Im Wine Drunk And In Tears Over This Garfield

not watching disney plus shows is something only the most dedicated members of the revolutionary vanguard are capable of... you can't reasonably expect an average person to make such a sacrifice

i love alight motion

we're at the tail end of tumblr's ibuprofen era and right at the peak of its toys era. every day I look in the mirror and see a different man than I saw yesterday.

"disney BETTER stay away from (their own property)" Hey i have bad news for you. this isn't to say it's always been bad, just. dont be surprised. dont let it be a shock. dont give it that power

i get disney remakes are bad. i am very much on the side of "they are doing this purely to keep ownership or their IPs so of course they will be soulless, and as it is, adapting an animated film to live action is frustrating to see when it is surrounded by the narrative that live action is better or more work or more real (which is always the narrative) as opposed to an equally valid, if not more cumbersome, craft."

but ohhh my god seeing ppl break down the things wrong w lilo n stitch (cool fine yeah yes good to point those things out) and then be so Shocked abt it is making me insane. wdym you are suprised. yes disney darkening the skin of actors Is insane but why are we typing as though it is at all surprising. was i just more cynical from the get go. even ppl who agree with me going "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" at every shitty change is like. Girl Why are you surprised. is this for the fun of it. is this your genuine reaction are you so shocked you have to yell and flail around.

i get it is fun to be reactive and loud abt how bad a movie is. that's fine. lowkey none of this matters but whyyyy do we waste energy going WHAT WHAT YOU RUINED MY CHILDHOOD WHAT ??? Girl Hey we already know disney uses performative wokeness as a shield to do whatever they want to spend less and make more. just cuz that terribleness is visible in a movie doesn't mean that now your childhood is ruined. it doesn't have to be black and white. you enjoyed lilo and stitch as a kid when it was the original story, the company went on to reuse it as soulless corporate propoganda. shrugs. that's it. your childhood is still intact.

I hate 2 say it but being a part of a “weird” subculture does not meaningfully inoculate you against a conservative moralizing impulse. You gotta unlearn that. Saying “cringe is dead” is not enough, you have to actually be okay with things that discomfort, perplex and/or disgust you.
