Stories from the Audition Room with Idina Menzel. (x)
Oh btw Yzma is a golden example of a likeable non sympathetic villain. The audience knows she is totally evil and pretty much un redeemable but the writers and character designers did such an excellent job of making her so likeable and visually appealing A fucking plus
Kronks redemption arc has yet to be rivaled nothing can ever fucking compare.
OP did u just fucking call Yzma “visually appealing”?????
In terms of character design Yzma is visually appealing, the artists did a great job picking out colours and perfecting her silhouette. Using those design principles, they created an expressive villain that is fun to watch on screen.
op is absolutely right in that observation, good character design is about good use of shapes, curves and angles. Yzma is a fantastic example of that.
A d we can’t sideline Eartha Kitt for literally breathing life into her character to the point of perfection. Yzma was really was an exemplary villain.
“You just like She-Ra because it’s gay and body diverse and all women!”
Yup. I do. And here’s why:
I don’t have to watch every character get trimmed down to fit into some feminine archetype or another. I don’t have to watch their relationships get pruned, rewritten, carefully tiptoed around lest they come off as gay. Without homophobia and sexism as a perpetual critical eye, carving and rearranging and judging, always judging, always eager to box and to correct and to exclude, characters and art have room to breathe and innovate.
Catra and Adora’s relationship would not be so rich if not for its ability to evolve and grow beyond typical the typical barriers assigned to two girls, to let romantic subtext happen because they don’t need to hide it or queerbait or make it one of a handful of specific gay tropes. The Best Friends Squad would not be so well knit if there was an executive looking over and saying “Glimmer can be affectionate but not that much” or “We need more emphasis on Bow just being a friend”. When Glimmer cuddles with Adora in the pool or holds her gently, I don’t see the crushing silence of those girls in high school, the reminder that this was going to be completely platonic or else, that box that must be maintained. I just see two people, expressing affection, and letting the chips fall where they may because it’s okay where they end up.
The queerness and diversity of She-Ra is not a checklist, it’s a liberation. It’s freedom from all the tired old tropes and assumptions assigned to women’s personalities, aesthetics, and relationships both in media and out. It’s growth, it’s subversion, whatever you want to call it, it’s new and rich and ripe with potential.
So yeah. I like She-Ra because it’s gay. Die mad about it.
SBE - stupid bitch energy
FINALLY some representativity
representativity
DO NOT BRING CHILDREN IN THIS LIFE IF YOUR MARRIAGE IS TOXIC
DO NOT BRING CHILDREN IN THIS LIFE IF YOU AREN’T FINANCIALLY STABLE OR HAVE A HOME FOR THEM
DO NOT BRING CHILDREN IN THIS LIFE IF YOU’RE EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE OR MENTALLY IMMATURE
Y’all know this is eugenics right….
Like no disrespect to anybody on this because the energy here is protecting kids and making sure they have healthy However we should be very wary about advocating for who can and cannot have kids.
1) it’s an issue of reproductive autonomy a thing many people especially women have been denied past and present. E.g slave breeding abortion rights
2) people who are “emotionally or mentally unstable” shouldn’t have to give up their reproductive autonomy. they need treatment and assistance in healing. Not to have their rights abridged. We should have a society dedicated to getting these folks help same with toxic environments. Toxic environments can change provided the appropriate support.
3) housing is a human right and poverty is the fault of capitalism’s wastefulness. These are problems of how we organize our world not on the ability to parent
If we’re to put this into legislation the majority of people who would be allowed to vote would be white folk given the impacts of systemic racism
We all want the kids to be ok but the best way to do isn’t about isn’t to opine about who is best suited to have and raise kids (b/c eugenics). The best way is to help support healthy environments for those kids and undoing harmful social systems.
imagine not loving bi women with your entire heart LMAO what an ugly life that would be
