(updating old mitchcess post) A little bit older now but i love them the same and my head-canons have changed? + grew so here's some changes and additions! (also i did delete some things from og post.)
- Both find the concept of romance far fetched and out of reach because of their own childhoods and how they are as people.
- So their relationship is very slow paced
- Mitch is the first person to genuinely befriend Princess considering she's a little drama queen and not many people can deal with her.
- They get into a lot of trouble together, Mitch is a prankster and Princess has the money to fund his chaotic ways + he helps her feel more free considering she's in a society where they are to act a certain type of way.
- Relationship-wise, they can be a little toxic. Princess and Mitch both are prone to just not speaking on their feelings so they usually don't, they either don't speak on it, those feelings grow, or they just never bring it up again.
- i think they break up at least once or twice just because they're high schoolers who need to be able to work on themselves!
- Princess still is the one to ask him out, she likes him and she gets what she wants. I believe he would reject her the first time because feelings are like new to him and relationships??? double ew.
- don't think they have a super lovey dovey relationship, when i say this i mean what you would normally see relationship's, they're not extremely touchy (in the beginning) at least in public.
- subtle touches, hugs, cheek kisses, comfortable silences, studying together +princess studying mitch doing anything but that, they're not overly affectionate but still like to touch each other #touch-starved
- Mitch is just straight up chaos and Princess is such a worrywart when it comes to people she cares about.
- "Fights" are disagreeing then giving each-other space with major long silences and awkward run ins until one of them gets fed up with it. And they just talk
- Princess is the jealous type. But not to an extreme.
- Mitch was insecure due to Princess's high standards and him not being able to buy her whatever she wanted or do things people of a higher class would.(Though she really didn't care about that)
- They both require reassurance
- They're always there for each other relationship or not they're major besties.
- They're really soft with each-other but their relationship is full of teasing and jokes, so it's never a dull moment.
Elmer is albino, and he still has his glue powers. He's done quite well keeping it under wraps thanks to Professor Utonium and his pen-pal, Dexter.
Ms. Bellum is Princess Morbucks' maternal aunt. Penelope (Princess's mom, Sara's sister) and Sara were close as could be from a typical middle class family. That all changed when Penelope started dating Roy Morbucks. Ms. Bellum never liked the guy but her parents could be happier. The final nail in the coffin was when Penelope announced their engagement, and the two haven't spoken since her wedding day.
Prior to moving to Townsville, Mr. Morbucks had business in Townsville; some of it legal, but most of it wasn't. With the Powerpuff Girls being the beloved superheroes, it'd only be a matter of time until someone hired them to look into Mr. Morbucks' establishments and discovered his criminal underbelly. He decided to take Princess and enroll her in the very same kindergarten as the Powerpuff Girls to be her eyes and ears. He didn't expect her to become a supervillain out of spite, but he decided to fund her endeavors as a distraction.
Mitch has a tumultuous family background. His mom is dead, his dad's an alcoholic whose constantly in and out of jail with a different girl of the week living with him in the trailer, and his grandmother is hospitalized. Once Professor Utonium learned of this, he allowed Mitch to spend the night whenever he felt the need to. The constant exposure to the Powerpuffs allowed him to become friends with Blossom and Bubbles, closer with Buttercup, and a nicer person overall. He's still rather rebellious but he's no longer a bully. His interests are motorbikes (or any kind of car) and animals, surprisingly. He helps the volunteers to look after Twiggy during the summers on Monster Isle, who helps keep the monsters away from Townsville.
The Gangreen Gang (minus Ace, obviously) are a few of the aforementoined volunteers. Much to Buttercup's chagrin, Mitch and the reformed Gangreen Gang are on good terms.
Beebos are outlawed in Townsville, Farmsville, and Citiesville. All of them have been relocated to Monster Island. Mitch also helps keep an eye on the population and their feeding habits during his volunteer work over the summer.
I can't decide if I want one of the Rowdyruff Boys or the Gangreen Gang to illegally have a Beebo, but one of those former delinquents definitely has one and are trying their hardest to keep it a secret lmao.
I've spoken about him here but Barnaby Mayer (aka "the Mayor") had been embezzling money from the city of Townsville for years. He came from a rather poverty stricken background and originally wanted to become mayor to help change Townsville for people like him. His newfound greed got to the better of him, and a certain someone close to him who I don't want to spoil just yet only helped push him further. Deforestation only allowed the growth of Townsville's infrastructure, at the expense of Fuzzy's property. Bribes from rich corporations in Townsville allowed the Mayor to turn a blind eye to wherever they dumped their toxic waste, which affected the Gangreen Gang and mutated the Amoeba Boys as their part of the city became the city wasteland. Sedusa's own court case was even rigged in the research lab's favor as a deal; the Mayor offers them funding and in exchange, they keep quiet about what he asks of them (future questionably unethical Chemical X experiments to extract a weakness against the Powerpuff Girls, silence on the ozone layer of Townsville and the radiation/pollution from monster waste, the Antidote X handcuffs, testing other animals which lead to the creation of the talking dog, White Kitty, and Roach Coach, etc). Most of Townsville's infamous villains link back to him (I got the idea from this post in particular, I just expanded on it).
Speaking of Sedusa's court case, I spoke a great deal about her here. Her real name is Annalise.
any other ships you like/think could work besides Brick x Dexter?
I really like Blossom x Robin ! My second favorite ship actually. I really like @/lune_redd ‘s ship art of Buttercup x Mitch so I’m sticking with that one. Another one I used to ship was Brick and Mike Believe but in my AU I think I’ll just make them ex’s who are best friends, they just didn’t work out is all. Butch I haven’t decided yet but I’m lowkey leaning towards Harry Pitt or Clara
Boomer and Bubbles are just doing they’re own thing lol.
Best Buttercup x regular human ship not even close. They are that damn weirdo friend pair everyone teases about dating and they INSIST they're just friends but actually end up developing mutual crushes in middle or high school. A lot of fanfics [even ones I love!!!] make Mitch a little bastart bitch who breaks Buttercup's heart, but after Ace I feel like she would never dare to be open with her feelings and let things get to the point of dating unless she were convinced that person simps for her hardcore. I think every kid in Pokey Oaks knows it would probably be suicide to fw any of the girls like that, no matter how stupid they grow up to be. Except Princess who canonically tore Bubbles' heart out in a chapter book, but it's Princess, lol.
Mitch gotta get a job or something though, and because he is redneck trailer park coded AS FUCK, he will 100% be a blue collar boy. I can see him being part of Townsville's reconstruction crews and helping sort shit after Powerpuff business.
So, yes. Mitch is Buttercup's future blue collar malewife, and he's one of the only men she trusts. It is law.
Side note, I pray for any human getting shipped with the PPG, it is what it is, but in Buttercup's case it could actually contribute to her running arc of practicing self-restraint, which is nice.

ugh , FOOD. buttercup can smell the greasy , overly salted french fries inside their bag. there's nothing she wants more than that right now. her stomach gargles in hunger , ignoring the fact that she ate two hours ago before going on patrol. chemical x burns through calories like wildfire. without hesitation , buttercup grabs the mcdonald's bag from dick's hand and reaches in. the man brought her six large fries. she could KISS him right now.
“ you are officially my favorite person. ” mitch is usually the one who brings her food in the middle of night patrols , making him her favorite , but you snooze you lose. buttercup stuffs her face with a handful of fries , just as her stomach complains again.
between mouthfuls , buttercup grumbles , “ y'know they refused to give me my food once because there was a monster attack or some shit once. ” she is never going to let that go. she already paid and everything ! disrespectful as fuck. dick has definitely heard this story a million times. “ all i wanted was some — ” she's interrupted by her own gleeful scream , fingers finding FRESH chicken nuggets at the bottom of the bag. “ mcnuggets ! fuck yeah. ”
Just a doodle of an under developed ship I love lol. I imagine Mitch singing to Buttercup on a date.
He’s either singing Sweet City Woman by the Stampeeders: www.youtube.com/watch?v=opgsnS… Or
It Must be Love by Alan Jackson: youtube.com/watch?v=lLahdT6wn40
Maybe a bit out of character for Mitch, but these are the songs I listen to when think about them so whatever
---
The Greens are HUNGRY. 90 servings in total and they probably got dessert afterwards too 👀 Ultimately they just love messin with Mitch lol. 10 points goes to whoever remembers him from the OG PPG series!
Sidenote: The first part of this comic was loosely inspired by a scene from Parks and Rec :D
Angsty greens because if butch chooses to leave with brick at the end of MTH nit only will she never forgive him, but buttercup will never forgive herself for letting him in
