Twelve days and over 200,000 virtual signatures later (including Cinderella Ate My Daughterauthor Peggy Ornstein and Snow White and the Huntsman actress Lily Cole) reports started to surface that the Disney Store had quietly taken down all banner images of the thinner, more glamorous Merida, and replaced them with the familiar freckled-face and wild-haired version that we got to know in the film. And petitioners were clear that they wanted it to remain that way.
Okay, guys, now that we’ve fixed the whole “Sexed Up Princess Merida” thing (and congrats on that, everyone), is it too late to get to work on the fact that Mulan’s canonical “princess” outfit is STILL her “being dragged unwittingly to the matchmaker” outfit? the outfit in which she sings her whole Want Song about playing a socially constructed role vs. letting down her family? Like, I get that that movie came out in 1998 and that Reddit and Tumblr literally did not exist for us to complain about it and band together, but can we just retroactively get on that?
Mulan getting put into and subsequently shedding the matchmaker costume is kind of a big thematic thing in the movie; the same has been said recently for the frizz in Merida’s hair, or her freckles, or her figure, etc etc. Messing up the matchmaker deal is the start of Mulan’s personal journey in which she learns that she’s kind of an outsider when roleplaying either as woman or as a man, but feels most as home (and gets the most shit done) when she acts as comes naturally to her. So it’s still WAY depressing that the goddamned MATCHMAKER OUTFIT is the official Disneyland Costume Person outfit for Mulan.
We’ve got years of backlogged pre-Tumblr outrage to get out of our system, people. Let’s charge!
If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.
From top to bottom:
Inara Runtule, 68, Kekava, Latvia. Silke (herring with potatoes and cottage cheese).
Grace Estibero, 82, Mumbai, India. Chicken vindaloo.Susann Soresen, 81, Homer, Alaska. Moose steak.
Serette Charles, 63, Saint-Jean du Sud, Haiti. Lambi in creole sauce.
The photographer’s grandmother Marisa Batini, 80, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Swiss chard and ricotta Ravioli with meat sauce.
Normita Sambu Arap, 65, Oltepessi (Masaai Mara), Kenya. Mboga and orgali (white corn polenta with vegetables and goat).
Julia Enaigua, 71, La Paz, Bolivia. Queso Humacha (vegetables and fresh cheese soup).
Fifi Makhmer, 62, Cairo, Egypt. Kuoshry (pasta, rice and legumes pie).
Isolina Perez De Vargas, 83, Mendoza, Argentina. Asado criollo (mixed meats barbecue).
Bisrat Melake, 60, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjera with curry and vegetables.
Happy mother’s day, all. Everybody hug your grandmas.

— Iron Man doing a striptease in his removable suit (x)ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
I DEMAND THIS TO BE A THING
This was clearly just an excuse for someone to put a male stripper in a motion capture suit.
“He’s charming. He serenades me. With a banjo!”
“He’s a CRUSTACEAN.”
“So I always wear strange green outfits. We all have our things, our weird things.”

“The Serenade” by B. Wennerberg, 1914
That’s really not that impressive because banjos are tuned to a chord anyway, so his left claw is basically just acting as a guitar slide and his right claw is a giant plectrum. Anything with no fingers and an exoskeleton could still passably play the banjo.
NOT IMPRESSED, LOBSTER.
I also worry that he’s straight up going to puncture the drum head if he holds his claw like that, and then she’s going to have to replace it because he probably can’t grip a damn screwdriver.
I HAVE PROBLEMS, WITH THIS PICTURE AND ALSO JUST OTHERWISE.
I AM AN EFF-BEE-EYE AGENT!!!
EMOTIONS!
Damn you man, I’m not going to be able to rest until I watch this movie again
This mostly makes me want to watch Hot Fuzz.
