Riot Women 🤨🌈❓ [1/?]

[detectivehole]

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.

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:

can’t get over the reveal scene in the restaurant

it was so well done, the acting was phenomenal but so was the writing

beth is listening stunned in silence and after she’s done kitty terrified asks, what are you thinking beth?

and the first thing out of her mouth is, how old were you?

and that’s when kitty starts to properly unravel, it’s her trauma, its saying it out loud and hearing the horror of it, it’s the adrenaline leading up to her confession, sick to her stomach afraid of what this will mean for them, this woman that has been so kind to her, who deserves so much, who she already has come to love in such a short space of time

but she also unravels because of that kindness, she knows she’s just launched a grenade into this woman’s world and her immediate reaction is concern for kitty, for what that confession means for kitty

oh and when beth asks, what happened and kitty sobs she can’t [talk about it] i got literal chills when beth’s voice goes low and quiet and she says, did someone hurt you?

i don’t know man, yes beth is kind and fierce but the way she says that, there’s something in her voice, i could easily believe she could, she would commit physical violence to protect kitty if she ever found out the whole truth

and then after when beth says she’s got some of his [tom’s] mannerisms and says, the way you smile, your eyes. the way your whole face lights up when you smile and kitty looks down for a moment you can see everything on her face, that this whole moment is too much, but also she looks like she is being gifted something, it looks like something settles within her, like beth’s kindness and care are mending something with that recognition

[helebing]

You've got an amazing voice. Can I get you a drink?

Riot Women: Kitty Eckersley x Beth Thornton

[fanchonmoreau]

Yvonne riot women autism girlie of my heart. Whole childhood felt like a joke she wasn’t in on. Has never heard of a filter in her life. Downloads a small encyclopedia of guitar information while bouncing on a yoga ball and proceeds to make it and the band her entire personality. Doesn’t occur to her that writing something unknown down in front of a woman in labor might upset that woman. Come look down the business end of your wife. Going to tell the whole band and also anyone in earshot you have diarrhea. As soon as the band experiences one (1) setback we have to shut it all down. Bless her. Get her a yoga ball of her own and a neurodivergent-friendly therapist and maybe she’ll calm down.
