I would have been curious to see your interpretations on disney’s take on platonic friendships between men and women, mainly in Moana and Hunchback of Notre Dame

The fact that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is almost 100 years old is kind of breaking my brain a little bit

I’ve been arguing against the idea that beauty and the beast is an example of Stockholm syndrome for a while now, I’m glad I was validated by these pros! Better examples for SS are Rapunzel and The Hunchback of Notre Dame since the victims are being gaslit by their captors and have been convinced that they are imprisoned for their own safety. The moment Belle chooses to bring the beast back to the castle, she is no longer a prisoner imo, since she returns of her own accord.

One plus side is that at least Belle had time to get to know the Beast over time

I just dissagree with the whole Ariel thing.

The disney version is all about how Ariel has been fasinated by the freedom of humans, and their world. And when she finally finds love and saves someone, she gets the motivation and takes the chance of true love. She doesn’t solely do it for Eric, Its just the push she needed!

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
