the comments on this banana bread recipe go crazy

for everyone in the notes asking for the recipe, i found it, it's this one:

Taylor Swift at the 36th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

“The female artists that I know of have reinvented themselves 20 times more than the male artists. They have to… or else you’re out of a job. Constantly having to reinvent, constantly finding new facets of yourself that people find to be shiny.”

Taylor Swift | Miss Americana (2020)

I wonder if Mirabel is the favorite Madrigal for most of the town.

Because while there's some obvious pity there for her being the only born Madrigal without a gift she's still, well, the only born Madrigal without a gift. The only Madrigal that's like the rest of them.

I mean clearly Encanto is a close community and they all love the Madrigal's for how they help the town but they're still a bunch of super powered people in an isolated place. It wouldn't surprise me if at some point down the line they started being looked at with some fear, like what was already happening with Bruno.

It's like that one post that talked about the potential of "Encanto Gothic" and the unsettlingness of the Madrigal's gifts. Like there are some things that can be turned to fear or can be used the see the family as gods.

But then you have Mirabel. Who's giftless like the rest of the town. Who is clumsy and a bit awkward. Who reminds them that the Madrigal's are still human. That they, while blessed with incredible abilities, aren't gods separate from everyone else.

While the town was probably very confused and concerned when Mirabel didn't get a gift, there was still likely some subconscious relief and a bit more appreciation for her.

I bet you couldn’t believe when you realized I’m harder to forget than I was to leave.

“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”

a hero emerges 

And just like in the novels, grown men and women are going out of their way to destroy her. Support our hero.

And it’s not even like it doesn’t happen regularly.  

Teenage girls are amazing.

Sometimes they’re not even teenagers

This isn’t a coincidence. Revolutions almost always happen when the population of a country is at its youngest and that’s a lot more true nowadays with social media.

Claudette Colvin was actually the first one to refuse her seat in Montgomery, Alabama to a white passenger. The movement chose to promote Rosa Parks as the figure for that form of protest because Claudette was a pregnant 15-year-old girl.

Barbara Rose Johns was a 16-year-old who organized a student strike protesting segregated schools. This strike, after gaining support of the NAACP, became a lawsuit that turned into Brown vs. The Board of Education and resulted in the desegregation of U.S schools nationally.

7th-grader Mary Beth Tinker, disturbed by the Vietnam War, decided to wear an arm band with a peace sign on it in protest. Her school suspended her. Her family filed a suit, Tinker vs. Des Moines, which reached the Supreme Court and ruled in her favor, ensuring that students and teachers maintain their right to free speech while in school.

Freddie & Truus Oversteegen were sisters who joined a Dutch resistance movement in WWII in their teens. They lured, ambushed, and assassinated Nazis and Dutch collaborators. They also blew up a railway line, transported Jewish refugees to new hiding places, and worked in an emergency hospital. 

Our history books may like to showcase male figures, but behind every movement is a young girl ready to make a change. It was true then, it’s true now, and future generations of teenage girls will go on to inspire progress, whether they’re credited or not.

This is Lepa Radic, a 17 year old girl who fought against the Nazis in Yugoslavia. She was executed when she refused to give the names of her Partisan comrades.

And this is Sophie Scholl, part of the White Rose group, also against the Nazis. She was 21 when she was killed.

Girls are at the front of every movement

Reblog bc females are life.

still so charmed by the way rose tyler is so unapologetically lower class without the narrative like. consistently telling you that. it’s all stuff you see between her flat and her bottle blonde hair with roots poking through and and her clumpy mascara and her clothes that don’t fit quite right and her passion for looking out for the underdog. it’s just so refreshing to have the protagonist of a show not be so squeaky clean and polished or a complete antihero but just some completely normal girl shaped by the way she grew up

Rose Tyler met aliens and immediately went “Hello, do you know what unions are? Do you want to learn?” and that’s so powerful of her.

I have a cryptic need to reblog this as much as possible

Are we gonna ignore the sounds this man is making

The transition at the end is SENDING ME

ares in myth: patron of the amazons, helps the founder of the amazons escape her abusive husband, murders his daughter's would-be rapist and is willing to go to tartarus for it, showers his children of all genders in gifts, encourages aphrodite's warlike aspect, loves and defends his mother, is called "ares gynaikothoinas", literally "feasted by women"

ares in modern media: a misogynist for some reason

if this post gets 500,000 notes, I’ll start a revolution in france

les miserables 2: not enough of us died last time

to this day i cannot BELIEVE aang called up and blew off like nine avatars just because they didnt offer any vegan options to ending the war

roku: my best friend assaulted me as a senior citizen :(

kyoshi: sometimes some murder is OK

kuruk: just punch people that disagree with you

aang: okay i’m starting to think that none of you took this avatar thing seriously

You’re not wrong

Aang when he is told he’s the Avatar at age 12: *has a melt down because he understands the seriousness of this function and the consequences his new responsibilities will have on his personal life* 

other Avatars at age 16: I’m the avatar? Cool! Hey look it comes with a glowing eyes feature! 

The only other competent Avatar was Kyoshi but her and Aang are such different people they will never agree on almost anything and I love that for them

aang and kyoshi were the only recent avatars to come into power during wars. 

kyoshi with chin the conquerer and the earth nation war, and aang with the fire nation. they had to grow up and take it seriously. but kyoshi didnt grow up in a culture that honored every living thing and believed violence was never justified, to the point that they were vegetarian pacifists without a standing army. 

kyoshi’s advice to aang was practical. people will die, you have to act, you have to be the justice in the world. aang then realizes he needs spiritual advice, not practical advice.

yangchen, the other air nomad avatar, tells aang that yes, their people believe in spiritual enlightenment as the end goal, and that it’s extremely important. but that the avatar cant do that, so, give it up. its just not in the cards for you. 

but yangchen had other nomads around her- she could in a sense, martyr herself to save the world and protect her people as a warrior. 

aang doesn’t have that option. he can’t be a martyr- he has to live, both physically and spiritually, to ensure his culture and his people live on- to ensure the avatar itself lives on. he has nothing and no one to fall back on. 

yeah he was already extremely mature for his age and took it incredibly seriously as a child- he was a mild-mannered, gentle spirit, who, as we see through other avatars but most notably his successor, korra, and his son’s family, was already extremely adept and competent at manifesting the spiritual side of being the avatar. aang’s spirituality is incredibly important to his character in ways we dont even truly realize until after he’s gone.

and so, to preserve himself and his people, he does what humanity needs him to do, what humans have always had to do since the dawn of time when the need is greatest. he evolves. 

I’m so glad to see others actually understanding the show

Aang’s great loss
