I’m surprised that no one has mentioned and showing appreciation for Cher@Fogu, Marie@friendsof3villages, Kielo@talesofthreetowns, @harvestoracle and other similar blogs for their contributions to the fandom. It must’ve taken so much time to make guides, translating, scanning and sharing contents that are not easily available for the Western Fandom, and yet they still did so voluntarily. That’s why I believe they deserve as much credits as the artists and writers too imo! Thank you!
Seeing all this confessions about people’s first Harvest Moon having been one from the 2000s makes me feel really old, cause I got into with the very first release on the SNES.
I cannot believe we’re still tearing Cinderella down! 2018 only has a few months left and we’re still doing this, we’re still painting her as the weakest Disney princess and we’re still painting her weakness as a bad thing?
Why?
Why are people so caught up on bashing this princess?
“The movie is so simplistic—”
In what way is it possibly simplistic?!
“She didn’t work hard—”
YES, SHE DID!
“Well, okay, but the fairy godmother still had to come in—”
Yep, I remember the movie too, and the countless stories on which it’s based.
“So the fairy godmother was the one who caused the happily ever after.”
She sure was, now, what’s your point?
No, really, what’s your point? Is the point that Cinderella is somehow weak because she wasn’t 100% in control of her own life? Seems like a pretty disgusting opinion to have when the whole movie is about an abuse victim finding a way out of her horrible situation. So Cinderella wasn’t the one who got herself out. So what? Instead of looking the movie at its bare surface, maybe try analyzing it with a bit more thought and tact. You might see something a little different. A magical transformation, if you will.
Because Cinderella did work hard.
And guess what we learned from that?
You can work
and work
and work
And there will still be people out there who will try to tear you apart:
Literally.
And that sucks. It’s a horrible lesson to learn but it is something we will all face in our lifetimes. There will always be people who will try to tear us down, there will always be people who will try to rip us apart, until we’re in a low place:
Until it seems like there’s no hope…
Until it seems like you’re too weak to get out on your own…
And maybe you are.
Maybe you are too weak to get out on your own. Maybe you’re not the strongest woman in the world. Maybe you’re not capable of screaming at the top of your lungs or brandishing a weapon or throwing a punch. Maybe you’re not able to get out of something on your own. Maybe you hit a low point and maybe you have no way out of it. Not alone. But that’s just it.
You’re not alone.
Even at your lowest point, someone will come help you.
You don’t have to do it all alone.
It’s okay to have a little help when you have nowhere else to turn.
Cinderella is the story about an abuse victim who is unable to get out of her toxic situation by herself and just when she begins to lose all hope, is able to get help from an unlikely source. It’s the story about a girl who needs help getting to her happily ever after and that’s okay.
Give us advocates:
They deserve their happily ever afters!
Give us warriors:
They deserve their happily ever afters!
Give us fighters:
They deserve their happily ever afters!
Give us girls who are not advocates, girls who are not warriors, girls who are not fighters, girls who still deserves their happily ever afters:
YOU might be the magical fairy godmother in someone’s life and not even know it. Something you said to somebody could have saved their life, or given them the courage to ask for help.
listen i know 2019 being the danger days year is kinda memey and all but if theres anything yall genuinely take away from this i want yall to be loud as fuck
go to that protest, punch that bigot, do that graffiti, fuck yeah, but this also goes out to the people who arent in a position to do those things
kiss your partner in public, dont let other people define the language you use for yourself, say “im gay/lesbian/bi/trans/etc” out loud even if its just in the mirror, break gender roles, hell!!! just wear those fucking shoes people say are tacky!!! cut holes in your jeans because you think it looks cool even though you’re embarrassed of what other people will think!!!!
2019 is the year of making some goddamn noise in any way you can because all of it counts
gender is dead wear whatever you want be kind to your friends and take no shit!! welcome to the zones baby!!!!!!!!!!
didn’t realize they change colors. now I know o gotta wish.
islandnymph
THIS SHIT IS REAL I GOT THE JOB I WAS NUTS ABOUT BC I REBLOGGED THIS YESTERDAY maybe it’s a coinkidink but it okay just take the necessary steps to achieve what you’re wishing for and YOU CAN DO IT
Like, the “goal” of being trans isn’t to pass, it’s to be happy. And if your happiness is squared away in passing then whatever I ain’t gonna yell at ya for it, but thats a you kinda thing and saying it’s the overarching “goal” of everyone’s is ridiculous.
Weird how opening spotify in a web browser with a decent ad blocker allows you to skip ads just like would happen if you had premium. Sure hope no one takes advantage of that.
I’m a bisexual woman who tends to prefer other girls. This makes the romantic festivals in 3oT kinda funny to me, because I married Ford and now have to spend the romantic festivals with cute girls instead of the guys I wasn’t interested in to begin with. I feel like Ford would have a sense of humour about it, though. I bet he and my farmer make jokes about my “gal pals” from time to time afterwards.
