It did hit hard at times. Damn. 😭😭😭

I give it, like, a 9.5/10, because it used to be 8.5, but it wouldn't make sense if it was 8.5/10 for me but also 5/5. So, I bumped it up a little. Because the movie was really good!

Guys, listen, I IMPLORE YOU, DON'T TAKE YOUR FUCKING KIDS TO SEE THIS MOVIE. There were babies crying, which is OK because it's normal, but there were kids talking before the movie when we were just trying to settle down, and a whole array of other things, so DON'T take your kids. They're annoying, and besides, this may be marketed towards children of all ages, but Riley's thirteen and a girl. We all know who this is really for. And if you don't, PLEASE try to infer.

Anyway, as for the movie actually, it was really great in the way that it kept me engaged and had me reeling on whose team I should be. Like, the human sides, I mean. I obviously was on Team Joy with this one because ain't no WAY Anxiety just hijacked everything, but it's true to life, isn't it?

THEY FUCKING REVAMPED THE INSIDE OUT THEME, THEY PLAYED IT AT THE BEGINNING AND I WAS LIKE "NOOOOOOOOO, THIS MOVIE'S GONNA BREAK ME BRO." It didn't, I cried less than the first movie, but maybe that's because I was tired. I DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL.

Anyway, it was great seeing the og emotions again! It felt like it was just yesterday we saw the first movie. Because for me, it was. We rewatched the first one yesterday so I could remember the plot and events of the first one. And the new emotions! How were they now that I waited MONTHS for this movie to come out?

They were kinda fun!

Anxiety was being...Anxiety, Ennui was really fun in a bland way, like, "go on, girl, give us nothing!" I really did relate when Sadness took her phone and she freaked the fuck out. It was really funny.

Embarrassment! THE ENTIRE REASON I CAME TO SEE THIS MOVIE. I have to admit, he was the GOAT. Cause, like, I KNEW that he was going to be the first one to disagree with Anxiety's plan. He's just so cute. AND I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN HE ACTUALLY SPOKE! I couldn't hear it clearly, but it was so awkward and cute, and I found relief in the fact that Paul Walter Hauser (his VA) changed his voice to fit the role.

The thing is friends, like I said, Embarrassment is the reason I came to see this movie. Why? His VA. WHY??? IT'S THE SAME ONE AS DARK'S FROM ORION AND THE DARK! So I said, "OMG, WHAT?!?! I HAVE to watch this movie now." "Thank you, Orion and the Dark," we all said in unison.

Envy! She was a little cutie, if not a literal dictator along with Anxiety, lol. I thought the movie would move along and give us more reasons to keep shipping the ships that many people (or I assume many people) already shipped, such as Embarrassment and Envy, and Anxiety and Ennui. But surprisingly, it didn't. I like that because it gives the movie itself more of a boost when it doesn't focus as much on the relationships between the characters. If anything, I actually think it may have created new ships with the bonds we have gotten to see, such as Anxiety and Fear, and Anxiety and Envy. I can't be the only one who thought they were a little gay.

BY THE WAY, FEAR REALLY SAID, "I know she's kinda crazy, but I think I can fix her," OR SOMETHING SIMILAR ABOUT ANXIETY, BRO. I WILL NEVERRRRRRR LET HIM LIVE THAT ONE DOWN. My guy, WHAT THE F U C K.

Nah, it was just really funny. Like, sure bruh, you do you, but I don't think you can fix her bruh. Shoot your shot, though.

Anyways, THE LESBIAN QUEENS STAY WINNING, YOU GUYS. The first movie was meant to mend their relationship into a friendship and establish that all of the emotions should be felt because it's natural. BUT THE SECOND MOVIE IS STRAIGHT UP SHIPPING PARADISE, BABY! Joy and Sadness, if you didn't get who I was talking about, are SO MUCH MORE CLEARLY IN LOVE in this movie. YOU SHOULD HAVE FUCKING SEEN THE SCENE WHERE JOY GOES TO SHOW SADNESS THE BELIEF SYSTEM AND SHE SAYS "Wherever you go, I go." WHAT RHE FUCK WAS THAT, OMG, I COULD'VE CRIED, THEY ARE SUCH LESBIANS. AND THEN THEY HELD HANDS SO FUCKING GINGERLY, LIKE, YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE IMMEDIATE WAY THEY TOOK EACH OTHER'S HANDS AND JUST...AHSBRJCJFNCJFNFKFKCNFJX.

Like, sure, some of you may argue, "but what if it was just a friendly hand hold? You know, like girls can have sometimes?" Like, I know that, but IF IT WERE A FRIENDLY HAND HOLD, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER SO FONDLY! THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER SO SWEETLY, SO ROMANTICALLY, RAHHHHHHHH!

AND THE WAY THAT THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE EACH OTHER WHEN JOY, ANGER, DISGUST, AND FEAR FINALLY GOT BACK TO HEADQUARTERS, BRO AHRBDJTNFINRJFJRJDNFIF. THEY LITERALLY SAID, "Joy!" "Sadness!" THAT WAS THE FIRST FUCKING THING THEY NOTICED. THEY JUST WENT STRAIGHT TOWARDS EACH OTHER IN WORRY. AHDURBUXBRIXBDIXBRIZJD.

Y'all, that's on PRIDE MONTH too, don't forget. They meant to say something here.

Like, that, and paired with the fact that Riley was depicted so GAYLY in this movie, like, I think it was deliberate. Cause, like, you could say that Riley was just fangirling over her favorite hockey player, but ONE DOES NOT JUST KNOW AND RESEARCH EVERYTHING ABOUT HER. Do they? I've never really had someone I did that for. BUT STILL BRUH. That interaction was so queer-coded, bro.

WAIT! I was about to end this already, but I HAD to say it.

In the scene where we see the emotions' sleeping quarters (really cute and fitting designs for each, by the way), you can see on Joy's nightstand THAT SHE HAS A LITTLE CRAFT TOY THINGAMAJIG WHATEVER OF BING BONG ON THE STANDS, BRO. Look at the scene more closely, and you'll see it. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Anyways, that was it. I have nothing else to rant about, and now, I will proceed to have Inside Out brainrot and make a bunch of stuff, so expect romantic headcanons, like, tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
