"Disney's princess needs to have more diverse personalities!" Yes true, sure, but also

Disney's first three Princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora) are all graceful, sweet, like singing songs about dreams and wishes, and do not actively fight: "omg they're such anti-feminist caricatures!!!"

Disney's next princesses have more established emotions and personalities, alongside the establishment of the "I Want" song as applied to motives outside of love (exploration, adventure, making their family proud): "OMG Ariel traded her voice for a man, how stupid!" "Belle's so stuck-up!" "Jasmine's just a spoiled brat!"

Tiana's a dedicated hard worker, loves her family a lot, and wants her loved ones to be very happy even at her own expense and gets... totally ignored in this conversation, gee I wonder why

Rapunzel, Anna, and now Asha are a little bit awkward, silly, but exuberant and get written off as "stupid adorkable" despite the other tenets of their personalities setting them apart, like Rapunzel's creativity, Anna's dedication to her family, and how Asha strives to help those around her

Moana gets called a disobedient brat for seeing beyond her father's narrow-mindedness

Disney Princesses have many wonderfully different personalities. It's just that people are dedicated to misinterpreting them, and that's why I never take the "Disney Princesses need more diverse personalities!" comment at face value.

shakespeare and swooning

alhaitham x g/n reader

synopsis; you read one shakespeare play and now you want to impress your "buddy" alhaitham with your newfound knowledge !! what could go wrong?

fluff, g/n reader, TOTAL CRACKFIC, OOC alhaitham, SWEARING, kind of a modern au ???? i mention "ringing tighnari" but that could just be imagined as using the akasha terminal !!!! didnt write this with a modern au in mind

warning ‼️ PLEASE dont expect this to be accurate, if youre a big classic literature fan then dont attack me for not being a NERD ☹️ just imagine a poser using their fancy words (because they think its cool)

you know how libraries are supposed to be a place of study and tranquility? no the fuck you don't, or at least you don't care, because running through the house of daena with shakespeares, "romeo and juliet," in your hands is NOT very tranquil.

multiple poor akademiya students look at you, PISSED OFF because your shoes are going clu-clonk on the marble floors, which wouldn't be an issue if you weren't scurrying through the library.

is that kaveh ?? he's giving you the same look he gives alhaitham every day ..

... but this is IMPORTANT !! you're on a MISSION right now !! you just finished reading the first act of "romeo and juliet," and you're convinced your brain has expanded tenfold in size.

you're now rushing to your good pal haitham to share your knowledge! how kind and gracious!

you're stopped before his house, you've known him for long enough and gotten close enough for him to let you come in whenever. you know kaveh isn't home, and haitham would never purposefully work overtime, so you're certain you can get his attention and show off in peace.

why are you so adamant about showing off to alhaitham? is it REALLY showing off, or are you trying to, heehee, impress him?? its too late to be flustered at this thought because you already unlocked the door with the spare key kaveh leaves behind one of haithams ugly ass decorative plants and you've taken off your shoes and oh god hes right there and the sunlight from the door is lighting up his face in that way that only happens to him and hes looking at you with a suprised, slightly annoyed, but incredibly fond look and oh no what was your plan again?

"greetings, alhaitham! ☝️🤓" you say, finding a surge of confidence remembering the story you read.

"... hey. what are you doing here?" his response is quick but before you respond he continues, "did you just say greetings?"

"indubidibdibdly! hath you be surprised?" you pretentious hipster. you think youre SO cool, but unfortunately your little crush doesn't seem very impressed either.

"okay, what are you doing? you're being weird." he's not even looking at you, and he's back in his chair before you can rush over and sit on the couch. "is something wrong? should i get tighnari to give you a checkup?"

you'd be touched by the care of the suggestion if he wasn't so cheeky in his tone.

"wha, what, no?! no what the hell- stop ringing tighnari."

"are thou o'er wrought with admiration?" you grin, somehow still under the impression that you sound cool.

he gives an eyebrow raise to that. not bothering to mark his place in his book, he stands up.

"i lie testy in why you act so unpregnant, my dear."

"what"

HUH ? what did bro just say ? testy ???? unpregnant ?? MY DEAR ??? backtrack again, UN-WHAT ??

"be still my beating heart, thou hast taken mine with absolute cunning." is he making fun of you i genuinely can't tell ... its like hes speaking in moon runes right now.

"haitham, heheh, WHAT are you DOING ??" you can't help but laugh at his funny little words, magic man. even if you're clueless to what he just said to you.

"whatever doth thou mean?" he's totally making fun of you !! after ALL your effort to impress him too?

"well, usually i do all the ranting and you sit pretty and listen, so it's weird that you're talking so much, especially like THAT?" fym sit pretty ....

"when words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain." that sounds familiar, but you can't think about it longer before he continues, "shall i compare thee to a summers day?"

"ALRIGHT, i recognize that one, dummy." you laugh, "were you really not impressed by me?" you whisper, the rush of embarrassment you shouldve felt in that library is finally catching up with you.

he stares at you for a second. you just wish you could find out what hes thinking up there, if you could even understand it.

and then he lets you into his mind, with a simple "i love you." as if alhaitham, renowned scribe of the akademiya, top student, couldn't find the words to describe how he felt for you.

or maybe that was what he felt for you. he loved you.

"... you called me unpregnant."

a/n; i read romeo and juliet like... 3 years ago.... so.. uam... 😇😇 totally accurate! hope this crackfic style of writing isnt too niche so this doesnt flop because EMBARRASSING....... do people even like al haitham anymore like guys lets go back to the good old days before the FRENCH came in..... (this is just me projecting cause i havent played genshin in a while and i still lovelove sumeru)

The amount of foolishness I have seen on social media relating to Jamie Lloyd's Romeo and Juliet and then Rapunzel is so annoying/funny weird that people making fun of older people believing everything they see on Facebook and WhatsApp group chats need to shut up.

They believe everything they see on tiktok and twitter getting their info from people who don't read and/or spread misinformation intentionally.

White People getting upset over the casting of Avantika Vandanapu as Rapunzel in the Tangled live action. But wait a Tangled live action was never announced. Meaning white people and others were getting mad that a Avantika Vandanapu fanpage I think made a fancast video and photo edits of her as Rapunzel

Now with Romeo and Juliet so many people think that it's a movie, and a remake and are talking about Hollywood. When it's actually a stage play happening in London West End and is set to go to Broadway too I think.

Even the ones that do know it's a play are still doing the most, they don't care about theatre because they are unaware that colourblind casting and even genderbent casting in Shakespeare plays happens all the time look at the posters for upcoming productions at the globe theatre

Twelfth Night in central park starring Anne Hathaway and Audra McDonald

The only reason they are paying attention is because of the stunt casting of Tom Holland and the only media they consume is superhero movies. People from different countries saying they won't watch, you don't live in England and you're not rich you ain't flying here to watch a play. You do not even watch plays.

So much racist stupidity over the past few days I had to rant

[aleafinacup]

Spending legit every day debating if I should start posting my cassunzel fic now because I have 11 chapters finished so if I upload weekly I’d have plenty of time to stay ahead but ugh god i seriously don’t trust myself to have the remaining chapters ready because I procrastinate so much T-T this is without even mentioning that I can’t decide which day of the week to even start uploading on

At the very least can the five-however-many active cassunzel fans like?? Cast a vote or something for what day I should post on I legit just can’t make my own decisions

last words of a shooting star

[rainmacaroni]

In my rewatch of Spirited Away , this ethereal scene ,

made me think of this breathtaking concept art for the Tangled movie ,

[withered--s0uls]

I need more content of Varian being a farm boy. By that I don't only mean wholesome content of him on his dads farm, no, I also mean that farm kids are a bit stronger usually. Not to mention all the heavy machinery he builds and moves around???

Let Varian be able to scoop Hugo up and throw him over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes. I feel like he would be the physically stronger one out of the two. (Its okay Hugo put all his points in Dexterity instead he's very sneaky lol)

(Reminder to myself to draw Varian dragging Hugo and Yong along with ease whilst following Nuru)

Going through old posts and finding this gif reminded me of just how good the animation in the Tangled cartoon was.

[walrus150915]

Made this image a few months ago and I feel like this is still very accurate to how I feel about "Beta Ambrosius was so much better!! We were robbed" take😬

(I'm speaking about the design/LOOKS specifically, not the character - campy Ambrosius from the novel is one of my favorite things abt the novel itself)

I See the Light (Mike’s Version)

[sorrygotthesesacks]

There’s just something about Silver with his hair in a ponytail…

[twidiarie]

my head hurts from the burden of my miles and miles of locks that hang on

by millions of threads weaved into my skull

a matted and tangled mess

I open the window of my towel, miles and miles above the ground

the grass, the dirt, the comfort of cool breezes and warm rays of sunshine

nature

freedom

the tower that mother built. strong walls, impervious to the elements, I tell myself.

in secretion, they can not find me,

the monsters outside

But sometimes I notice the cracks and the leaks

the harsh biting winds that freeze my veins and the beating sun that melts my insides, nature

freedom

and sometimes I notice that

the monsters are inside, too

mother isn't here. not right now anyway

mother pops in and out whenever she wishes

to scold me for entertaining thoughts of impulse, to fling myself into danger

she coaxes me back into safety

into the dark corners of these four walls

I stare back, away from the world into the world I've created

my bubble of unfulfilled dreams and fantasies

where day and night blend into each other seamlessly, with no perceivable dichotomy

paint splattering my walls that depict the emotions and the feelings and the universe and everything that I have ever known expressed through the hues I understand

and the splotches of ink that cement my existence, immortalize my mind, stain my parchment

lights illuminate the stage of where I prance and I sing and I perform, draped in the world's finest silks woven out of starlight

for imaginary spectators and crowds

all wearing my face

in these moments,

I am an artist! I am a thinker! I am an engineer! I am a maker! I am whatever I want to be! I am so, so human!

worlds within worlds,

a reflection of the inside of my burdened, heavy head

it would be so simple,

to cut my tresses.

the knife is somewhere, in the piles of my creations

to work through the mats, to braid the mangled mess into a rope

the rope I can toss out the window into the world

but there's so much to do, isn't there?

I should wait. I should bide my time

the prince, he's coming

my savior, my love, the one with the true rope.

hope.

surely, he'll be here, someday

when the prince comes, I'll be out into the world with him, and all my desires trapped into bubbles will go pop pop and explode like fireworks

and everything will fall into place

just like magic

just like those fairytales

And like that, happily ever after.

right?
