After being gone for the weekend and watching the Barbie movie I came back to my childhood home. I went to the basement where there’s remnants of my brother and I’s childhoods and laying there facedown, underneath a garbage bag of old clothes that never made it to goodwill, is Ken. And I thought how poetic is it that, like the movie, I made a big show of getting rid of my Barbies in this big box and declaring I’m too old for them now as if I was in Toy Story 3.

Yet there’s Ken.

He hasn’t been thought of in years— much less made the cut to be apart of the “I’m so old now” show I put on for my mom.

I want my Barbies back.

I want my girls back.

No, I don’t want to go out as a 20 year old woman and buy myself a doll. I want mine back. The ones that were based on the movies and sang and changed colors when they got wet. The ones with terrible hairdos and mismatched shoes. The ones who got different backstories as often as their clothes were changed.

I want to be a little girl again.

I just woke up from a dream about if they were still making Good Luck Charlie episodes but the only characters in it were Bob, Amy, and Teddy.

We open with the three of them in the living room all sitting together. Something is said and it’s revealed that Teddy has just gotten out of her time in prison. It’s never specified what she did or how long she was in there for.

Amy: Don’t worry, Teddy it’s not like we’re ever gonna trust you with anything ever again. Laughtrack

Teddy: Wha- just because I was in jail?? You forget that I learned some valuable stuff while I was in there. Laughtrack

Bob: Well, whatever. You still have to depend on us we were the only ones to visit and call you.

Teddy: That’s not true! … I received a call from one other person and it was lovely. Laughtrack

Amy: Who was calling you from prison??

Teddy: … (quietly) A recruiter for the USSR. Laughtrack

[remember this was a dream]

Bob: And what did the Russian Army have to say, Teddy?

Teddy: They were very sweet to me and said they would love for me to join but they had to let me know that this could lead to more prison time down the road.

(End scene)

The next scene we see Amy in the living room watching tv as Teddy walks by not paying attention really.

Teddy: Whatcha watching mom?

Amy: (scrambling for the remote) Nothing!! Laughtrack

Teddy: 🤨 Hey isn’t this a rerun of that old show Little Miss Southern Cupcake?

Amy: (deafeatedly) Teddy, there’s something I have to tell you. When I was a young girl, Grandma Deedee wanted some extra cash, so I became a child actress and was cast as the lead on a little show called…

Teddy: LITTLE MISS SOUTHERN CUPCAKE??

[imagine if Shirley Temple had a crossover with Toddlers and Tiaras]

Amy: 😔 Yes, that’s right. And I loved my time there, eventually the cast became like my real family. That’s why I have such a dramatic flair. Laughtrack

Teddy: so that’s why Grandma Deedee refuses to buy a tv. Laughtrack

Amy: So I’ve been watching the reruns anytime I catch them on because-

Teddy: Because this show aged like milk and was deemed one of the more problematic shows created by Gen Xers according to Buzzfeed? Laughtrack

Amy: Ugh, what am I supposed to do? I was only a little girl, Teddy. I didn’t know what monkeys referred to racially. Laughtrack

Teddy: Don’t worry, mom. I think I have an idea.

Cut to them now downstairs with Teddys camera set up pointed at Amy.

Teddy: Okay, action.

Amy: Hello, TikTok! As some of you may recognize me, I was the lead of the hit show, Little Miss Southern Cupcake- “Twinkle Toes”. Now, I was watching the reruns the other day and realized that show should never have been aired on television. I am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart that anything the character I played could have been harmful to any marinated-

Teddy: (from behind the camera) Marginalized!

Amy: M-Marmalized communities. Laughtrack So with that, peace out and *catchphrase of the mother on Little Miss Southern Cupcake*

Teddy posts the video to TikTok which goes viral. Unfortunately for Mrs. Duncan the internet slams her for not knowing the word marginalized, using the catchphrase of one of the most problematic characters on the show(showing how little research she has done), and for just looking like an anti-vaxxer. End.

None of this would be aired on Disney Channel so I’m happy my brain blessed me with it.

One thing about John Mulaney, he’s gonna put a horse in his Netflix Special.

“There’s a horse loose in the hospital!”

“There’s this thing called Equine Therapy.”

“Fee-ral” is such a feral way to pronounce feral John Mulaney

Ok I’m an English major, right?

Can someone PLEASE explain to my why I just now as a 20 year old was told the difference between critical and rhetorical analysis. I feel like this is something I should have learned in high school.

Critical- going purely off of the text

Rhetorical- not only the text but also knowing about the author’s life, historical context, who the intended audience was, and how I as someone in 2023 have biases for or against the text.

BUT, not only that, I have never written or actively used critical analysis in the classroom before. It has only ever been rhetorical analysis in the sense that my teachers will bring in outside information along with the text for us students to use in our essays and broader discussions.

I would even argue that I’ve never used critical analysis other than when analyzing movies for fun because I’m simply too lazy to search out the broader contexts such as director’s intent, historical context, or maybe missed symbolism. Movies are the only analysis that I will purely go off of what’s shown to me.

And I feel like I’ve heard of critical reading SO much but never critical analysis. Idk it just felt like after todays lecture I’ve missed an important baby step that I missed in high school because of dual-credit courses.

Okay let’s talk about this movie. I love Don’t Worry Darling for what it’s trying to be(and Florence Pugh can do whatever she wants to me). It makes sense the first time you watch it, but then the second time you go in knowing the plot twist (spoilers)- that it’s a simulation and you try to make sense of everything that happens inside the Victory Project with that context. But it kinda falls flat?

Take the gif above for example- why is the egg empty?? It’s a simulation, this makes no sense other than to throw off the audience and tell them directly “something isn’t right here”

My own theory about this is that she went off the script/didn’t follow the recipe/used more eggs than she was supposed to and so the insides to the eggs just weren’t spawned in? Like a video game?

And what was with the red plane that Florence saw?? Like I know that the little boy had a toy one but he was a made up kid that was part of the programming. But it really just feels like a lazy plot device to get our main character to the HQ under the guise of “ooh something’s not quite right here”.

Another thing that really bothered me was Gemma Chan’s character inconsistency. (She did phenomenal this isn’t about her performance purely the writing)

It didn’t make sense to me for her character to be the one to defend The Victory Project and Chris Pine’s character at the dinner AND THEN the next time we see her she murders him??

Unrelated but I also thought she was a robot for a majority of the movie. I thought Chris Pine’s character made her as part of the simulation like how the lady in the glass is also in the sequence seen when entering the simulation. Or the bus driver.

That’s why she taught the wives ballet and had a sexual tension moment with Florence Pugh(wish that was me fr).

And the last thing that bothers me the MOST abt this movie? That Bunny said MEN die irl if they die in simulation. From what we’re shown it would make more sense if the women die- purely because they are so integrated into the simulation that I would believe it more that if they thought they were dying their brains would actually stop functioning. As opposed to the men who physically could not die from having the machines in their eyes and no other physical attachment to the simulation at least from what’s shown.

Also my personal theory is that Bunny and Nick Krolls character were a married couple that couldn’t have kids irl and they BOTH willingly chose to go into the Victory Project. That’s how she knew what was going on. Kinda like Wanda in WandaVision but that’s a whole other can of worms.

I know there’s more but I watched it twice in theaters and haven’t seen it since but I’ll update if i think of anything else. I loved the movie tho 8/10 ⭐️

I made this and then i watched The Glass Onion and

Yeah I’m still in love with him.

I keep watching older rom cons and am now realizing why men I hadn’t found attractive before are so famous for being hot.

I think I just fell in love with Hugh Grant…

Just saw a tiktok about being psychoanalyzed by an autistic friend and one of the comments said,

“Same except i psychoanalyze myself and it does absolutely nothing for me. I am both the scientist and the rat hes experimenting on”

And I just really resonated with that second sentence(resonated with the first sentence too but I’ll touch on another day maybe). It reminds me of

A Burning Hill by Mitski

Something, something the idea that I am actively watching my own destruction, causing the destruction, and being destroyed

all at the same time and they’re different.

I just love the metaphors that can be created with that.

There’s something poetic to be said about my plants nearly dying every time i come back home.

I don’t know what came over me. It was raining and Jack was looking at me like he wanted to say something he knew he shouldn’t. Or maybe he just couldn’t. I don’t know.

What I do know is that it was raining and we were standing in the halo of the porch light looking at each other. I know the looks we exchanged had altered in the past few years. What started out as friendly, questioning glances turned into silent “I love you”s. An unspoken shared agreement that we wouldn’t let anything or anyone come between us and our friendship. I know that when he got the news that he was leaving, it didn’t stop us from sharing that look we knew so well. I know that it was raining because that’s what always happens in movies when the sad part comes. I know we don’t want a sad story. So under the soft yellow glow I turned us into a romance and kissed him.

I don’t know what came over me or what will happen next. But I know that I will forever remember the blush in his cheeks and the angelic smile that met my eyes once we pulled away.

Poets make the worst lovers.

They only know their own feelings and make sure everyone else knows them too.

Prove me wrong, I dare you.

I love how i interact differently with each social platform i have. I don’t want to be famous so they’re not about getting likes anymore.

Tumblr- shouting my thoughts into the void with no one around but the pretty scammer ladies

Tiktok- i like to make videos and pretend I’m famous(but my follower to like ratio hurts my ego(they say if you have a higher like than following you’re funny but higher following you’re attractive))

Instagram- it’s just a digital scrapbook at this point with the explore page too carefully curated so they keep giving me the same memes over and over

Facebook- too many racist relatives so it’s a “thank you for the birthday wishes” app to be used once a year

Reddit- idk how but i actually have a lot of karma? I just like reading the am i the asshole stories

Twitter- i have an account but have only ever used it once to watch a part 2 of a dudes tiktok story time but it ended up just being an advertisement for his OF :(

I never realized until I was old enough to get tattoos how condescending People with Tattoos are to Other People with Tattoos?

I just saw a video of a girl showing off her tattoos(I’ll admit a few sucked but we all have those accidents) and everyone in the comments was just tearing her to shreds for them. Like if she doesn’t wanna get the roses on her arm shaded??? So be it??

Name an unhealthy habit you would indulge if you were a vampire.

I personally would smoke like a chimney. I’ve never smoked before and don’t plan on it anytime soon. But i would smoke SO many cigarettes. NOT vape, we’re going for aesthetic. I’d find surgeons I could trust every century or so to open me up and scrape out the tar from my lungs and call it good.
