Ratatouille would have been a better and potentially much more interesting story if Remy had partnered with Collette instead of Linguini. Two underdogs with talent and passion forced to maintain a dangerous ruse. Fiercely independent Collette giving up temporary control of her body to a creature who, despite the insanity of a rat wanting to cook professionally, she can relate to on a personal level and who she does want to teach. The inner conflict of wondering if Remy’s growing talents are eclipsing her own, if the praise their food is earning belongs more to him than to her. Her guilt over feeling resentment and jealousy towards this little guy who wouldn’t have a hope of realizing his talents if not for her trust and protection. Both of them unraveling the mystery of that sweet but bumbling kitchen boy with the obvious crush on Collette being Gusteau’s secret son, and working together to thwart the new evil owner’s plans to stop Linguini from claiming his birthright. The message of the movie not being this weird, almost smug “some people are born with talent, some people aren’t, and that’s how being a ~great artist~ works”, but something more like, “if you have a dream, you deserve to pursue it, and be supported and encouraged in your pursuit of it, even if other people tell you that, because of some intrinsic aspect of yourself or the circumstances you were born in (like being a human woman in the restaurant industry, or being a literal rat), you have no place pursuing this dream. Also, raw talent can only get you so far, and skill and passion existing in the right balance is key.” I’ve been thinking about this for seventeen years. I’m breaking my silence

the more i look at it the more i realize human domestication guide stuff is really just "what if a species of benevolent but *extremely* patronizing aliens doms invaded, and their master plan was (in equal measure) cherishing and infantilizing autistic trans girls with problematic kinks (who love it)"

and wouldn't you know it, turns out i'm in the target demo

might sound weird to say as a person with a couple ocs who have Big Horrible Event(s) in their backstories or as a person who has like 3 ocs total bc he sucks at writing and as a person who hopes their ocs arent too Boring with [the thing im about to mention] but the thing about writing [characters] and [people] is that like.

any little thing a person experiences can take up their whole existence... its actually something "fun" to experience as i meet new ppl and do more things. My friend had something happen that she'll be talking about forever. I had several things happen last year that ill never stop talking about, some of which other ppl think werent that bad actually. In the same way I'll forever remember about the way my sister accidentally insulted me almost 10 years ago, it's really interesting and Fun to find and assign smaller things like that to characters...its really Real. some people's dealbreakers are other people's solvable problems etc etc

the way Vane secures his place as a Favoured Captain by allowing his crew to systematically SA Max is disgusting and insidious & the way Elanor uses Max's SA to basically get Flint a second ship and potentially secures her own role in their pirating business venture is, similarly, really fucking disgusting and insidious

so my general paranoia has always been pretty bad (hi ocd) but I thought it was more manageable the past few years as I've matured and gotten better at catching myself before I spiral, but recently (as in the past three weeks or so) it's been so bad that I do things impulsively as I'm spiralling without even realising it and it's been negatively affecting the way I perceive how friends think of me which I do NOT want to start happening again because that sucked. Idk why it's happening but I'd be grateful for any advice idrk what else to say about it.

alan wake is really such a hyperbolized example of a statement i needed to hear so long ago - art is not about coming up with completely new, but about reshaping/reinterpreting existing inspirations and experiences. i was so terrified of being exposed as a plagiarist for naming a character after another or mixing certain traits only i know i took from those existing characters. and now i look at the guy who's entire career was built on remaking his previous ideas and mistaking literal paranatural stalking for inspiration. and now i look at the game studios who has been torturing the iterations of the same detective guy over and over and over again till he stopped even resembling his original self and everyone loves it. and i cannot stress enough how much relief this brings me. i feel like i'm finally allowed to create without forgetting the exact sources of my ideas

Naw i really dont give a shit about ppl fucking while the kids are home most ppl know how to lock a door but i just had to read a post where the person said fucking in bed next to ur sleeping kid is ok. And its ok cus its only babies and toddlers that do that. So that makes it ok right💀

"Happy birthday Shuichi! I know sometimes the gifts I give you may be a little corny but I still want to give you this." Kaede smiled as she gave him a box of hand made cupcakes atop a wrapped present. Inside was a journal but inside on the lining was of a music sheet pressed down into it both the back and front. Even the bookmark was handmade in a similar fashion and laminated too. "I...I actually made a song for you if you're wondering about the sheets. I have another copy that I can play for you sometime! But I hope that whenever you have to write or make notes you can look at them and remember the song."

{ Shuichi Birthday!! 🎉}

"Thank you, Kaede! And shush, that's not true at all: your gifts are always wonderful." He reassures her with a smile, before he eagerly accepts the box of cupcakes and wrapped gift. "Ohhh...! These cupcakes look delicious, I can't wait to try them! I'd love to enjoy them with you, too..."

Then he will put the box of cupcakes on the table, so that he can then unwrap the present. It being a journal was already nice, and he loves the handmade bookmark... "Such a pretty bookmark... oh I will definitely be using this." But then he notices the music sheets pressed down into the linings...a quiet gasp of awe leaving him as he looks at the music sheets..."Oh....!! You...made this song, Kaede? Th-That's amazing!! So that's what you've been working on..."

Kaede has been seemingly working on something very hard for a while. He didn't know what, but now he realized she composed her own song. Just for him... "Yes... I would love to hear you play it. But ahh... Kaede..." He carefully places the journal down on the table... so that he can pull her into a tight embrace.

"...Of course I will.... Whenever I do any of that, I will think of the beautiful song you've composed for me. I just know it will be a beautiful one, when I can hear it. Kaede, thank you so much. I love you..." He gives her a long, loving kiss.. "You're the best girlfriend a guy could ever ask for. Thank you, for such wonderful gifts...!"
