Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

ok ok ok ok ok ok can I just have a quick lil moment of your time?

This shit.

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

So Hunchback is far and away my favorite movie from Disney’s Renaissance, and it always makes me so happy that yes, people seem to appreciate it, people seem to love it, but I’mma go into exactly WHY it’s my favorite, and WHY I think it’s so crucial, and WHY I think it should be required viewing for young boys specifically.

We all know that a huge bulk of the media we’ve grown up with consistently has that one frustrating message:  Being the hero means you’ll get the girl.  Many boys let this mentality bleed into reality.  We have “nice guys,” who feel that their niceness entitles them to romance, when obviously that discredits a female’s personal choice.  We all get this, we all know this, and a lot of us get that it’s a toxic message.

So check out our hero.

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

He’s an incredibly good person who isn’t conventionally attractive.

Check out our lady.

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

Super good person, conventionally attractive.

The movie so deliberately builds up Quasi’s hopes.  There’s a whole fucking song about it.

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

But Esmeralda, who is her own person with her own motivations and preferences, chooses another man, who is also good and also attractive.

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

A lot of people criticize this aspect of the movie, the fact that Quasi doesn’t get the girl BECAUSE of his appearance.  But my argument?  This is the best damn message a movie could ever send.

Because when things get dicey, when Esmeralda’s life in in danger, when Quasi would be putting his own life on the line, he knows that romance is no longer within the realm of possibility.  He knows he won’t be “getting the girl.”  He knows this, and he allows himself a moment of bitterness, he risks falling prey to the “nice guy” trope, and he almost succumbs.

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

“She already has her knight in shining armor, and it’s not me.”

BUT THEN HE DOES THE RIGHT THING.

He has NO ulterior motive for saving her life.  NO ulterior motive for opposing the man who raised him.  And he doesn’t know that he’ll get any reward, he knows he could straight up get killed for his actions, and yet he still acts.

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

And there’s no bitterness. There’s still so, so much love between him and Esmeralda, pure awesome platonic love, and love between him and Phoebus, and just fucking love all around, it’s amazing.

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

I’ve heard so many people express distaste at Quasi not ending up with Esmerelda.  Like he was cheated out of some kind of reward.  But have they watched the ending?

Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?
Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Can I Just Have A Quick Lil Moment Of Your Time?

Does that look like a man cheated of his reward?  Does he look like he “lost” to Phoebus?  No dude, that’s a man who has everything he ever wanted, and that’s also a man who didn’t “get the girl.”

If that’s not an essential message for young boys to hear, I don’t know what is.

Characters from Holly Black’s books from left to right- Kaye, Roiben, Cardan, Jude, Ben and Severin. Originally I was only going to draw Jude and Cardan but loved how Holly Black’s other characters cameoed in the book and had to draw them as well.

So I decided to make my own ACOTAR fancast because I've been seeing a lot of them lately, and I just can't understand why some people are casting white men as the bat boys. I've been seeing people casting Matthew Daddario and Tom Ellis as Azriel or Rhys and Henry Cavill as Cassian and I'm like???? The fancasts for Mor and Amren bother me a little, too, because they're usually pale. Amren is clearly described as having tan/brown skin, and although Mor is blonde, she also is described as having golden brown skin. Newsflash, people of color can be naturally blonde. If you want proof, look at Sofia Vergara.

However, I can understand why people might fancast Mor as a white woman because I know we don't often see blonde women of color, and when we hear that someone is blonde, we tend to just assume they are white as most blondes are white. But for me, there's no excuse for making Amren pale or have white skin. There are plenty of darker skinned East Asians out there, whose complexion unfortunately makes them targets of ridicule because of colorism in Asia. I understand that people aren't doing this with harmful intentions, but I just wanted to point this out because it is problematic. It is especially frustrating to me as a person of color to see white people being cast as my fellow POCs, so I made my own fancast. I hope you guys enjoy!

She loved him because he was her only option at the time.  Reading Assassin’s Blade I thought her and Illias or her and Ansel made more sense.  That relationship would not have lasted.
