Eep, I already missed a day of three_weeks_for_dw, didn't I?

And I am going to see a local community theater production of Spamalot in an hour, leaving in about twenty minutes. That's not really enough time to come up with whatever I'm doing...but whatever I'm doing, you can probably expect to see it over on alexconall, fyi.

oh right should say this here too

Been to see Spamalot.

gaston is the best and the rest is all drips

It's really amusing watching this movie through an autistic!Belle, toxic-masculinity-is-a-thing lens. Autistic!Belle is best headcanon. And the fundamental difference between the Beast and Gaston seems to be that the Beast learns better and consequently gets the girl, and Gaston, being determined not to learn better, dies.

Though I gotta say, that one gifset on Tumblr to the tune of "enchantress punishes eleven-year-old for being eleven, and all of eleven-year-old's extensive household to boot, and yet Gaston is the villain of the film? wut?" has a point. Not a point I like, but a point.

And the scene where Lumiere and Mrs. Potts are giving the Beast contradictory advice on how to impress Belle is quite reminiscent of a genderflipped version of "be sexy, but modest; be bold, but demure", etc.

No way is Chip more than ten. I'd put bets on he's not more than five. How did Chip come about, exactly? (Do I even want to know?)
