pet death, disease

about two years ago we lost a foster kitten. it was a very harrowing experience, when tested we received a faint positive for a dangerous, infectious disease. at the time we had not only her four siblings and young mother in the house but six of our own inside and two we took care of outside. we sanitized every possibly infectious surface, completely got rid of multiple cat trees, steamed our carpets, took every piece of clothing and bedding we had used for months to a laundromat when our own washing machine couldn't keep up. we were almost certain her mother and siblings wouldn't survive long and all we could do was hope ours could. and then nothing happened. her siblings and mother were clear to go to their new homes, none of our cats showed any signs of being unwell, and we concluded that she had died of something else. after she died, while we were still so unsure of the safety of her family and ours, i sat at my computer like i always do when i don't have anything else. i don't know why i thought to, but i searched for a dragon that was born the same day she was. i found one, a tundra that was even black and white like her, and named it after her.

before then, i had not lost a pet since i was around 15-16. im 22 now and in the last five months, ive lost three. all three of them lived long, full, loved lives, and im happy theyre together and no longer in pain. for sydney back in august, i hatched an egg on on the day of his passing, following what i did for gracie in a way.

the last two were the pair we took care of outside, named mommy and baby tabby from when my step mother first found the former taking care of the latter as a kitten and assumed he was her mother. for several reasons - including the fact that even after living around and being fed by humans since she was very young, baby never once let anyone around her if she could help it - my step-mother and father elected to keep them outside while we had to. they were extremely bonded, baby tabby loved mommy more than anything and followed him around constantly. she’d let him eat her food if we didn’t stop him to make sure she ate too, she’d stay nearby while we were petting him even though she never got close, and when he passed back in october we took him an hour from the vet he was put to sleep at all the way home and back just to make sure she could see him one final time and hopefully understand he was gone.

she’s been doing poorly for awhile now and, without going into too much detail, the decision was made to put her to sleep this monday. today i came home from work to my father answering the door to tell me that she had passed. she’s wrapped in a blanket in the garage, curled up in the same bed we carried both sydney and mommy in after they passed. i pet her for the first time today.

the dragons i hatched for mommy three months ago and baby today both have taupe as their primary color. that’s the main thing i wanted to share, just about everything else has spilled out as i sat with her. it’s a nice, fitting color for both their tabby coats, and the fact that they somehow match feels incredible to me.

Okay, so first off, Happy Birthday to your cat!  I hope he got lots of his favorite treats.  Glad to hear that today went as well as can be hoped for you.  And overall today wasn’t too bad here.  We got several big truck deliveries, but when I deal with those I tend to deal less with customers, so it sort of balances itself out.  We’ve been told that we’ll be closing early all week because of the protests, so that’s been ramping the anxiety, but the internet has provided a number of pleasant distractions on my breaks.

Secondly, I would pick Noah for the one that has the second set of twins, for mainly two random reasons; 1) because last time it went Chris, then Noah, so it feels like it should do the same this time, and Chris already had Ben, 2) because it keeps the number of kids per family more balanced- 4 & 3 rather than 2 & 5.  Idk, my brain just gets weird about symmetry and balance in things and I’ve never figured out if it’s an ADD related thing or just a me thing.  Also, the idea of him trying to do his job while pregnant, with Chris and ESPECIALLY Peter trying to be super protective at the same time is just amusing to me.

And actually, thinking about that and the preview for the next chapter made me think of a couple things that didn’t make it into my reviews.  When/how/from whom did Chris learn about the fire? Did Gerard or Kate tell him in a gloating sort of way and kind of tip him off that something was hinky about it, or was it through other hunter contacts, so the thought of outside involvement came later?  

Was he still pregnant with Ben, or was it later on?  Did he contact anyone in Beacon Hills about it for further info at any point before he showed back up in town?  Because I was trying to think about some of the things that could turn up later for angst (why I was doing that to myself is anyone’s guess, but here we are…) and it occurred to me that if Noah was going to have any lingering upset over Chris leaving it would most likely (to me) be from the time right after the fire.  

He’s just lost Claudia, and went off the rails from it, but at least he had Peter, and Laura, and the other Hales.  Now Peter is in a coma, Laura’s left town, and the rest of his adopted/found family is dead.  He has no idea where Chris is, or if he’s safe from whoever did this (does he know about what happened between Chris and Peter before Chris left again?, and he’s dealing a set of even more heavily traumatized twins right now.  I feel like even the most understanding person is gonna have some stuff to work through there.  (Also, Jesus, poor Melissa [possibly for multiple reasons])

Uhhh…sorry to send things into a drama tailspin there for a moment.  Allow me to try and brighten things back up with the original impetus for me to make this a submission and not an ask; because you mentioned X-Men Halloween costumes and I have Thoughts.  *takes super deep breath*  Because omg, yes, so very many options.  

Side note - I would be so happy if someone dressed as Nightcrawler.  He is my precious fuzzy elfin bb, and I love him to bits and get so tired of him getting left out of things (looking at you Funko.)  I feel like Stiles or Peter have the best attitude match (maybe, MAYBE Jackson), but don’t know if anyone would want to deal with the amount of makeup involved.  But, anyway, just, the possibilities.  

Stiles telling Malia she can’t just take the easy way out by going as Wolfsbane, so she takes one of her old white A New Hope Leia dresses and cuts it down into an old school Mystique costume. 

 Peter pulling rank and telling Derek he’s the Alpha so he gets to be Wolverine (this even works better height-wise [I didn’t realize you didn’t know their approximate heights.  I’d looked them up before for…reasons.  Having seen them standing next to each other repeatedly, I’m pretty sure any actual height advantage Ian has comes strictly from his hair], although when Stiles points this out he earns himself a hell of a glare.)  

Naturally that means Chris has to be Cyclops, because, well, calm and serious.  Noah realizes this means they expect him to be Jean Grey.  (N: “Why can’t I ever be a character that wears normal pants?!” C: “Well I have to be the boring one all the time” P: “I mean, you are the closest to a telepath of the three of us.  Don’t you want us mock fighting over you?” N: “…if we do this I get my pick of the Phoenix costumes.”)  

Stiles and Noah trying to fight over getting to be Gambit so they can do exploding playing cards, but getting told they can’t be Gambit unless they can do the accent correctly (Gambit isn’t Gambit if he’s not Cajun, that’s just how it is, I don’t make the rules.)  While part of me thinks it’d be funny to see Jackson as Nightcrawler because of the tail thing, I think Stiles would be more entertaining.  

He’d make little smoke bomb things to fake the sulfur and brimstone effect of his teleporting.  All the family members with enhanced senses would HATE him because they STANK something fierce, and it LINGERED.  But anytime one of them tried to tackle him to get them away, he’d yell “BAMF!” throw on to the floor and run like hell.  

Jackson would be Iceman so he could make it a crossover costume with the character from Top Gun so he could wear aviators and a leather bomber with his outfit.  Allison could dress like Shadowcat from the early Excalibur run, and she could see if Ben would dress up as Lockheed with her (because that would be adorable).  

Derek would decide that if he can’t be Wolverine and glare angrily at people the whole time, he’ll be Colossus so he can just stare with silent disappointment the whole time.  Scott would decide he wants to be Cable (because “…he just looks so cool…”), so Melissa and Chris would dig through their old hunter gear to help him make his costume.  

Melissa could be Jubilee, and rig up little flash bangs to fake the plasma bursts (unlike Noah she has absolutely no qualms about proving that she can still rock a pair of short shorts.)  Lydia would either be Rogue to show off that SHE at least can manage a believable accent, or Emma Frost for the looks that costume would gain her from Allison.  

Alternatively; both sets of twins argue over who gets to be Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, so they decide that one pair will do the classic comic version, and one will do either the Evolution cartoon version or the MCU version (though they are allowed to switch out the Quicksilver for the other film version if they choose).  

Lydia claims Mystique instead (it’s tempting to make her Banshee, but that seems a bit TOO on the nose), or maybe one of the other Phoenix looks (when I say Phoenix looks I mean Jean’s Phoenix or Dark Phoenix suit from the comics, because I LOVE that outfit), and Ben dresses as Beast (because that would also be adorable).  *finally stops to take another breath*  …umm…so anyway, yeah, as a perennial X-men fan I think it’s safe to say I love this idea, and am so grateful for you putting it in my head…  …sorry about the wall of text, I may have got a little carried away…  …again…

I loved every single sentence of this wall of text, so never apologize. (Although I did break it up a little before posting because that makes it easier to read for other people.

I think all of my ideas for the middle of this fic where either based on questions you, or @artemisa97​ asked me in reviews. So honestly, keep them coming if you want to ask them. They help me determine where the problem areas are, what kind of kinks I need to work out, so honestly, even the sad ones are a great help.

And yeah, I hadn’t looked up their heights yet, I just assumed Peter and Chris were a bit bigger than Noah, but I was delightfully wrong!

I do have one more gem to share, a height comparison of some of the boys and to show you just how tiny Ben is compared to the others.

Blue - Noah (182 cm / 6 ft)

Purple - Chris (177 cm / 5′10)

Red - Peter (178 cm / 5′10)

Yellow - Derek (183 cm / 6 ft)

Green - Ben (111 cm / 3′8)

Turquoise - Jackson (170 cm / 5′7)

Ben’s height is about average for someone between the age of 5 & 6, Jackson’s height is a little on the short side, but I’d imagine that he’d still grow a little until he’s like 20 and end up being around 175/176 cm.

I’d imagine Stiles to be a little taller around 172 cm, Allison is a little shorter at 165 cm and Malia is around 168 cm. (They will all still grow a bit, averaging between 173 (Allison) and 178 (Stiles) )

And the one thing I will say about whether or not Noah gets the twins, without getting too spoilery, or maybe it is, I’m sorry if it is but I can’t help not share.

Is that eventually both Noah and Chris have the same amount of kids from Peter. And one of them has twins. I’m still debating on names, in the deleted scene I named them Mikhail and Adeline, I currently have different names picked out. 

And I think the balance thing is ADD related, because I had the same issue with planning the story XD. So yeah, Peter gets to have a lot of kids, and adopt a lot more into the pack, because Season 2 is kinda canon in this universe, in the sense that Isaac, Erica, and Boyd are still turned. Kira comes along, and of course Lydia. Considering what I have planned for Danny and Mack, I might add them to the pack as well.

And omg I LIVE for those X-men costume ideas <3 Omg. I love it. Considering Stiles’ abilities he would definitely be Nightcrawler and would probably use a quick spell or two to get the makeup in place. (A druid invented this fantastic spell to always get eyeliner on fucking point and shared it in their spellbook. Spoiler alert; said druid was Noah in his teenage punk years. Turns out, it works for other makeup too.)

And I’m in fucking love with all of these ideas actually, I can’t really say which I like more.

BNHA Chpater 177 & 178: Thoughts and Spoilers

Alright, I really haven’t been meaning to do these double chapter reviews, but I’ve been busy. Unfortunately I will remain busy for the next 3-4 weeks. I will try to get out posts of manageable size or possibly just post more diverse content but I’ll figure that out later. For now, let’s get right into these chapters.

Old man with awesome, blocky character design saw the tail end of the accident and is surprisingly chill with it. La Brava tries to throw him off by saying they are just filming something (with a land of quirks, minor explosions could legitimately just be written off as something normal). Despite this, La Brava knows the ruse won’t last long and wants Gentle to retreat. Deku and Gentle are in a “stand” off in the construction site, and they strike up a conversation. Gentle still wants to continue with the operation and Deku wants to know what he plans to do. La Brava eventually gets there and believes that Gentle is “begging for his life.” As the conversation geos on, Gentle just digs himself a bigger hole while trying to barter his way out of the situation. I say that like he is putting in genuine effort but really he’s saying “nah we won’t ruin the festival, we’ll get in without setting off the alarms and everyone wins.” When they realize neither side will budge, the fight really begins.

Gentle makes the whole construction site elastic, and is bouncing around so erratically that Deku can’t predict how Gentle will move. Gentle gets a pot shot or two off on Deku and loosens a girder that may fall on the old guy who is still around watching the “movie.” Deku intervenes and catches the falling girder (damn, like even with One for All Full Cowl, Deku is really getting jacked). Deku is appalled by this action but Gentle says he really wasn’t planning on hitting the old man, but he knew that the hero wouldn’t be able to take that chance. Even though Deku is jacked, it takes a lot of effort to hold the girder, and Gentle takes this opportunity to put some distance between them and head towards UA. The scene then cuts to what is happening at UA.

The band is nervous (Bakugou hasn’t put on the Class 1-A band shirt yet), the dancers are in their costumes, and Aoyama is in his hero suit (probably easier to handle his quirk that way). Several of them are taking not of the fact that Deku hasn’t come back yet. 15 minutes until the start of the festival.

Gentle has launched himself and La Brava towards the school, and Deku pulls off a rad move. Lifts the girder above his head with one arm, and with the free arm lets off a finger flick shock wave after the two airborne criminals. They manage to dodge, but they are both worried by his persistence and La Brava feels like she may have to use her quirk. Dun dun daaaaaa! Cliff hanger ending. The only good thing about these double chapter posts is I can step right over some cliff hangers.

We start with more festival happenings. Class 1-B is there meeting Kendo who is not participating in their mega-movie-mashup play because she is in the beauty pageant. Monoma is making fun of her a bit but there might be a compliment hidden in there somewhere? Kendo and Nejire show some great sportsmanship and hope the best for each other. Then that other girl that Nejire mentioned some chapters ago who won last year shows up, her name is excessively long so I’ll call her Eyelashes. Eyelashes is confident. We see Mirio, Aizawa, and everyone’s favorite, Eri (well at least mine, and I will fight you on that), are in a taxi headed to UA, and Eri is excited to see Deku. Honestly, Eri just needs to be adopted right now. Hatsume is ready for her robotics exhibit. All Might and Midnight are talking about how Deku got a permission slip to go off campus to buy some last minute supplies.

Deku gets out from under the girder successfully and continues his pursuit after he left sufficient evidence for the next person that something weird has happened here (put some rods on one of Gentle’s midair trampolines). Gentle tells La Brava not to use her quirk, not yet, it is for the escape. Deku switches into ultra high alert mode and Gentle is shocked that Deku closed so much space so quickly. Gentle puts up a barrier between them, and here is what I mean by ultra high alert mode: Deku remembered the placement of the trampolines as Gentle made a safe landing, and uses them to propel himself forward so quickly that Deku is behind the two of them hardly before either can react. Unfortunately, Gentle does react and puts up another barrier. Fortunate Deku is so freaking smart that he bounces the shock wave off the  first barrier in an incredible bank shot that gets around their defenses and knocks Gentle to the ground. Deku switches around and pounces on the two of them and manages to restrain them with his Full Cowl strength (like I know he’s jacked with a powerful quirk, but Deku, a freshman in high school, is restraining a full grown man with one hand and maybe a leg. Gym goals). As this happens, we see some La Brava back story.

She was a recluse. She at least finished middle school, maybe high school(?), but was crushed by the insensitive rudeness of someone she genuinely liked. It went beyond insensitive and calling her a stalker, but because of the framing of the back story, we aren’t totally sure if that is a valid comment or not, I’ll let y’all decide based on your own opinions of Brava. While she was a recluse, she stumbled upon a video made by Gentle, and she was immediately attached to him. We’ve already seen how she approached him, out of the blue saying that she was a huge fan, but we also see a bit of slice of life. Making tea, working a camera, teaching Gentle how to use the internet, running from cops, you know, normal things. We even see that Gentle changed his style to match La Brava’s, but this I mean he just straight up sharpied his eyes to match La Brava’s eyeliner (at least I believe it was a sharpie, I don’t think eyeliner comes in marker shape but I don’t know). In the present, Deku says he is going to turn them in right this instant, and La Brava takes this opportunity to tell Gentle that she loves him. And her quirk activates.

Love. As simple and metaphorical (and maybe a bit cheesy) as it is, La Brava’s power allows her to infuse power into a person she loves. Gentle has been granted a boost of strength equivalent to how much La Brava loves him, and with this strength, Gentle frees himself and Brava from beneath Deku and goes onto the offensive. Gentle is giving off smoke that we had seen before when he was first introduced, and I’ll be honest, I do love it when a character has so much strength that they radiate it in some way, smoke, aura, electricity, etc. Gentle has heart smoke. Gentle flipped Deku like a pancake and goes to knock him out with a chop to the neck, saying “love always wins.” Deku is curled on the ground, but he blocked the chop with his arm, Deku ain’t having none of that love power-up BS, he isn’t gonna let a trope defeat him. Deku will not only twist fate, but he will destroy tropes as they come at him. Deku has a shock wave attack ready and is very much still in the fight.

So here are my thoughts. I am worried about this fight. I have no doubt that Deku can win, but with the power up, I’d say that Gentle has quite a bit of physical strength over Deku right now. Sure Deku isn’t using all his strength, but he limits himself to prevent physical injury. at this point, I don’t think Deku is getting out of this without a broken something, and a broken anything is gonna keep him from participating in the festival. I am also concerned about how Deku is reacting to his shock wave attacks. After each one he noticeably lets out a grunt or there is some sound effect about throbbing pain. I think the gloves might be keeping his hands functioning, but he is putting too much strength into it and is hurting himself already. But let’s say Deku gets back up, because that old man may have called for help. Deku getting back up is the best case scenario, it means that he may not have to injure himself drastically to win, but the risk is that his back up is heroes from UA, which means that even though nothing occurred on campus, they may still cancel the festival. Best-best case scenario is Deku gets back up, Gentle is suppressed, and the heroes take advantage of the fact that nothing happened on campus and they let Deku run on over to Class 1-A where they dance and party and the school no longer hates them and Eri is there and Deku’s mom or Aizawa agree to take Eri on as their adopted daughter and everyone is happy and Shigaraki turns himself in and Deku becomes the symbol of peace. But that is the best-best case scenario.... I’d be happy with about half of those things.

I also want to discuss Gentle’s and La Brava a bit. I really like their dynamic a lot, I think La Brava may be obsessive, so that the guy she had a crush on years ago may have had a point in the “stalker” comment, but her intense adoration meshes incredibly well with someone like Gentle who want’s his name carved into history. I believe their relationship is pure (I’m only saying that because I’ve seen one or two posts where people are weired out with their relationship) and it takes the form of an intense fan and a celebrity. La Brava genuinely loves him and is grateful to be with him at all, she is grateful that he pulled her out of her recluse life style and “accepted her as who she was.” And Gentle feels similarly, he is greatly appreciative to La Brava and her devotion, he was something like a starving artist who finally found a critic/person who supported his work. They understand that without each other, both of them would be much worse off in the world. They are lifting each other up and supporting each other, and reading their backstories, I can’t help but feel attached and root for them. It also goes beyond that a bit for me, because neither of them seem like bad people. Their motives are love and justice (maybe fame), however the injustice they fight is in a hard place for the law. Some of the previous villains (Stain) were obviously bad people, but they had a point, others are obviously bad people who don’t seem to have any redeemable point to their actions (most of the rest), however Gentle and La Brava fall under neither of these categories for me. Gentle has seen a genuine problem with the heroes conduct and wants to act to change it, making his name known in the process (the fame part is the only thing that gives me genuine worry). But they----

I was about to say they weren’t bad people, but I’ve been burned in the past with theories like who is good and bad (I didn’t trust Mirio at first and I turned on Aoyama immediately). In truth we don’t really know what they plan to do at UA. I don’t want to say with total authority that he won’t do anything major, just cause some distress in the media and cause trust issues between the public and UA. I still feel that Gentle and La Brava have a good and pure relationship, but I will remain cautious about what they plan to do at UA.

So that is about it. I apologize for writing that last paragraph only to cut away and say something different. I realized during my writing it that swearing by these villains intentions may have consequences. For now I think of them as some lovable goofs with good intentions. I thought about deleting that thought paragraph, but that wouldn’t really be genuine, it was stream of conscious in a way (though I really hate stream of conscious in literature). Thank you for reading this big post, if y’all have suggestions besides “stay on top of it,” I would appreciate some tips on how to manage a blog properly.But for now, during my busy weeks I’ll leave it as is. So thank you for reading and following and in general working through my scattered thoughts. I hope you have a great day.

Solving Insurance Problems

Solving Insurance Problems It’s common for an insurance company to need the proper information from the insured to determine who has insurance for their product in addition to proof of insurance. When the insured gets a letter or telegram from the insurance company stating their identity, they may be asked to prove their identity through a DMV application. It’s a violation of law. An insurance company cannot legally insure your vehicle when the policy you purchase states that you have full right to deny coverage. In order to comply with that law, will be required in order to reinstate coverage. Depending on your location the insurance company may not want to insure you if you have insurance with them. This is where the DMV could prove your identity. If they were using their licensed agents as an insurance company, they would be able to obtain coverage from your insurer. They could also use a DMV application to file. If your new insurance company can find themselves without your policy before doing so the next time, they could charge you more.

How much car insurance do I need?

How much car insurance do I need? Insurance companies look at a lot of different factors when determining your rate.

However, if the death benefit isn’t very high, or if the premiums are too high to cover the funeral cost, then you can consider your policies’ options. Most companies won’t pay for a suicide as long as the policy is valid.  Some policies will pay for people who intentionally kill themselves.  Some will allow the policyholder to pass away from accidental death.  You can talk to your insurance company about your options.  Some will have policies specifically for people who are terminally ill or those who have been in a long-term vegetative condition.  People often use life insurance in this.

Collision coverage does not automatically pay for the loss of a car because the at-fault driver is covered. All drivers.

Epic Movie (Re)Watch #177 - The Emperor’s New Groove

Have I seen it before: Yes

Did I like it then: Yes.

Do I remember it: Yes.

Did I see it in theaters: Yes.

Was it a movie I saw since August 22nd, 2009: No.

Format: DVD

1) With the benefit of hindsight, The Emperor’s New Groove is seen as the first film to be released post Disney Renaissance. Financially speaking it performed weaker than most Disney animation films of the Renaissance period (The Little Mermaid to Tarzan), a trend which would continue for a large junk of the 2000s. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE FILM WAS POORLY RECEIVED BY CRITICS; currently on Rotten Tomatoes the film has an 85% fresh rating, and I personally love it (which will be reflected in this recap).

2) Opening on Llama Kuzco is actually a unique opening.

It is a markedly different opening from most Renaissance films which would have a big grand opening number of sorts and surprisingly somber in imagery considering the film which is about to follow. That doesn’t mean it isn’t filled with wild amounts of humor though, something else the film will show off.

3) “Perfect World” - as an opening number/scene to Kuzco and his life - works for a number of reasons.

(GIF originally posted by @lovethaws)

For one thing, it shows off what is without a doubt this film’s strongest quality and that it is INCREDIBLE energy which seeps through the entire thing. Everything is kinetic, lively and fun. It is almost impossible not to enjoy what you’re watching because of this energy which breathes off of EVERY moment of this film (a testament to the entire filmmaking team). But even beyond that it introduces us to Kuzco’s egotism (“This perfect world begins and ends with ME!���) and the world built around it, things which will be very important moving forward.

4) This film is so freaking funny.

5) Okay, whenever I see the scene with Kuzco’s brides this is all I can think of:

Thanks Tumblr.

6) David Spade as Kuzco.

Spade is able to bring everything that Kuzco needs to life. His ego, his humor, and - when needed - his heart/warmth. Spade is able to make Kuzco’s lines jump off the page, with each one funnier than the next. The energy which the animators bring to the character Spade matches with his voice, making for a perfect union of actor, script, and animation team. All in all, it makes Kuzco a wildly fun protagonist to follow.

7) So many of these notes are just gonna be amazing lines from this film.

8) Eartha Kitt as Yzma.

Honestly, while David Spade is great as Kuzco, it is the villains who steal the show in this film. Namely: Eartha Kitt as Yzma. A wildly stellar villain, the energy from Kitt’s voice tops even Spade’s (and THAT is saying something). She embraces the cartoonish villainy and the funny wholeheartedly, making Yzma a wildly enjoyable and fun villain. In tandem with the filmmaking team, Kitt helps give Yzma a wildly strong personality and character. Everything about her is unique and fun, increasing the enjoyability of the film tenfold. Yzma is a freaking star!

9) Part of the fun of Yzma though is that she brings along her second hand man Kronk into the picture.

Played by Patrick Warburton, I honestly have no idea who the bigger scene stealer is: Yzma or Kronk. I’m inclined to say Kronk though, because holy cow Kronk is awesome. For me (and I think many others who grew up on this film), Patrick Warburton’s most iconic role will always be Kronk. It’s the first time I heard the actor’s tailor-made-for-animation voice and it fits just so perfectly with the character. It’s his magnum opus, I think. Kronk is a lovable dimwit at the trope’s finest, with pretty much every moment of screen time amounting to pure gold. He’s technically a villain, but we as the audience are never particularly rooting against him. Totally lovable and just a laugh riot, I do think Kronk helps make this film as freaking fun as it is.

10) John Goodman as Pacha.

In a lot of ways, Pacha is the beating heart of this film. The warmest character, the kindest character, and the moral compass for Kuzco, Goodman is able to bring all these qualities to the character and the animation also reflects this. The pair of Pacha and Kuzco have a fun chemistry, because even when they’re at odds we’re invested in that relationship. All in all (and I’ve said this a few times about a few characters), The Emperor’s New Groove wouldn’t be the same without Pacha.

11) I never caught Yzma’s last line in this exchange before.

Yzma [after Kuzco fires her]: “How could he do this to me? Why, I practically raised him!”

[She smashes a bust of Kuzco.]

Kronk: “Yeah, you would’ve thought he’d turn out better.”

Yzma: “Yeah, go figure.”

12) Am I wrong in thinking some jokes from this film are just totally iconic now?

(GIF originally posted by @fly-away-when-things-get-crazy)

13) I love how Yzma’s first plan is all crazy complicated - like that of a Bond villain’s - before she just goes, “eh, let’s poison him.”

14) The dinner scene.

Comparatively speaking, the dinner scene is probably the slowest of the film. But it works because of that reason. The more paced humor and occasional awkwardness (like when Yzma and Kuzco are waiting for Kronk to bring back his spinach puffs) is right up there with the film’s wilder scenes. It also helps flesh out Kronk by showing off his abilities as a cook.

14.1) At one point in the dinner, Kronk - forgetting which drink is poisoned - poisons all the drinks and tells Yzma so she doesn’t drink. Yzma then throws the poisoned drink into a nearby cactus. But when after Kuzco starts turning into a llama, we get a look at the cactus again by Yzma’s side. Did you ever notice what happened to the cactus?

15) Not only is Kronk singing his own theme music hilarious, but at least partially improvised. According to IMDb:

Patrick Warburton improvised when Kronk hummed his own theme song when he was carrying Kuzco in the bag to the waterfall. Disney legal department had Warburton to sign all rights to the humming composition over to them.

16) One of the cleverest jokes in the film (and that is saying something) are Kronk’s shoulder angel and devil.

While surprisingly brief, like the rest of the film it carries with it an incredible energy. The back and forth between the shoulder angel and shoulder devil is wildly clever, making the whole moment just fun.

17) The whole film is pretty much a madcap comedy for the first twenty minutes, but it slows down when it matters. Specifically, with Pacha and his family. As mentioned above, Pacha is the beating heart of this film and giving the audience the time to get invested in him and his life helps not only to raise his stakes but also give the heart a little more of a pulse.

18) I just need to take a moment to appreciate that KUZCO STOPS THE FREAKING MOVIE to remind us its about him!

19) This is when the chemistry between Kuzco and Pacha really starts to shine, when they’re able to bicker with each other.

Pacha [after he’s accused of turning Kuzco into a llama then kidnapping him]: “Why would I kidnap a llama!?”

Kuzco: “I have no idea! You’re the criminal mastermind, not me!”

Pacha: “WHAT!?”

Kuzco: “Hmmm, you’re right. That’s giving you WAY too much credit.

They’re not holding back anymore. There’s no more forced respectfulness from Pacha since Kuzco is the emperor, their conflict is able to shine through and that’s what makes it fun to watch.

20) The jungle scene is a continuation of the film’s fun. It’s born from Kuzco’s fear and a darker tone than say the palace, while still being mixed with that wild mayhem we’ve come to expect from this film.

21) This. Freaking. Moment.

22) I’m actually surprised by the subtlety of this foreshadowing Maybe I only think it’s subtle because I didn’t see it as a kid though.

Pacha: “You know what: someday you’re going to end up all alone and you’ll have no one to blame but yourself.”

23) This is very telling of Pacha.

(GIF originally posted by @animated-disney-gifs)

Pacha [holding his hand out to Kuzco after making a deal]: “Don’t shake unless you mean it.”

He’s a trustworthy guy. He sees the best in people and to him a handshake is the ultimate agreement. To go back on a handshake would be below awful. It is this kindness that allows Kuzco - at times - to manipulate Pacha but also lets the audience care for him.

24) The bridge scene.

(GIF originally posted by @aboutaseven)

First of all, I think the way the characters hang from the ropes for their brief fight scene is pretty creative. Their suspension from this ties leads to some unique visuals as opposed to them just having it out on the bridge. But more than that, after the ropes break we see them working together to save themselves. This is both fun and helps form the basis of the friendship to come. Not to mention Kuzco saves Pacha from a crumbling bridge.

(GIF originally posted by @2000ish)

25) I love this film, but I can’t help but wondering if there’s a deeper reason for Kuzco’s selfishness and apathy we never get a look at. Is it just because he was raised being told he was the beginning and end of a perfect world, or is it more than that? Kuzco’s parents ARE gone and he’s only 17/18 in the film. Could that have something to do with it?

26) Okay, let’s recap: Kronk is an evil henchman who cooks, has his own theme music, a pair of shoulder figures, is a bird watcher, and talks to squirrels.

(GIF originally posted by @animated-disney-gifs)

Kronk is amazing.

27) Mudka’s Meat Hut.

The extended sequence in the restaurant works for a number of reasons. For one thing it’s a nice bonding moment between Kuzco and Pacha, while the fact that Yzma and Kronk show up at the same place at the same time leads to some great comedy (particularly when Kuzco and Yzma are trying to both take orders from Kronk, which feels very “Abbott & Costello” to me in the best way possible).

All in all, it’s wildly funny. And ends in a glorious fashion.

28) And THIS is what sends Kuzco back to the start.

Kuzco [overhearing Kronk, after ditching Pacha]: “No one really seems to care that he’s gone, do they.”

Except narrator Kuzco is now different from the actual Kuzco. Our Kuzco - at this point in the film - finally sees how awfully he messed up. How much of a total egotistical jerk he was. So much so he tries to live as a llama. That alone shows that he’s resigned to his fate. He was a crummy person, so he thinks he deserves to be a llama.

29) This freaking movie...

Yzma [after being locked in a closet]: “Tell us where the talking llama is and we’l burn your house to the ground.”

Kronk: “Don’t you mean or?”

Yzma: “UGH! Tell us where the talking llama is OR we’ll burn your house to the ground.”

30) And then what is definitely a contender for funniest scene in the film.

31) I keep laughing as I’m typing up this recap!

(GIFs originally posted by @kpfun)

32) Did I mention this film is hysterical?

(GIF source unknown [if this is your GIF please let me know].)

33) The ensuing chase through Kuzco’s palace is very fun. It continues the madcap energy the film has been showing off well, with the added device of Kuzco’s ever changing animal form adding a nice dose of humor and creative conflict.

(GIF originally posted by @animated-disney-gifs)

34) Hmmm, how could this film get any crazier? I know...

(GIFs originally posted by @animation-edits)

I know. How about we have the main villain turn into a cat at the end! I love it.

35) I mean, it’s a Disney movie so it’s not totally surprising that this happened, but I still smile every time Kuzco decides to save Pacha over the potion.

36) Sometimes I’m just baffled by the fact that this movie exists. In a good way.

37) I’m a sucker for a good bromance.

Pacha [after Kuzco says he’s not building his summer home on their hilltop]: “You know, I’m pretty sure I heard some singing on the hill next to use. In case you’re interested.”

The fact that the film ends with Kuzco appreciating smaller things and becoming a member of Pacha’s family in a lot of ways makes me smile.

The Emperor’s New Groove is amazing. It is just a wild ride of comedic brilliance and sheer joy/fun. You have to grab on by both hands and prepare for the craziest things to happen, which is where the fun comes from. With a talented voice cast (such as David Spade, John Goodman, and ESPECIALLY the pair of Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton) and animation which reflects the energy/heart of the film, The Emperor’s New Groove is just a greatly enjoyable film from beginning to end.

8 Big Culture Shock Problems for International Teachers in China

There are lots of methods which China amazes us. It is among the few locations left, specifically in the cities, where westernization has actually not happened the extent that it has in several various other areas of the world. To most visitors, there countless aspects of China that will absolutely be unanticipated, and also in some cases offending. After 4 years of staying in China, points that at first triggered me to wince, currently barely phase me. Below are a few points that may stun you also. Contamination It is noticeable that China is one of one of the most contaminated country on earth. Take a look at any type of sort of leading 10 checklist of polluted cities and additionally you will generally discover a pair from China. Linfen has actually topped most listings for a number of years. It makes Dickensian London appearance superb, as Wikipedia states! Lots of travelers are aghast at merely exactly how negative it could be, particularly in a few of the larger cities. When you fly throughout the nation, there is normally a perpetual sea of grey smoke here the airplane. However, the newest World Health Company stats expose that there are cities in several different other countries that are currently even worse, especially Iran, India, and also Pakistan. Yet China is beginning to working from cleaning up the mess. The highways are hectic with electric scooters and bikes, along with low-level lights might be seen almost everywhere. Recycling refers program considering that absolutely nothing goes to throw out. Leave a thing of cardboard beside a garbage can as well as it will disappear within the human resources! Throughout the cities as well as smaller communities, there are weigh terminals where cash is paid on the basis of weight for any recyclable products. I think with time, the scenario will certainly improve. I talk my pupils preventing to college that their generation is the one that will definitely have the capacity to manage the trouble. I truly believe they will! Personal area or lack thereof! There more than 1 billion individuals in this nation. There are currently 177 cities with a people of even more than one million. Despite precisely how you look into it, that is a whole lot of people. This creates masses of mankind at any kind of kind of major city or vacationer site. With many individuals, personal area has actually gone away. Do not be stunned to be pressed and also shoved wherever you go. If there is one inch of area in a schedule, somebody will butt in. Youngsters find out at a young age to press their method via teams! Hopping on buses, hailing a taxi, boarding metros ... these might all be a demanding experience for tourists. It is a canine consume TESOL when it entails transport. If you do not press your weight around, you won't obtain anywhere. I'm no unpracticed and I have in fact been known to press older people out of the method to get a taxicab. Some call it disrespect. We call it survival! Spewing This is most definitely the bane of many immigrants in China. I can not truly assert anything good concerning it! Individuals of any kind of ages as well as from all occupation spit routinely within along with outdoors. I have seen well-dressed firm males and also ladies gushing equally as large a deposit as country lower income property owners. I do unknown exactly how this started however it has to finish. Seemingly, there are a number of plans in place that are suggested to minimize this regular yet it appears to be lugging on customarily as for I might inform. Smoking. It had not been as long ago that you might smoke throughout North America. Other countries, including China, are simply behind when it concerns trying to remove this routine. You will certainly still discover taxis so packed with smoke you could hardly breathe. Do not be scared to ask cab driver to place out their cigarettes or just avoid taxi with smoking motorists. As well as do not be shocked if you are made use of a cigarette when you get in in addition to take a seat. it is rather normal. Dining establishments along with bars synchronize as they took advantage of to be a couple of decades ago in Canada along with the United States. Do not anticipate to discover great deals of non-smoking facilities. Nonetheless, you will not see numerous, if any, Chinese ladies cigarette smoking in public. It is taken into consideration as unladylike by the remainder of the populace. Split trousers Ok, travelers will certainly wonder exactly just what's with all the bare-assed children along with youngsters they will certainly see around the nation. Non recyclable baby diapers are a rather brand-new principle here. Along with normal infant diapers do not exist in a large means. Rather, all the children and likewise young children have pants that are divided in the crotch in addition to behind. This provides the capability to poop and pee simply about anywhere at anytime. And also they do! When they have to go, they should go. Mother and fathers increase them up as well as hold them over bloom pots, splits in the pavement, areas of grass in addition to nearly anything else that you could consider, both indoors and outdoors. For immigrants that have actually never ever seen this formerly, the actions vary from shock to overall disgust. Squatty potties It is continuously a shock to discover that some visitors still do not comprehend that the western commode, as a great deal of us comprehend around, is quite much non-existent below. Chinese, normally, think it is unhygienic to make use of a seat that another individual's base has rested on. As a result, the squat toilet, nowadays a contemporary porcelain part established into the floor covering. You put one foot on each side, squat meticulously along with do your point. It's sort of like entering the lumbers, yet doing it in a washroom inside your home. In a great deal of Chinese hotel lobbies as well as superb restaurants, these washrooms are rather tidy. However look into one in the center of the evening at a club or bar and also it is a numerous photo. The majority of hotels have western shower rooms nevertheless several western dining establishments in the cities don't. Do not anticipate to find routine bathrooms at locations like MacDonald's or KFC. The one area that a fantastic, clean western bathroom is made sure is Starbucks or the entryway halls of superior worldwide resort chains. Lastly, on this subject, bring your own cells. Several Chinese bathrooms do not have any type of commode paper. Even our school washrooms do not. I have never ever before fairly found out the variable for this odd tailor-made. Food and eating facilities I did not include this as a result of that travelers despise the food. A lot of the food right here is a few of the tastiest you will certainly eat throughout the world. I included it in my checklist as a result of that there many immigrants that dislike a few of the much more exotic foods such as donkey, serpent, pet meat, hen feet, various bugs, bull penis, fowl testicles as well as odiferous tofu. Ok, the last one I could not also birth to scent yet the rest I have in fact attempted. Today I just discovered a brand-new meal made from cats in addition to snakes called Dragon as well as additionally Tiger! As well as don't think twice to take in the street food, in spite of exactly what you think. It is several of the most inexpensive in addition to a lot of scrumptious food in the nation and also the choice is limitless. When it includes alcohol, a great deal of the beers are wonderful, additionally if they are a bit lower on alcohol material as compared to the common North American beer. Where you lose on alcohol, you win on rate. A great deal of beer and wine is exceptionally affordable as well as likewise great deals of dining facilities allow you to bring your personal containers in. The wine is hit-or-miss as well as set you back does not seem a controling aspect. I have actually had economical bottles that are terrific along with a lot more costly ones that are not. Like anywhere, with a little taste testing occasionally, you might locate something that will certainly match your palette. The across the country mixture is Baijou, basically gewurztraminer. White lightning is a great deal more like it! It is made from sorghum, has to do with 55% evidence, and tastes fouler as compared to a few of the worst "hooch" I have ever had. Chinese males drink it like water at firm lunch occasions along with consistently have one "inverted" after an additional. If you can come up to the opening of the container, and also drink it, you are a better specific as compared to me. It tastes equally as poor as it scents. It is possible to acquire a small bottle for less as compared to a dollar nonetheless you can invest hundreds. Evidently, the costly stuff is better; I personally have actually not seen any type of difference in the ones I have been unfortunate sufficient to taste! Having claimed all that, friends of mine have actually been acknowledged to take in alcohol a great deal of it on various celebrations as well as endured until the adhering to day. Chinese characters I stay to have only regard for the Chinese language. I am still amazed as I view my pupils or partners jot messages on notepads. It is an art compared to our fundamental little 26 letters of the alphabet. However, it's not so wonderful when you are looking for something to consume in a dining establishment without images on their food selection or looking for a specific type of store or product. Most languages worldwide are possible to comprehend a bit. I can take a look at a French food selection or German food selection as well as sort of involved grasps with exactly just what exists. Nevertheless, considering a Chinese menu is an entire various picture. There is no opportunity to begin to recognize exactly what is being supplied. My only ideas to tourists is either discover an eating establishment with large amounts of photos on the wall surface or food selection, or don't be timid at indicating exactly what various other people are taking in and utilizing terrific offers of hand gestures to clear up exactly what you would such as. Looking When you leave the significant traveler areas, it is still not unusual to be the things of focus. Westerners might still be really unusual in many areas of the country.
