You'll find all sorts of things here but mostly Powerpuff Girls. My husband BoobeamTrap and I together are number 1 Blossom glazers and we have a little girl who inherited our obsession with PPG
I saw @caffstrink's trans masc Bubbles and I thought it was a wonderful idea and felt the urge to draw my own version...so here are a few conceptual doodles of Bearded Bubbles.
I like to think Princess would love to do Blossomās makeup. Mainly as an excuse to be close to her, but also because itās like a love language for her. Being able to enhance Blossomās beauty and testing new makeup techniques.
i was incredibly devestated to find out that kane passed away yesterday. he was an incredible VA who was passionate and devoted to his craft, and was a memorable part of my childhood.
what's crazy for me is that i just started to rewatch the powerpuff girls maybe a week or so ago. honestly, i think it stemmed from me wanting to take a break from personal passion projects and the burden of my academics. i thought, what better way to do that than to watch an old childhood show?
the way i stumbled across ppg in the first place is actually kind of amusing. my mom used to get her braids done at this lady's apartment, and her son ABSOLUTELY ADORED the powerpuff girls. i thought it was a bit odd at first because i didn't really know anything about it at the time, so i was wondering why this boy was watching a random girls' show. i was SO SO WRONG. he put me on and i'm incredibly grateful that he did.
anyways, after that, it just kind of stuck with me. i didn't grow up with cable, so i may not have had the authentic experience of sitting in front of the tv with some lucky charms and watching the show, but i like the unconventional way i stumbled across it.
i ended up watching the reboot on a cruise a few years later when i was HORRENDOUSLY seasick
now, i've come back to it! i'm glad that i did, but kane's passing saddened me deeply. he was not only the soul behind the professor and him in ppg; he also sparked life into so many other characters across various expanses of media. i may not be one, but VA's geniunely inspire me, with their levels of range and passion, to create art for the mere fun of it. kane's 50 years of contribution to the artistic community will always be cherished and remembered š
Utonium as he should always be, surrounded by his girls and loved and loved and loved ššš
I've never had an f/o's actor pass away in my lifetime. Maybe ever, if I really think about it. I've been dealing with a lot of grief recently and this is a special kind of bittersweetness, knowing that someone is gone who should have had a lot more time. But also knowing that they did the best they possibly could with the time they had, and that they left behind a legacy of love, care, and kindness. Thank you, Tom Kane, for everything. š
I felt the need to pay tribute to the late Tom Kane. He was a phenomenal voice actor and has a LONG legacy of characters and sounds we all grew up hearing.
The Powerpuff Girls was my first fan hyperfixation. I was about 6 and making a whole bunch of fanart, fan comics, I even had a self-insert OC. Most of that art is long lost, but this show holds a special place in my heart.
I loved Professor Utonium. He was so incredibly patient and tender to those girls, despite the struggles of raising superpowers triplets as a single dad.
I ripped the band aid off and went ahead and put most of my AO3 fanfics in a hidden collection. I havenāt written anything in over a year and doubt I will again, Iāll just redirect any writing energies on playing Frantic Fanfic with my fandom friends and just stick to drawing instead (Seriously you guys need to play that game, itās so much fun).
Iām just tired of drama popping up surrounding them all the time. Iām not proud enough of any of them that itās worth keeping them publicly available. In the context of my AU I wrote Brick and Princess as bad people and the stories always framed their actions as bad, but Iāve gotten enough nasty comments and overall damage to my reputation from how these fictional characters behaved that I wish I never had bothered. Iām sorry to have caused any harm.
(If, for whatever reason, someone liked those fics enough to want to see them again, just message me and Iāll send them but I really doubt anyone is clamouring for a poorly written relationship drama about a bi-curious Blossom being awkward and insecure⦠writing it was beneficial for me emotionally at the time I wrote it, but itās doing nothing for me now especially with the fandom in its current state).
