Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

#This is neither a criticism nor a compliment of that artistic choice #I just think it's really interesting #Like even looking at the Five:#Tigress talks in an older style than the others because she was mainly raised at the Jade Palace #While Mantis talks like Joe-schmo off the street because he *was* a streetfighter and an ordinary guy #Shifu and even Tai Lung talk like they're from an old-fashioned novel or kung fu movie #Po talks like a modern guy you'd meet working in a twenty-first century family restaurant #Part of Tigress's initial disdain for him in the first movie is clearly because she considers him to be low-class/a commoner #(And therefore an intruder into the world of the Jade Palace and the rest of the Kung Fu masters which appears to be semi-noble).#Shen looks genuinely off-put and disgusted when he has to respond to Po's greeting with a “...hey.”#And when Po wants to appear more legitimate as a warrior he adopts a more “legendary”/old-fashioned way of speaking.#In the aesthetic language of KFP old fashioned=noble/upper class and modern=common/lower class.#This translates entirely naturally—I think especially to an American audience—but it is wild once you notice it #Because you realize: “Hang on—shouldn't *all* these characters be talking like they're living in the medieval era?”#“And what does it mean that they're not? What is the movie attempting to convey with this—probably entirely subconscious—artistic choice?”#kung fu panda

a lot of things we never thought would happen have happened in a specific set of subcultures lately and I'm not sure what to make of it (I'll leave out cultural speculation/analysis here today because I have no big brain thoughts atm, feel free to add your own though)

my chemical romance reunited

fall out boy has entered a new era, complete w/ folie appreciation

gym class heroes is back

cobra starship is back

mikey way on stage with fall out boy

the academy is... on tour with fall out boy

dan and phil games full return with regular uploads

david tennant is the doctor again

og smosh is back

blink-182 w/ tom delonge and touring again

mcr and fob headlining a festival together

mcr and fob touring together is a possibility

I'll add to this as I think of things but do you see what I mean? five years ago this all seemed literally impossible. tumblr jokes. memes. absolutely unfathomable, something too good to be true in all cases. it's like my middle school self is being handed a gift basket of everything I've ever been too skeptical to ask for
