You should watch Jack vs. Webtoons video on Lore Olympus before it gets wrongfully taken down.
His video pointed out something I wasn’t able to put into words until now. Lore Olympus has a real bad dialect problem. One second the characters are talking like they’re in a Shakespeare play which makes sense, sense they’re gods or what not. The next second you’ll have characters saying shit like “blue balls” “clout chaser” and “you’ve got a young wife with a fat ass”. It probably wouldn’t bother me if certain people talked a certain way like how Hera doesn’t use any slang and how Hermes uses some but all the characters vocabulary are the exact same.
Honestly I can look past the art and it’s inconsistencies but having dialect jump from regal to tiktok facebook slang makes my brain hurt more than glossy lipped Hades and bug eyed Persephone.
I checked it out, it's pretty great haha and yesss this is something that's been discussed before but I haven't really ever made a post about, the dialogue is CONSTANTLY flip-flopping between royal talk and "hello fellow teens" quipping. Sometimes it feels like it's trying to be like Marvel and then other times it feels like it's trying to be Bridgerton. I can think of no better example than all of the "pedigree" talk, it makes me squirm every time I read it because in the modern context of LO, it SCREAMS eugenics. The whole B-grade goddess thing made sense, until they started talking about Persephone like a poodle:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But then you ALSO get INCREDIBLY stiff dialogue that makes it seem like the comic is either being written by AI or Rachel is actually a real life version of Michael Afton post-scoop:
Tumblr media
And yes, there is a tinfoil hat theory that LO is being written by bots at this point because I don't know how a single person could write something so tonally confused. That said, I do think the more reasonable explanation is that Rachel is likely copying dialogue from shows and movies she's watching and just tweaking it slightly before slapping it into LO. She's not observing why the dialogue works in the media she likes, she just knows she likes it and slaps it in there without any regard for context, tone of voice, or personality.
And that leads to, as you said, all the characters sounding the exact same, and that metric by which they all sound the same changes all the time. I think at this point the only reason we haven't seen Hera dropping TikTok language is because she hasn't been onscreen long enough for her to get the chance LMAO That said, we've definitely gotten some weird inconsistent dialogue with Hera as well:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(like she's essentially saying the exact same thing across both of these panels but one is being said by an adult and the other is being said by a teenager lmao)
I think the dialogue is definitely one of the most glaring issues with LO, among all of its other problems. It just never feels like it's being written by a human, there are problems with this even as far back as S1 but it's become especially apparent in S2 onwards.
To finish off this ask, here's one of my favorite dialogue mishaps in the entire series, from S1, in which Apollo literally adopts an askew English accent:

my descendants dr!
Tumblr media
𓆷 ━━━ background info ━━━ 𓆷
firstly i haven't even watched descendants until last year when my friend forced me to and i absolutely fell in love with it
my favorite movie is def the second one, but my ranking goes two, three, then one. uma's crew brings exactly what it needed and i love them so much
in general my favorite character is evie i love her <3 mwah the older sister figure i never knew i needed
𓆷 ━━━━ about me ━━━━━ 𓆷
my name is raye fitzherbert and i am the child of rapunzel and eugene!
we are 18/19 and auradon is a university instead of a prep/high school
ben and i are basically like siblings as our parents are very close - unfortunately auradon believes we're arranged to be married since we are so close
i have a cat named sunny and she is an actual ray of sunshine i love her so much
here she is :)
Tumblr media
i don't have any siblings, which is why ben and i are so close since we're only children
my wardrobe consists of a lot of yellow + lavender + light blue combos
i have a dagger that i have on me at all times just in case and know how to sword fight/use it
i look more like my dad but i have my moms eyes and freckles :)
𓆷 ━━━━━ extra details about my home + auradon ━━━━━━ 𓆷
while there are dorms in auradon, i do not have a roommate right now but i can request one if i want
in my home castle my room is up in the tower and is full of artistic doodles from my mom and i and its a lavender and sunny aesthetic
lots of purple and yellow if that makes sense (yellow is my favorite color even in my cr so it makes sense for me)
speaking of yellow my dorm at auradon is more yellow than lavender because its my favorite color :)
there's a lot of majors but i have no idea what i want to major in yet so i'm still figuring it all out
we actually use magic in auradon! i think magic is so central and our parents definitely passed their magic onto us so we get to use it
also in carona we have a lantern ceremony for my birthday and it is so beautiful i get emotional every time
so we celebrate my birthday and the day my mom was found, there's other festivals as well to celebrate things like harvest and fall <3
𓆷 ━━━━ timeline ━━━━━ 𓆷
i am shifting to the first movie, specifically the day that the vks are coming to auradon!
i love to meet people and experience all of that so i get to meet the vks with ben and help show them around
nothing really changes in the first movie, mal doesn't drug ben because that was wild but ben definitely has had a crush on mal for a while now
i convinced him to propose his vk plan <3
in the second movie i also go to the isle with ben and we both get kidnapped!
i made a tiktok about this but i literally follow him and wind up being taken as well- oops
but hey thats where i meet uma's crew!
and harry but thats not important rn-
third movie i'm with jane for her birthday and meet up with everyone in the woods like in the movie
so yeah other than that its like super close to the movies
i can't wait for after the third movie though timeline was because it's going to be so fun with all the villain kids in auradon with us
especially uma's crew <3 i love uma so much i respect the hell out of her
𓆷 ━━━ relationships ━━━━ 𓆷
as i already said, ben and i are basically siblings auradon doesn't agree rn smh
we speak to each other in french when we don't want others to know what we're saying
also as stated before ben has a HUGE crush on mal
because we've been doing research on the isle so he could propose his idea to his parents
anway
i'm really good friends with jane and my friend sol :) idk if they're on tumblr but they are my shifting best friend and we script each other into our drs so we can meet
anyway sol is chad's twin and they're cinderella and prince charming's kids
her and chad are very close as siblings, brains and beauty frfr
i haven't met any of the vks yet but i hope to be really good friends with them :)
especially evie and uma's crew
but like i'm excited to meet everyone
lets talk about harry hook
i like to script scenarios so if you're not into that feel free to ignore this! i like to jot the ideas down so it finally leaves my head
sooooo harry has a little crush
that's the best way to explain it
so while ben has a crush on mal, harry has a little crush on a certain princess and doesn't think it'll ever happen until the press interview said princess where they state that ben and her are more like siblings not arranged lovers
so yeah :) descendants two is going to be fun
audrey doesn't like me or mal
she thinks i'm in the way of her families plan for her to be queen but i'm literally like go! take him! i don't want ben!
but he has eyes on mal so she doesn't like that either
other than that i'm very close with my parents and ben's parents
also gil and i are going to be best friends. i haven't met him yet but that's my goal because he also speaks french and is so naturally funny
𓆷 ━━━━ extras ━━━━━ 𓆷
in this dr we do still sing and dance which is so fun
my dance partner usually was ben, but after the vks arrived it turns into jay
jay gives older brother vibes idk he makes me feel safe
there's a ton of balls as well where we dress up and wear our crowns since a lot of us are princesses/princes
here's my crown :) its like a mini version of my moms crown but in my mind its more stylized to fit the yellow/lavendar theme i have
Tumblr media
i think that's everything i can think of- if anyone has any questions i'd love to answer them!
i love talking about my drs and this one is so special to me because the world is so amazing and i love the music so much
also if you have a descendants dr please tell me about them!

Hey Dove!!!
Loved your first request so I had to send in my own 👹
As my name suggests, I’m a hoe for Eugene so anything, like literally any crumbs you have for him would be outstanding and I’d devour them. And/or something with Nix cause he just 😩 You can pick one or both, I’m fine with whatever! It can be relationship hcs or just regular ones like I said I’ll take anything 💀✋🏻
No rush at all! I look forward to seeing what you have for me 💞
Omg thank you so much, I'm glad that you liked it! I couldn't pick between Roe and Nix and wanted a challenge, so here are some headcanons for both 😌
Tumblr media
Dating Eugene Roe would include . . .
OMG, the sweetest boy
I don't want to sound overdramatic by saying "love at first sight" but he definitely caught feelings for you the first time he saw you in Toccoa
Because he's kind of shy, he was unsure of making a move -- or even how he would go about doing so -- so when you're both chosen to be medics he's secretly a little freaked out inside because you get to spend more time together
He makes his move right before the D-Day jump, because he can't stand the thought of not having confessed his feelings if something happened to either of you
After his confession, he slowly becomes more comfortable around you. The men always talk about how quiet he's known for being, but when his shyness wears off around you, you know him better than anyone
Throughout the war, he's constantly checking in with you to make sure that you're okay. Because let's be real, the medics are always taking care of everyone, but who takes care of them? You both understand the toll it takes on someone to be a caretaker
In Bastogne, he always makes sure that you're warm. He'll share a blanket with you and teach you French and tell you stories about his life before the war while you watch the line
You casually mention that you never want to feel cold again when the war is over. It's something you say offhandedly in frustration one day while trying to find spare supplies, but he never forgets it.
As soon as you find out the war is over, he asks if you if you want to come to Louisiana with him, because you're not likely to get cold that far south
And when you agree, he feels like the happiest man alive
Tumblr media
Dating Lewis Nixon would include . . .
Two words: Power Couple
Y'all are chaotic, but in the best way possible
Like, you would have so much fun together, are you kidding me?
When you have a weekend pass, you put it to good use. Pubs, restaurants, movies. Anywhere you can spend time together, you're there. And probably causing a little trouble along the way
As an officer, he tries so hard not to show you too much favoritism so that you don't get into trouble, but everyone knows that you're his favorite
He's an intelligence officer and it shows. He can read your body language so well that you sometimes feel like he knows you better than you know yourself. You could probably even just think a slightly negative thought and bam! He'd appear out of nowhere from miles away to comfort you
Sometimes, you're the only thing keeping him going. If he starts to falter, he thinks about winning the war to make the world a better place for the two of you to be together in it
And when the war is over? I hope you like to travel, because he wants to go everywhere
It's like having a weekend pass all the time. You have fun with it, but he feels like he's living the dream, because all those times that he told himself that he had to make it to the end of the war to spend the rest of forever with you finally paid off, and he's not going to waste a second of it
Thank you so much for the request! I was honestly so scared to share my writing at first, but everyone in this fandom is so sweet and I'm having a lot of fun here. I hope you liked these! 💖🕊️

Miscellaneous Tag game
Thank you for makin this and tagging me Mar!!! @ronald-speirs
-
Favorite place in the world you’ve visited?
I haven't been many places at all, and all of the places I enjoyed are neighboring states (Florida, SC, Tennessee, Alabama.) so it's almost the same as being home. I'll say Alabama, went to a cliff that my parents, aunt, and uncles used to climb and camp at all the time, idk what it's actually called but they always called it Sand Rock (take a guess what the rock is primarily made of...) it was entirely untouched when they used to go, but now there's fucking campsites and a huge pavilion there, I hate it bc the pictures my parents took made the place look so perfect and secluded, no trash anywhere. Now there's a fucking dumpster with shit leaking out of it and stupid "Beware! Cliff!" signs everywhere like no shit there's a cliff its a rock wall you idiots-
Something you’re proud of yourself for?
.... girl idk- I guess I'm proud of how regardless of the circumstances, I always stick to my morals and principles. Thanks for that one, dad.
Favorite books?
Oh!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! hmm-
One Bullet Away - Nathaniel Fick. Probably my favorite of all time, it's so well and personally written, made me cry every time I read it.
Islands Of The Damned - R.V. Burgin. I love how simply he wrote it, like he really put his authentic self on those pages and didn't try to seem "more educated" than he was because he was just a little Texas boy and I loved that about him.
Those are really the only ones I can recall details from so I'll stick with those, but I did enjoy Helmet For My Pillow - Robert Leckie a lot, I read that in the truck while waiting for my brother to get out of class,. Generation Kill - Evan Wright was also good but it read so... grade-school-y, ya know?
My To Read list is:
With The Old Breed - Eugene Sledge. Started it but couldn't continue bc it seems like he's censoring himself a bit and IIIIIIII don't fuck with that, I'll power through it eventually though.
Red Platoon - Clinton Romesha. It's by a Medal Of Honor recipient from The Battle of Kamdesh, the only reason I haven't read it yet is bc i will sob about it for days after and I'm not ready for that.
My To Buy list is:
China Marine - Eugene Sledge. I WANT TO KNOW EVERY LITTLE DETAIL OF HIS TIME IN CHINA AFTER THE WAR-
(switching to non-war books oops)
Call Me By Your Name & Find Me - André Aciman. I just want to kill myself really, I want to hurt so bad that I never recover. Both are written in first person though and I hate that shit...
The Power Of The Dog - Thomas Savage. I watched the movie first and now I need to base my whole life off of these pieces of ART like fuckkkkkkkk.
Fellow Travelers - Thomas Mallon. Uhhhhhh yeah I want to submerge myself in this series entirely. Supposedly there's an ass ton of changes from in the series from the book, like Hawk being in the Army in the show and not the Navy like in the book, and I need to know if there are Seaman jokes-
Something that makes your heart happy when thinking about it?
Maizie 💚💚💚💚 my goofy goopy gooby girl 💚💚💚💚 my baby 💚💚💚💚 my sweet little bully girl 💚💚💚💚 the light of my life and the hindrance of my life-path 💚💚💚💚 the most stressful thing I've ever had to deal with day in and day out 💚💚💚💚
also cock. yeah that makes my heart happy too.
Favorite thing about your culture?
The MEN- okay I'll be serious. I'm not exactly sure what my culture is since Southern culture is Black culture (no I won't fight anyone on this unless you've been here, experience life here, and looked into literally any staple of Southern culture and seen that yeah 99% of it is rooted in Black history) and I'm.... Ghostly- I love the sense of community and the general easy-going but also absolutely chaotic feel you get everywhere you go. Like yeah I could get called "baby" and "sugar" and "honey" by the sweet old cashier, and then right when I walk out of the store I could suddenly be helping some stranger pack a deer with ice and have blood all over my hands and arms, the polarity of Southern-ness is great.
When did you join the HBO War fandom? What was the first show you watched?
I want to say two and a half years ago, not really sure though- Band of Brothers was my first watched it back to back like four times, then Gen Kill and watched that one probably four times back to back as well, then The Pacific like two or three times back to back, and now I'm suffering through MOTA.
Have you read any of Easy Company’s books? If so, which ones were your favorite?
I have not. I don't really want to either bc I don't want to realize all the inaccuracies of the show vs the true events. Like the little things, I don't want to watch the show with distain-
Favorite HBO War character and your favorite moment with them?
Oh fuck you Mar, I can't choose!!
BoB: I cannot choose, I can't. I love so many of them way too much that it hurts. Loved whenever Johnny yelled "BULL!!" like yes bestie I would scream his name too-
GK: Poke <3 whenever he was on screen was my favorite. I think his "and all the love in their hearts, from their wives and children. And all that hate, dog. All the hate it took to blow these motherfuckers away. It's destiny, dog! White Man's gotta rule the world!" and that was the first time we saw Doc smile too, love that for them. Alternatively whenever he looks at Brad with his shark-like smile, I would FOLD if he looked at me that way.
TP: SID AND YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS MAR FUCK I LOVE THAT BOY SO MUCH I NEED HIM SO BAD. When he tore Gene a new one about why they were the ones that made it back and not all those other guys, like yes put your boy in line-
MOTA: *crickets*
Do you make content for any fandoms, if so; what sort of content?
HBOwar: Sort of? Not as of late but I have written a few fics and made a few moodboards, can find all of them in my masterlist. I'm sorta working on some TP stuff but it's so hard for me to write for that while FT is consuming my every waking thought.
Fellow Travelers: HAHHAH I CAN'T STOP- Oh I've already made so many little webweaves and edits and a moodboard, and rn I'm working on a puppyplay fic hahah
UFC: I don't make content though I kinda wish I had when I was super-super into the fighters on a personally level lmao
Favorite actor/actress and your favorite film of theirs?
I don't have one, like there's not a specific actor/actress I've watched shitty film for. I usually enjoy Mads Mikkelsen in whatever he does, Jabob Pitts is also lovely, Anne Hathaway is my If I Was Straight actress
Favorite quote/s that you wish to share with others?
"Give what you get and don't complain when you get what you give."
Random fact your mutuals/followers don’t know about you?
Mm, I don't know, I'm always cold and I hate it and will never willingly live any further north than where I currently live, also no further west than Louisiana cause fuck Texas on a personal level
If you’re a writer, do you need a beta reader (say yes so I can be your beta reader 🤭)?
I don't know what a beta reader is please explain SOMEONE-
Three things that make you smile?
Actually being on a job site regardless of how anxious it makes me, I've spent way too long doing what I do from home and not being a part of the installation process.
Hearing other people laugh, idk why but hearing anyone laugh makes me smile.
These pictures of my goofy goopy gooby girl
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Any nicknames you like?
Buck is a nickname and I love it cause it's so fucking HICK like ME
List some people you love to see around on tumblr!
@ronald-speirs !! even though like none of your posts from any of your blogs are showing up on my dash?? hate you tumblr-
@ableedingpen !! BRO I WANT TO KISS YOU YOU ARE SO FUCKING AWESOME TO SEE IN MY REPLIES LIKE I GET STUPIDLY EXCITED-
@corkyviolet !! your screencaps are so fucking good and I cry at all of your edits-
@verawhisk !! we don't post the same content anymore but I do still love to see you around, V you are the GOAT
What would you do during a zombie apocalypse?
Shoot myself. No joke, I don't want to deal with that.
Favorite movie?
uhhhhhhhhh, All Of Us Strangers ripped my heart out, not sure if it's my favorite though
Do you like horror movies?
No (sorry Mar) they never appealed to me, I prefer a documentary about real fucked up and gorey events-
Tagging: anyone!!! have fun y'all!!!

🧠 🎞 and 📚 for the tangled ask game
Oh, all of these are so good and thanks so much for asking but I do apologize in advance because that last one may get me rambling!
🧠- Random Tangled Headcanon you have?
Oh, this reminded me that a while back I did an entire post with head canons of all the cast!
It's a bit old, may need to re-visit that sometime in the future but the first on that list is the first headcanon that came to mind for me and one I reference often in my work!
It's the idea that the flower in Rapunzel's hair are hand-picked by Eugene every morning!
It started as Eugene giving flowers to his girlfriend because that's a normal couple thing to do! But Rapunzel being new to relationships didn't think to put the flowers in a vase so she'd start adding them right into her hair, a reminder of Eugene to bring with her throughouth her day!
And Eugene, of course, got into the habit of picking her fresh flowers every morning because only the best for his love!
I just think this is something they'd do!
🎞- Movie or Series?
If I had to choose I guess I'd say series, but honestly they're inseparable in my mind!
I only got into the series because I saw the movie in cinemas as a kid and it was one of my fave Disney films since! I remember that first trailer for Before Ever After on YouTube, the excitement!
I remember the first season which I watched on Spanish television. So excited to see Eugene, Rapunzel, the new characters! Attila! Seeing these background characters get extra screen time!
But if I had to choose, I have to say series because it's what drove me into fanfics, and tumblr and back into the fandom after so many years!
📚- Favorite Tangled Fanfic?
The idea of choosing just one... I don't think it'd even be honest for me to do so because it honestly depends on what I feel like! I don't have a singular fave but I'll try to keep the list short!
If I want some cute kid, gentle, Cassandra content, literally one of @frozenwolftemplar's fics, I can't even name a specific one because she has so many one-shots that are so beautifully written, so adorable, her Young Cassandra series though is my safe space! Lots of them center around Cass' childhood which I love, I have an entire page on my kindle of her one-shots and if I'm not misremembering I was reading her fics before getting back into commenting and interacting in the community. It's possible you could credit her I came to this fandom at all? After all, I needed cute one-shots which would help feed my desire for more tts content and her fics just suck you in!
If I feel up to a longer fics, to nobody's surprise as I've talked quite a bit about it in the past I'd have to point to Tangled: Between The Kisses by @the-writer1988 and @tangledbea. It's a full series re-imagining and it just takes so much time and care in flashing out so many different characters!
Although my all time fave character isn't in it, my other faces: Eugene, Arianna, Lance, they are not just in it but perhaps some of my fave representation of them in any fanfic!
The way they do POVs is so amazing! It's just a really good read, especially if you love New Dream, or any of the characters I just listed!
And having mentioned New Dream and having mentioned One-shots how can I not mention my fave short New Dream fics:
All at Once Everything is Different and Where I'm Meant to Be by @roygbivv
Look, if you love New Dream and haven't read them just do so! They're super short but they're beautifully written and for whatever reason, maybe the prose, maybe how gentle and thoughtful they are, I don't know, they just hit me really hard!
All of these fics are ones that occupy my mind even when I'm not reading, which let me tell you isn't easy! Simply because I have really bad memory so even a fic I enjoy a lot will very soon escape my brain, but these are the ones that outdid those odds!
It took a lot for me to reduce the list down this much because there's just so many amazing Tangled fanfics out there!
I really should post recommendations more often because so many fics do not get the attention they deserve! But I'm really scared I'd end up forgetting some really important ones or something.
For now, I do have my 'fanfic fanart' tag where I post my fanart sketchbook spread (or I should if I tag correctly), and hopefully the posts under that tag will only grow! (I have a few I'm just drumming up the bravery to post while they wait in drafts!)
But I'm always looking for new fics to read! Especially ongoing ones or shorter ones, as I'm a pretty slow reader! So if anybody has recs, please send them my way! (including your own fics, of course!)
And yeah, thank you so much for the ask and I apologize for getting rambly towards the end! It's just so hard to talk about fanfics without rambling because they're so good and there are sooo many!
I hope you're having a lovely day and have a lovely week!

MASTERLIST OF THE STORY
Chapter 3: The first movie night. 
“Come on James!” Sam yelled at Bucky. “Pass me the damn musketeers.”
Everyone else just rolled their eyes at their childish antics.
“What are we watching today?” Clint asked Tony who had the remote in his hand.
“Since it is Y/N's first movie night, she can do the honors.” The billionaire said. The young woman in question looked at him a bit scared.
“I-” She breathed. “I don't know, you can choose guys…” She said, unsure.
“The rules are the rules.” Sam said. “We all chose the movie on our first movie night.”
“Come on,” Nat encouraged her, smiling softly. She nodded.
“Um… how about Tangled?”
“The children's movie?” Steve asked.
“Yeah... “ She said sheepishly. “It's one of my favorites.”
“Alright then,” Tony said. “Tangled it is.”
A while had passed until Wanda spoke.
“Okay but Eugene is hot.”
“Right?!” Y/N said, excited. “He's literally the perfect man.”
“He is a cartoon!” Tony said as if it were ridiculous.
“You are a cartoon!” She countered and that made the billionaire more confused which made Natasha laugh. Oh god she just made Natasha Romanoff laugh.  
After that, everyone turned to the TV again but Sam spoke one last time, making Y/N and everyone else burst out laughing.
“For the record, I think that we can agree that, even as a cartoon, I would let him tap this ass.”
                                 ------------------------------------------
“Okay now, let's play a game.” Tony said once the movie was over.
“Tony please don't say truth or dare.” Y/N told him and he huffed.
“Fine, not truth or dare. How about truth?”
“Huh?” Everyone asked.
“It's a game where someone asks another person a question and they have to answer with the truth.” Y/N explained.
“That's not a game, that's just a conversation.” Steve said.
“What kind of conversations are you having where you tell the whole truth?” Sam asked and Bucky laughed next to him, but as soon as he turned to look at him, he put on the most serious expression he could muster. Steve just sighed, shaking his head.
“What Y/N said is correct, but the thing is, when someone refuses to answer a question, they have to ask the person who asked them a question of their own and if the other person doesn't respond then the game continues, if they do, they lose.”
“The fun is making the game last as long as possible.” She finished.
“Alright,” Bruce said. “Who goes first?”
“Me!” Pietro yelled. “Wanda,”
“Yes?” His sister responded apprehensively.
“What song do you dance to alone in your room?” The redhead widened her eyes and began to turn red.
“I- um…” She sighed, defeated. “Gangnam Style.” Everyone laughed.
“Pietro,” she began. He looked terrified, he knew she knew him well. “What is your favorite TV show?”
“Miraculous: ladybug…” He pursed his lips.
“I thought so,” Wanda said, satisfied with herself as her brother was shut down.
Everyone went around asking questions without any serious or too embarrassing topics, until Tony spoke.
“Y/N,”
“Yes?” She asked worriedly.
“Did you read fanfiction about anyone in this room?” Her neck and face flushed.
“I- Um…”
“You have to tell the truth or you'll lose.” He reminded her, as if she didn't know the rules.
“Fine yes!” She admitted. Everyone whistled and hollered as she felt herself grow hotter and hotter.
“Who did you read about?”
“It's only one question,” she said matter-of-factly. He clicked his tongue teasingly.
“Oh, come on Y/N, this is a safe space.”
“Oh shut up,” she laughed. “But for the record, it wasn't about you, Iron-Ass.” Everyone laughed while Tony looked offended.
For a while they played the game, revealing the most ridiculous things, such as Bucky being a Lady Gaga fan and Tony watching Ted Talks every morning for motivation. As Y/N was making her way to her room a thought appeared in her head. Perhaps she found the place she belonged in.

Wednesday- Netflix Show Review (spoilers duh)
Alright, i watched the show. Did i like it? Eh!! Will i still participate in fandom? Yes!
Show rating: 3 stars??
Right off the bat you can tell the only good actor in this show is the main character. Jenna Ortega 100% did this role amazingly, and was my second favorite character (first being Thing ofc). Everyone elses acting ranged from mid to just straight up not good? Not to mention like jesus the cast either looks 12 or late 20s, is this highschool, middle school or college?? And dont get me started on the MAIN MALE LEADS ACTING??? Tyler played by Hunter Doohan, deadass sounds like a shitty anime dub protagonist. And by GOD did that get on my nerves. I will say either the acting is better or more tolerable by the end of the season but thats most likely due to the fact the screen time mainly shifts onto the main character Wednesday. Which im fine with.
I love Wednesday, i love her so much. She is so autistic coded, just like me for real. Jennas portrayal is amazing. Line delivery, body language, everything down to the tea for amazing it was.
The writing...... yeah the writing..... yeah no..... Its not great, it feels like they only focused on making Wednesdays lines good and give 0 shits about anyone else. Some moments are great i wont lie, but alot of the writing comes off as???? Eh??? And the actors definitely didnt help carry the writing. Maybe with a different cast, it wouldn't have been so hard to watch.
The show starts off with a very strong pallet of "how do you do, fellow kids?" and honestly has one of the worse hooks ive ever seen. Social media being shoved down are throats and a couple of ad placements throughout the first episode, i was expecting a full on "HEY BUY THE LATEST IPHONE, EAT SOME DORITOS AND SHOP AT OLD NAVY" type of ads like the Addison Rae movie. Like oooooooooooof, thankfully they tone that down, but its still very obvious in some scenes.
SPOILERS BELLOW
Shows like this always make me feel weird where they have "outcast" "normie" type stuff. And yeah it was.... ?????? Man idk lmao. This show did alot of stereotypes and ???? stuff?? throughout it, that was honestly very weird? Like for example Enid isnt able to transform into a werewolf, and her mom wants to send her to.... wait for it.... CONVERSION THERAPY??? Are we serious??? And its like this long awkward scene that felt like a coming out scene of her turning down conversion therapy, and her mom storming out and her dad saying how proud he is and he will always support her....... like deadasss???? AND THEN!!! SHE ENDS UP "WOLFING OUT" AT THE END ANYWAYS????? So like are you serious??? They dealt with it like it was a coming out thing and it was a puberty thing and alsoa disability, so that was icky!!!
A HUGE ICK IS IN THE ENDING???? We find out what a hyde is and all of a sudden Wednesday finds out that Tylers mom, oh my god, was a HYDE!!! So she confronts him and let me just quote this scene for yall"
Wednesday: "Her postpartum depression triggered her condition"
Tyler: "My mom has severe bipolar disorder."
Wednesday: "We both now thats a lie..... She was a Hyde"
LIKE DID WE REALLY???? DID WE REALY JUST COMPARE A SEVERE MOOD DISORDER TO A CREATURE???? IN THE SHOW A HYDE IS DESCRIBED AND "UNLEASHED" By this: "artists by nature, but equally vindictive in temperament.” He wrote: “Born of mutation, the Hyde lays dormant until unleashed by a traumatic event or unlocked through chemical inducement or hypnosis."
Like???? what we arent going to do is compare an already severely stigmatized disorder to a literal monster. That is so fucked up??? On so many levels????
There were a couple good moments in the show, and i did really like watching the friendship between Enid and Wednesday blossom. Any scene with Thing was good and also the scenes with Eugene were pretty adorable. I do enjoy the way she does investigate and the mystery aspect is semi solid. Her visions are also portrayed very well and i like them. The fight scenes i would say are pretty well choreographed.
Wednesday has alot of autistic / neurodivergent traits, along with alot of the other characters and that is very fun to watch. Because omg me? Very relatable! Does put the whole "outcast" "normie" thing in a weird perspective tho huh?
Anways would i watch it again? No
Will i watch the second season? Yeah probably!!
Do I recommend it? EH??? If you can get through the first two episode and look past the cringey/ unbearable acting, then yeah go ahead. Its only 8 episodes, i finished it in a day, so if you just want the show in the background or youre bored sure. Again there are some captivating scenes but honestly none that are very hooking to me.
Anyways thats my review !!!

how would you rank the official disney princesses/queens? (15 of them now) is their ranking different from their movie's ranking?
Teeeechnically I think there's only 13 as Anna & Elsa have their own franchise and thus considered separate, and like a dozen others are/were considered honorary/official princesses, so I'm only gonna do the ones currently considered in the lineup and appear on the new merch together.
Princesses - This was actually REALLY hard to do because I love most of them and I think it's hard for me to truly "rank" most of these in a proper order without a LOT of overexplaining. I'll try to keep it brief:
13 - Pocahontas, because she shouldn't even exist at this point
12 - Raya, I didn't and have no desire to see her movie, but since she's not an offensive depiction of a real life person she's automatically better than Pocahontas. Otherwise she'd be 13 because it's not entirely fair for me to rank her without seeing her movie for myself.
11 - Rapunzel, due to overexposure and I actually enjoy her love interest more (Eugene)
10 - Aurora, because she unfortunately just doesn't get enough of screentime to show off her personality, even though it is still there. She's dreamy, romantic, and a friend to the forest, but that's ALL we get to know. I myself am a bit more fixated on her than some others, especially nowadays (she's my 3rd personal favorite behind Belle, and Ariel), but again she's just not that fleshed out. However I am OBSESSED with her gorgeous voice. Such a beautiful, rich operatic beauty. I'm kind of okay with her never getting a sequel (we just ignore Enchanted Tales in this house) because I can imagine other parts of her personality.
9 - Cinderella, as even though she does have a kind and strong personality and has this layer of being an abuse survivor that I like, I just don't find her as interesting in her original movie as she is in Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, which is one of my favorite sequels. I do like that her dream though involves just wanting to have one night out and the falling in love stuff was just a cute accident.
8 - Merida because yes she "is a brat" but literally just take 2 more seconds to watch her movie and you'd see WHY she's like She's a teenager, her mother is trying to mold her into a mini-Queen and doesn't really listen to her, and she's being forced into a political marriage against her will. OF COURSE she's acting out, hello?? I also like how more sporty she is compared to some of the other princesses, that's a nice change. I mean I know there's Mulan too but her sportiness was more a result of her training and not just an innate passion she had. Anyways her she also stands out to me as the only princess who refuses to get married simply because she doesn't want to in that moment. She doesn't express that it's because "marriage makes you weak/not independent anymore/i'm just not like other girls" or whatever, she's just not ready or even sure she wants to at all, which is okay! I like to think she stays a single Queen later in life.
7 - Snow White because I find her so sweet, and like Aurora, I adore her unique singing voice. I love her yearn for a love so true and how she truly believes her Prince is coming to rescue her someday. She really believes in love and hope, which I find admirable.
6 - Moana because I love her strong desire to do the right thing and how there's a twinge of selfishness to her actions, as I think it makes her more human. She's trying to save her island, yes, but she's also fulfilling her own desire to see the ocean and defy her father. But it's due to BOTH of these things that her arc unfolds and she learns her lesson while also saving the day.
5- Mulan, see Moana but add extra points mostly due to personal preference and how much I love her song.
4 - Jasmine because I love how unmoving she is in her morals, She knows what she is worth and will NOT be told what to do or who to marry, defying everyone including her own father. She is a princess who listens to her heart and refuses to give up what she believes in. I'm just a little sad that this mostly just boils down to "I am not marrying for advantage, father" throughout the movie, but still, she's great.
3 - Ariel for her undying curiosity and how she goes for what she wants. Her collecting of things and fascination with the human world hit harder to me now, but I also just think many of us can relate to that.
2 - Belle, who I feel like I've talked SO MUCH about already that IDK if there's anything else I can say. I adore her intuition, headstrongness, and kind heart. I even like that she's kind of daredevilish in a bad way, like girl he could kill you lmao just stay out that ONE place. Like good on you for not giving that literal giant brat the respect of following his rules you didn't agree to, but STILL. Anyways, I also enjoy that her love of books doesn't come from feeling like she's better than the others in her village because she reads, she just happens to love reading. Her books are a source of comfort and escapism, which I find very sympathetic.
1 - Tiana, because I feel she is the most fleshed out and I love how determined she is. She also has one of the best designs, wardrobes, and signature songs of any of the princesess.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Movies - Again this was REALLY hard but this is my best shot. It's probably much less accurate than how I feel about the princesses themselves though as I haven't seen some of these in a while
13 - Pocahontas because again Disdney should've removed her franchise entirely
12 - Raya and the Last Dragon because again I haven't seen it and can't really rank it properly but also knowing what I do about it I have no desire to see it anyway
11 - Tangled because again overexposure, plus there are been several plot points that rub me the wrong way now and the TV show did a lot of...things. (#JusticeForCaptainDad always)
10 - Brave, or as it SHOULD'VE been called The Bear and the Bow. Seriously, I can't STAND what they did to the original film after firing the first director. But that's a huge can of worms that other people have already better voiced. Just watch everything that's actually about Merida and her mom as it should've been and fast forward through the rest.
09 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, because I love Snow herself, I'm not really as interested in the Dwarves, who we spend more time with. Even as a kid I usually fast forwarded through the parts where it was just them. The songs tend to keep my attention though. My favorite is "I'm Wishing/One Song". Short but sweet.
08 - Cinderella for similar reasons to her character ranking and how I feel about Snow White. I just think I get too bored with the parts that aren't about the lead, which is made worse by again Cinderella III AND that are there are just more Cinderella adaptations I like better, like the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical (+ all of its movie verisons), Ella Enchanted (the novel), and Ever After.
07 - Aladdin - The film has pretty good characters (Jasmine is the best) but suffers from a lot of orientalism and offensive stereotypes for characters outside the leads. There are others that have gone into better detail than I can, so I'll leave that alone for now. But I think its good stuff is still very good. I like the three leads and the villain, and the songs are very fun. I have to admit though, I think I was more of a fan of the TV series and its finale (King of Thieves) as it depicts a great long-term and healthy relationship, which is more than I can say for most Disney couples.
06 - Moana for its amazing personal story. Moana goes through this amazing journey for both herself and to protect her island, cultivating in two incredible scenes ("I Am Moana" & "You Know Who You Are"). Plus oh my stars the animation is GORGEOUS. I think it's all brought down a bit by Maui though. I find him a bit more annoying than some do. Not always annoying, but IDK I just don't like him very much until we learn his backstory and it puts his "celebrity" persona into new light.
05- Mulan also for its amazing personal story. Mulan is not just a story about a girl pretending to be a soldier, but a girl who wants so desperately to prove to her family and herself that she is worth something. It barely cracks above Moana for me probably because I saw it first and for the song "Reflection". I relate so intensely to that song. ALSO BISEXUAL ICON LI SHANG.
04 - Sleeping Beauty for its all-around classic vibes. Plus it has some of the most unique art and music of any of the princess movies. The fairies are fun characters, the romance is snapshot but still charming, and the finale freaking rocks. Prince Phillip is a badass and I still stand by that.
03 - The Princess and the Frog. I think this is still one of the best-looking Disney movies out there, and it has the best princess and one of the best Princes, buuuut I'm not the biggest fan of parts of the soundtrack and I think the story needed some more work. But otherwise it's a GREAT watch. Tiana and Naveen have one of my favorite love stories, and the fact that they get married TWICE is iconic. I cannot WAIT for Tiana's series to come out.
02 - The Little Mermaid because I'm biased but I also do think it's just really good. The songs are all great, the romance is very sweet, and the impact it has had has been undeniable. "Part of Your World" still makes me sob for how much I realate to it. (Sidenote: I think I like the Broadway musical even more because while a couple of the new songs kind of bloat it ("Positoovity" & "Sweet Child", mostly) I like the additions to Eric and Ariel's romance, Triton's tear-jerking "If Only (Reprise)" and making Ariel more active in the finale)
01 - Beauty and the Beast again because I'm biased lmao. But I mean, come on, it really is as good as everyone says. Incredible musical storytelling, art, and characters - it's packed with great things. Plus it spawned one of my favorite Broadway musicals (which may be even better than the movie). There's things I'd critique of course, but I can't deny how influential and magical this film is to both myself and film in general.
Jeez this took a WHOLE Barbie movie to answer. And these are just my barebone thoughts. But this is the best I could come up with for now.

Ok so I finished Wednesday...
So first of all I wanna start by saying I really liked the series. I'm gonna go into detail about what I liked and didn't like and what I want to see improved in later seasons (assuming there are any). But overall no matter my criticisms overall I really liked the show as a whole! You might be asking yourself why I'm not just writing a review on IMDB or something? To which my reasoning is that this is my little blog and I am going to exercise my right to rant about my stupid little obsessions on the internet as much as I want!
Just a heads up I am going to go into spoilers so I would highly encourage you to watch the show first and come to your own decisions before reading what some rando on the internet has to say about it. Now with that out of the way, let's get into it...
The Good:
Obviously the art direction is great, I mean it's Tim Burton directing an Addams Family reboot, that's a match made in heaven! The characters were wonderful, I honestly think they carried the show imo. Eugene and Thing were some standouts to me although of course Bianca, Enid and Wednesday were my favorites. I just really feel like Eugene was like the MVP and like was consistently one of the nicest characters both to Wednesday and the other characters (although the scene where he barfs all over the pilgrim bullies was kinda dated, really felt like I was watching an early 2000s movie making fat jokes in poor taste) The music score was lovely it really sold the whole "Goth Girl Hogwarts" vibe which I don't mean as a jab towards Goths cause I'm obviously here for that or I wouldn't be writing about this show.
The not so good:
Tbh the whole teen romance subplot wasn't doing it for me. I mean I get why they wrote it in but it felt kinda forced at times ngl. Like having Wednesday go back and forth between Tyler and Xavier, (the two most boring "straight guy" names of all time btw) after a while it felt like writers ran out of excuses on why Wednesday would be leaving one of the boys hanging while pursuing the other. Yes a lot of people have complained about how boring in general Xavier and Tyler were as characters and I agree! You had on one had an artsy loner boyfriend who has psychic abilities and the power to LITERALLY MAKE HIS DRAWINGS COME TO LIFE and they managed to make him uninteresting and kinda unlikable (that last one being more subjective to myself but you get the point). And on the other hand a literal serial killer boyfriend who turns into a 10ft tall monster with a mommy kink. And like just saying the whole idea that Laurel controls Tyler because she told him the truth about his mother also being a Hyde was kinda weak. Like just say the kid has mommy issues!
In all honesty the main gripe that I have with the show is actually about Wednesday herself. She didn't really get that much character development throughout the season. YES her relationship with Enid was very cute and I love Enid...BUT...the show even acknowledges that Wednesday is kinda a jerk to her friends. Enid straight up tells her to her face that she doesn't like the way she treats her, bringing her along to dangerous investigations and tricking her with the promise of a girls night out. And before we knew that Tyler was the real killer he was in the same boat. I mean she leads him on prioritizing herself first and her investigation and uses him to get what she wants. Same with Xavier who REALLY got the short end of the stick getting PUT IN FUCKING JAIL (even if it was only for a night or so). It felt like towards the second half of the season that Wednesday was going through a series of selfish decisions and having characters highlight them to her face so that she could reflect on her bad actions and grow as a character. But instead of giving us that payoff she literally doesn't grow OR APOLOGIZE to basically anyone! And when she does apologize it's weak as hell! Instead most of the characters she treats like crap come to her and apologize or attempt to rekindle their relationship. I MEAN FOR GOD'S SAKE Enid literally tells Wednesday TO HER FACE, that she is the one making most of the effort in their friendship and instead of apologizing, Wednesday just tells her she doesn't need friends and that she's a gigachad alpha. And Enid just comes back like an episode later and has a change of heart. And her "apology" to Xavier was just pathetic. He just sorta forgave her for everything after being justifiably pissed the fuck off at her for ruining his life and then suddenly forgives her for everything because she took an arrow to the shoulder for him.
Like it feels like the writers ran out of time or something, like they wanted her relationship with Enid and the other characters to have more depth. Like most of the other side characters have at least decent character development arcs, like Enid and Bianca standing up to their Mothers. The thing is I like Wednesday as a character, contrary to what you might have just read I want to root for her! But the writers made it a bit hard towards the end. I know they wanted to sell the whole Goth girl, raven from teen titans, attitude but it's ok guys you can make her a little more likable.
Conclusions:
You may think that I have been a bit harsh or nitpicky about the show. Or perhaps you're thinking "Why the hell did this loser nobody write several paragraphs about some dumb teen drama Netflix show" to which my response is why are you still reading? YES I'm probably a bit harsh on this series or nitpicky but that's because I like it so much! When something that you enjoy is so close to being "perfect" (or at least really well done) it's all the more disappointing when it just barely falls short. If your favorite sports team loses by one point right before the final whistle you're even more crushed that you would've been if they had lost by 8 points.
To conclude despite the cheesy teen romance plot lines and boring ass love interests, I enjoyed my time with this show and if there are more seasons to come (which it's looking like there will be considering the success of the show) I want to see the show do better and improve upon it's previous seasons.
If you read all that borderline incomprehensible word vomit here's a gold star 🌟 you deserve it. 👍 And hey, Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great rest of your day/night and if you watched the show lemme know if you agreed with some stuff I said or you think I'm fucking insane for caring so much and writing all this. Either way it's just a show at the end of the day. :)

(pls take the time to read)
Signs I should have known I was aro: Disney edition
I think this topic has been stressed a lot already. But here is my take, anyway.
Of course, romantic love had been, is and will always be one of the main themes in kids' movies. Why, I can never fully understand. I'll explain below how I like other themes more.
Some time ago, I did a post on the kiss/hug scenes in Rapunzel which depicts how much more I value acts of showing love that don't include kissing.
Not only those two. I have a history of hating Disney on-screen smooches. As a kid, I thought, "Well, maybe, I don't like seeing these characters kiss because it's a grownup thing."
Could you blame me? When my parents were in the room and a kissing scene appeared on the screen, they changed the channel. So my toddler brain concluded that the reason I didn't like watching kisses was because I wasn't of age to like it. Or something.
At the time, I had no idea that I was hand-picking my favorite movies by the level of romance they had in. Or lack thereof. And I was a very judgemental kid. Let's go through my original thoughts on some Disney classics.
Snow White — No. Just no. She's a child, fourteen. Marrying an older guy she doesn't even know. After he kisses her corpse. NO.
Cinderella — The age difference is a little better, I guess. So is the age of consent. But they only talked one (1) night and he relied on that slipper to find her instead of asking to meet all women and see for himself. Fairytale logic I guess. I didn't like how she called it love immediately and kissed the prince at least once that same night. Or how they got married immediately.
The Sleeping Beauty — Must I even explain? Aurora didn't even know Philip that much, had only met him once (if you exclude the "dreams"). And yet, he's her true love, the only one who can revive her corpse. Ridiculous. And yes, kissing a comatose body, ew. Also, the arranged marriage trope pisses me off, royalty or not. Aurora was engaged as a newborn baby, come on.
Mulan — Cinematic gold. I didn't know it back then, but the fact that romantic love is such a pushed-aside aspect in this movie gives me life. The songs give me life. Especially when the trio dresses as concubines and "Be a Man" plays in the background. An absolute gem, lmao. The sequel however ruined the story somewhat for me, too much lovey-dovey stuff. I like Mulan more when she's fighting than when she's acting all sappy towards Shang, sorry not sorry.
Peter Pan — Loved it, still do. But I did dislike the mermaids, the image of fangirls who are petty towards other girls. And Pan's brief "relationship" with Tiger Lily was nauseating to me. I couldn't explain it but when Pan blushed at her nose-nuzzling thing, I always pulled a face.
The Princess and the Frog — In my opinion, (remember, always my opinion): Tiana, this hard-working girl who doesn't belong to anyone, was lost to love. Well, not lost. But falling for Naveen in the course of three days? Unrealistic and kinda unnecessary. Sweet, but still. I adored the "relationship" between Ray and Evangeline more. Either way, it's a movie that I enjoyed when love wasn't that prominent on screen.
Aladdin — I love this movie because of the Genie. The relationship between Jasmine and Aladdin is meh. She forgot his face and didn't recognize him until later. Their coming together is a lot like that trope "first guy who treats her right sets the expectations and wins her heart". Usually that's a thing, not only in Disney movies but media in general. The female lead settles for the first guy that treats her right because the bar is that low. A good movie, all in all. Love how Jasmine stands up for herself at least. Not a lot of princesses fight against the objectification of women.
Pocahontas — I used to hate this movie. I didn't sit right with me: the racism in it, the manipulation, the murders. And the romance, yes. Pocahontas fell for the strange man who tickled her curiosity in the span of two days. I also hated how her father just sold her to marry Kocoum like that. I know it's tradition. Heck, that's a tradition that still goes on in my country. Maybe that's why I didn't like seeing it on screen. And Pocahontas doesn't even end up with John Smith. The second movie definitely ruined the story. So yes, she's the first princess who fell for a man in three days, TWICE. Needless to say, only the songs kept me from blacklisting the movie entirely.
The Little Mermaid — I actually loved this movie for some reason. I can't explain why, maybe it was my obsession with mermaids. Yeah, that was probably it. But I was pissed when Ariel exchanged her tail for legs. Not to mention human periods and overall, all the bad in the world, for a man she'd only seen once. As I grew up I realized just how f*cked up that story was: Ariel giving her entire lifestyle, family and identity up for a guy she hadn't even spoken to. I don't know why I loved that movie, alright? Hell I still do a little. The sequel too. Say what you want.
Brave — (I know this is technically Pixar, shut up) Much like the paradox with Ariel, I didn't like this movie. I can't explain it. Maybe because Merida wasn't the typical Disney princess I had been used to seeing. Now though, I ADORE that story. No, it's not because Merida knows archery... Okay, yes maybe a little. I love the aro-arrow word play, alright? Anyway, the way Merida fights against being shipped to a husband like the "tradition" I aforementioned asks her to, has always had my heart, even when I didn't like the movie. The focus on the mother-daughter relationship is special, I love it. Stellar movie.
Tangled — One of my favorite Disney movies, my favorite princess. But her relationship with Eugene.... Well. Again, three days. That's all it takes to fall in love. Classic of Disney. Not only that, but Eugene is literally the first man person Raps has ever since, besides Gothel. The bar is nonexistent for her, she would have fallen for anyone. He lied to her and she still... Well, I won't stress that any longer. Their relationship in the end is sweet, one of the few cases where we are actually shown that they would risk their lives to save each other. Respect that. Mostly, I love her magical hair and Pascal. And the guys of Snuggly Duckling.
Moana — EPIC MOVIE. The story, the culture, the character growth, the plot twist, everything! Loved it at first sight, at second and forever. Even more when I became aware that there's no romance in it. I don't think I need to say more.
Frozen — My opinions on this movie have always been changing, accompanied by mixed feelings. So the relationship between sisters was cute, but Lilo and Stitch made that more realistic. Anna's relationship with Hans, ugh. I think that for a long time I used the fact that he was the antagonist to justify my absolute hate for the way Anna "fell" for him in one evening. Again, Anna sweetheart. This is the first man you've met. The bar is nonexistent for you too. God bless Elsa for forbidding her to marry Hans. And while it's cute to think Elsa as a lesbian, she has aromantic vibes. Sorry not sorry, but she's also a God by the end of Frozen 2. Gods are beyond attraction, I said what I said.
Raya and the Last Dragon — Loved it, still do. Say what you will about "dragon Elsa". Sisu is her own character, and I adore her. And yes, I love the lack of romance in the movie. Make no mistake, I shipped Raya and Namaari from the first moment they smiled at each other. I swear on my name that I paused the movie and screamed, GAYYYY, at the top of my lungs. Luckily, I was home alone. If only Disney directors would do the right fcking thing and give me a queer main couple!! I swear I wouldn't mind the lovey-dovey romance one bit.
Of course, I've left dozens of movies out. This post is already way longer than I wanted it to be. But I think that was enough to make a point.
While I'm not romance-repulsed, seeing animated kisses (and unnecessary relationships) on screen makes me uncomfortable. As a child and as a grownup. It just doesn't sit right with me. Not to mention all these princesses who identify with their princes and specifically their relationships with said princes when they're perfect on their. Wreck it Ralph 2 made them a favor, I think, by making them work together and showing their strengths. Another movie I love.
Friendship just makes an overall better theme to apply to kids shows, my opinion. Family, work, self-discovery, mental health, happiness. These are all better themes to portray in media dedicated for children. Which is, again, my opinion.
And yes, Disney has been getting better. They've fixed the age difference and the age of consent. The female characters no longer depend on the male ones, at least not as often. They understand the assignment, alright. There are still many questionable things about Disney's reputation though, things we all choose to overlook for the sake of the good movies. But who knows? They might change. Hopefully soon we'll also have an obviously queer couple in a movie. Hope dies last.

this is a genuine, curious question! what's appealing 2 u about jackunzel :^] ??
Sure, I can talk about why I ship Jackunzel!!!
@gryffindorkxdraws has some posts about why she likes Jackunzel here, here, and here, so those are a pretty good rundown of reasons to supplement mine. But I’ll make a list of my own!
Why Jackunzel Owns My Entire Soul: An Essay in Disorganized Bullet Points ~I dig the sun/moon symbolism! Like Jack was chosen by the moon and Rapunzel has the powers of the sun. It’s such a nice contrast, and it also lends itself really well to star-crossed lover-type fantasy/fairy tale AUs (which I am ALWAYS a sucker for!) ~From what little we know about Jack’s preference in girls (i.e. the slight crush he seemed to have on Tooth), Rapunzel seems like EXACTLY his type--bubbly, energetic, optimistic girls with a bit of a maternal streak. I think even the RotG director confirmed Punz is the kind of girl Jack would like! ~Jack also absolutely seems like Punzel’s type--if Flynn/Eugene is anything to go by, she’s kind of into sarcastic troublemakers with a hidden soft side XD And she also seems to like guys who are good with kids, if Eugene reading “The Adventures of Flynnigan Rider” to the younger kids at the orphanage is anything to go by! ~They both seem to be naturally pretty social people who suffered a lot from being isolated for a really long time--Jack had it worse, obviously (300 years--OUCH), but it was rough on Punz as well, growing up for 18 years with no one for company but Mother Gothel and Pascal. Jack, spending all that time with no one able to see him and only the guardians (who weren’t even really his friends from much of that time) for company, would understand that pain a lot. I feel like they’d be able to connect on a really deep and intimate level about the pain they felt at being isolated for so long, and this would give them a really strong bond that I can easily see turning into something romantic. ~They’re both just such genuinely lively and fun-loving people, and I can imagine them having a ton of fun together and just genuinely really enjoying spending time together. Like imagine the snowball fights!!! The ice-skating!!! The sledding!!! Chasing each other through the forest!!! Jack grabbing onto Punz and her wrapping her hair around a tree and swinging them around Tarzan-style!!! Like literally the entire scene where Punzel leaves her tower for the first time and is goofing off and doing Silly Shit for like an hour straight??? Like man...if Jack was there, they’d have the TIME OF THEIR LIVES together. Idk I just really love couples who I think would have a lot of fun together, it’s so pure <3 ~They’re both so loving!!! Like Rapunzel goes out of her way to be supportive to an entire tavernful of terrifying “ruffians and thugs” because they have dreams, and she’s so sweet to Flynn/Eugene no matter how many times he snarks at her and tries to alienate her!!! And Jack loves loves LOVES entertaining kids, and it genuinely makes him so happy to give them snow days :3 I just feel like they’d shower each other with love, and it’s honestly no less than they both deserve!!! ~Rapunzel especially is such an affectionate person, and I can see her doing just absolutely everything in her power to make Jack feel as seen and as loved as possible after 300 years of being alone. And god, does he NEED it, too. Like no way is this boy NOT touch-starved, and with some MAJOR self-esteem issues (although he’s good at hiding them). Rapunzel would do absolutely everything in her power to build him up and make him feel wanted and validated--and since it’s in her nature to do so, it would never feel like a burden or an effort for her. And she’d love him so much that hyping him up just comes naturally! She’s just got the kind of nurturing personality that someone as affection-starved as Jack really needs, and I think she could help him feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a way a lot of people couldn’t. ~For all the fun they’d have together, I also feel like Jack needs someone to ground him a bit and provide the Brain Cell to perhaps reign in that Unchecked Chaotic Energy of his sometimes XD Rapunzel certainly has a smart and rational side--I mean, she charted STARS as a teenager!!! She figured out how to get this stranger she captured to take her into the kingdom to see the lanterns!!! Girl can be spontaneous and goofy, sure, but she’s got smarts and kind of a mature streak that I think mesh with Jack really well. He’d never feel like she was a wet blanket stifling his fun, but she’d also have a sense of when to transition away from goofing off and focus on responsibilities (princess and guardian responsibilities in this case, I suppose?) ~On the flipside, I don’t see Rapunzel as being someone annoyed or irritated by Jack’s antics. She might like...gently scold him if he takes a prank too far, but she never finds his shenanigans to be grating and tiresome the way other people might. Rather, I think she’d be endlessly entertained by him. Like in his memory reel when he’s dicking around pretending to be a deer, she’d get a kick out of that! Jack would always be trying to make her laugh and make her smile, and Punz would love that so much about him! ~They’re both searching for a deeper meaning and a deeper sense of purpose in their lives. Rapunzel entertains herself with hobbies, but doesn’t feel like her life has really “begun” and is desperate to find out if her hunch is right and the floating lights really ARE meant for her. Jack has no idea why he was chosen by the moon or what he’s meant to do, and he’s determined to find out so he can finally have a sense of purpose. Rapunzel clearly wants a sense of purpose too, since she wants to do more with her life than pass the time with hobbies. I can definitely see them bonding over this! ~They’re both just so adventurous, and love to explore! Rapunzel is curious, and loves to read and learn, and she wants more than anything else to see the world and all it has to offer. Jack loves adventuring and flying around the globe spreading winter and fun, and he could show Punz everything she ever wanted to see. A perfect match, honestly! ~Aesthetically I LOVE the similarities!!! Like they both like to go barefoot, kinda showing their free-spirited natures. And I love how they’re both naturally brunette, but had their hair turned a different color by magic. It’s a little thing, but I think it’s a really neat parallel and it helps cement me thinking they really ARE perfect for each other in every little way! Haha XD AND they both have small green companions, and as of Ralph Breaks The Internet, they’re hoodie buddies as well!!! Not that surface-level parallels like that are actually that significant BUT I just think they’re neat XD ~While I am fond of Flynnzel/Eugenzel (still my favorite canon Disney couple!), finding out their age gap is around 8 years admittedly made me a bit uncomfy and just pushed me further into loving Jackunzel as an alternative option. I still really love Eugene as a character and adore his and Punzel’s dynamic, but these days I prefer their relationship as more of a big bro/little sis type thing. Jack I think is the best match for Rapunzel romantically, and Eugene I prefer with Elsa--or poooossibly Tooth, Astrid, or Zarina, if I read a fic that sells the pairing well enough! ~On a related note, I was into Jack x Tooth the first time I watched RotG, but after discovering Jackunzel, there was no going back--I was hooked! Rewatching the movie, Tooth strikes me more as a mom figure/”fun aunt” for Jack, and I actually prefer her with Bunnymund (I am WEAK for “the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one” lmao)
Well, I think that just about covers it!!! I’ll add more reasons if I think of them! Thank you for the ask, and I’m always happy to answer more ship asks about CGI crossover pairings :3
Also @ the anon who asked for Jackunzel headcanons--fear not, I shall provide them!!! I just wanna make a complete list and accumulate all the ones from my various fics so it’s gonna take a while XD

Hi! I’m intrigued by your thoughts on how the Series turned Eugene into a comedic love interest. Could I hear your thoughts on that?
Hi, yes!
Let me preface this by saying that I don't mind Eugene being a goofball in the series. Hell, when you look at the movie, he was comic relief 75% of the time. It is completely realistic for Eugene to be a funny guy. This is the first time since he was a kid that he's gotten to relax and actually be a kid. The series is the first time we hear him really laughing, big and from the belly. (I legit almost cried the first time I saw "Rapunzel's Enemy" and Eugene was cracking up at gopher shenanigans.)
That being said, when you look at Eugene's development throughout the series, they give us tastes, glances, hints of something bigger, then snatch it away in favor of something else. Like, his identity crisis in the Dark Kingdom? It was over way too fast. He got my favorite song in the whole series, then promptly got over himself with hardly even any carry over into S3. We can see that his relationship with Edmund develops slowly, but we don't actually get to watch it develop. It's all stuff that happens off camera, and each time we see them together, things are a little better than last time.
Eugene's primary role in the series was to be Rapunzel's supportive boyfriend, and he often put his own wants and needs on the side to achieve this. How often does he have every right to be upset, but he doesn't share those thoughts with anyone, let alone Rapunzel. And how often, when he does share them with Rapunzel, does she advise him against his legitimate way of thinking? He loved Cassandra like a sister. Her betrayal hurt him too. He advised Rapunzel to just let her go, and the series sent her back in time to change his mind. His trepidation with reconnecting with Edmund was completely understandable. But Rapunzel advised him to just give Edmund a chance because family is soooooo important (even though her own dad treated her terribly several times in S1). I'm not saying she's not allowed to have a different perspective than he is, but he gave Edmund that chance because Rapunzel advised him to - even kinda made him (though not literally, because he was not required to bow to her whim) - and he wasn't really allowed to stick to his own thoughts on the matter and heal in his own time in his own way. (Don't get me wrong, I adore "The Return of the King," it's one of my favorite episodes, but I'm trying to look at things with an unbiased eye.) Even in "Flynnpostor," he wasn't allowed his extremely legitimate complaint that someone literally stole his literal identity, because he didn't happen to identify that way anymore. Rapunzel telling him that he's Eugene now doesn't change the fact that he was Flynn up until very recently, and being Flynn shaped who he is now.
Even stories that should have been about Eugene were handed off to Rapunzel. Why is she the one who was paired up with Stalyan for a heist? Why was she the one who got to forgive Stalyan for the way she treated Eugene, when how Stalyan treated Eugene in the past doesn't affect Rapunzel today? It was not her job to change or forgive Stalyan, and the one person who it really did affect a lot had no say in how that adventure went.
We're told that Eugene's faith in Rapunzel is unwavering and... somehow unlocked her hair's powers again. But how? They don't actually explain it, they just handwave it away, because Eugene being there for Rapunzel is this vague important thing. In "Be Very Afraid" his big fear is played for laughs. This man literally died! He was stabbed to death, and his biggest fear is that his hair's messed up? And this is just one example in a string of examples where it happens again and again. Both times they encountered the tower, he faced the whole ordeal with jokes. And it’s easy to say (and I agree) that he uses jokes to cope with trauma, but the fact is he’s got trauma that they don’t think is important enough to explore. I don't mind Eugene being funny or being comic relief, but I wish he was also taken seriously far more often than he is. And this project of mind is opening my eyes to how infrequently the man is sincerely praised.

BL/GL Tag Game
Tagged by the lovely @ellaspore, thank you!! 🥰
Your all time favorite BL/GL character and why?
Oh god, don’t make me pick just one! Can I make a short list instead? Bunn and Sorawit from Manner of Death. Pat and Pran and Ink from Bad Buddy. Two from Theory of Love. Mork and Tawan from My Ride. Win and Korn and Non from Cupid’s Last Wish. Black and Gumpa from Not Me. Mork from Dark Blue Kiss. Pure from My Gear Your Gown. I could probably go on but that’s already too many, isn’t it? To be concise, Bunn and Sorawit were the first to come to mind.
What’s your one character from a BL/GL you wanted to punt into the stratosphere (you only get one so choose wisely)?
Later Eps Canon Gram from Not Me can eat shit ❤️
He’s hardly the worst character out there, what gets to me is the way he’s treated like a good guy that we should be rooting for. He deserved his due comeuppance. (Not to be confused with Fanon Gram who owns my heart forever and deserves nothing less than a fuzzy blanket, hot cocoa, and gang cuddles in abundance.)
And honourable mentions go to all the homophobic parents in BLs.
The best music moment from a BL/GL?
I HAVE A LIST!!!! Because anyone who’s watched a show or movie with me can tell you, Soundtrack Moments™ drive me INSANE (it’s one of the things I love so much about Fox’s 911).
So there’s anytime the OST from Semantic Error plays (especially the scene where Jaeyoung first stops wearing red and makes his dramatic appearance), a good handful of scenes in Not Me (especially obsessed with the Seanwhite meeting scene and the Eugene/White “breakup” scene), the Patpran Ep 5 rooftop scene, literally anytime I hear the Dark Blue Kiss violin. Can I count all of 2Gether as just one big music moment?
What’s a popular heterosexual text that you would like to see adapted into a BL/GL?
There are a number of Shakespeare plays that I think would be fun like Twelfth Night or A Midsummer Night’s Dream (I’m sure someone with more Shakespeare knowledge could list a ton more). 10 Things I Hate About You (or The Taming of the Shrew) could also be a good one. And more generally speaking, I would really love to see more crime dramas (especially a GL crime drama with a female-lead cast but that’s probably not going to happen anytime soon).
A scene from a BL that always makes you laugh?
Literally any scene in Kinnporsche where Porsche is being... you know, Porsche. Apo just has the goofiest mannerisms and facial expressions, it cracks me up every time. (This is often the case for Sammy too, her facial expressions give me life.)
Biggest disappointment?
Oh man, hope I don’t get flack for this but… Not Me is somehow the show that both impressed and disappointed me the most this year. I could rant for hours (and have, in fact, done so with my friends) about what I personally think they did well versus what I think they did poorly. I’m sure it’s in large part cause and effect. I’m more disappointed by Not Me than by shows that are just straight up awful because it has so many good aspects that it really makes the bad aspects stand out.
What two random BL/GL characters would make hilarious exes?
It would be kinda hilarious if two characters who were played by the same actor dated the same character. Like Third from TOL and Sean from Not Me being exes. (Just imagine Third trying to move on from Khai… by dating a guy that looks exactly like him. And the jealousy potential of ‘What does he have that I don’t? We’re practically identical!’. Just saying. There’s some fanfic potential here 😉)
Who would be the funniest person to watch a BL/GL in its entirety and which one would you make them watch?
Are we talking a real person or a fictional person? Because I, for one, think Tankhun would be an amazing watch-buddy. But if we’re talking about real people, I recently binged Theory Of Love with a friend of mine and I’m planning on (re)watching Bad Buddy with another friend soon!
Best wardrobe moment and/or character wardrobe from a BL/GL?
Khai from Theory of Love and Tankhun from Kinnporsche have the best wardrobes, hands down. As far as wardrobe moments go, there’s the scene of Jaeyoung doing his dramatic entrance in a leather jacket, making Sangwoo do a double take while one of my all-time favourite OSTs plays in the background. And there’s also this cute GL scene Stupid Boys Stupid Love where Tu does a little twirl in this flowy dress while Thanh watches her with heart eyes, which is a classic and I adore it!
