A Dreaming's Rainbow

The first lion is asking for comfort because she was given a big spook!!! and she needs mommy to tell her it’s safe and ok!!!! (What’s cuter is that mommy clearly reassures her, and goes on to take the parent role of ‘deal with the scream rat in order to protect my large and easily frightened daughter’)

Three apex predators

OR

Let me preface this review by saying that I’m a huge Harley Quinn fan, like every other ex-emo e-girl (I cringe at my past self on the daily). I’ve always liked her insanity and edgy outfits, although I like to think that now I appreciate her complexity. Well, and the outfits . The Joker I never really cared about  - save for Heath Ledger’s epic performance in the Dark Knight. When they announced Jared Leto as the Joker for Suicide Squad? Gag. And then when they released what he looked like? Double gag. To say that movie was a let down for me as a Harley fan would be the understatement of the fucking century. So when I heard that Margot Robbie was producing her own Harley movie, I was beyond excited. But also completely terrified. I was scared it was going to be another Suicide Squad but part of me really hoped Margot cared enough about the character to make her something great. I mean if there was one thing redeemable about Suicide Squad, it was Margot’s Harley. I knew that she really loved and understood what made Harley so great. 

And, I must say, I was not disappointed. Birds of Prey is a fucking blast. It’s high energy and colorful, but gory in all the right ways and shines some light on underappreciated DC characters. This movie deserves so much more love. So instead of wasting too much time on how it could’ve been better, let’s talk about some of my favorite things about it. Oh and caution, maybe slight spoilers ahead!

me, who spent the last 300+ chapters reading about Sasuke getting his ass beat concave:

That kid from the first arc with the mask

That dude from the first arc with the huge sword

His brother

Kakashi, I think

Orochimaru

I’m pretty sure Rock Lee beat his ass physically, emotionally, or spiritually at least three times

Naruto

That big tiddy lady from the chunin arc

A math problem

Killer Bee

His brother, again

Gaara

I don’t remember if Neji ever physically fought him but I’m pretty sure Neji used his petty gay shade powers to own Sasuke at least once

Jiraiya I think

Tsunade, definitely

Literally all of the Akatsuki
