Excerpt from 'The Handler's Guide To Shrimpo':

32.) Shrimpo is not allowed in any kitchen area, especially the Diner kitchen.

Addendum 32-A: For all intents and purposes, please assume any physical altercations between Sprout and Shrimpo were started by Shrimpo.

Addendum 32-B: Sprout has been given a novelty-sized Shrimp Peeler as a deterrent. It appears to be working for now.

Addendum 32-C: Sprout has been equipped with backup Shrimp Peelers in the event that Shrimpo steals / hides / breaks them.

Addendum 32-D: No, the Shrimp Peeler would not actually work. Shrimpo is not aware of this. Do not inform him.

33.) Shrimpo is not allowed access to any remote control whatsoever. We don't know how he linked them to Vee's head but if he changes her face to South Park in the middle of a Game Show event one more time we're gonna get sued by the FCC.

34.) Rules are difficult to enforce with Shrimpo. It is now mandatory to use the Calm-Down Corner as time-out in the event of misbehavior.

Addendum 34-A: See list of items Shrimpo is no longer allowed to have while in Calm-Down Corner.

Addendum 34-B: Any holes knocked into walls of Calm-Down Corner are to be repaired by Shrimpo with oversight from Maintenance Department.

Addendum 34-C: If Calm-Down Corner does not work, staff are allowed to utilize the 'jail cage' prop from S2 Ep15.

Addendum 34-D: Staff are NOT to refer to the 'jail cage' prop as 'Shrimp Prison'. It is unprofessional.

35.) The Social Media department now has a subset of employees monitoring potential Shrimpo activity. Please be advised the Shrimpo can and will steal phones at any available opportunity and is good at guessing passcodes.

Addendum 35-A: Shrimpo has been given a phone with parental controls, and access to a single social-media site on the condition he stops stealing employee and visitor phones. All posts must be approved by current Shrimpo Handler.

Addendum 35-B: Phone has been jailbroken to remove 'emergency mode' so that Shripmo may no longer prank-call 911.

36.) Shrimpo is now allowed to curse backstage on the condition that he stops ruining takes by randomly inserting 'fuck', 'bitch', etc., in places he finds funny. Handlers are allowed to use discretion on how much cursing will be considered too much and are allowed to use Section 34 enforcement methods if Shrimpo gets carried away.

I highly doubt I’m the first person to think this up, but, what if Doofenschmirtz has prosopagnosia, a.k.a ‘face-blindness’? 

Per Wikipedia, “People with face blindness may struggle to notice differences in faces of strangers. Others may even have a hard time recognizing familiar faces. It’s estimated to affect about 2 percent of the general population.“

Doof is smart enough to work around this easily. People with this condition, (particularly with severe cases,) memorize the most unique part of an individual’s face and use that to identify them. Doof is especially good at this, to the point where his condition is seen as just another one of his eccentricities. Let’s say he’s middling on the scale, where strangers can be hard to remember, acquaintances less so, friends are easy, and family is a no-brainer unless he’s particularly stressed and scatterbrained at that moment. 

But, the thing is, that’s with humans. Now, with most ‘standard’ mammals--think cat-like, dog-like, bear-like--he can pick a facial feature to remember. Being raised by ocelots helped a lot with this. However, with faces of creatures like snakes, anteaters, platypi, etc., he has a harder time differentiating between them unless one has a very distinct mark.

When he runs into animal agents like this, his focus tends to land on the fedora. It’s obviously the most prominent feature, and each agent has very unique scuffs and scrapes on theirs, like a fingerprint.

And that’s why he doesn’t recognize Perry without the fedora.

...Though, the fact that he can’t put two and two together regarding the disappearance of Agent Perry and sudden emergence of Random Normal Teal Platypus is aaaaaall Doof.

An excerpt from the fic I’ve been working on, with rough illustration drafts! I’m really excited about it, but it’s gonna be awhile before I begin posting it (got more to write and LOTS more to illustrate,) and I just wanted to share something, y’know?

I’ve never made an illustrated story before so I’m still learning layouts and all that. If anyone’s got feedback / criticisms, I’m more than happy to hear ‘em!

12 please (choose violence ask)

12.) The unpopular character that you actually like, and why more people should like them.

Oooh, that's a toughie, if only because I've not seen a single DHMIS character that doesn't have a following of some sort! Though, out of all of them I think Stain's gotten the least amount of love. little dude just wanted to vibe and instead got fuckin trauma-dumped on lol

And I actually do really like Stain! On my first watch-through of the series, I thought it was purely episodic. With the revelation at the end that it's very much not, this really makes me wonder: What the fuck is up with Stain? I have Many Thoughts.

Like… Stain wasn't molded at first, like he was supped to be, right? So he develops his own personality. But after he gets molded into Duck's form, it's not long before he's perfectly mimicing him and any trace of his previous personality is gone. That's fucked up!

Which leads me in to the little factoid that the Duck that got killed at the end of Death had maggots in him. That was the REAL Duck.

It's been pretty well-established that in this Sesame-Street Sitcom-Simulation Hell, death doesn't ever really stick. I personally think that whoever is controlling the world, be that Roy or Leslie (or someone else?) wanted to get rid of Duck, but for some reason can't get around the 'no-dying' rule. Thus, they decided to stick him in a box in the dirt in the middle of the woods instead of just offing him outright. Not just any box, either, but a Teacher that can keep tabs on and manage him.

All that to say; I personally think that when Stain killed Duck, Duck just kinda… showed up again later that evening, likely quite pissed off, and kicked Stain out. Or killed him! Which may or may not stick, since I'm not sure if Stain qualifies as a teacher or not.

I like to think that Stain got kicked out and melted back into his original personality. Being the adventerous little fella he is, I can easily see him wandering around the Fabricated World, exploring and questioning. Maybe he comes by the Pink House again later? Maybe one of The Guys goes exploring for some reason, and stumble across him? What if he goes far enough and finds The Junkyard? Can Stain exist outside the simulation?

As someone who really likes worldbuilding, I feel that Stain is a character with a ton of potential! I'm genuinely shocked I don't see more people draw him, post headcanons about him, or put him in fanfics.

Tiny Headcanon: Cavendish uses a straight razor to shave. Y'know, one of these bad boys--

He shaves every morning with the lightning speed and flighty precision of someone who's been doing it for decades, and it gives Vinnie all the anxiety. He's hidden and broken several of 'em, but Cav always has a backup.

The odd part is that, through all the slips in the shower, accidental electrocutions, and the one time he somehow managed to drown himself in the toilet tank, Cavendish has never so much as nicked himself with the razor.
