Gaston on women’s Lib.
You see this is the sort of thing I like. Because, especially at Disney, you don’t want to really discourage any of those ideals “thinking, having your own ideas” but you also have to stay in character. So you associate those ideals with the princess in the group, the one who the young girl is supposed to idolize. So, while staying in character, Gaston can announce his displeasure for women who read while also encouraging it in a young girl by giving it the good association of Belle. Idk, I always thought those work arounds that Disney villain face characters go through to not be overtly mean to children but stay in character were really interesting.
I just gained so fucking much respect for this Gaston.
No one’s sneakily a feminist like Gaston

When I was…sixteen? my best friend and her mum took me to Disneyland Paris/actual Paris for a weekend. I bought a cheap disposable camera to carry around with me. (This was before the days of camera phones.) I got the film developed when I got back, put the photos in a nice album and then forgot about them for almost a decade. Then I found the photo album again as an adult, had a proper look and…
…They’re actually quite good. I like the last one especially.

Today, for no reason, I have been researching abandoned theme parks. How creepy are these and these? And how sad is this? (If I’d gone to Disneyworld a couple of years earlier I could have had a go on that submarine. Although I probably wouldn’t have because I’m scared of squid.) I especially like the cute dragony-thingy. How could they destroy those awesome models? I bet most people would have taken them for free.
And then there’s Action Park, which has been a constant source of fascination for me ever since I first heard of it. Probably the most dangerous theme park in the world, six people died there and countless more injured. Unsuprisingly, it’s been closed since 1996…
I bloody love theme parks. Most of the rides tend to scare the crap out of me though.
