#did we watch the same movie?

i get so frustrated bc like… the point of Smile 2 (bc i do understand this criticism of the first one) it’s not to just say like…. ‘oh and everyone who’s mentally ill is bad and evil and gross and hurts themselves and ppl around them and its hopeless the end’ like NOO you missed the point.
When you’re depressed or hallucinating or going through something insanely stressful, it can make you lash out, or make you impulsive and sad and scared, or push away the ppl who surround you. And it can make you feel like the world is laughing at you.
And it’s not Skye’s fault, it’s not happening to her because she’s a terrible person! And the movie isn’t trying to say that it is happening to her because she is a terrible person. But the ‘monster’ that lives in her head tries to tell her that, and tries to get her to believe it.
And the sad thing is that to a point, she does everything right! She reaches out, and she asks for help, and she tries to talk to someone about what’s happening. But there’s no one in her corner, and no support system she can rely on, and no one responds until it’s too late. And it’s sad. And it’s scary. And it’s a tragedy.
And that’s the point, I think. Does that make sense?
#idk this was what i thought#like the first movie did make me feel like ‘ok what was the point’ and left me disappointed#but i thought the sequel had a better take#and maybe i’m just stating the obvious but i’ve seen so many ppl complaining abt this and i’m just thinking#did we watch the same movie?#it’s not trying to demonize the mentally ill (despite the monster being. you know. a demon)#it’s just a sad story about what can happen to us when no one around us BELIEVES us#when we tell them we need help#and also what happens when maybe we push ourselves too far (a la skye refusing to take a break when she needs one)#but even that isn’t really on her bc when she finally BEGS for a break they refuse her one#and then it kills her.#smile 2#smile 2 spoilers#if i’m totally missing the mark tho lmk i genuinely do want to talk abt it

btw you can ship a character with an oc or insert without making the original love interest/any character a “total bitch”/“self centered”/“slut”/other deemed negative traits
not only is it just. a weird thing to do. it’s just poor storytelling and takes people out of immersion
#i usually see this with female characters and it just feels like misogyny#not to say it doesn’t happen to male ones#you don’t need to completely change a character#in order to make your oc or insert seem better#like i saw someone describe nora from PUTV as like a rumor spreading popular girl and like#did we watch the same movie?#but i see characters get this treatmebt ALL THE TIME#not just in that ine incident#just. idk.#its something ive noticed a lot that really pissed me off#fanfiction#ao3#wattpad#ffn#archive of our own#fanfic#i dont know if im making sense

Scrolling passed anti-barbie movie posts about how it's not feminist because...
They have a Barbie Mount Rushmore...
And because it's basically just white male power fantasies but with girls toys...
As if the movie didn't basically try to communicate that on its own?
Like that isn't the central conflict???
I'm pretty sure that was half the problem.
Pretty sure that was half Ken's plot.
Just ...???
#ooc.#guys#there's an entire gag about this#a bunch of old white men#are making toys for girls#and profiting off of it#and just making it pink to appeal to girls#while literally capturing Barbie#and trying to force her into a box#to suit their needs#the mother-daighter conflict#literally addresses this issue#did we watch the same movie?#i didn't think it was subtle#anyway I'll shut up

disclaimer, if you as a man sat through the 1 hour and 54 minutes of the barbie movie, watched it till the end, properly digested and absorbed the story and STILL think its just some feminist, man-hating, misandrist propaganda made by angry women to put down the male gender, i want you to reflect on how you view things. like really.
#berry.rambles <3#been seeing a lot of “oh it's just an anti-man feminist movie blah blah feminism sucks women annoying” online and like?#huh?#did we watch the same movie?#BARBIE LITERALLY GIVES UP ON BEING **THE** BARBIE AND HELPED KEN UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S NOT AN EXTENSION OF HER BUT HIS OWN BEING??#I MEAN IF YOU WANT AN ANGRY FEMINIST ILL BE ONE AND LET ME TELL YOU SUMN. WHAT BARBIE DID FOR KEN IS WHAT MOST SOCIALLY UNAWARE AND#IGNORANT MEN CANT AND DONT WANT TO DO FOR WOMEN BECAUSE YOU GUESSED IT!!! THE PATRIARCHY.#barbie literally established equality and you're calling it an anti-man movie what a take buddy#anyway :3#barbie movie#barbie 2023#the barbie movie#barbie

Imagine watching PR2017 and thinking K and J had chemistry in a kiss that an entire audience hated in the preview showing.

#and he was so earnest about it too 😭😭 trying to find the correct labels and stuff#but boy we did not watch the same movie LMAO#deadpool#wade wilson#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool 3#marvel#my ramblings

i see so many people on tiktok saying beetlejuice is a “creep” for waiting for lydia for 30 years and that the ship is disgusting and i gotta say…
shut the hell up❤️
like these the same bitches that swoon over the fact that 117 year old edward cullen was rizzing up 17 year old bella swan, like… is it because beetlejuice “isn’t conventionally attractive”… the double standards are WILD.
#winona ryder was also 17 hello#AND WHOEVER SAID BEETLEJUICE ISNT ATTRACTIVE IS INCORRECT.#i need people on tiktok to gain some form of literacy#because it’s so clear that we did NOT watch the same movie…#beetlejuice#betelgeuse#beetlebabes#tim burton#lydia deetz

I’ve been seeing some fics/ideas both on AO3 and on here where Chloe is in an abusive/toxic relationship and Red saves her from it. No hate to those bloggers/writers (I’ve read one on AO3 and bookmarked it immediately cuz it was so good) but it seems extremely out of character for Chloe to ever be with someone who would mistreat her.
From what we’ve seen in the movie, Chloe doesn’t hesitate to fight against someone she believes has done her wrong, and she’s clearly strong enough to fight back so there’s no way she’d let someone overpower her. Plus, her parents literally have the most perfect love story ever, she knows what pure romantic love is supposed to look like, and she would back away as soon as she realizes that it wasn’t the perfect picture her parents are.
So, I suggest, instead of making Chloe the helpless maiden, let Red be.
Red has been sheltered since the day she was born, and she has absolutely no idea what love is or how it’s given or received. Any idea of love she has is from her mother, who, evidently, manipulated her and emotionally abused her. She’s seen to want love, so it makes sense that if it came in the form of pain, she wouldn’t know how to react to that because she’s finally loved, even if it’s not ideal.
Chloe, being the charming knight she is, would swoop in and save Red from whatever misery she put herself in to just be happy for once.
And then they live happily ever after.
The end.
#just a lil rant#I find it really interesting when people write Chloe as helpless or in need of saving#because she clearly wasn’t raised that way#no hate to anyone of course#i thoroughly enjoyed the fics that are written like that#it just seems a lil strange because did we watch the same movie?😭#glassheart#Chloe charming#red of hearts#redcharming#charminghearts#descendants#descendants rise of red#rise of red#descendants 4#glassrose#descendants red#red x Chloe#chloe x red#chloe charming x red#wlw#lesbians#tw abuse

I feel like people underestimate Ballister's actions in the movie and dumb him down to be just a guy with sad big eyes when he's literally a metaphor for transphobic gay men who participated in the system based on violence and hate. He's so much more than what fandom makes him out to be and he's quite flawed
Like :/// yes he's cute but let's not infantalize him???
#im sorry did we watch the same movie#<- me when i see people talking how non-complex movie Ballister is#like yes hes less morally grey than in the comic but did we. did we forget the scenes where he says some questionable stuff to Nimona#“most people arent as accepting as me” DOES IT LOOK LIKE AN INNOCENT GUY WHO DID NO WRONG#he does wrong things and thats why hes great#Ballister is literally my fav character dont do me like that man :/#nimona#ballister boldheart#nimona 2023

"oliver didn't love felix he just wanted to be him" NO. oliver loved felix. oliver loved him so much that he was willing to mold himself to be whatever felix wanted him to be. he played the part of a poor boy with a shitty home life so that felix would pity him and love him and take him in like a stray dog. felix found out his lie and was going to throw him away like he was nothing, and oliver couldn't handle the thought of not having felix so he killed him. that way, he could perserve the memory of felix loving him and caring for him in his memory for the rest of his life.
oliver quick loved felix catton so much that he killed him so that their relationship would remain unharmed for all of the years to come. so that he could live with the delusion that felix died loving him, forgiving him for lying.
#did we not watch the same movie oliver was WHIPPED#oliver is an unreliable narrator#he is lying to himself abt his intentions to cope with the regret of his actions#THINK PEOPLE THINK#saltburn#azzy.txt

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :
-
(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )
#tumblr polls#hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today#still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual#They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully#it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec#fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since#I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm#ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos#or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things#I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming#over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY#I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb#e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about#different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see#stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I#can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud..#but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone#said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects#the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

“why can’t the two guys from fight club just be friends :(” bc the narrator wants to suck that man’s shit crazy style he’s literally gagging for it the entire movie even after he realizes tyler isn’t real. let’s use our brains.
#‘did we watch the same movie’ yeah we did and the plot twist hit me like a fucking train#me and the narrator were experiencing the same level of shock#again: let’s use our brains!#op#fight club

I know racism isn’t funny but people complaining about Cynthia’s race is so funny to me. Oh, you don’t like Elphaba because of the color of her skin? Huh. Now where have I heard that before? Perhaps in a book from the 90s which was adapted into a musical and is now becoming a two part movie used this concept as a metaphor for something. Oh wait—
#wicked#wicked movie#did we watch the same musical/read the same book? y’all are literally doing what it said was bad😭#cynthia erivo#elphaba thropp

Did you know they keep people awake for lobotomies? And that they access the brain through the eye lid area? Just… wanted that information out there (I can’t be the only one who knows)
I did know both those things! Horrible stuff. This isn't exactly related but I never understood when people think 'asylum horror' is about the patients because to me its always been about the insane horror of experimental medicine and malpractice and the people subjected to it, how they were treated.
Also I'm pretty sure this is all past tense I THINK they don't Do That anymore. Sure hope not.
#'Eek scary crazy people' no dude. Scary doctors who do not see their patients as people. Did we watch the same movie#not an art#In my Futuristic Anime AU they had advanced well beyond that exact method but the horror is the same
