If Ivy Pearson has 1000 fans I’m one of them if Ivy Pearson has 100 fans I’m one of them if Ivy Pearson has 10 fans I’m one of them if Ivy Pearson has 1 fan that’s me if Ivy Pearson has no fans it means I’m gone from this world

there is something SO funny with like. okay so listen i know a major criticism of the original 1937 snow white is that our titular character is very passive in the film. she just kinda lets things happen to her. which i understand as a criticism despite that kinda being the Basic Fairytale Structure. i get it. i do. esp since her main thing is wishing for someone else to come get her. which i've defended in the past as not explicitly anti-feminist since she's literally an abuse victim child who has been made to take care of an entire castle solely by herself and blah blah you've all heard me fistfight for this movie before

all that to say. it's really funny to me that the snow white reboot that nobody cares about has given her a new #feminist anthem but called it "waiting on a wish." in contrast to "i'm wishing." they changed it from the active tense to the passive. they made it more passive than it was initially. and again i know it's just a Title thing, that the og "i'm wishing" is also her being passive. but it's so funny. and so lowkey symbolic of the disney reboots' failed Updating™ of the source material. that they changed the active tense to passive. in trying to make her more #girlboss. am i making sense

Maybe it's somewhere in the novel but how old is Dr. Preobrazhensky anyways? He's always struck me as mid 70s, but maybe his hair was just greying early on lol

Some of the characters have ages listed in the book. Preobrazhensky is 60 years old. And yes, as I remember, the story says that he has gray hair, a bushy mustache and beard.

Just imagine Henry Jekyll or Edward Hyde... but with a mustache. Oh, or a beard!

FLAPPER FANNY SAYS, by Anericn cartoonist, Ethel Hays (1892-1989).

I'm wondering if there's ever been a prostitute in all of London who would genuinely want to have sex with Edward Hyde?

Well, that is, she would have a fetish for his unusual appearance. Edward Hyde is, in fact, a true monter fucker dream!

Usually, in many films, the girl is terrified of Hyde. But I want to see a film adaptation where a girl would have an orgasm from his skin-chilling kisses, his animal scent, his hairy pale body, his growling and hissing. She would have felt a primal, animal attraction to him.

Next to her, he would whisper: "How wet you are, my dear. Let me lick and eat you to lighten your burden..."

P.S. Okay, so far I've only remembered a Soviet film adaptation where a girl wouldn't mind having sex with Hyde.

Bad Ed
