Haechan As A Boyfriend

Constant compliments

He is always giving you a compliment. I mean, his nicknames for a are compliments in themselves. But it's not just your appearance he compliments. You breath and he's giving heart eyes like "Wow, I've never seen anyone breath like that. You're amazing, beautiful". And he is always so genuine. He somehow says it in a way where you Have to believe him.

Mild pda that turns into spicy pda

I'm sure we've all seen videos of home touchy he is with his members, so it's only right to assume that'll be amplified for his s/o. It always starts the same, a simple hand on your waist that leads to his head nuzzled between your neck and shoulder, that leads to kisses being pressed up your neck and to your jaw. Keep in mind 9/10 this happens in front of the members. I hope you don't get embarrassed easy.

Loves getting to know more about you

Asks random questions at two in the morning when neither of you can sleep. "So what's your favorite flower" "what's your dream vacation" "tell me your top five favorite disney princesses" Gets upset if Rapunzel and Jasmine aren't in the lineup. Surprisingly, the stuff you sleepily mumble at 2am is remembered and put to use at your next date. "Remember last week when you said this was your favorite food? Here"

Lives to make you laugh

He's a jokester. Gets joy from seeing you smile because of him. Not gonna lie, the only time he'd ever really get jealous is if someone made you laugh harder than him. Every opportunity he has to make you laugh, he takes it. Has absolutely no shame, nor embarrassment when it comes to what he'll do to make you laugh. Even the tiniest snort does it for him.

"You're the only one for me, gorgeous"

He's not the best at realizing when you're feeling jealous or insecure, but when he does finally pick up on the cues, he's actually really good at. He's the type to shut the situation down by just walking away from whatever is making you feel that way. "Talk to me, pretty. What's wrong?" "There's no one I'd rather tell my corny jokes than you." And when he says that, what else is there to do other than believe him.

Relaxing together

Loves going out on dates with you. But loves relaxing in sweatpants with you even more. The man has a busy schedule, so staying in bed all day and only getting up to shower and eat, and occasionally play a video game while you watch, sounds like a perfect day to you. Will one hundred percent sit you beside him and try to narrate everything that's going on while you share one large blanket.

Somehow always knows what you want to order

I said earlier he knows all your favorite foods, so when you go somewhere and he looks at the menu he automatically knows what you'll get. Orders for an army when he sees there are multiple dishes that you like. "Haechan we can't eat all this" "That's what leftovers are for" Plays a game with himself to see if he can guess what you'll order before you can. You start to pick on the game when he smirking at you from across the table after you tell the waiter your order.

Makes playlists with you in mind

I do not want to be a broken record, but he's obsessed with you. As he should be. You're on his mind twenty-four seven. Hears a song while he’s out and he's immediately reminded you. From love songs to club song he's thinking of you. He's a bit shy when it comes sharing these playlists with you. His favorite thing is naming the playlists. "Because y/n fell down the stairs earlier" "songs that remind me of y/ns bad cooking" and your favorite "when i miss y/n"

I have another Disney movie idea that’ll just never happen;

Y’know Rise of the Brave Tangled Frozen Dragons? I have something similar, but it’s exclusively Disney properties. Basically, take the ending premise of Wish, where Asha becomes like the Fairy Godmother, but use that as a jumping off point to make a crossover story where Asha must gather “Heroes of the Realm” like she’s Nick Fury and it’s 2012 Avengers time. Bring together the heroes from Raya and the Last Dragon, Moana, Tangled (and Tangled the Series), and Frozen (maybe also Brave if Disney wants to add a Pixar property to this lineup like they did with the princess room in Wreck it Ralph 2). Have them all come together for a musical action adventure comedy to fight some cosmic evil or something I dunno, I just really desperately want to hear Ariana DeBose singing with Idina Menzel, Mandy Moore with Kristen Bell, I want to see an expansion on the romantic tension between Raya and Namaari, I want to have Moana show Rapunzel the Sun drop flower that’s on her island (seen in a blink and you’ll miss it Easter egg but that’s still canon). And I want to give the premise of Wish another chance, because we were robbed. We’ve all seen the concept art and original ideas for the movie, the stuff Disney didn’t end up going with. It could’ve been great, and now that it’s a flop Disney won’t wanna touch it because in terms of money making it’s a dud, and that’s all Disney seems to care about nowadays.

Honestly I prefer halle bailey’s ariel over OG ariel in terms of design. her dress looks better, the braids look better, and I’m digging her bandana. Even in mermaid form the dark skin + more detailed tail + shimmery top that isn’t a seashell bra all look better. Disney should just use bailey’s Ariel in all the princess lineup art now, there’s still a ton of other white princesses so it’s not like we’d be missing anything 🤣

FACTS

Like, just Halle's tail alone! The detail and design! Love it!

“Stay right there, Fena. I'll protect you. If anyone so much as lays a finger on you, I'll show no mercy.”

- Yukimaru, Fena: Pirate Princess (Ep. 07)

The Toonami Trending Rundown for September 18-19, 2021. As summer comes to an end, things are heating up as we’re past the halfway point for Fena: Pirate Princess, while My Hero Academia begins the “My Villain Academia” arc, among other great moments.

On Twitter, #Toonami trended in the United States on Twitter alongside Adult Swim and five of the block’s eight shows: Fena Pirate Princess, My Hero Academia, Yashahime, Food Wars, and Black Clover. Fena’s buzz also led to a character trending for the first time with Yukimaru, as he chased after Abel to rescue Fena from him. Meanwhile on Tumblr, #Toonami also trended. The full list, including statistics and tweet counts from the Twitter app, can be seen below.

This week’s feature was a video game review of ALBA: A Wildlife Adventure. It received an 8.0 out of 10 score.

youtube

An hour before Toonami’s broadcast, Adult Swim aired an episode of Family Guy for the final time as the show’s cable and streaming rights were transferred to Disney-owned networks and streaming platforms due in part to the Disney-FOX merger. Following the broadcast, TOM and SARA joined characters from Adult Swim’s original programming in a bumper waving farewell to the program. Despite that Family Guy’s critical acclaim among long-time fans has dropped in recent years, alongside concerns that the block was becoming too over-reliant on the show for ratings and filling timeslots, watching Adult Swim help revive the show played a tremendous role on shaping what the network is today, and I think I can speak for many of Adult Swim and Cartoon Network’s viewers that things won’t be the same without the Griffins on the lineup. Thanks for the memories.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Lupin the 3rd Franchise, Sentai Filmworks and TMS Entertainment will be hosting a limited theatrical run featuring the dub premiere of Lupin the Third Part 1, Episode 1, alongside the first two subtitled episodes of Lupin the Third Part 6. This theatrical event will take place in select theaters from October 22-28, 2021. If you’re interested, click here to check out a list of viewings near your area.

Ufotable and Aniplex has announced today that Demon Slayer's second season will begin on October 10 with a 7 Episode TV recap of Mugen Train, before beginning the highly anticipated Entertainment District Arc on December 5th. Both Crunchyroll and Funimation have announced that they will simulcast the new season, as they have done with the previous one. It has yet to be announced if and when Toonami will renew the series once the dub is ready, but this is potentially good news for those worried about Toonami viewers getting shut out from the Mugen Trainstoryline when/if Demon Slayer returns. If you missed it, I previously discussed this looming problem in further detail in my editorial: “Is Toonami’s “No Movies” Policy Coming Back to Haunt Its Viewers?” Of course, Toonami fans may not be completely out of the woods yet in this regard, given that the first installment of Sword Art Online: Progressive, titled Aria of a Starless Night will be a feature film. If you remember back in 2018, Toonami deferred from airing Sword Art Online: Oridinal Scale when the show returned for Project Alicizaiton, which unfortunately had ramifications in the long run as Ordinal Scale introduced elements and plot lines to the storyline that ultimately left Toonami fans completely out of the loop. Depending on what Reki Kawahara, A1 Pictures, and Aniplex’s long-term plans are for Progressive, Toonami viewers could potentially be in for a rude awakening if Progressive has a similar plan to what was done with Ordinal Scale, rather the “Dragon Ball Super-esque” route Demon Slayer has taken regarding Mugen Train.

Following the season finale of My Hero Academia in Japan, it has been announced that there a sixth season of the My Hero Academia franchise is already in production. Toonami aired Episode 108 (Episode 20 of Season 5) this past Saturday, so starting tonight, we have five more episodes left before Toonami viewers reach that point.

Finally, Production IG released a new key visual for Fena: Pirate Princess, to coincide with the Japanese premiere of the show on October 2nd. You can check it out below.

Until next week, stay safe, be sure to visit blacklivesmatters.carrd.co and anti-asianviolenceresources.carrd.co to see what you can do to help the fight against racial inequality, and continue to do your part to stop the spread of COVID-19 and protect others by following your local health advisories. Get fully vaccinated if you are able to, wear a mask in public and practice social distancing by staying six feet/two meters away from one another, if possible, and wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds.

round up // JULY 21

‘Tis the season to beat the heat at the always-cold theatres and next to fans set at turbo speed. While my movie watching slowed a bit with the launch of the Summer Olympics on July 23rd, I’ve still got plenty of popcorn-ready and artsy recommendations for you. A few themes in the new-to-me pop culture I’m recommending this month:

Casts oozing with embarrassing levels of talent (sometimes overqualified for the movies they’re in)

Pop culture that is responding or reinterpreting past pop culture

Stories that get weEeEeird

Keep on-a-scrollin’ to see which is which!

July Crowd-Pleasers

1. Double Feature – ‘90s Rom-Coms feat. Lots of Lies: Mystery Date (1991) + The Pallbearer (1996)

In Mystery Date (Crowd: 7.5/10 // Critic: 6/10), Ethan Hawke and Teri Polo get set up on a blind date that gets so bizarre and crime-y I’m not sure how this didn’t come out in the ‘80s. In The Pallbearer (Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 7/10), David Schwimmer and Gwyneth Paltrow try to combine The Graduate with Four Weddings and a Funeral in a story about lost twentysomethings. If you don’t like rom-coms in which circumstances depend on lots of lies and misunderstandings, these won’t be your jam, but if you’re like me and don’t mind these somewhat-cliché devices, you’ll be hooked by likeable casts and plenty of rom and com.

2. The Tomorrow War (2021)

I thought of no fewer movies than this list while watching: Alien, Aliens, Angel Has Fallen, Cloverfield, Interstellar, Kong: Skull Island, Prometheus, A Quiet Place: Part II, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith, The Silence of the Lambs, The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and World War Z. And you know what? I like all those movies! (Okay, maybe I just have a healthy respect/fear of The Silence of the Lambs.) The Tomorrow War may not be original, but it borrows some of the best tropes and beats from the sci-fi and action genres, so much so I wish I could’ve seen Chris Pratt and Co. fight those gross monsters on a big screen. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 6/10

3. Dream a Little Dream (1989)

My July pick for the Dumb Rom-Com I Nevertheless Enjoyed! I CANNOT explain the mechanics of this body switch comedy to you—nor can the back of the DVD case above—but, boy, what an ‘80s MOOD. I did not know I needed to see a choreographed dance routine starring Jason Robards and Corey Feldman, but I DID. All I know is some movies are made for me and that I’m now a card-carrying member of the Two Coreys fan club. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 6.5/10

4. Black Widow (2021)

The braids! The Pugh! Black Widow worked for me both as an exciting action adventure and as a respite from the Marvel adventures dependent on a long memory of the franchise. (Well, mostly—keep reading for a second MCU rec much more dependent on the gobs of previous releases.) Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 7.5/10

5. Liar Liar (1997)

Guys, Jim Carrey is hilarious. That’s it—that’s the review. Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 7/10

youtube

6. Sob Rock by John Mayer (2021)

It’s very possible I’ve already listened to this record more than all other John Mayer records. It doesn’t surpass the capital-G Greatness of Continuum, but it’s a little bit of old school Mayer, a little bit ‘80s soft rock/pop, and I’ve had it on repeat most of the two weeks since it’s been out. Featuring the boppiest bop that ever bopped, at least one lyrical gem in every track, and an ad campaign focused on Walkmans, this record skirts the line between Crowd faves and Critic-worthy musicianship.

7. Double Feature – ‘00s Ben Affleck Political Thrillers: The Sum of All Fears (2002) + State of Play (2009)

In The Sum of All Fears (Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 7.5/10), Ben Affleck is Jack Ryan caught up in yet another international incident. In State of Play (Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 7/10), he’s a hotshot Congressman caught up in a scandal. Both are full of plot twists and unexpected turns, and in both, Affleck is accompanied by actors you’re always happy to see, like Jason Bateman, James Cromwell, Russell Crowe, Jeff Daniels, Viola Davis, Morgan Freeman, Philip Baker Hall, David Harbour, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren, Liev Schreiber, and Robin Wright—yes, I swear all of those people are in just those two movies.

8. Loki (2021-)

Unlike Black Widow, you can’t go into Loki with no MCU experience. The show finds clever ways to nudge us with reminders (and did better at it than Falcon and the Winter Soldier), but be forewarned that at some point, you’re just going to have to let go and accept wherever this timeline-hopper is taking you. An ever-charismatic cast keeps us grounded (Owen Wilson, Jonathan Majors, and an alligator almost steal the show from Tom Hiddleston in some eps), but while Falcon lasted an episode or two too long, Loki could’ve used a few more to flesh out its complicated plot and develop its characters. Thankfully, the jokes matter almost as much as the sci-fi, so you can still have fun even if you have no idea what’s going on.

9. Double Feature – Bruce Willis: Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995) + The Whole Nine Yards (2000)

Before Bruce Willis began starring in many random direct-to-DVD movies I only ever hear about in my Redbox emails, he was a Movie Star smirking his way up the box office charts. In the third Die Hard (Crowd: 10/10 // Critic: 7.5/10), he teams up with Samuel L. Jackson to decipher the riddles of a terrorist madman (Jeremy Irons), and it’s a thrill ride. In The Whole Nine Yards (Crowd: 9/10 // Critic: 8/10), he’s hitman that screws up dentist Matthew Perry’s boring life in Canada, and—aside from one frustrating scene of let’s-objectify-women-style nudity—it’s hilarious.

10. This Is the End (2013)

On paper, this is not a movie for me. An irreverent stoner comedy about a bunch of bros partying it up before the end of the world? None of things are for Taylors. But with a little help of a TV edit to pare down the raunchy and crude bits, I laughed my way through and spent the next several days thinking through its exploration of what makes a good person. While little of the plot is accurate to Christian Gospel and theology, some of its big ideas are consistent enough with the themes of the book of Revelation I found myself thinking about it again in church this morning. (Would love to know if Seth Rogen ever expected that.) Plus, I love a good self-aware celebrity spoof—can’t tell you how many times I’ve just laughed remembering the line, “It’s me, Jonah Hill, from Moneyball”—and an homage to horror classics. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 7/10

July Critic Picks

1. Summer of Soul (…or, When the Television Could Not Be Televised) (2021)

Even director Questlove didn’t know about the Harlem Cultural Festival, but now he’s compiled the footage so we can all enjoy one of the coolest music fest lineups ever, including The 5th Dimension, B.B. King, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Nina Simone, Sly and the Family Stone, and Stevie Wonder, who made my friend’s baby dance more than once in the womb. See it on the big screen for top-notch audio. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 9/10

2. Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)

Robin Williams takes on the bureaucracy, disillusionment, and malaise of the Vietnam War with comedy. Williams was a one-of-a-kind talent, and here it’s on display at a level on par with Aladdin. Crowd: 8/10 // Critic: 9/10

3. Against the Rules Season 2 (2020-21)

Michael Lewis (author of Moneyball, adapted into a film starring Jonah Hill), is interested in how we talk about fairness. This season he looks at how coaches impact fairness in areas like college admissions, credit cards, and youth sports.

4. Bugsy Malone (1976)

A gangster musical starring only children? It’s a little like someone just picked ideas out of a hat, but somehow it works. You can hear why in the Bugsy Malone episode Kyla and I released this month on SO IT’S A SHOW?, plus how this weird artifact of a film connects with Gilmore Girls.

5. The Queen (2006)

Before The Crown, Peter Morgan wrote The Queen, focusing on Queen Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren) in the days following the death of Princess Diana. It’s a complex and compassionate drama, both for the Queen and for Prime Minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen, who has snuck up on me to become a favorite character actor). Maybe I’ve got a problem, but I’ll never tire of the analysis of this famous family. Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 9.5/10

6. The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972)

This month at ZekeFilm, we took a closer look at Revisionist Westerns we’ve missed. I fell hard for Roy Bean, and I think you will, too, if for no other reason than you might like a story starring Jacqueline Bisset, Ava Gardner, John Huston, Paul Newman, and Anthony Perkins. Oh, and a bear! Crowd: 8.5/10 // Critic: 10/10

youtube

7. New Trailer Round Up

Naked Singularity (Aug. 6) – John Boyega in a crime thriller!

Queenpins (Aug. 10) – A crime comedy about extreme coupon-ing!

Dune (Oct. 1) – I’ve been cooler on the anticipation for this film, but this new look has me cautiously intrigued thanks to the Bardem + Bautista + Brolin + Chalamet + Ferguson + Isaac + Momoa + Zendaya of it all.

The Last Duel (Oct. 15) – Affleck! Damon! Driver!

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (Nov. 11) - I’m not sure why we need this, but I’m down for the Paul Rudd + Finn Wolfhard combo

King Richard (Nov. 19) - Will Smith as Venus and Serena’s father!

Encanto (Nov. 24) – Disney and Lin-Manuel Miranda making more magic together!

House of Gucci (Nov. 24) - Gaga! Pacino! Driver!

Also in July…

Kyla and I took a look at the classic supernatural soap Dark Shadows and why Sookie might be obsessed with it on Gilmore Girls.

I revisited a so-bad-it’s-good masterpiece that’s a surrealist dream even Fellini couldn’t have cooked up. Yes, for ZekeFilm I wrote about the Vanilla Ice movie, Cool as Ice, which is now a part of my Blu-ray collection.

Top ten princesses!

*rubs hands together* Alright, let’s rank us some Disney princesses. Technically there’s only four others who aren’t gonna make the cut buuuut they’re the four I don’t really like XD

10: Pocahontas (Pocahontas)

With Pocahontas, you can very clearly see the behind the scenes "self-consciousness" of the filmmakers baked into her character writing. Pocahontas was Disney's big attempt at Oscar gold, trying to tell a Big Important portentous story while also grappling with trying to make Pocahontas as inoffensive as possible. The result is a character who is kind and likable enough, but also kind of wooden. The historical accuracy value is practically nil, and Pocahontas as a character and a movie comes off worse and worse with the passage of time. All that being said, I think Disney did the very best job they could with Pocahontas given the situation she emerged in. They created a character who is likable, free-spirited, a strong believer in justice and unity, and a character who leads with empathy and courage at the forefront. If nothing else, Pocahontas is a strong role model for little girls to look up to, and her love story with John Smith is one of Disney's most mature love stories as well, so there's plenty for older fans to enjoy as well.

9: Mulan (Mulan)

Mulan is counted as a Disney princess because they don't have any other Asian princesses and they wanted a more diverse lineup. That's the reason. Y'all can stop pretending not to know now. But with that strange categorizing, Mulan is weird fixture of the princess lineup any way you look at her. Mulan, for me, both as a princess and a movie, has always been just kind of there. A lot of people passionately love it, and I get that completely. A lot of people tear it apart, and I get that too. Mulan is a great girl power character, and her resourcefulness and cleverness being her defining trait is excellent. Her internal turmoil over her identity is perhaps more poignant here than with any other princess, and Reflection still stands as one of the greatest Disney songs ever written. That said, Mulan's defining character flaw being clumsiness and awkwardness and this being why she has such internal turmoil about fitting in just makes her come off as a bit hollow to me, and I feel like there was a better route to take her. After how surprisingly good an LGBT take on her worked over in Once Upon a Time and how much better that informed her feeling like an outsider, it just made the animated version come off as weaker on the internal side to me. Good character overall, though, and I do really like Mulan.

8: Moana (Moana)

Moana has a similar situation to Mulan where she's not really a princess but she gets shoehorned into the princess mold because they have nowhere else to put her. She and Mulan are Disney heroes, and they have different expectations for that reason. All that being said, Moana is easily the best of the Revival era CGI princesses. For one thing, while she has a bit of the Revival trend of modernizing the princesses too much, they don't make her overly adorkable to make her relatable (... “overly” being the key word; she’s not exempt). On the contrary, Moana is written very much like a person. We see Moana grapple with the weight of duty both to her people and to the world as a whole. Her story is one of trying figure out whether it is better to chase the unknown or to follow the tried and true. And I like that. I also really appreciate how Moana wins the final battle with empathy for the monster, and that's what makes her unique. The whole "Know Who You Are" musical number is legitimately one of the most powerful moments ever put into a Disney film too. My biggest issue with her actually comes from Maui whose constant meta quips and spotlight stealing tends to undermine Moana's character a lot and takes away from some of her moments that I wish hit harder than they do.

7: Jasmine (Aladdin)

Jasmine is the only princess in the lineup who is not the main character of her movie. On the contrary, she's the love interest of the main character and more of a supporting player in her film. She doesn't even get a solo, something every other princess, save Merida who isn't in a musical, gets. As a result of this, Jasmine isn't really as strong in her own right as several of the other princesses. But she's still awesome. She has a strong internal life and vibrancy, and the way her character revolves around a longing for freedom and the way that compares to Aladdin and the Genie makes her really come alive and work well within the context of the film. She's also clever, resourceful, a self proclaimed fast-learner, and someone who never allows her voice to be silenced. Yet even with all her strength, she's allowed tender moments of kindness and gentleness to show that there's another side to her. Also the TV series and sequels expanded on her character in a wonderful way.

6: Tiana (The Princess and the Frog)

Okay, yes, Disney's first black princess being a frog for more than half the movie was a bad creative decision on their part that wasn't a good look. But for Disney's first black princess, considering the company's history with race issues in particular and how self-conscious a lot of their princesses of color have come off, I think a lot of people underestimate just how good Tiana is. Tiana is vibrant and full of personality without every coming off as a stereotype or as anything less than dignified and admirable. She's hard worker, but she never comes off to me as trying to be "look how much better I am than the other princesses." She lets her actions and her character speak for themselves. I like that her arc is actually about finding a healthy balance between storybook love and wishing and hard work and determination. She's a woman with ambition, but she also learns to make time for a bit of fairytale fantasy and the things that really count like love and friendship. Also, just major props to Anika Noni Rose for making Tiana so damn likable and fun to follow.

5: Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

And now that we're in the top five, we start getting into the classics. Aurora gets an unfair reputation as a basic boring princess who needs a man to save her and has no value of her own. But with Sleeping Beauty being an adaptation of ballet in particular, that's really missing the forest for the trees. Sleeping Beauty was envisioned by Walt as the pinnacle of animation, an animated film that would stand tall in an art gallery, and you can see that very much at play in Aurora. From Marc Davis's absolutely stunning animation on her to Mary Costa's beautiful vocal work in blending with the musical stylings of Tchaikovsky, Aurora is, more than any other princess in the Disney lineup, a piece of high art. She's written deceptively simply to allow for the animation and the music to convey the brunt of her character. And, when you get right down to it, Aurora is, like art, designed around the emotions of the piece more than specific character quirks. Yet the essence of her kindness, of her grace, and of her sly looks and shrewd coyness is all right there in the character. She also pretty perfectly encapsulates the emotions and feelings of young love, and I think there's a lot of value in that portrayal as well.

4: Ariel (The Little Mermaid)

I used to give Ariel a hard time in the recent past, and I fully regret allowing certain sects of discourse to color my view of her. Ariel is an amazing character, and an excellent princess. One of the things that has struck me, revisiting the movie as a gay adult, is just how queer of a story Ariel's is. Hans Christian Anderson wrote the original in response to male lover of his, openly gay Howard Ashman was a major creative driving force behind the story, and openly gay animator Andreas Deja brought to life the visceral Grotto scene based on his falling out with his own father. There's queerness baked into the fabric of this film, and it shows itself clearly with the narrative of a princess who is unhappy with her home life and has a forbidden love that she must hide away from her own family and then must undergo the process of evolving into the version of herself that she wants to be in order to satisfy the love within herself. She gets dismissed as being just a rebellious teenager, but there's so much more to her than that and she hits home to so many people for that reason. Also, Jodi Benson's incredible voice work and the writing for her makes Ariel constantly a vibrant and interesting character who I feel like we get to know better and more intimately than almost any other princess.

3: Cinderella (Cinderella)

Though, much like Aurora and Ariel, Cinderella gets an unfair reputation as weak and needing a man, that couldn't be further from the truth. Cinderella is an abuse survivor who keeps her dreams, optimism, and kindness alive even in the face of crippling despair and misery. She's a woman who fought a daily battle just for the right to keep existing, and while the Fairy Godmother gave her magical assistance, Cinderella earned her happy ending herself. I just have to admire how she embodies patience and kindness while also still being strong in her own way. She's not a masculine warrior action figure; she's very feminine. Yet she finds strength in her femininity without relying on sex, and I just think that's wonderful. I also really love how much personality and humanity they filled Cinderella with without going overboard or making her into a parody of herself. Cinderella maintains the grace, poise, and beauty of a princess all while having so many little quirks and traits that make her feel like a real woman. Also, it must be said, Cinderella III is still the best Disney sequel, and I love how it expands upon her and gives her new opportunities to prove herself all while maintaining the core kindness and strength of her character.

2: Snow White (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)

The one that started it all and still a radiant joy of beauty and kindness, Snow White is everything a princess should be. Like Cinderella, Snow White shows that you can survive abusive situations with your positivity in tact. In fact, Snow White goes one step further. She shows that "there's no use in grumbling when raindrops come tumbling; remember you're the one who can fill the world with sunshine." She's a beacon of hope and positivity who shows that compassion and kindness are the true virtues that deserve to be held as the most precious. She also shows the importance of found family and finding a loving support system that is right for you even if that's not your actual family members. In addition to all that, Snow White is great for being full of personality and having a vibrancy to her. She meets the dwarfs and immediately begins to take charge and to hold them to the standards she expects. She's never afraid to make her voice or opinion heard, and she's also got a playful teasing side to her that shines through. While her film is a heightened reality, she still has a core realness to her that makes her plight and her adventure feel all the more immersive for a viewer.

1: Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

But my favorite princess is always plain to see. While I love many of the other princesses, none quite hit that same sweet spot for me that Belle does. Belle is an outcast. She's a well read and intelligent woman more concerned with books and ideas of adventure than she is with the types of things she's expected to be concerned with by her small town. According to the townsfolk, she should be only concerned with getting married to a handsome man and being his doting little wife. However, Belle has absolutely no interest in taking part in any of that nonsense, and because of that, the people of her hometown write her off as odd or crazy. Many of us have been in a similar situation and felt excluded from society because we were somehow "not normal." Whether it was for our sexualities, our weight, our skin color, our religious beliefs, our over abundant love of comic books, or what have you, many people out there feel alone and ostracized. Yet Belle is that shining beacon of someone who lives her authentic life no matter what the world around her thinks, and that can give courage to others who relate to those feelings. Belle inspires the Beast to change to be better for her, not because she can break a spell, but because she sees the true beauty inside of him that no one else ever had. Some of my favorite types of heroes are those individuals who see the good inside of everyone. Those who give everyone a fair chance, especially to those who were never given a chance by anyone before, are the type of heroes we need more of in real life. No she can't fight off villains or complete daring feats of physical prowess, but she doesn't have to do those things to make a difference. She can save an entire castle by goodness and compassion alone. Paige O'Hara really does a fantastic job filling Belle with personality as well. I love that her voice work conveys confidence and strength, but also has moments of gentleness and vulnerability. She's allowed to have a range of emotions and certain spunk that is nothing short of endearing. Special mention must go to how excited and energized O'Hara plays Belle as getting when she talks about her books and stories. You really get the sense that reading is Belle's passion, not just something she enjoys. There's a real sense that Belle experiences the world around her fully and vigorously, and that adds to the charm of her character that makes her, for me, the most likable and best of the Disney princesses.

10 Faves in 10 Fandoms

tagged by the awesome @gosalynmallardlockdown

i legit don’t know if i’m in 10 fandoms lol

1. John Doe from Telltale’s Batman: the Enemy Within. John is my fav fictional character ever. I draw him too much and I have a poster and mouse pad of one of my drawings of him. i don’t think i’ll ever stop drawing or writing for him. BTEW is also what got me into batjokes, dc, and the Joker. and clowns 🤡

2. Tony Stark/Iron Man in the MCU. Iron man 2 was the first marvel movie i had ever seen, and legit, he is the love of my life. i have an iron man shrine and a life-size decal of him. i have so much merch of him and i went to avengers: endgame dressed as him with props, like his mask and repulsor blaster. iron man 1 through 3 are fantastic and just *chefs kiss*

3. Kory Anders/Koriand’r in Titans. I haven’t finished season 2 of titans yet, but season 1 is AWESOME. legit loved it from the beginning and i was hype as soon as i saw the trailer. it gave me so much i had ever wanted and i would die for Miss Anders. kory is so fantastic and beautiful and i just. i wish i could be her. i started wearing high heel boots because of her. QUEEN

4. Perry the Platypus from Phineas and Ferb. so I grew up w pnf and from the beginning, perry was my fav character, though i love everyone. i didn’t really become obsessed with the show until after it ended. i would come home from school and there’d always be reruns, so i would watch it every day. then i binged it on netflix and just. i’ve seen every ep several times, both movies, the live show (on youtube), pnf take two, doof’s daily dirt. yeah. everything.

5. Theron Shan in Star Wars: The Old Republic. it’s hard to pic a fav in this game since i typically love my ocs more, but theron is just awesome. he’s a wreck, constantly fails, is adorable, and is voiced by my fav voice actor, Troy Baker. i legit made my agent exclusively to romance theron. he’s my boy

6. Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age: Inquisition. showstopping. beautiful. breathtaking. spectacular. i just love him. the first time i played dai, i was a lady qunari romancing iron bull and i thought dorian was just okay. then i did his companion quest and i just. omfg fell in love. so i romanced him with a lavellan. pavellan for life!

7. Princess Tiana from Princess and the Frog. it’s hard for me to decide my fav disney princess , but i’m pretty sure it’s tiana. She’s hardworking, wonderful, i just love her. i also think it’s interesting that her arc is learning to enjoy life and not overwork herself, which isn’t really an arc i see in a lot of female characters, especially in the princess lineup. also, i hate disney for how they treated her. you can tell disney didn’t really care about her or her movie, making it 2D, hiring randy newman to make the songs, and marketing it terribly. it’s a shame since Tiana is such a wonderful character! <3

8. Alex Mercer from [PROTOTYPE]. so this game is amazing and it’s legit a part of my personality. i played it first when i was little, then my copy of the game broke. it wasn’t until i saw Venom in theatres did it like make me remember how much i loved the game. so i had to buy it again lol Alex is fantastic and i need a movie of the game. i’m going to write a script. i need it. alex will be played by rami malek XD

9. Katsa from Graceling. my fav book and fav protagonist. katsa is wonderful and deeply flawed. she’s my fav character in the book series and graceling is my fav of the 3 books. she’s really unique as a character, a female character, and a YA protagonist. fingers crossed for Winter Keep!

10. Eddie Brock in Venom. i just rewatched venom recently and it made me realize how much eddie is just the opposite of these toxic-masculinity male protagonists. eddie is kind, sensitive, a loser, flawed but also a good person. he just makes me happy. im so excited for V:LTBC!!!

there are other characters not in specific fandoms like batgirl or harley quinn, but i didn’t know where to put them lol

tagging! @chokit-pyrus @the-sith-in-the-sky-with-diamond @it-runs-in-the-fandom @friedpotstickers and whoever idk

DON'T FORGET MY BOY MILO TATCH FOR SUBBY PRINCE (subby king? He got married to Kida and she was the queen of Atlantis after all) not to mention Tom Holland himself said he'd love to play Milo. He's a cutie and i am still bitter that Kida isn't in the disney princesses lineup cause they deemed Atlantis not successful enough

we talked a lot about sub!milo last year, he’s caro-approved. atlantis was robbed times ten, if i were rich i’d pay half a fortune to make this happen.

of course with miss zendaya 💓

k so before i hop in the shower. with the new princesses of heart in kh, we have four confirmed:

kairi again

rapunzel

elsa

anna

now we can just like. ASSUME that they’ll add moana and make her a princess of heart. that’s like a 99.999999% chance. also she already had a medal and costume in ux so yeah that’s happening. that’s 5!

we can also assume they’re gonna add tiana. cause why the fuck would they not??? that’s 6

we still got mèrida as an official DP but i like. don’t think she fits the vibe?? i feel like she’d be more like ariel, in the lineup but not a princess of heart or w/e

so we’re still missing one. here’s my thoughts on who could be princess of heart #7 in order of how fucking hilarious it would be

Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) – we’ve already seen her several times but now she has a promotion

Esmeralda (Hunchback of Notre Dame) – same reasoning as Sally

Kida Nedakh (Atlantis) – please

Giselle (Enchanted) – hyperrealistic amy adams

Mirabel Madrigal (Encanto) – she’s like “okay so like. i’m a special princess??” “yeah, i know it’s a lot to take in–” “and it’s NOT isabela?????” “...no?” “oh i am gonna rub this in her face forEVER”

alternate: it’s not mirabel OR isabela it’s luisa or dolores. just throw people off

Elena of Avalor – imagine them making a disney junior show canon

Raya (Raya and the Last Dragon) – she is literally the princess of a kingdom called Heart like come on

Sisu (Raya and the Last Dragon) – would track with the “pure of heart” thing ig. also imagine them just saying the comic relief is now the princess of heart

Namaari (Raya and the Last Dragon) – the princess of a kingdom that is NOT heart but also she has a big gay crush on the heart princess this would give her so many crises

Maid Marian (Robin Hood) – furry world

Roxanne – furry world AND we have to do an entire goofy movie plot

Naminé or Xion – would make me cry

Wendy (Peter Pan) – she’s finally one of the chosen ones

Jane (Peter Pan) – grabbed the wrong darling girl, hook, can you believe

Lilo or Nani (Lilo & Stitch) – whichever sister it would be it would be really funny to see how stressed nani gets over it

Kiara (The Lion King) – 1) from a direct-to-video sequel, 2) a fucking lion

Melody (The Little Mermaid) – ariel’s not a princess of heart but her daughter is

Gabriela (The Little Mermaid) – ariel’s not a princess of heart but this one-off breakout character from the tv show is

Boo (Monsters Inc) – she is literally two fucking years old

Penny (The Rescuers) – just this random baby from an obscure disney movie. jenny from oliver and company is also acceptable

Mei Lee (Turning Red) – the princesses of heart are all actual royalty except for this 13yo canadian girl from 2002 who can turn into a panda when she’s mad

Eilonwy (The Black Cauldron) – disney refuses to acknowledge this movie’s existence but then they put it in kingdom hearts and make it relevant to the story

Ortensia – imagine they finally get oswald into the main story and it’s bc his wife has magic heart powers and heartless wont leave them alone

Anastasia – disney finally delivers the killing blow on the “anastasia is not disney” crowd. sorry guys we bought 20th century fox she’s ours now lol

Sofia the First – come on. tell me it wouldnt be funny. come on

Jessica Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit) – it would make so many people mad

#kingdom hearts #mine

I hate that one string of notes where somebody pointed out Elsa and Anna could have been black (& this was before frozen 2, when the first movie came out in theaters but was very popular) and of course a bunch of racists came out of the woodwork to have a hissy fit. But one of the other points brought up is that most of the Disney Princess lineup is still white and so adding more princesses of color would hurt literally nobody.

But the thing I mostly hate about that is that the most reblogged version of that dumb thread is where some weirdo goes through all the disney princesses remarking on how "diverse" it is & misses the point entirely that the lineup at the time still consisted of 70% white women, and that 2 of the 4 disney princesses of color were oversexualized (& negatively represented) teenagers. But everyone is the notes was acting like ppl were overreacting & being racist for pointing out racism? 🙄

Disney Plus: Opening the Vault

In less than two months, the new Disney Plus streaming service will become available. With other services like Netflix, Hulu and HBO, is Disney Plus worth spending your hard-earned money? Let’s take a look at the details.

Disney Plus is $7 per month or $70 per year. This is distinctly cheaper than its primary competitor, Netflix. As a caveat, this is only the initial price. As more content is added over the years, the price for Disney Plus could go up.

Disney Plus will be available on iOS, Apple TV, Android, Android TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, Playstation 4, and Xbox One. It will allow seven profiles, which means different members of your family can personalize their selections.

Disney Plus includes contents from the Walt Disney Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Disney Channel, Disney XD, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographics, ABC Family, Disney Junior, and Fox. This will focus on family-friendly content, while Hulu (which Disney now owns) will stream Disney’s more grown-up content (such as Deadpool).

If you’re looking for movies released in 2019, you won’t find them on Netflix. Disney will be the exclusive source for streaming movies such as Lion King, Toy Story 4, and Avengers Endgame.

Because Disney now owns National Geographics and Fox, we’ll also see movies and shows on Disney Plus that aren’t what you’d typically expect to find. Movies such as “Princess Bride” and “Sound of Music.” Shows such as “Brain Games” and “The Simpsons.”

Rather than try to list everything here, I’ll share five things (in no particular order) that I’m really looking forward to seeing on this app:

1. New Marvel and Star Wars shows. In the world of Star Wars, “The Mandalorian” will follow a bounty hunter after the events of “Return of the Jedi.” Ewan McGreggor will also reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi for a series. In the world of Marvel, we’ll see shows featuring Loki, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and many others. Previous shows such as “Agents of Shield” and “Daredevil” technically exist in the same universe as the films, but the characters don’t cross over. However, these new shows will directly connect to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, majority of the lineup for Phase 4 are these shows exclusive on Disney Plus. Missing them means you might have gaps in the storylines going into Phase 5.

2. New documentaries. We’ll get a new documentary series on Marvel, which will explore the cultural and historical contexts of their stories. We’ll also get a series on the making of Frozen 2. I’m looking forward to seeing “Imagineering Story,” which is a series looking at people involved with the creation and evolution of Disney parks.

3. “The World According to Jeff Goldblum.” Jeff Goldblum is one of the most curious people out there, and in this new series, he’ll look at everyday things we love...and explore the science, history, and people sides. Things aren’t always as they seem.

4. Reliving my childhood. Fans of the iconic Disney Afternoon will be thrilled to find shows like Duck Tales and Goof Troop on Disney Plus. It’s also confirmed that all 30 seasons of “The Simpsons” will be available. I’ve grown up with “The Simpsons,” and I agree with those who list the early to mid-nineties as the golden age of the show. I’m really excited to revisiting many of the episodes from that era.

5. Duck Tales 2017. The first season of the rebooted series will also be available. This is particularly exciting because I’ve been waiting two years for a chance to see the show. Their pilot episode was very impressive, and the few scattered pieces I’ve seen confirms that this show is highly thoughtful with well-developed characters. It’s designed just as much for us who grew up on the classic show as it is for the new generation.

Not everything will be released on the first day. Content will come out in phases. By year five, Disney Plus is expected to have 50 series, as well as ten new movies per year. This gives us over 700 films and over 10,000 episodes.

Is Disney Plus worth the investment? If you’re a fan of Star Wars, Marvel, or Pixar, this streaming service is definitely worth it. This is a rare occasion for Disney to open its vault and release (almost) all its classics. Not only will you be able to stream your favorite movies (or shows), but there will also be a variety of new shorts and shows exclusive to the app. If you’re a fan of Disney, you’ll definitely love Disney Plus.

The Bet: An Outlaw Queen Ficlet

Summary: A Queen does not go back on a bet. At least not when she has her husband to force her not to.

For day 2 of Inspired by OQ, based on a picture by @EvillyQueenie.

“You have to come out, Regina!”

There was a huff. “You can’t make me.”

“Well, no. But if we don’t show up, then you’ll be known as a woman who goes against her word. Is that what you want?”

“I cursed an entire kingdom. My reputation’s already scratchy at best.”

“Regina.”

Another loud huff, followed by ruffling. The door to the bathroom opened and his wife emerged, causing Robin to have to stifle a laugh. She would always be beautiful to him, from her raven hair, to the brown eyes that were glaring at him, there was no doubt that Regina Mills was a thing of beauty. Normally, her pantsuits and dresses only accented that.

On that particular evening however, Regina looked a bit funnier than beautiful and that was the point. It was Halloween and rather than the she had planned on; she donned a Snow White costume. It wasn’t like her former step-daughter, but rather the cartoon version. The skirt was full and yellow, with a blue peasant top that didn’t show off her curves at all. The cap sleeves were perhaps the most ridiculous addition.

“Not. One. Word.” Regina grunted.

“Oh, come on,” Robin said, pulling her a bit closer to him, though she refused to completely go into his embrace. “You’re not the only one looking ridiculous.”

While Regina would be the first Disney Princess in history, Robin was dressed as perhaps the most useless prince in the lineup. The blue tunic and pants had been a pain to scrounge up since he wasn’t exactly a fan favorite, though Granny had made the red cape and fluffy hat.

“Where’s your bow?” Robin questioned, looking at her down curls.

“I am not wearing the bow. I put the dress on, that’s enough.”

“If I’m wearing the damn hat, you have to wear the bow. Wear is it?”

Regina scoffed, but pointed to the dresser. Robin crossed over and grabbed it, along with her brush. He ran it through her thick hair, grinning as he did. It had been awhile since he had to do a ribbon, having learned it for Marian’s sake.

“I don’t know why you’re pouting, it’s your fault we have to do this.”

“I thought it was a sure bet!”

It had all started that fateful night at Aesop’s Tables. Regina and Snow had gone to try to cheer up Emma after Hook left Storybrooke for good, but wound up getting a bit more drunk than expected. It turned into Emma having to babysit the both of them, making sure they didn’t get up to too much trouble. Halfway through the night, Snow got the idea that they would have a darts competition, but Regina would only do it if there was a wager. They landed on whoever lost would have to dress up as their least favorite Disney movie characters for Halloween alongside their spouse.

Drunk Regina had really underestimated how great Snow was with a bow. All of the Jose Cuervo impaired her from realizing that would mean she’d be just as good with an arrow. Sure enough, Snow ended up winning and even sober, she insisted that a bet was a bet. Regina Mills and Robin Hood would come to Ruby and Dorothy’s Halloween party as the former had drunkenly promised.

Regina groaned, nearly tilting her head back before Robin redirected her. “I could always kill Snow. Then she wouldn’t know what I was wearing.”

“Please, you’d miss her,” Robin pointed out, as he adjusted it.

“Maybe a little.”

“Maybe a lot.” He finished up the bow. “There you go, the fairest of them all.”

Regina rolled her eyes. “You’re hilarious, Florian.”

Robin wrinkled his nose. “Is that seriously his name?”

“According to Henry it is.” She got up, checking herself out in the mirror. “Ew.”

“It’s one night.” He wrapped his arms around her waist, and this time, she didn’t pull away. “Then later, we can come home and you can take this off….all of it.” He winked.

Regina smiled for the first time all night. “Well, I do like the sound of that.”

He kissed her cheek. “Come on, your majesty. I know it’s sort of your thing to be late, but the sooner we get there, the sooner we can leave.”
