Now rebloggable for 48 hours ONLY get it while you can

i watch baseball for the side quests

throwback to 2021 when the exact same player started doing this extended water bottle bincoculars sight gag in the dugout

this is the same guy who also made himself a fruit cocktail midgame. he is The manic pixie dream girl

baseball is actually not a sport it’s just a documentary of human nature and how we battle boredom. the stuff these teams get up to while they’re waiting their turn.

and it’s hilarious when they pull pranks on each other, like attaching things to other people’s caps:

or the beloved hot foot prank:

or when they decided to put a guy’s pants over his head and make it seem like he was walking on his hands:

or when they opposing pitchers took turns playing tic tac toe every time they got on the mound:

i take back everything bad i've ever said about baseball these boys can fucking Post

Sometimes you have to entertain yourself out in the field too, like the time Victor Robles made friends with a praying mantis.

and some college baseball shenanigans

So lately I’ve noticed all the different kinds of girls on tumblr. The ones that have the pictures with all the notes? These five types of girls are basically all the types of girls I see on my dash. Minus the nekked girls, but I didn’t really want to draw that so :T 

SMPLIVE CUBITO FIGHT. this is specifically about smplive btw no other server or irl (blorbos in law are allowed too ❤️)

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

the switch from ‘a girl worth fighting for’ to coming upon the decimated village in mulan is THE MOST kick-in-the-teeth mood change IN ALL OF CINEMA

That scene shift did more for our generation’s understanding of the horror of war in ten seconds than Game of Thrones did in eight seasons, and it did it without showing us a single dead body. 

OKAY BUT HOLD ON THOUGH.

I’ve spent the past… five? Let’s say five - the past five years analyzing the structure of Disney Musicals as part of the process to write my own/a parody of them, and the thing is that all the modern ones have roughly the same number of songs - except Mulan.

Mulan has about half, because after AGWFF ends with that unresolved final phrase, there are no more songs until the end credits, which isn’t even sung in-universe.

Mulan wasn’t even the REALM of fucking around - when they arrive at that village, when the true horrors of war are brought into the story, not only does it interrupt THAT song, it breaks the entire fucking mold - the movie’s damn genre changes; it is no longer a musical.

And the Huns represent this from the start - Jafar and Hades are notable for not having proper villain songs, but Jafar does get his Prince Ali refrain and Hades and his plan get sung ABOUT by the muses. No scene with the Huns has any singing, they are mentioned once in song (the second line of Man, natch), and they of all Disney Villains are probably the most serious - no jokes, no witty asides, no sassy delivery of dry humor. The Huns are an invading army who plan to straight up kill a fuckton of people, including children, and AGWFF’s sudden end is the moment when our happy go lucky MUSICAL protagonists finally come in contact with them and their work directly - and it breaks them. Because shit like the Huns cannot exist in happy go lucky musical world. They just exist in our world. The real world. And you can’t sing your problems away here.

The end of A Girl Worth Fighting For is a brilliant use of metanarrative sensibilities to convey a message. It is utterly perfect.

Daaaamn, Tony. That’s fucking deep, my guy

I didn’t spend two years and thousands of dollars on a Master’s Degree in literature to NOT over analyze every text I engage with.

It showed the horrors of war more effectively than a lot of media that loves to throw sexual assault and mass murder around like it’s a pigskin.

also i think i saw this on a different reblog chain, but someone pointed out that at the end of the song ‘A girl worth fighting for’ not only do they pan to the destruction of the village but they focus on a doll lying in the wreckage. And all through the song the soldiers are describing the ‘perfect’ girl to fight for, to explain why they’re fighting at all before stopping on the doll. 

The doll basically wipes all the previous lighthearted descriptions and fantasies of the soldiers away. Cause now they realise that this, this doll that probably belonged to a little girl, who likely died scared and in pain, is why they fight. The innocent children, the elderly, the mothers, all the people who were relying on them to protect them cause the Huns did not care who they killed. 

You could argue that while the song might end musically, thematically it continues to the end of the movie. Because yeah, the song is literally about what kind of girl they consider to be worth fighting for. And at first they’re young and kind of naive, and they imagine only romantic love or close family is worth fighting for. And then the music ends and they have the first realization upon seeing the doll. Because they realize that they don’t care that they didn’t know that child. They don’t care that they didn’t see her die. The fact that she died at all is wrong, and they’re changed by that. And then, the rest of the movie is them learning of another girl they could fight for, choosing NOT to fight for her at first, because she broke the rules, but in the end coming to the conclusion that not only is she worth fighting for, so is their own femininity. Like, yeah, the cross-dressing is played for laughs, because it’s the 90s. But the fact that these men are willing to dress up as women in order to actually have a chance to deal with the situation, rather than honorably charging straight into battle (and most likely die)? Also, I feel like with this extended view of AGWFF, it goes from “a girl worth DYING for” to “a girl worth LIVING for”.

Happy birthday Queen
