Awesome cosplay! Love the blood effects makeup and the jewelry details.

Even though I never used it, I'm going to miss Tiktok. It's influenced our music, culture, and fashion in monumental ways. The app gets a lot of credit for being a platform for posers. For some it was a phase, something they lost interest in as they grew older (which is a totally normal, valid thing), but new and younger people also got introduced to our subculture. The younger generation preserves the history. A story that was weaved in the eighties by concerts, club-goers, and cassette collectors lives on in the minds of the youth. Ironically enough, I am one of those kids (or was.) I became interested in goth during 2019. Hearing different language bands like Molchat Doma become popular got me further involved in the scene. I thought it was so cool that goth rock united people across cultures, dialects, and countries. It's been 5 years since I first discovered goth.

Drag/cosplay of Constance I posted on TikTok yesterday. I’m really gonna miss both her and TikTok, so I thought I would cosplay her one last time.

Haunted Mansion Characters To Know PT 1:

Tw: mention of suicide (not really graphic but just so yall are aware)

The Ghost Host

His story is that he got stuck in the stretching room and took his own life but after the rumors and the 2023 movie it sounds like the story is going to change bc of the sight of a hanging man being deemed a little too dark for the light-hearted family friendly haunted house ride Walt Disney had intended. The 2023 movie showed them breaking through the glass at the top so maybe they’ll do that. There are also rumors they’ll replace the hanging scene with bats. So sometimes he has a rope on his neck and sometimes he doesn’t.

Master Gracey

He’s the owner of the mansion but judging by his name that story only makes sense for Disneyland Haunted Mansion. This is bc the Disneyland version is meant to be an old plantation house in New Orleans while the Disney World version being a North Eastern American home. Nonetheless he’s still the changing portrait in the foyers as you first walk in both of the U.S. Haunted Mansions. There’s also the story from the 2003 movie that he fell in love with (in that movies case) the bride Elizabeth Henshaw who was biracial and Master Gracey’s racist butler killed her and staged it as a suicide. Although that story has nothing to do with any version of the actual ride.

Madame Leota

She was a fortune teller (in New Orleans at Disneyland). When she died she was cursed into her crystal ball forever.

The bride

She has many different stories and therefore many different names. In the U.S. parks they have the one on the left but at one point they had a beating heart bride. I’ll make another post explaining her stories but the left bride is the current one. Her name is Constance Hatchaway. Her story summarized is that she married rich men and killed them for their money.

“They won’t tell you jack shit.”

“So far it’s not doing jack shit. What’s the sign for ‘jack shit’?”

— Stephanie Beatriz answering the moderator question whether she knew about the new Encanto ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and had to keep it under wraps. She wished she could be asked to do voices for the ride.

@ TwinCitiesCon

(Remember when she was interviewed by TheWrap in 2023 about if there will be a Encanto sequel and she answered “I haven’t heard jack shit”? Lol what a comeback.)

Here’s how Figment can still win | updating the attraction

I envy those who got to experience the ride in its original form with dream finder and all, I really do. I remember being a kid In the early 2000s and my grandpa was excited to take us on it as it was his favorite ride, only to find it completely different. However, what you might not expect me to say is that I don’t think the current iteration of journey into imagination is bad! Do I think it lives up to the original? No, but Dr.Channing is decent and the concept is quite cute.

The problem is this iteration is a clear patch job done nearly 20 years ago and they’ve let it sit ever since. This sucks. Especially considering Disney and Epcot clearly realize how much pull Figment has as a character, people adore this purple dragon years after his debut (remember the popcorn bucket?). They’ll slap him on anything and everything for festivals… but his ride? Actual non festival attraction related merch? You get a shirt or two if you’re lucky! When I went recently there was a single shelf reserved for figment related items. A single shelf in a decently sized gift shop that was mainly filled with the same Toy Story summer line they overestimated in popularity. (I’ve never seen anyone buy or have something from this line). The state it’s in is sad, especially considering Disney pulls on figments popularity! He’s getting a meet and greet again so can we finally update the attraction! … I’ve also heard rumor of the rainbow tunnel returning….

My solutions-

As much as I wish it could, I don’t know if we’ll get the dream finder version of the ride back, but here’s my idea on how to update the ride with the storyline we do have. It’s a cute concept but they’re not doing it to the best it can be.

1. Make it longer! To say they shortened journey into imagination is a understatement, I have no idea what they’re using half of the building for. Make it longer- maybe do go into the smell and taste labs. Make some more elaborate scenes- show that chaos figment has brought to the institue! One of the best gags is in the queue and the poor secretary of Dr.Channing answering the phone every few seconds - give me that energy! Give me… imagination running wild! That’s literally the storyline with figment but he feels so… constrained? Lack of space as it’s so short.

2. 2D figment. I beg of you. I know when the ride was redone 3D animation was new and all the rage but… I’m sorry 3D figment is terrifying and super dated. Soft, cuddly and cute 2D figment is timeless. It wouldn’t be that hard to go over the same scenes just with a drawn model instead, this is a quick fix to Rodger rabbit it.

3. More characters. I’m not even asking for animatronics but you need to give us something more. Again, that secretary is just a gag but its such a good show of story we don’t get on the actual attraction. A fun idea you could do is have “Dean Finder” come out and be the only one to be able to calm figment down/understand him? Sort of nod to the OG besides just a door THEN they open Channings mind to imagination as something to be free. This equally lengthens the attraction.

4. It just makes me sad as they have a really good concept here and ERIC FLIPPING IDLE but don’t utilize such a great comedic actor to the potential I know they could have. Another thing I’d request is the return of a good imageworks that’s not 99% photo opportunities with random characters not seen anywhere else. Additionally if you don’t want to make a lot of merch for the ride that’s fine… make the gift shop smaller, which shouldn’t be a issue if you make the ride longer again.

It’s fascinating to me that Disney consistently lets such a beloved attraction down despite using it for merch and festivals. It’s also fascinating that despite getting a whole makeover the park is leaning into a retro futurism feel and a “Epcot center” vibe (this is a good thing). But again ignores this ride- It’d be costly, sure, what isn’t, but I think it’d be worth giving just a bit of attention.
