Returning with more Venture Bros propaganda in the form of Dr. Henry Killinger and his magic murder bag, Brick Frog, and David Bowie. None of them play the roles that you would expect them to. Except Brick Frog. He's fairly straightforward.

Okay. Actually this is completely wrong
Rusty's misery isn't because he can't live up to his father. Maybe in season 1? But at the end of that season he gives up all hope of ever becoming like his dad and passes the torch on to his brother, Jonas. Which imo makes him a happier person... somewhat.
Rusty's ACTUAL misery is because nobody loves him and he loves no one. He's too self absorbed to love anyone (and the closest thing we ever get is his fan club president...), not just because he's a narcissist but also because the shit his father did to him in his childhood was incredibly damaging and he was never able to move past it.
In the episode "Assisted Suicide", we get a direct view of Rusty Venture's mind, and, to me clearly solidified the fact that Rusty Venture has alters due to childhood trauma.
We first meet "Id", who is portrayed as a narcissistic child. This is the Rusty we see in most of the show. He has a collection of women that have all fallen for him. Yes, Rusty Venture DOES get laid (many times actually?). However, this part of him only cares about women as "trophies".
Next, we see "Ego". This is an adult Rusty, but he's too preoccupied trying to fix his child self from all the shit that happened. Focused on looking at the past, unable to connect with anyone while in his spiral of misery. His problems are only momentarily solved when the "trophy" women are brought in. Yes, this part of Rusty is equally misogynistic, and only sees women as "mother" figures for himself. We see this Rusty when he is at his most vulnerable.
Finally, we meet "Superego", who had been locked up in mind-jail. When the crew meets him, he says that nobody has needed him for a while. Also, he looks like his dad. Ring a bell? YES! This is the Rusty we have only seen in season 1, the Rusty that WANTS to be like his dad, who's CONFIDENT.....and who's also the most evil bastard Rusty of them all. Immediately after the main cast sets him free, Rusty has one of his most morally dubious episodes ("What Color Is Your Cleansuit?"), the likes of which he hadn't had since Henry Killinger tried to make him a supervillain.
Anyway. Back to my original point. Nobody loves Rusty. Except women. And he is so misogynist that he might as well be gay. Or maybe he is genuinely gay, but no men like him? Still misogynist.
His sons also love him, but children are not able to provide love to their caretakers the same way a true friend could. Plus...well this could get long but tl;dr he is the shittest dad imaginable.
He pushes away people. His rare moments of vulnerability are met with awkward silence and avoidance. He's utterly and completely alone, due to forces on both sides--internal and external.

costume ideas that didn't make the cut for the fangame:
really struggled with Marcie's costume for some reason. ideas included Dr. Henry Killinger, (purely due to the mask design hence it being scrapped, couldn't actually think of a good joke,) the Boognish (good alt rock joke but did not work as an actual costume) and finally a dual costume with the Spook as The Money Store album cover.
Considered doing Pusman as Judge Holden but wasn't fond of the idea of just illustrating my concept of what the character would look like as someone else's costume. Enoch wound up being close enough visually, anyway, but I do feel "that which exists without saturated fat exists without my consent" is a missed joke opportunity admittedly.
also struggled with Handy & Mandy. thought about various identical/split characters before settling on salt and pepper- i liked the idea of them not going as any actual people or characters and just arbitrarily going towards "things that go together" and being the only people there who aren't dressed as an actual reference to something. Zorn & Thorn from FF9 were a close second choice though.
Tammy was the last character i really struggled to come up with a joke for because there were too many but also a lot of them felt like they didn't really fit her? Sadako, sure, but that would basically just be putting Tammy in a white dress and dribbling some black food coloring in her hair. The best gag would've been the Kaernk from Amnesia but that's uh, invisible. so no.
finally, I also considered having Blue as N. Senada, but i didn't want to go completely self indulgent with Residents stuff since I already ripped a sample for the background music.
FUCK I FUCKING FORGOT BABY BIRD FUUUUUUUUUUUCK LIKE BABY BIRD COULD'VE BEEN A UHHHHHHH IDK A DIFFERENT TYPE OF BIRD OR SOMETHING!

s2, ep10 i think it's really cute that monarch lets his henchies sit at the council table with him and important peoples since gf isn't there but also to be honest i think he lowkey just doesn't gaf and 21 + 24 are his most trusted day one duo but whatever - look at how heated these two are. like parents being introduced to the bad influence in their kid's life
Tumblr media
i also really like how monarch gives his henchies room to bitch at others sometimes. most other villains/bosses would keep them mute. this isn't the only time a henchie has had a comment and spoken without permission to someone monarch is dealing with (given, it's usually not them scowling at a person)
Tumblr media
or maybe 21 and 24 just get the priveledge bc they're the favorites who knows anyways, boyfriend 4 life
Tumblr media
"HE'S RIGHT!!!!!" backing up his BOYFRIEND
Tumblr media
"YEAH WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE????" they are very passionate about this lol
Tumblr media
AND HERE COMES THAT STRANGELY GAY BIT I WAS TALKING AB IN THE OTHER POST EARLIER "WITH HIS BABY BEARING HIPS" WHY WOULD HE SAY THIS??? WHY WAS HE PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT??? MY GOD.
Tumblr media
anyways, this is when we get our second gayest moment of the episode (there is more to come) honestly with me EVERY moment is a gay moment because have you SEEN the show??? lmaooo
Tumblr media
we also get a pretty good monarch face. he's usually not this insulted when someone makes a comment on a person he's kicking it with (at least to my memory)
Tumblr media
he's REALLY trying to fill in that dr gf void bad
Tumblr media
"NOBODY TALKS TO MY HOT NEW NUMBER TWO LIKE THAT!"
there was no reason to call henry hot. he's VERY all over henry so far into this ep which is strange bc usually he's like.. a bit more bitchy to whoever he's hanging out with? like henry showed up out of nowhere, monarch didn't question it, and immediately took him in. he wanted that man so bad it made him stupid.
Tumblr media
(。•́︿•̀。) gulp..
Tumblr media
!!!!! (O∆O) !!!!! really cute henchman faces in this episode, ik i already mentioned it, but whats the harm in saying it again? this is genuinely one of the better episodes in season 2. i love it.
Tumblr media
also, there is implied.. questionable.. "torture" from the monarch. which i like. a lot.
Tumblr media
" i'm gonna let you do number 993, because you.. seem to have bigger thumbs than me -" WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS???? THIS HAS TO BE BUTTHOLE STUFF I AM NOT CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
and a pretty cute monarch face lol (also peep the neck fats on killinger i think thats cutesy) "i'm not doing butthole stuff to the henchmen with you malcom let me just talk to the guy.. sheesh.."
Tumblr media
also this one so i can point out the size difference between OUR henchmen and KILLINGER'S henchmen.. woahg.. they could crush this little guy (positive) like i know split roast potential when i see it

Things I stole for my DnD campaign pt. 1 -
Dr. Henry Killinger
Tumblr media
I've been playing TTRPGs for quite some time and whenever I'm DMing I often use tropes, ideas and sometimes whole characters from other media I enjoy. Of course I always modify those things to fit neatly in my game world and make sure those things do not break immersion. 
One of the characters I almost wholesale stole from The Venture Bros. show is Dr. Henry Killinger. Powerful supernatural creature equipped with his signature Murder Bag. 
I decided that in my game world a good doctor will have demigod level powers and will be a creature born at the same time the first mortal sentient beings were created. He was not born, made or created. He and his 8 brothers just manifested as a cosmic force of the universe. Each of them represented a different aspect of the alignment chart. For Henry it was natural evil. In the game world he is known as The Consultant. He has a lot of knowledge and experience gathered over the eons of his existence but he is not all knowing. He uses that knowledge to consult promising mortals with capacity for evil. He trains them, helps them figure out more tedious parts of villainy and build long term plans and agendas. He is not interested in world domination or senseless murder. His favorite clients are small-time villains with small goals and aspirations. Warlords that are interested in conquering only one city state, necromancers whose only goal is immortality, dragons that are more interested in kidnapping princesses than anything else and so on. Additionally Killinger have his Murder Bag. Black leathery variant of bag of holding filled to the brim with hundreds of magical and cures items acquired through the years. 
In my campaign he started as an advisor to one of the Baldie. Very friendly and helpful orc NPC that thanks to players' help recently acquired a large chunk of land and abandoned castle. My players met him on his vision quest and helped with killing a deadly sentient hydra that was tormenting the local population of goblins. After the whole affair goblins chose Baldie as their new leader and king (he was only present greenskin in the party at the time). After a few weeks my player decided to visit Baldie and check out his new domain and there they first met Killinger. He sensed that Baldie has some capacity for villainy if he would be pushed in the right direction. Henry decided to become Baldie court advisor and helped him with stabilizing his power over goblins and bringing little bit of order to those chaotic creatures. Not too much of course. He did not want to push them towards lawfulness. 
During his first meeting with the party he was as always polite and cordial. Yet somehow his presence alone made everyone feel very uncomfortable. Over the next months of the campaign a new villain appeared. Truly BBEG.  The Thin White Duke - David Bowie (my next post will probably be about him, I also stole him from Venture Bros. Kinda. It is complicated). Over the course of a few next months people of Arcan-Tau (continent of the campaign) were faced with sheer uncering chaos that Duke brought to their homeland. Undead, mutated orcs, giant hornets with human faces, dominic cults and many more. All without the goal, just in name of sheer chaos. For shits and giggles as they say. My players as the heroic sort were at the front of brave souls battling this chaotic menace every way they go.

My players as the heroic sort were at the front of brave souls battling this chaotic menace every way they go. 
Henry started to appear to them during their travels. Often bringing advice or direction. And always asking for monetary payments in return. Slowly but shortly my players figured out that he does not like Bowie at all and coordinated a lot of events behind the scenes to ensure his defeat in the near future. You see, Kilinger was not fun of too much chaos going around. A little bit yes, of course everybody loves a little bit of chaos. But apocalyptic levels of chaos were way too much for him. You may ask: ��Why Killinger did not kill Bowie himself?”. He could not. You see he and all his brothers could not interfere in the mortal world too much. They could advise and guide mortals toward the desired path but direct interference was simply impossible to them. Their souls simply do not allow them to even think that way. They existed to guide sentient mortals. That's all.  And that's how uneasy alliance started between Dr. Henry Killinger (almost godlike avatar of neutral evil) and a group of heroic adventurers that found themselves in the middle of global level mess. 
Do any of you do that? Like still whole characters and modyfie them for your game world?

What’s your All or Nothing AU about? I’m pretty curious about it, IK it focuses on Dr. Venture (had hair LOL) and Dr. Orpheus. Srsly I am interested about it and its lore. 👀
I'm really gonna try hard to be brief here.
The basic gist is that after Season 2 Ep. 10 "I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills", Byron and Rusty start dating. Their relationship is rocky at first for various reason, like the fact that Rusty is kind of a terrible person and has a lot of internalized homophobia and Byron's unresolved trauma following his divorce along with his rather lawful personality clashing with Rusty's chaotic nature. They do fall in love, of course. I'm not in the business of writing a slowburn with this one. Dr. Henry Killinger showing up during Season 3 Ep. 2 "The Doctor Is Sin" is a major turning point for Rusty in the fic. Upon the revelation that Rusty is in love with Byron, Killinger switches from setting Rusty up as a supervillain to setting him up for superscience success. Ya know. Because Byron wouldn't like dating a villain. It's hard work, but by following Killinger's 'Action Plan', Rusty's able to go from literal joke to a superscience powerhouse. The fic is split into two parts. The first part is a pretty straightforward romance that goes over Rusty and Byron's relationship up to and a little ways after them getting married during the events of All This and Gargantua-2. The second part is more of an action-thriller that goes over Rusty's fight against... well... everybody. First it's just Guild, but after Rusty gets shot in the head during a protest in NYC, he declares war on the NYPD. Not like, actual gunfire and bullets war, but when you're a billionaire living in the USA, you can do a lot of shit that makes life difficult for people and Rusty is nothing if not petty. By sheer unbridled spite, he starts threatening to tip the balance of power that the OSI has carefully maintained so Hunter declares him too dangerous to live. Turns out, though, that it's incredibly hard to kill Rusty now since he has been training to not be hit and also is married to a dude who can bring people back from the dead. But while Hunter is concerned with Rusty taking over the world because he's too petty to stop and think, Rusty's concerned with something way beyond the scope of governments and Secret Governments. Aliens. Okay, okay, hang on, now - Aliens are canon to Venture Bros. In Season 2 Ep. 5 "20 Years To Midnight" we actually see two different aliens. One of them happens to be one I quote all the time with the wonderful line "IGNORE ME!" But like... if Jonas Sr was communicating with aliens to the point where 20 Years To Midnight happens and he maybe felt like the construction of Gargantua-1 was necessary (this is just me speculating) then why don't we see them again? (Probably because the series was cancelled i'm fiiineeee :'''3) but I think with both Rusty and Byron advancing their respective talents in leaps and bounds to the point where OSI considers them too dangerous to be left alone, then a threat from outside Earth makes perfect sense.
Plus, this way I can also write "Hyper-Competent 21, The Monarch, and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch Threesome" because The Monarch always steps up his game to match Rusty's EMA (Equally Matched Aggression Rating) and I love that also sooo But why does Rusty have hair? During the events of the fic, Rusty takes a look at the DNA sequences his dad left behind and realizes that his genome is fucked up. (This is canonically confirmed in Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, but is something that you can glean through other episodes/seasons.) In fic, he goes in and uses gene therapy to patch things up a bit which causes some minor physical changes.
Don't get me wrong, I also love canon Rusty. He's a pathetic lil meow meow, a totally wet lil bastard, and I love him. I have nothing wrong with his bald headed-ness, but this way you/I can see the progression of him in fic from Pathetic Bastard to Hyper-competent Alien Fighter depending on how much hair and which facial scars he has. Same thing with Byron and his scars and how pointy I draw his ears and teeth.
