But what was this account, you may ask?

A long time ago, my main blog @bugeyedfreaks was being swarmed with asks from people who were fans of the Powerpuff Girls television show. Just so my entire blog wasn’t completely drowned by the amount of asks being sent in, I made this account! Since then, asks have become more manageable, and I’m able to stagger my posts through the queuing system, rendering this blog kind of useless.

So… yeah! Despite this blog no longer being used, it’s still up as an archive of some of the fun messages that I received… and also some of the more unhinged messages I received! Sometimes, even messages I’ve received from absolutely reprehensible, terrible people! 😆 Ah, life. Anyway, if you have any burning questions about the PPG, please feel free to send me an ask through @bugeyedfreaks instead!

I don’t know who Aidan Walker is but it’s the only screencap I’ve got from someone who sent an inquiry to Twitter after it happened. I’ll blow it up for you: 

You can always go to Twitter themselves and get confirmation that this creep is evading what should be a permanent twitter ban for posting violent threats.

Screencap of the tweet that was in the broken link is here because I don’t want people going to bug the author (since I’m gonna guess that’s why the tweet is disabled).

There's a gif set that goes around on tumblr a lot from Members Only but every time I see it it makes me mad because Big Ben didnt say "who washes the dishes" HE SAYS "WHO SCRUBS THE LOO" THE JOKE IS HE's BRITISH

UGH. Clearly not a GIF set made by a True Powerpuff Fan © ® ™

EDIT: Gee whiz, looking back on this, little did I know after answering this that this moron would end up talking to me and attempt to push me into sharing photos of myself and my professional portfolio (!!!) with him, and get real pissy that I refused to share either of them with him, not in a million years, after doing professional and friendly things such as calling me a slut and a bitch and a braindead skank (because that’s soooo funny to do to friends: if they hate it, they’re just overreacting!), consistently saying super nasty things to me out of jealousy (because Craig McCracken reblogs stuff from and follows my allegedly “worthless” blog), consistently making fun of me and putting me down (and if I ever fought back, oh noooo, I was hurting his poor little feelings!), constantly whining to me about his lack of a girlfriend and a so-called lack of friends he lied about (the lying in general was just very consistent), threatening me on MULTIPLE occasions, and unsuccessfully trying to manipulate me to be one of his many female options to glom on to in an effort to move to LA (among a MYRIAD of other insightful, super sketchy red flags that would take paragraphs to write about, such as taking screenshots (???) from Twitter of girls on his phone at 3 AM in the morning and sending them to me and saying, “You’re probably not THIS cute!” which, ew)! 

…and he NEVER apologized for any of his bullshit behavior. Yowza! Wish I’d known all that before talking to THIS disgusting scumbag creepster!

EDIT EDIT, A YEAR LATER: Unfortunately I’m not alone with this. :(

EDIT DECEMBER 2018: It happened again and I’m sadly not surprised. I’ve also had other people tell me their horror stories about this creep since I posted, and now apparently after being suspended for making violent threats he’s still active on Twitter on another account. Trust me when I say this guy is an unapologetic creep, manipulator, liar and abuser. Don’t be fooled. He’ll never “change.” His shitty behavior won’t stop. He needs to boost his ego somehow while he wallows in his own filth and whines about his pathetic life that he perpetuates. Steer clear of this clown personally and professionally.

In regards to HDD, asking women for pictures of themselves while asking for their portfolio, stealing content from people, treating people like they’re beneath you, manipulating and abusing people, preying on younger women to get things that he wants... that isn’t a mental hangup. He’s a lying manipulative creep who knows what he’s doing but doesn’t care to change because there are no consequences for his actions. And even if he pretends to change and be woke or whatever, he’s doing it for his own benefit and to manipulate his audience, not because he actually believes what he’s saying. He never apologizes for anything, not even to people he talks with, because he’s an egotist who thinks the world revolves around him.

His videos are trash anyway. They’re regurgitations of whatever pop culture thing he’s into at the time, they come out months after the thing is relevant, they’re filled with basic opinions, questionable worldviews, and weak edgelord humor. He has never held a job in his life and apparently he’s blacklisted from the animation industry because of his shitty personality and professional skills that would give anyone in HR nightmares, so all he does is leech off the attention of the Internet with the most basic subject matter because it’s easy and he refuses to put effort into anything else.

He’s really not the person anyone should try to emulate.

Reblogging because I guess this idiot is back on his bullshit again since I see people liking this post. Let me also add that for his PPG video, since I run a PPG blog I said I would help him out and give him sources and ideas in exchange for a video credit. He used my input without crediting me (although he claimed that he would before the video came out), most specifically the part about how “men are irreplacable, women are expendable” (ironic when taking work from a woman and not crediting her), calling them his ideas (he asked me if anyone had made an infographic of it — I told him why would someone make an infographic of something that I theorized on my own), and saying that a part of “his” theory didn’t make sense (Jennifer Hale) since I failed to explain to him how, additionally, it looked ageist that the PPG reboot crew wouldn’t let a woman her age voice a younger character (Princess Morbucks). He claimed he never said he would credit me, giving some bullshit reason that he “forgets what he says”, and didn’t add my blog name to his video’s description until I pressed him about it for three days after the video came out (and even then I was just credited for “stuff” 🙄). I was also told that a caricature he drew of my online avatar included in the video was more than enough credit. This plus all the weirdness I listed above like asking me for selfies and my professional work simultaneously and calling me disgusting names, etc… yeah, from my experience and others I’ve spoken with I would venture to guess he isn’t too keen on women as valued individuals for anything other than using in one way or another (and I should also add that this included women muuuuuch much younger than him who he was trying to groom… yikes!!).

Like… honestly, all the bullshit I had to deal with talking with this numbskull still gets under my nerves, but being an edgelord and making basic racist jokes is like the least of people’s worries when this weirdo treats people like trash. He’s a pathetic scumbag.

Posting this since I can confirm, this dude’s just a shallow pathetic manchild who keeps getting away with his shit under the guise of satire and irony. He treats people (at least the ones who aren’t his customers lol) like garbage, and I should know, since I talked to him almost every day for like seven months before I got sick of his constant whining and abusive, creepy bullshit. Those good good McElroy boys are like a million bazillion times better and funnier than he is.

hey guys therell probably be an animatic making the rounds of a guy whos never seen the mcelroys animating an mbmbam bit n i just want to let u all know its by hotdiggedydemon, a huge racist and antisemite, so you might wanna consider Not reblogging it

THIS BLOG IS CLOSED!

Forgot that I stopped using this thing but, yeah, I’m not answering stuff on here anymore. Sorry! Go to @bugeyedfreaks if you have burning PPG questions!

[bugeyedanswers]

Just puttin’ this here momentarily. For. Reasons.

[bugeyedanswers]

Hey Blossom, I think you're the sweetest, smartest and most prettiest powerpuff girl I know. What was the hardest heroic thing you ever done?

Blossom: Oh~! Oh, gosh, thank you so much, I’m so flattered by your incredibly kind compliments! I really, really try to be as sweet as I can possibly be, all of the time. And smart, well, that’s only because I work very, very hard at it. Of course, I am naturally intelligent, but it’s a talent that I take great pride in nurturing! And prettiest? Oh, anon, I know I hear that all the time, but it’s always absolutely flattering! Thank you again, I really, truly mean it!

Buttercup: Oh, brother…

Bubbles: We’ll never hear the end of this!

Blossom: Oh, be nice, guys! Anyway, to answer your question, the hardest heroic thing I’ve ever done is probably when I first became a heroine! It took a lot of courage on my part (and, well, of course, on my sisters’ part as well) to face Mojo after he’d taken over Townsville for the first time. I can’t even begin to tell you how difficult it was to have to go toe-to-toe with someone who’d just betrayed my trust, but of course, it was all in the name of saving the Professor and the citizens of Townsville.

Buttercup: Wow Red, I can’t believe you actually admitted that somethin’ was hard for you.

Blossom: Well, of course it was! Why can’t you believe it?

Buttercup: It’s just weird hearin’ Little Miss Perfect admit that somethin’ was difficult to do is all.

Blossom: I don’t think I’m perfect…

Bubbles: Gee, coulda fooled us!

[bugeyedanswers]

hey girls. since you kill a lot of people, do you know how to hide a body? asking for a friend.

Blossom: Uh, I’m not sure if you know how saving the world works, but we’ve never killed anybody!

Buttercup: Well, we ain’t ever killed people, at least.

Bubbles: We know someone who has though! MOJO! GET OVER HERE!

Mojo Jojo: Ugh, what could you three insufferable infants possibly want from me now?

Buttercup: Some chump on the internet wants to know how to hide a body.

Bubbles: We figured you’d know!

Mojo Jojo: Wh– why would I know something like that!?

Bubbles: Well… y’know… you’re always being mean and shooting laser guns and rockets and missiles and making all the people in Townsville run around all screamin’ and stuff…

Buttercup: Chances are you have to have killed a guy at some point!

Mojo Jojo: Well, perhaps there have been one or two casualties as a result of my wrongdoings, but I regret to inform you three that I have never found it necessary to have to hide a body as a result. As villainous as I may be, such an action has never been one I have had to perform. …yet.

Blossom: Alright, well… assuming it was necessary for you to hide a body, how would you theoretically do it?

Mojo Jojo: Oh, I am SICK of this blatant discrimination! Just because I am an evil evildoer who enjoys evil activities does not mean that you three can expect me to answer questions about every evil act under the sun, especially when those evil acts are evil acts which I have not even acted upon! No! I will not tell you, no matter how many times you ask me to!

The PPGs: [in unison, hands clasped as they look up at Mojo, eyes wide and sparkling] Pleeeeeeease tell us how you’d hide a body, Mojo?!

Mojo Jojo: NO!

The PPGs: PLEEEEEAAAASSSEEEEE?

Mojo Jojo: [groans, exasperated] Alright, alright, fine! Uh… I would… 

[pauses]

…take the body…

…and…

[pauses again]

…hide it…

[pauses again]

…in a hidden place.

Bubbles: [slaps her head] Duh, I can’t believe it was so obvious!

[bugeyedanswers]

[PPG] Dear Gangreen Gang, What are your deep dark secrets? I promise I won't tell anyone.

Ace: Eh, I dunno, I ain’t hiding no secrets. How ‘bout you Snake, you hidin’ any secrets?

Snake: Not as ssssssssssuch, no.

Ace: Arturo?

Lil’ Arturo: No secrets here, boss.

Ace: Billy?

Billy: Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

…

…

…nope!

Ace: Mm, figured ya wouldn’t. Grubber?

Grubber: [spits for twelve minutes]

Ace: Whoa, I never knew that!

Snake: Ssssssick!

Lil’ Arturo: ¡Dios mío!

Ace: Grubber, I wish nobody had asked that question so we wouldn’t have to know that horrible, sick, disgustin’ secret of yours.

Grubber: [spits, shrugs shoulders]

[bugeyedanswers]

[ppg ask thing] you guys like cryptids?

Buttercup: The heck are cryptids?

Bubbles: I dunno! Are they anything like katydids? I like katydids! They look like tiny little leaves an’ they hop all around an’ they’re really really cute!

Blossom: No, you guys, cryptids are animals or monsters that people have claimed to have seen, but might not actually exist, like the Loch Ness Monster. Or Bigfoot!

Bubbles: Oh! Well. I think Bigfoot’s cute!

Buttercup: I dunno, we fight weird monsters like those all the time. And the only thing I like about ‘em is being able to beat the stuffing outta ‘em!

Bubbles: What?! Wait, are you saying if Bigfoot came to Townsville that you’d beat him up?!

Buttercup: Sure! Why else would he be here if he wasn’t gonna destroy the city? 

Bubbles: But he’s so furry and cute! And he’s always running away from people when they try to take his picture! The only crime he’s guilty of is being SHY!

Buttercup: Bigfoot ain’t even real, Bubbles!

Bubbles: He’s real to me! I WANNA BELIEVE!

What is your NOTP in PPG? (Like a ship you reeeeeeeeally hate)

If this is just a general ask, RRB/PPG and any of those gross cartoon crossover pairings that make the girls really super depressed or evil. Just. Ew.

I used to have Super Secret City of Soundsville on CD. I lost the CD, but I found somewhere that had all the songs up for download. I'm sorry I forgot it <:0 but if you haven't heard it, Fuzzy Lumpkins and Boogie Man are def the best tracks :D

It’s a very awesome album! I’ve written before about how I was incredibly saddened as a kid by the fact that they had VA soundclips playing over the music. But! It's still good (especially since apparently the internet was able to rip the remixes from Chemical X-Traction, voice free!)!

[bugeyedanswers]

So in Feb I'm going to a convention and my friend had no idea I liked PPG so much and he thinks I should go as Bubbles! Ideally I want to go as miss Bellum but IDK if I could get a good enough suit in time. Do you think I should do just a classic Bubbles or some sort of aesthetic-take like some people do?

But seriously, either would be awesome! You could probably find a cheap red suit (and even a cheap curly red wig!) on eBay for Miss Bellum, and Bubbles is a really good choice for doing a standalone PPG cosplay because you could do something like tote an Octi along with you! Just rock it and make it your own. There’s no wrong way to do it!

[bugeyedanswers]

(boobs anon again) I guess you're right about the miss Keane thing '~' I guess it kind of stood out to me because as someone who's particularly large chested I sometimes feel a little attacked when a show does something like that. (I know, silly reason) I honestly don't think the current people on the show have the right to think anything of the old was problematic when they, themselves are so awful, sheesh! (ALSO, let's not forget they forgot about their male audience, too...)

Oh, no, that’s not a silly reason at all! Absolutely not! Of course it’s gonna bother you. I think it sucks because sometimes it’s like large breasts automatically equal ~promiscuity~ to some people when it’s just like… look, some girls have larger breasts than others! That is not a bad thing! You can’t help it! When you have a show that cuts out a character and she happens to have very prominent breasts (or, well, yeah, cuts out those prominent breasts), of course the first thing you’re going to think is that they feel like that somehow is negatively sexualizing their characters. In Miss Bellum’s case that’s definitely what happened, so when they do a similar thing to Ms. Keane… just. Ugggghhhh. It’s so sucky.

And you’re right, like… I mean, even if it is a design reason (which, like I said, is probably most likely that), it’s aggravating to me that they made these design choices without thinking of the implications of said choices. It shows just how careless the execution of the show was and it’s a total bummer. 

[bugeyedanswers]

I don't know how many people have brought this up, but why is the reboot so afraid of boobs? I'm pretty sure that's the real reason they threw away miss Bellum, because she was a pretty bad-ass lady and good role model IMO, she just was also busty! I mean, look at miss Keane! And she was part of the itty-bitty-titty committee already. Are boobs gonna harm our kids, but a little kid twerking is -perfectly normal-? Is Townsville banning the tid? Would I never get to live there?!

Ohhhhhh, no, people bring this up a lot. Believe me.

To be honest… Ms. Keane’s lack of bosoms is really a complete non-issue. To me, at least. I understand how people view it but I personally don’t see what the big deal is with that. I mean, yes, it’s interesting that they decided to make her flat-chested (when her original design was not), but I think that’s more from a design perspective than from a, “Oh, god, she’s got pronounced boobs and boobs are EVIL, we gotta chop ‘em off!” perspective. I really don’t think anything was meant by that. It was kind of a dumb decision, sure! It’s a decision I dislike, sure! But I’m confident that there was no thought meant behind it aside from simplifying the design.

If they were against boobs, Bianca would not have them. Sapna would not have them. Princess Bluebell would not have them. The only difference is that they’re just less pronounced in their designs, which is TOTALLY fine. If that’s their design choice and logically makes sense with how they’re designing the other characters then I’m absolutely okay with that (even though the design sucks, I mean, it would just make sense for how you’re doing the rest of your art, since it’s all so much more simplified now). But it’s just really annoying that their designs, along with Ms. Keane’s, make giving their bodies less detail a thing, but… they don’t bother to just redesign Miss Bellum and give her design less detail. They just… kick her out. Because apparently she’s a bad influence because, apparently, her entire design is the reason why she’s ~problematic~. They completely disregard her entire personality and the whole meaning behind her character, and instead of just redesigning her, or having her get some character development, or something… no, she’s just a pair of boobs guys can ogle at. Because they’re doing what her whole character is commenting on and just viewing her as an object. It ain’t just the boobs that gotta go: she’s gotta go.

That is so incredibly stupid.

If your show is going to get preachy and progressive and talk about how girls should respect other girls and all this other stuff, hey, maybe practice what you preach and give all ladies a chance. Don’t just kick ‘em out because of dumb things like their boobs and their looks. Help them grow! Help them become even better! Don’t judge a woman by her cup size: judge her by her character.
