#Disney Must Pay

[terriwriting]

Time to check: Is Disney still fucking over it's writers?

So speaking of Daredevil, as showrunner of S1, part of my deal includes a little sliver of the backend. Never expected to see any on Netflix. But then Marvel/Disney pulled it and it ended up on Disney +. Now I'm part of an audit to try to get the money they owe me and others.

Yup.

[chronicallylatetotheparty]

🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😤😤😤😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬

I can't stop thinking about how much playing Kit and Jade meant to Ruby and Erin and now it's being erased from Disney+, taken away from young people yet to find themselves. I can't stop thinking about how much this show meant to Erin and the joy she felt making it. How much it means to all of us. Guess what, Disney? The internet's fucking forever. You can't erase it completely.

😱😱😱😱😱

This is madness. MADNESS.

Thank you to the Topolino comics for making the way I torture Mickey at times look like a freaking tea party,

Anytime someone says Disney never did that I legitimately pull out the comics and somehow they've done something worse,

[itstimeforstarwars]

Star wars canon is like "Togruta aren't super common which means that a Togruta anywhere is pretty noticeable" and all of us are like fuck that togruta are cool as fuck i want three Togruta ocs for every story.

Taking a moment to be utterly frivolous and consumer-driven:

If and when Disney releases special merch for the 10th anniversary of their live action Cinderella (they had better!!!) I will either be scornful and financially safe or devolve into a rabid fangirl finally given access to the financial means to make terrible decisions.

*listens to the Togo 2019 soundtrack for the millionth time* Goddamn it Mark Isham...

Disney...disney c'mere bud, just get over here get over now just listen LISTEN I just wanna talk I swear I just think...I just think that maybe...you shouldn't have let this one go onto just streaming- no wait listen just listen wai-*gets dragged away*

[speakingviscera]

the pain of having to wait like a week before I can watch the dr who special because I don't have disney+ :')

[hang-on-lil-tomato]

yes, because in a vampire comedy, things like business relationships should always be treated like real human…

oh wait, human people cross that line all the damn time!

I don’t have a horse in the race, except I’m tired of stupid queerbaiting show runners!

hearing what Paul Simms said about Nandermo is so dissapointing because if anything wwdits fans WANT it to be problematic and messy. like when has wwdits ever been non-problematic.

i want guillermo and nandor to fuck nasty raw then regret it then not regret it then regret it again and so on and so forth because that would BE FUCKING JUICY SHIT

I came to mention that Marvel is owned by Disney and Disney supported Israel, so we are boycotting Disney

I'm giving you an additional reason to boycott (And I'm angry that Pixar's movie about emotions, the continuation of the previous movie, was a success, even a bomb, which means that Disney got the money)

So in short, Marvel belongs to Disney, and Disney supported Israel financially and even bragged about it, so if you type "Disney support Israel" on the Internet, you will see his message and how he brags about it)

So fuck Disney, not for "Woke", but for supporting Israel, for censoring the creators, for recording in the area next to labor camps during the filming of "Mulan", fuck him for everything

TOH proved that diversity is not Disney's problem and right-wing conservatives call it "Woke" I give depth to the characters, the problem is queerbaiting and paying for anti-LGBT+ organizations

Disney is a disgusting capitalist company that only thinks about making money (Pocahontas and how much they romanticized white crimes and antagonized the tribe because they are angry and aggressive towards innocent white colonizers… And this romance, which is problematic, because it was based on a book by a man who distorted the facts and the real Pocahontas gave him a hard time for what he wrote in the book)

This movie proved that Disney counts on money, not on quality and creative freedom (Because "Beauty and the Beast" won an Oscar, it must get it too, fuck the fact that the movie is distasteful to those who learn about this girl's story)

Disney has so much shit on its conscience that it's no wonder it gave money to the colonizer

So yes, boycott the movie not only because of the characters depicting Israel, but also because Marvel belongs to Disney

What if F! Yuu's dad got transported to Twisted Wonderland with her headcanons

Pt. 2 Pt.3 Pt.4

I thought of this concept after watching those Fantasy Dad comedy reels.

When your dad woke up from the coffin before you, lemme just say it was pure drama.

🦀:"Yuu, get back in the coffin! We're surrounded by weird men and boys in cult clothes!"

He was even more distressed when you came out holding Grim in your arms.

That's when Crowley explains you and your father's predicament.

🦀: So you're telling me we're stuck in a twisted Disney universe at an all-boys school, and you expect my daughter and I to stay here? Ain't no way that's happening! Yuu, come on! We're finding a hotel!

Somehow you and your father end up staying because Crowley convinced him that ya'll should stay in case he finds a way home.

Y’all still end up at Ramshackle.

But where the path differs is with the overblots and Malleus.

Your dad saw Malleus and you in the garden and put a stop to it. Hank Hill style.

🦀: Yuu, who are you talking to in the garden, in the dead of night?

🦐: Just a friend, dad!

🐉: So this must be the father everyone is talking about.

🦀: Who are you and why do you look like a demon?

🦐: Dad!

🐉: Ahaha, mortals think of such creative names for us.

🦀: Yuu, get back inside this guy is weird.

🦐: Don’t be rude, dad! He’s my new friend!

🦀: Oh really? Then what’s his name?

🦐: Tsunotaro/Hornton.

🦀: And did he tell you that?

🦐: Well….he wouldn’t tell me his real name so he asked me to give him a nickname.

🦀:I’m going to give your pale thin haired creepy self five minutes to leave before I kick your ass!

🦐: Dad!

During the Riddle Overblot arc, when Ace comes to stay with you, your dad is just onto his tactics.

♥️: Please, can I sleep in your bed? I swear I won’t take up much space!

🦀: Listen here boy, she may not be able to catch onto your tactics, but I can. I was once a teenage boy too. You’re not sharing a bed with her.

🦐:….ha….yeah…..to the couch you go. I’ll see you in the morning.

🦀: Yuu, lock your door before you go to sleep.

He pays Grim in tuna to make sure he keeps the boys in line when it comes to Yuu.

Dear friends: I just wanted to give you an update on my little life. First & foremost, I apologize for not being very active on Tumblr... my moots are very dear to me. Secondly, we are grateful to be alive! Despite tremendous loss, life goes on, & we must start from scratch, which, frankly, is overwhelming yet necessary. The real estate market is extremely competitive due to the 12,000 people who lost their homes in the fires. We have made an offer on a house in Orange County vs. LA County. Replacing things like a coffee maker, tv, furniture, sound system, security system, clothing, etc. is unbelievably expensive. Fortunately, our homeowners insurance, along with a large donation from my employer (Disney Animation Studios), have been a godsend. Despite losing sentimental & important items, they are just "things," & I refuse to dwell or whine about material loss. So many victims were not so lucky.

Currently, I am back to work part time, which gives me a sense of normalcy. However, I spend time helping fire victims by paying it forward.

I realize many of you are struggling with your own problems. I want to be there for you as so many of you have supported & comforted me. Please message me if you need a listening ear. Love & Light to you all. 💛☀️

FAVE ANON HERE 😏

It’s been a minute since I’ve submitted but after the vitriol I have seen on Twitter this weekend, I felt the need to speak…

First things first, all of us are brought here with one definitive common thread - we are all fans of Bridgerton. If we were not, we would probably not find ourselves in this fandom at all.

With that being said, if you’re on this blog you are probably a fan of both Nicola AND Luke. More than likely, you want them to be together romantically or believe they already are. And if you don’t want any of that, I don’t know why you’re here reading this posts. This is how you become a troll.

You are allowed to be a fan of one and not the other. This is not a dictatorship and no one is holding a gun to your heads. But this is the point where it is VITAL for me to remind you how many times Nic and Luke have a real love for each other and at the core are best friends. WHAT THIS MEANS IS you cannot call yourself a fan of one of them while simultaneously spreading hate and contempt and overall nastiness about the other one all over social media.

Now I have approached the topic of the RUMORED insignificant others. Did you know that there is no general rule of fandom that states if you are a fan of a character performer that you must also become a fan of any performers they may date now or in the future? WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT no one is required to become Jake’s #1 fan just because the rumor mill wants to say Nic is dating him. Hell no one has to become his #1 fan if Nic herself came out and said she was dating him. Again, there is no need to speak with malice about his looks or his talent all over the internet but you do not have to be a fan. Same goes for the dancer who shall not be named (I know it’s a trigger for many around here). And if they act in deplorable ways - such as the dancer has displayed in the past - you are allowed to speak out on it while using decorum.

This is ultimately bringing me back to why I wrote this today. Tell me why I’m seeing tweets talking about how Jake is a more successful and more talented actor than Luke. Tweets saying Luke can’t act and how amazing Jake is. These tweets are from Bridgerton “fans”. These tweets are from Nicola “fans”. Based on everything I’ve written up until now, the math ain’t mathing on the word “fan”.

I’m not spreading hate to Jake. Fact of the matter, he’s a 24 year old kid almost fresh out of drama school. He has had one season of a failed show on a streaming network riddled with failed shows. He now has a small part in a movie that probably is not even recognized yet out of this fandom and extreme movie fans - if we’re being honest. Luke is 31 and is on his 4th season of one of Netflix’s top shows. He was the male lead last season and the season broke records. He was on a Disney channel show when he was younger. He was on multiple stage shows on the West End. He’s had many other roles in smaller projects and just picked up a lead role in a new film. While it is considered an independent film, it is a LEAD role.

With that evidence laid out, how can anyone actually say with their full chest that Jake is the better and more successful actor? Oh right they can’t. What it comes down to is the fact that the “Jakola shipping” movement is not based on anything more than being an Anti-Luke Newton movement and it is GROSS. No matter what they tell you, there was no “relationship” being universally talked about prior to late summer. On August 25 those festival pictures were released and some very twisted narcissistic people in this fandom took them and ran with them. They created a narrative to help dictate what and who people in this fandom are allowed to discuss online. They’ve bullied creators off of TikTok and Twitter and gaslight the hell out of everyone when called on it. A 24 year old gay man (OMG I SAID IT) is being bullied on the internet and the blame is fully being put on “Lukolas” when the truth is that no one would be paying any attention to him if this narrative wasn’t perpetuated in the first place. (Side note: if you’re sending hate to Jake on behalf of being a Lukola, please stop. Please treat him like you treat every other one of Nic’s male friends. No one should be getting hate.)

The majority of the hate and toxicity in this fandom stems with the Jakolas Jackholes and those who blindly follow and defend a certain creator. I’m not going to say her name because I know how much she gets off on people talking about her (even when it’s bad) AHAH. This is the shit that everyone else is afraid to say out loud but it’s true. And for those of you in that discord reading this to report back, hiiii!

Oh and if anyone has a problem with this and wants to call me out for being on Anon, let me know and I’ll DM you because I’m not afraid. I’m grownup.

Xx

Finally seeing people with common sense!

My fave anon pulls through yet again.

Everyone say thank you fave anon.

one of the things that i think we should pay attention to, socially, about the disney v. desantis thing is that it is really highlighting the importance of remembering nuance.

in a purely neutral sense, if you engage in something problematic, that does not mean you are necessarily agreeing with what makes it problematic. and i am worried that we have become... so afraid of any form of nuance.

disney isn't my friend, they're a corporate monopoly that bastardized copyright laws for their own benefit, ruin the environment, and abuse their workers (... and many other things). this isn't a hypothetical for me - i grew up in florida. i also worked for the actual Walt Disney World; like, in the parks. i am keenly aware of the ways they hurt people, because they hurt me. i fully believe that part of the reason florida is so conservative is because it's been an "open secret" for years now that disney lobbies the government to keep minimum wage down, and i know they worked hard to keep the parks unmasked and open during the worst parts of Covid. they purposefully keep their employees in poverty. they are in part responsible for the way the floridian government works.

desantis is still, by a margin that is frankly daunting, way worse. the alternative here isn't just "republicans win", it's actual fascism.

in a case like this, where the alternative is to allow actual fascism into united states legislation - where, if desantis wins, there are huge and legal ramifications - it's tempting to minimize the harm disney is also doing, because... well, it's not fascism. but disney isn't the good guy, either, which means republicans are having a field day asking activists oh, so you think their treatment of their employees is okay?

we have been trained there is a right answer. you're right! you're in the good group, and you're winning at having an opinion.

except i have the Internet Prophecy that in 2-3 months, even left-wing people will be ripping apart activists for having "taken disney's side". aren't i an anti-capitalist? aren't i pro-union? aren't i one of the good ones? removed from context and nuance (that in this particular situation i am forced to side with disney, until an other option reveals itself), my act of being like "i hope they have goofy rip his throat out onstage, shaking his lifeless body like a dog toy" - how quickly does that seem like i actually do support disney?

and what about you! at home, reading this. are you experiencing the Thought Crime of... actually liking some of the things disney has made? your memories of days at the parks, or of good movies, or of your favorite show growing up. maybe you are also evil, if you ever enjoyed anything, ever, at all.

to some degree, the binary idealization/vilification of individual motive and meaning already exists in the desantis case. i have seen people saying not to go to the disney pride events because they're cash grabs (they are). i've seen people saying you have to go because they're a way to protest. there isn't a lot of internet understanding of nuance. instead it's just "good show of support" or "evil bootlicking."

this binary understanding is how you can become radicalized. when we fear nuance and disorder, we're allowing ourselves the safety of assuming that the world must exist in binary - good or bad, problematic or "not" problematic. and unfortunately, bigots want you to see the world in this binary ideal. they want you to get mad at me because "disney is taking a risk for our community but you won't sing their praises" and they want me to get mad at you for not respecting the legit personal trauma that disney forced me through.

in a grander scheme outside of disney: what happens is a horrific splintering within activist groups. we bicker with each other about minimal-harm minimal-impact ideologies, like which depiction of bisexuality is the most-true. we gratuitously analyze the personal lives of activists for any sign they might be "problematic". we get spooked because someone was in a dog collar at pride. we wring our hands about setting an empty shopping mall on fire. we tell each other what words we may identify ourselves by. we get fuckin steven universe disk horse when in reality it is a waste of our collective time.

the bigots want you to spend all your time focusing on how pristine and pretty you and your interests are. they want us at each other's throats instead of hand in hand. they want to say see? nothing is ever fucking good enough for these people.

and they want their followers to think in binary as well - a binary that's much easier to follow. see, in our spaces, we attack each other over "proper" behavior. but in bigoted groups? they attack outwards. they have someone they hate, and it is us. they hate you, specifically, and you are why they have problems - not the other people in their group. and that's a part of how they fucking keep winning.

some of the things that are beloved to you have a backbone in something terrible. the music industry is a wasteland. the publishing industry is a bastion of white supremacy. video games run off of unpaid labor and abuse.

the point of activism was always to bring to light that abuse and try to stop it from happening, not to condemn those who engage in the content that comes from those industries. "there is no ethical consumption under late capitalism" also applies to media. your childhood (and maybe current!) love of the little mermaid isn't something you should now flinch from, worried you'll be a "disney adult". wanting the music industry to change for the better does not require that you reject all popular music until that change occurs. you can acknowledge the harm something might cause - and celebrate the love that it has brought into your life.

we must detach an acknowledgment of nuance from a sense of shame and disgust. we must. punishing individual people for their harmless passions is not doing good work. encouraging more thoughtful, empathetic consumption does not mean people should feel ashamed of their basic human capacities and desires. it should never have even been about the individual when the corporation is so obviously the actual evil. this sense that we must live in shame and dread of our personal nuances - it just makes people bitter and hopeless. do you have any idea how scared i am to post this? to just acknowledge the idea of nuance? that i might like something nuanced, and engage in it joyfully? and, at the same time, that i'm brutally aware of the harm that they're doing?

"so what do i do?" ... well, often there isn't a right answer. i mean in this case, i hope mickey chops off ron's head and then does a little giggle. but truth be told, often our opinions on nuanced subjects will differ. you might be able to engage in things that i can't because the nuance doesn't sit right with me. i might think taylor swift is a great performer and a lot of fun, and you might be like "raquel, the jet fuel emissions". we are both correct; neither of us have any actual sway in this. and i think it's important to remember that - the actual scope of individual responsibility. like, i also love going to the parks. Thunder Mountain is so fun. you (just a person) are not responsible for the harm that Disney (the billion dollar corporation) caused me. i don't know. i think it's possible to both enjoy your memories and interrogate the current state of their employment policies.

there is no right way to interrogate or engage with nuance - i just hope you embrace it readily.
