Flashback Janie my beloved

Thanks to the Lydia x Peter Griffin fanfiction I'm currently making the pictures for and re-releasing on Wattpad, the Pepper Ann x Family Guy crossover universe is a officially a thing (it has been for a bit, but now announced onto my Tumblr page) and I'm going to give y'all reasons why I believe Family Guy takes place in the same universe as Pepper Ann:

Both shows take place on Rhode Island (although granted PA's location wasn't explicitly stated but people seem to agree Hazelnut, the location of the show, is in that state so yeah lmao).

Both are owned by Disney (FG is by Fox but everyone should know they're owned by Disney by now).

Both have dumbasses as protagonists (although Peter is a lot more stupid let's give it that lmao) and they also wear glasses.

P.A.'s voice actress was actually in an episode of Family Guy! She was in To Love and Die in Dixie as the one time character Sam (dang I wish she would appear again).

Both shows LOVE to make references to other well known media, though arguably almost every show in the 90s did that (and there are probably some who do this to this day) lmao.

Speaking of, they both premiered in the 90s and when FG premiered, PA was still airing new episodes, god damnit, that was a very good crossover opportunity missed! Shame on you, Disney! /j

PA's fantasy sequences could be akin to an average Family Guy cutaway gag depending on how you would look at it lol.

Both were animated by the same animation studio (although FG has moved on with a different one later on in its ongoing life).

And finally, both have very entertaining plots, being very silly while also giving a message for their audience in the end. They have been praised by their audiences for being a product of their time and are still fondly remembered to this day. (although with FG, that all kinda depends on what you think of it when including the modern, less well received seasons lol)

Yeah that's all I'll say. Thanks for hearing me out and I hope I have convinced you with all my pointers made lmao.

there are many songs sldkjfsdf BUT I do like giving Darra and Teldryn old rock songs! The kind you hear in dive bars sung very passionately by someone who is also very drunk. Bataqq gets songs that you hear dads play on long road trips and some highlights from the ESO soundtrack, and Elyas gets hip-hop and R&B songs from the 90′s to early 2000′s.

I’ll pop quite a few (many) here :] They’re mostly old hits so people will probably know a lot of these already, and they’re also curated to what I like soooo it might be a hit or miss

Darra has a whole playlist of drunk woman songs. These celebrate that she’s very flawed and has a lot of work to do, but she’s mostly content and making peace with herself. Some highlights:

Hand in my Pocket - Alanis Morisette I am the Fire - Halestorm Landslide - Fleetwood Mac What’s Up - 4 Non Blondes (very unironic) Halfway There - Soundgarden I would do anything for love (but I won’t do that) - Meatloaf Red Mountain Drinking Song (ESO soundtrack) Piece of my heart - Janis Joplin With a Little Help From My Friends - Joe Cocker (this version specifically) Whiskey ga osuki deshou? - Glim Spanky’s version (I want to include Ikari wo kure yo by Glim Spanky but the One Piece film has claimed it as its theme song sdfsdf)

For Teldryn, a collection of badass metal tunes and then some: 

H.T. - Tsuneo Imahori  Shoot to Thrill - AC/DC Trouble is Your Middle Name - Whitesnake Wanted: Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi Ramble On - Led Zeppelin Signs, High Times - Tedeschi Trucks Band Wolf Totem - The Hu Gasoline - Audioslave The Metal - Tenacious D (for some laughs)

There are a lot of songs that describe the progression of their relationship...

Do I Wanna Know - Arctic Monkeys Why’d you only call me when you’re high - Arctic Monkeys Call My Name - Prince How Deep is Your Love - Bee Gees Lover, You Should’ve Come Over - Jeff Buckley Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix It’s Probably Me - Sting and Eric Clapton Sunshine of your Love - Cream You’re My Best Friend - Queen Everlong - Foo Fighters Here’s to Us - Halestorm Slow na Boogie wo shitekure (I want you) - Glim Spanky’s version

Bataqq:

Back from the Dead - Halestorm (This could also be Darra’s!) Val Vijah Va Rhook, Baandari (ESO soundtrack) In the Shadow of Kaalgrontiid (from the ESO soundtrack) Father and Son - Yusuf Stevens Just the Two of Us - Will Smith Lean on Me - Bill Withers Walk - Foo Fighters Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd For Once in My Life - Stevie Wonder

(To be honest, the Fresh Prince of Balmora Elyas playlist is just a big collection of good old hip hop vibes for me to chill to while working late at night so I don’t think it’s very in character but I’ll drop some in here lmao)

No Scrubs - TLC (he’s the scrub) Gettin’ Jiggy With It - Will Smith So Fresh, So Clean - Outkast This is How We Do It - Montell Jordan No Diggity - Blackstreet U Can’t Touch This - MC Hammer Come Down - Anderson .paak

Got Character Theme Songs?

What’s your characters’ theme songs? What song describes them as a person or their story/aesthetic? 

I’ve been seeing people put songs with their characters and it’s helped me grasp the vibe for said character so well. I want to 1, find more songs and 2, learn about yall’s characters that I’ve most likely never seen before //eyes emoji

Also what other methods have helped you understand a character? Do moodboards actually help folks or are there other methods I haven’t seen yet?

Personally thinking of a few characters of mine, listening to The Eagle Has Landed by Avatar and it makes me think of a Tarnished that’s driven to become God-Lord, real eccentric overconfident self-absorbed but actually a talented menace type basically lol  just wait and I’ll make one to fit the song, I got a lineup of ideas waiting for visuals
