it’s been days and I’m STILL not over julien just fucking YOINKING occtis and carrying him to (assumed) safety

not only because matt and alex were fucking HILARIOUS

but also because it was BRENNAN’S GODDAMN IDEA

‘do you just wanna pick up occtis?’ BRENNAN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING 🤣

twinstxrs

so fucking funny that the squad for the tachonis combat death mansion both makes complete narrative sense and is also made up of 4 pcs who have either made use of desperate measures (teor & thimble), taken a subclass that specifically requires them to be injured (julien), or taken both a feat and a spell that require self injury (occtis). it’s just 4 people with life risking tendencies in a group together getting scared for and mad at the other people in the group when they are exhibiting life risking tendencies. the hypocrite brigade <3

troldengel

sir teor pridesire and the "unknown integer" he's sworn to protect

luinen-bluewater

my take on that scene

rann-poisoncage

"please, I had so much dignity."

I am still working on getting the OcctisAlex screenshots for Campaign 4 Episodes 1, 2 and 3 btw. I don't have a lot of time to go back and rewatch the initial episodes but I am trying the squeeze in bits here and there. With some luck, the next time there is a break in the C4 schedule, I can try to knock out a whole episode. I'm just obviously prioritizing getting the newer episodes out. I'm about a 1/3 of the way into episode 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

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:
