Just some musings

A personal blog with a bit of fandom thrown in. Here you will find a lot of Harry Potter, a fair bit of superheros (DC and Marvel) a bit of Star Wars, a smattering of Grey's Anatomy as well as everything else that catches my eye!

when i was in middle school, i got bullied for being a black fall out boy fan.

literally almost every day of my life these idiots would trash my interests and my personality because of my race.

all because “emo music is white culture”.

if you’re a person of color who’s bullied for their “white” interests, i raise my glass to you and wish you have an amazing day. it will get better, you rule.

[alphadog-deactivated20180810]

if you’re white, you can and are encouraged to reblog this. thank you for being kind and wonderful to kids of color.

So glad that Zac Efron has returned into the arms of musicals. This is what life has needed.

[deactivated-0030493]

Everyone in The Greatest Showman tag is talking about this being the first time Zefron has sung on his own in a musical (since he didn’t in HSM), I think y’all are forgetting about an amazing thing call Hairspray!

I never realised how much my life a duet between Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman.

“Shittier woman versions”

5 out of 8 of these women have been involved with Academy Award Winning movies.

4 out of 8 have been nominated for an Academy Award 2 or more times each.

3 out of 8 have actually won Academy Awards, some more than once.

Between them there’s 4 Academy Wins and 13 Academy Award nominations.

If we extend beyond the Academy Awards, these women have in total more than 1200 nominations for Awards and almost 500 wins under their belt…

Now do the search for the Ocean’s Eleven cast… let me tell you… 11 of them put together don’t even reach half of the accomplishments of only these 8 women. Heck, you can just count Rihanna and Cate… 11 guys still don’t reach their accomplishments. Even better, If you put together all their nominations, they don’t even reach the number of Wins of these women (only if you add Julia Roberts, basically the only woman in the movie,  to the list of Oceans Eleven can they reach the WINS of the women of Ocean’s Eight with their NOMINATIONS).

Shittier woman versions… LOL

[bae-in-maine]

The men’s tears are so beautiful. Women just do it better.

Also important to note is that all of these women’s nominations and wins is despite the fact that Hollywood is stacked against them. Yeah. Keep crying, men. Your tears are watering my crops.

[thatmitchsentho]

This Matt Kid dude is a fucking moron.

Ocean’s Eight is not a remake of a classic, it’s an in-universe spinoff of a completed trilogy series.

HOWEVER.

The “Classic” 2001 Ocean’s Eleven to which he refers is LITERALLY A REMAKE OF A 1960 MOVIE starring five of the Rat Pack.

So untangle your dick, my dude. Your precious classic is and unoriginal copy. At least Ocean’s Eight is new material.

“Snape was a bad person despite his compelling storyline,” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“She’s right,” they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 6th row stands: Lily Evans herself.

[narkik]

i can’t believe they really did that scene from pride & prejudice (2005) except in space and replaced the rain with fire

[alyruko]

so you know how the ‘a certain point of view’ novel posits that yoda wanted to train leia instead of luke… that could have been an interesting movie too

(patrons have early access to comics)

[lilireinhart]

So.

I’ve seen this picture all over my Instagram for the past two weeks. With captions like “Lili vs Model” “who wore it better?” “Which one is hotter?” It’s been pretty hard to avoid. And I think it’s time I finally said something about it.

It’s disappointing.

This photo is being posted by fan accounts. The same fan accounts who love to talk about the amazing female friendships on the show, girl power, Veronica’s inspiring feminism, body positivity, etc.

And that is the most hypocritical shit I’ve ever seen.

This is a poll. A competition. A comparison of two bodies. It’s a feeding ground for comments of judgement and negativity.— “Betty is fat” “that’s not flattering” “the model looks way better.”

It is a perfect way to fuel this delusional idea that it’s still okay to put women on a pedestal and compare them.

I’ve asked myself so many times… how do we actually learn to love our bodies? How do we as a society, openly and privately, accept that all bodies are truly beautiful and there shouldn’t be a specific body type that is considered “the best” or the most beautiful? It’s so easy to say “embrace your curves” “everyone is beautiful!”— but to actually put that into practice is the hard part. It’s easy to convince others that we think this way, but it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t actually believe that.

I do not have that model’s body. I’m fully aware of this. I don’t have a thigh gap.. a 24 inch waist.. toned arms or abs. I am not her. And how dare anyone assume that I should look like her.

And the people who are commenting on this photo and weighing in on this poll… are the ones who are comparing themselves to the model as well. It’s so easy to point out someone else’s “flaws”, isn’t it? Because it makes us feel better about ourselves and about our own insecurities.

It’s upsetting to see all these young women who proclaim to be feminists participate in something that represents the exact opposite. To them I say: You are the problem, don’t you get it? You are promoting the idea that this model is what all women should look like and that it’s not okay to look like anything else. This is why we have eating disorders. This is why young teens are suicidal about their body image. This is why people have body dysmorphic disorder. This is why there aren’t nearly enough plus size models in the industry.

I hope that this makes you reconsider the next time you feel the need to comment on another woman’s weight or figure.

Thank God for Lili Reinhart. 

[harold-shes-lesbian]

Matthew 18:9

[livebloggingmydescentintomadness]

“And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.”

[beachfox-deactivated20181218]

“Jesus, how can I avoid sin when all these hussies keep revealing the fact that they have bodies?!”

“Hmmm, tough call bro. Have you tried gouging out your eyes so you don’t have to see all those bodies anymore?”

“wut”

“What?”

“Shouldn’t you tell them to… stop dressing like that or something?”

“Don’t see why. It’s not their fault that the fact that they have bodies makes you a fucking sinful horndog. Gotta fix that problem yourself, buddy. Go on, blind yourself.”

“Uh….”

“Or learn to keep it in your g’damn pants no matter what they’re wearing.”

I BURST OUT FUCKING LAUGHING OMG

[pastel-plague-doctor]

people say “if you don’t lower your standards, you’re gonna end up spending your whole life alone!” like being a healthy, happy, financially independent single adult is actually worse than being stuck in an abusive and/or emotionally unfulfilling relationship with someone who isn’t willing/able to meet your needs. like no offense, but I think I’m gonna choose to be happy rather than throwing myself into a relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship.
