#disney do better

[bardcoven]

nah it’s forever gonna piss me off that disney, the company that canceled the owl house, is inevitably going to use lumity (and possibly raeda) as their rainbow capitalism this pride month

i mean they’ve already used lumity before in their “omg who’s YOUR favorite disney channel couple???? let us know by commenting and boosting our engagement!!! here’s our favorite luzity moments!!!” (yes, they called them luzity at one point for the uninitiated. and yes, people clowned on em for it. including me.)

they make their creators fight for the representation, promptly fuck the creators over, and then turn around and flaunt it all as if the company itself was doing the service, and not the people in the actual community fighting just to be seen for once.

the owl house deserved better. everyone who fought for that rep, especially dana, deserves better.

Letter to Disney from a lesbian long-time fan

Disney, be bold and give us a lesbian disney princess. You have no idea how some dream of it. I get that you don't want to loose China and your conservative clientele, but, think, you will gain the tremendous respect of those that grew up with you, around the world. And those conservatives will live...They'll have your old catalog to fall back on. Think of the children that will grow knowing that the Disney reverie is not just for boys and girls in a couple...but for everyone.

I am still humming "I bring you a song" to this day, so imagine what joy you will bring us, Disney, if you extend that tradition of love songs you made from Snow-White and beyond...to all of that small world you sing about.

My personnal Review of Wish (2023)

(Spoilers, obviously)

•Spending ⅔ of the movie singing is not what I consider a plot.

•yet another Quirky Disney Heroine™

•"Hey! Hey! Look! Did you get that reference? Hey! this is a reference to an older Disney movie! Did you see it? HEY! DID YOU GET IT?!"

•Why does that animation look half baked? Even the Amazing Digital Circus episode that came out this year look smoother and way more polished, and it's from an independent studio, not a BILLION dollars company.

•That cartoonishly evil villain gatekeeping wishes and sucking hope out of everyone is ironically a good personification of current Disney.

So I'm on facebook and the usual posts flash me by celebrating Father's Day, and then Disney's does. Only... I mean, why do they have Prince Eric down as a fur baby dad? Yes. I know he has a dog who he loves but. I mean. Hes also an actual dad. To Melody. His daughter. Who exists in canon Disney little mermaid lore.

Did they just retcon Melody?

I hate how people are saying “but it’s accurate to the comics.” Clearly you guys have not seen the recent comics of she-hulk.

Did They not learn from Luisa from encanto and lady dimitrescu??? Marvel and Disney need to do better.

Disney Say Gay Pt 3

Quite possibly the final installment of Parts 1 and 2. I have enjoyed creating these simple gay works of Disney and as much as i wish i could do more, i currently don’t have any more ideas left in me. All i have are bits and pieces of possibilities that have not come together. So in the potential completion of my Disney Say Gay series, i would like to leave you guys with my final pieces of work.

Pleakley is showing off his new look and thinks it’s amazing. It’s not that Camilo disagrees, in fact he thinks it is fantastic. He’s just a little bit bitter that Pleakley got to it before he did. And he knows for a fact that he could rock the flower better than Pleakley could! A lot of people easily read Camilo as genderfluid/non-binary/not cis and i wanted to play off of that by pairing him with Disney’s most obvious genderfluid character Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch. As usual i have not drawn either of them and Camilo is very much a work in progress. I decided to color his outfit a bit differently, playing off him being genderfluid here by using the deminonbinary colors to reflect how he might be representing at this particular time.

Eugene only had one other wholesome relationship before Rapunzel, and that was when he and Aladdin teamed up to survive the streets and discover their feelings for each other along the way. As opposed to my first attempt at drawing Eugene in Part 1 where i used both Tangled and Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure as references, i specifically focused on the latter to draw him this time. One of my friends came up with the idea of pairing Eugene and Aladdin together; originally when i started this series and trying to brainstorm ideas one of their first suggestions was Aladdin as ace just out of pure curiosity. I ended up playing off of that idea, in a way going the opposite route of how i did Eugene and Naveen. That if the two of them were these charismatic, flirtatious, smooth characters playing off of each other like that then Eugene and Aladdin would in a way be opposite of that. Both of them are thieves who had been focusing on just trying to make it and weren’t necessarily looking for anything. It just so happened that they shared something and relied on more than just their manuevers to survive. Needless to say, my friend claimed that after seeing this they could not unsee Aladdin as ace now.

Alberto claims that there’s absolutely nothing going on between him and Luca, that they’re just friends. But Priya can see through his crap a mile away and doesn’t have time for his games or denial. She knows gay when she sees it. After watching Turning Red for the first time and especially upon learning that Priya is canonically queer i knew i had to figure out a way to incorporate her. I toyed with a couple of ideas of who to pair her with and i kept asking myself, what about Luca? i have to use someone from that movie. So this became my first, and i believe only, drawing to be specifically Pixar. It was definitely a challenge because although there were a couple of references of Alberto in a more traditional 2d style the same could not be said for Priya. I can’t say i’m completely thrilled with how this came out but i knew i had to give it a try. Needless to say i have learned my lesson and will stick with traditional 2d characters to draw. i opted to use the queer chevron flag as the background. While i toyed with the idea of recoloring Priya in maybe bi colors, i don’t believe anything was confirmed that she was specifically by (although i think that is the popular headcannon?). However the team does admit that Priya is queer. Alberto is, here, probably either questioning or discovering his sexuality but just not quite ready to fully admit that there are more-than-platonic feelings there for Luca. Regardless of the specific label we use, queer is a universal umbrella term and completely acceptable without the need to explain how we specifically identify. And while not everyone has reclaimed the word to use for themselves, it’s still very valid and the Q exists in LGBTQIA for a reason. And i wanted to be able to acknowledge that, especially as someone who uses queer for themself.

Moana and Ariel are finally having their first date. Moana’s having a great time and definitely being on the flirty side. Although it seems to be going just a little bit over Ariel’s head and maybe she’s still kind of in disbelief that she is going out with this incredible girl. From the time i started this i knew i wanted to pair Ariel and Moana together. I love the idea and the possibilities with them (yes i absolutely would love to write them together if i could). My first attempt, however, it was probably my second drawing i tried, it came out HORRIBLE. And i was just, ok i can’t draw Moana to save my life. But i couldn’t let this idea go. And i finally started searching and searching for 2d versions of Moana and then references for Ariel that could be a believable interaction between them. This was the longest of the drawings i worked on, probably in bits and pieces over the course of a week. So it was done very late for Lesbian Visibility Day but it had to be done. The beads on Moana’s necklace are colored to represent the bi flag, which are also a nod to Auli’i Cravahlo. For Ariel i used the colors of the universal lesbian pride flag, it was just a matter of whether the dress remained pink of changed to orange. I thought an orange flower in her hair would blend in too much and her typical pink dress felt way too obvious. The flag i used in the background, to avoid repeating the obvious multiple times, is the sappho-inspired flag.

I have thoroughly enjoyed myself putting these queer Disney drawings together. It’s given me the chance to draw some Disney characters for the first time that i never would have thought to do or have even tried to do. To think outside the box, come up with multiple different headcannons and pairings, to take the suggestions a few people have been able to throw at me and give people a chance to actually see themselves in these has been amazing. And i would love to continue this series if i could. And maybe down the line, if i could come up with other ideas or maybe see the vague ideas through, it’s a possibility. That being said if anyone does have any ideas or suggestions that they wanna see - for characters, headcannons, or identities - i would love the opportunity to try to bring them to life. Thank you to anyone who liked these. And to Disney: i love you. I will always love things Disney. But you screwed up. I see you trying to make progress and i hope you continue to try. Please continue the steps to right the wrongs. Create representation. See us. Support us. Protect us. You have every opportunity to do that. #DisneyDoBetter and please, from this day forward and always, #DisneySayGay.

I'm excited to see the little mermaid. I think Halle is great! But I do wish disney would put more effort into writing stories that were written specifically for people of color instead of doing a half ass job and using their old stories. They've definitely gotten lazier this last bit.

You know, it would be amazing if Hollywood learned the right lesson from the success of Nimona. Something like "Hey, maybe don't throw out a nearly done movie as a tax write off" or "people want queer stories" or even "don't be afraid to take some storytelling risks and be original" but you just know they're going to come away with some absolutely batshit takeaway like, "next time delete all the evidence and burn it to the ground so the gays can't make us look bad!"

#sorry to be cynical on main but all I can think of is instead of watching this and being like wow we made a huge mistake here #disney is just going to be mad because of how foolish this made them look #bc corporate america always learns exactly the wrong lesson #honestly hope I'm wrong and this humbles them and they do better #but also I am a realist #anyway go nimona kick 'em in chip and dale's nuts #nimona #nd stevenson #netflix #disney #oscar nominations #oscar nominee #hollywood

Im sick of people trashing the 'damsel in distress. That simply means a girl who can't save herself. If you want to write a story about a girl who saves the day do so, but don't stomp on those who can't help themselves that's not what heroes do.

i’m so sick of writers who proudly proclaim that they don’t read and directors and actors and other filmmakers who smugly say that they rarely watch movies or any artist who acts like an audience is stupid for connecting with their work like what the fuck is wrong with you that you hold such contempt such derision for the art that you have chosen to make the art that so many people dream of the opportunity to make the art that brings meaning and connection to people’s lives it’s unbelievably disrespectful to both your audience and the art-form and if you can’t muster basic respect for either your art-form or your audience then kindly fuck off and do something else

#i hate how rare it is to have an actor be like ‘yeah i just really love movies and going to the movies it’s the best i love what i do’ #to the point where when an actor or director IS like that people are like ‘wow what a freak…they’re faking it for attention’ like!! no!! #that’s what it’s SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE!! you WANT creators who are obsessed with their medium!!! #and what gets me about the people who don’t feel that way is the clear Pride they feel like they’re Better for not caring #that uk ya author adapting the odyssey and admitting that they’ve never read the odyssey or the iliad #that writer on twitter saying that telling writers to read is ableist #the russo brothers saying that the theatrical experience is elitist and auteurism should bow to the disney/netflix model #christain bale and any number of other actors who proudly announce that they don’t watch movies #sam levinson who talks about tv like it’s a long movie because he can’t hack it as a filmmaker like his dad but he doesn’t actually LIKE tv #like i get not wanting to consume your own work after it’s released unless it’s for research or self reflection purposes #but you do not exist or create in a vacuum and it’s SO disrespectful and arrogant to act like you do
