you can say what you want about the last jedi, but poe’s worried ‘’where’s my droid?!’’ before he runs towards bb8, kneels and excitedly rubs/tickles bb8 and rests his forehead on bb8′s dome head was the best piece of acting and cinematography i’ve ever seen in my entire life okay UNPARALLELED
LOOK HOW PURE
that head touch is literally what i do with any dog that will allow me
The excited wiggle BB-8s body does when it gets scritched is maybe the best thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
I have wanted to make this comparison since I saw Finding Dory the other day, because its so interesting to see how different parents treat a child who was born with a disability, and I think Disney captured the two different kids of parents. Thus, I created this sort of mini “do’s/don’ts” guide, using these two movies! Note: spoilers for Finding Dory!
DO:
Treat them as you would any other child
Change your life to accommodate for them
Create strategies to help them cope
Never isolate them or make them feel as if they are different
Encourage them to accept themselves for who they are
Trust your child, and know they will be okay
How did Dory’s parents do this? Dory’s parents created a bunch of strategies in order for Dory to cope with her short-term memory loss. They used role-play in order for Dory to practice for the real thing, so she knew how to act, and to address her disability, rather than conceal it. They created easy to remember songs to protect her. They always ensured she knew they loved her. They trusted her to come back, and knew she would remember the shells, and that that would lead her to them. Then, they let her socialise with the other children because they trusted her.
DON’T:
Make the child feel different
Isolate the child
Make the child feel scared of themselves
Tell them to conceal, rather than embrace themselves
Poor coping strategies
What did Elsa’s parents do wrong? Elsa’s parents made quite a few mistakes. While ice magic is a complete contrast to memory loss, think about this metaphorically. If similar strategies were adopted for Elsa as they were for Dory, Elsa would have been much happier within herself, and if Dory was given these strategies, she would have also lived her life in fear. Elsa’s parents allowed her “difference” (even though I hate that word) to control her life, and constantly told her it was something to be afraid of, and to hide it away from the rest of the world. There was little trust towards Elsa (note: “Elsa what have you done?”), and she felt isolated, different, and you should never do that with a child, as it carried on for the rest of her life. Even with their coping strategies (the gloves, “conceal, don’t feel”), it was all about hiding rather than embracing. Elsa’s parents were not abusive. They just made bad choices.
“…but you’re Peggy’s niece, and that’s a little weird. Also, we were just at her funeral, so maybe let’s talk in a year.”
“Hey, here are some FDR pens you might like. Also, wasn’t Bucky brainwashed by Hydra? I have this memory-correcting software called BARF, maybe we could give that a whirl.”
“You were going to NUKE New York City, and you’re upset because we knocked over a few buildings?”
“Ultron as going to kill everyone, and you’re upset because we knocked over a few buildings?”
“Wasn’t keeping track of the Hulk your job, General Ross?”
“Wait, what’s this about no lawyers and a fucking ‘raft prison?’ I’m not signing this bullshit.”
“I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
“Wait, where was your dad even going with all that supersoldier serum?”
“What’s in the backpack?”
“So you got your shield back, and Falcon got his wings, but where’s my backpack?”
“Was that a glossy headshot of me in your journal, or are you just happy to see me?”
Wait who was the “ i love you” between? Viszh and wanda or bucky and Steve?!??
I go with: Stucky, WandaVision, AND Clintasha… ^_-
I’d like to think that they tried to form Garnet often but couldn’t quite get it because they needed to work on some of the problems surrounding their situation
But don’t worry, They’ll get through them together and have their happy ending :3
