enterrés vivants

Ratatouille is a good movie and all but can we stop ignoring the weird sub plot about how it’s wrong for rats to steal? Like. What are they supposed to do then? Buy food? From the grocery store? With WHAT MONEY ratatouille?

I have to admit. I am not living la vida loca

In France I got used to seeing men die. Never got used to seeing horses die.

They die badly.

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

La Tour Eiffel today.

this might be a dumb thing to get worked up over and this text post ended up being WAY to long for a topic this stupid, but americans deciding to make a movie about eurovision, having it be written and directed by americans, casting an american and a canadian actor to play the lead roles of two icelandic musicians and having a few british actors as “european representation” and having them play russian and icelandic people is… so symbolic for how americans see other cultures.

I’ve seen americans (tumblr bloggers and celebrities) be passive aggressive about america not being in eurovision and acting like its specifically excluding them… despite there being multiple other continents who dont participate in esc.

and so these people see this phenomenon that many europeans seem to be passionate about and they see that they are not a part of it and then they get the idea that hey! this could be a movie! and who better to produce this movie than us americans. because we’re just better at that.

NOBODY ASKED FOR A EUROVISION MOVIE. MUCH LESS A EUROVISION MOVIE PRODUCED BY AMERICANS STARRING WILL FERRELL AS AN ICELANDIC PERSON.

This isn’t cultural appropriation in the sense of taking an idea from a marginalised community and passing it off as your own (although europe is not entirely “white/privileged” and includes many marginalised, ignored and looked down upon nations and ethnicities), but its still (white) americans thinking they get to make money off of a thing that wasnt their idea and that doesnt include them.

Yes, this is not a grave transgression, but it once again shows that americans think theyre better at telling stories than the people in these stories.

You could have had this movie written by a european. you could have cast actual icelandic singers. you could have used this opportunity to put the spotlight on more marginalised groups in europe. but you chose to have it all be done by americans. because you’re just better at it right?

It seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.
