I'm Glad I Discovered Tumblr Because Here I Can Give A Full Fleshed Out Breakdown Of My Thoughts.

Can y'all tell I'm in my miraculous phase again

POV the gang catches you posting MEROBIBA in 2025.

this week has been suuuuper busy, with auditions, casting the show, a football game, a band competition, etc. but today we're gonna like debrief and be productive in a fun, homey sense.

adrien agreste will NOT be the boyfriend you’re bringing to the girls sleepover movie night. he will NOT be an accomplice to that kind of behavior. he loves and prioritizes friendship far too deeply to even step foot into the sacred space of a girls’ night. he would rather chain himself to a tree ella-enchanted style than compromise the security of a friendship ritual. he’s not coming. stop asking.

What if I like, hibernated for this year? I wanna wake up 2026 and someone fill me in on all the shit that happened

LOUD REPOST

Speaking of fancasts since I saw your post with that HTTYD fancast that’s terribly generic: I saw this viral collage of Taylor Zakhar Perez and Sabrina Carpenter as Flynn and Rapunzel and as someone who witnessed the entire discourse of Avantika getting racially motivated harassment from a fancast, it’s really suspicious to me that TZP, a brown skinned Latino man is an okay fancast for Flynn but not a brown skinned Indian woman 🤨

We can't let a brown actress play a princess but are totally okay with casting a brown actor to play a thief.

This brings back when these designs of Flynn were considered before getting the one we got and were criticized because of the "romani bandit" stereotype.

The "Rapunzel is german" argument is mute because they wanted non german actors to play the character. Most of Disney's fairy tale films all take place in a vaguely medieval setting that in the Little Mermaid, Eric's kingdom takes place in a tropical setting as shown by palm trees in the background, indicating a tropical European location like somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea yet people think it takes place in Denmark because the original fairy tale was written by a Danish closeted author.

Rapunzel wasn't even blonde, she's a natural brunet who turned blonde because of the flower's magic. The casting of a brown actress to play Rapunzel would be fine since she would still be blonde either dying or wigs because that's the character's signature trait.

I genuinely care very little of the live action Tangled at the moment since it's just announced with the guy who made Greatest Showman to direct and that casting hasn't been done yet.

But if Disney were to commit to an Indian take on Rapunzel, make the cast and setting Indian. A minor gripe I had with the live action Aladdin is that they could've went full Bollywood but didn't, so might as well make Tangled into a fantastical film.

While we at it, why not cast Flynn as a woman just to spite the red pill chokers? Fem Flynn taking on a male thief persona to hide her identity would be a unique take for the character.

Also if you regularly work with kids/teens I cannot stress how important it is that you know someone who's like really into lame emo junk. There was a girl my dad was working with who just flat out refused to talk to adults or anyone at all and one day I was there and I saw her wearing a homemade bracelet that had beads that said YLDNDAHFHHACYCSYCDAYDKK and since I was also once a 14 year old making niche homemade mcr merch I was like "oh my god you like dnd Audrey Hepburn Fangoria Harry Houdini and croquet you cant swim you can't dance and you dont know karate!!!" and she looked at me like I'd said literal magic words and now we talk about music all the time

this!!!
