Reading the ROTT script

-Is the recapitulation needed? They should have used those minutes to show us a proper ending.

-Unremarkable? Jim? How many teenagers you know that cook like a professional chef, can clean the whole house and make sure their mother has at least a proper meal while being so sweet?

-Jim knows it's not easy to be the Trollhunter/first human Trollhunter, why ditch everything for Toby? His best friend?

-It really hurts that, at this point, Jim doesn't consider Steve nor Eli as friends. Eli has always thought you're nice and Steve has grown a lot. They made the Creepslayerz look bad and laughable.

-Calling the Arcane Order "wizards" after having a whole season called the same doesn't sound good at all.

-Bellroc calling Nari "naughty girl". Yikes.

-Waiting until the mission to request a new codename.

-They have time to build a magic nullifier but no one thinks about giving Jim some protection. Toby created a home-made armor in season one in a few minutes. I'm not saying I'd like to see Jim fighting with a pot on his head, but... I'd prefer that.

-(Toby makes the situation a billion times worse) Writers: That's your new Trollhunter.

-The magic nullifier sounds like an actual Deux ex machina.

-Bellroc making Jim face his insecurities because villains like to do that.

-Yes, Steve. Whose idea was letting Jim go without any protection?

-What are the charges? What are they arrested for? Hijacking a train? Destroying it? Doing magic in front of muggles?

-Nari is Mokey Fraggle now. Or season 1 Phoebe. Everything is beautiful and perfect. Nature rules.

-Toby has made the situation a billion times worse, spilled the beans and now he's the only one who's hungry because "fat character is always eating". Writers: Your new Trollhunter.

-"... when he was just lucky enough to find a magic amulet." You were CHOSEN!

-Strickler saying Jim should stay at the back when he only needs a suit of armor and it's good to go.

-"We live to fight another day." If you're going to keep on fighting, I don't know, get an armor!

-Nomura stealing Merlin and Morgana's lines.

-Aja coming back from Akiridion-5 with no reason whatsoever.

-There has been a lot of comments on the mpreg subplot and I agree with them all. Enough said.

-Toby may be glad to be there to see that, but he ends up not seeing it.

-Blinky is now able to read the Grimoire without problem when it’s actually written in ancient draconic and only Charlemagne can read it.

-Making the Earth reborn sounds like starting again. Like... that end.

-Also, dear Blinky, that list equals destroying Earth no matter if you’re a human, Troll or vampire. 

-Arcadia can be important, by accident or not. But the center of the universe? Jeez, you’re not that important.

-Only needing Nari’s presence, not commitment, sounds soo bad.

-You know, I hate prophecies as much as any writer... yeah, that’s all.

-”Jim, you must know.” Jim during all the series: ¿?

-If the Amulet was built from Merlin’s blueprints, and “rebuilt”... why is so different? Yeah, I get you wanted to make your own twist to it but if ain’t broken don’t fix it. It looked way cooler and better before.

-”And a piece of Heartstone from our homeworld.” Hearstone=Trolls. Homeworld=Akiridion-5. Akiridion-5=Aliens. Alien Trolls? The heck?!

-Does Claire need a personal connection to somebody to be their emotional anchor? She didn’t know Nari at all, unless that happened in the year they skipped. 

-And then, while everybody is searching for Nari to save her life... Toby gets excited to find a penny. Sigh.  Writers: Your new Trollhunter.

-You have a literal Queen back there. A Master Wizard. And yet you ask Jim what to do. 

-He is watching... the Fortune Wheel... in a base... in Greenland. Fun fact: the host in the Spanish version has Strickler vibes. He’s better looking, though.

-Well, now the world knows. Where are the missiles, guys? 

-”No, the question is why do pickles taste so good with ice cream?!” No, Steve, the question is why a character with so much development as you is relegated to a creepy subplot that is feeding of cliches about pregnant women.

-”TrollDragons? Sounds made-up.” LOL, at least whoever wrote that was self-aware.

-If you need a Trollhunter, just go to the Void again. 

-Okay, that discussion is so painful. It’s the only way, Blinky? You went through several plans to save Jim from the Darklands and now you stuck with finding an object in less than 18 hours? 

-The OLD Amulet was from Merlin, Morgana AND Douxie. That new Amulet has almost nothing from the old one inside. 

-You know, not all the stones have to be magical. That can be just one decorative stone.

-Not buying that Blinky was like: “Tobias, your strengths are unparallel... in badness. Which team would suffer less with you in it?”. Not after what they’ve been through. No, no, no.

-”The lamest of superpowers.” Rolls eyes so hard they get stuck.

-The one that screams a lot is Steve. Not Blinky.

-You know, it’d have been nice to know that TrollDragons don’t like magic. And their lair is ONLY resistant to SHADOW magic? Yep, Jim told Claire to go get the Kronisphere, but plans can change. 

- You’ve had your own expressions during the series but no, now you say “holy frijole” because... you have Mexican blood. BTW, can you say “frijole” and not “frijoles”?

-What the heck I’ve just read? “Angels and ministers of grace?” I really hope this is not a real line.

-You know, why don’t take Charlemagne, a real dragon, to fight the Ice Titan? No explosives needed. And not lame death for Strickler either. 

-”I once tried to kill you.” No, you didn’t. You were only trying to protect him.

-”That you never give up. That you see things through.” coff, coff, Unbecoming.

-No, you’ve never wondered. Well, maybe the first year. Not anymore. 

-Damn it, Toby, stop ruining moments! 

-”I shall wear your armor as an amulet.” “Gross.” Well, if you’re still inside, maybe.

-”Mistress Claire”? We don’t even got to see how she became a Mistress sorceress?!

-”Demon”? Why “demon”? 

-Eli is a detective, a cosplayer, a theory master. Not the kind of guy who would design an entire robot. Krel, on the other hand...

-I mean, even Trollmarket had some other exits and connections to the sewers. Are you really telling me the market in China doesn’t have them? Or even a gyre? China is really big, they need gyres.

-Did Blinky actually say he doesn’t read his horoscopes? Because I highly doubt he even knows his birthday.

-Stop saying that, Toby. Is that foreshadowing? Bad foreshadowing?

-”TrollDragons bad. Charlemagne should take their kingdom and be a ruthless ruler.” “Wasn’t just Zong-Shi the bad one?” “Nah, I’m a dragon who likes to read and a calm life, let’s conquer this market!”

-Time is a flower. Don’t try to Jeremy Beremy TOA.

-”Is this place safe?” “Have you never been in a natural park? No, they have bears. But that’s better than what we have back in Arcadia.”

-”If only one succeeds...” What’s with the: “oh, no, they need the three, no, actually no” nonsense?

-Blinky has read a lot of books. Some of them moldy. Some of them with stuck pages. But now he skips a crucial one. Man, this script is rushed.

-”They have to unite with the Hearstone.” WHY? Why that dead Hearstone? There’s more! You have a great one in, I don’t know, New Jersey!

-So Arcadia’s Heartstone is so cool it has the power to attract creatures. Because of course there’s no other place with Trolls and wizards in the entire world. Unless there was another primordial Heartstone in Camelot, but then they were all destroyed? Pretty convenient... and a headache.

-”Replace the Amulet’s stone with Merlin’s.” That’s not Merlin’s, that’s Nimue’s.

-”I can’t get to the top of the rope in gym.” Yes, you can. You did it while running from the Antramonstrum.

-”Aeternum?” “Eternal?” What kind of eternal spell have you done, Douxie?

-”Why does this always happen to me? “ It has-literally-never-happened-to you.

-”Besides, Bellroc’s magic is too strong. “ For what? For making a portal just in front or under them?

-”You have a few seconds. Go home.” “Just stop talking and kill me here.”

-”And yet you still think yourself a hero?” 

“For a true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.” — Zeus

So shut up, Bellroc.

-Steve called one of his babies Faja. In Spain, that’s an underwear the old women use that covers your stomach. It’s also a kind of medical corset, but... also Maja (”kind” in Spanish) and Baja (”short”) and Taja (”it cuts”).

-”Here, take this. Use this.” “But Jim, it was never stablished in canon that the Amulet helps you heal faster.”

-I’ve already talked about Claire’s last phrase and how wrong it is. Check it out. 

-There were never racoons, Jimbo.

-So Jim’s alarm clock was set at 8 o’clock, two hours later than in the real timeline. He really needed two ours to clean the house, have some breakfast and do a meatloaf from scratch. How was he supposed to do it if he should already be at school?

-”Have at it, Romeo.” You don’t even know him, girl.

-Strickler is a bad guy. He only knows he likes Jim for some reason. Now the kid goes and says he wants to introduce his mom to him. I... have no words.

-And then, we were doomed.

“...for to know your future is to risk dooming it.” — Kanjigar

In honour of Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock season 2 dropping later this month (I believe its dropping on the 26th or the 29th??) it's time to reveal my Fraggle Rock OC!!

Boober is my favourite from the main five, so of course I decided to make them related! Phoebe is...well, she's everything that Boober isn't! She's bright, chipper, social and optimistic! She's an exceptionally good rock climber (and worrying Boober in the process) and loves insects of all sorts, flutterflies being her favourite! With how different her and Boober are they can but heads and argue a lot, but they do have their similarities: both love cooking, though Phoebe is still learning, and just like her brother Phoebe has a particular distaste for certain odours

Still being a kid Phoebe is restricted to exploring Fraggle Rock, she's never seen the Gorgs garden before, but is fascinated by 'outer space'. Though still being a kid, and Boober's worrying, she's often left out on the adventures the main five have, much to her annoyance.

One day she does venture out from Fraggle Rock and becomes friends with Lottie, whom she then later travels the world with to help Lottie with her self discovery journey. I like to imagine when Phoebe is older, she becomes a professional rock climber in Fraggle Rock, helping give lessons to younger Fraggles and even helping the doozers with their construction work from time to time!

(I imagine Phoebe to be around 6-10, that was the age range I had in mind when drawing her)

[palettepainter]

Art is not arting today so I'm gonna dump an idea I had for older Lottie

So I've been throwing around ideas for what Lottie and Caleb do when they're older. Caleb would either follow in his parents footsteps and become a rock musician, or become a music teacher, maybe both - but for Lottie I didn't have many ideas. I had the joking idea that she could look up to Miss Piggy (Floyd's arch nemesis) and becomes a model, but after a while I lost interest in that idea. I still think Lottie would idolise Piggy just cuz she's famous and glamorous, but Lottie still has a deep love for music which she got from her parents so I doubt she'd jump into an entirely different career

I thought that perhaps when Lottie gets older, like young adult years, she still has no idea what she wants to be. She confines in Phoebe about her worries who sympathizes with her, even agreeing with her at parts, before Lottie speaks with Caleb. Caleb probably makes some wise comment about how the world is a big place and Lottie has forever to figure herself out. The next day Lottie has some grand revelation and decides to go on a world trip, to take a break from music and such and just go out and see the world, in hopes the trip will help her learn who she wants to be

Her parents are a teenie bit hesitant at first to let Lottie go off alone into the big world, so Lottie excitedly asks Phoebe if she wants to go with her, and the two turn it into a BFF's world trip

Lottie of course sends her family postcards and calls as often as she can when she's on the road, but doesn't return home to see everybody until years later. I can picture her with a huge ponytail of hair, sporting a red jacket or some sort and shades (her fashion sense takes more after Floyd as she gets older), and by that point she's probably become a pro on the bass and model

[palettepainter]

So I recently binged the entire og series of Fraggle Rock (side note it's awesome Boober is my spirit animal) and then binged the entire remaster, Back to the Rock (second sidenote, Boober is now my spirit Animal even more, The Glow episode was awesome). Even before I watched the series I wanted to make a Fraggle OC for fun, and now that I've watched through both series I think I got a fun idea in mind! Doodles aren't quite finished with this OC but I wanted to share it and maybe get some thoughts/other ideas for it:

Playing into my love for opposites interacting in any dynamic, what if Boober had a younger, energetic little sister/cousin?

They're the total opposite to him: merry, bouncy, energetic, care free, loves exploring and climbing up rocks she shouldn't be climbing on. This is turn causes Boober to stress non-stop when he has to watch her for a day, or worse, if she someone ends up getting roped into whatever scenario he and the other main Fraggles have gotten themselves into. She and Boober but heads, mostly over cleanliness (since my OC tends to get dirty from all the exploring she does), but they still have that sibling like care for each other if the other is sad or hurting

I also want them to eventually become friends with Lottie. I've had a story in my head where my OC (I'm thinking of calling them Phoebe (feebee) Fraggle) has been trying to hang out with Boober all day, but unintentionally keeps messing things up for him. Eventually it ends with her accidentally ruining his laundry, or knocking over his soup, but Boober gets angry and Phoebe leaves with a huff. She ends up accidentally going to 'outer space' (the human world) and she ends up inside the shack from Muppets Mayhem, where she finds Lottie. Hilarity ensues with the two hanging out before Phoebe has to return to the Rock, where the Fraggle five have all been looking for her.

The story would end with Lottie and Phoebe telling their families about the new friend they made, but the band all think Phoebe is Lottie's imaginary friend and the Fraggle Five don't believe Phoebe went to outer space. Of course Lottie and Phoebe still continue to hang out!

I'm not sure if the other Fraggles will ever meet Lottie of if the band will meet Phoebe. I think it'd be sweet if the band found out, just cuz they're super chill and I think they'd be super nice to Phoebe, who being so small sometimes has to be carried around by the others or lifted up onto counters/furniture and such

[palettepainter]

Begging for headcannons on phoebe Fraggle I love trope of anxiety ball with ball of energy too plz I need more!!!!!!

Since I haven’t posted anything with this OC yet here’s an update to anyone who doesn’t know who Phoebe is: Phoebe is my Fraggle OC, she’s Boober’s little sister and is basically his mirror opposite

This ask is actually great cuz it gives me a chance to flesh out her character a bit more! 

-So like I mentioned in an older post where I first brought up Phoebe, I picture her as a kid. I’m still deciding an age but I picture her no younger as 6 and no older then 10. I personally like to hc Boober as autistic, and Phoebe is the same. Phoebe is intensely interested in plants and insects, which often limits her ability to make friends with other Fraggles her age. She hops about and shakes her arms when especially excited and (like Boober) has strong reactions to certain odors. Despite her and Boober squabbling a lot thanks to their differing personalities they understand each other’s needs very well

-Phoebe doesn’t have many Fraggle friends her age, so she tries to tag along with Boober and his friends when they go on big adventures. She’s often told to stay home because she’s too little to be doing all the stuff they do - so often she’s left to her own devices to entertain herself. Sometimes this can lead to her unintentionally wondering off without realising, until a panicked Boober starts yelling for her 

-She hasn’t been to the Gorgs garden, she’s banned from going anywhere near there since she’s still a kid, so she loves to listen to Mister Matt’s stories of outer space, or Gobo’s tales from the Gorg’s garden. Though she thinks Mister Matt is cool, she gets annoyed when he too underestimates her because she’s little 

-She eventually does go to ‘outer space’ and meet Lottie, where the two then become best friends. Phoebe continues to visit Lottie as often as she can which sometimes means lying to her brother so she can slip away when he’s not looking. I’ve got a good story idea in mind for how they first meet (Boober and his friends didn’t believe Phoebe when she said she met a ‘silly creature’ - aka a person. And the band thought Lottie’s Fraggle friend was an imaginary friend), and I have been thinking about the idea of Phoebe eventually leaving Fraggle Rock when she’s older to join Lottie on an expedition around the world 

-Phoebe loves swimming! It’s my own personal Headcannon that when Fraggles are babies they float like otters do, until they’re big enough to swim and dive under the water. Phoebe has a tendency to float on water if she stays still, and sometimes she’ll just…float away, as in she’ll go wherever the water takes her. Red is currently teaching her how to swim 

-Out of all of Boober’s friends she’s closest with Red and Wembley the most. Wembley is often hanging around with Boober so Phoebe has gotten used to him popping over to Boober’s cave. She likes Wembley’s funny shirts and giggles when the others have to spin Wembley upside down to stop his wembling. She’ll actively ask to be held upside too. 

And she likes Red because she’s basically like a cool older sister to her, also because Red is teaching her how to swim properly. Red is daring and adventurous, she may also like all the free adoration Phoebe gives her so she lets Phoebe hang out with her when Boober’s busy 

-She likes it when she finds small places to hide, especially if it’s a small tunnel that’ll lead her to another cave. She likes finding secret nooks and crannies that no other Fraggle can reach 

-She’s superstitious. She considers the bow in her hair to be lucky, and will get very distressed if she can’t find it (she also can’t see well if her hair isn’t tied back)

-She prefers cold weather to hot weather 

-She likes to hang by her tail. I think it’d be cool if Fraggles could use their tails to hang/steady themselves on things, sorta like how some animals do. Sometimes when Boober returns home he will be greeted by Phoebe hanging from the top of the cave. She also uses her tail to help with climbing since she’ll wrap it around vines or parts of rock 

-Doesn’t like sour foods

[palettepainter]

Have you watched Back to the Rock? The reboot of Fraggle Rock? If you make Fraggle Rock content will it be based around the reboot or the og version?

A very good question anon!

Hands down, for me, the original is outstanding. The episodes where fun and entertaining and, honestly, I didn't expect the finale to be as bittersweet as it was. I was genuinely getting a little emotional, especially at that scene where Gobo comes back and finds Doc and Sprocket gone (and the scenes where Doc and Sprocket where just...waiting outside the little hole in the wall hoping Gobo would come back, ouch-)

As for the reboot I haven't seen too many posts discussing it so I have no idea what the general opinion of the show is, but here's mine: Now, this might be because I watched the reboot straight after I finished the original, but the reboot didn't cut it for me the same way the original did (besides the Glow episode, chefs kiss perfect)

It took a while for me to warmup to Doc in the reboot, but when I got like halfway through the episodes I began to like her. She's okay, but original Doc will always have a special place in my heart, his dynamic with Sprocket was brilliant! (I can't remember if this was said in the reboot but I think it'd be cool if Reboot doc was a descendant of original doc. So she'd be his great great grandniece or something. I think this could make for a sweet story where reboot Doc learns that Fraggles exist, and remembers all the silly stories her great grandpa used to tell her about them. Which at the time, she didn't believe)

I also didn't like how clean the workshop looked in the reboot. It just didn't feel like a workshop, and again maybe it's cuz I watched the reboot right after I finished the original and I hadn't finished being emotional over the ending, but the workshop in the original felt like it had so much character to it. It was grimy, dirty and cluttered but Doc's and Sprocket's dynamic still made the place feel homey. As for the Gorgs garden I liked the designs in both of the series! The reboot def made it feel more fancy and royal like

As for any content I do regarding the Fraggle characters or my OC Phoebe, I think I'm gonna explore the idea of reboot Doc being related to original Doc. I also might give reboot Sprocket a slight redesign - cuz if I do explore this idea more it won't make much sense if reboot Doc had a dog that looked exactly like og Sprocket (but I'm super torn about this cuz I LOVE Sprocket! Some of my fav episodes are when him and Gobo are an episodes focus)

Maybe reboot Doc could become eventual friends with Nora and Moog, and she eventually becomes like the bands some what online promoter alongside Hannah?

[palettepainter]

I’ve got some traditional doodles and Halloween cake pictures to post when I get back (maybe sooner) but in the meantime here are some Muppet ideas I wanna explore some time 

-Raph meeting Fiama. Idk why my brain has latched onto this dynamic, but for some reason I want to have these two interact. Before we left on holiday I rewatched Muppets Tonight and I got to that one episode where Sal gets a book on being a chiropractor. Since Raph is an *actual* chiropractor I think it’d be funny if the these three interacted (maybe Raph gives Sal some pointers)

-Zephyr and Janice hanging out and talking about their moustached husbands, Floyd and Clifford. Zee is pretty confident but I imagine when it’s her and Janice having a girls talk she can get pretty flustered like when talking about Clifford 

-Liv and Animal being chaotic. Liv is the same age as Scooter (early/mid twenties, so like 22-23) and I like think Animal is like, maybe five-ish years older then her. He’s a lot younger then the band. They but heads a lot sorta like siblings but they have their moments of being sweet and caring too

-Family stuff with Zephyr, Clifford and Rosa (I like the name Rosa so I’m dubbing their kid that). Nothing in particular I just wanna draw fluffy family stuff 

-Lottie with Phoebe Fraggle. I have a small story in mind for how these two meet that I wanna write one day but I gotta finish Pheobe’s design first 

-Pirate Anastasia, inspired by gollygeemel’s mermaid AU art. I imagine Anne as a sort of robin-hood of the sea. Running from the marines trying to capture her with the aid of Nemis, a kraken sea witch who ends up getting roped into the chaos. Might draw Liv as a mermaid too inspired by SkippieFritz Wooter art in this AU

-Penny and Fozzie relationship 

I know I mentioned I might make Penny Aromantic, but Penny overall can be pretty blunt/grumpy sometimes, and apparently it’s a harmful stereotype that Aromantic characters fall into this trope of being “unloveable/evil” in media. I don’t want Penny to be negative representation so I’ve been debating on her just being Asexual/Trans 

Penny likes jokes, including corny, silly ones. Laser told her jokes to cheer her up when they where younger so I think Penny would grow a soft spot for Fozzie pretty quickly 

-Some stuff with Tiger (my design for Animal’s ma before he got adopted by Floyd). In one of the Back Stage Pass podcast episodes Animal’s actor said how he, in his interpretation, was purchased from the black market. If Animal did have a ma I imagine she’d stay on the black market while he got sold, and she’d end up in some freak show or something. This is all a loose maybe AU for another AU, I’m torn between exploring the idea or letting Animal’s backstory be a mystery since him being this weird monster creature has always been a big part of his character 

But I’ve been imagining the band and Tiger interacting. How at first they’re weary of her but Tiger proves over time that she’s more intelligent that she looks 

Maybe of her coming around to trusting the band before she returns home (inspired by HTTYD 3 but one day when the band come to visit her she’s got babus, and Tiger dubs them all sitters by letting her three new rapid babies clamber all over them)

Thinking bout this idea again and wanted to jot down some notes about this OC, got some doodles of them in my folder but it'll likely be a while before I post them

-For now I'm thinking of making them 6 years old, this might change when I post their official ref sheet, but in my head I def picture them as no older than 10

-Her belouvious glows like Boober's

-She lives in a small cave section right next to Boober's, her room is often clean since Boober often nags her about cleanliness

-While she does love Boober sometimes his fussing can annoy her, which leads to her being grumpy with him. She worries at times she annoys Boober, so this leads to her spending a lot of time trying to entertain herself, or tagging along with Red. She likes Red's daring energy, and she especially loves it when Red lets her join in with swimming. Alas Boober or Wembley, or any of the others from the Fraggle Five (besides Red), often step in to grab Phoebe before she can jump from too high of a rock into the water

-I picture her sounding like Dot from Bugs Life

-She's pretty daring and often sneaks out from the cave to go exploring on her own when she's bored, especially when Boober tells her something is too dangerous or that she's too little to tag along with them

-She LOVES flutterflies

-She's never been in the Gorgs garden before but the firs time she went to 'outer space' and met Lottie, she mistook her for a Gorg and hid. The two eventually become fast friends after making introductions and spend the day trying to sneak the cookie jar out from the kitchen

-Phoebe likes to hold onto the other Fraggle's tails. She's much smaller then the Fraggle five and sometimes her short legs struggle to keep up with them, so she's started a habit of grabbing onto their tails so she doesn't get left behind

-Chatterbox

-She loves cooking like Boober, but she doesn't really know a great deal about it since she's so little

So I recently binged the entire og series of Fraggle Rock (side note it's awesome Boober is my spirit animal) and then binged the entire remaster, Back to the Rock (second sidenote, Boober is now my spirit Animal even more, The Glow episode was awesome). Even before I watched the series I wanted to make a Fraggle OC for fun, and now that I've watched through both series I think I got a fun idea in mind! Doodles aren't quite finished with this OC but I wanted to share it and maybe get some thoughts/other ideas for it:

Playing into my love for opposites interacting in any dynamic, what if Boober had a younger, energetic little sister/cousin?

They're the total opposite to him: merry, bouncy, energetic, care free, loves exploring and climbing up rocks she shouldn't be climbing on. This is turn causes Boober to stress non-stop when he has to watch her for a day, or worse, if she someone ends up getting roped into whatever scenario he and the other main Fraggles have gotten themselves into. She and Boober but heads, mostly over cleanliness (since my OC tends to get dirty from all the exploring she does), but they still have that sibling like care for each other if the other is sad or hurting

I also want them to eventually become friends with Lottie. I've had a story in my head where my OC (I'm thinking of calling them Phoebe (feebee) Fraggle) has been trying to hang out with Boober all day, but unintentionally keeps messing things up for him. Eventually it ends with her accidentally ruining his laundry, or knocking over his soup, but Boober gets angry and Phoebe leaves with a huff. She ends up accidentally going to 'outer space' (the human world) and she ends up inside the shack from Muppets Mayhem, where she finds Lottie. Hilarity ensues with the two hanging out before Phoebe has to return to the Rock, where the Fraggle five have all been looking for her.

The story would end with Lottie and Phoebe telling their families about the new friend they made, but the band all think Phoebe is Lottie's imaginary friend and the Fraggle Five don't believe Phoebe went to outer space. Of course Lottie and Phoebe still continue to hang out!

I'm not sure if the other Fraggles will ever meet Lottie of if the band will meet Phoebe. I think it'd be sweet if the band found out, just cuz they're super chill and I think they'd be super nice to Phoebe, who being so small sometimes has to be carried around by the others or lifted up onto counters/furniture and such
