the flowers on Isabela’s dress and in her hair - cattleya trianae orchids (may lilies), national flowers of Colombia
Camilo snapping his fingers when he is excited
Mirabel using her lips to point
flowered balconies (like in Cartagena)
ruanas (ponchos) that Bruno and Camilo wore
Dolores’ “squeaks”
inviting the whole town/neighbourhood to a party
sombrero vueltiao - traditional Colombian hat
Isabela being covered in the colors of Colombian flag (🇨🇴) during her song
and many many more!
(this is for all the people who still say Encanto is not about Colombians ; sorry about the quality of the gifs)
How did it all start?
How did men start thinking that they were superior to women
Why did women start feeling inferior
Where did it all begin?
How did "you throw or fight like a girl" became an insult
How did " being a girl" became an insult ?
And more Importantly why did we start thinking like that
Why can't people understand that women are human too?
We are not goddesses. We are not dumb and weak.
We are human
Start treating us like one
With Shadow & Bone coming out soon I just want to clarify where I stand: I'm well aware that the Darkling is a POS and that Darklina is toxic. Like, that's the point. They will always be at odds, always be enemies, but at the same times they're attracted to each other and understand each other. The idea of them trying to destroy each other during the day but not being able to resist seeing each other at night is alluring and hot in a context of fiction. I don't expect them (nor want, unless it's all very different in the show, who knows) to be endgame. Everyone jokes about how they'd go dark side for an attractive villain, and well, the Darkling played by Ben Barnes is a perfect exemple of that.
I remember reading fanfics of harry Potter and it felt like being transported back in time. I could spent hours reading It and when I would look up I would lose all my sense of reality. We took that world from her and made it our own. Harry Potter is so much more than jk Rowling. It is more than just those books. It's a million stories and thousands of writers. I am just filled with so much whenever I think about harry Potter. It just doesn't feel the same to me as much as i want it to.
it’s always “wyd?” and never “i would come for you. i would come for you. and if i couldn’t walk, i’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together — knives drawn, pistols blazing. because that’s what we do. we never stop fighting.”
why can’t i stay in bed all day reading books and listening to music while creating fake scenarios in my head like there isn’t a law against it so wtf
I am lowkey gonna miss these quarantine days.
Today I learned that I still have very strong feelings about Mr. Davey Squidface Jones from the pirates of the Caribbean movies, and there is a very real part of me just waiting for the chance to yell about it
I have exams coming up and I am so stressed. Someone kill me.
Is it wierd that chaos makes me feel peaceful??
