Lovely to see a blog dedicated to one of my favourite Disney movies!

No idea if you've been asked this before, but instead of asking about the comedy I'll ask something harder to pin down: what's your favourite emotional moment from the movie? (Mine is probably the apology that doesn't need to be said scene at the grass meadow)

Oh, and if that isn't a stupid question, what are your thoughts on Kronk's New Groove and Emperor's New School?

hey, glad you like my blog!! i only made it this year, sort of on impulse because i was going through yet another emperor's new groove obsession and there's multiple blogs out there like this for my other favorite disney movies, but any similar blogs for ENG i could find hadn't been active in years. so i thought it'd be fun to start one myself. warning that i tend to ramble so this might get a little long.

this might be a bit of an obvious answer, but i think my favorite emotional moment might just be the scene toward the end when kuzco tells pacha he's decided not to destroy the village! i love how it manages to be both emotional and funny at the same time, with kuzco feeling the need to apologize in this snarky, indirect way and pacha knowing exactly what's up and going along with it, and then indirectly inviting kuzco to be his neighbor for the summer. it's so sweet.

no such thing as a stupid question! it's been a while since i saw kronk's new groove and i probably need to rewatch it. i do remember thinking last time i watched it that it was one of the better disney sequels, but also that kronk didn't need to have a love interest tbh? just because of the setup of kronk's papi wanting him to settle down with a wife and kids and a large house, and him being uninterested in those things and determined to stay true to his own groove. though i do love kronk and remember thinking it was cool how they expanded on his character. and i loved it whenever kuzco interrupted the movie and when he pretended to be kronk's fake wife, lol.

as for the emperor's new school... i actually have a lot more thoughts on it but i don't want to reply with a massive wall of text so i'll try to be as concise as i can here LOL. i'll also say that this is all just my own personal opinion and if anyone disagrees then that's totally cool! but the show kiiind of frustrates me and gives me a lot of mixed feelings because i don't like how kuzco is written in it. i get that people don't completely change overnight, but a lot of the time in the show he's just so mean and selfish and his development often gets reset so he can learn the same lesson again in another episode. he'll also have really sweet moments with malina but then go back to mistreating her. it just bugs me because i love him in the movie and i feel like the show could've handled him better while still having him be flawed.

but, on the other hand, the show is often laugh-out-loud funny and i'm really glad eartha kitt and patrick warburton returned to voice yzma and kronk in it, because they're the source of a lot of great comedy. i also think malina is a great character (she's surprisingly well-developed especially for a 2000s spin-off cartoon imo) and there are certain parts of her romance with kuzco that i find really endearing, plus she's headstrong and takes no shit from him, so i still ship them even though i dislike how he treats her sometimes. i also love the fact that kuzco moves in with pacha and chicha and pretty much becomes a part of their family. some of my favorite episodes of the whole show are the ones that center on that wholesome found family dynamic. i've been thinking of possibly making some gifs of my favorite moments from the series!

Swapfell Take

I've taken a bit of a break for Christmas and New Year's and I got sick and got a new phone so I had to set everything up and brrrrrrr it's been a lot

But here's my swapfell Take the color scheme is purple and the theme is villain stereotypes

Chara: Design based on the classic Underfell just to contrast the rest of the cast. Likes heavy metal music. Rude but doesnt like picking fights. Equipped with tough jacket and pocket knife. Shaved their one eyebrow. Each save file has them wear a different rock band shirt. Bullies those weaker than them. Sees the worst in people

Temmie: Beaten and scuffed up. Missing an eye. Has spikier more jagged hair. Still cocky and thinks they're smarter than everyone and because of this they pick fights with people. They aren't as strong as normal swap temmie so they usually lose said fights hence their tattered appearance. Finds the human to be the only one down here with intelligence on their level which is why they tag along. They are the one to check enemies and usually offer weaknesses and a snide comment. They travel in your backpack cutely. Their tendency to make rude remarks usually gets you both in trouble.

Asgore: Locked himself in the Ruins after the death of his children. Refuses to move on. Doesn't trust Temmie. One of the kindest folk you'll meet. Refuses to make tea because it brings back bad memories. Cold and standoffish. Doesn't guide you through the Ruins just observes you. Afraid to get attached to anyone again because he fears losing them so he interacts with you as little as possible.

Papyrus: Based on the joke of swap Papyrus smoking weed....Swapfell Papyrus always has a joint. Red tired eyes. Can't get too high due to being a skeleton. Has a gold tooth and purple jacket. Similar to most versions of swapfell Papyrus. Hardest monster to befriend as he prefers to stay neutral with you the whole time. Likes pranks at others' expense. Mean spirited. Picks on his brother like siblings do. If you kill his brother he won't hesitate to kill you on the spot.

Sans: Instead of dressing like Batman his clothes are ripped up and he wears a Joker like insignia (a creepy smile). Calls himself Toothy Grin. He's less of the psychotic serial killer Joker and more of the cartoonist corny 60s Joker. Has convoluted schemes that always fail. Wants to impress the royal guard. Wears contacts that make his eyes look crazy and swirly. Gives Papyrus a jester hat and calls him his partner in crime. Likes to say Mwah heh heh heh heh.

Alphys: She's even ruder and meaner now. She enjoys smashing her toes faces into the pavement. The Captain of the Royal Guard and fights anyone who dares oppose the guard. Looking for someone to match her strength even the queen began to struggle in their training and all Alphys wants is a worthy opponent which is why she's become increasingly bored with her position and when you first meet her she's not even in her armor. Acts kinda aloof as she never met an opponent who she couldn't strike down. She doesn't take your first few encounters seriously but eventually she unleashed her full power. She's ecstatic when you beat her as she sees you as a new sparring opponent and is excited to meet someone able to match her intensity. Scarred and beaten up from fighting all these years. She refuses to heal her injuries as she thinks they're badges to wear with pride. Instead of a helmet she wears a triceratops skull that was her mother's. It's missing a horn. She also has a nose horn.

Undyne: Think Yzma from Emperor's New Groove. She's a mad scientist with the big coat that covers up the face like that guy from Invader Zim. She has a jacked up underbite with many different teeth growing everywhere like a screwed up shark and because she has multiple rows of teeth she self installed 6 pairs of braces which causes her to get electrocuted when she tries to pull a Frankenstein with Napstabot. She has big goofy glasses that obscure her beady white eyes. She experiments with combining cyborgs and determination to make weird monsters she sends after you in Hotland where she acts as the main antagonist and Napstabot is more of a secondary antagonist. She sends you traps and bad guys and even calls your phone to monologue. She desperately wants validation from the queen and is overjoyed when Alphys compliments her strange creations. Her and Alphys are already dating when you arrive and get engaged. Undyne likes to ride on Alphys shoulders even though it doesn't make her much taller than normal.

Napstabot: His radio form doesn't change much but his ex form gets a dapper suit. Just like normal Napstabot he's a radio host except now he does horror radio shows. He thinks he's really spooky and uses green goblin pumpkin bombs which tend to bounce off something and hit him as a running gag. He's the secondary antagonist of Hotland and acts more like an announcer and narrator to Undyne's antics. He has an Orson Welles style voice but his real voice is squeaky and cute. Also in ex form he ejects from his legs and has a purple ghostly tail of ectoplasm.

Toriel: Disney villain vibes. When you first meet her shes shrouded in shadows so you can only see her glowing purple eyes. She has menacing purple armor and a tall magic staff. No remorse for killing humans. Sealed away from her kingdom after her son started a small rebellion. Has little to no feeling. Keeps the coffins open....as trophies. The final challenge you face.

i'm submitting the '00 for the decades thingie :)

cc: @roxy206 bc you both asked for this at the same time (ty i love u both); this time I'm going to try to be choosier bc i watch too much stuff, issue is, a lot of these conflate together for me lol

Favorite film: howl's moving castle (feels like a hug), pan's labyrinth (i am a sucker for a good fairy tale specially a good gothic fairytale), the devil wears prada (pretty clothes and it happened right as my burgeoning interest in clothes as a tool of self expression was starting to develop), before sunset (i am not immune to romanticizing the mortifying ordeal of baring yourself to a stranger you met on a train, the desire to explore a city all day and making a crazy plan with someone you barely know but are already a little bit in love with... plus i love vienna), in the mood for love (high on the list of media that have ever made me feel alive; this one could classify for all three categories)

Comfort films: the emperor's new groove (i can quote this thing by heart and imitate yzma perfectly in the latam dub), sofia coppola's marie antoinette (pretty photography that doesn't require me to think too much and banging soundtrack), legally blonde (happy people don't kill their husbands... They just don't!), phantom of the opera (the first musical i saw live lmao it has a very special place in my heart bc of it), mamma mia (duh)

"Good" film: up! from pixar (fun fact: the falls Carl and Ellie wanted to go to are inspired in a real place in my country, it's a good movie, only it reminds me of someone that's already passed away, I've named my favorite peacock in el retiro park kevin after the bird from this thing), big fish (no words just my heart doing the thing from the grinch and feeling full and growing three times in size, i had a huge TB phase), dark knight (i am too fed up by super hero movies in general but i have a soft spot in particular for nolan's batman and spiderman in general), kill bill (i do not subscribe to the religion of people that worship everything he does but the truth is tarantino*is* really good), eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (it's not one of my favorites nor is it something i watch for comfort, but it is up there okay? the first movie of jim carrey that made me think oh shit he's actually good, with a couple of years and perspective on relationships it's just gotten better for me)
