"Uma Boa Menina" tem uma jovem tentando conciliar o desejo de pertencer e a necessidade de se afirmar

Aos olhos dos mais desatentos, “Uma Boa Menina” pode parecer um filme sem grandes pretensões, mas não se engane: o longe é uma jornada visceral através das inquietações, desejos e desilusões de uma geração que busca desesperadamente sua identidade em um mundo que parece estar sempre um passo à frente. Dirigido e estrelado pela talentosa Desiree Akhavan, o filme mergulha sem reservas na vida…

The thing is, you don’t have to have a diagnoses to make simple “unmasking” changes that make your life easier. You don’t even have to self-diagnose! You are not appropriating anyone’s culture or struggles or hijacking anyone’s movement by allowing yourself to sway in line at the grocery store or buying a weighted blanket or using study or household hacks intended for people with ADHD. If you start favoring the needs that make your brain and body unique over the arbitrary norms of society, you’ll be better off, and you’ll be expanding the norms. It’s a win/win.

obi-wan's been told that his commander has a cool demeanor and a good head for strategy. he's the best of his batch. he's the perfect second-in-command for the high general, and obi-wan is genuinely trying to find a way to describe him using the terminology he's been given without making him sound like the most boring man alive

then obi-wan MEETS his commander and this is his face when three minutes into their first engagement cody full body tackles a droid twice his size:

“Appropriate Behavior“ by Desiree Akhavan

[sleepiestslooth]

thinking about the scene in ep 19 where the ninja are sneaking in imperium and it cuts to wyldfyre vocalizing her little sneaking theme and when lloyd asks kai to do something about it he just enables her further and they both start doing it oh my god i love them theyre so stupid i need a thousand more scenes just like this

[mixelation]

the funniest take on "deidara is minato's oops baby" is actually one where

minato lives au where he survived the kyuubi attack but naruto and kushina didn't (this is still a comedy i promise)

minato doesn't find out about deidara until he's already a teenaged missing-nin

bc minato lost his family, he's EXTREMELY invested in being a Good Dad to this kid he just found out about

even if he's a screaming s-rank teenaged missing-nin

imagine you're deidara and you're just trying to make art but the fucking yellow flash is obsessed with you

minato: (teleports behind you) hey, son, i think we need to have a conversation about--

deidara who thought he was safe thirty feet in the air on a bird: (SCREAMING)

i'm thinking about nynaeve's line to egwene in the testing vision about how egwene will be a better "servant of all" than nynaeve ever could be. i love that moment so much! because it plays into one of my very favorite Themes from the books: the difference between heroes who focus on the greater good, sometimes at the expense of individuals (egwene, rand, moiraine, elayne) and heroes who focus on individuals, sometimes at the expense of the greater good (nynaeve, perrin, mat). and neither is inherently better or worse than the other, it's just two different ways of looking at the world! for each character, we see moments where their outlook is a strength as well as moments where it's a weakness/flaw.

i saw someone say that nynaeve undersells herself in that line because throughout the show we've seen HER be a servant of all. and that's very true............IF we define "all" as "the two rivers." nynaeve would die & kill for Her People, and for any other individuals she comes across who need her help, but she doesn't care so much about broader causes or ideals. her arc is really unique because it's an inverse leadership arc, i.e. she starts off in a leadership position but then as the story progresses, she realizes that she is not suited to leadership on the huge scale that's needed for the last battle and steps aside to let people like egwene and rand, who ARE suited to it, take up that leadership.

(if you will allow me a bit of #gawynposting, gawyn actually has a very similar arc in this respect: he starts off expecting to become first prince of the sword, but then when he gets his first real taste of large-scale leadership as the leader of the younglings, he's miserable. he doesn't care about the younglings' cause, he just wants to protect his specific loved ones, elayne & egwene, because at heart he is an Individuals Guy, not a Big Picture Guy. and so in the end he rejects his role as first prince and dedicates himself to protecting one specific person, egwene, as her warder. but the tragedy of his character is that even after all this he still can't shake the My Duty Is To The Big Picture conditioning that's been drilled into him since childhood, and thus focusing exclusively on protecting one single person during the last battle makes him feel selfish & guilty about "wasting" his fighting abilities and he decides it's his duty to sacrifice himself for the greater good. sob!)

anyway, i love this line because it's not true and also it's true. nynaeve IS a selfless servant of all, but egwene will be a better servant of all-all than nynaeve could be. because egwene is more able to set aside her personal feelings to focus objectively on what's best for the greatest number of people, whereas nynaeve just can't stomach the ruthless calculus of war (which, again, is not a knock on either character, they're simply different kinds of people and BOTH kinds are needed to win the last battle). and that's why it could only ever be egwene who got the amyrlin arc, even though you might initially expect it to go to nynaeve due to the setup of her being the most powerful aes sedai of the age.

do you- do you think Arthur climbs out the lake like he gets out of bed every morning

completely unfazed, groaning and whining and splashing water at Merlin for being cruel to him at 5 in the morning, while poor Merlins standing there *flabbergasted* at the new development but also somehow unsurprised

please. for the love of god. talk to your kid who enjoys reading classic children's literature about phrases like "pride comes before a fall" and what they do and do not mean

or else they will end up 30 and mentally ill and convinced that being Too Content/Confident/Happy will make bad things happen to them or their loved ones
