life is good, things are good, family is good, boys are dumb, school is almost over but good, I’m almost halfway done, I know what I want to do, my hair is short, I have an internship, I did well on my first try for the ACT, I’m taking three AP classes next year, I’m feeling good about this summer, I’m pushing my hardest til the end, I love you all, things are good
Ooooh my god, when this roundtable was posted I PHYSICALLY CRINGED at the image because it was a bunch of white dudes and Leslie talking about ~*~diversity~*~ and oh my god. HOW UN-SELF-AWARE CAN YOU BE? But Leslie really just wiped the floor with the whole concept in the most chill, polite, classy way. Bless :’)
I was thrilled to pieces when I saw this scene. Disney could have written Gideon off like some bully character who never really amounted to anything, or got what was coming to him like a lot of those characters do in their movies.
Gideon made something of himself. He’s a pastry chef, something that’s not traditionally a job for men in media. And as soon as Judy speaks to him, he immediately apologizes to her. He doesn’t try to shrug it off as no big deal, or say that it was just boys being boys or whatever; he knows he hurt her, and he owns up to it. And Judy immediately forgives him.
Well done, Disney.
Also the language that he used is not something that he would have most likely grown up hearing/using. Describing his failings as self-doubt that manifested into “unchecked rage and aggression” sounds SO MUCH like therapy speak. So he’s either gotten counseling to help him with some of his problems, or sought out literature to help himself. A++ disney :)
I was reading about Thomas Jefferson’s medical history and
Violent headache for two days after behaving awkwardly in front of a girl he fancied (March 1764, age 20)
-dYNAMICS
-the way Phillipa says cathedrals
-the fact that Eliza doesn’t insult Mariah even though she could’ve justified it - she’s still respecting her and idk just cinnamon roll
-the “you have married an Icarus” gets me ok
-the “you, you, you”
-Eliza telling Alex to sleep in his office like yes you tell him his place
-the chord on the word “mine” is just so nice
-Eliza putting herself first and being strong even though the song is so emotional idK IM JUST HAVING SO MANY EMOTIONS
also the fact that there is a real fire onstage
I sit here in my room, listening to my parents laugh uncontrollably at the Shaun the Sheep movie they rented from Amazon tonight
