*Deep inhale* GOOD GIRL, BAD GIRL, WHATS IT GONNA BE???? 😇😈
(Ball knowers? Ball knowers? 👀👀👀)
Jinx fanart, yet again— We all know what she’s gonna pick, but the road is long and difficult…
I’m sorry, but my favorite girl deserves WAYYYY better than what the writers and DC (AND some fans) have put her through.
My fellow Flinxsters would know I’ve put another, uncolored version of that idea on Discord! (What are we thinking of the name « Flinxsters » put in a sentence, @matchamilkorner?)
HELLO
i don't know how i did this but i did 😭🥹
he's so beautiful wth
he actually DOES transform into a 10/10
Holy shi-
No because what the actual fuck was that decision?
You mean to tell me months—if not YEARS—of development. …and your solution was to throw the ENTIRE SIXTH LOVE INTEREST into the trash?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I'm not saying people shouldn't have been angry about the 731 reference. They absolutely had every right to be. Unit 731 is one of the darkest chapters in history and if that reference was made carelessly, then yes, people deserved an apology and an explanation.
But explain to me how Valko became the sacrificial lamb here.
Who exactly does this help? The people who were hurt by the reference? They still deserve accountability.
The people who were excited for Valko? Congratulations, you just told them to go fuck themselves.
The developers who spent who knows how long creating an entirely new LI? Their work gets deleted overnight.
So what was the goal here?
Because this doesn't feel like taking responsibility. It feels like corporate damage control.
Fix the story.
Rewrite the chapter.
Delete the offending reference.
Delay the release.
Fire whoever thought using 731 and 611 was acceptable if you have to.
But deleting an ENTIRE CHARACTER because of a mistake in ONE PART OF THE GAME is such an absurd overreaction that I genuinely can't wrap my head around it. I'm just so unbelievably disappointed. because Infold's response was somehow even worse than the original mistake.
We lost a character.
The developers lost their work.
The fandom lost something people had been excited about. What an absolute fucking waste.
i've had jinx on the brain lately, so here's my take on her design once she joins the titans ✨🔮
+ bonus doodles
ALSO
I don’t know where that « Butch is the rebel » thing came from— maybe it came from people constantly seeing the Rrb as « boy versions » of the Ppg, and NOT as the individual characters they are. (I agree that the boys are definitely complementary to the girls’ personalities, and that they DO have their fair bits of similarities, but my point stands.)
Anyways, my boy is NOT the rebel some people make him out to be— like, did we forget that in the show, not ONCE did Butch try to challenge Brick’s authority? You know who DOES challenge their leader?
BUTTERCUP. And Boomer, in a way? But yeah.
Is he a troublemaker? Indubitably. Just like his brothers are. They’re the ROWDYruff boys. They find it fun to wreck havoc and destroy stuff and challenge authority, but their pursuit of « evil » is moreso abstract. It’s that « cool », distant thing they were subconsciously taught to seek by their parental figures, Mojo, and HIM. And I like to think that that is why they’re so hellbent on destroying the PPG.
Because the Ppg ARE goodness. They are, and I shall quote Mojo himself, « Butts nestled between the pillars of peace and love. ». To the boys, destroying THEM would cement THEIR own roles as the worst, most evil supervillains (and, by extension, worthy of their creators’ attention and respect. Because I do not believe HIM could ever love ANYTHING, and Mojo cannot love ANYTHING more than revenge at this point.)
I suppose their egos would also be a factor in their pursuit of the girls’ downfall— but anyway!
The core difference between Butch and Buttercup (who are my favorite of their respective factions, erm erm), I think, is as follow:
If Brick/Blossom were to fall from grace, and lose their place as their teams’ leader— Buttercup would (and has) try to take her place. Butch, would not.
Im just saying, buuuuuut….
Heavy RRB angst, except it’s EXTREMELY parentified Brick.
(Bonus point if, no one really notices it but his brothers (cuz duh.))
Im obviously gonna have to correlate this to Sbj’s MTH, because 1), that’s basically ppg’s bible, and 2), my boys unfortunately do not have that many canonical appearances to build up of, so ✌️🥀
Every ppg and rrb occupy a very clear role in their team’s dynamic. Archetypes, if you will often with parallels (or straight up same roles) between the respective blues, greens, and reds. (For the sake of this post, these will be EXTREMELY SIMPLIFIED, but hear me out.)
The GREENS are the muscles— the fighters, most likely to jump headfirst into any confrontation, especially if the confrontation just so happens to be physical. They express themselves best through punches, and frankly, no one expects anything less from either of them.
The BLUES are the emotional cores, but in two completely different ways. Bubbles is the most sensitive amongst her sisters, as well as the most cheerful and empathetic. She is emotional, and inclined to be a moral support for her friends and family. (That’s not ALL SHE IS, but that’s what she excels at. The girl is a people’s person, through and through.)
Boomer, on the other end, is straight up his brothers’ punching bag. They take out their frustration and anger and snap at him for the SLIGHTEST thing… and they bond over that. From what we could see, we know that the boys have the most fun whilst bullying (even if it’s each other). Physical and verbal violence, and mockery, is their main source of entertainment. The fact that that’s often at the expense of Boomer only proves that he IS a core part of their organism. They’re a united front, IN the bullying of their brother.
Now, the REDS… oh, boy.
The REDS are clearly their team’s self-proclaimed leaders. They stand at the front, they lead the charge (plan, or not.), and are generally depicted as being more intelligent/mature than their siblings (wether that be in canon or not). Now, the distinction between Blossom and Brick is WHEN they need to be the leaders.
Blossom is CANONICALLY smarter than her sisters (whereas Brick is more of a fanon assumption), but people forget— Blossom isn’t the last line of authority in the Utonium household. That’s the Professor. That’s right: the girls’ DAD.
The Powerpuff Girls HAVE a stable and loving parental figure. The Rowdyruff Boys, do not. That means that Blossom, even if she DOESN’T or DOESN’T want to, CAN step out of her leader position to her heart’s content. She can rest knowing that she doesn’t HAVE to have everything figured out, because knowing things ISNT her full time job. She gets to be her sisters’ sister, knowing that even if she’s not there to, the girls will be looked out for and taken care of, HERSELF INCLUDED.
Brick?? He is Leader, Brother, and makeshift Guardian, all day everyday, and has been since they’ve emerged from that toilet. (ESPECIALLY SBJ’S BRICK, or at least in my interpretation of it.)
This is hella long bye 💔 I might literally just be crazy, it’s okay ✌️
Upon careful consideration (and a very nice person online who gave me some perspective), I might just edit this hold on
Just needa gather my thoughts and I’ll be right there with y’all

Thought I’d share my Jinx fanart here, hehe
@matchamilkorner, this is all your fault btw/jk
I was reminded of just how much was going on with Jinx’s character in the original Teen Titans— NOT the Teen Titans Go series. This is SPECIFICALLY Teen Titans (2003) Jinx.
I just think she’s neat, and deserves a lot more recognition and attention than what she gets (from both the fandom AND the authors, shaking my head). Put some respect on Jinx’s name, I beg 😭
Soooooo, remember when I said I thought Brick from TEF was an abusive brother? Okay, let's talk about it!
It all starts because of the way the boys were raised. There's a very well-defined hierarchy. Brick gives the orders, Butch and Boomer obey, and if they don't obey, there are consequences. Simple.
...Not so simple.
In Brick's mind, Discipline comes through violence. Respect comes through fear. And, for Boomers and Butch, that's normal.
This became quite obvious at the beginning of the fanfic. I don't remember if it was in chapter one or two, but it was at the end of one of them. Brick gets completely furious with Butch and beats him up with unnecessary violence. And he only "stopped" because Boomer said there was an audience. When they got home, he continued the violence. And Boomer was left like this: 😐.
And when Buttercup questioned Butch about it, his response was: "I deserved it" (????). Because in their system, this is perfectly normal. So much so that Brick takes chemical X from Butch to teach him a lesson, since his wounds wouldn't heal so quickly otherwise.
When Boomer refused to break up with Bubbles, Brick went after him. To threaten.
This is the definition of an abusive person.
But we can't reduce him to just that. Because there IS a moral compass in his head. He created a boundary, which proves that he does love his brothers, but he has a... strange perception of right and wrong.
We find this out at the end of chapter 12, after Butch's near-death experience. Through this excerpt here:
---
“He never really listens to you, anyway. He always has it coming, doesn't he? You always need to whip him into shape. Teach him a lesson.”
Roughing him up is not the same as attempting to disembowel him, Brick thought, but Him's words troubled him nonetheless.
-----
See? There IS a limit. He swears to God he's doing it for discipline. He can hurt Butch, but he can't kill Butch. It's weird, but it just proves my point that he does it to discipline his brothers. So much so that the main victim is always Butch, all the time. This not only appears in the fanfic, but is literally mentioned by Boomer in the last chapter. He's just not that afraid of Brick because the victim is usually Butch, since Butch "needs more discipline".
Besides, there's that issue in TEF that appeared in some chapter (which I also don't remember which one), through Blossom's thoughts. She can't find Brick's violence against Butch normal or acceptable, but she herself has realized that Butch has ABSOLUTELY NO limits. He had done something to her, and only stopped after receiving a good beating.
I really like to cite Butch's near-death experience because Brick becomes visibly worried. Visibly guilty.
-----
“A... concussion.” It sounded like a pitiful excuse to be in the hospital, considering the guy he was saying it to had been all but torn apart.
“You okay?” Brick couldn't tell from Butch's tone whether he was asking out of genuine concern or challenging Brick's injury to top his.
“Me? How about you?”
----
Like??????? 💔💔 Why the fuck is nobody talking about this scene?
But that doesn't negate his violent behavior. I mean, I think it was in the very next chapter that he went after Buttercup when she was on the defensive. When she assumed that he had hurt Butch. 💀💔
He is not a literal ABUSER. But he's kind of heading that way 💔 Because he has abusive behaviors.
For the boys, it was normalized. Butch and Boomer accept being disciplined, and Brick continues to faithfully believe that this is what discipline is. But they also seem to realize that, to outsiders, this is not normal. But it's as if, socially, they are aware that this is unusual. But emotionally, it's what works and what has always worked for them.
So much so that, when Butch is being beaten up, Boomer doesn't stop Brick saying, "Dude, that's wrong!" No. He says, "There's an audience and everything." (???).
The relationship between the Jojos has always intrigued me a lot in this fanfic, a lot indeed. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. Does anyone have any comments?? ✨
I don’t know WHERE that « the Rowdyruff Boys aren’t that fond of each other and are ready to sacrifice each other for themselves » thing stem from… because honestly I don’t agree at ALL!!
We may not see much of them, and we can only see their 5 years old selves, but just LOOK AT THEM:
THESE ARE BIRDS OF A FEATHER. These three are ALWAYS together, and they always seem to be having a LOT of fun— even if that fun comes from evilness, of course.
But come on. Even at five, who would want to stick by people they HATE, or even dislike?
Like, I think the boys actually LOVE each other, just as much the Powerpuff Girls love each other, just… in a very different way. Because their « parents » are who they are, and they have no real guidance or moral support/compass.
They kind of just do whatever they want to do whenever they want to do it, like, they don’t care about right/wrong, only about fun/not fun. Or at least, that’s the case when they’re still kids. Obviously they’ll grow and evolve.
But if « fun » means punching your brother (whom you love, for reasons you can’t really put into words) in the face? Then sure. Punch.
An embodiment of Life itself, who is neither kind nor nurturing.
An embodiment of Life, who is loud and brash and fabulously cruel.
An embodiment of Life, who is creative. Who creates, and creates ways to destroy what It creates, and creates ways to destroy what It created to destroy.
An embodiment of Life, who adores Death with all that It is— Death, the one force that can defy its own ways-finding powers. The force It NEEDS. The force It requires to work to make space, for all the new things It wants to create.
An embodiment of Life, who cares not for the thriving, but for the surviving. For the ways It’s children fight and struggle and squirm to keep going, despite hating every second of it.
A Mother of All Things, cancer and galaxies alike, who has seen EVERYTHING, and yet lusts for more, and more, and more of everything, anything, everywhere, all at once (hah). Who parties with all the freedom of a shapeless being, beyond the feeble minds of Men, no matter what destruction it may bring, so long as Movement endures.
The concept of the Rowdyruff boys is just SO wild and cool to me, man…
Like, think about it. When they were first created, they were mean and vicious and all (their literal first purpose was apparently to « kick some butts »), but back then, they weren’t exactly on the same level of WICKEDNESS as they are on later seasons.
See my first PPG theory, where I explain why I think the intentions when using Chemical X (and substitutes) has consequences on the life forms it generates.
Mojo Jojo’s reasons were bad, sure: he wanted superpowered boys to beat up and rival his life-long mortal enemies, the Powerpuff Girls— but mostly, they were petty.
Like, oh, you’re stronger and more powerful and more synergistic and have never once been defeated by my intellect? Here, I’ll bio-engineer your EXACT matches and rival— basically boy versions of you, except they’ve no morals, no faith, and no sense of purpose outside of violence. That’ll show you.
And then these creations died. Unfortunate, but Mojo had already rejected them for their failure. So he didn’t bother trying with them again.
Here’s where HIM swoops in. Because Him, fabulous embodiment of All Evil, saw potential in the little monsters that were the Rowdyruff boys.
So he brought them BACK. Him adopted them, and that’s why I think the Rowdyruff Boys were MUCH meaner and violent after their resurrection!
Brick became self-absorbed, prideful, cruel and purely evil, Butch became a rabid, bloodthirsty, ITCHY-FOR-A-FIGHT gremlin-thing (no, seriously, he was twitching all over the place), and Boomer. Well, he’s constantly being bullied by Brick and Butch, so it’s hard to tell, but it’s clear he’s not THAT different from them! I mean. He’s CLEARLY having fun too!
So yeah, I REALLY think my theory is right— just a theory, though.
Anyways, I genuinely adore the concept of the Rowdyruff boys, even outside of them being used as shipping materials for the girls. Obviously, I’m not gonna lie, I also ship them with the Ppgs, but I also have a lot of fun imagining the three of them together in their everyday lives, grown or not. Kind of like the Powerpuff Girls, but it’s Rowdyruff centered.
I wish we’d gotten more of them, they were the perfect villains… with Him, and Princess, of course.
And now the squad is complete!! I always loved how unironically badass and strong-willed Bubbles was, DESPITE being the cutest and sweetest of the PPGs.
Like, yeah, cute girls in pigtails kick ass. Obviously.
(Blending yellow with blue is impossible on traditional, but watch me try anyways)
I finished Bubbles— I just forgot to post it, damn
No, I had something else in mind, and that was HIM. Like, we do NOT talk about HIM enough.
Because WOW. What a terrifying, scary villain. Genuinely, I think an easy Top 10 scariest villain to be exposed to kids.
Because what do you MEAN we still don’t know HIM’s name???? After so many seasons, a movie, and an entire fandom??
HIM’s not HIM’s name. HIM is the ACRONYM of HIS TITLE: His Infernal Majesty. Because apparently, the simple utterance of his NAME would strike fear into the hearts of Men. WHAT IN THE FOLKLORE DEITY, DUDE.
On top of serving CUNT, HIM’s easily the most powerful character in the whole show— remember when he brought the sun closer to the earth (think it was in « Custody Battle ») and then pushed it back with a FLICK OF THE WRIST.
In favor of ARGUING WITH MOJO JOJO. A giant, green, talking MONKEY.
Talk about range. The PPG really be bouncing between the ACTUAL DEVIL AND EMBODIMENT OF EVIL, and a giant, chemically-altered Ape.
Love this show
Two down, one to go!!
My designs (especially Blossom’s) are pretty inspired by @racketballz’s art— you should check it out, their art is PHENOMENAL.
(You can say whatever you want, I personally think a darker skin color makes Blossom’s colors pop out AMAZINGLY.)
Yes, their sclera are a lighter color of their signature color.
Excuse the HORRENDOUS quality pls 😋
