No dogs on the moon!

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.

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:

Welcome back to the stream!~ 🌸

I'm going to get back into it after a long hiatus, starting with tomorrow, Thursday 6/11, where we'll start Project: Eden's Garden anew and hopefully get through the whole prologue without issue this time!

The plan is to stream most Tuesdays and Thursdays this month--with the exception of 6/24, which is when Deltarune Chapter 5 drops. The other streams will be finishing P:EG (chapter 1) OR preparation for Art Fight, where I'll be working on references and such.

Every stream will be starting roughly around 6pm CST, all over at twitch.tv/thebusytypewriter. Hope to see you there! <3

The stream tonight is still happening, but I've been informed that Project: Eden's Garden has been cancelled and will no longer be continuing. This is a shame, but the show must go on!

Instead, we will be continuing Cult of the Lamb (very hard mode)!

Hold him
