This Thing Needs a Title?

HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!

The time for Los Jibbities has arrived!

"that’s not actually Crown’s boyfriend, Nona, it’s her sister, but I don’t think anyone could blame you for getting confused" is a wild line and it's describes their whole t h i n g with terrifying accuracy but the best part is how everything becomes even worse after

i just apolitically killed the king like i have no agenda or whatever im just the jester here but i stabbed him anyway LOL all the courtiers and advisors are trying really hard to figure out who did it LOL all of them wanted him dead but they dont know whose scheme it was so nobody can promulgate a coherent political maneuver based on the circumstances LOL just playing my lute #MyLute

"Does the worldbuilding of The Great Mouse Detective imply the existence of Mouse Colonialism" buddy, the plot of The Great Mouse Detective explicitly hinges on Mouse Race Science. Of course there's Mouse Colonialism.

(Like, it's not subtle. Ratigan is a self-hating rat who identifies as a mouse. His insistence on this point in spite of not being remotely mouse-passing is both a running gag and the motivation behind his most heinous acts of on-screen villainy. Basil pronounces "sewer rat" like it's a slur, and mocks Ratigan by calling him a stenchus rodentus, a piece of faux-Latin nonsense imitating the forms of Linnaean taxonomy, literally putting Ratigan in his place by locating him within a scientific hierarchy of races. Ratigan's downfall ultimately comes about not as a product of Basil's cleverness, but due to Ratigan's inability to restrain his own inherently savage nature. All of this is in the surface-level text of the film.)

Would that also imply that the mice of Europe subjugated the rats of the rest of the world?

In the books the cartoon is based on his full name is Pádraic Ratigan, so though the film's voice casting doesn't follow suit, I guess technically he's rodent Irish; given when the movie is set, he probably didn't live through the rodent Great Famine, but his parents definitely did.

Then again Rattigan himself also gives a speech where he explicitly embraces eugenicist values by calling for the segregation of old people, the disabled, and young children.

Well, yes – "the heroes and the villains have functionally identical value systems but it's only bad when the untermensch says it" is a customary failing of fantasy media.

Also, the existence of Mouse!Watson implies that, at the time of the film, Mouse!England is colonizing Mouse!Afghanistan.

been thinking about this nonstop. does the rodent Navy have to like, stowaway on the ships of the British Navy in order to properly invade Mouse Afghanistan or do they have to make little rafts to cross the English Channel then just march on foot. how does rodent colonialism work. i can't stop thinking about this.

Mulan and Mushu, somehow opperating on the same wavelength: oh haven't you heard?

okay huge shoutout to our not jewish belovèd who was messaging someone jewish and wrote "RIP me" but then changed it to "may my memory be a blessing" - this is genius and we think it needs to catch on
