In ‘Barbie The Princess And The Pauper’ Wolfie is an allegory for not fitting into the gender binary.

So I was watching 'Barbie the Princess and the Pauper’ cuz memories and I’m a nerd THE REASONS NOT IMPORTANT

Anyway, the song 'The cats meow’ suddenly had a completely new meaning to me.

If you’ve never watched the movie, or can’t remember, the protagonist’s cat Wolfie doesn’t meow, he barks.

When Wolfie starts trying to meow instead of bark, Erica (Barbie) notices.

“I can see it when you’re feeling low

You can’t hide that from me

You’re no status quo calico

So why keep trying to be?”

This childrens movie shows a character who was born a cat (feminine) but has always found it more natural to bark like a dog (masculine). Not only is his friend supportive of that, she loves it.

“if you bark

Celebrate it

Make your mark

Serenade it

Noah’s ark

Shoulda had a cat like you.

And if what you are

Is a strange you

Doesn’t mean

You should change you

Only means

You should change your point of view.”

It’s a message so needed in today’s society and it was made in 2004!? And directed at young children!? It’s so amazing and I’m so proud. This honestly made me cry.

“There is not

One hair on you

That I would rearrange

I love you

The way you are

And that will never change

That will never change.”

You are different. And it’s amazing. Your imperfect and that’s perfect. Be yourself, you are always worthy of unconditional love.

It’s such a powerful message and I’ve heard noone talking about it?

never be good at your job. it's a trap. they'll just give you more and harder stuff to do and it'll pull you away from your true passion of writing gay fanfiction for people on the internet

I have a lot of feelings about Psych. A black male lead that doesn’t fall into stereotypes. A cop-adjacent show that doesn’t prop up the police as infallible or even necessarily good. A genuinely compelling m/f romance that wasn’t forced. Not textually queer but the undercurrent of queerness isn’t treated like a joke (mostly). A complicated father-son relationship that doesn’t paint either party as irredeemable. A cast of main characters that are clearly neurodivergent but are accepted with love. A comedy show that doesn’t shy away from serious emotions when it needs to.

I have a lot of feelings about Psych.

"the worst part about the hunger games is that peeta will never love katniss as much as he did the first time" the hijacked peeta who remembered katniss' favourite colour and not his own? the peeta who returned to district 12 for her (HE HAD NO ONE ELSE LEFT!!!!!) and planted primroses in her garden for her? the peeta who grew old with katniss, had children with katniss, lived with katniss, will never love her the way he did when he was a boy of 16/17 years old, when he was never acknowledging her flaws? when he was also playing it up a LOT to (not to say it wasn't genuine. he was certainly genuine. but there was a strategic aspect there.) better their chances in the games? that peeta loved katniss more than he did in and after mockingjay? really?

I saw someone say that by dying in the bombing that Prim died the way she was always meant to if Katniss hadn't intervened. Surrounded by innocent children. I haven't been the same since.

I'll hand it to Plutarch, he manipulated the manipulator. I hope Snow felt betrayed like the little bitch boy he was when the third Quarter Quell went down

No but the Hunger Games really said "what do you hate more- the atrocities or the people who commit them against you? Because like it or not there IS a difference. If you hate the people who commit acts of pure evil more than you hate the acts themselves, what will stop you from becoming just like your enemies in your pursuit of justice? What will keep you from commiting those very same acts against THEM when the opportunity arises? And what then? The cycle of pain and suffering will never stop. Round and round it'll go. Nothing will ever change. But. BUT. If you hate the atrocities. If you hate the vile, senseless acts MORE than you hate the people who did them to you. If you are able to see that evil is evil regardless of who does it... The cycle ends with you. No, you may never get justice. But you will never be responsible for making others, even your enemies, suffer the same crimes you have. The atrocities will never be committed by you, never by your hand. And that's the way you change the world. It's the ONLY way" and that's why I am sure it will never stop being one of the most relevant works of fiction ever created

This but about the Epstein files.

El needed the “independence from men” arc, not Nancy.

Steve needed the “it’s okay if your crush doesn’t like you back” arc, not Will.

Mike needed the “you’re braver than you think” arc, not Holly.

Mileven needed the “shared trauma doesn’t mean we’re compatible” breakup, not Jancy.

Byler needed the “I just needed you” resolution, not Lumax.

Either Willel or Elmax needed the “you understand me better than anyone” resolution, not Mileven.

They kept giving the right arcs to the wrong characters and the wrong relationships.

[buckleybeat]

and i will forever be pissed about it.

[darkcomedies]

new years eve is my favorite holiday like let’s go out and get drunk and dance or stay in and watch tv all to celebrate another year we didn’t kill ourselves. i love you.

If there is ANYTHING reinforced by stranger things 5 it’s that Dustin has some kind of found family aura luring people in that even the military should fear.

Like s1 Mike is fully willing to die for him

s2 steve sees him and they just latch onto each other now brothers for life and Nancy dances with him at the snowball so he won’t be alone. He breaks through the power of the hive mind by caring for dart and he dies after sparing him in the tunnels

s3 robin and steve sacrifice themselves by getting captured by the Russians to give him and Erica the chance to run gaining a fellow nerd in Erica who latches onto him too

s4 you have Eddie dying to save him and older brother-ing his way into his life

And s5 we see how his science teacher is willing to throw everything he was doing out of the window to go make a telemetry tracker at the chance he may be in danger with no evidence to prove it??

He is simply too powerful

This is taking me out 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[green-in-the-midwest]

Why did Murray and Mr. Clarke have more chemistry than Mike and Will in Volume 2 and why is it Trump's fault

[thefandomhashira]

It's literally Trump's fault

[crown-prince-zuko]

"I think it's important to show younger people that not every crush they have will work out" Yeah because queer youth truly struggle with thinking that all their feelings will be requited.

the sexual tension between two gas stations on the same intersection

[yarking]

I’m so sick of this shit. Two gastations can’t even be on the same block without some walnut shipping them, while I can’t find a single fic for dennys/applebees with dennys bottoming.

[storytruths]

you’re literally out of your mind if you think Dennys isnt a top

[the-haiku-bot]

you’re literally

out of your mind if you think

Dennys isnt a top

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[thefandomhashira]

Applebees a top????? Where??

[fractally]

I literally can't believe I spent so much time in the trenches defending TTPD only to get this hot mess of an album. The Life of a Showgirl was literally so bad I had to go back and re-listen to Taylor Swift's entire discography to convince myself I hadn't somehow gaslighted myself into thinking she had genuine talent

Which I didn't. The heights of her discography are indeed pretty fantastic, so like, what the fuck happened here. This is Martin? This is Shellback? What are we doing? What happened to her ability to write??

[fractally]

Like let me be super clear here: I think even the negative reviews are extremely under-indexing on how bad this album is. This is so bad it's hard for me to believe Taylor Swift even wrote it. I half hope that she reveals it was AI all along or something.

And the issue isn't that she has cringe referenes to Kelce's dick or that everything sounds like mid-tempo mush, it's that none of these songs make sense .

Ok none is too strong, but what's the quintessiential Swift song. A strong cinematic hook---the scarf in All Too Well, the pub in The Black Dog, the John Hughes movie bleachers & t-shirt in You Belong with Me---and then draw out from that image to tell a story within a pop song. Her genius is that she compresses a movie into 3 minutes with a sing along-able chorus.

What song on Showgirl does anything like that? Not any of the first three, which are the only ones that sound half-decent sonically. What does "dancing through lightning strikes" and "bed full of scorpions" have to do with anything? Am I supposed to understand these images as meaningful? What's the point of these songs? I genuinely can't figure out what Swift is trying to say on Eldest Daughter other than kind of a vague gesture towards the ideas she's previously developed so sharply in songs like this is me trying, mirror ball, and you're on your own now, kid.

The closest songs to Swiftian classic form are Ruin the Friendship and The Life of a Showgirl---the first is the most passable song on the record, but I'm not sure how I feel about this particular instance of the third verse inversion. Just came off a bit gauche to me, but whatever. The latter song is just bad? How does one write a showgirl song built around the sleepiest drum & clap line ever heard. Max where are you. what is going on. why is this happening
