Dr. Tamara L. Siuda

Hear me out:
Whereas:
- 20th Century Fox films are owned by Disney; and
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a Fox film

Dr. Frank N. Furter is a Disney Princess.

Qualifications:
1. sings in a musical
2. a friend to children and animals
3. finds creative solutions to peril
4. a timely role model, as a trans person in STEM
5. inclusion would make a Florida Governor lose his mind

*edited for pronoun ambiguity

Don’t dream it - be it! ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈👯‍♀️👑👸🏻

And there are ways to expedite this: They could maybe save money on animation and get the rights to use this image! Wouldn’t even have to redraw…

@tamarasiuda Ah, yes, Him.

@tamarasiuda Not sure what the Doctor's pronouns were. Absolutely certain they would be fine with the title "princess"…
Show threadDr. Tamara L. SiudaJun 11, 2023
@andy_twosticks true, perhaps “Doctor” was the best pronoun!

@andy_twosticks thank you for improving my silliness

@andy_twosticks @tamarasiuda Frankie never stated pronouns, but everyone else used he/him...

Magenta: I thought you liked him. He liked you.
Riff: He didn't like me!! He never liked me!!

Show threadAndy JonesJun 12, 2023
@BoloBoffin @tamarasiuda Magenta and Riff could, I suppose, have been deliberately using the wrong pronouns the whole time. (They *do* kill him out of spite in the end, after all.)

@tamarasiuda now this is a seriously important analysis! I've only seen the movie 400 or so times though so I may not be the best one to judge!
Show threadEvelynJun 12, 2023

@mycotropic @tamarasiuda I haven’t seen it that many times, and my Rocky Horror heyday was lo these many heydays ago.

So I can’t remember: are there any animals in the movie?

@tamarasiuda any other Disney princesses die at the end of the first film?

@gormster hmmmmm. Not sure? But we do have one that comes back from it (Snow White) and another that faces a really scary dragon (Sleeping Beauty)… I’m actually not that up on all the princesses I have to admit

It was on TV over here last night, loved it, not seen the movie since college. Never had the guts to go to the stage show (which is 50 years old).

@PhotonQyv find one and go - or one that combines both. It should be on everyone’s bucket list to do it at least once

@tamarasiuda Agree wholeheartedly, but am not quite sure how to argue the “children and animals” bit

@tamarasiuda The only downside to this is that Frank N. Furter is a sexual predator and consent abuser.
Show threadDr. Tamara L. SiudaJun 13, 2023

@rhonda this is definitely a valid point. I’m not a Disney fan (see earlier comments re:traumatizing) and maybe they wouldn’t find it to be so.

(Also still kind of stunned at the quality conversation me being entirely flippant about a 1970s movie has generated. Well done, mastodon!)

I imagine he'd rather pidgeonhole Frank as an evil queen, more of a wicked stepmother vibe

@strypey this was why I’d suggested Princess and not villain in the first place. Was also my thinking

@tamarasiuda You can also add the Hell priestess from Hellraiser 2022 since it was originally streamed on Hulu (a Disney company) and Fox/20th century studios was involved at some point
They are an androgynous supernatural creature (played by a trans actress) with a great taste in clothing, many friends who wants to share thier skills and hobbies with mortal beings and toys perfect for merchandising

@tamarasiuda Well, she sorta fits the whole Disney villainous genre too… wears medical attire with rubber gloves, orders people around, narcissism… but sure, why not both.
