Alice Woodward and Steph Lauter are biracial💖💖

zoe and pete never interacted canonically and have probably never even met or heard of each other. but to me? best friends. inseparable. she’s so obsessed with him. opposite characters who are the same. they NEED to talk shit together at least once a day or they start having withdrawal symptoms. the type of bitches to side eye each other from across the room when they witness some fuck shit and they’re GONNA debrief about it later. he triggers her cuteness aggression and she tells him several times a day she wants to throw him at a brick wall and watch him splatter like an overripe tomato (affectionate) and he’s no longer fazed by it. he’s the only one who can destroy her at mario kart and she won’t be mad at him for it. he doesn’t feel annoying with her and can have an actual personality around her. she regularly calls him her soulmate and she’s only half joking. 4’11 5’11 unstoppable duo. absolutely everything. you understand this

The todd in the shadows video honestly just reveals that somerton wants gay men to be the most oppressed bc he makes money off of victimising his position as a gay man in media rep- he Needs gay men to be bottom of the rung to get more views and content

when i look at photos of gerard pre break up, he really really really looks like someone who wants to escape who or where he was. in a sense of self, not the band. the band and comics were the vehicle. i can see him making it up as he went. he took on the styles of the wealthy and famous (extremely styled hair, fur coats and business formal wear, a mix of rugged handsomeness-pixie prettiness), and used all the resources he could in his work (the best artists, the most extravagant sets/costumes/videos, Liza Minnelli) but he was still some kid from new jersey wearing someone else’s slacks. he looked like it. a haircut that didnt fit, a bigness that wasnt quite there, a self in the early stages.

all to say that, TO ME, he has never looked more like himself, more comfortable than this past stint in the public eye. just look at what i mean —

2009 / 2022

It's my birthday 🥳🥳🥳

the commitment behind the scenes to making claire dearing’s portrayal feminist is admirable in the way that it becomes one step removed from transfemininity at multiple points.

she is the girl john hammond meets alan grant. she’s the naive businessman in all white who’s playing god and the gruff man who’s awkward around kids that just want to be around him. her arc is essentially a gender reversal of alan’s where a traumatic situation has her valuing a specific pair of siblings she didn’t initially show any interest in. her arc is essentially a gender reversal of hammond’s where she realizes she’s put her own family in danger through playing with forces she can’t actually control.

she is the only woman in man's upper world. she is the only woman among john hammond, benjamin lockwood, victor hoskins, simon masrani, henry wu. her character foil in fallen kingdom is eli mills, man's right hand in man's upper world. everything about this sphere is distinctly masculine-coded. except her. but she's accepted as a fringe part of it.

simon dies trying to shoot down a beast while claire survives using high heels and strategy. hoskins, eli, dodgeson are ultimately killed due to self-serving desires for power (monetary) in extension of patriarchal concepts of said power. refusal of patriarchy saves claire despite initial adherence to it. the reign of john hammond and simon masrani to the reign of the (female) velociraptor and tyranosaurus rex. change from patriarchy -> matriarchy is the very meat and bones concept of this arc.

claire’s femininity is questioned in a way no other woman’s is within the franchise. should she really be dressed like that? aren’t those shoes silly? does she even have emotions? why won’t she shut up and have kids? she is doing it all Wrong. there’s nothing wrong with being a woman (lie) but why does she have to do it like THAT? if there is a wrong kind of woman, she is being perceived as it.

femininity and rejection of patriarchy are deeply entrenched in the concept of her. she cannot be anything except a woman. she cannot be a man because she’s meant to be a woman. she’s positioned narratively against men, but what stands out is that she is NOT them. she functionally transitions from masculine coded narrative into femininity, which is what saves her because that’s who she TRULY is verse the inherent greed of mills or hoskins and their patriarchy.

in an arc about transformation and feminism, the concept of trans women isn’t far removed. it’s a factual statement to say claire’s arc is about rejecting the expectations of corporate male-dominated capitalism in favor of communal feminism. is there not something to be said with claire finding her biggest joy in femininity while masculinity only burdened her? is there not a concept to be explored there?

THERE'S SO MANY WHITE GIRLS IN MY UNI COURSE FARKKKKK
