Oh sweetie take care <3

Thanks, lovely.

aww, it’s okay honey muffin, it happens to me all the time. seeing your favorite things constantly get whitewashed will do that to you. now i really want to make a graphic of live-action Howl’s Moving castle to match the animated version!

I do feel really bad about it though. Lately, I’ve been feeling like a lot of things I’m doing are wrong or confused if they’re right, and yeah, it makes me feel bad that I didn’t actually look into it before replying.

I hopefully think they were fan-casting for the novel, which takes place in Wales and some magical kingdom Ingary. But even then, it’s exhausting that they would automatically be fan-casted white. -_-

Yeah, the characters even in the book (from the descriptions I just looked up lol) don’t automatically have to be white. I do think it would be better for a live action adaption to have Japanese characters because of the widespread popularity of the animated version, but not doing that is definitely not anywhere near as bad a whitewashing, and I’m sorry I jumped to conclusions. I get very defensive over children in particular having stories whitewashed because of the internalized racism I had as a kid for myself and the way I looked. It was wrong of me to impetuously assume that the Studio Ghibli version of the tale was the original or only one;

i kinda think hes hot but theres so many waaaaaaaaaaaay hotter men out there like shit i could write an essay on that topic

I just don’t really see the appeal?? I mean he’s in shape, but other than that I don’t really get it. Besides that, I also feel mild revulsion for various reasons I can’t really explain, but I just don’t understand.

toiletdiving replied to your post: I will never understand how Adam Levine is so…

there is nothing appealing about him

my mom thinks he has nice hair lol

Whoa, that sounds like some The Day After Tomorrow freakiness. Also, hello darling! How did your German project go?

I didn’t finish it on time.

whoa, i really truly know this feeling. Can you talk to your teacher about it, or a classmate, just so you can get some clarity?

Teachers tend to get frustrated with me and think I’m difficult when I do that, when my peers (especially the boys) hear me ask for clarification, they interrupt me really rudely, often, and say that I’m being annoying or “all RIGHT” to shut me up. Teachers also hate when you are late to their classes even if you have a pass, so staying after for an explanation usually isn’t something I like to do. I don’t like asking other students because a_ they usually don’t care, and b) they don’t understand why I’m confused or how I could possibly interpret the directions in more than one way or why it’s a big deal. Also, there’s no time left for this one.

What do you need help with sweetie?

No, I’m just venting to tumblr. When I’m stressed out about something or don’t want to do it, I distract myself as a (less than healthy) coping mechanism. I have to make a scrapbook for German class, and I really don’t want to finish it or do the writing.

I feel that Brienne doesn’t view hirself as a woman, and the misogyny is hir own, from years of emotional abuse and self-loathing.

I haven’t read the books (and I understand the show doesn’t actually portray the books verbatim), but from what I know of Brienne’s character, she admires other women, and compared dying in childbirth to dying in battle, so I’d disagree if book Brienne’s character is anything to go off of, and if my understanding about her is correct. (I don’t know if you’ve read the books either; that’s just what I understand from them.)

it’s only begun

Nooooooooo…

It kind of sounds like a bug or fever, at least the diahrrea and back pains parts do. Do you have any banana, applesauce, white rice or t toast? Eating those items help relieve diahrrera

I don’t think we have bananas or applesauce, but I’m not hungry anyway. Ugh, I might have something, and I feel terrible, but my mom probably won’t let me stay home two days in a row.

the fuck is wrong with him, you didn’t even tag him in this! is he fucking stalking you or s/t!?

seriously, that post got 3 notes wtf

You shouldn’t hate just boys, all of humanity is fucked up.

When I say, “I hate boys,” it’s usually an indirect way of saying, “I hate institutionalized misogyny and how it encourages selfishness and narcissism in boys which in turn encourages them to treat me like a lesser human being who is not allowed to express emotions or opinions in a way that is outside of patriarchal presets which ingrain superiority into them.”

Oooh! We did Bye Bye Birdie in high school. Yeah, the key to that one is totally embracing the ridiculousness. Most of the characters are … meh. The only ones I really liked were Rosie and Ursula. Best of luck!!

Our Rosie lead is kind of meh, and there was more than a little discontent among the cast which caused strife with our director. Our Ursula is great though. Though show itself is just not my cup of tea because I feel like it’s just comedy comedy comedy (a lot of which is outdated so we have to rely on looking ridiculous) with nothing meaningful thrown in to mitigate that because the patched relationships are so rushed and skin deep that they don’t resonate.

crissonastick replied to your photoset: stage make up feels really gross, but I haven’t…

what musical are you doing?

Bye Bye, Birdie

How to Succeed last year was much better, but this one is kind of coming together. The main characters’ storylines aren’t really engaging imo, and the only good parts are in the whole ridiculousness of the show, but it’s better than I thought it would be. We still need to make a lot come together, and the show is in two days. ahhhh
