Look at me.
#the part where Cas tries not to look at Dean because he has ~orders~ #and also #the part where he fails#miserably #every time
What gets me about this moment is that Cas lets himself be turned around. If he didn’t want to be moved, Dean wouldn’t have been able to move him. We were shown that imbalance of physical power when Dean punched him (and other angels), and when Cas turned that power on Dean in 5x18. It should have been like the difference between handling a meteorite and handling a rock of the same size from Earth. But this meteorite let himself be moved by this human being. Because he was already lost. He was already veering down. He knew that he was getting to close to Earth. He knew that he was going to crash. The others tried to correct his course. And the reason he chose in that moment to commit to his fall is the same as why he had been moved at all. This human, here—this human who couldn’t move him by force if his life depended on it; this human who had nothing but the honesty of what he was saying; this human saying something that, in all of Castiel’s experience in seeing the universe form, he had never heard before, never felt was tangible, never believed was real—this human who ended up moving him as all the forces of Heaven combined and all the will of God could not.
I always saw Cas in Season 4 as not a changing character in the content of his emotions, but in the understanding and acceptance of them as real and meaningful and even essential, and—ultimately—in his commitment to them. I don’t know what transpired between them in Hell when Castiel saved him, but I believe that this all started before we ever met Cas on screen. This two-hearted journey that neither expected to have as much movement as it does, as much range of feeling and depth of investment. Only one day they’re here, on the edge of the end of the world, and it’s as easy to turn Cas around as to turn over a rock born of Earth, and neither one questions it because this is how far they’ve come now, and this is the touch from which they can go anywhere at all.

i’ve figured one thing out about this world.
just one, pretty much: you find a cause, and you serve it.

I’m reblogging it as text since the text behind photosets doesn’t show up on my mainpage, but they didn’t really add much to the below except for context, which is that another Disney blog participated in racism denial/excuses when it comes to the Disney movie Peter Pan.
So… this happened.
And I really feel the need to comment on it. Because in a way, I kind of spurred it.
Disneyydreams posted something inviting people to send her “disney confessions” anonymously. I was bored, so I sent one in.
I would screencap that for you, but it appears she has deleted it already. What I said was basically that, despite the portrayal being completely racist, I have loved Peter Pan since I was old enough to have favorites because the Native American tribe featured in the movie was the only Native American portrayal in media that I had to identify with. Obviously this was before Pocahontas was released.
Her response was (again, I’m paraphrasing because she deleted the post) something along the lines of “I hope you know that Disney wasn’t intentionally being racist. It’s just what they found funny back then, like with the mammy figures.” She also vaguely mentioned Sunflower in Fantasia.
Understandably to anyone who knows anything about anything, I was a little bit offended by this. So, I wrote the response seen in the first image…. and that is how she replied.
To refresh your memory, go ahead and watch the song in question.
The fact that racist and derrogatory language was used throughout the film, and was not limited to the one scene the tribe was in, is apparently lost on disneydreams.
I feel like there are two different ways to analyze the portrayal of Native Americans in Peter Pan: through the animation and through the lyrics and words.
long but worth the read, a very thorough review of racism in the movie and the screen shots are very illuminating- whenever I critique that aspect of peter pan I just re-watch the song since it’s more than enough to prove a point of racial stereotyping, so I actually found the screen shots rather shocking becuase I forgot just how offensive the entire thing was.
