#is there even a tag for kuzco??

[viluchen]

guys i had the craziest vision-

(here is leo as kuzco cause i got reminded of the kuzco series while also thinking about rise leo and i was like HOLD UP-)

[chemicaldonut]

So I’ve never seen “The Emperor’s New Groove” but recently I saw a lot of tumblr post about it for whatever reason.

So this is what I know after about a month

- The villain is the Inca version of Baba Yaga

- Kronk is best boy

- Squirrels?

- Twink Inca Emperor

- An alpaca at one point

- Houses?

- “Pull the lever Kronk!”

- A sombrero? I don’t even know?

- A TON of memes

That’s about it. Literally that’s it.

I’ll watch it in the next days and I’ll se if y’all were right.

[selinas-ships]

RAHHHHH I LOVE IT YES YES YES YES YES

yes 10000%, he's got ghosts of memories of her <3 the prologue of my wip fic is literally a dream/memory of her comforting him <333

HELP LMAOOOOO no cause Quya got hurt before she was turned into a golden statue, so when the Chipmunks find her, she turns back into a human and immediately collapses due to her injury. so imagine Kuzco, Ray, and the guards arrive at the temple and Kronk is carrying her, trying to hide her bleeding from the kids 💀 and Kronk is just going back and forth between this unconscious teenager in his arms and his friend the Emperor who looks as if he'd just seen a ghost like "i feel like i know her from somewhere" only for it to click when her birthmark is revealed by one of the guards who takes her from him :)

Ray Ray Ray ive had a Wild idea /pos

so Emperor's New Groove Ray got there by time-travel stuff, yeah? what if Ray was in Yzma's lab trying to figure out how to replicate it (either from a genuine desire to go home, even just for a bit, or just for funsies, idk lol) and Kuzco came down to check in on her. and the experiment goes A Little Bit Wrong.

granted, it does work. they do time travel. they just time-travel into the past. when Kuzco is a baby just learning how to walk. and he gets to see his sister, and his father, and he gets to see how much they love him.

Ray attempts to redo the experiment. and it takes them a little bit further. it takes them to the night Quya disappeared, and they get to see what happened to her.

Ray takes them back to the present this time. and Kuzco orders guards to scour Inti's temple for his sister now that he Knows.

(aka HEY WHAT IF RAY HELPED KUZCO REUNITE WITH HIS LONG-LOST SISTER with a sprinkle of hurt/comfort between Rayco 🥰)

WAIT STOP THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEAAAAA AHHHHH

I feel like that would make Kuzco see Ray as like a sort of blessing or something almost Because I still feel like he has some rather Vague memories of Quya before she had left so he had probably missed her for so so long 😭😭 and Ray finally (yet accidentally) revealing where she was he WAS PROBABLY LIVE OVER THE FUCKING MOON BRO LIKE HE MISSED HIS BIG SISTER AND LIKE NOW HE LOVES RAY EVEN MORE FOR THAT LMAOOO

WAIT I STILL LIKE THE JUNIOR CHIPMUNK IDEA TOO SO LIKE I FEEL LIKE MAYBE A COMBINATION LIKE RAY’S SPELL REVEALS WHERE SHES HIDDEN AND THEN THEY GO AND QUYA IS JUST SITTING THERE WITH KRONK, CHACA AND TIPO WITH LIKE A BUNCH OF OTHER KIDS AND JUST TALKING TO A FUCKING SQUIRREL 💀💀 LIKE IM SORRY THATS SO FUNNY AND LIKE IF THIS WERE CANON THATS LITERALLY SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN IF THIS WAS A MOVIE 💀😭😭

Also the guards being hella dumbfounded by the scene infront of them when they pull up lmaoooo 😭 (I’d imagine Kuzco would also be there and he’d probably be like “how tf do the people I know keep running into each other-“ BECAUSE LIKE THAT LITERALLY HAPPENED DURING THE ENTIRE LLAMA INCIDENT WITH KRONK AND CHICHA AND THE KIDS💀💀)

BUT YEA THATS A BRILLIANT IDEA FRRR EEEE I LOVE MAKING LORE THIS IS SO SO MUCHH FUNNN YAYYY!!! :D

✨MY TOP 24 FROM 2024✨

Thank you for the tag @dustbon and @payte 💙

I had A LOT going on in my personal life this year so I don't quite have 24 images that I want to share, but these are a few of my favorites. From the SDV Legacy Challenge, to the Postcard Legacy Challenge, to my own legacy, it's been quite a year of planning/writing/game playing. I even entered my first BC challenge (OMG Kuzco, I hope you go far!!). If you're reading this, thanks for sticking around 🥰 I'm hoping that 2025 gives me inspiration and motivation to complete some of my story ideas. Cheers 🥂~

Tagging: @ashubii, @dustinbroke, @zosa95, @whyhellosims, @nectar-cellar, @rebouks & anyone else who wants to get in on the nostalgia.

[lcafman]

respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better.

roleplayer name : ellie !

pronouns : she / her !

muse name(s) : nod , unfortunately lol . the name means “ to wander “ which i think is pretty fitting for him . in my modern verse i’ve made his name “ nicholas “ because who in this day and age would name their child a verb

preferred communication : DMs ! this is a good time for me to mention this - please don’t take it personally if i take a few days to respond , even if i’m online ! i PROMISE it’s nothing personal , i just want to ensure i’m in the right headspace to reply to things . i do this to everyone so it has nothing to do with you . even my closest friends have to suffer through my horrendous texting lol ( rae you have the patience of a saint )

experience : i started on ‘ chickensmoothie ‘ ( no i’m not kidding ) , but eventually moved to twitter for a few years before settling down in tumblr !

preferred roleplay type : it genuinely depends ! i love banter , i love multi-para style — whatever works ! at the end of the day my favorite type of roleplay is when you’ve brain rotted over your characters together so much that you get Genuinely excited to see the other person reply lol

pet peeves / dealbreakers : force shipping / speed shipping is Not the vibe . i adore romance and am nearly always down to do so between two consenting adults , but if we’ve had zero ooc communication , to jump straight into “ we’re in a committed relationship “ is a little too fast for me .

i also really dislike character dynamics where one muse is essentially the other muses therapist . always comforting them without ANY type of reciprocation or bonding outside of that — it’s exhausting . i’ve been put in that position way too many times in real life i can’t have it happen in fictional writing too lol

and finally , ship jealousy . it’s mad weird . we’re all adults and these are fictional characters . if you’re getting jealous over a multiship muse , please take a break it’s not that serious . i’ve been guilty of this myself in the past , and i have to force myself to take a small break to reconnect with the outside world . i’m not here to compete when we could all just hold hands and gush about our ships together .

best time to write : definitely in the evening / night ( cst ) ! that’s when i have the most muse , and i’ll usually try to check the dash around this time as well .

are you like your muse ? : NO lmao . i was talking with jaye the other night about how i am nothing like nod . aside from both of us being relatively outgoing and maybe adrenaline junkies / enjoying jobs with high stakes , we’re pretty much polar opposites . he’s type b , i’m type a , he’s a hopeless romantic , i’m not , he’s fuckin stupid , i am about 80% sure i’m not — we’re completely different . it’s what makes him so fun to write , though . i get to get into the mind of someone who’s pretty much nothing like me — it’s so fun to see the world through his eyes .

HI! It's the mun here!

I'm new on this site so I'm still trying to figure out how Tumblr works. I apologize in advance.

Anyway.

Hi! I'm Yaz. A veteran hispanic fan of the Kuzco movies and series.

I also want to contribute to the ENG/ENS franchise by finally sharing some ideas I've had for ages. Specially about Malina.

Sooo... I was thinking that since Kuzco and some others have established headcanons by fans (such good ones btw) I thought Malina should have some too. So I may start with this girls' headcanons on another post. Only to see if the mun for the best Kuzco here agrees or not aggshsjs. (It's @boombambaby)

Props to my one and only inspiration and new friend :D. Yes, every ENG fan is my friend even if we don't know each other xD ahgsgaj) that is the one I tagged for motivating me to share my stuff, making me overcome my shyness and fear ahaha. [Spoiler: I'm the one who told u on twitter I got crazy ideas but that I felt insecure about them, idk if u remember me aha xD]

[valentinaonthemoon]

I Feel You Linger In The Air was so so so so good. I have no words right now and I'll probably write more on my @byebyelemonpie November post, but for now, let me just say I enjoyed it lots.

(I am also very confused by the end, by time travel rules, and by the tag scene) (so confused that all I could think about at the end was that scene from The Emperor's New Groove with Kuzco asking Yzma and Kronk how they arrived at the palace before them and Kronk replying: "By all accounts it doesn't make sense!" because honestly. it didn't.) (but it doesn't matter, i loved every second of it. it's been a wonderful journey and it's been consistently good, even the memes!)

"I, too, have a destiny! This death will be ART!!"

✨ Introduction Post!! 🖌️✨

{Welcome to my account, my little bunnies! You can me Angel or Avery. I'm the owner of this beautiful acc. This post is my introduction and starter for my main muse and rules. When i am OOC - i use {} brackets, and prefer to use quotation marks and small paragraphs when IN character.}

{ OOC - I use They/He/It pronouns, while my muse uses She/Her pronouns. To make it simple; I am okay with basically any topic/genre of RP, as long as it isn't problematic and toxic. || i usually go for OC x canon stories or angst to add some spice to it, tho. || PEDOS/ZOOPHILES/PROSHIPPERS/TOXIC MF-ERS DNI!! || 16+ ONLY!! || }

Now. Onto my main muse!! Angel!

{Note: 2 of the images were screenshot redraws of Chicha. Angel has a similar facial shape but the same eyes as her.}

Name: Angel

Movie/Series: Emperor's New Groove Age: 18 years Gender: female Sexuality: Bisexual Pronouns: She/Her Height: 5"4' Body type: Curvy and chubby Personality: Hot-headed, sensitive, obsessive, clingy, artistic, (literally a mixture of her mother and she copies the emperor sometimes) Nationality: unknown Languages: English, practicing Spanish and Japanese

Voice claim; Brutus - The buttress

Mother: Yzma Crushes: Kuzco and Deo

Being born as the daughter of the Emperor's advisor (Yzma), Angel was kept a secret for nearly 5 years, but still treated like a daughter with love and affection, but also heartbreak and shouts of negativity. Angel was soon introduced to Kuzco to be his royal painter and 'best friend' when they were both around 6 years old. Kuzco didn't have much interest in her only because she was a servant and he was a literal child at the time. Yzma would discuss plans with Angel and try to force her to help out, but some failures happened. Angel has been verbally and emotionally abused by her mother but she still loved her with all her heart.

The older she got, Angel started catching on the manipulation, feeling like a tool. Confronting her mother at age 10, Yzma became more distant with Angel, but started to feel bad the more she was away from her. Trying to make up for her negative actions, Angel was already about 12-13 years old, and could see how similar Angel has become to her; hot-headed, loud, but holds a sense of fashion, and so forth, making this more difficult than it should be. At age 14, the two had made up a bit, tried to think of plans of actual mother and daughter hangouts and future plans…. But it became worse once again.

Yzma had paid more attention to Kuzco and tried to think what would be the best to get rid of him and make herself the Empress, Angel calling her out in a fit of rage and was… Kicked out.

Angel had to move away, and become a villager, restart her life, etc. She felt miserable, wishing her and her mother had a better relationship. Angel had started drinking shortly after moving into a village. She had been through a deep depression and caused harmed upon herself, physically and mentally. Her life (after the age of 15) slowly got better, but she still had a bad drinking habit. She met the village 'crazy boy', Deo, and the two clinged on to each other and connected right away, as if they were destined to meet.

The two would chat about anything, from Family, to weird thoughts, to even their crush on the emperor.

By the time they were both 18, Angel had gotten the summons… She was asked to be Kuzco's royal painter once more after he found out the truth about her. She agreed, but only if Deo was allowed to tag along. He was skeptical at first, but since Kuzco was a better person, he gave in and allowed it. Deo and Angel were going back and forth from the villages to the palace, living the dream.

{All information was copy and pasted from my notes - Hopefully it all makes some form of sense. I hope y'all like this and anyone who wishes to rp, feel free to comment or DM me.}

{Bye, my lil' bunnies!!}

[boombambaby]

respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better.

roleplayer name: Cas!

roleplayer pronouns: she/her -- though I usually go by character's name/gender or don't really care tbh.

muse name(s): Kuzco!

preferred communication: I'm pretty open everywhere. I'm off Weds/Thurs, and I work from 6am - 2pm EST. At work I have access to Tumblr so I can be reached in DM's, and on Discord on breaks. after work I'm usually here for DM's or on Discord all evening until about 10pm EST (though I should try to get to bed earlier tbh). I'm admittedly terrible at communicating, though. You can reply to me, and I'll open it up and read it and be doing something else, and think 'i'll get to it in a few minutes!' and then completely forget that it exists. On that same note, i'm also always worried I'm bothering someone, so I rarely reach out first for messages unless I have a specific question or something. I love to chat though, or discuss our characters or ideas or. . ANYTHING, honestly. I just sometimes need a nudge.

experience: I've been writing/roleplaying since 2005! Started with Myspace and AIM roleplay, moved from there to LiveJournal for a hot minute and then Facebook, Twitter, and eventually Roleplayer.me. Always said I'd NEVER join Tumblr, bc it seemed so confusing, but. Here we are!

preferred roleplay type: I'm a fan of all kinds. I LOVE banter or crack roleplay. It's my all time favorite, and I think it's the best tool for personality building a character you can have. Thinking on your feet in character can be a BLAST and it's just. So fun. Some of the best interactions come from that or prompts. I'm also a fan of sentence multi-para though I have a tendency (if you couldn't tell) to ramble and turn it into a novella pretty easily.

pet peeves & dealbreakers: I honestly don't have any dealbreakers. I've been doing this so long I've learned to roll with the punches, mostly. I'd have to really think about pet peeves, but I don't think I have any. I've had bad situations in the past, I'm sure everyone has. I don't like overly possessive writing partners. If we ship and we're single ship, that's fine. But don't try to dictate who I can and can't speak to or write with. It honestly takes a lot to upset me. Don't include me in drama, don't count me as a number and never interact or straight up ignore me, don't leave me hanging forever (I'm very lenient with replies, I will NEVER pressure you, but if it's been months I might start to question what's going on.) and we'll be cool. EDIT TO ADD; THOUGHT OF A PET PEEVE. RL issues and politics! I understand that the world is a WILD place right now, and there are controversial topics and that everyone has an opinion. That's all fine and good; BUT I ROLEPLAY SPECIFICALLY TO GET AWAY FROM REAL LIFE AND STRESS, and the very LAST thing I want to see on my timeline is a post endorsing a presidential candidate, or posts showing a war zone, or any of the other trending topics right now. Roleplay is a fictional world we create with other writers. It's not that I don't care about those issues, I just don't think they have any place here. and the black outs and things that roleplayers do for 'support' and all that, I just. I don't get it. I don't want to see it. Same with the asks to support x family from x war torn country. Just. please. Don't.

best time to write: Probably in the morning while I'm at work, other than that I can be pretty sporadic. I love to relax and banter and do goofy stuff at night. But honestly, I'm always up for something!

are you like your muse? Ahhhhh, I'm gonna go ahead and say no lol. I can be quick, teasing and sarcastic when I get to know someone, and I'm pretty extroverted like Kuzco with a lot of things; but the cocky arrogance, all about me, flaunting his wealth and tossing people out of windows bit? Total and complete opposite of who I am. Writing him is definitely a TON of fun, and a very welcome relief from the stresses of real life, and I love writing for him so, so much.

there's a tiny part of me that can't stop taking things seriously that is building an actual serious plot for The Emperor's New Groove: Apocalpyse Funk

[astrangertomykin]

just admit y'all don't know what filler episodes actually are & don't understand that major plot arcs aren't needed to deepen the overall story or characters. it can come from "filler" episodes in small changes or experiences but cause its not part of the main story y'all complain.

[brinesystem]

culture based rambling again don't mind me

i love the combination of partial memories and those memories being things that don't quite make sense. especially when it meets culture things.

we have a photo of the body in a qipao, and our uncles live in china. they didn't live in china at the time, none of our immediate relatives are chinese, and we were... pretty young in it. like, might not know different countries existed, young. apparently our grandfather got it from Chinatown. why? nobody knows. he's gone and we can't ask him.

we know the taste of mooncakes, but don't remember eating them. none of our family remembers ever having one. we remember how they look when sliced into eight. we can only assume it was our grandfather again, but he wasn't chinese. he's not asian at all. why is this something we know, that we remember? nobody seems to have an answer.

we've had indigenous alters for years, but the old host forgot entirely that we were indigenous at all. sage remembers that we were told off for interacting with indigenous cultures of any kind when we were younger. and none of that makes sense with our other memories. why do we remember stories that we would have never been told by our family? why did we have indigenous alters to start with. why were we interacting that young if we were told off for it.

was it our grandfather again? he was black and cherokee, though we are neither. it's not impossible, but it doesn't make sense. it could have been a teacher we had in california, but we were there for so little time, when would they have taught us?

a northern indigenous friend of ours has said that Sage looks and seems like they might be based on cherokee culture, for lack of better words. Where would we have learned it though?

i don't know.

was it all from a movie? no movie we would have seen that young would have been that accurate... even things we don't remember knowing anything about are pointed out later as accurate to different cultures.

there's so much culture we have memories of, and none of those memories are solid enough to know what to do with.

we're not chinese. we're not cherokee. we're taino and breton. and even then, we're reconnecting, because we don't Know enough of our own culture despite it... being ours.

why. what are we supposed to do with this?

it's not our culture. we don't remember enough about it to know why we know it. if we at least knew that, we could do something with it, but... we don't even have that.

all we want are explanations and answers about this, but none of them make any sense.

looking back, we have vague memories of one of the very old 'hosts' talking to sage about it. we couldn't have been even a teen yet. we have other memories of knowing we were southern indigenous, and not knowing/remembering which culture.

what do we do with this?

i don't think anyone has the answers to that. even if they did, would it matter if they could tell us, or would we have to decide for ourselves? i don't know. none of us know.

[floralbfs]

if i had a nickel for every time someone who has never interacted with my blog liked a post of mine about kuzco being a twink two years after posting it with no tags, i would have two nickels. which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
