Truths that Co-Exist
Barbie (2023) is a giant product placement that profits off nostalgia.
The writing is profound and life-changing and understands why we seek nostalgia in a way most nostalgia-driven entertainment doesn’t.
The film is self-aware about how even now, Barbie dolls set incredibly unrealistic beauty standards. Their “body diversity” does not even scratch the surface of what that phrase really means. I don’t expect this to change.
The film still made a beautiful statement with the scene on the bench about how societal beauty standards are narrow and restrictive! And that beauty comes from experiencing life and the marks it leaves on you!
Its feminist statements are validating. Many of us see our reality onscreen, and the great thing is that it includes how cishet men fall down a pipeline of toxic hypermasculinity. It also shows the solution, and allows men to express themselves despite what society expects them to be.
The film is a capitalist venture.
The cast (aside from the leads) and crew were probably overworked and severely underpaid during filmmaking.
We can still appreciate that something fun was made, and we all made another wonderful memory where we and our loved ones went to the movies color-matching in pink.
We should not feel guilty about seeing ourselves in this film.
Meanwhile, support the WGA and SAG-Aftra strike.

Wheatley is a silly little guy. He's out for blood. He's like a lovesick puppy. He's committed several war crimes. He collects little bottle caps he finds around the facility and talks to the snails. He's one bad day away from mauling you and your entire family over the m word. Every scientist that was an asshole to him needs to go to jail for their crimes against autism. He needs to be sent straight to android hell for the atrocities

So I found something in Steven Universe...
The Silent Princess from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
[Steven Universe Season 5 Episode 8 - Back to the Kindergarten.]
But of course, it was a monster.

There is such a thing as reading too much into a scene, and there is having a deep understanding of a scene.
Basest of the base example of reading too much into a scene is shippers going crazy when two characters are standing next to each other. It’s a hella natural thing to happen and they can go into minutiae of a scene where ALL that happens is ... standing.
But my favourite example of a scene’s deeper understanding is that here:
Eventhough Peridot is talking to Jasper, the two actual people that needed to hear what she had to say was Steven and Amethyst. Jasper in this moment in her character’s storyarc could have heard anything- even the truth -and she wouldn’t have listened. However Jasper was saying everything that Amethyst was feeling insecure about and everything she said was MAKING Steven feel insecure, the musical undertone further showing how poisonous this situation was for the both of them. And the exact second Peridot counters everything Jasper was spewing not only did the music lift, so did Amethyst’s and Steven’s facial expressions.

crystalized characters: link [loz]
last friday, legend of zelda: tears of the kingdom finally released after being announced for 4 years and delayed since 2022 and i haven't been able to get it out of my head since! i truly adore the loz series and this new addition to the story, so today i'm going to go off script to give you my personal observations on a few crystals that i believe encapsulate this series' main character: link
lodolite (garden quartz) for reincarnation and wisdom
one thing that defines the loz series is reincarnation, as the main characters go through many portrayals and incarnations throughout the stories. in all of his lives, link is always destined to fight evil, so he is connected to all his incarnations, and i think lodolite (or garden quartz) represents this
green sardonyx for courage and adventure
as the holder of the triforce of courage that possesses the spirit of the hero, link is portrayed as a brave soldier and fighter. he fights for those that cannot fight for themself, takes risks, adventures through dangerous lands, and battles strong enemies and i think green sardonyx represents this
peridot for compassion and loyalty
being a hero, link is known for his helpfulness and loyalty. he is ready to defend and help others, just from the compassion and nobility in his heart. he'll even travel to the edge of the land through all kinds of danger for them, and i think peridot represents this
chrysocolla for empowerment and self-expression
link can be a hard character to read. he is usually mute, so people tend to think he is a bit of a blank slate, although he is very expressive, he just expresses himself in a unique way and i think chrysocolla represents this
fairy stones for protection and luck
with all his adventures, link is constantly in danger, but he holds his ground and protects himself. whether with a shield, a dodge, or even fairies for extra lives, he finds ways to stay safe from the danger, and i think fairy stones represent this
this is one of the most fun posts i've been able to make, so i hope you liked it, or maybe learned something. i am not a pro when it comes to this franchise or crystals, so i learned a bit while making this myself. maybe i'll make this a series, so if there are any character requests, let me know! for now, have a great day ♡

Hey MDZS fandom. I want you guys to be careful interacting with this person.
If you don't already know, Chinese people have had a long history with cultural erasure when it comes to taking on English-language names. It started with imperialism, and continues as a way to "assimilate" and avoid mockery of our language in western countries.
For Chinese diaspora like myself, it's another form of racism we face, to the point where some of us are reclaiming our names in everyday life. Here's an article about this movement happening across Asian diasporas in the United States -- just to name one instance out of many.
The responses to this post reflect that:
You can see that my comment assumed "good faith." However, OP deleted these comments and blocked me. (That didn't stop other people from calling it out as well, though I have to assume that if OP was so offended by my comment, the next few people will receive the same treatment.)
I honestly didn't like whipping up the diaspora statement -- that I wrote with multiple Chinese diaspora fans of MDZS, all of us hailing from multiple different countries and backgrounds, our ancestry coming from completely different regions of China -- because it meant that we were encountering another microaggression.
If you ever wonder why MDZS and danmei fandoms in general seem to be so bereft of Chinese diaspora voices, that's absolutely because of these microaggressions: Someone makes a joke, writes a story, writes some meta, that is culturally ignorant at best, offensive and harmful at worst, and when we gently correct them, explaining why it's racist, the person in question shuts us down, dismisses us, gets defensive, or worse.
Regardless of where you are -- fandom, social media, on the street, at work, at school -- as long as you are interacting with other people, your words matter and affect other people. That includes being racially offensive, even if you didn't intend to be. It's how you respond to the people you've insulted that reveals your character, how willing you are to be complicit in their mistreatment.
My rule of thumb has always been this -- if multiple people, including those of the culture you've just made a microaggressive joke about, find it unfunny, racist, or harmful, then you listen. Dismiss or ignore them, then yes -- you absolutely are racist.

My hair is coming out in clumps daily. Didn’t think much of it because my hair is curly and used to that- well it’s coming out more than I can remember- thanks epilepsy.
I do have to shave my entire head for my first surgery and this is so triggering.

Can't Help Falling in Love with You
Summary: When Yuu expresses concerns about the future, Malleus shows her just how much he loves her.
Note: royal au (sequel to "A Chance Meeting") fluff, some angst, and oc children mentioned. I'm aware my timeline of these fics are all over the place. It will make sense later on
Warning: not beta read, fem Yuu/reader, making out, and possible ooc characters
Word Count: 948
Masterlist: here, Series Masterlist: here
"Malleus, can we talk privately tonight?"
Those words have been stuck in Malleus' mind all day.
Why?
They sounded off.
Malleus knew something was off about his wife's request. She had been acting differently lately, not the one he knew since she became queen. Of course, he cannot forget how she had changed more to accommodate their growing family.
It was the youngest child's 3rd birthday when Malleus noticed it. As he and his extended family sang to the boy, Malleus caught his wife's face turning sad for one moment and happy the next.
He did not want to pry about it since it was their child's big day. As Malleus headed to the master bedroom, it was time to address it.
Malleus opened the door to find his wife sitting on the bed, staring at the family portrait hanging across the room. Malleus remembered when that was done. It seemed impossible for him and his wife to wrangle four kids to sit still. Luckily, his retainers were nearby to help out until their own children joined in on the fun. Malleus smiled at the memory. It was one of the best things to happen in his life.
"Child of Man, you wanted to speak to me?" Malleus asked as he kneeled down on the floor beside his wife. She smiled as he took one of her hands and kissed it.
"Yes, I want to talk to you about something."
"I'm listening."
Yuu opened her mouth but hesitated to say something. Malleus, noticing her distress, rubbed her hand in comfort.
"Malleus, I want you to promise me something." She stopped again, feeling tears forming in her eyes. It was as if Malleus read her mind, and he immediately joined her in bed and wrapped his arms around her. Yuu hugged him back and rested her head over his heart.
"Yuu, you do not have to force yourself to tell me. I can wait until you're ready." Malleus ran his fingers through Yuu's hair.
"I think I can do it now." Yuu took a deep breath and pulled her head away to look at Malleus' green eyes. "I want you to promise me that, when I die, you will find a new queen to marry and help raise the children."
The room was so silent that Yuu was surprised a thunderstorm didn't happen yet.
"No."
"Malleus-"
Malleus picked up Yuu's left hand and held it up for the both of them to see. The big black diamond (about the size of a pinky nail) and peridots around it sparkled in the moonlight. Malleus felt proud of his ring choice. He thought the gemstone colors with the black band suited his queen as she deserved the best.
"I put this ring on your finger because I chose you. I wanted you by my side, and I do not see anyone else sitting there."
Yuu still held her stance. "But what about the future? Malleus, I think having someone there would be the best for the kids. They need a mother figure. What if I die when the kids are still young?"
"They have plenty of aunts to see as a maternal figure. My grandmother did not have that luxury, yet she ruled by herself just fine until I was ready. I would do the same for them, too, especially our daughter. She is receiving the best teaching from Lilia." Malleus let go of Yuu's hand and pecked her lips. "But she and our children still need their mother, not someone to replace you."
Malleus leaned his forehead against Yuu's. "You might see yourself as part of my life, but you are my entire life. Focus on what is happening now instead of later. I will always love you even past death." Malleus kissed Yuu's ring finger. "You are my wife." He kissed her cheek. "My best friend." He ended it with a kiss on her lips. He made sure to pour off of his love into it. "And the best thing that has happened to me. Do not doubt my devotion to you."
Yuu smiled and pulled Malleus back to her. Her lips met his in a passionate dance she knew all too well. Malleus' hands wandered around her body and caressed any exposed skin he could touch, sending shivers down her spine. Yuu pushed Malleus down to lie on the bed. She pulled away, breathing heavily, and stared into Malleus' eyes. She always loved how he looked at her like she was a star in the sky.
"Have I ever told you I always find a way to fall in love with you every day?" She whispered.
Malleus smiled and pulled Yuu closer to him. "Yes, you have, my love. You always tell me that."
Yuu smiled before placing one more kiss on Malleus' lips and relaxing. She let her head rest on the crook of his neck and wrapped her arms around his body.
"Goodnight, Tsunotarou."
"Goodnight, Child of Man."
Later that night, when Yuu's breathing had steadied, Malleus lay awake staring at her beauty. His heart broke seeing her distressed face earlier. He wanted her to be happy until her last breath. Malleus' finger glowed as he quietly whispered a blessing to his wife. "My Queen, I shall bestow the gift of eternal happiness. If you see the next life, may your soul find happiness forever. May you see your descendants rule the nation with your happiness influencing their hearts."
He pressed his finger against Yuu's heart, causing it to momentarily glow, but not enough to wake her up. Her lips curled up in a smile instead. Malleus finally let his body relax, and his eyes closed.
