Welcome back, you!! We've never met, but welcome back. That's adorable that you love this site; hope to see you around and have good, pony-centric conversations. And you say you love Disney World? Oh yeah? What's your favorite part? Your favorite princess? Your favorite background music while eating Mickey ice cream? These are all important questions...

bringing this back up because personally LOVE Disney's Pocahontas, with all the fury of a thousand blue mare moons (idk). First, all the basic but sincere and always-to-be-rightfully-appreciated compliments that apply to 90% of animated Disney movies, also apply to Pocahontas so there's them to rely on for a great time. That's the animation, the (always, with Disney in those days) unique art/designs, the and the music. As to people saying the characters are boring....... what... what. Agh, not since Aurora has a Disney princess(/Chieftain's daughter, whatever) had so much politely controlled attitude as this leading lady. And really, PROPS to Pocahontas for having her sh*t together. It seems every protagonist runs away from something, and while they make excellent points (of course), things can't be good if they can't be contrasted, so HELLO dutiful and well-respected Pocahontas with her three friends (One of whom is a human/the same species as the protagonist which is like, unheard of in Disney) and single song weighing life's choices logically, thoughtfully, rather than just running for the hills and damning duty (again, the disney characters that do this are justified, but it's nice to have a hero who already knows what's up). (And shameless shoutout to Nakoma in particular because hers and Pocahontas' friendship is adorable. And healthy, and real, and just great in every way.) The level to which Pocahontas is open-minded is all kinds of unrealistic but, as am trying to keep this light and fluffy, it's still beautiful and of course a positive example. And it's her once again having it together without needing half the movie to figure it out; Pocahontas is not only smart and well-adjusted on her own, but she teaches others, especially John Smith. You know, John Smith, the male protagonist and love interest. Looking for a good female role model? The conflict in the movie is not only so real, but so dire and serious and would affect so many, that the hero might rather need to be as on the ball as Pocahontas. This doesn't make her any less. And of course, she does have her uncertainties and flaws (Which she handles with grace, not whining/sass/or running away), and think the advice she's given "Listen to your heart." is.. nice, if not always very helpful to many people. Grandmother Willow is adorable anyway, especially hers and Smith's interactions (if am remembering that correctly). Any further paragraphs and this ceases to be light and fluffy (It would still be positive, though). Pocahontas, am sure, is one of the absolute best Disney princesses. tl;dr on our girl Unlike every other Disney hero, Pocahontas begins the film as a smart, well-adjusted person respected by her community and with actual friends (One of whom is the same species as her.), and slams some gender stereotypes. She can think for herself, weigh options, and consider the word of others, and is always polite even when disagreeing.. babe.

Disconnected from the rest of the gay/bi community. Again. Sadly.

picked some random, dramatic ones here.. "It's not a reason to be depressed. It's a reason to be better." -- Tabitha St. Germain “Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.” — David Mitchell ; Cloud Atlas “Walking down the street, you may bump into several women from all backgrounds who are abused and oppressed in their private life, and you wouldn't even know it. The solution is not to focus on Muslim women only, but to campaign for women's freedoms everywhere all the time in all countries no matter how they look or dress.” — AsAMuslim @ Imgur

Love being a girl. Love it. No desire to switch. Much desire when younger. It has passed.

Thought the (2015) was a good indicator that Carol is a movie, for some reason. Anyhoo, yes, here there be discussions/one-liner statements/questions about the movie, Carol! Starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. for me, am still working on opinions, so someone else start with whatever they please. *u* have some general prompts, even.. - What did you think of the acting? - Do you think Carol portrayed well romance between two people? What about love? Followup: What about/How does that relate to romance/love between two women, either in the 1950s and/or today? - How do you feel about the costumes/sets/cinematography/sound/score? How do you feel about the OP lumping all of those together? - For the 2016 Oscars, Carol did not receive a Best Picture nomination. Some find this particularly bemusing as ten films may be nominated, and only eight were (And Carol has gotten a very positive critical response and many other award nominations). Your take on this, if any? - Carol is based on Patricia Highsmith's The Price of Salt; have you read it? How do you think the two works compare? - Favorite/Least favorite scenes from the film? And please, of course, share your opinions on more specific aspects of the film, how you feel about the characters actions here and choices there.. you know how it goes. I don't want to give out those specific prompts for some reason.. feelin like letting you bring them up yourself, those which occur to you. the rationale for this is a mystery to me. and hopefully some people respond to this at all. if you've only a sentence to say, g'wan and share, it'll get your post count up anyway, you know
