#i didnt even get inspired by a disney princess

Day 3 of @silvergiftingweek

Marriage | Bonding

Peonie: Peonies are usually associated with romance, love, and weddings, one of the reasons is because it´s a spring flower, and another is the vibrant feathery petals that make a declaration in a bouquet

[spot-conlons-pimp-cane]

superpower newsies au: each newsies powers

some of these were inspired by other ppl but I'm sorry I forgot the @'s for them, so sorry!

anyways, enjoy!

Jack: he is a master with his lasso, and always has it on him. He can do almost any trick with it, and often uses this fact to impress people (cough david cough)

Davey: he can use words to get whatever he wants, he can persuade people, deter people, and make anything he says sound any way he wants. If he wants to sell a headline, make it sound true, if he wants to mess with people, make it sound fake.

Racetrack: along with buttons, race has 2 abilities. He has superspeed, and he is a human lie detector. This helps win him card games, and also helped get him banned from the lodgings weekly poker night, because he already knew everyones tells.

Albert: he can camouflage himself both physically and socially. He can blend into the background, literally and figuratively. He is also banned from hide and seek because of this. 

Finch: Albert equates him to a disney princess, seeing as he can talk to birds, and mimic any bird call in the world. 

Bumlets: he can convince you to do anything, and you won't even realize you've done it. He can convince anyone of anything, and he makes it seem like it was your idea! He wants a cigarette from you? Oh, thanks for offering it to him!

Specs: he can shapeshift into anyone he's made physical contact with, but unlike almost everyone else, his powers derive from an item. He has to be wearing his glasses, or else his powers wont work. 

Skittery: due to being anxious, he is very shaky, but if he wants to, he can affect things around him, causing mini earthquakes to items, sometimes even furniture and likes to use his ability to mess with people.

Kid blink: he shares a power with Racetrack, being super fast. He uses this to his advantage to get ahead of all the other newsies. He sometimes uses his ability to help others, but also abuses it as a way to escape the bulls and angry shop owners he steals from.

Hotshot: his ability is being good at everything. There is not much more to it, just that everything he tries he's good at, he's a hotshot.

Snitch: he has amazing hearing, though sometimes it gets too much. On the bright side, he is definitely the person you want to go to for a gossip session! He knows all the drama, and he is, as the name implies, a snitch. 

Mush: he is a human furnace. He has abnormally hot body temperature, and makes a great cuddle mate ("back off, he's mine!" - blink). He can also focas his power in his hands and shoot sparks, and sometimes, if he tries hard enough, he can start fires.

Spot: he can turn invisible, almost like a ghost. That's why race has dubbed his power "ghost mode" he can go invisible, and when he does, you can't hear him, or even touch him. Its like he just disappears.

Tumbler: durability. He can take lots of tumbles and get up just fine.

Sniper: perfect aim. That's how he got the name. He physically can't miss a target. He could literally shoot his slingshot in the opposite direction and still hit what he was intending to hit. 

Buttons: he, like race, has 2 powers. 1st, he can repair almost any object, and sometimes walls if he tries hard enough. 2nd, has an infinite supply of buttons. This caused Sniper to call dibs on the bunk on top of his, for infinite projectiles, and buttons, in turn, gets free protection, and gets spared from being used as Snipers target practice.

Dutchy: he can understand any language. He didnt even realize he could at first, but its almost as if every language is translated to english in his mind.

Swifty: he can contort his body into unnatural shapes. Scaring some of the newsies who were unfortunate enough to see him while he stretches.

Elmer: he can control plants, make them grow, generate them out of thin air, manipulate them in any way he sees fit. This also helps when he wants to get buttons a gift and makes him a bouquet. 

Smalls: can change their size, usually to be smaller. But if they try hard enough, they can get taller/bigger. 

Mike and Ike: these two can communicate telepathically with each other, but no one else. Most people suspect its due to the whole twin thing, they even decided to call it twin telepathy. It is one of the many things that affect the twin-bond they have. They are almost like a hive mind.

The image the west painted about arabs and SWANA ppl centuries ago, how is it still used today, and why is that image harmful to SWANA group

First of all, what is Orientalism? based on the definition by Edward Said, orientalism is a "created body of theory and practice" which constructs images of the Orient or the East directed toward those in the West.

Representations of the East as exotic, feminine, weak and vulnerable reflect and define how the West views itself as rational, masculine and powerful. These can be seen in paintings as well as media.

The painting were obsessed w the idea of the Harem women, which affected all SWANA ppl, including Persian and Turkish women as well. Stereotypes and orientalist depictions of arabs and SWANA ppl are still used till this day.

Le Corsaire (1856), takes place in Turkey and focuses on a love story between a pirate and a beautiful slave girl. Scenes include a bazaar where women are sold to men as slaves, and the Pasha's Palace, which features his harem of wives.

Petipa's The Pharaoh's Daughter (1862), an Englishman imagines himself, in an opium-induced dream, as an Egyptian boy who wins the love of the Pharaoh's daughter, Aspicia. Her costume consisted of 'Egyptian' décor on a tutu.

Fatima (1897) and Fatima’s Dance (1907), which were the very first portrayals of Arab woman as a veiled belly dancer. These sexualized and objectified Arab women.

Sheherazade (1910), involves a shah's wife and her relations with a Golden Slave. It includes an orgy in an oriental harem. When the shah discovers the actions of his numerous wives and their lovers, he orders the deaths of those involved. Also based on One Thousand & One Nights.

The sheik (1921), takes place in Algeria, where Lady Diana disguise herself as a dancing girl to become one of the prospective brides, yet is unable to go through with the deception bc the sheik liked her. the sheik later abducts her, intending to make her fall in love with him.

The movie didnt even have the accurate Algerian traditional clothing and Algerians dancing clothes arent the “belly dancing inspired” clothes. The stereotype that a SWANA man would abduct a white women to make her fall inlove w him too…

Lalla Fatma N'Soumer, an Algerian anti-colonial leader during 1849–1857 of the French conquest of Algeria and subsequent Pacification of Algeria. She is an Algerian national hero. The pictures show the Algerian traditional wear, which isnt close to the ones in the movie.

Here is an Algerian woman wearing a Haik, again not dressed as the movie shows.

Mickey in Arabia (1932) by Disney, taking place in the Arabian Desert, where Mickey and Minnie are exploring the area I assume. Later, Minnie gets kidnapped by a Sultan. Again, portraying men from SWANA or arab men in this case as predatory and barbaric.

Abdullah the Great aka. Abdullah’s Harem (1955), about an Arab sheikh and a European model. He’s always with the Arab women he bought, along with belly dancers. He still tries to seduce Ronnie. He then attempts to drug her in order to sleep with her, but fails and gets dethroned.

So far all these movies continue to have the same narrative, continue to sexualize Arab and SWANA women, always portraying them as belly dancers and/or harem women. The Arab and SWANA men as barbaric and predatory. Themes that will continue to exist till this day.

Babes in Baghdad (1952) Arabian Nights princess goes on strike demanding equal rights for women, to the frustration of the caliph. Aided by the caliph's godson, she enables the caliph to see the error of his polygamous ways, and he eventually settles down with his wife.

The Queen of Babylon (1954), about a king's concubine that loves a Chaldean rebel in ninth-century B.C. Assyria. I Am Semiramis (1963), in ninth-century B.C. Assyrian Queen Semiramis loves an enslaved Dardanian king. mind u assyrians dont dress like egyptians

Fast forward to the 90s and early 2000s, the same stereotype surrounding SWANA ppl persisted Aladdin(1992), Aladdin meets Princess Jasmine, daughter of the sultan of Agrabah. They both have to deal with evil sorcerer Jafar from overthrowing Jasmine's kingdom.

Jasmine was sexualized (even tho shes a minor), she seduces Jaffar, and was put in a harem/belly dancer fit. the same portrayal of Arab women. The movie also features harem women. Jaffar w big nose, painting arab men as ugly, sinister and ruled by sexual desires, again.

Braceface (2002), the harem thing again. Totally spice (2002) with harem inspired fits Around the World in Eighty Days (2004) by Disney, Arab sheikh his wives that were objectified through the scenes.

After 9/11, “Arabs are terrorists” and xenophobic remakes towards arabs increased. Air Marshal (2003), The stone merchant (2006), The kingdom (2007), and many more all portrayed arabs as terrorists. Family guy(?) and shameless (2012, S2) with jokes about k!lling iraqis

Bratz: Desert Jewelz (2012) and Aladdin (2019) had the same orientalist themes as the 1001 Arabian nights (1959) and as well as the older movies.

Today, inaccurate and offensive Arab/SWANA representation is still the same. Arabs are either rich sheikhs, terrorists, or exotic belly dancers. not only that, u rarely see any arab or SWANA actor/actress get good roles, its always reduced to the terrorists role.

Whats mentioned in the thread isnt only harmful to how SWANA ppl are viewed, but how they’re treated as well. In 2002 to 2005, Philippe Servaty engaged in sex with over 80 Moroccan women, promising to take them to Belgium.

He asked them for sexual photos and photographed them in poses that could be seen as degrading. They included ejaculating on the face of a veiled woman and having another woman kneel, bound, and gagged while he urinated on her. After returning to Belgium, he published the photos.

with assyrians and persians ppl still use the same harem belly dancer clothing and its not even accurate. egyptians are always portrayed as belly dancers, also inaccurate.

SWANA ppl are still treated as fictional characters. Dune (2021) uses orientalist themes and is inspired by SWANA cultures. many offensive media made ab arabs, but wont i b able to fit all here. racism/xenophobia against ppl in SWANA didnt start with 9/11 and its not over either.

twt original thread here!

[meishagab]

Why will I pursue my college?

Only answer: my mother. I want to continue my dreams for my mother because she hasn't completed hers, and it's one of my mission in life to do so because she has been there to understand and support me in order for her kids to not experience what she had to go though. My mom is one of the people in the Manobo Tribe unfortunately, since her family has the lack of financial resources they never had a complete ancestry record, just pure memories passed down to us.

My mother never finished her college degree in elementary education, she's a smart, dedicated, talented and will be willing to do anything to pursue her dreams but fate didnt let her do so, the money that she lacks are needed for it. She got into many jobs, many places and met many people like my father. She worked in Antipolo, with barely food in her hands she takes random weeds outside the garden's and grasses of Oreta. Mama met my father and eventually got married because of me, now her goal is to only provide for us and, I want to do the same.

At a young age, I discovered my talent in drawing, from disney princesses on notebook covers and animations, I decided to take an animation course. I had my life in the future carefully planned even if my parents still provide for my colleges, I will do literally anything to get them out of financial burdens by doing jobs and finishing my college for my dream career. Since our family is also struggling financially at this moment, my mother suggested I go to a state university but all of them never had my course there, my mom had a change of mind and let me pursue my dream career so here I am, still fighting for my diploma and my deteriorating mental health just to finish and be fulfilled at my best by making my mom proud.

After analyzing thiss situation of mine, I realized that only the people in my life kept me moving, the words, actions and inspiration all mattered to me to keep going. The matter of pursuing my college is never my only fulfillment but for the better of others.

I've only ever seen this post in screen shots so im not sure who posted this originally on this fine ass site but i need to talk about it

Story time

As a young girl I as introduced to Star Wars by my uncle he loves Star Wars more than me and that saying something. He even LOVES the prequels... Which I admire him for.

Anyway I was brought up by my mum and dad on your traditional disney princess story i.e. Girl must find man to solve her problems and to be happy. Bless my mum she always tried to tell me that that I didnt have to do that but was like "whaaattt but cinderella had to find a prince so must I!" But heres the thing I never wanted to be the princess i wanted to be the one who did the saving but i felt like i couldnt because thats not what girls do.

Then!

Then I watch the original star wars trilogy for the first time my mind was blown (yeah yeah the bikini was a low point) BUT Here was a woman who was also a princess who was sassy could shoot a fucking gun and out talk most of the empire without trying. I found my first role model who i could truly relate to AND aspire to be like.

As i grew up misogyny became a thing i was acutely aware of (fucking high school bull shit) but i kept going back to my role model my princess and resisting the idea that i was a second class citizen just because I had boobs. I delved in the the interviews with Carrie Fisher and i grew to love her more than her character! She was a real person who told people to fuck off and did what she wanted. I love her so much

When she died it hit me hard, dispite never knowing or meeting me in person she had helped shaped me in to the woman I'm proud to be today. And now she's just not around anymore.

So when people say stuff about Star Wars in a negative way it hurts because it shaped a big part of who i am today. I'm just saying this so y'all know George Lucas did this by accident he didn't intend for Leia to be a bad ass woman Carrie Fisher acted her that way, so its not a perfect example of women in film. But sometimes you have to take what you can get. That is why star wars is my favourite films of all time forget the lightsabers and the cool bad guys in masks. It inspired an 8yr old me to love myself all because of one woman

Carrie Fisher you are an amazing woman and I love you and I'm sad you are gone

I will leave you with my favourite quote of hers that one day i will probably get a tattoo of

"Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What important is the action. You don't have to wait to be confident. Just do it, eventually the confidence will follow"

Now you’ve read all my ramblings please enjoy this thing I made

[robean-chan]

the new defunctland video on the disney channel 4-note mnemonic & disney channel's bumpers is really making me think about one piece's eyecatchers again, mostly about how only 5 seconds of music conveys SO MUCH about each character

luffy's horns are the most similar to the sort of adventurous themes in the OST - like set sail! (not me going "hey wow i know I've heard something like this in the anime" and then checking the full version of this piece again and YEAH i was thinking of the full version.) its adventurous and silly! the trailing notes of the melody feel like you're sailing, letting the music be carried away by the wind!

zoro's theme was once described as "sounding like an army of demons is approaching" and that's never left me. it screams early Zoro, a bounty hunter, trying to look at him through a hot atmosphere

nami's theme is lighter and airier; interestingly, its not overly mischievous. its calm, like a warm afternoon, like nami at her happiest (and then, a tiny rising sequence of notes plucked on soft strings, as if shes creeping around or behind you to steal)

usopp's is so chaotic - i dont know the exact musical term for them, but the arpeggios? runs? they evoke Usopp, well, running! He can't stay still, or hes fighting an enemy and cant take them head on

sanji's eyecatcher music also (memorably) appears in the anime, usually when he does something kinda cool or goofy! i dont know music genres well enough to describe it - is it jazz? blues?? if it were blues itd be a funny pun. either way i think this firmly communicates sanji's position as arguably the most important crew member (he feeds them; if he didnt feed them there wouldnt have been a crew to begin with) through its two strong piano chords & then the deep sturdy horns. but of course, the melody soars and croons a bit at the end, it's his goofiness

chopper has an emphasis on wind instruments, and the way they pull forward and back in the melody is reminiscent of his fear of people & the way he both loves attention and hates it. also it sounds somehow wild to me, like a trail of footprints from an animal

robin's sax (i think that's a sax, I am not a musical expert) is mysterious and mature, it knows what it is and doesnt try to do nearly as many things as, say, usopp or chopper's themes do. but its not closed off, either, the piano dancing upward in the harmony brings in some of robin's levity & humor, even as the melody is sloped downward

franky's theme is interesting to me because it was originally heard in alabasta during Usopp vs Mr 4, but nowadays it's so synonymous with Franky that it's hard to imagine it being used so generally! but the drumroll and the trumpets exude so much energy (the drumroll in particular feeling like a nod to franky's very first introduction) and then the last 3 notes just. SCREAM, in the best way possible. it's such a cool and exciting piece of music, and it's even cooler in its fuller state

brook's theme is haunted, okay! it very much suits his pre-timeskip self, especially the emphasis on orchestral stringed instruments (as opposed to like. an electric guitar or something funky, which might suit his post-soul king character better nowadays). but I like this a lot: the way it opens up frightening, like you're seeing him through the fog, and then it clears up and it's delicately silly. the hints of binks' sake, too

vivi's eyecatcher theme just sounds like a princess, like the kind of disney princess in a white palace from a culture that looks vaguely European in inspiration? it sounds like curtseying and practicing manners; it spirals downward before crawling back up, similar to how nothing seemed to ever go right for vivi through most of the alabasta saga

jinbe finally gets his own eyecatcher and...!! its Luffy's theme. :/ I assume that he'll eventually get an eyecatcher with his own theme, and that this is the music they'll draw from for it - with that in mind, this song has history to it, theres layers and drama. its sincere and determined and wholehearted and I cannot wait to see what they might use from it for an eyecatcher

that's not even to mention the artists who animated these! the OG wanted poster eyecatchers are iconic, and the more modern wanted poster eyecatchers that show important locations to each character are so cool & are an awesome updated take on the OG eyecatchers. My favorite ones, tho, are the spyglass eyecatchers! getting to peek in on the straw hats for a moment and have them interact with the viewer before panning to objects important or characteristic to them is so fun and says so much about each member of the crew and what they're like. they have the most personality of all the eyecatchers to me!

the one piece eyecatchers are so beloved and they have so much care and attention to detail in them. I'm by far a musical expert but I wish I was so that I could accurately point out what's happening in these 5 SECOND LONG(!!!) compositions to convey so much character in such a short period of time

[behindthekitty]

Apple Juice Royalty au!

Some of you might have seen my posts about it but basically i have created an au in which Epel is a prince and Deuce is a knight. I will talk more about them with their chatacter sheets ♡♡

First up our new prince Epel! If you cant read my handwriting I'll type it all out here

☆ Generally pretty emo

☆ Hates the cape and crown, but secretly likes the rest of the outfit

☆ likes horses and swordfighting and sports

☆ Was a boy in the village doin alright then he became a prince overnight now hes gotta figure out how to do it right so much to learn and see up in the c-

Epel is new prince adopted by the king. Under what circumstances, I'm not sure. Its possible his parents died and he was left all alone before Vil scooped him up. Despite what hes been given he's really miserable having to stay in the castle and learn a totally new dialect and manners and study all the time. He hates it. He wants to leave, and so he does. Epel escapes his home often. Also he's basically a disney princess at this point lol

About the outfit: Its based off of epel's dorm uniform and i also used some references from pinterest and Halloween costumes lol

Next is King Vil!

☆ In his 20's or so

☆ sighs a lot

☆ Having ro lead a country + lowkey raising a teen + looking good all the time is stressful

☆ But he manages

☆ Help

Vil became king, most likely when his father died. He decided to adopt an heir early on to save himself the trouble, but it really caused more trouble than it prevented. Epel's a handful and also really angsty. Dealing with him is bothersome, especially when he somehow keeps escaping even when Vil posts more and more guards around the castle, he always gets out somehow. It used to make him angry but he decided it wasn't worth the stress after a little while. Now he just sends people to go look for him whenever he escapes.

About the outfit: I used the same combination of references as I did for Epel, but i was also able to take influence from the evil queen.

Knight Deuce Spade!

☆ Takes his job seriously!

☆ a little too seriously!

☆ Obviously in love with Epel but will deny it to hell.

☆ Can't tall to Epel without blushing and sputtering

☆ Has a weakness for pretty boys

Deuce is a new knight trying to do everything right and make his mother proud. His backstory is the same as it is in canon. Wanting to do right by everyone ends up with him taking his job a little too seriously but he's also terrible at the job he tries so hard at. He's not a good fighter and also dumb. But lucky for him, nothing truly dangerous ever happens in their country.

His conflict is wanting to do his job right and also being head over heels for epel and wanting to see him happy.

About the outfit: I didnt design it, i stole it from some kid. But it fits him doesnt it? source

Chief Riddle Rosehearts!!

☆ Bite-sized knight

☆ Will actually destroy you

☆ Also tired of Epel's BS

☆ I wanted to draw him holding a sword :(

Riddle is another who takes his job very seriously. And he has to. He's the Chief knight and is thus the leader. Everyone has to follow his lead, no ifs ands or buts about it. If you argue, he'll yell at you and thats never fun.

Riddle is the guy Vil calls on whenever Epel escapes. At this point whenever Riddle is called in, this is what he expects the reason is. Riddle puts his all into finding Epel everytime and honestly cares more about it than everyone else does.

I wanted to draw him holdinga sword but couldn't figure it out

About the outfit: I couldn't find many refs of the kind of armor i was going for but it was fine. I took a lot of inspiration from his overblot form. Ignore the fact that he's on a tilt.

Other less important characters!

Trey!

☆ follows Riddle around

☆ Help

Cater!

☆ literally only became a knight to get closer to Vil (simp)

☆ commissions many paintings of himself

Ace!

☆ Messes around, isn't taking this seriously

☆ bad influence

Rook!

☆ Royal advisor

☆ What does he do? Vil doesnt even know.

Everyone else in hearstlabyul is a knight and so please imagine them in the same outfit as Deuce but with their respective symbols.

A lil plot i guess

Epel started sneaking out not too long after he became a prince. As soon as he had settled in he got tired of it. So he'd just leave. These early escapades happened at night whenever Epel was feeling especially emo. He'd normally go to the horse stables and take a ride to clear his mind, or climb a tree and stargaze, something like that. Stuff princes shouldn't do. He'd never leave the castle grounds, though. His secret was only exposed when Deuce found him. He should have reported Epel but that weakness for pretty boys and the empathy he's known for prevented him. It was basically love at first sight when Deuce saw Epel up close for the first time, not that Epel could tell.

After that, Deuce and the other knights (besides riddle) who gradually found out began helping Epel truly escape, like out into the real world. With their help, He could be out for a few days, or weeks even. And as Epel and Deuce start spending more time together, they get closer and closer 👀

My other ships might be here too but I don't really want to design an outfit for Rook lol so mostly just TreyRid on the sidelines maybe.

I do want to make a comic but uhhghnbchg i always quit those lmao I get so unmotivated.

Anyway thank you 4 reading! If you have any suggestions for this au, lmk. If you're wondering, I probably won't add any more characters to this au, since i see no reason to. this is it 4 now

[slashingdisneypasta]

Slashers / Horror Villains as: Animated (Children’s) Movie Villain Songs

+ A Nightmare Before Christmas 

First of all, its mostly Disney. Second of all, I hope you know that this was a struggle for me. 

Also, note, Bubba will be the only Leatherface in this post and Billy and Stu will be the only Ghostfaces. There is Norma Bates though, so sort of a consolation. 

There are links to videos on YouTube ^^

~~~

Billy Loomis and Stu Macher / Ghostface: Playing With the Big Boy’s Now (Hotep and Huy, Prince of Egypt) 

Well... they’re part of the ‘big boys’, now! They are part of the Slashers group that, uh, ‘inspired them’. Imagine instead of Egyptian Gods, they’re chanting Slasher names. 

[HUY] Pick up your silly twig, boy [HOTEP & HUY] You're playing with the big boys now! Ha ha ha ha!

[EGYPTIAN PRIESTS] By the power of Ra Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah Sobek, Sekhmet, Sokar, Selket Anubis, Anukis Hemsut, Tefnut, Meshkent, Mafdet... 

Chop Top and Nubbins + Bubba Sawyer / Leatherface: Kidnap Mr Sandy Claws (Lock, Shock and Barrel, Nightmare Before Christmas) 

I mean... they aren't Drayton’s minions, but they are like this XD 

I say that we take a cannon, aim it at his door And then knock three times And when he answers Sandy Claws will be no more

Yes you're so stupid, think now If we blow him up to smithereens We may lose some pieces And then Jack will beat us black and green

Kidnap the Sandy Claws Tie him in a bag

Chucky / Charles Lee Ray: In The Dark Of The Night (Rasputin, Anastasia)

Mystical man? Check! ‘Betrayal’ (As far as he sees it)? Check. Made them pay? Check; I think Nica, Sarah and all the other families he destroys throughout the franchise can attest to that. And ‘One little girl got away’? Well Andy isn’t a girl, but yeah. Check. 

I was once the most mystical man in all Russia When the royals betrayed me they mad a mistake My curse made each of them pay But one little girl got away Little Anya, beware Rasputin's awake

Drayton Sawyer: Don’t Fall In Love (Forte, Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas) 

Its such a crochety, unessessarily rude way of describing relationships to someone! I mean, I understand completely and resonate deeply with the desire to be alone and not be responsible for anyone else, but- come on! Beast doesn't share your view! Let it go! 

Its just like Drayton’s reaction to Bubba having a crush. Super cool video too! 

As soon as your heart rules your head Your life is not your own It's hell when someone's always there It's bliss to be alone

And love of any kind is bad A dog, a child, a cat They take up so much precious time Now, where's the sense in that?

Freddy Krueger: No More Mr Nice Guy (Rothbart, Swan Princess) 

A man with an uncomfortable relationship with the main female character pretending to be normal and not homicidal for a while before unlocking more power and letting there inner bad guy loose and taking great pleasure in it? Sounds familiar. They also have a similar vocabulary- except of course Rothbart is rated G. 

I'll become that nasty, naughty, dirty, spiteful Wicked, wayward, way-delightful Bad guy I was born to be

Lyin' loathesome, never-tender Indiscreet repeat offender No more Mr Nice Guy That's not me 

Inkubus: The World’s Greatest Criminal Mind (Professor Rattigan, The Greatest Mouse Detective)

‘Inkubus’ is literally a movie about him listing all his crimes over the centuries and messing with the police force because he has a bone to pick with a detective. Sounds pretty similar to me! Listen to the song! ^^

Now comes the real tour de force Tricky and wicked, of course! My earlier crimes were fine for their times But now that I'm at it again An even grimmer plot has been simmering In my great criminal brain! 

Jason Voorhees: Despicable Me (About Gru, Despicable Me) 

I... this is all I could think of!! But the more I listen to it and read the lyrics... it f i t s Jason so well! XD Please just let this slide; I know Gru isn't really a villain but he is at the start!! Let me have this. 

Why ask why? Better yet "Why not?" Why are you marking x on that spot? Why use a blow torch isn't that hot? Why use a chainsaw? Is that all you got? Why do you like seeing people in shock? But my question to you is "Why not?" Why go to the bank and stand in line Just use a freeze gun it saves me time. I'm havin' a bad, bad day It's about time that I get my way Steam rollin' whatever I see, Huh, despicable me I'm havin' a bad, bad day If you take it personal that's okay Watch, this is so fun to see Huh, despicable me

Jennifer Check: Trust In Me (Kaa, The Jungle Book) 

She’s a succubus demon. Tempting boys into a safe-feeling, docile state so she she can strike is her thing. 

Will cease to resist Just relax Be at rest Like a bird In a nest

Trust in me Just in me Shut your eyes And trust in me

Mayor Buckman and Granny Boone: Savages (Governor Ratcliffe and the Colonizer’s parts, Pocahontas) 

Obviously, because of the (Inaccurate) historical relevance of both movies (Different time’s, same terrible prejudice,) and also because there is definitely a very cult-ish feel about both Governor Ratcliffe’s song and Buckman’s leadership. How easily they’re able to gather support from their people for the most horrible reasons. How horrifying it is to audiences and historians. 

They're only good when dead They're vermin, as I said And worse

They're savages! Savages!

Barely even human

Savages! Savages!

Drive them from our shore! They're not like you and me Which means they must be evil We must sound the drums of war!

Michael Myers: The Gospel Truth II (Muses about Hades, Hercules)

In a Disney movie, Michael would have others sing his song about him as he goes about his silent, determined walking XD 

If there's one God you don't want to get steamed up It's Hades 'Cause he had an evil plan He ran the underworld But thought the dead were dull and uncouth He was as mean as he was ruthless And that's the gospel truth He had a plan to shake things up And that's the gospel truth

Midnight Man: Oogie Boogie’s Song (Oogie Boogie, Nightmare Before Christmas)

A song about a “Gamblin’ Boogie Man” is perfect for the Midnight Man! He and Oogie could be pals. 

Woah! The sound of rollin' dice To me is music in the air 'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man Although I don't play fair It's much more fun, I must confess When lives are on the line Not mine, of course, but yours, old boy Now that'd be just fine

Norma Bates: Mother Knows Best Reprise (Mother Gothel, Tangled)

Norma is soooooo so so so unbelievably manipulative towards Norman (And Dylan. It just works better on Norman) and this song absolutely presents that. She can go from sweet, loving mother to spiteful, heinous bitch in two seconds if Norman or Dylan don't do what or react the way she wants them to. 

Likes you? Please, Rapunzel, that's demented

This is why you never should have left! Dear, this whole romance that you've invented, Just proves you're too naive to be here Why would he like you? Come on now, really! Look at you, you think that he's impressed? Don't be a dummy Come with mummy

Pamela Voorhees: My Lullaby (Zira, The Lion King 2)

In a opposite approach to a villainous mother to Norma, we have Pam, who was heartbroken by the camp councillors letting her son die and vowed to get revenge. She didn't know she was teaching Jason to be the Crystal Lake killer like Zira did, but she did, and the whole song does have her kind of feel to it also. 

Sleep, my little Kovu Let your dreams take wing One day when you're big and strong You will be a kingI've been exiled, persecuted Left alone with no defense When I think of what that brute did I get a little tense But I dream a dream so pretty That I don't feel so depressed 'Cause it soothes my inner kitty And it helps me get some rest

Patrick Bateman: Cruella De Vil (Arthur, 101 Dalmations) 

Never before was there a song that described audiences reaction to watching Patrick living in his daily life and hearing his thoughts better then this one. 

Cruella De Vil Cruella De Vil If she doesn't scare you No evil thing will To see her is to Take a sudden chill Cruella, Cruella De Vil

The curl of her lips The ice in her stare All innocent children Had better beware She's like a spider waiting For the kill Look out for Cruella De Vil

Pennywise (Both): You’re Only Second Rate (Jafar, Return of Jafar)

Mostly for the video and Jafar’s energy in this scene actually XD So many transformations, so many tasteless puns! I was going to give this to Freddy but its the closest thing to Penny I could think of. 

Go ahead and zap me with the big surprise Snap me in a trap, cut me down to size I'll make a great escape It's just a piece of cake You're only second rate You know your hocus-pocus isn't tough enough And your mumbo-jumbo doesn't measure up Let me pontificate upon your sorry state You're only second rate

Sheriff Hoyt / Charlie Hewitt: Hellfire (Judge Claude Frollo, Hunchback of Notre Dame) 

A nasty filthy man who think’s he’s in the right despite being the biggest creep and monster ever? Mhm. 

*Note: I honestly didn't notice the deformed baby, Quasimodo/Thomas link until the day after I wrote this. Don't know how I feel about it. I mean, Hoyt is actually nice, in his way, to Thomas so the connection isn't totally there but onwards:

Beata Maria You know I am a righteous man Of my virtue I am justly proud

Beata Maria You know I'm so much purer than The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd 

End of Post! 🌼

(Bonus’ under the cut) 

I did think of other connections which I obviously didnt landed on but still have merit! Here! 

Billy Loomis and Stu Macher: ‘Gaston’ was considered, but that would have just been a joke XD I don’t think Stu is quite as obsessed with Billy as LeFou is with Gaston. 

Chucky: Friends on the Other Side. Obviously! That link was actually what inspired me to make this post. In The Dark of Night fits to a T though. 

Freddy Krueger: You’re Only Second Rate! Ah, its perfectttt. But No More Mr Nice Guy fits better. If I ever do a Slashers as Disney Villains post, he’ll be Jafar for sure. Or Hades. Or Scar. Or Oogie. Probably Hades. You know what? Without the gore and blood and explicit sexual references, Freddy could be a Disney Villain himself. Its not like Disney hasn't towed the line before with perverted villains. >_> (Jafar and Frollo) 

Jason and Pamela Voorhees: Mother Knows Best! Of course. 

Jennifer Check: Love is For Peasants (Barbie Island Princess) Because Jennifer thinks like this: 

Men? <<< Literally anything else. 

Patrick Bateman: How Can I Refuse? (From Barbie Princess and the Pauper) XD If Patrick were a kids movie villain, he would totally join the ranks of corrupted usurpers pretending to be trustworthy royal advisory staff. Also ‘Let It Die’, that little interruption part of another song that O’Hare sings in the Lorax and ‘How Bad Can I be?’.

ANOTHER TAG ASHJHJASD

extra long tag game (aka a tmi that no one particularly cares for)

tagged by @txthearteu​

tagging @markhyucknorenminchenji​ @qtsoobin​ @beomberry​ @txtdiaries​ and other people who wanna do it idk

ONE

tell me the first song that made you stan your current fave group and why did your faves attract you so much?

of course, none other than king943 hSJADJSAJHAS. He’s a little secret I’ll let you all in on: the first person I actually noticed in TXT was,,,,,,, Kang Taehyun hSDHJAHJSDAHSA but he wasn’t my bias. I just thought he was cute (also amused me bc my BTS bias was Taehyung and I found a guy named Taehyun cute), but I didn’t stan them then. I started stanning when I saw ONE DREAM.TXT where they talked to BTS and found them really cute and endearing. Looking into them, they were wild, and chaotic and so fun and also i got rEAAAALLY attached to Soobin. So here I am. There u go, my stanning story.

TWO

rule: answer the ten questions and write your own!

what’s your unrealistic goal for life?

becoming a famous actress or singer hJSHADJSA

if you had known that we would be in a global pandemic, what’s one thing that you would’ve done before things shut down (if they have for you)?

Went to a theme park. I miss going to theme parks 🥺

what’s an unconventional thing that you carry around with you when you go out?

hmmm most of the time i just go out with just my phone and money unless I need to bring a bag due to safety concerns/more items needed. So I’d say nothing unconventional.

favourite type of plushies and why?

God do I seem boring hsahsajjsa but i wasn’t too big on plushies. I had a gigantic teddy bear named Justin when I was a kid (it’s a bear with shades that my brother gave me) and I used to buy plushies whenever I’m in disneyland, it’s all in my sister’s reading lounge. The only plushie in my room now is a Mollang doll wearing like a blue shirt/dress, it’s my favorite rn It’s squishyyyy

favourite song right now?

right now, it’s Work It by Sabrina Carpenter.

something that you’ve always wanted to learn?

Dancing (i literally suck. i have no idea how. no joke), Vocal Lessons (had some lessons briefly for like a year but i stopped and want to take some again), music production, acting, hosting

tell a funny story about yourself (or just something that you’ve witnessed)

ok okok so one time in our class groupchat we were talking about class elections for officers. There were muse votes and some people were saying they want me to be the muse but i didnt want to bc i was busy with work. Then they started saying that they want me to be the muse and this guy that i rejected be the escort. while this is happening, i was simping hard for soobin in another chat. anyways, i got everything mixed up and accidentally sent the soobin simp stuff to the class chat and everyone thought i was simping for the classmate i rejected i was so asHAMED.

headphones or speakers? why?

speakers! idk i just like blastic the music loud.

craving any food right now? what are you craving?

anything with cheese

which music streaming platform do you prefer? why?

spotify since its free for me askjjksad someone pays for my subscription lmaooo

😌✌️

questions from cj to me:

android or apple? why?

APPLE because im loyal 😌 and i guess im just used to it so its easier to use for me + all my gadgets at home are mac

words of affirmation or physical affection? why?

I think there should be a good balance of both. The words will have the ability to give you this sense of comfort and satisfaction and you know just overall a peace of mind when you hear the right words??? and physical affection bc sometimes it’s just better to get a hug or a kiss isntead of talking yk? actions speak louder than words sometimes

bean bag or rocking chair? why?

Honestly, this would depend. If I’m reading a book and feeling very vintage with a hot cup of coffee, definitely a rocking chair. If I’m watching TV and basically just chilling I’d go for Bean Bag. I like maintaining the atmosphere.

do you view a half-filled glass as half-full or half-empty or an in-between? why? (go as deep as you can)

I view it as in-between, because there’s always room for improvement. There’s always things to change, and consider, and make better. There’s no such thing as perfect.

If someone were to grant your wish right now, what would it be and why?

Please stop corona right now and let everyone go back to their daily lives and please let me attend a TXT concert bls im begging on my kNEES

if someone were to give you anything you want right now, what would it be and why? (something that can be held)

Give me Soobin I just want to give him a hug. this is valid i can hold him

favorite season and why

Winter! Even if I’ve never experienced snow or winter before, the whole idea of snow is just really fun and endearing to me. One of my bucketlists is to see snow in real life. I think it has to do with the fact that I’ve always been this person to prefer the cold over heat.

what made you enter tumblr?

I’ve always been here! Just not in kpop tumblr. I’ve since deleted my old accounts and shame  but i came back to write. It’s always been so stress-relieving to me, to write without any expectations on my back because I’m thinking about grades or a competition. Also Soobin simping is a daily thing and I gotta release it somewhere man

are you happy with where you are in life right now? why or why not?

Yes. I may not be the richest or the prettiest, or smartest or whatever, but I have a good family that loves me. I have good friends that support me and I have TXT and BTS to help me cope when things get overwhelming. I have a job that gives me a little bit of income (it’s not too common for college students here to get jobs like in the US, most of them just focus on acads) and all the means to continue my education amidst the pandemic. So really, I’m grateful for where I am now.

to see the boys in real life but for it to happen only once in your lifetime, or to meet the boys via online fan meeting as many times as you can in your lifetime? why?

Why do you have to do me dirty cj,,,,, prolly online. I may not get to hug them or anything but I get to talk to them still. As may times as I want to. And as a girl whose sanity literally just depends on Soobin giggles rn it’ll be very therapeutic to me to see them and talk to them as much as I could, even just through a screen.

QUESTIONS FROM ME TO YOU:

Cinema or Netflix? Why?

Fire or Rain? Why?

What’s the worst experience you’ve had as a KPOP stan?

How do you handle stress?

Favorite Disney Princess and why?

Which fictional character do you say you relate the most to?

How did you get into KPOP?

What kind of merch you got 👀

Would you date a KPOP idol? What would you do if you do date one? (doesnt have to be your bias, just wanna see what y’all would do)

Would you rather be with someone you love but doesn’t love you back or be with someone that loves yu but you don’t love them back? (Or, as the Filipinos would say, Mahal ko o Mahal Ako)

"i am doing much better now and i'm fully recovered, and thank goodness i didn't wind up hospitalized again!!! apparently my narcolepsy fired up crazily when i started to fall ill, and that ended up confining me to my bed, which was absolutely horrible (especially since i couldn't talk to you 😞💕) we still don't know what the illness was, but luckily i fought it off fast thanks to my family and friend's quick thinking!! i'm much happier now that i'm here again with you 💖 (2/10)

(3/10)

i can never choose a favorite creative piece that any of you send in, i just love them all so much!! once again, thank you for all of your hard work and effort, i adore it each and every day 💕💕💕💕 thank you all for your well wishes and love!! my sister told me that apparently you mentioned something about people freaking out over me,, oh my! that surprised me a lot,, so any of those anons who read this, please don't worry about me!! (5?/10)

i assure you i'm okay, i just have a bad immune system and get sick easily, that's all!! but all of your concern means so much to me, thanks a million 💞 before i got sick, some friends came over since they wanted me to teach them how to ballroom dance for some reason,, it was very sudden but i was happy to do so nonetheless! i haven't danced like that in a long while, so it was quite exciting for me,, i am a dancer after all! (6/10)

i taught them how to do a basic waltz and tango,, they seemed to enjoy it a lot!! i suppose i'm a dance teacher now hehe 💞 oh, and last night, a friend slept over and we spent the night watching different televised comedy shows! stand-up has always held such a special place in my heart,, because when i was very small, i wanted to be a famous comedian for a long period of time,, silly isn't it? (7/10)

i would watch all of these different comedians perform and look up to them as inspirations,, i even wrote a few comedy routines to perform in front of my family when i was 4,, i guess i was really into it! now that i'm older, my aspirations have changed, but i still love to occasionally sit in comedy clubs with a glass of whatever i want, ahhh,, it never gets old ✨ (8/10)

ooh, and my mom and i were finally able to catch the escapee bunny from a while ago!! we brought him back to the garden, and he wouldn't stop following me around! i named him toffee, and he kept trying to jump on me for cuddles,, awaaaa it was so cute!! i can't wait to see him again 🌺 (9/10)

[qclueingforlooksq]

Alright, so I’ve learned some people find Sherlock BBC to be trash:

And that is ALRIGHT! I am completely fine with the opinion.

in fact, it was my favorite fanfic writer saying this. They write Rumbelle fanfiction which is very good. And if they see this and are alright with this, I will tag them in post so that you can check them out (because they are honestlyphenomenalohmy-)

I did find a video they watched called “Sherlock Is Garbage, And Here’s Why”. Now...this video is an hour long. And even if I hated the show from the get go (which I obviously don’t, I still say it is my favorite show ever despite it’s flaws because of the inspiration as an actor Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman have given me, not to mention the idea of being a director, writer, and actor all at once as Mark Gatiss is is a dream come true for me personally) I don’t think I could sit through a video that long that solely exists to point out why a SHOW is bad. 

But I DID look at the comments to try and see if there were any recurring ones, and there was the mention of Sherlock assuming someone is a drunk because they have scratches on their phone around the port. And I remember, even when the show first came out and I was around....12 years old? Maybe younger? I realized how dumb that was. I had an LG Expression at the time (for safety purposes, not cause my parents were giving an idiot child a phone) and scratched it up trying to charge it too. But I just laughed it off with my mom after commenting on it. We agreed it was a leap and moved on.

Another was the dog hair one where he said the guy had three dogs based on a few different hairs. That one I just found stupid too. Sherlock is in no way perfect. It is written by people who are NOT geniuses as Sherlock is meant to be and so Sherlock’s character suffers for it. And the last season? Well that was just an unnecessary rollercoaster, really. When it FIRST came out, I was floored and emotionally drained cause I was invested in the characters, but as an actress, I was just captured by the acting. I appreciate an actor/actress who can make a bad script work, and I believe the cast did just that, even if it was a bit overdramatic and out of character towards the end. But after rewatching the series a few more times (because I like to notice set-design and listen out for quotes to write down if I like them and watch for miniscule expressions in actors, etc.) I realized the flaws more and more.

But I still enjoyed the show. And I don’t think I ever won’t enjoy it. It has a special place in my heart. Blame it on nostalgia giving me bias, but the show, to me, is something I use as reference now. Sherlock was able to make me feel something towards the characters, to know they had layers (however shoddily put together at the end the were *cough cough* REDBEARD ARE YOU FING KIDDING ME IT WAS A CHILD ALL ALONG I MEAN MY GOD SMH-

It gave me genuine laughs and, once again, the actors were so well chosen, good at their craft, and invested that I fell in love with the people behind it all as well. This leads me to my next point: Once Upon A Time.

Once Upon A Time...is a crappy show. That is my opinion. The writing is meh, the graphics are subpar, the whole overarching story is thrown together as it goes like an unplanned fanfic, and they try to make everything make sense while suddenly adding new disney princesses like elsa and anna into the mix who they obviously didnt plan for and tried to make that work- siderant, Belle chose her memories over Anna like- what the- where did Belle’s character go all of a sudden? And dont tell me that was WHY she had sympathy for anything after that, this was just a stupid writing mechanic.

BUT- but...Robert Carlyle SAVES THE SHOW. Or at least keeps it afloat. His character is really well written despite the normal crappy writing for the rest of the show and the constant cycle of his character being bad then going good then being bad then finally being good but- oops, hes bad again crap. But Robert is also a fantastic actor who knows exactly how he wishes to portray Spinner!Rumple, DarkOne!Rumple, Mr. Gold, and even Detective Weaver. Theyre all different yet the same and very well done. I literally only watched the show for him and the relationship with Belle.

Now, once again- CRAH-PEE-SHOW. But I got almost all the way through it solely because of Robert Carlyle. So, my point is...even if you believe Sherlock is poorly written and a subpar portrayal of a fantastic fictional detective- is it really “garbage?”. Or at least, looking at Sherlock BBC as it’s own character and not based off the novel.

Rumplestiltskin is BASED off Rumpelstiltskin. But he is not him; he makes deals, spins straw into gold, even stole a child. But its all for different reasons AND he plays as the Beast in Beauty and the Beast.

So can we agree to not only appreciate Benedict Cumberbatch as an actor but also the character of Sherlock as something of it’s own creation. To not compare it to it’s superior counterpart and appreciate it for what it is: fanfiction. We all read fanfiction. Some of us even brave to write it. And there are bad ones and there are good ones. But I feel that most can agree that this is one of the better ones, no?

If we can love something like Rumbelle and see its great potential and appreciate it even though it comes from a pretty trash show; we can look at Sherlock and forgive its own crappiness to see what is good about it. And what’s good is dedicated actors who attempt to create a relatable character that is still fantastical to the average joe. Someone one can sigh and believe that, yes, they could be a sherlock one day (because really, Sherlock’s deductions are normally trash). But it makes people happy because they get it.

Sherlock is for the general public. For people who don’t have the vocabulary, time, or want to read the famous books but still want to take part in it. 

So it may not be the best show of all time, or at least the best “based off a story” creation out there, but it entertains people and makes them feel a bit smarter and gives likeable interesting characters with some silly jokes added in for fun.

We can appreciate that it wasn’t made to niggle the mind like the books were, but to just enjoy for a few hours. Not sit and watch mindlessly, but something to...watch with some friends or a significant other and discuss for a while, theorize about, have fun thinking about how deductions and mind-palaces work before moving about one’s day.

In conclusion: Sherlock is enjoyable for specific reasons, OUAT is too. Niether are perfect, but I love them both dearly because of their redeeming factors (coincidentally being the actors for both). And I think almost every show could have a redeemable factor about it if you look hard enough...

hihiiiiii

jhdskjahsd glad to see you enjoyed spy x family, it's so damn good, I would die for Anya, have some stuff i thought was great too dkjad

im finally replying to eeeeeeverything so brace yourself lol

Simone Ashley real life disney princess?? Yes. couldnt agree more, HER EYES JESUS CHRIST HER EXPRESSIONS AHHHHH i admire anthony's strength and resolve bc i wouldve asked her to marry me right after that first meeting

i mean, daphne did try to interfere but her dumbass of a brother went and proposed to another girl, at that point they just had to let them be, it was a lost cause

i felt edwina's half sister right in my fucking gut, that one hurt so badly

i would guess that the carpet moved while eloise was throwing everythign around, but yeah, it was an awful scene to watch even tho we all knew shit was going to hit the fan eventually

did you get to finish watching cbaw??? at this point im a little confused as to what i had already replied and what i had yet to do so dksajhdjk sorryyyy

what book did emily remind you of?? ive been in a slump and im only now getting out of it by reading vermillion bird (i hope i dont jinx it by saying this cause rn ive only read one chapter ksdjf)

i watched shubh mangal zyada saavdhan a bit ago and it was so fucking hilarious, when kusum ran away with the jewels i could not stop laughing and had to pause the movie, that woman is seriously crazy, and ahhhhh the scene where aman and kartik are dancing before goggle's wedding was so much fun, i wanted to join in bc they just seemed to be having such a great time (ignoring papa Tripathi's homophobia) and the music felt so good too ahhhh it was great, so great

as of right now my friend and i are halfway through heartstopper and i just ahhhhh its so perfect oh my god, i do have to wonder why they decided to add imogen but im not too bothered by her, tao is such a drama queen and i love him bUT WHAT DID THEY DO TO WILLIAM GAO'S HAIR OH MY GOOOOOD NOOOOO my friend is fascinated by Tori (as she should be) jhfsjhf I refuse to believe that Kit Connor went to audition for Charlie, I just refuse to believe it, he literally looks like Nick was pulled out of the comic itself and he went to audition for Charlie??????

yoongi is such an icon and my inspiration in my life but i do have to laugh at him getting roped into these things jdhjdhksd gotta love him

idk if i asked before but are there any other kpop groups youre really into??

hmmm since you only watch anime youve been recommended, do you have a specific genre you prefer or just about anything?? also, have you heard of jujutsu kaisen and owari no seraph?? i think owari no seraph is a bit more low key but it's great, im def recommending them both as well as doukyuusei, that one is a gorgeous movie that i have probably watched a million times

hmmm, in the end this didnt really end up that much a monster of an ask so i wonder if i left out anything, do let me know please!

have a great day, eat plenty of delicious food and stay hydrated!!

tons and tons of love and hugs,

-M<3

hi hi HI first of all thank u for reccing sxf cause i LOVED it and i finished the manga today and i cannot wait for the animated scene where [redacted] happens

praying everyday for anya's back cause she has the biggest responsibilities more than anyone in the world[academia & world peace]

YOR & LOID!!! lowkey hope the author pulls an arc where they both find out what the other does but dont say anything so anya is just there like(←_←) (→_→)

i think one of the reasons i enjoyed s2 more than s1 was mainly cause the writing pulled a lot more inspiration from bollywood, like even the kabi khusie kabhi gham rendition??? lokwey showing off

also! i watched mina le's review of s2 and apparently the way mrs featherington is dressed is to show that shes from new money and doesnt have the "grace" of ppl from "distinguished" families 😒

and so many other things but i also watched a video about simone's makeup for the show and how the makeup actually looks good on dark skin instead of just looking like makeup and i thought that was neat

the half sister line was so gut wrenching but seeing edwina burst out in anger was kinda satisfying ngl. when rewatching the final episode i kinda realized that kate did always have the anxiety of being viewed as only a half sister and felt like she had to take care of everything to even be viewed as family

i like the character of theo but was fully expecting a queer romance line for eloise & penelope like i wasnt the only one who thought they were fully hinting at it??right??

im still putting off watching cbaw😭😭

emily reminded me of this one horror book called what moves the dead by t. kingfisher[i only read a bit but similar vibes yk]

duude my reading slump got so bad i ditched my goodreads challenge. ive been trying to get back on track but . life

YESSSS ANOTHER ONE FOR SMZS!!! smzs was so good right?? the train scene (the one where karthik helps aman board the train not them making out) is so fking iconic😌 another thing i loved a lot was the metaphor of the cauliflower for homophobia [like parents thinking that "saving" theyre kids from queer stuff is good for them but it causes more damage than they think]

heartstopper was literally the best like the montages , the flowers and leaves from the comics edited into it?? the cast?? the kiss in the rain?? yasmin finney[special mention cause her outfits were fire]

i fully believe that the hairstylist had some kinda agenda against tao cause what was that hair😭😭 /j

kinda wanna see kit connor's audition for charlie👀 and speaking of! charlie spring!! i looved joe locke's portrayal like thats charlie spring

ik that some stuff that idols say is to keep up their image but some of the stuff yoongi says doth impact me. like him saying that he doesnt want to rework songs because he has made peace with completions of projects is part of the process[im paraphrasing but its from the how well do bts know each other project]

bts is the only group that im a proper fan of like theyre the only group whose comebacks i tend to follow while im a general fan of other kpop groups if that makes sense? i'd love to have a few recs cause i usually only find songs from insta edits

just about anything! ive started both owari no seraph and jujitsu kaisen![put them both on pause for a while tho] u cannot tempt me away from vampire and fantasy settings lol oooh ive heard of doukyuusei and def moving it up my list!! thanks for the rec😊😊

guess the only monster thats gonna be here is the huge hug im enveloping u in then

ur wishes are too kind and i wish the same and more for u💜💜💜

love, hugs and everything cool(for the temperate and also swag😎),

NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar  2018

was really really bad :(((((

Jesus (John Legend) cant really act or sing, Pilate (Ben Daniels from The Exorcist whom i was predisposed to like!!) didnt have a coherent idea of his role at all, and the direction was really stupid and lacking in subtlety in so many crucial moments.

the main thing is that they undercut Jesus. it’s not all the actor’s fault (although he certainly doesn’t help). they say the court is what makes a king: it’s twice as true for the Son of God. the way people around Jesus react to the holiness he exudes even at his darkest hour, the way he touches hearts, the way there’s something otherworldly and higher about him... it’s something we must be shown in the acting of the rest of the cast. and sadly this staging lacks that aspect completely. even if you believe that Judas is in fact the central character of this musical (I do in fact), without this feeling of holiness from Jesus Judas’s whole arc becomes flat and dull. the whole musical becomes dull: just another group of socially disaffected young people, what’s so special about them??? this Jesus was the worst at this that I’ve yet seen. he was actively unlikeable in every scene in the first act where he appeared; he came off as petty and dickish and self-aggrandising in his happier moments (instead of, y’know, nobly suffering from a fatal premonition and soul-sick from the deep love for the people he sees suffering in the darkness).

actually one good thing about this version is Judas (Brandon Victor Dixon) who certainly gives it his all. there are some questionable staging choices (also we don’t see any actual closeness btw him and Jesus so we’re not that invested in their relationship or their political disagreement or... their anything, sadly), but all in all he does a very good job. his jealous/sad/nostalgic look at Mary with Jesus! his suicide! the total pause in music before his ‘on thursday night you’ll find him where you want him’ is inspired.

Mary Magdalene (Sara Bareille) is this classically feminine beauty, she does a good job at being this naive touching young girl with a core of sweet determination who just wants everyone to be friends!! but it’s all so incredibly BORING as a character portrayal; everybody and their mother make out Mary as this Disney princess archetype, UGH. the music in Mary’s solo numbers is incredibly misleading (on purpose I believe); but in the lyrics it’s all about how she’s had a tough life and is actually pretty hardcore! i believe Mary should be cracking open before our very eyes in that solo she has, being truly afraid of this sea change in her that Jesus wrought, remembering how she was once actually innocent (and she hasn’t been that for so long she’s forgotten it!) etc etc. instead we get the stereotypical ‘girl pines after boy’. pretty but DULL.

Herod (Alice Cooper) was actually less cringeworthy than i always find him! he was really old powerful and scary. cold and chilling, didn’t give a shit about anything! amazing, in a word. none of the usual flighty foolery. i’ve always held that it’s impossible to completely salvage the stupid mess that is Herod’s number but this one came pretty close actually! my only regret is they didn’t cast him as Pilate.

and wow, Pilate. what a failure. anybody who’s ever seen a decent Pilate will know what i’m talking about; the fans of Ben Daniels probably don’t need to hear my hate. but, again: such a waste.

what else? staging was sometimes really cool (and sometimes not). i almost cried irl at their ‘could we start again please’ A+. Norm Lewis as Caiaphas is so cool and I’m always happy to see him! even if the role doesn’t lend itself to any complexity sadly. i could go on about individual staging choices in all the numbers but then i’d be here all night so

Usual workday on the circus: She enjoys practicing a lot, and takes inpiration from her fellow workers to create her routines (she may come out a little creepy while eavesdropping on random conversations, but its so comun for her, she doesnt see a problem in it). Also helps with whatever is necessary (though she might get distracted)

Skills/Talents: Is really good with kids and coming up with stories.

Thing they’re bad at: Often has trouble talking to people her age and older, and is bad at finding "grown-up" topics, since she is used to being around kids. Also gets distracted fairly easily.

Past: Born and raised in Firgrove, she grew up around nature. She didnt know her mother, and her father never wanted to talk about it, so she never asked. She never spoke with other kids so much and didnt have a lot of friends. The only person she confided in was a girl who lives near her: Mia.

Do they use any animals?: Not usually, her puppets may be horses (due to Aideen's story) or other animals though.

Do they usually succeed: Yes, she practices quite hard to make sure it all goes perfectly

Are they good at it: Yes!

Why do they do it: The always enjoyed telling stories and acting so, heck, why not do both!

Do they do it with someone else: Often alone, but often enjoys having magic tricks incorporated into it.

How do they dress during their performance: During performances where she, herself, is a character, wears whatever matches her act (a story about pirates? She dresses like one. Princesses? She'll be the knight. Aideen? She'll be the horse, if necessary! Otherwise, usually wears usual performer clothing.

What kind of music plays during their performance: Any that match what she's doing

Personality

Often has her head in the clouds. Is very bubly and enjoys having a positive view of the world. Being one of the youngest from those in the circus she appears even more like a child than she is. On the bad side, her attention span is quite short. Besides everything, she does know how to stand up for herself. If she gets mad at you (which has very rarely happened) you may see that she isn't as innocent as she appears.

[targsdaenerys]

let me tell you all a story. a story of my experience with ouat.

2012.

in fourth grade, i was watching american idol. during commercials, i viewed a promo consisting of a dragon and unicorns. now, at the time, unicorns were my ver y favorite, so of course, i was intrigued. i told my mom that i heard about a show with unicrons, but that i didnt know what it was called. she told me how she had heard of it and wanted to check it out. after watching the season one interviews between red and snow, she believed it was too old for me. i agreed. no unicorns. not what i was expecting.

2013.

a year passes. fifth grade was a blur, and all i know is that we went to disney. i had no idea what would change since then.

2014.

my friends are suddenly starting to talk about this kid’s eyebrows. how they are “so hot” and “sexy”. she showed me a picture off of robbie kay’s instagram and i laughed. ha, peter pan? whatever.

but then, it started to reoccur each monday, they would talk about it. i actually started to look forward to monday lunch periods. i begged them to discuss what they thought of the episode. once again, i was intrigued. 

so of course, i wanted to see what the fuss was about. whats this big deal with peter pan? and who the hell’s rumple after only a few clips, i suddenly loved snow and charming. i needed more. i needed to watch.

so i tried. desperately.  i only had an ipad, and was unaware it was on netlfix, so i tried to watch the first episode of the series by typing in “once upon a time season 1 episode one online free to any platform.i actually was able to find it and went in excitedly the next day to tell my friends. that was when i learned it was on netflix and thati could not wait to get home and watch it. so i did. but the thing is, i was only there for snow and charming scenes.  i literally only skipped to their scenes. thats how i watched the show.

but then, as i was scrolling around youtube one day looking forsscenes for them, i came across “Emma and Hook Kiss scene” my frirst thought? it was between “ew”and “serioulsy?”

i watched it anyway.

and to behonest, it was kind of just a “okay, that happened” kind of thing. it wasnt until my friend told me after the season 3 finle that emma and hook kissed again before i got alitle excited. not much more, though.

then months pass, and suddenly, scrolling around netflix, i come across the hunger games. i held a grudge against the series since it became big with the popular group in my school that year. but i was thirsty for romance. and i heard it had some.

and thats how i fell in love with everlark. one night. the next morning i started following pages on instagram. i look up the ship on googlge. and tumblr posts pop up. i make a tumblr.

i start to follow pages on there with everlark, but then i start to see things on both platforms. emma and hook. and then, i slowly started to fall in love. not much. i just watch a couple of their scenes during season three, come across their second kiss. getting really, really excitated for the fourth season.

at the point, i had written about two everlark fanfictions. i wanted to write one about emma and hook, but i had no i dea how. or what .

but then tumblr inspired me. to the point where i started to freak out over every episode no matter how small the scenes were. in october of seventh grade, i wrote my first captain swan fanifction. i also drew my first drawing that i never thought i was able to do. sure, it was with a sketchbook my aunt got me in second grade and a #2 pecil, but i believe its still beautiful. it wasnt long after i actually found the name, captain swan, rather than using “kemma” or “killimma”.

2015.

and from there, my obsession sky rocketed. i stayed up until four every night after an episode, despite schol the next morning. i wrote little drabbles that arelong since gone ever since my laptop broke. i drew more drawings, i rewatched every scene until thats all that was in my head.the s4 finale was as hard on me as everyone else, and i tried to write a specualtion fic to the s5 premiere. i neverfinshed. although, looking back at the writing now, i can still feel the pain i was in by it.

and then season five started. again, i freaked out as much as everyone else. every episode. i still remeber the week after the first episode, we lost someone int he fandom. we miss you, love.

and then it was late october.saturday the 22nd, my mom came into my room to ask me if id seen my friend alyssa that day. she was a year older than me, afreshman in highschool. i didnt, so i told her. i didnt ever think what might have been.the following day, i was working at the food pantry when my mom caled me.they had found alyssa. but she wasnt okay.maybe in her mind she may have been the best shes ever been, but to us,she wasnt.

no one else knew, and i had to walk home in silence. i didnt cry because at the time we werent as close as the year before and it didnt hit me.but then my mother’s words repeated in my head. “Alyssa died, sweetie.” it was asentence i never forgot.

im not the best at keeping my emtions with myself. i always think people will judge me and call me selfish if i cry, and i didnt want it to be like that. so i kept it in.i kept the tears in for so, so long, even to the point here i didnt even cry at her wake where she looked like an angel although the scarf around her neck was something shed never wear. and what kept my sanity? once upon a time. it was then when i realized it was my anchor. 

2016.

back in 2015 my mother made me audtion for a vocational school. earlier that year i had found its dance program and wanted to go, but along the way my intrest dwindled. she told me to give it a shot anyway because i had a very low chance of making it in due to my grades at the time. 

i made it in. 

the following months were the worst of my life. every day on the way home from dance wed fight about which high school was better, and although she was right about me going to the vocational one, i wanted to stay in my district. lets just say the only thing that kept me from following alyssa into the darkness was dance competitions. oh, and what else. the damn once upon a time episodes.

she forced me to go to that school, by the way. sure, i enjoy it now, but the people there suck and i still do not like how she went at it.

that fall, i take my friend to our first convention.since i started watching oneupon a time, i wanted others to watch it, and my one friend agreed to. until the end of the neverland arc.  and peter pan died. no more ouat for her. but, since robbie was going to be there, lets go. she got a picture with him, i got a picture with bex. yayay.

2017.

last week, we experienced the best sunday of our life. a wedding we never really thought would happen. it was unbelievable. emma got her happy ending(or beginning) aand we got ours. it was so thrilling that even my friend who stopped watching in season three was excited. but as much as it was unbeliable the night, the following morning was too.

that was the most giddiest i had ever felt for school. every more we have a forty five minute bus ride and the but whole time i listened to the musical on repeat. but then, as i looked down to pause the music as we pulled into school, i saw my friends text. Jen’s facebook post.

i was in a daze all day.

it wasnt until lunch, the last period since it was a half day, where i just broke down. people asked me what was wrong and i explained as best i could, but shitty people have shitty outlooks on things and they didnt understand. it was the loneliest ive ever felt.

my mom kind of comforted me, telling me how she felt the same when parent hood ended and that ill find a new show ill like just the same, but one upon a time is special. no show can replace or even add onto what kind of mark it had left on me. it was what started my career in wririting and drawing. in someways it kept me alive. and what did people do when i told them this? they laughed.

it was tuesday night when i ran down stairs, telling my mom about convention tickets for colin and jen photo op i found on sale. we had them in mind for awhile, but never got them. she told me wed look into it. we missed the sale.

so here we were, here i was, aall i was able to think about was how id never meet the people who played the characters that shaped me and my future. until the next morning, my birthday, where i was given the tickets.

and today,to night, was pretty much the end of the storybook. im not going to go into it because i have it on a post from about an hour ago. but thank you everyone, for helping me be me. and thank you for this blessed oppurtuniy, in which i had never and will never take for granted, to be a part of such a magical communtiy. because of this platform i have aspired my career of writing, drawing, and fulfilling my dreams of being a princess by being able to contact disney about the program.if it wasnt for this damned, beautiful fucking shwow, i would probably bedrastically different. this story we created is timeless, a neverending fairytale in both real life and on screen. the story contiues for ever and ever in our hearts and writing and drawing and all of the incredible talents we all have.

[actuallyschizophrenic]

this is entirely unrelated to my blog but like... i dont think people understand one of the major reasons i love disney so much is that it got me through hard times repeatedly, starting from when i was little and didn’t even comprehend my situtation yet. as a 5 or 6 year old kid, i had no idea what abuse was but it was something i was dealing with and it was so alientating and i felt entirely alone as a little child but something that was really important to me back then was cinderella! i didnt understand why i latched onto her when i was so small but i understand now that i saw a person in an similar situation to mine, abused by her mother and in a home where she didn’t feel safe, with no friends besides any non-human thing that she could interact with, and i saw the story of an abused person who continued to be kind and grew up to get out of her situtation and grow to be happy. it made me feel so much less alone knowing i wasnt alone in my unfair treatment, that i wasnt just upset for nothing, and that i could still be a happy person some day even if i wasnt then. i didnt get why back then but that was major to me, and growing up i kept her (and all the disney movies for different reasons but this one character especially) in my mind because god damn, i saw someone who got me through shit that a child should never have to deal with and that’s so important to me.

i’ve never seen the live action movie because i kinda refuse to see remakes of movies i already count as masterpieces so i’ve only seen the remake of pete’s dragon (terrible movie to begin with, needed to be remade or entirely forgotten), but i love cinderella so much. i love the character and the fact that she was such an inspiration, and god i hate people who claim she’s anti-feminism or a bad role model for kids literally only because she’s feminine. she didn’t need to slay a dragon or blow off her prince to be important to me, she survived abuse and showed 5-year-old-me that i could too.

so if you ever wonder why i love disney so much, that’s why. it’s mostly because it’s helped me through a lot, the princesses especially, and cinderella maybe the most when i was young. that’s why it makes me so happy now, that’s why i’m so passionate about it. it’s the one thing that makes me truly happy and it’s gotten me through a lot.

i’m so done with people who claim cinderella is anti-feminist because she’s a “bad role model for girls”

like, yeah, we all love our action girls who kick ass, take names, and handle business themselves. but we don’t need to tear down cinderella to prop up those characters. and seriously – cinderella was stuck in an abusive home with no place else to go. in her time period, her only way out of her stepmother’s house would be to get married. (and no, she doesn’t go to the ball to find a husband. she goes to the ball because dammit she wants to go to a party and have fun. meeting the prince was just a bonus.) she couldn’t get a job, and even if she just ran away, where would she go? she really didn’t have any other options.

and “bad role model”? let’s review the lessons cinderella teaches.

never let others crush your dreams

no matter how bad things may seem, hold onto hope

no matter how bad your situation is, find joy in whatever you can, no matter how small

even if you’re surrounded by people who degrade you, there are people out there who will love you and care about you

don’t let cruel people twist you into being as hateful and bitter as they are

if someone really loves you, they won’t care whether you’re a princess or a servant

even if you choose to forgive your abusers, you are completely within your rights to walk away from them forever when you have the chance

small bravery, the kind it takes to get through the day, is often overlooked, but it’s still important

no matter how much abuse and pain you’ve endured, you can still find your happy ending

ah, yes. such bad lessons. sure.

i think the live action remake sums it all up perfectly:
