[slashingdisneypasta]

I'm watching Caitlin Mckillops Barbie Villain ranking video and ohhhh my God the nostalgia. I need to rewatch some of these- I haven't seen a lotta these movies for oover a decade but some of these villains are hitting me right in the face with memories of love XDD

Like, damn-- Wenlock?? Mother Gothel?? Those two giving me HEAVY vibes. Obviously Preminger?? Rowena?? Queen Ariana?? I could definitely go on-

I dont think I had any crushes on these villains... but I certainly loved them and we'll see 👀 haha XD

Does anyone here have any Barbie movie villain crushes? XD Or just ones you really love/d?? I'd love to know! ^^

Emergency call

Sypnosis: You recently graduated as a nurse, oficially working like one already. You had to attend some people that were injured on an accident, is there when you find your ex bf from like 2 years ago is there too!

Words count: 1.6k

TW: No one? Slightly mentions of physical damage, nothing serious.

Btw, my first time writing! I've never written before and english isn't even my first language. Sooo; anyways, I had this idea hearing "Llamado de emergencia" - Daddy Yankee.

Well, it's been like 2 years already?

The last time he saw you, you were almost in the middle of your nursing career or something. He assumes you are already working or something, he doesn’t really understand how medicine careers work or something, it's kinda complicated. 

The only reason he cares it’s because it was the reason he broke up with you, some shit like “I want more time to study, but don’t worry, I will come back after some years”.

Surprise, it's already been two years and no notice of you after you left the town.

Anyways, he was cooking some shitty recipe he saw on instagram, he didn't even know why he even tried. The only times he eats decent cooked food is when he goes to dinners or when you used to cook for the both of you. He thinks he is almost over your awesome self; he doesn’t cry hearing cigarettes after sex songs while he sees your polaroids together. Plus, he remembered you because he can’t believe how someone can be that bad at cooking, i mean, himself.

He smelled something weird, gas? Nah, it can’t be, he is very careful with that and plus he trust the safety of the complex of his apartment enough to assume it can’t be a gas leak. So, he saw the third step of the recipe and went to the oven to see how it was all going until… Bum!

Yeah, to the surprise of no one, it suddenly all burns in fire. It was a gas leak, of course it was, the smell warned him like ten minutes ago but he is just too fucking stubborn.

-

You were resting calmy, eating a piece of bread and a coca cola with your work buddies. Until you get a call. Some people were hurted by some kind of explosion and they needed immediate help; it was your work anyways, now that you are officially a nurse.

You fastly fix your uniform and get onto the ambulance with the rest of your coworkers. Well, it’s not the kind of thing you would like to do on your first day in this hospital after they transferred you back to your hometown. But, work is work and you get paid for this.

You are on the back with Shoko, your friend. A guy it's driving to the building and the other passenger puts on some music. It's not the best to put Ariana Grande on the way to attend people probably dying, but it calms you all in the meantime.

When you arrive, you already see the firemen attending to some people and turning off the fire of the building. You fastly got out of the ambulance and went to the first person you saw, fastly making him (apparently, you haven’t paid attention yet) lay down on a stretcher while you took out your first aid box and finally saw him.

For your surprise, and his surprise too. It's him, your ex, great. Congratulations I guess, you kinda missed him when you were gone, welcome back Satoru Gojo!

“What a surprise, mhm?” You said with a subtle smile, checking his vital signs while he looked at you in amusement.

“You- Uh…” He tries to say, you just made a “shhh” sound, putting your index fingers softly over his lips to shut him up, you knew him. You ignored his attempts to talk and leaned over to hear his heartbeat with your stethoscope.

“How bad, it seems we have to get you to emergencies” You say, fastly keeping all your supplements in their box again, calling two of your coworkers to put his stretcher on the ambulance. In less than a wink, he is already being attended by other people and you were looking out for other hurted people.

-

For his sweet delight, he saw you. How lucky he felt, he was just thinking of you some minutes ago, what a coincidence.

It was sweet seeing you, at least he knows now you are officially graduated and working already, and in this town. Fuck, you would miss him? He wouldn't mind coming back to your arms again and eating your delicious food every day.

He can’t think that much with those annoying murmurs of the doctors attending him and the insufferable screech on his ears. He just gets to distinguish something about some high pressure? I guess.

Anyways, going back to the initial and important theme. Damn, you looked good on your uniform, too good. How lucky he is to be saved by you. Maybe not saved because he will probably survive this but, anyways, you get the point.

After like an hour, you come back to the ambulance. You sigh and make a messy ponytail on your hair, sweating a bit. “God, luckily just him is gravely hurted” You said, sitting beside his stretcher and you chuckle quietly looking at him.

He slowly started to feel dazed, looking badly and even imagining hearts in his view as he saw you. What was that? Effects of the anesthesia, better late than ever, right?

He felt kinda drugged, ngl, but in a good way. If you already looked good, now having you in front of him seeing you prepare a needle with hearts (that he was imagining) around you and like a pink kdrama type filter it just makes everything better.

“Satoru, I'm going to put this in your arm, okay? Stay still” You saw, one hand softly resting on his stomach as you stood up next to him, looking down at him with a calm expression.

*”Satoruu” He repeats giggling, it seems he just heard that; looking at you even with more hearts and everything, hell, he even thinks it's in the background reproducing some romantic music.* Well, news, it was like some the weeknd song btw, nothing romantic.

“Yeah, ‘Satoruu’. You knew it was your name?! Wao!” You giggled, seeing the man smiling lazily at you and giggling. You take advantage of his calm state to introduce the straddle.

“Mhm. But it sounds better when you say it.” He hummed, replying as you put a band-aid on his arm.

“Oh, don’t tell me” You laugh again, checking his vital signs again and letting out a sigh of stress. For then, start to drink from a bottle of water you had around.

“You.. You and I should be sleeping happily, maybe even in this shit. It can stand the two of us, you aren’t that heavy” He says suddenly, looking at you. You, in disbelief spill out a bit of your water out of your mouth in a laugh. Even the other people laugh, hell, even Shoko who was driving.

“Fuck… Sorry?” You try to calm your laugh at him, both of your arms softly resting on the side of where he is laying.

“I told you, like, you look good enough right now. You take off my pants and th-” He tries to say, only to be interrupted by you softly slapping his chest and laughing loudly again with the rest of the people.

“Control your mouth” You said laughing again, you can’t believe this man. It has been two years and he hasn't changed a little, he always used to expose you and himself like this.

-

When everything has calmed down, you led his stretcher to the emergency room fastly and prepared himself to rest. He wasn’t that badly injured really, he can leave in like an hour.

“Well, Satoru, you seem well. If you’re lucky, you can leave in like 30 minutes” You said, checking his papers and writing something on the other. Standing next to him.

“Im not well” He says with a pout, it seems the anesthesia still have effects.

“Oh, and that's why?” You sit next to him with a smile, looking at him with your eyes, battling your eyelashes at him unconsciously.

“You left me, a long time ago” He said sadly, yep, it seems he still has the anesthesia effects. You just chuckled and rolled your eyes, seeing him slowly fall asleep.

-

Some hours after, he woke up feeling a bit bad, a bit better, a bit of everything. He had a headache, kinda hard.

He groaned and looked up, not remembering well the events of yesterday more than your beautiful self. He fastly rubbed his eyes and tried to look up for you, abruptly trying to stand up.

“Calm your ass, she isn't around right now.” A female voice says, the woman placed a hand on his chest to stop him. He looked at her and well, it was Shoko, unfortunately.

“Shoko, the fuck? I haven't saw her in like two years and then she came but then she is g-” He tries to say, his pressure abruptly growing. Shoko makes an “ooo” sound, checking some appliances around him.

“Calm down Satoru, look at your pressure. I think you should check yourself out sometimes, something is wrong with your pressure” She says, looking at him.

“Oh, I almost forgot.” She humm, taking all the appliances and things on him out, letting him free to go.

“Good luck, she gave me this.” Shoko said, her hand looking for something in her pockets. She take out a pack of cigarettes, her keys and then… Finally!

She gave him a paper, she didn’t read it so she can’t explain to him what it is. Anyways, she has more work and she can text him later, she walks out the place while she waves her hand at him.

Satoru walks out the place with a sigh and look out at the paper.

“but they sang live in the les mis film and some of them sounded bad at points”

yeah and people have sung those same songs live on stage and sounded good. because les mis, like wicked, is a stage musical. samantha barks, one of the few established singers in that film, sounded amazing as eponine because she actually had the vocals to pull off the live singing. a lot of the rest of the cast however were actors that didn’t have the singing ability to pull off what the film was expecting them to well enough. that was the issue. not the live singing but a lot of the cast’s vocal ability.

ariana grande and cynthia erivo both absolutely have the vocals to be able to pull off singing live and they know it. that’s probably why they chose to do it and why the director let them. they’re established singers that can also act. trust me when I say they’ll be absolutely fine and will sound awesome ❤️

LOVE this song, who knew Ariana Grande and Stevie Wonder would make a banger together?

This one might’ve already been asked, but i don’t remember. Either way, that doesn’t make this song less awesome

YEAH WILL WOOD!!! 💥🐁🌕💪

[bxd-decisions]

oh no worries! i also thought your pfp was familiar…and i realized it’s the reference i used to transform sukuna into ariana grande 😭

anyway whatta loaded question?! but i can answer it! hahaha my favorite taylor swift song of all-time is state of grace (tv) 🥹🩷 but right now i’m obsessed with slut! (tv) 🫣🩵

SLUT! IS SUCH AN AWESOME SONG I LOVE IT! However my favourite song atm by her is Now That We Don't Talk (TV)!

Also yeah I see our pfp's do look similar! I can change mine to something else if you want me to?

[chim-chim1310]

Guysss it's unhealthy how much I'm missing jimin. I want some jimin content. Plzzzz jimin. Where are you??

I know a collab or a song at this time would not be a good idea. But I wish we get some other good jimin content.

Like a dance cover video. Something sexy or something like maybe he could showcase his contemporary dance skills. I've always wanted jimin to do a dance video doing contemporary dance.

Either this or maybe a short online live concert of sorts. Like the Ariana Grande 'Positions' concert. I don't know if that was a concert or not. I just saw the videos on YouTube lol. But yeah I want jimin to some kind of online live concert ( or maybe not a concert whatever he wants) and sing all the songs on 'Face' live.

That would be so awesome right?

Ughh all we do here is wish. 🥺🥺

[newtedison]

Minho

thank you!!!

oh forgot the read more hehe

favorite thing about them

i love how he's not afraid to be an asshole. like both in the sense that he will be more than just snarky to you but also that he knows when to draw the line between working for the sake of others and self-preservation. he's got a good work ethic he wants to help everyone escape the maze he takes burdens of responsibility but he's also like hey alby get me water. hey thomas you're ugly. oh shit i'm in danger gotta go! like he's multi dimensional is what i'm saying.

least favorite thing about them

he has the same problem thomas does where he just charges headfirst into everything and that can be a detriment to both himself and others

favorite line

"I've been shucked and gone to heaven."

brOTP

i think the dynamic between him and chuck is really cute

OTP

BRINHOOOOOOOO! BRINHO BRINHO BRINHO BRINHO

me and the five other brinho shippers out there RIIIIIIISE

one day i will make an exclusive brinho fic for the people like me who go in the brenda/minho tag on ao3 and are like oh this is just 6 porn fics awesome

i've sort of already said why i love them together but like. who else can beat for beat match brenda's snarkiness, aggressiveness, badassery, flirting......like they can make each other worse and better at the same time

nOTP

i've seen some people ship him with teresa or sonya and i'm really not crazy about either. harriet for some reason i'm less mad about and i don't know why? i mean her and sonya are the IT couple so it doesn't matter but. yeah

random headcanon

i'm cheating a bit but in any modern au where he and thomas are friends i think they would have a choreographed dance to "the boys are back" from high school musical 3

unpopular opinion

this isn't about him specifically but i really hate how much he was written out of the death cure to promote in san's words the "white boy summer agenda." like even the promotion didn't include minho and i'm not willing to push him to the side for the sake of newtmas like others might be. i don't know how unpopular this actually is but.

song i associate with them

i could say "the boys are back" again but i'll pick a different one uh

i do think he would be into like modern pop like ariana grande, dua lipa, lady gaga, etc. so any of those like upbeat powerful songs i usually think of him

favorite picture of them

i can't really get a good screencap but right after he knees the guard in the scorch trials and just screams. felt that.

send me a character!

Mike + The Mechanics - Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground) (Official Vi...

I am stuck in the museum and I know it's not my son's fault. It's not Trump either or his and we know who it is and he's playing the song because of the Bradley GT1 and it hit me very strong and what he's saying is people are not paying attention to this he's not used to getting the code ready figuring it out putting it out there having an issued or sending it out that's what we do I want people who know what this says to discuss it with theirs and mine I want you boys to discuss it and come to me right now I want to know what you think is the two fierce and there isn't any out there

Mac daddy the more of the new car we put out there we can pressure him and people see it

Yeah I see it not a bad idea

Trump 1

Yeah this is getting funny but really this thing will fly with a hundred and thirty horsepower 150 of the MR2 and it's going to go really fast I think that's going to be a great vehicle I want a nice idea to go to Disney I know it was running that one out there and it should be easy who's going to get a lot of requests and in context of these days and when he wants people to do it matches and I don't know I guess we can explain what we think immediately we're thinking of those caverns full of stolen Bradley Fighting vehicles. And even bigger ones and the different varieties and all sorts of other weapons come to mind like that infantry mechanized infantry and we thought of it and he's telling me and I already thought of it and it's getting huge

Mac daddy

Oh God we have to get those done we have to do this we have to make the car we got to get to work and we have to like figure out who wants to do it I like the VW idea we did the Vader we did the dagger and the MR2 and BG wants that one so we're going to compete finally I think I can get it to work and I'll try and make the kids thorough and use his method this is going to be great it's not a hard thing to do and they get on the computer and you just refine it this is going to be awesome

It's a great choice of songs by Mac Daddy's saying I'm going to disappear too and you will too BGA if you don't help we need to help each other and that's how it's been going with them too and others we are understanding what he's saying

Trump

Olympus okay okay we need to print

See we do her Zeus and all of us Moana Ariana

Outgrown

Life's like an enormous jigsaw puzzle where every piece is a surprise. No matter how much we try to fit into the wrong spots, it somehow comes together to create this beautiful picture. It's like dancing in the rain without a plan: messy, wild, but pretty awesome.

Ariana Grande's newest album, Eternal Sunshine is a piece of art. Then I found this unreleased song and fell in love with Outgrown. 

I find my friends on their way to finding their happiness. Live a life and grow every single day. It is such a beautiful thing to see. Witnessing their phase and struggle even (now) from far (still) makes me proud of them. 

Well, I have time when I am blinded by my pain and pride. I failed to express my true feelings, leaving them unaware of how much they meant to me. I messed up and was unable to say sorry. I apologize for all of those scars that I made, and the unpleased lingering feelings they have for me. I wish I had said before.

But there is plenty of time when I am grateful for everyone that comes into my life. Some people stay while others have to go. All of our life-cross points were amazing. I sincerely value all those memories. I am so happy to see them, every single person in my life, shine on their own. 

This ain't no competition. I know it might sound so cliché and fake but it is. It takes a long journey and courage to realize that not every single thing in this world is a competition. Everyone has their own pace and is wonderful. It makes them more unique different, and beautiful on their own.

Each of us was whole and completely divine, but together we made it to more fullest. We need each other to make it better but it doesn't mean that we're not quite good when we are alone. No, it doesn't. 

As you already know, it's been 4 years since I left my university life. My peers already living their life. Making up their life and enjoying life. (wkwkwk, I hope so). Well, all of them were amazing and they deserve the best that life could offer. It's quite shocking at first while I am far from them but then it comes okay naturally. 

Now, whenever I reach my long-lost friends (no matter how long we have never seen or called or chatted or video call each other) it always comes with laughter, opening arms, warming greeting, and somehow I am much more grateful to see their eyes brighter than before. I am genuinely truly constantly hoping for the best for them. It is such a great opportunity to watch them shine and outgrow. Their precious heart that I may not know before, their kindness that I may take for granted, their genuineness that I may fail to interpret, all of them (including all your favorite shits) were my daylight and I love them. 

As I close this letter, evidence of all the things left unsaid and all the apologies I wish I could convey in person, there’s one final truth: I’ve never wanted to go back in time as much as I do now.

Last but not least, I wish you well. All of you, Guys! Even you might be the cross-reader but yeah, I wish you well. It always comes hand in hand anyway. Some people come, some people stay and others have to go. I don't see any bad in a goodbye. Some feel so tragic, but I believe that there are a lot of good things behind it. Sometimes, I am just blinded by my pain, romanticize it (kind of pain-pleasure), and fail to see things as a whole thing. I am stuck in one POV and sit still. But once I let myself open up, trust myself, and give a chance myself to see myself as a human being: I feel at ease and blessed. I feel grateful for everything. 

As I write in the opening of this post: Life's like an enormous jigsaw puzzle where every piece is a surprise. No matter how much we try to fit into the wrong spots, it somehow comes together to create this beautiful picture. It's like dancing in the rain without a plan: messy, wild, but pretty awesome.

As we navigate the ups and downs, it's like making up our song. Sometimes, we hit the wrong notes and stumble on unexpected tunes, but guess what? It all blends into our unique life melody.

Memories captured on pages from sincerely yours, Sati Soirée.

Anya’s SwynWriMo : Task 20

Personality Playlist: Create a playlist for a personality trait for a character!

Big Leo (and Cancer Cusp) Energy

A lot of people do not believe in astrological cusps, but for the purposes of this playlist… I do! I was the first triplet, so I picked a totally non-canonically birthday for them that they must now all obey (woops), but I did specifically pick a Leo/Cancer cusp because I felt like those were two very strong personalities that you could either lean into one or the other or both! Pepa’s definitely more on the Leo side, and a lot of these songs are about that big personality. The glamor! The showmanship! Wanting to be in the center of attention! But she also has a big Cancer streak, and that comes across in some of the moodier and more emotional songs. 

Link below!

Choice lyrics highlighted, with some liner notes:

There's a she-wolf in the closet

Open up and set it free (Ah-ooh)

There's a she-wolf in your closet

Let it out so it can breathe

She-Wolf/Loba - Shakira

I put the English and Spanish versions on here and I’m counting that as one song. Yes, Leos are lions, but I think the idea of having a free-spirited untamable animal side to yourself is very Leo. 

—

Look most of these are just bops about being an awesome person IDK what else to say. 

I live for the applause, applause, applause

I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause

Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me

The applause, applause, applause

Applause - Lady Gaga

I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' myself, I'm feelin' myself

Feeling Myself - Nicki Minaj/Beyonce

There's only two types of people in the world

The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe

Well baby I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl

Don't like the backseat, gotta be first

Circus - Britney Spears 

This is just such a Leo song! Put! On! A Show! Kinda! Girl! Yas! Queen!

Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy

You and I, you and I, we're like diamonds in the sky

You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy

When you hold me, I'm alive, we're like diamonds in the sky

Diamonds - Rihanna

My one, it lingers when we're done

You'll believe God is a woman

God is a woman - Ariana Grande

Cancer Szn transition here....

Think I'll miss you forever

Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky

Later's better than never

Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive (drive), drive

Summertime Sadness - Lana Del Rey

Listen. This is the quintessential Cancer Season Song. Miss Lana is the Queen of Cancer Feelings, and yeah okay this is such an overdone song but fight me, it’s perfect. It’s longing and desperate and full of big feelings. 

But I set fire to the rain

Watched it pour as I touched your face

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name

Your name

Set Fire to the Rain - Adele

Also in the Cancer cusp mood! 

I've got thick skin and an elastic heart

But your blade it might be too sharp

I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard

I may snap and I move fast

But you won't see me fall apart

'Cause I've got an elastic heart

Elastic Heart (Piano Version) - Sia

--

Okay back to the Leo vibez

I can cast a spell of secrets you can tell

Mix a special brew, put fire inside of you

Anytime you feel danger or fear

Then instantly I will appear, 'cause

I’m Every Woman - Chaka Chan

You can dance

You can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl

Watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

Dancing Queen - ABBA

I'm on tonight

You know my hips don't lie (no fighting)

And I'm starting to feel it's right

All the attraction, the tension

Don't you see, baby, this is perfection?

Hips Don’t Lie (featr. Wyclef Jean) - Shakira

You got to strut like you mean it

Free your mind

It's not enough just to dream it

Come on, come on, get up

Strut - The Cheetah Girls

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it

7 rings - Ariana Grande

I want fabulous,

That is my simple request,

All things fabulous,

Bigger and better and best,

I need something inspiring to help me get along,

I need a little fabulous is that so wrong?

Fabulous - Sharpay

Reasons 2021 West Side Story is better than the 1961 West Side Story

60 years later after the 1961 film, West Side Story. Steven Spielburg made this amazing musical adaptation that is easily better than the 1961 version. In honor of it coming to Disney+, I will go on a talk about how awesome this film is.

There will be spoilers from here on out

Lighting and Sets: I know it was more limited in the 1960s, but this film feels more alive and like there is more effort given to it. The lighting is beautiful and helps give emotion to the scenes through out the scenes. The sets are were more limited in the 60s, but in this film, it don't seem confined like the old one did.

Singing, Dancing, and Acting: It feels like there is more emotion put into their performances. Rachel Zegler, Ansel Elgort, David Alvarez, Mike Faist, Ariana DeBose, and Paloma Garcia-Lee all did an amazing job at portraying their characters through song and dance. Their singing seemed more professional and more powerful than before.

Songs: I very much prefer this version's song arrangement and performance. I love how Tony sing Cool, it suits him and the situation better to have it where it is and who sings it.

Dancing: I cannot express how much I loved the dancing. America and the dance at the gym were magnificent. Especially, and more specifically, America. I love the new choreography for America and how it moved to the streets of New York. Not only these two scenes, with Cool, I love how the dancing shows how tense the scene is supposed to be. As in this version, it is Tony trying to convince Riff to stop the rumble and fighting over the gun.

Anybodys: Okay, I feel like he deserved his own section because of how big the change was between the 1961 version and the reimagining of West Side. In the 1961 version, Anybodys was a tom boy who was misogynistic. She was a horrible person, especially because she did nothing about Anita's assault. If anything, she helped the Jets. Now, he is a beautiful character, inside and out. And I love how Spielberg made Anybodys transmale, which helped represent the trans/lgbt+ community. Also Anybodys has some also retorts to the Jets' bullshit. He is also way more fleshed out and has some personality.

The Topics: The topics of racism and xenophobia in my opinion were handled much better in this film. It showed how serious it actually. I felt like the topics in the 1961 film were watered down if not handled well. Another big thing about the topics was Anita's Assault. But I'm saving it for its own section. I also noticed how the Jets were transphobic to Anybodys, because in this film he is a trans male. It shows how much of assholes they are and what the trans community had to go through and still have to go through so much.

The Characters: WHEN I TELL YOU THE CHARACTERS WERE SHIT IN THE 1961, THEY WERE. Besides probably Anita, even then her character wasn't even that fleshed out. I get it's a musical, and at that more of an action musical, but they could have at least fleshed the characters out more. In this 2021 WSS, the characters have so much more personality and are better in general than the B-way and 1961 film versions. Even the main characters didn't feel complete like they do in this movie. Kushner did an amazing job with completing their personalities, even with some of the side characters, like Graziella, Chino, Baby John, and Anybodys. Also giving some backstory to the characters, like Tony and Riff's history, as well as Maria and Bernardo's relationship and backstory. Tony's character was potrayed so well, I hate Ansel Elgort because of what he did, but his character was done so well. As well as Bernardo, he was actually given a history to how he can fight. I did a whole other post about my rankings of the characters, so yeah.

Plot Holes: There. Were. Alot. Of. Plot. Holes in the original. They may have been minor, but still gave a lot of questions. For instance: Why isn't Chino that involved in the Jets? Why is Tony so hesitant to go and stop the rumble besides of Maria? Why is Riff so broken? And other questions. It fills it in for us, telling us that Tony had almost killed a man in the last fight he'd been in. Bravo Kushner and Spielberg for being able to fill the plot holes in.

Anita's Assault: This was such a tense, stressful, emotional, and vital scene in West Side Story. It always brings the waterworks and anger at the Jets for being so fucked up. In this, it feels so much more real, and so much more emotional. Just fear strikes into you, it also makes you want to pull a Tony and kill em- I hate it when there's S/A scenes in movies, but this actually has reasoning behind it. Without this, Anita would not have told the lie that Maria was shot and killed by Chino. I believe the Jets S/A'ed Anita because.

1. They're racist pieces of trash, so they already probably dehumanize people of color

2. The Jets definitely sexualized Anita because the part right before her assault, they made obviously sexual comments about her body and dancing. So even more dehumanizing her. Which leads to them seeing her like an object.

3. They felt weak and lost without Riff, he was like the glue that held them. Since he was able to bring them out of the dark and keep them stable even when times are tough. The Jets felt in power when Riff was leader, so they wanted something to control. They hated Bernardo and wanted to hurt the Sharks. Anita was Bernardo's girlfriend, and they knew that. So that happened.

So to conclude this section, the Jets are racist, rapist pieces of shit who I'd gladly hit with Riff's bat. No one deserves to be sexually harassed, assaulted, and or raped. A thing I loved is that Valentina actually called them what they are, and that is rapists. Also that despite Graziella's hate towards the Sharks and kind of Anita, she still tried to help Anita.

In conclusion, this is an awesome movie worth watching. The actors and actresses put their heart and soul into this movie. I hope this movie earns a lot of awards. Please don't let your hate for Ansel Elgort not make you watch the movie, it is an awesome movie worth it.

Relationship wise, Y/N has never been one with luck. She has never had the ability to jump from one relationship to other, it just wasn’t who she was. Instead, she spent several years being in love with the same person.

Ariana and Y/N met after they shared a studio session back in 2015. They wrote some songs together for Ariana’s upcoming album at that time. It took them two months and several cups of coffee to fall in love. Their relationship was mostly private, as neither of them wanted curious eyes all over their every move. Of course the media eventually caught up the two women weren’t just friends, but were romantically involved and after Ariana’s album dropped, it looked pretty serious.

However timing just wasn’t on their side, and for different reasons, they ended up going separate ways. Although that didn’t stop them from remaining friends, Y/N was still in love with her ex-girlfriend. She stayed there through tough times and not even once not dropped everything if Ariana called.

It was some time after their breakup when they found their way back to each other. They thought it was only fair to give it another shot, but it just didn’t work out. They both wanted different things and together came to the conclusion they were better off as friends, so Y/N and Ariana called it quits before they hurt the other bad enough they wouldn’t be able to be friends in the future.

For a lot of time, Y/N thought she wouldn’t be able to fall in love again, or at least have a somehow serious relationship with someone else. It took her time, but eventually she got there. With every day that passed, it got easier to move on.

And that’s when she met Harry.

A kind, shy man who has shown her a completely different side of the world, one that she was completely oblivious of before he came into her life. Although Harry was sure since the beginning about his feelings for her, it took Y/N a little while to open up to him and allow him to take her on a date. Sure, they hung out and stuff, but it was always with other people around in a friendly environment. Now there was nothing wrong with that, but Harry wanted more.

Almost a year after they first met, Harry and Y/N finally started dating. Things were great between the two of them. They both felt like there was something very… real in what they had. Quite frankly, they had never felt like this before. It truly felt like they were building a life together that could easily become a forever thing, and even though for some people it could be scary, for them it wasn’t. It felt good to have something stable after a long time of trying to find something that felt completely real and honest.

It wasn’t until Y/N felt like she was 100% over Ariana that they started talking again. Of course, they had missed each other but they both agreed it wouldn’t be so healthy to try to move on without putting some sort of distance between them. For them, it was so easy to become close friends again. It was like the old times, just with a few boundaries they had agreed on.

Last time Y/N saw her, was on Ariana’s first show of her tour. She had gone to support her, however she did not join her on tour like last time. And it was fine, honestly. Y/N felt like her life was complete now that she had her boyfriend and her best friend in it.

Now Y/N found herself spending more time in London with Harry than anywhere else in the world. And it was slowly starting to become her second home.

Around August, after taking a shower before getting ready to go out with Harry, Y/N received a text. It was from Ariana, she was inviting her to her next concert in London that was in a few days. Y/N bit her lip, thinking what it was best to do. Honestly? She wanted to go. It would be really nice to go see her perform after a few months of not seeing each other, and she could always bring Harry so he’d have a good time too.

“Babe, are you ready? Reservation’s at seven o’clock.” Harry came out of their walk-in closet with his clothes on his hands.

“Yeah, one second.” Y/N sent Ariana a quick text saying she’d ask Harry before looking up at him. “Hey, do you want to go to a concert this weekend?”

“Sure, who are we seeing?”

“Ariana.”

Now, Harry knew their story and how big of a roll Ariana was on his girlfriend’s life, and although it made him insecure at times (not that he’d ever say a word to her about it), he has come to accept that. Also, it wasn’t like Ariana was a stranger to him. They were also friends, just never been really close.

“I mean, I’m down. It’ll be fun if we go.” He shrugged, deciding it shouldn’t have to be a big deal.

“Awesome. I’ll tell her we’re going.” She smiled.

Inside of his head, Harry tried to convince himself they’d have a good time, and everything was going to be fine, although he wasn’t feeling so confident at the moment.

//

Saturday rolled in and all Y/N could talk about was the concert. She planned an outfit along with hair and makeup that with go along with her clothes. She was excited but also a little nervous. They’d most likely go backstage after the show, and it would be the first time the three of them would be together in the same room.

Harry has called a car that would drive them to the O2 Arena. Unfortunately, they ran a little late due traffic so when they arrived, they had to take her seats in the VIP box immediately because the show was about to start. Harry wrapped an arm around Y/N’s shoulder as they stood there waiting. Now, normally he wouldn’t be anywhere touchy with her if they were in public, but he was feeling particularly clingy today so he didn’t care if tomorrow there would be a billion of pictures of the two of them all over the internet.

The lights when out and the music started, making the twenty thousand people in the arena erupt in screams.

Aside from the two of them, there were other people in the VIP box. A couple of Ariana’s friends Y/N knew and some celebrities.

So far they were having a good time. Harry let loose a little and started dancing with Y/N too. He screamed the lyrics he knew and jumped around just like everyone else. After the fourth song passed, the energy lowered a little as a slower song came into the set list.

Y/N swallowed hard when she recognized the melody. R.E.M. was a song Ariana told her a long ago was written about Y/N a little before they broke up for the second time. In complete honesty, she loved the song. She loved it when Ariana showed it to her that night they stayed up until 2am just talking, long before it was out to the world, and she loved it now that she was hearing it along with twenty thousand people.

It brought a lot of memories back and the song that followed did not help.

Harry noticed her sudden change of behavior but chose to not point it out. Instead, he gave her hand a squeeze that quickly snapped her back to reality. She looked up at him and smiled, leaning into him a little.

Songs like Moonlight, Sometimes or Thinking Bout You, Y/N knew weren’t on the original set list of the concert. They were old songs Ariana didn’t really sing anymore, mainly because they were about her, and she was singing them now.

It only made her more nervous to step into backstage after the concert. And it wasn’t about any lingering feelings, truly. It just was kind of a lot to take in. She was in love with the woman for a long time, for the love of God.

One song before the concert ended, they decided to head backstage to avoid the crowd afterwards. Someone from the security team leaded the way to them and some other people who had the same idea and they waited patiently for the show to end.

“Did you have a good time?” She asked him.

“I did, haven’t danced like that in quite some time.”

“Me too.”

The couple held hands and stayed a little behind. There were people everywhere, both from the staff and friends that were hanging around. They heard Ariana say her goodbyes to the public before she ran off the stage. People rounded her to congratulate her for the show, she went around giving hugs to everybody until her eyes landed in Y/N.

Both girls squealed and crashed into a hug. “You’re here!”

“I promised I’d come, Ari.” Y/N said sweetly.

“I’m so happy you did. I changed the set list after you texted me.” Ariana gave her a dimpled smile, looking directly at her eyes.

“So I noticed.”

Harry caught awkwardly, not really knowing what to do with himself. Ariana and Y/N broke the eye contact as the first one went and hugged Harry. “Thank you for coming, Har.”

“Thank you for the invitation. We had a great time.” He didn’t really mean to, but subconsciously he emphasized the we.

“I’m happy you did.” She said. “I was thinking we could have dinner afterwards. Courtney’s also here somewhere.”

“Absolutely.” Y/N was quick to answer.

“Great, let me take a shower and grab my shit before we go.” Ariana walked away towards her dressing room.

“Do we have to go?” Harry almost whined.

“C’mon, it would be fun. Please?” She gave him those damn puppy eyes she knew he couldn’t resist. So he sighed and nodded, making her squeal. Y/N hugged him before she gave him a quick peck on the lips. “We won’t stay so long, I promise.”

Although he agreed on going, Harry kept quiet for most part of the dinner. Ariana and Y/N sat in front of the other so they were talking the whole time, giggling about things Harry did not understand as they were inside jokes they had. He did not feel comfortable at all by the end of the night, and it didn’t help the fact that Y/N was not acknowledging him.

“You need a ride home?” Ariana asked after dinner was paid and everyone was starting to get up from their seats.

Y/N was about to speak but Harry cut her off. “I have called a car, thank you though.” He didn’t want to sound rude, but he didn’t think he could stand a whole car ride with them probably seating next to each other giggling and whispering things.

“Oh, alright.” Ariana answered slowly. “I’ll be in London until next week, maybe we can meet up?” She said to Y/N.

“Totally, I’ll text you.”

The pair hugged tightly. Ariana waved at Harry a little awkwardly as she has already sensed his jealousy building up.

“Have you really called a car?” Y/N asked when it was only the two of them.

“Are you talking to me now?” He couldn’t help but say. He has in fact called a car, he did it the second they asked for the check. Y/N sighed, not really wanting to start anything while they were still in public.

Not long after that, a black range rover pulled up and they walked towards it to get in. This time, Y/N didn’t seat in the middle to be close to Harry. Instead, each of them sat by each end of the seat. The ride back to the house was quiet, none of them had really nothing to say to the other, but they were also gathering their thoughts because they knew what was going to go down once they entered the house.

The both of them thanked the driver before getting out of the car and into the house. Y/N took off her shoes and walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water, Harry following her steps.

“Are you going to tell me what is wrong?” She asked.

“I don’t know. Is there anything wrong?”

“Oh, c’mon. Don’t be like that.” She crossed her arms. “There’s something bothering you and I want to know what it is. Did you not have a good time?”

“I was until you started flirting with your bloody ex.” He finally said.

“Flirting? Harry, I was not flirting with her.”

“Yes, you were. And she was flirting with you too!” He accused. “Don’t think I didn’t notice how she was looking at you!”

“According to you, how was she looking at me?”

“Like she was still in love with you! Didn’t you see? She basically serenaded you back in the concert and had no problem admitting it. ‘I included these songs only because you told me you were coming’” He tried to copy her voice. “For fuck’s sake.”

“Well, I can exactly control what songs she includes in her show!”

“Oh, but you clearly enjoyed it, didn’t you? Must have felt good to have all her attention.”

“Now you’re being mean.” She said.

“No, I’m being honest. And I’m sorry if it makes me mad when your ex is all over you!”

“She was-”

“And you can’t even see it. Can’t you see how fucking insecure it makes me feel whenever you talk so highly of her? How am I supposed to top what you had with her?”

Y/N swallowed hard. “It is not a competition, you know? I don’t spend all our time together comparing what we have with what I had with her.”

“For you it might not be. But I do spend a lot of time worrying about you waking up one day and deciding you don’t love me as much as you love her. After all, you have found your way back to each other once, what assures me it won’t happen again?”

“It won’t.” She stated.

“You don’t know that.” He shakes his head. “What if one day you realize you can always go back to her? You’d leave me in a heartbeat.”

“How can you have such little trust in me? I love you, Harry.” Y/N almost cried out. “When my heart was broken, you were the only one there who helped me glue it back together. You. I would have never agreed on going on a date with you if I wasn’t over her.” She paused. “After I met you, I knew I had to get my shit back together so this,” She motioned the space between them. “would work. Because I wanted it to work. You have given me so much,” Her voice broke. “I don’t think I would ever stop loving you.”

“Baby-”

“And I’m sorry if I today I made you doubt that. It wasn’t my intention at all. I was just… I was excited, you know? You have to understand that while I dated Ariana in the past, I’m not in love with her anymore. Do I love her? Yes, I do. But it isn’t the kind of love I have for you, H. What I had with her had an expiration date, and I knew it. But I also know that I want to be with you forever. You’re my forever, not her.”

Harry chocked a laugh, allowing one tear to roll down his left eye. “You’re my forever too, baby.”

“I’m sorry.” She said again before wrapping her arms around his torso. “I love you so, so much. Please believe me.”

“I believe you, I do.” He mumbled before kissing the top of her head, hugging her back. “I’m sorry for being so insecure.”

“I know it isn’t exactly normal to be close with your ex, and i’m still working on setting boundaries.”

“I appreciate that.”

They both sighed happily, enjoying being in each other’s arms. “Do you get as excited as you were today when you listen to the songs I wrote for you?” He asked quietly after a while.

“Just as excited, if not more. I love it when you sing me my song.”

“The one about us dancing in the kitchen or the one about me eating your pu-”

“Way to ruin the moment, Styles.”

Okay darlings, I saw the new West Side Story film today and I have Things (they’re all good) to say. So, I’m a massive musical theatre nerd, I was basically raised on them, and I did see WSS once on stage when I was a kid and I’ve seen the movie a few times. While it’s not really one that I’ve seen over and over again, I do really appreciate it, I adore the music, the dancing is awesome- so I was really excited to see this remake. 

After seeing the absolute trainwrecks that were Les Miserables and Cats (the latter being a much bigger trainwreck, obviously) I can safely say... thank god, this movie didn’t suck. 

Ok, so here’s the things I loved:

The music! Oh my god, the music sounded AMAZING!

The dancing was so tight- ok, it’s not like the original choreography, but I think that’s good. Not dissing the original choreography - it’s iconic for a reason - but this new choreography was so great and really set this apart from the original film. 

They. Didn’t. Cast. A-list. Actors. With. Little. To. No. Musical. Experience. For. Marketing. Purposes... they cast actors who knew what the fuck they were doing... they cast musical theatre actors for a musical movie. THANK GOD! And I would love to see these actors in other films, not just musical films. Mike Faist was so good at making me love-and-hate Riff, Ariana DeBose... *throws the Oscar at her*, and I’m sorry that was Rachel Zegler’s FILM DEBUT?! WOW! Also those guys in Gee, Officer Krupke were so good! And Anybodys?! Holy shit?! Talk about a scene-stealer! 

Cool. So, Cool is my favourite WSS musical number. I love that song so damn much. So, you can imagine my surprise when it didn’t happen after the rumble, but before the rumble... but I didn’t care, that was a very creative switch-up. Because now you’ve got Tony saying “just play it cool” and then ten minutes later THAT happens, so nice bit of foreshadowing there. Also holy shit, Ansel can dance! Look I’m not that oblivious, I know about the allegations but from what I heard from people on the ‘net I was pleasantly surprised at how good he was. 

That scene with Anita and the Jets is still horrific to watch but I’m relieved that they changed it so the Jet girls weren’t just sitting back and cheering them on! Seriously, that always bothered me! So to see them actively try to stop those creeps was a very welcome change. 

This film looks gorgeous. See, this is a gritty and realistic musical movie done right *glares at Tom Hooper* because it looks like a real place but it’s still got that epic scale to it. The lightning was beautiful, the shots were so damn good, and you really felt like you were in this world. 

Rita. Moreno. Need I say more? 

My problems:

It dragged a bit... yeah I know it’s WSS and it’s a long show but yeah. 

...yeah that’s my only problem! The film made me remember why I love musicals so much, and why I loved watching musical movies as a kid. I’m so glad I finally got to see it. 

I give it 9/10 (taking a point off for the dragging but that’s a very minor issue I have)

2014: Internalized Misogyny Edition

Song of the year: “Turn Down for What” DJ Snake, Lil Jon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUDVMiITOU Everyone I’ve ever subjected to this video has viscerally hated it. You’re welcome. @unicornery once described it as “if you watched The Raid: Redemption backwards, and also they were all perverts.” (Video features the awesome Sunita Mani.)

“Fancy” Iggy Azalea, Charli XCX. The random man who likes to comment on these reviews on my Facebook without fully understanding the assignment can get excited now because we’re finally up to 2014. I feel compelled to point out that Iggy Azalea is a subject of the British crown: originally from Sydney, Australia, her rap voice is entirely studied. Offensive minstrelsy or loving homage? “First things first: I’m the realest.”

“Problem” Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea. This was my introduction to Ariana Grande, who I still think of as “a lovely young lady with a high ponytail and a nice voice who doesn’t enunciate properly” based on this song.

“Wrecking Ball” Miley Cyrus. Is there a smaller font I can use? Because… I like this song?

“Shake It Off” Taylor Swift. Another banger that I’m embarrassed to admit, because of internalized misogyny. I really could do without ever hearing her utter the phrase “these sick beats” but otherwise I have no complaints.

Last week, I didn’t mention “Royals” by Lorde. Immediately after posting, the song was guiltily stuck in my head. Luckily for me, “Royals” charted again in 2014, along with “Team,” which starts off as a much, much cooler song before settling down to just being a good song.

“Habits (Stay High)” Tove Lo. I remember hearing this song at some point in probably 2014-2015 and having an uncharacteristically prudish response of “this isn’t a good message for the young people.” As 2021 crashes to a close, I will now modify this stance to be “staying high all the time is probably not a bad strategy.”

“Counting Stars” OneRepublic. OneRepublic is NOT the boy band with that handsome Zayn Malik in it. It’s a regular rock band. This is a catchy one.

“Anaconda” Nicki Minaj. You know I love Nicki, so in the spirit of feminism, here’s her inclusive message for all body types:

Yeah, this one is for my bitches with a fat ass in the fucking club

I said, where my fat ass big bitches in the club?

Fuck the skinny bitches, fuck the skinny bitches in the club

I wanna see all the big fat ass bitches in the motherfucking club

Fuck you if you skinny bitch, what? Kyuh

“Wiggle” Jason Derulo, Snoop Dogg. “You know what to do with that big fat butt”

Country music barometer for 2014: 9%. It helps that Taylor Swift is now fully pop music.
