#Goof Warner Family

[alanshee-keeper-of-realms]

Max and Yakko allowing documentary Crews to film their family for a segment on them

Max: *kicks ball away* Come on in and yes we know the house is a wreck but this is what it's like when we come home.

Yakko: I think I'd be more scared if there weren't toys scattered when we got home,

Max:*Makes them stop as a blur zips by* That's Blair she's the reason why we have to replace the floors every year. Loves rollerskating, especially roller derby,

*The crew are stunned at how nonchalant Max is as Yakko motions to one sitting on the couch a computer in their lap*

Yakko: That's Blairs twin Lillian she has a knack for coding and computers, shes hacked into the wifi at least a dozen times, and yes they are named after 2 powerful women in the industry Lillian Disney and Mary Blair. Guess we should've known they'd be headstrong like them,

Max: And then there's Henri*motions to one glowering at the group from his chair in the corner* he has had a vendetta on life itself since he was born

Yakko: *mutters* scared the crap out of us because he didn't cry but yawned and refused to cry when he was born,

Yax, the How and Why:

Part 1: Why do people ship them?

Decided it was time I put together all my thoughts about why I think Yax works particularly well as a ship, and what they all bring to the table.

There's a lot to talk about here, and I'm going to try and hit at least all my big points. I'm also going to be looking at them from the standpoint of Goof Troop, and A Goofy movie, as well as the Og Animaniacs and reboot, Wakkos Wish, (even though that's out of universe for animaniacs) comics, and even the toys.

This is about to get really long, so I'll put it under a read more.

From a personality standpoint, they compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses so well.

Max is earnest and honest. He always has been.

From Goof troop where he wants so badly to do good things, and goes immediately to an adult when he messes up, to A Goofy Movie, where he goes so far to impress the people around him, to his want to do a good job in House of mouse. It's a constant whenever we see him on screen.

Max has seen a lot of growth through his shows and movies, but he's also been consistent. Goofy has clearly done an incredible job raising Max. Max is pretty open about his emotions. He doesn't hide them from his friends or family. There's a level of vulnerability that comes from that, and despite being bullied and picked on, he knows who he is, it only become a matter of insecurity getting other people to see that.

In A Goofy Movie, he doesn't worry about being good enough for roxanne. He says with conviction that "after today, she'll be mine". He doesn't doubt his own abilities. He's confident in what he does, and what he knows he's good at, like skateboarding.

Max is dramatic, he's flamboyant and a show off. He has made himself the center of attention on purpose before; as long as it's something he's well versed in and is confident he can impress with, he thrives. He loves to have that positive attention from big crowds. It pushes him forward.

He is also, and this is very important, a troublemaker.

He always has been, and not just in a well meaning sense.

In Goof Troop, he shows that he's the scheming type, he's the type to cause problems on purpose, just because it's fun. It's often the problem or the solution to several episodes.

Just like the Warners.

Now, these are never super harmful, he's a good kid at his core. He's kind and patient and understands his mistakes, but he's an absolute menace. He would have no trouble fitting in with patented Warner antics.

This next point is talked about a lot.

Max's issues and insecurities make for a fantastic story of growth with Yakko and his siblings. He's worried about being laughed at, at people hearing his laugh (something that is the best part of individuals and their expression of self) and worries about what other people think of it. This issue of his hits against Yakko's need to make people laugh.

They're complimentary. They're foils to each other.

Yakko is similar, but because of how he grew up, and the role he was forced into, he mirrors Max's traits as well.

Yakko is sarcastic, he undercuts a lot of sincerity with humor or hides it behind a veil of snark. He hides his feelings for fear of backlash. Unlike Max, who has his emotions on his sleeve, and has been encouraged to feel them openly from a young age.

Yakko's not able to be so open emotionally, because doing so has gotten both him and his siblings hurt.

Yakko is smart. He's tactical where Max is emotional. He schemes as well, as the spearhead and leader of the zany trio, but he sees more angles than Max does.

He does it out of self preservation in ADDITION to doing it to be a menace and for fun. He's the mastermind of the group, just like Max is to his own group. They're both the snarky personas. Yakko wants, NEEDS to make people laugh, his self worth is tied to it, it's what he was made to do. It's a source of anxiety for him, but also a source of joy. We've seen several instances of moments where Yakko falls back on his "Nations of the World" song, because he wants to make a good impression. We also have evidence of him stressing about his ability to perform in his sleep.

Being able to tell exactly how others are feeling helps Yakko pivot his plans and react in line to the antagonist. He has a hard time being sincere sometimes, prefers to keep himself protected.

But he also craves attention. Loves to be at the center of it, loves it more when it's something he's passionate in or prides himself with.

His jokes, his wit, his singing. His ability to sing and speak tongue twisters that nobody else can. All things he's confident in.

Yakko's strengths lie more in his mind, as opposed to Max's physical capabilities.

Together, they create a dynamic duo of mischief, being people with similar senses of humor, (we have seen both Yakko and Max tell almost identical jokes)they make each other laugh.

With strong senses of justice, they both aren't afraid to bring out the schemes on "special friends", or on people who deserve it; we see that a lot in Goof Troop.

Max is used to havoc. He's closely acquainted with it, he's been doing Goof Luck damage control since he was a small child, constantly being pushed to take the wheel of his dad's mishaps, sometimes very literally.

He would fit in seamlessly to the Warner's adventures, egg them on or do damage control. He's perfectly suited to fill in the space where he's needed, like a liquid changing shape to its container.

They're two sides of the same coin. They are opposites but they support each others weaknesses.

The emotional openness vs. The guarded emotions.

The need to make people laugh vs. The need to not show his laugh.

The physical vs. mental strengths.

Together, they gain inner and outer strength. They'll have someone to confide in, someone with much different upbringings and experiences than their own. Both in and out of universe.

But that's not really all there is to it, is there?

No, because family is so integral to both of their characters, we can't really talk about how good Yax is, and why it works, without talking about Goofy, Wakko, and Dot.

Yakko would never date someone, or even be friends with someone if they didn't like his siblings. Not just get along, like.

The Warners are "All for one, and one for all times 3". There is no talking about such a major change to the Warner dynamic without addressing every Warner, because they're affected too.

Dot and Wakko need someone to be friends with outside of themselves. They need familiarity and kindness.

Who better to open the Warner's to a kinder life, than a toon from a company all about the power of familial and romantic love? The themes that surround Max and Goofy(as well as many other Disney's), are exactly the kind of thing that those kids need the most.

Wakko and Dot need to have love that comes from the outside. Love from a parental figure who isn't their older brother, and love from a real friend, someone who cares about them who they aren't related to and can talk through issues they may otherwise be uncomfortable talking to their siblings about. The Warners are closer than any siblings that have or will ever exist, but there's still some things that are easier to talk about with a third party.

With Goofy, (someone who knows how to raise a kid, and what they would need to thrive) the Warners can finally, just be kids.

Yakko being happy is a the big part, but having the Warners brought into the Disney family by Goofy Goof, the man with so much understanding and love to give, who GETS kids, and has always let Max be a kid and help him through it?

It would help all three of them lean on outside help.

His appearance through Yakko and Max knowing each other, gives the Warners a positive adult figure in their lives who will be there to support them instead of criticize them for being "too much".

Yax isn't JUST about Yakko and Max, it's about the connections these kids make beyond the studio lot.

The connections that start with the eldest himself opening up. Start with Yakko overcoming that fear of rejection and letting people in.

It's about learning the world around them isn't just filled with people who want them locked up.

It's also about Max having someone who can match his energy. Max already has some friends who let him be himself and are wonderful people , but The Warners open up a different side of Max that can allow him to show that freer, mischievous side and have fun in that same way he had enjoyed in Goof Troop. He's allowed to revel in it, instead of worrying about stressing out his friends by getting them in on the antics.

The world is also filled with people who embrace their weirdness and energy, and who will guide them.

Even if you just like yax as friends, it's easy to see the potential and benefits

The Warners and the Goofs, to have lives grow richer.

And more, with them being from separate companies, their worldview would be able to grow to incorporate new ideas and thoughts.

The Warners aren't very open with their emotions, so a father son duo who have always been open and communicative would be able to show them the benefits of doing so themselves.

Plus, watching the Warner Siblings wreak havoc with a smile, hurting no innocents, would be exactly the type of thing to make Max smile in turn.

They deserve each other, deserve kindness and acceptance. ALL of these kids do. And every single one of them get that through Yax.

Plus, through Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Yakko and Max exist within the same universe. They're so close. It's not a stretch to see them interact and understand each other.

Now, there's a lot more to talk about. How it came to be, and how the shipping climate and the timing of the original shows allowed for this to line up to happen.

So look out for that in Part 2, featuring an interview with the person who started it all.

[galactic-glamour-girl-posts]

Something Something Animaniacs Headcanons

--Yakko is omnilingual, although he's better at speaking some languages than others (for example his Japanese is better than his Spanish).

--Whatever species the Warners are can breathe both underwater and in space. Any segment where they are shown in scuba gear or space helmets or anything like that is done for show, for S&P, or just because the Warners are goofing around.

--Clearly Jürgen was not feeding the Warner Clones well, but if he did I think Ditto's favourite food would be strawberries and cream (given that she's already confirmed to like strawberries), Ratto's would be leafy salads, and Saffo's would be sushi.

--Dot's favourite type of flowers are buttercups.

--The Warners consider Scratchansniff, Slappy, and Skippy the closest thing to an extended family they have (their father yes Scratchy being their dad should mean he's part of the nuclear family, but...shut up, aunt, and cousin respectively):

I was gonna save this for the tags, but nah, you CANNOT convince me they didn't choose to have these three specific characters play the Warners out for what was (for all the staff knew) their final full segment ever for a reason. This is the last shot of the original show (unless you count The Animaniacs Suite, but...come on. That's a clip show.)

The Warners went from only having each other to the size of their family doubling! I won't interpret this shot any other way 😤

[cf56]

As a fellow yaxxer, I’m curious. Do you have any headcanons on the blending of the Warner and Goof families? How Yakko warmed up to Goofy (and by extension the rest of the Disney gang, cause let’s be real those guys are Max’s family too), and how Max warmed up to Wakko and Dot?

This ask has "only" been in my inbox for around 6 months instead of a year like the others. Still, I'm sorry for taking so long to get to it.

Seeing this ask for the first time was what made me start officially considering myself a yaxxer! I certainly have some thoughts, many spurred on by my great friend and Yax master @cringetownusa.

I think Yakko and Goofy would warm up to each other very quickly. Goofy would become a father figure to Yakko. He would support Yakko's interests and accept his personality for what it is, instead of rejecting him like so many others. Yakko would rib him but respect his goofiness, his disarming genuineness, and how much of a family man he is. I can actually see Yakko being more genuine with Goofy than even Max. Goofy thinks that Yakko is a nice young man- Max can even get confused at just how calm and respectful Yakko is with his dad.

The rest of the Disney gang is certainly a different story. Yakko and his sibs have a distaste for Disney. Max and his dad get a pass, but the rest would take some getting used to for Yakko. He would probably pick on Mickey and the others until he realizes that they're not evil or sappy killjoys or anything. Even then, their relationship might not be the warmest. It would be filled with wacky hijinks. Mostly playful, but toeing the line.

Max getting along with and genuinely liking Wakko and Dot would be a prerequisite for Yakko to even consider a relationship with him. Wakko and Dot may have been suspicious of him at first, teaming up to take him on with protective toony antics. But after Max didn't turn on them and treat them badly like everyone else, they would quickly warm up to him. Like Goofy to Yakko, he would become a sort of father figure for them.

Max would love their goofiness and their mischievous personalities. Max and the Warners would be a very tight knit group, Max would almost become a fourth Warner. He'd hang around the water tower all the time, play with Wakko and Dot, engage in their interests. He'd take them out to do things like shopping for food (Wakko) and clothes (Dot). He'd be the only one besides Yakko who is willing to do things like that with them. Yakko would be happy to have a little pressure taken off, too.

So yes, I think Max would love the little sibs from the beginning. It's part of what attracted him to Yakko at all- seeing his softer side with his family. Their families would pretty seamlessly integrate. Goofy loves being a father figure and the Warners need one. Wakko and Dot would love having another playmate, someone outside their family. Max would be happy to oblige them. It'd be a super close family unit, because it would have to be for Yakko and Max's relationship to work.

SEMIFINALS: Max Goof (Disney)/Yakko Warner (Animaniacs) VS Dimentio (Super Paper Mario)/Jevil (Deltarune)

Propaganda for Max Goof/Yakko Warner:

I just like them. I think its cute. Romeo and juliet vibes because theyre from different studios, Disney vs warner brothers. They're both funny, dorky guys, and they bring out the best in each other. Plus only child vs overworked older child turned parent is a really good dynamic too.

YAX SWEEP

#YAX SWEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!

#yakko x max opened my third eye #this needs to be a thing

Cameo of Max's VA expressing approval of the ship~!

#YAX SWEEP #LETS GOOO

#yax propagandists ASSEMBLE

#yax sweep #they deserve it

Ok I keep forgetting to submit my own Yax propoganga but I have put so much thought into them.

They have the same sense of humor, we literally see them tell almost identical jokes. They’re both such dramatic showoffs and they both are schemers, they're both the brains of their group (friends v family)

They’re complimentary.

They’re foils.

Beause Yakko isn’t as open with his emotions, he’s more sarcasti. But Max has been truthful about what he feels since Goof Troop. It's there on the surface and he communicates and understands in ways that would be SO good for Yakko. They're two sides of the same coin. They are opposites but they support each others weaknesses. Yakko wants so badly to make people laugh, and it’s so important to him to do so. His self worth is connected to it, but Max doesn’t like his laugh and suppresses it. It practically writes itself. So yeah, there’s all the fun WB/Disney forbidden lovers, but it works off a dynamic that would already work really well. That's why I like them so much

Propaganda for Dimentio/Jevil:

#JEVENTIO MADE IT IN!!

They’re both insane clowns, they both have purple and yellow in their colors, they both (if you make it to Jevil’s fight) make an effort to kill the player, there’s so much in common.

Silly little guys who kill

CLOWNS

#JEVENTIO SWEEP #I love my chaotic bastards

#JEVENTIO

#GET THOSE CLOWNS TO THE TOP OF THE BRACKET #CMONNNNNN

#as the number one jeventio fan i order ya'll to vote jeventio #PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS #I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SEEING THE SHIP GET RECOGNITION THO THIS IS INSANE

#yay for the clowns!!! #I hope they win this!!

#please vote jeventio!!! #it's a lot more fun!!

#JEVENTIO SWEEP!! #two chaotic clowns is a match made in heaven!!

#JEVENTIO SWEEEEEP

#JEVENTIO?!???? #GO FOR THE CLOWNS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND #spm 🤝 deltarune (having a singular goofy jester. they’re in love btw) #manipulative evil bastard who almost destroyed the ENTIRE MULTIVERSE #x chaotic little ball whos fully convinced you’re all trapped and doomed #also they’re both non-binary. if you even care

I really feel like Jevil and Dimentio would level each other out well! Sure they’re both villains, but that doesn’t make their ship any less sweet!

#GO GO JEVENTIO! WIN WIN WIN!

#VOTE JEVENTIO!! just because something is chaotic doesn’t mean it’s any less loving!!

Give it a Try - A Wakko's Wish Yax Fic

Summary: It had been a year since the Wishing Star incident and Yakko is about to be presented as the future king of Warnerstock to all the surrounding kingdoms. It's a little anxiety inducing to say the least. At least a kind stranger is around to give a bit of a pep talk, right? Ao3 Link: [ link ] Pairings: Max Goof / Yakko Warner Words: 3010 A/N: My gift for @fablivious1 for the 2024 @animaniacssecretsanta ! Hope you all enjoy this little Wakko's Wish yax piece with some mild angst uwu [ commissions ]

It had been a year since the Wishing Star incident. A year since King Salazar had been taken down. A year since Dot had begun her road to recovery. A year since the Warner's had found out that they were the lost princes and princess of Warnerstock.

A kindly servant had gotten them out of the castle by request of their parents just before Salazar had done away with them. The servant took them into a small town and left the three young royals on the doors of an orphanage.

But now they were home, returning both the castle and Warnerstock itself to its former glory. Or, at least, they want to. There were a few things standing in their way, but one of those would be done away with today. One of them would officially be presented as the crown Prince.

Much to Wakko and Dot's annoyance, it would be Yakko.

"Why do you get to have a fancy party and a big celebration? You're not even king yet!"

Yakko smiles and rolls his eyes playfully. "No, Dot, but I will be king, and this is a way to show the people that. Or at least that's what I've been told. Honestly, I don't think the author entirely knows how royal families function, but eh, this is a made up kingdom anyway so who cares, right? It's a party! And you and Wakko will get just as much attention as I will."

Hopefully, or else he'd probably have to hear about it.

It's not like they all hadn't been introduced to the kingdom when they were found; they had been shown off to all of the townspeople and more, but now they were getting other kingdoms involved. Lots of other kingdoms, apparently.

Salazar, in his reign, had cut off trading to all other kingdoms and they were eager to set up relations with Warnerstock like they had once had. Which means that Yakko actually has to put some effort into this. 

He looks to his siblings, his smile just the slightest bit strained now, though they couldn’t tell. “Now, why don’t you two go get ready, and I’ll come get you when I’m done, okay?” He tells them. “You don’t want to be late.” 

Wakko blows a raspberry, and Dot lets out a huff, crossing her arms. 

“Fine. I guess my fur could be a little shinier. But only a little! C’mon, Wakko.” She says, leading him from the room. 

Wakko only takes a moment to look back at his older brother, before the door is shutting behind them and Yakko’s smile is dropping. 

He turns to the mirror and lets out a long breath as he looks in the reflection. 

A crowning ceremony. That’s what the presentation is. A ceremony to introduce him to all the other kingdoms who cared to show up, to tell them that Yakko would be charged with fixing up the mess left to him by his predecessor. 

He won’t lie. The past year or so has been a bit of a dream. They were off the streets, in a warm, cozy castle that they have mostly to themselves and a few other people. They were well fed, even without taxing the shirt and shoes off of their subjects, and most importantly, they were together. 

But now, as Brain has told him, this is where it’ll start getting… harder. 

He won’t be fully in charge; no the council had ruled against it after finding out that he’d only been fourteen and untrained. 

Now at fifteen he will officially be ruled the crown prince of Warnerstock, and his formal training would begin. 

And this is what he has to give them. A scrawny, lanky, teenaged ruler. Not officially until he’s eighteen, but still. He’d be acting king under advisement. He’d essentially be in charge. Making decisions. Making people’s lives worse or better. Hopefully better, but who really knows. Maybe he’ll be a worse ruler than Salazar. 

He closes his eyes for a moment, and when he reopens them, it’s still the same face staring back at him. So close to his fathers, but not quite. 

“Not much of a king, are you?” He asks the reflection, his words quiet and just slightly dejected. 

There’s a knock at his door, and he watches as his reflection jumps in front of him. “We’re here to help you get ready, your highness.” He hears a voice call out.

After another breath, preparing himself for what comes next, he turns. A fake smile graces his face as he calls back, “Why, I thought you’d never come.” 

The faux bravado he had with his dressing maids is long gone by the time Yakko gets to the ceremony. 

So far gone, in fact, that he had left. He’d taken a look at all the people standing in the ballroom, all of them there to watch him, and had bolted out the side door. He’d heard Dot and Wakko shout after him, even heard Brain and his presenter call out, but he hadn’t stopped, and he has yet to go back. 

He’s not sure how long he’s been gone, but it’s at least 15 minutes of panicked breathing and attempts to calm himself before someone comes across him. 

“Hey, um, are you okay?” 

Yakko jumps as he hears the voice, his head shooting up, his eyes wide, only to come across a boy his age, maybe a few years older. 

He’s a handsome dog, dressed nicely, in reds and golds and with a pair of adorably dorky buck teeth. But that’s not the important part. He’s clearly one of the guests for the ceremony, and he’s caught Yakko in the middle of his panic attack. 

He takes in another breath, reaching up to brush the tears away from his face. 

“I um- Y-yeah, I’m fine-” He tells him. “What um- what are you doing back here?” His tone turns just the slightest bit accusatory. He hadn’t thought anyone else would come this way. 

The boy shrugs, reaching up to rub at the back of his neck. “Probably about the same thing you’re doing.” He tells him. “There’s a lot of people out there. It can get a bit overwhelming. I just needed a minute of silence, you know?” 

Yakko turns his face away, shrugging. Clearly the dog doesn't know who he is. Which makes sense. No one should really know what the Warner’s look like yet save for their own people. And who knows how far away this boy is from.

“Um, yeah, same, pretty much.” Yakko nods, and before he can stop it, his mouth keeps going. “Like, I get it, this is important, but did there have to be so many people?” All of them expect him to do something great, or fail miraculously, he’s sure. 

“Yeah, I feel you there. And they’re all so old and boring. I thought I’d never find another kid my age.” The boy walks over, sitting next to Yakko. “My dad made me go, said it would be good to get out there and meet people from other kingdoms, but I’d be a lot happier at home practicing sword fighting or something.” He shrugs, and then leans back a bit so he could look down at Yakko better. “I’m Max, by the way.” 

Yakko looks up at Max, pausing for a moment, then looking down at the hand Max had outstretched. It takes him another moment to reach out and shake it. 

“Yakko.” 

“Yakko, that’s a funny name. No offence. Mine is Maximillian, so clearly I have no room to judge.” There’s no recognition on Max’s face as Yakko gives his name, and Yakko supposes that’s a good thing. There’s no need for this relative stranger from god knows what kingdom to know that he’d just found the future king of this kingdom crying and snivelling in a back hallway like a baby. 

He shakes the thought from his head as Max starts speaking again. 

“But also, please forget that I told you my name is Maximillian so that I can pretend to be cool for like, 10 more minutes.” 

Despite the tension in Yakko’s body, and the continued anxiety that clings to his insides, he manages to laugh at that. A hand lifts up to his mouth to hide the sound behind it, almost surprised at it himself. 

It only seems to make Max smile more. 

“Alright, you’re laughing instead of calling me a loser, I’ll take that as a win.” He comments, which only has Yakko’s laughter continuing for another moment. 

“If that’s a win for you I’d hate to see a loss.” Yakko comments, his dry humour coming out just a bit as he speaks to the other teen.

Max laughs back, matching Yakko’s dry tone. “Hah, you don’t know who you’re talking to. If you thought the name Maximilian was bad, pair it with the last name Goof. I’m kind of known for goofing things up. Not as bad as my dad, but the point stands.”

Yakko laughs a little more at the name, a little more lively than the last time. 

“That’s pretty unfortunate. Are you sure your dad actually loves you?” He hopes that doesn’t come across as too low-bar for Max, but Yakko is pretty sure he gets his humor already, and he’s right when Max lets out a laugh. 

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure he loves me. More than pretty sure, actually. He just has some pretty weird naming conventions.” Max lets out another little laugh before leaning back, his eyes moving towards the hall leading back to the party. “Pretty sure he loves me more than anything in the world, actually. Which means it sucks all the more every time I mess up.” 

Yakko’s smile slips off his face as he raises an eyebrow. “Yeah?” He asks, and Max waves him off. 

“Nah, I don’t need to get into it, it’s kind of a bummer.” He tells him, and Yakko shrugs, offering a smaller smile. 

“Try me, I’m a good listener.” 

Max raises an eyebrow at him, offering his own lopsided grin. “Are you, Yak-ko?” He asks, and when Yakko only shrugs his shoulders the other boy lets out a sigh. “Alright, you asked for it. So, you see, despite being, well, a goof, my dad is this crazy respected knight, right? He went from being a castle cleaner, to a knight, and then to the King’s right hand man because he helped save the princess and also was the King’s best friend before he married the princess, so it’s like a big deal. And now I’m training to be a knight, and it’s like, this whole thing of being able to live up to my dad and everything he’s done. And it’s just… a lot of pressure some days.” Max is leaning heavily against the wall, staring ahead as he speaks. Clearly this weighs a lot on him, and Yakko can definitely relate. 

He’d run away from all of his pressure tonight. 

“That sounds like you have a lot weighing on your shoulders.” Yakko replies, looking back over to Max who lets out another sigh. 

“Yeah, it is, but what else can I do besides try? My dad wants me to do it, I want to do it, so I figure I’ll either do it, or I won’t, but I’ll never know if I can if I don’t at least try, you know?” 

Yakko looks towards the hall he’d come from, a small lump forming in his throat at Max’s words. 

“Yeah… You’ll never know if you don’t try…” 

“Exactly. And I have people to help me, people who won’t let me fail on my own, so what am I really worried about?” He tries to make it sound like a joke, but there’s still some underlying worry.

He stands after that, and turns back to offer a hand back to Yakko, the younger boy blushing just the slightest at the offer. “We should probably get back in there, right? I know my dad is gonna start wondering where I got off to.” 

Yakko looks at the hand, then slowly reaches up to grab it, letting Max pull him to his feet. 

“Yeah, I should probably get back too.” He nods, looking in the opposite direction of the party. “I have to go this way, but I’ll see you in there?” 

Max raises another eyebrow, looking down the hallway Yakko gestures to before looking back and nodding. “Yeah, okay, see you in there.” Max offers one more smile before he makes his way back to the ballroom. 

Yakko waits until he’s rounded a corner before turning and heading back to where his family are still waiting for him. 

As he enters the room both Wakko and Dot perk up, worried smiles on his faces. 

“Yakko!” Dot calls while Wakko nervously steps forward. 

“Are y’feelin’ any better?” He asks, and Yakko smiles at them. 

“Yeah, sibs. I’m feeling better.” Then his eyes turn towards Brain. “I’m ready now.” 

The presentation goes down without a hitch. Yakko is brought out to the front of the ballroom, all eyes on him, and he manages to not pass out, or throw up, or anything. In fact, he smiles. 

And that smile only grows a little sheepish as he sees the confused look on Max’s face as the crown is placed on Yakko’s head. 

“We present to you, oh people of this region, his highness, William Warner the Second, crowned prince and future king of Warnerstock.”

The people in the ballroom clap, and before long Yakko is whisked away to be personally introduced to everyone who had come. 

It’s well over a half hour later that Max is once again in front of him. 

“Your highness, this is Sir Maximillian of the Mouse kingdom.” His presenter introduces, not realizing that they’ve already met. 

Max plays his part despite the continued confusion on his face, bowing towards Yakko much to the other’s embarrassment. 

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, your highness.” He speaks the words formally, and once he’s standing upright again, Yakko waves off his presenter. 

As soon as they’re alone, Yakko smiles. 

“Sorry about that, probably a bit of a surprise, huh?” He asks, and Max thankfully drops the formalities and smiles. 

“Yeah, no kidding. I had no clue I was speaking to the future king. A little warning next time?” There’s humour in his words as he says them and Yakko can’t help but to laugh. 

“What was I supposed to say, Yeah, I’m the future king sitting all alone in a dark hallway, tell me about your dad.” 

That has Max’s smile dropping, his hand running down his head. “Oh my dad. God, I must have sounded like such an idiot going on about all that pressure back there. You’re probably like, the king of pressure. Literally.” 

Yakko laughs a bit more at that, drawing some attention from the other attendees, but he tries not to think about it. “No, it’s fine. Really. It actually helped a lot. I was feeling pretty nervous about the whole thing. Or a lot nervous, actually. So I wanted to thank you.” 

Max looks surprised at that, but nods his head after a moment. “Oh um, yeah, totally. Glad I could help with my teenage angst.” He jokes towards the end, and Yakko laughs again. 

Yakko is about to speak, when his presenter returns, his smile strained. “Your highness, I don’t mean to rush you, but we do have a good lot more people to get through tonight. We wouldn’t want to insult anyone by not getting to them, right?” 

Yakko’s ears drop a bit at the reminder, before he looks back at Max, a small smile on his face. 

“Well, that’s my cue. I’ll see you around though, right?” He asks and Max nods, if not a bit eagerly. 

“Yeah, absolutely, I’ll be here all night.” He tells him, and Yakko’s smile widens. 

“Alright, I’ll see you around then.” 

Yakko is brought away soon after, introduced to person after person throughout the entire night. It was more or less fine, some people more stuffy than others, but over all nothing egregious happened until Wakko knocked Dot into the chocolate fountain. Then all hell had broken loose, but Yakko, at the very least, had managed to catch sight of Max laughing at his sibling’s antics. 

Later that night, after the party got back on track and then slowly came to an end, Yakko finds himself laying with his two siblings in bed. Dot, now freshly clean and given up on her vow of revenge to Wakko, lays down on one side, Wakko on the other. 

“So, you’re officially one day goin’ to be king, huh Yakko? Feel any different?” He asks as he gets comfortable, and Yakko shrugs. 

“Nah, not really. Honestly, I was hoping I’d get taller, or maybe bulk up when the crown was placed on my head. Guess not, though.” 

“Definitely not.” Dot comments, poking Yakko in the arm and causing her older brothers both to laugh. 

“Alright, alright, I get it. Besides, I won’t be king for another two years, I have time to bulk up.” Yakko tells her, pushing her arm away before wrapping his own around her shoulders and pulling her in close. 

She settles quickly enough, Wakko snuggling in on his other side. 

Dot hums for a moment, before speaking again. “What’s the first thing you’re going to do? Once you’re king, I mean.” She asks, and Yakko thinks about it for a moment. 

What is he going to do? His first decree as king… 

“Well, besides, of course making it illegal for anyone to be taller than me...” Dot rolls her eyes while Wakko only snorts, and then Yakko’s smile becomes a bit more genuine as he looks up at the ceiling. 

“I think I might try to get closer to the Mouse kingdom.” 

“The Mouse kingdom?” Dot asks with surprise, and Yakko nods. 

“Yeah, I have… a good feeling about them.”

Flufftober — Day 08: Cooking / Baking them Together.

Pairing: Max Goof / Yakko Warner.

Fandoms: Animaniacs, A Goofy Movie (Disney), Ducktales (Disney).

Word Count: 524.

Versión Español: https://archiveofourown.org/works/50488909/chapters/128255440

One of the many times Max spent the day at the water tower with Yakko and his siblings, they planned to make brownie cookies together.

This was something they both liked to do together. Whether it was baking or cooking. They were both very skilled in the kitchen, in their own way and for their own reasons.

Yakko was the type to create chaos in the kitchen and thanks to family luck, Max knew how to navigate total chaos without breaking a sweat.

It was an activity the two of them could do together and have fun in the process. So every once in a while they would get a recipe that caught their attention, get the ingredients, and take turns between the Warners' kitchen or Max's apartment.

This particular time, there were other guests besides Yakko's sibs.

“So, there are Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo and Michelangelo. They live in the sewers with their father-sensei, who is a wererat.”

"Sewers?"

“Iugh, and we complain about the water tower.”

“They make it look pretty cool!”

“As cool as a sewer can be…”

Max laughed softly, his hands sifting flour as he watched from the corner of his eye as Dewey told Wakko about TMNT with his brothers and Warner's little sister across the counter.

He had thought they would be asking things like if they could help or how long it would take to make the cookies (he knew from experience that Wakko was waiting for the slightest opportunity to steal anything to eat it or ask for the mixing spoon) and sooner or later he would have to send them away to the living room. (Max could multitask, but not when it came to talking and using hand-eye coordination), but as soon as they all sat down together, Dewey asked Wakko what his favorite ninja turtle was and when Wakko replied that he didn't know what that was, Dewey set out to explain the entire plot from the basics.

The other three children got involved in the conversation quite quickly, between occasional comments and curious questions.

This gave him room to steal kisses from Yakko between preparation steps and created a comforting background noise that he would occasionally catch bits of the conversation from and always make him laugh.

By the time the cookies were all in the oven, Dewey had somehow moved on to the Ninja Turtles, to Sonic The Hedgehog, and was currently explaining the Sonic and Shadow arc.

“That sounds like a great enemies to lovers.” he heard Dot say.

“Actually, it is a rivals to lovers.” He answered himself, smiling as he cleaned the inn and Yakko put away the leftover ingredients.

“What would we be?” Yakko asked from behind him.

Max considered it for a moment. “Friends to lovers, probably.”

“Not as interesting as enemies,” Dot said haughtily.

"I agree." Max nodded wisely. He placed the rag in the corner of the sink just as Yakko came over to kiss him on the cheek.

At that moment, Wakko's stomach growled, he looked at his belly with a frown and then at Yakko and Max. “How much longer until we eat?”

my first kintype may have been bad, but my second was WORSE. my second kintype, who has stuck with me to this day, is yakko fucking warner. and i used to make my parents sosososososo mad when i was in middle school because i'd be in a yakko shift for DAYS. every night, i'd blow a kiss and say "GOOOOODNIGHT, EVERYBODY!" i imitated rob paulsen. my family hated it. i would whistle the theme song 24/7. i said "helloooooo, nurse!" unironically. i could (and still can) recite the nations of the world song. he's also the reason i own goof troop, a goofy movie, and an extremely goofy movie. obsession w max goof ass. sigh.

how the fuck did Max/yakko got pregnant 0.o

Angelina: Parents order a baby and... after waiting the stork brings the baby to the door!! ❤️

[alanshee-keeper-of-realms]

In your Off the Table Animation AU. How do the characters celebrate New years eve and Day, if they celebrate that is 😅.

Oh they definitely do!

Mickey the Disney's and whoever wants to join in usually party at the Parks, using the Disney Magic they even can keep the rides going however Disney herself acts like the sober friend watching out she will actually teleport them to their homes or hotel if they're partying a little too hard hilariously,

Kids are allowed until 8, Mickey will not have irresponsible Parents dragging the kids around in such an environment afterwards, Disney again will act as Mom,

And yes I said others a lot of Toons prefer partying at Disney, even Warners Bugs and Mickey have a very famous photos of them goofing off with splash mountains camera, yes they joined in on the joke, Daffy followed with Donald,

Julius will fly out with his Daughter Willow to spend time with the Family for Christmas and stay until after new years before flying back to Kansas City

During Christmas Mickey and Minnies home(Storybook Manor as it's known previously Walts house) is usually filled to the brim with most of the Mainstays, the kids love crashing at their house with Mickey and Minnie's completing the entire group,

The three brothers consisting of Mickey Oswald and Julius are usually found together throughout all the celebrations, swapping stories or if the kids ask sharing with them the more appropriate memories for their ages, everyone loves hearing stories of Walt and the early days of the studio,

Also, just memories in general of Christmases and New Years past, one favorite memory with video was of the three brothers skipping down main street singing Singing in the Rain, Oswald due to being a bit tipsy towards the end ended up face planting into a lamppost causing the other two Julius and Mickey to crack up laughing,

The rest of the Toon community much like Humans have their own traditions and things they do it varies

[cringetownusa]

KH ANON HERE AGAIN!! i have continued my silly AU (it’s a bit long but )

max pretty much just coughs and sputters and asks where the siblings are trying to go. “ever heard of a, uh.. disney castle?” yakko says, and max immediately explodes. he starts to reconsider his adventuring for a moment. he tells the siblings to follow him, and he heads backwards to his town. along the way, he explains his story, and they explain theirs’; they’re looking for information about their parents, and he’s looking for an adventure. yakko comes up with an idea. they end up setting camp late at night, the other two sibs asleep before he playfully elbows max. “why don’t me and you form a partnership, maxxy? you want an adventure, and i’m definitely going on one, eh?” . max agrees, and the gang are now going to be on their own quest. yakko is a bit of a worrywort when it comes to his siblings, so he tells them to stay in town while him and max go on a little walk to map out what’s around disneytown. (think of how caring he was in wakkos wish. also this will not stop them by the way do you think dot would simply let this slide.. NO WAY) due to max’s role in the kingdom, he’s able to get them a place to stay in the castle (they cause havoc once or twice but queen minnie thinks they’re silly). when yakko finds out that the king is missing and queen minnie doesn’t know about the warners’ parents (they have somewhat of an idea that they were well known, but haven’t figured out they were royalty.) the quest continues, dot and wakko swearing up and down to stay on their best behavior and not move an inch (LIES!)

dot and wakko plan to sneakily follow their brother on that little walk until they run into a certain trio of ducks.. none other than HUEY DEWEY AND LOUIE (in KH canon theyre their classic selves but this is an AU so i say they are their dt2017 counterparts..) dewey LOVES adventure and you know who has a history with lost family adventures? exactly. the boys feel for the warners in that sense, and they don’t have much on their plate besides running the shop.. so what’s a little adventure… (oh no guys pls stop being reckless WHERES UNCLE SCROOGE)

meanwhile yakko and max are getting along GREAT. they find out they have quite a lot in common. yakko realizes outside of his sibs, he really doesn’t have any friends, but thinks this is a really good chance to get to know someone and make a friend as well (cough… or more…) and although he may think he’s super smooth and suave he hasn’t really ever actually FELT what it’s like to have a crush, so he is completely taken aback by why he’s sweating so much and fiddling with his hands around this guy he just met a day ago. max is in the same boat, and he’s more obvious about it, but yakko thinks he just is a awkward person (affectionately speaking of course). max opens up to yakko about his current situation, and how even though he loves his dad, he wants to feel like more of a max goof and less of goofy’s son. yakko opens up to max about how he loves his sibs but can’t help but feel worried about letting down his sibs (caring big brother moment </3) all at the same time, yet he doesn’t want to show them a side of him that isn’t silly and collected. max is just like .. oh man i know what that’s like, feeling like you have to be something you can’t always be, but you’ll realize that the people who love you will love you for you. and yakko hugs him. which is unexpected for BOTH of them but it is gladly returned, and then the two cough and turn away from eachother. “uh.. thanks, max. thank you.” “NO PR-*hyuck*oblem” “is that your laugh? oh maxie ol’ pal, no wonder you’re a goof. i like it. *wink* *taps him on the nose*” (cue max exploding inside moment.)

*wakko and dot inside a nearby bush with a pair of binoculars shared by both of them*

“is he crushing?”

“Oh yeah. BIG time.”

(also i love the HC that yakko’s eyes turn into hearts and his tail wags around max that is so cute. i cant.) i picture him looking around and walking into Huey dewey and louie’s store and being like.. hey you guys have sunglasses by any chance?

“uh isn’t it winter?”

“Don’t ask.”

(i have more about this AU i’ll send next time, MORE ADVENTURE !! this was more about them in the beginning stage HAHA)

Ok Hi I literally got to this months late I'm not great at staying on top of my askbox. This is SO cute I love Yakko and Max's bonding, I love the little nose boop, I love Yakko still being a worrywart for his siblings. I LOVE that Yakko catches on REAL fast that he's going to have to start hiding his eyes, he knows right away this is a big time crush, even if he's going to deny everything lol. I share the eye headcanon, although if you're familiar with me and my fics you knew that already. Do you have any of this written somewhere?

[atiredmessstuff]

Here is a brief explanation of the entries (I excluded the ones that are more self explanatory)

Tier 1

Dot's full name. Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca III

Hotline controversy. Episode 6 was pulled from Hulu for some time because during the PATB segment a tv advert starring Brain included a real sex hotline

Pink is the genius theory. Popular theory based on the fact that the theme song mentions one being the genius and the other insane but not specifying which one is which. It has more evidence, but I want to keep this brief. You can read it here

Hello Nurse name. It's Heloise Nerz

Uhhh. A sound Yakko sometimes makes as a kind of verbal tic.It was improvised by his voice actor

Yakko balloon incident. A Yakko inflatable balloon was displayed on top of the real life wb water tower to promote the show. However, when Bob Daley, who ran the studio at the time, saw the balloon, he thought that it was a misshapen Mickey Mouse and they were being attacked by Disney.

The Warner's ages. Revealed in the Talkin' Toons podcast . 14, 11 and 9 respectively

Cartoonus characterus. The Warner's species according to Tom Ruegger

Tier 2

Green ducks. Originally the show was going to star a family/group of green ducks. Eventually the team scraped the concept due to ducks being overused in cartoons

Yakky, Smakky & Wakky. A "prototype" of what eventually became the Warners. Yakky (who became Yakko) was the chatty one, Smakky the violent one and Wakky the weird one (this two were fuse together to create wakko). There was also a nameless female character that became Dot.

Brinky. The ship between Pinky and the Brain. Very popular amongst the fandom

Fandom Angst. Despite being a comedy show, the fandom tends to create lots of angsty fan works

Salad breadsticks soup. These beautiful images:

Milk fic. Angst fanfic called "Big Brother's Responsibility" that starts with Yakko drinking milk and having a mental breakdown because he had a fight with is siblings and is lactose intolerant. It became a running joke in the fandom

Please Please Please Get A Life Foundation. Episode form the og show that makes fun at animaniacs fans.

Tier 3

Marx brothers influence. Yakko is heavily inspired in Groucho and Wakko in Harpo

Lakko warner. A character that was supposed to appeared in the cancelled movie "Wandering Warners We" as the fourth warner

Yax. Crack shipp between Yakko Warner and Max Goof

Minerva Mink fake unreleased shorts. For a long time it was rumored that more Minerva Mink cartoons were produced but never released. It was later revealed that these cartoons never existed in the first place, making them false lost media

Animaniacs bible. The show's bible ( a reference document used by screenwriters for information on characters, settings, and other elements of a project)

Cancelled movies. In 1995 there were plans for a movie ( Wandering Warners We) that was scrapped because of wb prioritizing space jam. This Means Warners (set in world war II), Revolutionary Warners (an adaptation of Oliver Twist) and Warner Land (in which the siblings harras santa) were also scrapped ideas.

Cut characters. Characters that didn't make it into the show. These include Bossy Beaver and Doyle (a beaver duo), The Fleas and Nipsy and Russell (a raccoon duo)

Animaniacs live. A concert musical live show where Rob Paulsen (the voice of Yakko and Pinky), Randy Rogel (one of the animaniacs songwriters) perform songs from the show.

Reboot concept art in cuphead art style. There is concept art made by Studio MDHR (the studio behind cuphead) of the Warners in a rubber hose art style.

Nickelaney. It references how the show's intro was butchered in the nickelodeon reruns by writing their name in the beginning, shortening the song and replacing all the variable lines with "nickelaney". It was so bad that apparently lots of at the time fans refused to watch the reruns. A similar thing happened with PATB

Yakko's boat. An image of Yakko with a toy boat that somehow became a meme (I remember seeing it mostly on Instagram)

Salppy dementia episode. Episode 83. Known for being the the most serious and emotional episode of all the series. Sadly it was largely based on Tom Ruegger's memories of visiting his aunt at a nursing home.

Axe fic. A fic called Soliloquy of Regret where Yakko starts killing people with an axe. The first half consists of Yakko slowly descending into madness and the second is about the animaniacs cast trying to stop the apocalypse. Unlike the milk fic that is just angst for the sake of being angst, the axe fic its so insane that ends up being entertaining (at least for me jajs)

Yakko Alvin Warner. Yakko's second name is Alvin according to the comics

Tier 4

1-855-HULU-FAN. At one point after the release of S1 of the reboot you could call this phone number to "talk" to the Warners (it was actually a prerecorded voice message)

Pay for play/pay or play contracts debate. The closed captioning in the og series mistakenly had the line as "pay for play" contracts instead "of pay or play". This sparked an online debate in the old fandom about which line was the correct

Hello Nurse is a secret agent. It's revealed in the comics.

Broadcast Nuisance delated scenes. Some parts of the episode were cut and redubbed because the warners were being too cruel

I'm mad theatrical version. The song was originally released as a theatrical short for Thumbelina. This version included additional title cards that are partially found lost media.

Album exclusive songs. Some albums included songs that weren't in the series ( I'll Take an Island, Several Drops of Rain, the Hello Song)

Pinky is a masochist. There are some instances were pinky seems to enjoy being in pain (though this is inconsistent throughout the show)

Buddy was real. In universe, Buddy was a character whose boring cartoons lead to the creation of the Warners. Turns out he wasn't created for the show, he's a real Looney Tunes character who was the lead star of Warner Bros. cartoons from 1933 to 1935.

Kathy Page Cowan credits running gag. During season 1 and 2 of the og series Kathryn Page (Tom ruegger's assistant) was credited with all sorts of random things as a gag.

Jesus episode. Little Drummer Warners (episode 49). The Earners sing a song to baby Jesus. I added it due to its more serious tone compared to other episodes and just because, aside from the episode where they go to hell, is the only instance where the Warners interact with a religious figure.

Six flags. In the 90s the warners made appearances as costumed characters at Six Flags Theme Parks.

Cancelled robot chicken sketch. It would involve the Warners doing edgy stuff. Apparently cancellation was partly due to the original voice actors refusing to reprise their role out of respect for their characters. As an additional fact, a few years later they made a PATB parody with Maurice LaMarche reprising his role as Brain. In an interview he admitted he regrets doing it..

Sakko Warner. Is the cousin of the Warners who appears in the 33rd issue of the comics.

Tier 5

Episode #55 missing bumper. This episode has a chase scene bumper that's missing from the DVDs

Official twitter retweeted lewd fanart. Yeah according to tv tropes this apparently happened and I say apparently because I couldn't find any other source. So take it with a pinch of salt

He died for our sins. This cursed image from Burning Man 2008

Speedy Gonzales auditioned for Brain. Cartoon Network Latin America released a series of shorts called "biografía toon" that feature the biographies of various cartoon characters. In the one about Speedy Gonzales it's revealed that he tried to audition for the role of Brain.

The warners teast like chicken.

The reason why wakko doesn't wear pants. Issue #42 of the comics is revealed that Wakko doesn't wear pants because it causes those around him to get hurt by random things.

Narf is my safe word tshirt. Rob Paulsen was selling these tshirts trough his website.

Animanicast (unofficial podcast)

Bubble bath guy. A Tumblr user infamous for commenting weird stuff in animaniacs related blogs. Most of their ramblings included the words "bubble bath" hence their name. Nobody knows what was their deal.

Tier 6

Episode 100. Joke entry. There is no episode 100

A Christmas Plotz: The Hip-Hop Musical. It's a 1995 hip-hop audiobook adaptation of "A Christmas Plotz." It's pretty terrible.

alt.tv.animaniacs. A now defunct og animaniacs newsgroup that served as the main online gathering place for the old fandom.

Legion1979 (so sorry I messed up their name in the image). A Tumblr blog that analysed every episode of the og animaniacs, giving their opinion ands some interesting facts.

Animania IV. Fourth of the fourteen Animania fanfests held by the og fandom. It took place in early August 1995 when a group of participants in the alt.tv.animaniacs newsgroup decided to meet each other in Southern California. Hearing this, the producers at Warner Bros. Animation invited them to visit the studio and meet the people who were working on the show. If you want to learn more about it check this website and this video

Keeper1st. A well know fan in the days of the old fandom. He was an active member of alt.tv.animaniacs and wrote many webpages about the show back when it was airing including the transcript of the animancs bible, the cultural references guide for animaniacs and the animaniacs mega lyrics files. Here is his website

Bonus tier (actually things I forgot to add at the moment)

The Geological clock A song from the og series that was cut. It's speculated that it heavily inspired A Brief History of History

Nonbinary Wakko. Popular headcanon based of this panel form the comics

Leg fic. Fic where Pinky losses his leg in a sausage factory during one of Brain attempts at taking over the world but it grows back

Suavo pinky was at one point banned from the sexypedia due to his fans spamming suggestion blogs. The moderators decided to add him to the forbidden characters list just to piss them off. Luckily, the ban has been lifted

So I made an animaniacs iceberg

sad 3am rambles. You can skip it

Yeah, I know the iceberg thing is outdated but I made it as a way to look back at the show and the fandom one last time.

I took a break from animaniacs in the wait for season 3. When I came back I realized how much I had forgotten about the show and it kinda scared me. I decided to write these facts and fandom anecdotes just to have a reminder in case some day I forget.

This is it. I don't have hopes for a season 4 or any other animaniacs media. I'll probably stay here for another week. I don't want to get into personal stuff, so I'll just say that animaniacs was the best thing that happened to me in 2020. I'm going through some rough stuff so I'm glad I got the chance to watch these characters one last time. Even though my interest in the show isn't the same as it used to be, I still hold it very close to my heart ❤️
