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.

I know more about economics than AOC and my knowledge on economics is on a high school level. Its actually embarassing how little she knows about this shit. But hey, expecting a socialist to know about economics is like expecting a fish to know what a desert is.

Much of the ocean is a desert

You know what? Let’s use the allowance example again to make it even clearer.

Let’s pretend we have an allowance tax bracket with a 70% tax on money received after a certain point. To keep things simple, we’ll make the limit $90.

If a kid does chores and earns $10 in allowance, they get $10. They’re not going to be affected by the 70% tax.

If a kid does chores and earns $50, they get $50. They also aren’t in the 70% tax bracket, even though they make five times as much money as the kid making $10.

If a kid does chores and earns $100 in allowance, then they’re in the allowance tax bracket with the 70% tax.

$100 minus $90 is $10. This is the part that’s going to be taxed 70%.

70% of $10 is $7.

So the kid getting $100 in allowance will have $93 after the 70% tax takes its share.

Now, I’d never impose such a thing on actual kids. All of this is a thought exercise.

But if it were real, the kid making $10 and the kid making $50 would probably be kind of mad if the kid getting $93 was bitching about being short $7.

Also, can we talk about how taxes are used to pay for things for the benefit of society - roads, schools, libraries etc. so to further the above example, the parents aren’t just pocketing that money themselves just to be mean and selfish, they might use it to pay for a Netflix subscription that the whole family can watch.

THANK YOU for this I’ve had a vague understanding that I basically saw the value in and supported but now I really get it, especially with that last explanation

important reminder:

while (thankfully) trump doesn’t have the power to delay the election, the fact that he wants to should terrify every american to their core. there are two choices on the ballot this november: democracy and fascism. that’s it. that’s the choice. i don’t give a shit how you feel about biden. you have to vote for him anyway. vote blue down ballot. the constitution literally might not survive a second trump term.

if you don’t vote for biden, you are complicit in everything trump does going forward. a vote for a third party candidate is a vote for trump. a joke write-in is a vote for trump. staying home is a vote for trump. you have to vote for biden even if you don’t live in a swing state. we have to have a large enough margin of victory that it’s harder for trump to contest the results. you have to vote.

democracy or fascism. that’s the choice.

so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?

Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.

Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence. 

DONATE, PARTICULARLY TO MINNESOTA-BASED BLACK YOUTH MOVEMENTS / MUTUAL AID FUNDS WHO ARE DOING WORK ON THE GROUND. FOLLOW/BOOST IF YOU CAN’T.

if you are asexual, sex-repulsed or fearing, don’t enjoy sex or just complicated feelings around it…you DO NOT EVER owe your partner sex. If they guilt you, make you feel flawed, or go on about how hard it is being in a relationship with you, DUMP THEM. there is nothing wrong with you or your preferences. If your partner truly loves and respects you, they will respect your body and choices. Just because you are in a relationship you are Not obligated to give your body or owe anyone consent. That’s their problem, not yours

ao3: “here for you” rating: T warnings: “putting others first” spoilers!!, sympathetic deceit, sympathetic remus, platonic anxceit genre: hurt/comfort description: Virgil sees Deceit after the new video’s done. ( @sidespromptblog prompt: “Virgil just being like after the video:"I don’t like you, and we’re not friends. BUT… He made fun of your name, so I’m here for you.”“)

He hears it from his room and his heart sinks down to his toes, remembering the way Roman reacted to his name reveal, way back when. But this-

This is so much louder, twanging on his nerves like a handful of broken glass. He can feel Janus’s devastation from here, though he knows the deceitful side won’t show it. He hears Janus’s response, too, and while he thinks it’s a low blow, he can’t blame him, either.

Virgil quietly gets up and heads down the hallway, down the stairs. Remus doesn’t look up from his position, sprawled out on the beat-up couch, but Virgil can sense his surprise. Rightly so- Virgil hasn’t been down here since he left. He thought he would never be down here again.
