You know... it also just seems really weird that Disney has been going out of it's way to subvert everything from its past.

If I put myself in the mind of "everything we were founded on, and everything we create before ~2016 was bad" I don't see why I'd keep going. Like... if Disney thinks Disney sucks, why be Disney? (money IG)

You're right! It must be a very discouraging thing to work for Disney nowadays, if you're the kind of person to think about legacy, or occupy your daily thoughts with some degree of foresight.

The truth is, there is a part of Disney that is successful because it was innovative--it raised the bar and set the culture.

But there's also a part of Disney that is trying to guess what the culture likes, and capitalize on that popularity--the culture tells it what to do.

That's all organizations. Some are brave and say, "no, this is who we are and what we believe, and you can take it or leave it." And usually the culture takes it, because the culture is inspired by strong leadership and clear identities.

But then they get a big following. And it's almost impossible for the organization that used to shape the culture to do anything but become terrified that they'll lose that culture. So then they start making decisions based out of fear, and self-glorification, and insecurity--the total opposite of the confident, bold, innovative identity it used to have.

Disney used to say "oh you think cartoons are just gags? Let me invent the first ever animated feature film--in color! See you in the National Film Registry, skeptics."

It used to say, "oh, you critics think all my fairy tale and animal movies are too light? That they've got no weight to help the kids face real life? Let me make a smash-hit about a Nanny who convinces a work-and-harsh-realities-obsessed father that what his children really need is a spoonful of sugar. Because yeah, life's hard, but that's why we make the job a game."

It used to say, "you think the animated genre died with Walt? You think everyone would rather watch George Lucas movies than a cartoon fairy tale? Let me introduce you to an Academy Award-winning Princess story we call the Little Mermaid. You can stop digging our grave; we just saved animation."

It used to say "you think it can't be done? Hold my mouse ears." And it just did it. And didn't care if audiences said silly, shallow things like "girls don't need to be rescued by a prince!!1!" Or "grown-ups don't watch cartoons lol!!"

Nowadays, though? They're so big they don't know who they are anymore. And they're so big they're scared to lose anything, or take risks. I'm sure there's a lot of political pockets involved, too. They don't dare say anything but what the loudest, most complaining members of our society tell them to say.

They're no longer trend-setters and trail-blazers. They're a monument that is whatever the loudest people tells them to be. Has to suck, when you're the company that followed Walt's "Keep moving forward" motto.

Welp, I got a new comfort ship and hyper-fixation now 😂. It’s been weeks since I’ve discovered Barbie x Gloria, and I’ve already latched onto Grace and Freddie like a vice grip. I’m ALWAYS here for a good “Friends to Lovers”.

Honorable mentions go to Zaddy Apollo, Ashley Johnson as Calliope, and Queen of the Underworld, tatted up Persephone 🤤.

This video game is overflowing with Queer energy and I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT. 👏🏻🌈

(This is also the second time I’ve become attached to a ship from a video game. My first loves were Steph and Alex from Life is Strange: True Colors.)

I need to know exactly what "many years down the line" means because I'm LOSING ITTTT at the thought of the Six of Crows duology becoming a trilogy. But also maybe I can wait a very very long time bc leigh mentioned another character (possibly) dying and I don't know if I'm ready for that

I guess four years of agony

gave me a lesson I had to learn

Okay so I needed to share this because almost no one was as enthusiastic about this as me and my coworker, but in my place of work, we found around 16- 16- FIRST EDITION American Girl books.

(Black markings for a bit extra privacy) but yeah, we found them and went crazy! We found all of Felicity’s books (with about two copies of each), three of Addy’s, a few of Samantha’s, one of Kirsten’s, and one for Josefina! Apparently we also have Kaya and Kit somewhere but 🥺 I’m so happy these things were my favorite things as a little girl!

“One does not need magic if one knows enough stories”

I loved Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries and Map of Otherlands SO MUCH. Wendell and Emily are so cute. The perfect blend of cottage core and dark academia which I love. (It’s great to be immersed in academia and not have to write any papers yourself, 10/10)

Of course greenery all over for the fae, a brooch of Shadow, a manuscript and spelled pencil, and a pin of a needle, leaves, and thread for these beautiful, unique, and complex characters and their world where faeries are not only real but a thing to write a dissertation over. I absolutely cannot wait for book three and all the future stories to come!

(Side note I swear he’s not wearing a leather jacket its just that I thought Wendell deserved a fancy coat and here we are 😂)

#emily wilde’s encyclopaedia of faeries #emily wilde's map of the otherlands #emily wilde series #wendell bambleby #emily x wendell #art tag #illustration #digital drawing #fanart #I LOVED THEM #it made me think of Howls Moving Castle and that idea of love and lighthearted fantasy and adventure #the fact that these two are so in love and it’s more about being known and working the spaces of your life around another person #and the world building!! #I loved every footnote and was just delighted at every turn #Emily Wilde most relatable characters of all time #also Wendell’s pet name for her becoming dragon after using it to insult her #aladdnseoifjehrkhfbfs
