the thing about Tangled is that this is a story geared towards little girls (even if it's "fun for the whole family," it's a disney princess movie, it's geared towards little girls), and it says, "here is a girl who is naive and doesn't know anything about the 'Real World' or how to navigate it safely and correctly. now pay close attention: the good guys are the ones who help her grow and explore new things while still respecting her own perspective and feelings, not making her feel stupid. the bad guys are the ones who tell her that she is too weak/immature/naive to do the things she wants to do, because she is fragile and needs protecting." and I watched this when I was nine years old and it resonated deep in a part of me that I couldn't articulate with words yet.

like, I was nine years old. other notable memories from being nine years old include adults making jokes about how easily squished fairies could be when I tried to explain my love of tiny fairies living tiny lives, and adults talking over my head about how I was "still so innocent" when I asked a question about what something was. a movie saying "hey even if you're naive and innocent you're still important and you have ideas that are worth something and people who treat you otherwise are holding you back" was such an important thing. idk

that's goddess pose

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

Sometimes you'll see a character that's not canonically aromantic but when you see them shipped with another character you think "ok this feels like aro erasure"

let’s be real the pressure to use AI as an adult is exactly what they said the pressure the do drugs as a teenager would be like but the people that told us that caved immediately for the AI and definitely did not just say no
