Whats insane about Disney’s decision to replace Tarzan’s treehouse with its former theme, Swiss Family Robinson is that it sort of like, another Disney Remake. Its a carbon copy of what was already there and doesnt really add anything except the ability to rexperience the magic of your childhood(if youre like 40).

But also like??? Why now why the SFR????? Theres no remake coming out on Disney+ as far as I’m aware and Tarzan’s treehouse was great for Toddlers and Little Kids who needed energy to burn. If they wanted to do a retheme theres a perfectly good scene from the movie Encanto—treehouse and all—they couldve borrowed from. I just dont get it.

back when jude was a kid, and her mom was, you know, alive, she pretty much always had some kind of wisdom to impart on jude - or maybe she just liked hearing herself talk? either way, most of what jude knew was from her mom. if you get a flat tire, open your shirt a little and wait for a guy to walk by, or midol works better for hangovers than aspirin, and aspirin works better than motrin. of course, perhaps the sagest and most useful advice jude ever got from her mom was this: “jude, baby, one of these days you’ll need to find a better outlet than picking fights. somebody’s gonna hit you.” this is also the only piece of advice jude has chosen to staunchly ignore.

she’d never thought she’d think it, but... maybe alana’s living right. that’s what jude’s thinking as she ambles towards shane, mango juice dripping from the corners of her mouth as she finished off one of erin’s mangoes. 

jude doesn’t have the vocabulary to describe why she feels the need to pick fights sometimes - like she’s not real, not tangible if she’s not getting under someone’s skin, especially now, as she feels her identity slipping away from her because it’s all sand, all sand and we’re-gonna-die and just a stranded girl and not Jude, jude who can’t keep her mouth shut, jude who can’t keep her hands still, like if she’s not being told off then she’s being ignored entirely, like to be hated is to be known, and anything else is lonely, too lonely to bear. 

“i was wondering when you and jenny would finally play tonsil hockey. i mean, it’s been over a week since any of us brushed our teeth, so i feel like you two probably created some kind of ecosystem, but whatever. you guys desert island swiss family robsinson lovers now, starting an anti first aid cult or something? that’s kinda sweet. i think getting some will be good for both of you. god knows it would be good for the rest of us.” not that either half of shenny would consider sharing, probably.

NO ONE else cares but i love how in swiss family robsinson every story is in three parts so 2/3 episodes have a super dramatic intense cliffhanger where someone is like, dying, but in the editing it's like 'HEEEELP' (smash cut to beautiful tropical waves) 🎵time to go, our shi-i-ip is le-aving🎵
