Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure

So… I missed a few Fridays, but I’m still going to try for a weekly schedule. So sorry. This character is Gabe McDonnell. As described by his creator “he’s laid back, open minded and a helpful individual, but sometimes he just wants to be alone for various reasons.” His mother is dating a sleezeball boyfriend. He and his best friend AJ Maye are the first to find Sev. The face claim for this character is based on #tannerbuchanan while the character’s body type is based on the Archie cartoon of the 70s. He’s kind of the Mike Wheeler in terms of being the leader, but also shares that role with Tara in bonding with Sev. #strangerthings #sevenchronicles #seven #chronicles #gabemcdonnell #gabe #mcdonnell #greaser #1970s #1976 #fanfic #stranger #things https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnmG2TDl_Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This is another one of the characters that I made over the Spring semester at school. Funny how I’m posting this character during Pride Month His name is Harley Barr, but his drag queen name is Bunny Shademoore. He’s a poledancer at a gay club as a means of making money at least until his band gets off the ground. Got street smarts and confidence to mask his vagueness and jumpy nerves towards most people. He grew up relatively well-off in New York City and was fascinated by the drag scene there. It made him feel confident when his interests and androgynous appearance got him bullied at school. Despite his rather sexual occupation, he is asexual. However, being 1976, it wouldn’t be common at the time and so most would assume he’s gay. As of this post, he’s only appeared in one chapter so far: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13948989/2/ Hopefully more to come as he could help the teens with his skills, loyalty, and being comfortable with gender being malleable. #sevenchronicles #strangerthings #Harleybarr #harley #barr #bunnyshademoore #bunny #shademoore #dragqueen #1976 #1970s #asexual #confident #loyal #androgynous https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUc-bjFkcC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Review: Freaky Friday (2003)
Rating: 8.0 of 10
Today, we’ll talk about modern day classic, Freaky Friday (and ain’t nobody going to convince me that it’s not!) which I happened to rewatch on a lazy day. I was surprised, and I realized I shouldn’t have been, at how well it held up. Okay, it’s not groundbreaking by any means. I gave it a score of 8, which means it’s firmly in the “good” category but not particularly great--but that doesn’t mean it’s not awesome or entertaining, especially for a family-friendly comedy that it is.
The story was about mother (Tess, played by Jamie Lee Curtis) and daughter (Anna, played by Lindsay Lohan) who had their bodies swapped for a day because of a spell. So on a fated Friday before Tess’ wedding, Anna literally walked in her mother’s shoes and vice versa. Naturally, all interesting things happen.
The charm of Freaky Friday was a nebulous one: basic premise is novel but simple and plot is predictable, but the execution is top-notch and it’s funny as hell. Most of it, I think, boils down to great casting. Jamie Lee Curtis had a hint of rebelliousness in her that it didn’t seem jarring when Anna (in Tess’ body) had her ears pierced and then rolls off with a motorcycle; and Lindsay Lohan actually acted reliably as an overly-responsible mother.
Freaky Friday, I think, was also great at treating its characters like a human being. The movie, as with most family movies, showed to great lengths at how the fight between Tess and Anna was basically because of misunderstanding, and there’s a scene that I really, really like. It was when Jake (Chad Michael Murray), that Anna had a huge crush on, actually offered Anna (while being herself) a ride home on his motorcycle, and she refused. It was established that she’s a rebel and she even considered not going to her mother’s rehearsal dinner for a band audition, but that scene alone showed us that she loved her mother and actually cared about what she thinks. The little brother was cute as the comic-relief type, but in a way that didn’t diminish his intelligence as a character. Ryan (Mark Harmon) was also a great, albeit under-appreciated, character as the considerate future-stepfather.
If there’s anything I’m not completely on board with, is the Jake/Anna-as-Tess subplot. Not so much about how it looks and the apparent age difference (I couldn’t care less), but about how fast he moved-on from apparent-Tess to actual-Anna that maybe happened in less than 12 hours. Apart from that, it was all great.
TL;DR Freaky Friday is an infinitely watchable family movie that worked better than the sum of its parts.
The food of the gods, 1976.
