Bone homage by Ethan Young

[based-bobcat]

I'm currently reading Bone and it's so good I literally can't put it down and read til three in the morning. Since I read using voices in me head for characters I thought I'd share them (also fancast for an animated series idk?)

It took me a bit to get Fone Bone's voice. As usual with the main character, I keep switching between voices. At first I had GF's Dipper Pines but then I switched to Mickey fuckin' Mouse until it got too silly with how dark the plot got so I finally decided on Danny Pudi. Specifically his Huey Duck from the Ducktales reboot.

Smiley was an instalock. He EXUDES Goofy energy. Just by the backcover alone I gave him Goofy's voice and it fits perfectly. He WILL WAAAHAAAOOOOEY unironically. 10/10

Phoncible P. Bone my boy. My chadded king. The one who bears the star. At first I gave him Danny Devito's voice seeing how he is a small, crafty asshole. Kind of like his part in Jewel of the Nile. Then it transformed into Gilbert Gottfried for a little bit, but from the great cow race unward I stuck with Grunkle Stan. Their basically the same character. Jerk with a heart of gold, but that heart of gold is suppressed by their love FOR gold. World is literally ending and this guy is more busy with the currency they'll be using

Thorn. 10/10 gal, I get why Fone (and by extension Jeff Smith I see you dog) likes her so much. At first I had Wendy Corduroy's voice for her, but it made me pepper her dialogue with several 'dude's which didn't work after the reveal so I switched to Kimmy Kim Possible.

I have a generic tough grandma lady voice in my head for cool grandmas, but can't for the life of me remember who that actually is? So just putting Betty for Gran'ma Ben here lol.

Love Lucius so much. The man has the world on his shoulders and has to deal with Phoney. I can see most people giving him a gruff, tough guy voice, but I can hear the Red Forman dumbass whenever he has to deal with Phoney.

Another Instalock. His lazy demeanor alongside his lazy smile, made me think of JCA's Ratso. Clancy Brown's dopey voice fits him well and can go more baritone whenever he kicks ass.

No explanation needed. I do have a need for Quiche now.

I clocked The Hooded One as having Jeffrey Combs' haunting voice as TNBA's Scarecrow. Knowing the reveal it should change, but for I dont know his haunty whisper is etched in my brain.

I like deep voices sue me! I think the beast, but more growly fits Kingdok really well. No other explanation.

Another no-brainer. They both carry themselves the same way. Haughty, yet with that dangerous feral edge.
