cellulitisplayerhater:

pumbaa from the lion king has flatulence issues that are beyond his control and is socially isolated and rejected for it. this rejection drives him into the arms of a (male) meerkat. in this post i will discuss the themes of the lion king that represent pumbaa’s inherent queerness and his disability, how it interacts with the savanna, and how him and timon both queer norms and subvert them by making their own rules in their relationship and living outside of a society that rejects them. i will also discuss how pumbaa’s ailment is weaponized later on in the movie, when he defeats the hyenas with an aspect of his identity that had been used against him.
