I can't be the only one who ships Sleep (aka Remy) with Other Side Of The Pillow. Like excuse you? He doesn't even have a name? Have you seen him?! We're about to change that

His name is now Otto. He's hot. And you can do nothing about it

Regency:

With Aemma and one of the regents and Naerys as a member of the Small Council and whatever postion Rhaenys has (either also a member of the Small Council or "just" Leonyra's oficial Dragon Riding structor), it's a lot of women in oficial postions of power since Visenya and Rhaenys.

I can't think of a good name the Maesters would give this era before Leonyra's reign...The Regency of Women? Join it with Leonyra's reign and call it "When Women Ruled"? 🤔🤔

The Small Council would be:

HotQ: Otto Hightower

MoL: Naerys Arryn

MoShips: Corlys Velaryon

MoW: Lyonel Strong but being fed info by Mysaria or someone else either works

GM: Mellos

LC: Harrold Westerling

MoC: Lyman Beesbury

Rhaenys would be the official dragon lore instructor and do other things.

The Decade of Women? The New Movement? The Progression of Ladies? The Time for Queens?

I realized... I can put my concept art for Starlight Isles on here now! Very Fun!

This is old old concept art of Starlight Isles that I made to give everyone else a bouncing off point. Shitty MS Paint mist but I definitely wanted to emphasize a sparkly sky, and the dark grass. I like how it turned out in-game.

It eventually turned into me needing to draw a concept for the village, and I ended up getting really exciting ideas--

I REALLY wanted to push the 'flat rooftops' idea... how can someone run on the rooftops easily if the roofs are slanted?

This eventually lead to me drawing some characters for the area, leading to this old Pitbull I drew! I guess the writers fell in love with him.

And, yes, I created Beenard / Montgomery / Egg / Prince / Sparkle!

I was incredibly surprised they didn't change the names I gave during the concept art. I guess they are all perfect in their own way.

Heck, I even made a couple cakes that got put into the game!

I know I also did a lot of other spirratic pixel art, small things here and there that hadn't been done yet.

I could also go into... the three guys that were supposed to be watching Jeremy...

...wwwweellll... In reality, Ring, Otto, and Clockwork are from an entirely different universe. I have my own personal world with them and everything that's entirely all object-headed people. These alternate universe versions of them absolutely love living in the underground, though! Otherwise, that will have to be for another post.

Hope you enjoyed TS Underswap! If you haven't played yet, you totally should, we all worked really hard!

Time Squad Character Analysis #1: Buck Tuddrussel

Hi guys ^_^ I've been wanting to do a genuine, in-depth analysis on the TS main trio for a while, based on what we're told / shown canonically or by the writers. And since Tuddrussel is the face of the Time Squad, I felt it was only fitting to start by analyzing him.

Backstory

Although we never get any deep insight into Buck's backstory, the show sprinkled a few hints here and there that allow us to have a pretty darn good idea of what his life was before Otto and the Time Squad.

The first time Buck mentions anything about his past is in Freud, where he goes on a small ramble about his time at "The Academy".

While we don't know what this Academy is exactly, it's safe to assume that it sounds like some sort of school for wannabe Time Squad cops, training them in combat and whatnot. It also seems to feature some sort of mental health faculty / therapy evaluations. These sessions were possibly forced, too, because Buck's not the type to go to therapy on his own will.

The therapy guys absolutely hit the nail on the head, though. Buck has a lot of trouble managing his anger; he has a very short fuse and tends to choose violence as his first option when going on missions, causing more harm than good to everyone involved. Of course, Buck ignores all of this and reduces it to "junk" and "head-shrinkin' mumbo jumbo". Speaking of Freud, I couldn't forget his psychoanalysis at the end of the episode!

Freud describes Buck as having an "overactive superego, which causes [Bucks] to force [his] will on those around [him]". My knowledge on Freudian psychology isn't great, but, I mean, do you really think the writers took their time to properly research it either? Skimming through a few websites (I am NOT studying Freudian psychology for a 2000s Cartoon Network show), the superego is in charge of making us act "civil" based on what our parental figures teach us in early childhood. Therefore, according to the show, to have an overactive superego means to have a strict set of rules and behaviors perceived as "wrong" that the superego wants to achieve, to a point that it expects everyone to follow said rules. Very fitting for a cop! Though the rules he follows aren't the ones society expects.

Buck's time at The Academy is explored further in Out with the In Crowd and Feud for Thought, both episodes telling us one key detail:

Larry's fatphobia aside, we learn that Buck was overweight back then, and even went to fat camp. Feud also tells us he was in chemistry club, meaning Buck isn't all brawn with no brain.

I'm 99% sure the "glandular thing" is just an excuse Buck makes to "explain" why he was fat back in The Academy. We see multiple times in the show that he's obsessed with working out and staying in shape, although his eating habits aren't particularly healthy. This tells me he was probably laughed at for his weight, and quickly began working out to stop the constant bullying. His reactions in both episodes to comments on his weight (embarrassment in In Crowd and straight up cowering in fear in Feud) tell me that, while Buck likes painting himself as a tough guy with no fears, he is horrified of the past and being seen as a wimp.

We get more insight on Buck's past, and specifically his childhood, almost immediately after Freud. One episode later, in Big Al, he reminisces about his life back on Earth:

Tuddrussel is clearly proud of his Texan / Cowboy heritage (something I'm sure Larry is veery fond of... More on that in his analysis) and absolutely adores guns. He was taught how to handle them from a very young age (around 7 or 8) and seems to be continuing a long heritage of policemen.

(Not pictured: Buck's gun magazines in Larry Upgrade, his reaction to Larry doing a "few alterations" to his Demonitor (?) 800... the list goes on)

A bit off the canon record, but co-writer Carlos Ramos once said he imagines Buck's dad to have been a "hard ass".

It's only fitting for his personality, after all. Speaking of fathers...

Tudd as a Father Figure ....of our country(EXTREMELY LOUD WRONG BUZZER)

Buck is damn proud to be what is basically an adoptive dad. In Father Figure, we see him get furious at George "I'm a better father to Otto than you will ever be" Washington, even flaunting his victory when Otto chooses him over the guy.

Tuddrussel's relationship with Otto is weird. He is as much of a parental figure as he is a prankster, an immature sibling. Sometimes he teaches Otto things like riding a bike and fishing (although in non-productive ways... I wonder what that says about his own upbringing?), and other times he's a sore loser at video games and is generally a bad example for a developing kid. In many ways, Otto ends up having to teach him, using flashcards and infodumping history lessons.

There is another analysis that goes more in-depth into this, though, in my opinion, ends up theorizing a lot of things we never see nor are implied, but I recommend you read it here. What it does get absolutely right is that Buck is a deeply complex character, afraid to fully commit to being a parental figure and instead retreating to childish actions. Just like Sheila explains in Ex, "[H]e's a man totally at the mercy of his own fragile male ego, who hasn't progressed emotionally or intellectually since early childhood!"

Buck and Sheila

As we learn in Kubla, Buck and Sheila got a divorce an unknown amount of time ago, and while Sheila holds no resentment, Buck seems bothered by their separation. When Otto tries bringing up the topic at the end of the episode, Buck immediately shuts him down.

Buck gets upset when learning Sheila took back her maiden name, even calling Sheila "hun". It's clear that Tuddrussel is very much hung up on their divorce and somewhat misses Sheila, although he's mortified of the idea of remarrying, as shown in First Flight when Amelia Earhart suggests the idea of wedding him.

A bit later, in Peace Surprise and Ex, Buck and Sheila start getting along more as friends who have fun together, while understanding that they could never work as a couple.

Toxic Masculinity

It's clear that Buck suffers from a lot of toxic masculinity. He refuses to engage with anything mildly feminine (like the pink cake in Poe), he deems himself tough and strong, and no strong man needs therapy. In fact, he doesn't need any help with anything! He's not weak, he can't afford to show weakness, he's a brave man. This sort of thinking is what most likely caused his divorce with Sheila, a topic he doesn't like bringing up at all. What was that thing about repressing old memories?

Although... this shell ends up breaking a little in Hate and Let Hate when he tries out cooking and ends up really enjoying it. And not just any cooking, it's foo-foo cooking. As the show goes on, Buck starts learning that maybe it's okay to like girly stuff... Sometimes. Baby steps.

Buck and Larry

Oh boy. Larry and Buck's relationship is... something for sure.

First off, Buck absolutely despises Larry. He hates how feminine he is, how he's a coward, a wimp, a sissy. He semi-frequently threatens Larry with hurting him one way or another, and insults him like the manchild he is. But you know what other feeling Buck has for him? Fear. Tuddrussel is terrified of Cartoon Network's sassiest (excuse my french) gay-as-fuck robot, and hates him having any kind of power or agency over him. Once again there's already an analysis on this here, so check it out. All in all, Buck's fear translates to anger and violent tendencies.

As per any other kinds of feelings, it's hard to say. Buck sees Larry as a robot who's supposed to follow his orders, him being the officer of the Time Squad unit and all. Comparing his beliefs on robots as servants to Sheila and JT's beliefs of robots as partners, we can assume this sort of thinking is old-fashioned and doesn't really reflect how the futuristic world sees robot society. Buck can't stand Larry acting like a human person with feelings, aspirations and a complex set of emotions.

(Stealing screenshots from my old analysis TEEHEE)

In some part, he's right to be mad. Larry wasn't programmed in the subject of history and doesn't act the way other robots like XJ5 and Lance do, so he's not a great help when it comes to their job. Tudd at least tries to do his job, while Larry A.K.A. The Robot Able To Look Up Anything, is too stubborn to try.

But, despite everything, Larry is still his partner, his buddy. Buck may not show it too often, but deep down he cares for the guy.

Final Thoughts

Jesus Christ I didn't think I would write this much. And Tuddrussel's not even my favorite character!

I'd say Buck Tuddrussel is the character with the most growth in the entire show, and he really makes an effort towards being a better person. He may not be the brightest and it might take a while for him to learn his mistakes, but his determination to keep moving forward really goes to show how strong he is.

[leaf-kei]

Hello! Love your Time squad posts ! Canon wise: do you think Larry was in love with Tuddrussel? What about XJ5 being in love with Sheila idea ? I really love checking for canon evidences it is so fun

HI!!!! I AM SO SORRY it took me so long to answer you ;__; My bad... I wanted to wait until I could give this ask my Full attention (tbh I've had Team Fortress 2 brain worms for weeks and have been unable to focus on anything GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT).

I'm so glad you like my posts! ;w; In general, I don't think things need to be canon to be worth thinking about & exploring creatively... but buddy? Larry being in love with Tuddrussel? That is IN THE SHOW. I can't stress enough that this HAPPENS in Time Squad. I would venture to say Larry wanting a loving relationship with Tudd and Tudd not giving it to him is a reoccurring theme (along with history and slapstick comedy and. gender roles, weirdly??? tune in for THAT essay later lmao). You may have seen it already, but I compiled a bunch of my favorite TuddLarry moments in a video here! It also includes moments where Something Gay Happens On Screen no matter what characters are involved... I know it's all there for comedy, but for the most part, the gay jokes in TS don't feel like they come from a hateful place to me. Everyone gets made fun of equally in this show... it has that kind of mean-spirited early 2000s humor lol

My absolute favorite underrated TuddLarry canon moment of all time is in A Thrilla At Attila's. In Tudd's fantasy recollection of the mission, Otto and Larry look up to him as a great leader... it's VERY CUTE that Tudd's dream is to be genuinely admired by them 😭 BUT at one point, the fantasy Larry (who is inexplicably wearing a tutu) swoons over Tudd with little hearts over his head while Tudd is fighting some other guy?! THIS IS IN TUDD'S FANTASY HE WISHES THIS WOULD HAPPEN

U know what, I'm gonna take this opportunity to ramble about family commitment as a central theme of the show!!

- Otto is literally adopted by Tudd and Larry (Larry calls it adoption in Kubla Khan't), and Otto's addition to the squad forces their business-only relationship to change. Time Squad is (at least partly) about three very different characters navigating a new family dynamic formed by chance.

- They naturally fall into typical sitcom family roles: Tudd's the manchild fun dad, Larry's the homemaking strict mom, and Otto's the sweet kid who's trying to keep the peace... their personalities clash as they try to live and work and be happy together. It's significant that they're alone on the satellite they live on; with no one else from their own time period around them while they're at home, they're isolated with one another like a family unit in a suburban house. Even though they fight, they grow to love each other over time... what's that thing people say about hate and love being two sides of the same coin? I feel like Larry's love for Tudd manifests as anger a lot of the time—he gets upset whenever Tudd doesn't measure up to his ideal of a domestic partner. Is that healthy? Idk, probably not, but that's the way it is for them (at least in the two seasons that exist 👀).

- Of course, family commitments aren't always harmonious, and for these guys things are chaotic MOST of the time... but no matter what historical figures they meet or temptations they face, at the end of the day, they always come back together. They're a family, it's as simple as that. Otto doesn't need to have a logical reason to turn down George Washington's offer to adopt him in Father Figure of Our Country—no one can replace Tuddrussel, and that's it.

So tl;dr, Time Squad is about two men adopting a child and having a domestic committed relationship, and it uses that setup to tell funny stories and introduce fun conflict !?? And it's all in a cute art style AND there's HISTORY??? Cartoon Network should ABSOLUTELY bring it back and make a new season HEAR MY PLEA

—Of course, I think Tudd and Larry's relationship developing into a romantic (but still wacky) one would be a great setup for such a new season! But that's just my post-canon fantasy ;^) ... and what all my fanart and little writings are about lol

ANYWAYS HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Edit: SHIT I forgot to mention XJ5!! I ADORE the idea they have a crush on Sheila, that's my headcanon too!! BUT instead of being a jerk like Tudd is to Larry, Sheila is only ever considerate and nice and professional and friendly to XJ5 🤲 And XJ5 is so awkward with social situations (a real Robot's Robot) that they have no idea how to approach these feelings or how to articulate them at all... they could use a few lessons in human behavior from Larry hmmm?

[skeletinmoss]

I'd say it now I feel no remorse.

Last time I drew Remy I shipped him with the other side of the pillow, and Otto is kinda joining already existing couple so it's a threesome... Remy Otto Emile as I decided

But you know, fuck it. Let's give Remy a whole harem of hotties. I present to you the harem in order of joining. We have:

Otto

Bruce

Oscar

Noa ( He/They)

Maofeng. Mao for short

And Oliver

and i assume it's safe to say that we're th0ts slut bonding <3 over Aemond!! and this gets me thinking... what would Aemond's reaction be to his betrothed!reader/wife!reader (fem!reader) being an absolute schlutt to him and for him? always whispering in his ear her tho(ugh)ts of what she wants to do to him and what she'd like him to do to her, maybe even saying it aloud in front of others/when they've got company (Helaena, Aegon ii, Alicent, Otto, and Ser Criston Cole, maybe even Rhaenyra's children Jacaerys and Lucerys because all aren't fluent or don't understand/speak High–Valyrian at all) in High–Valryian since he's the only one who would understand it, or is always groping him (i know we've talked about ass play but i'm going to mention it anyway because it'd under this category...) by the arse, waist behind him, giving his crotch a squeeze or lingering touch or footsy–ing underneath the dining table or palming him directly in a public setting where he can't do anything at all... reader always being the first to slip her tongue in when kissing, introducing him to make–out sessions instead of small pecks and kisses which aren't *long* enough and when he wants to speed things up she goes "slow, easy rūs (baby)..." and takes lead 🤭

Oh my gosh Aemond would lose his mind if his betrothed does something like that!!! I’m thinking about a betrothed like Margery Tyrell who doesn’t shy away from whispering absolute filth in Aemond’s ear and tease him endlessly AAAAAAAAAA

He would be a gone man in a heartbeat because he isn’t used to pda but when she is rubbing his crotch from under the table with the tip of her foot and he just has to keep a straight face at the dinner?? HE WILL LOSE IT

Lady Hightower au:

Otto: I don't trust Naerys! I will not love her kids as to avoid giving her something to hold over my head.

Baby Cordelia: *grabs his finger and smiles the first times he holds her*

Otto: 🥺🥺🥺

Otto: I'm boo boo the fool 🤡

this is canon.

[fallsekings]

“You must have been charming.” [Barmaid banter for Otto XD] || @therapardalis​

                “I suppose so.” He responded with a small smile. He hadn’t considered himself to be charming, at least not in more recent years, but he had still managed to win Rosie over at one point by attempting and failing to understand TS Eliot. The man was even more complicated than advanced sciences to him... but it was what she had liked and it had impressed him! She had been radiantly brilliant. “Do you enjoy poetry?” He asked curiously, eyeing her over his sunglasses.
