Umm...you forgot the real OTP of the show lol 😂

Sometimes, when the universe aligns correctly, a show will give me a ship that I ADORE. One that just sweeps me up and enthralls me and makes me want to MAKE THINGS for it because my love is just so overwhelming that I need to DO SOMETHING with it. 

Shadow and Bone gave me THREE…

Not to mention live action Belle monopolises the washing fountain with her invention, if she wants acceptance then perhaps don't make their lives harder in the effort of making yours easier.

Even with the Gaston rejection, the OG Belle is very subtle and twists it into 'I don't deserve you,' etch very polite refusals that try to keep her on good terms and seem sympathetic. Live action Belle from what I remember is quite blunt and forceful about it (not saying women should have to step around mens egos, but Belle is in a small town, every word and action is being noted on- how she rejects someone included.)

The closest OG gets to outright insulting the town is 'poor provincial town,' 'there must be more than this provincial life.' Otherwise, no real assholishness.

tell me about 2017 Belle being condescending to the villagers because I don't remember that myself and you always yell about your anger towards the remake in the best way

Okay so there’s a part of this that’s just “context got changed” but also some direct choreography got changed that really makes her seem... well, rude. 

For the “changed context” option, part of my discussion in this previous post is that, when Belle is saying the “little town fill of little people” line, she’s strolling down the hill from her cottage towards the town. She’s not in town yet, so likely no one hears this line. But in the remake, their cottage is in the middle of town, so she’s right there, in town, singing/talking at the top of her lungs for everyone to hear her. So that right there is the “worst” insult in the song, sung loud for the whole town to hear her.

For the changed choreography, well, I can’t put myself through watching the song again, but Emma Watson’s Belle absolutely exudes snobby “not like other girls” energy. She walks along a wall where other women are doing their washing, and expects the women to move their washing for her to walk by or else it looks like she’ll stomp on it (which they do, they move their washing while giving her very irritated looks, but she completely doesn’t even acknowledge them.) Her entire choreography in this sequence is very aloof and set apart from most of the village, whereas the OG movie had her being a part of the village just gracefully acting unaware. The change is evident; while in the OG it’s like the town thinks Belle is odd while Belle simply shrugs it off, the remake Belle has this energy of “oh well you’re just as bad” in the worst way. She acts like she’s superior to them and that their treatment of her proves as such. The only person she seems to try and connect with is a girl that she tries to teach to read (in a rare moment of the remake improving upon the OG) but she goes right back to haughty arrogance “I’m better than all of you!” when they dump her laundry out of the barrel. (Ironic, considering her earlier treatment of the other ladies and their washing.)

In conclusion, the animated!Belle’s attitude towards her town seems to be “I know they think I’m odd, but it won’t matter, someday I’ll have an adventure!” while remake!Belle’s attitude comes off as “I’m better than all of them, and that’s why they treat me like they do. Also I would like an adventure.”

This isn’t saying that animated!Belle is blissfully unaware, because she’s not - she knows that they think she’s odd! And she’s not a pushover. She stands up to them when they try to take her father away. It’s just that remake!Belle won’t put up with it but reacts to it like “well I’ll give them a reason to dislike me!” and that doesn’t change at all throughout the movie. Instead, the excuse is that “it’s okay because the villagers were under a curse too! Belle broke the curse! She’s their hero” which almost comes across as well the snobby girl was right all along.

Thanks for the ask!

So. Today in class we assigned Macbeth roles to students to read. When I asked the class who wants to be Lady Macbeth, a young man raised his hand. I kind of stared at him like “Lady Macbeth,” and he nodded like “I know what I’m about ma’am.” So then the student who ended up as Macbeth raised his hand and said “HE’S THE ONE, HE’S MY WIFE!” So I said “yeah sure why not,” and the entire class period they were blowing kisses to each other and winking at each other, and every now and then Macbeth would say “I’m the luckiest man on Earth” and Lady Macbeth would put a hand to his chest, and be like “BABE!”.

I just stared at them, knowing that they CLEARLY have never read ‘Macbeth’ before, so… all this lovey dovey… I don’t know if I have the heart to tell them the truth.

I'm 25 and when I talk to my teenage work colleagues I think 'little baby, too pure and good. I must protect from the asshole customers.'

One customer made a joke about me being so protective like 'oh, you are their work wife.'

No! No! No! I told her 'I see myself as their work parent, they are young and dont know how to set boundaries with management etch, so I've made it my responsibility to help them with all of that. Because they are young and for most this is their first job. I know you were joking, but I found your comment deeply uncomfortable.'

Woman apologised.

Anyone who sees an eighteen year old and thinks romantically...avoid.

not to hop in on the Hottest Discourse but:

age gaps aren’t inherently bad between adults, but they are incredibly suspect in instances where one party has significantly more agency and experience due to their age. a thirty year old dating a forty year old, for instance, isn’t all that big a deal. but an eighteen year old should be VERY suspicious of a thirty year old wanting to get with them. they’ve had twelve years to establish themselves as an adult. an eighteen year old has had maybe a few months to do so.

i’m saying this as a person who briefly dated a thirty year old at age 19 (it wasn’t good lol), and also as a person with happily married parents who have a 12 year age gap. the difference is that my mom was in her thirties when she met my dad; she’d had plenty of time to find a career and a name for herself in the world.

stay safe, love urself, try to make good decisions but don’t beat yourself up if you’ve ever been the victim of an unbalanced or abusive relationship

Does the 15 minutes late rule apply? Could you screenshot it and be like...they didnt show up lol

me when the professor takes 6 minutes to let me in the zoom classroom: what the fuck is this. what do you think this is, an online version of Waiting For Godot?

Come with me, friends…

To this house. Not a contemporary house, and the pentagons of those two windows on the left are a little unusual, but not particularly notable.

The sides of the steps to the front entrances are painted purple. That’s a little interesting.

Oh?

OHHHH YEEEESSSSSSS

POUR THAT PURPLE CARPET ON ME BABY (also that fireplace FUCKS)

You thought you’d bring your own furniture to this house? No. Only built-in seating covered with orange-pattered carpet in the purple living room.

This is where things start to get a little surreal to me. This house was built in 1975. But look how bright and new that carpet looks! It still matches the light fixture! And it’s in the kitchen! It looks like it was never used (weird), or that it was REPLACED recently (WEIRDER BY FAR).

This is actually a lovely bright dining space, if you can ignore the purple carpet of the living room running up against the blue carpet of the kitchen. As sometimes happens in a house.

That’s a new toilet. And that’s purple carpet in the bathroom. And a pink sink where the material reminds me of tiny independent movie theaters or hole-in the wall restaurants.

The only way to move between the three floors of this house, friends and foes. I have one drink and I’m sleeping on the orange built-in seating for my safety.

And now…pink. (And some sliding doors which I hope open onto a balcony but I don’t SEE anything like a balcony railing.)

Stepping back, I’m still having trouble interpreting this room. My best guess is that it’s the main bedroom, with a semi-public area at the top of the stairs and then this is the more private area where the bed would go. But it’s not actually walled off. The decorative light switch cover shaped like a regular house is a nice touch.

Friends…

This is a lot. I genuinely now start to think that this house was inhabited by beings that DID NOT USE BATHROOMS nor did they UNDERSTAND what bathrooms were used for. That carpet is so bright! So fluffy! It shouldn’t look that way if it’s original, and WHO WOULD HAVE MADE THIS DECISION MORE THAN ONCE??? And it. It doesn’t even match the shade of pink around the tub. And the blue tile in the tub doesn’t match anything. Th…the shower head. Is there. But there is no place to hang a curtain around the tub. IN A CARPETED BATHROOM. There are so many signs of remodeling, and yet…the bathroom is still…this. 

Non-Euclidian closet. First non-carpeted room we have seen.

I run from the non-Euclidean closet to face the stairs, which I fall down headfirst, dying instantly.

Ah, the lower level. There’s another sink in another carpeted area, but at least the built-in furniture isn’t carpeted. It’s fine.

IT’S FINE

This bedroom makes me think of dorm rooms, but from a bad alternate timeline.

This bedroom doesn’t have carpet, but rather a portal to a different alternate universe.

Your best chance for normality in this house.

At least the children’s toilet room isn’t carpeted? I’ve gotta count this as a win at this point. I’m blocking the sink and counter from my mind. I do not see it.

It’s fine. Oh THERE’S the balcony. …it has no railing. Friends and foes, I really think I’d need my balcony to have railings in this house. But I guess if you’re an incorporeal being from another dimension who loves carpet, it wouldn’t really matter.

Thank you for journeying with me. 

(Btw it sold for about $160,000.)

For those of us in the UK, exactly how much roughly is a stick of butter?

When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay

Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe

4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger

1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix

1 TBs ketchup

1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,

1 Tbs bbq sauce

1 Tbs steak sauce

1 egg

mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)

You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

One thing I find quite funny is the 'even ones prone to hysterics in front of the queen.'

Like...nah, dude.

She couldnt breathe.

You see Prudence being strapped into the corset.

You see her fanning herself struggling to breathe before the introduction.

You see her unable to move or bend.

Then she passes out.

Not hysterics or nerves but her mother being a bloody bastard with the 'beauty is pain,' logic.

Anthony: Someone must guard my poor sister from the bucks and pinks,ensure her virtue remains free of any kind of defilement.

Siena: Daphne is fortunate. Every woman is not afforded such gallant protection.

Anthony: Every woman's not a lady.

Siena flips over in annoyance.

Me:

She also legit waited a damn long time and we see her put him down gently about it over a dozen times before she reaches that point of calling him on it as aggressively as he hits on her.

Keep in mind she is concerned and creeped enough to warn Amy not to be alone with him. Amy's words in the treasure hunt, "when I joined the group Penny told me to never get in a car alone with you.'

This wasn't Penny being mean. This was Penny feeling once again threatened and violated by his behaviour- to the point of warning other women- and snapping.

What I don't and will never get is how she could set another woman up with him. Even Bernadette questions it when she sees the video talking about Howard's past and realises the extent of Penny's knowledge.

Still pisses me off when I watch Penny being made to feel bad because she told off Howard for being a total creep….she did nothing wrong, so she hurt him? And what? He deserved it and he definitely deserved the broken nose he got. Penny is a queen and if she yells at you you most definitely deserve it. I’m not even sorry

If I am required to provide the emotional labour of being friendly and shit to my customers, then they should have to do the same and provide me with interesting conversations and news of the outside world.

A lot of adulthood is shouting “AUGH MY LAUNDRY” hours after you put it in the washer/dryer and running to go fetch it

[impossiblyspookydestiny]

the pride and prejudice musical we deserve:

darcy doesn’t sing a single note even during conversations where everyone else is singing at him that is until the argument following his first attempt at proposing to lizzy where you can see his restraint fall away

his first big solo is the letter he writes her

gelsey bell is mary and the unofficial narrator and she sits down at her piano to describe whats going on but before she can ever reveal her feelings on the matter, starting with that gelsey bell scream, mr bennet comes over and does the whole ‘that’s nice dear but give someone else a turn’

mr wickham has this huge ballad about how darcy ruined his life and its super melodramatic and touching

mr collins proposal to lizzy is an absolute bop that he gets so into he forgets for a moment what he’s doing he’s just owning the stage

wickham has a song where he’s trying to seduce lydia but she’s not even listening she’s just monologuing about how excited she is to get laid

during darcy’s second proposal he keeps hesitating waiting for lizzy to interrupt him like she has done every time before but she doesn’t say anything until he’s finished

at the end mary sits down at the piano and right where she’d usually be interrupted, kitty joins her and harmonises

 jane and bingley have the adorable upbeat romantic duet which is just them being super polite like ‘oh so nice to have you here’ ‘so nice to be here’ interspersed with their inner monologue which is just them being like fucking jesus I’m so in love

the bingley sisters probably have a really cool mean solo

lady catherine has this terrifying disney villain song in the garden

there’s for sure a song about ribbon shopping

These are fantastic choices if you have the money. My area the cheapest is 20 pounds a lesson which is only really feasible every once in a while, especially when travel is added on.

sometimes i think about what i was physically capable of as a child and teen, running jumping climbing ect, and i feel FURIOUS at the physical education i received because no matter how much i enjoyed any given activity the competitive aspect and assessment factor made me feel AWFUL for not being good enough

and now i can’t do ANYTHING except walk a bit and i’m angry because i never got shown the tools to keep me invested in continued physical activity beyond maybe dance? 

gyms, rock climbing, most sports culture for adults is the same brand of aggressive motivation that i always found off-putting so it’s really like??? guess i’ll get really into walking and destroy some shoes because i find every other exercise environment so inhospitable (and to be clear: home exercise requires a whole other level of motivation and gets pretty monotonous without the right resources)

i just want a jungle gym for adults that’s free like it is for kids is what i’m saying
