HERES ALL THE 4-TOWN MEMBERS DESCRIPTIONS
JESSE IS A DAD???!!!
Turning Red has surprised me a lot with its very real representation of afab puberty and coming-of-age experiences, but there is something needed to be said on the language and writing of the movie that gives the film such a massive respect for me.
Because this is Disney/Pixar, right?
Disney, as a conglomerate, can be very restrictive on how they want specific stories to go. For a lot of animated Disney films, one could even see the formulas and pacing that are iconic to the company, but one of the big things that they try to make sure on was how they word/show varied experiences to appease all forms of audiences.
This includes omitting talk of any very risque jokes, mature topics, and basically making sure that the Rated G stories within don’t get into topics that would anger specific demographics that watch the company. Of course, the older films may differ with today’s regulations, but with the present films, that idea of keeping things “kid-friendly” can be found somewhere.
Either by the creative/exec team fighting the pressure relating to Luisa’s body, LGBTQ+ content, or even serialized formatting, there has always been some resistance to creators pushing the boundaries of what could be seen on screen.
One of them being afab experiences.
For many, the topics that are indulged in and experienced by afab people are demonized. Look toward boy bands, early fandom, and even stuff that is considered “feminine” you would find people seeing female experiences and agency as inappropriate or unnecessary.
And even if a female story is written, one could get a mess like Brave, where instead of women being placed into a position of writing/directing, are then scrapped for male writers who believe they could write an afab story to its core.
So then you have Turning Red, and the way they portray the struggles of a middle-school afab tween, at how it doesn’t pull any punches on how awkward this period of life is.
And how much this portrayal means a lot to me and many others as individuals.
Because I had seen people draw these romantic fantasies before. I had seen the wonky anatomy, the anime eyes, everything about keeping these fantasies hidden away from parents who would make a big deal over these new feelings.
People have felt that. People have witnessed it.
I had seen people thirst over boys in any single way possible. I had talked with friends who played “Hot or Not” over the newest crush, at how they looked toward men and women on what their sexuality was, and if they really wanted to date someone or if they didn’t.
There’s the talk of periods. The yells of distress over new bodily changes. The extensive list of cleaning products that media and society would always try to ignore as something dirty and messy, even though it is such a massive ordeal that happens for an afab person for most of their life.
You then get the focus of female friendships, the feelings of connection, and how integral friends are as support systems to an ever-growing tween scared over the new transitions.
All to the amount of internalized shame over trying to understand and indulging in romantic/sexual fantasies. The wanting to explore one’s options but restrained by the idea of being the perfect, clean daughter in a family’s life.
That you ultimately feel defined by your family…
By the family before yours…
And how in the end, there comes this wanting for acceptance to change and grow from the mold.
To become the person that you choose to be.
All of these feelings are feelings I had witnessed and seen when I was in middle school and high school, and the writing doesn’t hesitate on showing what it means to be awkward, exploratory, and anxious to understand who you are as someone burgeoning to puberty and the real world.
A movie cannot represent every afab person on the planet, but the intent is clear, and it has turned the movie into one of the most realistic portrayals of afab tween coming-of-age I have ever seen.
Because people gush over the topics they love. People sing off-tune and do wacky poses. People get anxious over how they look to classmates, teachers, to adults. People feel tense and excited over new blossoming feelings to the sheer agony over changes in the body that they cannot control but can accept. People say comments (”stripper music”) and actions (twerking) just because they can!
Turning Red doesn’t hesitate to look at a teen/tween and tell them that the movie sees them through its medium.
And this is a Pixar movie mind you! These afab experiences were able to be seen, shown, and given credence, and everything about it blows my mind away.
Because by being directed and written by female crew members, every part of the movie screams out authenticity — that it understands the audience that it’s referring to. It tells its specific audience “I understand what you’ve struggled with, you shouldn’t be ashamed of these feelings, and you aren’t alone in feeling them.”
in honor of the owl house coming back on march 19th(? right?) i present to you the finished artwork i did with my motivation:
i love drawing her sm
Klee: Chemistry, more like cheMYSTERY because I have no idea what’s going on.
Diona: Calculus, more like calKILLus because a piece of my sanity dies with every equation.
Sayu: Biology, more like BYEology because I’m out.
Qiqi: Math, more like no.

How I think Dolores found out about Isabela and Mariano being set up together
Idk if anyone else has pointed this out about Bruno’s rats, but.
Rats typically only live for a year or so, maybe two if life is really good to them. So the rats Bruno has currently? They were born and grew up with him. He’s had generations of rats in there with him. He’s watched them come and go, and the present generation has never known a world without him in it.
I’m not sure what that makes me feel but it’s SOMETHING.

i’m kinda impressed with myself,,.,,.,.,……,.,, i went trhough like 4 fandoms in 1 day :’)
sometimes a family is a gifted young orphan, his adopted mother, her mother, a genius with a photographic memory, his parents, a twelve-year-old ex-circus freak, her secret agent father, a three-year-old with near-psychic abilities, a narcoleptic man in a green plaid suit, a skinny women running on seven minutes of sleep, and a zambian immigrant who can sometimes be spotted wearing a green wig
Sometimes a family is a genius old man with ugly clothes, an insomniac pencil lady, a short queen, a feral formerly amnesiac man, his also feral acrobatic daughter, her bucket, a bald boy with photographic memory, an especially average looking boy who’s good at riddles, his tutor turned mother, and a mean psychic toddler. And that’s beautiful.
i hope y’all know that i-Ready has lore-
It’s been established that Miraculous doesn’t show us every Akuma attack, just the most interesting ones (see Magician of Misfortune, the other 20-odd Mr. Pigeons) so there’s gotta be a lot that goes on off-screen. Here is a short list of things that definitely happened.
Akuma attack ended after 30 seconds because Alya Césaire beaned it in the head with a hackey sack
Nino has used the Guardians of the Galaxy “Dance Off, Bro!” to distract Akuma at least three times. He eventually had to stop because Hawkmoth was catching on
Luka did it once too, leading to a brief moment of confusion where Hawkmoth thought that they might be the same person
One iteration of Monsieur Pigeon went completely unnoticed for four hours until someone spotted him putting on a pigeon circus for some kids in the park
One version of Reflekta got trapped for half an hour because Rose begged to braid her hair and, Akuma or no, she’s still Juleka and is thus incapable of resisting Rose’s weapons-grade puppy eyes
One time Sabrina got Akumatized and Chloé didn’t even notice and just kept handing her stuff
