look…………….. write as much shitty fic as you want. nobody can stop you. you’re learning constantly and it’s better to write hackneyed implausible ridiculousness than it is to not write at all out of fear of fucking up. you’re good
There was an experiment a professor did. I think it was pottery students. He did an experiment of “quality” vs “quantity”. One half of the class he told; you have to make as many pots as possible. Good pots, bad pots, shitty pots, whatever. The more pots you make, the higher your grade.
The other half of the class were told, “you can make only one pot”. But that pot had to be perfect. The quality had to be high; the highest quality pot would get the best mark.
But when it came to the grading, they noticed something weird.
All the best quality pots were in the ‘quantity’ group.
The guys who were literally churning out pots, trying to make as many as possible, not concentrating on the quality. But every pot they made, made them better at making pots. By the end of the month (I think it was a month) - they had some pretty awesome pots coming out, because they enjoying finding all the ways and all the things they could do to make all their pots. Where as the ‘quality’ guys had spent their time reading up on pots, and technique, and researching and planning; which was all great but they’d had no further practice at actually making pots.
The best way to get really good at something, the only way to be really good at something, is to make lots of shitty attempts at that thing several of which will fail. If all you create are perfect things then you won’t improve, because how can you improve on perfect?
tl:dr MAKE YOUR SHITTY POTS.
I’m reading a book on critical race theory (about the U.K., US, and Australia) and it’s hilariously sad that the US essentially checks off all the boxes towards essentially everyone, including other Europeans. Like, “white culture” is incredibly toxic.
“Black culture is incredibly toxic”
What a way to be racist.
By the way, I put “white culture” in quotations for a reason. It’s because white culture forced certain Europeans to forget their own ties to their own roots back in Europe (many of my friends don’t even know their heritage) and a lot of those Europeans were often the not so well liked ones (Irish, Scottish, Polish, Italian, Lithuanian, ETC) by the English, Dutch, and French and was used as way to subjugate others because it created a concept of superiority based on race (and class to a certain extent). I’m not saying Europeans are toxic but the idea of whiteness is part of a of an idea that came with colonization and hurt many people.
Teach The Truth.
This. We need to teach this along with the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Not gloss or ignore it.
Ummmmmm we do that already.
Not all schools teach the same curriculum because it’s based on what the state wants to teach and I can’t speak for Native American issues but I’ve had so many conversations where the illegal overthrow of Hawaii is and was not reached so I know that it has been glossed over in history books outside of Hawaii.
It has been glossed over. I remember in high school, we had two different textbooks. One covered the overthrow really well while the other reduced everything that happened to barely a page. I went to high school in a town that was very rich in Hawaiian culture, so we had some debates about that all year round.
i still don't get why lucas was so shook at rileys 'lookin good georgie washington' lol
it’s because he’s not ready!! he’s never ready for riley to swoop in and be charming and make a move and it’s so f u n n y like not only is he shook at this, this is a recurring pattern where riley PULLS SOMETHING and lucas is like w h o a
“oh my god wait what just happened… do i run?? do i say something back?? wait im not quick enough for this i need like ten minutes to prepare, maybe i should buy some notecards or something. crap. dang it riley”
“oh my god WAIT…. did she really just… i didnt make that up did i??? what’s happening?? i think im dying. im probably hallucinating. im so caught off-guard like… what am i supposed to do??? what do i say?? ok, i’m gonna say something really clever if can just look her in the eyes ok lucas be cool”
“dang it riley”
“ok well she’s really going the heck off here, doesn’t know anything about sports?? mhm ok riley sure. ok crap what am i supposed to do. i gotta say something cool. wow she’s so cute. ok no shut up and focus lucas. be cool. say something cool. you got this.”
“i really like you, riley”
“nailed it.”
Your honor, out of all the cases you gonna hear today, which one is gonna matter 100 years from now? Which one is gonna make you the first?
What’s difficult about being from Hawaii is that everyone has a postcard view of your home. Hawaii lives vividly in people’s minds as nothing more than a weeklong vacation – a space of escape, fantasy and paradise. But Hawaii is much more than a tropical destination or a pretty movie backdrop — just as Aloha is way more than a greeting. The ongoing appropriation and commercialization of all things Hawaiian only makes it clearer as to why it is inappropriate for those with no ties to Hawaii, its language, culture and people to invoke the Hawaiian language. This is uniquely true for aloha – a term that has been bastardized and diminished with its continual use. Most who invoke the term aloha do not know its true meaning. Aloha actually comes from two Hawaiian words: Alo – which means the front of a person, the part of our bodies that we share and take in people. And Ha, which is our breath. When we are in each other’s presence with the front of our bodies, we are exchanging the breath of life. That’s Aloha.

How about
We petition that Kidagahkash Nedakh be turned into an official princess??
I mean, let’s talk about Kidagakash, AKA Kida for a minute here.
She’s got all the makings of a Disney Princess.
1. She’s royal blood. She’s the princess of the lost city of Atlantis.
2. She lost her mother when she was baby.
Unlike most Disney Princesses, she watched her mother as she was taken and essentially killed, along with most of her society.
3. She loses her father, too.
Who is also played by Lenard fucking Nemoy, okay?
But here’s some other, unconventional stuff that makes Kida amazing and a perfect edition to the current line up.
This girl can KICK. ASS.
She doesn’t take being spoken to rudely AT ALL.
When some fuckers try to get the drop on her- they grab her by the hair and yank her out of the water- she doesn’t fucking take that shit, she kicks several of their fucking asses, until the dagger she holds is eventually shot out of her hand.
Kida also is a martyr, accepting her fate, the same one that took her mother.
She does this without question, once the Crystal spoke to her and possessed her. In addition to this, another thing that makes her amazing is that, despite being a total bad-ass, she still needed to be rescued; but it was at her own choice. She knew that she was going to be taken, and she knew that the protagonist and love interest Milo Thatch would save her. She trusted and had faith in him and the others around him, despite the fact that Milo is basically a giant dingus. Which leads me to talk about her prince, so to say, Milo Thatch.
In fact, she is so sure of this, that she even tells him so.
Let’s talk about Milo for a minute.
He’s a big part of her, because he isn’t a prince. He’s not pretty, or handsome, or overly masculine, or anything like that. In fact, as far as Disney Love Interests go, he’s basically a bottom tier. He’s a beta male and she is the one in charge, but he steps up as her other half, brings her back to her people so that she can save them.
She is also the one who turns him into royalty by marrying him. In addition to this, she actually becomes queen, which also breaks the Disney trend of Queens Are Bad.
Kida is beautiful, she is active and faithful. Her parents are not obsticales to overcome [Like Jasmine, Ariel, Marida, Repunzel (technically), Pocahontas, and Cinderella] but rather a fixed point. She is faithful to her father and respects him. She defies him, but only because she feels it is the greater good for her people, not for herself or her personal interests. Kida is incredibly selfless in that regard, and it speaks volumes for being an example toward younger girls.
She’s also incredibly non-conventional, what with having magical powers- technically, what with her ability to heal with the crystals that power her people- in addition to having white hair, darker skin, and tattoos. Her outfit isn’t skimpier than, say, Ariel or Jasmine, as some people might have concerns about.
Also, Kida is nearly nine-thousand years old. No, really. She was an infant when Atlantis was taken into the sea, and Milo mentions specifically that she has to be between 8,200-8,800 years old. This is an interesting dynamic because, obviously, she's magical and has been kept young for thousands of years; but that also means she has many, many years more to learn.
Kida also uses Thatch, originally, to learn. He can read ancient scriptures and tomes, when her people cannot. Her people are dying, and she needs him to help restore it. She wants to learn, she knows how valuable something as simple as reading is, and she cherishes Milo’s talent in such a thing.
So, STOP bitching about Elsa and Anna from Frozen, and let’s put it out to Disney that Kida from Atlantis should be a Princess.
She’s beautiful, she’s strong, she’s a fighter, she’s selfless, she becomes an incredible leader, she has an amazing relationship with her father, she made her love interest a prince and then a king, she is eager to learn, she’s original, she’s faithful, and she fell in love with a man for his smarts, his mettle, his bravery and his own loyalty to her and her people.
Oh, and at the end?
They didn’t kiss.
It is inferred at the end of the movie that after taking the throne and restoring their city, only then do they get married. This isn’t a 3-day love story, people, this is a friendship that became a bond that resulted in marriage.
Kida is incredible, and so is Milo. Atlantis is an underrated movie, and Kida is an under-the-radar princess.
1)i had no idea she wasn’t considered a Disney Princess. 2)That’s stupid coz she’s royalty so wtf 3)This movie should have been a show on a big budget because it totally deserved more development.
Yesssssss, all of this!!!
