Are there any queer characters in the DisneyVerse?

Oh definitely! Some of Ariel's sisters are queer, Audrey and Mallow, Ben and Gilbert, and Melody and Uma from the Canon Descendants AU rewrites definitely are all couples at some points in their lives. I didn't put this in at the time and I should have but I've been thinking that Milo and Kida's son from the Canon Descendants Atlantis idea is Trans. Plus I made a girlfriend for Cassandra called Maleen. The DisneyVerse is definitely Queer friendly 👍

If I didn't make it explicit in the stories already its because I'm not fully out IRL and especially when I was still making the early Canon Descendants stuff I was still nervous about people I know IRL seeing my art on here but I've gotten better at being able to feel chiller on Tumblr since then.

This will be something different than what I published before, but recently I watched “Tangled - the series”. And I think I had an epiphany about Hector.

First of all, they didn’t have to make THAT good of a design for him. Hector is barely present and he easily could have been another buff man and nobody would complain. But here he is - cool hair and clothes, unconventional animal companions, thinner and weaker constructed if compare him to other warrior men in the series. Also probably queer - for reasons mentioned above as well as others. And that reminds me of another person in the series - presenting as man but not stereotypically masculine... Wearing stylish and badass clothes when on the bad side... Unconventional animal companion and fighting style...

Marian, our sweet child 💕 But why is he so alike Hector? It looks almost like family resemblance. Heck, we see many pairs of parent and child during the series and little of them are as alike as Varian and Hector! So, uncle maybe? Like, Hector would be brother of Varian’s dad? But wouldn’t that be mentioned in the show...? No, if they are family it has to be something different. Something that Disney wouldn’t dare to say out loud in the show because of some dumb policy. Well, Disney has a dumb policy about not mentioning queer people. Wait, Hector is queer.

This is where it hit me.

Marian has no mother that we know of.

Hector is queer.

Varian’s father, Quirin, wouldn’t share his past with probably quite conservative society.

Dear readers, I believe Hector is trans (or genderfluid, or something under the same umbrella, my point is that he has a uterus). And he is Varian’s another parent, also Quirin’s ex partner (not only in battle 😉)

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Some Mickey and Pals LGBT Headcanons for tonight:

Donald Duck is trans and polyamorous (he’s dating Panchito, José and Daisy. No one can convince me otherwise)

Goofy is bisexual

Daisy is pansexual

Minnie is a straight ally through and through

Mickey is straight and probably the most confused about all this just because he doesn’t understand any of this stuff even though his friends are all it (they help him along the way! He still loves them no matter what!)

And they all as a group go together to pride.

Mickey and Minnie bring Pluto, Goofy brings Max, Donald brings Huey, Dewey, Louie, Panchito, José, Della and Scrooge.

Scrooge McDuck is an LGBT supporter and you can’t convince me otherwise. His niece is a lesbian and his nephew is trans and poly, I mean, he is such a huge ally.

Drake Mallard and Launchpad are obviously big gays for each other I don’t even need to say that, everyone already knows.

Let’s see am I missing anyone?

Ngl, I have been thinking about a Horace is ace headcanon recently but idk if it’s any good.

Have no headcanons for Clarabelle, she’s probably a straight ally too. Or pansexual. Idk. Never really shipped her with Goofy like everyone else so can’t really say.

Just recently started watching Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers so no opinions on any of those characters yet.

Feel free to share Horace, Clarabelle and Chip and Dale headcanons!

The Other Two (2019- ) - 3x06 "Brooke, and We Are Not Joking, Goes to Space"

[cookinguptales]

So I’ve been enjoying the Disney vs. DeSantis memes as much as anyone, but like. I do feel like a lot of people who had normal childhoods are missing some context to all this.

I was raised in the Bible Belt in a fairly fundie environment. My parents were reasonably cool about some things, compared to the rest of my family, but they certainly had their issues. But they did let me watch Disney movies, which turned out to be a point of major contention between them and my other relatives.

See, I think some people think this weird fight between Disney and fundies is new. It is very not new. I know that Disney’s attempts at inclusion in their media have been the source of a lot of mockery, but what a lot of people don’t understand is that as far as actual company policy goes, Disney has actually been an industry leader for queer rights. They’ve had policies assuring equal healthcare and partner benefits for queer employees since the early 90s.

I’m not sure how many people reading this right now remember the early 90s, but that was very much not industry standard. It was a big deal when Disney announced that non-married queer partners would be getting the same benefits as the married heterosexual ones.

Like — it went further than just saying that any unmarried partners would be eligible for spousal benefits. It straight-up said that non-same-sex partners would still need to be married to receive spousal benefits, but because same-sex partners couldn’t do that, proof that they lived together as an established couple would be enough.

In other words, it put long-term same-sex partners on a higher level than opposite-sex partners who just weren’t married yet. It put them on the exact same level as heterosexual married partners.

They weren’t the first company ever to do this, but they were super early. And they were certainly the first mainstream “family-friendly” company to do it.

Conservatives lost their damn minds.

Protests, boycotts, sermons, the whole nine yards. I can’t tell you how many books about the evils of Disney my grandmother tried to get my parents to read when I was a kid.

When we later moved to Florida, I realized just how many queer people work at Disney — because historically speaking, it’s been a company that has guaranteed them safety, non-discrimination, and equal rights. That’s when I became aware of their unofficial “Gay Days” and how Christians would show up from all over the country to protest them every year. Apparently my grandmother had been upset about these days for years, but my parents had just kind of ignored her.

Out of curiosity, I ended up reading one of the books my grandmother kept leaving at our house. And friends — it’s amazing how similar that (terrible, poorly written) rhetoric was to what people are saying these days. Disney hires gay pedophiles who want to abuse your children. Disney is trying to normalize Satanism in our beautiful, Christian America. 

Just tons of conspiracy theories in there that ranged from “a few bad things happened that weren’t actually Disney’s fault, but they did happen” to “Pocahontas is an evil movie, not because it distorts history and misrepresents indigenous life, but because it might teach children respect for nature. Which, as we all know, would cause them all to become Wiccans who believe in climate change.”

Like — please, take it from someone who knows. This weird fight between fundies and Disney is not new. This is not Disney’s first (gay) rodeo. These people have always believed that Disney is full of evil gays who are trying to groom and sexually abuse children.

The main difference now is that these beliefs are becoming mainstream. It’s not just conservative pastors who are talking about this. It’s not just church groups showing up to boycott Gay Day. Disney is starting to (reluctantly) say the quiet part out loud, and so are the Republicans. Disney is publicly supporting queer rights and announcing company-supported queer events and the Republican Party is publicly calling them pedophiles and enacting politically driven revenge.

This is important, because while this fight has always been important in the history of queer rights, it is now being magnified. The precedent that a fight like this could set is staggering. For better or for worse, we live in a corporation-driven country. I don’t like it any more than you do, and I’m not about to defend most of Disney’s business practices. But we do live in a nation where rights are largely tied to corporate approval, and the fact that we might be entering an age where even the most powerful corporations in the country are being banned from speaking out in favor of rights for marginalized people… that’s genuinely scary.

Like… I’ll just ask you this. Where do you think we’d be now, in 2023, if Disney had been prevented from promising its employees equal benefits in 1994? That was almost thirty years ago, and look how far things have come. When I looked up news articles for this post from that era, even then journalists, activists, and fundie church leaders were all talking about how a company of Disney’s prominence throwing their weight behind this movement could lead to the normalization of equal protections in this country.

The idea of it scared and thrilled people in equal parts even then. It still scares and thrills them now.

I keep seeing people say “I need them both to lose!” and I get it, I do. Disney has for sure done a lot of shit over the years. But I am begging you as a queer exvangelical to understand that no. You need Disney to win. You need Disney to wipe the fucking floor with these people.

Right now, this isn’t just a fight between a giant corporation and Ron DeSantis. This is a fight about the right of corporations to support marginalized groups. It’s a fight that ensures that companies like Disney still can offer benefits that a discriminatory government does not provide. It ensures that businesses much smaller than Disney can support activism.

Hell, it ensures that you can support activism.

The fight between weird Christian conspiracy theorists and Disney is not new, because the fight to prevent any tiny victory for marginalized groups is not new. The fight against the normalization of othered groups is not new.

That’s what they’re most afraid of. That each incremental victory will start to make marginalized groups feel safer, that each incremental victory will start to turn the tide of public opinion, that each incremental victory will eventually lead to sweeping law reform.

They’re afraid that they won’t be able to legally discriminate against us anymore.

So guys! Please. This fight, while hilarious, is also so fucking important. I am begging you to understand how old this fight is. These people always play the long game. They did it with Roe and they’re doing it with Disney.

We have! To keep! Pushing back!
