The Barbie movie may have been the first proper coming of age movie to show the horror and dread of growing up and being female or a girl and realizing that you will always be seen as a sexual object no matter what you do. Child me honestly never felt so seen before, the film was incredible

i mean this completely genuinely and unironically: i think adventure time is one of the best examples of a long running tv show that completely improvised literally everything about its plot every step of the way. its so impressive how well everything always ended up tying together, in such a complete way, when there wasnt a set plan from the start. and how STRONG its been going for so long without the characters becoming flanderized... with 10 seasons and two reboot sequel series, it has yet to miss! it only adds to everything its built up. adventure time consistently hits it out of the park, and i think a big part of this is because the writers are building on what was already there and doing stuff that they just genuinely think is cool. its such perfect "yes and"-ing of the plot. and it works. it works so well

it's so hard to take star wars seriously nowadays because i'll watch someone get skewered by a lightsaber and then somehow walk it off with a bacta patch and a slap on the ass. like you're telling me a weapon that can carve furrows into foot-thick solid durasteel doors, dripping melted slag in its wake, when applied to the flesh of a sentient being leaves behind nothing more than superficial damage. like be so ffr. "it cauterizes the wound instantly" this is not a little cut. this is not minor burns. you were IMPALED BY A BEAM OF PLASMA. your ORGANS have been COOKED. your BLOOD has BOILED. your BONES were INCINERATED. what are you TALKING ABOUTTTTTT

nah y'all have no idea I love cageblind and the movies, and I'm just so disappointed that they are not in the same universe and timeline and barely have any contents of them, like they have so much potential as a duo 😭😭

maybe the fact that two people are getting their bond stronger and working with their flaws as the time went is so interesting to me 😭 (ngl johnshi actually sounds good in paper even before the mk1 timeline??)

I know I'm always mourning that I always ended up in the rarest of the rarepairs but omg I'm getting frustrated that these two don't barely any contents I'm yearning man 😭😭

2000's Trio 2020's Trio

Imagine how great it would be if the PJO show is successful and gets the Harry Potter treatment where we get to see these kids grow up throughout the show!

If the Golden Trio was our big 2000's trio, I hope the Original Trio will be our big 2020's trio💙💙💙

Appreciation post for 'girly girl' characters and/or shows that celebrate traditionally feminine things that girls and women are shamed for.

Characters on this list that love makeup, fashion, hair, etc. Characters that are still written as strong, intelligent, brave, etc. That told young girls that these interests are valid, they are not lesser interests. Being feminine and liking traditionally feminine things does not make them weak.

okayokayokay... hear me out. Barbie Fairytopia AU where everything is the same, except the necklace the Enchantress gave Elina didn't give her wings, she instead got the power of Magic Footsteps.

[ID: a digital art sketch of the characters Dandelion and Elina from Barbie Fairytopia running/flying through a field of flowers. Dandelion is a slender fairy with long pigtails, a skirt made of dandelion fluff and petals, and pixie wings fluttering behind her, orange and white sparkles trailing behind her as she flies excitedly by Elina. Elina is a taller, likewise slender fairy but, diverging from canon, she doesn't have wings and is instead running on glittering, magical, platforms that appear wherever she steps, while Dandelion flies beside her. She's wearing a dress with a layered, rose-petal skirt, with a sleeveless top with two petal-like decorations that trail off her shoulders. Her hair is in a low bun. The two are looking at each other and smiling. /END ID]

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.

being able to trace behaviors and traits back to something as simple as matthias never having toys as a baby makes him feel so real to me...

FINALLY had the time to watch a bit of Nimona before work. The first 30 minutes felt so familiar, and I didn't know why. The dialog, the animation, the humor, the wackness of the characters, yet serious storyline, mixed in with this cuteness vibe. The way the eyes and expressions were animated looked so familiar that I couldn't put my finger on it. Heck, the way they designed the animals looked so familiar, and their soundtrack too.

It bothered me all day at work. And then I see this on Tumblr........

IT'S MY CHILDHOOD!!!

No wonder it felt familiar! I kid you not, I had to hold in so many tears during work when I found out. Ice Age was my entire childhood. The reason I started my passion in writing. Along where my value for love and morals about family came from. Same for Rio! Finding your roots and falling in love with your culture. That film was too cute. Robots with their message on classism. Hortan hears a Who! I have found memories of watching that and valuing life. Seriously, look up Hortan Hears a Who, We Are Here. And listen to that part of the soundtrack. It's beautiful. I am who I am because of Blue Sky Studios. I wasn't allowed to watch Disney as a kid, so Blue Sky Studio's were one the only films I did watch. But I am so thankful for that. The studio always made films about love, the value of life, and peace. I believe in love, peace, and justice because of this studio.

The fact that Nimona is a piece of my childhood studio that survived. It makes me tear up! I'll always be disappointed in Disney for getting rid of them. There are so many emotions. And the fact that so much heart was put into this film. And it kept that Blue Sky charm the studio always had. The love, the need for peace and justice. The film is so beautiful and I only saw 30 minutes of it so far! I'm gonna finish it tonight with my siblings. Oh man, I'm gonna ugly cry knowing this fact about the film. I'll give my thoughts on the film soon. Let me just get emotions under control.

I'm probably in the minority with this but I wish the first 3 arcs of Sailor Moon Crystal were a two-part movie series (like they did with Eternal and Cosmos.).

This will probably make the Crystal fans seethe at the mouth bc God forbid anyone has an opinion different from them. But we probably would've avoided a lot of the embarrassing poor animation choices had they turned the material into two-part movies for each arc. They'd have more time to focus on the good bits that moved the story along. They'd have more time to also focus on the animation quality of the movies.

Maybe, as a result, they could've spent more time honing their character designs versus getting better after three FULL seasons of SMC.

Sorry not sorry, the designs in Eternal and Cosmos are way better than the poor attempts to copy Naoko's style that plagued the first 3 seasons of SMC.

I think it says a lot about me as a person now that that the easiest way to make me cry as a child (and still now. I didn't think I'd tear up while writing this lmao) was to imply that the majesties and wonders of childhood and imagination are all a dream that inevitably leaves us as we get older that we can only regain in death and that the vivid inner worlds and personalities we give our toys in our early years either feel abandoned, vengeful, or die entirely as we age.

the need I have to give Dorothea a temporary hair dye and her going from sweet blonde to fiery redhead....

(here, lemme show you just a tiny WIP of what is bubbling in my head. Just a tiny one because i am still working on the outfit. Also yes to sport a short hairstyle becausei adore.)

I saw the Boy and the Heron last night and just...contemplating adding some characters from that on my multi account at some point (Probably either Mahito and/or Himi tbh)
