Dot no stop stealing Yakko’s shticks

Imma say this 6 days in advance, but...

For the love of god, please tag your spoilers once season 2 comes out!

Not everybody is gonna watch all the episodes in one day (like myself). Some people may watch a few episodes at a time, or even one episode a day. If you watch it all in one day, that’s fine. If you post/reblog stuff that’s fine too, but please tag your spoilers, so as not to spoil those who haven’t seen the epiosde(s)!

Thank you.

Spoilers for Animainiacs Season 2 under the cut!

Alright hear me out on this one.....

In episode 8, the PATB segment focused on Pinky and How he can’t control his hands.

In the same episode, We can see the violent tendencies that his hands have (slapping and hurting Brain, taking out everyone in the cafeteria with ease {Even Brain found it undescribably awesome}, trying to push Brain out of the helicopter, multiple times his own hands tried to choke him.....

Hell! Even the first interaction after his hands got minds of their own was them trying to kill Brain by choking him.

So that left me thinking......

What if mind control wasn’t the downfall for dark Pinky but instead was his hands?

Think about it....

If Pinky never got a concussion, he would’ve been stuck with having his hands like that forever and fearing for Brain’s safety and everyone else’s safety, even his own, he left to become isolated, making him depressed and realizing that Brain was the one who tested his machine on Pinky, giving him hands he can’t control, rendering him angered and betrayed, making him want to rule the world to get back at Brain for what he had done to him.

When Brain finally finds him, Pinky can seem to control his hands more by himself, but they still act uncontrollably, being able to stop all attempts from Brain trying to hit him on the head, reversing the effects and being able to fight back, making Brain become helpless and starting to fear Pinky because of how power driven he became.

Anyway, this is just my theory! Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading! :)

So they remember this and the Warners singing the Pinky and the Brain intro, but they forget that the paddleball and masterpiece theater parody belong to YAKKO instead of Dot (along with him doing math just fine)? Idk man, I don’t wanna be a downer, but something’s not adding up here...

I see you like animaniacs so I wonder if maybe you have any headcannons ya wanna share?

Oh definitely! The reboot pretty solidified some of the headcannons I already had, especially for Yakko SO I'm probably only gonna mention him for now. These are basically me just kinda self projecting onto yakko if anything lmao

But first I wanna talk about the way I see the 2020 Reboot vs. The original 90's show in terms of the Warner Segments specifically:

Even though I have not seen the entire original show outside of a few clips, the reboot definetly has a different feel to it. Just from comparing one clip from the 90's show to one clip of the reboot, you can tell it is different, but not TOTALLY 100% different either, almost like a shift in focus it seems. Whereas the original show seemed more educational focused and had more of an "On Stage" feeling, the reboot strikes me as having more of an "Off Stage" focused kinda feeling. Yakko is especially different, he seems to get agitated much easier and is more quick to anger compared to the other two. The Warners seem much more emotional and expressive here in the reboot. Their personalities are added on to, make them stand out a bit more from each other outside of Yakko is the level headed, know it all sorta leader, Wakko eats, and Dot is cute. I think that's a very neat, and refreshing change. Tbh I think that if the three of them were exactly like how they were in the 90's, people would get bored of the Reboot series really quick after maybe three episodes.

Anywho, enough of my little rant lmao now let's move onto some of my Yakko headcannons:

So uh screenshots/spoilers from animaniacs reboot up ahead, you have been warned I guess

I have a hc where Yakko cant stand loud sounds/noises (well more specifically my hc is that he's gets very overwhelmed by it, but with these sorts things you kinda have to reach)

In the episode "Who Donut?" , we see Yakko immediately go to pulling and tugging at his own ears when Wakko starts crying(?) Screaming(?) (I'm not entirely sure how to describe it.)

He looks way more distressed about it too compared to Dot, who's just kinda cringing at the noise if anything.

And in episode 7, "Warner She Wrote", Yakko literally screams because of the noise

Wakko and Dot aren't bothered by the noise (but then again, they are already asleep and are partly the cause of said noise lol)

I sometimes do the same thing at home when I'm feeling overwhelmed by the ruckus, whether I mean to do it or not. I will try to be the loudest person, by a significant margin, in the room in order to get everyone else to stop what they're doing and shut up.

And then my other HC of Yakko being insecure in at least one aspect of himself (his sense of humor in this case) and not liking being all alone/without his siblings.

In the Halloween special episode, Yakko loses his cool when there's no laughing, comment, or any reaction in general (but that literally because there is no one but him in the building other than him and low-budget pennywise; and the latter doesnt react to anything Yakko says either.)

Just that whole

Then when his siblings arrive (who basically save him in the nick of time),

He literally turns to them and asks if they think he's funny (of course they reassure him and say yes)

Honestly I felt that whole segment proved that Yakko has a massive dislike of being byhimself, especially without his siblings, in most circumstances and is insecure in at least one aspect of himself.

So uh basically some of my headcannons for Yakko are:

He gets overwhelmed by loud noises much easier than Wakko or Dot

He is insecure in at least one aspect of himself

He hates being alone/ constantly needs someone around to talk to, because otherwise he doesnt know what to do with himself.

Jesus, season one of the 2020 Animaniacs reboot has not been kind to Yakko lmaoo

Anywho those are some of my personal headcannons for yakko ig
