you know what dad? maybe i don’t wanna be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned. it’s a lot of pressure to put on me and honestly i’ve been feeling stressed recently because of it

My favorite ship dynamic is "they're both extremely stupid in completely different ways and extremely smart in completely different ways, but rarely is any of that useful because they just get extra double stupid when together"

I love disney films, don’t get me wrong but hate them as a corporation and it’s so fucking funny to me seeing the response to encanto and how disney’s weirdness about luisa has affected them

because isabela is the stereotypical pretty ‘perfect’ character, they expected her to be very popular with little girls. but she wasn’t as popular with them or kids in general even nearly to the extent they thought she would be: the isabela merch isn’t selling much and the demand for luisa merch is extremely high because kids regardless of gender seem to adore her

bc of misogyny and gender stereotypes, they didn’t expect kids to like the strong muscly lady but boy were they wrong. and I’m so glad the kids showed the mouse right up on their bullshit lmfao

It also shows a deep lack of faith in their target audience to actually understand the story they're telling. Because, like. My kiddo is 9, she's exactly the demographic they're going for, she's obsessed with Encanto and she adores Isabela. Listens to and/or sings her song at least five times a day (I counted.)

Thing is, the Isabela she adores? Looks like this:

And all the Isabela merch I've found looks like this:

Disney really made a whole song about deconstructing the perfect princess trope, about how restrictive it is to have to be perfect and pretty and decorative all the time, about breaking free and finding joy and becoming your true self, then made a shocked pikachu face when little kids weren't interested in a doll that threw all that away and went back to the quietly-miserable pretty-princess version of the character.
