In my free time I like watching tv-shows and crying over how perfect my ships are.hence my url.
My favorite TV Shows include How I Met Your Mother, Community, Doctor Who, The Vampire Diaries.
I also enjoy everything korean
(k-pop/k-dramas), but you'll only see that on my other blog.
Thanks for visiting babes & make sure you enjoy your stay ^-^
So can we like…start normalizing the idea that not everyone dates or has their first boyfriend/girlfriend in junior high or high school?
There are plenty of people who go into college with little to no dating experience. There are tons of people who go into college having not had their first kiss yet. It’s not wrong; everyone experiences things at a different pace, and that’s okay. Don’t feel pressured into doing things you’re not comfortable with at the time just because you feel like you have to fill some sort of “quota.”
Friendly reminder that Robin chose Barney over Ted in the Final Page Part 2.
The main reason why Barney chose this exact date was to confront Robin and make her choose between Ted and him once and for all.
There have been two options for her:
Option 1: She chooses Ted, stays in the car and accompanies Ted to one of the biggest days of his career. That would have meant setting Barney free and allow him to move on without her.
Option 2: She chooses Barney, agrees to just be friends with Ted by getting out of the car and not being his plus one on the opening day of his first building. Her ending up on her favourite spot of New York City on top of the World Wide News Building.
It didn’t matter that she was mad at Barney, it didn’t matter that they tried and failed. All that mattered in that moment was that she still had feelings for Barney, enough feelings for her to “make an ass out of herself”.
If there weren’t any feelings involved from Robin’s side, she would have set Barney free, even if that would have meant Barney and Patrice being happy with each other. This wasn’t about her hatred towards Patrice, all of this was an act of jealousy proving she does have feelings for Barney and not for Ted.
Gaston really is the most terrifying Disney villain because he could be anyone in the world.
Later he convinces the whole town to set up his wedding with the knowledge that the would-be bride would be thrown into it. Everyone finds his creepy-ass tactics as cute and “boys will be boys” esque. So yeah, he is terrifying.
Yeah, the truly scary thing about Beauty and the Beast isn’t that Gaston exists, but that society fucking loves him. People who deride the movie by saying it’s about Stockholm Syndrome are ignoring that it’s actually about the various ways that truly decent people get othered by society. People don’t trust the Beast because of the way he looks, which only feeds his anger issues and pushes him further away. Gaston isn’t the only one who criticizes Belle for being bookish, either; the whole town says there must be something wrong with her. And her father gets carted off to a mental asylum for being just a little eccentric.
Howard Ashman, who collaborated on the film’s score and had a huge influence on the movie’s story and themes, was a gay man who died of AIDS shortly after work on the film was completed. If you watch the film with that in mind, the message of it becomes clear. Gaston demonstrates that bullies are rewarded and beloved by society as long as they possess a certain set of characteristics, while nice people who don’t are ostracized. The love story between Belle and the Beast is about them finding solace in each other after society rejects them both.
Notice how the Beast reacts when the whole town comes for him. He’s not angry, he’s sad. He’s tired. And he almost gives up because he has nothing to live for. But then he sees that Belle has come back for him, and suddenly he does. In the original fairy tale, the Beast asks Belle to marry him every night, and the spell is broken when she accepts. In the Disney movie, he waits for her to love him, because he cannot love himself. That’s how badly being ostracized from society and told that you’re a monster all your life can fuck with your head and make you stop seeing yourself as human.
Society rewards the bullies because we’ve been brought up to believe that their victims don’t belong. That if someone doesn’t fit in, then they have to be put in their place, or destroyed. And this movie demonstrates that this line of thinking is wrong. It’s so much deeper than a standard “be yourself” message, and that’s why it’s one of my favorite Disney movies.
you know when you know how to get over someone but you don’t employ the steps to get over someone because you don’t really want to get over someone????? same.
