Disney AU: During a dance performance, Esmeralda is intrigued by a young woman in the audience - who’s actually the sultan’s daughter in disguise. Esmeralda vows to win the heart of the princess. (more gay disney)
Noticed that some reposts of my old mermaid GIFs are making their rounds again and I finally decided to give in and make a master post of my own (originally they could be found separately or in this video).
PS: And I want to give a big THANK YOU to everybody who are tagging me under all the re-posts. You guys are the best! <3<3<3
I already started animating Rey too, but I’m not sure if I can finish it before everything gets stressful, besides it’s a bit spoiler-y so I would hold it back for some time anyway.
Edit: The Rey one ended up being a fight scene, you can see it here
My finished hand-painted animation cel (and digital mockup) for the Ron & John Disney show over at @gallerynucleus – Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet! There you go, pure poetry. 😼
Boy had all of movie history to support taking that failed proposal and making it an awkward pity party about him, and instead he first was like “It’s okay, we’re just not at the same place yet, we still love each other” and then followed it up with an apology and a promise to stick with her until he understands her life struggles. THIS IS LOVE.
The first gay Disney character is literally named The Fool
He’s unrequitedly in love with a straight man
A straight man who bullies and abuses him
Le Fou will 99% likely NOT get a happy ending
He’s being played by someone known to be straight
His sexuality is basically a joke
His sexuality is likely to be the butt of a joke the entire movie
We already know the character will be the butt of the joke even if his sexuality itself isn’t
His entire role in the movie is to be evil and stupid comic relief and boost Gaston’s self-esteem
He’s described as “confused”
Queercoding villains and Disney go together like peanut butter and jelly
Disney is patting itself on the back for all of this
His character description is stereotypical
Le Fou being gay for Gaston is already something of a cultural joke
He’s barely in the movie
He’s the only gay person in a love story, he will end up alone and evil
People have been saying how you could improve the story by making it gay for years and of all the ideas this is the worst possible option for picking a gay character
We coulda had lesbian Beast
Kids will have this as their first gay Disney character
For some kids this will be their first gay character period
It will be their ONLY gay Disney character
They chose to make a shot for shot remake of the animated movie with the most whitebread actors and the only thing they want to change up is making the evil fool gay
Disney could get away with any kind of lgbt character because they are a monolith yet they choose this
Translating “Le Fou” as simply “The Fool” is being too generous. Here’s a dictionary definition of Fou:
They literally took someone whose name meant that and decided that was a great character to make gay. In an era where our dear vice president believes in violent conversion therapy for our “illness”, they decide to do that. That is what upsets me the most. (Though the other parts are certainly bad too.)
Just imagine it: The evil Queen is already making Snow White to wear poor peasant clothing, but it can’t disguise her beauty. So I imagine the queen also forcing her to shave her head every morning, in a desperate attempt to make her less beautiful. But alas, even without her hair, Snow is still considered the most beautiful girl in the land, both inside and out. :3
EDIT: I decided to go back and change the choice of frame.
