#Back when they were still playing with Bugs Bunny as a character

[irkimatsu]

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!”

“Take one, action.”

(Gummigoo looks over the still stood models of everyone in the Candy Canyon Kingdom… until the camera pans over to Jax standing in a T-Pose next to Looli’s model)

“[silent wheeze]”

“Hey man-“

“Why—“

“I’m just chillin’ man.”

“Cut!”

Miscellaneous blooper stuffs too:

“I’m sure that you’ve heard of your miss— oh jesus this dress-“

“You alright?”

“Yeah just tripped nothing to worry about.”

“… Why are you tryna cheer me up…? How does this benefit you at all?”

“… I… guess I just don’t want you to feel like you’re noth— I gotta sneeze ah fuck-“

“Oh my god.”

“A-ACHOO!”

“Ok ok we’re good.”

“[Laughing] WE WERE HAVING AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT!”

Once again this AU is too fun to write so I might also draw stuffs for it who knows.

[randomfoggytiger]

get to know your moots

Thank you, @sixhours!

What's the origin of your blog title? "I need a random Tumblr handle that will work. Love tigers; but that's my only clear idea." You could say my planning was... foggy at best.

OTP(s) + Shipname: Mulder and Scully (or MSR.) Unbeatable.

Favourite colour: Red! Neutral and blue-based ones, specifically.

Favourite game: ...Hm. The Sims 4 if it were good; Professor Layton because it's a complete experience; Animal Crossing: New Leaf/Nintendogs/Super Smash Brawl for my nostalgic younger self.

Song stuck in your head: Now the Super Smash Brawl theme.

Weirdest habit/trait? As a child, I ate sand and crayons and dental picks and ice and fake plants and etc. The impulse still lingers.

Hobbies: Writing meta, reading (getting back into this), listening to YouTubers dissect movies/tv/books/drama.

If you work, what's your profession? The small family business~

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Hm. Ballet dancer or nonfiction writer. Probably too lazy to be the former. ;)))

Something you're good at: Dissecting human emotions/motives? Maybe? Making food smell good. Writing rather well (when I have something to write about), though it doesn't have a higher education polish.

Something you're bad at: Communication, in-person. So awkward-- which is my own fault, and something I'm working on!

Something you love: Chocolate. Ice water. T. S. Eliot's poetry. Cold, nippy mornings (rare where I live.) The smell of a cold, green environment. Swimming (bad at it, though.) Ketchup. A song that doesn't depress me.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: Season 8 of The X-Files, probably. So much good that ties directly back to the first seven seasons; so much bad that can be easily ignored without changing its own canon.

Something you hate: Misinterpretation. Uncharitability. Immovability.

Something you collect: Stickers, when I was a little child. Have a sticker book (Bugs Bunny on the front, I think) filled with them, dating back to kindergarten. 00s made the best stickers.

Something you forget: ...Everything. If there aren't photos, it didn't happen. I'm dead serious.

What's your love language? I used to think it's Touch-- though that's incredibly important-- but I've come to the realization it's quality time.

Favourite movie/show: The X-Files. Good Will Hunting (most parts.) The Last of Us, Beauty and the Beast 1987, Frasier are new gems. I prefer watching people watch TV/movies than watching 'em myself.

Favourite food: Steak? No, it's chicken. Can't go wrong with chicken.

Favourite animal: Dogs and rabbits. Dogs because I adore them (and they adore my sister), rabbits because I owned two lovable, cranky ones.

German Shepherds and Flemish Giant rabbits should rule the world.

What were you like as a child? Shy, quiet, mischievous. Always up a tree or running away from home. If I did something I thought was clever, I'd look at the ground and try to hide my smile.

Favourite subject at school? Until middle school it was reading or grammar. Soon after, my interest in everything faded.

Least favorite subject? Chemistry or calculus. Biology and regular math and algebra are cool, though.

What's your best character trait? I took a quiz once and got Humor. Mine is naturally facetious. >:DDDD

What's your worst character trait? My limited patience (which bleeds over into a short temper.)

If you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? To get rid of the ant infestation out in the grass.

If you could travel in time who would you like to meet? I would like to observe Marilyn Monroe, as a shadow.

Recommend one of your favourite fanfics (spread the love!): I have a list here, but today it's gotta be @o6666666's Escondido, California.

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.

[imsosocold]

Grossyuckcreepy trans fem c!dream. She watches meat rot and cheese mold and milk curdle. She eats hives whole honey raw bees and all. She licks bugs off from the undersides of rocks. She spends hours looking for the perfect sticks and twigs to make nests out of them to put own knick knacks into before she sets them all on fire. She makes paper mache masks out of the dirty newspaper she uses as blankets.  She takes mud baths then makes pies out of it. She doesn’t wash her bras. If she got periods she would just let the blood drip down as she watched. She’s made out of mothballs and dust bunnies and moss and cobwebs and dried pigeon poop. She lives on hate and lexparo. She is forced feral but still flowery and festive with it. She turned Spirit’s leather into a leather jacket. She will never say anything directly to but she knows you. She acts into the preconceived biases and perceptions you have of her but will still  laugh at you for believing in them in the first place. She will play the blame game better than you can. She’s been through hell and back and even that won’t stop her. She bites and peels her nails and the skin around them until they’re infected but she still will claw your eyes out. She’ll eat you alive even if it makes her choke.“Fuck the system” when she was the one who created it even on accident.  She’s not sure if she hates you or herself more.  She’s fem coded through her rage. She’s fem coded through her caretaking. She’s fem coded in being dismissed. She’s fem coded in how she’s blamed for everything. She’s fem coded  in how  she’s disproportionately “ punished” yet it’s “justified.” She’s fem coded in the way people watched her spiral but did nothing to try to stop or help her. She’s fem coded in the way her flaws and actions are treated like unique independent evils. She’s fem coded in the way her words are used against her and applied to her in a way that doesn’t happen with other characters. She’s fem coded in the way everyone takes everyone else’s words on her rather than her own or even their own histories with her (including young teen boys words.) She’s fem coded in “ the discs are the only thing you even care about” vs “ the discs are worth more than you ever were.”  She’s fem coded in the way she is always watching her back waiting to be attacked. She’s fem coded in keeping things so close and yet so hidden to herself  that there’s no way they could ever end up being associated with her.  She’s fem coded with c!T in a codependent crushing mom sort of way. She’s fem coded in the way the sea angels that watch you sink are; both of you with open mouths in an attempt to survive with you trying to get air that’s not there and then trying to get something to eat. She’s not fem as female or feminine or femme but fem as in fuck you. 

Next is how c!Schlatt is is femcoded such as through girlbossing-

*gets hit with a squeaky sounding anvil*

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.

Summary: Part 4 of Being Honest

A fun day at the park gets Pan thinking about the dynamics of her family.

Read on ao3

I squished my face against the cool windowpane, watching the cotton candy clouds float by. My little heart did a happy dance knowing that soon I would be in the park with Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Piccolo.

I turned to my yellow stuffed bunny. One of his button eyes was loose, but Mommy said she’ll fix it soon. “Did you know Uncle Piccolo is back from his trip, Mr. Fluffles?”

"Pan, honey, are you ready?" Mommy called from downstairs. She always smelled like flowers and sunshine, and her hugs were warm like French toast sticks. Daddy was strong like a superhero and smart like the books with big words. And Uncle Piccolo? He was green and tall and didn't smile much, but his eyes were kind like a giant teddy bear's.

I hopped away from the window, my feet pitter-pattering on the floor as I scurried to get my little yellow backpack.

"Park, park, park!" I chanted to myself, imagining all the fun games Uncle Piccolo would play with me. Sometimes he pretended to be a grumpy dragon, and I was the knight with a stick-sword. Mommy and Daddy would watch us, clapping and laughing.

Running into the living room, I spotted skin the color of my favorite crayon. “Uncle Piccolo!” I shrieked scurrying to wrap my small arms around his leg.

He gave a rumbling laugh that reminded me of happy thunder. “It’s good to be back,” he said, running pointed nails through my hair.

“I wish you’d stop going away.” My lower lip trembled. Daddy always gave in when it did that.

 Of course, Uncle Piccolo was harder than that. He knelt down so that he was at my level. “I have to go out there to stay strong and vigilant. The same way your Mom and Dad have to go work.”

I dropped my head. “I know.”

Daddy quickly scooped me up into his arms and placed a kiss into my hair. "Is my little knight ready to conquer the swings?"

I giggled and nodded, the excitement bubbling inside me like fizzy juice.

"Uncle Piccolo, are you gonna be the dragon today?" I asked, looking at him with wide, hopeful eyes.

"Perhaps," he said, and I knew that meant yes. He always said 'perhaps' when he wanted to surprise me.

Daddy grabbed the giant picnic basket heavy with enough sandwiches and cookies to feed a small army, or so Mommy said, and Mommy grabbed her little purse with important things like dinosaur band-aids and bug spray. We headed out the door, my hands in Mommy and Daddy's. Uncle Piccolo walked beside us. He didn't hold hands because his were big and different, but he was still part of our special circle.

The park was waiting for us with slides swings and laughter and sunshine. Today was going to be the best day ever because I was with my favorite people in the whole wide world. No one could have a better family than mine—not even the dragons.

Mommy helped me take my shoes off. The grass tickled my toes as I ran, giggling, toward the big green slide. Uncle Piccolo's superhero cape fluttered behind him like a giant leaf in the wind when he chased me. "You can't catch me," I squealed, darting away just as his long fingers nearly grazed my shoulder.

He could easily catch me if he tried (Uncle Piccolo is super fast!) but he always pretended to be slow.

"Do you remember the lesson of the dragon, Pan?" Uncle Piccolo called out, his voice cool and smooth like the pebbles by the stream.

"Be quick! Be smart!" I shouted back, remembering the last time we played and he told me stories of dragons that were clever and fast. Today, I was the dragon, swift and bright, and Uncle Piccolo was trying to catch me with his wise old tricks.

"That’s my girl!" He laughed, a sound not many heard, but it made me feel bubbly inside.

I scrambled up the steps of the slide, my little feet pattering. When I reached the top, I looked down. It was high up here, like being on Daddy's shoulders when we watched the stars. But I wasn't scared. I couldn’t fully control my flying power yet, but Uncle Piccolo was waiting at the bottom, his arms open just in case.

"Trust your family," he called up to me, his face all serious but kind. "We are always here to catch you."

Squeezing my eyes shut tight, I jumped off the side of the ledge. And then there was nothing holding me down. I was light as a dandelion puff on the breeze. My arms outstretched like wings as I lifted higher. “I’m doing it!” I squealed in delight as I rose up to the top of the tallest tree.

Mommy and Daddy were both smiling at me. Even Uncle Piccolo had that proud look to him. But he also looked super serious like he was concentrating really hard.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swirled around me. It was chilly and tickled my nose. Trying to hold it back, I wiggled my nose, but that only made it worse. “Achoo!”

My arms wobbled like jelly and my body did a sort of wobbly dance as I began to drop, drop, drop.

I tried to fly again, but it was too scary to focus. The air whistled against my ears and the ground was down, down, down.

But instead of hard earth, strong arms caught me. Uncle Piccolo cradled me safely, his green face relieved but still proud.

This was normal, but Mommy and Daddy rushed over just in case. Mommy bit her lip as she moved my hair aside to look at my face. “Such a brave girl,” she cooed.

“See, you can trust us,” Uncle Piccolo rumbled and even though it sounded like thunder it made me feel safe rather than scared.

I nodded as he set me back down on the soft grass.

“Looks like you almost had it today,” Daddy said with a huge grin.

I puffed out my cheeks. “Next time, I’ll stay up longer!”

"Of course, you will," he agreed, ruffling my hair which felt funny and nice.

"And I'll be right here, just in case," Uncle Piccolo promised.

We played more games—hide-and-seek, tag, and one where I tried to copy his funny stretches and poses. It was like a dance, but he said they were warrior moves to keep strong and ready for anything. Mommy and Daddy played some too!

"Always be prepared, Pan," Uncle Piccolo advised as I tried to make my body bend like his. "Mind and body, both must be sharp."

"Like when Mommy teaches me letters and numbers?" I asked, finally getting my leg to stick out straight, just like his.

"Exactly," Uncle Piccolo nodded, a small smile hiding somewhere in his face. "Your mommy and daddy make your mind sharp, while your daddy and I help your body. Together, we make you strong."

"Strong like you?" I asked, pushing out my chest and trying to look tall.

"Stronger," he answered.

"Promise?"

"Promise," he echoed. And I believed him because Uncle Piccolo never ever broke promises. Just like Mommy and Daddy, he was teaching me important things without even using a book or a chalkboard. Just by playing, laughing, and being with me in the bright park.

“Push me!” I called out, dashing to the swings. As soon as I sat down, he was there pushing gently against my back. He was always like that, never making me go high unless I asked. I always asked. But this time I decided I wanted to look around instead of watching everything whoosh as I zoomed back and forth.

A little boy tossed a ball back and forth with his mom. Next to them, two dads cheered on their daughter as she climbed the jungle gym higher and higher. And on the bench nearby, a mommy and daddy handed out sandwiches to a bunch of kids. Everyone seemed to have fun, different kinds of families.

"Uncle Piccolo, we have Mommy, Daddy, and you. That's three! But..." I scanned the park again, scrunching up my face in thought. "I don't see any other kid with three."

"Is that so?" His deep voice rumbled softly as he looked around with me.

"Am I... special?"

"Very special," he agreed.

Daddy said we were special because we were something called Saiyans. Uncle Piccolo was special too which is why he got to have bright green skin, sharp claws, and no appetite. I was glad that I got to eat like Mommy; cookies were my favorite. But it looked like our family was different in another way.

“Because I have you Uncle Piccolo.”

He stopped pushing the swing. “Many children have uncles, Pan.”

I shook my head. “Nuh uh, not like you.” I kicked my legs one by one.

He gripped the chains of the swing and I could see the muscles in his arm flex. “Why is that?” His voice sounded kinda funny.

“Because you live with us, teach me lots of things, and you and Daddy are close just like him and Mommy.”

“Did someone say something mean to you?”

I scrunched my face up. “No. Why would they?”

Uncle Piccolo relaxed and let go of the swing. “They should not. Our family is not their concern.”

It felt like I was missing something, like the piece of my Barbie puzzle that went missing last week.

“You feel like another Daddy,” I said, kicking my feet properly so that I began to move the swing.

“Is that right?” His powerful hands met my back with a gentle push.

“If you feel like a daddy and aren’t like normal uncles, then why am I not calling you Daddy too?”

I waited for him to make a joke that him and Daddy couldn’t both be called Daddy because it would be confusing. Instead, he crouched down beside me to make eye level. I could tell this was a serious conversation, so I stopped swinging again.

“Well, Pan,” he began, choosing his words carefully. “Being a parent is more than just spending time at your house. It’s your mom and dad who take care of you every day. I go away to think and train.”

“That doesn’t matter,” I insisted.

His lips twitched up the tiniest bit. “I will always be here for you, in my own way, Pan. But it is different. Your Mommy and Daddy have a special relationship.”

“So do you and Daddy.”

There was a pause. “Yes, we do. But that is different.”

I tilted my head, feeling as confused as I was when I realized my favorite dress no longer fit me. Mommy said I grew bigger. Maybe this was something I would understand when I was bigger still. For now, all I needed to know was that we were family, and that was the best thing to be, no matter how it looked.

"Okay, Uncle Piccolo," I said, satisfied for now. "Come on, let's have a snack!"

I settled in next to Mommy who put an arm around my shoulder. It made me warm and gooey like a hot peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Daddy said something that made both of them laugh. Daddy’s arm was around Mommy the way hers was around me, and she leaned into him like flowers bend toward the sun.

We drank juice and ate different kinds of sandwiches and cookies until I felt ready to burst.

“There’s a crumb on your cheek,” Daddy said. He reached over, but instead of wiping it away he jabbed at my tummy. It tickled. His fingers wiggled like spider legs over me, making me giggle uncontrollably. I squirmed and kicked out my legs, but I didn’t want him to stop.

Daddy was laughing and so was Mommy. Then I saw Uncle Piccolo, who was standing with his back against the nearby tree, also had a small smile tugging at his lips. He wasn’t one for big, loud laughs, but I could tell that he was happy too.

After a while, Daddy got up to talk with Uncle Piccolo while I stayed and snuggled with Mommy. We watched the fluffy clouds go by trying to see any shapes. I saw a bunny, a whale, and a spaceship!

I looked over and saw that Daddy was holding Uncle Piccolo’s hand the way he often did with Mommy. They were both laughing. It was easy to make Daddy laugh, but it was super duper special to see Uncle Piccolo giving a full laugh.

“Look at them, Mommy. They’re so happy.”

Mommy chuckled and rested her head on top of mine making me feel cozy. “They are, aren’t they?”

“Mommy, I thought Mommies and Daddies held hands, but Uncle Piccolo says he isn’t another daddy.”

Mommy sighed. It seemed like none of them knew how to answer me. “What your Daddy and Uncle Piccolo have is special, but it isn’t the same as what your Daddy and me have.”

“But they laugh together and hold hands and everything!” I exclaimed excitedly.

“Yes, they do. It’s complicated. You will understand more when you are older.” I couldn’t see, but I could hear the smile in her voice.

“I will because I’m going to be just like you!”

Her arms squeezed me tight. “Like me?”

“Uh huh!” I nod so hard my pigtails bounce. “You’re super brave and kind. Like that time you stood in front of that big doggy to protect the little baby duckies.” I puff my cheeks trying to look as brave as Mommy did.

She laughed and it sounded like my music box. "Standing up for those who need help is very important. But you have to be careful too.”

"I will!" I promised, stomping one foot to show I mean it. “Because I’m also gonna be strong like Daddy and wise like Uncle Piccolo!”

Daddy came over and bent down to ruffle my hair. “Is that so?”

“Yep!” I bounced my head up and down. “Because my family is amazing!”

Daddy squeezed my leg with a huge smile on his face. “We are pretty amazing.”

I lowered my voice trying to be serious. “Daddy…I already asked Mommy and Uncle Piccolo, but why is Uncle Piccolo my uncle and not another dad?”

Daddy put his hands on my shoulders. He looked really serious. It made me nervous since he was usually all smiles. “In a way Piccolo kind of is like another dad, but…it depends on how you want to define what a dad is.”

“I love him the way I love Mommy. Don’t you love him that way too?”

“Not exactly. We have different kinds of love for different people.”

“Like how I love ice cream and Mr. Snuggles, but I eat ice cream instead of hugging it?” I asked, trying to understand.

“Exactly. I’m your Daddy because I helped make you, but Piccolo takes care of you just like a Daddy does. So, you can think of him that way if you want, but do you want to know a secret?” There was a hint of a smile now.

I nodded my head enthusiastically.

“Uncle Piccolo is a special name. That’s why he’s your uncle.”

I beamed. “It’s special?”

“Yeah,” Daddy said, voice sounding all soft. “That’s what I used to call him.”

There were still twisty tangles in my thoughts like how the strings got when I tried knitting with Grandma. I didn’t understand what Daddy meant by defining what a dad was, but what I did understand was that Uncle Piccolo was special and that his name was even more special.

“Then Uncle Piccolo is definitely Uncle Piccolo! And he’s the best uncle ever!” I declared.

Daddy’s smile turned all big and I could see Uncle Piccolo smiling too. When I turned my head, I saw that even Mommy was smiling. I had to be the luckiest little girl in the world to have a family different in all the good ways. I wanted to stay in that moment forever, with the sun shining down and laughter surrounding us.

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.

A concept for if I were to rewrite "Wakko's Wish" in my style

25 years ago, the TV series, "Animaniacs" received its feature film, "Wakko's Wish". It originally was planned to be released in theaters while this movie was in development, until it was later decided to be released directly on video instead, making this film the only movie by Warner Bros. Feature Animation be released as a direct-to-video feature. I have heard about this movie when I took a look at its trailer on my DVD copy of "Scooby-Doo!: Winter Wonderdog" in 2009. When I developed my characters back in the summer of 2011, I came across a picture of Dot lying in the snow, with Yakko's hands on her shoulders. And got me wondering how I could use that scene for my characters. So, here's a rough concept I've kept with me ever since. Some things might change if I ever do get to see the movie in full, but if anyone else has seen the film and want to build on my concept, leave a friendly comment suggesting ideas you have that can work. But right now, enjoy reading.

MAIN STORY PART 1 (PROLOGUE)

Right after the Warner Bros. Feature Animation logo introduced from "The Iron Giant", we cut to the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo with Bugs Bunny eating his carrot and Wakko eating a piece of the Warner Bros. shield until the screen fades to black. The Amblin Entertainment logo appears, and the background fades to a night sky as it snows, with the moon from said logo staying in place.

The camera flies down to the Warner Bros. Studio lot and we see Background Singer coming home and entering the water tower with stuff to prepare for Christmas. When he enters, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot aren't home. So he would explore other places in the studio lot such as Mr. Plotz's office, Dr. Scratchansniff's office, and even ACME Labs where Pinky and the Brain live, but no one is there except for the other Background Singers, and quite possibly Miss Flamiel, who also wouldn't know where the Warners went, but would still wish him Merry Christmas. And when he gets back into the water tower, he sees a note from Yakko that would remind him that he, Wakko, and Dot went to ACME Falls to help their sister. He learns that Dot is sick and has to have surgery. They don't know how long she'll live, but Yakko promises that they'll all come home for Christmas. The letter also asks that Background Singer doesn't come, because 1, he didn't want their human friend to worry. And 2, they promise not to get into any trouble. Background Singer worries for Dot and becomes downhearted over the fact he had something important to tell her before she left. To cope, Background Singer begins to sing "Go the Distance" (Click here to listen to the original version of the song).

MAIN STORY PART 2 ("GO THE DISTANCE")

Background Singer: ♪I have often dreamed of a far-off place where a great, warm welcome will be waiting for me.♪ ♪Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face. And a voice keeps saying, "This is where I'm meant to be".♪ ♪I will find my way. I can go the distance. I'll be there someday if I can be strong.♪ ♪I know every mile will be worth my while. I would go most anywhere to feel like I… belong.♪

The other Background Singers ask their fallen friend until he reveals that he's a wizard. He can't say anymore, but the other Background Singers still want to help him. All they can do is hope that their friend knows what he's doing. As for Background Singer, he can't decide whether to do as Yakko had asked or if he should disobey him and go to great lengths to tell Dot his secret before she undergoes surgery. So he takes out a flower he bought and plays "I’m going, I’m staying" while plucking the petals off a rose or a poinsettia as the sun rises. The music swells as he looks at the sunrise in front of the last petal and shouts "I’m going!", which makes his friends cheer, allowing him the courage to find ACME Falls and tell the Warners the truth, even if it'll hurt.

Background Singer: ♪I am on my way! I will go the distance! I don't care how far! Somehow, I'll be strong!♪ ♪I know every mile will be worth my while. I would go most anywhere to find where I… belong.♪♪ (Background Singer starts up his motorcycle) Don't worry guys, here I come!

Background Singer drives off into the sunrise as the other Background Singers cheer on their friend, and the events of the movie begin as the title is revealed.

MAIN STORY PART 3

At some point during the Wishing Star's flight across the sky, Background Singer could follow after it as if it was a sign to bring him to where the Warners are. Background Singer could even trip while running, only to find Babes' lamp buried in the snow. And from thereon, Babes would accompany Background Singer for the rest of his adventure. And when the word gets out about the wishing star, Waldo could make a deal with King Salazar, allowing him and his army to be hired by the tyrant to hinder the others and prevent them from reaching the wishing star.

Meanwhile, Background Singer and Babes arrive at ACME Falls too late, and see that everything is deserted, until a blue snowflake floats down from the sky, where we meet Nathan, the Wizard of the North and the seer of ACME Falls. He's like a mixture of Glinda from "The Wizard of Oz", Merlin from "The Sword in the Stone", and perhaps The Winter Warlock from "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" (but without his evil demeanor). Nathan would show Background Singer what his friends are up to, as well as Waldo and King Salazar. Then he would grant him and Babes a quest to defeat the King Salazar and Waldo and end their tyranny. When he and his snow fairies float back up the sky as a flurry of snow, Background Singer and Babes follow the tracks in the snow.

At some point, Background Singer and Babes would talk about the wishing star Nathan mentioned earlier, and Background Singer would ask Babes if there's anything he would want if he touched that star. Babes is confused, but then explains that being free is all that he wants. Yes, he's a genie, but living in his lamp has its consequences, mainly due to Waldo and anyone who'd be greedy enough to make bad wishes. He knows Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and even Background Singer wouldn't take advantage of his powers, and he trusts his human friend to guard the lamp with his life, but still wishes he can see the world without having to look out for his own lamp. Background Singer can relate to this and would trust him with the truth that he was a wizard all along. He'll even make a deal with Babes on using only two wishes for emergencies, with his last wish being saved for setting Babes free. Babes accepts and swears his loyalty to Background Singer. His human friend’s secret will be safe with him.

Background Singer and Babes would stumble on some military base camp and would be captured by Manfred Mink (whom I personally created as Minerva Mink's grandfather and a military general). Before Manfred can interrogate Background Singer, his demeanor changes when he recognizes him and offers him a place in the military to end King Salazar's tyranny. He and army don't care about the wishing star. What matters to them is killing the king and claiming his spot of land for the greater good. I don't know if "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from "Mulan" should be used or not, but we can have a military training sequence of Background Singer and Babes in the army as they practice how they're going to defeat Waldo and King Salazar. When the time is ready, Manfred and his army mount their war horses and march into King Salazar's grounds.

In the part when Yakko, Wakko, and Dot are chained in the cave where they are to be executed, Wizard Waldo brags about how he's finally got the Warners and how this time, they have no way to escape. He would even sing a cover of "King K. Rool's Finest Hour" as he gloats. (Click here to listen to the original version of the song. Down below is how I would envision a cover for this song.)

MAIN STORY PART 4 ("WIZARD WALDO'S FINEST HOUR")

Wizard Waldo (Spoken): ♪It's great to be a mage! I seem to have a knack, for taking everything I want, and giving nothing back!♪ ♪I'll take away your wishing star, while I please King Salazar! And I'll watch you perish, while I'm munching caviar!♪

Wizard Waldo (Sung): ♪Now that I have the power, this is my finest hour! Nothing on this earth can stop me now!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken): ♪Everything is ours! We finally have control!♪ (To Yakko) Oh, excuse me. I hope I don't sound too droll. ♪I'll release my flying monkeys, and assemble both our armies! And we'll put an end to your hero's legacy!♪

Waldo flies out of the cave as his guards and Dragorillas circle around the castle, making sure no one goes to the wishing star or trespasses on King Salazar's castle grounds.

Wizard Waldo (Sung): ♪Soon, when you're all devoured, this is my finest hour! Bait you on my hook just like a worm!♪ ♪And once you're all cooked in my stew, Background Singer will meet his doom! It gives me so much joy to watch him squirm!♪

While marching, Waldo's guards chant "♪Oh we oh, yo-oh!♪" during an extended instrumental portion of the song to give this scene a sinister effect. Waldo could even ask his dragorillas to go find Background Singer and bring him Babes' magic lamp. The dragorillas fly off as Waldo starts to sing the rest of the song, with his guards' chanting overlapping with Waldo singing in rhythm. Waldo could even appear in a cloud of smoke, revealing himself in a tower he has planned for Background Singer to stay in as his prisoner.

Waldo's General and guards (While marching) (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪Oh we oh, yo-oh!♪

Wizard Waldo (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪Fools! As I watch you cower, this is my finest hour!♪

Waldo's General and guards (While marching) (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪Oh we oh, yo-oh!♪

Wizard Waldo (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪Nothing on this earth can stop me now!♪

Waldo's General and guards (While marching) (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪Oh we oh, yo-oh!♪

Wizard Waldo (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪And as I watch you from this tower, this is my finest hour!♪

Waldo's General and guards (While marching) (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪Oh we oh, yo-oh!♪

Wizard Waldo (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪No one in this world will save you now!♪

Waldo's General and guards (While marching) (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪Oh we oh, yo-oh!♪

Wizard Waldo (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪With the Warners soon devoured, this is my finest hour!♪

Waldo's General and guards (While marching) (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪Oh we oh, yo-oh!♪

Wizard Waldo (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪Bait you on my hook just like a worm!♪

Waldo's General and guards (While marching) (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪Oh we oh, yo-oh!♪

Wizard Waldo (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪And as those Warners boil and fry, Background Singer is gonna die!♪

(The music slows down as the song comes to a close)

Waldo's General and guards (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪Oh… we… oh!♪

Wizard Waldo (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪It gives me so much joy to watch him squirm!♪♪

MAIN STORY PART 5

As Manfred and his army march through the woods and all the places the Warners were, Background Singer, whom the general trusts requests that he let him in on his secret. But before he can tell Manfred, they see Waldo's dragorillas and prepare to shoot them down. It was a tough battle, but some Dragorillas managed to grab Background Singer, who's having trouble with reaching into his pants pockets. The army just watch Background Singer be carried off and don't know what else to do. This is because if they tried to shoot down Waldo’s pets, Background Singer could’ve gotten hurt.

At King Salazar's castle, the evil wizard welcomes Background Singer into his tower and demands he gives over the lamp or his friends will perish. Background Singer, pretending to feel defeated would ask Waldo to pick a hand. When Waldo chooses the right shoulder, Background Singer gives a flat "wrong" and punches Waldo cold. Background Singer rubs Babes' lamp and wishes for him to go get help. Waldo wakes up seeing Babes fly away with the lamp and gets mad at Background Singer for tricking him. And similarly to "The Wizard of Oz", Waldo shows Background Singer an hourglass to remind him how much longer he has to be alive. The hourglass is filled with snow on top, with melted water on the bottom (or something similar to that, even if it should just be sand.)

Wizard Waldo: See this? That's how much longer you've got to stay alive. And it isn't long, I'm afraid, Singer. It isn't very long at all. Just long enough for me to think of an unpleasant, but wildly entertaining death for you. Of course, there is one way to escape. (Shows Background Singer the window, and we see a shot of the long ground) Over that window. It's a long jump down, and worst of all, the rocks down there are sharp. So, in case you decide to take that route, be a friend and put a message on the windowsill, saying you killed yourself to see your precious princess Dotty. It'll save us enough trouble from having to see you two live happily ever after in public.

Background Singer: How could anyone be so nasty!? And mean? And cruel? (Waldo whacks his scepter at him)

Wizard Waldo: Practice! All in good practice! (Runs outside the room and uses his scepter to magically block the doorway with a glacier of ice) Ta-ta. Have an "ice" day! I can't wait forever to kill those Warners! (Evilly laughs and runs off)

Also like in "The Wizard of Oz", Waldo's magic would reveal Yakko, Wakko, and Dot in chains through a reflection of the ice wall. The Warners disappear as Background Singer pleads for them to come back, only for Waldo to appear just so he can taunt Background Singer.

Wizard Waldo (In the wall's reflection): (Mocks Background Singer) "Yakko, Wakko, Dot, come back! Come back!" (Normal voice) I'll let you see your friends, Background Singer. (Evilly laughs and disappears)

As Waldo lets out his evil laugh, Background Singer uses all of his built up anger to punch the wall, only to hurt his hand. Background Singer now feels truly scared and traumatized by Waldo. Fortunately, Babes came back to General Manfred Mink with the other Background Singers from home. Manfred would question Babes' choice, but would allow them to join long enough so they can save their friend.

MAIN STORY PART 5 ("THE MARCH OF WALDO'S GUARDS")

They make it to King Salazar's castle, and Babes used his X-Ray vision (through his magic) to see Background Singer locked in the tower, with the Warners chained up in the cave. They suddenly hear Waldo's guards chanting as they march (Click here to listen to the original music track, or here for Bobby McFerrin's cover, or here to listen to my singing as Waldo's guards) and sneak across the castle grounds so they can hide and discuss a plan.

When they make it under the bridge to King Salazar's castle, Manfred tells the army his plan to snag some of Waldo's guards and dress up as them to sneak into the cave. Little do they know that some of Waldo's guards were eavesdropping on them.

Additional Background Singer: We don't have to look very far.

Manfred: Why not?

(The camera shot shows Waldo's guards standing right behind the soldiers)

Additional Background Singer: They're standing right behind us.

To the dramatic stinger, the army looks behind them in horror as Waldo's guards jump on Manfred and his army. And in a cloud of smoke, some weapons and clothing are thrown around until we see Manfred, Babes, and all the other Background Singers and soldiers posing as Waldo's guards. They see Waldo's general leading the remaining guards in line and Manfred gives a gesture to follow them in the back of the line. They all try singing along with Waldo's guards, with some singing off-key, but they manage to get into the cave as the general yells "Company... HALT!". In response, Waldo's remaining guards yell "YO!" and salute on the last note of the song.

MAIN STORY PART 6 (BACKGROUND SINGER'S ESCAPE)

King Salazar's Captain of the Guard prepares to kill Dot, only to be moved by her cuteness and free the Warners. Waldo's guards snag them and in another part of the castle ground, reveal themselves to be Manfred, Manfred's soldiers, Babes Bunny, and all the other Background Singers back at home. They remask and have the Warners pretend to be dead, which fools Waldo and King Salazar long enough to find Background Singer's room. Background Singer sees that all the snow has almost melted and begins to ask for help, only for Background Singer to see his friends as Babes melts down the wall with his own magic. Background Singer becomes overjoyed and he and the Warners hug. Yakko is relieved that Background Singer came and just when he's about to tell Dot something important, Dot tells him that it has to wait until they help their friend escape. So Background Singer uses his grapple gun microphone to climb down the tower, with Babes holding on to the cable. One by one, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot climb down the cable and they make it down just as Waldo's guards shout "A-HA!" and expose Babes. The guards carry him to show Waldo, who would trap him in something like a magic bubble similar to what Jafar did to Genie in "Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar". This way, Babes can't use his magic to free himself.

MAIN STORY PART 7 (DOT'S SACRIFICE AND DEATH)

As King Salazar notices the Warners freed with their human friend, Dot starts to lose energy, but after Yakko says "C'mon, Dot. We're almost there.", Waldo shows up in a cloud of smoke.

Wizard Waldo: Going somewhere? Well we won't hear of it, will we, boys?

(Waldo's guards growl and point their circle of spears and guns at Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and Background Singer. Then we see the four frightened up-close.)

Yakko (Nervously): Uh... I think we've outstayed our welcome.

Wakko (Scared): We're trapped! Trapped like mice; rats!

(Waldo's guards step away as Waldo walks up to them)

Wizard Waldo: Ring around the rosy, a pocket full of spears. (Reveals his hourglass now full of water) The flakes of time have run out for all of you! The first to die will see the last two go before him! And their sick little sister too!

Waldo closes his eyes and points to everyone with the glass bulb of his scepter, which will decide who should die first.

Wizard Waldo (Pointing his scepter to the Warners and Background Singer): Eeny... meeny... miny... moe. Who will be the first to go? Yakko? (Yakko gasps in horror) Background Singer? Wakko?

A picture of Dot magically appears in the bulb of Waldo's scepter, allowing Waldo to make his choice.

Wizard Waldo (In realization): No. My scepter has chosen DOT SHALL GO! (Evilly laughs)

Background Singer (Mad): You wouldn't dare.

Wizard Waldo: Oh, but I will! And don't worry, Singer, you'll join her! But first, watch your girlfriend…

Waldo stops as he sees the Warners running while saying "die?" in confusion. Frustrated, he orders his guards to attack Background Singer and make sure he doesn't save his friends. Then he orders his remaining guards to light up the cannons and shoot the Warners, but make sure to hit Dot twice as hard. King Salazar orders "Get them! Fire!" and Waldo and King Salazar's men shoot cannonballs at the Warners.

Wizard Waldo: (Evilly laughs) Say goodbye, Warners! You're all blown up! (Lets out another evil laugh)

King Salazar (Victoriously): Yes!

We focus on Dot, still hurt from the explosion, she hears Waldo mention how he's ready to kill Background Singer. This immediately makes Dot wake up and run back to save her human boyfriend. We see Background Singer chained to a spear just like what Waldo did to him previously in Part 2 of the episode, "Hooray for North Hollywood" (but that's another story). Like before, Waldo plans to use the spear as a lightning rod to electrocute Background Singer and take his life away. The sky darkens as Waldo uses his scepter to summon a lightning storm from the sky. He says the magic words, "Lightnithicous Stormithamous!" and strikes a lightning bolt down from the sky. Dot, in slow motion jumps to the spear and pushes Background Singer out of the way, with her being struck by lightning instead, much to the shock of Waldo, King Salazar, and even their guards, including Ralph and Mr. Plotz.

Now that Background Singer is freed, he smiles and thanks Dot for her selfless act, only for his smile to vanish when he sees Dot lying motionless. Yakko and Wakko wake up and shout "NO!" and they come to Background Singer as they watch Dot die. With Dot's dying breath, she and Yakko tell Dot's story to everyone, and she dies after saying "Call me Dotty and you die". With everyone in tears, including the Background Singers, Waldo slowly smiles victoriously and says "I did it. I did it!". Then yells "I DID IT! FINALLY KILLED A WARNER SIBLING!". Waldo picks up the dead Dot to show everyone and announces that he can finally bring back his brother, Egon. After announcing his evil plan, Waldo and his guards begin to sing "You Are Dead" from "Total Distortion" (Click here to listen to the original version of the song. Down below is how I would envision a cover for this song.)

MAIN STORY PART 8 ("YOU ARE DEAD")

Waldo's General and guards (While surrounding Dot): ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead! You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken): ♪Thought you were hot? Guess what, you're not.♪

Waldo's General and guards: ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken): ♪You brought your whole adventure to a screeching halt!♪

Waldo's General and guards: ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

Wizard Waldo: ♪Your heart has stopped and your brain is co-old! You're so so de-head!♪

Waldo's Guard #1: ♪And now your body is starting to mold!♪

Wizard Waldo and all of his guards: ♪You're so so de-head!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken): ♪This affection, cuts like a knife! (Waldo throws a dagger at Yakko and Wakko, who dodge the incoming sword.)♪

Waldo's General and guards: ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken): ♪What a pitiful waste of a Warner life!♪

Waldo's General and guards: ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

(Waldo puts his ear on Dot's chest and Waldo's guards hold Dot's hands and play with her arms by stretching and waving them around)

Wizard Waldo: ♪Her body's soft and her hands feel co-old! You're so so de-head!♪

Waldo's Guard #1: ♪And now your (Shows Dot's toenails to the audience) nails are starting to mold!♪

Wizard Waldo and all of his guards: ♪You're so so de-head!♪

Waldo's General and guards (In harmony): ♪Oh...♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken): ♪Aw, such a sad sad story. She's gone, empty head! In the red!♪

Waldo's General and guards (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪You are dead. Oh...♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken) (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪(Points to Dot) Game over! She's through!♪

Waldo's Guard #2 (Spoken): ♪She's gone!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken): ♪How does it feel to be dead?♪

Waldo's General and guards: ♪You are dead.♪

(Waldo's guards start tossing Dot and pass her around to each of Waldo's other guards and dragorillas)

Waldo's General and guards (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken) (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪Bye-bye! You're history! You're through! You're dust!♪

Waldo's General and guards (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

(Waldo approaches who looks like an animated version of "Animaniacs" composer, Richard Stone.)

Wizard Waldo (Spoken) (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪I hope you've improved your lousy score! (Catches Dot)♪

Waldo's General and guards (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken) (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪Adios! See ya later! Be gone!♪

Waldo's General and guards (Simultaneously with Waldo): ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪

Wizard Waldo (Spoken) (Simultaneously with his guards): ♪And don't come back!♪

(Wizard Waldo evilly laughs for the remainder of the song)

Waldo's General and guards: ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead! You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪ ♪You are dead! Dead! Dead! You are dead! Dead! Dead!♪♪

On the final note of the song, Background Singer's anger and sorrow has reached its breaking point and he punches Waldo so hard, everyone gasps in shock.

MAIN STORY PART 9 (THE FINAL BATTLE WITH WIZARD WALDO)

Background Singer angrily yells "WHY DID YOU KILL HER!?" and Waldo responds that he did what he had to do to. He explained his evil plan to kill at least one of Egon's killers just so he can bring back his brother. Boldly, Background Singer offers his own life in exchange for Dot's.

Background Singer: If you killed Dot, you'll have to kill me too!

Wizard Waldo: A sacrifice? Okay, Background Singer. I will grant your request... in a duel! If you win, I'll restore your precious Princess Dotty just the way she was before she died.

Background Singer: And what if you win?

(Crowd gasps)

Wizard Waldo: If I win? Well, then your suicidal request shall be granted. But I'm not gonna fight you like this. (Slams his scepter down and a cloud of smoke reveals him as Overlord Waldo)

The "Batman" opening titles by Danny Elfman (whom I imagined would be Background Singer's battle theme, with Elfman's other music of course working for my character's personality and for action sequences involving him fighting his enemies) start up as Background Singer talks over his decision with Yakko and Wakko who tell him to save their sister. Background Singer makes his choice and tears off his dress coat, revealing his abs as he confidently stands while facing Waldo, who gave one of his guards his scepter to hold on to. As he and Waldo run to each other and fight, the other characters declare war on Waldo's guards and dragorillas, alongside King Salazar and his own guards in their attempt to get Babes' lamp.

Waldo gains the upper hand and destroys Background Singer's microphone. But just when it seems that Waldo was about to stab Background Singer, Yakko throws a snowball at Waldo to weaken him.

Yakko (Mad): You want Background Singer? Try me!

Everyone else, including Mr. Plotz and Ralph yell "And me!" in agreement, and they all pelt Waldo with snowballs, making Waldo melt as he screams "I'M MELTING! I'M MELTING! OH, WHAT A WORLD! WHAT A WORLD!". Everyone cheers for Waldo's death, and King Salazar mourns for his fallen friend. Babes is freed and he, Yakko, and Wakko congratulate Background Singer, even though it is them Background Singer should be thanking.

(King Salazar could get angry at everyone by this point if you wanted him to) But before King Salazar can fight Background Singer himself for his insubordination, Waldo's scepter would vanish and the snow pile underneath Background Singer would start to rumble. Everyone backs away in horror, while Background Singer jumps away, and Waldo emerges from the snow pile as he appears in his genie form from the episode, "King Yakko". Manfred and his soldiers fire their guns at Waldo, but they all realize he can't be killed. Waldo even reveals that snow doesn't weaken him and that he's been faking his deaths the whole time to live another day. He uses his magic to levitate Dot while Yakko and Wakko pull back. Background Singer gets an idea and asks Babes to fly him up to the evil shadow genie. Manfred warns them that he's too dangerous and to fall back, but they ignore him and fly up to Waldo. Waldo saw them coming and zaps Babes, trapping him in another magic bubble and Background Singer falls until he grips onto Waldo's belt as he says "Feisty aren't we?". He talks down Background Singer and explains that Dot never loved him, but Background Singer uses all of his fury to destroy the glass bulb of Waldo's belt, making him revert back into Overlord Waldo.

MAIN STORY PART 10 (THE TRUTH COMES OUT)

Babes is free again and he rescues Yakko, Wakko, and Dot from falling. Then they watch Background Singer gently float down as he uses his own magic. Everyone is shocked by this and Background Singer picks up Waldo's scepter, with the bulb now shattered. With his own magic, Background Singer fixes the bulb. Waldo wakes up and gasps in horror. As he angrily runs up to Background Singer, Background Singer freezes Waldo's lower body in a block of ice so he can't move. Waldo gets more and more scared and he asks his men to free him. Background Singer takes off his hat and slams it to the ground, then raises Waldo's scepter into the air saying "Dreadful darkness, hear my cry! Bring back one who cannot die!". A lightning bolt comes out from the sky and touches the bulb of Waldo's scepter, coursing into Background Singer's body without electrocuting him. His hair falls off revealing his birthmark and everyone gasps in awe. Now that Waldo is free from the ice, he sees Background Singer bald and recognizes his birthmark looking just like his brother's which was a compass point east (Waldo's birthmark is a compass pointing West). Background Singer finishes reciting, "My power has risen! With my one shot, I bring back the Warner Sister… Dot!" and zaps Dot with his finger pointing at her. Unfortunately, nothing happens and all Background Singer can do is cry over the fact that Waldo killed his girlfriend, and everyone else would cry with him.

Waldo finally puts all the pieces together and asks "Egon?" as he puts his hand on his shoulder, only for Background Singer to wail on Waldo and punch him multiple times until Waldo is too weak to fight back. He picks up the dagger Waldo was gonna use to stab him with and prepares to kill his own brother to perform his own sacrifice ritual to bring Dot back to life.

Overlord Waldo (Getting scared): W-w-wait. L-l-l-listen to me now, Egon. L-l-listen to me.

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Mad, lost it): NO! YOU LISTEN! ALL MY LIFE YOU'VE BEEN TELLING ME THAT THE WORLD IS A DARK CRUEL PLACE! BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT'S REALLY DARK AND CRUEL ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

We can see a closeup of Waldo, now scared for his life, and Background Singer's hand holding the dagger as he's about to stab Waldo. But when he thrusts Waldo's dagger, Waldo closes his eyes in horror and flinches, only to see that Background Singer purposely missed (Maybe even if the dagger was slammed onto Waldo’s cape or some part of his clothing like that.)

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Mad): A life for a life. Now are you happy? After everything you've done to us?

Background Singer angrily turns away from Waldo, disowning his older brother, with Waldo scared by the fact that Background Singer was Egon all along and hadn't noticed. Waldo leaves the castle grounds crying and afraid of his younger brother, with Waldo and King Salazar's guards watching Waldo enter the woods. Background Singer would apologize to Yakko and Wakko for lying to them that he was a wizard all along. He never wanted to hurt them, he was just afraid of how they would react if they found out, but Yakko and Wakko assure him that it doesn't matter if their friend was a wizard or not. They loved him for just being him. And given how nobody else feared Background Singer when he used his powers, he had nothing to worry about. Background Singer tells his friends that all he can do now is just say goodbye. Yakko and Wakko know how much Dot meant to him, but they don't want him to go. However, they want what's best for their friend. So in response, Yakko puts down Dot just so he can hug his heartbroken friend. Wakko would give Background Singer his hat back and says "goodbye" in sadness. They watch the Background Singers leave and Babes can lift up the limo he used for transporting the other Background Singers to where his friends were captured. In the limo, Background Singer mourns over Dot and looks at a photo he wanted to give to the Warners for Christmas.

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Sad): I'm really gonna miss those guys. Especially Dot. She's cheated on me countless times but... I still love her. She was the first girl I've ever loved.

OPTIONAL MUSICAL NUMBER FOR THE MAIN STORY ("WHEN SHE LOVED ME")

I wasn't sure whether or not to include this song, but I felt it would be appropriate for Background Singer to express his grief over Dot's death. It can be something of a montage of silent clips featuring romantic moments between Dot and Background Singer. Some of which can even be from episodes of the series to really make it feel like a series finale. If you wanted, some clips can feature my character singing on-screen to really tug the heartstrings and make you cry (In a good way of course). (Click here to listen to the original version of the song. Down below is how I would envision a cover for this song.)

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Sad): ♪When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful.♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Sad) (Voice-over): ♪Every hour we spent together lives within my heart.♪ (Screen fades to a silent clip from the episode, "Jokahontas", when Dot apologizes to Background Singer, still dressed as Singer Hood, who came home to forgive Dot.) ♪And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears.♪ (Screen fades to reveal more happier clips of Dot and Background Singer together) ♪And when she was happy, so was I… when she… loved… me.♪ ♪Through the summer and the fall, we've had each other, that was all. Just she and I together, like it was meant to be.♪ ♪And when she was in danger, I was there to watch her back.♪ ♪And I knew… that… she… loved… me.♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Sad) (On-screen): ♪So, the years went by. I stayed the same, then she began to pass away. Now I'm all alone.♪

(Screen fades to Background Singer standing by the edge of the water tower as he watches the stars, worrying about how he hasn't told Dot yet. This silent clip implies that it takes place before the movie's events.)

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Sad) (Voice-over): ♪Still I waited for the day, when she'd say "I will always love… you.".♪

(Dot comes up to Background Singer and he smiles as she holds his hand)

♪Lonely and forgotten, I know we'll meet again one day.♪

(Background Singer picks up Dot and she hugs him tenderly)

♪She'll smile at me and hug me, just like she used to do.♪

(Dot comes down with a cough and Background Singer starts showing concern for Dot. She takes her into the water tower and closes the Warner Bros. shield. We fade to Dot in bed as Background Singer shows Yakko and Wakko Dot's temperature. Yakko and Wakko both look to each other concerned.)

♪Like she loves… me. When she loved… me.♪ ♪When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful. Every hour we spent together lives within my heart. When she… loved… me.♪♪

When Background Singer finishes singing, he sniffles and says "I'm gonna miss you, Dot... Forever." and a tear falls from his eye, hitting the glass on the last note of the song.

MAIN STORY PART 11 (WALDO'S REFORMATION)

The other Background Singers turn to their fallen friend and try convincing him to stay with the Warners, regardless of Dot's death. As Background Singer explains why he can't, he accidentally throws his Christmas photo out the window and gasps as we watches the only thing he had left of Dot fall from the sky. It lands in front of Waldo, and he cleans up the snow, seeing how his brother really was happy being with the Warners. He looks back as he watches Wakko run. King Salazar fires a cannonball at Wakko, causing him to fly into the wishing star. Dot wakes up alive again saying "I feel better now!" and everyone cheers. Yakko, who doesn't want Dot to know about Background Singer's secret comes up with an excuse about Dot's acting classes paying off. Waldo sees that his brother's spell worked and says "I gotta stop that limo and set things right!", with Waldo now encouraged enough to fly after his brother, regardless of being disowned. Back at the limo, the other Background Singers are still trying to cheer up their friend, with one of them saying, "But you loved her.". The limo suddenly stops and is lowered down, where we see Waldo, who gives Egon a heartfelt apology about raising him in isolation and being a cruel brother. He even tells him that his spell worked.

While Background Singer is happy that Dot's alive, he now feels conflicted on going back. Wizard Nathan would come down to tell Egon how he passed a secret test he instilled. His goal was to kill Waldo, but instead of doing what he was supposed to do, Egon spared Waldo instead, which proves that no matter how cruel Waldo is, Egon still cared for his brother. He too would encourage Egon to tell the truth to the girl he truly loves, and even Babes, despite not having a girlfriend. Waldo says "Go on." and Background Singer smiles in tears, then forgives Waldo with a hug. When they stop hugging, Waldo tells him, "Go get 'em, tiger", and watches his brother run back to ACME Falls, where he is awaited by everyone cheering for the return of the Background Singers. Dot and Egon reunite and hug, but before Background Singer can tell her his secret, Waldo hands his brother his picture. Egon gives it to Dot while thanking Waldo, and Dot admires the photo. He tells Dot the truth about being a wizard and she jumps up to his eye level and kisses his lips. Background Singer is stunned and smiles while fainting happily. Waldo and the other Background Singers would catch him, and Manfred would reward Background Singer with a military badge for serving in the army. Egon flies up and sings a reprise of "Go the Distance" as his way of completing his character arc (Click here to listen to the original version of the song. Down below is how I would envision a cover for this song.)

MAIN STORY PART 12 ("GO THE DISTANCE (REPRISE)")

Background Singer/Wizard Egon: ♪I found my way! And I went the distance!♪

♪I saved the world, fearless, proud, and strong!♪

♪I knew every mile would be worth my while!♪

♪I traveled everywhere and found... where... I... belong!♪♪

MAIN STORY PART 13 (WAKKO'S WISH AND DOT'S SURGERY)

Wakko makes his wish for two ha'pennies which turned out to be real, and everyone cheers as they head back to ACME Falls. Dr. Scratchansniff would ask Waldo and Background Singer if they're coming and would offer them a proposal to operate on Dot. Egon doesn't know what to say, but Waldo is nervous, because he doesn't know anything about being nice. Fortunately, Egon, who just forgave Waldo is willing to help him along, and Waldo is encouraged to go for it.

We see that Waldo is learning how to convert his evil magic into remedies, which Background Singer uses to help Dr. Scartchansniff and Hello Nurse with Dot's surgery. When it's over, we learn that Background Singer offered to give Dot that cutie mark on her cheek. He enters Dot's emergency room and explains that the cutie mark was his Christmas present to Dot, then gets down on one knee while taking his hat off.

Background Singer/Wizard Egon: Dot, my beautiful Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca III, will you... (Pulls a wedding ring out of his hat) marry me?

Dot: You... got me a ring? (Smiles warmly) Aw, Egon. You know I'd love to. But I've still got one more thing left to take care of.

Dot flirts with King Salazar's Captain of the Guard, and Background Singer smiles to himself while shrugging off Dot's attempt to make him jealous again, "Don't worry. She'll come back.".

MAIN STORY PART 14 (KING SALAZAR'S DEATH AND BACKGROUND SINGER AND DOT'S WEDDING)

After we see everyone else's happy endings, we see King Salazar kicked out of the castle by the Warners. The king smiles that Waldo came back, only for Waldo to betray him, with Background Singer giving King Salazar a beating. He orders King Salazar's dogs to eat him, and Background Singer gets to wear Kng Salazar's crown and clothing now, with Egon declaring himself as "King Egon".

Back home at Warner Bros. Studios, all the Warner Bros. characters and all the Background Singers see the wedding as it is held by the water tower, with Bugs Bunny marrying Egon and Dot. As Bugs says "Speak now or forever hold your peace", Waldo shows up, not to crash the wedding, but to publicly apologize to his brother and the Warner siblings. For he now sees that his brother is all grown up. And he'll no longer try to isolate him from the outside world again. He'll instead tell Egon to live his best life with the Warners. He even tells Yakko, Wakko, and Dot to keep him out of trouble, even though they always do. Dot and Egon are married and they kiss, with Egon now officially a Warner Brother, with Yakko and Wakko as his brothers in-law and Dot as his wife. And as the new King of Warner Bros., he wishes for Babes Bunny to be free, removing his golden shackles and no longer needs to live in his lamp. Babes parts ways with the Warners, the "Tiny Toons" characters, and the Background Singers and gives his lamp to his sister, Babs to remember him by. Babes would even do an impression of Willy Wonka as he tells Egon his final words from said film. They all say goodbye to Babes as they watch him fly off into the day sky like a shooting star, with a little white sparkle signifying he's gone.

MAIN STORY PART 15 (ENDING)

For Egon and Dot's honeymoon, they go back to ACME Falls with Yakko and Wakko, as the four of them sit on their thrones. If you saw the ending, you'll know what happens then. As for the end credits, in my version, the first part of music playing this the end titles for "Batman" by Danny Elfman (again, serving as Background Singer's instrumental theme music). As far as the second piece of music that can play, I first thought about if the characters should sing a cover of "I Believe I Can Fly" (Click here to listen to the original version of the song. Down below is how I would envision a cover for this song.)

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I used to think that I could not go on. And life was nothing but an awful song.♪ ♪But now I know the meaning of true love. I'm leaning on the everlasting arms.♪ ♪If I can see it, then I can do it. If I just believe it, there's nothing to it!♪ ♪I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky.♪ ♪I think about it every night and day.♪ (Background Singer/Wizard Egon's "Night and day" echoes via auto-tune) ♪Spread my wings and fly away!♪ ♪I believe I can soar. I see me running through that open do-ho-hoor!♪ ♪I believe I can fly! I believe I can fly! I believe I can fly.♪

Yakko (Voice-over): ♪See, I was on the verge of breaking down.♪

Dot (Voice-over): ♪Sometimes silence can seem so loud!♪

Wakko (Voice-over): ♪There are miracles in life I must achieve.♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪But first, I know it starts inside of me!♪

Wakko (Voice-over): ♪Oh, if I can see it, then I can be it.♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪If I just believe it!♪

Wakko and Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪There's nothing to it!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can fly.♪

Wakko and Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can touch the sky.♪

Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I think about it every night and day!♪ (Background Singer/Wizard Egon's "Night and day" echoes via auto-tune) ♪Spread my wings and fly away!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can soar. I see me running through that open do-ho-hoor!♪ ♪I believe I can fly! I believe I can fly! I believe I can fly.♪ ♪Yeah.♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon, Babes, Manfred, and all the Background Singers and army men (Voice-over): ♪'Cause I/we believed in me/you!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪Whoa. If I can see it…♪

Manfred's army and other Background Singers (Vocalizing with the score) (Voice-over): ♪Ahh…♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪Then I can do it! If I just believe it.♪

Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪There's nothing to it!♪

All (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky!♪ ♪I think about it every night and day! Spread my wings and fly away!♪ ♪I believe I can soar! I see me running through that open do-ho-hoor!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can fly!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can fly!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can fly!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪If I just spread my wings!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I… can fly!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can fly!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I believe I can fly!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪If I just spread my wings!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (Voice-over): ♪I… can fly!♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

For this part of the song, if you wanted, we could have something of a post-credits scene with Background Singer and Dot singing their final words, with Yakko and Wakko in the background. I don't know if they would have kids or not, but this can be open to your interpretation of this part.

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Background Singer/Wizard Egon (On-screen): ♪A whole new world.♪

All (but Background Singer/Egon) (Voice-over): ♪I can fly!♪

Dot (On-screen): ♪A whole new life.♪

Dot and Background Singer/Egon: ♪For♪

Yakko, Wakko, and other Background Singers (Simultaneously with Dot and Background Singer/Wizard Egon) (Voice-over): ♪Hmm!♪

Dot and Background Singer/Egon (Simultaneously with the chorus): ♪you… and… me.♪

Yakko, Wakko, and other Background Singers (Simultaneously with Dot and Background Singer/Wizard Egon) (On-screen): ♪Fly, Fly, Fly!♪♪

(If that song doesn't work out because of R. Kelly's sexual allegations, another song I can recommend is the Roy Orbison or Michael Bolton versions of "A Love So Beautiful". Or just any soft pop song released in the 1990s that serves as a love song fitting for Dot and Egon's marriage.)

After the final note, the portrait of the Warners with the Background Singers is revealed and the portrait fades to black, transitioning to the silent closing logos for Amblin Entertainment and the 1999 Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures logo.

THE END

[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 ^^;

[81scorp]

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.

When they act like their collab counterpart pt2

Well y'all liked that last one 😳. Ty for the support! I decided to write the the Tokyo Revengers cast acting like Raise A Sulien. I made this one so much more emo-looking...I'm inlove with an emo girl 😼

LAYER / Baji

Yk that plankton meme where he's like YES! YEEESSSSS! Yeah that's me and probably the person reading this section

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 😏

Yo I know I ant qualified but I'm the best mf for the job-me tryna become Bajis dog I mean what

MASKING / Draken

If you were ever playing an arcade game he would sneak up behind you helping you. Putting his hand over yours and standing over you

"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 would kiss you on the neck when your back is faced toward him

He would send a lot of pics with the gang

"Yo im with the boys" "ik u sent me a pic of Mikey's forehead saying hey bbg" "I never sent that- hold on" "what?" Turns out Mikey sent it to u....because hes bowing at ur door apologizing

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?" "😏"

He would try to teach u how to cook only to burn down the house (I'm kidding)

"OK so u wanna cut-" "instructions unclear there's an oil fire" "😶"

He can play gutair now mfs gonna sing with u on the roof as dates with you

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

"Yo stfu that's why u look like caiyuu" "STFU that's why y/n pegs u" "BROOOO" "fr i be hearing some sus ass noises when u two in the same room" "WTH U TWO"

Oddly protective maybe because he heard that u died in a few timelines. You don't understand u thought he just had mommy issues or sumn

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

The Queercoding of Pinky and the Brain

This originally was just me infodumping to my friends on discord, but I decided it might be interesting to some people on here, so I polished it up and made it an actual essay lmao

To start, we’re going to break this into 2 sections -- the relationship between the mice, and Pinky’s relationship with gender, because queercoding doesn’t just mean gay!

For a 90′s show, Pinky and the Brain (and its mother show, Animaniacs) was very progressive for its time! But there were still lots of things that they couldn’t slip by censors, and thus, that’s where we have to read between the lines. And that is something I wanted to clarify here before we dive in, the actual meaning of queercoding. It’s NOT the same as queerbaiting. Queerbaiting is when the people producing certain media purposefully dangle the possibility of queer representation to lure in audiences (most prominent examples are BBC Sherlock, Riverdale, and Supernatural I GUESS? who knows abt that last one anymore), but never follow through, purely for profit. Queercoding is when media producers WANT to write in queer representation, but can’t, usually because the censors won’t let them. So, they must resort to subtext. (example: the policemen from Gravity Falls) It could also be unintentional, simply assigning certain characteristics associated with the LGBT community to characters. (example: Bugs Bunny, many Disney villains) Either way, it heavily relies on the audience picking up subtext, but whether it’s malicious or not varies, depending on the media. Bugs Bunny is an example of positive accidental queercoding, while a lot of Disney villains are negative examples.

Now, to actually discuss the gay little mice! Pinky and the Brain, whether it be intentional or not (based off comments from Maurice LaMarche, Rob Paulsen, and Tom Ruegger, signs strongly point to intentional, but it’s never been explicitly confirmed), is an example of positive queercoding.

There are many moments that I could pick out to discuss here, but we’ll start with some VERY on the nose gay metaphors. 

Remember Romy? If you don’t, that’s their actual biological son! Romy came about due to a cloning accident, where their DNA got combined and spat him out. 

There’s SO many things I could say about Romy. Every appearance he makes has an overarching gay metaphor as the plot. His first appearance in the episode Brinky (yeah it’s literally titled their ship name), it deals with his dads (WHICH I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT, he DOES call them both dad, and they do both call him their son) disapproving of the fact that he wants to leave home and not follow in their footsteps of taking over the world. Brain even goes as far as disowning him whenever he tells him, which is certainly something a lot of queer people can unfortunately relate to. Also seen a lot in this episode is Pinky and Brain arguing even more than a married couple than usual, which pushes Romy away even further. Later, when Romy eventually does leave, and Brain starts to regret chasing him away, he tries desperately to reach out to him, but Romy doesn’t want anything to do with him. They end up tracking him down to an apartment building, where Romy is now living with his human girlfriend. When questioned about their relationship, the girlfriend, named Bunny, goes off on a tangent about how people shouldn’t judge others based on labels or relationships (hello?), and that Brain needs to be more tolerant. Brain apologizes and Romy forgives him. Happy ending.

Romy’s only other appearance is in the comics. Essentially, the plot of this one is that Brain wants to become the president of the local high school’s PTA, but he needs Romy’s help to make it look like he has a normal home life. He also enlists the help of Billie, the obligatory Woman introduced to make sure Brain doesn’t look as gay as he actually is, that he has a crush on. She pretends to be his girlfriend, and Pinky pretends to be Romy’s uncle, while they make up the story that Romy’s actual mother was lost at sea. Because if the organization found out that Brain has a son with a MAN??? THINK of the controversy! Anyway, the plan works, and Brain actually manages to get elected as president. Throughout this though, Pinky gets WEIRDLY jealous that Brain keeps brushing him aside for Billie. To the point where during Brain’s inauguration, Pinky actually dresses up as the wife/mother lost at sea and storms into the room.

[ID: Comic panels of Pinky, Brain, and Romy on stage at the inauguration ceremony. Pinky busts into room wearing drag, saying, “Yoo hoo! I’m back from years lost at sea to be with my son and ungrateful husband! Narf!” He then hugs Romy, while glaring at Brain. He goes on to say, “I’ll stand by your side, even though you left me behind!” The people in the audience begin to question this, saying, “Oh great fuzzy bangs!”, “What’d she say?!”, “He deserted her to be with that other woman!”, “What kind of monster is he?!”. Brain then rips off Pinky’s wig and says, “This isn’t my wife! This isn’t even a woman! It’s my roommate, Pinky.” Pinky replies, “Well, yes... But Romy really is my son! Poit!” And Brain responds, “N-Nonsense! He’s my son!” More people in the audience angrily speak up, saying, “What’s that?”, “He lives with a guy who likes to dress up in women’s clothing and the both claim to be that kid’s father!”, “Grumble! Mutter!” /END ID]

Needless to say, this doesn’t end well for them. What we can conclude from this is that homophobia exists in the Pinky and the Brain universe, and our characters are directly affected by it.

Moving on, And-There-Was-Only-One-Bed is a pretty common occurrence with these two. Their cage is big, they have plenty of room for two beds, but? They choose to sleep together? Even in some times where this has been inconsistent and they DO have separate beds, they’re always RIGHT next to each other. (what if we put our minecraft beds together ❤😳)

I would like to mention the episode, You’ll Never Eat Food Pellets In This Town Again! This episode is interesting to say the least. Deals with a lot of the meta of the show. Anyway. In this episode, Brain has a nightmare that he’s in a loveless marriage with Billie. You know, the woman he’s supposed to have a crush on. In the end, he wakes up from the nightmare in the same bed as Pinky.

Speaking of female love interests, Pinky is seen having multiple relationships with characters of different species. Any time this is brought up by Brain, Pinky counters with Brain being too intolerant. An honorable mention with this is in Wakko’s Wish, when Pinky is with Pharfignewton, and Brain’s constant pestering about their relationship could be read as jealousy. Pinky needs a mousy date, after all!

Something else I would like to mention is in one episode (I forget what it’s called, I’ll try to look it up later and edit this), Brain is applying for a job. The employer asks Brain if he’s married, and Brain hesitates before saying he “has a roommate,” but that he’s occupied with his own things, which then cuts to a shot of Pinky applying lipstick.

Leading into part two of this essay, Pinky’s relationship with gender! Pinky has always been very gender nonconforming, and loves to wear dresses, do his makeup, and make himself look pretty. For the most part, this is played pretty straight, and not as a gag, like a lot of shows tend to do! It’s just a casual fact about him that he likes to present femininely sometimes.

This does play into their taking over the world plans pretty often, where Pinky wears drag, usually either to sneak into somewhere. Like in one of their earliest appearances on Animaniacs, Noah’s Lark, where they pose as a couple to board Noah’s, and I quote, “love boat.” After boarding, Noah says to himself, “Who am I to judge?” Okay. Yeah. Alright. Anyway.

I actually had less to say on this than I thought I did, but I wanted to make sure to emphasize that Pinky at the very least is coded as being Not Quite Cis, and that he’s played a key part in helping a lot of people watching the show figure out that they’re also Not Quite Cis. 

Wrapping this up because I’m hungry, but I want to throw in some more honorable mentions that I really do not see any type of cishet explanations for:

They literally go on a romantic date at a very fancy restaurant in Brain’s Night Off. This is played extremely casually, and the only remark from anyone that they receive is that they are “much smaller than the usual clients.”

Pinky, on at least one occasion, daydreams about him and Brain being a married couple, and wanting to be a housewife (the original malewife ❤)

There’s an issue in the comics where Pinky has a crush on another male mouse, and when Brain gets annoyed, Pinky reassures him that he thinks Brain is cute and quite the catch too

Brain attempting to kiss Pinky in the reboot??????

Brain actually did conquer the world once in the Halloween special, because Pinky made a deal with the devil for it, and thus Pinky got sent to hell! Brain actually went to hell and gave up the world to bring him back

Brain was extremely close to conquering the world once more in the Christmas special, but after reading what Pinky’s feelings for him were (nothing romantic, just Pinky basically just praising Brain for being so hardworking and an amazing mouse, and lamenting that he never gets anything for it), he gets so emotional that he sabotages himself and wishes everyone a Merry Christmas instead

TLDR; these mice are very queer and need therapy, and are probably the most heavily queercoded characters that I can think of in children’s media.
