There is nothing gayer than a true nemesisship done right. It’s called a ship for a reason. All distinguished villains and their heroes are secretly at least bisexual. And just one step away from an enemies to lovers arc at all times. This is because TRUE, developed, hatred can only be possible for those that we once loved. Hatred doesn’t come from nothing. It is Taught. And it’s often Taught from people we would desperately Want to love had they any scrap of a willingness to stop harming themselves and those around them. People who Could have Easily become villains yet still choose to do what’s right are the most compelling heros often times. And often times villains who genuinely reflect on their actions and have character development to become better people, weather or not they stop being villains, make some of the best villains.

[@Randomalistic]

THIS IS SO TRUE

[@rosegarden-dv6lx]

So true. Indeed, iconic villain-hero nemesis relationships for example, like Batman and the Joker follow this principle. Iconic nemesis are the two sides of the same coin. In this example, Batman being justice and order and Joker being chaos.

Theory: Basil is aro/ace. He started “experimenting” with guys because he didn’t like women so he thought, “well if it’s not girls, then it MUST be guys”, which is how he met Ratigan. They later broke up, because Basil realized that romance just wasn’t for him, and well, Ratigan is evil haha. Edit: Look Ma, I’m famous.

Ratigan went back to his wine barrel, annoyed that his "replace the queen with a robot" scheme was dashed by his ex...but more mad at himself for raging enough that he wrecked his best suit. He told his lackeys, however, that it was just destroyed when he fell off Big Ben again.

fun fact: Disney villains are actually gay on purpose due to the hays laws that made it so several things including lgbtq characters could only be in media if they were punished at the end. Parents and pretty much everyone was scared that the gays were gonna take and corrupt their children, so it made good traits for a villain. We could either have a loser that gets arrested, or a villain that both chews up the scenery and ate in general it's obvious which is better.

From my perspective, Ratigan (who loves no one but himself) manipulated Basil into having a tryst with him as part of one of his earlier schemes in the days before he firmly established his reputation as Mousedom's greatest menace. Basil in turn felt humiliated when Ratigan revealed to him that he'd only been using him the whole time. Ratigan may be gay, but he's the kind of character who would consider sex only as a means to an end. This would add another layer to Basil's desire to avenge both his bruised ego and broken heart.

I had the exact same thought for their backstory and wrote a story for it called "The Professor's Portrait". It's on AO3 for anyone who is curious. No explicit slash however😅

I love how Basil and Ratigan have a shrine of each other in the dead centre of their room; Basil has a portrait of Ratigan on his fireplace, and Ratigan has a voodoo doll of Basil. Really shows their obsession with each other and how bitter their rivalry is.

Thank you, finally! One of the best movies by Disney and in animation. I have my story with it lol - randomly watched this movie at the beginning of my teenage years and my ADHD said: "Yeah, this will be our jam". Couldn't think about anything besides this movie, read comics and fanfics (there was one there Basil and Ratigan were PIRATES, OH MY GOD), checked tumblr hashtag everyday, drew pictures, worshipped the site called "The game is aloof", which was dedicated to this movie and everything with it (sadly, not operating now). And I even. fucking. roleplayed. gay mice. with my best friend. Yeah. Crazy to think it was in my life, but not complaining. And the movie is still amazing.

Basil going from toxic yaoi with his ex to a healthy marriage with Dawson: legendary Idk what they actually told the VAs when recording, but I wouldn't be surprised if Vincent Price played Ratigan that flirty and fruity 100% on purpose. (I also want Ratigan's Basil voodoo doll. It's so cute!)

[@StrawberryFeildsforNever]

Did they not have the budget to add rain noises to the fight scene??? 😭

[@woodman3926]

It most likely would have been to loud and make it hard for the audience to hear the characters… could also be budget too

[@StrawberryFeildsforNever]

@@woodman3926 that can be worked out though. Like in other movies when there’s rain and the audience can still get the characters

its a thing in older animated movies, sometimes they would just not add the background noise for some reason. actually never realised that before and im curious as to why

[@pineapplestitch1783]

Can’t remember if I commented on this or not, but I saw this video ages ago, and I adored it. The Great Mouse Detective is surprisingly underrated. I’ve seen it twice now, and it is such a fever dream combined with actually comedic and clever storytelling (by that, the first time I saw it, I thought I had dreamt it all up. Oddly, the bat creature was the only thing I remembered aside from Ratigan. Like, I legitimately did not know this was a Sherlock Holmes style movie until much much later) but after rewatching it, yeah… Ratigan is basically Moriarty except sassier, and with at the very least, an implied attraction towards men. Gotta love it.
