Happy Slime Mold Sunday!

I have mixed feelings on the new Squish trailer (something me and only me would care about). I liked the comics. The animation and designs look pretty solid (though taking out the face on Squish’s hat kind of ruins his character design) Peggy has the best updated design while with Pod it looks like they’re changing his entire personality for the sake of...whatever they’re trying to do. I want to say they’re trying to modernize it too much which will make it seem dated later but honestly the original series wasn’t immune to that and at parts could have benefited from some updating. The problem is when they just try to pander to “the kids today” rather than having it fit the story.
Squish is far from a sacred cow and I’d be much more annoyed if they were adapting Babymouse. I hope they’ll at least try to make the worldbuilding make a little bit of sense. But the comedy seems to be an entirely different tone from the comics, preferring to scream in your face rather than let the jokes play out on their own. I hope they don’t completely scrub out any subtleties the comics had. Again, the comics weren’t the most complex thing, but my favorite ones where when they pointed out unhealthy friendships, and I hope they don’t sacrifice that for the sake of ripping off Gumball or being Johnny Test with better animation or something.
ALSO
JENNIFER HOLM WON THE EISNER TOO YOU COWARDS. IT DOESN’T ONLY GO TO MATHEW HOLM JUST BECAUSE HE DREW IT. SHE WRITES THE DAMN SERIES. GEE I WONDER WHY MALE WRITERS LIKE THE SAGA WRITER DOESN’T HAVE THIS PROBLEM OH WAIT
Forgive me I made this for self indulgent purposes.
Silly little ArtisteFlo inspired concept where the trio now has to look after a younger sibling figure that was human at a point they don’t remember, but doesn’t know how they’re a hybrid cell now. (I named them Newt, after Neutrophil, bc I thought it would sound cute, and they go by any pronouns.)
@mspa-reader (also @viewer-of-many if you wanna help me the series is on YT, full episodes, and it started as a book before getting an HBOmax show in 2018 that is long gone as of probably 2022)
Okay… BIG question regarding my brain and my hyperfixation…
Should I, or should I NOT start posting stuff about my Precure/PMMM/Miraculous inspired AU for the Squish books and TV series?
Should I do it?
YESYESYEAYESYESYES-
Um, no.
Explain the AU first maybe?
Sure! But calm down first, okay?
Never seen the show/see results
Okay, just saying…
If Kingdom Hearts WAS NOT limited to Disney stuff, then imagine the potential for different worlds…
Pod: Hello friends that don’t live here.
Peggy: Hi!
Squish: Hello.
Pod: I gave you the key for emergencies.
Squish: We were out of Twinkies.

“Okay… this should be done by tomorrow… OH MY GERM, how long have I had time to complete this?!”
Naturally, Pod was rather focused on schoolwork, and he always seemed to get it done on time. But take planning Three Best Friends day into mind, and it becomes a tiny problem to catch up with everything.
Pond Studies… Art Class… Science… Algebra… not to mention the various gadgets he constantly created… he hoped to make something that could get it all done faster… but then, at last, it was done.
“Finally…” He then decided to get some rest then and there, not even noticing the clock, which read 4:00 am. Daybreak came, and so did the need to go to school. His mother Daisy was working early today, so he had to prepare for school himself. The breakfast he got was half a cup of juice and a cupcake. I can get an iced coffee on the way, he thought. He got his coffee and ran straight to the bus. Right when he got on, he took a sip. The chilly caffeinated contentment danced on his senses, cooling him down and perking him up at the same time. By the time he made it to school, only one sip was left, and he certainly made it count as he approached the doors. Another amoeba approached him. It was Squish. “Pod! My man, my ‘moeba! Almost time for class! Peggy’s already in there, but it won’t start without the smartest student in class- and Small Pond!” Pod smiled at that. Oh no, is the caffeine wearing off already? He slightly slowed down a bit as soon as he got to his desk.
The teacher, Mr. Rotifer, was giving his lecture on mud, sand, and small pebbles like usual. Anyone would have fallen asleep after hearing him talk for a long time, but Pod usually payed attention, so you can guess how many students were shocked at the genius’s little nap.
“…Are you sure you don’t need a break from class, Pod?” He woke up with a start. “Huh? Wh-what? Umm, yes, I might need a break.” Outside of class, Squish and Peggy looked at their friend with slight concern, especially since Peggy is almost always seen with a smile.
“You okay, Pod?” “Yeah, you almost never fall asleep like everyone else during Mr Rotifer’s lectures! Did you get enough sleep?” Pod was at an internal stalemate. Should he tell the truth, or say what they would like him to say? “I- Of course I got enough sleep!”
Just then, something happened. He lit up like a glow stick. The sudden light got the sleepiness out of his eyes immediately, and he was shocked. “…Okay, maybe I went to bed a little late last night, but it couldn’t have been that late!” The glow faded with those words.
Squish and Peggy both stared at him a while. “…When DID you go to sleep?” Squish asked, playfully nudging at his friend’s membrane. “I, um, don’t remember.” He didn’t light up when he said that, so he must’ve told the truth.
“Wait, you GLOWED when you told us that you got sleep, then stopped glowing when you told the truth. Then that means…” Squish started to laugh at the thought. “The SMARTEST BOY in SMALL POND DIDN’T KNOW he ate one of his own GLOW CUPCAKES?! Bahahahahah! Heheheh, you’re, uh, not mad, are you?”
“No, just disappointed at MYSELF that I didn’t tell you that I needed rest.” He averted his eyes and tried to stay awake. “I guess planning Three Best Friends day on a week with the most class work ISN’T such a good idea.”
Just then, Peggy got an idea. “Don’t worry, Pod! We’ll plan Three Best Friends day for you, and you can get some sleep as a reward for all the school work you did!” Squish smiled at the idea.
“It’s just one week,” he chimed. “Besides, not like you can lie about getting enough sleep for a week now, right?” The Three Best Friends smiled at the plan.
“…Thanks, guys.”
