this is so good!!!!! it feels like an idea that was too ambitious for the original movie, and I love how it was expanded upon and breathed into life here. poor mulan's identity crisis is going insane, "she was always inspired by the men in her father's stories and wished she could do that as a girl" and I am eating it up" — Jul 30, 2026 11:09AM

“Denial is death. It takes away the reality of the oppressed people. It happens in families. Kids are abused, and the parents deny it happened. It makes the kids crazy. They develop screwed-up behavior. Psychologically speaking, they don't know who they are or whether they are coming or going. Only when there is ACKNOWLEDGMENT of what happened can healing begin. TRUTH is a great medicine (178).”

“No me llores, porque si lloras yo peno, en cambio si tu cantas yo siempre vivo, y nunca muero. Don’t mourn me, if you cry for me I grieve your pain, instead if you sing to me I’ll always live, and my spirit will never die. “LA MARTINIANA,” A MEXICAN FOLK SONG”
