Rule 1: always post the rules

Rule 2: Answer the question the person who has tagged you has written and write 11 new ones

Rule 3: Tag 11 new people and link them to your post

Rule 4: Let them know you've tagged them

1)In the middle of the room you are in right now, spin around and point to something.  If it fell on you, how screwed would you be?

     It's a little picture frame that says "keep calm and..." with a picture of benedict cumberbatch, so not very.

2)Rate how stressed exams make you.

      Like a 1 out of 10.  I don't get very stressed.  I'm one of those people who can take a test without studying at all and get an A.

3)What should you be doing right now instead of being on tumblr?

      Making dinner or watching Supernatural

4)Is there a certain food you used to love but can't stand to eat anymore?  What is it and (maybe) why?

      Not really, I mean, once my grandma bought an enormous jar of pickles (which I am not fond of) and told me I loved them as I kid...so I guess pickles?

5)Name some habits you had as a little kid that you haven't grown out of?

      Uhmm...I still kick off the covers when I sleep I guess.  And I'm awful at tying my shoes.

6)What is the capital of Mongolia?

      I suck at geography, like you have no idea (I thought south dakota and nebraska bordered canada), so I'm going to have to look this up...Ulaanbaatar apparently.

7)Shuffle your iTunes playlist.  List the first 5 songs and your favorite lines from them.

      I don't have iTunes on this computer, so I'll just go with my spotify.

      Some Nights by FUN : "Sorry to leave but I had to go, 'cause who the FUCK wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun."

      Easy by Rascal Flatts: "But what he/she don't know is how hard it is to make it look so easy."

      Drive By by Train: "Oh but I was overwhelmed, and frankly scared as hell, because I really fell for you."

      Payphoneby Maroon 5: "Where have the times gone. Baby it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?" and also "All those fairytales are full of shit, one more fucking love song and I'll be sick."

      Forever Yours by Alex Day: "Remember the time when we stole the whole day.  And nobody knows it we took it away."

8)If you were a superhero/villian, what would your name be and what power(s) would you have?

      Idk what my named would be, something cool like Black Raven.  I'm not good with super hero names....as for powers I would like to fly and be able to shapeshift.

9)Describe your backpack/purse.

      My purse is a lime green satchel with a gold plate thingy on the front with a bajillion pockets.  It has a calculator, candy, rubber bands, tissues, scissors, various receipts, change, my wallet, ibuprofen, asprin, Midol, tampons and pads, band-aids, five different kinds of chapstick (eos, various babylips, victoria's secret lipglosses), eyeshadow, eye-liner, mascara, a compact, and Love Spell by Victoria's Secret spray and lotion.

10)Do you often remember your dreams?

     Not really, but I have really weird ones, like once my best friend was a mermaid, or I went on a cruise and got put in the wrong room and ended up sharing it with the eleventh doctor and we became best friends, or my parents marry me off to this random superhot, supertall ginger whom I had never met so we call off the marriage and later end up dating.  These are only the recent ones.

11)You have been granted instant fluency in three languages.  Which do you choose?

      Japanese (so I could play Heart no Kuni no Alice and not have to worry about anime dubs), French (cuz it's french), and Spanish

Thank you for being polite about it, but despite many people having pointed it out, I don't see how this is simply hate or me trying to tell people what they should ship. I don't scream about how much better Science Boyfriends is, and I don't make disgusted rant posts when I see Stony on my dash.

Okay.

So.

Wow.

I don't think anyone who thinks Merida is gay is an idiot, I see no reason to need to put a label on her sexuality, especially because it is not the focus of the film and she is A CHILD. What seems silly to me is that there is no real basis for the belief that she's gay (which, for the record, I would have NO PROBLEM WITH). It's both offensive and shocking to me that simply by being a tomboy and wanting to avoid marriage she must be labeled a lesbian. I see no basis or need for such a label, although you are free to think as you like. There is no need to be upset. I think if she were openly a lesbian character, that would be fantastic! A great role model and figure in the LBGTQ community, but the fact is-- she's not. And while it's great that you think she could be, the fact is that using the "evidence" the media has been using to explain her homosexuality, quite a few film and television characters could be gay. When it comes down to it, it's a kid's movie, and it just doesn't matter whether or not she's gay. Just because she's a strong female character does not mean she's gay.

The stupidity is not in the comment "lol, she's totes gay", but in the need to label a 15 year old animated character as homosexual.
