new metric for media literacy for film bros is if they understand the barbie movie.

the kens are first presented as accessories to their barbies and it's pointed out loud that they don't even have places to stay in barbieland. one of the barbies straight up asks "wait, where do the kens stay?". they're just arm candy made to look pretty and cool while the barbies run their world.

but that's fucked up!!! the film presents it as fucked up! that's why ken screams "YOU FAILED ME!" and why he is insecure in the first place because he wanted to be respected and seen as a person, not someone who only exists in relation to someone else. should he have done what he did? no!!! that's why it's part of the conflict! the root of both of their breakdowns was in their society in that the barbies are supposed to be perfect and the kens exist in relation to them! it's barbie and ken. he was a footnote. that's why barbie apologizes to him in the end and tells him he can be himself. she doesn't have to exist by some set of rules and neither does he! it's barbie and it's ken! sure, the resolution to the whole barbieland issue wasn't perfect, BUT KEN'S WHOLE ARC IS ABOUT HOW THEIR WORLD FAILED MEN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS MOVIE WAS 'WOMEN GOOD MAN BAD'. WHAT ABOUT THE NUANCE

People are so shook and making memes about the haze in New York only they just found out about it from New York.

Just because it was in New York.

They're not talking about anywhere else, only in America. So many Canadian cities looked/look exactly the same as New York rn. Alberta's cities are some of them, and it looked horrific. Alberta was the first province affected, and they started in April/May! no one talked ab it!

I see so many memes on social media about how Canada "gave" America the haze, how "Americans are suffering because of Canada", how the "Canadian wildfires are making American cities orange".

20,000 Canadians were forced to leave their homes. 9.4 million acres burned. And yes, cities all over Canada have been washed orange, as are New York and Detroit and other American cities. NY had the worst air quality in the world yesterday, and they absolutely have every right to be scared and to complain ab it. Think of the sick, the children, pregnant ppl. Millions of animals and flora will perish. My friends, family, and I are extremely worried. We are all worried. This is the earliest fire season I remember.

This is all because of climate change. Something that affects all of us. Why people are making fun of Canada for such a natural disaster is beyond me. So much land, land that INDIGENOUS PPL HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO PROTECT, is gone.

This isn't a joke.

Stop joking.

january 10 - lake || @jegulus-microfic || wc: 456

“We’re not going.”

“Why not, Reg? We’ve had this planned for ages, and I’m fine! I promise.”

Regulus took a deep breath in to avoid snapping in frustration. “James. Fucking Potter. You are currently running a 104 degree fever and can barely stand up straight. Turn the damn shower off, get back in bed, and stay there. For fuck’s sake.”

“C’mon, love, please? I know you were excited—”

“Don’t be stupid. You can’t get into a lake like this. You know that.” Regulus shook his head. He was excited about this trip; they’d started planning it several months ago after a series of interrupted dates and late nights at work. He also knew, though, that James had no self control when it came to lakes, or any body of water, really, and Regulus would have a hell of a time trying to get him to stay on dry land when he was sick if all he wanted to do was swim. 

He looked at James, now in bed reclining against a couple of pillows with a sad look on his face. Regulus felt his heart do a funny little flip at the sight of him, nose running and fever induced sweat collecting at his temples. “James. I love you. I will make you soup in a minute. Neither of us have to work this week, and we’re behind on our movie list anyway. We can go to the lake another time, it’s okay.”

James sniffed noisily and burrowed deeper under the covers, leaving only the top of his head visible. “Okay.”

Regulus nodded, satisfied. “I’m going to cancel our reservation. What kind of soup do you want? I’ll grab extra blankets while I’m out there too.”

James reached a hand out from his cocoon and held it straight up in the air above him, palm turned inwards and fingers wiggling, beckoning Regulus to him. 

“I’ll be right back, love, I promise.”

James’ hand turned more insistent. 

Regulus sighed and made his way over to the side of the bed, grasping the hand waving in his face. James’ face peeked out from under the quilt. “Will you just. Stay with me? Please?” he whispered. Regulus softened. It wasn’t often that James asked him explicitly for something. 

“Yeah,” he answered just as softly. “I’ll stay.” 

He climbed in bed and reached for the TV remote, turning on The Proposal, which they had fallen asleep to the night before, with the volume down low. James turned over on his side and pressed a whispered, “I’m sorry, Reg,” between Regulus’ shoulder and chest. 

Regulus repositioned his arm around James, squeezing a silent reassurance into his opposite shoulder. The reservation could wait. This was alright. “Not a problem at all, James.”

What do you think Dick is like when he’s sick?

Not a very good patient. He's gonna be up and about even if he's sick or injured.
