I think I’ve always been half out of my shell and half in. Sometimes I can be extremely wild and sometimes I can be extremely shy. It just depends on the day.
I love how with Disney villains their songs are usually either “glorified soliloquies about their plans” or “trying to make a deal with the protagonist” but Gaston’s song is literally the whole town trying to raise his shattered ego after he got rejected from a marriage proposal given to the one woman in town that would quite obviously turn him down.
No one brings townspeople together for astounding musical acts like Gaston
“I wish I could go back to the 80s and 90s so Disney movies would be released with the Sorcerer Mickey Walt Disney Home Video logo before the films… the song and the image is still magical and brings a lot of feelings.”
My dad just walked into my room to tell me to go to bed (But Leo not winning this oscar is keeping me up) Anyway he looked at my SAO poster and went “Holy shit. Is that a girl and a boy? It’s not gay this time?” Because my room has Sekaiichi and Junjou plastered in various places and he’s more…
We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him. The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.” The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked. “So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”
