My Favorite Coming of Age Movies

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)- One of the only rom-coms out there that I don’t feel guilty about loving. Its also one of the only rom-coms that I find laugh out loud funny, and where I genuinely really like both the protagonist and the love interest (I feel like at least one of them typically annoys me).

Booksmart (2019)- Great characters, and a fun new version of a pretty classic plot. It’s extremely funny, and highly enjoyable.

Easy A (2010)- Honestly one of my all time favorite comedies. Emma Stone is an absolute icon, and Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson play the best parents known to cinema.

Eighth Grade (2018)- My god is this movie painful to watch. Prepare to cringe the whole way through, but it’s also quite sweet, and easily the most accurate depiction of middle school I’ve ever seen.

Lady Bird (2017)- The hype is real for this one. Saorise Ronan is amazing. It makes you laugh, tugs at your heartstrings, and does an incredible job depicting the high school experience.

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)- I love Wes Anderson’s style. If you generally aren’t a fan of his work, you won’t be a fan of this one either. But if you’re a fan of his cinematography, campiness, and awkward humor, this one’s for you. It’s a great summer movie.

Stand By Me (1986)- What a classic. It’s nostalgic, poignant, and funny. For me, this is a movie that defines the genre.

The Edge of Seventeen (2016)- Hailee Steinfeld and Woody Harrelson made a hilarious duo. Similar to the other movies on this list, it’s funny, relatable, and slightly heartbreaking in just the right way.

The Kings of Summer (2013)- This ones an underrated gem. It’s a bit of an acquired taste, but overall it’s a great experience. The atmosphere is amazing, and it’ll bring you back to your childhood summers.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)- God I love this movie. It’s incredibly heartbreaking, and the acting is great (especially from Logan Lerman)! Yes I cry every single time, no not at the part you’d think.

I used to hate stoic and smart Brick until I realize this interpretation of Brick was inspired by his Teenage self. 💀

I was going to call the 'stoic and smart' Brick as just Fanon Brick. (Because yeah, It is a fan interpretation of Brick) But then, I realize there are many interpretation of Brick as an adult and as a teen. So it is unfair to point out 1 interpretation of him and Catagorize it as "Fanon Brick". But him being stoic and smart seems to be popular. Although I've seen other, Interpretations from ppl who ship Blossick, where he is more fun and charismatic than he is smart and stoic. XD

But I've seen Bleedman, Sbj, And maybe leechedoodles also write him like this. Is it problem? NO. Honestly, This is just one of the many interpretation on how they think he would act like as a teenager.

But lets take a look on what might've inspired that by Rewatching Clipsville. In clipsville, Brick is pretty calm and mellowed out. Stoic even.

Like he does give off the stoic guy vibe. Like Bro no, Reaction to anything that was going on around him. Butch literally said "wow" and the only one who gave somewhat Reaction was Boomer who was wide eyed and looked over his shoulder, meanwhile, Brick was just indifferent. (And kept the same reaction).

The only time he see somewhat smile, is when he talking to Blossom.

(He looks fuck Boi 😭, I can't. I swear it's the smile made him look like one.)

He's face is giving "hey cutie, You're going to Todd tonight?".

(When they first saw this the only thing that went through my mind was, what did the boys go through to mellow out like this? 😂 especially Brick. But, Life happens and people change. Some ppl give up and have something better to do in life.)

I like how his face just looked normal when she said she needed to study algebra. But then He looked confused when she said it was for English class.

(I think if she just said she needed to study algebra for her math class. He would've understood or Maybe convince her to go to Todd's party)

In this scene, Blossom asked him what he is doing. And god, I love this face soo much!! He looks so awkward 😭 its giving, "damn, I don't know what to tell her." vibe Or "I'm just going to Todd's" vibe.

And ofc course, When He tells her he is going to Todd's. Blossom laughs and tells him what a coincidence. In which he has his iconic "I'm surrounded by idiots" face.

Honestly, I see where people got the whole stoic Brick interpretation. Majority of the time, The stoic stuff is when he is a teenager. Ofc, It's different from his canon self because his canon self is a literal 5 year old.

So we never know how Brick would turn out as a teenager. (Unless Craig Mccraken decide to show us). But clipsville Brick is the closest we will get to teen Brick. I guess.

However, I do understand some complains like making him super genuis. In some interpretations, Him being a "genuis" is fuel by his jealousy for Blossom and wanting to one.up her on something therefore he studies to get a better grade than her. But I personally can't see Brick as booksmart. I see him more street smart than Booksmart.

Although I would argue, That, While the Rowdyruff boys are all dumb and uneducated. Brick is probably the smartest member. Base on the comics and the show. It's small, But he is quite observant, Like how he corrected Butch when they got separated from their snails. And it was his plan that worked to get them back too. He also called out Blossom on cheating in the recent comic. And he knew Boomer was acting strange all day.

While Brick can't spell the word "was" or "dumb correctly, he does have noodle up there. Maybe I will make an entire analysis dedicated to Brick and his character. But rn, I am tired to do that. Anyway, Those were just my thoughts on stoic and smart Brick and what might have inspired his existence.

Overall, The biggest issue is that it's overused. Not that it isn't possible for him to mellow out and grow out his ways. Honestly, We'll never know unless Craig Mccraken tells us.

The only thing I found to be somewhat OOC is making him Booksmart. Sorry I can't see it XD. I see him more streetsmart. Someone who could read ppl easily, (since he has shown a lil bit of that in yhe show.) But that's just me.

ROUND 1 - GROUP A

Propaganda under the cut

Granny Puckett

if hoodwinked wasnt so obscure i truly think she would be a tumblr icon. she has a baking imperium she does extreme sports she saved red riding hood and the forest by blowing shit up. defeats capitalism.

voiced by glenn close

Granny Weatherwax

She's good but not nice, she's a witch, in the maiden/mother/crone trio she's the crone, she's powerful and intelligent (although not booksmart), she's an inspiration and a terror to everyone in Discworld.

The Hag ‘o Hags, she is the leader of her small coven in Lancre holding the role of “crone”.

She’s saved the world many times, with tea and bees and other haggish delights.

dbda fic snippet : 'never been kissed'

“I would very much enjoy watching this film with you.”

Niko smiled. But then… “Or,” she said, “what if we lived it?”

Edwin frowned slightly, his brow knitting. “Lived it? The…” He waved a hand, loosely and vaguely, confusion lining all of his features.

“Yeah!” Niko pressed her hands together in front of her body. “Like, lived the teenage dream.”

Edwin looked disgusted. “Like that horrid song that Crystal did that godawful dance to?”

“It was Katy Perry, and she’s not horrid. She’s kind of iconic, honestly, though she and Taylor Swift did have this beef for a while. But I think they worked it out, so she’s cool again.”

Edwin blinked, clearly not caring about this extremely old celebrity drama.

“But that’s not what I’m saying. You know. Sneaking out, causing trouble. Clubbing, partying. Kissing. Maybe drinking, if we can manage to find some-”

“Niko, you are a ghost. You cannot drink.” Edwin’s voice was matter-of-fact.

Niko rolled her eyes. “Come on. There have to be supernatural nightclubs for ghosts and… and other things.”

Edwin raised both eyebrows, but his expression was otherwise relatively inexpressive.

“It’ll be fun. We can be, like…” she thought back to all the movies they had seen before. “Like Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink, or teenagers in more recent releases. Like the kids on the boat in Booksmart, or the friends in Heartstopper.” She paused. “Look, I know you might not like the idea of a nightclub. But maybe we could give it a try! It could be a ton of fun, and if you hate it, we’ll just leave.”

Edwin looked down at his hands. They were tightly fisted against his knees, which he was resting them on as he sat cross-legged. “Well,” he said finally, “I do like Heartstopper.”

Niko beamed and scooted over to Edwin. “I’m pumped,” she said, resting her head on his shoulder.

“Yes, well,” Edwin said, nudging her, “do not do anything silly as you lie in wait for our excursion.”

Monster High Reimagined

Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde character bio/Redesign.

Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde (he-him/he-they)

(Unlabelled)

The hybrid human/Oni child of the Jekyll-Hydes,a mixed Human/Oni family.

(Mixed English-Barbadian and Japanese)

The twin latest descendants of Dr jekyll,due to his half-oni parentage,Jacksons rendition of the family "curse" manifests differently to the other ancestors on his human mothers side,with the "Hyde" side of him manifesting as his brother,Holt,who the introverted and booksmart jackson feels he stands in the shadow of,nevertheless maybe being inducted into the friend group of their (self appointed) lab partner frankie stein will give this mad scientist/Oni duo the chance to know other people,and possibly each other a little better…

Likes: (mad) science,stop motion animation and (often increasingly) spicy food/ DJing at gigs,mythology and folktales and music theory/ 80s movies and cricket/baseball.

Dislikes: Deafeningly loud environments,feeling out of place and experiments going wrong/ awkward silence,hot sauce and alcohol/ people underestimating them, and (human) dentists.

Killer style: As with most things ,jackson and holts dress styles are utterly unlike each other's in terms of colour (Holt preferring blue,orange and black and jackson white,yellow and green) style and the like,which is a somewhat unfortunate situation since both feel awkward in the other's respective look (jackson preferring a more preppy,emo-inspired getup and holt casual, colourful clothing). With the help of frankie's friend Clawdeen however,the brothers have devised several items of clothing that both can wear without needing to tediously change their entire outfit every time either one is in control.

Familiar: Crossfade,a chameleon and living proof of one of the rare instances where both brothers agreed on something,that being that he makes for an awesome pet,despite some of their peers saying he's a bit boring compared to their more exotic or fantastical critters.

Pet Peeve: A lot of the time,each other! Turns out not only can having one brother complaining and snarking in the proverbial "backseat" in your head whilst your in control of everything else be super irritating,but it can be super inconvenient when outside factors cause one to wrest over control to the other,especially when one sibling is deep in focus on a particular passion of theirs only to get forcibly ejected.

Freaky Flaw: Because of the external pressures the boys each face,both Jackson and Holt have a tendency to "tune out" as it were and throw themselves into their hobbies to the point of sometimes injuring themselves,which has happened more times than both would like to admit despite the durability afforded to them as half-oni.

Spooky Secret: both brothers slightly envy the other, with Jackson wishing he had a bit of Holts sociability so the feeling of FOMO in the back of his head would stop being so nagging and Holt in turn wishing he was a little more booksmart like Jackson,if only so the adults in his life would stop telling him about him "wasting his potential".

Dream job: Jackson would prefer a quiet,uneventful career as a scientific researcher or archivist,while Holt wants to live the loud globetrotting life of an in-demand DJ,this disconnect unfortunately further adding to the tension between the two of them.

Five Fearsome Facts:

Both brothers are massive movie buffs, with many 80s science fiction,fantasy and horror films being among their favourites. Jackson in particular being engrossed in the films practical effects and the many behind the scenes stories about how they were devised,whilst Holt Is often more appreciative of the sound design and iconic soundtracks that in his opinion adds a unique atmosphere and tone to each movie.

In addition to this, Jackson,an avowed lover of stop motion animation, spends a lot of the time not doing mad science making his own short stop motion movies and uploading them to his Bootube channel. Naturally the methodically paced process bores Holt out of his mind,a feeling Jackson himself experiences in return during the long hours Holt spends editing and mixing music for his gigs.

Both boys are ADHD/Autistic,but unlike many of their friends,they were undiagnosed up until starting high school. Because of this, both boys went through school isolated and instead threw themselves into their interests, especially whenever they got frustrated with themselves or each other.

Among the many things shared by jackson and holt are a set of taste buds. This wouldn't be a problem if not for Jacksons love of coating his food with increasingly spicier hot sauces,much to the woe of the ironically heat-intolerant holt,who is left to grovel in the backseat as it were throughout jacksons "experiments" with said condiments.

While he considers himself a scientist through and through,since starting at monster high jackson has also gained an interest in the arcane arts (despite,or perhaps because of the dangerous aspects of their study and use), comparatively Holt is less than pressed about the use of magic,preferring to use his skill as a dj show as opposed to using what he sees as simply flashy space-fillers to get a crowd dancing.

OK so compared to the last few profiles I've done this one is more a general overhaul to Jackson/Holts concept if anything

Firstly,their nonhuman parent is an Oni instead of a "fire elemental," namely because I'm surprised their wasn't an Oni character already (tbh I could go on a whole tangent about the lack of yokai characters in mh but that discussion/rant is for another day)

As for how their monster powers work,their persona swapping thing comes from their human mother and grandmother and their more fantastical features (short horns and tusks ect ect) from their oni mother. (Their design is also somewhat influenced by West Indian myths of the Soucouyant/Hag,which I've referenced by making them a quarter Barbadian)

Also in terms of how their gimmick "works", jackson and holt don't "black out" when the other is in control like in G1,but while one is in control the other can't really do anything but provide snarky/worried commentary. (If anything It's kinda comparative to how Venom and Eddie work in those movies if you've seen them)

Anyways,see you for the next one.

[f1-stuff]

Mal I can’t believe you like stony I trusted you sigh…

anon....why you not like stony? 🥺 ((are you a stucky shipper?)) jkjk...unless...?

If you actually wanna know tho...

...it's simply the most compelling, contrasting, fraught, potential-filled relationship ever written/depicted (i wish i was exaggerating).

I'm ngl, I typed this whole thing and then it got deleted. So I might not be able to fully do this a second time smh. But here we go.

Whenever i was bored/in the depths of my stony/marvel obsession, I would make a list in my head of all the reasons Steve and Tony were perfect for one another in case anyone disagreed with me. I don't think I can remember all the reasons, but I'm gonna do my best (this mostly addresses their MCU depictions, since that's what I know best):

Their personalities are so complementary- steve is the more heart-on-his-sleeve, honest, dependable, disciplined, noble, street-smart, but also a bit naive, idealist and tony is the cynical, issues-with-authority, arrogant, sarcastic, hard-outer-shell, booksmart, realist. They're sooo different from one another, but at their core, they both want to make the world a better place and they both place more importance on others' lives over their own, altho their motivations come from diff places. It's hard for them to see that at first though bc they're both so stubborn and judge one another on superficial things. But when they do recognize it, they have so much respect for one another.

The age difference.............is hot! And here's why: you can make a case that either of them is actually older than the other... (iykyk) Tony has been awake & aging longer, but Steve was born in the 40s so... who really knows!?

Height difference.

Sexual experience difference (tony -> playboy, steve -> virgin??)

The banter. The Banter!!!

They both have daddy issues. Shared trauma, but also separate traumas that they can help each other through

And along with the daddy thing is the fact that Steve knew Tony's father?? And that Howard helped create/provide Steve's iconic shield? It factors into the daddy issues and the assumptions they make about one another bc Steve expects Tony to be like Howard and Tony resents Steve for the way Howard idolized Steve/Cap.

Steve's shield is vibranium and Tony's arc reactor is powered by vibranium. Idk, that shit is just poetic.

"Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?" "Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist." "I know guys with none of that worth ten of you... The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play - to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you." "I think I would just cut the wire." "Always a way out. You know you may not be a threat, but you better stop pretending to be a hero." "A hero? Like you? You're a laboratory experiment, Rogers. Everything special about you came out of a bottle."

(^NO ONE riles steve or tony up more, and what is that if not sexual tension, i mean...??)

Their nickname game is so strong - Tony is always nicknaming Cap, which is a sign of affection from him (Rhodey, Pep, Happy). Also in the 616 universe, I think they called each other Winghead and Shellhead which ?!?! so cute.

There's a literal universe of comics where steve and a female version of tony/iron man are in love and get married...

"Mr. Rogers, I almost forgot - that suit did nothing for your ass."

Stony has some of the best fan fiction i've EVER read. I want some of those fics inscribed on my tombstone actually (not sorry)

Aaaaand I'm losing steam (especially after typing this a second time lmao). But all of this to say, I used to be a stucky shipper (as evidenced by my ao3 works), but then The Avengers (2012) came out and changed everything for me. There's just something about stony - the equal potential for them to destroy one another/complete one another - that is just... 🤌🏻 There's passion there.

Superhusbands!!! 😍

there hasn't been a cult classic teen movie in years. the edge of seventeen and booksmart were well received but not iconic. do revenge was popular in a flash in the pan way, way more than others but it could have been way better

I haven’t seen Do Revenge yet (but I wasn’t compelled enough to watch it yet and I feel like that says something since on paper it ticks a lot of my boxes) but agreed about the others. We need one that’s edgy and not going to get anywhere near the Oscars! Granted I haven’t seen them in years but I was lukewarm on Booksmart and Edge of Seventeen both 🤐 I guess time will tell if some of these will stand up though, like Heathers and Jennifer’s Body and Saved! weren’t necessarily universally loved but are cult classics. (Saved! is underappreciated imo.) But yeah. I feel like the last one that was really a cult classic potential (too early IMO to say! Needs a decade or two to marinate before it’s a classic) besides the ones I mentioned before (Lady Bird and 20th Century Women) was The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It’s partially cringey, partially heart wrenching, fully iconic. Not set in present day though. I also think Everybody Wants Some!! was really really good, it’s more of a college Dazed and Confused (and another period piece) but sooo good. Boyhood is the other! Definition of growing up in the late 90s/2000s imo. Not a traditional coming of age movie. Your point still stands completely btw, this is just my stream of consciousness. We’re definitely lacking in GOOD teen movies that push boundaries and are genuinely funny and heartfelt.

[fallenangelsrollthedice]

Ok, I am curious, could you elaborate please?

2 brothers, the younger generally more booksmart one with brown hair, and the older blond streetsmart one with a taste for the finer things in life, go on adventures together in their iconic vehicle solving mysteries, fixing problems, and getting into situations generally dealing with relatively the same thing and saving the day by putting their heads together and figuring things out(also with the powers of friendship, teamwork, and brotherly love.

Not to mention the recurring villain characters who on occasion actually do help out a little bit.

Supernatural, is just Wild Kratts but with adult themes and monsters instead of creatures.

[jesuschristt-thatsaprettyface]

i know Superbad didn’t age well and now we have Booksmart but michael cera made the movie so iconic he’s just so funny
