Other People: “I liked Wonder Woman, but it’s so unrealistic that Steve Trevor would fall in love with her over what was basically a weekend.”
Me: “Dude, I just spent 141 minutes of a movie with her and if she were real I’d propose on the spot.”

You know, one thing i like about Mulan is how Yao, Ling and Chien Po don’t really seem to care about the fact that Mulan is a girl.
I mean, when they find out, they are visibly perplexed
But even so, they rush and try to help her when she’s about to get killed
After this, they all seem quite depressed about having to leave her behind (and when Shang ignores her)
And when she shows up and takes action, they gladly follow her lead
And they even rock some crossdressing, like she did
(btw they just missed a great opportunity to make Shang crossdress here, shame on you movie)
Honestly, i just think this needs more appreciation. Because to them, Mulan didn’t have to prove herself again, just because she is a girl. She already earned their friendship and respect when she was ‘Ping’, and that was enough.

So I’d like to thank the Shakespeare tumblr folks and @jstor for sharing about the Understanding Shakespeare lab on here, because my prof tonight asked for research search engines for Shakespeare and, when I brought this up, she got more excited than I think I’ve ever seen her.
