ok y’all it’s time to stop using the word “neurotypical” to mean “someone who told me to do yoga when i said i was sad”. that was not it’s original context (it was, in fact, coined by autistic people and yoinked by mentally ill allistics lmao), and the idea that “non-mentally ill people” is a coherent class of people is BONKERS. ANYONE can be susceptible to mental illness, you do NOT know everyone’s history with mental illness, and even though people who are vocally against mental healthcare are obviously shitheads and dangers to themselves/their loved ones, to claim that their views are because they have a squeaky clean bill of sanity is just fuckin……wild.

anyway op isn’t autistic, and while neurotypical did originally mean not autistic, the definition has since expanded to include anyone without a mental illness or disability, basically because there are more mental and developmental disorders than just autism. this change happened about a decade ago more or less. the current word for non-autistic is allistic. neurotypical really does mean someone without a history of mental illness or disability. whether or not that’s a “coherent class”, whatever that means?

and if this is implying ableism somehow doesn’t affect mentally ill people then. idk that’s pretty fucking wild

as much as i don’t want to get into depression vs autism discourse but yeah people don’t debate whether or not depressed people are even human beings wtf

there’s ‘oh have you tried yoga’ and then there’s ‘oh have you tried electrocuting your child?’

I know who we all REALLY want to see in Disney’s live action reboots.

Did I ever tell you guys how I actually semi-officially changed the canon of this movie

Oh?

Yeah I got one of the lead writers to make something canon with help from my roommate and his dad.

give us the deets

Ok so this all started with a fan theory I read on Reddit. Basically the theory was that since the only animals in the movie that are shown to be capable of speech used to be human, then any animal that can talk was at one point a human.

On Kuzco’s first night alone in the jungle, he sees a fly in a spiderweb. The fly screams “HELP ME” then gets eaten.

The theory was that that fly used to be human.

So my roommate really liked that theory and said “hey my dad is actually friends with the guy who wrote Emperor’s New Groove, he can ask him to confirm that theory for us.” (I’m not naming names here I don’t wanna get sued)

So a couple days later we get screenshots of my roommate’s dad’s email asking about the theory and the lead writer’s response:

“The fly is… Kuzco’s late father.”

My roommate’s dad: “is that canon?”

Writer: “It is now.”

So Kuzco’s dad was turned into an animal by Yzma, we assume, as part of her ploy to take the throne. It makes SENSE.

And that’s how I helped change the canon of a major Disney movie.
