decentralize and clean up your life!!!
use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.
use firefox instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).
use mega or proton drive instead of google drive.
get rid of bloatware
use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite
use vetted sites on r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH for free movies, books, games, etc.
use trakt or letterboxd instead of imdb.
use storygraph instead of goodreads.
use darkpatterns to find mobile game with no ads or microtransactions
use ground news to read unbiased news and find blind spots in news stories.
use mediahuman or cobalt to download music, or support your favorite artists directly through bandcamp
make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge
use search for a cause or ecosia to support the environment instead of google
use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)

find books, movies, games, etc. on the internet archive! for starters, here's a bunch of David Attenborough documentaries and all of the Animorphs books
burn your music onto cds
use pdf24 (available online or as a desktop app) instead of adobe

Nothing to do with anything I normally post or anything I will post in the future but I had to rant because I just saw a production of little mermaid the stage musical and had to vent.
Why I hate If Only Quartet - Little Mermaid and you should too
1. it adds nothing to the story. Every character who sings (Ariel, Eric, Triton, Sebastian) has already had some sort of I want song/moment (maybe not Sebastian but in his previous scene with Ariel he says he wants to protect her; his motivations are very clear) Ariel is still longing for Eric to know who she is. Eric is still longing for the girl with the beautiful voice and Triton is longing to get Ariel back. WE ALREADY KNEW ALL OF THAT.
2. It uses no music from the original film. Every song in the Broadway version of little mermaid was either directly lifted or pulled from existing music in the movie. Like “Beyond my Wildest dreams” win we was hear the instrumental from when Ariel is exploring Eric’s castle and the maid’s lyrics about how Ariel isn’t talking are lifted from the maids gossiping while doing laundry in the original film.
3. The lyrics suck. “If only you could glimpse the feeling that I feel” that’s caca. Now I am a big fan of Howard Ashman and after his passing and the last of his songs being used for Aladdin Disney kinda lost their way with film musicals, Dave Zippel took over writing lyrics for the remaineder of the Disney renaissance but after Tarzan the studio was outta juice, beginning a drought of good Disney movies which lasted until The Princess and the Frog. Howard Ashman was a treasured lyricist and his passing hit the company hard. SO THE FACT THAT THEY ADAPTED THE LITTLE MERMAID AT ALL WAS A LITTLE QUESTIONABLE BUT ADDING NEW SONGS BY A NEW LYRICIST WAS DISRESPECTFUL AT BEST. Now the new lyricist was Glenn Slater who did lyrics for Tangled and yeah I love tangled. But this guy also did Love Never Dies…never heard of it? Oh yeah, that’s cause it’s the failed sequel to Phantom of the Opera. I’m going kinda hard into Glenn Slater now so I’ll wrap up. The lyrics for a lot of the news songs are pun-heavy and lacking in emotion. I cant enjoy the new songs on the same level as the originals because they will never meet Howard Ashman’s masterful level of lyrical expertise.
4. Goddamn twink Grimsby
No hate to any of the performers, cast, crew or directors. (I’m purposely not sharing what production this was for anonymity of myself and the performing company)

It's pride month so I'll allow myself to express one opinion on the internet :
There are no "exact color" of pride flags.
I see more and more sites and posts talking about the exact hex codes for the lesbian flag, or the right purple for the ace one, and how it should be more or less saturated and I just want to say: pride flags were meant to be sewn in your kitchen. To be spraypainted and to be recognised.
There are no "exact colors" of pride flags because you should do them with what you have ! Nobody should care if you use a crimson red instead of a cherry red or whatever ! Be free ! wave your colors ! The colors you have !

Okay coming back to Rose of Versailles after watching the Takarazuka musical, the 2025 anime movie and the 1979 live action movie Lady Oscar, all of which are adaptations of the same Manga, I have many thougts.
Mostly gonna rant about Oscar’s gender
Spoilers ahead
I’m gonna use they/them pronouns for Oscar, you’ll see why.
So Oscar is born in France in 1755. Assigned female at birth, their father is disappointed so decides to raise Oscar as a son. In Lady Oscar (1979), Oscar’s father only ever genders them as male before doing a complete 180 later on.
Depending on the adaptation Oscar genders themself differently. In the musical I don’t think Oscar genders themself at all, in the 1979 movie I think they describe themself as a woman? And in the 2025 movie they describe themself as a woman a few time but also refer to their relationship with Andre being like the twins in Gemini. They say to Andre to ‘make me your wife’ but also when going to their father and saying they choose their own fate they say they will ‘live as a child of Mars’.
The people around Oscar assume they are a man based on the way they dress and act. Fersen assumes Andre to be a man until corrected by their nanny after knowing them for several days. Oscar wears a dress to meet Fersen at a party and confess their love for him and he doesn’t recognize them.
At the point where Oscar’s father completely switches tactics, he tries to marry them off. The characterization of the fiancé is also different between versions. In the 2025 movie he is nice when we first see him, then pretty sexist towards Oscar when proposing, then he rescinds his proposal when Oscar confessing they love Andre. In the 1979 movie he makes me puke in my mouth. He requests Oscar to wear a dress at their engagement announcement but omg Oscar shows up in this:
Tumblr media
I live.
Then proceeds to dance with a woman and kiss her!!!
Tumblr media
I love the gays 🥰
What were we talking about?
Gender! Right. So Oscar doesn’t like being feminized. The one time they do wear a dress they do not seem uncomfortable with the dress itself just Fersen’s rejection. But when they choose, all their clothes are masculine.
Early on in the 1979 film, Marie Antoinette tells Oscar that women at court are taking after them and dressing masculinely. A few scenes later Fersen comments about women dressing like men (can’t remember the exact quote but it’s fairly innocuous) and Oscar leaves, offended.
In my original post I gender Oscar as simply transfem but that is not accurate at all. Oscar’s gender is very layered and very restricted by the gender roles of their time. As a trans person it definitely brought me comfort to think of Oscar as being transfem so it would feel like everyone was gendering them correctly. However, Oscar’s gender is so complex that it cannot be explained. Oscar was assigned female at birth and raised as a son but their perceived womanhood is no secret, seemingly everyone knows. And Oscar does exhibit ‘feminine’ traits like idfk having emotions? But is very content with who they are it would seem. They never verbalize any regret about not being raised as a woman. In the 2025 movie they tell their father that they’re grateful they were never held back by their sex.
I can’t really come to a completely satisfying conclusion but I can say: I’m so happy this franchise exists. Queer history is a rare thing to see and it’s awesome. Sorry if this is really weirdly written. My eyes and brain don’t work because it’s late.
Happy pride month :)
Just started the Takarazuka Rose of Versailles- Lady Oscar is so incredibly transfem im surprised no one really talks about it
