Those working at Charactour.com (from where this comes from, look up Big Mouth there) should take another look at Andrew. He's visibly pudgy, so is he actually skinny-fat?

How Judd appeared in my dream cause I thought the yellow speedo was funny. (He later in the dream dressed normal)

When he was wearing the speedo though he was on like a space-ship background, but I was too bored to draw that.

I don't wanna believe that Lola dumped Jay at the last moment of the series finale when they walk into the Void. I think Lola wanted to fuck with him and catch him off-guard.

Speaking of the Void, is that it for everyone? They've all disappeared into sketches and disappeared entirely? Is it like the Void in the original finale of The Amazing World of Gumball (which, btw, gave me those kind of vibes)?

This is odd because what's with Nick wearing glasses?

Lulu's last name is Barfightkowitz?? Wtf is it with adult-animated shows and having bullshit made-up names? I know using the most common names is basic and boring, but there are names that are either rarely used or obscure. I hate seeing stupid names like Ugfuglio, Skumpy, Jayzarian, Ricflarian, I bet Bilzerian isn't a real surname (or even Glouberman), fucking Barfightkowitz.

Not even Millennials are immune to that. (Charlie) Dompler, Pim Pimling, for instance.

Pull up rare and obscure stuff. Think outside the box.

Jammin 95.5 reference in Fat Gun? That was the name of Portland, Oregon’s hip-hop/R&B station back in the ‘90s/‘00s before it moved to 107.5.

People like Moist Critikal, Mr. Enter, Spilling the Milk and Christian Diaz can go fuck themselves since they do not understand the show and never will. Critikal, at one point, had the absolute gall to say "if you watch this, then you need an intervention". No, what you need is to stfu before you're gonna get snuffed.

I HATE how much people shit on big mouth,, because people say it's "cp" or something when that's NOT true whatsoever. Big mouth teaches about puberty and growing up in a comedy fashion. Big mouth is for teens to know that their not alone during their journey through puberty, big mouth has helped me understand my feelings and made me understand that I'm not a freak,, If you call big mouth cp honestly just block me. Idgaf.

Thank you @skinnypaleangryperson and everyone who got me to 25 reblogs!

I'm the Meg of my so-called "family". If I wasn't autistic, I'd probably wouldn't be.

does anyone else feel like the Meg Griffin of their family? Having to suffer being the first kid of completely dysfunctional, emotionally unavailable, mentally ill parents? Not being attractive enough to have someone rescue them from the shit life they have?

Fuck it, I'm headcanoning meg griffin. Using the bits of canon pieces from family guy, but keep in mind that the lore is not consistent at all.

- she's an internet kid, she grew up on it. Maybe when the show started it was as a "phone addicted teenage girl" stereotype, but now it seems like the internet is her escape from the shitty life she has. She can have "more chances" when people can't judge her for how she looks first.

- she's not ugly, or hideous. She's a teenage kid going through puberty through the show who clearly has to figure everything out for herself because her mom won't teach her, and judges her about it when meg dares asking (something something about how Lois told meg "I never had that, and no woman that I know ever had that" something like that...)

Besides Lois never bothering to teach meg and help her discover her style, femininity, puberty, hygiene... She also can't look trendy with new clothes and a popular fashion sense because her dad is a blue neck collar who rather spend his little sum of money on beer, and her mom is trying to be independent from her own rich father, who doesn't seem that close to meg to actually care about her and spoil her.

She's not ugly, she's not hideous. She canonically looks like Lois and just has a tough time figuring everything out for herself when her resources are clearly limited and her knowledge probably comes from the internet only

- I said she grew up on the internet, where she probably socialized more, and since she's been shown to be an extremist from BOTH side, knows Russian, been on the dark web, and likes ponies, I think she's been to 4chan. Like c'mon, that was one of her weird kid stops.

- she's mentally ill, and I can see it being blamed on her parents even more than the bullying of her peers, which probably just broke her completely: I'm not going to begin analyzing Lois and Peter, this ain't about them, but they're clearly mentally ill who come from harsh childhoods that shaped them this way, and Meg either inherited her share or got it as a result of being a literal punch bug for the family. I don't even have to talk about how meg has been treated by them.

She had rough patches. Depression, anxiety, even post trauma. I know I'm getting kind of serious here but I just feel for her and it makes so much sense. The bullying, the feeling of never belonging, never being someone's special one, not her romantically, sexually or platonically, being chronically online, it didn't help what was already messed up from her childhood. She smoked weed in the show, and self harmed, and I think she would use substances and SH as coping mechanisms. Developed an ED maybe, she would hate skinnytok.

But she is recovering and probably internalized her various traumas rather than externalize them. She did, a couple of times - the storm episode, meg goes to prison, etc etc, her various shenanigans where she's shown not caring about her family and emotionally distancing from them, but ultimately her parents borderline sociopathy helped her become a sensitive, protective, loyal and good person overall, who just strives to be loved.

- besides the family, and mostly her siblings and sometimes Brian who occasionally show sympathy and love towards her, I think Quagmire and Joe were good influences and borderline father figures for her.

- NOW HOLD ON, I KNOW QUAGMIRE HIT ON HER. yes, he's a rapist maniac who has no respect towards women, but after he got with meg for that one episode and the occasional sexual jokes she was featured in, he has shown care towards her. He got her a job, he teached her to defend herself against bullying, he was a person she went to when she needed help and they both have mutual respect and care for each other in recent seasons. I think it was a good choice by the writing team. And Joe has shown to care about her. Not to mention he knows what it's like being the black sheep who no one cares about. Not to mention quagmire has been shown to care for his kids when he occasionally adopts one of them.

So yeah, they were both positive influences on her. Maybe not too much, but compared to peter? They RAISED her. They were there for her.

- In later seasons it seems like her relationship with the family and her life changed. They stopped picking on her and Meg became this weird character doing her stuff in the background and sometimes flexing on her family while still being nice and good matured to them. I feel like it's the result of internalizing trauma and "forgiving", by emotionally distancing herself from everyone in her family but still being affectionate and kind to them, willing to do things for them. And you can't tell me it's not true after the storm episode. She gave up on the justice she deserved because she didn't want to break the family. Also, it's not like they actually listened and were willing to change. Peter laughed at her face and acted petty on purpose and I'm sure Lois wasn't going to suddenly change as the enabler for her husband.

- what I'm getting at is, that I think meg grew more confident with herself as she grew (she's 18 now, driving, drinking, having jobs, going to college...) she had a lot of trial and errors, her dysfunctional family forced her to mature early and being chronically online and trying to fit in at all costs caused her to be exposed to adult stuff early. Ugh, she's just like me.

- anyway, what I'm getting at, again, is that she learned to accept her situation and her family. She might be bitter about how her siblings are being treated better than her - don't get me wrong they suffer too but Stewie is a baby, and being the first child means suffering as your parents learn. And she was the black sheep of the family,

She might be bitter about how her dad hates her, beat on her, can't provide for her and is an infantile man child (yes, both child and infantile),

She might be bitter about how her mom emotionally abandoned her, never helped her fit in, competed against her, and enabled her father,

She might be bitter about how the dog does not give a fuck about her and is being treated like more of a family member than her despite him a grown adult asshole who never made something of himself and was never there for her except rare time where he and Stewie help her,

But she learned to accept the role and just matured. She is going to move out, she tried to do it many episodes, and ultimately I think she would "leave the family behind" to make something of herself that will be meaningful to her. She will still come and visit, and talk with them, but she emotionally will leave them in the past too. I don't think she will forget the treatment she received. But she won't let her family control her anymore.

I don't think family guy started to write her well, I don't think they really care about her more than they used to, but their various inconsistent bits kind of build a personality and a reasonable outcome of someone who feels like life's black sheep, despite being a clever, skilled, funny, loving and accepting person

Maybe she's not as iconic, maybe she doesn't stand out too much, maybe she doesn't have her niche aside from being picked on, but when you look at her character you see someone who might actually make it out of this dysfunctional family with their sanity intact and emotional intelligence and empathy that none of the griffins can truly reach. Holy fucking shit, meg is the family guy.

The true family guy was Meg Griffin all along.

Two suicide threats in the recent Pixar shorts video. I'm fucking out of here. Wtf will it take for Zoomers to stop being fucked up?? Seriously, when will this shit ever end?

It seems like every African-American either has Nigerian ancestry or has family in Atlanta or both (in Missy's case). I wouldn't be surprised if one of those apply to me. One of these days, I'm gonna take an ancestry test--something that isn't 23andMe. Also, nearly everything is always about Atlanta because it has taken over the music/film/TV industry for the past 20+ years and I am tired of hearing about ATL just as I'm tired of hearing about NY.

I imagined Jason Mantzoukas as Eddy from EEnE because both he and Tony Sampson have similarly gravelly voices that grow higher in pitch whenever they yell. When Jay Bilzerian cried, it took me back to Eddy's similar-sounding crying in Big Picture Show. Now it's making me think of an EEnE revival spearheaded by Nick Kroll--with him as Ed, John Mulaney as Edd and Mantzoukas as Eddy.

I find it very disingenuous to make DeVon flat-out disappear from the show after spending a couple of seasons in the background because of Jak Knight's suicide. I mean, I was expecting an episode featuring DeVon's funeral and whatever cause of death explained, and Devin grieving.

But all we get is Missy solemnly saying she misses him in the series finale, with absolutely no mention of him and his off-screen passing.
