One of my favorite things about Howl’s Moving Castle is how frankly and fluidly magic is portrayed. Magic suits its user, and because of this we hardly recognize it as magic because it matches the character.
This is all just to say, I really love that Howl’s magic is intellectual and Sophie’s is instinctive and intuitive.
Howl’s magic: so if we postulate that the allegorical addition of the circular wand motion at the 47th degree of the midnight chime from which the fire and brimstone qualities of the malachite substance-
Sophie’s magic: *points at thing* bitch i hope the fuck you do, you be a dead sonofabitch i tell you that
I don’t know if that’s meant in a metaphorical way as in, “their insults have no bite” or a literal sense as in “someone was talking shit so he got his fucking teeth knocked out” but I like it either way
>Good guy director gets fired after far-right pundit digs up past he repeatedly apologized for
>Tumblr thinks this is okay
New rule, starting now. Anyone making a snarky comment about this gets unfollowed because that’s gross
>28 year old my little pony fan thinks I value their opinion on someone getting fired for making rape jokes
hahahahaha here I was, legit hoping this discourse wouldn’t show up on my blog but, there it is. wow.
#1) The person who dragged up the pedophilia jokes about James Gunn is none other than far-right blogger Mike Cernowich. You know, the guy behind fucking #PIZZAGATE.
#2) James Gunn already apologized for previous behavior. Like, several years ago. In 2012. Before #MeToo. Before ANY of this. And his behavior since then proves a marked change.
#3) In fact, James Gunn’s behavior changed so radically that he became the target of Mike Cernovich. Because Gunn’s been pretty outspoken about our current president. Which didn’t sit well with President Pizzagate, not one bit.
#4) So Mike Cernovich finding and released all the old tweets during SDCC was NOT a coincidence. This was targeted to Disney, to see if Mike can wank himself over forcing the biggest major conglomerate to make a marketing decision in order to get ONE GUY rightfully furious about Trump out of the business.
#5) Look, I think James Gunn’s tweets are pretty damn horrible. But to put it on the same level as someone like Harvey Weinstein is disingenuous.
#6) We’re not winning any wars with the mentality of “problematic people are forever doomed for having once done problematic things, even if they’ve changed.” And like stated above, James Gunn is NOT another Weinstein. I’ve said homophobic things in the past, and I’m A LESBIAN for fuck’s sake!!
#7) Dave Bautista isn’t the only one who’s on James Gunn’s side in this. The entire GOTG cast is on his side.
#8) In the end this isn’t just about GOTG. This isn’t about Disney. This isn’t about James Gunn’s career (he’ll bounce back). This is about Right-winger trolls weaponizing accountability. And it’s fucking gross.
