Hi, you can call me Seal!! You can check out my main blog here. This blog is specifically just for Johnny Bravo posting! I very much ship Johnny and Carl, but more in like a queerplatonic way!!! call it doomates because i must use that phrase
i also will post self insert related stuff because I have free will (no I don't please help me)
i can perfectly pronounce each way that Carl's last name was said in the show, but I can't REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL IT. It was three different pronunciations, right?
FOR SOME REASON I CAN REMEMBER HOW TO PRONOUNCE EACH ONE
i need to talk about my Johnny Bravo Sona more!! I drew him a side view ref :) Here's the previous post about him.
(copying lore from his toyhouse!!!)
Samuel is best friends with Carl! He's very friendly and enjoys listening to Carl yap about science or whatever else on his mind! He's easily skeptical of things that seem off and notices the little details. He keeps a keen eye on things. He's very willing to help out Carl and assist him with anything experiment related. He sometimes likes to volunteer in the same places as Carl and they work really well together in a team!
He gets along well with Bunny Bravo and Suzy. Bunny thinks of him as a kind, young man, even if he doesn't really like Johnny.
Samuel hates Pops. He thinks he's a very sketchy man and usually doesn't trust him with anything. Pops has no regards for what he's feeding to his customers! He refuses to eat at the diner most of the time, unless he can confirm the food is safe. Samuel doesn't think Pops should be on a first name basis with him and would rather be called by his last name, Pruden. Pops calls him Prudent, a pun on how he thinks Pruden is unreasonably skeptical of everything. Pops sometimes even puts extra emphasis on the T, nearly spitting every time he does it. Pruden always tries to correct him on the pronunciation of his name and does not like being called Prudent. He doesn't see himself as this know-it-all as Pops paints him as! He's just using common sense. Why would anyone eat at a restaurant that has countless of health code violations?
Pops doesn't exactly hate Samuel, but does heavily dislike him. He thinks of him as a stuck-up person. He always wonders why Samuel even shows up to his diner if he's not even going to order anything! Though, the reason is quite simple, it's Carl and Johnny's favorite hangout place! Though he'd really only like to see Carl. Samuel sometimes tries to get law enforcement involved to shut down Pops' diner. If Pops runs into any sort of legal trouble, he always blames Samuel no matter what, even if Samuel had nothing to do with it. Despite the rivalry, Pops would like to be his friend or at least get on good terms! (Which could just be a way to get his money... but who really knows?) He tries to win him over with food at half price, or maybe even some free meals!
He tries being nicer to him and even tries to adhere to the health code just for him!
(How very kind of him...)
Samuel didn't like Johnny at first when he reconnected with Carl again after Highschool. He knows how Johnny was as a person and heard stories about him, still thinking of Johnny as this sexist pig, even after he had moved away. Though, Carl has helped Johnny become a better person since then. Plus, Carl is actually in a Queerplatonic relationship with Johnny! Johnny doesn't dislike Samuel back, he just feels a little nervous around him, knowing that Pruden doesn't like him. He can understand Samuel's dislike of him, considering how he used to be as a person. He usually mumbles, "Woah, Nelly..." Whenever Samuel is approaching him. Samuel does end up warming up to him later, realizing he really has changed as a person, and he's more caring of others too!
Nicknames:
-Carl calls him Sammy.
-Suzy and Bunny Bravo call him Sam.
-Pops calls him Prudent.
-Johnny calls him Samuel and avoids calling him Pruden all together, he doesn't want to make the mistake of calling him Prudent.
heh, it's pride month and that means I get to talk about my queer headcanons about Johnny and Carl...
THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG POST, BE WARY
So for starters, Johnny is heavily closeted Bi! Which is probably something people usually headcanon! Andddd, that's the only label I'm giving him.
Carl is not the same case. I think of him as Demi-Panromantic, Polyromantic (possibly), Ace, Genderfluid, Idemromantic, and Queerplatonic. Yup! All of those! This guy is very queer to me and I love him for it.
For the Demi-Pan part, I like to imagine he actually likes going on dates, but not actually DATING just yet. He likes to go on plenty of dates but doesn't exactly like the commitment, which is why we don't see his relationships last after an episode. He likes hanging out with people!
He just likes people in general and doesn't really think about gender preference.
Like, "Oh okay, I think this person is cool, let's go on a date!"
He would definitely clarify that he's not actually looking to get into a relationship though, to not lead the person on. But he doesn't mind going on a date or two! Kissing, cuddling, hand holding, he's fine with all that. He doesn't want to outright be in a defined relationship, because he enjoys being with so many people and doesn't want to commit to one or a couple people. He goes with the flow. Well, at least until Johnny!
For the Idemromantic part, I always thought his romantic and platonic feelings would look the exact same, considering how he usually acts with Johnny. I recently learned about the Idemromantic label and I think it fits him well! He probably would've confessed to Johnny several times and Johnny wouldn't even be able to tell, because his tone is the exact same!
“Johnny, I like you.”
“I know, you dweeb.”
“No, I mean- I like like you!”
“You’re repeating yourself.”
“Oh, nevermind!”
Could write him a love letter, but it's basically the same thing as Carl is normally, so he just doesn't get what's different. They eventually would get into a Queerplatonic relationship. Johnny slowly becomes a better person when he's with Carl. I think the reason Johnny even started getting attached to Carl was because he felt a kind of pity for him and felt like he needed to be there for Carl, because he's so pathetic and Johnny likes to showoff how cool he is. Johnny does find it endearing in way, because it's so easy to impress Carl.
Johnny still wouldn't show physical affection towards Carl, but I think he wouldn't mind if Carl was towards him. He just can't handle the physical affection for too long. It's sorta like petting a cat, you can pet them for a certain amount of time before they get overstimulated. Johnny's version of affection is insulting Carl like he usually does, calling him a dweeb, weasel, or weed. If he's feeling overstimulated, he can literally push Carl away and Carl instantly understands.
Their relationship is so complicated overall. Also, Johnny still has a lot of internalized homophobia, so Carl being so affectionate scares him. But it's also the fact it's CARL, like out of all men for him to be in a relationship with, IT HAD TO BE CARL? They are also in an open relationship! So Johnny is still flirty with women, but more in a platonic way now.
Half the time they don't even say that they're dating or that they're boyfriends, because Johnny feels like it's "too lovey dovey" and would rather just mention Carl by name, rather than status.
I love the idea of Johnny being so confused about their relationship too, he thought you always needed to be romantic to be with someone.
As in you need to woo the other person to stay in a relationship. Very confused as to how Carl hasn’t left him when he hasn’t expressed much romantic feelings. Carl just seems happy with him either way. He thinks he needs to put more effort into the relationship, but nah, their current dynamic is fine! He’s so used to constantly trying to get into a relationship and getting people to like him, that he doesn’t understand why Carl is still attached to him if he doesn’t try at all.
He doesn’t have to try so hard to be loved???
He doesn’t want Carl to “lose interest” in him, though that is not gonna happen! Bunny Bravo would be supportive of them too, seeing as she sees Carl as a sweet, caring, young man. She would not be too surprised to find them dating.
I think they would've thought that Pops was homophobic at first, because he did give them the stink eye when Carl revealed their relationship. But Pops' actual concern was more, "they could both do so much better" Out of all people to get together, it had to be them?
The Genderfluid headcanon...
do I even need to explain
I think Carl also raised by a single mother and she would've been so supportive of him when growing up. She 100% let him experiment as a child and never tried to push him into stereotypes or anything. I think when he came out to his mother, she'd be like, "ya I know"
unpopular opinion but the way the johnny bravo retool handled celebrities in a more casual way (save for an ep or two) with occasional mentions was funnier than actual guest stars. you don't even have to care about who the celebrity is, you're just hit by the fact they exist in johnny's world and there's nothing you can do about it. i'm saying this because this punchline makes me lose my mind everytime
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR HOW ANNOYING SEASON 4 WAS WITH THE CELEBRITIES
why is there so many of them im CRYING
am i even watching johnny bravo anymore or am i just watching "how many celebrities can i fit into one show"
