Nothing but bad art

Ken would 110% say “This one’s for you Barbie”, shoot the basketball, and end up knocking himself out somehow

I hate this disclaimer "it wasn't a perfect movie BUT" shit when it comes to films like Barbie and Red, White, and Royal Blue like shit who was expecting perfection from a film about a gd toy and a queer little romcom made by Amazon of all things??? Like no one says "Ant Man Quantumania wasn't a perfect movie~~ but-" like it's fucking dumb to expect perfection from ANY movie but I hate these Olympic high expectations from films like Barbie and RWRB like god damn can we just exist without the disclaimer??? Can I not just say I enjoyed Barbie and RWRB without layering myself in logic armor I'm not roger ebert who would have fucking loved Barbie

so so tired of people acting like it's taboo/embarrassing/shameful to be attracted to a fat person

i am fat and complete strangers have accused people i've dated of being chubby chasers, fat fetishists, or have just generally made rude comments about there being a size difference in the relationship

if you find a fat person attractive you really do not need to preface it with a "hear me out" or "this is so embarrassing, but" in fact. don't do that with anybody. please do not contribute to this weird attitude surrounding fatness and fat bodies

on the planet of the…

MEN MY FAVORITE TYPE OF LADY

SEX, I’VE HAD ENOUGH

TELL THE WORLD “BLOW YOURSELF UP!”

we had a whole pearl-clutching fest last month debating whether or not we should laugh at billionaires killing themselves in their own deathtraps meanwhile media executives feel comfortable saying shit like “we’re just waiting for the people we’re exploiting to go homeless” with zero personal consequences. we need to stuff more billionaires into shitty submarines and laugh harder

Oh.. well met, traveler. (You notice me skinning and field dressing a grinch carcass strung up by the rafters of the cabin) Oh this? Yeah bagged it just this morning. Male, not too old. Meat's gonna be good. (I stare, somewhat detached, at the grinch corpse hanging in front of me for a moment before plunging my knife through its heart) Fucking sickos. You know they hate Christmas? That time of the year where good kids get presents and, heh, well.. when adults get egg nog. (Quiet slicing and carving sounds, bloodlust professionally but barely contained) Wind's howling,

Is there any popular writing advice that you disagree with or just hasn't ever worked for you?

i've joked about this a little bit, but i am resistant to the "soft/hard magic" dichotomy popularized by a certain fantasy writer. whenever i see "how to write magic" guides that take this approach, it's literally always "hard magic is fma and soft magic is lotr," with the latter being the only successful example in fantasy literature to exist, because soft magic is unbalanced, and you don't want to write deus ex machina do you?? this comes down to personal taste, but i think over-explaining magic sucks the fun out of it. i don't care that it's "logical" if it's boring. but some fantasy novelists are just science perverts, and more power to them as long as they can tell an interesting story to go with it.

I shan't argue with people who simply did not understand barbie (2023). I am the knower, the understander, the prophet of pink.

Another thing the Barbie movie made me realize is how many movies "made for men" I've watched with some guys friends of mine (like Fast and Furious).

I go to the cinema, watch the movie, happily listen to their thoughts about it and say I enjoyed my time. I ignore how bad the story may have been and enjoy my time because he is enjoying his time.

But when it comes to a movie to which I emotionally connect so deeply as I did to Barbie, I don't see the same effort coming from them to understand why I or any of our girl friends enjoyed our time wearing pink and watching a movie about a doll.

Just a thought that occurred me

when barbie said it’s ok to be a mess sometimes and u can be successful in life or maybe u still don’t know what u want in life and that’s ok and when barbie said that part of growing up is feeling like all the things u liked before r silly or don’t make sense so ur taught to hate them and mock them yet ur still free to connect w ur girlhood, there is always a little girl inside of us wanting to be let out and u can still let urself dream and have fun but u have to take it easy on urself every once in a while and when barbie said to girls u can do anything and so girls took that as inspiration but the truth of the matter is that there r still too many obstacles for girls and womanhood teaches us to hate ourselves bc we can never be perfect or we can’t strive to be everything that we wanted but what do u want really and when barbie said that the only way to truly have peace w urself is if u know urself and for that u have to be patient and take it one step at a time and the only way to do that is to embrace change and all the dark and glittery things abt u and others but also connect w ur roots and what made u hope and dream in the first place….and when barbie said sometimes u have to go to the gynecologist. yeah.

it is honestly insane how half the criticisms about the Barbie movie are that it's too feminist, and the other half that it's not feminist enough. add to that the film having an entire monologue about women not being ever able to win, because the patriarchy is full of contradictions and I'm convinced we're living in a TV programme.

do you see these hot takes about marvel? the Lego movie? the batman films?

... yeah

wonder why

I think it's so fucking ridiculous that men have so, so many things catered towards them. Movies, shows, books, even sports. Things that were created and for a long ass time were only produced with men in mind. Things that women can enjoy too, absolutely, but to which they're not the target audience.

But the second a movie comes out that's not specifically targeted towards men, they start crying about inequality and "anti-men" and woke feminist agenda. The moment they see themselves represented in one (1) movie the way women have been represented since cinema exists, they scream about oppression and injustice.
