the complaints about the diversity in bridgerton astound me. “simon was described with piercing blue eyes” “i love black people, but segregation wasnt lifted in england at this time, they would all still be slaves” “wouldnt mind the diversity, but its not historically accurate.” 

honey. you are saying these complaints as these character waltz to instrumental Bad Guy by billie eilish in dresses and suits that are colors that didnt even exist yet adorned with plastic sequins and glitter. historical accuracy was not their goal. just say youre racist and go.

if i got to ask a genie for a wish i wouldn’t just ask for money i would specifically ask for all of jeff bezos’ money and then use all his money to do all the things people keep saying jeff bezos could do with his money

[hyperionangel]

pros of this plan:

the genie won’t be conjuring up large sums of money for me, thus inflating the economy by flooding it and lowering the value of the dollar

i could make it part of the deal that the money is transferred to me legally, so it doesn’t just look like i suspiciously came into a lot of money

i looked up the amount it’s $135 billion like yeah that would look suspicious if i just took that money from jeff bezos

contrary to popular opinion i would leave jeff bezos with enough money to support himself and his family, perhaps even thrive, such as $100 000 a year. that way capitalists won’t make him into a martyr and he has nothing to complain about

i distribute a lot of the wealth instinctively to charities that make a difference globally, because Fuck national borders

i leave $100 tips at every restaurant i go to

i will not spend the money on ridiculous things like extra houses or yachts or sports cars because i am a reasonable human being who understands that literally none of that matters

i’ll use my second genie wish to make sure amazon hires a new ceo that is charitable and generous and also believes in human rights

and then i’ll use my third wish to free the genie. i’ve seen aladdin duh

cons of this plan:

i do not know any genies

why not to waste your money on Mulan (2020)

send message to Disney to stop with this lazy remake bullshit already and create actual new content

no Mushu

no songs

bisexual icon Li Shang replaced with bland inferior love interest

lead actress Liu Yifei trashed Hong Kong protesters, specifically supported HK’s brutal police

Hong Kong activists are asking international supporters to boycott it

perfect live action Mulan starring Vicki Zhao Wei made in 2009 already exists

here in Canada they’re asking for thirty five fucking dollars PLUS a Disney+ subscription

thirty five fucking dollars just to rent it

[dark-eye-dreamers]

Okay so normally I don’t reblog this boycott stuff, but I learnt about this this morning. I saw a Facebook comment section full of people from Hong Kong begging people to boycott the movie. So I did some digging and the main actress activity advocates police brutality. Pretty damn wild.

Mulan: Rise of a Warrior (2009)

It was genius. Utterly fantastic. GENIUS.

No songs and no bisexual™ love interest (well as far as I could see) and no mushu (as much as I love mushu, this is a good thing).

And don’t worry my gays, there’s loads of homoerotic subtext. Merlin type homoerotic subtext to the point that its literally just TEXT.

I LOVE how Mulan was POTRAYED. She had the snark and spunk, plus her free spirit and attitude. It WAS AMAZING

GO WATCH IT INSTEAD OF 2020 MULAN

Plus you can watch it for free online

If I was Elizabeth Bennet my entire family abandoning me at the dinner table when Mr. Collins requested a private audience would have been my villain origin story.

Starfleet @ Leonard McCoy: Could you please just stop violating the Prime Directive for humanitarian reasons, just for a second

Leonard McCoy:

[thetimetostrikeislater]

[nuclear-wessels]

Leonard Horatio McCoy is a doctor first, a good southern boy who respects women and loves his momma second, and a starfleet officer third. If he sees meemaw in the hospital on dialysis, then by god, he’s going to grow her a new kidney.

[yel-halansu]

This is probably my favourite McCoy moment ever :’)

[hermiione]

I’m going to keep going until I succeed — or die. Don’t think I don’t know how this might end. I’ve known it for years.

Are you coming down with a cold?

[rainbow-femme]

So you’re a young lady living in Mulan’s village. Like the other girls you get all dolled up and go to the matchmaker to find a husband.

The local tomboy goes first so you’re chilling outside, psyching yourself up, chatting up the gals, when you hear a crash from inside followed by screaming.

Out runs the matchmaker, she’s covered in ink and on fire. Mulan throws an entire kettle of steaming tea in her face. The matchmaker yells at her that she will never be married or bring her family honor. It’s been at most five minutes.

What do you do? Do you just, like, go home? Explain to your family you didn’t get a husband cause your neighbor set the matchmaker on fire? Do you go inside and try your luck at getting a husband on the 50-50 shot she gives all the well behaved girls good husbands out of spite while risking her foul mood giving everyone shitty matches?

Idk I just wanna know how that afternoon went for everyone else there.

the glow after crying is such #a look

[cantfightfatetoo]

I’m a simple girl, is it too much to ask for a broody handsome suitor to stroll across a field, in the morning fog at dawn, to tell me that I’ve bewitched them body and soul, and that they love me and never wish to be parted from me from that day on.
