Alternative names for fantasy “golems”?

Since it started as an inconsiderate name grab from Judaism that who’s most famous example was something built to fight against racists and prevent genocide into a mere monster.

While there are more dangerou golems, they were generally monstrous due to being overly literal or “what is life?” philosophy questions.

“Construct” in general is probably good. 

Maybe individual less generic names 

Puns based on golems are fine I feel to an extent.  And similar concepts aren’t inherently anti-Semitic, but you know…

From dwollsadvantures

Shabti? Or ushabti, ancient egyptian statues made to serve their master after death. Their legs are inscribed with affirmations of how they serve, sort of like a golem’s chem. They are religious, but a religion that hasn’t been really practiced for thousands of years

“Homunculus” (plural “Homunculi”) can mean “fake human”, “model of a human” (like an anatomy dummy), or “human shaped statue”, which feels appropriate for “magical object given a semblance of life”.

Kratt

Creature made of hay or tools animated by the devil in exchange for three drops of blood, from Estonian folklore.

They labor endlessly, but must be kept busy lest they turn on their creator. They fit the minion-of-an-evil-wizard role very well, and naturally fill that “magical robot” niche.

I love Vincent Price cuz that dude is always doing something fucked up. "Oh, I've lost my sculpting abilities, let me just coat people in wax to make statues" "Oh no, my wife is trying to kill me, let me fill a pool in our basement with acid and kill her first" "I'm a scientist now? Better scare the shit out of people to find out if they have bugs in their spines" "Now that I'm aged, let's hire a bunch of homeless people to kill off theatre critics who gave me bad reviews" He never misses. Every movie with him he's doing some fucked up shit and I never get tired of it. Yes Vincent coat that bitch in wax

emperor kuzco was clearly gay

[detectivehole]

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

[qqueenofhades]

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.

[flavinbagel]

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

Refugee Helper Phrase Book (English to Ukrainian, English to Russian)

Dear friends,

I created a phrasebook for those who work with Ukrainian refugees. Though we still are working on its layout and online version, here you can download printable PDFs of English to Ukrainian and English to Russian versions.

Eng - Ua

Eng-Ru

You'll find about 100 phrases and words that could be helpful in your work. All the words are arranged by topics, and withing one topic, phrases and words go in the alphabetical order. All the words and phrases in Ukrainian and Russian are written in Cyrillic characters and transliterated, so you don't have to know the languages to read those phrases.

Print the PDFs and fold them, so that you can carry the phrasebook in your pocket for quick references.

This is a work in progress. If you want to suggest me a phrase or a word for the book please feel free to contact me!
