my reactions

Absolutely incoherent rambling about everything I didn't like about "Preliminary Materials for a Theory of the Young-Girl" by French philosophy group Tiqqun

As long as they're both consenting adults, sure whatever

The problem with the manic pixie dream girl is how it takes someone in a very vulnerable position and puts them on a pedestal. You have a girl who, like everyone in our modern world, is bombarded by messages about how she's supposed to look, how she's supposed to behave. This bombardment really messes with your head! Then you take a coping strategy that mostly only makes sense in response to this bombardment and even then it only works for a few people or more of us would do it, and say "Wow. Isn't this coping strategy beautiful?"

If you aren't also saying or at least implying, "Wouldn't it be better if she didn't have to have this manic-pixie coping strategy at all?" I guess I'm going to hate your movie? I mean, the nice thing about the OP premise here is you can bring in the divorced mom and go, "You know, there's a richness of how to cope and the different approaches of these women can be together in a beautiful romance that's also really hot." Or alternately tell the creepy version of that dynamic, I mean The Favourite (2018) exists, so please go for that.

I guess I'm saying please don't give us the bad dynamic and try to sell us on it being good. If you do that, why did you even bother making both characters women in the first place?

Anyway, sorry to interrupt your otherwise reasonable demands. Please feel free to resume your banging of fists on the table until the movie gets made.

okay now that we’ve a had couple lesbian blockbusters and milfs are having a romance moment, we need to bring back the manic pixie dream girl. she was never fuckin suited to fixing all the problems of some boring twenty year old everyman, but you know who could actually benefit from a quirky free-spirited blue haired girl with pronouns (she/they)? a newly divorced forty-something mom who’s trying to learn how to be herself for the first time in her life

I think Spock could hang out with Squidward because they're the same type of cultured faggot but Squidward would get petty and mean about something and Spock would be like honestly mr tentacles I find this type of outburst very distasteful. & he would fix him

What happens to all the Disney kingdoms by the time of the modern day. Was the kingdom from Tangled absorbed into the Second French Empire, or did it stay an independent principality like Monaco and derive most of its economy from tourism and being a billionaire tax haven

Isn't it fucking insane that so many people think that IQs are real. Like people genuinely believe you are born with one set level of intelligence that can be measured on a scale from 1 to ~200. As if intelligence wasn't extremely nuanced and completely subjective. And the fact that the majority of scientists that have advocated for IQ tests in the past have been eugenicists doesn't seem to concern anyone either

I'll make a separate post but big happy Juneteenth!!! us black folks are far from freedom as we are still systemically oppressed, but today we celebrate the day where we get a step closer to liberation.

big hearts for black folks out there, especially black trans people who carry the American LGBT movement on their backs yet don't receive much flowers. ily
