#ppg/rrb

[teacupballerina]

Okay but Blossom whispering ‘no one asks if we consent with the rowdy ruff boys is so real (and I ship Blossick)’ like I’ve read so many fan fictions where the boys basically manhandle and SA the girls. But that’s fine because boys will be boys

Well, it’s also a jab at ME, because I HAVE drawn and written some crazy Akubloss in my life. There are some dubcon and even noncon type stories hidden in that ship, but that’s the nature of shipping. You want to see every dynamic possible of your OTP even the fucked up ones.

Put a big answer under the cut.

I’ve come to understand PPG/RRB as a litmus test for how one views sexual dynamics, because it’s so broad and generic and the RRB are so flat that they typically end up changed for fics to suit the author’s taste.

For example, in my case, I don’t really care for ppg/rrb but I will tolerate or even draw Bubboomer or Brickercup because those dynamics are things I like. I already have a preferred match for Blossom. I don’t mind the shippers as long as they aren’t hateful to others over having different ships. In real life I don't really care to mingle with men but will tolerate them as desired, as long as they aren’t assholes, because I’ve been hurt. The girls might begin to feel the same way, because who hurts them the most if not men? 

But, the nature of our existence requires compromising with men. We’re here on this planet to learn to get along with each other. That doesn’t mean you absolutely have to have a relationship. It just means we need a balance of masculine and feminine energies for the world to be able to function. 

The stories/fics that are indistinguishable from the typical romance novel/female fantasy is indicative that the author is a normal girl. The most common fantasy of women, the oldest trick in our books, is taming the beast. The beast is both the man and the female desire for the man. You can find it in The Epic of Gilgamesh for god’s sake. The “unsavory” elements are quite literally the entire reason fantasy is fantasy. It’s a safe place to explore those concepts, and if you need to interpret things through characters you love because it feels safer that way, all the better. 

The thing about Aku is that he is Brick. Like actually. A red eyed, red haired DEMON; boastful, arrogant, aggressive, domineering, can be dumb as a rock. He was defeated once and brought back. The typical story is that he just shows up in Townsville one day and eventually kills Blossom in some way, whether literally or metaphorically. He can become a giant. He’s about as emotionally mature as a five year old. He’s dry-humored, calls out wrestler titles for himself and is even associated with dogs. And he explodes when he dies. “Explode”. What else explodes?

And yet. Aku is not Brick. He’s presented as intellectually intelligent. Cunning. He’s shown as possessing the fire breath people want to give Brick [that the girls already have]. 

The typical fanon Brick–a smart, cold, commanding leader who breathes fire and sweeps Blossom off her feet with inappropriate flirtation–is what Aku already is. Literally, in canon, in Super Secret Crisis War, he is the smart, cold, commanding leader of all the big villains (even Mojo!), he breathes fire, and he calls Blossom terms of endangerment until Buttercup swoops in with laser eyes.

Aku’s weakness is not his masculinity, it’s love. And he is the monster the girls truly cannot decisively defeat [in one episode].

In crossovers, Aku is presented as Chemical X–literally already a part of Blossom–and Brick may look like Blossom, but his primary element is monkey shit. Radioactive, chemical-x tainted monkey shit, yes. But Brick is still a brick of talking shit that Mojo flings at the girls. Then the devil becomes his father once kisses start making him bigger. That's not to say I hate the guy. He's like a mini Aku! But, why take the free trial when the full version is hunting you down?

Brick is the sanitized version of Aku. A safer, dumbed down forewarning of what is to come for the girls. It’s no coincidence that Him resurrected them as Aku was resurrected. It’s just another parallel to help the girls understand exactly how to defeat Aku, and by extension all men:

He will not be bested in physical combat. Shrink him down, give him affection, and wear his ass out with plenty of new toys, and you will receive a loyal pet and protector.

Aku represents the cosmic horror of what Brick and the Rowdyruff boys REALLY are when all the child-friendly stuff is stripped away. The chthonic masculine, the darkest and most destructive element of man. Mars, Saturn, Pluto. The devil. The darkness. THE SHADOW.

I think someone even wrote a fanfic about it.

Happy New Year!

Inspired heavenly by „Sonny Boy” OST cover.

Disclaimer:

I didn’t watch the anime. I dunno what’s about. I was just inspired by cover. I don’t know too if I used correctly translation of RRB name in Japanese. I just find this on internet to much PPG version.

Just wanted to say happy birthday to my Girls

🩵🩷💚

Bonus: I tried doodling from the Multiversus 3D models of the boys and girls, they look translated good to 3D, the ppg’s design does not work in 3D but whoever did it was clever, that is how you do it
