How do I tell y'all that this is in my mind Stanley Pines

emperor kuzco was clearly gay

hes 19, with unlimited power, and he ain’t got a gf. the only time we see him interact with any women his own age is when he’s rejecting like 7 of them rapid fire. he pretends to date pacha in a gag that lasts like 10 solid minutes. listen to me god damnit

Okay, but just in case anyone is coming to tumblr dot com for my hot takes on 20+ year old kids' movies: Kuzco super WAS gay (or at least coded as such) and of course, I didn't get it until I watched it as a gay grownup.

He is played obviously camp and dramatic, for a start, and there is the aforementioned "hate your hair/not likely/yikes yikes yikes/let me guess you have a great personality" summary dismissal of all his potential brides. Then he spends dinner asking Yzma about Kronk ("so he seems nice? He's what, in his late twenties?") and otherwise being slightly obsessed with him.

Then there is the whole Adventure of Doom with Pacha, him being ever huffy about the Kiss of Life, and then the restaurant gag where Kuzco takes to playing Pacha's fake wife and dressing up in ladies' clothing with great gusto (reinforced by the waitress' "bless you for coming out in public" remark when Pacha says they're on their honeymoon). Then when he is finally de-llamafied, we don't see him paired off with the obligatory girl from the lineup earlier, as might otherwise be expected in a Disney movie. Instead he is still single, but goes to found family it up with Pacha, Chica, Kronk, etc, which dare we remark is a very queer trope.

In short, I have no idea how a Disney movie with no white people (all the characters are Indigenous/people of color), a gay king, cross-dressing jokes, and the most offbeat plot of all time actually ever got made (can you imagine the Family Friendly Mouse doing that today? Let us also talk about Kronk because he is a brilliant deconstruction of both toxic masculinity and the musclebound henchman stereotype.) Other than that this was the Chaos Hour of animated movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, and yes.

So yes. There you have it. I will not be taking criticism at this time.

In response to the question “How did a movie like this get made at all much less by fucking Disney?” there was a recent Vulture article that outlines the whole shit show of a history behind this film according to everyone (writers, directors, VAs, Stings) involved. The gist of the story is that they fucked up making a whole, true-to-form Disney musical that never came to see the light of day SO BADLY that Disney switched directors, locked the writer’s room, and didn’t review a single script until weeks after the film was in theaters.

Please, read this article if you have some time. This story is wild, and involves directors being pitted against each other Bake-Off style and a shockingly intimate documentary created by the wife of Sting who, himself was heartbroken by the decimation of the songs he wrote for the film including cutting a fantastic Yzma villain song sung by Eartha Kitt that is SO DAMN GOOD but would not ever have fit the more nailed-down Yzma we would eventually come to know and love. It’s so catchy though, I’m doubling up on calls to action but please listen now:

holy shit read the article. it’s worth it and completely batshit

This is fucking insane

I've never adequately appreciated the batshit brilliance of this joke, I've taken it for granted

We watched this with the FC literally last night so I'm delighted to reblog this again. What a fucking movie.

Just said to @petermorwood last night, "I'd say it's time for a rewatch." Gonna do that right now. (If I have to sit here doing this Mailchimp crap, at least I can have Yzma yelling "Why do we even have this lever?!" in the background.

Remember that time that Trudie Styler was allowed to make a Making Of Documentary about Kingdom of the Sun/Emperor's New Groove because her husband (Sting) was hired to do the music and this was part of his contract, but the doc showed how much of a disaster the making of this movie was so Disney refused to release it but then it got leaked on the internet and now the internet archive has it?

Uni's magical Mario Galaxy adventure..

this genuinely made me so happy

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

Warning: screaming. Lots of it.

Hi. Are you a fan of werewolves?

Lady werewolves?

Do you like horror that’s thrilling but not actually scary? Do you miss horror with creative practical effects, prosthetics & puppetry, instead of overly used CGI?

Do you like romance? Drama? Comedy? Do you enjoy stories that center found family? With the central theme of allowing yourself to take the risk of fully committing to loving and being loved, even when you’re terrified your own demons might hurt those closest to you?

Do you ever fantasize about a bearded, plus sized DILF who will comfort you, wash the blood out of your hair, and stand by your side no matter what? Even after you try to eat him?

THEN BOY, DO I HAVE THE SHOW FOR YOU!

Please stream Wolf Like Me on Peacock, literally nobody knows about this show and I WISH it had a fandom, it is SO good, so well acted and so well written, the soundtrack absolutely SMACKS, and I would die if it didn’t have enough viewership to continue. I am begging you to watch this beautiful show. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Not my usual post but I am absolutely in LOVE with this show, and I wanted to add how refreshing it is to see a story with a fat romantic leading man where his weight is completely unmentioned! shows like this deserve our support.

t4t gomez and morticia addams is really funny because you know that gomez would be fully pregnant, a child 90% baked and subsequently his body 90% belly, and he'd be like, excuse me. i have to backflip real quick

gomez addams SO pregnant cheerfully scaling the side of the house during a thunderstorm bc he accidentally threw a frisbee on the roof

a neighbour like "um???? arent you going to say something?"

and morticia like, "oh, do you think i should?" and calling up how good he looks
