Tbh I've always known that Captain underpants was a book series waay before the movie, always hooked up with the movie since 2017 but strangely never watched it back then?? This year tho a friend of mine suddenly reminded me that Captain underpants exist, and I've binged both Movie and Show, currently trying to buy all of the books! 3 more books to go to complete my 12 captain underpants book! :D

[troubldteenz]

I know this is different than what I usually post BUT WHATEVER it’s what I’ve been consuming nonstop for the past few weeks

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS IS AWESOME!!

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS 101: A FULL LESSON ON THE SERIES AS A WHOLE AND THE IDENTITY IMPLICATIONS IT PRESENTS

for @basilthesnakingthing's own enjoyment

quick disclaimer that I have not read the books in a few years, but I did rewatch the film this morning and as I write this, the Netflix TV series is playing in the background. my knowledge is not perfect and I may have a few details off, but this has been written to the best of my ability.

basic knowledge about the series:

cu was originally a series of twelve epic novels written by Dav Pilkey. it centres around two American fourth grade boys, George Beard (the kid on the left with the tie and the flat top) and Harold Hutchins (the kid on the right with the t-shirt and the bad haircut. remember that now).

the two of them have been best friends forever and create many comics in George's tree house in their spare time, the most relevant of these comics being of Captain Underpants, a superhero whom they invented because so many superheroes look like they're flying around in their underwear. he's faster than a speeding waistband, more powerful than boxer shorts, and able to leap tall buildings without getting a wedgie, (yes this is a quote from the actual series) and has the catchphrase "Tra-La-La". like his name suggests, he wears underwear, and in addition to that, a red cape with polka dots. he is also bald.

the boys' main concern in life is their school principal, Mr Benjamin Krupp (egg /aff). Mr Krupp is a grouchy toupee-wearing child-hating curmudgeon (who, at least in the film, literally lives on Curmudgeon Boulevard). Mr Krupp's mission in life is to make his students, especially George and Harold, as miserable as possible.

the series of events that leads to the main plot differs between the books and the film (with the origin skipped altogether in the tv series), but the basic gist is that the boys end up in a situation where they are at the complete mercy of Mr Krupp, and they are not happy. this is where the 3D Hypno Ring comes in. the 3D Hypno Ring, in the book, was manufactured by Li'l Wiseguy Novelty Company and acquired by George through online order; in the film, it was acquired by George as a toy from a cereal box. either way, it is in George's possession, and as a last-ditch attempt at stopping Mr Krupp, the boys hypnotise him into thinking he is, in fact, Captain Underpants.

the swap between Mr Krupp and Captain Underpants is triggered by two separate events: in order to turn Krupp into Cap, one must snap their fingers. so, literally any time Krupp hears finger-snapping, he turns into Cap. in order to turn Cap into Krupp, he needs his head to get wet. it's not fully clear how wet his head needs to be in order to swap back, but if Krupp's head is wet without a way to dry it, he cannot be turned into Cap, as the water counteracts the snapping. in the same vein, if Krupp cannot hear the snap, he cannot be turned into Cap.

Cap, although he means well, is not exactly the most intelligent of people, and usually ends up causing more trouble than he causes. we love him for this. although he starts out a normal man with normal man abilities, he does eventually gain superpowers. in the third book, he drinks alien extra-strength super power juice, which gives him superhuman strength, durability and flight abilities. in the film, he falls into a giant radioactive toilet and acquires powers from the horrible toxic waste within - these powers are the same as in the books, but with the addition of unlimited underwear. the show, once again, does not show this origin, however, it's implied that the Cap of this timeline also drank alien superpower juice.

the books and show usually go on with a base plotline of George and Harold make a comic, and somehow (usually due to some sort of prank they pull, often with the aid of one of Melvin's inventions), the monstrous, potty-humour themed villain of the comic comes to life. Jerome Horowitz Elementary will never know a day of peace again.

and yeah, there you have the basic gist of Captain Underpants lore! I've skipped out on many other characters and plot points that aren't too relevant to what I want to talk about, so I'll just move on now.

KRUPP, CAP, AND MY THOUGHTS:

so, Krupp and Cap are the same person. neither of them know this, of course; Krupp, whenever he hears the snapping of fingers, essentially blacks out until he comes to, all wet and in his underwear. he is not having a fun time of it, as his memory is basically Swiss Cheese and odd things keep happening at his school, which he continuously misses. his swap back from Cap to Krupp is usually accompanied by dialogue such as "where am I?! what's going on?! where are my pants?!" etc., etc. he doesn't even know that 'Captain Underpants' exists in real life. meanwhile Cap doesn't really know Krupp exists either. in the film, he believes that 'Principal Krupp' is his alter ego, a secret identity of sorts who isn't actually real. in all of the media, though, he doesn't really question what happens between fights or even acknowledge his gaps in memory - he sort of just jumps into whatever situation he finds awakens to without really needing to orientate himself.

of course, all three sets of media are geared towards a rather young audience, so we don't really see any exploration of the consequences of Krupp and Cap technically being the same person within canon. well, that's what fanon is for!

I like to think that Krupp notices the missing time and starts worrying. I love the angst potential of not knowing what he's lost, not understanding why so many things happen at the school he runs that he just... never sees. do you know how much property damage is done to that place, and he has no idea what caused it? it's such a good way to both look at how Krupp sees himself, how he acts outside of tormenting children, what he cares about, and y'know. putting the egg through the ol' ringer (if you can't tell, Krupp is my favourite character). in canon, he already expresses distress about the lost time, even if it's just for a few moments per book/episode.

Cap, meanwhile, lives his life like it's a comic book, because in his mind, life is kind of a comic book to him. he's a superhero! he fights crime! he saves the day! anything between that is just filler, and who pays attention to filler anyway?

of course, the identity issues would probably truly come to a head whenever the two find out about each other. once again, this sort of thing never happens in canon, but it's been explored plenty in the fandom! my personal favourite example of this is the @cu-stickynotes-au, which I highly recommend checking out.

also, bringing George and Harold back into this (as I ought to, they are the protagonists), the fact that two ten-year-old boys LITERALLY MIND-CONTROLLED THEIR PRINCIPAL IN ORDER TO HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES TO THEIR ACTIONS IS INSANE. yes, they are both children and they don't fully understand the scope of their actions, but also. holy what. I just think it's so interesting to have this man whose life has been permanently altered and who is also two men in one body with serious identity issues oncoming, and it's all because of these two random children. that is insane.

when considering Krupp and Cap as a unit, the main question I often ponder is this: are Krupp and Cap the same person? bodily, yes. but mentally? eh, who knows? in my mind, 'Captain Underpants' is still technically a two-dimensional character made by ten-year-old boys. however, Cap is now a three-dimensional person. I think at least subconsciously, he's definitely influenced by Krupp, and vice versa. Krupp and Cap are very much opposites: Mean Ol' Principal Krupp, who hates children and anything fun, who is grounded in pessimism and reality, and Captain Underpants, who loves children, adores potty humour and laughter, and who is not only an optimist, but is fully the opposite of grounded. he can literally fly! whether they're the same person is ambiguous to me, but I like to think that there's some mental connection. plus, if you want to pull in some real world facts about hypnosis - it doesn't really work unless your at least partially open to suggestion (at least I think, I'm admittedly not at all knowledgeable in hypnosis). so there's my thoughts on that question.

this post took me five episodes of the CU Netflix series to write. that is insane. I could probably expand more upon these thoughts, but frankly, I'm really tired and I don't feel like it right now. I would rather continue watching fun little show. also, sorry if some of this doesn't make sense, I read the books in English, watched the show in French, and have seen the film in both, so I had to do some mental translation for a few of these sentences. hope this helped explain the pattern between my interests through my life, Basil!

Smiling Friends at Pony Town Memories ADVENCHA!!!

Part III

An experimental bit to compensate for my always delayed screenshottter phone and archiving ponytown instances to doodles. I roleplay as Charlie and these are the highlights of my interactions with a Pim kinner @mellowvisions .

Although I haven't taken drugs, I felt like I am high in these conversations, it's just one shower thought after the other. This is the last bunch for today and it feels right it ends this way.

Hours pass and it's really coming along greatly. There's this awesome dude was nearby and like wow I can't take off my eyes on him like get this – he has more beard than any Santa Claus I've encountered in any mall. Like all natural beard. He let us touch it and it feels like an ancient artifact. It looks so cool and I'm considering about growing out a beard myself.

(Charlie and Pim having beards just makes them looking more akin to their voice actors bwhahshck. I really saw bright orange shirt with blue accent and white bandana having pony and I was like "IS THAT A DRAGONBALL CHARACTER?" I-)

Turns out the guy just got released out of prison and got the prison bar glitch 50 years ago. It is rumored around here in the local area with how bad the police are in their jobs that the prison cells are so tired of being empty, it just teleports in people, regardless of they're innocent or guilty. I don't really believe it, like I just think it's the police but it might as well happen here. I hand out the Smiling Friends building address to the guy by writing on his palm. Oh, the pen was from Pim, he always had some just in case we need to write on something and that pays off.

(I just love like trying to make sense of the show and its lore. Like as a charity that wishes to help people lift spirits, I wouldn't question like the building having a facilities to cater to those who are homeless or like neglected by society – have you noticed their building is beside an asylum. I improv that theres a public showers available and I wanna imagine they hand out free food too.

Uhh also referencing what happened to the background character in the Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty? ep like dude just walks out the theatre and be lookin confused when he's behind prison bars the next scene release him he did nothing wrong)

It's pretty uneventful after that. Pim and I discuss what just happened.

( I really like Charlie's front face in the Charlie Pim And Bill Vs. The Alien episode it reminds me of Captain Underpants somehow oml. Also, the disjointed phrases is mostly to blame with Ponytown chat limited-words-of-pop-up-at-time but it feels right since it emulates like Charlie and Pim sometimes cutting each other off it's brilliant)

What I heard is groundbreaking, earth shattering, reality tilting notion. I genuinely thought I'm just imagining the heart swelling chime because it feels nice but- but no Pim is actually hearing it too. Had the clients heard it as well? Is there someone tailing us behind waiting to play that chime when we'vedone our job? But no that can't be right cuz there's the constant decibel and tune and like we would have notice it and like no matter where we are, it's the same thing, as if it's not in the room for it to change its aural texture but instead like- like a sound bite overlayed on top of a show. I-I think I might actually puke from this, oh my God.

(SMILING FRIENDS IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT EXISTENTIALISM BWHAHAHAHA. The genuine distress they're under after becoming too self aware oml. It translates to what if 4D dimension exists and we are just tv show for them kind of bit. Also I kept the misspellings and missing words cuz it adds character and funny - the sequel.)

UNTEXTED VERSIONS UNDER CUT:

[sketch-twentytwo]

George Beard is the kid on the right with the tie and flat top….

————

And thus ends what I am lovingly calling the Office Visit Arc, or the "prologue"-esque comic to Redux Robotix! I'm going to try to tell this AU's version of events for the movie, but using a mix of book AND movie lore for it.

(The TV show isn't canon to me, I really didn't like it which is a shame because I really really wanted to!)

From here I’ll be skipping around the timeline to get to the more interesting bits! There’s some things I’m still keeping underwraps until we get there (like what comic the boys will work on, what will result at the Invention Convention, and where the titular Captain fits into all of this!), but stay tuned for more! I do have an arc written out for this five-panel comic format, but it comes a bit later.

ALSO, I've rectified Captain Underpants's existence to fit in the universe! An Event™ will occur and Benjamin Krupp's day will be ruined, rest assured!

That's all for now, thanks for reading!

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE IS THE BEST THING EVER…here is COLOR ANALYSIS…OF EPIC (spoilers)

obviously the whole movie is a metaphor for being whismy and silly at heart yet dookie is still funny AF

BUT…I haven’t seen anyone talk about the way colors are used, specifically outfits of the characters. Professor poopy pants whole outfit is made up of brown, yellow. he is LITTERLY Professor Pippy Diarrheastein Poopypants Esquire! And when he turns evil sick of his past he changes his outfit to signify his change

Blue is shown in this movie to show denial, loneliness and depression as seen in Mr krupps house with his dark grays and blues. Along with his very boring furniture scarring George and Harold. This detail could be also in the character design of Edith with her two deep blue eyes wich Mr Krupp falls in love with (beautiful)

Guys I seen this movie twice ITS SO GOOD

(This is for total giggles biigggg shoutout to snailzzzz go read her post https://www.tumblr.com/snailszzzz/751186682756366336/i-saw-the-tv-glow-is-officially-one-of-my-favorite)

CU-Clone AU fast facts

-When Krupp first meets Cap, it’s after he saved the school from a big threat. He’s grateful for that and all the other times he protected the school, so he is actually pretty friendly towards him. However, it doesn’t take long for him to notice that the two look similar. (And by similar, I mean exactly the same.)

-After the boys are forced to explain the situation, Krupp develops a bit of an “ugh, this guy” attitude towards Cap. This is partially due to the latter’s sunshine outlook, but also because he is embarrassed that it was himself running around in his undies.

-Cap doesn’t understand the situation fully, even after the boys explain it. He assumes that Krupp was willing to be a host for him before he got his own body in order to protect the students, so he sees him as a selfless, upstanding guy. (Whether his opinion changes on this or not is yet to be seen.)

-My Krupp isn’t as mean as canon. He does legitimately care about George and Harold (he gives them more chances than anyone else, after all) but he is still a grump with anger issues.

-My Cap still has issues with common sense/logic but he is more emotionally aware and empathetic than canon. The longer he spends as his own person (or at least, the closest he can be to his own person), the more he has human experiences, which lead to him experiencing a wider range of human emotions. This mostly helps him relate to his sidekicks a little better.

-While Krupp is straight, Cap is a bit of a special case when it comes to sexuality. When he shared a body with Krupp, he had a crush on whoever he did (*cough cough* Edith). As his own person, he is asexual and aromantic because romance wasn't really on his young creator's minds (and also so I don't have to deal with weird love triangle shenanigans).

-Having nowhere else to go, Cap lives in Krupp’s guest room for the time being.

-That being said, Cap will still hang out at the boys’ treehouse if they invite him. He just can’t stay all the time for obvious reasons.

-During more peaceful moments, Cap has to wear clothes. He isn’t happy about this, but Krupp does begrudgingly let him wear his default “outfit” while fighting crime.

-Krupp eventually gives Cap a job as a janitor at the school so he can always keep an eye on him. They tell the students and staff a story about them being relatives, but a few are smart enough to figure out the truth…

TV Adventure with the Octonauts

One day, the Octonauts decided to take a break from their underwater missions and have a fun day watching different TV shows. They gathered in the Octopod’s HQ, ready for a day of entertainment.

Characters:

Octonauts: Captain Barnacles, Kwazii, Peso, Tweak, Shellington, Dashi, and Professor Inkling

Shows:

Thunderbirds Are Go

Epic Tales of Captain Underpants (George and Harold)

Story:

Thunderbirds Are Go: As the Octonauts watched “Thunderbirds Are Go,” they were amazed by the incredible rescue missions and advanced technology of the Thunderbirds. Captain Barnacles admired Scott Tracy’s leadership, while Tweak was fascinated by the engineering marvels of Thunderbird 2. Kwazii, always up for an adventure, was inspired by the daring rescues and couldn’t wait to try some new stunts in the GUPs.

Epic Tales of Captain Underpants: Next, they switched to “Epic Tales of Captain Underpants,” featuring the hilarious adventures of George and Harold. Peso couldn’t stop laughing at the antics of Captain Underpants, while Shellington was intrigued by the creative storytelling and imaginative pranks. Dashi enjoyed the clever humor and the strong friendship between George and Harold, reminding her of the bond she shared with her fellow Octonauts.

Conclusion: After a day of watching their favorite shows, the Octonauts felt inspired and rejuvenated. They realized that even heroes need a break sometimes and that laughter and fun are just as important as bravery and teamwork. With new ideas and a renewed sense of camaraderie, they were ready to dive back into their underwater adventures, knowing that they could always count on each other, just like the characters in their favorite shows.

The End.
