I watched the roger corman aladdin last night....
Predictably it was bad. Not only did it rip off Disney's Aladdin but also their beauty and the beast, AND The Pagemaster. And bill and ted. I am so serious.
The MC's name is Paige and she's a bookworm! Bit on the nose and that's coming from someone who named her descendants oc Paige lol
To the surprise of no one, she's a ripoff of Belle right down to having the intro song be about how weird she is. Surprised they didn't add a jock character who tries to force Paige to date him. The only differences (besides time periods and hair) is Paige is a lot more shy than the assertive Belle.
Her design is pretty adorbs though, stealing it for a future OC princess design :D
This is supposed to be scheherazade btw...
She was the original hero of the Arabian Nights story yet in this movie she's a odd mix between Jafar & Maleficent. Also she sounds like susan Sarandon. And because I don't care about this movie enough to hide spoilers, she gets redeemed at the end...by LOBOTOMY
I've read more than a few comments compare them to a (bad) belle x aladdin or self insert fanfiction. Surprised they didn't make them a couple.
Like Aladdin in this movie also has the princess but she isn't given a name and her only personality is being scared. Princess Jasmine she is NOT!
Oh and at the end Paige does end up meeting a lookalike implied to be Aladdin's descendant. How does that work?
The bulk of the movie is simultaneously chaotic and boring. There's a musical scene where several fictional characters fight over their blonde waifu should read first and some other stuff.
There's this one scene where the heroes land in 16th century England and meet Henry VIII except he's skinny at that point.
Apparently him being skinny is a negative change in the timeline so our heroes FORCE henry to eat as much food as possible and he blows up like a balloon. Instead of you know, NATURALLY letting him gain weight. Huh? And how does this ultimately affect history. And if you REALLY know history you could have tried to help his wives.
AND THERE'S A SONG ABOUT KING HENRY THE EIGHT DOING FEEDERISM IN ORDER TO RESTORE THE TIMELINE WHAT.
The middle segments involved pirates and Blackbeard, it was alright.
NOT ANOTHER CHARACTER OVERWEIGHT BEING USED AS A PLOT POINT WHAT IS WITH THIS MOVIE & FATPHOBIA
AND THEY MADE HER SKINNY TOO TO "FIX" THE TIMELINE INSTEAD OF ALLOWING HER TO ACCEPT HER TRAITS AS IS.
A WHOLE NEW SWIRRRL! WE REPLACED CANON WITH A WHITE GIRRRL! WE DIDN'T COPY YOU WE SWEAR IT'S TRUE WE HOPE YOU DON'T FIND OUT AND TRY TO SUUUUEEE!
You know those *bad* fanfics where the canon love interest has all their moments taken by the OC? Well that what happens to the Jasmine equivalent. She doesn't even get a name.
So at the end Paige meets a new guy named "Alan" and LO AND BEHOLD HE ALSO GOT GLASSES SEE! THEY DO HAVE CHEMISTRY AFTER ALL!
So yeah, that was a 1 hr 21 min and 17 seconds I want back. On the bright side this does give me an idea for my oc Princess movie - a next gen that serves as Aladdin 5!

I'm really glad that Sega has allowed Amy to move out of her harassment phase re: her crush on Sonic, because the way she was written back in the late 90s / 00s with regards to her crush on him is not only uncomfortable and not okay behavior (continuing to push yourself on someone after they've said "no" isn't okay even when you're a girl pushing yourself on a boy), but was also really detrimental to her character. Not only did it give people a negative impression of her (her obsessing over Sonic being her boyfriend / marrying her is remembered more often by casual fans than her actual stories in those games), but it also runs contrary to the fact that Amy has always been a kindhearted, compassionate, empathetic person. We see her compassion and empathy with other characters in those same games (wanting to save Birdie from Gamma, reminding Shadow of his actual promise to Maria, helping Cream and Big find Chocola and Froggy), so to then have her turn right around and completely ignore Sonic's feelings / boundaries because of her crush is just . . . bad. It's a bad look, and bad writing. And I don't hold it against her, any more than I hold instances of Tails having bad writing against him. These are fictional characters, they're beholden to their writers. But it's still not great and I'm really glad that Sega has realized that having Amy harass Sonic isn't funny or cute, and has instead allowed her to treat him like she does the rest of her friends: with the kindness, compassion, and empathy she's known for.

im the mash anon im living but i had to slow down cause of school and im scared to finish season 3 :(
trapper wanting to adopt that little boy and going full dad mode????
and theres something about henry's relationship with trapper and hawkeye that really tugs at my heart
I also love radar so much such a cutie patootie
AHAAAA you're still around!
finishing s3 and moving into s4 is like pulling off a plaster: as my beloved @mimupf can testify I was babbling and screaming throughout the backhalf of s3 until it ended and I could suddenly exhale and it wasn't actually at all like taking off a plaster, because afterwards I was sad... cannot deny that I was quite sad
HOWEVER it was a good sadness -- strong emotional catharsis sadness, especially as I went into s4 and saw a lot of the new pieces beginning to slot into their respective narrative places
I was watching MASH quite intuitively as if I was reading a book, rather than serialised TV -- that is s1-3 as the prologue, s4-7/8 as the main building and bulk, s8/9-11 as a series of fallouts and conclusions and landings, and then Goodbye Farewell and Amen as both the end and the epilogue
All this to say, if you're looking at it like that you're still in the prologue buddy! You've got the whole next part of the story ahead of you! (and it's quite a good one, in my opinion)

it's funny how my outlook has shifted from
"i got basically the best start in life, being born to white, academically educated, loving parents, in West Germany in the 90s"
to
"there was literally no way i wasn't gonna emerge out of that life traumatised, as a neurodivergent, queer, and sensitive person"
and i think honestly 2 things can be true at the same time. i grew up in privilege and it fucked me up in a delicate and difficult to articulate way. my parents did the best they could with the information they had at the time; they still messed me up.
as I've learned about trauma and trauma responses, I recognise a lot of my behaviour as trauma response, even behaviour that's been a key part of me since before I started struggling in school. (The onset of my more visible, more obvious trauma.)
I just keep thinking about my personality being in close proximity to my parents, as a tiny baby, their first, when they were younger than I am now and likely overwhelmed and stressed out. I was an "easy baby", I would let them sleep through the night early, I was happy and smiley often from early on.
It could just be that that's who I am as a person, intrinsically. Passive, sweet, not wanting to be a nuisance.
But, knowing my brain, (not remembering early infancy stuff but still knowing that this is the same brain with its ridiculous ability to learn things extremely fast and hold on to the lesson for life) I can very easily imagine a situation where I cried for attention and noticed my parents being annoyed at that. A situation where I noticed patterns, for example mum is always annoyed if I cry late at night so I'll suck it up until the morning.
Can babies do that? It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility, given the frankly stupid amount of control I have over my impulses, especially as someone with ADHD. Knowing how sensitive I am, knowing how fast I learn. Knowing how much I thrive off positive responses, how early did I learn that smiling gave positive responses and crying didn't?
It's a whole clusterfuck. Someone like me could have ended up on the receiving end of much worse abuse. Someone like me in a more destructive household could have either turned tough and uncaring, or died long before they reached my current age.
I still got probably one of the better starts in life, all things considered.
But damn, it hurts to think about this in detail.

ʜᴏᴡ ᴇᴀᴄʜ ᴊᴊᴋ ᴍᴀɴ ꜰɪɴɪꜱʜᴇꜱ: ᴀ ᴄᴜᴍ ᴀɴᴀʟʏꜱɪꜱ.
thank u @slvttyplum for encouraging me to finish this <3
cw: cum fetish lol afab!reader, chubby!reader
ɢᴏᴊᴏ
thin and milky. selfishly, he prefers cumming on your face, smearing his fat tip across your lip, milking every last drop out to paint your pretty face. he is highkey into cum play, and will takes pictures of your cum covered face (with your consent of course!) to save for later.
ɢᴇᴛᴏ
fairly thick. he loves giving backshots so 90% of the time its on your ass. however the times when it's its not on your ass he loves watching you swallow every last drop of his essence. he has you trained to swallow every time his cock his down your throat.
ᴛᴏᴊɪ
thick and potent. this father of the year's seed is most likely to get you pregnant. his breeder balls are heavy and big, just full of so much cum ready to unload inside you. when he fucks you can feel his balls slamming against you. he prefers not wear a condom because he claims that they're "too small" for him no matter the size.
ɴᴀɴᴀᴍɪ
opaque and milky. unsurprisingly, the thought of having a family with you turns him on, so he likes to finish inside you whenever he can. he never thought he was enjoy such an irresponsible act until he met you, with you're wide hips and full breasts. you were the definition of breakable material.
ᴄʜᴏꜱᴏ
thin and pearly. but when we cums, he cums a lot, kind of like a fountain. this man whimpers and moans like crazy when he reaches the finish line and is always apologizing for the mess he's made :(
