WALLPAPERS
Bob and Eliza Pancakes have a very… interesting daughter
this is about the puppet from victorious
Now that Victorious is on Netflix are we gonna acknowledge the fact that Trina really is that bitch??? No one hustled like her, no one hit the grind like her, no one else chased a music producer for 7 blocks ON FOOT after he tried to run her over, no one else had the confidence (she calls herself hot/pretty in like every episode and she's fucking right), the panache, the theatricality, the energy, also she fucking invented self care like we all laughed at her smearing mayo and avocado on her face and acquiring illegal fish for exfoliation but now thats half of instagram....she did everything from singing to karate to flocking the damn christmas tree.....she wrote, produced, and starred in a one woman show about a woman learning to survive on her own while disabled and impoverished and A WOMAN in twentieth century Chicago. Also she wears like 7 inch heeled ankle boots in every fucking episode and never sprayed hot cheese on her friends like some people ☕☕☕ u can have all the talent u want but without the attitude? Useless. Attitude with no talent? Well that's half the entertainment industry
Everything I think and everything I do is wrong.
CLUELESS (1995) dir. Amy Heckerling
look i fucking hate disney and i don't fucking BELIVE im going to make a post about a live action movie and defending it at that but... have y'all actually watched it???? Cause the ammount of people who seemed to not have gone past the summary or just the first 5 minutes of the movie is... wow
SPOILERS
Yes they went with a lowkey maleficent route, Cruella doesn't hate dogs, she owns 5 by the end of the movie which include 3 dalmatians (two are Pongo and Perdita's parents which are siblings in this universe so no 101 dalmantians is happening :)) she names AND gives pongo and perdita to roger and anita, yes she's still a bitch but no she has no intention AT ALL to skin puppies and doesn't show even a ounce of hate towards the dalmatians
IT'S A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE, same thing that happened with maleficent, can you guys just, you know, move along now? thank you
BY THE WAY i hope this is the only time i have to ever adress a live action disney movie in my life, thanks.
And yes it's a genuinely fun movie and i recommend watching it, yes the script is cheesy at times and the movie is a bit too long but eveything else is SO FUCKING GOOD it makes up for it and honestly i usualy don't give a fuck about the live actions but i actually really enjoyed this. Just remember that no matter how many references you may see, it's a standalone project, AGAIN, just like maleficent.
Listen, my main problem with Cruella despite never watching the film is that they shouldve advertised it as a reimagining/reboot rather than advertising it as a prequel/origin story given that Cruella's plot is so far removed from either the animated or live action 101 Dalmatians, there's no way for it to be connected.
See the whole point of a prequel is that connects to the original story and gives depth to events that happened prior to that story's plot. Whereas a reimagining takes a plot and its characters and twists it to be something else, ultimately making it a completely different story entirely. Like Treasure Planet is to Treasure Island.
It's incredibly misleading to call Cruella is a prequel/origin story of Cruella De Vil because it is clearly a reimagining/reboot yet because prequel sounds better and would generate the most bank, they went with that and I think people have a right to be upset at Disney's misleadingly advertising it like that, because prequel has certain expectations that Cruella fails to meet.
Does a film need logic and plot? Isn't it enough that Cruella has an aesthetic and a dry sense of humour with absurdist events and cgi evil dogs that become part of your found family? That cruella causing chaos is blamed on her genetics? Her henchmen being her found family? To drive a garbage truck as an aesthetic choice? To use a public fountain as a dead person story device to speak with? To have 40,000 moths explode from a single room?
So apparently Cruella came out today and instead of paying $30 on top of the Disney+ subscription to watch it why not try 123series.net which has it in HD for free with subtitles in more than 10 languages.
why are they trying to make cruella sympathetic I'd watch a film that unashamedly went "yep she's an evil bitch and the story of how she gets there is super fascinating and involves a lot of hot women in sexy goth outfits" like. I'd watch the shit out of that
au where jet doesn’t find out that zuko and iroh are fire nation and when he runs into the gaang he goes ‘oh by the way this is my new friend lee. we met on the ferry ride over here!’ and the gaang and zuko just like awkwardly stare at each other for a really long time
I love it
*in everyone’s minds*
Zuko: Maybe if I just keep up my persona, they’ll believe I’m someone else… Okay, that’s stupid, but what choice do I have?
Aang: …Maybe if we just pretend we’ve never met before he’ll stay nice and we can all keep the peace.
Katara: If he lifts one hand against us, I will freeze them both.
Sokka: Please be a coincidence. Please be a coincidence. Please be a coincidence. Please be a coinci-
Toph: Why is he so scared? Is he shy? Why is Katara so upset? Why is Aang freaking out? Why is Sokka so irritated? And now Jet’s freaking out.
Jet: Do- do they not like him? Do they not like him because he’s my friend? Do they still hate me? Do they hate him because of me? Lee looks like he’s about to pass out? Is he okay?
This needs to be a fic
ACTUALLY SCREAMING
Toph to Iroh: oh hey, you’re that really old guy who gave me tea once
Everyone else: ????

jimmy, sheen, and carl were all nerds but in different ways.... so enlightening. jimmy being obsessed with science, sheen being obsessed with his little superhero fandom, and carl being obsessed with jimmy's mom. science, media, and milfs, the holy trinity. cartoons were never the same again
Details You Miss If You’ve Only Watched The Princess Diaries Movies and Haven’t Read The Books
DISCLAIMER: THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE PRINCESS DIARIES BOOKS
1. Mia is so well known for wearing platform doc martins that Lilly can recognize by her shoes
2. Mia is Tall. By the end she’s 5′10, but because of her shoes she easily stands at 6 feet
3. Everything about the Russian exchange student Boris Pelkowski, who is replaced by Jeremiah in the first movie
4. Mia wants to be a write, a journalist or a novelist, because she considers it her only skill
5. Mia writes a 400 pages smutty romance novel for her senior project
6. So much of the books are about sex, so much, more specifically the fact that Mia isn’t having it
7. Mia dates a boy named Kenny who is notable at first because he’s obsessed with ‘Japanese anime’ and has a figurine collection
8. She also dates a boy called JP, who is in all the books before she dates him as a background character that hates it when they put corn in the chili. Really that’s all he’s known for. To the point that Mia writes a short story about him where he commits not alive at the end over corn
9. Mia takes her diary everywhere, and writes in it AS conversations are happening, so much so that other characters comment on it quite a lot
10. Mia finds a law from the the black plague stating that Genovia is supposed to be a constitutional monarchy, like England, and accidentally kicks her dad out of a job
11. Mia is princess, not because her dad dies, but because he gets testicular cancer and can’t have any more kids
12. Mia can never become queen, because Genovia is a principality, meaning it’s ruled by a Prince or Princess
13. Genovia is smack dab in between the french and Italian border.
14. Lana Weinberger not only becomes Mia’s friend, but understands Mia better than Lilly does
15. Mia hangs out with a diverse group of friends, Tina Hakim Baba, Ling Su, and Shameeka, that are stolen from us in the movie. Plus Perin who is lesbian coded
16. Mia and Michael end up together
17. Michael is rich and famous for making a robotic arm that revolutionized the medical field, but to make it he had to move to Japan for over a year. Despite the fact that Michael does this to prove to the world that he’s good enough for Mia, it breaks them up for a couple years
18. The books pretend that whatever year the current one your reading was released in is always the year it was set in, which creates some funny references in retrospect
19. Mia is obsessed with Star Wars, she has special Padme underwear that she wears on her first day of high school because she considers them lucky. Though after revenge of the sith came out the references greatly slow
20. Mia also loves Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In general Mia is a huge nerd
21. Mia has a little brother names Rocky
22. At one point Mia lets Rocky cut her hair and ends up with a buzzcut for the entire book, and even though she’s upset she liked the buzzcut
23. It takes place in New York, not San Francisco
24. Books 2 and 3 came out after the first movie, and they DRAG it, talking about how inaccurate it is why can’t they even get Mia’s life right?
25. Grandmere. Clarisse, Julie Andrews character, is a manipulative bitch and does everything she can to get her way. She’s strict, though her love for Mia peaks through once in a blue moon
26. Mia speaks only french with Grandmere
27. I’m not trying to diagnose, but Mia probably has an anxiety disorder because she’s so well known for being anxious that Lilly her knowledge of what to do in a natural disaster (which comes from always be scared it might happen) to try and win her second student council election
28. Mia is a ditz and really unobservant. She fails math every year, the girl is just straight up bad with school stuff
29. Mia is a vegetarian, but briefly gives it up when she and Michael break up to drown her sorrows in beef
30. You know the writer neighbor in the movie? Well between a couple book she transitions! A transwoman that is an acknowledged and respected transwoman in a book published in the early 2000s, we love to see it
There’s so much more but I need to stop infodumping. I highly recommend the audiobooks, the first three are even read by Anne Hathway! It’s not the highest of literature but the books are so much fun and really different from the movies. If you need something to do during quarantine I highly recommend trying a scribd trial (its a audiobook rental service) and listening to them. They aren’t very long either, and I personally listen at 2x speed (I know, crazy) so most of the books only take around 3 hours to listen to.
