OMG THANK YOU SOMEONE GETS IT
YES the books are so so much more better than the movies. I feel like the books are rather underappreciated, mostly because I don’t think people even realize they are a book! And if they do/when they find out, they seem to think that they were written AFTER the movie… Which helllllo no? Plus the plot COMPLETELY strays from the original stories (which is 12 books long!) and they got the characters ALLLLL wrong. Like so wrong. Just Toothless alone! He’s not supposed to be this giant black missing-part-of-his-tail dragon. He’s the size of a house cat, green, and toothless (duh!) and also really annoying in a cute younger brat brother way
Bleh. I could go on and on about this ha. But Stellaria, thank you for mentioning that (also your name sounds and looks super gorgeous) -
See? That’s part of the reason I don’t like the films, because now nobody knows about the books! Fair warning, the films also had like nothing to do with the books, so they might seem very different but they’re really fun 🙂 [especially the last few books, those are my favorites]

Um. Stanley is so overrated. GUYS. It can’t really fit into your backpack, and 40+ dollars for an inconvenient waterbottle is crazy.

this post will probably be my downfall, but i didn’t care for kpop demon hunters 🙁 the animation style was beautiful and i loved the aesthetic of it, but i think they focused way too much on the songs and too little on the plot…it just seems like it could have been summed up in 30 minutes.
(this is just my opinion, though, and if you like it then that’s totally fine!)

I don’t care for it at all, personally, and have not really watched it.
-
I haven’t seen it yet cause I don’t have access to to it, but my besties that have seen it absolutely hate it.

Update, Now I have a personal vendetta against the show since one of the characters is named Rumi.
Rumi is also the name of a 13th century Persian Sufi poet.
It is really annoying trying to search for words of inspiration and the search results returning an animated teenage girl in a crop top.

just because you aren’t of color/LGBTQ/a certai ethnicity/a certsain religion does NOT mean that you cannot support people who are

Disney is overrated. They have had a lot of anti-feminism in their movies, and they care more about money than anything else. ):
-
Which movies, and give me an example.
I get the wanting to make more money, and also, the movies aren’t as good anymore!!!

Well, there are their old fairy tale movies, which isn’t too surprising. But I think there are a lot more than just that. If a movie doesn’t preform well, sometimes they’ll say it’s because it has progressive themes. Which is an awful thing for them to say because REPRESENTATION IS IMPORTANT! THE EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT QUITE A FEW OF THOSE MOVIES FAILED FOR DIFFERENT REASONS! They really only care about the money! In Wreak It Relph, there are two tough female characters. But both of them still get saved by guys in the end. They really are scared to write tough female characters without them getting rescued, falling in love, or wearing pink. I could probably go on about this for ages, since there are a lot of examples, but I should probably stop here. I didn’t mean to make this reply so long! 😅 (This issue upsets me a LOT, can’t you tell?)

Oh, makes sense now! Thanks for the explanation, Pea Vine!!

Thank you, Thaloriwn!

From vice.verses.virtue:
in addition to what pea vine said:
i would also like to see a young woman in popular media that enjoys wearing pink and frilly clothes and dresses, but is more than capable of taking care of herself! let the whimsical, cottage-core/coquette girls be tough and strong while still being beautiful and loving soft things. i don’t see a problem with female characters being tough and not wearing pink (take susie and dess from deltarune), however i do truly enjoy seeing soft, warm characters (frills and all) being able to defend themselves and just kick butt.
although there’s nothing wrong with a character needing saving, it gets old fast when it’s the young woman being saved by the big strong man multiple, multiple times. i like it when there’s a healthy balance of being saved and saving others.
this is not meant to discredit anything that pea vine said, i agree with all of it! this is in addition to what they said. (also, representation in media is absolutely terrible. disney is especially notorious for this. a great show to watch if you’re looking for good, tasteful representation is The Owl House–although it’s a disney cartoon, it’s wholesome and fun, and even touches on serious issues.)
