Cinderella is (still) a heroine

Recently Keira Knightley mentioned that she doesn't allow her children to watch Cinderella, because "she did nothing and waited for a man to save her". Because she isn't "feminist" enough. Emma Watson too made about the same comments a few years back when she rejected the role of Cinderella. To be honest, I was extremely disappointed with both actresses's interpretation of the character, a bit more with Watson, because she is a UN ambassador for women. Cinderella is a domestic slave in a male dominated society. She's an orphan, her remaining(all female too! ) family appears to be financially unstable, and yes, she's a servant. Do you know how many women are actually in the same position today? MILLIONS. Moving on, with one of my favourite quotes about Cinderella: she didn't ask for a prince. She asked for a dress and a night off. She had every right to be at that ball, she even worked hard to be there, and yet her stepmother and sisters still found a way to sabotage her. Enter deus ex machina: the fairy godmother. Because social services didn't really exist at the time. She gets to the ball, she has fun, she even gets to meet the prince, and yet when her time is up, she just goes home. She doesn't beg anyone to take her in, she doesn't ask the prince to save her. Why? Maybe she's still too traumatised and scared to actually escape. Maybe she thinks she isn't worth that much anymore. So, home she goes, back to cleaning and cooking. This is where I'll stop narrating. This is enough. This is a story that has been true, is still true, and sadly will be true for countless young women. So, Keira and Emma, please tell me: what is a "strong woman" supposed to do when faced with poverty, abuse and has no access to education, welfare or even just a better job? Why does Cinderella have to be a role model, when she is in fact a victim? All these women in sweatshops, in the fields, in the kitchens of rich men's mansions, would really like to know: I'm I not "good enough" as a woman?

This is NOT a SessRin opening! Many people are saying that, in this new op, SessRin is compared to InuKag, but I don’t think so. If you see this succession of scenes carefully, you will realize that, while in Moroha’s scene, the background images are all of Inuyasha and Kagome, in the part where Towa and Setsuna appear, we see scenes that show Sesshoumaru’s development as a character and his growth as a person in relation to other characters like Kagura and Kohaku. They are not just images of Sesshoumaru and Rin:

In the first part, we see Sesshoumaru’s scene in which he remembers Kagura’s death and says that he will be the one to decide if she died for nothing. It is interesting that here we see the empty stairways; an empty place that a person should be occupying, but I don’t think it’s Rin because she’s already in the background. Giving us this scene of Sesshoumaru thinking about Kagura reminds us of how important she was to him and his development as a character.

Then we have two background images. The first is from Rin when she is a child. This makes sense since we all know that she was also very important to Sesshoumaru’s growth, but in the following image something caught my attention: Sesshoumaru is holding Tenseiga and the moon is behind him. This scene is from Chapter 20, when Inuyasha, Kagome and Sango are fighting against Naraku who wants to get the fragment that Kohaku has. At one point Kohaku is captured but the one who saves him is none other than Sesshoumaru. This scene in the opening is Sesshoumaru saving Kohaku. And I love that, because they are indicating how important their relationship is as well. I also find it interesting that just at the moment when Sesshoumaru’s biological daughters appear, Sunrise decides to show two images related to the two human children he cared for. Could that be indicating that they position Kohaku and Rin as his children as well?

Then we have an image that at first glance, seems to be only about Sesshoumaru and Rin, but specifically is when Sesshoumaru decides to save the souls that are in hell. That also shows the growth Sesshoumaru has experienced, deciding to save many human souls. Finally, the last scene here is from when Sesshoumaru obtains Bakusaiga, putting aside his grudge and pursuit of his father’s power and thus acquiring his own sword. In conclusion, I don’t think this opening is trying to validate SessRin, instead, I think it shows the growth process that Sesshoumaru has had.

I think Sabine was an imperial cadet and she got out with the help of that other girl, Ketsu. They were like, 14? I dunno, anyway something fell through and Sabine ended up with the Ghost crew.

10 hot takes about rebels

(in no particular order)

1) kalluzeb is like reylo if reylo was good

2) sabines hair got uglier and uglier as the seasons progressed. also, changing your hair is not sufficient for character development. also i dont understand how we meet her at 16 and shes already been with the ghost crew for a while and shes an ex bounty hunter AND and ex-empire-worker. like what??? was she a 12-year-old expert bounty hunter? do they address this???

3) ahsoka had to be put out of commission for 90% of the series bcuz her presence makes the other characters look bad. she just outshines them

4) speaking of, anakin/vader and ahsokas relationship was handled PERFECTLY and exceeded ALL expectations. literally justifies this entire shows existence

5) however, anakin and ahsoka being in this show represents my biggest problem with it: they cudnt decide who it was for. at . first, i thought, oh ok. this is for kids. which is fine, there are many shows that are not for teens or adults to enjoy. but then, by bringing in ahsoka, they invited people who had previously watched the clone wars (older fans) to watch the show. and those themes were much were complex, as they should be. however, it created an inconsistent tone that a lot of the series suffered from. like, i just wanna see ahsoka, but i gotta get through this inquisitors flying around with their ridiculous helicopter lightsabers bullshit first.

6)  THE TOOTHPICK LIGHTSABERS. LOOK FUCKING. TERRIBLE. AWFUL!

7) more compliments tho: kanera is like the healthiest and least problematic and most fun romantic relationship in star wars

8) i might just b sayin this bcuz im a prequel hoe but THIS SHOW NEEDED MORE POLITICS. i still have no idea what the political situation is in this whole era. and this show had 4 seasons!!! id like to mention that our main characters are LITERALLY TERRORISTS. like, in the very first episode of clone wars that they mentioned terrorists in, obi-wan immediately pointed out that they . could be terrorists and him and anakin actually discussed that for a bit

9) this show would be SO SO GOOD if it was just about kanan and hera 

10) ahsokas bird is adorable

Soul purpose sounds cooler

A creature whose soul purpose is to lick your pinky toe at the most inopportune times.

I could give you at least a hundred reasons to hate Holdo but her stylistic choices ain't one of them

So AWESOME

I am very saddened by this. I hope new leaders will emerge and continue his fight. 

Silverman was found hanging in the garage of his own home in northeast Calgary, where he had run the Men’s Alternative Safe House (MASH). He had just sold the property because he could no longer afford to operate the shelter . He had paid for the shelter out of his own pocket, but could not raise enough money from either government or private donations. The shelter accommodated about 20 men and some children while it was open. In a four-page suicide note, Silverman blamed the government for failing to recognize male victims of domestic abuse and for not providing enough services to help those in need of. MASH was not recognized by any government agency, . Silverman unsuccessfully lobbied both the provincial and federal governments to provide more funding for his various projects aimed at helping victims like himself. Silverman had fled an abusive relationship with his wife 20 years ago, an experience which led him to become involved in the men’s rights.“When I went into the community looking for some support services, I couldn’t find any. There were a lot for women, and the only programs for men were for anger management. EQUAL RESOURCES FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW.
