Actual roman epitaph for a dog
a smaller part of my thoughts on the mw3 campaign that i think is important enough to need its own post:
(there are spoilers below)
Man, I still cannot get over how matureĀ Frozen 2 was. Like, sure, itās still ostensibly a family film that all ages can enjoy, but I think this is the first time Iāve seen a Disney animated movie that was willing to target the adults in its audienceĀ more than the kids. The songs are far less traditional catchy Disney sing-along fare, more classic musical theater storytelling character pieces with weird and experimental tonal choices. It abandons the use of fairy tale language and symbols that the first movie used (no mention of true loveās kiss, royal balls, princess-y stuff) in favor of something far more akin to a mythology-inspired RPG adventure. A massive chunk of the storytelling and themes is communicated in subtext and metaphor, especially with Elsaās big song in the third act. And so much of the drama revolves around feelings that are⦠far more difficult, complex, and adult-oriented than kidsā movies usually tackle. Self-actualization by way of coming to terms with your past trauma, siblings who love each other yet find their lives drawn in different directions, struggling to do the right thing when you donāt even know what the right thing is anymore, heck, even Olafās comic existential crisis; these arenāt the kinds of emotional struggles kids can relate to as easily as teenagers and grown-ups can.
And thatās entirely intentional. Because in case Olafās blatant fourth-wall break in his and Annaās opening song didnāt tip you off (āAnd youāve gotten older too,ā he says, speaking directly to the audience), Frozen 2 isnāt really for the kids of today that saw the first film after the fact. Itās for the kids of six years ago who first fell in love Anna and Elsa. Or, more accurately, itās for the teenagers and young adults those kids grew up into. It takes us back to the site of one of our favorite childhood memories and dares to let those memories, ironically, unfreeze. Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and all the rest have grown up right along with us, and just as our worries and concerns have changed from when we first saw Frozen as kids, their struggles have grown in scope and complexity as well. If the first Frozen was about as perfect a fairy tale for kids as you could get, then Frozen 2 is about exploring what happens after the fairy tale is over and the lessons you learned from it are no longer enough to contend with an increasingly complicated world. So itās able to be bolder, and less constrained, and go in more sprawling, yet also more intimate directions, and the songs get to do cooler musical things that arenāt as immediately hummable but are so freaking emotionally powerful, and the emotional journeys everyone goes through are able to speak to the grown-ups weāre slowly becoming instead of just the kids we once were, and cripes, can you imagine anything like āShow Yourselfā in the first movie? Thereās no way! That song is just too, well, adult in its vision of self-acceptance and discovering meaning to work in a fairy tale context. That song could only make sense once the fairy tale started to grow up.
I could honestly go on and on about how much I flipping love this, but Iāve rambled on long enough. TLDR, Frozen 2 matures the themes of the first movie in truly fascinating ways, and it makes for the first Disney Princess movie Iāve seen that might be better at speaking to adults than kids. Feel free to add any of your own insights to this post; Iād love to know what parts of Frozen 2 really touched you in this way!

My contribution to this meme
Because Iām standing firm with this I decided to update it to be a little more specific since some people arenāt getting the hint.
Donāt like, donāt read.
āYou guys are just using the idea of it being ācringyā to justify the bullying and harassment of people who did nothing wrong except make something you personally didnāt likeā

i love this, video
*music intro plays, beat of silence* Audience Member: WHO IS IT??? *people laugh* Britney: Itās Britney bitch.
WHO IS IIIIIIT
I never really did this before, just because I never felt comfortable about the wholeĀ ācall outā culture and because I feel like life is too short for internet drama.Ā
But the racist encounter I had withĀ @otter-the-author just struck home to me, her colorism view, her attitude of talking over oppressed groups and her inability to try to listen and understand where others are coming from is deeply concerning and I just feel like this is something people needs to know when they ask for commission or pledge to her Patreon.
Also she herself asked on twitter toĀ āplease let this blow up in the batfamily fandomā so why not grant her wish?
To give you a context for this, this person has a Patreon (that I used to be a part of) where you can get different awards depending on the price you pay monthly, I paid the highest tier (the 10$ one) so I get to ask her monthly for a sketch. So after I pledged the money I reached out for her about what I want the sketch to be (I wanted it to be Damain and maybe Talia if possible) which she agreed on, later I asked if I could have a comic strip which told me she doesnāt do for patreons but only commissions, as a patreon I was only paying for a simple drawing, so I said okay Iām willing to pay for aĀ commission which she told me would be too expensive and then she said I should just suggest her ideas for comics strips since sheās starting to run out of ideas anyways and she would do them for free because sheās running out of ideas. So we agreed on it and everything was fine.
Until I asked her if she could do me a favor and color both Damian and Talia with darker skin. And the racist/colorist bomb went off.

The Whitewashing of Damian Wayne
So Iām pretty sure I should start boycotting DC or something.
I just saw the art and description for āSuper Sons: The Polarshield Projectā andā¦What. The. Hell. Did. You. Do. To. Damian. Wayne.
Damian Wayne is of Arabic and Chinese descent.
He has black hair, an olive skinned complexion, and Damian is a traditional Arabic name.
In fact, there was a recent storyline where he was fighting to save a Lebanese restaurant from closing down because it reminded him of his home.
And in the upcoming series, theyāve released a picture of him and some information:
Theyāve given him brown hair, super pale skin, and heās going by 'Ianā which is an extremely American-UK name and the Scottish equivalent of John (which is especially weird because Damian hates nicknames).
Keep in mind that Damian is a fan favorite, and one of DCās most prominent non-white characters. He speaks Arabic, and it probably is his native language.
And theyāre freaking whitewashing him. NOT ONLY are they changing his appearance to make him look like a white boy, but theyāre also changing his name to one of Western origin and essentially stripping him of his cultural identity and I justā¦
I canāt stand this.
I wonāt stand for this.
I absolutely cannot condone one of, if not the, most blatant, egregious form of whitewashing Iāve seen in comics-or at least pertaining to Damian Wayne.
(And I really could care less about all those racist 'fansā who claim that Damian is as white as his father-he is a person of color. Get over yourselves.)
THIS is Damian Wayne:
Not THIS:
I let a ton of terrible things DC did to characters fly,
But THIS?!?!?
I draw the line at whitewashing a prominent person of color and erasing his cultural identity.
(And further-PLEASE stop fancasting him as white. Itās just horrible. Iām going to even take this a step further-donāt fancast Dick Grayson as completely white-heās Romani. Get it right. No one fancasts Cassandra Cain as white, so donāt do it to them.)
I hope that if enough people take notice of this, DC will do something about it.
Because you know what?
Apparently to some people, itās totally wrong if the lead actress of 'Ghost in the Shellā is a white woman playing an Asian character-
But a comic inaccurately portraying Damian Wayne-who is Arab and Chinese, and has a canon olive skin tone-as a white boy, has the right idea?
Yeahā¦no.
I honestly donāt know if spreading the word will do anything. Does DC even listen to us anymore? Butā¦I just had to rant about this because-to me, at least- this is not okay on so many levels.
