Don’t forget a whole lot of the people who worked for Reagan (who understood very little of any of his policies, between being not very bright and the dementia) also worked for both Bush White Houses.

I think a lot about gaining weight as a form of healing

[kalgalen]

Character: gets a lil bit fat after a life of hardships

Me: groundbreaking incredible life changing

[asimovsideburns]

Character: *gets fatter as a visual indicator that they have let their life collapse / they have let their skills erode and are less powerful than they were before / they have become lazy and complacent*

Me: no! bad!

Character: *gets fatter as a visual indicator that they are allowing themself to enjoy things / they are no longer experiencing previous hardships and dangers / they are generally happier*

Me: YEAH!!!!!

By contrast, I’ve been getting the same number of sniffles that I do every year even though there’s no one to catch them from, which is how I learned this year that I’m not prone to minor colds; I’m prone to hayfever.

[marlinspirkhall]

Ohhhh…..

[lamentablesbian]

forgive me while i post about disney on main, but i literally cannot believe that they put a disney princess face… on a dragon

like… what the fuck is this

for contrast, here are some actual dragons, from Thai mythology, which is clearly the inspo for her design, except they’re infinitely cooler

i hate that she’s furry, and has EYEBROWS, and eyelashes and liner? i understand modifying a creature’s design for the sake of animated emotional clarity, but this is weak creature design. this is a human face superimposed on a mythological creature. even worse, it’s disney’s favorite face— with giant eyes, pencil brows, and a button nose, on a dragon.

you can create animated creatures that still look animalistic. the dragons from httyd do this extremely well; they clearly show emotions, but are still obviously, and delightfully, dragons.

they’re covered in scales, have prominent snouts, and reptillian eyes. these are dragons! and they look the part!

anyways, disney really, really needs to get its head out its ass about marketability, and create characters that are actually interesting to look at.

I can’t stand for it anymore.

I see a decent amount of criticism of Giselle’s dress at the ball in ENCHANTED. How, viewers say, could Giselle go from this:

To this:

and think it an improvement?

This is not the ideal choice for a gown for Amy Adams, but I also think that’s the point.

The point is that Giselle spends the first part of the movie singlemindedly trying to leave the city and get back home to her fairy tale. Her growth is when she realized that’s not enough for her any more, and she wants to commit. To put down roots. To date, to adopt the customs of this new world.

This gown isn’t intended to be a “glow up” or a “rags to riches” or “she was beautiful all along”.

Similarly, Robert is introduced to us as a sterile lawyer:

Who ALSO has a dramatic costume change at the ball:

They are DOING THE SAME THING.

Robert is trying to show Giselle he understands that her needs and dreams are not only valid but correct - here he is dancing! In a period suit!

Giselle is trying to show Robert that she can adjust and compromise without losing herself! His world matters too! Here she is in a modern gown!

And neither of them are supposed to stay in those costumes - they’re both costumes. How does the movie end?

In outfits that are casual, maybe, but colorful and indicative of themselves. They’ve met in the middle, but become more themselves. She’s more dignified and he’s more lively.

To whine about Giselle’s ball gown is to miss that that is the critical moment, almost an O. Henry situation, where the two lovers reach so far to each other that they end up changing places.

I’m depressed by how much this is the plot of the book I finished the first draft of a few years ago while I was thinking “whats the worst thing capitalism could do to the space future”

Yes to all and to add one, tone policing. If they can’t think of any other way to dismiss what you are saying, they will critique the way in which you said it. No matter how you said it, they will say you are angry or aggressive.

White folks don’t want silent protests, just silence.

[scripturient-manipulator]

I’m so glad this person put ways to retort against common sayings because I am full of filler words and pauses and not being able to articulate things right and now I have backup words.

imagine being so rich that you never need to attempt to raise money for anything in your goddamned life so you decide to sell organic cage free gluten free soy free lemon water for funsies but no one in your rich neighborhood leaves their house ever so instead you get your underpaid employees to give you, a rich toddler, their money.
