aww, cute little animation!!

and what a perfect audio for lou! here i am reading into things too much again, but it almost feels like they aren't speaking the lyrics, that's just what's lou's hearing because ox in the middle seems almost distraught, like he isn't getting through to lou... hmm

you’re obsessed

[lousirs]

okay i'll ask the obligatory question lol, just out of curiosity, why do you not like dangerfold?

well, it's not that i don't like it, but their dynamic in the reboot flip flops between:

"such a cute couple!"

to

"why are they still together..."

this one is gonna be a doozy (i'd like to provide screencaps) so buckle in boys. this is gonna be a very long one (cause i like to analyse)

unhinged yapping under the cut

vvv

i think i'll mainly be talking about the reboot, cause although i've watched the classic a while ago, the episodes sort of blend together so i can't pinpoint moments... also i think their dynamic is more widely explored in the reboot. in the classic it's quite simple: penfold is the cowardly assistant who doesn't want to be there, and dm does most of the work. and sometimes they say rude things to each other and penfold drops a car on dm. ya know, the usual.

also, this won't be a structured ramble, i'll just be bringing up things that irk me about the duo from memory.

license to care (season 2, episode 33)

i think this episode is the biggest example for me personally. the episode starts of with penfold being justifiably annoyed that dm forgot his birthday.

and he has been forgetting his birthday for years now. they are meant to be bffs in the show (heck, implied spouses!), and you'd think, even despite dm never catching a break, that he'd at least know it was penfold's (his bff and his assistant for YEARS) birthday?

(it's been a while since i've seen this episode so i'm slowly going through it and DM KNEW WHAT TO GET PENFOLD AND DIDN'T GET HIM IT???)

dm, you twat!

anyways. professor uses some experimental empathy spray on this god forsaken rodent and he finally celebrates penfold's birthday, and do what penfold enjoys doing. ...and this is the first time (and i think the only time) i've seen dm so exhausted in the reboot.

he is usually bouncing off the walls, but here he is exhausted to do the things penfold enjoys, even despite the empathy spray. he just does not enjoy it.

episode continues, blah blah blah spray wore off blah blah blah baron doing evil stuff. and as dm and penfold are heading on over, they start arguing again, and penfold sprays dm with the empathy spray.

involuntarily and suddenly. i don't even know how he got that can- if professor gave it to him or if he stole it. look at penfold's expression; he's very happy to be doing this, despite dm not wanting it at all, even putting his hand up to try and block it. he is involuntarily forcing dm to act in a way he just isn't, just because they had a little argument. kinda fucked ngl. and penfold doesn't even regret doing it. he just regrets over-spraying him. is dm a jackass? yeah, but that doesn't mean you can force him to act in a way that pleases you.

the hamster effect (season 1, episode 26)

soooo basically brunel changes history so that dm and penfold never met, and dm immediately wakes up to his eyepatch being uncharged, and clothes and leftover food piled everywhere. and throughout the episode, dm keeps calling penfold his "assistant" (he says "friend" around the end but he says assistant more)

you'd think if you lost your bff, you'd be trying to get them back through saying you were best friends and how much you care about them, but he just says assistant. and then goes on to list what chores penfold usually does. obviously this alternative penfold does not want that sort of life, but dm forces it upon him. cause homeboy wants a housewife i guess lmao.

and when things are back to normal, penfold has dm's car ready and the eyepatch is charged, and dm seems more glad to have penfold back because penfold has everything ready and organised for him, rather than being glad to have penfold back because... they're friends?

there's something about scarlett (season 2, episode 16)

just on a side note: despite scarlett basically just being there to be penfold's love interest, she is honestly more compatible with penfold and i find their relationship cheesy and wholesome. they're sweet in this episode, leave me alone *sobbing and running away*

ANYWAYS there's just one moment i'd like to talk about here, and it's when scarlett is confiding in dm. everyone has been trying to be her boyfriend, and she's very overwhelmed. and penfold was acting weird too, thanks to dm's influence.

dm tries to explain to her that he was the one getting penfold to do those things in secret, thinking that's what scarlet would want, but before he can finish, penfold appears, accusing dm.

penfold doesn't give dm the chance to fully explain himself, he goes straight to accusing him. granted, dm is shit at explaining, but he had good intention, and you'd think penfold would understand that since dm wasn't interested in scarlett here, he was more so trying to help penfold in his... unorthodox ways.

yule only watch twice (season 2, episode 24)

yes, i know, this episode isn't actually them, but we're meant to believe it's dm and penfold, and i'm gonna be honest: it's still in line with how they act. and there's one moment i'd like to bring up here, and it's penfold bringing up jeopardy.

he has done this multiple times in different episodes, believing that jeopardy is better than dm, and perhaps she is, she is kinder to penfold, doesn't use him like bait, and is more professional. but it is a real sore spot for dm.

these two really like to get under each other's skin, huh.

perhaps i am reading too far into this, that is what i usually do, and there are lots of moments where they do seem like a good duo/ship/couple, don't get me wrong. but personally i see their dynamic like this: dm wants company, he wants someone to assist him and someone to save. he doesn't want a proper friend, in fact he isn't personally close to anyone- no one knows what he did before being a secret agent, no one knows his real name or why he wears an eyepatch or his family or anything in the reboot. dm doesn't want anyone to know him besides the hyperactive secret agent act he puts on, and the little details he sprinkles in rarely (like how he was laughed at during a musical audition, causing a huge insecurity).

i think the blood cells leader put dangerfold's dynamic best (banger episode btw)(live laugh love for your insides only)

i think this is how dm views penfold. and penfold is not very fond of this, as seen in episode two of the first season and beyond.

and there's other questionable things about their dynamic, like for instance in tomorrow never comes dm and penfold talk to each other about... what they've been doing over the weekend? when they live in the same apartment? they were both indoors during the weekend, and never once bumped into each other? not even for breakfast or something? alrighty...

(also how, when penfold has control over dm, it gets to his head and acts honestly cruel, like in jam session)

anywaysss idk, i don't see them as compatible as a couple, more so just friends. friends who have a love/hate relationship with each other. but just to be clear i don't dislike people who ship it and i still think the art is adorable. and i'm not saying dm can't be compatible with anyone either. i mean, i haven't seen this ship much but duckula/dm works quite well, they have a lot in common despite being enemies. (headcanon that they're both theatre kids TRY TO PROVE ME WRONG!!!!)

...also you can probably guess who i find dm most compatible with based on the other random character i usually draw him with haHA-- (and before anyone says: i am a multi-shipper and i don't dislike dangerfold because it "gets in the way of my ship" or whatever the fuck)(idk why anyone would after i provided proof for my reasoning but hey)

[lousirs]

U SHOULD MAKE DM X PENFOLD PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL 🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

oho, i think you're asking the wrong person here ^^;

after watching both the classic and reboot, i have some uh... hot takes about dangerfold... which will probably have the fandom bashing down my door with pitchforks (i'm sorryyyyy i used to ship them and the fanart they get is always adorable)(but the reboot especially makes it hard to ship them)(if anyone is curious, i'm willing to explain why)

...not to say they aren't fruity though. episode 2 of the reboot had penfold labelled as dm's spouse on dm's passport. there was one definition saying that spouse meant two people who share a house (which they do) but most definitions say marriage. so. uh.

...headcanon that dm got married for tax benefits. he doesn't seem like the marriage kinda guy, and he needs all the money he can get since he apparently owes like... 44,000 lifetimes worth of money for all the destruction of property he's done (or however much the comic said). rip penfold :')

(same goes for the final episode in the reboot cause there is no way in hell professor and dm are a good couple)(ALSO. IF PENFOLD AND DM ARE SPOUSES, AND DM GETS MARRIED TO PROFESSOR IN THE LAST EPISODE... IS THIS POLYAMORY??? IS DM IN A POLY MARRIAGE?? I NEED TO KNOW--)(also if homeboy is still with fifi, that makes 3 partners. dm collecting partners like pokemon cards)

aaaanyways, i suggest asking probably anyone else ;v; sorry to disappoint

[lousirs]

ah, i see i see! (no need to apologise! i love hearing ideas)(mind if i ramble a little?)

yesss i can totally see that being lou. he's that type that acts all suave, wanting admiration, but when it comes down to proper love, he isn't really bothered. he wants to be receiving love, not giving it (in the beginning, at least)

and since you're going for more angled/demi aroace, i can imagine he has quite the hard shell, not just cause of who he is, but also what he's gone through. it will take quite a while until he begins to realise he feels some sort of love towards someone (platonic or otherwise).

(apologies if i'm getting anything wrong here, i'm not 100% knowledgeable about the aroace spectrum)(i'm ace personally but i'm still a dunce xP)

i like how you show nolan and lou's dynamic in your little story, with how lou gets quite clingy to nolan, possibly unknowingly. perhaps the clinginess comes off as impatience and a need for him to know everything that's happening, but this could be the beginning of him showing some form of love and affection. he normally wouldn't care that a doll is doing something without him, but strangely nolan is one exception.

new art!?

happy pride people here’s some art with a new style I like it but idk how long I’ll keep it

[lousirs]

ooh, love this style :oo very colourful! the gradients in the hair that subtly shows the hair... wool? strands is a nice touch

wonderful art as always!!

new art!?

happy pride people here’s some art with a new style I like it but idk how long I’ll keep it

[lousirs]

Happy pride my dearr :3

aww, happy pride to you as well! <3

[lousirs]

How do you imagine Mr. Peabody and DM meeting? I saw you wrote that it was through a "wormhole", but still I need specifics

gooooooooooooooood question, i have no idea lol

i said wormhole cause both have wormholes/blackholes and dimensional/time travel stuff in them. there was even an episode of the reboot where dm was disrupting history lmao (that episode was wild. bro literally became a god). they are so different but so alike...

but it's hard to say what would happen cause my versions of dm and mr.p are sorta merged versions of all the different variations of them? for mr.p i take inspo from his scientist outfit in tmpass and the tinted-looking glasses, but his personality is more so a mix of movie/classic. and dm is mainly based on the 2015 reboot (especially the part where he's taller now and not a little guy), but there are little things i include from the classic (e.g. that mouthless expression he does all the time. adorable)

soooo this isn't totally accurate to any version haha

buuuut if i had to make a little story, i'd say that mr.p was taking the wabac on a little test drive, probably after configuring some parts that needed a check-up, but the machine malfunctioned and got dragged into an unknown wormhole. i guess vaguely similar to that tmpass episode where the wabac malfunctioned and they ended up in this strange, stationary-themed post-apocalypse thing. tmpass is so bizarre lmao

so. he crash lands, no one knows what this flying apple thing is that just crashed onto their planet, and dm is called on a mission to check out what that was. shenanigans ensue. and eventually mr.p would get back with their help... hire me dm writing team. £5. that's all i ask for.

but what i find amusing is their reactions to all this. to dm this would be business as usual. time traveller causing destruction? he already has to deal with a time travelling monkey with a large top hat, so he thinks not much of this. but mr.p? he is quite overwhelmed by this new universe with these talking animals that act just like humans, similar to him. it will be very strange.

anyways yeaaaah xD idk i just think it would be cool if they met. as i've mentioned before, they are extremely similar in a lot of ways, which i'm willing to list if anyone is curious. also. tmpass season 2 episode 9... season 2 episode 9... peabody got a thing for smug british secret agents who make puns, yo. WELL DO I HAVE THE GUY FOR YOU--

[lousirs]

school year ended for me so heyy i decided to be self-indulgent again YOU'RE GETTING THE DOG AND MOUSE (now featuring hamster (idk how to draw penfold))

let us pretend i am posting this on june 1st because i am patient and am willing to wait until tomorrow :) thanks guys. happy pride

also. saw one of my drawings of mr.p and dm on a separate and private pinterest account when looking at wholesome crackship art. so uh. i'm a danbody artist now hello (what's new)

aight i'll see you all whenever

[lousirs]

oh my goodnesss!!! this idea looks so fascinating :oo

i wonder what happened here... did someone else try throwing lou in recycling? seems so... and now he's clawed his way out... what's this vengeful little man doll going to do???

Alternate Ending!Lou ????

Fate AU Oneshot

(Got bored, so thought I might have another go at fanfiction. It's been a minute (as always))(Also idk what the term is for a short fic so I'm calling it Oneshot. Uh)(Also also doodled something to go with the fic)

------

“Heya Lucky. You’re… good with all this card-leaf-fortune-telling mumbo-jumbo, aren’t cha..?”

It was the early morning. The very early morning. And Lucky was not expecting guests before the woollen sun had even risen.

“Uhm... I suppose I am? Well, besides the tealeaf reading.” Lucky rubbed his eye in an attempt to see Ox more clearly, who was looking at him with a mixture of confusion and worry. “But did something happen? I know you’re an early bird, but… It’s still dark out.”

“No, no, it’s nothing to worry yourself over! I was only thinking that it would be nice to… to see what the cards have to say, you know?”

Ox was trying to smile his usual smile, but there was a tremor in it like an over-taught wire. Lucky blinked in hesitancy, giving space to let Ox in.

“...Sorry if the reading is a little inaccurate, it is…” Lucky looked back at the clock, “5am, after all.” He shut the door.

“That’s okay, sorry for waking you up so early.”

Lucky shook his head, “I am here when you need me, and you need me now, so, uhm, everything is okay. Now… Where are my cards…”

Lucky searched through the various compartments on the walls, pulling out and shutting drawers, nearly tipping over a vase out of sheer tiredness. Ox observed him with a twinge of guilt. He realised he might be overreacting with his worry, but at the moment, he needed some comfort.

“Ahh, there they are.” Lucky took out a stack of hand-made cards make from crayons. “For a moment there I thought Moxy borrowed them.” He sat on the other side of the table, opposite to Ox, and shuffled the cards in his wings before setting them on the table.

“You may take the top card from the deck.” Lucky said.

Ox squinted a little. “Are you sure this is how cards are read?”

“Hmm…” He shrugged with a nervous look, “I honestly don’t know. This is my own unique method, I guess. Different dolls might do this differently.”

“I see…” He warily takes out a card, reading it out. “Make everyday amazing... Hm... I agree completely, but… This wasn’t what I was looking for.”

“Perhaps take another card if you’re unhappy with the first?”

Ox picks up another card. “Good vibes only…?”

“Another?” Lucky confusedly answered.

“Don’t give up?”

“Hold on, let me look at those cards… Oh! Oh, no, these are not my cards. Moxy must’ve mixed up her positive messages with my cards again.”

Ox chuckled softly, “That really is a good trait of Moxy's; she is always able to see the positive side of things.” He turned the card in his hand, the other side being covered in flowers, hearts, and stars. “I hope no one gets rid of that spark in her.”

“Uh... I’m sorry for the mix-up, Ox...” Lucky squeaked.

“No harm done. It has put me in a better mood.” He gives a small smile. “Well, I best be off now. Sorry to bother you, again.”

“Are you sure? I don’t mind making you some tea…”

“Don’t worry about me, Lucky, I’ll be alright. I hope you have a wonderful day! After some rest, of course.”

Lucky watched as Ox walked down the steps of his home, a stiffness in his posture like he was carrying the weight of the entire factory.

Lucky anxiously bit his lip, torn between concern and curiosity. Ox often spoke vaguely, a tendency that both intrigued and unsettled the uglydoll.

Eventually Ox returned to his home, a deep sigh escaping his mouth as he retrieved the cards he received from Lucky. A small, amused smile tugged at his mouth, yet a flicker of uncertainty lingered in his eye. He placed the cards down gently and switched on the lamp. Pulling open the top drawer, he sifted through various colourful sheets of paper until he found another card. A card adorned with intricate patterns with a gleaming golden border, crescent moons encircling a number: 12. He grimaced at the card, reluctant to flip it over and read the message it held once more. Instead, he put the three hand-made cards on top, closing the draw and sitting down, pressing his hands to his cheeks and letting out a shaky sigh.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh btw dunno if i said this before or not

but i don't check notes/activity and comments on my posts :')

sounds pathetic, but i have like... real bad anxiety when it comes to posting, so when i post, it's like throwing bacon onto a oily pan and running away so the hot oil doesn't splash on me. i throw it into the abyss and hope someone catches it lol. i do see reblogs when i check people's blogs sometimes tho.

so if i haven't seen your comment, that's why, and i apologise for it :') if you want to contact me, my inbox and messages are always open!

[lousirs]

yesssssss YES! lou reads out their """destiny""" and all the dolls just. believe it without question, because hey, he KNOWS his stuff, so why doubt him?

lou does not train the dolls, rather, he gives the dolls some prophecy, and the doll does it directly according to what he says. if lou says "you will work hard." the doll with work their hardest. if lou says "the kids won't play with you if you don't fix yourself." the doll will try their best to look the part. so quite similar to canon, but they are mainly following his word as gospel.

but no matter what, he pretends that none are ready to leave. they HAVEN'T worked hard enough. they AREN'T good enough. only he can "talk" to the stars and crystal ball, so only HE knows when it's time to leave. and he only lets the dolls leave when the institute is too full, or if he gets bored of the batch of dolls. he tells all the prettiest dolls that fate decides it's their time to leave, and off they go. meanwhile the imperfects have been stuck. not to say they haven't tried to convince the masses of lou's fraud, but what's a few dolls against hundreds? this is why the uglydolls stepping up alongside them is so valuable. a voice is louder if more people stand beside them.

as for the zodiac part, the "birthday" will be the date of their creation, and no matter what, the predictions never mention leaving. it would be some random pointless information like "you will be lucky today" or "you will make a friend". and everyone just believes it.

and yeeep, lou is one jealous prick. insert nick jonas song reference here. everyone gets to be whatever they want! but him? he needs to look after the factory. he was "programmed" to do so, lest he be discarded. so he found his own way to take back control, even if that meant fooling others. (quite similar to canon once again)

you know what? screw it. i'm going to tell you lot about an old Fate AU

(for context: this was a drawing collab did between myself and @moonoaware , they did the lineart and i rendered)

the yapping under the cut:

I made it a while back with the lovely @moonoaware , and it was deemed the "Fate AU". It was about Lou being this scam artist fortune teller, who'd convince the masses of dolls that his predictions were fate, manipulating them so they stay with him. The prettydolls were "believers" (meaning they believed in whatever nonsense Lou predicted from a crystal ball and cards) and the uglydolls/imperfect dolls were "non-believers" (those who don't believe the nonsense). The imperfect dolls pretend to believe, but they had this own little group where they were planning to reveal the truth, but they just didn't know how to convince all these dolls... until Moxy and crew arrived.

And recycling was appropriately renamed "The blackhole".

The whole AU was very astrology themed, and all the students wore robes with star patterns all over...

here's a few unfinished drawings so you get the idea: (bonus some doodles from Moono)

(If you're wondering who that grey doll is, it's Rhidian. I'll go into more detail about my OCs inclusion if anyone sends a message in the inbox, but for now I'm focusing on the canon characters) vvv

(context for the next one: Lucky Bat is a fortune teller, no? And we thought it was funny that he'd be absolutely APPALLED that Lou is manipulating through fortune telling. He would be the most passionately angry about this xD)(also Zavier is there. Cause hey. He despises Lou too xD) vvv

As for plot (if I exclude the OCs for the moment here)... From what I remember, it's quite similar to the film? But this time around it's the Imperfects and Uglies revealing Lou to be a big liar and that they can leave and nothing is stopping them from doing so besides Lou, yada yada... There was some side plot going on with the OCs BUT. Idk if you lot care so hey.

If you 2 and a half people are interested, ask me about this AU! It might help rejog my memory, haha.

(HEY @moonoaware IF YOU WANT TO ADD ON THEN BE MY GUEST!!!)

(quick edit: moved the image to be on top (there ya go Moono))

Here we go something other that Nolan and Lou 😘

[lousirs]

omggg i love this idea!! he does seem like the type to be good with kids (unlike a certain SOMEONE) and it must be tough work! and he comes home to this blond fuck expecting him to do more work xD lou, cmonnnnn!

Nolan

in my story I think it would be funny if Nolan was a early childhood teacher someone who teaches people to take care of children.

and Lou just randomly finds out and part. 8 is on its way.
