I must be on the wrong side of Tumblr, but this year I haven't seen anyone celebrating the Ides of March here. The month is almost OVER and we're not praying for the downfall of our favorite dictators? How come nobody's talking about Caesar salad and the 64 stabbings? OR ET TU BRUTE!! HOWW???
Anyway, I may be late but happy ides of March 🥳!!
Serious matter! Which do we prefer? Nymph Daphne or human Daphne?
who's better?
Nymph Daphne
Human Daphne
I'll make my point: I'll always prefer the nymph Daphne, even though I also like her human version. The problem was that her turning human was a plot hole, because we all know she was DEAD in the first seasons, but as we all know, plot holes are Winx's specialty. But my preference isn't just due to the plot hole; it's also how she previously had that role of being a guide, a remnant of Bloom's past, in addition to that enigmatic and mysterious personality, not to mention her top-tier design. I think the problem was that her character in the sixth season was sidelined throughout the episodes, and she seemed like Daphne but at the same time wasn't. Besides, her becoming a teacher at Alfea made no sense at all. She should have been in Domino fulfilling her duties as future queen or as a nymph of Magix. I could spend hours describing how stupid it was that they didn't explore that side of her further, but it's Winx, if they don't even develop the main characters, imagine a secondary character (there was so much potential) 😭
England STOP!
Stop, London history museum, stop! Stop stealing artifacts from other countries. Return Ramsesses II to Egypt.
Okay, I lied. I said Frollo was the best villain ever, and that's no lie. I really think he's one of the best-written Disney villains, besides being a raw villain who definitely exists in the real world. But let's not talk about him in this post, but about ZIGZAG THE GRAND VIZIER! The way he gags, finishes off, and destroys all the Disney villains, especially that useless Jafar! (I love Jafar, but to this day I can't accept how Disney literally did an exact copy-paste of ZigZag.)
But to provide some context, since many of you may not know where this villain came from, ZigZag, known as the Grand Vizier of the Golden Land. He's part of the movie "The Thief and the Cobbler" , and he's one of the main antagonists, along with Mighty One-Eye. His goal is to obtain the Balls of the Kingdom (literally balls, they are golden balls that bring protection to the kingdom) and then blackmail the king to win the hand of Princess Yum Yum (one of the protagonists). It can be said that this film is what made Aladdin what it is today. The concepts are very similar: a vizier in love with the princess who likes the poor guy. But there's a catch with this film: it took about 20 years to make and, in the end, was never finished. Mainly due to Richard Williams' perfectionism. But for those who say there's no resemblance between the two films, I'll show how similar the Genie and Jafar are in personality and physical appearance compared to ZigZag.
The genie is literally a well-made copy of ZigZag; both have an extravagant personality, but while the genie is a good being with real magic, ZigZag is just a charlatan who only got into trouble because of Tack' tacks. Meanwhile, Jafar and ZigZag.
For this one, I won't even say anything. Both are in love with the princess, they want to ruin the one who appeared at the palace and won the princess's heart, BOTH HAVE A PET BIRD and are viziers. Like, literally the same person. But a particularity of ZigZag that I think makes him unique is actually his more extravagant personality. Jafar, despite having his pearls of wisdom, is more serious even when he's talking to Iago, but ZigZag? I can't even say how much I feel sorry for Phido (the pet bird), the little creature is mistreated in every way. And I think the fact that the animation is more fluid in The Thief and the Cobbler gives ZigZag a more dramatic movement than even the Genie and Jafar have. Besides, another point for ZigZag is that he's voiced by Vincent Price. Yes, Vincent Price.
It's a shame that a film with so much potential not only ended up being overshadowed by another film but also ended up sabotaging itself and being a failure. I have to say that I still prefer Aladdin, but I think everyone should give this film a chance, mainly because of the incredible animation and the way ZigZag steals the show whenever he appears. The film is available on YouTube. (And ZigZag speaks in rhymes, just a fun fact.)
One thing I know for sure now is that talking to Judge Holden is much better than talking to the weirdos on Tumblr. At least the conversation with Holden would be somewhat civilized at first, unlike with the weirdos here.
(You know the experience is insane when you prefer to talk to this thing)
Okay, I know people don't pay much attention to my discoveries about actors or fun facts. But something I literally just discovered was shocking to me.
Many people probably don't know the musical Cats, and most of those who do know it's because of that awful CGI-heavy movie (opinion: that movie would have been much better if they had followed the original script and costumes, because the costumes in the previous versions were so good, especially those from 1983 and 1998). Continuing... I was scrolling through TikTok and came across a video about Cats, specifically the song "Memory" from the 1983 version. Well, I went to the comments and they were talking about the singer, and since I really liked that song, I decided to look her up, and wouldn't you know it, I discovered that the wonderful voice that sings that song is the same person who played the teacher in Carrie from 1976, Betty Buckley!!! I was taken by surprise; besides being a great actress and me really liking her role in Carrie, she also sings one of the most beautiful songs in a musical. In addition to having a enviable and admirable voice.
I'll put the song below for anyone who wants to listen.
And finally, here is the actress out of her cat costume:
RIP AMINO 💀🪦
I just got home and I feel a strange urge to log into Amino to talk to some online friends I haven't spoken to in a while and to see how the communities are doing, and as soon as I enter the app I'm faced with a blue home screen and a "no connection" message. I tried to log into my profile and nothing. Obviously, I searched for what happened and came across videos and people on Reddit saying that Amino is down. I mean, WHAT? HOW? That place was quite dubious but still held incredible memories. Besides, it was the only place where I could interact with people.
I think I've lost my ability to make friends online. (Anyone out there? Anyone to chat with?)
omg! New obsession. I am known for having huge obsessions with characters, especially Disney villains. This is quite obvious when it comes to the fact that I love and hate Frollo. I have had obsessions with Maleficent, Jafar, Ratigan, Evil Queen and so on. But something I don't understand is how there is so little content about Governor Ratcliffe. I think he is everything. Yes, he may be a joke in the first Pocahontas movie, but in the second, he is the mastermind of the whole thing. I just wish my baby got as much attention as the other Disney villains. Give me content about the fake original copy of Frollo, please.
It's complicated for me; I actually like him as a villain (gotta make that point clear), but I really, really, REALLY don't like the movie he's from. I really wish he'd been the villain of a movie that was just about colonization in the Americas that left actual historical figures out of it and didn't try to "both sides" the issue. That still might have had issues, but probably would have been less troubling. Also, like you said, he was more of a threat in the second movie, which was one of its saving graces, IMO.
I think the problem with Pocahontas is that it glosses over the colonizers too much. I think the fact that Disney adapted something that actually happened and not a pre-existing fairy tale (as they usually do) is what made the plot lose its way a bit. I think the problem with the film is more the tone in which it's told and the way Ratcliffe is treated as a joke in the first film. I particularly like the relationship between Pocahontas and John Smith (I hated what they did with them in the second film), but I think the biggest problem is that they could have taken the romance further and shown that Smith wasn't like the other Englishmen, but the problem is that they handle the film's theme rather lightly, as if Ratcliffe wasn't a serious threat. I think if the film had a tone more like The Hunchback of Notre Dame (aka one of Disney's best films), I think it would be much better. Primarily because Ratcliffe is only taken seriously by the plot too late in the first film, and although the second one succeeds in making him a more serious villain, I think they did it too late.
i wanna ragebait AHHHHHHHHH!
The first people I'm going to ragebait are reichblr. Like, wtfff??? WHY IS THERE A NAZI COMMUNITY HERE?! AND THEY AREN'T EVEN NORMAL NAZIS, THEY'RE NAZIS WHO POST PICTURES OF OTHER NAZIS WITH BOWS!! (This is literally what I warned about in my other post)
I mean, I have nothing to do with these people's lives, but don't you feel kind of bad? Like... these people were criminals! Besides, most of you are all hypocrites. I remember reading a scene where a member of this CURSED fandom introduced herself and said she was Black and Jewish, my reaction was instantaneous 😰 like, how can you be black and jewish and still like those guys? THEY TRIED TO KILL YOUR ENTIRE RACE ?!
The worst part is that it's hard to tell which people are doing it for satire or because they genuinely enjoy that kind of stuff. A typical "lowkey must" post in that fandom is: "OMG HE'S SO CUTE! He's such a silly boy!" AND THEN IT'S HITLER!!
These people need to revisit some scenes, take some history lessons. But like, the absurdities I saw there made me laugh out loud, it's like a drug.
What's so funny about Jewish people and blacks? Guys... I think hitler runs this account
HEY?!!?? I feel offended at being compared to that middle-aged man!
I would certainly have a much more stylish mustache.
IM SORRY IM SORRY
Stalin?
NOOOOO !!!
My name is Charles II, HUZZAHHHH!
IM SORRY IM SORRY
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT (UH!) 🤧
TEARS FILLING MY EYES.. I CRY OUT
"S-SCREW YOU!!!"
💀💀 GAGGED !!! 😭

Should I be horrified by the number of people who treat historical figures like babies? Don't get me wrong, I'm a fangirl too, and I love seeing those pictures of men who died over a century ago with bows in their hair. But I think people are taking it a bit too far and forgetting that many of these figures committed unforgivable crimes or were simply jerks.
Lately, what we've seen most on TikTok is people defending Marie Antoinette, as if she remained a 14-year-old child her whole life. Obviously, I think the way the revolutionaries treated her was quite wrong, but she certainly wasn't a saint and was complicit with the system of the old regime. I love Marie Antoinette, but I think it's time for people to start separating fiction from reality.
(coquette jfk to brighten the day 😊)
I'm absolutely obsessed with those 2000s-vibe Monster High photo edits, so I had to put my useless skills to work and made this.
Out of nowhere I became obsessed with Nefera and I needed to edit her, especially since she's a character who doesn't appear much in the average story (mainly because she's kind of a b*tch and not one of the main, but it's okay, we still love her).
She's just not the best Monster High character because Cleo and Spectra exist 😝
I just finished watching Sergei Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible Part 1 and Part 2. And what can I say is that they are both peak cinema.
I found the first part a bit slow, since I didn't have much historical context at first, I didn't really understand what was happening. Also, at first, the extremely exaggerated acting bothered me a bit. But at the end of Part 1 (it took me almost months to finish Part 1), I saw a comment about the film saying that the film was expected to be so dramatic considering Russian ballet and its art. After that comment, I was like, "That actually makes a lot of sense..." and after that, my view completely changed. I finished watching Part 1 and immediately started watching Part 2, which I watched in two days (both films are around an hour and a half long), and I found it a masterpiece of cinema, especially the last part of the second film. The Oprichniks' dance? Chef kiss! But one thing I hadn't noticed from the beginning was that this guy:
WAS NOT A GUY, BUT YES A WOMAN! AND WORSE, IT WAS THE TSAR'S AUNT IN THE FILM!
I was halfway through the second part, the part where Ivan discovered that his aunt had poisoned his wife, but I was like, "Aunt? But wasn't that the guy in black?" So I went to the credits at the beginning of the film and saw that the supposed guy in black was the Tsar's aunt. And then I thought, uhm! Representation: a man playing a woman? NO! IT WAS A WOMAN PLAYING A WOMAN! I googled it and saw that the actress's name was Serafima Birman, and I looked at the images of her playing the character in the film and I really couldn't see the resemblance; it didn't seem like the same person. And this discovery made my day 100 percent better.
(a comparison of actress Serafima Birman and her character Efrosinya Staritskaya)
Anyway, I loved the performances of all the actors in this film and it's a film that I recommend to people who like history and a lot of drama 😂
Since my last PMaTGA post received quite a reception, I was thinking about introducing my OCs from the Pac Man universe.
Sella — Sella is Elliptica's best friend. She's 15 and a history fanatic. She lives in Japan but is of European descent. I decided to create her because of a conversation between Pac-Man and Elliptica where she says he's not the only yellow person in the world. If there were a third season of PMaTGA, the concept of this conversation would probably be explored much more. So, in my universe, to further develop this plot, Elliptica would stay in Pacopolis and contact Sella so she and Pac-Man could meet and she could tell her more about the yellow people.
This OC isn't as developed because it's new, but I'd like to create a sort of "master and apprentice" dynamic between her and Pac Man, and lots of funny interactions between her and Betrayus (especially because of the fanatical part about her history and Betrayus being a literal historical figure).
Some quotas — "That's the Betrayus? The Lord Betrayus? The one who nearly wiped out an entire race, committed unforgivable war crimes, and conquered nearly the entire world and caused a war?!" Sella spoke in disbelief upon hearing Pac Man's cartoonish description of Betrayus.
__________________________
Quimera — ((Read Shimera)) Chimera is a high school student at one of the most prestigious schools in Pacopolis. She's 17 years old and is part of the Betas society along with her two best friends. At first, she was quite cold and rude to Pac-Man and his friends. The group met her when Cylindra accidentally bumped into one of Chimera's friends, Lola. From then on, a rivalry developed between Pac and Chimera's group. Until one day, when a ghost invasion was taking place in Pacopolis, the ghosts' victory seemed almost imminent when they surrounded Pac, until Chimera arrived in the battle and defeated the ghosts with a magical scepter, something passed down through generations in her family. She is a white Pac citizen; I chose this color purposefully since the only white citizen of Pacopolis we know of was Betrayus when he was alive. So, I deduced that white Pac citizens are probably rare. I also did this to suggest a connection between her and the underworld. (I won't say more because it's a spoiler later) But basically she ends up accidentally helping to summon the three pillars of balance in Pac World to defeat a bigger threat.
The Chimera AU is already finished, so there is already better worldbuilding that ended up correcting script errors and deepening the world of Pac World and the Underworld.
