Alfonso Salazar

Finally! After eons! I have the honor of showing all of you my OC! I'm also thankful of showing all of you how he looks with color! I'm also thankful to @rolkstone for helping me in some details! Here you also have a drawing of Alfonso I drew in paper! I hope you love this!

Some headcannons I didn't mentioned sbout Alfonso are:

Yes, Alfonso didn't found odd that despite being a hobo, somebofy like Chester was capable of of getting a Rocket Car.

Alfonso without wanting ended humilliating Coach Krupt, to make things worse, he's unable to pronunce his name properly, do he keeps midnaming him, you know, when you're nice and do wrong via stupidity. Yes, Alfonso still has no idea why it affected him so much.

The only person Alfonso has ever came to hate is Bildorf, the worse part he DID tried to be his friend.

Alfonso works in Itchy & Scratchy Studios, he got work there, because Chester felt bad that Alfonso failed to get jobs and decided to "convince" Roger into hiring him. Alfonso is still unaware of all of this.

Alfonso has always wanted to be a voice actor, he has the uncanny ability to mimic any voice he hears with precission, normally he keeps that power for himself, because he doesn't consider "good enough".

Alfonso circle of friends:

So Fat Tony and Frankie aren't different in your AU?

Here's my attempt at a final answer for all asks about whether characters are 'different' or not.

See below cut for answer:3

Interactions are as per usual hugely appreciated <3 I understand my lore posts aren't as interesting as my art ones but eheheheheh :')

The Good Ones, as an AU, splits off from the canon of The Simpsons after a certain point - if you want the exact event, it's when Lucy-Mae, while working a a waitress at Luigi's, walks into a meeting between some of the highest-ranked members of the (at the time) DiMaggio crime family, or Springfield Mafia, triggering some of the key pre-Memphis events in the AU. I haven't pinpointed the exact moment in the timeline when this happens, but I'd say a year or so after Penny-Wiseguys takes place (so basically post season 24-ish).

All the characters in my AU that are taken from canon retain almost all pre season 24 canon information given about them, aside from the following instances:

Character appearance is changed due to assumptions made about information not given otherwise. For example, Louie has a darker skin tone than in the show because he is half Dominican (technically, in canon, he's already half idiot, half moron).

Very minor canon characters are replaced with original characters. In this specific case, researching and pinpointing all very minor members of the Springfield Mafia felt overly pedantic, and I opted for the route of swapping out most canon mobsters that don't really have names or speaking roles for my own original characters, as to not be too burdened by the restrictions of canon.

Rejection of some 'Pauper' events. Just out of personal taste, some events from the show, even if they should be, aren't included in my extension on canon. The most notable example of this the death of Fat Tony, and his subsequent replacement with Fit-Fat Tony in Donnie Fatso.

Now, because these characters aren't really all that focused on in the Simpsons, the fact is that they don't have a significant amount of canon information: there are a lot of gaps that I get to fill in. I don't think any of the canon characters in my AU are really all that different from in the show (aside from, obviously, characters who undergo significant changes like Legs and Louie after the split from canon, but even they're very much just iterations of their canon selves prior to the car bomb incident).

[disclosuro-1999]

I remember when in "Penny-Wiseguys", Snake was defeated by an stray shot when Homer and Dan Gillick were fighting over a gun, somehow the bullet made it's way to the Kwik-E-Mart.

he looked so cute and elegant in that outfit... hmmmm ❤️👌

[thatwritererinoriordan]

"Penny-Wiseguys" is a good episode.

[ladyofdecember]

Lenny: So you're saying you'd rather do the prettiest dude in the world than the ugliest broad?

Carl: Absolutely! But how did we get here from discussing Aristotle's Poetics?!

[rinnysega]

What is you’re favorite episode with the mafia?

Bart the Murderer probably! 

[marinerainbow]

I made headcanons for Roger and Jessica, and I plan on posting for other characters (especially Delores), so have some headcannons for

~The Toon Patrol~

~Smartass~

Unlike the others, Smartass actually studied the law. He had planned to become a lawyer, but when his criminal record caught up to him, he lost his license and officially started his gang.

One of his crimes was identity fraud. It's why he has so many names like Smarty, Smartguy, Wiseguy, etc (I know in actuality it was Disney trying to censor his name, but still).

He also used to be married but is now divorced. His spouse left him when they found out about his double life. Smartass will still offer relationship advice to those he's closest to but other than that he keeps that part of his life private. The only one in the group that knows his former relationship best is Stupid.

He loves the finer things in life. Just look at all that jewelry! He takes a lot of pride in his appearance and takes care of himself the most out of the other weasels (though why he still chooses not to wear pants or proper shoes, I have no idea). You'll get a smile out of him and a cheeky "I know~" if you compliment his appearance, but he won't really take it to heart unless you two are close.

In my last OC post, I stated I headcanon all toons have an artistic ability of some kind. Smartass' is writing. Slice of life stuff. If he wasn't a gangster, he'd probably make a pretty penny off of his writing.

~Greasy~

Similar to Smartass, Greasy also likes the finer things in life. But he doesn't put as much effort into his appearance (minimal/no jewelry, cheap cologne, just generally greasy, etc). It's like he's trying to put up the front of a well off man rather than actually be one.

He can appreciate art of all kinds, especially if it's centered around feminine beauty or intimacy. Writing, paintings, sculptures, whatever. Of course he's got the sleazy magazines as well. (@slashingdisneypasta actually inspired me for this headcanon with her own for Greasy).

He's Smartass' right hand man for a reason, and not just because they're friends. If he needs to, he'll focus solely on the job, he'll get things done, and he knows how to intimidate people. Not to mention his ability to come up with plans on the fly, like when he dropped the bricks on Roger. Tldr, he's more than just the silly pervert of the group.

He absolutely tries to get advice for women from Smartass since he had a relationship before. It doesn't work.

His artistic ability is playing the guitar, and I think he'd have a fairly decent singing voice. If he didn't snoop on women backstage, I can imagine him getting gigs at clubs like Jessica.

~Wheezy~

He's the gun expert of the group. He taught Stupid and Psycho how to properly use firearms and take care of them. Smartass and Greasy had more knowledge then those two, but they still learned a thing or two from Wheezy.

Despite his lean frame, he's the second physically strongest member, next to Stupid.

I don't know why, but I can see him liking nature documentaries. Maybe he finds them relaxing. Just imagine him puffing away at his cigarettes while listening to Liam Neeson narrate about the life of seahorses or something while on his downtime.

The reason why his whole appearance/demeanor is completely different compared to the others is that he was made for war propaganda cartoons. He has fabricated memories of being in the war, even though he was just made for cartoons. He mostly keeps them to himself, but sometimes he needs to talk to someone about them and get it all off his chest.

His artistic ability is playing the violin. I know that the violin/guitar case he carries in the movies was used as a way to hide the gun, but I still like the idea of him playing the violin. I can also see him get into wood carving.

~Psycho~

Psycho doesn't sleep often, but when he does his eyes remain open and he curls up. It looks just as freaky as it sounds. Only when he is completely relaxed is when he'll actually close his eyes while sleeping and let himself sprawl out.

You can tell he's excited at the prospect of killing Roger ("Time to kill the rabbit!~"), but he never makes a move towards Roger until it was time. As such, I think that Psycho can very easily be patient, as long as he knows he'll get what he wants in the end. One could argue that it was simply because the TP didn't get enough screentime, but I like this idea better.

Psycho needs something to do with his hands. It's part of the reason why he has his razor in his hands half the time and hugging himself the rest of the time. Honestly just give him a rubrics cube or something and he'll be happy and distracted for a while. He's also learned how to do plenty of tricks with his razor. It's impressive but scary too.

Psycho has plenty of animalistic habits. It's not like he's got the brain of a wild animal, he just communicates a bit differently. For example, he takes smiling with teeth as a threat and will threaten people that way, he can imitate plenty of sounds perfectly, etc.

Mirrors make him uncomfortable. In the bathroom, he'll hang a towel on the mirror while he does his morning routine, and he'll avoid the mirror section in home decor stores at all costs.

His artistic talent is drawing/painting. Sometimes he just draws whatever comes to mind, but he'll also draw specific people and places he wants to commit to memory. Anyone who receives a portrait of themselves from Psycho has pretty much gained the ultimate sign that they are important to him. I can also see him be able to play the accordian.

I'm not entirely sure about this one, but I still like it so I guess I'll let you guys decide what you think. The yellow swirls in his eyes will change color based on his emotions. Yellow is happy/neutral, red is anger, green is sick/disgust, and blue would be sadness (and pink for love)

~Stupid~

I did some research after seeing it on another blog, and it turns out propeller hats were seen as science fiction novelty items back then. So I think Stupid likes sci-fi stuff. He'd definitely be a fan of Star Trek.

Another thing he likes is sports. His bat isn't just his weapon, he genuinely likes baseball. He mostly just collects cards, but if he was ever gifted a ticket to a live baseball game, he would love that person forever.

And of course, cooking. He can't cook very well on his own, but he absolutely loves sharing recipes and talking about his favorite food. If he got a cooking buddy, the TP's kitchen will be used nearly 24/7.

Stupid is dyslexic. He legitimately can't read, or at least not very well. He likes it when other people read to him. Psycho is the one who reads to him the most, but Smartass will do it as well when he has time.

Out of all the Toon Patrol, he's pretty good with emotional support. He may not be the best with life advice, but he'll just be there to be an open ear and offer hugs (his hugs are the best, trust me). And sometimes, that's all you need.

His artistic talent is playing the trombone. He's also learning how to use the kazoo.

~The whole group~

In the movie, it's implied that Smartass has a bigger gang than just the four other weasels ("We got informants all over the city."). So my headcannon is that Smartass is the head of the weasel gang in Toontown, and the rest of the Toon Patrol are his best men that he chose to join in on Judge Dooms plot. There are other gang's in Toontown, like the wolf gang or the coyote gang (Wile. E was a former member before he got hired by Warner Bros), but the weasel gang is most notorious, especially after Judge Doom made them a police force.

I've seen at least two people headcanon that Smartass and Psycho are brothers, and that's cool to see! But personally, I headcanon that it's Stupid and Smartass that are related. Or at the very least were drawn to be a duo in their cartoons. They both have the same- if not similar- fur colors, and I don't think Smartass ever really physically hit Stupid. He threw the plunger at him to shut his mouth, but he didn't wack him on the head like he did Greasy and Psycho.

I actually don't think Psycho and Smartass get along. Psycho was pointing and laughing at his boss while he was dipped, so at the very least Psycho doesn't care too much about Smartass. One could easily argue that he was too caught up in his laughter to stop, but that doesn't explain why he put in the effort to point at his boss, making it clear he found his death amusing. Greasy was also laughing yes, but he didn't have the view Psycho did so maybe he thought his boss flew over the dip.

Smartass and Greasy have been friends the longest. Psycho and Stupid are best friends. Wheezy is easygoing, so everyone gets along with him.

Greasy and Psycho both go out on their own sometimes to do their own thing. Smartass knows what they're up to, and he knows they'll be back eventually, so his only rule is that they clean up after themselves and tell him where they are going so he knows where to look for them if they are gone for too long. Stupid and Wheezy are allowed to go on their own too, but they mostly just stay home (though Wheezy does go out on his own more than Stupid).

Smartass and Stupid are comedy toons, Greasy is a risqué toon, Wheezy is a generic toon, and Psycho is a horror toon. They all were villains in their respective cartoons.

They are toons, so technically they are ageless. Or at least don't age like humans. But if I were to give them ages, Wheezy would be 47 (born/made right at the turn of the century), Greasy 38, Smartass 35, Psycho 28, and Stupid 25. And from tallest to shortest is Stupid, Wheezy, Greasy, Psycho, and Smartass.

I hope you guys like these. Any questions you guts have, I'll be more than happy to answer ^^

It rains money, how do they react? Mostly the mafia boys and whoever else?

my mafia people! :D

it's been so long.

Wiseguy: "Huh… would you look at that" he says, mostly to himself, staring up at the sky from where he was standing. Coins raining down and bills falling slowly. There were so many people out and about getting it… he shuts the door. He can't handle the loud amount of sound that the coins would cause, and honestly, he doesn't even really need the money.

Bones: It was like they knew that it was coming because they set something up in the backyard that would catch the coins and dollar bills. By the end of the storm, they have over 300 dollars! They're not sharing -w-

Clip: "Okay! What the shit?" he asks, holding out his arms in front of him. He just left to go to the store and now it's raining, but there was money instead of water? He reaches out, catching one of the bills, a pretty high number… he looks around and shakes his head, starting to walk home quickly while holding his umbrella above his head but upside down to catch the money. He'll keep it for stuff later or give it to G or his brother. Screw it. This was… weird.

Boss: He is so happy. He goes out and literally will pick up any bills that he sees that are higher than 20 dollars. He then takes that money to an animal shelter to donate it.

Books: He wants to study it! Why is it raining money? Is it falling from a plane? That's the only way he could explain it without it being strange. He doesn't even think about collecting it.

Crank: "Ha" he says, staring out with a relaxed smile on his face. That's damn near crazy right there… he puts a bucket outside to catch the money and then checks on it later and he was confused on where the bucket of money came from. High brain is dumb brain.

G: G's best damn life right there! Best day ever. He's outside collecting the money from off the floor and has his brother out there to help him collect as much as he can as well. He brings in all the money that he collected and puts it in his normal hiding spot after counting it out. He's purring so dang loud right now and is gonna be in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Juice: He's normally having to help his brother collect as much money as he could. He was really excited cause he knew that that means that his brother is gonna be in a VERY good mood.

Field: He stares out at the field that was getting covered with the money and coins, a little unsure how to feel about all of this. He looks over his shoulder, "Hey, Crop, remember when ya said money don't grow on trees? It's startin' to fall from the sky" Crop makes a sound of disapproval making him laugh and he goes outside to start to collect it off the floor. Can't just ignore it, that could damage the plants and money was nice.

Crop: Crop was in town when it happened, and he got hit in the head by a coin that came flying down at him. He looked around, quickly, thinking someone attacked him but then other stuff started to fall. He pushed himself under a covering and watched. He held out a bag to get filled up and he made quite a pretty penny!

Diva: He's shocked and confused? What the hell? How is this happening? After questioning it for a few seconds, he shakes his head and grabs his umbrella and goes outside to collect some. Hey, why wouldn't he?

Charm: He'll watch for a little while, then ask a few friends to help him collect as much money as he could! Nobody can really say no to him, so he gets the most money out of everyone, most likely.

what do you think of Dan Gillick from s24e5 Penny-Wiseguys?

I like Dan Gillick!!! Gillick's neat, I enjoy Gillick. He's neato.

Episodes with the Springfield Mafia

I go back and forth on who my favorite character is, but right now the Springfield Mafia as a whole is my #1, and I know there’s episodes including them that I haven’t seen or haven’t seen in many years.

I know they appear in these:

Bart The Murderer

Homie The Clown

A Fish Called Selma (brief cameo)

The Twisted World Of Marge Simpson

The one where alcohol gets banned in Springfield

The episode where Lisa’s room gets turned into a cell tower (brief but hilarious cameo)

Grift Of The Magi

Insane Clown Poppy

Trilogy Of Error

Poppa’s Got A Brand New Badge

Moe Baby Blues

One of the Treehouse Of Terrors, 14 maybe? The one where Homer becomes Death

‘Scuse Me While I Miss The Sky

Donnie Fatso (I refuse to accept this episode as canon)

Penny Wiseguys

The one where Tony married Selma

Go Big Or Go Homer

The Fat Blue Line

Diary Queen (cameo)

A Serious Flanders part 1

What others are there? Seasons 11-19, or the post classic but pre HD era, are honestly my least favorite seasons (too much stupid and ‘LOLOL random’ humor for me) but there are still some gems hidden in there like Trilogy Of Error. I’m probably missing out on some mafia episodes.

I’ve got to watch them all, I want more content of my boys.

[springfieldblues]

I still wish that Dan Gillick ("Penny-Wiseguys"), Wayne Slater ("The Falcon And The D'ohman"), Jack Lassen ("Blazed And Confused") came back... at least in the background in the newer episodes...

sounds like theyd be pretty expensive to bring back. but its possible they might make a background cameo one day, they do reuse a lot of one-offs for that sort of thing
