Comfort Character Tag

Tagged by @random-dragon-exe. Thanks, friend!

This is really a game of "how much do I want to potentially embarrass myself on a public forum". The answer being, after careful consideration, that I don't care anymore.

Molly Tillerman (Central Park)

Luz Noceda (The Owl House)

Virgil (Sanders Sides)

Blake Belladonna (RWBY)

Mark Cohen (RENT)

As you can see, I tend to gravitate to characters who are creators in one way or another. Makes sense, I suppose, since I'm a writer myself.

Honorable mentions: Cecil Palmer, Pinky (Pinky and the Brain), Dolores Madrigal, Meg (Disney's Hercules), WV (Homestuck)

Can't say I have a lot of friends on here, but if you want: @amselrose @pines-troz @animationnut @whencartoonsruletheworld

Little sketches based on a Myth AU that @wimsiecal, @themurphyzone, and @pines-troz are involved in. In the AU, Pinky is Hades and Brain is Persephone. Seeing the art and headcanons that came out of their discussions was rather motivational, and so I went about putting pencil to paper (or, rather, pen to digital screen). This was quite fun to do. Was going to animate the flowers, but got lazy. Lol. My personal headcanon is that, when Brain is particularly emotional, his flowers turn to butterflies. However, since his love is unrequited, they always fly away, never to return.

Thanks for the inspiration, guys, including whomever came up with the original AU! :)

What are some of your favorite moments between Pinky and Brain? Anything from the small moments of banter to the more poignant scenes between the two.

I am obsessed with their small banter <3 I like those times where for some reason or other Brain just agrees with him? He’ll say “maybe later, Pinky” or “point taken..” or “Perhaps” and it will be about something really simple and dumb and I love that. And that one scene I mentioned before where Brain is calculating the cost of a plan and includes the cost of onion bagels for the ride and Pinky says “What, no cream cheese?” and Brain responds “Cream cheese, of course!” and immediately factors that in. That’s so cute. And when Pinky cooks for him and he’s just like “do you want food pellets or food pellets?” he’s literally just bringing him food pellets lol. But it’s nice. 

Also this scene in particular

I still think that’s so funny and precious. Of course we are seconds away from Brain yelling at him because he’s actually saying something dumb, but the way they’re vibing tho. 

And I like when they are Soft tm. That whole bit where Brain doesn’t want to admit he loves and prioritizes Pinky in the Halloween ep...but when Snowball starts running on the wheel he’s like “Hey! That’s Pinky’s wheel!” and pulls him off. Like he’s fully expecting Pinky to come back and people should definitely not be touching his things and he will make sure of this. I count that as a soft interaction even though Pinky isn’t even there for it lol. And there are times where Pinky just has nice things to say about him, and I think the best is he says something Brain said was funny and Brain responds “I am not without humor.” Pinky acknowledging Brain’s sense of humor and Brain accepting the compliment is v funny and nice to me. 

The Christmas scene is always everyone’s favorite and for good reason. It’s really the peak of them caring about each other. It is really interesting to see Brain violently reject an opportunity to take over the world because he realizes in that moment it made him act horribly towards the one person who cares about him, and under those circumstances he just doesn’t want it anymore. And it was so sweet to see that Pinky did everything in his power to give Brain the world, and in the event that he couldn’t, he still made sure he could in his own way, by gifting him a little globe keychain. It’s so good. 

Also, this scene from Operation Sealion

Where Pinky  is heartbroken and sobbing and Brain comforts him. It’s implied that Brain thinks Pinky’s big heart is his best trait a few times in the series. So even though he always has something snarky to say about Pinky’s interspecies romances, I think he takes Pinky’s heartache very seriously because he knows it genuinely hurts him, and he’s sympathetic towards that. It’s a really good moment of Hey, I know this is stupid to me, but I’m sorry you’re hurting. It’ll be okay. He goes so far as to rub his back and hold his hand and that’s so sweet. 

Idk, a lot of this is vague but I think the overall vibe that at the end of the day, aside from being cagemates and megalomaniacal mouse and his sidekick, they’re also friends who watch movies and eat bagels, is great and makes them fun characters to watch.

What are your top ten favorite Pinky and the Brain episodes?

Hey there! I’m sorry I took a while to answer your ask.

Top ten, huh...this was actually kind of hard. Note that I’m not listing these in order of most to least favorite I just listed them as they came to mind (:

1. Snowball

Okay well, pretty much all the Snowball episodes, but the first one especially. The flashback to them as lil babies is really one of the most heart-wrenching moments of the series for me. Poor Brain and Snowball were so traumatized. Also the way their relationship deteriorated from friends to arch-enemies is horribly sad - the only criticism I have is that the circumstances of this deterioration is very vaguely explained, but that’s what fanfiction is for, right?

2. Welcome To The Jungle 

This one, again, because of Snowball. Think it’s the first episode where we really start to see how mentally ill he is. Brain has this intense hatred of him but at the same time he seriously pities him. Also, Brain was just so out of character in this episode, I’m not saying that as a criticism, it was due to his surroundings. I found it really interesting to see him in an environment where he has no choice but to rely on others because he can’t do anything. Until he completely kicks Snowball’s ass in that fight towards the end lmaoooo. And Pinky...his superior survival instincts really threw me for a loop the first time I saw this episode. He managed to tie up and EAT(??) an entire boar, what even??

3. Brain Noir

There were some things I didn’t like about this episode (mainly Billie, although I liked the twist at the end which actually surprised me) but overall I still like it enough to put it in my top ten. I always liked the noir episode trope, so this was right up my alley. The little hats and trenchcoats were too cute! Also, Snowball.

4. Brainwashed

I’m just gonna count this as one big episode if that’s okay lol. Anyway there are many criticisms of this three-parter but I loved it. The Schmeerskahoven, Brain and Pinky having to save the world (not from Snowball for once). I really liked the twist with Precious at the end. Also, last appearance of Snowball. Unfortunately I think Roddy McDowall (Snowball’s voice actor) passed away a month after it aired. I wonder if he even got to see it, he was pretty sick with cancer. ):

5. A Pinky and the Brain Christmas

Because how could I NOT include this one...in a previous ask I said this was my favorite episode but my opinions have changed since then, I don’t have a single favorite episode I can’t pick just ONE. Ugh the feels. This episode is like...the main reason why the PatB fandom is called the crying mice fandom especially around Christmas. I went into more detail about what I liked about this episode here.

6. A Pinky and the Brain Halloween

AGAIN. THE FEELS. This episode made me cry the first few times I watched it, Pinky willingly signs himself over to Satan and goes to HELL so that Brain can have the world. AAAHH. Also I liked how they gave Brain a talent for rhythmic gymnastics, that’s cute. AND THEN WHEN BRAIN LOSES THE COMPETITION “HAVE FUN BEING TORTURED FOR ALL ETERNITY” AS HE’S SOBBING AND PINKY’S SOBBING AND HE’S WALKING AWAY JUST STAB ME IN THE HEART 

7. Megalomaniacs Anonymous

This one. I absolutely LOVE this episode. We get another dimension to Brain that we didn’t see in other episodes. I would show this episode to anyone hell-bent on calling Brain a villain - this is affirmation that he’s definitely an anti-hero. Brain’s motivations for taking over the world really are to make it a better place. Even though he has an inflated ego and can be extremely selfish (coughcoughAPINKYANDTHEBRAINHALLOWEENcough), and it is kind of all about him, underneath all his bad traits he has a very good heart. 

8. Brinky

Some people like Romy, some people don’t. I for one LOVE him, and I hope to see him in the reboot. This episode was just too adorable. There was a post somewhere on here that said Romy is just THE perfect blend of Pinky and Brain. It couldn’t be more true. Also, extremely cute fun fact - Maurice LaMarche voiced younger Romy and Rob Paulsen voices Romy as an adult, so they’re both credited for his role. It’s so fitting.

9. This Old Mouse

I like all the sad episodes, lol. Poor Brain and his mid-life crisis. It was really sad to see Pinky go all that way to warn him about the avalanche, just for Brain to tell him he can’t save him because the future can’t be changed. But Pinky wouldn’t take no for an answer, and saved him anyway thank goodness. Poor babies...

10. Broadway Malady

Brain was just...a massive dick in this episode, but granted it was because he was incredibly salty over Pinky’s musical becoming more successful than his. At least he realizes how awful he was to Pinky in the end. And in that one scene when he sees how lonely Pinky is despite the fact that his musical is a hit, because he doesn’t have Brain, and Brain just breaks down. You just can’t separate these two at all. ): Also, just...how it became less about the plan to take over the world, Brain put that on hold for the sake of his art. Priorities, lol.

Sometimes you just gotta make an arts... here's pinky wearing the dress (Disney's) Cinderella was planning on wearing to the ball. Inspired by this lovely au by @pines-troz .

[themurphyzone]

I find it hilarious how we’ve got @pines-troz‘s Cinderella AU where Brain is just a dorky Prince Charming, the BatB AU where Brain is absolutely not a Prince Charming, and then there’s @deez-art‘s Brainladdin AU where Brainladdin’s just begging to be let into the Prince’s Club cause he’s a poor gremlin like that

A little something done for my sweet friend @pines-troz as part of a Halloween exchange! Was also a perfect opportunity to tell her how much I appreciate the work that she does on the @poitcast. She does a great job, and I am honored to be her co-host!! <3

@pines-troz was sharing some pictures of vintage patb shirts and I think everyone needs to see this one in particular.

@pines-troz​   You say this as a joke but there were genuine hints of Pinky and the Brain being a couple in the 90s spin-off show.   They even raised a son together, a clone born of Brain’s experiment and Pinky’s toe nail clipping falling into the mix.  The son’s name was Romey (Short for Roman Numeral One.)
