#showdown at the crooked d

[flowery-laser-blasts]

We were robbed of cowgirl Shego so here you go. Been listening nonstop to Ch!pz's - 'Cowboy' while making this. Special thanks to @creatorping for helping me figure out what to do with the outfit's color scheme. I was so indecisive, too many options.

[yoshimickster]

I'm just now realizing that Joss Possible is a pun on JUST Possible, DANGIT her whole thing makes so much sense now!

Also her intro episode was released on video first, ain't that wild!

[creatorping]

Alrighty Showdown at Crooked D EP:

You would think at least SOMEONE in that world’s greatest geniuses group would be suspicious of Drakken’s invitation. But apparently shego’s communication and manipulation skills are top notch.

Slim has the whole town on lockdown with his cyber horses and satellite camera system. He must be the big shot around there.

I’m a little concerned that Joss knows everything about Kim’s adventures, even what the villains did; what is she, another Wade???? I get that she’s young and idolizes her cousin but h o w does she know. Is there a detailed blog or news describing the whole story of Kim’s adventures? (Also crazy that Ron was nonexistent in Joss’s eyes despite her knowing rufus)

Happy that Joss found her style and slowly realizing her individuality as a Possible. Her flip and switch off with the horse scene definitely fits the Possible agenda.

Funny that Drakken didn’t invite James cause he considers the Possibles a pest, in a way that makes sense considering he’s the reason why the whole silly scheme went south.

[the-tropes-are-hungry]

what's your au about?

:D!!!

**IF** i can write it and not drop the story, then it's full title is "Estrangement of Lords" or Estrangement AU. Think "murder of crows" or "Parliament of owls" and ignore that the proper collective noun for a group of nobles is a court.

The basic premise is that the showdown with TOWW causes the Lamb to have a mental break, and they spare Narinder only to immediately imprison him. Narinder simultaneously "wakes up" from the last two thousand years as the Red Crown's host and realizes many things about himself, his siblings, his past, and his choices that make him go "my bad, actually." I would like Narilamb to happen, but it's going to be very messy and bad until they get their power dynamic sorted, leading tooooo Leshy, the actual MC of this story. He's just a worm, doing worm things, and those things include committing genocide, cultivating devotion for himself, and being killed by a little crooked-horned goat thing. He offers more perspective on Narinder's past behavior as well as lots of empty canvas for the metaphysics and divine questions the Mystic Seller hints at. "Do not mistake deep waters for still" was such a metal quote.

Worm boy is also significantly lighter on the heart than Lamb or Narinder, which is good for me because I can't handle 70k of solid angst and abuse anymore. I need an MC who can get in a fist fight with a squirrel and lose, but who was also once a god and king in his own right with his own emotions to process post-resurrection.

Kim and Ron's dynamic seems...off. They don't seem like they've been best friends for ten years, it'd make more sense if they had only recently become friends, like in middle school.

And I'm not just saying that because Kim can be mean and judgmental at times, especially towards Ron. I'm saying that because, despite being best friends for 10+ years and living next door to each other, they don't seem to know things about each other that actual long-term best friends would.

"Monkey Fist Strikes" - Ron is aware that Kim dislikes her cousin Larry, but never knew about the monthly family game nights that have been going on since she was three.

"Mind Games" - Kim had no idea that Ron's been getting bullied since kindergarten. This especially makes no sense as this is something Ron would've asked Kim for help with. It definitely should have come up at some point.

"Two to Tutor" - Kim is genuinely surprised that Ron is good at baking, even though he's been doing it since he was eight.

"Hidden Talent" - Ron is unaware that Kim can sing, or that she has trouble hitting the high notes. Bonnie was able to obtain a video of this event, but somehow Ron was still unaware of it before now.

"Showdown at The Crooked D" - Ron is unaware that Kim has an uncle and a cousin, even though Kim actually seemed excited to see Joss.

"Bad Boy" - Kim is completely unaware of the existence of Ron's evil cousin Shaun, despite this being another thing that would make sense for Ron to ask Kim's help with.

I understand that they need a way to explain stuff to the audience, but can you imagine being someone's best friend for ten years, living next door to them, and not knowing about their family and interests?

Would they really be your best friend if you two knew so little about each other?

Kim Possible Episode Tiers: The B-Tier

Don't overthink it. These are all pretty good episodes.

Pain King vs. Cleopatra: The introduction of Monique! I have a weird affection for this episode because I can distinctly remember watching it when it was released (and then playing the stupid flash game associated with it). One-off villain and meh plot makes it okay.

Number One: It's funny to know that Will was introduced as Ron's romantic rival. Obviously the show is much better for them not pursuing that storyline. This episode successfully introduces Duff and has one of my favorite lines of the series.

The Truth Hurts: The half-episodes are about laughs. I don't think this one does amazing at it (apart from the initial Drakken/Shego confrontation), but it's sort of a fun high concept episode that probably would have benefitted from a full length expansion.

The Big Job: The Jr. and Shego relationship is actually pretty fun and could have used a few more episodes. This one is highlighted by how good the fight while trying to park in San Francisco is.

Ron the Man: The introduction of the Pandimensional Vortex Inducer and Dementor is a bit of a drag, mostly because I'm not sure how poigniant this episode is anymore by analyzing Ron's masculinity. It may be dated, but there's a lot of good here (including Shego asking Drakken how many men he can handle in a fight).

Mentor of Our Discontent: I have previously expressed my love for Lucre, but this episode detracts from that. I want to describe it as "diluted" because there's too much stuff going on.

Downhill: I think this is a really solid episode and maybe the only one where the high school plotline outshines the spy plotline. I don't have any particular fondness for DNAmy as a villain, but the theme of recognizing your parents as actual people does hit true for me.

Sink or Swim: Good episode and the first instance of "Ron is actually valuable." MORE RON AND TARA.

Naked Genius: I think this marks the point where Shego's respect for Drakken begins to deteriorate. It's a good high concept episode and I love that Ron is successful at making some fashion of doomsday device.

October 31st: It's a solid episode, almost in spite of the "Kim lies to everyone" plot.

Job Unfair: Honestly, this might deserve to be higher. All of Shego and Drakken's weather machine manual talk is brilliant and Janitor Joe is a really likeable character. It's a real success at merging the A and B plots.

The Golden Years: Kim's nanna successfully completes the dance of going from annoying to awesome. It's also refreshing to see Drakken be such a proponent for the aged community. I also like the hint at his business sense from running the ice cream truck.

Motor Ed: Successful introduction of two good characters. It's a legitimately compelling problem that Kim doesn't know how to speak to someone that's paralyzed!

Showdown at the Crooked D: I enjoy that Shego takes interest in Drakken's high school bitterness. I could listen to Ron and Joss forever . . . it would be nicer if Joss liked Ron better.

Triple S: It's a very fun expansion of Senior's backstory.

Big Bother: I really enjoy the seemingly main story about Monkey Fist taking place in the background. I'm less into Kim being jealous of Yori and Ron hating his little sister.

The Cupid Effect: I am ignoring the real world implications of the existence of a "love ray." It's a fun Senior plot and I liked Ron giving Wade romantic advice (like, the dude landed Kim . . . he's doing something right).

Ill-Suited: I have nothing to say outside of Dementor attempting to convince Kim and Ron by wearing a house dress.

Grudge Match: There's a lot going on here with Zita, Larry, etc. It's just a decent episode.

Gorilla Fist: I think this is the first episode meant to make you realize that Kim is actually in on Ron. If I talked about it more, I could probably get sentimental enough to bump it up a few tiers (also the Monkey Fist/DNAmy plot line is hilarious).

All the News: Ron makes Kim suffer in high school and AdrenaLynn isn't the best villain. Should I have had this lower?

Jasmine Crockett named national co-chair of Harris-Walz campaign

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s rising star got another boost this week as she was named a national co-chair for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

The Dallas Democrat, who has enjoyed internet fame for her energetic confrontations with Republicans, anticipates a busy fall travel schedule as she rallies support across the nation for Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

“Any state that is a battleground state, I will be there,” Crockett said Thursday after a Dallas Regional Chamber congressional forum at the Hyatt Regency Dallas.

“I will be on the ground. I will be talking to organizers. I will also be talking to large crowds of just kind of everyday people.”

Crockett said she’s begun racking up frequent flier miles for the campaign, traveling directly from last week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago to Michigan, where she visited several cities. She said she’s also been to Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania for the campaign and was about to catch a flight to Los Angeles to headline fundraisers.

Serving as a national co-chair does not typically involve participating in the daily nuts and bolts of running a campaign. Rather, it identifies trusted surrogates who can speak on the candidate’s behalf and attack an opponent.

Crockett joins another Texas Democrat on the list of Harris-Walz co-chairs, U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso. Escobar carried over that role from the Biden-Harris campaign and served as the closing night co-chair of last week’s national convention.

Escobar has been a prominent voice pushing back on Republican criticism of Harris’ record on illegal immigration and border security.

In Crockett, the Harris campaign is getting a dynamic up-and-comer who has not hesitated to throw elbows at Republicans.

Crockett, 43, emerged as one of President Joe Biden’s fiercest defenders after his stumbling performance in the June debate with former President Donald Trump. After Biden bowed to mounting pressure and stepped aside as the nominee, Crockett quickly pivoted and embraced Harris’ candidacy.

Crockett was tapped for a high-profile speaking slot at last week’s convention, delivering a speech that combined affection for Harris with stinging barbs directed at Trump.

She went for viewers’ heartstrings as she recounted questioning her decision to go to Washington shortly after joining Congress last year.

“As I approached Vice President Harris for our official photo, she turned to me and asked, ‘What’s wrong?’ … She saw the distress. I immediately began crying,” Crockett said. “The most powerful woman in the world wiped my tears and listened.”

While Crockett cast Harris as a dedicated and caring public servant, she rhetorically savaged Trump as an entitled, crooked creature of inherited wealth.

“She’s lived the American dream, while he’s been America’s nightmare,” she said, adding, “Kamala Harris has a résumé, Donald Trump has a rap sheet.”

That kind of no-holds-barred rhetoric has helped Crockett make a name for herself as clips of her confronting Republicans in Capitol Hill committee hearings have spread on social media platforms.

The most viral was her May showdown with U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

The House Oversight Committee was considering whether to hold U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for withholding audio recordings of Biden’s conversations with special counsel Robert Hur.

The proceedings went off the rails after Greene told Crockett, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”

Democrats objected, but the panel’s Republican chairman, Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, ruled Greene did not violate rules against personal attacks.

Crockett posed a question to Comer.

“If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach-blond, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?” she said in an obvious reference to Greene.

The moment created an online firestorm that included a string of parody songs incorporating what Crockett quickly dubbed her “B6″ alliteration.

Her campaign filed an application to trademark the six-word phrase. She began raising campaign funds by selling branded merchandise featuring the phrase as part of a “Crockett Clapback Collection.”

Crockett served one term in the Texas House, representing a district that includes portions of southern, East and West Dallas. When the late former U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson announced her retirement, she endorsed Crockett as her successor.

Any particular headcanon’s on Joss, the kid we only saw in one episode?

you're probably not gonna get the answer you want, Snowflake Anon, but i've got stuff to say about Showdown at the Crooked D... drakgo thoughts incoming.

i love/hate that episode. i LOVE the drakgo content we get!!! their vibe in that episode is incredible, i mean...from the very beginning with shego trying to read his mail, drakken hiding it... she's so curious that she grabs it out of the fireplace. and then at the ranch, you've got shego mocking but not too much? just being patient with him as he screams incoherent syllables and gestures wildly and yanks on his hat... (i love that moment... i love him. pardon my fangirling.) really, despite her light mocking, she's all in on this plan, having a great time... and we get more drakken & james content... it's such a good time.

i will add just one more thing about the ep in general, in that i...am not a horse person. even less a mechanical horse person, so i absolutely cannot focus on the fight in that episode. makes it tough to watch since i love the ep otherwise.

as to joss... i'll say disney definitely borrowed from themselves when they made syndrome in the incredibles, LOL. joss strikes me as very mentally unhealthy... not just her fixation on kim, but the fact that she so easily switched fixations and seems to NEED something to fixate on... although i think her switching to ron was sort of a temporary bandage in the sitch, and that she still idolized kim and was still extremely hurt. yes it's very pre-teen to have a fixation, but when it's your whole life it's a problem... why is slim allowing her to do this?? where is her mother?? seems like joss is just left to herself...and at too young an age. i can see her going bad as some people in the fandom have headcanoned... how bad? i don't know, i've never thought about it for my own headcanon because...i tend not to think about the KP universe at large like others do. i'm very micro-focused on drakgo, and when i think about other characters it's because someone else introduced an idea. but if i were to think of something... just generally i see joss being unhappy in the future, unless something changes soon in her youth. if i tried to go deeper with it right now i'm afraid i'd just be using other people's thoughts about her that i enjoy.

as i said, probably not the answer you wanted, but there it is.

[camthewizard]

Shego: Why do you want to join some dorky club anyway?

Drakken: To prove I am brillianter than a lot of them!

Shego: Brillianter?

Drakken: Most smartest. Whatever. I’m a scientific genius not an inguist. 

Shego: Linguist. 

Drakken: Stop that!

It’s nice to see that Drakken’s sets reasonable expectations. He doesn’t want to prove he’s “brillianter” than all of them, just a lot of them. 

Also, I’m pretty sure this is like the third time Shego and Drakken have discussed grammar. I still remember the fish/fishes conversation well. 

[flowery-laser-blasts]

I'm sorry. I absolutely love the dude but that hat is so long I just... What is he hiding underneath there... His evil plans?? @miss-doodle-jester said booze. What if it's a chinchilla with an even pointier hat?

Mysteries that will never be answered (probably).

Showdown at the Crooked D

Last episode of S2 to watch. It was released with a home video release prior to its actual airdate in March 2005. Technically released during S3. 

It’s summer.

Ron’s marinating.

Lazy C Ranch, Kim’s uncle Slim, in Montana. 

Ron says that he’s “simpatico with lazy” I thought he was saying the Spanish word for nice for years until I looked up the word. It means “likable and easy to get along with.” It also appears in the movie Tangled.

Shego tosses bills away.

Shego steals Drakken’s letter and holds him back so she can look at it with her leg.

Linguist, not Englist.

“Boop boop boop. Stupid idea alert.”

Kim tells Ron that Slim’s ranch is a working ranch. 

Anne has to work a double shift at the hospital. Bummer.

Kim’s little cousin Joss is her biggest fan.

Joss lands in Kim’s arms. Aww.

Robot Horses.

Also Slim calls James ‘squirt’ and the twins ARE LOVING THIS. Slim, you’re probably like less than 10 years older than him.

Habaneros! Their Scoville scale thing is at 100,000–350,000 SHU.

Slim calls James a tinhorn.

Ramesh! 

Drakken’s dressed like a cowboy.

Slim describes a satellite as a ‘little bird’

Silly hats.

Drakken feels muy macho in his cowboy outfit.

Joss has basically watched the show.

Also apparently Kim and Ron had a big Groundhog’s Day adventure? Was Punxsutawney Phil involved? 

Ron and Rufus leave Kim and Joss and checks up on James.

James, Ron, and Rufus decide to gatecrash the Crooked D.

Kim hides from Joss in a bathroom. She talks to Wade and Joss overhears her saying some stuff about her and this upsets her.

“Hombre 1 to Drakken, we have varmints.” “We have what? Varmints? What is a varmint? Shego, here, you speak hombre.” “Give me that. Howdy, hombre. What in tarnation is a'goin' on? Looks like we got us some varmints.“ “WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?” CLASSIC.

Kim tells Joss that she’s just a regular person, she’s into cheerleading and boys, SOMETIMES. ACTUAL CANONICAL EVIDENCE KIM IS LGBT+. BISEXUAL KIM POSSIBLE! [slams fist on table]

Kim is just herself and that’s all she ever tries to be.

Slim calls Kim and they see Ron and James at the Crooked D.

Joss is like NOTHING EVER HAPPENS ROUND HERE and that’s why its awesome that Drakken and Shego are next door. Tho next door is probably like a mile or so away. 

“There’s a Possible Posse heading into town.”

We have four children and one adult. Kim, Joss, Jim, Tim, and Slim. On robot horsies. All wearing cowboy hats. 

“Let’s ride!” HELL YES.

SHEGO IS RIDING AN ACTUAL HORSE. AND FIGHTS KIM WHILE ON SAID HORSE.

Shego even tries to have to horse stomp on Kim. The horse misses.

The Possibles are captured.

James calls himself a Nosy Parker.

Robot horse saves the day.

Twins try to lasso Shego. She stops them. 

Kim’s “Oh no.” is great.

Shego causes a stampede of the silly hat wearing scientists and James runs out into it to remove that hates. Noice.

Now Joss is into Ron as her hero. 

“I can tell she’s a Possible. Smart as a whip this kid.”

Tonight’s spooky 🍬 “treat” 🍭 just for you is this fresh scan I did earlier of a canon Kim Possible comic called, “It Happened on Haunted Hill!” and it was released 18 years ago in a mailbox-only subscription magazine called, “Disney Adventures” on November 1, 2003!. The old highscool that Bonnie was referring to was likely the first highschool ever built in Middleton, Colorado during the historical “High School Movement” from 1910-1940. We get to see Kim and Ron’s previous Halloween from their Freshmen year in the Season 1 finale (“October 31st”), so I would imagine this would be their Sophomore Halloween. Yes, I said it. Season 1 = Freshmen yr, Season 2 = Sophomore yr, Season 3 = Junior yr, and Season 4 = Senior yr. Why?, let me explain. 

2002/2003 is Kim Possible’s Freshmen year during Season 1 and including up to the Season 2 episode 16 (“A Very Possible Christmas”) but not Season 2 episodes 13-15 (1st TV movie: “Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time”). Season 2 episodes 13-15 makes sense chronologically only if it takes place after the events of Season 2 episode 16 (“A Very Possible Christmas”) since the last episode featuring their Freshmen year is during the Christmas special, while afterward Season 2 episodes 13-15 takes place in the next school year because they start their first day of school for the next grade (Sophomore year) in the 1st TV movie, “Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time”.

2003/2004 is Kim Possible’s Sophomore year during Season 2 from the 1st TV movie (“Kim Possible: A Sitch in Time” ) all the way up to Season 3 episode 4 (“Bad Boy”) because of summer vacation in Joss’s next episode (“Showdown at the Crooked D”), thus their second school highschool year has ended.

2004/2005 is Kim Possible’s Junior year during Season 3 from episode 6 (“Dimension Twist”) all the way up to the Season 3 finale (2nd TV movie: “So the Drama”).

Also, in Season 2 episode 28 (“Ron Millionaire”), Ron gets a check with a date of October 1, 2003 with this episode taking place almost a year after the Season 2 episode 16 (“A Very Possible Christmas”) . Again, Sophomore year ends after Season 3 episode 4 (“Bad Boy”) because Season 3 episode 5 (“Showdown at the Crooked D”) shows their summer vacation, thus this signifies the end of their Sophomore year and them entering their Junior year. I know, in every episode intro from S1-S3 you may notice they mention Kim being a Sophomore, but I disagree with this as its illogical and I think it's just a goof, just like with the other goof in Season 3 episode 6 (“Dimension Twist”) when they incorrectly refer to Season 1 episode 20 (“Ron the Man”) as taking place a year ago, when in reality it was two years because at that point in time in Season 3 both Kim and Ron were already in their Junior year. Furthermore, in both Season 3 episode 11 (“Rappin’ Drakken”)  and Season 3 episode 13 (“Gorilla Fist”) when Kim and Ron are in Junior year at the time, Ron references two separate events of Season 2 taking place a year ago, thus implicitly referencing their previous Sophomore school year.

2005/2006 is Kim Possible’s Senior year in season 4. I also would like to mention that since both Kim and Ron get their DMV learner’s permits in Driver’s Ed (you have to be 14 yrs old to qualify) previously in that early Season 2 episode 5 (“Car Trouble”) as Freshmen with that year still being 2002, that thus logically both of them were actually born in 1988. Ron Stoppable’s birthday was revealed to be between August 23-September 22 because he mentioned his zodiac sign was Virgo in Season 2 episode 4 (“The Ron Factor”), so he and Kim would both end up being 17 when they graduated in May 2006 in the Season 4 finale (“Graduation pt1-2″).

Anyways👻, enjoy the comic!😈
