Marks adorning your perfect skin, turning your neck into tiny galaxies, just a little reminder from his divine lips. Where would you be without him? He was the one who took you in when no one else wanted you. Be grateful, he would say. Shouldn’t you see him as your personal God? No one else gets such kind treatment from him. The sixth was not one to be known for kindness. A cold empty vessel with no heart, or at least that is what everyone thought and he himself believed.

“Are you going to talk or still playing dumb?” he asks as he moves his head back from your neck, admiring your beauty. He scoffed at the sight of you below him, finding your expression amusing. Puffy eyes filled with tears, lips quivering, and that cute blush on your cheeks. His poor little angel.

“So fragile. I have to be more careful to not break my doll, hm?” he coos, sickeningly sweet. He kisses your dampened cheeks lightly, a salty liquid meeting his lips. He licks his lips, savouring the taste of your distress.

One of his hands wandered to your wrist, caressing it and carefully moving it up right next to your head. His touch; gentle, yet he was sharp as a knife.

“Kuni-“ you try to speak but he doesn’t give you any space. How hypocritical, didn’t he just tell you to talk? But you shouldn’t expect Kunikuzushi to be reasonable in this situation. In his mind, an alarm goes off everytime he is close to losing.

“Nevermind. I don’t want to hear anything coming from that traitorous mouth of yours.” he shushes you, clicking his tongue in disappointment. He did not want to listen to whatever pathetic excuse you would come up with. No amount of apologies could make your behaviour right in his eyes.

“Do I not give my pretty dolly enough attention that you have to resort to speaking to that insolent brat?” he asks, whatever calmness he had left was gone for that moment. A blend of anger and boredom painted on his face.

Insolent brat was no other than the eleventh. Pesky little bug circling like a shark around his precious darling. He did not like having others around what he deemed his belongings. Especially someone foolish like Ajax. Everyone in Fatui knew you were his, he made that painfully obvious. The possibility of him of all people stealing you was somewhat laughable to Kunikuzushi, but not impossible with the way you were so naive. There was no doubt about your stupidity, you were clinging to someone like Kunikuzushi after all. If you were smart you would have at least tried to leave him, not that he would let you. Harbingers weren’t the nicest and had their methods of making sure things went their way. He was no exception.

“I didn’t-“ second time you were interrupted, a spark of electricity coursing through the wrist he held with a gentle touch before, you winced. Not being able to explain yourself only served to frustrate you more, whining at your beloved, both from frustration and the pain. A dark chuckle escaped past his lips, his eyes sparkling. He found a twisted enjoyment in this.

“That idiot is only after one thing, and it’s only to use you for his own fun. I, on the other hand, care about you.“ he says, once again appearing calm as he starts to leave soft kisses on the wrist he just shocked, “I know you are not that stupid to get swayed by his ‘charisma’, right?“

Sarcasm laced in his tone as he mentioned Ajax’s supposed charisma.

“You need to understand how lucky you are to have me. No one else would care about a piece of fake flesh.“ His words slightly wounded your feelings.

Being a doll created with no purpose by Dottore, you were only a stepping tool to better understand artificial life for the doctor, to work on his other projects. Once useless, you were casted away by your creator. It shouldn’t, but it made Kunikuzushi feel something in his deepest core, which was frankly bothersome for him. He shouldn’t have cared, really. He stopped caring about anyone a long time ago. But your pitiful expression tugged at his heart strings that day and he took you as a ‘gift’ from the doctor. Perhaps he should have kept himself more in check.

“I see you as something much more, you know?“ he whispers to you, “Humans can’t be trusted.”

You knew of his hatred towards humans. He made his distaste quite obvious, always complaining about everyone around him. Did he even like anyone? You weren’t sure. But at least he liked you, right?

“I know-“ you try once more with him, your tone whiny but before you could say whatever was on your mind, he silences you again. This time with his lips on yours.

You pathetically melted against him. His kiss was almost impulsive, hungry, raw, like he hasn’t eaten in years. He doesn’t need to. He is above mortal needs. Despite how desperate his craving for you was and the fact he was the sixth, it was still too tender, as if he was afraid to break you.

Breathing not being one of his necessities made intimacy with him last until he had enough of your sweet taste. Sometimes, he never got satisfied enough. A few moments pass, your mind already fuzzy as your thoughts are filled with him. With the taste of his lips on yours, his soothing warmness, that was perhaps only soothing to your innocent adoring judgement you had towards him. At its purest form, his attachment to you was rotten with the sinful desire of a power, mixed with an unbecoming need of devotion, led by the fear of loss of something so precious. He wanted to climb into you, into the warmth you so happily give him, devour you fully, until there is nothing left to take. Until the last crumb of you is within him.

It did not matter, for as not everyone could understand, it was still pure.

Bitter yet sugary relish, his hands tightening around your wrists, squeezing at the same time as he deepens the kiss. A stinging subtle feeling of electricity sparking as he does so. It seems as if he was far away from letting you go. Afraid you’d disappear into thin air if he did. Betray him? He’d rather suffocate you. Hold you so tightly, you’d be left with claw marks all over if you dared to let him down. Luckily, you are the only one who can handle the heat.

When you least expect it, getting used to no oxygen but him, so lost, drowning in all the sharp saccharinity of his, he finally stops. Leaving your lips, still yearning. Only centimetres separating you now as he still hovers on top of you. He feels out of reach now.

“You don’t.” He replies simply with an expression you couldn’t quite decipher, his words creating a greater distance than it already was between the two of you. Disappointed and disinterested in whatever you wanted to say. Did he deem you too unintelligent to be on the same wavelength as him?

He was hiding something from you, he always did. He made it seem as if you wouldn’t get it. He didn’t want you to understand. No, he’d rather shelter you from the pain he had to bear. Humans would just infect you with all kinds of misfortune. He saved you. Yet, you choose to be ungrateful.

You pry into things that are none of your business, you follow danger like a lost little lamb. All you are doing is rendering his effort to protect you useless.

Your saviour, your personal God, you should listen to him. Dottore would throw you out like garbage. Would Ajax be there to save you? Take you in? No. Ajax is only after treasure. Kunikuzushi made you that precious treasure. Without him? Another uninteresting project of Dottore’s. You were much more valuable to Kunikuzushi than you could be to anyone else.

Kunikuzushi sighs, he was done with this nonsense. He was getting riled up over trivial matters again. Ajax was no threat, you worshipped Kunikuzushi with your whole heart. But still..

He stands up, leaving you on the cold bed.

“I’m going to Sumeru for a few days,” He says matter-of-factly, “during that you should perhaps think about your behaviour, hm?”

You want to protest. You didn’t do anything wrong, it wasn’t fair. He expected you to behave accordingly but his rules were obscure. You believed his behaviour was what humans would call jealousy.

“Why? Ajax was the one who was talking to me. I was just polite.” You finally defend yourself. About time you’ve grown some backbone.

Polite? You could’ve at least stopped giggling so warmly at his dull-witted jokes.

He laughs as if you said something idiotic, “this isn’t about Ajax. He is nothing but a fool.”

He seems more level-headed than a moment ago when he was marking you up. Some sort of clarity has hit him. Fixing up his clothes now, he doesn’t spare you a second glance.

“Is it not? Then what is it about?” You ask, genuinely curious of what was up with him. You were still trying to understand him despite knowing him your whole life.

He was your everything, from the moment you first saw him when Dottore introduced you to him. His newest work, inspired by the Khaenri'ah’s technology through studying The Balladeer himself.

Your eyes shined brightly when you first laid them upon him. You couldn’t figure out the expression on his face during your first meeting, probably the lack of knowledge you exhibited at the time.

He wasn’t human either, but he knew much more than you did. To you, he was the most fascinating thing in this whole world. There was something about him that kept pulling you to him. You wanted to be around him so badly, during the short time you were with Dottore, you annoyed him with your persisting questions about the Sixth Harbinger. Surprisingly, with gleeful expression, Dottore indulged you and answered at least some simple questions about Kunikuzushi to satisfy your curiosity.

He was just like you, but different.

“You’ll stay here for the time being. It’s not like you need food, water, or anything else like that, right?” He spoke in a low tone, staring you down with an almost neutral, apathetic expression, “you don’t need any of that anyway. You just need to use that little mechanical brain of yours. And think.”

“If you are even capable of that.” He sneers, “after all, you are the creation of Dottore’s. I wouldn’t be surprised if that psycho ended up making a faulty product.”

How mean. He’s known you for long enough to know you were perfectly fine. He even complimented you himself so many times, spoiling you on most days. Getting you the finest food in all of Teyvat, gathering to your interests, mostly letting you walk around free.

The pleasant praises that escaped past his lips every time he showed you his affection for you were absolute delight to your ears. Each word, filled with fondness enough to keep you in your own world of smitten thoughts about him for hours afterwards. His words were godly to you, much to his liking.

He didn’t want you to suffer for no reason. He reveled in your devotion. It fed his ego well, too. However, sometimes certain missteps from you couldn’t be ignored no matter how lovely you are to him.

Once he was finished with making himself look presentable enough, he took a few steps closer, hovering over the bed you were on. He leans towards you and gently presses his lips against your forehead, leaving a tender kiss behind him without any more words.

The door closes behind him with a faint sound of a locking door. You sigh and bounce back on the bed, pondering about what just transpired, your gaze shifting to a stuffed animal next to you. A bunny, Kunikuzushi said he thought of you the moment he saw it and had to give it to you.

Taking it into your arms, you snuggle into it for comfort. The little bunny might have been in your resemblance in his belief, but the scent invading your senses was, unmistakably, his.

Filling a request for @christinaatyourservice92! She requested a Husk x Reader where Reader "cleans up nicely", so to speak.

Husk/Reader, featuring Angel as an enthusiastic wingman. Some other characters kind of exist I guess. Reader is wearing a dress but otherwise their gender isn't specified; we're friendly to mascs in dresses here. Nothing further than dancing and kissing, anything with Husk is going to be a slowburn. But I love a good slowburn.

I'm still new to this fandom and haven't written most of these characters at all before, so please be patient with me! And feel free to send requests; I can't promise to have something for all of them, but who knows what could happen if you strike my fancy! (Probably only answering Husk related ones for now, though. Fuck I love Husk. Give me some Husk time for a bit. Husk... ahem.)

A ball wasn’t the worst bonding idea that Charlie ever had.

Granted, calling whatever was going on in the lobby of the hotel a “ball” was a bit of an overstatement. There weren’t that many guests, for one thing; the hotel didn’t have enough people for that, even including the employees. The decorations were set up quickly and cheaply, making the whole thing look more like a child’s birthday party. Entertainment was provided by Alastor, who stood off to the side and played instrumental ragtime music through his staff, presumably wondering what kind of nonsense this whole affair would lead to.

It had already led to Niffty dancing through the lobby with a “partner” made of bug carcasses, dust bunnies, and assorted other unmentionables, so that was a start.

Husk didn’t have to put in any sort of effort for this mess, but something had inspired him to clean himself up for once. He’d changed into a full suit and forgone the top hat, and he stood by the tables gently sipping a glass of red wine instead of chugging whiskey like it was a water bottle.

Angel, of course, noticed the discrepancy.

“Ooh, lookit you, all fancy,” he remarked as he took a spot beside Husk. Angel wasn’t too keen on the whole event, but he’d taken the opportunity to dress up in a nice skirt and wig, not one to waste a chance to play with his appearance. He certainly wasn’t giving up the chance to show off his legs, given how short his skirt was. “What’s the occasion?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Husk asked. “Not like I’m the only one dressed up.”

“Yeah, but I was born to look good. I ain’t showing up to even the shittiest party without showing off what I got! You, on the other hand, look uncomfortable.”

“It’s these wings,” Husk said. “It’s so damn hard to find a shirt that fits ‘em.”

“So why not take the shirt off?” Angel suggested, sing-songy tone confirming that he knew exactly how that sounded. Husk merely smiled and rolled his eyes at his friend’s sense of humor.

“Have you seen Y/N?” Husk asked.

“Ohhhhh.” Angel chuckled. “Ohhhh, I see what this is about…”

“Have you seen them?” Husk responded, his expression not changing.

“Someone like them at a ball? Uh-uh, ain’t no way they’re comin’ down here. You know they’re too much of a recluse for this fancy dress-up business.”

“You really think so…?”

“Aw, what’s got you lookin’ so down, Whiskers?”

Husk ignored Angel for another sip of wine, his desire to maintain some semblance of class preventing him from downing it as quickly as he’d like.

“Right. Be right back.”

“You better not be thinking about what I think you are!” Husk called after Angel as he walked away, but Angel didn’t respond.

—

You’re not going down there. You are not going down there. Not in this.

It’s not like it’s a revealing outfit or anything. It’s just a frilly, floor-length red dress. You’d picked it up when Charlie first announced the ball, fully intending to wear it that evening.

This is the first time you’ve looked at yourself in the mirror while wearing it, and the mirror is doing nothing to convince you to leave the room in this thing.

Even when you were alive, you were never particularly feminine; being feminine required being cute, and that just wasn’t something you were ever comfortable considering yourself as. Your appearance became even less of a concern after you died, with clothing being more of a suggestion than anything else. But a formal occasion sounded like the perfect chance to change that status quo.

What a stupid idea that was.

“Hey, Toots!” That voice along with three simultaneous knocks could only be one person. “You comin’ downstairs?”

“I’m fine! Thanks!” you call back without another thought. Why couldn’t you have gotten a nice outfit that was more gender neutral? Maybe you could change to your plain clothes and join the party that way…

But you know his tastes, and he might be disappointed to see you showing up for what’s supposed to be a major event in casual streetwear…

Better off not risking it.

“Aw, but it’s borin’!” Angel called from the other side of the door. “We could use some company down there!”

“Go ahead without me!” you assured Angel, preparing to change out of the dress and spend the evening to yourself in your room.

“But Husk wants to see you!”

The sound of his name makes you freeze.

It’s not a surprise that he wants to see you, really. You two have been getting along well, talking about your shared appreciation for music and the performing arts. Even the other members of the hotel have commented that Husk never softens quite as much as when you show an interest in his stories of his days as a performer in Vegas. He really does seem to like spending time with you.

But to hear it spoken out loud…

“You okay in there?”

You slowly open the door to see Angel standing there. At least you don’t need to worry about being overdressed; Angel’s got you beat in that department. He’s always impressed you with how he can take an outfit that should be so, so tacky on paper and yet make it work.

His eyes widen at the sight of you, and he lets out a whistle. “Well, damn. You in a dress. Never thought it’d happen.”

“I look stupid,” you mutter, holding your upper arm as you turn your head away. “I have no idea how to wear this thing…”

Angel scoffs. “You kiddin’? Look at me, honey. You know the types of people I hang out with, and let me tell ya, there is no one who can’t pull off a dress if they wanna.”

“Do you think Husk will like it?”

Angel laughs, and you immediately regret letting those words escape your mouth.

“Um, not that I… it’s just, he went to parties like this all the time, right? When he was alive, and when he was an Overlord, so he knows what people are supposed to wear… we’ve been getting along, but it might look bad if I’m underdressed…”

“You could go down there in a brown paper bag, and ol’ kitty cat down there would still be staring at you,” Angel assures you.

“Are you sure…?”

“Jesus Christ, you two are clueless.” He takes your hand in two of his and starts tugging you toward the stairs. “C’mon. You’re gonna go give Husk something to do besides finish off the wine all by himself.”

—

The reaction you get when you reach the lobby is less than you expected. Charlie’s happy to greet you, which you appreciate, but hers wasn’t the reaction you were looking for.

The only reaction you get from Husk is a briefly surprised glance before he turns away to refill his wine.

Is that really it…?

Angel must be equally unimpressed with the response. He storms over to Husk, and while you can’t really hear the conversation, you can see that it involves a lot of arm flailing from Angel and tail lashing from Husk.

The only phrase you can pick out is Angel saying, “Well, forgive me for trying to get you some-”

Should you go back upstairs? Husk doesn’t seem as happy to see you as Angel implied he would, and all you’re doing down here is standing in the middle of the room like an idiot. While you try to decide whether to run off and never think of this again, you notice Angel approach Alastor. He’s talking to Alastor with the same animated arm motions, while Alastor listens on in mild amusement. As Angel walks away, Alastor rolls his eyes and shakes his head, then gently taps his staff against the floor.

The bouncy ragtime music abruptly shifts to a downtempo jazz number.

Husk’s ears perk up at the sound, and as he looks up to figure out what’s going on, he locks eyes with you. You’re looking back at him, maintaining eye contact for far longer than he had when you first entered. He can’t just ignore you after that, can he?

Indeed, he can’t. Slowly, he walks toward you, uncertain at first but progressively gaining confidence. Angel flashes thumbs up signs that he can’t see behind him.

“Good evening,” he greets you, his deep voice so much more smooth than anything he’d shown as recently as thirty seconds ago. “You look nice tonight.”

“Thank you,” you respond, flashing your best smile. “You, too.”

Husk in a suit… you could get used to this.

His smile is surprisingly gentle when he does it without teeth. He holds out his paw. “Shall we dance?”

You take his paw in one hand, and he takes your other hand in his other paw. The two of you gently sway together, not making much contact, but even this proximity is making your chest pound. His confidence has grown considerably; he’s clearly used to things like this. He’s perfectly on rhythm, not holding your hands too loosely or tightly.

As if it’s the most natural thing in the world, he places a paw on your shoulder and pulls you close to him. You’re at a loss at what to do with your now free hand. It finds its way to his hip, and instantly your face starts heating. No, that’s way too much, way too quickly-

He doesn’t say anything about it. He only smiles.

Maybe it’s okay.

You stop focusing so much on where his hands are, or how he’s moving his feet. Your only concern is the gentle look he’s giving you as he dances with you, leading you in a perfect rhythm.

His arms have found their way around your waist at some point. You’re too lost in the moment to question it.

He whispers your name, and is it just you or is his face getting incredibly close? You raise a hand to stroke the fur on his cheek.

His lips are on yours, so chastely but they’re there, and you’re so floored by the action that you barely even register Angel whooping in the background. The kiss only lasts an instant, but you’re both a little more breathless now than when you started.

It’s the only time you kiss for now, but you spend much more time swaying together. You don’t know where one song ends and another begins; it’s only the underscore for one long dance, where the sliver of space between your bodies feels like a chasm.

No… not tonight. Not here. Not while they’re watching.

—

If it were up to you, that dance would have never ended… which is why it’s probably for the best that the sultry saxophone music abruptly changed to a loud swing number.

Alastor looks rather pleased with himself for the interruption.

You’d spend more time with Husk in the lobby, but not only is the music giving you a headache, but Angel keeps on staring at you with a raised eyebrow and a grin, and you don’t want any more time to think about what he’s theorizing in regards to your personal life.

“I wanna go back upstairs,” you tell Husk. Before he can look too disappointed, you then add, “You can come with me if you want.”

After you shout a good night at Charlie and Vaggie and Husk flicks a good-natured middle finger to the smirking Angel, the two of you head upstairs, and after some brief discussion, you agree to spend your time in Husk’s room. The two of you sit on the edge of his bed for a while as he shows you his collection of vinyls, and you discuss the possibility of the two of you possibly performing some of his favorite songs as a duet, with him on his saxophone and you singing.

“It’d be nice if we could sing together, too,” you say. “You have a really nice voice.”

The compliment flusters him enough that it takes him a moment to respond. “Maybe… but most of the duets I can sing are love songs.”

Now it’s your turn to blush, and it’s a lot more obvious on you than it is on him. You can’t hide the truth; you might as well say it out loud.

“I’d like singing a love song with you.”

Husk looks at the ceiling and smiles to himself, his thoughts elsewhere. “It’s been a long time since I’ve done a duet. Singing a love song with someone, and meaning every word of it… there’s nothing like it. I wouldn’t want to sing a duet like that with someone who doesn’t mean it.”

You snap him out of his daydream by placing your hand over his paw. “What about me? If I did mean it?”

He chuckles to himself. “You’d mean it? This soon? You just got here. We barely know each other.” Despite his words, he turns his paw around so he can hold your hand in return.

“You’re the one who kissed me down there,” you remind him.

“A single kiss isn’t love. Love takes time.” His body language doesn’t seem to be matching his words as he squeezes your hand. “It takes patience. Compromise. It’s not gonna fall into place easily. It’s easy to screw up… I’ve done it before.”

He’s looking at your face again, a once-unseen vulnerability in his eyes.

“...I don’t want to screw it up again. Not with you.”

“We can at least try.” You stroke his cheek again, now more focused than ever on the white hairs in his dark fur and the bags beneath his eyes. He’s been around for so long… he’s been hurt so many times.

If you could be the one to help him with that hurt…

You press your lips to his, and he accepts the kiss, holding it much longer than he did while you danced. He wraps his arms around you, not pulling you as closely as he could, but still letting you share in each others’ body heat.

It will take time, but you hope that someday, the two of you can sing that love song.

Hiiiiii back with more TADC Actor AU stuff this is moreso just some silly tidbits I thought about.

[Gloink Queen and The Fudge]

So GQ and Fudge were animatronics (mixed with CGI for certain scenes) that had people voice over them. Since some of the Murder Drones cast help out with technical stuff, Uzi decided to voice the Gloink Queen, and have the team edit it in post so it sounded more monstrous.

Uzi: “I AM GLOINKS. YOUUU WILL BE GLOINKS. GOD WILL BE GLLLLOINKS!”

N: “‘God will be gloinks’ how does Goose come up with this—“

Uzi: “Liam’s made me say wackier stuff on set this is nothing new to me.”

Another thing I thought about is the TADC toon cast posting behind the scenes stuff on apps like Twitter or something. Nothing spoiling anything too big just kinda to show what they’re working on. And probably post some videos of them goofing around on set.

JustTheRagdolly posted: We just got done with filming for the day and I had my arms stuck through my torso for like ten minutes, Jax was losing his shit, probably should’ve brought in the stunt double 😅

KingofChess posted: I ACCIDENTALLY HIT POMNI WITH AN ANCHOR ON SET I FEEL SO BAD.

JaxTheLuckyRabbit posted: Was in line to get some food when a kid approached me and asked if I was Bugs Bunny. I just replied with “I wish” lol

(RibbonReindeer posted a video):

“So something went a bit wrong-“

“[Wheezing] ᶦᵗ’ˢ ᶠᵘᶜᵏᶦⁿᵍ ᵇʳᵒᵏᵉⁿ”

“I don’t know what happened but…”

(Camera moves to the Gloink Queen animatronic with it’s head detached)

“We were just filming and it- it’s head went POP and fell off.”

“(Uzi in the background doing the GQ voice) I HAVE BEEN DECAPITATED!”

“I think our session’s over for today.”

“We were at a dramatic part too and it just— [wheeeeeze] POPPED OFF!”

Another thing, Jax’s on set pranks. You know how during the Toy Story 2 bloopers, Woody played pranks on Buzz? It’s like that. Jax popping up in scenes he’s not supposed to be in, writing on stuff, purposely trying to make the other actors break character, etc.

“And… action!”

“Gotta say, this was a lot more anticlimactic than I was hoping it’d be.”

“What were you hoping for?”

(Pomni laughing behind the camera)

“… Pomni why are you laughing what happened-“

(Jax trying not to laugh)

“Why’re you-“

“Gangle- Gangle you might have something on your face there buddy.”

“Huh?”

(Gangle I takes out her phone and opens the camera to see she has two rings around her eyes left by the binoculars)

“OH- [laughing]”

“Jax was that your doing?”

“Maybe!”

“[Giggling] You son of a bitch-“

“Cut!”

Personal take on sagau, from personal experience 4

As three travelers go down long walk towards one of the dungeons to find stealer, and fully get your license. Which u were probably not getting because travelers glider got broken. U made quick run to get new ones in an opened up window with playstation genshin gliders.

U looked between u two, knowing what it means while Amber was watching behind u.

"It looks pretty" "I didnt play on ps" "neither did i!" "why r u lying?" "am not!" with back and forth being announced by Paimon as she says shes hungry.

So we return to right now. Paimon sits on travelers shoulders andd ate some meat inside bread (u forgot how they call it here bc there just so many) and crumbs fell all over ur new party member. They ignored it as they piered into ur pulling window. They kept fieling u in the lore u havent heard of, pointing at characters n describing them in details u never noticed if u even recognized them.

"Lets pull." Traveler interrupts ur zonning out as their wrist points on the newbi banner with Noelle looking knghtly at u.

"Nah, i wanna save up." u shrug, but when u try to move ur hand away, it is stopped its escape.

"Save up!? YOURE A BILLLIONERE!!" they yell out right into ur ear before u can even slap them to shut up.

"DONT YELL THAT OUT!!!!!" u grab them by th eneck, Paimon flying up to not be disturved while eating. Traveler pulls on ur robe, it, thank archons, stays still on ur body; as u start pulling them down.

Amber glances behind her when she hears bantering and sees two travellers fighting, only stopped by the third one saying:

"Dont mind them, theyre like this for days now" she waves her food and flies past her.

Dungeons greets u with a black eye and a few bruises... Neither the fall from the highest point of Mondshdat hurt u as bad as travelers elbow. But u gave them a few good hits as well, the poor thing hold onto their side on their dear life while eating some apples to heal up their HP. The walk was so long, the sun is setting behind horizon when u actually get to the rock structure.

"Its already night, lets set up a camp."

Amber yawns, pulling out a tent from nowhere and sets up a camp. Both u and Traveler look confused at her. Both of u turn back to see the Monshdatd.

"We just exited city." traveler says, pointing behind them, tilting their head at her as the tent stand up right.

"Ah yes, this day was so productive." Amber shoots a hot arrow into the campfire that just spawned here from nowhere.

"Feels like its been only 2 minutes." u scratch the back of ur neck, tilting ur head as she sits down and pulls out her bunny toy and puts it in her lap.

"Its been hours..." she tilts her head at u, her bunny ears plopping against the side of her head in a cute way. She yawns again. "Im kinda tired." she snuggles her toy before moving inside the tent.

"..." u look at traveler whos holding Paimon in their arms. "Do u think she gonna explode?" u ask them as Traveler looks at u like at an idiot and Paimons face drops in concern.

"Paimon should warn Amber!" she says but doesnt fly out of tarvelers arms, bc they squeeze her like a toy and make her yelp.

"No shes not gonna explode. And we dont need to stay here waiting for her to wake up. We can just keep going with the quest."

"Release the baby." u extend ur hands towards Paimon, traveler, with a deay, opens them. The baby flies towards u n hides behind u, holding onto the robes and pointing accusatory at the other.

"Kill them!" she orders u n u fail to hide a laugh. U pick her up and start walking behind traveler towads the dungeon.

"No no, we still need the traveler. Be nice." u pat her head, kissing her on the head before she flies up with a hmpf sound and dissapears. "Well u do need to apologize to her." u pat travelers shoulder but they brush it off with a scoff n eyeroll.

"Oh please, shes been bugging me out the whole day."

"She didnt do shit,ur just sensitive." u push them to the side n open the dungeon.

A second later both of u teleported to the quest.

U hold onto traveler on dear life as both of u leap through the air on the last part to catch some idiot who got caught stealing books. Traveler drops on thei legs and hold u by the robes and watches the stealer gasp in surprise and stutter excuses while ur eyes r closed.

"R we on the ground?" u squeeze ur eyes closed, listening to stealer. Traveler looks down at u, using them as safe jacket, glider closing on its own like a minute ago and ur legs still not touching the ground.

"Just stop clinging." they put u down, the ground is cold, and u hug it all the same. U hear that eyeroll as the traveler pulls out the sword on an enemy.

+ 2 flying permit

-100 mora bc Paimon doesnt have a permit

Cyberchase Character Discussion (for your local Cyberchase trivia quiz) - #3: Jackie

Here we go again. I've made this style of post about Inez and Matt, and now it's Jackie's turn.

#3: Jackie

Let's start with her bio from "Meet the Cybersquad". Again, this almost 25 years old now, so who knows how much of it is still canon.

So, we get our introduction to Jackie. She's smart, funny, has a plan, and is over-the-top. Yeah, that's accurate so far.

For some reason, this page was not in her original bio when they released it in 2001. They went back and added this page later in 2002. This is the only bio that I have seen that had content added like this. This page lets us know that her favorite color is yellow, and she loves tofu burgers. I don't know if the show has confirmed that she is a vegetarian or vegan. She is shown to care about animals, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was canonically a vegetarian.

Her favorite book is one that I hadn't heard about until now: "Walk Two Moons" by Sharon Creech. In this story, the 13 year old protagonist, Salamanca (Sal) Hiddle, goes on a cross-country road-trip to visit her mother. There are themes of coming to term with loss and building new relationships. It makes me wonder if, at some point in development, the show-runners might have been interested in giving Jackie a tragic loss similar loss to Sal. I haven't seen the later seasons where they bring in the kid's families, but I don't believe they have gone that route so far.

For her favorite music, we get two bands: Destiny's Child and NSYNC. These are very much a product of the time. Destiny's Child actually disbanded in 2006, as the members went off to do solo work. NSYNC disbanded in 2002, and then reunited in 2023. Well, we know that Jackie loves her R&B and Pop music, so I'm sure she found other bands to follow since then.

Her favorite movie is Shrek, which only came out in 2001. Matt and Inez have definitely sent her all the memes that have come out about that movie since then. Her pet peeves are bugs and anything messy. Yeah, that still tracks. She has a "Wheaton Terrier" named Brandy. I don't know if the spelling has changed over the years, or if they just made a spelling mistake in her bio, but I have only seen it spelled as "Wheaten".

Jackie also gets a bio from Nelvana, which is pretty cool. I've only been able to find surviving archives of bios for her and Matt. They have sections for Inez, Dr. Marbles, Motherboard, The Hacker, Buzz, and Delete. However, all of those are left empty in the surviving archives of the pages. I don't know if bios were completed for those other characters.

We get emphasis on the point of Jackie being organized. We also get more insight into how she solves problems. She uses diagrams, charts, and graphs among other things. She also touched on her tendency to use initials as shorthand for things. I remember the Blue Bunny Place (B.B.P) from "Of All The Luck". Was she hip in 2002? Is she still hip now? I'm not qualified to say.

We also get an introduction to Jackie through the official prequel web comic, "How It All Started: Episode 3". We see Jackie making her own skirt out of strips of fabric. I assume it is for cheer-leading.

Narration: Meanwhile, on Earth, three kids who don't know each other are about to have the adventure of their lives.

Jackie: I gotta organize this stuff

Narration: meet Jackie, who has her own sense of style...

Narration: And her own way of doing things!

Here's Jackie's Official Cyberchase Trading Card.

When they picked her favorite line as "Make room! I gotta pace!", they probably picked her most iconic line. She loves video games, piano, and foreign languages, which is great. We do get to see her play an unnamed videogame during Season 1 Episode 25 "A Battle of Equals". The hero "San Man" is trying to save the environment by stopping the villains that are trying to pollute it. One villain is called Johnny Grime. There are number riddles, and they are the same sort of riddles that the kids solve during the episode.

I don't think we ever see her playing piano or speaking a second language on the show. Quick question: What are those shoes that she wears? Inez has a pair or blue boots. Matt has a pair of red and white sneakers. Jackie's shoes are a little harder to place. They are purple, and they have considerable heels. Were these meant to be high-tops? I don't know that I've seen high-tops with heels in that size before.

The big thing that people remember Jackie for are her dramatic outbursts. And her most iconic one is probably from Season 3 Episode 4 "A Piece of the Action". You can tell that someone in the animation department had fun with this one.

Here's a transcript.

Jackie: Great! Now we'll never get into Hacker's control center. And if we can't get in there we can't stop Hacker. And if we can't stop Hacker, he'll erase Motherboard's memory with the magnetite! Cyberspace is doomed! Doomed I tell you! Doo-hoo-hoo-hoomed!

Matt: And the award for best dramatic outburst of today goes to Jackie!

Jackie: Matt!

What else can I say about Jackie. Well, she has an amazing tolerance for cold weather. Even in Arctic Cybersites, she still made do with the same short skirt.

Anyway, here's the prototype for Jackie. She had a completely different hairstyle and outfit. She was also called Julie. Again, I consider her current design an upgrade from the prototype.

And here's the Who's Who document on her.

We get more discussion on Jackie being a gymnast and artist. She loves Instant Messaging. I guess that would have been AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) at the time.

[steffstomandjerryblog]

So, why a Tom and Jerry blog?

First off, why a stupid question? Or...aren't there enough Tom and Jerry blogs? Or maybe you're asking "Are you daffy?", no, he's a duck!

I love Tom and Jerry, I have been a fan since we rented a video tape of it in the 90s alongside Beauty and the Beast, out of the two tapes, we watched Tom and Jerry the most, but I did enjoy the Disney flick too. After we finished Beauty and the Beast, we put on Tom and Jerry and although I was familliar with the names and the characters (we used to have a Tom and Jerry Kids video given to us by my grandparents, what an introduction huh? LOL) I didn't know they were older than what at the time, in their fifties? So it was a real treat getting to watch some classis on video.

The first cartoon I ever saw was The Little School Mouse and already, my brothers and I were hooked, the scene that got us our jollies the most in that particular cartoon was the chalkboard lesson with the little doodles Jerry had done. Tapping his stick to teach baby Nibbles (or Tuffy) on how to deal with cats, it seemed all harmless and normal right? That's when Jerry taps the board again and my brothers read out "Cat chases mouse, mouse runs in hole, cats say bad words!", no really! We used to think that was extremely hysterical! Heck it was so funny even Nibbles laughs in the cartoon!

From then on, we watched the tape over and over until it was time to take it back. Other fond memories of this tape was the cartoon lined up after School Mouse and that was Cruise Cat, I can remember hearing Aloha Oe and immediately thought to myself in my head "Oh hey, that tune! I heard that in a Felix the Cat cartoon", I had a rare gift of picking up certain pieces of music haha. Cruise Cat was another fun cartoon, again this gave us another memorable highlight and that was my first taste of Tom talking. We all know the golden rule, Tom and Jerry DO NOT TALK! But we can kinda read their expressions and body language clearly, that's the fun and beauty of Tom and Jerry, uttering a word wouldn't be just as fun. BUT when they DO talk, it's just for a brief silly gag and doesn't usually last very long, something they totally ignored in Tom and Jerry: The Movie. This topic may come around later on.

So...umm...why another cartoon blog? What else is a cartoon crazy middle aged woman gonna blog about that's fun, nostalgic and full of excitement, slapstick, mischief and has been round since 1940 winning the hearts of so many movie goers? First off, it's Tom and fur-iggin Jerry! I've only ever met a few people in my life who actually don't like'em, it's shocking because according to them, it was always the same thing over again. Err...I'm pretty sure that's what William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were thinking. Who knew an academy award nominated cartoon -Puss Gets The Boot- would go on to become a hit and then another cartoon comes into the theatres. Tom and Jerry (originally named Jasper and Jinx) started off as a stay at home duo. Tom was a house pet, pampered and always getting beaten with a broom by his owner, Jerry...well, he's just a little mouse having to put up with Tom's antics while battling to get away from his clutches, after all, cats do play with mice, they toy with them and toss them around, it's no surprise that Tom hasn't yet killed this little mouse without leaving him flat on the porch (then again, I'm pretty sure MGM would be getting loads of angry letters and mousetraps). I know I'm late to the party, but Tom and Jerry are now 85 years old. Lucky! They were born Year of the Dragon (Alongside Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny AND two Disney films Pinnochio and my favorite Fantasia). It's a real bummer we aren't going to get a full on complete Tom and Jerry set (yet or at all) on blu ray fully uncut, but we can still cherish the memories, the fun, the laughter, even the tears of such an iconic, fantastic duo, we have the boys at MGM to thank. Bill and Joe, I really wish I could buy you a pint! When the boys have been giving chase, playing pranks, raiding the fridge (heck, that's four bottles of milk stolen and two blocks of cheese out of my fridge), have flattened each other with irons, cymbols, waffle irons, piano lids, have let our crazily entertaining painful screams, gasps, have made us laugh, cry and come back for more, there truly is only ONE Tom and Jerry. Fred Quimby's cartoons were a treat! They were fun, they were beautfully animated and dare I say it? They were sometimes even heartwarming! Without Tom, there wouldn't be Jerry and without Jerry, there wouldn't be Tom. So here's hoping this blog gives me many more rambles and memories and hope they bring back many memories for you all to share too. A little late, but here's to eighty five years of gags, pranks, screams, yelps, yowls, mischief, humor, jokes, cartoon violence and laughter, thank you Tom and Jerry for being there for me, for you, for everyone, but most of all, a heavenly thank you Bill and Joe. With that being said, Tom and Jerry can now let go of their paws shaking, while Jerry tips a wink, fingers crossed behind his back while a a lit bomb is on the ready. Tom can go back to chasing Jerry, strapping him to a rocket, using him as a paddleball, using him as fishing bait, trying to make a sandwich with him as a an appetizing hors d'oeuvre or a mouse sandwich with cocktail sticks pinning the slices together ready for cutting like a saw in half magic trick. He can continue playing with Jerry like a yoyo or...just luring him out with the cheese and failing with his paws caught in the mousetrap, poor Tom, always getting the last laugh...and laugh he indeed gets, thanks a lot Jerry. Whether you were rooting for poor Tom OR laughing at him, or rooting for Jerry and laughing back at him, it doesn't matter, whether they have both shared a happy ending of triumph or a failure and a bad ending, Tom and Jerry had something for everyone and every single watch, we always had a good time! Happy belated eighty fifth Tom and Jerry, you truly are one of a kind. Forever, the best of enemies, or frienimes? Or enimends? Whatever, without one, where would the other be? Other than in the ice box stealing the last of your cheese, milk and other yummy delights!?!? Eighty five years. Dooooon't yooouuu believe it!

The Day The Earth Blew Up

Oh, people call me Daffy They think that I am goony But just because I'm happy Is no sign I'm looney tooney! Went to go see The Day The Earth Blew Up - spoiler alert, it's great and you should go watch it - a few days ago, and really wanted to give myself a minute to put thoughts together enough to make a post about it. This is really the little movie that could, left to pull itself up by its own bootstraps when its home company wasn't interested in it - and helped across the finish line by the little studio that could. Praise for bringing us this movie rightly goes to Ketchup Entertainment, and always should: getting this made and released, let alone marketed on top of that even the little bit it is has been, must have been an enormous hassle and a huge gamble, and one I sincerely hope pays off for the studio. They deserve it, and animators could always use more safe havens out there.

Onto the movie itself. Now, I'm a huge classic Looney Tunes fan, with pre-Jones (Clampett, McKimson, and others in between) Daffy Duck in particular being my favorite. So even if I weren't locked in to support the animators and studio, this would've been an instant watch just for that. This film draws largely from Porky and Daffy cartoons, naturally, but in particular their run of "two roommates" cartoons like Porky & Daffy, Porky's Last Stand and Porky Pig's Feat. To be the most precise of all, this movie is an evolution from Looney Tunes Cartoons - the most recent major Looney Tunes television series which aired in the last decade - with much of the same production team, and which also drew mostly from that era for its depiction of Daffy and Porky.

This was a very good pick for a number of reasons, but the reason that really wowed me the most was in the narrative. This movie wasn't just fighting to get itself released, it was also a risky experiment in a kind of storytelling Looney Tunes has never done before. This is as far as I can recall the first ever Looney Tunes feature in theaters that solely starred Looney Tunes characters and their worlds, without filling the space with guest stars or live action characters like Space Jam or Back In Action, filling the space with cartoon reruns like The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie, or using the Looney Tunes characters to fill for other existing characters like Bah Humduck.

This movie had to answer the tough question: "can these characters that were created to work within seven minute shorts carry over an hour of story?" Looney Tunes has always been a franchise about trying new things and reinventing themselves in new ways. They needed to eventually ask this question. And the answer is... they can, and pretty well, actually. Porky and Daffy's classic dynamic are a good pick for that because they are a very archetypical duo. One is sensible, but naive and easily overwhelmed. One is off kilter and destructive to the other's plans, but also driven and a doer who makes action happen. This is a classic character duo concept that is pretty tried and true: maybe of all the Looney Tunes characters and their dynamics, it might be the best starting point for a film like this (though this wasn't actually the first attempt, but more the attempt that actually made it to the light of day), because it's one that traditionally works.

And work it does. It's the building block on which the plot is able to deliver structure, while still maintaining a world where everyone is as Looney and off-kilter as you can expect from a Looney Tunes production. Their number one ally is a brilliant scientist who is obsessed with tasting things like sponges and rock shavings. Their nemesis is an alien whose master plan involves world domination through bubble gum (played by Peter MacNicol and man do I miss him as Doctor Octopus). Things get weird. And they get weird while actually building endearing character arcs in a way you wouldn't expect for characters like Porky and Daffy that still neverthess work perfectly for Porky and Daffy. In the classic Porky and Daffy set up, Daffy is a screwup, one who drags Porky into insane situations and usually blows things up instead of fixing them. And the movie leans into this, exploring how and why they still work as a pair and as friends despite this, having an actual emotional core without getting so serious that it loses the core that these guys are here to make you laugh.

Visually, this movie is great as well. It's an offschoot of a television series, so there's a bit of more simplified character designs than you might be expecting, but it utilizes those rather than acts in spite of them, making the simple but exaggerated designs a part of the humor and adding a gorgeously vibrant color palate and sense of background and setting to make the whole thing really a treat to look at. And this is just a random note, but you'd expect a Looney Tunes movie to be very cameo heavy, as well. Both Back in Action and Space Jam, though pretty great imo, both leaned heavily into the "hey look guys, it's Tweety / Granny / etc" or "haha! Bugs is doing the Rabbit Season bit again! remember that?" vibes. But this film surprisingly has very little of that. There's cameos and references, don't get me wrong, but it's mostly to older, more historical Looney Tunes characters like Gabby Goat and Buddy (the one that hit me the most is outright obscure, as one the main characters from my favorite Daffy Duck cartoon - A Pest In The House - is a recurring background character). I know some people were disappointed that the alien villain in this wasn't Marvin the Martian. But looking at what they made in the end, I get it. That isn't the kind of thing they wanted to do with this film, it stuck to its guns on that, and I love the film for it.

Now, like with any comedy - any movie, for that matter - there's a couple things that didn't hit me as well. A few jokes here and there that didn't land as well as the others, but that's to be expected. This is a nitpick, but I wish the very last punchline of the film had a bit more set up earlier on to call back to, just to really push the humr of it. And plotwise, without getting into any actual spoilers there's a pretty major shift in the climax of the film that I found myself wishing hit the movie a bit earlier than it did. But that's about it. It's a pretty darn good movie, and I'll almost certainly be seeing it again in theatres if it doesn't get pulled early. I said it before, but go watch this film! Not just because it deserves support, but because it's fun. Watch it if you're a Looney Tunes fan. Watch it if you're an animation fan. Watch it if you're a comedy fan. Watch it if you just love to laugh and aren't self-conscious about laughing at something silly. Because silly it is, and that's why we love it. I'm hoping more Looney Tunes projects see the light of day, but it's not looking likely. I'm hoping more Porky & Daffy content gets made, but that doesn't look likely either. So I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this while I can, and I recommend you do as well. Now you know why I'm dizzy And do the things I do I am askew and you'd be too If the Merry Go Round Broke Down

[capcollector]

ok but 45 on that question list for all your ocs. that's one of my favorite ways to characterize I just think it can be really telling, before the war my sole survivor's greatest nemesis was the neighborhood housing association and he developed passionate hatred for specific lightposts or stoplights that didn't function right, bothered him, etc. lol

omg i completely forgot about that😭 thank you for sending something i’ll still answer these!

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC OC QUESTIONS

anyway YES i agree stuff like that is such a fun and telling way of characterizing someone. bc we all have pointless shit we just hate.

45. What’s something unimportant / frivolous that they hate passionately?

kinda similar to what you were talking about but i definitely think bunny hated suburban life. sanctuary in my canon is a much more obviously rich person neighborhood but i think that type of suburban etiquette just really got on her nerves. the way her neighbors spoke about others, having to pretend to be interested in a certain way, the fact her true personality would be frowned upon and how she just could not fit in. being forced to play a certain role in this setting. i think speaking more specifically though, something frivolous she hated was dinner parties in sanctuary. just irritated her to no end. these ppl are no fun. completely different atmosphere to the parties she used to go to/throw back when she was unmarried and in CA/NY. worst part was she couldn’t even like drink or smoke to take the edge off since she was pregnant w shaun for most of her time in sanctuary pre-war. so she would just have to sit there and grumble to herself while nate pretends he’s the main character.

alfredo gets so irritated by slow or unaware walkers. he’s spent a lot of time on the strip, in general just in more populated towns around the southwest, and encountering ppl either drunk off their asses and/or just generally walking slowly/randomly stopping really bothers him. in the grand scheme of things, it’s pretty pointless, but it annoys him. fucking move. how are you still alive if you’re this unaware. maybe he’s just a seasoned alcoholic so he knows how to still fend for himself inebriated but all he thinks is they’re just making themselves easy targets.

leon cannot stand the sounds of bugs. buzzing, humming, whatever. really, really irritates him. and he doesn’t consider himself someone who is normally bothered by typical “annoying” sounds (things like gum being chewed or pens being pushed don’t bother him and sometimes he’ll even be the one doing it) but something about insect noises makes his skin crawl. he also hates it when ppl don’t clean up after themselves. like maybe a lil pointless given the state of the world but it’s a courtesy he’s never been able to shake since growing up in a vault. the type of guy who will always help clean a table after a meal and insist on helping w dishes.

[commenter2]

What if Warner Bros. owned Roger Rabbit and co.

A “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” review video pointed out how though the movie was very popular when it was first released as it is today, Disney never did much with the franchise afterwards when it came to animation. Sure there were 3 shorts, a scrapped sequel, and a reference in Aladdin 3 (I’m not counting that Chip and Dale movie as everything was referenced in that) but I still think they gave up on it pretty quickly. That’s why it was a surprise when I realized that their rival Warner Bros. has done more stuff with the Who Framed Roger Rabbit franchise by parodying and referencing it in shows like Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, and even Superman: The Animated Series.

It does make sense as along with WB liking their bunny characters while Disney cartoons (especially back then) are more aimed at children and families, Warner Bros. cartoons like Looney Tunes are more aimed at everyone to enjoy to a point they are more mature in comparison. This got me thinking of what things would have been like if Warner Bros. had owned the rights to Roger Rabbit and co. the whole time and made the characters part of the Looney Tunes franchise.  Long text warning.

Roger would likely have had a Goofy like role as though not dumb, his habit of being clumsy and not paying attention can lead to trouble, like he will lose an important item by making it fall into a mail truck and would spend the who episode trying to retrieve it from the very dedicated mailman. I could picture him being a protégé of Bugs Bunny as from time to time the latter would teach Roger his ways of Looniness. Roger also could have been the bane of Bugs, as Roger would accidently cause Bugs pain, good for when there are moments when Bugs goes too far with something or when Bugs has to be the target of slapstick for the episode.

Roger’s inclusion could also have been a way to bring a twist to some of the franchises most popular stories. I could picture one where Roger gets involved in a rabbit season/duck season debate and while Daffy would still get shot, somehow Roger would get Bugs shot as well and similar to Daffy maybe Bug’s tail would fly off and do things like form a toupee or beard/mustache on Bugs, Elmer, or another animal. In another, similar episode I could see Roger having a gag where he constantly mentions his wife and in the end Jessica would arrive revealing she is the Park Ranger of the local area. She then clarifies that it’s neither rabbit or duck season as hunting season ended a week ago and Elmer is technically breaking the law, so she takes him away to be fined. Bugs and Daffy then bring up why Roger never mentioned his wife was the Park Ranger and he just simply says they never asked.

Another cartoon idea is that the rabbit community wants another rematch with the turtles. The turtles choose Cecil to represent them and while Bugs is confidant he would be the one to race, the others choose Roger given Bug’s past with Cecil. Roger states that though he will try his best, he’s going to have fun as he states winning isn’t everything. This of course makes the other rabbits nervous so they force Bugs to help Roger win the race no matter what or they will take out their anger about losing on him. Throughout the episode Bugs tries to aid Roger but his actions always lead to Roger falling behind and make Cecil mock Bugs which annoys the bunny. Bugs eventually gives up near the finish line but this causes Cecil to take a moment to mock Bugs which causes Roger to catch up and win the race surprising the two. Bugs then mocks Cecil for losing but sadly his fun is short lived as footage of the race makes it look like Bugs was trying to make Roger lose, causing an angry mob to form alongside another mob of turtles who are mad at Cecil for losing in a manner like in the fable. The episode ends with Cecil and Bugs teaming up to escape the mobs while Roger enjoys his win with Jessica. 

Maybe Roger could have played the main role of a “Peter Rabbit” parody episode, as maybe he is challenged to get a rare vegetable or lost ball from a highly secured garden.

Jessica Rabbit could have been a nice addition as along with being another female character, it would have been interesting to have a human cartoon character play a role that isn’t as antagonist or always a side character. Sure she would still have been the eye candy but along with how that didn’t stop WB from doing that in other shows for many years, she would still be as clever as she was beautiful and use that cleverness to clearly stop the antagonist of the episode she is in

I could see her having episodes where a just as talented female character always gets jealous of Jessica being chosen for something (like up for a promotion or will be the opening act of someone) and the rival always tries to ruin Jessica’s gig but Jessica always seems to get out scott free unlike the rival. Ironically Jessica would always treat the rival like a friend the whole time and maybe in some cases gives the thing to the rival, getting a win from time to time. Obviously she and Roger would have many episodes together, like where they go on dates but some guys always try to flirt with Jessica so she uses her wits to make them go away in funny ways before Roger finds out. These kinds of episode would end the same way as Roger would always see one of these guys with Jessica and we discover that Jessica was doing these things to “protect them” as Roger would go all chivalrous and uses his toon powers to make the guy go flying away from them, which Jessica doesn’t like as she hates it when her sweet husband gets all tough though she is quick to forgive him since he always goes back to his normal self. 

Just like with Roger interacting with other Looney Tunes characters, I like the idea of making her the owner of the cat character from the Pepe Le Pew cartoons, where she would use her wits to prevent Pepe from getting to her cat. I could see her doing things like give Pepe a heavy anvil to hold while he is climbing up a ladder or she just so happens to have a anti skunk collar for the cat to wear, making Pepe flee every time he got close to the cat. Course she isn’t always like this as I can picture one scenario where in an episode where she is a vet, she does a surgery that gets rid of Pepe’s stink which instantly makes all the female animals attracted to him. Another is that she pairs Pepe up with a raccoon that loves smelly things thus giving Pepe a happily ever after ending.

There could be an episode where Yosemite Sam, after realizing he is the only criminal to not tie a lady to some train tracks, decides to do it on Jessica but she keeps outsmarting him causing Sam to be the one to get hit by trains. The episode ends with Sam giving up but surprised that everyone is cheering for him, as apparently other criminals have tried the same thing with Jessica but they all ended up dying, so the fact that he survived makes him a legend.

Another possible episode is one where Jessica gets turned into an actual toon rabbit like Roger. We see her react and use the new form to handle a threat but the vast differences between species starts causing her to act abnormal (in this case sillier) as a side effect, so Roger has to try and change her back before it's too late.

The Toon Patrol, which I can see being renamed “The Weasel Gang” could have been an upgraded version of that cartoon crime duo of the small boss and the big, dumb henchman. They would be the troublemakers would commit crimes only to get stopped by another toon. I could picture a few episodes where Bugs messes with them such as after the gang steals all the carrots in the area so people would have to buy from them or when he discovers the weasels are going to dig a tunnel going through his house in order to rob a bank. They likely would have gone through the most changes, especially when it comes to some of the characters names and designs such as having Smartass just be called Smarty or Boss, Psycho would likely be given an outfit that matches his crazy personality like wearing a tutu with swim shorts and a Christmas sweater, and Wheezy would be replaced with someone else like a weasel with a sugar or screen addiction.

Baby Herman would have been made a man who looked like a baby. His main gag (which I think Looney Tunes did before) would be that he is a criminal or escaped convict that would disguise himself as a baby or in later episodes a boy in order to lose the cops. However while in the disguise he would suffer either cause the adults that adopted him were very stupid and irresponsible or he would get in trouble while trying to escape the school he is pretending to attend. Later on I could see him getting a redesign where he looks like an fully grown man but with a baby like head, picture that Babyface villain from Batman: The Brave and the Bold. His new gags would be that people try not to laugh at his appearance and that occasionally he will act like a baby such as crying when he gets caught by the police.

This also makes me wonder how their inclusion in Looney Tunes shows and movies would have changed them. 

In Space Jam since Jessica would be in it, that version of Lola Bunny would likely have had a different personality which in turn could have been a better step in the right direction to giving us her Looney Tune Show version. That or maybe Jessica would have been a cheerleader that distracts everyone XD

In Looney Tunes: Back in Action, after it is pointed out that without Daffy, Bugs doesn’t have someone to argue with someone gets Roger to fill in the role which leads to Bugs being shot by Elmer in that alternate rabbit season skit I talked about earlier. Though this team up is well received it makes the company a bit less money than what they are used to, so the VP that fired Daffy goes out to get him with Bugs following. Jessica Rabbit could have been the toon partner of the spy at Yosemite Sam’s casino and helps Daffy and the others escape town.

For Animaniacs, maybe its implied that Hello Nurse is Jessica’s cousin or niece.

I could have seen the characters have a big impact in Tiny Toons as that show was full of references and shout outs to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. One would be that Roger would be the founder/principal of Looniversity, something that was actually joked about in one episode, but again fits with the idea of him being a protege of Bugs as I brought up before. Maybe the show could have had a character/characters that were the kids of Roger and Jessica. Tiny Toons did have an episode where Babs Bunny wishes there was a female cartoon role model she could look up to so maybe it leads her to meeting Jessica who then introduces Babs to the other female Looney Tunes characters like Granny and Witch Hazel, maybe even Dot from Animaniacs. Either way the episode would end with Babs going from zero role models to several role models and realizing that if she works hard enough could be a female cartoon character for future female toons to look up to.

Ignoring all the bad shows we get to The Looney Tunes show. Roger and Jessica could be new neighbors in Bugs and Daffy’s neighborhood. At this point I would see Roger and Jessica wearing normal clothes but more on that in a bit. Roger would be a rising comedian as he is known for using all kinds of props in his routine, some that even parodies some old Looney Tunes gags like a projector will show stars and birds in one of his skits when he gets hit by “heavy” objects or his show will end with a hollowed out prop shaped like a anvil falling on him. Jessica would be someone that works at city hall and would be a great way for the characters to find out what is going on in the city. When working I could see Jessica wearing a business suit but outside of it would wear something casual, and her iconic dress would be worn on date nights or special/fancy occasions.

One episode could have Bugs being jealous of everyone liking Roger’s jokes and after fearing that he could be the new funny guy tries to out funny him. Another could have Jessica being in charge of keeping an eye on Daffy and Lola after the latter are forced to help out at City Hall.  In one episode where the Rabbits celebrate their wedding anniversary not only does this make Daffy wonder what his wedding would be like (even going out to wear wedding dresses) but this gives Lola the idea of becoming a wedding planner and being surprisingly good at it.

You know with Warner Bros. being in a Looney Tunes making role lately what with making Looney Tunes shorts again and the Tiny Toons reboot, along with Disney losing a lot money recently, I bet WB could easily buy the rights to those characters and implement them in future works. Heck while watching the Tiny Toons reboot this week (spoilers) there was an episode where a green liquid was used to harm toons by effect their Looney DNA, which reminds me of the "Dip" from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. This again just proves my point but its just a fun idea in the end.

What are your thoughts about all of this?

Welcome Home Watership Down AU character concept schitt below

Dramatis Personae

Wally: Adorable, tiny dwarf lop, very sweet, horrible social skills. Not high in the social hierarchy, but adored by all and appreciated for his insights into “Home” and its inner workings.

Barberry (Barnaby): Big, goofy bunny, somehow has a dewlap even though he's a buck. Silly, sly and full of mischief, yet terrifying in his strength and fearsome demeanor when situations grow dire.

Fern (Frank): The only truly wild bunny, a European rabbit with a boring gray coat. Comes across as grumpy, but only because he has such keen instincts! 😛 Excels at abstract reasoning (a struggle for most rabbits) and is very enchanted by plant life and "thousand-legged beasts" (bugs – rabbits in Watership Down cannot count past four and see quantities of five or more as one in the same as an uncountable thousand). Sometimes grows suspicious of the nature of the warren, but is quickly placated by how nice it all is. One of the highest-ranking bucks due to his instincts and stubborn nature. Kind of the protagonist, oopsie daisy.

Jewelweed (Julie): The highest ranking doe (and therefore the top dog, or "rah" of the warren) due to her bold personality and freakish strength. Very close to Fern, loves to play with him and listen to him prattle on about plants and bugs. Silly and sweet, but lowkey very fearsome.

Hollyhock (Howdy): One of the higher-ranking bucks, a long and lanky bunny with an extra (nonfunctional) back leg due to a congenital abnormality. Genial and sociable, with a quick wit and a fondness for conversation. His tall stature allows him to reach a curious little lever that dispenses tasty treats, which no other rabbit is capable of reaching. Uses this as social leverage, but will generously grant a treat in exchange for little favors (usually jokes or good conversation).

"Eddie" Eidelweiss: A stocky, orange rabbit, the lowest-ranking male in the warren despite his size, strength and speed. His easy-going demeanor leaves him easily bossed around by others, yet he’s never treated with malicious intent. Hopelessly kind and accident prone, very easy to startle (much to Barberry’s delight). Fancies Fern and his beautiful mind, but isn’t fully aware of this or sure what (if anything) to do about it.

Salvia "Sally" Star-Sedge: A tiny rabbit with fancy, bright-colored fur who swears up and down she's a wild bunny like Fern and may actually believe it herself. A self-proclaimed bard, knowing many of the stories and poems about El-Ahrairah (the mythical Prince With a Thousand Enemies), as well as an outspoken devotee of the sun god, Frith. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in raw tenacity. Bossy, but about in the middle of the warren's social ranks.

Poppy: A big, beautiful angora rabbit with long wool and a fragile heart (in both senses of the word), seldom seen outside her burrow unless she’s eating or drinking. Timid, but very sweet, always glad to share her luxuriant shed wool with the other rabbits as nesting material. The lowest-ranking doe, but still beloved by all. Self-conscious about her stature. Is very taken by how small and kitten-like Wally is, often finding herself doting on him as though he were her own.

My Review of Tomo-chan is a Girl!

How did I get into this anime? I’ve seen this advertised on Crunchyroll weeks before premier and a few hypes elsewhere. Okay, let’s see what you’ve got.

Tomo Aizawa has been best friends with Junichiro Kubota (or Jun for short) for years. They attended many schools together and were bros for the most part. Once high school came around, things changed for Tomo. She seems more worried about being seen as a girl and has developed feelings for her long-time friend Jun. Tomo even said, “I love you” in the first minute of this anime to Jun. And all she got in return was a, “Ah, I love you to bro”.

Jun is a dumbass! It’s clear that he wasn’t aware that Tomo was a girl for the longest time. It was probably in middle school when she wore a girl’s uniform. Despite that fact, Jun still treats her like one of the guys…which also includes butt-slapping. Jun really should think twice about slapping anyone’s ass.

When I saw him slap Tomo’s ass, my mind went straight back to an old King of the Hill episode. It didn’t end well for Bobby. But I digress! Tomo, I doubt this meat-head will ever see you as a love interest, let alone a girl. We have about 12 or 13 episodes to see if this changes for the better.

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: Holy shit! Same day dub? You’ve gotta be yankin’ me! Okay Crunchyroll, you’ve upped the game yet again. We haven’t been treated to this since the days of Space Dandy. And another rarity these days, the English cast actually sings. It doesn’t happen that often nowadays, but we did get Lexi Nieto sing karaoke in the dub. That was actually comical. That whole scene was. Good job Nieto! Before I go to the cast, something surprising happened in the cast.

A RARE OCCURRENCE: So, I’m about ready to eat my hat when it comes to this. Back when I reviewed Love Live Nijigasaki, I was pretty vocal on the fact that the fans wanted Mia’s Japanese seiyuu to voice Mia in English. I snarked and said it would never happen. Jump to this anime and holy shit, we have someone voicing the same character in both Japanese and English. Even though it is very rare, it has happened before in the past. I’m not including Pokemon here because it should go without saying that Ikue Ootani as Pikachu is a staple everywhere.

Sally Amaki voices the ditzy blonde friend Carol. Because I had the privilege of watching this anime dubbed, I got the chance to hear Sally in English. Hearing her felt weird yet somewhat familiar. I think it was mostly me trying to pinpoint who is actually voicing her. I didn’t figure out that it was Amaki until like six weeks later. The familiarity was because I had heard her once before. It’s because she was a member of 22/7. Damn, I knew I heard her before. Sally Amaki is someone I expect to hear more from in the future. And the fact that she’s fluent in English surprised me. I mean, REALLY fluent! Okay, that’s enough gushing over this. Here’s the cast.

JAPANESE CAST: *Tomo is played by Rie Takahashi (known for Emilia on Re:Zero, Megumin on Konosuba, Sumi on Rent-A-Girlfriend, Mash on Fate/Grand Order, Ena on Laid Back Camp, and Shino on Girlfiend Girlfriend)

*Jun is played by Kaito Ishikawa (known for Kiawe on Pokemon SM, Genos on One Punch Man, Naofumi on Shield Hero, Iida on My Hero Academia, Sakuta on Bunny Girl Senpai, and Rokudou on Rinne)

ENGLISH CAST: *Tomo is played by Lexi Nieto

*Jun is played by Ricco Fajardo (known for Tatsumi on Zombieland Saga, Mirio on My Hero Academia, Sakurai on Uzaki-chan, Natsuya on Free!, and Kyousuke on Danganronpa)

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Misuzu…my girl! I love you, but…there’s another! Even though I relate to Misuzu on so much…I’m jumping on the Carol bandwagon.

Carol for the win!

SHIPPING: I’m sure something will progress by the end of the season. That was my premature take on the matter. Now, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of the main ship.

At the beginning of the series, it felt as though Jun didn’t seem to be affected by the love-bug or even aware of how girls feel at a certain age. It’s going to take some time for this idiot to get the message. And when it seems like he’s showing some sort of emotion towards Tomo, Jun says something double-standardy. Like other women can do this, but not her. At least that’s how it felt to me.

Later in the series, we notice that Jun is really starting to see Tomo as a girl and question little bits of their relationship. In fact, in the first episode when Tomo confessed, he thought it really could mean an actual confession. We even got flashbacks throughout the series with how these two really were. And yes, Jun really was that fucking stupid and didn’t know Tomo was a girl until much later. But that’s when he started to feel something there.

…

I’m sure you’re waiting for me to mention Carol and Kousuke since there was a very powerful episode that involved some revelations and “I love yous”. But um, I think everyone here is forgetting some important matter to this cutesy crap.

They are cousins.

Oh yeah, the Misuzu debacle. She just used Jun to further her own advances of getting him together with Tomo. And Jun kinda did the same thing. The whole thing ended in less than two days and their relationship hasn’t been pleasant from that day forward.

ENDING: There has been some turmoil between Misuzu, Tomo, and Jun. Misuzu has been feeling guilty about all her advances of girling Tomo up in order to win Jun’s heart. Misuzu ends up distancing herself away from Tomo, but Tomo still lures her back with her forgiving nature. Now comes the Tomo x Jun dilemma. Tomo likes Jun and has been dropping hints at him throughout the majority of this series. Jun likes Tomo and the feeling has been blooming in him for quite a while. Things finally erupted when Jun admits he likes Tomo. But then he also revealed about playing it off when Tomo first declared her feelings in episode 1. So, things didn’t go that well if you’ve got Tomo calling Jun an idiot after he says “I like you”.

The two eventually have a long talk. They both really like each other. But Tomo has been thinking this through more than Jun. If they go into a relationship, everything changes. And depending on how things end up it can be either successful or will destroy the relationship they already have. But Jun wants Tomo as a buddy, a bro, and a girlfriend. They even go on a date to the movies. Unfortunately, another wall stands in their way to a happy romance. That wall is Tomo’s dad. He refuses Jun to be her boyfriend unless Jun faces and wins a match against him.

Tomo did not take this well. Jun of course was very worried as he knows he’s not going to win this one. Tomo’s dad is like Bluto in a judo uniform. Regardless of the situation he’s in, Jun is going to go for it. The end result, Jun was actually able to put a dent in Tomo’s dad and was able to make his hands hit the ground for a brief sec. Guess that’s a W here. Tomo x Jun is a go and this ship has sailed.

Unless of course we get a second season and we get a secret lover of some sort?!

No? Okay. Still a great 13 episodes though. Yes, this was a very cute high school romcom. Literally, all of the characters were likeable. Even ones that are rarely in it like the parents. Seriously, Carol, Tomo, and Misuzu’s mothers are something else. With everything that has happened in these 13 episodes, do we even need a second season? The manga is over and with only 50+ chapters, I don’t know. Manga readers, did they cover everything here? Is there any more material to make a second season, movie, or special? I know Tomo and Jun are together. And Carol even got a chance at love. But Misuzu seems to be left out. Is she going to remain the status quo or will she eventually end up with that twank that’s been following her since the beginning? I forget his name. I’ll call him a twank. I personally would rather keep this anime at one season. I wouldn’t mind a special episode in the future, but best to leave things as they are. Any high school romcom fans, come over here. I approve.

If you would like to watch Tomo-chan is a Girl, Crunchyroll has this available in several languages.

[dollkichi]

dust is a threat to national security! and it's made up of like 70% fecal matter like it's literally the shit of dust mites which are little bugs that live in your sheets. in fact, i have an expensive ass anti dust mite duvet because it was still cheaper than getting medicine for my allergies every month. blue is my second favourite colour after red, but it used to be my favourite. at one point in time i had around fifty shades of blue memorised purely to show other people that i was a bigger fan of blue than they were. (i am a very competitive person) i like staring at people do ordinary everyday things. humans are so cute. what's funny about my earbuds is that they're wired but wireless at the same time. they're wired to each other but function on Bluetooth. i find that funny. Fourth Wing is about a girl going to a college that prepares you for war, aptly named 'War College'. it has forced subpar romance and i hate that. the writing is also mediocre. the worldbuilding and idea is pretty good, but alas, it was doomed from the start with all the forced sexual tension. there's one line that goes, and i quote,

"*You are not attracted to toxic men* I remind myself, and yet, here I am, attracted."

what the actual fuck. why do i put myself through this. i should never gotten past the beauty (chef's kiss) of a masterpiece that was Life of Pi...

the tea was delicious! on roblox i mainly play dress to impress and doors, although i sometimes play tower defence simulator when forced by my brother. i don't play roblox a lot, but for some reason i'm picking it back up in the past few days with all the long roblox sessions. my roblox username is also cringe as hell because i made it when i was like, five 😭

my mom got free soap from her friend who runs a soap shop so i reaped the benefits. one is a regular long rectangle and dark pink, wrapped in a blue ribbon, and it smells vaguely rosey. the second is small and in the shape of a rose, in a bright pink colour. it very strongly smells rosey. the third is medium sized and has a cream coloured base with a translucent honey coloured top in the shape of a flower. it smells like orange. honestly i just bought the nightlights because they looked cool, i've never been one to use them. losing chargers is so relatable though- poor bunny nigjtlight :(

now my doll is stuck in the dark at night!~

</3

my nightlight is a Zhongli figure and my favourite genshin character is most definitely my love and light of my life Arlecchino <3

(although when Pantalone comes out its going to be him because THAT MAN IS SO PRETTY AUGHH I'M DEAD ON MY KNEES.)

-👤

SORRY FOR LATE REPLY, I WAS SLEEPING

WHAT. Dust mites are menaces and need to go. Blue and red are both very nice colors!! Memorizing 50 shades is kinda crazy though… but anything to prove that you are indeed the biggest blue fan. Being competitive over silly stuff like that is so real. Why are your earbuds like that. Why are they wired and wireless, that is so strange. GIGGLING AT WAR COLLEGE, what a creative name!! It kinda sounds like they were trying to appeal to booktok with all the forced romance and sexual tension. That’s a shame it does that tho when the idea and wordbuilding are good :(

What is Life of Pi about and would you recommend it?

I’m gonna steal your tea. I haven’t played a lot of dress to impress but I do like doors! I’m super excited for floor 2 to come out since the trailer released. There’s a game similar to doors actually that I’ve been playing, it’s called pressure. It’s well made and extremely fun! Anyways, we should totally play sometime. I wouldn’t mind playing dress to impress as long as you’re there. My username is cringe too so don’t worry… I changed it in a 2020 phase </3

Your soaps in the picture are so so pretty!! I am going 2 steal those too, mine now. I kinda wanna eat them. They look like they’d be good. They definitely sound like they smell good!!

OLD MAN NIGHTLIGHT?!?!?! Omg. Aside from being old, Zhongli is cool. Not my favorite character but also not a bad one. I love Arlecchino’s design!! She is soo pretty. She was super interesting too in the story. I’m excited to see what Pantalone is like when he comes out, he definitely is also pretty. I like his glasses and hair. I’ve always been a Venti fan since I first started playing back in 2020. I do really like Childe and Freminet + his siblings though too. I need to pick up genshin again… lost my 50/50 on Furina’s banner and I was like “I don’t wanna play anymore”, ehehe ^^;

Constructive criticism: Space Jam 2 and Scoob!

Ah yes, Space Jam: A New Legacy and Scoob!

Space Jam: A New Legacy

We live in a time where you can make movies about everything. Books, comics, video games, board games, old SNL skits and even commercials.

In 1992 and 1993, two Super Bowl Nike ads, "Hare Jordan" and "Aerospace Jordan" respectively, aired on television and featured Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny. Both ads were commerically succesful and led to the green-lighting of a film featuring Jordan and Bugs.

The project was closed when Jordan retired from basketball in 1993, only to be reopened in 1995 when Jordan returned to play basketball again.

In 1996 Space Jam was released; a movie where the Looney tunes recruit Michael Jordan to help them beat a gang of aliens in a game of basketball.

The movie was a big hit at the Box Office and did OK with the critics.

When I saw it I found it enjoyably OK, and still do. Sure, it`s not the next Who framed Roger Rabbit, but it`s fine.

Years later Warner Bros. decided to cash in on the Space Jam nostalgia, and in 2021 they released Space Jam A New Legacy to the theaters.

It didn`t do that well at the Box Office and received generally negative reviews from critics for its humor, overlong runtime, and particularly for its extensive product placement of WarnerMedia properties.

This is another one of those movies that I haven`t seen but I know what happens in it thanks to watching videos about it on youtube.

So, if I could travel back in time with the help of a timemachine from ACME, what would I have changed?

I would not make it about the Looney tunes competing in a sport against a team of bad guys. From what I`ve seen from trailers and other videos, the movie put a lot of emphasis on "Look at how many IPs we have!" with all the references to other WB movies, just like Disney did in Ralph Breaks the Internet. So I would keep the whole "Looney tunes meets some of WB`s other animated characters" angle. The LT characters should be made with 2D animation, or at least 3D animation that looks convincingly 2D.

Plot

Our main protagonist, let`s call her Jody, (played by Zendaya) works at some big megastore (maybe Walmart?) and is bored with her own life. She would like to go out and travel the world but she rarely has enough money. When she has money she doesn`t have enough time and sometimes she just too stuck in her rut to carpe that diem. One night her apartment is invaded by Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny, Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. (In this universe cartoon characters are NOT something common like it was in Roger Rabbit, so Jody is quite shocked she she sees them.)

The toons reveal that that there is trouble in the animated world, a big, evil space lord, let`s call him... Monty Cosmos (voiced by Don Cheadle), is taking over and is trying to enslave the animated world. (Not a very original idea, I know.)

Monty Cosmos` personality is similar to Hades from Disney`s Hercules. A couple of toons that have already joined him by their own free will are: Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian, Wile E. Coyote and Taz.

Bugs, Lola, Daffy and Porky tried to fight Cosmos but were overpowered, forced to flee and ended up in her world by accident and have been trying to find a way back.

Suddenly Taz breaks through the door to her apartment. A portal opens, Bugs, Lola, Daffy, Porky and even Jody are forced to escape through it. They are now in the animated world, the one who opened the portal was an animated professor (It could be an already existing character or a character made for this movie.) Jody meets not just the Looney tunes but many other characters as well, like Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Tom and Jerry, The Iron Giant, pretty much any character from an animated franchise owned by WB.

The story is kinda like a mix between Lord of the Rings and Crisis on infinte Earths, but PG and more humorous. The gang and Jody need to go to a place to find a thing that they can take with them and use to defeat Monty Cosmos, but their journey is not easy.

I would include Pepé Le Pew in my movie, but I would dial down the more problematic parts of his behaviour. I would also include Minerva Mink and Heloise Nerz (better known as Hello Nurse) in the movie, and I would imply that they were bi or pansexual and attracted to each other. Pinky and the Brain would also be in the movie, they would be working with Cosmos. The Brain however, would have plans to, when the time was right, get rid of Cosmos and take over his throne. This is The Brain we`re talking about after all, he`d rather be in power than serve the man in power.

In the end, when Monty is defeated, Fred (from Scooby Doo) shows up to see "who is hiding behind the mask" and starts to pull on Monty`s face.

Monty Cosmos: "Ow! Stop it you idiot! This is my real face!"

Fred: "Oh! Sorry! Old habit."

Happy ending. Everybody celebrates. Jody is glad she got to have an adventure and Pinky and the Brain return to their lab to prepare for tomorrow night.

Pinky: "Why, Brain? What are we going to do tomorrow night?"

Brain: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky — try to take over the world!"

Aand... That`s all folks!

What would I call this film since it doesn`t have basketball (or any other kind of sport) in it?

Maybe:

Looney tunes: Through the Looniverse

Looney tunes: Across the Looniverse

(Something with Looney tunes and Looniverse.)

It`s not that think that Zendaya did a bad job voicing Lola, (then again, I haven`t seen the movie) but it feels like the people behind this decision were thinking: "Who needs experienced voice actors when you have celebrities? People will like this movie because of all the celebrities!" While celebrities are fun you can`t rely completely on them to carry an entire movie. And since this movie didn`t do well at the Box Office I think we can safely say that this kind of strategy isn`t exactly foolproof.

Space Jam wasn`t a masterpiece, like I said earlier: it was OK, but it was an interesting kind of OK, and the later half of the nineties was an interesting time.

A New Legacy was more interested in trying to catch lightning in a bottle again by doing pretty much the same things the first one did in a time full or remakes, reboots and rehashes.

And yes, I realized that my idea is similar to Looney tunes: back in action.

Scoob!

Back in June 2014, Warner Bros. Pictures decided to reboot the Scooby-Doo film series with an animated film. After a few years, Scoob! came out in 2020 (not the greatest time to go to the cinema).

Set in a Hanna-Barbera animated shared universe, the film follows Mystery Incorporated working with the Blue Falcon to stop Dick Dastardly's evil plan to unleash Cerberus.

It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its animation, voice performances, and sense of nostalgia but criticized its modernization, writing, and polarizing casting choices.

Unlike A New Legacy, this is a movie that I actually did see.

So, if I could travel back in time and make some changes to this movie, what would I change?

I would have gotten away with it, if it hadn`t been for those meddling SPOILERS!

Fred, Blue Falcon, Dynomutt and captain Cavemans personalities

Fred is too much of a stupid dudebro for my liking and Blue Falcon is too juvenile and obsessed with social media to be a functional crimefighter. I guess these changes were made to pander to the 7 to 10 year olds in the audience.

I was gonna suggest that their personalities should be more like they were in the show but Fred and Blue Falcon didn`t really have that much of a personality.

So, make Fred more like a Steve Rogers-like boy-scout who wants to do the right thing. Blue Falcon could be like Kevin Conroy`s Batman with a little hint of Adam West`s Batman. He could deliver funny lines in a serious way.

Dynomutt should be stupid.

Captain Caveman should have been like he was in the show, voiced by an experienced voice actor. When he spoke I couldn`t hear Captain Caveman, only a celebrity doing a celebrity voice.

I would also imply that Velma is gay, because representation matters.

Synopsis

I like the part in the beginning with the mystery gang as kids, so I`m keeping that in my version.

Fast forward to the present: The gang is at a diner being interviewed by a reporter (Lose Simon Cowell, his cameo is pointless.) and she brings up everyones strenghts and what they bring to the group. But questions what it is that Scooby and Shaggy does that helps the group, she has done her research and says that most of the times that they have managed to catch the bad guys in monster costumes it despite of Shaggy and Scooby`s effort, not because of it.

Shaggy and Scooby object and try to come up with examples of how they help the group, but just end up helping the reporter`s argument.

Shaggy and Scooby start to question themselves, the rest of the gang try to comfort them.

Fred gets a text message that someone wants them to invesigate a haunted house, the gang drives to the house and are greeted by a blonde woman named Ms. Jaffe who`s late grandfather used to own the house. The gang investigates and the usual weird things that you can expect happens: paintings of people seem to watch them wherever they go. Velma finds tiny little wrappings of foil, the kinds you use for chocolate bobons. Shaggy and Scoob get separated from the rest of the gang, they look out of the window and see a strange, almost invisible UFO in the sky. Things start to shake, they try to escape. Fred, Velma and Daphne gets out of the house, but where`s Scooby and Shaggy? The house collapses and the strange, almost invisible UFO in the sky disappears.

The gang is devastated. (They are being watched by a tiny little robot, hiding in a tree and Ms. Jaffe is nowhere to be seen.)

Act 2

Shaggy and Scooby wake up inside a futuristic airship, they realize that they are inside the Falcon Fury, Blue Falcon's plane. Blue Falcon, Dynomutt and Dee Dee Skyes show up to greet them.

They explain that they have been tracking a dangerous man named Dick Dastardly and have noticed that Dastardly has had his eye out for Scooby, so they figured that the best thing to do would be to keep Scooby away from him.

All at once, an alarm goes off in the ship alerting that Dick Dastardly and his ship, The Mean Machine, are close by.

Dastardly orders the robots, who he calls Rottens, to attack the Falcon Fury. He says that he was so close to catching Scooby at the house until it at fell apart (literally), but he won`t fail again! He will get back what he lost!

(Note: In my version Dastardly has a habit of eating small chocolate bonbons.)

The Mean Machine latches onto the Falcon Fury using harpoons and is about to drag it in when Dee Dee tells Dynomutt to send out the beam that sucked up Shaggy and Scooby, but to put it on the reverse setting, so that it pushes them away from the Mean Machine. This works, and they escape Dastardly and the Mean Machine for the time being.

Now that they are temporarily safe, Dynomutt, Blue Falcon, and Dee Dee explain to Shaggy and Scooby that Dastardly is collecting the skulls of Cerberus, although they still don't know what they have to do with Shaggy and Scooby. Dee Dee comes to the conclusion that Dastardly wants Shaggy and Scooby alive, as he could have killed them earlier instead of just trying to capture them. Blue Falcon says that Shaggy and Scooby are important, though they still don't know why, and that they'll need their help on their mission. Shaggy is, at first, reluctant to agree but realizes that he can use this opportunity to prove to himself, and that reporter who made him question himself, that he is important and useful!

Back at what`s left of the haunted house: Daphne, Velma and Fred are searching in the rubble after their friends, Fred gets a text message. It`s Shaggy! He and Scooby are still alive, thank goodness! He says that he is on an adventure with Blue Falcon and also adds that they should watch out for a guy named Dick Dastardly.

Velma does a little computer hacking and finds out that Dick owns Dastardly Demolitions. He`s also stolen the first skull of Cerberus and the genealogical records of many dogs. They decide to go after him and help Shaggy and Scooby. The tiny little robot that watched them earlier is now hiding in their van.

Inside of the Mean Machine: Dastardly is lamenting over the fact that Scooby got away. He becomes upset at the Rottens because, in his mind, they are not nearly as good as his last sidekick. One of the Rottens apologizes for their failure, but that only upsets him more. He calls him a "suck-up," and to prove a point to the other Rottens, he removes his head and replaces it with the top of a vacuum cleaner.

The Falcon Fury: Blue Falcon and Dee Dee are searching for the second skull by locating areas with high fossil density. Dynomutt, on the other hand, is trying to find the skull by asking people on social media where it is. Shaggy and Scooby come in, their hands full of food. Dynomutt just got a DM from "a very reliable anonymous source" that the skull is in an abandoned amusement park in Romania. Dee Dee and Blue Falcon, not being stupid, ignores this, but Shaggy thinks it`s worth looking into. Blue Falcon decides to go along with this idea, just so Dynomutt can see that blindly trusting people on social media is not a good idea.

Meanwhile, in the Mystery Machine: Velma reveals that by cross-matching the biographical data that Dastardly stole, she is able to determine that Scooby is the last descendant of Peritas, Alexander the Great's dog. Fred changes course, as he claims he "knows a shortcut."

The abandoned amusement park in Romania: As soon as they walk inside the park, the Mean Machine ascends from the sky. Dastardly and the Rottens fly down and Dastardly reveals that he was the one who sent Dynomutt the DM and that he has just retrieved the second skull. Dee Dee, Blue Falcon and Dynomutt fight the Rottens as Shaggy and Scooby look for a place to hide. The Rottens chase Shaggy and Scooby into an arcade, they play "whack-a-mole" with the Rottens, trying to destroy them. Dastardly breaks into the arcade and when Shaggy asks what he wants with him, Dastardly reveals that Shaggy isn't important at all and that he only wants Scooby. He shoots Shaggy out of the arcade and he falls into a Ferris wheel seat where he is attacked by the Rottens but saved by Dee Dee.

Scooby escapes the arcade and runs into a house of mirrors, where Dastardly is waiting for him and tells him that if they join forces, he could make him "the most important dog in the world." He explains that Scooby is the key to something very important. Scooby refuses to help Dastardly and runs out of the house of mirrors, where more chaos is happening.

Dee Dee deploys the tractor beam, which pulls BF, Dynomutt, Shaggy and Scoob into the Falcon Fury. Dastardly is alerted by the Rotten in the Mystery Machine of the existence of Fred, Daphne, and Velma.

Scooby tells Dee Dee and BF what Dastardly told him. Dynomutt is shocked that an anonymous source on the internet could be so unreliable. Shaggy is disappointed in himself because he was the one who supported this idea. Scooby tries to comfort him.

Dastardly Demolitions (a factory in the middle of nowhere): Fred, Velma and Daphne have arrived and are looking for a way in. Velma finds finds little candy wrappings made out of foil on the ground. Suddenly a car shows up, it`s Ms. Jaffe. She wanted to make sure that they were OK and wonders if she can be of any help. Velma is not fooled by her act.

First of all: the "old house that belonged to her grandfather" may have looked old but she noticed some details that proved that it was built only a few days ago.

Second: In the old house she found some chocolate bonbon wrappings of the same brand the she found just now on the ground, a rare brand that is not sold in many places.

Velma: "You work for Dick Dastardly, don`t you?"

Ms. Jaffe (in Dick Dastradly`s voice): "Oh well, I guess the jig is up" (Takes off disguise.)

(When he reveals himself the gang reacts in surprise, not fear and disgust.)

Velma: "That... was my second guess."

Dastardly deploys his Rottens to pull Velma, Fred, and Daphne up into the Mean Machine and locks them in a cell.

Dusty, the Rotten with the vacuum head, walks by their cell. Daphne persuades him to let them out of the cage after cleaning out the dust in his head. They creep to the center of the Mean Machine, where they spy on Dastardly, who is using the two skulls of Cerberus to reveal that the third is hidden in a place called Messick Mountain. Dusty points them to a room with a communications device. Velma hacks into Dynomutt, telling Dee Dee that the third skull is at Messick Mountain. In the room, they find a pinboard, revealing Dastardly's plans for Scooby. They learn that Scooby, being the descendant of Peritas, is the only one who can open up the gates to the Underworld, where Alexander the Great hid his treasure. They also find a display shelf of Muttley's things.

Dastardly breaks in, catching them. When asked about Muttley he gets furious and tells them it`s none of their business. The Rottens then come in to take away Velma and Daphne, but Dastardly keeps Fred as he has "big plans" for him.

Messick Mountain: The Falcon Fury arrives at Messick Mountain, which turns out to have a Mesozoic ecosystem. Shaggy, feeling that he only screws things up, decides to wait by the ship. While investigating the landscape, Blue Falcon and Scooby run into Captain Caveman, the protector of the third skull. He takes them to an arena, filled with other cavepeople, to get the skull, they must defeat him in battle.

Fred, shows up to the Falcon Fury, alone in the Mystery Machine. He tells Shaggy that they need to go to Scooby, as he's in great danger.

Captain Caveman battles Scooby and Blue Falcon. Dee Dee and Dynomutt show up to help and defeat Captain Caveman. Fred and Shaggy show up in the Mystery Machine. Fred reveals that he`s actually Dastardly in disguise. The Mean Machine appears overhead and Velma, Daphne, and the real Fred are thrown overboard, although they are caught by the crew of the Falcon Fury. Dastardly kidnaps Scooby and escapes with him and the third skull on the Mean Machine. The gang and the Falcon Fury crew head back to the ship, only to find that it has been destroyed by Dastardly.

Shaggy says that he may mess up and fail at a lot of stuff. But today he won`t fail his best friend Scoob!

Inspired by his determination the rest of the mystery gang and the Falcon Fury crew start to build something from the wreck of the Falcon Fury.

Act 3

The Parthenon in Athens, Greece: Dastardly ascends with the three skulls and Scooby. He connects the skulls which generates the gates to the Underworld and turns the sky dark. Suddenly, the Mystery Machine appears in the sky, having been transformed to have wings and jets. Dastardly orders for it to be shot down, but Dusty purposely misfires so that Daphne's life is saved. However, the Mystery Machine still falls to the ground, it's wings being shot off.

Dastardly forces Scooby's paw upon the lock of the gates, opening them up. Cerberus appears at the gates, something Dastardly was not expecting. Cerberus runs out, creating enough commotion for Scooby to run off to the Mystery Machine. The gang is finally reunited! Dastardly goes into the Underworld, where he finds his old sidekick Muttley! He gets a flashback to the day when he first opened the portal and convinced Muttley to go through it. The portal closed and Muttley was stuck in the Underworld. They rejoice at seeing each other, grab as much treasure as they can carry, and leave through the portal.

The gang and the Falcon Fury crew begin attacking Cerberus. The Rottens, at the command of Dusty, deploy themselves, deciding to help the gang instead of Dastardly.

Shaggy and Scooby, with help from the Rottens, manage to trick Cerberus to go back to the Underworld. The portal is closing, if they don`t hurry they`ll be stuck in the Underworld forever! Shaggy and Scooby run as fast as they can with Cerberus chasing them and they make it just as the portal closes!

The Rottens, now good, capture Muttley and Dastardly and bring them to the gang, all tied up. Fred wants to see "who is hiding behind the mask" and starts to pull on Dastradly`s face.

Dastardly: "Ow! Stop it you moron! This is my real face!"

Fred: "Oh! Sorry! Old habit."

Dastardly yells that "he would have gotten away with it if it hadn`t been for those meddling kids!" The Falcon Fury crew take him and Muttley away.

Back at Venice Beach, the gang has an opening ceremony for their new base. The Falcon Fury crew shows up and Blue Falcon gives Fred a new, updated version of the Mystery Machine, as the old one was destroyed. Mystery Inc. gets a call that tells them that there have been sightings of a phantom tuna trawler and the ghost of a sea captain. The gang heads off in a haste, to pursue new mysteries!

And that`s how I would do it.

This little rewrite ended up longer than I had anticipated.

To be completely honest: I didn`t quite remember all the details of what happened in Scoob! so I went to Scoobypedia to refresh my memory and ended up copy pasting a lot of the synopsis into my editorial. I removed things that were unnecessary, like Scooby and Shaggy`s forced break up and Blue Falcon`s character arc (because this is not his movie.)

It is of course very easy for me to write these because I have the luxury of hindsight. And unlike the filmmakers I didn`t have a movie studio breathing down my neck, focus grouping the movie to death, forcing in unnecessary changes and pressuring me to get it made before a deadline.

Why do I write these?

For several reasons. I`m nitpicky, sometimes the movies I criticize aren`t bad, I just like my own ideas better, sometimes the movies I critize are bad, I care about good storytelling and it`s a fun excerize in creativity and script doctoring.

But also because I have a lot of of free time.

He's much more mature and calm

He plays bass now and can sing?!? Arf..i mean

His fingers are gonna be rough

He would often buy sweet potatoes and then ask if you wanted to share (LAYER won't stfu about them)

He tried to get you to indirectly kiss him with a sweet potato

He can't hurt a fly. the fly hurts him

Don't get me wrong if you text him about a bug or something he comes over but instead of killing it he just brings it outside

"BAJI THERES A FUCKING BUG" He scoops it up and brings it to the door "there you owe me" "owe me wha-" and then he grabbed your face for a smooch

He stays there for a little while talking to you about how stressful the band is

When you ask why he's still there he just says "it's still kinda fun...the feeling of doing what I like in front of millions it's kinda exciting"

"You sound like every bandori character ever- ur probably turning into one!" "Wtf is a bandori"

Speaking of the band how the hell did you two start dating in between the band and the gang....bro u must have been real funny

The fufu laugh.... "Fufu" "😳" he becomes so much more adorable its kinda scary

He would get you backstage passes

Whenever he sees you in crowds he smiles

Miscommunication will happen. It's usually something he didn't want to tell you about saying he was gonna do it by himself or that he didn't want anyone to worry

He likes singing you songs from the band before giving you small kisses

Speaking of kissing he prefers kissing you in a private setting making you all flustered as he wraps his arms around your waist or pulling you in with his hands on your checks

PDA is fine but only hand holding and laying on his shoulder anything other he just tells you to stop while being red as hell hand covering his mouth

He would whisper sweet nothings into your ear before you head off to bed asleep in his arms.....score 😏

"Sigh~ I got it" "Nah it's fine ill get it bet!" "Uh huh" "😳" Draken gets the jackpot while basically holding ur hand the whole time "there....why are looking at me like that"

He loves hugging you from behind when your least expecting it he just whispers in ur ear

"Hey bbg" "what-"

He kinda holds toman together another reason why ur so down bad he makes sure everything is done before heading to your house

He hit u with a hey bbg multiple times purposely making you bump into him just for a "are u lost bbg" "WHY THIS AGAIN"

He loves sneaking his hand into yours

It's better when you don't let go he just melts on the inside

He let's you put cutesy stuff in his hair he thinks it's cute, he'll flex it to his friends

LOCK/Takemichi

The Lil bitch becomes less of a Lil bitch

He would get flustered when around draken (draken = masuki) if you were to join he would hide his face in ur chest

"Aaaa your so cute takemichi!" "Ahhh stop it Draken!" "He isn't wrong tho just look at how much your blushing" "don't join him!!"

He gets all blushly when you show up at meet and greats asking for an autograph

He gets so flustered he covers his face with his hands in embarrassment even when you've been doing these things with him for a while

You teach him what sugma means....the hard way

"Babe how do you say among us backwards?" "Sugma?" "😏"

Speaking of the roof dates,the first time you tried to climb up you nearly tripped off the roof takemichi had to pull you up now you can tell he's thinking of it cause he cries everytime he thinks about it

He's very hard working offen not caring about himself when your involved

Bro would walk into ur house all fucked up u ask what happened and he tells you a super avoidable event and his excuse is "I was thinking of u lol"

U meet his family their screaming "OH MY GOD HOW DID YOU PULL THEM TAKEMICHI" "excuse me-" "oh u deserve better" "grandma wth"

He wound talk about how much he loves you to the other members and they would make fun of him not when your around tho they don't wanna embarrass him infront of you

"Oh y/n your so cute I just wanna smooch ya"Draken would tease making sock puppets with his hands "WE DONT EVEN TALK LIKE THAT" "heheh" "oh takemichi- OH SHIT Y/N"

The way he fucking crowd dives to stay away from your sight

Banji and Draken hangout with takemichi more offen they might take a picture of you two mad lovey dovey shit I'm pretty sure they make fun of him like tag teaming

Pareo/Chifuyu

What the balls he's a SIMP...I thought I was down bad....

He would basically worship you like people think he has a shrine

He's around Mikey more offen he worships him too

He would dye his hair like every week unless you said you liked that color on him

"You dyed your hair again?" "Dose it look good?" "It looks great on you!" And his hairs like that for a month

Not even Mikey can convince him to change it

Yo as soon as you ruffle his hair he falls in love all over again he might update his y/n shrine

He gives you soft kisses he's so gentle with you

He loves going to buy stuffed animals with you

You put stickers on his helmet as a prank

It's still on to this day it was years since you done that

If you ever would show an insecurity he wouldn't point it out but he wouldn't really care. Your the most important person to him

He hides his love for you infront of the band

Kinda impressive

He sleeps with plushies you get replace the plushies it's scary how he grips it

Speaking of sleeping bros grips you like those hospital armbands grip a wrist (can't even bite through one of those smh)

He doesn't let you leave if you somehow do he searches for a few seconds then finds you instantly

You just hear ruffling then the mf walks up to the bathroom just standing infront of the door...the bathroom your in...

"HOLY SHIT WTH CHIFUYU" "what I had to use the bathroom" "THATS WHAT YOU SAID WHEN YOU FOUND ME IN THE CLOSET" "😏 witch one?" "...oh my fucking God STOP WITH R KELLY"

In the band he acts alot more serious when you show up for meet and greats and very Profesional

As soon as he gets off stage he brings you behind the building and he just appolizies you laugh a bit and kiss him he didn't do anything wrong.

You share sweets with him and if you eat too much that you can't chew he eats some of it...from your mouth...score ig...

Chu2/Mikey

Oh no....THE AMOUNT OF MEMES HE WOULDNT GET

"Hey Mikey wanna try a soggy biscuit?" "Sure?" "....UR NASTY BRO" "WHAT-"

He loves attention from you yet doesn't at the same time

He clings onto you when your not in public, but when you are he limits affection to just hand holding and small kisses on the check

He's part of a band he wants to make sure fans don't go ravid

He loves kissing your neck. He loves it more when you kiss him unexpectedly or hug him from behind sure he may be a blushing mess but God does it feel good

You're the only person he would buy snacks for the gangs jealous you save some for them tho if they ever came to hangout

Suddenly he has a cup full of Jerky it's the only thing he won't share

He's the second main target for teasing just because of how flustered he becomes and how high pitched his voice gets

He would try to tease back only to get roasted it's one of those things where whoever laughs gets roasted next

He sometimes wears cat headphones as a joke. You call him a discord mod

He let's you play with his hair like alot he would make sure no one touchs his hair and wear it at performances

He's more emotional and hides in the closet when he doesn't want you to see him

You caught him once tho and he only cried harder. He thought you would make fun of him

He tries to act all calm and tough around you he wants to look strong so no one underestimates him and then you feel him tug on ur sleeve "please...don't leave me alone..i promise youll never see me cry again!" he would say between sniffles

You bought him a bracelet once and he tried not to hug you and tell you how much he loved you. Later on you see him almost never take it off he even bought you a matching one

He's very busy with the band. He comes over with them after every concert tho. Everyone knows each other super well

You would be kinda scared of how obsessed chiuyu is with your boyfriend...starting to think he loves your man more than you do

He would brag about his band to everyone even his rival bands what's funnier is that they ask you to tell him to stop

"Can you please tell Mikey to stfu" "what did he do now..." ""my bands the best in the world better than your bitch ass heheheh"" "that is something he would say...." Mikey stopped....for a week...and only a week...

TKP Addendums: Sonic #2

In our second look back at an early Archie Sonic issue that I mostly skimmed over in my original coverage, it's time to answer the burning question: are Verti-Cal and Horizont-Al really that bad?

The first story of the issue starts out extremely similar to issue #1, except this time Coconuts shows up to murder poor Crabmeat. Yes, this is an AoStH-themed story! One of surprisingly few, considering the early comics were modeled after that show

Coconuts, of course, fights Sonic and Tails, and they trick him into getting blown up by his own bomb by playing monkey in the middle with him (har har). And then... Sonic delivers Coconuts' severed head to Robotnik in a box

So this is where David Fincher got the idea for Se7en

After this, Robotnik naturally calls in Scratch and Grounder. Their introductory scene truly feels right out of the show. Whether that's a good or bad thing will depend on your feelings on that show and/or old YouTube poops. I'm fond of both of those things, so I enjoy this

Antics ensue, Sonic outsmarts the duo by making them bicker with each other, and Robotnik says the line

But now... here we go. The backup story

Cal and Al

Sonic is magically transported to Cal and Al's realm by collecting a bunch of rings, which makes it seem like it MIGHT be a play on the special stages from the game. Except in two issues we're gonna see the actual half-pipe stage, so...? I dunno

And then, of course, THEY show up. So, are Verti-Cal and Horizont-Al really as bad as I thought they were back in 2014? The answer is, of course, no. I didn't truly understand the depths this series would sink to in the late '90s and early '00s. But I still don't like them

Here's a comparison I failed to make the first time around. There's a decent chance that Cal and Al were inspired by DC's Mister Mxyzptlk. For those unfamiliar, he's a funny little guy in a bowler hat with the power to bend reality who's been occasionally messing with Superman since the '40s. (Viewers of the '90s cartoon will remember him for being voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.) Visually, he's usually as out of place in Superman's world as Cal and Al are in Sonic's world, but he's basically a mercurial trickster deity. An all-powerful interdimensional prankster. And that's a fun character archetype! Q, Bill Cipher, arguably Bugs Bunny, My Little Pony's Discord (before they "redeemed" him and he--god no don't get me started on Discord). And who doesn't love Duck Amuck, or that one episode of Ed Edd n Eddy where they broke reality?

The problem is that, as far as these types of story go, Gallagher and Manak seem to have had an extremely limited imagination with this one. Cal and Al's antics only amount to stuff like this for a few pages

They live in a world made of abstract colorful backgrounds. They stand on the edges of the panels. They finish each other's sentences. They mess with the gravity. They make holes for Sonic to fall through. One panel loses its color. (Or perhaps their home zone does these things on its own, and they're simply unfazed by all of it? It's unclear.) And that's it! That's really it. It's four pages of Sonic tumbling around this abstract void as the gravity keeps shifting while Cal and Al mock his plight. The fun of these cartoon logic trickster characters like Mister Mxyzptlk and Bill Cipher and whatnot is that you never know what they're gonna do next, but Cal and Al only really have one trick and it gets boring fast. And yeah, manipulating gravity CAN be a really fun ability, but not when you're only doing it in a featureless void

The other thing, of course, is that this is only issue #2 (or #6, if you count the pilot miniseries). Believe it or not, these two were the first real Archie-exclusive Sonic characters! Ever! Think about that. These two were even introduced before Bunnie. It's SO bizarre. It's like we're only on the second issue of the full series and Gallagher is already out of ideas for what to do with the actual Sonic elements, so he's just throwing in other random things that amuse him. And he wanted these two to stick around! Sonic tries to invite them to join the Freedom Fighters, and they break the fourth wall at the end to ask the readers to write in if they want to see more. Can you imagine a version of this series where these two are regular characters?

But, again, they're not the worst thing ever. They're just kinda lame, and a weird inclusion. I WOULD say that maybe this was just a random story Gallagher put together to meet a quota, and the editor just happened to like it enough to put it in the second issue. It wouldn't be the last time something like that happened in this series. Except... they returned in a one-pager two months later, where they thanked the kids who wrote in about them. So no, it really does seem like there was a concerted effort to push Cal and Al early on

Among the bonus features we also got a short story compiling fan theories about why Tails has two tails, a question I'm still shocked the lore-obsessed Archie comics never attempted to answer. (Seriously - Penders gave us the baby microwave to explain why Knuckles has his knuckles, but Tails was spared? I can't believe it.) The suggestions here are, of course, mostly silly references

The most interesting thing to me here is that Tails suggests getting his own three-issue miniseries, and asks fans to write in if they want to see it. Yes, they were thinking about expanding Archie Sonic into a multi-book franchise this early! In the second issue of the full series!! Before Tails had even been developed as his own character! It felt ill-advised to give Tails his own book even when they actually did it over two years later, so to see this suggestion this early is truly wild to me. They were really eager to cash in on that Genesis era hype while it lasted

Also that joke with Sonic is good

Last but not least, here's somebody talking shit about "the Marios" in the Sonic-Grams

Next issue: Bunnie's debut! And some other stuff I don't care about
