I just had to dust this account, because I feel like this is very important. So, let me transcribe a convo I had with my mom about the upcoming "Lilo & Stitch" Live Action:
Me: Remember the huge argument there where some time ago about The Little Mermaid Live Action?
She: Yeah.
Me: I feel like there will be a new one.
She: Why?
Me: There will be a Lilo & Stitch Live action.
She: So?
Me: Remember Nani?
Her eyes grew big.
She: Don't tell me she's blonde now.
Me: Well, not blonde. But her skin tone is way lighter than the original.
She rolled her eyes.
She: And that is not realistic for that country, right?
I raised an eyebrow, because THAT is the point I am trying to make.
Me: Let me remind you Nicole Kidman is Hawaiian.
Boy, her eyes grew bigger. You see, I've seen many complaints about her skin tone, and bringing back Halle Bailey and The Little Mermaid again. And you know what? This is so stupid.
I hadn't seen TLM yet, so I cannot talk about her acting abilities, but Halle has an amazing, special voice. Sadly, that got buried under a bunch of people who couldn´t see beyond her skin tone and terrible CGI.
If you want to talk about Sydney, know first that she is Hawaiian. She was born there. She was raised in that culture.
I deeply regret not fully supporting Halle Bailey at the moment. But now, If Sydney Agudong will ever read this, this is a message for her:
Girl, you will do amazing. Last CGI Disney movies had a questionable quality, and they ended up relying on their main actors. Halle shut people down with her voice, you will do so through your acting.
Congrats on being chosen as the best big sis in the history of animation!

I just learned from a coworker that Lilo and Stich is apparently getting a live action remake and I just know it’s gonna look like shit.
The only Lilo and Stich remake I would accept would be if a Film Student who was born and raised in Hawaii redid the movie shot for shot and had a budget of 700 American Dollars.
I want stich to be a poorly ADR’ed dog that they spray painted blue. I want locals with absolutely no acting experienced to be cast and just have fun with it. I want boom-mics clearly visible in shots. I want all the space aliens to be just people with face paint and maybe a mask sometimes. I want cheap practical effects that look good because the people behind it put their heart into it.
I don’t want any more hyper realistic computer animation that ends up looking like trash. I’m so sick of it.

Wish is just a normal Disney film just like all the rest.
Wish is actually a damn good movie, there I said it!
I'm going to start by saying this much, it's very odd to me that so many people are now screaming for a love story from Disney, when not even five or ten years ago there was shouting from the roof tops about Disney doing TOO MUCH romance. For the longest time it was "I wish Disney wouldn't do pairings" "Ugh another romance, can't the princess not." Etc. Now everyone wants one, even though Romance isn't really as big a Disney trope as people think.
Actually let's go through the animated catalogue and see how frequently the love story is centered as the main conflict and asperation to the character. In this case it's the key thing, not a 'Oh they happen to like each other in the end' situation, it's THE thing, the point of the movie is their romance. Then let's see how many have it as the secondary aspect, and let's see how many have it as not important at all. (And we're talking romantic love, not family love)
Romance (Total number: 15)
Snow White, Lady and the Tramp, The Aristocats, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Secondary Characters hook up so this is a weird one), Doug's First Movie, Tarzan, Lizzie McGuire the Movie, Enchanted, The Princess and the Frog (Only from Naveen's POV), Tangled (could be seen as secondary too)
Secondary (Total Number: 25)
Fantasia, Bambi, Make Mine Music, Fun and Fancy Free , Melody Time, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Cinderella Sleeping Beauty
One Hundred and One Dalmatians , Robin Hood, The Rescuers , The Fox and the Hound , Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Rescuers Down under
The Nightmare before Christmas, The Lion King ,Hercules ,Mulan ,Fantasia 2000 , Dinosaur, Atlantis the Lost Empire , Meet the Robinsons , Frankenweenie ,Frozen, , Strange World
Not in it at all (Total Number: 42 -including Wish)
Pinocchio, The Reluctant Dragon, Dumbo, Saludos Amigos, Victory through Air power, Three Caballeros, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan
Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective
Oliver and Company, Ducktales the Treasure of the lost lamp, A Goofy Movie, James and the Giant Peach, The Tigger Movie
The Emperor's new Groove, Recess School's out, Return to Neverland, Lilo and Stich, Treasure Planet, The Jungle Book 2
Piglet's big Movie, Brother Bear, Teacher's Pet, Home on the Range, Pooh's Heffalump Movie, Chicken Little, The Wild
Bolt, Winnie the Pooh, Wreck it Ralph, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Moana, Wreck it Ralph 2, Frozen 2, Raya and the Last Dragon, Encanto, Wish
These are just the animated not live action, and not live action with animation movies. All in all it's more common to see a Disney film with NO romance in it at all then a romantic one.
So why is it that people keep saying, but we're missing the romance, it's because of the fact that most of the time the Parks and other media pair the characters together. Take Peter pan, in the movie, the boy is utterly oblivious to Wendy's affections, to the point of pissing her off enough that she leaves the party that the tribe is hosting. In the parks, and other media (the plays, other movies) the romance is in your face, because people want them to be a couple, but in the movie itself you never see it.
Star, based on the making of book, was supposed to be a younger version of Asha's grandfather, which fits the theming of the movie. However, from what I understand, one of the reasons why they went against is was because it was hitting to close to Genie in the shape shifting. On top of that, the character of Star, seems heavily inspired by the art work of William Joyce, who created Night Light.
This is him and Katherine (Future Mother Goose) who is basically Star in a lot of ways. He lights the night to keep the nightmares away. These two eventually grow up (He remembers He's jack frost) and they end up as a couple.
It would be apping off of that story, and sadly people didn't give the William Joyce movie Meet the Robinsons a chance (don't sleep on that folks please! It is a good story.)
Also straight up give more love to the Guardian's of Childhood, you'll be happy while you read it.
I'm not saying don't ship it, what I am saying is that please don't go saying this was planned when it really wasn't. That was supposed to be her grandfather there.
And I'm not against the art work, I find it very cute and sweet and lover the designs. But I do think that the whole, "WE WERE ROBBED!" thing isn't being at all fair to the creative team behind this story, as again, *points up* they were following the tradition of a story that doesn't have a love interest, which is the vast majority of the stories that they tell.
Wish perfectly falls in line also with Disney's normal length of animated movies.
Wish was 1 hours and 35 minutes
The movie that came out before it clocked in at
Strange World = 1 hours and 42 minutes
Moana = 1 hours and 47 minutes
Frozen = 1 hours and 42 minutes
This Hour long movie thing started really with Atlantis the Lost Empire = 1 hours and 36 minutes
While Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, Lilo and Stitch all clock in around =1 hour and 30 at most, some are even less than that. Wish's run time is equal to that of Atlantis, or Aladdin, or Treasure planet. So I'm a bit perplexed on the "It's too short" thing. Maybe growing up just before and during the days of Little Mermaid and Aladdin made me like the shorter tales.
Which is another point. With a shorter movie, you never get complete backstory. It's a fairy tale! I mean, look at Little Mermaid. Seriously can you Name any of her sisters from the opening song.
Like seriously, I don't really know a lot of people who can tell me anything about Aquatica, for example. Unless you actually read the books or watched the TV show. And before then we had nothing. Nothing on her mom, nothing on her sisters.
Then there's the town Belle comes from, what do we know about it? Not much, not even who governs the damn thing. Howe about Aladdin before the TV series and King of thieves cleared up everything. We didn't know who his parents were, nor Jasmine's mom. Hell we still don't know anything about Cinderella's father from the animated movie.
Point being, a lot of information, much like Wish, got cut for time. In Snow white we were supposed to be given a longer back story for her father and mother, that was cut due to it being to long, it's in the golden book though. Prince Florian (Yes that is his name) was supposed to have Prince Phillips escape, but it was deemed to hard to animate at the time.
Also there was one that was dancing on the clouds, with STARS, around them that looks very much like you know, our Star.
So basically, he's a nod to what could have been for Snow White all those years ago. Cut for time.
Aladdin had a whole cut song because they chopped his mother out as she was supposed to play a part in the movie and help her son with the Genie.
Zena is her name and she was cut to streamline the film.
Maid Marian in the original Robin Hood was supposed to protect him after his plunge into the water, and protect him from King John while he's threatening her. King Richard appears in the end and scares him into stopping but she's willing to take a dagger to the chest to protect Robin.
This is when Richard meets Robin with Marian telling him all about what happened.
All Disney movies change. Isabel in Encanto was supposed to have a nerdy boyfriend that the family disapproved of.
Hell, Frozen was at one point going to be the Bad guy wins the guy, the hero (Gerta) that we followed all the way to the end rooting for her, was supposed to be a gold digger, and Kai was supposed to say "Nah, I'm gonna stick with the Snow Queen" because she's sad and your a bitch. (Thanks Eisner, I hate it!)
So yeah, there's probably A whole lot of cut content that was supposed to go in, but to streamline it to 95 minutes, you have to cut! At least it's not what happened to the Black Cauldron. No I will never forgive Katzenburg for that travesty!
Disney always used Popular Music over Broadway
Honestly this is the one complaint that I hear that kills me the most about this movie, that the studio went with a pop music team. As if this is not a common thing for Disney movies!
Fun fact, the team behind most of the musical scores up until the 1960s were all composers and musicians that wrote songs for the radio. Or song writers that did radio music. If I listed every single one we'd be here for ages.
The Sherman brothers actually wrote pop tunes for the Teen sweetheart Annette Funicello and several other well known singers and actors of movies.
The first major Broadway group was Ashman and Menken, Followed by Miranda, and the Lopez's. Most, if not all of the biggest Disney songs were written by pop songwriters, whos goal it was to get that song played on the radio.
Hell The Lion King, Tarzan, The Emperors New Groove, and Treasure planet to name a few were all done by Pop musicians. I didn't hear complaining about it back then! What's the difference now? Because the team is not Elton freaking John, or Sting?
All of Oliver and Company was pop songs. Several movies didn't have songs, or only had one.
If we're going to celebrate a studio that helped bring an artform out of it's infancy and show that you could do a full movie of animated pictures where you get emotions out of it, we need to celebrate all aspects, and that includes things we may not realize are kind of unique.
When Hercules and Hunchback came out, people complained about them not being "Traditional" Disney. It was Gospel, it was too dark, or in the case of Tarzan, why are we following a boy, or Treasure planet, "Yuck a space story". Now people adore these movies. People who grew up with them want to celebrate them, and sometimes they don't realize that they were once derided as hard or harder than Wish is being right now.
I just wish that people would give these movies a chance rather than not let the creatives tell their story. We had a whole damn section of 2D animation in Strange World! No one talked about it! No one went "More of this please". Give me these stories, let me enjoy a original fairy tale, because if we keep rehashing things, there's going to be little to celebrate when the next 10 or 20 years rolls around.
Sorry for the kinda rant. This has just been on my nerves for a while.

Frozen live action rumour!
Cover created by me
According to this site, here, a live action Frozen remake is in the works. Love actions we know are and confirmed to be in the works are Snow White (coming in March 2024), Mufasa: The Lion King, Moana, Lilo & Stich, Hercules and Bambi. The rumoured ones in the works are A Sword in the Stone, Aristocats, Robin Hood, Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Frozen and Tarzan.
That's a lot of love action remakes in the works. It even includes Frozen, with Frozen 3 still in the works! Jen Lee did say that if there was more to tell of the story, there would be more movies. So while the franchise is expanding, the live action remakes are too. I guess it would be cool to see how it's interpreted in love action form; to see what changes and what's kept. This could be a chance to fix the plot holes that are mostly surrounding Hans. They could actually do quite a lot with Hans' character in a live action remake. I'm also certain they'll keep Let it go. Maybe this live action remake inspired the future of the main franchise, and also takes inspiration from the Broadway adaptation.
What do you guys think about all this?

Ok so hear me out:
(in this au, Shiro took Keith in at a much younger age)
Adam trying to win Keith over while trying to woo Shiro?
Yes Yes Yes
So if you have seen Lilo and Stich, I’m going for the sibling relationship Lilo and Nani. Shiro is Keith’s legal guardian but big brother <3
-----
“Who is that?” Adam whispered to his classmate, his eyes glued to the boy who entered the room.
“Huh? Oh, that’s Takashi Shirogane.”
He sent his friend the side eye, “and how do you already know his name?”
They rolled their eyes, “he literally got the top score in our entrance exam? And look at him! Total hottie.”
Adam allowed his eyes to look back at the other guy, who took a seat a couple of desks away from him. He looked his height, maybe slightly shorter. His undercut was fresh and he had to have something in his hair to make the top of his hair fall like that. He was muscular, defiantly someone who took care of himself.
A sharp pinch appeared on his side and he smacked his friend's hand.
“Stop staring, it’s rude.”
“I wasn’t staring!” Adam whispered back harshly.
“He might not even like men.”
Adam felt his heart drop, a painful reminder that his dating pool is limited. He stared at his desk, tracing the different colors of the wood with his eyes. “Yeah...you’re right.”
A comforting hand was pressed on his upper shoulder blade. “Chin up buddy. It’s the first day of the semester, you’re going to meet plenty of people.”
He gave a weak nod, looking forward as the teacher walked in.
---
“Adam right?”
Adam nearly fell out of his chair, being snapped out of his daydream of actually flying instead of learning about how to fly. “Uhh yeah?” He looked at the voice, Takashi staring down at him with an easy smile. Why is he talking to me? And how does he know my name? Take a breath Adam, just in and out. Just like we’ve done since birth. He prayed his inner turmoil wasn’t readable on his face.
The other guy laugh, the sound rumbling in his chest. Adam wishes he could save it to memory. “We’re partners...for the project?” He nodded his head at the bored.
“Partners For Developing Your Own Flight Plan To Kerberos!” Was written in black marker.
“Oh yeah...the project,” Adam took his glasses off, pretending to clean smudges that weren’t there.
“You were zoned out weren’t you,” Shiro stated. A humorous smile on his face.
“Wh-what? Me? Zoned out?” He cleared his throat, ignoring how his face felt. “I was just...seeing if you were paying attention...?”
Takashi laughed again, throwing his head back at the action. “Understandable,” he extended his right hand. “I’m Takashi.”
Adam took his hand, trying not to focus on the string grip on Takashi's hand. “Nice to meet you.”
---
“So I was thinking after dinner we could start the project? My roommate will be at their partner's dorms so it’ll just be me in mine. But whatever you’re comfortable with.” He held onto his backpack straps as they walked down the hallway. Attempting to keep his persona cool. He was only inviting the hottest man he had ever seen in his life to his dorm.
She rubbed the backside of his undercut, his eyes on the ground. “I actually will be gone before dinner. I leave the grounds around threeish. Right after our last class.”
Adam sent him a confused look. “Do you not live on campus?” Freshmen weren’t allowed to live anyways but in the dorms. Juniors and Seniors could get other housing but it would still be Garrison housing.
“I don’t...it’s complicated.” He smiled. “I can give you my number and we could call later to work on it.”
Adam nodded, pulling out his phone. He quickly unlocked it and got to the contact screen. “Here.”
Takashi quickly typed in his info before handing it back. “I can call any time after 19:00!” He started to move down the hall. Leaving Adam still confused.
---
He ran his hand through his hair again. Groaning with the short strands didn’t stay where he needed them to. “Come on! Just stay where you need to be.” He mumbled to himself, hesitantly checking the clock. They were going to call at 19:15 and it was currently 19:13. He didn’t have time for this.
He grabbed his glasses and sat down at his desk, propping his phone up on his laptop. Opening his notes right as his phone began to ring. He took another deep breath and accepted the video chat. His voice died in his throat as Takashi appeared on the tiny screen.
He wasn’t in his Garrison Uniform, though he did make that orange work. Instead, he wore a white baggy hoodie. With a logo Adam didn’t recognize and the top of his hair was pulled back into a very, very small bun. “Hey, how was dinner?”
Adam cleared his throat, did he talk to everyone this casually? “Good...y’know cafeteria food.” He paused, “unless you don’t. But you aren’t missing much.”
Takashi sent him a toothy grin. “I’ve heard horror stories.” He leaned out of frame for a moment, repapering with his notebook. “Want to get started?”
They worked for over an hour, making good progress until Takashi looked at something off-screen. “Yeah, buddy?”
Adam stopped talking, holding his breath unknowingly.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll be right there okay?” Takashi looked back at the camera. “Sorry, can we call it a night? Something came up.”
Adam nodded, “yeah no problem. See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, see you!” He ended the call, leaving Adam in a still silence. Who was he talking to?
---
Adam rubbed his eyes, flopping down in his seat. He stayed up too late watching movies.
“Wakey-wakey Adam,” his friend snapped his fingers in front of his face.
“I’m awake,” he crossed his eyes, sinking back in his chair. “Did you start your project?”
His friend scoffed, “no, it’s not due for like two more weeks.” They gave Adam a quick glance. “Did you?”
Adam hummed, “started it last night.”
“Ohh you actually worked with Takashi? Didn’t try and kiss him?” His friend nudged his arm.
Adam rolled his eyes, sending Takashi a small wave as he entered the room. “Yeah...we got some work done.”
---
“I have to say,” Iverson took his reading glasses off his face. “This is the best plan anyone has come up with for a project like this.”
Takashi nudged Adam’s arm, smiles forming on both of their faces.
Iverson sent them a professional smile. “You two clearly work well together. Would you two be interested in a side project? It’ll look good in your academic folder. Might open more doors in the future.”
They both nodded, not feeling the need to discuss it with each other. They did work well together.
They exited the room, smiles plastered on their faces. Each holding a folder of the next project. “So are you heading home? Since Mrs. Dominic's class was canceled?” Adam asked as they headed down the hallway, their shoulders brushing against each other.
Takashi shrugged his shoulders. “I was thinking about it. But that would put me home almost three hours early. I won’t know what to do with myself.” He chuckled.
“Well,” Adam stopped walking, tightening his hands around the folder. “We could always get a head start on the project? The libraries are nice to work in, but you have to reserve a study room twenty-four hours in advance...and then I have my...dorm...?”
Takashi turned to face Adam, having taken a couple of steps after he stopped moving. “Why did you say that like a question?”
Adam shrugged, praying the other boy couldn’t see the heat on his face. “I just-” he cleared his throat. He needed to get over this unrequited crush.
Takashi laughed, “we can do it to your dorm. I just need to leave after 15:00.”
“Copy that,” Adam began to walk. Leading the way. They chatted back and forth as they walked, Adam scanning his badge to unlock his dorm. “Welcome to my lovely abode.”
Takashi whistled as he walked in, “living in luxury I see.”
“You know it,” He slipped his bag off, hanging it on the hook at the end of his bed. “Make yourself at home.”
Takashi took off his own bag, pulling out the chair to Adam’s desk. His leg bobbed up and down.
Adam slid off his orange jacket and climbed into his bed. Sitting with his back against the concert wall. The folder in his hands. “Did we want to start?”
Takashi nodded, placing his folder on the desk, his eyes falling on the picture frame. “Awe is this you?” He gently grabbed the frame, lifting it up to his face.
Adam ignored the embarrassment that bloomed in his gut. “Yeah...I was like five or six. First time I ever saw a plane up close.”
Shiro stared at the picture, a nostalgic look in his eye. “I guess we all have a moment like there. Where we fall in love with flying.” He put the frame back down. “Is that your mom and...” He trailed off.
“Mom and Mama,” Adam stared at the folder. He wasn’t ashamed of his familial structure, it was a good way to introduce new people to the topic.
“They look nice. Loving.” Shiro opened his folder, pulling out the papers inside.
“They are...what about your family? Your parents?”
Takashi’s jaw tightened for a brief second. Before he met Adam’s eyes, “a story for another time. Let’s start shall we?”
Adam nodded, his stomach tightening with guilt. “Yeah.”
---
It had been a couple of weeks since that day. They worked together almost daily, excluding the weekend. They were always around each other. Joined at the hip. Adam and Takashi slowly became Adam and Takashi. An inseparable pair.
Adam’s leg bounced up and down. Trying to contain his excitement. Takashi was going to come over again today. Unrequited crush or not, he just liked spending time with him. They clicked really well. And sometimes, just sometimes Adam felt as if Takashi felt the same.
Iverson entered the room, silencing the students with his presence. Adam’s eyes drifted to where Takashi sat. His seat empty.
He didn’t show up the next day.
Or the day after that.
He let his bag drop to the floor, feeling defeated. He flopped on his bed face first, not even bothering to check his phone. Takashi hadn’t responded at all. Hadn’t even read his messages. He tried not to take it personally. But he was still hurt. He thought they were closer. They had an unspeakable, indescribable connection. Something drew them together and yet. He wasn’t allowed to be there for him.
He awoke to his roommate entering the room. “Yo, you missed dinner. Are you feeling okay?”
He pushed himself up, rubbing his eyes. “What time is it?”
“Like seven?” They sat on their own bed, shrugging off their uniform.
Adam shimmied off his bed, rolling his shoulders. “I’ll head down before the kitchen closes.”
His roommate hummed, opening up their laptop as Adam exited the room. Glancing at his phone as he walked. A missed call from Takashi.
He frowned and quickly dialed it back, pushing the anxiety down into his core. The call picked up, “Hey Takashi. Is everything okay?”
A small voice responded. Hesitant. “Hi, are you Shiro’s friend?”
Adam frowned, stepping off to the side to let others pass. “Uhh, I...who are you?”
“Shiro’s sick. Can you help?”
“Wait what?” He ran his free hand through his hair. “Is he okay?”
“Ummm, hot but shivering. Sweaty and he won’t eat.” The small voice listed off the different symptoms. “What?!” He called to someone on his side of the call. “Adam!”
Adam could feel his heart in his throat. Pounding in confusion and concern. He could hear a voice muffle on the other side but he couldn’t make out the words or the owner of it.
The unnamed voice returned, “Can you help? I live at...” He recited the address quickly and Adam pulled a pen out of his pocket. Scribbling it down on his arm.
“Sure...I’ll do what I can.” The call ended and he started at the location. It was outside the Garrison, but not too far of a drive. But a walk? That would take him hours. He chewed on his inner cheek. Turning to walk to the one teacher that might help.
---
“I can’t allow you off campus Adam. You know the rules.”
“Iverson, please! I don’t know who that was but they sounded like a kid. If Takashi is sick he might need some help.” Adam forced himself to keep his posture straight. His eyes ahead, trying to plead his case. “I don’t know his living situation that well, but given he’s allowed to live off campus I can only assume he’s the sole provided to someone.” It was a shot in the dark but it made sense.
Iverson's face revealed no information. “Again. I can’t allow you to leave campus.”
Adam’s face dropped, his shoulders sagging.
Iverson stood, “I’m sorry. I know you two are close.” He moved to stand in front of the younger boy. “And I’m known for not always locking my office door.” He placed his hand on Adam’s shoulder. “The key to my truck is hanging by the door. I park in spot 34.”
Adam sent his teacher a confused look. “What?”
“Takashi Shirogane is a special case. One we teachers are not allowed to discuss. And he trusts you, so if you’re being requested. You should go.”
Adam nodded, swallowing around the lump in his throat. “Thank you.”
Iverson stepped back, moving back toward his desk. “You do know how to drive right?”
Adam moved, grabbing the key that hung by the door. “Sure. It can’t be harder than flying right?”
Driving was harder than flying.
He managed to make it to the address in one piece. Trying to ignore the number of traffic laws he broke. He knocked on the door. It was a smaller house, with a couple of lights on. His palms sweated as he waited. Unsure who was going to open the door.
The door cracked open, stopping on a chain, A younger boy stared up at him through thick raven bangs. “Um....hi?”
The kid didn’t respond, just stared.
Adam shifted under his gaze, “I’m Adam?”
The kid nodded, closing the door briefly. Reopening it fully. “Follow me.” He lead Adam upstairs to a cracked door. He pushed the door open, leaving Adam in the hallway.
He returned a couple of seconds later, waving Adam in.
Adam followed, his eyes immediately falling on a very sick-looking Takashi. “Keith...I told you not to call him.” The other man wheezed out, trying to focus on the smaller boy.
The boy, now known as Keith, crossed his arms. “I’m no doctor.”
“Neither is Adam.” Takashi let his head fall on the pillow, his eyes squeezed shut.
Keith looked at Adam, “he wears glasses. He has to be smart.”
Takashi groaned, “it doesn’t work like that.”
Keith rolled his eyes, “can you help him or not?”
Adam nodded, “yeah.” He moved ahead, sitting on the edge of the bed. Leaning forward to rest his cheek on Takashi’s forehead.
“Adam?! What are you doing-” The other man began to protest, his eyes blown wide.
“Shhhhh. I’m trying to check how hot you are.”
Keith snickered, which resulted in his brother saying his name.
Adam leaned back up, “have you eaten anything?”
Takashi shook his head, “hard to eat.”
“Drank anything?”
He shook his head again.
“Okay,” Adam stood, looking at Keith. “You have any soup?”
“No.”
“Okay,” he looked at his classmate, “mind if I steal your kitchen?”
Takashi didn’t respond, slipping into a shivery slumber.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” He looked at the younger boy. “Can you show me the kitchen?” That’s how Adam found himself. Chopping up slightly old vegetables, adding them to a simmering pot.
Keith sat on the island behind him. Munching on a grilled cheese. “So how old are you Keith?” He slid the carrots into the pot.
“Seven.”
“Oh, that’s a good age.” He moved on to the celery. “Where do you go to school?”
“Down the road. Shiro drops me off on his way to the Garrison.”
“Ah, I see.” More chopping. “What’s your favorite class?”
“Hmm,” Keith put the plate down beside him. “Science.”
“Mine too.” He finished the vegetables, giving the soup a stir. “Where are your parents? Away at work?”
“They’re dead.”
The room fell into silence. The soup bubbling. “Oh...I see.”
“Shiro takes care of me. He’s been taking care of me since he turned eighteen. But they passed when I was four.”
Adam squeezed the spoon he was holding tighter. Everything fell into place in his mind. Why he never stayed past three in the afternoon. Why he never came to campus on the weekend. Why he didn’t live on campus. His reaction when Adam asked about his parents.
“Shiro likes you.”
He turned, “what?”
Keith hopped off the counter, placing his dish in the sink. A small pile of dirty dishes formed. “He talks about you a lot.”
“Oh...we are good friends.” He turned to focus on the soup. Trying to calm his racing heart.
“Adam.”
“Hmm?”
“What’s a boyfriend?”
“Oh...it’s a guy you date. Someone you like and may fall in love with.”
“Oh...well Shiro said he wants to be your boyfriend.”
He dropped the spoon he was holding. “What?!”
Keith looked at him like it was everyday knowledge. “Only if I like you.”
Adam stared at the kid, unsure of what to say.
Keith began to leave the kitchen. “I don’t have any thoughts on you. But I thought he liked shorter guys.” He left the room, the TV turning on in the living room.
Adam placed the spoon in the sink. Finishing up the soup while emptying the dishwasher and starting it up with the new dishes. Cleaning up the messes that Keith had created since Takashi was out of commission.
He dished up a bowl, moving to head up the stairs. Keith curled up on the couch, asleep.
He headed upstairs, knocking on his classmate's door. “Takashi? You awake?” He made a small grunt sound and Adam, entered the room. “I made you some soup.”
“Adam, I am so sorry about this. I was just pushing myself too hard and...sometimes.” He paused, catching his breath.
“Your body will make you take a break.” He set the soup on the bed-side desk. “Come on.” He helped Takashi lean forward, propping the pillows behind him. He grabbed the bowl, lifting the spoon up to the other boy's mouth.
“You are not feeding me.”
“You are not feeding me,” Adam mocked back, “just shush and eat.”
Takashi fought him for a couple of moments before giving in. Letting Adam feed him. “Keith’s asleep downstairs.”
“Yeah...he does that when I don’t make him go to bed.”
Another spoonful. “He told me what happened...about your parents. Shiro, I’m so sorry.”
His face scrunched up, “you called me Shiro.”
Adam ignored the fire under his skin. “Sorry, hearing your brother say it. It just slipped out-”
“You can call me it. I only let people I’m close to call me it.”
“Oh,” another spoonful. “Are we close then?”
Shiro sent him a weak smile, grabbing his wrist weakly. “I like to think we are.”
Adam returned to his dorm around two in the morning. Falling on his bed as soon as he kicked his boots off. He didn’t leave until Shiro had eaten, he put the other dishes away and he carried Keith to bed properly.
Sleep didn’t come easy to him. Every time he tried, all he could think of was what it would feel like to kiss him.
---
The next Monday rolled around Shiro was finally back in class. Looking more alive than he did when Adam saw him last. He came in right in front of Iverson so they didn’t have time to talk. But Shiro sent him a bright smile when he walked into the room.
The class dragged on but as soon as it was dismissed Shiro was in front of Adam’s desk. “I am so sorry again for last week.”
Adam waved his hand in a ‘whatever’ motion, standing while grabbing his bag. “Again, it’s fine. I’m happy you’re feeling better.” He met Shiro’s grey eyes. A hint of pink on his cheeks. Was he flustered?
Shiro bobbed his head a couple of times. Unsure of what to say but he seemed to be reluctant to move. “I should go...I have a lot of work to catch up on.”
Adam nodded, both of them refusing to step away from each other. An invisible energy pulling them together. “Did you want some help?” Adam offered.
“Yeah,” Shiro nodded, a smile forming on his face, “I’d like that.”
They ended up sitting on Adam’s bed, leaning against each other as Adam helped him with the various assignments.
Shiro groaned, resting the back of his head on the concert wall. “This is a lot.”
“Missing of a week of school seems stressful.”
Shiro closed his eyes, his body relaxed. “It was. I couldn’t do anything. I was so worried Keith was going to set the kitchen on fire. But, at least our neighbors could take him to and from school for me.”
They sat in more silence. Adam finally broke it. “Why didn’t you tell me about him?”
Shiro sighed, his eyes still closed. “It’s hard to talk about I guess.”
Adam mimicked his position, closing his eyes as Shiro talked. His voice rumbled from his chest.
“Losing mom and dad...it was hard. I was fifteen. I went to school, Keith went to daycare, and then one distracted driver left us spending a night at an emergency placement home.”
Adam intertwined his fingers with Shiro, giving it a comforting squeeze.
Shiro didn’t pull his hand back, and his grip tightened ever so slightly. “We were moved a lot. I made sure we stayed together no matter what. And as soon as I turned eighteen I got us out of there. I’m just happy the Garrison worked with me. Let us stay in our family home. I didn’t want to bring Keith on campus.”
“He’s important to you,” Adam whispered.
“He is. I would do anything to keep him safe. To make sure he isn’t hurt or left alone.” He released a shaky breath. Leaning to rest his head on Adam’s shoulder.
Adam rested his cheek on Shiro’s head, “like date someone he approves of?”
Shiro nodded.
Adam knew what he had to do. Get Keith to like him.
---
“What are you doing for Winter break Adam?” His friend asked as they sat down for Iverson’s last class of the semester.
“I don’t know. I only live like forty minutes away so it’s not like I have to travel.”
His friend nodded, going on a slight tangent of the layovers they would have to sit through to get home.
He sent Shiro a small wave as he entered the classroom. Shiro smiled at him and sat down. Adam’s phone lighting up a couple of moments afterward.
Good to see you. I wanna talk to you after class.
He reread the message, quickly typing a response as Iverson walked in the door. Spending the entire class wondering what Shiro could want to ask him.
“So what’s up?” Adam made it to Shiro’s desk first this time.
“Adam!” Shiro’s face lit up and he stood, a slight bounce to his action. “How far do you live from here?”
“Like a forty-minute drive...why what’s up?”
“So Keith loves roller-coaster but um...I don’t.”
Adam couldn’t stop a laugh from escaping his chest. “You’re in a fight pilot major and you don’t like roller-coaster?!”
Shiro rolled his eyes, “mock me later. Do you like them?”
“Yeah.”
“Great, I was given some free tickets to ‘Roller-Park’ and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me...and Keith of course. He’ll need someone to ride with him.”
Adam grinned, his heart fluttering in his chest. The perfect opportunity to befriend Keith just fell in his lap. “Yeah. Just let me know when.”
---
“I want to ride that one!” Keith pointed to the 400ft rollercoaster that could be seen from the entrance. He dropped his hand back down on Shiro’s head. Holding on to the tuff of hair with his fingers.
Shiro whistled, “that’s a really tall coaster,” he sent Adam a panicked look.
Adam chuckled, looking up at Keith who was sitting on Shiro’s shoulders. “Let’s start on the smaller ones first okay?”
They spent the entire day riding rides. Shiro waiting by the exit for them. Kneeling down each time to hug Keith as he ran at him. Adam was having fun. Keith was a good kid.
“I want dipping dots,” Keith said, pulling Shiro toward the ice cream stand.
Shiro let the smaller boy drag him along. “What flavor do you like?” He looked at Adam.
“I don’t need anything.”
“Come on, the least I can do is buy you some ice cream.”
“I’m fine Shiro.”
“Shiro?” Keith tugged on his arm.
“Yeah, buddy?”
“Can I have Adam share then?”
Both men broke out in laughter.
---
“Ready to try the big one?” Adam ran a napkin across Keith’s face.
Keith nodded. “It’s going to go fast!”
“90 miles per hour.” Adam stood, extending his hand to the raven hair kid. “Come on, let’s go check your height.”
Keith was surprisingly tall enough for the ride and after a twenty-minute wait they were buckled into the coaster. “You ready?”
Keith nodded, swallowing a bit. “I’m scared.”
Adam frowned, wrapping his arm around the smaller boy. “It’s okay to be scared. Does it help to know that I’m scared too?”
Keith looked at him, “you’re scared?”
Adam laughed, “a bit. But’s going to be fine.” He removed his arm as the coaster began to move. It launched off and after a minute the coaster was stopping. They shared a look before laughing at how messed up their hair was.
They kept laughing until they met up with Shiro. Keith immediately told Shiro about the ride and how brave he was. He whispered something in Shiro’s ear, causing him to look at his brother with a wide expression.
Adam wasn’t sure what he said but he figured it wasn’t his place. They rode a couple more rides, Keith grabbed Adam’s hand a couple of times as they walked.
“I’m going to go get us some food. Come on Keith.” Shiro grabbed his brother's hand.
“I’ll eat whatever you get.” Adam looked around, his eyes falling on something. “I’m going to check something out.” He waited until the two had walked away and made his way over to a game stand. “What do I have to do to get that?” He pointed at the giant blue and black wolf plushy that was hung up.
The employee smiled at him and quickly explained what he needed. It took Adam a couple of tries but he walked away with the stuffed wolf.
Shiro and Keith were sitting down. Chomping on chicken tenders and French fries. Shiro’s eyes widened at the giant stuffed animal. Keith had yet to notice.
“I got you something Keith,” Adam sat the wolf down next to the boy who stared at it with wide eyes.
He looked up at Adam, “for me?”
“Yup.”
Keith grinned at the plushy, hugging it tightly.
“What do we say, Keith?” Shiro said, looking at Adam with an unreadable expression.
Keith pulled back some, “thanks, Adam!” He let go of the plushy and jumped up to hug Adam.
Adam hugged him back, glancing at Shiro who smiled at him.
---
“He is knocked out,” Shiro plopped on the couch next to Adam, resting his arms on the back of the couch.
“I’m happy he had fun.”
“Yeah...me too. He named the wolf Kosmo.”
“That’s a fitting name. Did he ever let go of it?”
Shiro laughed, sliding his arm down so it was wrapped around Adam’s shoulders. “No. He fell asleep holding it. I had to pretend to brush its teeth while he brushed his.”
Adam chuckled, sinking into Shiro more. Trying to keep his heart rate steady. Just two dudes...platonically cuddling. Nothing more, nothing less. “What did Keith whisper to you at the park.” He wasn’t sure why he asked, but something forced the words out.
“He said that he liked you.”
“Oh.” He tapped his fingers against his upper thighs. Trying to keep himself composed. “I like him. He’s a good kid.”
“Yeah,” Shiro adjusted, so he was twisted on the couch facing Adam. “And I like you.”
Adam turned his head so he was facing the other man. Their faces were closer than he expected. “...like a friend?”
“...more than that.” His hand moved up, slowly cupping Adam’s cheek. His thumb slowly rubbed over his cheekbone. “Do you like me?” He leaned closer, their breaths mingling. “More than a friend?”
Adam took a shaky breath. This was it. No matter which way this went, this would change everything. “Yeah.” He whispered.
“...can I?”
Adam licked his own lips nervously, “yeah.”
Shiro tilted his head slightly, pressing their lips together. Pulling back too soon. He leaned back, dropping his hand. “Was that okay?”
“You better kiss me again Takashi or I will never forgive you.”
Shiro laughed and leaned forward again.

Snow White Live Action:
youtube
Here is the trailer. We are going to reserve judgement (at least for the time being, there is bound to be at least one more trailer before March) but do know that we will be making a Snow White Original or Remake poll for it.
As well as with Lilo & Stich and Moana for sure and which ever others make their way back to the big screen. We've seen rumors about Hercules and Bambi at later dates. Plus possibly Frozen, depending on the stage recording...

I do not and can not understand the kind of people who get excited about Disney live action remakes. Especially if the original is a near-perfect movie (Lilo and Stich).

Hey guys Stitch is coming back in live action. :D
Alex: I though Stich went away from Lilo.
Baco: But it looks like it's time for a comeback real style.

Lilo and Stich live action?

Way left field but have y'all heard about all the drama with Lilo and Stich casting? Twitter is saying the actors aren't dark enough, but the actors are the right ethnicity.
I'm all for diversity but dang, Hollywood is so boring. I'm tired of recycled stories. Make some new ones. If Hawaiians (not sure what the correct term is sorry) aren't bothered by the actors being a lighter complexion than what's the big deal? It'll still showcase their culture and values etc.
I'm honestly insulted that Disney would rather remake everything than give us something new. Ariel is still white in most people's minds. Why not make more ethnically diverse characters and stories. Instead of turning everything into live action, create new characters.
Hollywood execs, in general, are lazy and uncreative. They’d rather remake something that was already a success and hope that nostalgia will be enough to fill seats instead of taking a risk on something new.
As far as the colorism issue goes, per usual, it’s a problem and it’s something that’s going to dog that remake for the entirety of its production.

I cannot be the only one terrified at the prospect of a live action Stitch. Like I honestly don't trust Disney

Okay... Nani in 'Lilo & Stich' is one of the characters with some of the most beautiful ethnic features in ALL of Disney.
The assignment was to showcase beautiful wide noses, full lips, curvy bodies, and melanated skin. And as a half-white biracial person myself, I see there is an element of colorism at play by casting a half white actress with eurocentric passing features to play Nani, It reminds me of when they cast half-white actresses to play the African Goddess, Storm, in the X-men films.
It's important to show melanated skin.
It's important to show full lips.
It's important to show wide noses.
It's important to show thick thighs.
It's important to show curves.
And it's important to show all these features on characters in Meaningful stories.
Why downplay that???
On the right is how I envisioned Nani to look in live action

Hi!
how do you feel about the new Lilo and stich live action that’s in production?
I liked the casting of Lilo but Nani …
I also think it’s just gonna look like the live action lion king part 2.
Pls I let this sit in my ask box for so so long and I'm so so sorry—
To be honest I haven't kept up with the live action updates for my (lmao) movie. The animation just has a special place in my heart, and I didn't feel any desire to see it turned into a live action...
Alas, that decision is somehow not up to this blue alien, so here are my ~thoughts~ on the Lilo and Me Live Action :D
I totally agree that the casting of Lilo is great, and Nani definitely could've been better. But, it looks like she was born and raised in Hawaii, so that's v good. David's actor seems like a good choice (Kaipo Dudoit?), but tbh I haven't read the backgrounds of anyone on this film.
Surprised they didn't ask me to play myself in the movie, but it's whatever. Hopefully they don't turn me into a scary blue monster on screen. Because I'm supposed to be cute. Very cute.
And fluffy.
Overall, though, I wish they didn't have to make a live action. The animated movie was adorably cute, and it doesn't need to be recreated.
That being said, if it gets good reviews and I find my curiosity piqued, will I go see it?
Probably—
I wish I had more to say, but that's all I got! Thanks so much for the ask, and so so so sorry for the delay! Happy to always chat though :D
Hope you have a great day!!
......
Feel free to send me asks! :)
#what's the stitch#lilo and stitch#live action#my asks#thanks for the ask!#callmenani#sigh i'm looking forward to more pacific islander representation in films#but really can't they just make a new movie#smh my head#i better be cute and fluffy in the film LOL
