[On how she got her role on ‘Hugo’] “Basically, I got a call from my agency and they were like “Look, Martin Scorsese is making a movie,” […] they said “We’re only casting local brits because we want the real accent, we want the whole thing,” and I was like “Okay, well. You know, I’ll do a tape and I’ll audition for it.” So I wore a little wig, and I did everything in a british accent, and he loved it. So he flew me and Asa Butterfield— the kid who played Hugo— to New York to do an audition for him, in front of him. So I flew out there, keeping up the act that I was british […] And then as I was leaving — luckily, he was amused — I said in my regular voice, “Bye Marty!” and he was like, “Wait. What? Where’d your accent go?” And I was like…”
(( Frollo has always scared the shit out of me. He’s honestly the most terrifying and fascinating Disney villain in my books, and when I got old enough to understand his creepy fascination with Esmerelda… damn Frollo, calm down.
So… after listening to THIS incredible cover… I couldn’t help myself. Here’s my genderbent screenshot edits for “Frolla and Esmereldis”. XD ))
“malala is a role model for EVERY LITTLE GIRL regardless of race and religion”
no no n
o
no no fuck stop it
it is not regardless of race and religion she is a role model SPECIFICALLY for muslim little girls around the world. little white girls around the world have TONS of role models. everywhere. literally all over television, books, you name it. admire Malala, yes. that’s not what is being said. do not take something that is meant for a specific culture simply because you want it.
who knew someone could get so angry at a child
ok do you realize how much of an asshole you sound right now
i mean this girl can’t be any older than 8 and you are saying that her and other girls like her are culturally appropriating and that they shouldn’t be allowed to look up to Malala because they aren’t Muslim
you’re saying that girls of other races and religions can’t be inspired by her story of standing up to men who are terrorizing them and threatening them and their peers
plus, if you had taken the time to read the article that this image was attached to you’d realize that it’s in the context of examining the beneficial nature of girls using more political and intellectual role models over the traditional princesses that girls are pushed to be like
so this girl is emulating an individual that she respects, and is choosing to look up to an activist rather than a sexualized cartoon character
and that’s frigging great
You can’t stop intolerance by creating more of it. That little girl has equal right to appreciate and look up to Malala than any other girl regardless of background or beliefs.
