september's coming soon

This was originally a post about the depiction of race in human!AU Zootropolis fanart (yes Nick is a victim of racism but drawing him as a white man only becomes racist-per-definition if you insist on reading the film as an allegory strictly of the contemporary US, and there are numerous indications that he is in fact meant to be read as white, now go wank about how it's racist to depict a white person as a victim of racism and stay clueless about how ethnic discrimination works in all other parts of the world)

Outside of discovering my new favourite 3D animated film, I've been following and slowly growing disillutioned with Banana Fish, because I've also been watching Sailor Moon on my work commute and it's just so much more fun. And, yanno, it can frankly state that people are gay without also having to make a point out of how they're rapists and-slash-or pedophiles.

I've been reading stuff in no language relevant to the internet, except I've recently been reading Emilia Galotti and I expected something poetic and parodically sentimental, but good god it is genuinely funny (I mean, for being a story ending with an honor killing). I'm finding that I enjoy reading drama a lot more than I thought I could, and that has set me wondering about the dialogue-fic you'd once upon a time find on FFN. I never understood why people would write dialogue-only fic, but if my stint of reading drama has proven anything, it is that I can certainly see why people might enjoy reading it.

( Or 'Vaiana' as it's named around here, thanks to a copyrighted porn star name )

It might in part be the fact that Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks were the only Zelda games that engaged me enought to spend hours on them, but this is a genuinely good film and it's a goddamn pity that the songs are so meh.

Like, even the fucking Phil Collins numbers from the millenial era worked better than the songs in this one.

But except from that it's really great, and certainly far above the medicricy of Frozen.
