One of these days I would love to do like a weird contest or poll or something, but just have it be like… either a contest to see who could create the best original Powerpuff Girls bootleg design, or which existing Powerpuff Girls bootleg design is the queen of queens.

…now that I’m actually writing about it, I think the “Bad Girls Go To Cancun” girls would win, but I don’t know. Man. If any of you ever find any weird bootleg girls or if you draw any bootlegs, please… PLEASE… send them to me. Or tag me on your creations.

That post about Snake as an adult (and a dad!) made me think about how I think each Gangreen Gang member would do as a dad.

So just for fun, here are my headcanons before I go to sleep:

Ace: 4/10, definitely not the best. Would go back and forth between acting like an irresponsible friend who'd teach them how to break the law, and lashing out whenever they did something to piss him off.

Snake: 6.5/10, he's... okay. I think he'd genuinely try his best to provide both the physical and emotional stability he didn't have as a kid, but his need for love and approval would make him behave a bit childish at times. He wouldn't be as volatile or unpredictable as Ace, but more passive aggressive and with a tendency to sulk and give the silent treatment when his feelings get hurt.

Lil Arturo: 8/10. A pretty good dad all things considered. He'd be very loving and attentive, but also know how to set boundaries and let them be independent. He also might encourage them to threaten their bullies with a switchblade, but only threaten, not actually use. Cross his heart.

Big Billy: 6/10. He'd love being a dad, and love his kids so, so much. But he'd let them get away with murder and be super overbearing to the point he'd probably have an emotional breakdown if they told him they wanted to hang out with their friends instead of him. Despite having the best of intentions, his kids would probably end up having to raise themselves more than anything.

Grubber: Not only would he be able to teach them the violin and how to speak in ancient tongues no mortal has known for millennia, but he'd also hold them when they cry and kill their enemies for them. 10/10 best dad in existence.

look i think professor utonium can be very attractive but his nipples look like they're on a political compass chart and that's really not sexy

Speaking of the IDW how did you like mojo character in that story? The new one is just episodic instead of the 2013 story arc

You’re talking about the Second Chances story, right? I really, really liked it up until the last part. 🤣 I’ll cut for a little bit more of an explanation (since I don’t wanna entirely spoil it if people plan on reading it… even though it’s basically been out forever at this point), but it was honestly the closest to being faithful to the show’s Mojo not written by anyone who’d worked on the show that I had been craving since The PPG Rule!!!, so… yeah, for the most part I really loved it.

…but I did NOT like that one absolutely stupid joke about him smearing shit on the wall of the Professor’s lab, oh my god. 🤣

I know that it’s par for the course to make monkeys throwing poop jokes in media that includes monkeys (I do enjoy that level of dumb joke now and then), but they did a similar gag like that in the movie, where one of the baboons Mojo had given intelligence to created a robot that basically threw bombs it pooped out... and Mojo’s response to it was to roll his eyes and sarcastically quip, “Oh, that’s classy.” 🙄 Being the refined intellectual that he is, I just could not see Mojo stooping to that same level! He thought it was gross! Like, ew! It’s unhygienic, too! My boy isn’t like that! He would never! 🥺 It was the first moment of that whole last issue of the story that was very OOC to me, and it kind of kept being OOC in certain sections with the other characters after that… which I was really disappointed about, because up until that point, I was so hooked on the whole story and thought it was so true to the show.

Other than that… I liked how needlessly convoluted and diabolical his plan turned out to be (how he had hypnotized himself to eventually revive his powers and steal the Professor’s Chemical X, because that’s such a thing he would do)… and, unfortunately, because I only own the Second Chances comic of the IDW run, I can’t remember if there was a part in one of the later stories that showed him re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, but for the most part, I did enjoy most of how they wrote him. I had super small nitpicks (in the grand scheme of things) but it wasn’t too bad!

Do you have any Him headcanons?

Sure!

--- He's old. Like, super old. Not quite as old as the universe itself but pretty close.

--- He's immortal and nearly impossible to kill, but he still has his own vulnerabilities.

--- He has a... weird relationship with the Professor. There's a part of him that respects him for creating one of the few things that can give him a run for his money (the Powerpuff Girls) but he also holds a deep level of hatred and resentment towards him for the same reason.

--- He considers Mojo Jojo a friend, but in the same way one would consider their sidekick a friend. Fun to talk to and partner up with sometimes, but ultimately someone he doesn't see as an equal.

--- He has a long history with Sedusa, and played a pretty big role in her getting her powers. Before they crossed paths, she was a (relatively) normal, mortal woman.

--- His favorite victims are those who are the most vulnerable, the ones with the most internal conflict. He loves taking someone who is unsure of themselves or battling their inner demons, and doing every thing in his power to make sure those inner demons win, and that the victim has no one to blame but themselves

Bug there are new PPG comics in production rn!! And it used the original show's artstyle!! https://twitter.com/DynamiteComics/status/1782547456246636755?t=Wgp3xtQ2BbE1vlnOauu1XA&s=19

Huh, interesting…

…I’m apprehensive and just a little scared about it but this has the potential to be really cool! Neat!

[bugeyedfreaks]

Underrated villains need more love imo (especially the one-shot ones)

I mean… you’re so right. The show’s had a lot of really fun and interesting one shot villains that are really entertaining and full of personality!

Anyone got any particular favorites?

you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised the ppg

Y'know, I think it'd be nice if Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, and Natalie Palamides got to guest star in the Craig McCracken reboot (preferably as good guys, like friends of the girls or something). Just to show that there are no hard feelings.

…I feel like for their sanity and well-being, staying away would be the best option (because even despite telling people NOT to harass them even long ago, there were people who did it anyway, and I could totally foresee nerds on the internet back in their DMs and all that), but that’s a sweet thought.

For real! What a crime!

Trimming down Roger L. Jackson's entire Mojo Jojo speech in The Powerpuff Girls Movie was a CRIME.

The man said all that in ONE BREATH for crying out loud!

I don’t know if you play splatoon 3 but I wanna show you this cute fanart someone drew based off the most recent splatfest (Chicks vs Bunnies vs Bear Cubs)

I don’t but that IS very cute!

I’m glad the quality control for these things has stayed consistent over the years. 💖

Hello! Sorry if this is a strange thing to ask, I've been following ur blog for forever but I've recently gotten back into PPG as it was my favorite cartoon as a kid, and I've found myself suddenly obsessed with Mojo Jojo 💖 I always like getting screenshots of my fave characters but I figured you'd have a pretty extensive library already built up. Any chance you have a folder sitting somewhere? Or maybe you could answer with a few favorites? Thanks for running this blog btw, u are appeciated!! 💝💖💝💖💝

Congratulations on becoming obsessed with the best character of the series! 👏 If you search my blog for Mojo or just search the #mojo jojo tag, you will find way too many images of him to count. However, here are some screenshots I had handy on my computer for you to... admire?

I also have a small collection available of very weird fanart (mostly of Mojo dying) that I can post if you are interested, but for now... there you go! That is what I have! The images which have preceded these sentences which I am currently typing are most of what I have available for you to view and enjoy, and I most certainly hope you have viewed and enjoyed them!

When I was a kid, weirdly I was obsessed with shipping Ace with Vicky from Fairly Odd Parents. I think it was because my child brain thought "they're both mean teenagers, if they were in love they wouldn't be mean :)"

I had a notebook filled with my PPG/FOP crossover 😭

I distinctly remember drawing Cosmo and Utonium as friends because of their white and black outfits haha

Genuinely love this. I mean, it makes sense! I love how you were kind of looking out for them and thought their love would make them both pure instead of what probably would happen, which would be them joining forces and being even meaner. It’s a wholesome sentiment. 😆
