So I like dadbrain but I also obviously don't want to discredit the Botsfords so I think I have an idea.

The Botsfords are still Becky's parents

Twobrain is specifically Wordgirls legal guardian / parent (not Becky's) when he was Steven. It helped with keeping her identities seperate and secret. You know Becky can't be Wordgirl because Wordgirls dad is Steven not the Botsfords. Becky and Steven planned it when she created her wordgirl persona and Steven was honored when she asked if he wanted to be the "parent" of her hero persona.

Steven has some parental protective instincts over Wordgirl but he's treated more like a mentor and friend. He makes sure not to overstep and is just glad he gets to play a important role. He does enjoy acting like a parent when he can and plays his role. And some of those do carry onto Two brains, though maybe twobrains thinks he's actually word girls parent... If he's forgotten who Wordgirls true identity is. If he does remember Wordgirls identity then he's still playing his role and not telling anyone else who Wordgirls real identity is.

Wordgirl Rewired fact: DTB and Tobey probably have movie nights when Mrs. McCallister has to work especially late and DTB is stuck watching this problem child for longer than he’d planned

depending on the day they will either watch Ratatouille like three times in a row (much to Tobey’s chagrin), or a bunch of Barbie movies (neither of them will admit they enjoy it, and the only reason DTB has them is because the henchmen used to watch them)

We need you 🫵 to help us bring this reboot to life. Click here if you’re interested in being an artist for this project (don’t worry, it’s b&w animatics, not full animation)

Have some doodles of the copy shop family while you’re at it

He didn't know what compelled him to start dressing up as Dr. Two-Brains. Technically he already was dressing up the same as his villainous self as his choice of outfits stayed the same throughout this whole time. Even Squeaky couldn't influence him that drastically, he didn't need to though. All that mouse wanted was to steal cheese and gorge himself on the stuff. The mere thought of cheese was honestly enough to make him gag on the spot. Steven kept staring at himself within the mirror. He had crafted a wig just for this purpose. As his hair was now a mixture of brown and white. This wig he crafted was identical to what his hair once looked like. With one small addition he made to it. The mouse brain. Whenever he did this, it made his soul feel much lighter. He knew there was some psychological reason but he didn't want to get into that. The man didn't want anyone to see this secret shame of his. Steven finally tore his eyes from the full length mirror, grabbing a vital piece of the puzzle that completed its picture. His goop ray. It was one of the few items he couldn't bring himself to get rid of. Of course Becky was clueless to all of this. Steven kept it a secret from her. He dreaded the thought of his daughter seeing him reenact his old persona. He never wanted to see the look of fear in her eyes ever again. His memories of being Dr.Two-Brains were fuzzy. He couldn't fully remember some things yet the look Becky had was burned into his memory. That memory was clear as day,Steven frowned, feeling shame as he recalled the first few days of his transformation into the mad scientist. If he was honest, he was always a mad scientist but he wasn't villainous. Not until Squeaky. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts, he didn't notice the door open. A small gasp caught his attention. Becky had come back earlier than expected. She stood there with wide eyes. Covering her mouth with her hand. "Dad?"

Uh oh. Steven my man you got caught!

also this Steven thinking: Play dumb. Steven: Who's dad? Steven thinking: Not that dumb. In all seriousness. I love this so much. Oof poor Steven. Poor Becky. @erraticeris @melodythebunny

Daw dadbrains. Canon accepted

This is canon in my heart btw. Becky HAS called him dad on accident like you would call a teacher because they used to be friends etc etc

Oh yeah I like wordgirl now by the way. Prepare for tobecky I like tobecky a lot :)

[animation-is-my-jam]

how do you feel about people who think tobey should be taken in by dtb or the botsfords or just forget he has a mum?

I think they're all cowards and stupid.

When people say they want complicated female characters but they can't handle a flawed mother who they now deem as irredeemably abusive....What I am talking about this fandom can't even handle Becky when she's mean to Tobey (as she should be).

[evaiskindaweird]

what's your wordgirl hot take ❓❓ 🫵🫵

Wordgirl shouldn't have another resurgence because it'd be 2022 all over agian

[nosferatufaggot]

You guys have Dadbrains. I have "Tim and Sally adopt Eileen halfway through the show and now Becky and Eileen are sisters." We are NOT the same.

......but we could be.

looking back on this with the creation of the mousebraingirl au

hello there so for context there’s this au within the dadbrains au where Becky gets fused with Squeaky instead, and even though i’ve never watched full metal alchemist, my friend explained to me the story behind

And I just wanna say that we can use this for the mousegirl au. We can make it sadder and worse

[they-call-me-the-wordgirler]

hi wordgirl fandom. as my first contribution i'd like to give a series of screenshots from me and @loes-lowdowns' dms where we go insane about dadbrains

neither of us has watched past season 1, btw.

[random-bi-writer]

if you were to rewrite wordgirl what would you change

I think I would have liked the show better if Becky and Bob didn't get adopted by the Botsfords until the series finale.

I would have write the prologue about Bob deciding to raise Becky on his own cause he's not sure how humans will react to her powers.

But being a monkey can only get him so far and he ended up getting help from Steven.

So Bob is still Becky's guardian, but Steven helps with the money so he's either an uncle to Becky or her second dad.

and then everything went wrong because of Squeaky.

The Dadbrains au make so much sense with this.

So now it's back to square one, except Becky has abandonment issues now along with trust issues because the city keeps stabbing her in the back.

Enter, Sally Botsford, the civilian that Wordgirl has the closest relationship with. They often worked together and are the only people with braincells among their coworkers.

They were friends at the start, but then it evolved to something more familial when Miss Power arrives.

Miss Power didn't accept how Becky does her work but Sally does. And Becky is starting to appreciate that.

So the perfect series finale for this is Becky getting adopted by the Botsfords.

More wordgirl doodles! I really like to think Becky has some more alien attributes that she hides in order to look normal, even as a superhero :]

Also more dadbrains and tobecky. Because they're my favorites! I just. I love them a lot. I like to think Becky sees her villains like family,,, I like thinking about The Implications.

In future AU, what is Two brains relationship with Wordgirl now? Is he sad that's she's growing up? Not just in teen years but after that. Are they in contact?

Oh! Coolio! A Two-brains future au ask. Weirdly, i don't get much of those. Thanks for the ask!

As for that. It's kind of bittersweet with them. They obviously are more friendlier in Future AU, and a shift in them not really taking their roles too seriously. Two-brains is going through it with the mouse brain, and he has his whole separate storyline about it, which does include Wordgirl, who learns to let Steven go. (Sorry, Steven fans, he's practically dead in the future). Other than that, yeah, I would say he's sad on her growing up. While I don't do dadbrains with WG/Becky in this AU, he still probably has some thoughts about seeing her grow up too fast in his eyes and that soon she will most likely have better things to do than fight villians like them. Two-brains is smart, and he knows Wordgirl well enough now since the 7-year time skip. He knows that at this point that she won't be Wordgirl for too long, and that does sadden him like the other villains (it won't be fun as it would without her) but he's accepted it more than others and just wishes her the best. ↓ ↓ ↓

Past her teen years, though. As expected, they don't really have much contact. Wordgirl effectively retired when she's older and "has not been seen in years," so it's not like she can just visit Two-brains. That would cause a media frenzy. But texing is a thing, so it's not too much of a problem to at least shoot some short messages. But Two-brains does know that she is Becky. She sorta soft revealed that information after she retired to him as some last form of trust. Two-brains, while he knows it would be a golden chance to expose it, decided to keep it a secret. After all, he's mellowed out on being too evil by that point, being a dad to two lab babies and aging. Plus, he doesn't think it's relevant anyway. He is only just a bit salty he couldn't figure it out in his prime (lol no one tell him). Oh, and he would owe Lady Redundant Woman and Butcher so much money since Tobey technically did end up with Wordgirl. That betting pool was not in his favor, so like hell is he going to tell people.

valerie best randoms

despite all the encouragement and peer pressure around her to become a villain, Valerie really wants to be a superhero. she's really trying to impress Wordgirl and find any inkling of a superpower she can use.

she's best friends with Dr. Two-Brains (the dadbrains is back--)

she and Fruit Bat have a brother/sister relationship. he is totally the chaotic older brother who takes his little sister out for mcdonalds without permission.

when Penelope went to enroll Valerie in school, she didn't want to say her last name because 'Best' can easily be traced back to her parents, and so (unaware of Cori and Kyle's existence) Penelope quickly says that Valerie's last name is Worst.

twobrains: hahahaha this time you can't stop me wordgirl, wait, why do you look like you're sick?

wordgirl: achoo!,it's just a cold, but that won't stop me from stopping your evil plans

twobrains: oh no, I'm not going to fight you in that state, go back to bed and rest until you recover, I'll make my evil plans another day

wordgirl(confused): ehhh, ok?
