I did Barbieheimer weeks after everyone else and...

Barbie THOUGHTS

and OPPENHEIMER THOUGHTS

SPOILERS

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT, IT WAS AMAZING, CINEMA IS BACK.

But just a few thoughts....

Florence Pugh did not need to be naked for as am long as was ...LIKE WTF...I ADORE FLORENCE I have a crush on Florence but...nah she deserved better than that

Yes, Emily Blunt got substance at the end, but the fact Kitty actually helped Oppenheimer in his research on the biological effects of the bomb....and that seemed to brushed aside to show her drunk and bitter in the film.... But I was willing to let that go, or not even dwell on it because this film is a masterpiece. Till I realized how bitchy some men got over Barbie and not able to deal with having a film...reduce them to mere love interest and calling them on bullshit....that's why I AM like...why are you so UPSET YOU LITTERALLY HAVE OPPENHEIMER and every BLOCKBUSTER EVER....providing everything you love and more____ LIKE

President from Scandal has not aged a day, he is interrogating LIKE A VERY FINE WINEEEE

JOSH AS IN FROM DRAKE AND JOSH?!

Robert Downey Jnr. TOP CONTENDOR FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR along WITH RYAN GOSLING

Cillian Murphy just so amazing, and like I am so glad...he got the lead in this because he was beyond fantastic....and JUST I WAS GRIPPED FROM END TO BEGINNING...I could feel his every emotion...DAMN

Ladies, what was your weird quirk when you went through your ✨pick me girl✨ phase? For me it was avoiding emojis completely because “girls who use emojis are basic”

sometimes a girl wants to wear lip gloss and yellow sweaters and plant a bunch of flowers and write poetry in the sunlight. sometimes a girl wants to wear scarlet lipstick bright as the blood of her enemies, real or imagined, and march around in combat boots and be loud and attend protests. sometimes a girl needs vanilla chapstick and a good book and a mug of hot tea with a friend by her side who’ll tell her it’s okay, and what i’m trying to say here is: it’s all fine. if you aren’t hurting anyone, you are totally fine to do whatever the heck you want. you go girl! slay!

Y’all if you’re gonna call yourself a witch, you’ve gotta be willing to protect the oppressed, including LGBTQ people, minorities, women, poor people, etc. Imo it comes with the territory; even if all you do is try to educate yourself and keep an open mind towards the things you don’t understand, that’s still doing something and that’s awesome!!!

Before my break I passed by a woman trying to take pictures of two girls and she kept saying “actual smile!” before she would take the picture and like...it gave me flashbacks. I don’t wanna over-generalize, but there’s this age (around 10, I’d say) when lots of girls start being aware that they’re *girls* and not just children, and then they start doing things like trying to pose for pictures and their mom’s get frustrated with them for...overperforming their femininity? I guess?? And then they feel bad about it but don’t really know how to stop and no I am not speaking from personal experience what are you talking about. The thing is, I’m pretty sure my sisters were faking their smiles too. They were just better at making it look natural.

And like...if I hadn’t heard so many times that I was Doing It Wrong, I think I probably would’ve learned how to smile for a picture eventually. But as it is, I hate almost every photo of me ever taken, and I’m never going to be able to relax in front of a camera, and since nowadays EVERYONE HAS A CAMERA AT ALL TIMES, I’m kinda worried about these little girls, to be honest.

To any ally/feminist/person who cares about being inclusive:

Don’t make exceptions for trans guys while talking about toxic masculinity.  Trans guys are not this subtype of men who all processed their time read as girls in the exact same way and came to the same conclusions that makes them all just the most perfect allies for the cause. They are not magically detached from every horrible message society has send to men. They are not free for internalizing it and applying it onto others. All trans guys have different experiences, different point of views, different ways to live, different ideologies. And some are toxic and genuelly harmful, wich deserves to be called out just the same as it would if it was coming from a cis guy. You maybe think you are doing us a favor by aknowledging that yes, our experiences are different from that of the average cis guy, but you are not if you only do it to conclude that a trans guy would be fundamentally different from a cis guy in many other ways because, let me tell you, they are not. A trans guy is just another guy. Nothing more. Nothing less. I am just so tired of people pretending as if trans guys were this softy unproblematic little bean that can do no wrong, just because they ASSUME that their time “living as the other gender” would be a life lesson to them about everything that is wrong with the world. For some, maybe it was. Maybe they phrased exacty like that. But just applied that reasoning to trans guys as a default feels a lot more like estereotyping, generalization and bullshit. Not to mention, I dislike the tried to turn something that was legit traumatic for a lot of trans guys into a positive thing without their consent.  Some trans guys are out there trying their best to be positive influences in the world, to try to be the best allies they can for communities they are not part of. Some trans guys are just great. Just like some cis guys are. Their transness or cissness had nothing to do with that, but with wanting to do better for someone else. Don’t take that hardwork away from them because of your preconcieved ideas of what being trans means to someone.
