Princess Protection Program
I'm
Nobody's gonna be winning any Oscars any time soon, but Demi Lovato and Selena were both perfectly charming in their as Rosie and Carter, respectively. I'd seen Demi/Selena rpfs pop up every once and while, and now I understand why! The two have really good chemistry together in this, and are highly enjoyable to watch on screen together.
Adorable, n'est-ce pas ?
Which naturally leads me to the gay. And gay there was! I mean, fuuuuuuuuu, this movie had the ending the ending that I wished Bitch Slap had.
Carter rocked the Lil' Butchy McFabulous vibe. Girl had swagger, and has the voice of 20s lounge singer. [chagrined]Sex-ay[/chagrined]. Seriously, I would have crushed on Carter so hard in High School ... and do now as well. Snark, swagga, whiskey honey voice, willingness to touch lizards and bugs and other gross things I wouldn't want to touch, plaid cut off vest, sexy pony tail, masked heroic adventures ... *swoon*. What's not to love? And just in case you were wondering, she also has an infectious laugh.
What ... um ... oh yes, where was I ... ah of course, the gay!
The Odd
I loved how completely smitten Rosie was with Carter from like the first moment they met. If I took a drink every time Rosie gazed softly and lovingly at Carter I would have had to have been taken to the hospital with alcohol poisoning. They were just utterly and completely adorable together. For example:
- Carter dumping ice-cream on that dilholes head to avenge Rosie
- Bonding on the swing over Rosie's ability to burp and their understanding that they're not so different after all
- Rosie's super fun, super helpful, super gay girl bonding lessons about what it means to be a princess
- And of course the "I hate you, no not like that, 'I hate you as in you're my best friend'" scene of incredible gayosity and cuteness
are just a few of the wonderful scenes between these two.
Rosie's earnestness and strength of character combined with Carter's abashed affection and dashing acts of bravery made them OTP level awesome for me.
Also, it warms my heart that in the end it wasn't a matter of neither of the girls getting boy, but of neither of the girls wanting the boy.
Granted we were
Also, I saw the Invention of Lying earlier on today and really enjoyed it. But seeing JGar and her crazy toned arms made me really miss Alias. *sigh* I've got to get my hands on some Alias episodes and revel in the nostalgia.
no subject
I loved that scene though, and I swooned a little bit when Carter fell against Rosie laughing, and they kind of snuggled.
Not gonna lie I thought it was cute. It was so gay even my niece thought the two girls were going to end up together.
I know, right! So gay. I mean it was practically canon.
