Would Disney have been better off making an Othello or Sacagewea (and Lewis and Clark) film instead of Pocahontas?

Keep in mind: my question is based on 90s Disney (not making this as a 2020s film). I think Disney doing Sacagewea (& L&C) would've still had issues with historical/cultural accuracy, but at least Sacagewea was an adult during this time and the idea of a romance between her and the explorers had been brought up before. Or maybe Disney would include her baby and keep her relationship with the men platonic. It'd certainly break the mold for the time. An original fantasy film inspired by the characters would also work, and possibly be less controversial. "Othello" came to mind since "Pocahontas" (as Disney created it) was conceived from the desire to make a starcrossed lovers story, and "Othello" definitely screams renaissance in story potential--plus their first black lead and a scheming Jafar-like villain would've helped.

I remember sitting in every history class thinking “I wonder when a woman will show up. I wonder when we’ll learn about a woman in history. I wonder when we’ll hear about a woman.” There are many important female historical figures. We don’t hear about them because men don’t want us to. Men are not the only ones who shaped this world; but they like to pretend they are.

Check out these GIANT $20 bills I made for the upcoming New Years Eve @reallythefalsies show at @cvillejefferson ! They will accompany a song about getting Hunnies on 20's (like Harriet Tubman) which feels like a PERFECT way to ring in 2020.💸🎉👯‍♀️Also, what a delight it was to bedazzle these inspiring women's faces with glitter!! But oye now there will be green glitter around the house forEVER...🙄✨ . . . #hunnieson20s #20s #twenties #tubman20 #new20dollarbill #newcurrency #badasswomen #inspiringwomen #feminism #harriettubman #sojournertruth #bettyfriedan #sacagewea #thefalsies #therealfakethings #props #scenicskills #glitter #itneedsmoreglitter https://www.instagram.com/p/B6YrYE2FDKN/?igshid=1bcx87jntz1ly

Ok! I suck at math so I have no reason to be here. BUT, this is what I figured out:

A 1 dollar bill, USD, weighs 1 gram.

A 1 dollar coin, the gold Sacagewea coin, weighs 8.1 gram.

1 pound in grams = 453.592 grams.

(I will approximate from here)

1 pound of $1 bills is made of 453.6~ bills

1 pound of the coins is made up of 55.999 or 56ish coins.

Ultimately, the pound of bills values at $453~ while the pound of coins values at about $55~.

I say all this due to the decimals and such. After this I can't really figure out the finer details to this. Hopefully, this helps someone else crunch the numbers.

Guys!

Guys!!

Guys!!!

I think I just came up with an original thought to put out into Tumblr! A logical puzzle that I don't have the answer to myself, but I would LOVE to see people who are much smarter than me think about!

(Inspired by my most recent video on reading comprehension, which contained a debate on is more valuable / practical, $30 in bills or $30 in coins, and me reading the comments under said video!)

You know that silly riddle, which is heavier, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers? (Trick question, they're both a ton.) Well, what I really want to know is...

If you have a pound of $1 bills, and a pound of $1 coins, what is the difference in their total monetary value? Is it a very dramatic difference? What kind of fraction / percentage / ratio would the comparison be?

I rewatched NATM

And I mean, I know objectively that vine wasn't r e a l l y a thing yet but because Jed and Tavi spent a lot of time online I deem it, by laws of reasons (being Jed saying "You can't catch light: it's as elusive as human happiness" hence, Gen Zillenial humor), that they can and would quote vines from compilations out of context

Sacagewea is the first to catch onto the pattern (as she's the only exhibit with multiple braincells to her name) and finds it both confusing and hilarious.

Nick is the only one to understand when he comes by,

Also Teddy picks up some of that Gen Z humor (because he hangs with Nick, and also in the film takes his becoming halved like he was disappointed but not surprised)

At some point Atilla says YEET, crowds cheer, there is a dance party ending because

night at the museum: Kamunrah rises again review

-i was binging the hell out of the night at the museum franchise (I chose to start with Smithsonian museum arc (2) then i’ll end with one). I watched the fourth movie and have many thoughts, as someone who loves this franchise to bits. (If you dont see mentions of the first movie its bc i havent seen it yet from my movie marathon)

1. The timeline is hella off im so confused about it. Nick is in highschool but NATM3 he was going to college?? Laa is there so it can’t be post NATM 2. If it was post NATM3 the best solution to this problem is having the adventure set IN THE UK???

2. I honestly am confused why kamunrah was revived again such a strange character to bring back i mean he was already dead before why bring him back?? (He was so iconic in the 2nd movie. Has funny bits in the fourth but third act bore me sorry) I genuinely wish there was a different bad guy instead

3. Infact i genuinely wish they had a small series for post NATM3 arc wherein its about the British museum rather than our main cast. Theres so much room and potential to introduce interesting historical figures too! Heck even make some of the animal statues talk that would be interesting (i doubt thats possible even with the tablet but shush) (is this an excuse to bring back rebel wilson to be the night guard-maybe Jdjfjsjdk/lh)

4. I love Octavius design he is not ugly to me at all infact he looks amazing in the movie! I love his face and his hair they look good. (I question why Jed is ginger and clean shaven, hes better off looking scruffy and scrappy looking) SIDE NOTE I LOVE THEM ADOPTING A CAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE !! (Their dynamic was off but them being clingy asf to each other made things less unberable)

5. Sacagewea and Joan of arc be lookin fruity in that one scene I see yall HDDJSJ, cute momment too. I love their respective character designs they are very fun plus Sacagewea is more plot relevant for once im glad for that:’D. Ik Joan of Arc wasnt there for the previous movies but my only answer to that plothole is shes also a new exhibit that was installed before NATM4. Or she could be in the British museum AKA AN EXCUSE TO HAVE JOAN AND LANCELOT TO INTERACT BRO THAT WOULD BE COOL

6.i love these movies but NATM4’s final fight scene wasn’t as impactful as the others. No.2 was so fucking good at their fight scenes the characters battling it out with a good amount for both sides, theres different spotlights for the characters even if its one second. The third movie it was more of a chase scene ft. LION STATUES BEING BIG CATS GAHHH<33 and Lancelot identity crisis poor man. This fourth one felt like a fight you see in every cartoon or show, just felt not as creative? Except when Nick destroyed the bird soldiers eye with arrows that was cool.

7. WHY DOES DEXTER NOT LOOK LIKE A CAPUCHIN??? He looks like a generic orange or brown ish monkey. I looked up how they look like irl and they tend to have multi colored fur so his design rlly confused the hell out of me. I genuinely love capuchins bc of dexter and able (choosing them over chimpanze’s just saying)

8.Lightning round bc I RAN OUT OF SPACE: Mia looks cool (wish she was used more in the story), Akmunrah not being there is so saddening, Nick and the bi sticker ™, Fun call back to the subway scene very cute, I love the oil painting joke its corny and useful to the chase, OFFENDED THERES NO BIG ANIMAL IN THE MAM MUSEUM EXCUSE??😭😭 theres always a big boy in there wdym (Rexy, Octopus, Trixie),Comic convention joke was my fave its such a cute moment

Heres some photos yey!! ok im done i spoke too much on this-did not expect such passion over it!!

LARRY KISSED THE MONKE

Also, “Taking that hand now.” GAHH MINITURE BABIES THEY’RE SO SWEET

I finished Secret Of The Tomb! I really like how the ending balances the themes of childlike classic Disney adventure with learning when to let go and how to take care of your children. I’m excited but at the same time a bit afraid for the animated film coming on Disney+ because it’s going to have a younger demographic. Hopefully they won’t go too overboard with the goofy aspect of it.

Although I have a feeling they'll be suppressing Octavius's heavily implied homosexuality for the new one because it's a Disney kids film and you know we can't have gay in a Disney kids film! They really could explore it more though, especially since it's historically accurate with how Roman emperors dated women and men, and it would actually be an interesting way to teach kids about Roman history while also explaining attitudes towards homosexuality in their day in a safe environment.

Also as any Brokeback Mountain fans would know, cowboys would sleep with other men when there were no women around. Just saying, with how Jedidiah and Octavius’s relationship develops throughout the three movies, it would be absolutely hilarious if the fourth movie starts out with Nick freaking out because he can’t find the miniatures, and then they suddenly roll up their toy car:

“Where have you guys been?!”

“On our honeymoon, got a problem with that buckaroo?”

Anyways, now back to your regularly scheduled Tf2 posts! Or maybe not! I’m not sure yet, but I think I might write some Jedtavius fics in the future with added background Sacagewea/Roosevelt cause they are cute as hell.

Under the Moonlight P.3 (Ahkmenrah x reader)

Hey there! So It’s been a while since I updated this series, aka over a year, so please forgive me. Thank you for reading, if you do! I really enjoy this story. I’m thinking there may be one or two parts after this.

The events of the 2nd movie (Battle of the Smithsonian) have been changed, i.e. Abraham Lincoln does not crash through the window at the end. Also, it’s never mentioned how Kahmunrah knows how to speak multiple languages, which bothers me, but I didn’t care enough to create a backstory.

Also, as a reminder, bolded text is spoken in Arabic.

Larry would never freely give the combination to Kahmunrah. The self-proclaimed “Pharaoh” had trapped his friends, sent some of history’s worst bad guys after him, and was an all-around evil bastard. Larry knew he would have to make a deal with the Pharaoh to save his friends, but he wouldn’t give him anything until he knew his friends were safe.

They stood in the centre of the room, arguing over who should hand over their half of the deal first.

Kahmunrah gave Larry an ultimatum, “How about I don't kill you right now, like I really, really want to, and I give you precisely five seconds to give me that tablet and tell me the combination?”

Kahmunrah’s newfound army entered the room at that moment, interrupting the two arguing men. In Al Capone’s hand was a little Einstein bobblehead.

“We already got the combination,” Al Capone exclaimed. “It's pi. –3.14159265.” He flicked the little Einstein, shushing him. “See, Crazy Hair here, he sang. Ho-ho-ho, did he sing! Like a canary.” He held the bobblehead up to Larry like he was showing off a prize.

“I’m sorry, Larry,” the Einstein frowned.

Sensing Larry’s distraction, Kahmunrah jerked the tablet from his arms. He threw the hourglass containing Jed, over his shoulder. “Must be a real bummer for you, Larry, knowing that all of your valiant efforts were, in the end, for naught.” He placed the tablet into his gate, beginning to press in the combination. “What a terrible disappointment you must be to yourself.”

The tablet began to glow, catching the attention of everyone in the room. Kahmunrah smirked as a quiet humming, filled the room.

“Do you hear that humming sound? Do you know what that sound is?” Ivan the Great raised his hand. “It's rhetorical.” He slowly put his hand back down as his fellow soldiers leered at him. “That is the sound of the End.” Kahmunrah began chanting in Egyptian.

As he continued chanting, the gate began to open. It started with the carved sarcophagus coming out of the stone. Then the door turned, revealing the gateway to the underworld. It was bright, and many of the people in the room found themselves shielding their eyes. The Egyptian chanting grew louder as it echoed from the open door.

“Welcome to the new, extended reign of Kahmunrah, Fifth King of Egypt and now the world! Horus, Ra, my warriors, come forth!” Egyptian warriors with bird heads emerged from the gate. “Send Larry Daley and his friends to their doom!” They surrounded Larry, attacking him as commanded.

“Halt,” a voice rang through the room, catching everyone’s attention. “The mighty Octavius has returned! I ride on the back of nature's most fearsome creature! I ride the squirrel! Forward now, my mighty steed!” He urged the squirrel forward, rushing through the feet of the soldier until he stood in front of Kahmunrah. He lifted his sword. “Do you wish to surrender honourably? Or must this end with the spilling of your blood?”

Kahmunrah turned his attention back to Larry. “This… This is your big rescue?”

Another voice rang out, catching everyone’s attention again. “Kahmunrah!”

His face fell when he saw who had interrupted him. He clenched his jaw. “You,” he pointed to a group of his underworld soldiers before gesturing to the people who had just entered, “change of plans. Kill her.”

Y/n stood at the entrance of the room, surrounded by some Egyptian soldiers and the group of New York Exhibits. Amelia Earhart had also arrived with several of the Smithsonian exhibits she and Larry had encountered that day.

Kahmunrah’s underworld soldiers approached the group, their spears aimed at Y/n.

“Stop,” she shouted, and the bird soldiers paused in shock. “I am Y/n, wife of Ahkmenrah, and Kahmunrah is no rightful king.” The birds turned to look at Kahmunrah, and everyone else, although they didn’t understand what was being said, followed their eye line. “He’s a cheat. He killed his brother, the chosen heir to the throne, just before he was to become Pharaoh. My husband, the rightful king, and my child, the future heir, are dead because of him. He is a traitor to Egypt. I ask you now, will you follow me—the once future queen of Egypt—or will you follow the traitor.”

The soldiers looked between the two Egyptian rulers. What she said had truth to it. Kahmunrah, although claiming to be the king of Egypt, had no Egyptian soldiers following him. Y/n had several Egyptian followers. After a minute of deliberation, they all came to the same conclusion. They turned their weapons to Kahmunrah.

Y/n smirked as Kahmunrah’s face morphed into fear. Larry slowly exited the circle that surrounded him and joined his friends.

Y/n stepped forward until she was face to face with Kahmunrah. “You should have known we’d never leave the tablet alone.”

“I was foolishly optimistic.”

Y/n turned to the underworld soldiers. “Your rest should never have been interrupted. Thank you for your service to the crown. You may return to the afterworld, but take this traitor with you.”

“You can’t do this, Y/n,” Kahmunrah snarled as he felt the soldiers grip his arm and pull him towards the gate. “I am a king.”

“You are a traitor, and you’ll find that although Egypt’s soldiers will never harm royalty, traitors are free game.” Y/n watched as the soldiers began dragging him to the gate and disappearing into the underworld. “They’ll do as they’re told.”

When the gate door finally closed, she grabbed the tablet and tucked it under her arm. She turned to the men that had been following Kahmunrah. In perfect English, she said, “Kahmunrah was a traitor to his own people. I suggest next time you chose a leader with more wisdom.” She smiled. “Now, I hope you will all return to whence you came in an orderly manner. I would hate to disturb the underworld a second time; they might be angry.”

The men looked at each other before quickly leaving the room.

The room was silent. Y/n looked around the room, accessing the damage her brother-by-marriage had done to the beautiful space.

Larry was in shock. He was glad she had shown up, but he had no idea who she was or what she wanted. For all he knew, she could be worse than Kahmunrah. He had heard Ahkmenrah’s name come up in the conversation between the Egyptians, but he had no idea what the context was.

The Egyptian soldiers that stood in front of the New York group went to the woman as she called them. Larry took the opportunity to talk with his friends without possibly causing them more harm by disrespecting any of the Egyptians.

“What just happened?” His eyes stayed focused on the group across the way as the woman gave them instructions, pointing to different places in the room.

“That there is Queen Y/n,” Amelia stated. “Quite the powerful lady, I’m not sure we’d have won this without her.”

“Why’d she help us?” Jedediah asked as he climbed out of the hourglass.

Y/n finished instructing her soldiers and made her way towards the group.

“She’s Ahkmenrah’s wife,” Sacagewea whispered.

Several of the exhibits bowed their head when Y/n came to stand in front of them.

“There’s no need for that,” Y/n dismissed. She smiled as she turned her attention to Larry. “Thank you for trying to keep this safe.” She gestures to the tablet in her arms.

“It was no problem, your highness.”

“Please, my name is Y/n.” Larry smiled an apology. “I must ask, though, it seems as if you have experience with the tablet. How have you come to possess it?”

Larry shrugged. “I’ve never really possessed it. It belongs to Ahkmenrah; I’ve just been trying to help protect it.”

Y/n’s eyes widened. “Ahkmenrah?” She quickly scanned the crowd. “Is he here?”

“He’s in New York,” Jedediah said.

“I see,” Y/n said, her face falling slightly. “Then we must go there immediately.”

Larry frowned. It would be costly enough to pay for all the exhibits to return to New York. He didn’t know how much it would cost to add a mummy onto it. He thought back to his journey through the museum. He hadn’t spotted her all night. In fact, all the Egyptian exhibits that he had encountered were in the basement. Perhaps, the Smithsonian wouldn’t notice if a single mummy went missing.

They’d have to move quickly; the sun would be coming up in just a few hours. In less than ten minutes, Larry had guided all the exhibits into a plane, and they were headed back to New York.

So my U.S and World History education was abysmal. The U.S history teaching curriculum is weird, widespread and inconsistent at best. My 5th grade teacher gave me my only decent comprehensive U.S history education. 6th grade was geography, 7th world history.

My 8th grade U.S history teacher was busted for coke and opioid possession (at school) my 9th grade year. So my 8th grade history class consisted of him sitting at his desk fucked up chanting Manifest Destiny or Sacagewea at random intervals. I wish I was lying. 9th grade was a weird mix of geography and a little bit of general social studies. 10th grade we had World Civilisations.

My AP US History (11th Grade) teacher had us watch movies, O Brother Where Art Thou was a common one. He reenacted the KKK scenes in class. Again. I wish I was lying.

I had an AMAZING AP Government teacher and if it wasn't for him, I would honestly be a different person. I loved his class and the way he taught. He allowed us to question things and think for ourselves. To not just parrot the garbage we'd been fed by others. He taught us history too, just not enough to makeup for years of insufficient education.

I've tried college twice and have had to drop both times because it's hard to work 60+ hours a week to pay bills and go to school, plus my parents made too much to qualify for much financial aid, but not enough to save for college. And I burned myself out in high school, I was the 'smart' sibling and the oldest so my mom was really hard on me and put an insane amount of pressure on me to do well. So I never experienced a history class at a college level.

That being said my history education was innaccurate, at best. Most everything we were taught was presented in a way that made the U.S look good, and glazed over the bad shit. I'm not an idiot, i haven't been just walking around with no idea about the history of the country, I've done my best to fill gaps in my education on my own. But this week I spent nearly $200 on books mainly ones focused on black history by black authors, women's history by women authors, and LGBTQ history because those are the areas we weren't really taught much about in school and that's where my biggest gaps are. We studied black history on a biased, whitewashed surface level, and I'm not content with that. We barely touched on women's history and LGBTQ history wasn't ever anything that was discussed (again I'm from Kentucky, so none of that is surprising.)

The educational system, curriculum, and the way history is presented to children in the U.S is a lot of what is wrong with this country. We can't keep history from repeating itself if we don't truly understand what happened the first time.
