the thing that gets me about about barbie is that barbie land wasn’t even purposefully a matriarchy, barbie land came about because of the way little girls were playing with their barbies, it wasn’t created by mattel it was created by the people using the toys, so the fact that the barbies ignored the ken’s and had girls night every night wasn’t because they had some bias against him, it was just an accurate depiction of how kids play with barbies. I had some ken dolls as a child and they were essential to the plot in the sense that of course my barbie has a boyfriend because that represented the world i saw around me, but also he didn’t have any purpose in my dream world because i was only interested in what the girls were doing because they represented me and how i wanted to be, I wanted girls night every night I wanted the girls to be president and austronauts and not because of some inherent feminist idea but because I was a girl and I wasn’t thinking about boys, ken was an accessory. this movie wasn’t made to change the world but it showed a different perspective than what we usually see which I thought was fun. Men don’t have to be the centre of all our stories and its not even because we hate them, sometimes we’re just not thinking about them
yellowjackets + Herakles - Euripides (Tr. Anne Carson)
thinking about taissa in yellowjackets and mental illness specifically when she's talking to shauna and shauna is like i had all these plans that i didn't do because of the crash whereas taissa literally did everything she planned... but looking at their lives like shauna seems so stuck in the past married to her dead best friend's boyfriend and the others too all have this problem to an extent like nat especially is actively wallowing in her misery as an adult completely incapable of escaping it even temporarily without drugs but taissa is, if anything, the most stuck in the past because she absolutely refuses to acknowledge what happened and it shapes her life entirely, her life that doesn't feel real... her happy marriage is a farce her dream of running for office is completely unviable because of people's knowledge of her past, her relationship with her son being that he's ultimately afraid of who she is 'deep down', her other self, but like the other self IS her! like it's her pain her trauma and she literally doesn't want anyone to see it. and she's RIGHT to, because when they see it, they're afraid, they stay away from her, they say she's dangerous, terrifying. and that's straight up because they don't know her. only the other yellowjackets know her truly. everyone else literally only knows the front she puts on, even her wife and son. she's already fighting such an insane uphill battle as a black lesbian in general but specifically in politics, and everyone wants to KNOW. they want to know what she did and they want to see her bleed, they want to see her break, and she is so steadfast to not let them see it - but she can't escape it. you can't escape your trauma and what it has done to you, and that's all she wants, but it's boiling over, it's breaking her at the seams.
can't believe i got SO tired of h0sies on twt that now im trying to make my tumblr acc work
smthing i can just never believe when ppl (mostly twitter users) complain about a girl character being made to look 'mannish' or 'masculine' and talk about the death of femininity and every time i get excited and think 'oh okay cool did we get a butch character or-' and its literally jusg a regular fucking woman like you would see at the grocery store. like jusyt a normal woman
