I had a dream about Columbo at a drag show. This is what came from it.

so PJ...

yall ever think about how easily he could be the "good kid of a villain" trope...

House of Mouse is maybe the only place where Pete is evil AND PJ can plausibly exists so lets run with it... would Max and PJ's friendship be forbidden or would Micky and the gang trust him regardless of his dads actions? maybe only Goofy trusts him? would Pete try to use PJ to take down the club? would PJ comply with his dad because he's desperate for his affection or would he go against him because he knows it's wrong?

more than anything, I just want Max to have his friend back lol he spends all night stuck outside doing nothing..

i know phineas as dr. d's apprentice is a fun hc thats been around a lot but i just love the idea of candace being the one who ends up as his intern, she'd be like,, the opposite of carl in owca, you CANNOT convince me she wouldnt say "no" to his face when asked something ridiculous AND that he wouldnt just be annoyed and ignore her. its the fact that they are sooo similar in some ways to the point that they would be annoyed at each other all the time, it would be a fun dynamic to see me thinks

Anyone else think about... Lorenzo and Sid?

Like I admire that Lorenzo is a bit of a hurried child, but it's telling that the things he's hurried off to are things he wants to do. Some of the lessons he mentions having even sound silly for what you're shown are pretty buiness-minded people.

They aren't the type to think of their kid as a mini adult. There's no accounting or Chinese classes, it's something like ancient Greek myth flash cards he's studying. They know with kids it's more important to build basic skills he can use later for more serious classes. Let him have fun with ones now.

But given how in tune they are: I could see his mother slowly figuring that Lorenzo's gone from making a friend, to a crush he doesn't even notice. Like it's fairly obvious both of them are enjoying spending more time together. A lot more. He's been over to Sid's house and asked to change his schedule around twice this month.

Nothing gets serious until highschool but that first weekend they figure it out, arnold happens to be out of town and they both get bad advice from Sticky.

Mainly I just think Lorenzo as a shy buniess-minded problem solver, but he gets flustered a bit if you ask him about some of his after school classes.

Been working on this off and on for a minute. Wanted to do a play on the opening. Was considering this would be my comic’s title but I’m thinking it’s too on the nose.

Excluding the crucial fact that office jobs pay you an income….if staying home to raise children and do chores and bake bread was really so much easier and more joyful than working in an office on some objective level, why aren’t men doing it? Why aren’t they chomping at the bit to be ~leisurely house husbands~ to a working wife? Why aren’t they stepping up to depend solely on someone else’s income in exchange for round-the-clock domestic labor, if it’s really as blissful and their propaganda suggests? Curious.

making this the official introductory post for all my future doodles and ramblings about the

Metalocalypse Vikings AU

I don't know how much effort I'll put into this, but musings below the cut! (And don't expect total historic accuracy - it's just for funsies, not a research project.)

All my future posts in this setting will be tagged with #MtlVikingsAU for ease of keeping tabs on them.

my co-conspirator, as always, is @aidoneira 💛

Setting:

Circa 840 c.e. near what will become modern day Göteborg, Sweden. The Viking Age is in full swing in Scandinavia. Seafaring Norsemen have begun to launch raids across Northern Europe and elsewhere.

Skwisgaar:

Skwisgaar is the Jarl (Chieftain) of a sprawling seaside town near modern-day Göteborg, having amassed a large army and in possession of an entire fleet of ships. An incredibly skilled swordsman rumored to be sired by a god, he is a formidable raider and has seen great success pillaging and plundering, folding smaller nearby villages into his own and going abroad for more exotic spoils. While charming, he has a cruel streak and a propensity for violence; success like his does not often come peacefully, and defending that which he and his forefathers built - what the gods have bestowed upon him - is his top priority. Lately, he's taken an interest in taming (or perhaps breaking completely) the wild spirit of his recent captive, Toki. For his thunderous nature and strength, he's earned the epithet "Þórshestr" - Thor's-Horse, or Thunder-Horse.

Toki:

Toki hails from a small village nestled deep in a fjord near what is today Stavanger, Norway. Trained as a strong warrior, he was the only survivor of a raid on his home by Skwisgaar’s army, having been barely subdued, captured, and brought back to Skwisgaar’s domain as a prize. While normally quiet and gentle, the fury with which he's able to fight as a Berserker is frightening. His skills with a blade (his preferred weapon being his seax) are second only to Skwisgaar’s. Some in the village whisper that he may even be more powerful than Jarl Skwisgaar himself... Toki finds companionship in the other captives pressed into Skwisgaar’s service. His speed and ferocity in battle have earned him the epithet "Snæfalk" - Snow-Falcon.

Runke:

Also a Norwegian captive brought to Skwisgaar’s village several years ago, Runke's jobs are many - he's able to carve and read runes, decipher omens, maintain a knowledge of various medicinal herbs and plants, and treat battlefield injuries. While some of these duties are typically seen as women's work - belonging to the class of the siðasveinn or völva - no one can deny his skill. For his wisdom (and beak-like profile), he's often called "Huginn" after Odin's own raven. He's made a begrudging sort of peace with his new lot in life and accepts his fate, even developing a soft spot for Toki who has become like a(n annoying) younger brother.

Týr:

A local of Skwisgaar’s village, Týr is a career soldier and Skwisgaar’s long-time guard and combat tutor - and the closest thing Skwisgaar has to an earthly father. In his younger years, Týr spent time going a-viking with his fellow warriors, but in recent times, he's been enjoying a slower state of semi-retirement, woodworking instead of sparring. He taught Skwisgaar everything he knows about wielding a blade. Despite his acuity with a sword, he is a kind and fair man, and has done his best to impart the same values to Skwisgaar (with limited success...) "Týr" is not his birth name, but a name he's earned after the god of war and justice himself. His birth name has been lost to time.
