Don't waste your time or mine

Zucest Week, Day 3 - First Baby

"Come on, Azula, you can't be that naive. He's just being nice because he thinks you'll let him fuck you"

"Not all guys are like that, Zuzu"

"Yes, they are"

This person is, paradoxically, taking Hannah Montana too seriously AND not giving the writers/Disney enough credit on just how fucking EVIL they were.

Right off the bat, they misunderstood the REAL point of Hannah Montana. That alterego was never about the show's true, genuine message being "children should not be famous", that was just their excuse to do Disney's favorite marketing tool: YOU, dear 6-year-old, can be just like Hannah Montana if you buy our shit.

It was the gimmick of literally every Disney Channel show at the time. Wild fantasy life meets "relatable." Zack and Cody lived in a luxury hotel, but they were not rich, their mom just worked there and slept on the damn couch while the twins shared a bedroom, went to a regular school and often need to scheme to have access to the true perks of the hotel. Alex Russo had literal magical powers, but she worked at her family's shitty sandwich shop and was a disaster in school. Sonny With A Chance is literally "Girl gets to join her favorite TV show" aka what every Disney Channel fan wanted to happen to them.

Miley Stewart was a loser who got bullied in school - but was secretly a super talent, rich, world famous singer that would go on stage every night and sing "UNDERNEATH IT ALL I'M JUST LIKE YOU!"

Most importantly: a recurring theme in the show was "Miley can't keep up the LIE forever." Because Hannah was not just some stage name tat everyone knew was meant to protect the real identity of whoever was behind the persona.

"Hannah" has friends and even boyfriends that can't know about her life as Miley, and vice-versa, and that conflict has repeatedly either ruined relationships or forced her to come clean to them - meaning they now have to lie to the other people in their lives because of her secret. One of the main reasons she tells the truth to the whole world in the final season was because her boyfriend was being treated like shit for "cheating on Hannah" with MILEY.

Robby Ray Stewart might have meant to protect his daughter, but his plan caused A LOT of problems too, and that was a deliberate writing choice. Because we were meant to WANT to see what would happen once the cat was out of the bag, we were meant to WANT Miley to leave behind her "normal" life, because it was pure wish fullfilment to us, the viewers. It was never about her and THAT is the fucked up part.

And I HATE having to defend Billy Ray Cyrus, but the "he tried to create a separation between himself and the character, but not between his daughter and her character by using a different name while she used her real name" is a flat out lie.

Let's not act like it takes a genius to connect that "Robby Ray Stewart, the failed country singer that sings Billy Ray Cyrus's songs and even claims to be the guy, by name, in one episode, is indeed Billy Ray Cyrus" is too difficult of a concept for kids to wrap their heads around. I am not even american and knew nothing about this man's career and could still connect the dots when I was little.

Most importantly: Miley was not yet legally called "Miley Cyrus", her actual name back when the show was first filming was "Destiny Hope Cyrus", with "Smiley Miley" being a cute family nickname. She changed it officially because of legal advice giving to her family protect herself from DISNEY potentially suing her if she were to use the name in future, non-Disney projects.

Yes, they needed legal advice to protect Disney from copyrighting a family nickname this girl had been called her whole life and potentially banning them from using.

Oh boy, here we go again.

I heard about 6 songs from her, liked half of them, don't even know enough about her work to be sure if it is or isn't my cup of tea. Don't know shit about her as a person and thus have no opinion on THAT.

What I DO know and DO have a strong opinion on is: she's yet another singer that DESPERATELY needs a new PR team because they're either screwing her over either trying to push the "rebel" role too hard or letting her ruin her own career by genuinely not knowing the difference between "public figures still have a right to basic respect" and "you're just flat out unsuited for the job no one is forcing you to have."

Calling out paparazzi for randomly chasing her car down the street, shoving cameras in her face when she's trying to eat, yelling obscene/rude shit when they see her, or camping outside her house? 1000% justified, that is stalker behavior, might as well pull a Bjork and punch one of them.

But getting pissed that professional photographers that were hired to take pictures at the red carpet, that SHE HAS THE OPTION TO SKIP IF SHE DOESN'T WANNA BOTHER, are yelling "Chappell, look over here! Chappell, pose like this!" because that is literally what they were hired to do and then they just fuck off? Give me a fucking break, next she'll go "Don't yell at me!" because fans are scream-singing lyrics from the top of their lungs at concerts - what did you expect, girl?

Yeah but in like 2019-2020 people on Tumblr refused to believe anybody shipped those two

Again, that's what tumblr is like for me RIGHT NOW. People have always openly liked freaky shit and pearl clutchers have always had two MOs - nonstop shaming and non-stop denial.
