Toon Buffoon

Garbage Ao3 Author who is a giant nerd for old animation

[cartoon-buffoon]

BIO/INFO LIST!

Here's some stuff about me Cartoon Buffoon aswell as other things if you wanna know before following or anything.

Who am I?

Hello! I'm Cartoon Buffoon and I write stuff, draw and watch cartoons, there's a chance you've could've of read one of my works if you read one shots on AO3 that feature Oswald The Lucky Rabbit since I have a tendency to write content relating to the rabbit yet I do delve in other fandoms. I love old animation from the 1920s-60s yet I also do indulge in more modern stuff as well, I'm a buffoon for cartoons as my name implies.

Identity

Things I'm into/fandoms I'm in.

I'm AroAce and the type who's attraction is reserved for fictional characters so you'll often see me simping for them. My gender is uhh... Complicated? I don't know what I am although I currently identify as gender fluid although I do refer to myself as trans as well🏳️‍⚧️. Pronouns are He/She/They/anything else really! Toon is usually the nickname I'm most comfortable with online yet you may also call me Toon Buffoon or TB for short.

My interests lie in old cartoons however I do dabble in other stuff, my interest and hyperfixations go in the following order:

—In The Dark comics/Skitzo the 1920s killer bear

—Oswald the lucky rabbit

—Felix the cat

—Fleischer's cartoons

—Rubberhose animation in general

—the furry fandom

—Trevor Henderson's creations

—FNAF

—FNF/Newgrounds and it's culture in general

—Sonic The Hedgehog

—Sonic.exe/creepypastas in general

and some other stuff although I can't really think of more currently yet those are my TOP interests

Hobbies

Although I'm horrible at all these things I do enjoy the following activities

—Writing fanfiction

—Drawing

—collecting plushies

—over analyzing media

DNI LIST

Gonna make a DNI list because I don't wanna interact with weirdos. Pretty basic list as well, if you're a weirdo like a:

—pr*shippers

—Z**philes, p*dophile

Final notes:

Please leave me alone. I also do not tolerate hate speech or bigotry so if you have any racist, homophobic, or antisemitic beliefs please do not interact.

First and foremost I'm neurodivergent and have a whole list of mental issues including crippling anxiety so if you see me blindly liking your posts that's just me really liking your art and being too scared to interact in any other way. Be a tad bit patient with me if you at any point try and message me as well... I take a bit to get the courage to respond. I should also note I'm a multishipper and a giant simp for fictional cartoon characters (self-shipper to put it bluntly). Anything that's black and white and has that rubberhose aesthetic is probably a character I'm attracted too although I won't really talk about that much. There's other characters of course yet more often than not you'll see me liking toons. Expect really anything from this account as I just do whatever when I'm bored, idk I don't got a life. More often than not though I'll be focusing on creating content for my favorite characters weather it's my using my bad art skills to draw or writing fanfiction about them.

To sum myself up: I'm mainly a lover of the obscure or forgotten while trying to create works or content to bring attention to my favorite things while also just trying to keep myself together physically and mentally. If you ever wanna reach out, message, or ask something of me for whatever reason: go ahead? No promises I'll respond as I may just break down at the thought of responding but as long as you aren't weird about anything I'll reply with the kindness and respect people deserve. We're all strangers online as such I try to be polite as a common courtesy and I can only hope you do the same.

Day 4 of toons I think are queer, today featuring not a proper toon, but a horror toon: The Cartoon Cat!

The Cartoon Cat—for all the normal toon fans—is an eldtritch abomination that chooses to resemble that of a Cartoon Cat and as an eldtritch abomination it technically is agender and thus non-binary as it inherently has no gender, however I'll go a step farther. CC's creator, Trevor Henderson, has stated that the body it has is merely one vessel and it has had others in the past and most likely more in the future as it manifests via nostalgia and that's what it sorta feeds on before coming to life to feed on people. I find this really odd when you consider very few have nostalgia for the cartoons of the 1930s since ya know... Everyone who was alive enough to see those cartoons when they premiered in theaters is either dead or is right on death's door. I don't think nostalgia for old cartoon characters is high enough to have a monster manifest from anything and while sure many people like the aesthetic of old cartoons it's stated to specifically prey on nostalgia, thus it's body is outdated yet it still uses it to hunt and kill meaning it clearly LIKES its body.

This is where I'd say I hc the cartoon cat as trans as it itself is a sorta trans allegory, it's a creature that rejects its true form in order to be something else, something of its choosing and something that appeals to it personally. I think the whole "preys on nostalgia thing" is more or less how it first manifested into the real world and from then on there it's become acclimated to its form and refuses to let it go.

[cartoon-buffoon]

Ya know, if someone makes a self insert that objectively isn't good person and isn't sympathetic or tragic yet the narrative tries REALLY hard to make them seek sympathetic or tragic yet that self insert remains neither sympathetic nor tragic, I wonder what that says about the person the self insert is based off of.

It's almost like that person isn't a good person at all....

[cartoon-buffoon]

Day 3 of pride and posting characters I think are queer—with today being a character that's ACTUALLY queer, Krazy Kat!

For the uninformed Krazy is canonically genderfluid and likewise non-binary with the very beginning of the comic had them be referenced to being male with it later changing and then if I recall going back before being just completely ambiguous with no actual answer on what they are as there would be counteractive pronouns within same sentences when referencing Krazy. George Herriman designed Krazy as a quote on quote "sprite" with him stating Krazy is inherently genderless and yk, there wasn't a term for nonbinary back then but with the labels we have now Krazy fits the nonbinary label perfectly.

As for personal hcs, I see Krazy is afab with them being more masc presenting looks wise but still having a lot of feminity to them in regards to stuff like their voice and mannerisms. I can't see them as nothing but absolutely androgynous to the point you couldn't get a good read on what they are but Krazy themselves doesn't mind whatever people wanna call them.

ya’ll look who I saw at the pride parade today Dreamworks are gonna KILL them😭

[cartoon-buffoon]

I missed yesterday but I'll try and do one rn and one later today, but for day 2 of toons I think are queer:

Felix is queer, 110%. More specifically bisexual with both sexual and romantic interest leaning harder towards woman but still very much likes men. This one is less of a hc as we see him instantly kiss that fox toon who looks relatively masculine designed for a toon, not to mention in comics I've seen people mention he's also very friendly with other men too. There's also the joke in the 50s show of Felix being called gay and the entirety of the Van Buren shorts being the "Rainbow parade productions". Felix has one too many strike outs to be straight.

[cartoon-buffoon]

You said mouse pi for hire didn't utilized cartoon aspects as much, but at least mouse actually utilized cartoon aspects unlike bendy which did pretty much nothing with it's cartoon aspects

I think it's because Bendy and Mouse P.I. are two very different games going for very different things and I really don't think Mouse P.I. not using the cartoon aspect too much served it well. I wanna clarify that when I made that post I wasn't talking about Mouse P.I. NOT being a cartoon, it very much is with the aesthetic and art style, it's just in terms of story, tone, and to an extent gameplay it's wayyyy more influenced by noir films and shows.

As for Bendy, I hear that complaint a lot but I truthfully don't think what they were going for was trying to make cartoon horror as a giant aspect of Bendy is the fact that it takes place in the studio with a story revolving around the studio's fall and the horrible treatment of everyone within by Joey. A big emphasis and as shown by the ink Demon itself, the attempt to bring cartoons to life failed and just about every ink creature in the cycle is a failed product of that and they all looked fucked up.

With Bendy and the cage coming out and the showcase of creatures called "duds" I really hope we get more monsters based on other cartoon creatures though as that is a valid complaint towards the game. We see in the crack-up-comics other characters within the Bendy cartoon universe do exist and while they ain't as prominent as the butcher gang, it'd be nice to see the ink Demon twisting their designs into horrific things that came to life

[cartoon-buffoon]

I like how in mouse pi for hire, friendly shrews speak in normal voice while enemy shrew speak in funny high-pitched helium voice

I personally hc that all shrews have a naturally squeaky voice it just is sorta like an accent in the sense that some choose to get rid of it to better acclimate to their environment which in the 1930s would be kinda common—more specifically I also imagine that when in distress or when anger it slips and they end up speaking high pitched when pissed or cussing something out

[cartoon-buffoon]

I think it would've been even more fun if mouse pi for hire's main villain was walt disney parody instead of overused hitler parody. He could be a twist villain who at first came up as a friendly trustworthy uncle figure before reavealing as a ruthless power-hungry capitalist who try to take over mouseberg with his corporate empire

I honestly don't believe that as I think just about everyone knows Disney was... Not the greatest person? Idk, I gotta tip toe a bit around talk of Walt himself because a lotta people eat that uncle Walt propaganda and will crucify whoever speaks ill of him. I also will hold off because my view of Disney himself isn't just "he was a bad guy" and is super complex and I aim to show my perspective and view on Disney and just about every other important historical figure in my Epic Mickey AU: Blood & Ink.

But that aside: I don't think Mouse P.I. was made with intent to tell that type of story as while there is some prominent anti-capitalist stuff within the game, there's a LOT more focus on prejudice and how something like bigotry works and spreads. Considering the complexities of the shrews themselves who aren't any specific ethnicity or marganlized group (Shrews represent literally every ethnicity facing discrimination in the 1930s if you see they parallel a LOT of different things) I think the BMP isn't just a Nazi parody either as they themselves represent more than just Nazis and are the bigoted and hateful. The game has been in production for awhile too and while I'm sure they couldn't have predicted the world's current political climate, I honestly think a game with its message and themes of bigotry front and center and doesn't shy away from showing the nastiness of the world (all while keeping things a decent part light-hearted) is good in the world we are sadly trapped in. I know people play games to escape reality but there's nothing wrong and it's often beneficial to have stuff like Mouse P.I. exist which is unapologetically political and slaps you in the face with it whilst still being entertaining as escaping too much just leads people to turn a blind eye to what's going on, whether out of easiness of avoiding glaring issues or out of simple blissful ignorance.

And before some dumbass says "well it's impossible to forget the Nazis"—no shit but I don't think many grasp the true fucking horrors of what they did and a lot only know the simple surface level stuff as it's not good enough just to remember people do need to actively wrap their head around it. A good part of this is how the Nazi party started and how their dangerous and hateful ideology spread which WOULDN'T YOU KNOW MOUSE P.I. IS ALL ABOUT THAT!

[cartoon-buffoon]

Mouse pi for hire and bendy crossover would be fire. Jack pepper investigating bendy studio with his arsenal of weapons

Realistically this would be a bad idea, a Tommy gun does exist in BATIM and we know it's effective—however the ink Demon itself is where the weapon becomes useless as we know from the first game the ink Demon can take damage and it'll just adapt and grow better (it's one hand) and we see the extent of its adaptive nature in Dark Revival where it's way more fucking scary because the cycle has forced it to adapt into its new body. Sorry to say but the most Jack can do with his weapons is fight the normal run of the mill ink monsters but like... Just about everyone can do that if given a weapon?

The real interesting aspect would come from Jack learning what kinda crazy bullshit happened there. He'd be like the 80th person to learn Joey was an absolute nutjob and would be trying to help break the cycle rather than actively fight things in it so it'd be way more entertaining to have him find people like Tom and Allison, I also think he'd probably like Buddy a whole lot despite him being silent

[cartoon-buffoon]

Happy pride month to all and for this entire month I'm gonna be just posting a character a day I think is queer, day one:

Ozzie is a fag, sorry not sorry. More specifically I hc him as being bisexual with his dating preference leaning towards woman but sexual preference falling harder towards men. In general I think it's also important to remember that bi folk in hetero relationships aren't any less queer than bi folk in homosexual relationships, we don't fw biphobia here

[cartoon-buffoon]

The way you describe jack pepper's character is fascinating. He's a gruff detective who went through horrible war, and yet he has somewhat innocent worldview like thinking corrupted police as something that's impossible to exist

The fact that he wanted to be a cop after getting discharged from the military in the first place absolutely fucking baffled me—Especially when he directly talks about his gripe with fighting in the war which was that he was used as a pawn and they didn't care about him or any solider risking his life. You'd think with such a large distate for people in power he'd also hate police as well as it's a position that gives people power which as we see, easily corrupts and can be abused.

It gets even weirder and contradictory when you look at his view towards people pushed into crime via circumstance like cheeseleggers. He just doesn't understand that getting a job and doing things the "right way" isn't an option for everybody when the system itself is rigged to keep them down, Tammy who's way younger than him understands it though and rightfully calls him narrow-minded. Despite this narrow-mindedness we also see that he's on board and in agreence with Cornelius' idea that Jack can make a difference and dismantle the very system in place that keeps people down and Cornelius himself will do his best to make sure it isn't rebuilt. He's a character who somehow holds ideals on both ends of the spectrum of "good" where he has beliefs that align with what's right factually and what's right morally. It's even more bizzare as you mentioned that he's grizzled which ya know—YOU'D THINK HE'D BE DESENSITIZED RIGHT??? But he's not! He's not some downer who thinks nothing he does matters and in fact fights even harder to make a change despite all that he's seen.

His psychology is just fascinating to me and while I'm no pyschologist myself he's what I'd dub a "cynical optimist". Don't know if that's an actual term or not and if it has a meaning—not gonna look it up—but what I'd label a "cynical optimist" is someone who's optimism comes from a place of understanding bleak reality. Jack knows how the world works and he's not blind to how people are often puppets to people who pull the strings as there's always someone pulling them (which control is a big theme in the game), despise this knowledge Jack doesn't work to cut the strings but instead to make them neater and less tangled. He understands he can't do everything, he even remarks that he hopes there's other people like him out there helping folks, yet he still does the best he can and understands that to help people he has to let his own strings be pulled except he fights back if there's ever a chance of them trying to make him do something he doesn't want. Jack's bio states he hasn't succumbed to the darkness yet and I think that's the big giveaway that despite how depressive of a life he's lived, he doesn't see a reason to sob about it and instead does something about it, he does what he CAN do and won't try and push it over. Jack is the type of guy to fully believe the sentiment "we're all gonna die, so what does it matter?" But instead of the classic not-giving-a-fuck way, Jack instead gives even more fucks cause he truthfully doesn't see the harm in trying. This isn't to say he's some ray of sunshine, far from it of course, it's just he maintains a certain hope in him and even when that hope is crushed he's definitely hurt and even frazzled by it but actively refuses to give up what he believes in and instead goes "Well fuck, that sucks but I gotta keep pressing on". I just absolutely fucking love him and I think this sort of complex and contradictory way of thinking he has should be acknowledged and experimented with more relating to fan content of him

[cartoon-buffoon]

Do you think jack pepper can stand a chance against terrors?

Terrors as in the multiple 4 of them? Ha, no... No, no, no, no. Even if you're speaking singular as opposed to plural each wouldn't really have an issue killing him as it'd be comparable to asking someone if they can take down a highly regenerative demi-god that bullets have no effect on in the first place
