Dead Poets Society (1989) dir. Peter Weir

People forget that in the Disney fairy tale films, wishes and dreams represented hope: specifically, hope for a better future when current times were tough. The movies were made for people who lived through the Great Depression and Second World War. Snow White and Cinderella were survivors of abuse who wanted to be loved, Pinocchio wanted to become and be recognized as a real person, Bambi and Dumbo lost their mothers and had to find their own ways in the world. But these characters all held onto hope via their wishes and dreams.

So it feels a little demoralizing when modern Disney films try to deconstruct "wishes and dreams" as passive acts. They're trying to tell people to pick themselves up by the bootstraps, because nothing's gonna change unless you change something. Which is true, I guess.

But deconstructing wishes and dreams feels a bit like deconstructing hope itself. And maybe I'm reaching with that connection, but it doesn't sit right with me.

You must promise me that you will stay who you are.

Love to celebrate that peach 😛🍑

"When we first met him, he was a counselor. He was a counsel of soldiers. He was a humanitarian. He was a helper. Now we see him grow into all of those principles and all of those fundamentals that he had; he's taken those with him to become Captain America." — Anthony Mackie 🪽

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

— Anthony Mackie reacts to Captain America action figure and thanks his teachers

And he’s RIGHT. Fuck everyone who is throwing a fit over Mackie speaking the truth. He and Chris Evans know this role better than anyone. Captain America is a figure of American propaganda both in the real world and in the MCU, despite how the characters Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson and actors Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie feel. If you just see the red, white and blue, the propaganda, and not what these characters have stood for, that’s on you. And if you think that America represents honor and dignity for everyone, wake the fuck up. Honestly, just look out the window.

This scene has probably been one of the most requested ones since I started doing these Muppet Princess Bride illustrations, but I held off attempting it for the longest time because I had no idea if I could pull off Miss Piggy's famous karate chop, and the shot of Kermit falling down the hill. But after hunkering down and putting pen to (digital) paper I managed to get something I'm pretty proud of!

Honestly, I'd love to see Muppet Princess Bride become a reality if only because I wanna see them huck Kermit down a hill. Muppets being thrown is peak comedy to me.

If you could fix one thing in the MCU, what would it be?

Bonus points if you link us your OC or Reader fic that you've written to fix it.

nah since marvel is trending again I’m going to say it again louder for the people in back — canon steve rogers would never have chosen an “idyllic 1950s white pickett fence life” because the only place that man belonged was a picket LINE. the whole point of his character was that his work was never done. there was always going to be another oppressor, another bully, another person who takes advantage of the underprivileged for him to stand up to. from the moment he gained consciousness he, a chronically ill son of a working class mother living below the poverty line, used his voice and his body to protect & fight for what he believed in. I’m not sure there was ever a time pre-super soldier serum where he didn’t have a black eye. he could put the shield down all he wanted but he could never retire from being steve rogers — someone who never once turned a blind eye, who never once wanted a “reward” for his work, who never once abandoned his friends. this isn’t up for debate. this is almost a century of comic book & film/animated precedent. he may have been a man out of time, but in his words “it’s tempting to want to live in the past. it’s familiar, it’s comfortable. but it’s where fossils come from”
