#dr. Blackgaard

Just jumped into the 1000 Episode Fan Art link and grabbed Episode 334, The Final Conflict! I have a solid idea for The Final Conflict fanart entry, and I really hope FotF likes it! I grew up with some of the Odyssey cartoons, but it was the Blackgaard Chronicles that got me into the radio program and made me realize that the world AiO takes place in is much larger than the cartoons suggested. And in my opinion, The Blackgaard Chronicles is about hope and despair: Some of the characters are full of hope (Whit, Jack, Jason, etc), Eugene and Richard are somewhere in the middle given their experiences with forgiveness and redemption, and then there's the arc's namesake, who's full of despair (Blackgaard).

To me, Dr. Blackgaard in The Final Conflict is what you get when despair enters a morally broken soul. He wants eternal life, but without the Jesus part, because that would mean changing himself, and that bothers him more than he lets on. I want my piece to convey that brokenness, not enough to concern FotF and be denied, but just enough to show what despair looks like.

And yeah, I'm probably overthinking this arc to a degree, but whenever I hear Earl Boen's performance in the Final Conflict, the word 'despair' tends to come to mind.

Some more fanart of Adventures in Odyssey, of an intense moment in Book 1 of the Blackgaard Chronicles, called 'Opening Moves', in which local weasel Phillip Glossman realizes just how cut off he is from his old love, forever bound to his malicious benefactor...

"Don't ever think of running away from me, Phillip. I know where you live, and I know where Lizzy lives. I will always find you..."

...

The text is from a song that inspired this piece, Buy the Stars, by Marina and the Diamonds. I never thought one of their songs would remind me of Glossman, yet here we are!

I’m curious, did/do any of you Adventures in Odyssey fans have any Odyssey villain crushes?

as a child I had a voice crush on Philip Glossman and Dr. Blackgaard and Richard Maxwell

"Blackgaard's Placards"

My brother thought that up and I found it amusing. XD Dr. Blackgaard missed his true calling, methinks.

My beautiful Dr. Blackgaard’s exit aired today 💜🥺

I usually post art on my art blog, @artsyld but since it’s my 29th birthday, and I communicate with the AiO fandom more on this blog, than the others I run, I thought I’d post it here.

I’ve mostly been posting comfort art on my social medias today since I wanted to do something special for my birthday. Here’s some comfort art of Sasha the cat, Connie Kendall and Dr. Blackgaard from my favorite Adventures in Odyssey episode, Waylaid in the Windy City. Connie and Regis are two of my favorite characters from the program, and Waylaid is so exciting and intense! I love it so much!

Anyways, have a great day, everyone!
