Congrats?

Congrats?

Listen, I've been pretty impressed with the #blacklivesmatter movement. I being African American want to see change. It's great people are demanding change for an issue that's been swept under the rug for far too long.

That said, I don't think they should re-theme Splash Mountain with the Princess and the Frog. Now before you get mad here me out.

Yes, I understand people are upset about the rides racist roots. Yes, I understand Tiana is a strong Princess who deserves her own ride in the parks. And yes, I understand this is growth for Disney.

But consider this.

1.) I dunno it feels like some handout. Like shouldn't Tiana have her own ride entirely instead of being used to cover up racially controversial ride? Like they only chose her to replace the ride because they figured she'd appease the people the ride currently offends. (If you catch what I'm saying) This girl was all about putting the work in to make her dream happen. Instead of working to create a new ride in honor of her story, her story feels like it's just a new paint job. Was her story chosen to replace splash mountain because it was a good fit or for other reasons?

2.) Tiana's dream was to open a restaurant. Why not instead of a ride give the Princess what she dreamed of in Liberty Square? Have beignets and a jazzy New Orleans vibe restaurant. At an affordable price, like the princess would have wanted.

3.) I read Disney's release statement saying they'd been planning this update for almost a year. So what? Was the original tweet just to create buzz so that when they changed the theme it would seem like the people's idea? I don't know if kind of suspicious if you ask me.

4.) Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm kinda assuming more than 5o% of the people advocating for the change had never heard of Song of the South until this was brought up. Like I asked my co-workers who are all at least 4 years older than me and they had no clue the movie existed. I was the only one out of 12. Soo... the ride kind of existed too many as its own thing separate from the movie all ready.

5.) By replacing the ride entirely, it feels less like Disney is owning their mistake and more like they're trying to forget it. Maybe instead of replacing the story you fix it so it isn't racist rewrite the characters. Fix the problem instead of covering it up with something shiny and new. Perhaps giving the characters new names, improved dialects, and a story all their own is the right way to go.

6.) Where am I going to hear Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da? It's kind of a park classic, that'll leave me feeling incomplete if I don't hear it somewhere in the park.

7.) If they are going to redo the ride are they still going to own up to what they did. For me personally they should or they should just consider number 5. Will there be a plaque for people to read while in line that basically says they messed up. They made a ride that hurt many people. They know this won't fix what they did, but they want to be better.

8.) It's a classic Disney ride. They've already taken away so many classics. The Great Movie Ride, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, etc. This is one ride I want my kids to enjoy. And they later want to educate them on its history. This one was a big part of my childhood and I want it to be a part of my children's.

9.) Also if they really want to make a statement maybe the profits made off the Splash Mountain Merchandise that's seein a price increase, should be donated to the BLM movement.

10.) My biggest fear is that by replacing the ride many will forget what was once there. And just let Disney off the hook. They'll forget the history. They'll forget the story. And when we forget history, we often repeat it.

"History is who we are and why we are the way we are." ~David McCullough

No amount of guilt can change the past and in order to move forward we can't forget it. Any way... There's my rant on that. I'm sure you all have your opinions. I just ask that you respect mine. And could you imagine a Tiana, New Orleans style restaurant? God, I'd love it.

Also I do love Disney I do. But they doesn’t feel like they’re respecting the character it feels like they’re using her because she appeals to a group of people they’ve offended. Tiana deserves her own ride made from scratch and her own god damn restaurant. Thank you for listening to my rant.

This is the best Marvel edit I’ve ever seen WOW!! ❤️

Avengers AU - If Tony was Peter’s biological father

My other Avengers AUs

Back away from my daughter; 13th Doctor x child reader

And here is yet another request I got done with today this time we have the current Doctor the 13th Doctor. I am IN LOVE WITH HER AND SHE REDEEMED MY LOVE FOR DOCTOR WHO ONCE SHE CAME UP ON BOARD (Lately Capaldi’s episodes weren’t as good and almost made me stop watching Doctor who, private message me for more details) anyways I hope I did you justice anon as well as fans of Doctor who and made our current Doctor as in character as she is in the show.

Not really any warnings but fluff and protective Mama Doctor. Enjoy my lovelies :)

__________________________________________________

It seems I can never make her mad.  Ever since the regeneration, my dad or well I guess I should call her my mum, her personality has changed drastically.  She’s always so optimistic and happy and she never seems to get angry, so I’ve been wondering what it would be like to see her really angry.

I remember the last couple of times back when my mum was still my dad and anytime I did something bad, he would get mad at me but in the end still forgive me because he loved me. Well he didn’t do it as much in his last form because he was a grumpy grandpa but he still forgave me in the end.

Now I have tried to see what it would be like to see my mother get mad, I know not a typical kid thing to want to do willingly but I’m not like any other kid, my name is (y/n) and I’m the Doctor’s daughter.  I came into this world at my father’s 10th cycle of regeneration and since then we have had some pretty wild adventures, but my life got even wilder when my dad soon regenerated into a woman.

It was a bit odd having to call my dad my mum now but I soon adapted and she’s pretty cool to be around.  But back to my dilemma here.  I have tried various different things like accidentally breaking some of my mum’s things, trying to grab the controls of the TARDIS, even tried hiding some of Ryan’s, Yaz’s or Graham’s things.

Of course it got them mad but never my mum, which I found odd because she’d just rub it off and say it was just a little game we’d like to play. Which is true, but lately it hasn’t been as fun anymore.

The Weblings

So I watched Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse over break. I’ve seen all the Spidersones and they are amazing. But I can’t stop thinking about one thing y’all seem to be sleeping on. Peter and MJ. It’s pretty much implied that they try to make it work and get back together.

So here’s what I’m thinking. Peter and MJ got back together and decide to give kids a try but they’ve reached that age where having kids is difficult. Instead they adopt. A nine year old boy, Trenner and four year old girl Elodie. I wish I could draw but I can’t so here’s what they’d be like. In my opinion.

Trenner B. Parker

* Wild and untamed.

* Peter and MJ sign him up for plenty of after school activities to hopefully drain his energy. He

* Excels in soccer, and loves the Robotic team.

* Wants a dog.

* Plenty of late nights working on projects with his dad.

* Is protective of his sister.

* The best superhero is Spider-Man

* Mama’s boy.

* Baking wiz. (Honestly you haven’t lived until you’ve tried his chocolate lava cake.)

* Birth parents not in the picture.

* Wants a dog.

* Average intelligence.

* Never washes his blankets, they loose their softness.

* Seriously this boy wants a dog!

* Favorite movie Die Hard.

* He will beat anyone’s ass if they pick on his sister.

* Will only do apology dance for Elodie.

* In the middle of the social tower at school. Not quite popular but not unpopular.

* Will take his mom’s side.

* Yes he loves his dad.

* On guys night they sit in the shower eating pizza and contemplate life.

Elodie M. Parker

* Soft spoken and shy.

* Daddy’s girl.

* Only talks to her dad.

* Will yell if she’s pushed enough.

* Wants a ferret.

* Coolest superhero is Bruce Banner, not the hulk, Bruce Banner.
