Love the idea of José and Panchito raising a bunch of plants together (yes, they all have names and they're all girls) 🪴🌵🌺

Finding a guy to play the part is harder than we thought…

I've been listening people talk about the duck comics' Twilight parody for a while, but did you know there is a 2010's parody for Zé Carioca comics too? Which cover could be translated to "Twilight in Xurupita"

So, my (late) Halloween Special will be translating... whatever the funky heck is this here + in a reblog because Tumblr won't let me post everything at once.

José Carioca (also known as Zé Carioca) celebrates his birthday and the holiday of his country (Brazil) with his family and friends - Ze Carioca Comics - The Three Caballeros Month - Feriado - Día Festivo - Holiday - Família - Familia - Family - Duckverse AU - My version

Unfortunately, I didn't get to do any specific drawings related to The Three Caballeros Month, but if nothing else I'll end this with my favorite theme, which is the theme of family. Although his birthday has passed, I will certainly not avoid drawing some of my favorite characters and one of the parts of the truly underrated Disney comics, which are the Ze Carioca comics that are mainly published in Brazil and certain countries of Latin America. I wouldn't even know about these things if it wasn't for the internet and my friends who translated certain Ze Carioca comics into English.

Yes, Jose's birthday is August 24th, and Brazil's national and independence day is September 7th, so on that occasion I drew a special drawing of José Carioca (Zé Carioca) in modern clothes (yellow t-shirt with letter Z and backwards cap) together with his family and friends how they celebrate given events. In front of him is a cake with Goiaba or Guavas, avocado, and other exotic fruits.

Together he hugs his beloved two nephews, Zico and Zeca Carioca, and next to them are Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Donald Duck, Panchito Pistoles and Aracuan Bird. There are also Jose's friends Nestor, Pedrão, Afonsinho and his rival Zé Galo. I hope you like this drawing and this idea and sorry if there were any mistakes.

Also, belatedly, happy birthday to José Zé Carioca and happy Brazil Day! Also Happy 90th Birthday Donald Duck and 80th Anniversary of The Three Caballeros! I hope you like this drawing and this idea and feel free to like and reblog this, just don't copy these same ideas without mentioning me and without my permission. Thank you!

Also this is dedicated to the blog @mesdelostrescaballeros2024, and this is my gift for my friends @flakatita, @fantasticenthusiasttale and @donze-trash and I hope you like this.

It Is 11:28 Am On The 24th Of August, Which Not Only Means It's A New Day, But Also Means It Is Zé’s 81st Birthday! So, In Honor Of The Beloved Dumbass Parrot, I Made This Drawing Which Was Inspired By Another Drawing @kaichdreis Made! :]] (Sorry For The @)

[xandertheundead]

For @mesdelostrescaballeros2024 ‘s Three Caballeros September event!

Week 1 - Zé

September 3rd - Saudade

Sometimes he remembers things that happened forever ago. Not very often, mainly because the memories are faded and fuzzy, faces blurry with no real features, but there were times where he would catch a certain smell or noise that would make him remember.

The clean smell of ivory soap.

Light curtains blowing from a breeze.

A soft warm blanket.

A woman, softly humming a gentle tune that has no real melody.

These things and a few more reminded him always of her.

His Mãe.

There weren’t too many memories, he had gotten lost when he was barely three years old, so sometimes he wondered if the memories he had of her were real and not something he made up to not feel so sad as a child. He had no recollection of his Papa and hoped that was because his small brain could only think of her and not that she was a single mom, who then lost her child. When it was quiet and no one was around he would think of her and get a strange ache in his chest that would grow almost until he could no longer breathe.

The way she would laugh, a little nasally, which he wondered if she had given him her nose because his laugh sometimes sounded like that too.

How she would rock and hold him, a constant movement, as if she were dancing him to sleep which he liked to think was where he got his love for it.

He would wonder what his life would have been like if he hadn’t wandered off, if she had found him after only a few days, held him close as they went back home. Maybe he wouldn’t be so lazy or such a con artist, maybe he would have had a better education and been able to put his smarts towards a conventional goal. Would she have been proud of him if he did well in things like school or sports? Would she be proud of him now?

That thought always gives him such an overwhelming feeling of loss that he panics and has to district himself somehow. He sometimes hates these memories because he had people there for him when he was a child, Nestor and Pedrão’s families, warm and welcoming to him even though he had been just a kid off of the streets. They had loved him like they were his actual parents, made sure he didn’t go hungry and that he had a warm comfortable bed to sleep in each night.

They were his family.

He felt ungrateful when he would get these thoughts in his head, like they weren’t enough for him and they had somehow lacked what his mãe had been. How would he even know? He never really knew her.

Zé let out a loud sigh, mentally pushing all the longing and sad thoughts out of his brain and body with that breath. He shook himself, the goosebumps on his arms rising under his feathers with a small strange chill before it settled. Then, like that, he was okay again and he pushed himself up to go help Nestor in the kitchen, grinning when he saw that the vulture was covered in flour.

“You only needed a cup! How did this happen?” Zé laughed and rolled his eyes when Nestor gave him a very rude hand gesture in response.

Yes. This was his family. Fully and completely

Dislikes: Malicious comments against Donald or Panchito

José Carioca is a sub-vocalist and dancer of the Three Caballeros, the latin-pop boy band. He is also a Samba pop/jazz singer in Brazil. From same university with his two friends Panchito and Donald, the group was formed sharing same passion and pursuit for music career. In most of their songs, José takes control in dance break to rile up the fans at concert. The most calm and polite individual, he is the peacemaker between his team and other rivaling musicians in a middle of intense rivalry. Among the trio, José is most known for having great counts of scandal (with men, women, non-binary, etc).

Born in Xurupita village since childhood, he usually hang out with his childhood friends Nestor, Afonsinho and Pedrão. It is known he has six cousins who live in separate states within Brazil. While he loved to sing, he began to fear of losing his singing voice as he entered puberty. Believing that changing his male reproductive organ to female's would solve his fear, he used all his part-time job money to pay for the surgery, which miraculously, he was able to retain his androgynous singing voice. With his natural talents in dancing and singing, he decided to move to United States in order to learn performing arts as soon as he graduated high school. At one point, he struggled to carry his musical instruments and was about to fall until Donald caught him and his instruments safely. Impressed, José quickly befriended him. When hearing of forming a band, José offered his idea of having three in a group as both scouted Panchito, the Mexican student. Since then, the three friends wrote songs and performed from USA to other Latin American nations. When he confessed to them of his past of surgery, the two nonetheless accepted José. When they were preparing for Europe Tour, Donald's neck was injured causing him to unable to sing. José was seen tearfully bidding goodbye to Donald who left for his 4 years of service in the Navy. Due to the recording company's high demanding and irresponsible supervisions/control, both José and Panchito left the company. While Panchito became a mariachi and Mexican pop singer in Mexico, José returned to Brazil where he became a Samba pop/jazz singer under the stage name Zé. He reunited with his childhood friends and encountered Rosinha Vaz, beginning his relationship with her. 

At some point, he thought of marrying Rosinha but was harshly scorned by her father Rocha Vaz who have already planned to set her up with Galdino “Zé Galo” Chaves, the Top1 wealthiest in Brazil. José was unfairly scorned by Rosinha's father, calling him "Castrato Tranny", mocking Panchito and Donald and insulted his family. In anger for the first time, José warned him to never mock his family, friends and their dream, adding that the old man had jinxed himself and would die someday with all money useless to him. While dated Rosinha, he felt as if she was putting him and Zé Galo on the hook, growing less confident of himself. Yet, he find himself occasionally befriend his love rival. One day, he received a call from Panchito about the plan to restore Donald's singing voice. Understanding Donald's wish to comeback as "Three Caballeros", he put his friend's dream first as he broke up with Rosinha and agreed to perform in the hotel owned by Chaves family. With enough money earned, he left Brazil and moved back to USA. When Donald's voice was finally cured, the three made their comeback in House of Mouse, confirming their return and continuing their careers together.

Because of his experience in raising two nephews before Donald's surgery, José is one of very few who is able to handle Huey, Dewey and Louie's antics. Being a member representing LGBTQ+, majority of his fans are of same community and often perform songs in Pride Parades/Carnivals. He has a somewhat naive side when advised by Donald in writing songs through expressing or telling stories genuinely, José released his single song "Amazonian Cuckhold" based on the legend of Encantado/the Amazonian Pink Dolphin, adding spice with story in a song; in a POV of Encantado who found the lonely girl in a party as her boyfriend stood her up with other girls, so Encantado wooed/seduced the girl while insulting her boyfriend. Despite the censorship, the song has become a cautionary tale to never take the received love for granted or someone better would steal their lover away.

My headcanonny backstory for José 'Zé' Carioca, as a Brazilian that has in fact NOT read the comics so this is just bullshit I came up with based purely in vibes

For me the maternal side of his family is from Bahia, his Grandma migrated to RJ when his mom was young. (Though he never went to Bahia before meeting Donald)

His father is from Rio, from all way back, and is the one with the surname Carioca

He has a older sister, but she's like way older, probably +10 years difference

His granny(mom's side) is actually a ""witch"", or something like that. But just basic nature stuff. (If José knows any magic is debatable since he only shows in the first movie)

His mother died when young, and his dad is not the best

Not like abusive, but he really shouldn't have a child he is just kinda negligent? Like not caring too much to where Zé goes and stuff

His sister moves out of the house young too, like they probably didn't live together for long

He used to go to his granny house on weekends and was actually very attached to her. She dies, obviously

And he kindof grows up in the streets, making friends with Nestor, Pedrão and cia, having meals in their houses etc going back to a probably empty house etc etc (i think I'm making this too angsty, and I don't really like it that way, but c'mon he's poor, life isn't easy)

If his dad taught anything was to get out of work and kinda to scam people, he didn't taught how to be good at it tho.

He does to school tho, and there he learned he loves 2 things Music 🎶 and women Rosinha

I believe she is for real his first crush and starts with him young, so isn't about her money o something (idk if they have an actual first meeting in the comics tho)

They start dating as teens, her dad doesn't approve and they go on to have a not really stable relationship because he's kinda of a jerk and she is jealous

Now considering the movies Saludos Amigos & The Three Caballeros "canon" and that Zé story is set in the 40s. Here is how I think it goes

It's the middle/start of the war and some boats of the U.S Navy shows up in the coast of Rio, that's how he meets Donald!

He shows him the city, probably try to scam some money or whatever, but become actually really close after a night of drinks, and really good friends after some days . But Donald has to leave.

(also when I say scam some money I mean, getting him to pay for thing probably expensive and give it to José or something, maybe that's how they end up drinking)

Later, when Brazil is actually starting to entering the war he flees, somehow, maybe Rosinha pays for him idk (Rocha Vaz would definitely want him gone, but I think the war would be preferable oh well)

Seeing he really doesn't want to see the snake smoke, he ends up in Mexico and meets Panchito!

Their meeting is not as nice though, they compete after a girls love, threaten each other of death and stuff (canon comic) but they part away not really hating each other

After a while he is the US of A working (oh no) as a entertainer (hm ok) when he re-meets Donald and Panchito!! (They both met each other in battle of something, and got along nicely, Donald is dispatch by the navy at this point). Panchito and José make amends and thus the Three Caballeros is born! They absolutely become besties (or something more👀)

That last point is absolutely based on a comic by @polisena-art though. Great art by the way, be-au-ti-ful

Then the *movie* 3 caballeros happens, on Donald's Birthday, they travel to their respective countries. And finally Bahia!

They part ways and become pen pals

A lot after that though (and after others apparitions in animated stuff, if from other eras)

So, Zé's sister is pregnant by some guy, it's twins! Our favorite parrot now is tio. But they aren't actually together a lot, Zico and Zeca live with their mom and probably dad, only seeing Zé occasionally.

But something happens and he becomes their legal guardian. In my mind their mom was sick, so they start spending more time with him as her disease worsened until she die (why did this become angst again?)

He takes a while to find his footing, but all thing including he ends up a good parental figure to them.

He also reconnect (actually just connect I guess) with some distant family. Mostly his primos, who coincidentally also have Ze in the name

Now just some throwaway headcanons

In my vision the name os his sister is Ana, His parentes are Joca and Tereza, and his Grandma is Zelaide and his paternal Grandpa is Josué

Also in Saludos Amigos his greeting card reads "José C. Carioca" and I'ma gonna assume that's with Costa or Do Carmo. Which would be his mom surname I guess. Even if both of them ends up sounding like locations in pair with Carioca

He start smoking kinda young, and continued for a long time (mostly stress smoking) until he got guard on the kids, than he stopped

He absolutely has a soft spot for kids btw

His relationship w/ Rosinha don't go anywhere, a really on and off thing, that doesn't end up working. But they still love each other (platonically (mostly)) and are good friends

He considers Nestor basically an younger brother. And all of his friends as his family

He is very emotional about this bunt refuses to show it

Honestly he gets along great with Gladstone. I just think it's worth mentioning because they're really similar for the stress of Donald

He also does a lot of Drag, and that's canon I just think it's neat

For my lgbtq+ HCs. He's a "Caiu na vila o peixe fuzila" (Pan and Polyam), but depending on the decade and his age he might be closeted. Also GNC

He plays a lot of instruments, including: guitar, tambourine, concertina, umbrella, flute, accordion and trumpet

He's also really good imitating voices and noises (parrot, duh) and whistling

He can cook decently, but hates it. Unfortunately he's a guardian of two and can't go always eat dinner at Pedrão .

But he cooks with pleasure to the caballeros when they come. Or in especial occasions for everyone.

He's a really good artist with watercolor, pencils and at photography, but he doesn't do any of that often

And for the surprise of all he kinda likes studying, especially art, languages and music. No would guess by how he was at school

Not actually for him, bit I want to believe Zé Paulista name is José Paulo, and he's related to José dad's family side, along with Pampeiro and Queijinho

Where Baiano and Jandaia are related to his mother's (yes, this based purely by the location of the states)

And not really a headcanons but I just love the Three Cabs as a throuple it's just so cute

Also between the three of them he has the braincell™ but neither does he use it or have some common sense to pair with it (that one stays with Donald)

Also Don calls him Joe, while Panchito calls him Jose (hispanic accent™)

And Panchito it's the only one who he doesn't actually mind doing it, even if he doesn't correct the others

Also his eyes are a reddish brown (I hate the blue from the comics with a passion) also in a human AU he would be black, thank you very much

And that's kinda of it. I love this cartoon parrot so much it doesn't even make sense

I could've go on with some aus where instead of WWII is DuckTales/Lottc, but I have to think about them first

[zecariocaincorrectquotes]

Pedrão: Good morning

Zé: Good morning.

Nestor: Good morning.

Rosinha: You all sound like robots, try spicing it up a bit.

Zeca: good mor...

Zico:....NIG MOTHERF**KERS!

Zé Carioca Comic Translation - Uma Amizade Como Poucas/A Friendship Like No Other

Nestor and Zé work out some friendship issues (sorta) - they’re so petty and dramatic you can’t help but love them

[polisena-art]

PARABÉNS AO ANIVERSARIANTE 🎂🥳 with a birthday churrasco because, as Brazilians like to say, "ele merece!!"

[flakatita]

If you can learn to do it, I can learn to do it.

I am contributing with @diogxnxs to this wonderful Anastasia AU, originally conceived by @levtuve ! Pose inspired by this shot from the movie.

I figured Pedrão and Nestor should both take the role of Vlad. Demitri originally had 4 tickets to Paris anyway so it works out, right? And Dio thought Uno would be the perfect Pooka, so I had to include him!

[fantasticenthusiasttale]

Rosinha: Guys! Dad hired very expensive detectives to find out where Zé Carioca is! And they found it!

Pedrão: Hidden under the bed?

Nestor: Inside the closet?

What? 🤨🏳️‍🌈?

Comic: "Volta, Zé... Volta!"

[mr-cactis]

[sugarloaf-mountain]

The new Zé story is about him being gone from Vila Xurupita for a long time and Rosinha being very sad about it, which leads to her dad hiring dectectives to find where he was and the gang proceeding to figuring out how to bring him back!

The story also makes references to a few older Zé stories and there's a text oh his comics history after the story, which is pretty neat

Also Zico and Zeca were staying over at Rosinha's the whole time while José was gone

ALSO flashback hug..... 🥺 (left one is from the new comic, and right one is the og from the story being referenced)
