“it feels a lot lighter!”
The imagery of the blonde, explicitly gay ghost dancing in the Dirty Candy sequences of Julie and the Phantoms is like Kenny Ortega rectifying what was oppressed out of Ryan Evans by having the ghost of it dance with a figure both literally based on Sharpay and in-universe is nostalgia for the 2000′s Looks she inspired……..Ryan was always gay but now his explicit gayness finally gets to dance with the resurrected spirit of Sharpay….in an episode named Finally, Free….Kenny Ortega knows he’s 70 years old, and that he lived through the 50′s and 60′s as a gay youth, that worked on Pretty in Pink with a closeted Duckie and made countless gay iconography, and now, at last, in a g rated kids SHOW he finally gets to make the explicit message, and be in conversation with the past…….”I was just doing that for you guys” I KNOW YOU WERE, BABY, AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR IT!
I’m rereading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and I forgot how much fun it was! love Reepicheep and his constant longing for Aslan’s Country, to the point where he’s willing to die for it; his tendency to always want to do the honorable and knightly thing. (I find all the “bother Reepicheep” comments pretty hilarious, it’s like whenever he opens his mouth they’re forced to agree with him because he makes everyone else sound cowardly and dishonorable in comparison) And then there’s Caspian, always caught up between being king and being a boy, Lucy and Edmund enjoying everything in general and feeling so at home, Eustace annoying and being annoyed by everyone before Dragon Island—I specifically love his diary entries—and those little moments that you don’t get as much of in the other books because usually there’s some kind of important quest or war going on... like hearing them talk about what it will be like to fall over the world’s edge: Reep is thrilled by the idea, Eustace is understandably confused (“are these people flat earthers?” lol) and Caspian just wants to go to a “round like a ball” world which is apparently only a thing in fairytales.
Gilbert: *takes Anne’s hand*
Anne: What was that?
Gilbert: Affection
Anne: Ew
Anne: Do it again
man I wish the original movie was more like this disney cruise line stage musical, who knew fucking Woody Toy Story actually had the biggest banger of a threatening villain-esque disney song?!
Ok, I'm not okay. I just saw someone on TikTok saying that the worst thing is that we'll keep getting older, but the fictional characters we love won't grow, they will stay their age.
So I just realized that Edmund was 18-19 in the last book of the chronicles of Narnia and I'm 17 rn. I will be 18 next year and then 19 soon. Now I just wanna cry in my bed.
don’t you ever find yourself talking about how much edmund’s life changed after he was manipulated by the white witch? besides from becoming a king in a magical land where animals could talk he always tried to do his best to prove himself that he had changed and he was still chased by the fact that he almost hurt his family, even when everyone had already forgive him, he felt like he wasn’t doing enough and it physically hurts to know that. i think i proved my point
I get harry that harry wanted to name his kids after people he loved and people who died protecting him. I totally get that feeling of gratitude but what bugs me is the choice of names.
Sirius, James and Lily? Justified.
But Albus Severus? Really? One of them literally protected him to kill him in the end and the other one bullied him and his friends. They may deserve some recognition but didn’t they already get a hell lot of recognition?!
What about the other people who actually gave away their lives to protect Harry without demanding anything in return. They just fought selflessly to protect their world and their loved ones and got no recognition what so ever.
17 year old Cedric Diggory trying to make his parents proud.
18 year old Regulus Black trying to right the wrong of his ways.
Alastor Moody trying to protect the only hope left in the world he’s grown old protecting.
Ted Tonks trying to protect his wife and daughter in a world where his kind are in grave danger.
20 year old Fred Weasley trying to protect his family, and fighting for what is right and for the kind messy haired boy who’s now become family.
38 year old Remus Lupin trying to protect his best friends’ (who he couldn’t protect) son and to make the world a better place for his own son.
25 year old NymphadoraTonks trying to make a world a better place for her son, fighting for her dad and against the unfair practice.
17 year old Lavender Brown doing what she felt is right.
16 year old Colin creevy trying to protect his childhood idol and not caring if he’s underage because this is what he feels is correct.
And 50 other people who we don’t even know the names of because Harry doesn’t bother finding out. And Rebeus Hagrid? He made Harry a birthday cake and bought him an owl for his 11th birthday and he didn’t even know him. He loved everyone unconditionally and was extremely loyal even after all he’s gone through. That man deserves the world. Hagrid deserves more recognition than he ever got by anyone (be it Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dmbledore and the whole wizarding community).
These people are the real heroes and they don’t deserve to be forgotten.
Do you also feel like this sometimes?
I cannot fucking believe how much I'm losing my mind right now over soy sauce history. I'll tell all of you about it after I finish this essay because I need to un-distract myself enough to finish it but what the fuck? What the fuck is going on? I'm losing my fucking mind.
Tumblr is my guilty pleasure if you know me on real life you don't. I am not her.
