Why did we have to change/get rid of Constance Hatchaway in The Haunted Mansion? Remind me?

I mean…it’s a fking Haunted House.

A

HAUNTED

HOUSE

FOR

FKS

SAKE

Like, I mean, at some point during the ride you get pushed out of the window and die. That’s why you can now see all of the ghosts when you’re rolling through the cemetary.

Not making this shit up – you are murdered and now become one of the Happy Haunts.

It’s demented, disturbing, dark, and brilliant.

However, apparently Constance Hatchaway had to be “watered down” and stripped of her personality because the idea of a black widow axe murderer in the attic of a haunted house built on the story of a pirate gentleman who murdered his fiancee was…..insensitive?

I’m sorry, what now?

I mean, come on, look at this update…girl what are you DOING?

Bitch, U Ok?

I’m all about updating things that are clearly racist, sexist, insensitive, intolerant, add whatever word you want.

Pirates of the Caribbean – I totally get ditching the “Buy a Bride” auction scene, but they turned it into a fking antique auction. I’m sorry, what? Yeah, because Pirates were like “y’know, instead of looting and stealing shit, let’s have a fking auction and buy some authentic French antiques or a painting someone’s kid made or a harpsichord or a fking random chicken with one eye because the ship is lacking in decor.

That was a bit ridiculous, fam. Ri-Gdamn- Diculous.

I do like the update they gave the Redhead, but I mean, did we have to change the design? Maybe she liked being scandalous like that – there was no need to completely slut shame the redhead…she could have stayed looking the same and had some fking crazy ass scars and maybe a weird ass glass eye and like part of her jaw exposed, and the other women could have been just as creatively redesigned, but whatever.

RIP to these character designs. I mean, get rid of the bride auction, but keep these two as like the main Bad Bitches. Think about it, they get married, become pirates, bring all of the ladies with them…even that really old one at the end of the line and fk shit up on the high seas. Missed Opportunity, fam.

So, Red got a cool update, but my girl up there now has to sit there with a fking sad ass face and be mean girled by Red who basically says “Bitch, ain’t no one want them fking chickens, they want booze.” Thanks, Regina Fking George. My homegirl should have been a pirate too, and they missed an opportunity to give the chicken a mf pirate hat ffs.

Anyway, so back to Haunted Mansion…now the bride is just….there. I know, I know, this isn’t a new subject, this is an old subject. I remember when it happened. I was just looking for references and went down a Haunted Mansion rabbit hole, and became disgruntled all over again.

Same, girl. Same.

It hasn’t escaped me that I have literally ZERO things published, sold, made, in the public eye, etc and that I’m being one of those diaper babies that complains about something that I didn’t create. I’m an asshole and I own it.

IDGAF, I’m gonna die on this hill and many others. And YES…if I ever do visit a Disney Park again, I’ll still ride Haunted Mansion a trillion times and love it each time.

I make things because I am Artist-ish, animator-ish, musician-ish thanks to being an ADHD Squirrel. I’ve been building a world and writing a book about it since 2000 which is ridiculous I know, but Squirrel. I tried to learn DnD but I can’t really finish a campaign because I keep squirreling into making characters such as but not limited to: a lost pigeon leg, a can of raid, a shoelace from 1882 and so on. I have a day career which is not artistic, and despite this, it is a career that I am madly in love with and, well…I wish there were more hours in the day. Other hobbies of mine include laughing at inappropriate times, taking deep dives into random subjects, watching birds, and sewing messily because I don’t have time to perfect or fix it, so.
