7 or 13

3. what’s your job?

I am a PhD research student full time, and I also work as a teaching assistant running tutorials during the semester for the undergraduates.

4. if you could go back to school, would you?

Once I am done with this PhD in another (hopefully) two years, thats it for me. No more degrees. No more school expcept for working in a university

Nope. Not a hope. I cannot do it. I can reverse into a spot but I cannot parallel park.

Aliens and Ghosts. 100% I believe they're out there somewhere. Probably laughing at us.

Yep. It's the only car type I've ever driven. I love my little Micra.

I love Drag Race. I will binge seasons I've seen multiple times. I know the lyrics to most of the songs written for the show and the musicals.

And yes I'm still mad over certain choices and decisions in the show.

9. tattoos?

I currenty have four. I got my latest in January. I have one on the back of my right leg above my heel (it's a marching tatt with my mam), and the rest are on my arms (left forearm, left inner bicep, back of right bicep)

Green. I love dark greens, and like olive greens.

It used to be blue or red but I love green.

11. favorite type of music?

Honestly.....I sound like an asshole saying this, but I don't have a favourite type.

I love them. I used to get puzzles for Christmas every year and loved spending time doing them.

13. favorite childhood sport?

Tea.

Always tea.

I can only drink iced frappes, and even then I normally irder them without the coffee 😂

[belteppismo]

I was tagged by @jabeur so here are my answers (grazie Nico🫶🏻)

1. Do you make your bed?

Yes, every single day

2. Favourite number?

I’d say 3, which is very basic, but there is a story behind it. When I was little there was this cartoon where the protagonists were numbers and three was the clever one, that also happened to be pink! Best number in the show, so it became my favourite

3. What’s your job?

I’m a student, and unemployed

4. If you could go back to school, would you?

I have been super lucky and always had good experiences in school, or made the best out of the not-so-great ones, so I would absolutely go back

5. Can you parallel park?

I have never driven in my life (altra non patentata here)

6. Do you think aliens are real?

Yes, it seems reasonable to think that there are other forms of life in the universe. We can’t be the only ones, come on

7. Can you drive a manual car?

I have never driven in my life

8. Guilty pleasure?

I watch some rather trashy tv programmes sometimes. Like Temptation Island, Il castello delle cerimonie, Say yes to the dress… and I get overly invested in them

9. Tattoos?

No :( I like some tattoos I see on other people, but unfortunately I could never get one because 1) I’m not cool enough and 2) I can’t stand the sight and feeling (I somehow feel it) of ink on my skin

10. Favourite colour?

Sage green and teal

11. Favourite type of music?

Italian songwriting, both old and contemporary

12. Do you like puzzles?

I LOVE puzzles of all sorts, crosswords, jigsaw, sudoku, rebus… Rebus are sooo fun and I feel so smart every time I complete one

13. Any phobias?

A lot😭 I’m scared of most animals, especially dogs (sorry everyone) and insects. Then I’m super scared of fire and of explosions. The list would go on but I’ll stop here

14. Favourite childhood sport?

I did ballet, which I’m not sure can be considered a sport, and I loved it. I wasn’t that good, but I have very happy memories. And it also made me fall in love with the French language

15. Do you talk to yourself?

Yes, all the time and in different languages depending on the day. I basically vlog my life without a camera

16. Tea or coffee?

Tea, I don’t like coffee (sorry part 2)

17. First thing you wanted to be when growing up?

A wedding planner! I love weddings and I watched way too much Enzo Miccio growing up, so it was my dream

18. What movies do you adore?

Disney movies like Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Princess and the Frog, Coco, Mulan…

Then I absolutely adore La La Land, and a long list of romantic films, of various degrees of silliness

I have no idea of who’s answered this already, so don’t worry if you ignore this. I’m tagging @thelightattheendofthistunnel @pain-to-my-auchocolat and @sabatinifortylove

[vulpinesaint]

5 15 20 !!!

5 - favorite form of potato?

ooh okay told jules that it was scalloped potatoes when they asked so. taking this as an opportunity to name another one. my BASIC potato fave is tater tots for SURE. little slice of heaven right there. perfect addition to any meal, fulfills snacking urge cause they're so bite sized and delightful, they're like hashbrowns but you get a more consistent crispy to soft potato ratio... plus sonic (the restaurant. not the guy) has chili cheese tots that are like. disgusting but in an awesome way. you know. shout out american fast food i love to get chili cheese tater tots and a ridiculous grape slushy with fucking. nerds in it. meal to make your stomach churn but god if it isn't good

15 - rank the methods of death: freezing, burning, drowning

didn't look at the numbers you sent before i went to send you one in return and i think i immediately picked this same one 😭 um anyway. freezing is the best option for sure. the thing about burning and drowning is that it gives you time to Panic where if you freeze you could just go to sleep... i have always been a "make it quick" guy when it comes to imagining my own death. very consistent about Not wanting to drown or burn 😭

for the other two though. i think drowning is preferable because it is theoretically less painful. however burning is sexier. my final word on the matter

20 - favorite disney princess movie?

tee heeeeeeee sleeping beauty :3 i am a prince phillip boy and i think aurora's design is just gorgeous and i love the art style of the movie. i didn't actually watch it that often growing up i've only seen it two or three times but i do love it very much... just don't watch movies that often...

in terms of disney princess movies that i Did watch often as a kid cause we had them on vhs. mulan. i think we get the reasoning there skfgjh

weirdly specific and unrelated asks to know someone well :)

[veliseraptor]

Top 5 animated movies?

I see asks like this one for this meme and I'm like "lise what if you just wrote a short and simple response listing movies, then maybe you would actually end up answering all your meme asks" and then my brain goes "nope <3" and I end up with five paragraphs. I'm just not very good at shutting up.

anyway!

1. The Last Unicorn. This is the "no-brainer" one for me because I always feel like this is just...such an important piece of media, and it's one of those things where when I show it to new people I feel very vulnerable about it and kind of go "please understand that in sharing this with you I am showing you my vulnerable underbelly and if you hate it don't tell me." I don't even know that I could articulate why exactly, but it occupies a very particular place in my heart that few other pieces of media can claim to have. I have watched it so many times and here I am going "maybe I should rewatch it today, actually. plug in my external cd drive and pull out the dvd and everything." It's like that.

2. Princess Mononoke. Another one that came to me immediately as I was coming up with this list. I'm pretty sure I watched it a little too young and the opening scene with the boar creature vs. Ashitaka kind of scarred me a little bit but...lord, what a movie. It's beautiful visually and as a story I also love it. I feel like chronologically Spirited Away was my first Studio Ghibli I remember, but this was the one I latched onto. ngl, the fact that there are wolves in it probably helped.

3. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It started to get a little harder here, but then I remember how I felt when I saw a caption referencing a song from this movie's soundtrack (thanks for the bangers, Bryan Adams! unexpected but I'm grateful) and went "!!!!" like my brain was lighting up like a lightbulb. So yeah, I'm going to say this is an important one. You can take the horses away from the horsegirl but you can't take the horsegirl out of the girl. or something like that. And this was one of my horsegirl movies. I also just now remembered the paint by numbers extras that were on the dvd that I was weirdly obsessed with, so that's cool.

4. Watership Down. Actually this one should've been third and I don't know how I forgot it! I joke that the fact that the animated movies I rewatched most as a kid were this one and The Last Unicorn and that probably explains a lot of things, but honestly it might. This movie has a reputation that's in some ways bigger than it deserves (though the destruction of the warren segment is pretty much as awful as everybody says it is), but it is also just legit a really good story and well-adapted into a movie, in my opinion. I watched the remake and was profoundly disappointed mostly because I felt like the animation style was boring, and one thing this movie definitely had going for it was the style.

5. Atlantis: the Lost Empire. I almost went with The Lion King but then I remembered this movie, and, yeah. What a film. Truly everyone who has talked about the brief period where things were very weird and therefore very interesting at Disney were right. Also Helga probably turned me gay (and specifically gay for female villains), I just didn't notice until later.

Honorable mentions to The Lion King, The Rescuers Down Under, and Mulan. And probably several others I'm forgetting that I'll think of as soon as I hit post.

There are definitely the animated movies I want to see, most notably Song of the Sea, because I suspect I would really like them. I am just terminally bad at watching movies, you know.

shout out to The Secret of the Seal though, which was a movie where I sort of thought one of my sisters and I shared a collective hallucination until finally I managed to track it down with something like "seal macaroni penguin animated movie." not to be confused with the 1992 anime film Tottoi, mind you.

...though considering now that I'm looking again all I can find to prove its existence is a cover, I'm beginning to wonder again. The Rotten Tomatoes page I thought was going to take me to it returns a 404 not found.

IT WAS REAL she screamed as they dragged her away. I SWEAR IT WAS A REAL MOVIE

In Defense of Strong Female Characters

In today's entertainment landscape, more and more creators have been taking the chance to make female protagonists just as well rounded and interesting as their male counterparts. Yet online, there tends to be this disdain for female characters for one reason or another. Whether it comes down to sexism or these critics just being too lazy to come up with actual critiques that hold water, I think strong female characters have gotten a bad rap over these past few years. For this post, I'm going to share my thoughts on strong female characters and why we're living in a golden age of heroines.

While female protagonists have existed since the dawn of man, they weren't always 3 dimensional characters with interesting personalities. With every Mulan, Little Mermaid, and Cinderella, there were hundreds of female characters that were either damsels in distress, eye candy, or exposition machines. Female characters like Snow White and Sleeping Beauty in their original fairy tale forms lacked urgancy and interesting personalities in comparison to the main hero. They were mostly just there to look pretty and for the man to save them. I can't begin to tell you how many times a lady hogtied on the train tracks was so frequently used in the early days of film; it was practically a rule for every film to have a damsel in distress. That all started to change when characters like Wonder Woman took the world by storm and inspired girls to be strong and brave like them.

During the mid-20th century, characters like Ripley (Aliens), Leia (Star Wars), and Sarah Conner (Terminator) became more 3 dimensional with well-rounded personalities, funny quips and quick thinking skills. They quickly showed young girls that women can be strong and interesting, just like the men. Over time this gave rise to more strong female characters such as Kim Possible, Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbend), Fiona (Shrek), Anna and Elsa (Frozen), Natasha Romanoff (MCU), Rey (Star War sequel trilogy) and many many more. In this current age of strong female characters that were once almost nonexistent, you'd think this would be a welcomed and accepted part of our reality. If you do think that, bless you for not being on the Internet.

On YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit (among other social media sites), there's a large number of users who take issue with strong female characters. They bring up reasons like "they overshadow the male characters," "they're Mary Sues," and "they make men look bad."" These are some outrageous and false claims that they try to make big deals about to hide the fact that either A. They're lazy or B. They're sexist. Do you wanna talk about overshadowing male characters? Robin Williams stole the show in every movie he was in before he passed, and most of his co-stars were male characters. I've already gone into detail about Mary Sues in another post, but to recap, Mary Sue was a character from a Star Trek fanfic, which is a power fantasy. Most entertainment is made up of power fantasies, so referring to a female character as a Mary Sue makes for a stupid insult and a lazy critique. And as for "they make men look bad?" Don't flatter yourselves! Men like Harvey Weinstein, Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong-Un, and Vladimir Putin already make men look bad. A female character being cool doesn't make you less cool.

Strong female characters are exactly what we need in entertainment. Entertainment has always been for everyone, but it's only now being more reflective of our tastes and our ideals. Female characters like Mary Poppins, Peggy Carter, and Catwoman (The Batman 2022), among many others, show that they are on equal ground with male characters as they should be. To conclude, I want to thank everyone who is involved in the creation of strong female characters. May you continue to inspire girls and boys to stand together on equal footing. Thank you so much for reading, and I'll see you next time ;)

All Responses to 3855:

This will be the big post that includes all responses to Fandom Problem 3855. After this I will answer one final ask related to this and that will be the last response regarding that problem. All will be below the read more. If I find more in the inbox, I will post them individually.

The following responses came in on February 27th and will be numbered. Number 1 will be the last one that came in on this day.

1: Glad that the submitter of 3855 came to their senses and see that Mulan isn't trans. She is a historical figure who was a 100% biological woman. Submitter of 3855 was probably exposed to too many woke people. I feel bad for them. hope they find better people to learn from

2: Mulan is a historical figure in Chinese culture. She isn't just some Disney character that people can just make headcanons for. She is meant to be a 100% biological woman. So be respectful and just accept that she isn't trans, anon that keeps complaining that people won't respect their "headcanon."

3:

Tbh, the only correct response to the Mulan thing would be "that's not a fandom problem, that's a headcanon. Why did you even send it in?"

This blog is about venting frustrations with fandoms, everything that gets sent in will be critized by some people. Keep your headcanons to positivity blogs, unless you're trying to say "other fans are dumb for thinking otherwise"

Sorry you have to put up with this chaos, mod! I hope you'll get a nice long break soon :)

Sorry you have to put up with this chaos, mod! I hope you'll get a nice long break soon :)

5: the entire mulan thing starting from the submission itself was one big bait, stop taking the bait, christ. also to other anons, mulan is a woman willing to pretend to be a man but who ultimately and very comfortably returns to being a woman at the end.

(Mod note: It is hard to spot trolling. I have to see a pattern to be able to identify it.)

6: 710384943149285376 Mulan aside, being so enormously petty and childish that you'll immediately ban someone from a server just for floating the idea of a character being trans is a big yikes, it shows you can't stomach anyone with even remotely differing opinions (that's a good recipe for ending up in a tiny, tiny echo chamber), and it says a LOT more about you than anyone you're banning, pal.

(Mod note: The link takes you to the ask this anon is responding to.)

Here are the anon responses I received on February 26th or earlier with the newest being first:

1:

Have a strong feeling that the submitter is the same person who sent those responses as well.

Anyways, it always has been and always will be common for trans folk to feel seen by gender nonconforming characters, including cis crossdressing characters, that's not going away anytime soon (especially because canon recognition of ACTUALLY trans characters is even still pretty rare and even still not always handled as well as they should be).

However making the statement that a character IS trans despite it conflicting with their story, followed up with the twee annoying fandom person cliche of a bold inaccurate statement followed by "won't be taking any criticisms" is just looking to kick up a fuss. Followed by a whiny "fine i guess i just WON'T headcanon Mulan as trans now thanks guys". Like, as stated before, characters breaking gender norms is a thing, you're free to project on them but dictating that others do in the same ways that you do is annoying.

2: response to 3855 Saying Mulan is trans is culturally inaccurate

[jinhogwarts]

musical numbers i want kpop idols to cover

disney/broadway/musical movies songs that i think will fit certain idols or groups - some of them make sense, some of them maybe not as much. but this is just how my brain works.

if you were gay (avenue q) - woozi & hoshi (sventeen): woozi as rodd and hoshi as nicky, obviously

defying graivty (wicked) - dawon feat. dayoung (wjsn): took me years to figure out who in kpop could fit this song both in terms of vocals and in terms of personality/acting and then it hit me that dawon totally could so now i really want her to do it :(

popular (wicked) - dayoung feat. dawon (wjsn): if dawon is the perfect elphaba, dayoung is CLEARLY the perfect glinda. i mean, come on.

sweet transvestite (the rocky horror picture show) - jo kwon: i don't really need to explain this one do i?

cell block tango (chicago) - ot6 (g)i-dle: tbh i just want any 6 powerful female idols to cover this song but i can't really think who could fit it, and i think as a group idle could have fit it so well. can't really come up with the whole line distribution but soyeon as velma and shuhua as hunyak

out tonight (rent) - yuqi ((g)i-dle): idk what it is about this song but i just think it will fit yuqi perfectly and i really want her to do it!!

you're welcome (moana) - wonho: okay i know personality wise this song doesn't fit him that much because he's not self centered but i just think it will be incredibly funny lmao

shiny (moana) - key (shinee): i think this one is also pretty self explenatory but like... shiny? shinee? get it? and of course it has to be key because, well, sassy villain and all

surface pressure (encanto) - leeteuk (super junior): tbh i think these lyrics can fit every leader/oldest member of any group but personally i think leeteuk is the one who probably had some of the hardest moments in his career and he's always been so strong and it's just. yeah.

be prepared (the lion king) - jinho feat. shinwon, yanan, wooseok (pentagon): ok no real reason for this one, it's just my favorite disney song of all time and jinho is my ult and i think it would be incredibly sexy of him to cover it (the 3 dumbasses mentioned above as the hyenas, obviously)

reflection (mulan) - amber: another pretty self explenatory one... i know she's not really active in kpop anymore but still, i think this song is very much her.

i'll make a man out of you (mulan) - siwon feat. shindong eunhyuk and donghae (super junior): i can't find a good example but like google "siwon li shang" you'll get what i mean

bonus: gay or european (legally blond) - everyone @ yangyang (nct/wayv): because, you know. he was born in germany. so he's european. but he's in nct, so he's also gay.

that's all i could come up with for now! feel free to let me know if you think i hit the nail on any of them, or if i completely missed. also if you want to reblog and add other songs i didn't mention, feel free to do so, i would love to see what else you can come up with!

[tinkerbell-and-tiaras]

Been listening to my Disney playlist today and thought I’d list my three favourite songs!

Number 3 is Just Keep Swimming from Finding Nemo! Dory is so funny and this song has such a simple, but important, message. (Plus it reminds me of my best friend!)

Number 2 is Reflection from Mulan! Milan’s one of my favourite Disney Princesses and one of my favourite Disney Movies! This is a beautiful song that really expresses Mulan’s feelings well. I just love it!

Number 1 is obviously When Will My Life Begin (Reprise 2) from Tangled! It’s from such an important moment in my favourite princess’ story! She’s finally left her tower and I feel so happy for her, and this song always reminds me of that happy feeling!

Honourable mention goes to Fly To Your Heart by Selena Gomez! This song was from the Tinkerbell movie, and Tink is my all time favourite and I love her and I love this song! The only reason it’s not on the main list is because it’s not actually currently on my playlist!

Incest ships from any fandom that isn’t GoT or HoTD

Please DNI if

You are racist, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, a Zionist, promote animal cruelty and genocide, a pedophile, a rapist, a TERF, an Andrew Tate/Elon Musk/Donald Trump fan or a bully

You are under 18. While I do not post overly sexual stuff, I occasionally use colorful language, and advise you to not interact with me if you can’t handle it. If you still choose to visit my profile, it might be at your own risk.

You can’t ignore the difference in taste regarding characters or ships. If you like Tony or Zutara, that I do not like, or any other thing I listed above you are still welcome here, just know that I am not responsible of your contempt if you choose to stick around and end up stumbling upon a negative rant about your favs. If you are conscious to lack the needed restraint, please feel free to block me. I’d rather not have hostility under my posts.

You support genocide. I already said this, but I feel like repeating it is important.

You don’t like Multi fandom blogs

You are a troll of any kind

You don’t like rants/long posts, I tend to write a lot of those

A little warning about my boundaries

Although I try to be polite with everyone I interact with, I do not take any form of disrespect towards my posts, my time or my analysis lightly.

I will not be nice in any way if you are hostile or rude towards me unprovoked, If I don’t like your attitude, I will block you.

I am very open in regards of my takes. Im not afraid of sharing them or discuss them when it’s appropriate. But if you are arrogant in your analysis or rant, I will block you. Your argument isn’t with me just because I posted someone else’s take. It’s not that deep either.

I will NOT be kind or polite when the precise general public I am addressing is fundamentally an asshole with no morals, and the reason to address them is to criticize them. If you are a group of ignorant fat shamers (example), I will treat you with the same courtesy you gave to those you fiercely insult, because you do not deserve my respect. I AM petty and I believe in treating people how they deserve to be treated. If you don’t like my take on this, I kindly ask you to get out of my blog and block me.

If you don’t like what I say or how I say it, feel free to block me. If whatever bothers you is not directed to you, then feel free to ignore or block me. I am not willing to put up with your agendas and tantrums because you don’t like a choice of words I’ve used.

If these terms aren’t ok with you then I’m sorry to see you go, if not, stick around on this blog of crazy girlies <3
