This man has a PhD.

————

I honestly love how unhinged this man is in the movie. He casually strolls into Jerome Horwitz Elementary, gets a job, immediately clocks Melvin as a suck up teacher's pet, then reveals his evil motive to a classroom of children. He carries around a portable cage in his pocket. He refused the Nobel prize because he was slighted (fair tbh). His first thought when seeing a man-shaped hole in the principle's office was that he'd found the right batshit insane place to use as cover.

What an iconic little maniac. He deserves a spin-off.

-> Introduction to the AU <-

But TL;DR, Five-year-old George Beard gets bumped to the 3rd grade when he first enrolls at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School (as mentioned in Book 9). Due to this, George and Harold never meet in Kindergarten and, as a result, George becomes a sole, anonymous prankster, Harold Hutchins remains a quiet and timid artist, and Melvin Sneedly, witnessing the failures of the American school system via Harold getting bullied, becomes disillusioned with authority and begins inventing recklessly.

Chaos ensues from there!

“He’s got a gunnn 😖”

[warncdandwiles]

@pumpkinhcad liked for a starter!

"It's. MARCH!"

Everybody in Jerome Horwitz Penitentiary Elementary knows that Principal Krupp hated Halloween.

And Christmas. And any holiday in general. Anything that would back up schedules, imply candy was to be had. Students signing petitions to challenge the 'no decorations of any kind' rule and failing. All the hullabaloo.

You could say it was on principle.

He's already irritated about everybody getting decked out in bunny ears and drawing eggs on things too early, when he spies this wise guy toddling along dressed as a pumpkin. There's chaotic happiness in the air, he can smell it, and he will not stand for it, little mister!

Several students duck into their lockers when he points down the hall at the offender,

"You little hoodlum! I don't even allow people to dress up on Halloween!"

[anamericangirl]

If the workers themselves do not directly control the means of production, such as the land and the machines used to produce food and other machines, then it is not a communist society.

If the state does not directly control the means of production, then it is not a socialist society.

If neither the state nor the workers directly own the means of production, but instead the means of production are owned by business owners and share holders, then you have a capitalist society.

These are the basic economic principles that define the difference between socialism, communism, and capitalism.

Now lets look at Nazi economic policy, with key points of interest in bold.

After the Nazis took power, industries were privatized en masse. Several banks, shipyards, railway lines, shipping lines, welfare organizations, and more were privatized. The Nazi government took the stance that enterprises should be in private hands wherever possible. State ownership was to be avoided unless it was absolutely necessary for rearmament or the war effort, and even in those cases "the Reich often insisted on the inclusion in the contract of an option clause according to which the private firm operating the plant was entitled to purchase it." However, the privatization was "applied within a framework of increasing control of the state over the whole economy through regulation and political interference," as laid out in the 1933 Act for the Formation of Compulsory Cartels, which gave the government a role in regulating and controlling the cartels that had been earlier formed in the Weimar Republic under the Cartel Act of 1923. These had mostly regulated themselves from 1923 to 1933.

The month after being appointed Chancellor, Hitler made a personal appeal to German business leaders to help fund the Nazi Party for the crucial months that were to follow. He argued that the experience of Weimar Republic had shown that "'private enterprise cannot be maintained in the age of democracy.' Business was founded above all on the principles of personality and individual leadership. Democracy and liberalism led inevitably to Social Democracy and Communism." In the following weeks, the Nazi Party received contributions from seventeen different business groups, with the largest coming from IG Farben and Deutsche Bank. Many of these businesses continued to support Hitler even during the war and even profited from persecution of the Jews. The most infamous being firms like Krupp, IG Farben, and some large automobile manufacturers. Historian Adam Tooze writes that the leaders of German business were therefore "willing partners in the destruction of political pluralism in Germany." In exchange, owners and managers of German businesses were granted unprecedented powers to control their workforce, collective bargaining was abolished and wages were frozen at a relatively low level. Business profits also rose very rapidly, as did corporate investment.

The Nazis granted millions of marks in credits to private businesses. Many businessmen had friendly relations to the Nazis, most notably with Heinrich Himmler and his Freundeskreis der Wirtschaft. Hitler's administration decreed an October 1937 policy that "dissolved all corporations with a capital under $40,000 and forbade the establishment of new ones with a capital less than $200,000," which swiftly effected the collapse of one-fifth of all small corporations. On July 15, 1933 a law was enacted that imposed compulsory membership in cartels, while by 1934 the Third Reich had mandated a reorganization of all companies and trade associations and formed an alliance with the Nazi regime. Nonetheless, the Nazi regime was able to close most of Germany's stock exchanges, reducing them "from twenty-one to nine in 1935," and "limited the distribution of dividends to 6 percent." By 1936 Germany decreed laws to completely block foreign stock trades by citizens. These moves showed signs of Antisemitism and a move toward a war economy, with the belief that the stock market was being operated by Jews.

From this it is clear to see that Nazi economy does not fit into any of the previous categories of socialist, communist, or capitalist. While the Nazi party started as a greatly capitalist industry, it did eventually move towards more government control, to which it had previously been the antithesis of. However, It also employed Union Busting to stop the expansion of workers rights, much like as occurred in America at the same time, and froze wages, much as America has done these past 20 years. But to say Nazis are socialist, is historically factually incorrect, as many businesses that were privatized continued to thrive unimpeded.

As much as I appreciate your ability to copy and paste from wikipedia, you should know that wikipedia is actually not the definitive source on this issue. It's not like anyone can just go on there and edit it lol. If everything you know comes from wikipedia that explains why you don't know much.

Look, I've already thoroughly responded to all these points and I'm not going to keep having the same argument with people who can only repeat themselves or copy and paste from wikipedia without actually responding to what I say.

You do not understand how "privatization" worked in Nazi Germany but you should do some reading about it. You can read the wikipedia page on the term "Gleichschaltung" to get you started.

Anyway, your privately owned business isn't really privately owned if it has to follow certain rules set by the regime and can be shut down by them if you don't support them or break their rules.

It's historically factual to say the Nazis were socialist because they were and you only having the understanding of the different economic systems that don't go any deeper than a google definition and not knowing how "privatization" worked in Nazi Germany and the fact that you can't discuss this issue if you can't copy/paste your entire argument from wikipedia hardly makes a case against that fact.

Only people who are liars or historically ignorant say the Nazis weren't socialists.

The foreign free-thinking critics have tried in a delicate manner, without being offensive to me, to give the impression that my conviction that mankind could be guided by such a naive doctrine as that of the Sermon on the Mount proceeds from two causes: that such a conviction is partly due to my want of knowledge, my ignorance of history, my ignorance of all the vain attempts to apply the principles of the Sermon on the Mount to life, which have been made in history and have led to nothing; and that it is partly due to my failing to appreciate the full value of the lofty civilization to which mankind has attained at present, with its Krupp cannons, smokeless powder, colonization of Africa, Irish Coercion Bill, parliamentary government, journalism, strikes, and the Eiffel Tower.

May I request a small fanfic with Harold and Heidi sibling fluff?

Sure thing although I'm very bad at writing and I might end up making it terrible-- it may be rushed or poorly made so. I apologize if I wrote the fanfic terribly.

🌸||꒷꒦︶🧁︶︶꒷꒦︶∪∪︶꒷꒦︶︶🧁︶꒷꒦||🌸

ੈ✩‧₊˚ Ms. Kitty ✧.*

🩷 • Summary: Heidi took her favorite stuffed animal to school and accidentally lost it. Luckily Harold found the stuffed animal for her.

🍰 • Total words: 1,491 (?)

🍓 • Warning: cringe writing, terrible grammar, etc.

It was a good Monday, Harold woke up around 6:40 and headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth and change. However, he didn't sleep well for some odd reason, but he shrugged as he looked at the mirror. He began washing his face and head to his room to organize his backpack.

Meanwhile, he was hearing his sister talking in her room. Harold slowly opened the door to check what she was doing.

His sister was talking to her favorite stuffed animal, "Ms. Kitty".

Heidi places the cat plush on her bed, facing away from her.

Heidi: "Okay Ms. Kitty, I'm ready to take you to school--"

Heidi paused for a moment, waiting for a response from the stuffed cat.

A beat of silence

Heidi: "Of course, it's gonna be fun, Ms. Kitty!”

The plush seems to stare, questioning the girl.

Heidi: "Come on, I'm very sure the school isn't that bad."

Harold walked into the room with confusion.

Harold: "Heidi what are you doing?? You're supposed to get ready for school."

Heidi: "Sowwy. I just wanna take Ms. Kitty with me." She replied, holding her stuffed cat.

Harold: "I don't think you're allowed to bring toys to school," he said. "Do you remember what happened last week when you took my water gun without my permission and got caught using it?"

His sister started to remember it. It was fun shooting the kids with water and getting wet from all that water shooting but unfortunately, Mr. Krupp wasn't happy with Heidi's behavior and took the water gun away from her as a punishment.

Why of course Heidi was too young to understand the school rules especially because she's in kindergarten and doesn't know how strict the principal is.

Heidi nodded her head.

Heidi: "Yeah I remember! That principle was a meanie!"

Harold: "Heidi..."

Heidi: "Oh oh! Momma is making breakfast! Let's go Ms. Kitty!"

She ran out of the room with her stuffed animal, leaving Harold behind.

Harold sighed and when downstairs before he gets ready to leave the house.

----- [ 🍓 ] -----

Few minutes passed and they finally went inside the school. After all, Harold needed to go inside the classroom before the bell rings. Heidi was still holding her stuffed cat with her.

Her brother looked at her making sure she doesn't do anything stupid like last time. He stopped walking once he found her classroom and glanced his sister.

Harold: "Hey Heidi, you don't mind if I keep your plushie with me?" He asked.

Heidi: "No," she said.

Harold: "But you're gonna end up losing your plushie if you get caught playing with it!" He explained.

Heidi hugged her stuffed animal tightly, refusing to listen to Harold.

Heidi: "Hmph.."

Harold: "You don't wanna lose her, right? Just give me Ms. Kitty and I promise I'm gonna take care of her."

Heidi: "No!"

She shook her head.

Harold couldn't blame her though, she's only younger than him, and well...she is still learning. Harold crossed his arms, thinking if it was a good idea to let her keep Ms. Kitty but he had no choice but to let her keep the stuffed animal.

Harold: "Alright. Do what you want, I can't stop you. But please do NOT leave your plushie alone." He said.

Heidi: "Yay!"

Harold: "Just make sure to keep her inside your backpack or somewhere hidden."

Unfortunately, his sister already went to class without letting her brother finish talking. Harold rolled his eyes, knowing how she is whenever she doesn't wanna listen to him.

'Girls these days...'

he said to himself as he went to his classroom, hoping his best friend George is there too. Probably hoping the day goes fast like last Friday.

----- [ 🍓 ] -----

Finally, it was 2:59 PM and the kids were getting ready to get their stuff to return home.

Harold and George were walking to their lockers and holding their comics.

George: "I cannot believe we just earn 20 dollars for selling these comics!" He said with a smile.

Harold wasn't paying attention lately. He has been worried about something. George quickly noticed that.

George: "Harold?"

Harold: "O-oh yeah I'm listening." He replied.

George: "Dude you have been worried since morning. What's bothering you?"

Harold: "I don't know man! I don't like being too protective around Heidi. She has been obsessed with that stuffed animal ever since my mom brought that on her birthday. It's weird."

George: "Ohhh. That toy? Oh jeez man, trust me all the girls are obsessed with that thing. It's so annoying." He said while he was packing his backpack.

Harold: "Really? No wonder why I couldn't sleep well. She has been singing that same music over and over!"

His friend wasn't wrong. Probably most girls like stuff like those nowadays, you know the generation is always changing, what else could we say?

Speaking of Heidi and her "obsession" with Ms. Kitty, Harold just found out he completely forgot to pick up his sister from kindergarten.

Harold: "Oh shoot! I forgot I have to pick Heidi from kindergarten!"

George: "Don't worry man, I'm sure you don't mind if I help you out, right?"

Harold: "Oh sure thanks."

The boys went to the kindergarten where Harold left Heidi in the morning. He noticed his sister isn't outside of her classroom. This is odd because Heidi would always stand outside to wait for her big brother to show up and pick her up. Harold opened the door, the classroom was empty. Turns out all the kindergarteners left except for Heidi who was sitting on the carpet all alone with her backpack.

Harold: "Heidi?" He said, being outside of the classroom waiting for her to come out

Heidi slowly stood up, walking over to the open door while fidgeting with her hands. Harold saw her sister, who came out of her classroom all gloomy. Her face was puffy, cheek stained with tears, hiccuping, sniffling, and trying to catch her breath.

The big brother began crouching to face his sister. He was very concerned.

Harold: "Heidi? What happened?"

The soft tone and genuine concern Harold was showing only made Heidi more sad, making her only tear up more.

At this point, George had turned his concern toward Heidi too.

Harold: "Is something upsetting you? Do you want to go home?"

Heidi could only shake her head as she hiccuped out a little sob.

Harold: "No? Then what's wrong?"

It was difficult for Harold to understand her, but Heidi finally got herself to speak.

Heidi: "I lost Ms. Kitty and-- I can't find her!" She said, still crying.

Harold: "Ms. Kitty???"

At first, he thought it was a real animal until he began realizing Heidi was referring to her favorite stuffed animal.

Harold: "O-ohh...is that why you seem all sad?"

Heidi nodded, wiping her tears with her arms although more just came pouring out. Harold sighed.

Harold: "This is exactly what I meant when I said do NOT bring your plushie to school..."

Heidi: "But I just wanted to play with Ms. Kitty! I want Ms. Kitty back! Im sowwy..!"

Harold: "Shh it's okay calm down."

Harold rubbed his sister's back, trying to get her crying to slow down.

Heidi: "mm..."

Heidi soon stopped crying and Harold sit her down next to George. Which yeah. There was a bench in the hallway next to the other classroom.

Harold: "I'll go find Ms. Kitty, okay? Just stay with George."

He went all around the school to find his sister's favorite stuffed animal, especially around the hallways.

He checked Krupp's office, he checked the trashcans, the bathrooms, the staffroom, under the tables, entering every classroom to check, everywhere. No stuffed animal were spotted.

It was very stressful for Harold but he then realized he forgot to check the playground. He went behind the school where the playroom was. It was very empty as an unfilled tank. Harold started to go around the playground to find it, eventually the stuffed animal was inside of the slide.

He sighed, grabbing it and walking back to were he left Heidi and George.

Harold: "Look who I found!"

Harold smiled as he give Heidi her favorite stuffed animal.

Heidi: "Yay! Ms. Kitty! Thanks bwig bwouther!"

She began hugging Ms. Kitty, George glanced at his friend.

George: "Wow man...she is obsessed with that plushie huh?"

Harold: "I can't blame her though. That's her favorite."

George: "yeeaahh..." he said awkwardly. "So wanna go buy ice cream? I think the ice cream store is open until 10."

Harold: "Sure thing!"

Heidi: "yey! Bwig bwouther can Ms. Kitty go with us?"

Harold softly smiles at her.

Harold: "Sure thing" He nodded his head.

Heidi: "Yipee-"

Harold was holding Heidi's hand gently.

The three of them went out of the school and headed to the ice cream store. Finally a normal day. Heidi learned her small lesson and tried her best to keep her stuff safe even tho her brother will always help her find stuff.

What a ruckus!

That's the end of the Invention Convention though the arc is technically still going! I was really dreading doing this part even though it was so short because of all the kids and inventions I'd have to make up.

It wasn't that bad, but I don't wanna linger on it. Polishing up these sketches has been a pain though, and they're supposed to be sketches. I hope you'll forgive the actual disaster part being kinda glossed over, I think there's enough to imply the event was ruined.

In both the movie and the book(s), the Invention Convention really is just a plot device to get the boys in MEGA trouble. I'm more excited for the aftermath!

(P.S. George didn't actually sabotage any of the inventions, but that doesn't mean he's getting away scott free!)

Question for mr krupp hows edith and do u like being a principle just wondering???

Btw, this part is for the second question

And for the first question

I wish I could make this part a gif but idk how ;-;

[infini-tree]

Hope you don't mind me whamming you with Multiple Characters for the ask meme, but if you have received other asks covering some of these then that would lessen it a bit, right??? XD Alright: Cap + 16, Sam + 18, and 32 for THREE different characters: Oogway, Soothsayer and Krupp. We can also throw in Cap as a fourth for good measure. Optional bonus questions: Soothsayer + 29, and Horton + 25. Okay we're done, hope that wasn't too much XD. They're fun questions I got curious ahaha

honest favorite character asks

16. Have you ever cried when thinking about this character? Genuinely? (captain)

is it bad if i say no? emotional anguish, yes, but i don't think i've genuinely physically tears-on-my-face cried. in fairness, a lot of the emotional anguish comes from me putting him through the Horrors (tm).

its kind of like tickling yourself-- you already know you're doing it, so you don't laugh. its the same principle (ha) here. i know what i'm putting captain through and sticky notes au was never meant to be a tragedy so much as a long-form character exploration. its probably why i feel confused about people considering this au is dark,

18. Do you prefer to see this character suffer or know peace? Angst or comfort? Both? (sam)

on the one hand i think sam deserves the stability he never got growing up with no mom/as a thief. i think him being the Weird Uncle to EB and her new little brother would be really sweet, considering his orphaned past. the man would spoil them so badly.

plus him and pam need to catch up and figure out how to be a mother and son together in less stressful times (i know there's an episode that speedruns that but again. that still had the underlying threat of the whole moo-lacka-moo conflict)

on the other hand, i think sam has one more in him to go through the Seussian Horrors. they figure out their world is on a speck of dust and have to catch horton's attention but he's been captured by the circus mcgurkus? a season that pays homage to seuss' dark paintings? the cat in the hat is there? i don't know man

32. If you could make this character a meal, what would you make them? (oogway, soothsayer, krupp, cap)

ok, here's the thing. i am not adept in the kitchen, but lets also add the additional caveat that this is a scenario in which i can cook and also have the resources for this theoretical scenario.

additionally, the food mentioned would still have to be food i'm aware of prior to this, so i just can't go completely out of pocket in this theoretical scenario.

oogway: some sort of waffle (vegan) and a fruit smoothie/juice.

i don't think oogway eats... like, a lot. comes with the territory of meditating (and tortoise metabolism). so something with a smaller portion may be more appropriate-- it'd still be a lot by his standards, lol.

really my thought process starts and ends with i think giving him a breakfast food would be nice. could even arrange some fruits around to make the waffle look like a little turtle.

(i'm specifying vegan here because eating things with milk or eggs/meat is probably weird or just straight up taboo in the kfp-verse. note also applies to soothsayer too.)

soothsayer: some kind of vegan tacos (spicy), espresso.

ok i imagine her usually eating fancy a lot of the time anyway, so something much more casual then? i imagine it being a bit overstuffed with a soft shell-- she tries eating it and part of the insides fall onto the plate on the other side, that sort of thing. its spicy because i think she'd like spicy food.

espresso because. i think she needs it.

krupp: one (1) tv dinner. Some Sort Of Soup (butternut?) and a slice of brownie.

ok, for real, he's the one that NEEDS something homecooked out of all these characters. something filling, but easy to have a lot of and have leftovers of for in the oncoming week. soup, of course is the obvious answer. my butternut squash soup bias is coming through, but really any thicker soup will do. he'd be able to customize it a bit further as he needs to with salt/pepper/green onions and maybe grab some crackers if he's so inclined.

my brownie bias is also coming through. it won't be as sweet, but its still pretty rich. again, ease of leftovers is a priority here as you an just make a tray of it, cut it into portions and put it in the freezer. imo, it tastes better like that because now its just ultra dense and fudge-y and cold.

cap: something like palabok? (though, with substitutions to the shrimp and pork if that's the case) and halo-halo.

the name of the game here is novelty and having him try something new-- stuff that wasn't mentioned by the comics or his sidekicks or could be offered by the aforementioned. i've mentioned things like sushi and i've always thought he'd enjoy tiramisu here and here, but in terms of making i was thinking some sort of noodle? my brain keeps going back to palabok (i think he'd appreciate how bright orange it can get), but that's not kosher hence the point about substitution.

halo-halo is fun and colorful. lots of textures. some of the elements separately are familiar (the shaved ice and the gelatin) but the stuff he'd associate with more savory food (beans and corn) would be a surprise.

29. Do you affectionately bully this character? (soothsayer)

no, that's what oogway is for /j

25. What kind of fan-fiction do you read about this character? If you don’t read fan-fics about them, why not? (horton)

i don't because there isn't a lot?

ok i may be exaggerating, there has to be some fanfics that popped up as a result of the 2008 movie, but frankly i don't feel like trawling through what i can only assume is an overabundance of jo-jo fics. and the version of horton in my head is so specific on account of picking and choosing parts of everything he's been in, so i feel like nothing will satisfy me.

that being said, i do remember a story-- not a fic, but a fancomic set post-canon to the events of 2008, where the who scientist lady made a device to make the mayor big enough to be visible and actually interact with horton. cue shennanigans once he realizes that he doesn't have the creature comforts of whoville on account of being in the middle of a jungle. and also there's a jaguar oc who wants to eat the mayor. it was cool! at least kid me thought so.

[something-in-your-walls]

I’m sorry your AU is like brainrotting me so hard I- 💥💥💥💥

Anyway remember when Melvin and Krupp swap bodies in the 6 books?

I’m just imagining that if that happens here Krupp would feel the tiredness of Melvin and it would be like:

K: “I feel like I haven’t had sleep in years!! How do you live like this??”

M: “What? I thought you’d be used to feeling like being a principle and all.”

K: “NO?? sure sometimes I stay up late for paperwork but this is just absurd!! When was the last time you gotten a GOOD nights sleep?”

M: “Uhhh…”

I have no idea I’m sorry moot this AU is just 🔥🔥🔥/pos

no no no it's totally fine! Now i have someone to rant to :) anyways yeah you're so right moot bro needs sleep if his deadbeat principal is yelling at him about it

[justalittleegg]

Why the absolute frickity frack is a post about Principle Krupp from the hit film Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie featuring an original theme song by Weird Al on my dash?

the very Cap-like smile Krupp does when thinking about Edith......

[sketch-twentytwo]

I really enjoy drawing Krupp in the Pilkey style but I figure he needs a slightly more fleshed out design to pair with the boys.

My interpretation of Benjamin Krupp comes from the movie's characterization of him: strict, competent, and sad. Book Krupp is cartoonishly evil and TV Show Krupp (to my knowledge) is cartoonishly evil and incompetent (my friend said that he canonically cannot count or something????).

Movie Krupp is an unhappy fellow, but I never felt like he was a totally evil school principle. Sure, he cut funding to the music and arts program and yeah, the atmosphere around JHE was gloomy and oppressive (in the kids POV mind you), but it seemed like the priority was still on the kids education.

He separated George and Harold due to their shenanigans, mostly as a punishment, but that's kinda what happens when two kids are disruptive in a class; they get moved to different homerooms and aren't seated next to each other.

He also doesn't deal out punishments like detention or suspensions all willy-nilly, he waits until he has solid proof before dealing G+H their consequences. He even gives Melvin his "extra credit" which I found kind of endearing. Obviously the extra credit thing didn't mean anything to anyone except for Melvin, but Krupp still humored the kid and didn't lash out or get annoyed. IDK, that moment warmed my heart a lil.

SO, TL;DR, my characterization of Benjamin Krupp follows this mindset: he's an unhappy guy who is strict on students, but he's not unnecessarily cruel. I do think he likes to "threaten" George and Harold with detentions and separation and the like, but for all they've antagonized him, it's kinda like a bit at that point.

Certainly he is not a flawless man, but he is a man who is about to have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
