wait but i hate how no one actually talks about this. the man in that sauna is the only adult there. he was the father to that family. but no, we all knew that the shop owner was the father of that family because he said “yoohoo family”, referencing them as his family. but no one pays attention to this. guys, frozen had a gay couple. with a family. and there were so many amazing things about this movie that no one talks about ho frozen openly promoted gay marriage and gay families. i know that we argue a lot on tumblr, but i think we can all agree that this movie is the best thing that has ever happened to disney.
is that what you think “openly promoting gay families” is
like. i mean. even so, there’s an adult woman in there who could easily be used to diffuse any of that shit.
Okay, let’s hear this from Disney’s actual statement about LGBT representation and how this is totally what was presented on the screen.
But they wouldn’t openly ANNOUNCE that kind of thing right? It’s up to interpretation right? I mean, it’s not like OTHER companies have set out to make sure that everyone knows their stance on LGBT matters-
But HEEEEEEY good for you, Disney, for featuring two seconds of a character that MIGHT be interpreted as gay despite the fact that there is no evidence clearly stating so and that it could easily be disproved by that fact that the female could very well be the man’s wife.
Many cancer patients can be overwhelmed with the physical and emotional difficulties of their disease, and the loss of their hair from chemotherapy treatment certainly doesn’t help. Henna Heals, a rich community of nearly 150 henna tattoo artists worldwide established by a team of 5 women in Canada, helps women with cancer feel confident and beautiful again by drawing elegant henna crowns on their bare heads:
The intricate patterns that the artists create with all-natural henna paste are a unique and empowering substitute to the hats and wigs that many women use to cover their heads after losing their hair to chemotherapy. “For cancer patients, the henna crowns really are a healing experience,” claims Frances Darwin, the founder of Henna Heals. “This is all about them reclaiming a part of themselves that would normally be perceived as ill or damaged or not nice to look at and making it more feminine and beautiful.”
The traditional South-Asian temporary tattoos, which are made with 100% natural home-made henna paste, last for around two weeks and have no harmful side-effects. Henna Heals also offers henna services for special events and does belly painting for mother-to-be, but they always donate 10% of their proceeds to compensate the cost of the henna crowns they make for cancer patients.
im not gonna be the person to say it
I dont wanna be that person BUT….
Im gonna let someone else say it
…Okay then, I’ll do it.
Being physically or mentally ill does not give one a free pass to culturally appropriate. No person’s one moment of gratification is worth the stripping of humanity of literally one sixth of the earth.
And if you must indulge in the culture of others, particularly when it comes to Henna tattoos, why don’t you do it with people who are actually apart of that culture and not white girls with dreads???
This shit is exhausting. Being dressed up in a music video as a monk or geisha or something and acting goofy when you’re white is one thing but who honestly gives a fuck if you have some pretty artistic henna drawn on you, especially if its making people feel hopeful/better about themselves. I go to school with dozens of middle eastern Muslim girls and on certain days they’ll bring in their henna stuff and draw on anyone who wants one and they love doing it and the students love it and its all really cool and im sure some asshole on tumblr would call out one of those kids for posting a picture of their henna art if they were white for cultural appropriation. Pretty lame. Sorry if I wasnt politically correct when discussing the girls who do henna Im not sure about the correct terms
LET ME BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THIS. This is beautiful. Cultural appropriation is the adoption of some specific elements of one culture by a different cultural group. It describes acculturation or assimilation, but canimply a negative view towards acculturation from a minority culture by a dominant culture.
You see that little word….CAN. Henna (also usually known as Mehndi) is culturally appropriated when it is used at beach boardwalks for preteens getting there zodiac sings as a tramp stamp. Henna is a symbol for love, healing and protection which is what these lovely ladies promote.
Henna also is thought to cures headache and is also known to calm the nerves and bring health and beauty to the person. It is also believed to destroy any evil eye and bring heath and joy to the wearer. These women are doing exactly that.
DO NOT think you are a good person by bashing women who want to feel beautiful again by properly using henna for a part of what it was traditioned for. Literally stop being awful.
“why don’t you do it with people who are actually apart of that culture and not white girls with dreads???”
d’you think that sometimes when clint gets stuck in some bickering match with tony he just subtly takes his hearing aids out? like he’s sitting there nodding while tony gestures emphatically and makes all his elaborate snarky comments, waiting to see how long it’ll take tony to notice.
maybe he does it in meetings or whatever too. things get boring and he palms his hearing aids like he’s doing a magic trick and now he can just doze while whatever explanation or reprimand from fury carries on around him.
he’s probably got a prearranged hand signal with natasha so he knows when he’s supposed to put them back in, or at least when he needs to pretend like he’s engaged with a nod and a “yes, sir, absolutely!” whenever natasha tugs on her ear.
“you don’t do that when i’m talking do you?” steve asks him.
“course not,” clint says, hoping to god he’s not gonna need to prove it by recalling whatever steve was telling him about watercolours last week.
