#abe from clone high is actually quite an important character to me and i'm still upset that he's been written so poorly in season 2

ok just gonna say something really quick: i absolutely hate Abe's characterisation in the reboot of Clone High because it is nothing like how he acted in season 1 and it just. isn't funny. they've turned this good-intentioned but flawed loser kid who just wants to be like the original Abraham Lincoln but doesn't know how to, into a self-centered and arrogant asshole who literally almost said a horrible ableist slur twice in the first episode. like. i'm being serious, he almost says the R-slur twice in the same minute and i dunno about you but i really don't find it very funny when a) the only "joke" behind it is "oh look at how bad Abe is compared to the more progressive sensitivities of the new generation of clones, isn't he just terrible", and b) they felt the need to completely rewrite a pre-existing character that fans are already attached to to do something against his own morals for the sake of a shitty joke, and c) TOPHER WAS RIGHT THERE!!! isn't he supposed to be the asshole or am i missing something?? like...

i'm not saying you can't have "edgy" or "dark" comedy or whatever, but personally, i don't find it very funny when a character that actually means quite a lot to me and is one of my favourites is twisted and rewritten into an arrogant asshole in an apparent attempt to appeal to the people who hate Abe for his flaws in the original show. especially when he's rewritten to be someone who would say a slur that's literally been used against my fellow disabled peers, myself included. it just feels... wrong. it actually hurts a lot to see a character i once loved and found to be one of the funniest and most important characters in the show be turned into an arrogant dick, with barely any thought or meaning put into him. i don't like what they did with the rest of the OG cast as well (such as Joan making a complete 180 in her entire character, JFK's character assassination, the removal of Gandhi, Cleo barely being in it etc.), but to me, they did Abe the dirtiest in this season and i'm really disappointed that one of my favourite shows had to continue like this :(

Hola! Amo como dibujas, si no te molesta puedo preguntar si tienes algunos headcanon de Clone high. Es que no he visto por otros lugares headcanon de esta serie.

✨✨✨

gracias por tus amables palabras ♡!! Y por supuesto, no me importa compartir mi headcanon sobre estas tonterías. De hecho, agradezco que preguntes, aunque podría escribirlas en inglés porque mi español no es el mejor, así que espero que no te importe.

So let's begin with the headcanons (i might update this post from time to time)

•mr.b is everyone's therapist.

• joan talks to jesús about her clone mother and gets things off her chest with him, so yea they besties.

• Joan was both celo and jfk bi awakening.

•abe float through the air when he smells pie.

•confucius the type of friend to record the whole fight.

• topher yells at kids while playing video games.

• like one of my last posts I'd like to think that Vincent likes to practice facepainting on Julius's face bc he drew one time on his face in a sleepover and Julius thought the drawing was good and told him to practice more on it.

• jesús gets bushed into pool (or lakes) by others several times just to see if he can walk on water like his clone father.

• topher the type of guy to say " i wasn't even playing." When he gets caught in hide and seek.

• Frida and Vincent are drawing buddies + as an artist i think they would draw/Paint their crushs (especially frida with cleo).

• Catherine and Julius are still friends after breaking up.

• abe "accidentally" calls any short person he hangs out with 'Gandhi' and immediately apologize about it.

• jfk is the type of person to say "well well well, what do we have here?".

•celo and Gandhi are the type of siblings to be "get out of my room!!" And gandhi standing right outside says "im not even in your room"

•confucius love language is giving gifts especially expensive ones.

• Harriet dyed her hair pink so she can match with confucius's blue hair.

• celo tries her lipstick on fridas face.

• jesús and Julius lifts Vincent so they can talk to him and hear him clearly/ or lift him to reach to things he wants but out of his reach.

• Julius and Vincent start dating eachother in season 2 because they promised they'd do it if they were 30 and still single, which they technically were, but eventually they actually quite liked the idea of it, and also Vincent and anne boelynn looks like a cute couple as well. Vincent has TWO HANDS.

And btw I'm a multi-shipper so if you see ship a character with another and in the next I ship them with another please don't get mad at me for it.

well that's all for now ig but thanks again for your questions pal♡!!
