Y’all know when Mulan is sitting in the rain and watches her parents silhouette disappear as the candle is blown out and then her eyes squint in determination and the music that starts to play and you see her go into the family temple and light a match and bow in respect and then sneak into her parents room and switch the scroll for her hair brooch and then the way her reflection is shown as she pulls the sword and cuts her hair?? It’s literally more iconic than any marvel movie

[wyntersknight]

Y’all know that there is heavy symbolism in that scene to show that Mulan is the spirit of the Great Stone Dragon and that’s why Mushu wasn’t able to awaken it?

Mulan sits in the rain underneath the statue of the Great Stone Dragon (who is looking down on her), and suddenly decides on a course of action. She looks up, resolved to go to war in place of her father and runs into the temple where she lights the match and beseeches protection for her family. The stone she bows to and that we see lit up by lightening strike is that of the dragon, whose eyes are looking out after her, lit from underneath by the candles. The scene transitions to the divider in the house that also has an icon of the dragon. where she replaces her hair comb with the summons. Then we see the sword hilt, also the dragon, and as she draws the blade we see her face replace it. She ties up her hair, then as she opens the wardrobe, the handles are also the dragon. After donning the armor, the view shows her facing us, with the hilt of the sword (the face of the dragon) in front of her face, where she then turns the sword to reveal her face, and sheaths it. As she leaves, we flash back to the temple, and the eyes of the dragon flash as her grandmother wakes up.

The Great Stone Dragon resides within her. She is the protector of the family.

After this explanation, the scene where Mushu cannot wake up the stone dragon makes so much more sense. I appreciate the symbolism so much more. I noticed the dragon but didn’t notice she was constantly juxtaposed with the dragon!

Canon accepted.

To an old friend....

I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I just thought I part of me hopes you do.

I hope you’re doing OK. You seem happy on your social media. Part of me knows you might be putting your best foot forward, but I genuinely hope you’re happier than you were. I think about you a lot and I think about when we were friends. I miss those times. I think about the good and I think about the bad. Sometimes I’m not sure if I can take the good along with bad, but I also know that I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you. You meant a lot to me in my life and I can never forget that. 

I’m a mess, I can’t deny that. And I’m still pretty screwed up and have my faults. But so do you. Sometimes those faults would negatively feed into each other. I know myself better now and I hope you do to. I hope one day we can be close again. I don’t want to go back to the friendship we had; I want to build something new, something stronger. You seem happy now.... so I don’t want to ruin it for you. 

I just wanted to let you know I still have love for you and I wish nothing but good things your way.

Fun fact: Ross handing the lamp to Chandler wasn’t scripted. David Schwimmer just randomly handed it to Matthew Perry. Matthew’s reaction is one hundred percent genuine.

That’s even better

“My first thought was ‘Oh no.’ I wasn’t ready for a kid. Her mother and I were fuck-ups and addicts. I’d just finished seven years in jail for robbery. But everything changed on Valentines Day, 1992. That’s when I found out the baby was going to be a girl. Right away I started buying all this girly stuff. I was excited. I became more civil. I was going to raise my daughter to be kind and respectful to everyone. So I became that person. And she became that person too. Every day I picked her up from school after work. We went to theaters, and museums, and Disney World three different times. Every year on my birthday we dressed up and got tea at the Four Seasons. She ended up being the valedictorian of her class. She went to Duke on a full scholarship. Now she’s in law school at NYU. I look at her and I think that she must have done all this by herself. Because I’m kinda ‘street.’ I grew up in the projects. And she’s gone so much farther than I ever could. So I always thought I had nothing to do with it. But I have friends who tell me that I made a big difference. And I did always teach her to work hard and do her best. And she told me recently, that when she had to write an essay for her SAT, she called it: ‘My Father, My Hero.’”
