Hey. Hey look at me. Yeah you.

You should watch Renegade Nell. Cuz it's awesome. And super different and original. And fun. And a girl gets to beat a lot of ass. And it's like a cowboy story set in 1700s England. And also there's magic. And it's really emotional. And you get to absolutely fall in love with Nell and her sisters Roxy and George. And it uses its historical fiction setting to make statements about class and privilege and prisons and other stuff that feels both in line with the era the story takes place in and can be applied to the modern world, but it never feels like it's shouting at you about its message. And it's an original story that isn't based on anything, isn't a reboot of anything, and we've been starving for stuff like that (especially from Disney).

And uhhh. I think you'd like it. Ok bye.

i told you sooooooooooooo 🫡

[spoilers] yes lisa frankenstein is a wonderful, campy, cute good-fo-her adaptation for all the austen/shelley/bronte-loving weird girlies but what I keep thinking about is how it's also a meditation on how society doesn't want/ doesn't want to deal with female trauma (and weird girls). the way lisa's (enfuriatingly) deabeat dad barely looks at lisa but embraces taffy (who is 'successfully' a girl: happy, pretty, and not posing problems for anyone), the way those neighbours literally ignore lisa as she is chased by an intruder (who is literally a parallel to the axe murderer that killed her mom) - lisa's trauma is seen as some kind of wilful refusal to fit into the status quo and even makes her the target of further (gleeful) abuse by her stepmom (who threatens to literally lock her away for being 'weird'). and it's not just a lisa thing; the scene that struck me was taffy, covered in blood, crying, traumatised, and that stranger who looks and then ignores her. taffy as a popular girl and cheerleader and daddy's darling is always looked at favourably, alsways an object of positive attention-- right up until she has a problem. anyway and then something something about lisa finding companionship in another other and her choosing (un)death as a radical escape from and rejection of this status quo that cannot/ doesn't want to accomodate her and many more thoughts but that's all for now thank you

Lisa Frankenstein is a goddamned cultural reset for me specifically. Where are the “god forbid women do anything” girlies bc this one’s for you

people these days are too busying being employed or going to school to prioritize what really matters in life: watching a goth girl repeatedly electrocute cole sprouse with a tanning bed

there’s a website where you put in two musicians/artists and it makes a playlist that slowly transitions from one musician’s style of music to the other’s

it’s really fun

MELISSA BENOIST AND CARLA GUGINO as SADIE AND GRACE The Girls on the Bus || 1x01 ✦ 1x05

That's it!

The costume department of The Girls on The Bus are supercorp shippers 🫡

Or whoever picked all of Sadie's costumes is.

This wouldn't be the first time our newspapers have shared intel that was in the public interest.

when i was a kid my parents bought me an inflatable doll of the Scream by Edvard Munch (??) that was significantly taller than i was at the time and i used to slow-dance with it and pretend it was my boyfriend. It had its hands attached to its head obviously so it felt like he was always a bit horrified to be forced to dance with me

thinking about american girl again and how samantha parkington has the most unhinged 9 year old girl vibes..... she meets nellie for like 3 seconds and she's like 'we are best friends. eat this gingerbread. it is now my job to feed and entertain and teach and clothe you.' nellie doesn't even do or say much, she's just there and not a terrible person. all you have to do is not be a jackass and sam will go so hard for you. and if you are a jackass she WILL stick gum in your hair and you won't even tell on her to your mom cuz you know if the two of you are questioned she will completely eviscerate you. like imagine being miss parkington's classmate at school and she rolls up to The Big Fancy School Speech Competition wearing some pink and white number with like 97 ruffles and bows on it and then she stands up at the podium and goes 'i couldn't write a speech on the provided topic, which was progress in america, because my best friend is a literal child the same age as me and there are no laws preventing her labour from being exploited for capitalist gain, from which i must conclude america has not progressed. thank you and goodnight, parkington out' and she still wins!! unreal
