Day 2 of the March Disneybound Challenge for this year is dragons and no other dragon holds as special a place in my heart as the original Elliot. The movie set in a 1920s sleepy Oceanside town directed by Don Bluth and make it a musical? Yes please. The whimsical character of Elliot was the perfect bow to tie it all together and I think of him with fond nostalgia. Honest to goodness can’t believe I haven’t done this movie yet as a bounded character. #dragon #disneydragons #disneydragon #elliots #petesdragon #elliotpetesdragon #disney #disneystyle #disneyboundchallenge #marchdisneyboundchallenge #disneyboundchallenge2023 #disneybound #disneyadult #disney #disneystyle #disneyboundchallenge #marchdisneyboundchallenge #disneyboundchallenge2023 #disneybound #disneyadult #vintage https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSzjLKvU5a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

sea puppy, spooky scary, trash panda // ask game! 🌼

🦦 Sea Puppy ➳ What is something that makes you genuinely happy? Hearing a song I like and enjoy whilst out and about, either in a shop or in a passing car. It's the happy chance of it I enjoy so much, and does just bring me a genuine little glint of happiness whenever it happens. 🦇 Spooky Scary ➳ Did you ever have an emo/goth/alt phase? Was it just a phase? I did indeed! Was very into goth in my adolescent years, but it lasted for a long time and I still feel it has stayed with me too long to just be a 'phase'. I look fondly on clothes I still have from that time, and have kind of modified the mix of 'goth' and other influences into a look I enjoy, even if I have lost the confidence to wear some of the things/pull off the looks I still love ;;; 🦝 Trash Panda ➳ Do you collect anything for your own entertainment? What is it? I.... have a slight mug hoarding 'problem'. Not so much for entertainment, more for the simple joy of having something aesthetically pleasing to drink tea or coffee out of;;

my cat always barrels into the bathroom when I finish showering because I figured out he likes being rubbed over with a towel bc it's like a mum cat's cleaning (´；ω；｀) so every day he will cry outside the closed door to be let in as soon as the water shuts off or he will run up to the ajar door and charge it open and 'mmmrooow!!!' at me for his massage ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

omg 🥺 that's so cute tysm for sharing ❤️

I am fascinated by your Bruby take. Have you written supporting posts for this ship and Beth’s love for Ruby already? I would love to read more detail on your view of their relationship. To me, I see Beth’s possessiveness over Ruby. She demands to be chosen, even to Ruby’s detriment. It seems like a really disproportionate relationship to me, where Ruby is expected to drop her life to support Beth. Endlessly. And on occasion Beth rewards Ruby by benevolently offering her something in return.

I want to see them how you see them.

Hey, so zerothly it's deffo not just my take; I'm gonna link to some other ppl's posts & ig haphazardly try to quote some others I can't search up (joke's on me for ever wanting to find anything on mobile I suppose🤯)

Zero point fively, the ship name is deffo buby cmon, im taking a hard line on that 🤪

So first argument in terms of shipping Beth/Ruby and/or deciding Beth is in love with ruby: why not! I just think it's fun! And it adds a lot of potential depth to many of the relationships in the show eg the brio mess, the Beth-stan conflict, the death death, the beth/rhea quasi-romance.... Plus there's really nothing I see in canon that negates it 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think this post by @nakedmonkey sums the vibe up more succinctly than I ever could!

I'd also highly rec these fics:

Almost by vibrantnymph (Ruby pov in a slightly divergent 208)

girls go to the bathroom together to kiss by makemeanybraver (aged down au, Beth pov)

(there are a few other fics tagged beth/Ruby on Ao3 too but they're also tagged beth/annie and um I assume they don't mean it)

I swear @pynkhues had some posts about Beth/Ruby and maybe kisses too but I can't find them 😭😭😭

I also super agree with the vibe of this post from @petesdragon. Particularly cos in really all the flashbacks I think Dean and boys in general are presented as life moments to achieve and tick off. Combined with ruby basically telling annie that Beth married Dean for security, I hear the comp het take ringing loudly!

Off the top of my head I'd say the biggest canon points for me are:

That I've never looked at Dean the way you look at stan line being followed by Beth's srs lingering looks at Ruby, then a bunch of loving stares & delighted giggling with the tesla stuff (I do think we're repeatedly told by the show that Beth is not in love with Dean, that Ruby is in love with stan & that Beth has some srs martyr vibes/is v willing to sacrifice herself for the ppl she cares abt)

That I would choose you every time line and really 208 in general (& actually also successful salesperson s2 Beth being willing to give up a hypothetical jayz concert to stan; basically all sales ppl are annoying jayz stans who will say insane things like 'actually if you think about it, it's impressive to get away with that many shit guest verses' right to your face)

The s2 finale callback with the actual Beyoncé tickets where Beth tells Ruby to take stan, and goes to turn herself in which IS to protect the hills (think this understandably gets buried under the rest of the finale & its silliness)

The s4 beth-stan conflict as a whole where they're essentially presented as romantic rivals squabbling for the right to Ruby's affection; beth looking distraught when she agrees to never seeing Ruby again #martyrvibes

I guess I maybe agree that Beth is possessive over Ruby, but I'd say that so is stan then? & I'm given literally no reason to think stan isn't entirely in love with ruby yet in s4 he sics the cops on her, joins in with dean's scheming against Beth thus inadvertently yet predictably throwing Ruby under the bus & ends up threatening to go on the run without Ruby in the finale. I don't think I buy that possessiveness, making demands or an idiotic approach to planning precludes Beth from being in love with ruby 🤷🏼‍♀️ (though it perhaps suggest Ruby has a type sfggfrff)

I also really disagree that Beth demands to be chosen by Ruby, at least consistently -- like yea arguably that's a bit what's going on in s2, but it also sets up her melodramatic martyrdom in both s2 & s4? And actually really the s2 conflict isn't so much abt Ruby not choosing her, as Ruby repeatedly points out, she already kinda did! I think it's more Beth losing her mind at the realisation that she's not Ruby's #1 bc Ruby IS Beth's, and I think given they're having all these srs convos abt the contrasting states of their marriages it seems for the very first time (plus the implication throughout the series that Ruby barely ever interacts with Dean) I think it's probs quite reasonable to assume that Beth is a genuine misandrist & thinks of husbands as essentially accessories, de facto incapable of being anywhere near as important as their bond. (see also that s4 line abt how no boy will ever break them up.)

I also think it's interesting in s2 that Beth does warm to rio and/or crime when Dean fucks her off (eg bathroom break) but also when she & Ruby are on the outs (eg naked feet backyard picnic bench in the sun scene).

I'm just gonna repeat: in the s2 finale Beth is trying to turn herself in & in s4 she looks absolutely shattered agreeing to never see Ruby again. I don't think Beth particularly asks Ruby to drop her life to support her? Like the girls do all do it to each other yes, but who needs the most support or is most eager to turn to an idiotic plan in order to make money ebbs and flows over the show with their different (primarily but not exclusively familial) concerns. That bit in s4 where annie & Ruby make a deal w/ rio @ the strip club while Beth's just there in the bg like helllllo can u guys hear me feels a great example.

With or without a romantic lens, I very much agree with what @sdktrs12 said about their friendship in this answer.

& I think if anything, the fact that maybe it doesn't come through all that well consistently points to a writing problem: this show did often tell us things that it didn't necessarily take pains or leave itself enough space to demonstrate clearly or repeatedly. But I do think we're supposed to understand that they love each other deeply, have been through so much together, have always supported each other and consider the other (and their family) AS family.

Do i think that we see Ruby going above and beyond for Beth more than vice-versa? Yea probs. But I don't think that's cos Beth makes or expects her do that (& in fact they even have this conversation in the s2 finale!). for example, I don't think Beth asks Ruby to stay in the series finale? I think Ruby wants to, presumably bc of Annie's arrest & understanding how otherwise lonely Beth is. & I think we get loads of examples of Beth supporting Ruby too -- the grief flashback & Ruby's speech to Jane in the cupboard both spring to mind [both a little clunky but such is life], but also Beth's concern for Sara (and indeed stan) throughout. I do think Ruby is kinder & warmer than beth; I also think she's much less damaged ♻️

If I was gonna make an argument abt Beth demanding things of or using anyone, it'd probs be annie? Idk if the show was being intentional with the nick & annie getting locked up cos of the activities of their ~siblings parallel but that does feel kinda Loud. Plus, compared to Ruby but also in general, annie lacks confidence and purpose. Also Beth's literally her big sister, and pseudo parent! Still though I don't really find this line of reasoning all that compelling. Overall I do think annie & Ruby make the conscious choice to do crime, repeatedly, to make money. They don't seem to enjoy it in the same way, or as much, as Beth, but I think we see them both get purpose or status from it too (and that that's to some extent used to display how awful capitalism is). Plus Beth no way asked or wanted annie to replace her prints on the gun!! Hmm I wonder where annie picked up this melodramatic martyring habit from.....................

Further, if I was gonna make an argument abt anyone demanding to be chosen even to the detriment of the other it would probs be rio re Beth, Beth re rio, nick re rio or Dean re Beth 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Given all that, I think Beth and Ruby, who repeatedly sacrifice for each other & loudly declare the importance of their bond, have a far greater claim to being a canon love story than beth and rio who repeatedly betray each other, and by the finale iyam have simply demonstrated that they like each other & don't wish to kill the other & are willing to ally against common enemies plus maybe in general to avoid getting stabbed by the other 🤷🏼‍♀️

#nbc good girls #tv #Shipping #I was not aware I had this many thoughts🤯 #Ty for the excuse to ramble <3 #Also also... I do think it's there in the performace 🤷🏼‍♀️ #I qd up a lot of buby content so my tag should be full of it... Now ha

3, 12, 28, 33 🫶✨🌻 (and if you don't watch many films, change films to books for number 3! 😘)

3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

thanks to @gwenderqueer i have watched significantly more films than i ever thought i would (my letterboxd, which is less exciting than my goodreads fwiw). since you mentioned both, i'm going to do 3 books and three films!

films:

Anatomy of a Fall (2023)

Blade Runner (1982) [my emotional support problematic movie]

Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)

books (focusing on novels here):

Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation

Becky Chambers, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (and the whole Wayfarers series!)

Samuel R Delany, Dhalgren

what’s some good advice you want to share?

i mentioned this last night when talking about opacity and academic knowledge, but will repeat here bc it's important - not knowing, feeling intimidated, feeling challenged, is the first stage of learning; friction is often necessary for generative learning experiences.

do you collect anything?

answered! i collect small press/limited release/indie books and stickers / stationery for sending and using in my journals, etc :)

any hobbies?

besides the reading/writing stuff ofc, I also love hiking and going for runs/jogs pretty regularly; i'm also into sending snail mail/cards!

#ty! :) #ask #petesdragon #book rec
