Sticky hand wall update
While the plot of Barbie Princess Charm School (2011) is often criticized on the seemingly ridiculous method of assigning the scholarship via lottery, this in actuality works as a larger allegory for the world of higher academia: Madame Privet states that only 27% of the “lottery girls” graduate, and Blair, who comes from a lower class background, suffers, in addition to social ostracization on account of her socio-economic background, a learning curve, as she struggles with concepts that the other girls, who were all raised to be princesses, take for granted. We can presume, then, that the other girls who graduated were very likely from socio-economic backgrounds that encouraged them to receive training ahead of time in, for example, etiquette, history, geography, etc., giving them a distinct advantage in the system while disadvantaging girls from lower class backgrounds. The only means for students such as Blair to gain social mobility is via a mentor based system, in which a teacher, such as Madame Privet, personally oversees their education. While the scholarship maintains the illusion of equality, therefore, there is no equity in the system. We might compare this to the modern American academic system, which overwhelmingly claims to be merit-based while also overwhelmingly privileging students who can, for example, pay for extensive testing or an expensive undergraduate or MA degree. Furthermore, the emphasis on letters of recommendation puts an overwhelming pressure on students to maintain a good relationship with their supervisors which can in fact hide abusive power dynamics. In this essay I will….

I didn't have the chance to write proper headcanons for them atm, but, eventually, i'm going to edit this post and write them in this section just as i did with the previous redesigns (from Abigail, Sebastian and Sam)

Outsmarted my inner demons🚬 They both just silly

I gotta say I love the regular cutaways in each chapter to Kirie's "is this shit for real" expression, which continues to see use the whole way through. It's often a hilariously calm response to whatever new fuckery is happening now but also often kind of a mood? I'm seeing this shit too, girl, what the fuck right?
all the fake tomie fans have that one same exact icon of her, but what about burrito tomie? where is the love for the true cozy queen??
Spiritual sequel to that one Tomie post of mine because Shuichi is an angel and deserves his own post

The pure chaos and Bridgerton dumbassery of Anthony walking in on Eloise making out with Cressida is just comedic gold waiting to happen like,
Anthony: You will marry her!
Cressida: Yes, well unfortunately I cannot do so.
Anthony: Have you no shame, Miss Cowper? You have defiled my sister! She is ruined!
Cressida: And I would be happy to make right by her. However—
Anthony: No excuses! You will marry her or we will deul at dawn!
Benedict: Is it not ungentlemanly to deul a young lady?
Anthony: …yes well… you will marry her or… or Kate will deul you at dawn!
Kate: I’m not doing that.
Anthony: Babe, please.
Kate: You’re an imbecile.
Anthony: Fine. Colin will duel Miss Cowper.
Colin: Why must I be the ungentlemanly one?
Anthony: Because someone must!
Daphne: Someone must what?
Benedict: Deul Miss Cowper.
Daphne: Whyever would one of you need to deul Miss Cowper?
Anthony: Because I caught her in the act of defiling our sister!
Daphne: Right… well passion can sometimes get the best of us when we are in love. As long as Miss Cowper does the honourable thing and marries Eloise—
Anthony: She is refusing!
Francesca: Why would you refuse? You both seem so in love.
Cressida: I am not refusing! I am merely confused regarding how exactly I am supposed to—
Daphne: Worry not, brother. I will handle this. *cracking her knuckles* You will marry her or come the dawn our pistols meet and you will take your final breath in the presence of my gleeful victory.
Everyone: …
Benedict: Is anyone else suddenly very afraid of Daphne?
Hyacinth: Cressida and Eloise will make the most beautiful children.
Gregory: Do you think if I ask they’ll name one after me?
Meanwhile
John: Should we maybe… intervene?
Simon: Of course not. When it comes to the Bridgertons it is every man or woman for themselves.
Kate: She must learn to stand on her own. She’ll never survive this family otherwise.
Penelope: Survive this family? Do you actually believe they’ll make it to the wedding before realising two women are unable to wed?
Kate: No. But when love is involved the Bridgertons will find a way and love most certainly is. I called this six months ago.
Simon: Agreed. Though if they are to marry someone must first hunt down Eloise.
John: What are you talking about she's right… where the hell did she go?
Penelope: Oh she’s long gone. She snuck out as soon as Anthony brought up marriage.

Happy belated Father’s Day to the Swordfather who stepped up!
Gonna get personal for a second: Blue Eye Samurai has a special place in my heart for a lot of reasons, but a big one is that Mizu’s and Master Eiji’s relationship reminds me a lot of the one I had with my grandpa. He became the father figure in my life after my dad left when I was two. He helped raise me, taught me how to do all kinds of things and would let me help with projects, from putting up a new mailbox to helping fix things at the car wash he owned. He was a role model, a best friend and made sure to always be there for me and guide me when I needed it. He passed away a couple years ago and it’s still hard to deal with that. But this show inspired me to get back into my art, which my grandpa always loved and encouraged me to pursue. So drawing for myself again has been a huge comfort and has helped tremendously. Especially all the BES fanart.
Anyway, lots of emotions went into these. This show, Mizu, Swordfather and their bond could not be more special to me.
why is the metal community so pressed abt this it’s literally hilarious. 10/10. love it. i want it.
hes on my mind…

another funny moment ft. william van dort, who actually seems like the best parent out of four of them:
in the movie the reason behind emily’s and victor’s marriage being invalid is that death has already parted them apart. however, in the script the reason is different:
also, in the script, following mayhew’s death, victor’s parents have an accident:
AND WE’VE HAD EMILY MEETING VICTOR’S PARENTS:
i love how william is just going with it without a second thought. AND here we are finally getting to know emily’s last name:
as the final scene approaches, we have another plot twist coming:
here we also have a different version of how emily found out that barkis killed her, they weren’t lovers, she didn’t randomly remember him.
victoria is such a girlboss.
in this version barkis doesn’t die, instead he’s taken by the police. i actually like the movie version, where he gets a taste of his own actions and drinks the poison.
the ending is also a lot more different than it is in the movie, emily is more quiet, she goes alone, finally at peace.
my reaction to that:
