we’ve gotten to this point in media literacy where romeo and juliet and all it’s derivates are now considered enemies to lovers. i blame this solely on booktok.
I love those Marvel comics that focus on like the cutesy animal characters bc u have random characters inhabiting the same space when they would probs never interact in a actual story
Like heyyyy it's Spider Gwen and Moongirl
I'm kinda mmmmm about people who watch Encanto and interpret it as "This is just another movie where children forgive their toxic family members so it's bad 😠" cause ik that likely comes from a place of being wronged by their own family members but idk
Ahh all this 2d concept art of Alma is only making it much more transparent that she sees her young self in Isabela and that's why she pushed for her to strive for perfection so much
I MEAN IT'S LITERALLY CHRISTIANITY THE BIRTH OF PURITY CULTURE so I should not be surprised but also gross
I grew up a Baptist so unfamiliar w whatever else Catholic doctrine says
this is an insane thing to do AND KEEP IN THE MOVIE when the characters in question are a 17 year old girl and a dude that at least has to be in his 30s 😭
i’m sorry but for them to build up leightum with soooo much attraction and chemistry, tatum making leighton feel safe enough to come out, involving their dads etc just to destroy them so quickly was WRONG !
Mirabel has the character design ever actually She's so cute I smile everytime she was on screen which is cool because she's the protag so theres hardly a scene without her
Like I understand why you might feel like Abuela got off too easy but I feel like people who only see that after watching are missing something Like it's not lost me most ppl who view Abuela as some irredeemable, homophobic villain are white ppl who are thinking from their pov
@meatgirI
There's this one hc that he actually didn't tell her, he just had the vision and said it aloud for whatever reason and cause Dolores has super hearing ofc she parsed it out
Not that I'm trying to like gatekeep generational trauma or whatnot but this movie was specifically about how that affects Colombians of colour Specifically people who have been displaced due to civil wars, have lost their homes and lost loved ones and had to start anew and how+
their trauma from those events trickles down into their descendants
Like I will always maintain that though there may be various horrible reasons for why people turn out the way they do and hurt others, people are still responsible for their individual actions, but I don't+
think it's necessarily so horrible that Encanto gives us a narrative where someone sees how their actions are bringing about pain in those around them in the current day and and actually acknowledging they were wrong and choosing to do better
Idk I saw it as more like coming to peace with the fact that your ancestors had to suffer so much to get to this point and acknowledging that rather than just forgive and forget. To like break the cycle which is good, now Antonio doesn't have to grow up in a house where+
Ik cause like especially American culture places such importance on individualism why an ending where an entire family chooses to heal together from all the wounds of the past seems off Like they see "Your family is awful, you should leave them" as the only valid way
Which I always support messages of people removing themselves from toxic households, cutting off abusive family members and finally living their own life
But seeing a family of POC working together, learning from the past, being considerate and actively making better choices+
bruh why does this have 1k likes
before i mute this i alr said in the reply i did not grow up w catholic doctrine <3 sometimes ppl tweet things abt new info they see on here w out expecting to draw a crowd lol Praying nothing stupid happens in these replies lol
everyone has repressed feelings or doesn't speak up about their true wants because of expectations or people who feel like they're unwanted because they don't fit the mold of how their family thinks they should be
Owl House fans stop posting borderline disturbing fan content just so you can say "GUYS LOOKAT HOW FUCKED UP THIS IS????" I swear just cause u saw somthn doesn't mean we have to as well U could have just taken it to the grave
Anyways all this rambling just to say I don't mind that Abuela was forgiven at the end I understand the want for characters (especially children) to cut off toxic family members and have that be portrayed as the happy ending, but with Encanto specifically I think+
@TSUBARlKA
Getting thru a passage in her pov and realizing the author is having her describe and comment on how ppl physically look and their facial expressions like wait,,
@soggystyrofoam
srsly tho Rarity got some of the best songs ever like Art of the Dress Reprise, Generosity, The Type of Pony Everypony should know...Kazumi Evans the va that u are
@ghostonthstereo
lmao when Casita got destroyed Everyone lost their gifts lol and it probs took a whole month to rebuild the house so a lot of them may have been under the assumption they weren't coming back
Nothing says how oblivious white gays are more than how they'd ship Kipo's mom with a white lady who literally wants to destroy her family rather than her black husband who already loves her unconditionally
Some of y'all really need to understand how mixed ppl work cause I'm seeing ppl say Willow can't be Blasian cause she doesn't "look black". Idk how to tell u this but a lot of ppl mixed w/ black don't "look black" either
@MAGICALGAYMERS
i remember one of the heartbreaking things that stuck out to me was that she chastised the child for sucking his thumb but ppl found pics of her own white daughter who is equally as young doing it just fine :( They rlly do see these children as "other"
That headcanon people have that Alma pressured Julieta and Pepa to have more kids after Mirabel because she was scared of future generations not getting the miracle makes me extremely uncomfortable I'm not sorry
@SunnyDionysus
Tumblr in general is a breeding ground for kids to be indoctrinated into so many horrible ideologies Like ppl like to make jokes abt the lack of moderation like "Haha I can threaten politicians on here On Twitter I'd get permabanned" but that's like a double edged sword my guy
Noah Schnapp’s ‘Stranger Things’ co-star Brett Gelman says Noah didn’t need to apologize for his comments on Israel and Palestine:
“I saw nothing wrong. He held up a sticker saying ‘Zionism is sexy’… zionism is the believe that Israel should exist, and that’s sexy to me too.”
If a nonbinary person says they are sapphic, then they're sapphic, that's it. Their agab doesn't matter. Their presentation doesn't matter. Their pronouns don't matter. Stop telling nonbinary people what they can and can't be
