My humble plea for people to cross-post their meta & other fannish nonfiction to ao3, and tag it with “meta analysis” so I can find it and adore it
I have seen a lot of reviews for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish mention Jack Horner in the context of how refreshing it was to get a villain who is just bad, for once. Without any tragic backstory or anything.
I think it is actually deeper than just "refreshing" though.
I think that when we contrast him, in particular, with Perrito, who has an incredibly dark and tragic backstory and yet is still kind and caring to the world around him and other people he meets, we get an important message that we don't get enough of: kindness is a choice. And so is cruelty. No tragic backstory should excuse your horrible conscious actions. Your choices and your actions are your responsibility and your alone.
In an era when we have popular characters who commit mass genocide on planetary scales and their actions are somehow excused because their parents had gotten a divorce and their uncle was mean to them once, this is a crucial message to get. And a refreshing one indeed.
helen brand not only not blinking at blanc's weird phrases but giving some of her own ("you got a flat tire" in reference to his shoe is at least one example) is true southern representation
It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
Time flies, doesn't it.
This is an appreciation post for the air nomads ✨️✨️ I like to think bison are a lot more diverse, and are very beloved and decorated by their owners. Sometimes it’s boring in the sky too, so pinwheels and kites are added for bending fun :)
The babies can’t do much but there are sometimes bison rides for the elderly and children (or open to anyone, really.) I imagine sky bison are a lot like yaks, who naturally shed an undercoat in spring that can be used for fabric. Spring is absolutely HORRIBLE for allergies though
And also the gaang! sharing aangs culture ect by making use of appa’s fur and trying to deal with the pesky lemurs lol

everyone is talking about Blanc calling Marta after Glass Onion, but can we imagine him coming home and telling Philip everything.
