Bitzi Baxter gets her ear cut by CHi-Fu

Title says it all. has blood and swearing.

[I do not & never will own Arthur or Mulan.]

BANG BANG BANG BANG!

Bitzi Baxter heard the door to her and her son Buster's apartment banging.

"Now who can that be?" she said, heading to the door, which was being knocked on harder.

She opened the door, and there she saw Chi-Fu, from Mulan, glaring at her.

"Look," she said to Chi-Fu, "whatever you're selling, I'm not interested, so please go away."

"Oh, I am not here to sell you anything." Chi-Fu said bitterly. "I'm here for justice."

"Justice?" asked Bitzi.

"Yep." Chi-Fu said. "I watched the Arthur episode 'Nerves of Steal', and you were an absolute shithead!"

Bitzi was gobsmacked. "Excuse me!" she said, "we don't tolerate language like that in this place! My son never says that language at all!"

Chi-Fu was too annoyed to pay attention to that comment. "YOU GROUNDED YOUR SON FOR A MONTH WITH NO DESSERT JUST BECAUSE HE STOLE A TOY AND TRIED TO RETURN IT WITH HIS FRIEND ARTHUR!"

"I didn't know he was trying to return it at the time!" Bitzi protested.

"Too late!" Chi-Fu snapped. "you did a bad thing!"

"and now," he added evilly, brandishing a pair of very sharp scissors, "You're gonna pay!"

And before Bitzi had time to escape or call the police, Chi-Fu grabbed one of her ears, and cut a deep cut into it with the scissors.

It hurt a lot for Bitzi, who fell to the floor, crying her eyes out, her ear bleeding like anything.

Chi-Fu, not feeling an ounce of sympathy, said, "go to hell, shithead." and left.

FUCK YOU, BITZI BAXTER, YOU SHITHEAD MOM! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU GROUND BUSTER FOR A MONTH WITH NO DESSERT JUST CAUSE HE STOLE A TOY THEN RETURNED IT! YOU ARE A BIG FAT UGLY SHITHEAD BITCH NIGGA BASTARD!

An Objectively Correct Rewrite of The Arthur Finale

'Sup nerds and nerdinos, I have a problem with Arthur.

No, not Arthur Koestler (though no one with CBE after their name escapes my wrath on principle alone). I'm talking about Arthur Read, the autistic aardvark who dresses like an 8 year old Mr. Rogers and somehow still has more friends than you.

But my problem isn't with the twerp's fashion sence, it's with Season 25, Episode 4b: All Grown Up, aka Arthur's final episode. The very moment it released in 2022 the ground quaked, the oceans roared, the angels wept as the sky tore asunder and God Themself¹ decended to personsally task me with rewriting it. I said I'd get around to it.

Babies and mentlegen, that day is today because I have nothing better to do.

TW: SA, drugs, death, TERFs, student loans

The Correct Futures

The only thing you need to know about the old version is that they got old, cuz we're scrapping all of it aside from that. The adult versions of each characters was so far removed from the actual futures of these characters that I am personally insulted and have filed with my lawyer to see everyone responsible for it given a restraining order. So we gotta fix that. This episode here is gonna be a feature-length anthology film. Every character gets a 5-10 minute sequence where we see how the next 20 years of their life unfold. I'm gonna put them in alphabetical order because the only one who can tell me what to do is my talking cat. Oh, and remember: Habrá Examen, Langosta Perezosa! ***~~~*** ***~~~***

Alan "Brain" Powers: Goes to MIT and finds that, after being "The Brain" for so many years, he is suddenly just average. It's such a shock to his ego that he begins to instinctively lash out at everything he finds unfamiliar, eventually dropping out and becoming a moderately successful right-wing podcaster and youtuber.

Arthur Read: Our boy grows up to be a perpetual grad student (English major, of course). He pays the rent as a TA and is so terrified of the world outside of academia that he finds comfort spending quiet evenings in, grading papers from the comfort of his dingy bachelor apartment. He lives off instant ramen and spends most of his free time escaping into his books. He sometimes daydreams of getting a "real job", owning a house, and raising a family like his parents did, but dismisses it as too idealistic.

Buster Baxter: Eventually gets Diagnosed with ADHD and an Adderall prescription changes his life. He starts excelling in school and fixates on a dream of becoming an indie film director. At age 14 he is diagnosed with a brain tumor, and a few weeks after his 17th birthday his dying wish is fulfilled when his ashes are sent to space². Every year that passes his friends take a little longer to remember his name.

D.W. Read: Develops symptoms of BPD and a coke addiction. At age 16 she uses a fake I.D. to get a job as a stripper until her cousin Ryder recognises her mid-lap dance. She spends a year in juvie and drops out of high school. She drops by the Read household every few months to ask for money, but the rest of the time no one knows where she is.

Fern & George Walters: Fern and George marry when they are both 18, he takes her last name. She is a stay-at-home mother raising their two young children, writing BDSM-fueled erotic fiction while the kids are at school. George keeps the bills paid with a steady office job as a software engineer and maintains a healthy work-life balance to ensure he's present for his family. They've never left Elwood and wouldn't have it any other way.

Frank Frensky: Frank (still going by "Francine") goes through an extended period of identifying as a butch lesbian before finally coming out as trans-masc. When he finally transitions it involves cutting off his family and moving out of state to start fresh. He plays drums in an underground queercore collective and self-publishes a zine featuring semi-biographical comics about a young boy growing up in Elwood.

Jenna Morgan: Disappears under mysterious circumstances. No one notices for 7 years, which then sparks a city-wide furvor as everyone tries to investigate the disappearance at once. Later found to have not actually gone anywhere.

Muffy Crosswire: Dates Frank ("Francine") for most of high school. Muffy ends the relationship when Frank comes out as trans and gets deep into TERF circles. After graduating Yale and getting her LLM in constitutional law she enters state-level politics as an openly queer Republican. She uses LGBTQ+ and Feminist talking points to advance a far-right cryptofascist agenda and is generally considered to be "one of the good ones" by both parties.

Prunella Deegan: A naturopathic wellness-coach with extensive collections of both healing crystals and cats. Her entire segment is an extended anti-vax rant with hippy aphorisms sprinkled throughout. Enthusiastically voted for Muffy.

Shelley "Binky" Barnes: His mother begins an extended affair with Pickles the Clown, leading the already-distant Mr. Barnes to file for divorce. Binky is left in his mother's care, but she soon finds him too much to handle, especially with how little he seems to respect his new step-father. He is passed around various aunts and uncles for most of his adolescent life and begins to act out at school as a result, earning him a reputation as a troublemaker. When he's sixteen he attends a house party and finds Sue Ellen alone in a room with the dead body of a boy from their class. She frantically explains that he was trying to assault her and hit his head on something after she pushed him off. Binky opts to take the fall for her, stating to police that he punched the boy in jealousy. He is sentenced to 10 years in prison for aggravated assault and 3rd degree murder. Even while in prison he maintains a close friendship - bordering on romance - with Sue Ellen, but he insists that she not wait for him because he wants her to be happy and loved. A week after his release he is arrested for armed robbery. Officers report that the suspect seemed relieved when they arrived, and said something to the effect of "I'm going home".

Sue Ellen Armstrong: Sue Ellen becomes an ardent activist in middle school and is a regular face at demonstrations and community support orgs alike all throughout high school. When she's 16 a boy tries to force himself on her at a house party and she fights him off, accidentally snapping his neck and killing him instantly. Binky perjurs himself in order to take the fall for her. As the years pass, Sue Ellen gets burned out as an activist and instead works as a graphic designer for NPOs. She continues to visit Binky in prison and considers him her one true love, though he insists they can never be because she deserves someone who can be there for her. Sue Ellen never commits to a serious relationship, but does occasionally entertain casual encounters with older, often married, men. Occasionally speedruns Virtual Goose: Unleashed on Twitch.

Third Grade Male Rat #1: Killed in an altercation after sexually assaulting Sue Ellen. Is mourned by no one.

No one.

So yeah, I think that's pretty much it. Make it hand-drawn, black-and-white, and have it on my desk in an hour kthxbi

[butterfrogmantis]

Sometimes he just. Says stuff.

Lore accurate Bitzi moment

I surprisingly wasn't as traumatised by the 1978 version as I think I could have been. Also speaking of Watership Down and moose remember that time the singer of 'bright eyes' showed up to sing the 'ballad of buster baxter' as a moose. I do.

[funkyrabbit]

want to make buster's house in the sims but unfortunately i CANNOT figure out the interior layout, you got any idea of episodes with good baxter residence shots

ooo yeah there's a ton! most of the buster-focused episodes give some great shots of the condo's interior. off the top of my head there's "buster's book battle," "on the buster scale," "ungifted," "sue ellen moves in," "buster makes the grade," "bitzi's beau" and "bitzi's break up"! but IMO some of the older episodes (like from seasons 1-3) don't have super high quality shots of the condo, i'd mostly go from like s4-5 forward. some of my fav shots are actually from the flash era, the animation quality declined but the background illustrations were still very crisp and nice

here are some shots i've collected if it helps!

We got robbed 😔👊

Bitzi Baxter and Harry Mills should’ve stayed together and that’s on that,,,

[chocolatecak3]

Bitzi: What is that?

Patrick, just wanting to see Nigel again: *Screaming*

Buster: He’s just been here.. I don’t know what to do.

[sunnysidedwn]

Thank you @jewelartbyjewel you beautiful bean 🥰🥰

I am not the most INTERESTING person but let me go ahead and try this out.

1. Just going off of Jewel’s last one, I actually hve 3 tattoos all of which I designed myself, and 2 of which I have done myself. The tattoos are of: The Equal Rights sign, a flower on my kneecap, and a giraffe on my right forearm. I want to design a Kyoshi one for my thigh or left forearm but we’ll see how that goes.

2. I own 10 pets! Of those being: 4 dogs(Bitzi, Baxter, Baylor, and Brodie), 2 cats(Bellatrix and Beatrice), 2 leopard geckos(Willie and Nova), 1 bearded dragon(Godzilla), and 1 boa constrictor(Maple). Granted 5 are my parents but the other five I take care of 100% on my own.

3. I currently play 3 instruments regularly(guitar, ukulele, and bohran) but I have played: Marching snare, drumset, marimba, timpani, vibraphone, and bass drum. I miss being a percussionist and it was actually my 3rd choice for majors because I had a scholarship for Music.

4. I have rewatched Legend of Korra literally 6 times in the past 2 months. I probably have the entirety of season 1 memorized and that’s pretty whack. I really need to get a life(even though I have a job).

5. I have been in a long term relationship for 4 years now, and she is genuinely the Asami to my Korra. I see our relationship in theirs so much and it makes me happy.

I have no clue who to tag so if you see this and you want to do it, go for it!!!

1. I’m currently watching Hannibal (still in season one) and holy shit this might be my soulmate show?? How did I not know this was so amazing?

2. I just cleaned the fuck out of my apartment and I’m exhausted. I mean, I’m so glad I did it and I have a clean apartment but omg. Tired.

3. Writing fanfiction is probably one of my favorite things to do. I don’t sit down and make room for me to do it often enough, but writing fanfic truly makes me feel like I belong.

4. Tonight at sundown the Jewish new year starts!! It’s called Rosh Hashana! So this fact is that I’m Jewish.

5. I’m also poly and queer as all fuck. I’ve got two lovely partners 😊

Arthur Recap Season 8 Episode 1 Bitzi’s Break Up

This is a recap that should have been done on Friday but I got back from Canada and I was very tired and just wanted to eat food and lay down. So this means that there will hopefully be a recap this Friday as well!

Bitzi, Harry, and Buster are walking home from the circus. Buster is animatedly chatting about the clowns and elephants as Harry and Bitzi look uncomfortable. What, hey feel guilty about supporting the corrupt circus industry? Harry tries to make an excuse to leave but Buster insists on dragging them inside The Sugar Bowl to order Harry’s signature sub.

As they sit in the booth, Bitzi attempts to start a serious conversation but Buster reads in the newspaper that a showing of the latest kid movie is playing and insists that they all go. He is already out the door before either Bitzi or Harry can protest.

"I guess I’ll have to talk to him tonight,” sighs Bitzi. She and Harry prepare follow the cheerful Buster out the door but as Buster watches them from outside the window, you can tell that he does know that Something Serious is about to go down and is just trying to put it off.

But here’s the important question: did the Baxters just order a sandwich and then walk out before eating or paying for that? That must have been really annoying for the workers.

In the morning, Buster and Bitzi have breakfast together and Bitzi can finally have her serious talk with Buster without him running off and trying to convince her to buy lunch or go see a movie. Buster sighs that he already knows what’s happening: Harry is moving away to be a pilot or do some other job that he can’t do in Elwood City and Buster won’t get to see him anymore.

Bitzi assures Buster that Harry isn’t moving away but...she is breaking up with him.

Buster is so devastated that you’d think he broke up with Harry.

Buster talks over the break up with Arthur. He admits that he doesn’t know why Bitzi and Harry broke up and doesn’t want to ask. Still, he’s sad that he won’t get to go to the Greebs games with Harry anymore and his mom will probably date some boring insurance salesman named Martin Spivak.

“I hate Martin Spivak!” says Buster emphatically. 

“Who?” asks Arthur. He wasn’t treated to the fantasy sequence.

Buster decides that he has to get Bitzi and Harry back together!

Buster consults with the only love expert he knows: Muffy. It goes as well as you’d think taking advice from a vain, materialistic eight year old girl would go: Muffy lets him borrow her teen magazine, suggests he get a romantic dinner catered by an expensive French restaurant, and believes Buster has a crush on one of their classmates.

I mean, Muffy was the one who figured out Buster’s mom was dating in the first place!

Anyway, Buster goes around town and gets the stuff ready for the make up date. He types a letter and douses it--and I mean douses it--in Bitzi’s perfume and then sneaks into Harry’s office to place it there. He then steals flowers from the community garden and when the expensive French restaurant is too expensive for him, he buys a cheap pizza.

At the Baxter house, he turns down the lights and plays a romantic record and waits for Bitzi and Harry to arrive.

Bitzi and Harry get to the house but are confused as to what’s going on and start arguing over whether or not Bitzi left him a note. Buster reveals himself and tells Bitzi that Harry won’t take her back if she just yells at him,

“But I don’t want Harry to take me back. I broke up with him,” says Bitzi.

Buster is crushed.

Harry quickly excuses himself so Bitzi and Buster can have a talk. Bitzi explains to Buster that she broke up with Harry because they both have demanding schedules and don’t have time for a relationship. Buster accepts these reasons but is still sad that he won’t get to hang out with Harry.

He asks his mom to leave the pie Harry brought over. Buster needs to smoke a bowl and think about life.

Bitzi hates to see her son so depressed and doesn't want him moving into hard drugs so she arranges a special surprise for Buster: she takes him to The Sugar Bowl where he will have a sandwich named after him and Harry will be there to take him to a Greebs game.

It’s may have been Bitzi’s break up but it’s not Buster’s.

Grade: A- (I like the way the show handles single parent issues and the problem of a parent breaking up with a partner that the child liked is bound to come up. Although, I bet in real life that most parents wouldn’t let their kid hang around their ex. Still, it’s sweet how Bitzi realized that Buster didn’t want to lose another father figure.)

Rating: 65% intense. Break ups are intense.
