My favorite dynamic in both platonic and romantic ships are “we share the braincell” or “they are both very smart until you put them together and then they’re dumbasses.”

"My braincell is allergic to yours" is peak dynamic.

i looked at my calendar turns out it is both saturday and june

I checked again and apparently we’re halfway through 2021

what i like about this is the implication that if jack had taken the time to understand christmas town, bringing christmas to halloween town would not have been harmful. that’s how it works, folks. cultural sharing is GOOD, it’s only misappropriation when it’s done in ignorance and disrespect.

This is the best way to conceptualize the wrong way to share culture I have ever seen and I think I finally get where people are coming from when they talk about “cultural appropriation.”

This is an EXCELLENT explanation through example!

This is PERFECT. I’m using this in my classroom.

I think another good aspect of using this movie to explain cultural appropriation is that you can also show what cultural appreciation is. After the people of Halloween town realized the did the wrong thing, freed Santa and apologized, Santa brought Christmas to them, too. So they could understand what it actually is and experience it, although as an outsider. They are not the people of Christmas town, and they never will, but they still can appreciate some parts of Christmas.

listen. i don’t “talk to people first” i simply sit around forgetting that i’m a person until someone texts me and i’m reminded that people know me
