As a Jew and even more specifically as a Jewish woman: Tim Burton might call his story the Corpse Bride, but it is not.

He stole and ripped off from our folklore to make that thing and let me tell that is not Corpse Bride. She might be a corpse and she might be a bride, but she is not a Corpse Bride.

That is our story, our history, our pain, our trauma, and our way of dealing with lack of dignity given to our daughters and sisters in death, about the rape they didn't survive, and about the horrific and lonely murder done to them.

It how we cope with the loss of our family, our loves, our friends, our community members, and how we envision them returning home to us.

It is not some generic story about a dead woman or funny mistakes or wacky songs or worms in ears.

It is about tragedy. It about permanent loss. It is about the desperate hope to have your child's bones be returned. It is a warning for brides and it is reminder for brides of the strength inside of them.

It is a story that is found in every Jewish Diaspora community no matter the setting because it happened to every Jewish community in Diaspora.

Our daughters were taken before they could be married and as they were adorned in their bridal wear. And then they were raped, murdered, and left to rot in some unknown place. Never to be found. For not even in death could they return home.

So we made a story about our daughters coming home so that their bones could rest with family and community.

This is a Jewish story.

So this "corpse bride" from Tim Burton is no Corpse Bride. She is mockery of our pain and trauma. It is spits on our Corpse Brides.

things i think about CONSTANTLY:

daniel handler said that everyone in a series of unfortunate events and the surrounding universe is jewish “unless stated otherwise”

the only time it could possibly have been considered “stated otherwise” is in the netflix tvv, when poe and his wife mention being the only kids in their class without b'nei mitzvahs

literally the only non-jewish characters in this series are the bankers

daniel handler is the funniest man alive

How RTD has treated Belinda Chandra should go down in Whovian history alongside how Martha Jones was treated. By the way. Doctor Who needs to start actually respecting their companions of color and they clearly haven't learned a damn thing. It is so hard to live in a world where Moffat did it best. Moffat? Moffat wrote the best companion of color? How???

i swear this was just supposed to be some fun aesthetic swap doodles, but then i started thinking about The Implications and now i have a wholeass story behind this au lol

any world where grace chasity isn’t a horny, homicidal prude, we lose the original plot, so this au would revolve more around the church of the starry children then max jägerman lol

solomon decides the best way to wield power in hatchetfield is through religion instead of government and he unites all the tiny denominational churches into his church, becoming the pastor (happening around the same time steph starts middle school.)

it works. almost everyone attends solomon’s church, and it becomes a required social event for anyone who’s anyone in hatchetfield.

but it’s all a manipulation for bigger purposes as solomon slowly incorporates text from the black book, pushing the church into culty territory.

as the preacher’s kid, steph is under constant scrutiny. she might have wanted to rebel as a kid, but the wrath of god is a much bigger threat than just breaking her phone and solomon uses fear and guilt to keep her in line, turning her into a model of godly behavior (at least on the surface).

the chasitys refuse to join solomon’s church, but their small congregation shuts down when there aren’t enough people left. 

grace’s parents encourage grace to pour all her free time into individual bible study to make up for the lack of church, church activities, and church outings, but grace starts treating the bible like a textbook instead of a spiritual guide.

without structured church activities, her obsession with rules and procedures shifts to the school system

grace unknowingly separates herself from spirituality when her bible obsession becomes academic. she’s still a christian, but she’s more likely to corner you in the library to infodump about angelic hierarchies than preach about purity.

travis coulson was ruth’s older cousin. it freaked her the hell out that someone could be bullied that bad that they have to transfer and their entire life is erased for a dumbass lie that everyone believes. so ruth vows that she and her friends will never be outcasts (or timberwolves) and drags pete and richie into a "popularity pact" in fifth grade, forcing them to get cool or else.

the trio spends their summer doing research and practicing social skills. (they basically spend their time practicing masking autism and refining their ability to camouflage.)

the trio starts researching what’s cool. their findings? football players, student council presidents, and school play leads are the pinnacle of popularity. so, they throw themselves into middle school tryouts and campaigns to fit these roles:

richie tries out for football but ends up as the mascot.

ruth auditions for the lead in the school play but gets relegated to lighting tech.

pete campaigns for class president but only gets elected secretary.

instead of quitting there, they regroup and try again in high school:

richie uses the athleticism he got as a mascot to land him a spot on the swim team.

ruth works her way up to the the student/assistant director for the school plays

pete works his way up the student council ranks, eventually becoming class president.

the trio is finally just cool enough that their quirks get rebranded as "quirky-cool" instead of "weird." they still bond over star wars and anime in secret, but their popularity ensures they’re never targets again.

I'm really sick of the "[x] was promised to them 3000 years ago" brand of antisemitism. Since when was making fun of other people's religious beliefs and cultural identity okay? It's not funny and its basically the antisemitic equivalent of "I identify as an attack helicopter" can you at least come up with something more original.

I’m rewatching The Nanny and it occurred to me how cool it is to watch a Jewish woman actually be wanted and desired…..I can’t think of many (any?) examples of media where an actual Jewish woman who looks and acts unapologetically Jewish is considered sexy and desirable. And it’s not humorless, either: there are plenty of jokes about Fran and her Jewishness, but it never feels mean-spirited and she’s never the only butt of the joke. Yes, the humor plays a lot on Jewish stereotypes, but Fran can take a joke just as well as she can dish it out.

It’s really refreshing and actually touching to watch. I don’t think I realized how much I’ve internalized the lesson taught to me by popular media that Jewish women are ugly and undesirable (and yes, Jewish men have played a part in perpetuating this idea). I almost get emotional watching Fran Drescher in this role because it feels viscerally different from everything else I’ve seen. It hits me in a really personal way.

We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.

conflating diaspora jews with the actions of the israeli government is not okay, yes, but have you considered it's not okay to conflate israeli jews with them either

these tags by @grunkleuri came from a different post and I may be interpreting them wrong but “Clark Kent Raised By Grunkle Stan” AU is an absolutely fascinating premise. He would fit stupid well into gravity falls can you imagine
