barbie movie is just the lego movie but for girls

#like actually not as a meme that’s its goal why are u guys like ‘this is so feminism’ #don’t get me wrong i ❤️ the lego movie and i’m v excited for barbie. but this is just a remake of the lego movie but for girls instead of bo #plot is plato’s allegory of the cave #both are advertising a wildly popular children’s toy #they even both have will ferrell as the evil exec guy trying to shut down the realization #like. they’re the same movie. just one is pink and one is blue #u GUYS it’s PLATO’S ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE!!!!! and i keep SAYING this and everybody keeps saying ‘yeah yeah sol’ #bc they’re tired of me ranting about plato. valid. but this is the excessively academic and egotistical website! cmon guys! #why haven’t you been saying this!!!!

The funniest thing in the world to me is when people write mermaids that are bothered by humans eating fish. Like do you think fish don’t eat each other? The ocean is full of little freaks that will eat whatever or whoever the fuck will fit in their mouths. If the mermaids haven’t been eating fish this whole time what do you think they’ve been eating? If the answer is humans, that doesn’t make it any less funny. They’ll eat the species that looks like the top half of them but won’t eat a species that looks like the bottom half? Peak comedy.

#mermaids #mythical creatures #edit: #okay a lot of you have had good ideas about why mermaids possibly would be bothered by humans eating fish #so i will amend my original statement to say it’s funny and it doesn’t make any sense #unless you outright in-universe explain it #like don’t just fall back on the excuse of bUT tHeIR OUr unDERsEa BrOTherS #make it a part of their culture or physiology #if they haven’t been eating fish explain what they HAVE been eating and why #make it interesting

Bruce Wayne, drunk and full on Brucie mood in the middle of a gala: You know, that accent doesn’t really fit in around here. It’s cute. Where are you from?

Clark, internally debating every life choice that led him to this moment: I’m from Smallville. Kansas.

Bruce, leaning closer to Clark with a flirty smile: Oh you’re cute and funny. You know, I like that in a man.

Clark, very confused but trying to just go along with it: Thank you??

Bruce: I mean, everyone knows that Kansas isn’t real but I do always enjoy a good laugh.

Clark: What.

Bruce: What? Everyone knows that Kansas was made up for Wizard of Oz.

Clark, unsure if Bruce is fucking with him or if he’s just really deep into this dumb act: Bruce, Kansas is a real place. It’s one of the 50 states that make up America.

Bruce, tilting his head a little confused: There’s 50 states? Since when?

i love how fraught and complicated discourse around various utena characters ‘dying’ is when anthy is literally stabbed to death eternally by a million swords imbued with human hatred. and then utena gets stabbed to death by them also. like. ‘death’ is incredibly interesting in rgu because most of the time it’s this ambiguous figurative thing that has interesting implications re: ohtori as a closed-off world one can escape. we are all trapped in our coffins. mamiya is the only named character with a grave. nemuro memorial hall functions as one all the same. ruka is implied to have died in the hospital— was he dead all along? who was the boy we saw for these two episodes? is this dead boy the same boy, or is this just another coincidence from the shadow girls, cutting like a knife? it’s heavily implied that akio and anthy murder kanae by poisoning her, adding to the previous implication that they were poisoning mr ohtori too, but there are no perceptible consequences of this. kanae’s absence is not felt. she’s fed an apple slice. what happens to the bodies? we know what happened to the 100 boys, but what about everyone else? and so on and so forth. ‘death’ is a tricky thing in utena, i think it’s constantly functioning on figurative and literal levels in very different ways for very different purposes. dios died. dios was dying. dios didn’t die. he grew up. etc etc

#what am i trying to say here? #idk! think about all of the pieces you have #dying is complicated in ohtori in countless different ways #and i find it boring to see so much ‘this character is dead and that’s it’ stuff #when death is used farrrrrrr more figuratively than some ppl give credit for #and i think the movie too does wonderful things with death #and what ‘dying’ really means #being disbelieved. being forgotten. being rejected. haunting despite this #much more interesting to think about wrt commentary on abusive relationships than it is #to think about what?? oh me when my brother died but plot twist he’s alive and can walk on this road all cool. like????? #akio doesn’t have the power to make himself revenant #he THINKS he does and he absolutely has power when he’s alive and he imbues that power with such meaning that it does live on after him #but ANTHY. anthy is the one struggling with herself and her feelings and the impact of trauma and abuse (that power!!) in aou #he’s dead? he died? she brought him back through her memories? or she’s left him (metaphorical death) and he’s haunting her?? #all such interesting interpretations #i haven’t mentioned touga bc i don’t have the energy today. if dead and just illusion of others memories then why active. why awful #like in aou akio is only Obviously scummy when he’s alive. his illusory self is based upon anthy’s love for him #if anime!touga is nothing more than nanami/whoever’s memories of him before he died……. why does he actively choose to suck again and again #like nanami wouldn’t do that. unless it was meant to be a subconscious thing like ooo he’s dead all along but that’s not what her arc is #it’s not ‘he’s been dead all along’ literally or figuratively. it’s ‘he’s unsafe and i don’t want him’ #sigh. once again i am asking people to think about nanami and touga’s dynamic through touga’s eyes #it’s so interesting to me how people forget to consider his motivations or feelings on ANYTHING #like sure his motivations and feelings are scummy but they’re interesting!!!!! they intrigue me!!!! #compel me even #anyway ignore how i said i didn’t have the energy for this and then typed it all out anyway #dais.txt

I’ve been lurking in the 911 tags for only a week and I’m already exhausted of most b*ddie shippers holy shit

#the annoying ones know who they are #this isn’t a personal attack #I truly don’t want them to become canon out of spite #why even tag your hate in the goddam tag dedicated to another ship #Tommy’s tag has a lot of hate and people talking about eddie how there’s clues etc etc #I haven’t been deeply involved in fandoms in the last few years for this exact reason #when it becomes too meta it kinda ruins it for me #people digging through interviews and trying to find evidence in situations that weren’t intended that way in the writing drains you #sorry to break it to you #but Bucky is into tommy and was since the beginning of meeting him #yall going #well actually #he’s in love with eddie but doesn’t know and misplaces it with Tommy #is tiring #I don’t know if b*ddie will be canon but not everything has to be about romance with them #they seem to have a connection that goes even deeper than romance #having them be a couple just kinda irks me #they don’t need to be two bros sitting in a bathtub five feet apart but they seem like soulmates in a way that I don’t see as romantic #I say as an aromantic person too #deep connections can be just as intense and interesting if even more than coupling up #obviously not tagging the ship name cause I’d be lynched if I do #and again this isn’t about the actual ship it’s more about the fandom and how they feel entitled to claim theories as facts #lety rambles #tommy kinard #tevan #tuck #911 #911 abc #911 show #bucktommy

Me through most of Boom: Wow, this is a really solid dramatic episode.

Me when Moffat needlessly sprinkles in anti-faith sentiments without specifying that it’s blind faith in bad things that the Doctor doesn’t like, which makes it come off like the Doctor is just against religion generally:

#i get it edgelord you don’t care for religion. you don’t have to alienate religious members of the audience. #i at least appreciated that the doctor agreed with splice that gone and dead are different things and told her to keep the faith #but like. he immediately thereafter still tells mundy that he doesn’t like faith and spent the whole episode disparaging it. #which just feels so wrong for a show that’s supposed to be open minded about the beliefs and cultures all across the universe #i hate when writers gratuitously make the doctor take a hard and broad stance on something that he would NOT #reminds me of s8 when twelve suddenly hated all soldiers #as if some of his closest friends haven’t been soldiers? brigadier? benton and yates? sara? #big difference between corrupt military and literally every soldier #the same way there is a big difference between a corrupt religious organization or individuals who use religion as an excuse for cruelty #and like. ALL faith and the idea of having a faith that you live by whatsoever. #just because his comments were aimed at something corrupt doesn’t mean they weren’t WAY too sweeping as if he meant it on the whole #i definitely enjoyed the bulk of the episode but that just felt like it was done in bad faith and made me uncomfortable #and i just read moffat’s comment on the thoughts and prayers thing and UGH #i get why there are circumstances in which that can feel hollow — usually if it’s coming from a corporation that could actually do something #but can we not villainize all the normal people who genuinely mean that with love? #people who often CAN’T do anything but say prayers for you? #that IS a legitimate response and a legitimate action #someone can’t physically aid you but cares to take the time to talk to the God of the universe about you and your need and plead for you #don’t tell me that isn’t love or that it’s not really doing anything #sometimes that’s all you CAN do and it’s more than people give it credit for #blatant disregard and willful misunderstanding of faith like this just rub me wrong #it’s painting with a broad brush and it’s close minded #and yes i’m gonna post this. i’m feeling controversial. #my love/aggravation relationship with moffat continues #in the wise words of kira nerys. if you don’t have faith you can’t understand it and if you do then no explanation is necessary. #doctor who #dw critical #spoilers #dw spoilers

okay so this is not about anything specific just a response to some back-and-forths i've been been seeing recently but it can be true that some americans are entitled and ignorant when encountering other cultures AND that some europeans have a superiority complex towards americans that make them hair triggered against any comment from americans about their experience in europe. like trust that i really try hard to see both sides, but sometimes, when an american talks about their experience in europe or (god forbid) complains about it, some europeans will respond with such vitriol and condescension that really isn't warranted in the slightest. in the end, we really are so much more alike than we are different. people are the same everywhere, they really really are. everyone complains, everyone shit talks, everyone has their own form of ignorance. it's just that the particular flavour changes from place to place. everyone is so defensive and i don't get why we have such violent reactions when talking about cultural differences. please, can we stop the fighting it's so pointless.

#OBVIOUSLY ik not all of europe is the same #obviously #but like i do think about this a lot bc #yeah a lot of americans do make fools of themselves #but it's just as foolish when europeans try and clap back by making fun of americans for things that are out of their control #like #why are people like this i really don't get it #i saw some girl on tt say that it was confusing to her that french ppl would introduce themselves as being from #the 35 or the 91 bc… if you haven’t been hearing it your whole life it’s not easy to remember a list of numbers that’s only kinda relevant #like day to day #she wasn’t mean she was just like it’s a bit frustrating because if they introduced with their region #or the name of their department i would know it but its just harder for me as a foreigner to remember all the numbers #(side note but like idk if this is universal but i never remember numbers in french like i have to say the english numbers outloud) #(like house numbers or phone numbers or stuff like that idk why that is) #and then some french woman stitched her essentially saying well if you can’t remember the numbers why don’t you go back to your country #like… #that was not a proportionate response #like at all

one of the worst feelings ever is wanting to write but your hands hurt too much or the words just don’t want to work so you just sit there staring at a half finished doc with tears in your eyes bc you want to write and you need to write but everything is telling you that you can’t

#and that you’re a terrible writer and that no one cares aaaaaaand imposter syndrome kicks in and you just feel like crap #bc all your friends have been wriying recejtky so why can’t you??? cause they’re bETTER THAN YOU #lol idk why my head is so bad today #the feelings of inferiority and emptiness and idk worthlessness are strong and i hate it but i can’t stop it #i just wanna write!!! and like what i write!!! #but i Can’t and i haven’t liked anything i’ve written in Months and ugh i hate not being able to d something i wanna do #oh and now i’m crying??? why the frick am i cRYING litetally why is typing this making me Worse #sorry guys needed to rant #the inadequacy was strong today #something something students keep telling me how much they dislike me or how i’m whiny for asking them to be respectful and like #i Know i shouldn’t compare myself to my friends but gosh it’s hard when they’re all like. so much better than me. #and i don’t have a lot of time to be on tumblr bc of work so i just feel like i’m watching everything from afar and it’s no one’s fault but #my brain’s like no one is Doing anything it’s just my brain being dumb and i can’t stand it and I want to stop feeling empty and like i’m #missing a part of myself and like the words i write don’t matter gOD why can’t i just feel happy with where i am and not care what the kids #who hate me say or realize that no one cares that i’m not on much like i’m still Here and trying to interact it’s not like everyone hates me #for being busy or for liking side characters more than the main characters and just— #sorry #that felt good actually #idk what came over me #imma just. imma shower. then maybe delete my tags #sorry if anyone got this far aT ALL grace is either asleep or trying to sleep so i don’t wanna bother them since they slept poorly last nigh #okay done now for real sorry delete tags later sorry if you saw this and how freaking messed up ky freaking brain is

I think everyone blaming the spinoff for Young Sheldon being different is only doing so because it is easier to blame the spinoff than the natural consequence of the show being in its SEVENTH SEASON… having to work quickly after the writers strike/actors strike… and the simple fact that until George buys the farm, Sheldon is basically at his final development point already and all his real development can be found in his very popular series that we saw already.

#young Sheldon #I cannot let chat know I fw Young Sheldon #and yet… #listen I am a Georgie and Mandy truther they are my favorite characters - #but also did you guys miss when the show was SCRAMBLING last season to give Sheldon shit to do #this is not a S7 problem #it’s just more notable now #this has been a bit of an issue for a while #it’s why they doubled down on the family #and for the record unless this episode (that I haven’t seen yet) #changes the count desperately #I think Meemaw still has the most meaningful screentime this season #like do Georgie and Mandy suddenly start getting stuff to do? Yeah - #but they basically were background until Episode 6 #like think about this - REALLY remember - I know it’s hard bc S7 is short and kinda boring #but they had basically NO screentime until their wedding plot kicked off #I’d say the first three episodes were Mary and Sheldon heavy #with consistent Meemaw focus #that’s why - Meemaw is basically the one character always in some focus in these final episodes #where as I think Georgie and Mandy get like four couple scenes in five episodes that last about a minute or so #Sheldon took a backseat for the wedding but still had a big character reveal - then we see his college choices #that’s about all you CAN do with him until George dies.

one day i will write my fic idea where jal are kind of weird towards each other after the cotillion drama has died down. and they end up having a very convoluted conversation about why mal didn’t tell jay she wanted to go back to the isle…….

#jays like you KNOW i would’ve come with you. and mal’s like that’s exactly why i didn’t say anything #bc you’re so happy here. with the roar team & all the cheerleaders want you. and you’re enjoying yourself #and jays like yeah im faking a lot of it! that’s what i do! i lie! i cheat! i play pretend! #and they are both so mad at each other for not understanding that the other has been Suffering #but they haven’t clocked on bc they themselves have been too busy Suffering #and in my head this takes place on the balcony (me and jal balcony motif) at belles castle? i think? #wherever mal watches the sea for uma with binoculars in d3 #and it’s pouring with rain & jays trying to get mal to go inside #and then he turns to go back inside after their convo & doesnt check if mal’s following him or not #gah. i wish my brain would let me write this i’ve had the idea for SO LONG #jal
