so much to explore with Mary's character, but what's interesting to me is how she's framed in proximity to *blackness* instead of in proximity to whiteness, and how viewing her through that lens opens up so many lanes of discussion about her character and her arc.

she's an incredibly frustrating character to watch from her first appearance to her last (if you intrinsically understand anything about black man/white woman relations, or mixed race issues, or anything else her character is in conversation with, her actions consistently spark anxiety and discomfort), but like everyone else she's incredibly sympathetic. to vilify her completely is to misunderstand her, and the tragedy of her character. to absolve her completely is to misunderstand her role in the unfolding of events, and how that reflects her complicated identity in a stratified society.

there are so many obvious mistakes she makes (they'll tell me more than they'll tell you, turning her back, walking up to stack at the train station, coming to the juke joint at all, even considering the white people as legitimate patrons because "y'all need money"--let's not even get into the role money plays right now), i think she performs the most blatant allegories in the entire movie (what are you? I'm a human being *is functionally a white woman*), but there's a lot to say about how she relates to blackness, and the disconnect between how she sees her identity (i didn't want to be white), and how she is actually able to function in society. And how that leaves her unprepared to deal with trouble that comes to her community. how she actually invites that trouble in through her missteps when everyone else had better sense.

she just has no sense, and you could blame her for not knowing better but why would she? she didn't need to. but then should she just accept her role as a white woman and stay away? her connection to blackness and to the community is clearly very important to her, and when trouble comes she is claimed as family. but that blackness is something she can't fully connect to in the caste system and apartheid she lives under. it's cut off from her no matter how much she tries to claim it.

she acts as the bridge that breaks down the notion that there is even anything *actually* different about black and white. and yet because there is *functionally* a difference, that bridge invites danger into the community she wants to be a part of so desperately.

The Webby card actually really interesting to me

Heavy is the crown. She wants life to be safe from the Lords in Black, but she’s really the only one up against them. It’s all 5 of her brothers against her. She’s the only one who has enough power to try and stop them, but she fails continuously. Her own family members are her greatest enemies. In “The Web I Spin For You” she sings “Why do you haunt me like a ghost? You’re supposed to love me the most.” She doesn’t want to be the sole protector of earth. It’s a heavy burden. But if she has to take this responsibility to save the world from the most powerful evil there is, she will.

i showed my sister the equestria girls movies last week because i needed a win and these were her thoughts:

equestria girls:

"sunset, you've gotta wait till your goons are gone before code-switching"

"sunset knows she's a horse so being with flash is kinda weird"

"don't like snips and snails"

"pan rainbow dash?" (i asked if she had any thoughts on their human designs and that was it, idk what to tell ya)

"why are the people colored in this reality?"

"why is rarity british?" (overall thought about the whole franchise)

"when did we fucking ask him? nobody asked him to join" (about flash playing guitar during the cafeteria song)

^but yeah she didn't really vibe with flash but she found the "one no would've been fine" line funny

"laughter" "no, it's insanity"

"i didn't know there was another way" "i don't give a fuck"

rainbow rocks:

"why is the moon, cheese?"

"i like the names. in case you weren't sure this was about music" (said during the opening credits when it showed the dazzlings)

"to be fair, you did ruin everything" (towards sunset)

"somebody needs to slap rainbow"

she really wanted to protect fluttershy, i could tell

she also wasn't necessarily loving flash x twilight during the first movie but definitely wasn't after he made twilight cry so-

friendship games:

"great, a murder board"

"why are you keeping tabs [on chs]? maybe you should focus on your other students" (towards cinch)

"what do you think i should do?" "you should keel over and die"

"sugarcoat, just stab me in the heart, why don't you"

"she looks like she belongs in spongebob, derogatory" (about cinch)

"twilight is doing disney knees"

"cinch is a bitch, cinch is a bitch. cinch is a winch, cinch is a winch" (said in a sing-songy way)

"why's this bitch singin'?" (again about cinch)

"we want what we deserve" "who said you deserve it, you fucking bitch?"

can you tell she hates cinch??

also made a couple jokes about how cadence and luna seemed like girlfriends in all of their scenes together (which was actually really valid)

legend of everfree:

"what do y'all do?" (towards celestial and luna)

"[the opening credits sequence] is gonna be at the bottom because it's giving me home by phillip phillips"

"and this is my brother, timber spruce" "TERRY?" (as in terry from tdp, which is where i got the cargo shorts thing from, so let's all thank my sister)

seemed to not be the biggest fan of sci-twi x timber ("just timber!")

"do we have watches!? cause they've mentioned time twice" "the sun dial" "but it's gonna be dark, she said it doesn't work at night!" (funny conversation that doesn't work in hindsight because they apparently had their phones with them the whole time)

"i don't know why but i'm getting trans from rainbow, cause everyone else is drawn with boobs and she's not. in that shot at least"

"if i see a man coming out of the woods, i think he's just buried a body"

"that's a disgusting design i'm sorry" (about gloriosa's villain look)

"sorry i thought he was going to kill his sister, he saw the ax and i thought he was just gonna- this is a children's movie. just for a split second"
