Nakoma: I knew I should have cut ties with you lot a long time ago!

Kocoum: It's not our fault!

Nakoma: Of course it is! You've dragged me down to your level- Your stupidity has finally rubbed off on me!

Nakoma: I was a scholar when I met you, Pocahontas! A scholar!

Pocahontas: You were three.

Ask for Kocoum,

When's my marriage proposal coming?

(Happy to see you back, Pumpkin)

"I could ask you the very same thing." - Kocoum

"Why do you joke with everyone besides your own family?" - Nakoma

"Who said I was joking?" - Kocoum

(So very happy to be back 💙)

Disney Fly Squad 11 by esmeraldabelle13

I get the problems people have with Disney’s Pocahontas, but there’s one thing critics of the movie say that just isn’t it. 

And that’s when Pocahontas is criticized for not marrying Kocoum and for not being interested in him. This is literally treated by some people as a problematic aspect of the movie in itself. I see people say it is her betraying her indigenous people and stuff like that... It’s very backwards thinking and very much acts like he was entitled to her. 

Regardless of what issues exist in the film, let’s not use it to justify incel attitude.

EDIT:

I have also seen people say Pocahontas “betrayed” Kocoum by choosing John Smith over him. You don’t have to like Smith’s character or the movie, but a woman choosing one man over another is not “betrayal”. Pocahontas is not beholden to Kocoum or his possession.

🍂🍃 I haven’t drawn Pocahontas in a long time. Last year or the year before around Christmas time, I did a sketch of Pocahontas in preparation for a series of drawings. My plan was to include her with Ariel and Rapunzel (two other characters animated by Glen Keane) in Christmas attire. Unfortunately, those drawings didn’t come to be due to lack of time. Still, tonight felt like a good time to revisit and refine what might have been. 🍁🍂🍃

There is no question, I love Rameses. However, I will never forget my first animated crush of all time, Kocoum.

Bruh I can remember watching the scene where Kocoum tackled and fought John Smith on repeat, eating my macaroni and cheese inside my bedroom, because I just could not get enough of him. It did suck watching him die over and over again though... 

My first ever animated crush died... tragic

Kocoum and Tsu'tey have so much in common. They're both great warriors, they both were gonna get with the chief's daughter and they both died by gunshot wounds.

Indigenous Men.

This is a rant but but me simp for a minute yall please.

Now, as a child who grew up in an indigenous household, I’ve had my share of exposure to fictional indigenous men.

(That’s maybe why I write fanfic about tall, blue, indigenous men but idk it’s just a theory.)

I was little when I first watched avatar but lemme tell yall one thing.

I was not looking at Mr. Sully. No sir.

You know who I was looking at?

C’mon now Mr. Thick slick and handsome don’t act like you don’t see me 🫶🏽🤭

I was down so BAD for this man. I used to draw him with my little box of crayons when I was a kid and pretend we got married.

He’s a warrior.

He’s strong.

Hes so fucking hot guys you can’t even fight me on this one.

It always kinda made me mad as a kid when a character choose someone else over the clear, green flagged indigenous male character.

Now, Neytiri is NOT an example of this. She never loved Tsu’tey romantically, and Jake was a better choice for her of course.

But you know what movie pissed me off the MOST when it came to this trope?

No, scratch that, the og of this trope??

Now I could spend hours talking about this movie and how incredibly fucked up it is. But we’re not gonna go there rn.

(That movie cover actually brings back so many memories for me. We had VHS when I was a kid and we used to draw with whiteboard markers on the vhs box movie covers and make fun of John smith.)

I watched this movie for one sole purpose when I was little.

And no. It wasn’t for John Smith’s tea drinking pudding ass.

IT WAS FOR HIM

I used to get so peeved at ‘Pocahontas’ (her name was Matoaka.)

This was the man of 8 year old me’s DREAMS and we’re going after Mr. Ken the Colonizer!?

Like c’mere baby boy if she don’t want you I’ll take you 🤷🏽‍♀️😔

And Mrs. Neytiri, Mrs. Fictional adaption of Matoaka that I no longer associate with the real person,

Trust me, I get it, I really do. I too have a white (half white, he’s mixed but he’s got an Italian accent, straight hair and slightly tanned skin.)

I too have a snow bunny man on my roster. He do be feeding be pasta and lobster.

If it ain’t snowing I might not be going.

But indigenous men will always have my heart 👆🏽😭

In conclusion

[i-am-a-freg]

I can’t believe Disney Pocahontas passed up this guy:

Handsome, sturdy husband material(who can build a handsome sturdy house, apparently)

For this guy

Who aside from looking vaguely like Val Kilmer in his younger days, has got what exactly going for him?? Nothing, as far as Pocahontas knows. I mean he’s willing to listen, but only cuz she’s hot basically. LAME.
