Dpsblr post its been a while

Dps main theme is indiviualism right but Neil perry's plot and character in general can definitely be seen as a allegory for gay people and their struggles with societal acceptance

Okay so picture this neil is the gay person (obvi) Mr perry his the part of society that doesn't accepts it and that discourages individualism, and Mrs perry can just be seen as part of society that accepts it but turns a blind eye in order to not involve itself but indirectly seals the idea of non acceptance

Theater is considered a very queer thing established in most spaces including movies and even in the 40s-50s it was seen as a inherently safe place for queers to be who they are, the theater IS Neil's safe space in the movie, somewhere he can live a thousand good lives and where he's free to express himself as who he is (queer in this allegory) without the fear of society (his fathers) unaccepting nature

Mr perry doesn't want neil to be in this place of course, but instead he pushes him to go to college and forget this little phase of acting in favor of being something else, something more 'important ' and more socially acceptable but it's ultimately something that neil isn't (sounds familiar?)

Neil feels trapped between his happiness and acceptance from his father, in a way keating filled that void by supporting Neil's individuality and queerness, he's the part of society that accepts who people are and wants to be, keating tells Neil to he straight forward with Mr perry and to be who he is and that society (Mr perry) will accept him for himself, neil however ultimately decides that he cannot after seeing how his father reacts to hearing about acting, Mr perry rips Neil away from everything supporting him by taking him out of acting (a gay space) and out of Welton (another place teaching him to be who he wants)

To me the saddest part of Jacks story is that he never gets to escape his cage think about it Sally is able to escape and become anything she wants Sally gets to choose. Jack never gets to choose he’s forever the Pumpkin 🎃 King 👑 never to be anything else. He can leave his cage but can’t go far even in the book LLTPQ Sally can leave whenever she wants but he’s trapped but at least Sally is there to keep him company.

See, it's why I can't get behind the whole 'Jack being an elected official' or being 'voted into' being the Pumpkin King, because then he could resign, right? But in the movie, he makes it pretty clear that he feels trapped and *can't* give up his crown, despite wishing he could. While it could be read as Jack being fiercly loyal to his people + position, I see it as a birthright of his that he can't leave from, which explains his dilemma perfectly.

I also think that was an interesting point in LLTPQ...Sally running away when her Queenly expectations + duties overwhelmed her. This isn't a slight against her character at all, it's just interesting to think that Jack had to deal with his own stress (and this was him ruling over everything by himself), and pull through it alone. He couldn't just run away from things - hell, Halloween Town fell apart when he was missing for just a short amount of time, which shows how heavily relied on he is, and why he can't just leave his people, even when he feels suffocated by it. They depend on him like life itself.

This is why I genuinely wish Sally had reached out to Jack and got a good opportunity to talk out her issues with the Queenly stress + expectations in LLTPQ, because I KNOW Jack can relate to that and help her! I really hope we get to see how much Sally's assistance and presence helps take a good workload off of Jack's back, and gives the town another person to rely and trust besides him.

Recently saw a post in the Adam Taurus tag (an exercise in patience, that tag) that claimed that the signs of Adam not actually caring for the Faunus cause start as early as the Black Trailer. Their evidence?

Blake: What about the crew members?

Adam: What about them?

They proposed that the lack of concern Adam felt for the SDC crew whilst knowing that Faunus were often employed against their will meant he always put his revenge above the needs of the Faunus

Let me tell you, my jaw dropped at the stupidity

The way they went on, you'd think he was about to kill a small nation's worth of SDC workers, but like.

Babe.

It's a cargo train. Their skeleton crew barely has bones

According to the Association of American Railroads, the standard practice is a two-person crew, a locomotive engineer and a conductor, but it's not uncommon to have a crew of one. It would undoubtedly suck to be one of those guys if Adam had succeeded, but it's not the unbridled massacre people seem to think it is

As for the Faunus angle, I highly doubt any slave would be given the skills of either of those positions, much less left in charge of who knows how much lien's worth of name brand products, so no danger of accidentally eliminating the unfortunate kin there. Had they been Faunus that did join the SDC of their own volition, then they's be SOL just like the humans

I'm so tired of people making shit up or blowing things out of proportion to justify their Adam hate

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 229/?

Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe (1967)

"And Papa said to Mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas:

'Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please.

There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow'

And Mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe, anyhow.

Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge

And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

[...]

"Mama said to me, 'Child, what's happened to your appetite?

I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite.

That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today

Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday - oh, by the way

He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge

And she and Billie Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchie Bridge'"

Re: tokyo mew mew AU

so I changed the whole thing pretty much BUT.

Her animal is still a forest owlet, but her fruit is mangosteen. I changed things to fit mangosteen (quick drawing of mangosteen depicted on the left; ignore my attempt at a star fruit next to it. I was brainstorming)

Name: Mew Mango (not mangosteen cause that's too long to say :p) (slightly confusing) (I guess the whole thing is fine) (idk) (if anyone feels compelled you can create your own name I'd love to hear one) (I'm not being sarcastic)

Weapon: Da-mango-maru (instrument is a damaru)

Attack: ribbon mangostaan-u storm-o (or smthn)? (unsure on how well storm and the damaru match. but maybe the sound of the drum could be like rain?)

@ebbpettier

apologies that I took a month. I hope you have not perished

not sure where her mew mark would be? maybe on her back (like mint). I'm slightly tempted to have it on her knee/back of her knee lol

it's probably obvious, but none of this is set in stone

redrew this picture of mint:

Personally of the belief that live action fans who go onto animanga posts uninvited like 'I DESPERATELY NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT I THINK THE ART STYLE IS UGLY EVEN THO THIS OPINION IS IRRELEVANT TO THE POST' should be hit with a big rock. We already moved past this ten years ago, get with it or get lost. Swallow the hunger inside of you that demands everything be palatable to you. Maybe you could stand to be a little uncomfortable for a while
