I know everyone realizes that disney amvs are a gold mine but as someone who has been collecting them for years I am telling you right now: the ones that blow up on tumblr are only the absolute tip of the iceberg.  

here’s some personal favorites of mine.  synopsis included. 

keep in mind that none of these are parody videos.  they’re all 100% serious I promise you

cinderella’s sister gets plastic surgery because she doesn’t think jim from treasure planet likes her so she turns into jessica rabbit 

a “the fault in our stars” trailer made with footage of elsa from frozen and raphael from teenage mutant ninja turtles

 willy wonka and the guy from howl’s moving castle break up

anna from frozen has to choose between actors ashton kutcher and owen wilson

twilight sparkle hates herself for falling in love with jim from treasure planet because he’s a human boy

sleeping beauty has an affair with rule 63 esmerelda and they get caught and die

andy and woody from toy story turn into the men from brokeback mountain and fall in love with each other

in this one titties are edited onto jasmine for jim from treasure planets possessed fuck fest 

real life porn is used to show that loki and draco malfoy are having sex

everyone is harley quinn and the joker. every single person

peter pan loses a beyblade competition to aladdin and I think his dad leaves him for it but they fall in love

don’t forget the amount of editing effort that goes into a lot of them, that DESERVES some massive props

a lot of queer people feel this thing you’re describing, this sense of being unmoored or aimless or overwhelmed with the prospect of living adult lives we — unlike our cis, straight peers — never imagined. Because our community struggles with higher rates of depression than the general population; because we haven’t historically had role models in books and TV shows and movies to show us the way; because political parties and religions have consistently scapegoated us and tried to take away our civil rights by distorting or erasing our stories; because we didn’t have a chance to test out our futures playing make-believe as kids or a chance to talk out our futures with our parents or pals or guidance counselors, for fear of seeming weird or because we didn’t even know queer adulthood could exist.

What you’re feeling is perfectly normal, is what I’m saying.

I know I’ve talked about this before but when I was younger, and for some time before i was born, almost anything you might call a “fandom” – be it for movies, or games, or even music – seemed fairly united in their dislike of “the offendable.”

What we MEANT by that, though, or so most of us thought, were the rampant right-wing religious groups and traditionalists who complained about interracial couples in children’s films, accused Pokemon of being a Satanic conspiracy and boycotted Teletubbies because they thought it might make children gay. Nobody talked like criticism itself was the problem or the enemy. People just agreed that prejudice and old fashioned views were the enemy.

It’s baffling, alarming, sad and weird as shit to grow up and watch this warp and mutate like it has. Today, we suddenly have tons of people who think they’re still fighting that same war to “defend creativity” without even realizing they’ve perfectly switched sides.

Now people will rush to defend the free speech of a homophobic or racist creator while calling the detractors of that behavior the “sensitive pearl clutchers,” as if there was somehow never any difference between “I don’t like gay people” and “I don’t like gay jokes.”

when will people realize that not every lesbian is a white blonde girl with super long hair who has a “nice” body with tattoos and resides in california

black lesbians exist (incl. dark skins)
brown lesbians exist
east asian lesbians exist
indigenous lesbians exist
islander lesbians exist
latinx lesbians exist
jewish lesbians exist
muslim lesbians exist
fat lesbians exist
nb lesbians exist
lesbians who aren’t able bodied exist
trans lesbians exist
mentally ill lesbians exist
lesbians who don’t fit eurocentric beauty standards exist

and we’re not just here to be a token post on your blog. we exist and we’re real and we’re just as valid.

you can say disabled lesbians. Disabled is NOT a bad word. 

sincerely,

a disabled genderqueer lesbian.

turing-tested:

to anyone with a history of alcholism in their family and is yet to be 21: be careful. its hereditary. its learned as a coping mechanism. sometimes it just happens.

when you turn 21, go ahead and enjoy a couple drinks! (if you feel comfortable with that.) and then chill out. if you find yourself drinking more than 4 times a week, seek help. try to stop. at least be on the lookout for triggers that lead to you drinking.

you can be an alcoholic at 21, you can be an alcoholic at 16. dependence on alcohol doesn’t care about age or background.

you can be sober. you can live life without alcohol. you don’t have to be like your parents.

creepycrawlycrazies:

you’re not stealing from “real” abuse victims if you’ve been bullied
you’re not faking or invading the community if your friend was your abuser
you’re not weak for being traumatized by “just” bullying

if you were bullied, your abuse was real abuse, you have the right to call your abusers what they are, your abuse and trauma isn’t lesser, and you’re strong for surviving everything you did. keep on going. i’m here for you.
