would've liked it if Ariel AND her sisters became human, and each of them grow closer to Ariel upon seeing why she likes the human world so much, and further highlight the anguish Triton feels at driving all his daughters away. That said, due to the amount of characters in the film, perhaps condense the six sisters into one to three of them, and they could still have their hair cut as their payment to Ursula. In fact, perhaps because of this trade, their time on land is shorter than Ariel's (but they don't belong to Ursula until the third day is up), allowing them to get King Triton and disrupt the wedding at the last minute.

8. The Disney prince line should be more relevant--It baffles me greatly that this hit the backburner in contrast to the princesses. The unnamed prince Charmings could be given names and more fleshed out personalities, and their books/stories could be promoted just as much as the Disney princesses. There is other merchandise to be used besides dolls (even if that is the money maker).

9. Disney needs to consider PG-13 animated films--Animation in the western world seems to be synonymous with family/young audiences, 3/4 times, while Japan has shown that animation has huge potential in the young adult market. I desperately hope that "The Boy and the Heron" being so acclaimed inspires Disney to be more PG-13--not just for the rating, but because the story benefits more from the mature content. Note: this is more for violence/scary imagery than innuendo or profanity.

10. Disney should be more sparing when they hire celebrities for films expected to start a franchise--This is a personal opinion of mine, but while I don't think celebrities should be excluded from major motion animated films, I do think companies, particularly Disney, should use them carefully. These are for two reasons: if you hire a well-known voice actor, the character's voice may not sound as unique for a major property since the voice is somewhat ubiqitous thanks to the actor's work. Secondly, hiring a celebrity actor known for live-action productions, it may be hard to meet their schedule or salary desires when you want them to return for a short, sequel, and/or tv show. Not saying it happens every time, but I do have concerns about that, especially when I thought "Wish" was going to be something spectacular and show up more in Disney's merchandise.

IT’S ALREADY BAD THE HERON SIGNIFIES THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA GERARD EXPERIENCED WHICH HE STILL THINK HE DESERVES 😭

[mono-chrono]

[gloamvonhrym]

radiant dawn doesn’t give you much to work with in terms of dialogue but executes some remarkably efficient storytelling in the dialogue it DOES have. I love that interaction between rafiel and tibarn not only because it’s very funny but because it establishes in like 3 lines that 1) the two of them know each other, or knew each other, ostensibly well enough that rafiel should be able to surmise that tibarn is bluffing (he’s also a heron, like, he knows tibarn is bluffing); and 2) tibarn is uniquely vulnerable to Distressed Heron. he’s used to intimidating people, he does it a lot, he nearly kills sothe and doesn’t budge for micaiah, but rafiel’s reaction is the only thing that makes it backfire. it’s the only time tibarn fully cracks onscreen. he stammers and pleads and panics. it’s such a remarkable critical failure that I feel it’s a totally legitimate read that rafiel does in fact know tibarn wouldn’t hurt him, and additionally, is fully aware that folding to the ground and bursting into huge ghibli tears will make tibarn back off. no rafiel isn’t a scheming personality but he’s also not been crying his way through every battle up to this point. I think at the very least it’s easy to allow yourself that emotional reaction in the midst of a high-stakes battle when an old friend tries to threaten you and you know him well enough to know that ur white boi tears will nip that shit in the bud :^)

My Top Three Tumblr Posts of 2023:

[the-holy-ghosted]

Anonymous does not do me much good ever. So here. You are a delight to have as a mutual. When we exchange snippets of conversation twixt the tags of posts it feels much like leaving little pocket notes of messages scrawled upon loose scraps of parchment tucked inside one another's favourite books; or along a trailing garden beside a library. Finding little footnotes left for one another in a whimsical display of mutual delight as little words are traded like secret utterances of appreciation and giddy glee for some shared joy.

Anon this is us rn. This is what's goin on

It's Juneteenth and now it's become a national holiday. Check out this freedom-oriented playlist to celebrate June 19, 1865, when Mayor General Gordon Mayer declared freedom for enslaved African-Americans two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
