what do you mean some people of the og creative team have bought the criticisms against ariel?

Hi friend! When I mentioned that even some of the original creative team behind Ariel has fallen prey the negative discourse surrounding Ariel, what I meant was in the 1980s, it was clear what was meant to be accomplished through Ariel. Production wanted to give voice to an independent, stubborn, proactive character who risked it all for a chance to explore life above the sea. Yet, a lot of the bad takes about Ariel that are inaccurate about the film and surfaced in the 2000s and 2010s have brainwashed some of the creative team that worked on her and got them to succumb to this flawed rhetoric. I would definitely say the worse of these would be Brenda Cha*pman. It's not super surprising because she's pretty misogynistic and hateful- she literally called Snow White an idiot and insults fairytales/classic princesses whenever she can. Even Jodi Benson though, as much as I love her and as much reverence as she's given Ariel, has kinda had to show her belly and say things like "of course Ariel isn't as strong as the princesses we have now because society's progressed, but she was appropriate for the decade in which she was released."

And Jodi's great, don't get me wrong, but that totally contradicts another quote she gave in the 80s about how Ariel would be a timeless portrayal because of the very human characterization they gave her and it gives off the impression that Ariel is, now, dated. "Ariel is a tomboy, feisty, fiery, and slightly rebellious, but a true romantic at heart, all things I can see in me. She was not an abstract character, and one strength I especially see is that Ariel is not trapped in a 1989 portrayal. I think she'll be just as believable in 20 or 30 years as she is now because the emotions she portrays are that universal." And I agree with her original take. A woman who displayed the qualities we mentioned above would still have the same qualities today. When society changes, it's the opportunities women have but not women themselves. It isn't as if women who were born at a certain time point were simpering idiots who waited for their fate to direct them aimlessly, lacking ambition entirely, and women who were born later were just magically more independent and intelligent. I think this is the line of thought a lot of critics have about women and the feminist movement though, and a lot of what's been displayed through the live action films we've seen so far- Rachel Z***** in the live action Snow White being the most aggressive about it in her most recent interviews- and I really hope that in a few years, we'll see how harmful these ideologies are and counterproductive to how we see and treat people.

welcome to another installment of 'what if the radiant emperor was a whole nother thing', vol. shounen manga

this was fueled by a completely normal post wondering abt ouyang's blade, and then me trying to figure out a universe where he'd wield the zhanmadao

there's something so raw about the doctor abandoning ruby before she could abandon him first. you made me a better person. be proud of yourself. but sorry. you have your family to go back to now. let's make this a clean break yeah 😊 ruby sunday, goodbye. the picture perfect goodbye. not one of abandonment, not really! not when it's like this. he genuinely thinks he's doing her a service with this dead-eyed generic hallmark giftcard goodbye. she deserves so much, and this is all he can give her. but then ruby has to make it personal. she has to say i love you. because she of course, does. and he has to know. but the doctor is incapable of such emotion or honesty at the moment. puts on a dazzling smile and turns away. and then they both break and they walk further and further away from each other

Imagine if Nico could learn to control when he turns into shadows.

Like, in The Blood of Olympus Nico would start fading after shadow traveling too much, and sometimes Reyna and Coach Hedge wouldn't be able to touch him, and one time he even accidentally walked through a tree. Imagine if he learned to control that intangibility.

Imagine if he could just turn parts of his body into shadows. Imagine if, in a fight, someone swings at him, and he knows he can't dodge in time, so he turns into shadows for a second so the weapon goes right through him, and while his enemy is confused he uses the distraction to land the final blow.

Imagine if he could just walk/reach through walls and doors and stuff.

I just think that, for someone with the title of ghost king (and as a child of the Underworld), he deserves more ghost-like powers.

funny thing about aus in which another one of the party joins the loops with siffrin is that, while the others are 10x more likely to mention the loops, i cant imagine any of them would go to siffrin first.
