I just watched Nimona. It was different from the comic, yes, but still so incredibly whimsical and well-animated

I do wish Ambrosius had long hair, but Ballister's design? Unparalelled, constant wet black cat vibes. And Nimona's expressions, the pointy canines, her insistence on being JUST NIMONA when questioned about her nature- wow. So good

Does it annoy anyone else when dbd YouTubers are like “here’s the BEST BUILD for the NEW KILLER/SURVIVOR” and it’s just like hardcore gen regression on the killer side and the same meta build every survivor has before the update not even including the new perks

Like they didn’t even come out yet can you just have some fun like I love when people come up with cool synergy builds or scary builds or themed builds that aren’t just three-four slowdown perks or windows, resilience, adrenaline, whatever you know?

Everything is dark.

Just want it to go away.

Can’t even afford BETTER HELP or top surgery and I feel stuck.

Honestly cat owners round where I live boggle my mind. So, I can't open any downstairs windows because my neighbours cats are always outdoors, no matter the weather. So they tend to look for shelter in other people's houses, including people who have open windows. This didn't used to be an issue because I didn't have dogs until about two years ago, now it is a very big problem. 1. I do not want any cats to get hurt. 2. If a cat did get into my house, according to the law I, and my dog, would be liable for any damages. (which seems wildly unfair to me, like cats are damn fast and sneaky. I do my best to keep them out but its not always 100% successful.) 3. These cats spend all night outside screaming and fighting each other. 4. They WILL get hit by a car at some point, there is a road right outside. Basically, they're endangering their cats and I spend every day terrified that one day one of my dogs will hurt one of the local cats. They literally sit directly outside my front door, on my door mat. I open the door to find them there and even when my dog lunges they JUST SIT THERE. I have to squirt water at them to get them out of the fucking way for their own safety, and I feel awful for it. (and would probably get shit off the neighbours for it if they saw). There animals are domesticated, they are pets, not wild. They should be treated as such, surely? Again, don't own cats, never have but it seems cruel to me to allow a cat to be free roaming in minus degree weather or during big storms or in the rain. Or allowing them to be outside right beside a road where they could get hit by cars, or allow them to enter other people's houses where god knows what is happening to them. Insane.

It’s like people intentionally misunderstand certain characters so they can hate them more. I promise you will love them if you give them 1% of the grace fan favorites get

#sorry ranting #text #ignore me #yes I did see someone talk abt how insulted they were because Wyll had the audacity to be sad he is a devil #the man literally stands alone to not ruin the vibe you looked for him then were mad he doesn’t like being forced to have horns #because you were born with horns and grew up around ppl with horns #ok

Not my parents getting all wound up about me reffering to cis people as cis people.

Right after making fun of gender neutral bathrooms.

But hey, at least my brother finally seems to have found a doctor who isn't a weirdo that asks 15yos what porn they watch.

#irl stuff #sooo supportive #I mean they are kinda supportive of my brother but they're also still high-key homo/transphobic on like 90% of queer issues #at least 50% of your kids are queer #and yall are doing the bare minimum #you'd think old school rock fans would not be so obsessed with having their kids conform to the concept of normal #but alas #only acceptable nonconformity is surface level and impermanent I guess #sorry ranting

I think at some point in time we need to sit down and start explaining to artist who want to make a career out of art that there are FAR more options than just "living off of commissions" and "posting my art online and praying I get paid for it".

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

this post is not gonna be well put together but i am having feelings

mean girls is trending right now because the musical movie just came out and i feel insane. idk why i do, it was stupid of me to think that most people Got It, no one ever gets it, it was always about the memes and the aesthetic.

the first mean girls movie was based on a nonfiction book called queen bees and wannabes. it interviewed and discussed the social hierarchy system in teen girl friendships. how they hold each other to these insane standards of heternormative femininity out of sheer terror that they won't meet those standards themselves. the way they leverage their relationships for some small degree of power in a world designed to strip them of it, even if it drags other girls down.

the "you can only wear your hair in a ponytail once a week and on wednesdays we wear pink" speech was not an original creation for the script. it's a QUOTE from a real teenage girl. those were REAL RULES.

then the musical came, and it was one step removed from the intended messaging of the film. OG mean girls was not perfect (and was extremely racist), but it said what needed said. the musical leaned on the comedy more, but still left a heartfelt undertone, and still critiqued the systems in place. of course no piece of media is going to be perfect, but it was about the conversation.

then this new movie comes out and it is washed over in the veneer of white hollywood feminism so thick you can't see anymore. the problematic aspects of the original movie are taken out to avoid "offending" when the offense was the point. it becomes toothless, it becomes some other thing entirely. they changed karen's line "i expect to run the world in shoes i cannot walk in" to "watch me as i run the world in shoes i cannot walk in." because choice feminism is in vogue, suddenly this character whose entire point is that she doesn't think deeply about WHY she does anything is suddenly hip to the fact that the world is against her.

i think of sokka losing his misogyny arc in the new atla. i think of the Heathers remake casting the bitchy, identical heathers as queer and hollywood-fat outcasts. as if the story, the meaning, the allegory is hidden in the sets and the jokes and the music. it's a whole new thing now, and it's a thing that means nothing in particular.

the plastics should not wear jeans. they should not have curves. their queerness should be suppressed, painful. their sexuality is not a slay, it's the only thing they think they have of value. the santa dance isn't sexy, it's shocking, it's mortifying - they are children.

they're not mean because "we are all mean." they are mean because they are girls in a world that brutalizes them and crushes them into a standardized shape. they are mean because the world is mean to them. they are mean because it gives them some power back. they are mean because it's the only weapon they have.

the landscape of femininity today has shifted to camera-ready makeup at the age of 10, stringent performative hygiene standards, and avoiding being caught on film while having a genuine emotion. the consumerism, the fatphobia, the racism, the classism, the homophobia remain. We could have had a conversation about that.

I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

This movie has the potential to radically change the way we collectively see Barbie into what Ruth Handler originally intended, I’m so very excited

#I’m sorry for the rant I feel very strongly about this #I have more Barbie History if you want it #I did a full dive into Barbie History for a uni project and it was the best thing it changed the way I see her forever #she’s EVERYTHING he’s just her boyfriend Ken #barbie #barbie movie #barbie 2023 #carrot.txt
