i love prince eric. Ā from the little mermaid. Ā heās hilarious. Ā because he seems like one of the most mild-mannered and unassuming princes in the disney canon, but he is also one of the few to actively kill the bad guy. Ā most disney villains die by consequence of the final battle but are not directly killed by the hero/heroine. Ā most of them fall to their deaths or cause their own demise, and sometimes the hero is indirectly responsible because theyāll launch them into that direction or something, but they still donāt bring knife to heart directly. Ā
but then a couple do. Ā and prince eric is my fave out of those few because up until the final act, he is the most chill motherfucker u ever seen. Ā like he is quick to spring to action during the storm scene n stuff, but otherwise? Ā heās really quiet n sensitive and runs along the beach playing the flute for his big shaggy dog n he smiles like a lil nerd and gets all cute around ariel and heās so sweet n everything.
AND THEN IN THE FINAL BATTLE THAT MOTHERFUCKER STRAIGHT UP DRIVES A SHIP THROUGH URSULA LIKE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!! Ā NO WONDER NO ONE IS TRYIN TO LAY SIEGE TO HIS KINGDOM!! Ā ALL THE NEIGHBOURS ARE LIKEĀ āHOLY SHIT DONāT GO THERE! PRINCE ERIC IS A BEAST! Ā HEāLL STRAIGHT UP DRIVE A BOAT THROUGH YOUR BITCH!ā
i love him
At the beginning of the movie Prince Eric, without hesitation, jumps into the ocean, in the middle of a storm, and climbs onto a ship thatās on fire, all to rescue his dog.
Then when heās convinced some mystery woman saved him, he starts looking for her just to thank her. On his way, he meets some mute naked teenage girl who canāt even walk or dress herself, confirms that sheās not the girl heās looking for, then brings her to stay at his castle anyway, for no particular reason.
No one questions this, just like they donāt question when he shows up three days later with a mysterious woman one morning and says heās getting married that same day. At said wedding, several witnesses see his fiance turn into a sea monster, which he then murders by piloting a submerged ship pulled up from the bottom of the ocean straight into her.
A week later, he marries the mute girl and the god of the sea himself rises from the ocean to give his blessings. Again, no one questions this.
Iām convinced that Eric had to have done some crazy insane stunts on a regular basis, cause despite him being so chill and relaxed normally, no one bats an eyelash at any of his ridiculous decisions or incredible feats during the course of the film. Clearly theyāre all used to it, and rumours of him marrying an ocean princess would only dissuade potential enemies of his country even further.
a common conversation around the kingdom:
āDid you hear what Prince Eric did this morning?ā
āOh gods, not again.ā
i feel like i have never appreciated Prince Eric until now.
hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free
if cis people donāt have to pay to have a body that doesnāt make them dysphoric, neither should trans people
So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who donāt suffer from them donāt have to pay to have them?
yes
And does that mean that corrective lenses should also be free, because people with good vision donāt need to pay to see clearly, and that devices to aid in mobility for people with limited mobility (from crutches to (practical) canes to wheelchairs to prosthetics) should also be free, because people who donāt have limited mobility donāt need to pay for them?
yes? why does everyone in the notes keep trying to come up with gotchas lmao everything to do with healthcare should be free
Then by that logic, healthy food and clean water should be free because without food and water we will die. Also, without water, hygiene will be minimal therefore increasing the chances of disease.
Yes. People should have access to a healthy happy life and the whole point of a society is to support eachother and work together. how brainwashed by capitalism are you to think food and water shouldnāt be free in an ideal world.
this post is such a wild ride every time.Ā āso by this logic, people should have free access to the things they need to live and survive?????????ā like yes bitch, all of it !!!
Sometimes I remember that thereās a massive beef in the paleontological community between Jack Horner and Robert Bakker and itās so big that when they both worked as advisers on the Jurassic Park films, Spielberg made 2 characters based on them and had a T. rex eat Bakkerās character as a favour to Horner.
āThe bearded paleontologist Dr. Robert Burke, who is eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex in Steven Spielbergās film The Lost World: Jurassic Park, is an affectionate caricature of Bakker.
In real life, Bakker has argued for a predatory T. rex, while Bakkerās rival paleontologist Jack Horner views it as primarily a scavenger.
According to Horner, Spielberg wrote the character of Burke and had him killed by the T. rex as a favor for Horner. After the film came out, Bakker recognized himself in Burke, loved the caricature, and actually sent Horner a message saying, āSee, I told you T. rex was a hunter!ā.ā
sometimes I think people in the taz fandom donāt realize just how long a century is
like, thereās a reason people celebrate 50 year marriages, thatās a long time to spend with another person. the ipre crew did double that and still liked each other at the end of it. they all know each other to a degree thatās probably terrifying.Ā
Oh this is something I think about A LOT
Like ive read some fics that are like, āand this secret came out in cycle 12ā or ‘they finally felt comfortable enough to do whatever thing in cycle 23ā but likeā¦..thatās more than a decade, more than 2 decades. That shit woulda happened within the first 5 years or so, if not the first damn year???
Like by the time theyāve got to 2 decadesā¦think about people celebrating 20 year marriagesāitās A LONG ASS TIME. The degree of comfort they must be at by a century? I canāt even imagine!
I think itās because we think of the cycles in numbers: 1-100, and ex. 23 or whatever is like, early in that. 23/100. But likeā¦ā¦thatās YEARS. Holy FUCK.
I really want to see this explored, at some point, in fic.
