fuckimg beware the tags on this bitch I went OFF and it's kinda dark in there with the lights turned off iykwim

OK so I've been thinking.

(Nearly) everyone in the Captain Underpants fandom talks about Krupp finding out about that he turns into Captain Underpants and that he'd get pretty mad about it.

But does anyone talk about the opposite:

Captain Underpants finding out about him being horrible to kids and George and Harold as Krupp?

Like it'd be an interesting concept to play around with.

C.U would probably feel terrible for mistreating kids (let alone George and Harold) and would probably try to avoid water so that he doesn't turn back and mistreat them during school.

I'm pretty sure that Krupp would be steaming mad about finding out that he literally strips down to his underwear in order to be a superhero. (Not to mention taking his toupee off)

Idk, just the concept of the two finding out about each other is entertaining to me.
