#…Blossom being mayor might’ve been from the CYOA books now that I think about it but those are good too!

I never realized how much extra content PPG had until I looked at archive.org; the chapter books, the powerzine, picture books, flash games, console games, desktop themes, and other misc media; so I wanted to ask, what's your favorite piece of non-animated ppg content?

Man, what a tough question! There’re soooooo many good and weird supplementary things from the show out there. I really don’t know if I could choose a favorite!

I guess I’m kiiinda partial to the chapter books because many of them feel like scrapped ideas that could have made really fun episodes. I like the comics (I REALLY liked IDW’s Second Chances in particular… even though there’re some OOC moments near the end 😭), but the chapter books just feel like a better representation of the show to me. I like how they focus on the characters and their internal dialogue more, and speaking of dialogue, the girls are sasssssyyy. Here’s one example but there are many others like it:

I feel like I end up paying the most attention to how Blossom is written in these (naturally, haha, she’s my fave!) and I feel like there’s a lot of things in them about her character especially that I would have loved to see as canon in the show (like, off the top of my head: Blossom trying to start her own detective agency, becoming mayor for a day, hating coffee, seeing more of her aptitude for creating gadgets and fixing electronics, etc.). There’s really cute stuff with Buttercup and Bubbles too, and I just love how the books really do feel closest to an extension of the show.
