The Evolution of Violence and the Macabre in Animaniacs
Nah this isn't gonna be some essay or something, I just think it's kinda funny how Animaniacs goes from having to put a smiley face on a bat to get away with Wakko hitting someone with it, and having to change the name of a segment from "Death or Consequences" to "Meatballs or Consequences" in season 1...
...to season 5, where Wakko can be shown burying a corpse, and Wakko's Wish, where the Warners kick Salazar out a closed window at a large height, shattered glass and everything (after which the movie implies he gets mauled to death by dogs)...
...to the reboot where they just straight up have a character be covered in blood onscreen, and there's a series of segments literally called "Murder Pals".

as the holiday season rolls around i think about my (unfortunately abandoned, deleted. i miss it.) animaniacs/newsies au, in which it roughly follows the wakko's wish plot.
in terms of characters, i recall definitively: sarah, davey, and les as yakko, wakko and dot respectively. pulitzer and katherine were the dr scratchansniff and hello nurse duo. wiesel and the delancey bros were representative of plotz and ralph. and snyder was king salazar.
on a stretch, i want to say: hannah was pip (but much less boring). jack and crutchie were similar to pinky and the brain (but not bent on world domination. can't remember the specific character changes i made for them).
spoilers for wakko's wish!
truly don't remember the exact plans i had for the storyline besides the immediate similarities to the movie: les gets sick forcing davey to go out and work, but wiesel and delanceys steal his money. davey wishes on the wishing star and everyone races to reach it first. snyder tries to get the jacobs siblings killed. davey gets his wish and the whole town is restored to its former glory with the jacobs back on the throne. the end.
really sad i don't have the doc anymore because i wrote a super emotional 'davey returns home after a year' scene, followed immediately by him getting pissed and sassy with the delanceys. and i was super proud of the royalty-bedtime story! i researched polish folktales for inspo and i was really happy with how it turned out.
#guys i would've titled this 'the wishing star belongs to we' and im still in love with that title to this day#also who cares but i swear im working on my nascar au college is just a needy bitch#newsies

The Prince of Egypt (1998)
When Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney in 1994 to form DreamWorks with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, it was essentially seen as a declaration of war against his former compatriots in the company. The first volleys in that war, however, would not come until 4 years later in 1998 with Antz and The Prince of Egypt. Both were bold statements, the former a CGI comedy directly designed to compete with Disney's new comrades at Pixar, the latter a big-budget traditionally animated musical taking aim at the prestige and box office returns of the Disney Renaissance that Katzenberg had helped shepherd at Feature Animation. Both made a strong impression at the time, and while Antz is somewhat forgotten today (especially thanks to the increasing controversy of Woody Allen as a filmmaker/performer and public figure), The Prince of Egypt has held on as a genuine classic. Does it deserve to be? Absolutely.
The plot is certainly familiar in its outlines to anyone who ever attended Sunday school. Hebrew slave Yocheved (the late singer Ofra Haza, absolutely haunting in only a few sung lines) places her baby Moses (Val Kilmer) in a basket and sets him down the River Nile in Egypt to rescue him from a purge commanded by Pharaoh Seti (Patrick Stewart). Moses eventually drifts towards the palace and is adopted by the Queen (Helen Mirren) and raised in the palace alongside his brother Ramses (Ralph Fiennes). They grow up as troublemakers, much to the consternation of Seti and the high priests Hotep and Huy (Steve Martin and Martin Short). When Moses helps free a captured Midian woman, Tzipporah (Michelle Pfeiffer), he learns a shocking revelation from the slaves Miriam and Aaron (Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum): he is their brother. Disturbed by this and the full reality of the purge, he accidentally kills a slave-driver in a struggle, then leaves Egypt. After reuniting with Tzipporah in Midian, he begins to make a new life for himself. One day, when trying to retrieve a sheep, he comes across the fabled burning bush and speaks to God, learning that his task is to free His people from the Egyptians. But it will not be easy, God warns, and you DEFINITELY know the holy ass-kicking coming up next if you've read your Scripture.
First things first: this is in the top 5 of the most beautiful animated features ever made, regardless of country or studio. This is as grand, no, grander than many live-action films in the scope of its vast settings-deserts, palaces, chariot races, plagues of frogs and fire, the Red Sea-yet the tiniest gesture from its characters can have just as much impact. Spielberg brought much of the staff and talent from his short-lived Amblimation studio in London to work on this, and the talent is well in evidence. Animators like Rodolphe Guenoden, William Salazar, and Kristof Serrand give stellar, realistic renderings that avoid much of the scenery-chewing instincts of Western animation. (Katzenberg did some poaching of his own, bringing in James Baxter to do some truly stellar scenes of Moses' acting that anticipate his great realism on films like Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron) The CGI is used brilliantly too, even if, like Hunchback, the crowds look a little obvious nowadays if you look too closely. I also want to shout out the direction by Brenda Chapman (another Disney vet), Simon Wells, and Steve Hickner. They guide the story brilliantly in terms of shot choices, such as in a famous scene where Moses goes on his journey across the desert and becomes smaller and smaller in the frame.
Like Hunchback, this is a story that demands a certain seriousness, and it avoids the pitfalls of that film by eschewing goofy sidekicks for more natural character-based comedy amidst all the sturm and drang. Even Hotep and Huy, while they get some funny moments, undergo a darker, hypocritical turn when their power is threatened. While there are changes made to the Biblical story (addressed upfront in my favorite "please don't kill us" disclaimer of all time), they all pretty much work for the story this tries to tell. Moses is reframed as a man desperately in need of a purpose, and God certainly gives him one, but also someone who truly loves his adopted brother and wishes things didn't have to be this way. Ramses, too, is seen with remarkable complexity as a figure who adores Moses, but is simultaneously all too aware of and completely blind to the privileges he holds, which costs him everything. The supporting cast gets some nice moments too; I especially like Tzipporah's subtle shift as she grows to love Moses, even if she never loses her spirit.
(A quick word on the voice cast before we get into the aural end. You would probably not cast the film the way they did today, with predominantly white or non-Jewish actors as Hebrews and Egyptians, and I think that's certainly worth considering even if visually, the characters obviously look much closer than previous Biblical films using very white casts. The main observation I will put forth is that the film WAS shepherded by two of the most powerful Jewish men in Hollywood, Spielberg and Katzenberg. And given that the story was important enough for them to consult an army of religious experts from various cultures to get things like clothing and traditions correct, they presumably could have gotten any cast they wanted. They ultimately landed on this one, and I think that was their right. I do not object to anyone who feels differently, especially as a non-Jewish white guy myself.)
In terms of the soundtrack, Stephen Schwartz possibly outdoes his collaborations on Hunchback with the songs here, aided by an equally great score and arrangements by Hans Zimmer. "Deliver Us" is a powerful opening number that visualizes the plight of the slaves with heartbreaking cruelty. And as said, Haza's vocals cast a spell that will hang over the entire film. "All I Ever Wanted" is the shortest, probably weakest song in the film, but I like how it plays almost as an inversion of the typical "I Want" song in terms of Moses trying to convince himself that this is what he actually wants. "Through Heaven's Eyes" boasts a robust performance from Broadway vet Brian Stokes Mitchell as Tzipporah's father Jethro that is genuinely uplifting in the new spirituality offered to Moses. (Mitchell is so good, in fact, that I wondered why they even brought in Danny Glover for the character's few spoken lines, even if those are well-delivered). "Playing With The Big Boys" is easily the most sinister I've ever heard Steve Martin and MARTIN SHORT, of all people, sound, though I suppose it helps when you back them up with badass chanting. "The Plagues" too is ominous and rumbling, with a heartbreaking counterpoint duet between Moses and Ramses right in the middle. And "When You Believe" genuinely soars as the newly freed slaves embrace life.
The voice cast is star-heavy, as mentioned, but all are well-chosen rather than distracting, and it certainly doesn't sound like anyone's phoning it in to my ears. In particular, I think this is one of the best performances of Val Kilmer's career, equal to his Doc Holliday in Tombstone, as he goes to the mat emotionally in scene after scene. (He also plays God, doing a wonderful job of making him seem mysterious, unknowable, and sympathetic all at once). Fiennes is his match, tragic and vile in equal measure, though perhaps his cruelest delivery is his most offhanded, a casual "Slaves" when Moses observes their father murdered children. (This echoes Stewart, who goes from sternly warm patriarchy to a truly chilling moment where he tries to comfort Moses by saying "They were only slaves", much to his adopted son's horror). Bullock doesn't get a ton of screentime, but she paints an effective portrait of a woman trying to hold onto hope and faith because that's all she has left. Goldblum gets some proper Goldblum-y comic relief moments as Aaron, but also a crucial cynical beat where he questions why Moses cares so much about them now. And as said, I really like how Pfeiffer gives Tzipporah a lived-in toughness rather than seeming fake (she also gets a priceless reaction when she helps save Moses from a well).
I come to this film from a number of different angles: as an animation fan first, and as someone for whom it was a fixture in a mixed secular-Christian household growing up. I grew away from God as time went on, but stories like this can still take hold in my imagination because of the pictures they paint. There is a genuine sense of wonder here, beautiful and terrible by turns, and I feel it every time I watch. The faith that a true miracle is occurring.

As a little sneak peek of what I'm planning to upload next month, I thought I would mention that King Salazar from the series finale, "Wakko's Wish" would in fact be one of the villains Waldo would team up with. I haven't seen the full movie (I only saw its ending back in 2011, as I was curious about how my characters would respond to Dot's death, but I'll discuss that later.)
My thought was if Waldo could introduce himself to the king and tell him about his history with Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. How he spent years chasing after them and failing to capture the Warners. He'll even bring up how years ago, they "killed" his brother, Wizard Egon with their water tower. And ever since, Waldo went into the outside world to find his brother's killers and kill them back so he can revive Egon with a sacrifice ritual, then later cook their dead bodies to make a either stew or some type of dinner involving meat. Maybe even skin their hides and make clothes out of their fur. King Salazar would hire the wizard and his army, much to the horror of Mr. Plotz and Ralph the Guard, who actually hate Waldo for all those times he tried to raid the Warner Bros. Studio.
Regarding the wishing star, Waldo could even bring up Babes Bunny, whom Waldo also tried and failed to capture for years, as with Babes' magic lamp, King Salazar can get three additional wishes. This would mean that if either one got the wishing star, they'd get four wishes in total, two for King Salazar and two for Waldo, with Waldo's only wish being to revive his brother and bring him back home so that he can apologize to Egon and make sure he never escapes the woods again.

The 1980s
All About the 80s
the popularisation of, and globalisation of
The 1980s saw a greater diversity in fashion than ever before, with it changing quickly. Fashion trends travel more quickly and widely than ever before as a result of growing world integration and popular culture. The decade's clothing and styles reflected increasingly different groups. In the past, there would often be one or two dominating styles at any given time, but in the 1980s, a number of different and separate sets of trends were all sharing the popularity at the same time.
Technology advancements, the growth of cable television, and networks like MTV made it easier for fans and viewers to see what celebrities were wearing, and a rising celebrity fascination propelled fashion to the fore of pop culture.
Jacqui Palumbo. (2018). How MTV Has Radically Reinvented Its Look Over Nearly Four Decades. [Online]. www.artsy.net. Last Updated: 1 August 2018. Available at: https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-mtv-radically-reinvented-four-decades [Accessed 4 February 2023].
The newest styles that their favourite musicians and actors were sporting in the newest music videos, movies, or public appearances were easily imitated by young people by going to the closest retail centres. Additionally, this was one of the first occasions when celebrities turned into fashion models and vice versa. For designers like Calvin Klein, well-known celebrities like Michael J. Fox became brand ambassadors. Celebrity definitions began to include fashion as a key component, and it has only grown in importance since then.
The Style
Big teased hair or spiral perms for women, mullets or more clean-cut styles for men, baggy and oversized tops, leggings, high-waisted jeans, ripped and acid-washed denim, tight exercise wear for everyday (leg warmers and spandex), headbands, shoulder pads, boxy silhouettes, large bold prints, and vibrant pastels and brights are just a few examples of the decade's fashion and clothing/style trends.
TAYLAH BREWER. (2022). 80S FASHION FOR WOMEN: THE 80S OUTFITS & STYLE GUIDE. [Online]. thetrendspotter.net. Last Updated: 25 January 2022. Available at: https://www.thetrendspotter.net/80s-fashion/ [Accessed 4 February 2023].
BIG. In this decade of excess and consumerism, overconsumption, overindulgence, and plain excess were hallmark characteristics. It was a period of plenty, hope, and blatant greed.
Supersized versions of shoulder pads were back in style, and the "Power Suit" represented women's rising stature in the workplace. The word "Yuppie" was created to describe the Young Urban Professionals in their 20s and 30s who were career-driven and preoccupied with money. The Yuppie set favoured khaki slacks, classic blue blazers, immaculate white shirts, polos by Lacoste and Ralph Lauren, and cotton cardigans thrown over the shoulders or loosely tied in front as their go-to casual attire. Designer logos evolved into exclusive status markers.

In the 1980s, bedazzled evening clothing adorned with sequins and beads was considered glamorous, as shown in the hit TV programmes Dallas and Dynasty. Hair was extravagantly coiffed, teased, and permed to ever-greater lengths. The jewellery of the day, which included big statement necklaces and long, dangling earrings, was also bright and bold.
Bryanne Salazar. (2021). 'DYNASTY' 40TH ANNIVERSARY: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?. [Online]. www.wonderwall.com. Last Updated: 12 January 2021. Available at: https://www.wonderwall.com/entertainment/tv/dynasty-actor-actress-where-are-they-now-original-cast-3 [Accessed 4 February 2023].
With the rise of MTV, which popularised music fashion, music continued to have a significant impact on fashion. In addition, several pop music singers developed into fashion icons. Madonna promoted wearing underwear as outerwear, which inspired women to don crinolines and lace bustiers in street fashion.
Olivia Blair. (2018). Madonna's most iconic fashion moments through the years. [Online]. www.harpersbazaar.com. Last Updated: 16 August 2018. Available at: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/fashion/style-files/g22735944/madonna-iconic-fashion-moments/ [Accessed 4 February 2023].
Designer Vivienne Westwood, who embraced historical fashion with the use of corsets and bustles and later invented the mini-crinolines, contributed to the further popularisation of New Wave music and the related New Romantics style trend.
Legendary musicians like Annie Lenox, Boy George, David Bowie, and Grace Jones influenced androgyny in dress. Japanese fashion designers persisted in breaking down barriers in the industry by experimenting with sculptural, avant-garde designs that cross gender lines.
Age of Music Videos
Steve strange Fade to grey 1980 song great video and good electric beat consist of boiler suits, lots of makeup
The Biltz
Two fashion colleges that experimented with fashion were situated between a London nightclub. In-demand fashionistas presented and dressed themselves. To replicate someone else's appearance was strictly forbidden because everyone was individual and unique!
Lauren Cochrane. (2013). Celebrating Blitz magazine – style bible for 80s club kids. [Online]. www.theguardian.com. Last Updated: 15 May 2013. Available at: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/fashion-blog/2013/may/15/blitz-magazine-style-80s-club-kids [Accessed 4 February 2023].
As part of this self-conscious and self-indulgent decade, the fitness boom of the 1980s gave rise to a fashion trend that brought dance and exercise wear from the studio and gym to the runway and the street. Women quickly embraced the neon leotards and leg warmers that Jane Fonda wore in her workout movies as fashionable accessories.
TAYLAH BREWER. (2022). 80S FASHION FOR WOMEN: THE 80S OUTFITS & STYLE GUIDE. [Online]. thetrendspotter.net. Last Updated: 25 January 2022. Available at: https://www.thetrendspotter.net/80s-fashion/ [Accessed 4 February 2023].
Women were inspired to wear tight leggings with big, baggy sweatshirts with necklines that carelessly hung off one shoulder inspired by the movie Flash dance. A complete collection made entirely of sweatshirt fabric was produced by designer Norma Kamali. Jogging or track suits have become accepted as daytime casual attire.

The aerobics craze influenced designer fashion with Lycra and other body conscious fabrics and styles infusing the dress designs of Azzedine Alaia and bodysuits by Donna Karan.
During the middle to end of the 1980s, dance, Reggie, and Hip Hop music culture had a significant impact.
It was all about attitude and fashions adapted from the streets, including graffiti art, when it came to how women dressed. The artists themselves developed become brands and entrepreneurs at this time. Urban street attire was developed by Jazzy B and Russell Simmons of Phat Fashion for their large following.

The Magazines
The Face, i-D, and Blitz magazines of the era all contributed to the dissemination of London club culture to a larger audience; The Face is particularly regarded as the decade's style bible.

The Designers
Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood focused her attention on Adam Ant, the lead vocalist of Adam and the Ants, after the Sex Pistols split up. He served as a showcase for Westwood's most recent designs, which became known as New Romanticism. She made the brand-new romantic "Pirate" seem successful. Her business now includes ready-to-wear, haute couture, a designer line, and accessories including bags, shoes, and jewelry.
Giorgio Armani
The 1980s were dominated by brands. In terms of fashion, Armani was the most exclusive brand you could have and still be considered truly fashionable. One of the first brands to venture outside of merely clothing to include various things like socks, sunglasses, and perfumes.
Polo Ralph Lauren
Polo Ralph Lauren created the preppy style that became so fashionable in the 1980s, especially among the wealthy.
If you watch most 80s teen movies, the conceited popular man will be sporting a Ralph Lauren-inspired preppy look! PRL is one of the most popular styles even today. In 1981, Lauren established history by being the first American fashion designer to have a store in Europe. He had expanded his fashion company by 1983 to include home decor items like pillows, beds, and blankets.
Calvin Klein
One of the decade's most popular fashion designers. After beginning his work in the late 1960s, Klein became a major brand creator by the early 1980s. His creations brought in roughly £487 million worldwide in 1982. His sportswear was available in high-end and more budget-friendly pricing ranges. He subsequently began to associate his name with kitchen and home goods. In this era, the most popular items that Klein created for both men and women were pants and underwear.
John Paul Gaultier
Gaultier, a really distinctive fashion designer, led the way in avant-garde design during the whole decade. He set the trends, thus everyone else imitated him as a designer. combining his wild imagination with observations of street flair. Gaultier introduced the world to the most amazing fashion during the 1980s. Even Madonna, the most stylish woman of the 1980s, had clothes created by him.
Azzedine Alaia
Another French designer who altered the woman's silhouette is Azzendine Alaia. In the 1980s, the fashion press gave him the moniker "King of Cling." He experimented with fabrics that adhered closely to the body, and it is thought that he created the use of Lycra for many clothing, including the body suit, cycling shorts, and stretch miniskirt.
Thierry Mugler
Several designers will introduce a fresh silhouette to womenswear. By designing a more feminine style with highlighted curves in the 1980s, he helped fashion move away from the hippy movement of the 1970s. Compared to the flowing costumes of the "Me decade," this was a far cry. Mugler created angular dresses instead by angling the hips and shoulders. The designer, who insisted that his clothes were merely modern, was given the nickname "prophet of futurism" for his groundbreaking approach to fashion, which included incorporating vivid colours and a tinge of theatricality in his designs.
Christian Lacroix
In the 1980s, the French fashion designer Christian Lacroix is credited for inventing a flurry of fresh haute couture styles. He departed the Patou fashion house at the end of the decade and launched his own line.
Lacroix incorporated vivid colours like magenta, orange, yellow, green, and brilliant pink into his creations, and he adorned them with large bows, exquisite beadwork, and eye-catching jewellery. In the 1980s, he was influenced by modernist color-based artists. His appreciation of opera and the theatre also informed many of his collections.
Japanese Takeover
Beginning in the 1980s, a new generation of Japanese designers became important figures in the global fashion industry. Rei Kawakubo, a designer for Comme des Garçons, and Yohji Yamamoto debuted their designs in F alongside Issey Miyake, who is credited with establishing avant-garde fashion.
In the 1980s, Japanese fashion designers introduced a fresh form of innovation that Europe lacked. There was a little bit of a shock factor, but it's likely that Europeans are now awakening to a new value.
Issey Miyake
Yohji Yamamoto
Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garçons

The trio ran right past him, their ears flopping.
It felt like time slowed down.
The taller boy looked up at Max as they passed, eyes widening as he took in Max’s fur cloak and leather gloves, the clearly expensive horse.
And Max’s heart stopped.
The kid looked like- he looked- He-
'Yakko?'
Time sped back up and, as the guard caught up, Max made a split-second decision.
He moved his horse forward, straight into the guard’s path.
*
Max doesn't want to visit Warnerstock. He doesn't want to make nice with King Salazar, but needs must. But when it gets too much he flees into Acme Falls.
How was he supposed to know he'd meet the missing Warner siblings? He doesn't, not at first.
Not until news of Salazar's defeat reaches Fantasia. Not until they're all invited to Yakko's coronation.

So I’ve been thinking up some more headcanons, or at least compiled a general list of what role the Animaniacs characters play in the Kipo au.
This is kinda long, and spoiler-ish, so I’m putting another ‘read more’.
Here’s the first post for more context.
So far:
The Warner Brothers are kids that have been underground for most of their lives. The mutes refer to them as the Burrow Brothers because Yakko’s a big mouth and might have said too much in front of Jamack.
Dot is raised by a family of wolf mutes and has basically lived on the surface all of her life. She goes by the name Wolf when the boys first meet her, but then confesses that her real name is “Dot” later on. (Call her Dottie and you die.)
Pinky and the Brain are mice mutes. Both of them are descended from intelligent lab mice, which is why Brain is so hellbent on conquering the world. Pinky on the other hand worked in Ratland along with Brad and Amy until he meets Brain.
The Goodfeathers are definitely in this au, mafia pigeon mutes just scream Kipo material. I like to think they’d have a long time rivalry with the Mod Frogs.
Slappy is a squirrel mute who takes in Dot after her wolf family tries to kill her and acts as her mentor figure. Though Dot eventually heads off on her own, she visits Slappy from time-to-time just to make sure she’s doing okay and to let her know what gossip she hears about the other mutes.
Also, would it be awful if I had Skippy die in this au? Like that’s the reason why Slappy is so adamant about helping Dot and training her how to survive on the surface, because she doesn’t want to see another child like her nephew get killed?
Buttons and Mindy live in the same burrow as Yakko and Wakko. Poor dog can never catch a break, especially when Mindy one day escapes to the surface and has to chase after her.
I’d say Rita and Runt could be the same as usual, but also Runt being a megamute dog sounds like a lot of fun. He just thinks Rita’s a really small dog. Same as the show, the two look for a home and a family to call their own despite Runt’s gigantic size.
The humans in the show all live in the same burrow as Yakko and Wakko (Dr. Scratchansniff, Nurse, Plotz, Ralph, etc.)
Doctor Scratchansniff works as the burrow’s p-psychiatrist. He becomes a father figure to both Yakko and Wakko after their parents leave them in his care. Not only that, but with Wakko as a child with megamute DNA flowing through his veins (well maybe ink) Scratchy does everything he can to nail it on the head for Yakko to keep Wakko calm whenever they’re around other people. (Luckily Wakko’s megamute powers doesn’t start emerging until the boys are on the surface.) Despite that the boys are chaotic and pull many pranks on him and the other people in the burrow, Scratchy holds a special place in his heart for them both, which is why he leaves behind clues so they’ll be able to find the new burrow.
Heloise Nerz (Hello Nurse) is Scratchy’s assistant like in the show, and a giant advocator in the burrow. She tends to the sick and runs the small hospital. Not only that, but she also helps run the school due to being one of the more educated people in the burrow.
Plotz is the burrow’s leader, and a rather selfish one at that. He usually has Ralph deal with the other denizens rather than himself. As always, Plotz hates the Warner Brothers and would rather cast them out on the surface than continually deal with their daily shenanigans. Lucky for him, his wish comes true when the two are nowhere to be seen after the megamute attack.
Ralph acts as Plotz’s bodyguard. Anyone that wants to get to Plotz has to get through him.
The Hip Hippos are hippo mutes. That’s it. I doubt a lot of you will be sad if I don’t have them super involved in the au.
Chicken Boo also lives in the burrow. He’s a chicken mute that’s convinced all the burrow people that he’s a person like them, and luckily no one has caught on yet. Well except Ralph, but nobody pays any mind to him.
I’ve already mentioned a little about Angelina and William in the last post, but they’re the Warner siblings scientist parents who worked among Salazar’s Science Guild. Both end up having to leave Yakko and Wakko behind when Salazar pursues them.
Angelina was originally from the burrow that they bring the boys to. She grew up alongside Heloise and was mentored by Scratchy, which is why she goes to them to take care of the boys while her and William dealt with Salazar. It’s also her who figures out the cure for the mutes; yet after seeing how Hugo improved intellectually during their tests, she feels like there could be another way for humans and toons to live back on the surface without taking away the mutes’ intelligence.
William grew up in the same burrow as Salazar, and is aware of what a nasty person he is. He’s quite fond of the scientist from another burrow, and starts a family with Angelina. (Also I’m a terrible person and have him get killed while trying to protect Dot.)
As mentioned, Salazar is the head of their Science Guild, whose mission it is to find a cure that will revert the mutes back to their small unintelligible, animal selves. What he doesn’t know is that someone has already figured out a solution, and instead was using it to raise a toon/mute hybrid. Once he discovers Wakko’s existence, he’s relentless to get his hands on him and destroy the child once and for all.
