With the sting of the whip on my shoulder, with the salt of my sweat on my brow.. Elohim, God on High, can You hear Your people cry? Help us now, this dark hour… Deliver us! Hear our call, deliver us! Lord of All, remember us, here in this burning sand! Deliver us! There’s a land You promised us! 

Deliver us to the Promised Land!

Hercules is the most visually creative of the Disney Reneissance films. If not any Disney film ever.

The three Fates sharing an eye.

Hades’ flaming hair. 

The various designs of the mythological monsters and titans.

The diverse faces and body types of all the minor characters.

It’s a very visually engaging movie.

How could I forget the Underworld

And the opening sequence

Y’all need to get off Walter Disney’s cock

[charlesoberonn]

Jeez, I just said the movie looks nice. No need to get antsy.

[fantastique-bastard]

Also like, pretty sure WD didn’t make that movie. It was the effort of various animators who sometimes get overlooked because we don’t see them WORKING on it for so many days, just the two hour long result.

[charlesoberonn]

Pretty sure that Walt Disney didn’t work on Hercules since it came out decades after he died.

[brennen-french-arts]

Fun fact! The reason Hercules has such a unique style is because Musker and Clements brought illustrater Gerald Scarfe (famous for his work on Pink Floyd’s The Wall) to be the conceptual character artist. His original character designs are wild

[drtanner]

Hey kids, did you know that you can be critical of a company and acknowledge how shitty it is in its business practices, and appreciate that it produces a lot of good art, much of which is created by artists and animators who have nothing whatsoever to do with the aforementioned shitty business practices?

Fucking wild that you can do that.

Isn’t it wonderful how you’re always finding new songs and new books and new shows and new hobbies and new places and new people to fall in love with?  There will always be things to love, as long as you stick around to find them.

[superelphie]

the fact that they can laugh together, at their own inside joke no less, when as far as they know it’s the last time they’ll ever see each other — how strong must their bond be, that for that one moment, the joy of having known each other outweighed the sorrow of parting

“Since Hamilton’s debut, Miranda has become a household name and rock star to the NPR set. He used this reserve of cultural capital to advocate for the passing of PROMESA [Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act], which along with forming La Junta gutted social services in Puerto Rico, eliminated pensions for public-sector employees, and closed over 500 schools. The bill’s effect on the whole range of public programs and institutions in Puerto Rico rivals the violence of austerity measures imposed by the E.U. on the Greek people.”

— Disaster Act: Puerto Rico’s uprising and the instrumentalization of Lin-Manuel Miranda

[bio-fluorescence]

people should really read the whole article both for context of the economic crises in Puerto Rico but also about what the above quote really means. LMM didnt just support a shitty bill, he comes from an enormously influential family in NY, PR, and WDC politics that at every turn has sought to privatize and exploit Puerto Rican industry, infrastructure, and people. He is literally being instrumentalized here as the cultural arm of his father’s many foundations and political goals. fuck this man for so many reasons.

[vicholas]

“In 2017, Lin-Manuel announced his intention to perform a limited run of Hamilton at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, under the pretext of raising funds for the performing arts through the creation of the Flamboyan Arts Fund with his father’s Flamboyan Foundation. This proposal was met by fierce protests, as students rebuked him for his advocacy of the PROMESA bill. Students would later stage a second and third protest in the beginning of 2019, this time joined by faculty, to protest the musical that celebrates the same settler-colonial power with its neoliberal boot at the neck of Puerto Rico. In response, the performance was moved to the Centro de Bellas Artes, a change of venue facilitated by Governor Rosselló himself.

This all occurred amid the University of Puerto Rico’s desperate attempts to fend off privatization efforts, in part by doubling tuition costs. Primary schools were also facing similar economic restructuring under Secretary of Education Julia Keleher, who was brought to Puerto Rico to consolidate public primary schools while implementing a charter school system. Luis Miranda’s Flamboyan Foundation is listed as a client and collaborative partner of Keleher’s firm, Keleher and Associates. She is currently under federal investigation for conspiracy to commit fraud, theft, electronic fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to money launder during her time in Puerto Rico in this role. While Lin-Manuel proposed a palliative performance of mainland U.S. history played by people of color, his father was in the wings collaborating with a corrupt conspirator seeking personal gain from Puerto Rico’s economic crisis. ”

[log4]

Now is as good a time as any to remind you that you shouldn’t buy Hamilton when Lin-Manuel Miranda tries to sell it to you as a movie next year. It’s not just something that’s “cringe” this man and his family have had a real and devastating impact and the last thing you should be doing is giving them more money.

genuinely don't think i'm built for college and/or 40+ years of work. all i want to do is connect with other people and make friends and fall in love and travel and read books and do everything i want to do! and i don't want to work until i'm too old or tired to do any of those things! i just think it's evil that we have to spend our lives working even if we have no passion or drive for it

When I say I like a musical, I either mean that: 

I have listened to it too many times to count and memorized all the lyrics

or,

I listened to like two songs and they were decent so yeah, I’ll put it on my list.
