#no hate to anybody or their prefetences

[orangechickenpillow]

Literally the only thing I've seen people say when they are adament the 1969 version of True Grit is better is "John Wayne John Wayne John Wayne" which like,,, yeah we get it, John Wayne is awesome but have you considered the actual movie?

Like, the 2010 version is way more true to the book, which, while creative liberty is definitely okay, the book is the original, and therefore how the story is supposed to be.

In adition, I feel like some people don't realize how empowing the 2010 version is for girls. Like, 2010 Mattie Ross made 13 year old me feel like i could actually be a badass, because she was a badass. 1969 Mattie... not so much (no hate to the actress, i think its just because of the times)

You can love the 1969 version, and you can also dislike the 2010 version. But if you're going to say the 2010 version was an abomination, at least have more reasons than just "jOhN wAyNe"

#true grit #like we get it #john wayne was your childhood #but the story existed before him #and it should be allowed to exist after him #no hate to anybody or their prefetences #just something ive noticed that can be a little annoying in large quantities #true grit 2010 #true grit 1969

I hope everybody around me knows that they're allowed to say no to me, or no in general, and that they're allowed to live how they choose, even if I don't live the same way. I really really hope they all know that.

I have a really good and healthy family (not intending to brag, and I'm sure my mother would adopt all of you, all you gotta do is be kind and respectful to people and also the house rules when you come over lol) and my little sister knows that I've been having chronic pain issues lately. I'll ask her a lot of favors, (mostly getting up and grabbing things for me, like my laptop, my phone, earbuds, things I can very easily go without but would just like to have in that moment, yknow?) and recently she asked me "..can I say no? I don't really want to do that." And it hurt my heart a little bit, that she wasn't sure if she could say no to my request or not. You're always allowed to say no. You don't need an explanation. You are allowed, and you are WELCOME to say what you'd like, and to react how you'd like to any of my posts, my content, or my requests.

(Granted, I and anyone else, is allowed to respond how they want and/or feel is necessary, but I will not attack anybody for simply having a difference in preference or over something silly?! The only time I will get upset or agressive at your difference of opinion is if your opinion disrespects someone else's right to exist)

#an og joy post #no is a complete sentence #yall are allowed to exist in peace around/on/near this blog #opinions differ and that's okay #what isn't okay is harassing someone because of a difference of opinion #or saying that your racism/sexism/homophobia/ just general hating behavior is "just an opinion' #i try to live by the phrase: #i will respect your opinion as long as your opinion does not disrespect anyone else's right to exist #and there are so many opinions that are literally just opinions #and people take them way too seriously #like pineapple on pizza?! #i personally like it #but I understand that not a lot of people around me do #so if I choose pizza toppings for a group #or I'm asked to say what topping I want on a pizza for a group #i will say my prefetence #but I will also say just regular cheese #and I don't really understand why people get so heated over that difference of opinion #it doesn't harm anybody. at all #and the constant bickering and full blown debates and arguments I've gotten into over it really stress me out! #but that is rant for a different post #regarding my neurodivergent brain and why the jokes that society tends to make just make me super confused #but long story short #yes #you are allowed and encouraged to find out your own opinion on things #and to say no if you wish #and to live your life freely
