The Barbie Movie is the movie of all time for many reasons, but the core message being "Perfoming gender roles hurts everyone, you should be your authentic self no matter what society says" really knocked it out of the park

#this may be the greatest test of media literacy tumblr has ever faced #barbie #the barbie movie

once again i am asking tumblr to hold public polls for users to vote on potential changes. imagine if you were the 'respect our users opinion website'. like that could be us but apparently not.

#not dogs #tumblr #not all change is bad but i think the new desktop changes are actually terrible? #i want less clutter not more #staff SAYS they want to give us options #okay so develop some options and have us vote for them before release #as an actual real life election official i want this #bc i think most physical changes to websites are entirely useless and redundant #also why would you copy a social media site that is FAILING #@staff you made polls. please fucking use them #and release the results publicaly i swear to fuck #like if you want users to spend money on this website you kinda need to uh. listen to them? #i also think TELLING people they are testing a new feature that may or may not be permanent would be good #so that people don't come in to change they think is potentially permanent #not that i think the desktop stuff isn't going to be #tumblr has shown time and time again that they value only new users coming in from twitter

Analysing Soul’s character with animal behaviour

Something I’ve noticed about how Soul is treated by a portion of the fandom is that, to be honest, their character is extremely misunderstood by a lot of people. And that’s pretty sad! Because I think Soul is a very interesting and complex character. The main thing I’ve noticed is how Soul is often portrayed as the “big bad villain” because of a handful of lyrics throughout the cccc album. I’m not really going to go into the lyrics right now, but I feel like a lot of people are misunderstanding who Soul really is, and are more so looking for a character to pin all of the blame on for everything that goes down in the album.

Thinking about this made me realise that Soul reminds me of a wolf. Specifically, how a lot of people are quick to perceive a wolf’s social behaviour as “aggression” and them simply just being violent towards a “weaker” wolf.

The behaviour wolves display towards other pack mates (growling, nipping, etc) is almost always framed as them harming the other wolf. It may LOOK threatening, and the wolf’s teeth may seem intimidating, but in reality the wolf is being very gentle with its pack mate. It’s more so a corrective behaviour, or a way of showing social status, in most cases. I think Soul suffers from this misinterpretation when they’re lashing out within the lyrics of some of the songs. I believe the main reason it’s misconstrued is because of a general lack of understanding behaviours the viewer hasn’t personally experienced. Ofc this is a literal animal I’m comparing this to, but there’s still something to be said here regardless.

I’ve seen many people so far perceive Soul’s attitude towards Heart and Mind as pure evil and malicious, and barely cutting them any slack whatsoever. Soul isn’t a villain. They’re just exhausted. They’ve been stretched thin over the stress of feeling like a puppet to the other two. They’re what’s left when emotion and logic separates; a husk that’s struggling to survive. When you villainise them solely for how they act in the music, you’re also disregarding that both Heart and Mind are… just as bad. I mean Heart literally tried to kill Mind. None of these guys are evil, but they’re not good people either. The only way they’ll become whole is if they learn to get along, that’s what the album is about. Not one being more right than the other, but about them finally opening up to each other’s viewpoints and accepting one another, albeit hesitantly.

And yes, Soul’s behaviour in the album is ABSOLUTELY pretty toxic. But that’s what stress and depression does to a person!!! They’re very clearly tired of Heart and Mind fighting all the time. They don’t hate Heart OR Mind, but their patience with these two and their nonstop bickering is growing very thin. And that’s completely understandable. Every single one of these freaks start off with an unhealthy dynamic and difficult mindset. But they learn over time to get along until they’re eventually Whole again. There’s no “villain”, and none of them are completely innocent either. It’s just three really depressed guys who desperately want to see the light.

Anyways,

#for clarification I mainly use they them for these guys #all of these characters are assholes #but they’re also jus tryna live yeknoew #anyways I have very strong feelings towards these guys #and towards anyone who hates soul just because they’re tired #and before anyone says #no i will not maul you for having a different opinion #LMAO #but i hope this at least makes people think about the characters a little more #chonny jash #cccc #heart chonny jash #mind chonny jash #soul chonny jash #soul cj #heart cj #mind cj #cj hms #media literacy test #I think this is about more than wolves guys

i do think it’s a little hypocritical to complain about amazon’s lotr show because of amazon being evil (which is true) but would you have also boycotted the lotr films when they came out? what about the hobbit movies, where wb used that production to fuck up worker’s rights in new zealand? be real with yourselves, would you? do you still give money to warner brothers after the shit they’ve done? i bet you still do.

you don’t have to watch the show, obviously, pirate it if you so please (pirating is great especially with the wb shit going on) but don’t act like you are morally superior because you aren’t going to watch the show, don’t act like because you don’t consume a piece of media that you are morally superior to anyone else

#people using media consumption as a litmus test is turning me into the joker #capitalism fools you into thinking what you do and don’t consume is how you inherently fix the problems in society #but that’s a nuanced issue that can’t be delved into properly on the inter webs and especially not this hellsite #lotr #lord of the rings #tolkien #jrrt #amazon lotr #lotr on prime #the rings of power #lotr: trop #lotr: the rings of power #trop
