deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them! #it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music' #to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me. #but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in. #anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

#the imitation game #filmedit #benedict cumberbatch #alan turing #nikolatexla #happy birthday benedict!!!!!!!! love youuu in every universe 🎂🥳🎉 #his face card never ever declines #he should've got that oscar smh... tho eddie was great too #i started gaining more respect to lgbtq+ community after watching this movie #very tragic and frustrating to think about how we put governments in charge and yet they're the ones who destroy us in the end #all that for nothing... human life shouldn't be that cheap

no you don't get it. i literally love stories where they dive into people's hearts/minds (literally or figuratively) sm it's my favourite type of storytelling.

#p5s #fairy ranmaru #shiguang daili ren #limbo the king #king in limbo #pet anime #pet manga #pet 2020 #dmmd #homunculus #homunculus manga #sankaku mado no sotogawa wa yoru #the night beyond the tricornered window #sarazanmai #id invaded #paprika 2006 #wonder egg priority #tedpost #it allows them to portray emotions in such visually interesting ways #and is a great way to make parallels between the person who's mind they're in and the main characters #these were all the ones i could think of rn but i bet theres more that i havent seen yet #also i only mentioned scramble here because i think it does this concept better than regular p5 lmao. #FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST ME MORE OF THESE #doesnt matter what medium or genre!! could be a book a movie idc i eat stuff like this upppp #EDIT; updates the post after reading ltk and checking if tricorner fit this desc #EDIT; added homunculus too because whilst technically he never actually enters anyones minds he does visualise them into the real world #so its the same end result of seeing a person's true thoughts and feelings. but a slightly different method to get there

I'm sorry but if you in anyway contributed to this whole Rachel Zegler drama calling her smug, arrogant, ungrateful etc. you're not a girls girl. barbie did nothing for you. calling her antifeminist doesn't make you any more of a feminist.

"Let girls want marriage and feminine things!!" Sure if we're talking about wearing make up or getting Starbucks or screaming over our favorite boy bands.

I'm gonna speak about this from an American angle because that's my lived experience. And Disney's Snow White remake will likely cater to a mostly American audience. But are we not currently going through some of the most rigorous anti-woman legislation at the moment? The conservatives here are trying so hard to pass stricter abortion laws, getting rid of no fault divorce, banning contraceptives and birth control, anti-trans legislation for children AND adults. Straight men and the epidemic of podcasts they have are constantly pushing for a "high value" woman. They want us to get married and have babies.

Being a feminine woman and getting married is still the expectation for woman. I really don't care if someone gets married or not. But Rachel Zegler critiquing the prince narrative in 1937 Snow White is not controversial enough to crumble any feminist theory. Certainly not enough for all this discourse around her.

You just bought into the current racist, misogynist, anti-union propaganda.

#rachel zegler #snow white #not to mention the movie is imo boring #1937 snow white is not good enough for you all to be going this hard on her #“but the technical achievments!!!” they're great but the movie is boring and she's asleep or talking to the dwarves for most of it. #the prince doesn't even have a name

bangs pots and pans

raph was never any less suited to leadership than leo

raph was never any less suited to leadership than leo

raph was N E V E R any less suited to leadership than leo

idk how many times i can say it before it sinks in that in rise there was never once any point where that was the point being made

if you just like leo’s character better than you like raph’s, that’s fine! if you just like it better when leo is leader, that’s fine! i have no issue!

but we need to stop trying to circle that leadership change back to somehow being about better or worse or ~more cut out for it~ because it sucks to throw the great job raph did through the series under the bus in order to prop up leo’s good qualities. 

they’re both great leaders. they both have strong suits and weak suits in the role, they both have growth and development when they’re in that role. they BOTH make on-screen mistakes in that role and aren’t very good at it at first! not getting a more in-depth explanation about it in the movie or series stinks and it’s very interesting to explore, but seriously. 

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt raph #rise raph #like it's so...... #all of raph's growth as a leader and hard work at it was up and down about him growing as a leader #learning and adapting and incorporating things #when raph messes up the point is NEVER 'ohoho see he's just not as good at it or fit for it' #it's ALWAYS him learning something that he does better with next time #and in that vein leo showing those leadership qualities and potential! #is NEVER about 'oh he would be so much better at it than raph' #it's just about leo having that potential and that talent that went unnoticed! #and like. idk what to tell you leo was doing a not great job at start of movie like raph was doing start of series #if the point was always 'raph cant hack it leo was REALLY meant for this all along' then mayhaps... #one of the emotional high points and climaxes of the finale would not have been raph learning one more important lesson #and the team then fully unlocking the ninpo and rising to their potential #it probably would have been a finale arc about leo stepping up specifically in some way #and all this of course i say having put aside that leadership was never meant to be a big deal in rise anyway.... #pitting 2 bad bitches against each other like this for no reason like they're not both fantastic

musicians should make it a point to have daylight shows instead of only nighttime concerts, send tweet

#''but lu!'' you say. ''what about people with jobs!'' #to this I say: do a frickin saturday or sunday daylight show #it's more accessible for people with light sensivities of whatever sort #bc dark shows are going to have flashing lights. lighting design and production for concerts is an art form #it's an absolutely genius artform and one that I adore with all my heart #however it does end up being unintentionally somewhat hostile to those with epilepsy or other light sensivities #so the solution I think would be more daylight shows bc you don't have that kind of lighting there #like at the very least do A Daylight Show regionally?? in each area they're going to??? idk #like I know it would be more work for the musicians but what's doing one slightly different show/rearranging shows a bit #for someone who does that for a living #yknow?? #idk I just saw something about the eras tour movie and I realized that I don't know if TS ever does daylight shows/anymore #and it got me thinking about this #there are tons of people who can't go to concerts bc of the flashing lights. but if there were shows in the daytime wouldn't #that be better for those people??? wouldn't that be great?? #also I don't personally have any of these issues so if I'm wrong on stuff/anyone who does have experience with this wants to weigh in #please do I'd love to know if this would be helpful #Lu rambles #music #kinda #idk what else to tag this skfnskfja #epilepsy #light sensitivity

This is OLDER! Nigel Colbie, admiring Alex's work: The vicious red marks littered across his chest, painting him with such vibrant hues of blackened reds and hot-ish maroons: the prominent teeth marks on his neck and the strong smell of Alex lingers on his skin, stuck to him like it's his own.

#murderous intent #like minds 2006 #alex forbes #nigel colbie #like minds #The ACTUAL ending of this movie is when Alex discarded the gun to kiss Nigel VIGOROUSLY. They then robbed Nigel's parents off their fortune #After that they packed — even if they're all like wet chicks from the midnight rain. AND RAN AWAY!! #I believe that Nigel's parents' money had managed to make it to Paris #Paris is their destination and that's where History began for the two of them. #Alex continued his studies and became a history professor with an impeccable expertise. #Nigel believes that he has all the things he needs to know: It's all in his mind. He doesn't need any prior knowledge anymore. #So he became a mortician #A great one at that. #They also adopted two kids: Helena and Susie. #((Notice anything suspicious with the names?????)) #(((You will just think))) #Also a stray cat named Knight/Midnight. #I RAMBLED AKSJWIWA

Minor throwaway sentence in a book on corruption I've just finished was talking about 1930s gangsters and about certain organisations in Chicago which the author stated were more ethnically diverse than the Italian mafia, and whose members were said to have included 'Irish, Welsh, Italian, and Jewish' gangsters.

Now call me sheltered but I've seen MANY Italian American gangsters immortalised in film, I've heard of the Jewish mob, and the police Irish American gangs but I have yet to see a movie about the Welsh mob. As a rule I don't go in for gangster movies but I feel there's an unfilled niche here and also I need more info.

#Might delete this in a bit #On a more serious note given the context of the Great Depression and slumps in the coal mining districts of Britain #I can see why Welsh people who emigrated to America might be form an impoverished immigrant community targeted by organised crime #And possibly my surprise comes from outdated national stereotypes and the fact that popular stereotypes of 1930s gangsters #Rarely include immigrant groups that are largely Protestant (at least in the US- in Glasgow and London it's a different story) #Makes me wonder if all those Catholic Aesthetics that directors who make movies about Italian and Irish mobsters are so fond of #Would play the same with Meredith Davies who may be a crook but at least he regularly attends the Methodist chapel #And is a teetotaller and a fixture in various choirs #Welsh accents are often quite soft too I think I'd be fucking terrified of a Welsh gangster in a movie tbh #To be fair real life organised crime obviously encompassed people from all walks of life I'm more interested in movie depictions here #'More Welsh representation!' 'Ah yes how about as gangsters?' 'Er...' #Less surprised if I come across Scots because eventhough they're privileged in the US English media does seem to view Scottish accents #As threatening so Scots often get roped in to play tough guys and gangsters and villains in all sorts of media #And often they will get an Englishman to play a Scot and Scots to play Eastern Europeans which is also weird #But that's off topic; I am not however used to Welsh villains

Like YEAH, if they make another Knives Out/Glass Onion movie, the murderer will probably be another rich white man whose motive is to screw over a woman of color in order to secure his finances, but I’m still gonna SEE it because 1) I love Benoit Blanc with my whole heart and soul and 2) I want to see how the rich asshole in question gets his shit wrecked by the gal in question. I could watch a lot of movies with that premise, the fun is in the HOW. It’s like Leverage, but longer, and with more murder and swearing!

#knives out #glass onion #glass onion spoilers #like if there's a third one that goes that way then it's for sure just the plot and we're here for the How #and i am here for that all the way #i love these movies they're great <3

Rachel zegler has me wanting to bang my head repeatedly against a wall until I start bleeding to death

#look I don't like snow white never have and never will #but rationally speaking WHY WOULD DISNEY CAST AN ACTRESS WHO HATES SNOW WHITE TO *PLAY* SNOW WHITE #and most importantly why are they letting said actress flaunt her dislike for snow white and how she's only seen the movie once before #getting the role and how the life action is going to be so much better than the original by explaining everything they're doing to rip the #original to shreds #rachel zegler is in her right to dislike snow white and I'm not going to blame her for auditioning for the role BUT SHE'S AN ACTRESS CAN'T #SHE ACT LIKE SHE LIKES THE PRINCESS THAT SHE'S PROMOTING? #disney's also stupid because wtf did no one suggest that they should tell rachel not to act like she hates snow white????? #anyways praying that this will lead to disney live actions' downfall #anti rachel zegler #disney #snow white #snow white live action #also can we please talk about how the one movie that could give people with dwarfism depth has written out all but one of the original dwar #I understand that the original dwarves weren't Great but as a creator with dwarfism said this was disney's chance to redeem itself by addin #more depth to the characters

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.

#I'm so glad I got to grow up with these girls #I was originally gonna make a post of Barbie Daphne and Stella and be like. They remind me so much of each other #And how much I love characters like them #Because I do #But then I was like fuck it let's just make a post for all the girly girls because they're so good #So here we are. In a world of misogyny. We still have them. And I am so greatful #I'm sad I missed out on celebrating my femininity and stuff like this in my teen years because of just. Stuff I was going through #But I'm glad I'm doing it now. I've been getting into makeup for the past year. Mostly eye it's so fun #The Barbie movie. Dressing up for it. Being proud makeup and skirts and dressing up like I did as a girl. God it was so wonderful #I've not felt this connected to this part of myself in years. It has helped to much #It reminded me of my love for Barbie. The movies. The fairies and mairmaids. The bright colours and fashions #And my love for all of these shows. The outfits and designs I fell in love with. The friendships and sisterhoods in all of them. #Yes it's just Rarity. I know some of the others girls also fit. But some don't as much so I didn't wanna just put a group one #And I know Kim and some others aren't as girly as others. But she's still a good example. #Her and Monique's shopping trip and other stuff is engraved into my mind. I actually think about them a lot I love them #Daphne was also a masisve awakening for me. I had such a crush on her. And the Hex Girls. #If you're wondering why other shows aren't on here. Like Trollz or Powerpuff Girls or something. It's msotly based on what I watched #And I didn't really watch them I'm sorry but feel free to add more. #We're ignoring how I mispelled mermaids. I'm not going back to change that tag. #Anyway I love women basically. We're awesome. #Barbie #Scooby Doo #Bratz #Monster High #Kim Possible #My Little Pony #Winx #Mew Mew Power

Well, I have now bought all but one of the available DCMK movies that are available to stream. Now would be an excellent time for The Bride of Halloween to be released for streaming to the English market. *looks pointedly at people who make those decisions*

#while they're at it... #id *really* like for them to release the old movies that were dubbed... #also also #they should go back and dub the ones in the middle #that would be great #cause you know #i have kids who want to watch them #and not for myself at all *says that last bit unconvincingly* #detective conan #dcmk

finally watched alien 👍 loved it

#super intense yet surprisingly not scary (for me) #obviously the situation they're in IS terrifying im just saying i wasn't shivering while watching it. definitely a tight atmosphere tho #didn't expect there to be an alien of sorts other than the xenomorph. iykyk #i love the ship's interior design... and the alien facility or cave or whatever that was #it's all so complicated and detailed... YAY TO BUTTONS AND CLUTTERED SPACES ❤️ #now my main concern was the cat. why was it on the ship in the first place... #also ripley was hot. hellooooo #anyway that was a super captivating ride and i'm glad i finally got to experience it. great movie #quacks
