Wandering an Endless Road

And Gaston is NOT a woman-driven fantasy. Gaston is a male wish fulfillment fantasy. Gaston is not what women want, he is what men want to be. He is hyper-masculinity to an extreme degree, dripping with sexism and testosterone. The fact that men think that Gaston is what women want says an awful lot about those men. 

While I don’t want to generalize, female fans tend to prefer a very different kind of male hero. We like the Rogers, the Milos, the Hercules. Genuinely kind, often awkward men who are sometimes vulnerable and respectful to women. 

“The fact that men think that Gaston is what women want says an awful lot about those men.”

“Not only is Gaston not a woman’s fantasy, he’s literally a woman’s horror story.”

He’s fun. He’s considerate. He’s nice. He’s a bit silly, which shows that he’s not so stuck on his sense of self-importance that he can’t laugh at himself. As opposed to Gaston, who’s very full of himself, vain, and just generally a shitty person.

While filming, towards the end of the sequence, Rumi makes a really amateurish misstep, something someone of her talent and experience level doesn't normally do.

Bobby: Cut! Rumi, you ok?

Rumi: Yeah! Yeah, I'm good! Sorry!

Mira: *pats her shoulder* It's dine. Do you need a break?

Rumi: No, no, no, it's fine! Let's just reshoot!

They start the dance over and Rumi's dancing is flawless, until the very end when she trips over nothing. Bobby calls for another cut and demands someone get his girls water.

Mira: *concerned* Rumi, what's going on? Are you sure you're ok?

Rumi: I'm fine, I promise! Just give me a minute and we can start reshooting.

Bobby: Well, you were perfect up until that. I think if we use the right angles, we can just have you two go through the last bit so we don't have to reshoot everything-

Rumi: Nononononono! I don't- it's fine! I don't want it to look stilted, let's just reshoot it all!

Mira: Rumi, that's-

Then it dawns on her.

Mira: ...Rumi.

Rumi: Yeah?

Mira: Are you doing this on purpose?

Rumi: Wha-

Mira: Are you messing up on purpose cause you like me throwing you around like this?

Rumi: WHA- pfft! NO! Why would I- *sweating*

Zoey had moved in several months ago and the two of them had quickly become obsessed with her. An obsession that Rumi had been trying to break them out of, starting with no longer spying on her.

Except she was doing stretches on her porch wearing little more than a pair of green, sparkly short shorts and a tank top. She turned around, and Rumi could see ‘juicy’ emblazoned upon her ass.

She started to laugh and Mira’s voice was filled with wondrous glee, “Rumi, jagiya, we can’t not fuck her.”

“So I guess it’ll be ducks, pastries and not feeding the ducks those pastries because it’s bad for them.”

“I like you.” Zoey giggled and tugged her into the bakery.

“I have had stranger dates.”

“Oh so it’s a date now,” Zoey squeezed her hand. “I was wondering.”

“Only fair,” Mira shrugged, like it was no big deal.

“Why make moves on one girl when you can try for both?”

Mira smirked, “Something like that.”

Zoey laughed, “You know I’m going to ask you about your intentions with Rumi eventually right?

“What about my intentions with you?” Mira asked, looking down at her in a way that made Zoey’s heart speed up.
