wordgirl and two brains have such an indescribable dynamic and it’s great. i’ve seen some people compare it to a father / daughter dynamic but imo steven was not dad material. i think he could have raised that space girl if he really tried, but he’s so young? it just seems like he was at an especially career-focused time in his life that was more about building his own life than starting a family.
in fact, i can see becky and steven as having the potential to approach something more like siblinghood. she’s such a smart and mature girl, and maybe steven was a truly wise and responsible person, but i wouldn’t know. i do know, however, that two brains isn’t. it’s not even that he’s an inherently bad guy. he’s a very sympathetic villain for good reasons! but as it stands, him and wordgirl have this sad rivalry that will probably always remain due to two brain’s condition.
he definitely has his moments of wisdom. they do have their moments of true, uninterrupted peace, but it’s so rare. the dynamic has irreversibly changed, and even if it had father / daughter potential before, i just don’t think that’s possible anymore.
i do see something strange and oddly refreshing with them, though - wordgirl’s attachment to steven may have been the reason she didn’t immediately drop two brains as a friend after his change, but i honestly don’t think that’s the full reason they’re still friends. you could argue that she’s friendly on some level with all the villains. she is! but i think becky cares about dr two brains now, not just steven.
because steven isn’t really coming back. steven as we knew him cannot exist anymore, and she must know that. she cares about two brains, and still thinks of him as a close friend despite the irreparable damage. they're nemesis and it’s all effectively harmless. they’re genuinely concerned with each other’s well being.
wordgirl admired steven and learned everything she knew about heroism from his research. two brains admires wordgirl for being an incredible and selfless person in general. amazingly, it’s like they still trust each other, just with reasonable expectations. it’s not father / daughter and it’s not siblinghood but it’s some kind of family, and it itches my brain just right.
