I want to [remembers that suicide jokes only further damage my mental health] fuck you like an animal

So I had to do some errands today and then stopped by Five Below and saw this cute guy:

Sadly, his husband seems to be missing. ;-;

everytime someone calls deadpool "spider-man" an angels wings are VIOLENTLY ripped off

nonbinary person here! i'm in the gay timon camp but bisexual timon is cool too! you know what i wish we saw more of, though? trans timon! 👏

NOW WE’RE TALKING. Are we saying trans man Timon, or later-in-life trans woman Timon? Or hell, why not play around with both headcanons?!

I like genderfluid Timon as well. 👀👀👀 That’s actually a little itty bitty headcanon of mine.

looked at some of my sketches and decided to finish up one from this post

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

BRO JUST WANTED TO GO TO DINOSAUR LAND WTF.

i love Clifford he's so me !!!!

anyways... ANOTHER rant but this time about Clifford XPP also probably spoilers

yeah this movie apparently didn't get the greatest reviews, from what i've seen, but some of the issues they point out make the movie great imo. I've seen one talk about the absurdity of the movie, which, again, makes the movie funny and appealing (at least to me!!). While at first I was like, "Wait, this is kind of just how ten-year-olds act - pretty chaotic/crazy - why is everyone PISSED at this guy.." I kinda realize that yeah I do feel like some kids might be treated like how Clifford was, unfortunately. Like, for example, a scene where Clifford was watching something inappropriate (n*dity [idk if I have to censor bc of Tumblr but i'll see?]), and Martin - his guardian at the time - didn't gaf. I feel like a lot of kids don't have parents/guardians that watch over what they do on the internet as much as they should. Martin didn't really care about him a lot of the movie/was mean to him (which did make a lot of scenes funny). In addition to all of that- Clifford has a crush on an adult, Martin's girlfriend, which again added another reason why Martin kinda hated him, I suppose (petty ahh Martin). In a deleted scene, Sarah (Martin's gf) reacts to Clifford admitting he likes her very well, and overall is just a good person to Clifford, which I love. She's also a daycare worker, which might be a good contributing factor to that. Clifford having a crush on an adult is also a good representation of real kids, since real kids do get crushes on adults, whether that be a celebrity or a teacher.

I like kind of the balance of underlying truth to this movie that might have not been intended (again imo), and just comedy.

okay SA mention here soo yeah warning!! but if you don't want to read that my conclusion is that this movie is awesome sauce, Clifford his me, AND I LOVE THIS MOVIE no matter if I'm overreacting or whatever. also note that Martin Short was bordering 40 while filming this (while Clifford was TEN.) might edit all of this a bit too

okay moving on a bit;

there's a scene kiiiiinnndaaa near the end where Clifford rants about a party that had taken place at Martin's house (which Clifford started. Silly little guy). He says that someone tried to touch him in his "special no-no place," as he described, and said he was also tied up by some bikers. Martin, in response to hearing this, barricades the door and Clifford has to call Sarah to come and get him. Before Clifford calls Sarah, and after Martin leaves,, Clifford is able to slip out from the ropes by himself and implies he was putting on an act (get this kid into acting). At least I'm pretty sure he implied it?? I really don't want to assume anything but I cant find ANYTHING about it online I have dug for ages. However, even if he was putting on an act, Martin still BARRICADED THE DOOR SO CLIFFORD WAS STUCK IN THE ROOM? crazy asf if you ask me, even if you are angry (at a TEN YEAR OLD like calm down buddy idgaf if he's trying to steal your gf GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF 💔💔)

Sarah also also went through something kiiiinda related? But it was with her boss. They were in a car, and he was just forcefully kissing her and stuff, but she managed to get him off of her and SNATCHED HIS WIG HELLO.. definitely my second favorite character in the movie!!!!!

also there was a joke I think about either some drag queens/trans women (from what I can tell) and Sarah didn't BAT AN EYE (in a good way since Martin stared) we stan an ally!!!!!!!!

but yeah could the directors not think of anything else to stuff this movie with... I'll have to do some more research if I can even find anything because again I couldnt even find ANYONE talking about Sarah and Clifford's experience.

do you think steve martin and martin short realize they have romantic chemistry in omitb or do they consider charles and oliver the epitome of best friends

My memory of The Birdcage (1996) is always that it's more dated and more difficult to watch than it actually is. You hear "drag-themed comedy from the 90s based on a musical from the 80s based on a play from the 70s" and you brace yourself just a little, right? But the film has a strong gay perspective, so the fruity fag jokes mostly come off as warmly affectionate. There is a surprising amount of poignancy in Robin Williams' portrayal of Armand, grudgingly agreeing to his beloved son's request that he go back into the closet for an evening ("do me a favor and don't talk to me for a while"). The drag club's staff attempting to redecorate the apartment with stuff straight people might like (a taxidermy moose head, an enormous crucifix, and Playboy magazine) is extremely funny. Albert's histrionics are a point of tension because he does often come off as a stereotypically pathetic/comic figure, but towards the end of the movie he makes it very clear that he's aware of how people see him, and asserts that trying to copy a stoic masculinity he doesn't possess for the sake of social approval would be more pathetic. In the 1983 musical adaptation, they give "Albert" (Albin) the only good song in the whole show, "I Am What I Am", which Gloria Gaynor covered to the delight of gays everywhere. Apparently Nathan Lane wasn't (publicly) out yet in 1996, which is amazing because it means that at one point in this movie you're watching a gay man playing a straight man playing a gay man playing a straight man, in a movie about how it's important to be yourself, an absurdity that does seem to encapsulate the state of gay America in the 90s.
