#my addition may not be as good but i just crave the disaster gay henchmen

[alinedreams]

i know it's your idea but i feel it would be awesome if we imagined the mysterious McG having a duo of bumbling henchmen who are heavily implied to be a gay couple but are never stated as such because of censorship laws but we both know they are because it's very obvious. also they're clearly inspired by team rocket.

pitch for a cartoon network show from like maybe the mid 2000s. it’s called North & North-West and it’s about two secret agents for an agency dedicated to the location and containment of Miscellaneous Containers of Generally Unknown Facts For Important New Stuff, or MCGUFFINS for short. some mcguffins are new/unique to the show while some are references to famous mcguffins in media the target audience shouldn’t have seen yet, for instance a suspiciously hitchcockian statuette or tarantinian briefcase. the protagonists are marguerite north, a suave james bond type who can talk them into any problem and out of most of them, and her sister-in-law kyleen north-west, a techy macgyver type who’s socially anxious but thrives in tight situations. marguerite has a running tension with their nemesis, the nefarious and nebulous McG, and kyleen is married to marguerite’s extremely normal brother jason. there’s very little running plot, but the first-season arc is about kyleen trying to keep her spy identity secret from her husband, only for it to be revealed that jason and marguerite are from a family of spies and he’s totally chill with all of it. in fact he’s been trying to keep his work a secret from all of them—he’s so scared they’ll react badly when he comes out as an optometrist
