Hey Princess

@para-mi-amor

I don't want you to ever doubt how much I love you baby

i am simply obsessed with the resolution of the dead fiancé plot in thobm like dani lived with ghost eddie for what like months if not over a year just covering up mirrors as needed but within like a week of meeting the hot gardener chick she’s like listen buddy we have to go ahead and hash this thing out bc i want to get fucking RAILED alskdklaldkjsdj

I can’t stand for it anymore.

I see a decent amount of criticism of Giselle’s dress at the ball in ENCHANTED. How, viewers say, could Giselle go from this:

To this:

and think it an improvement?

This is not the ideal choice for a gown for Amy Adams, but I also think that’s the point.

The point is that Giselle spends the first part of the movie singlemindedly trying to leave the city and get back home to her fairy tale. Her growth is when she realized that’s not enough for her any more, and she wants to commit. To put down roots. To date, to adopt the customs of this new world.

This gown isn’t intended to be a “glow up” or a “rags to riches” or “she was beautiful all along”.

Similarly, Robert is introduced to us as a sterile lawyer:

Who ALSO has a dramatic costume change at the ball:

They are DOING THE SAME THING.

Robert is trying to show Giselle he understands that her needs and dreams are not only valid but correct - here he is dancing! In a period suit!

Giselle is trying to show Robert that she can adjust and compromise without losing herself! His world matters too! Here she is in a modern gown!

And neither of them are supposed to stay in those costumes - they’re both costumes. How does the movie end?

In outfits that are casual, maybe, but colorful and indicative of themselves. They’ve met in the middle, but become more themselves. She’s more dignified and he’s more lively.

To whine about Giselle’s ball gown is to miss that that is the critical moment, almost an O. Henry situation, where the two lovers reach so far to each other that they end up changing places.

not to be a wet blanket or anything but like. when your ironic humor gets to the point where its indistinguishable from the real views of actual shitty people and you accidentally platform those actual shitty people bc you think theyre being ironic.. maybe its not good humor! maybe its time to dial it back a little bit!

IF YOU ARE UNMARRIED, DON’T HAVE KIDS, AND HATE YOUR PARENTS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HAVE A FUCKING WILL

this has been a public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood probate lawyer

Again:

1. The law doesn’t care how long your parents and family have been out of your life

2. The law doesn’t care about your long term friends or “found family”

If you don’t have legal documents that say otherwise, your biological family calls all the shots.

This goes especially for LGBTQ+. Please do not get deadnamed in your obituary.

How to make a living will (Advance Healthcare Directive) so you don’t get fucked over by biological family if you end up in a situation where you cannot make your own healthcare choices.

If youre trans, this video is a good ref to start with and she provides links and organizations that can help

^I’ve been loving this channel lately, and this is a particularly good video about how to have your wishes respected after you die if you have family who may NOT respect you/your identity.

modern-day Abraham making deals with God like: Okay but will you agree to not destroy America if there are twenty honest Republicans? God: yes Abraham: mmm okay, okay… what about ten? Will you spare us if there are just ten honest republicans? God: yeah, okay Abraham: *sweating* WAIT WHAT ABOUT FIVE. WHAT IF THERE’S FIVE??

They managed to find 10 out of nearly 200 in the House.

Finding 17 out of 50 will be more of a challenge, unfortunately, even Sodom and Gemorrah had cities to work with.

One: the cow as white as milk,

Two: the cape as red as blood,

Three: 17 Republicans not yellow as corn

Four: The slipper as pure as gold🎵
