It’s time for another first impressions video. This is the first JSR episode where I actually share some negative thoughts on a movie instead of positive ones.

So, I hope you all had magnificent birthday celebrations and I wish you all a lot of love, joy, beauty, abundance, prosperity, and strength in your lives as artists and as people. Como se dice en español, espero que hayaís tenido celebraciones de cumpleaños maravillosas y os deseo todos ustedes mucho amor, alegría, belleza, abundancia, prosperidad y fuerza en vuestras vidas como artistas y personas. Come se dice in italiano, spero che tutti voi abbiate festeggiato gli compleanni magnifici e vi auguro molto amore, gioia, belta, abbondanza, prosperitá e forza nelle vostre vite come artisti e persone. This is also dedicated to all of the Blossoomer, Brickercup, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Boomubbles OTP shippers from all over the world. So, sit back, relax, and soak in that Blossoomer authenticity, that Brickercup awesomeness, that Butchubbles loveliness, that Blossutch gorgeousness, and that Boomubbles sweetness. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, RRB x PPG shippers and fans of all ages, I present to you all two sets of pairings that mean the whole world to me, as we have 28-year-olds Brick, Butch, and Boomer and their 26 going on 27-year-old wives Buttercup, Bubbles, and Blossom being the absolutely adorable and loving couples that they are with Butch and Boomer sharing Blossom and Bubbles as their wives. Above is my most favorite category of RRB x PPG pairings known to the shipping world as the mixed color couples or the color-clash couples consisting of Boomer x Blossom aka Blossoomer, Brick x Buttercup aka Brickercup, and Butch x Bubbles aka Butchubbles. The flexibility, interest, versatility, positivity, and brilliance found in these couples are enough for me to proudly call them my most beloved set of OTPs. What makes me love the color-clash couples is the number of positive vibes I can see through them. With Blossoomer I can see a relationship that is based on unconditional love, unwavering loyalty, wholehearted attentiveness, heaps of compassion, and a sense of boundless positive encouragement between Boomer and Blossom. Boomer could use his lovable dumb muscle personality and kindness to reduce Blossom’s ego and obsession with trying to keep everything perfect and Blossom could use her diplomacy and cognizance to increase Boomer’s self-esteem and boost his inner strength. Ergo, I would go out of my way and say that Blossoomer is not only the greatest color-clash couple ever but also the greatest RRB x PPG couple of all time trumping even the likes of Brickercup, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Boomubbles combined. Brickercup is a relationship that is based on perseverance, resilience, fortitude, determination, and gutsiness. Brick and Buttercup are a picture-perfect example of showing how difficult it can be being in a relationship because it is not always going to end with happily ever after. However, knowing how much Brick’s large-and-in-charge and overall big personality can mesh well with Buttercup’s rambunctiousness is enough for me to keep rooting for them to cut through every single obstacle and find spicy intimacy and joy with each other. Butchubbles is the couple that surprised me the most because their relationship is based on versatility, lovability, understanding, and oodles of positive vibes. Just because Butch and Bubbles are a clear-cut example of having the big, strong, tough bad boy pair up with the lovely, sweet ingenue with an edge as seen in anime such as “Midori Days” and “Paradise Kiss” does not mean that I cannot find anything fresh and interesting in Butchubbles. Butch would definitely be turned on with Bubbles physical flexibility and her “Bubblevicious” side as well as find comfort in Bubbles’ brand of kindness and lovability. Meanwhile, Bubbles would be immensely attracted to Butch’s super strength, how ruggedly handsome he is, and how he is so willing to go out of his way to protect her from all harm while also being the chivalrous pervert on some occasions. It also helps matters that I can easily consider magnificent and brilliant artists such as xahCHUx, BrickercupMasterX3, KatyGorl, xmysticaldreamsx, and Scarlettbreaking not only as really great friends but also sisters from other mothers when shipping the color-clash couples, especially where my most esteemed and most beloved Blossoomer is concerned. Below is my personal set of RRB x PPG OTPs which I would gladly call the best pairing from each couple category i.e. the best pairing from the color-clash couples is Brickercup even though Blossoomer has knocked down its title, Blossutch is the best color-crack couple, and Boomubbles is the best color-coded couple. It should be no surprise that I have been very consistent when it comes shipping Brick and Buttercup as an awesome couple because I can see neither Brick with any other girl nor Buttercup with any other boy. That is just how much I not only admire the ground Brickercup walks on but I am also very proud to keep them as a wonderfully monogamous couple in my Team Xtreme headcanon. I can easily brand Blossutch as the most gorgeous, most sexy, and most flexible of my set of OTPs because of how marvelously Butch’s tremendously prodigious and muscular strength can complement Blossom’s extensive vernacular and lethal accuracy. On top of that, Blossom is not a damsel in distress by any stretch of the imagination because she can prove herself to be brave, diplomatic, and strong enough not only to tame Butch from his wild urges but also love him for how strong, tough, and loyal he is. Butch would not be afraid to show his softer to Blossom and he would even help her not be so caught up…
Ladies, gentlemen, and Rowdyruff Boys and Powerpuff Girls fans of all ages. I present to you one of the members of the Team Xtreme Next-Gen’s rogues’ gallery. I am, of course, talking about one of HIM’s incarnations, the foul-mouthed, cruel, mean-spirited, condescending, ruthless, psychotic, and sociopathic Caruella Brana DeVile. She is a demoness who attacks her opponents with her massively towering size, her spiked tail, her durable and sharp tusks, horns, claws, and fangs, and, most of all, her ability to hurl out the most hateful, cruel, and nastiest insults with her poisonous, acid-dripping viper’s tongue, thus attempting to weaken all of her opponents with this most powerful weapon, especially her most hated foes the new generation of Team Xtreme heroes and heroines. It has been a long time in the making since I wanted to design some monsters for all of the Blossoomer, Brickercup, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Boomubbles children to fight against because having to have the children fight against the old rogues’ gallery i.e. HIM, Mojo Jojo, Major Man, Sedusa, Femme Fatale and many others would be really repetitive. Moreover, thanks to Matt aka KingShisa08 whose Godzilla Reborn fan art series and amazing creature designs have given me so much inspiration throughout the years, I thought it would be fun to design one of the many monsters that the next generation of Ruffs and Puffs will fight against. As one can tell, HIM is essentially akin to Naraku in my Team Xtreme headcanon and he does not need any life partner to “bear his children”. HIM does this by creating minions from his own essence, specifically through forming his offspring from his clumps of flesh, and the evil aura that surrounds him. From there, he creates Caruella the condescending demoness with a foul mouth and a bad attitude, Obnoxia the spoiled brat of a demoness who loves to manipulate those around her and who craves for lechon 24/7, Ignorania the ignorant demoness who shows little to no regard of her own actions and always defends her siblings in the most haughty way, and Saculus the lazy demon who does not like to sully his own hands while being full of slander. The idea of making this particular spawn of HIM was inspired by my former High School bully who made my life a living Hell from second year to fourth year High School. The instances where she called me a “fail at life” and “fail”, acted like such an instigator, acted abusively and in a mean-spirited manner towards me while she was being so nice to almost everyone else, acted really condescendingly when I showed concern, cheered on some of my former batch-mates to yell and get angry at me by saying “Idol (insert person’s name)”, recounted that one incident in our Filipino spoken choir practice where she accused me of calling one of my colleagues an “asshole” when I was actually so pressured and feeling frantic because I did not want to pay another late fee, which also did not help considering that I did not have any cash to do so and broke down, laughed at the time I slipped and fell when I was rushing to get to my classmates’ class photo day, and sneered at me during retreat in my final year of High School, thus refusing my friendship even when I tried being really kind and nice to her, that all happened to me. Ergo, she was a really cruel, cantankerous, two-faced, bad-tempered bitch who took pleasure in making my life as miserable as possible. So, I thought it would be therapeutic if I took all of those bad memories I had with She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and do something creative by coming up with a concept for a monster who could be a recurring villain in the Team Xtreme universe. What better character to “give birth” to this hell-spawn than the flamboyant master of darkness HIM who has been messing with Team Xtreme since 1998. Sure, the thought of She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named still disgusts me to this day even if I am far away from her and have no plans of being friends with her anymore, thus blocking her out of my life. In spite of that, at least still really fun making this wonderfully ruthless creature out of all the hellish experiences I had with her. In conclusion, I have one final message for She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Even though you made my life from Level 10 to Level 12 a living Hell by being such an aggressively incurable and ruthless bitch, even if I can never forgive you for calling me a “fail” or a “fail at life” and even giving me that deadly stink-eye during retreat, even if I can never forgive you for recounting that painful memory in one Sabayang Pagbigkas practice where you accused me of calling one of my colleagues an asshole when in actuality I was in so much stress and anxiety from the fear of paying a late fee, I just want to thank you for providing me with a lot of inspiration. I do not have to bow down to your nastiness and I can find solace in turning all of those shitty moments into things that are worth creating, thus channeling all of the necessary creative energy I have to create monsters and villains that act just as two-faced, rude, ruthless, cruel, and abusive as you were. You are most welcome, you delightfully awful, ruthless witch bitch. You may be out of my life, which is for the best, but I can surely churn out all of the mean things you did and let them be reincarnated into some of my OCs. I hope you all enjoyed this look into my OC and I will see you in my next submission. Take care, everybody. The Rowdyruff Boys and The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.

Ichiro and Kintaro: Greetings, ladies, and gentlemen. Ichiro: I am your lord of uppercuts, hooks, and jabs, Ichiro Miyata. Kintaro: And I am your lord of suplexes, judo flips, and gut punches, Kintaro Touyama. (Ichiro flexes his pectoral muscles and Kintaro flexes his biceps.) Ichiro: We know you cannot resist this. Kintaro: If you want us so badly come and get it. Rose and Solty: Ehem. Sweethearts, we just heard that. Ichiro and Kintaro: Oh. (whisper to the viewers) Just don’t tell our wives that. But until then, have a great day. This piece of Ichiro Miyata and Kintaro Touyama fan art is dedicated to Cecilia aka Neyuni who celebrated her birthday barely a month ago. Entonces, Cecilia, espero que hayas tenido un cumpleaños maravilloso y te deseo mucho amor, felicidad y prosperidad en tu vida como artista y persona. This is also dedicated to the people who ship Ichiro Miyata and Kintaro Touyama as an awesome BroTP. Here we have 35-year-old Ichiro Miyata and 34-year-old Kintaro Touyama being the absolutely dashing, handsome, jacked gentlemen combatants that they are and being as quite the charmers. I personally ship these two as a BroTP because of how their different personalities can be played off of each other with having Ichiro’s focus, no-nonsense attitude, and intelligence complementing Kintaro’s fun-loving, lovable personality. Ergo, it is so fun to see their personalities bounce off of each other. I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you all in the next submission.

Ippo: And enjoy our company doing so. Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo: But…um… (Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo look left and right then lean forward.) Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo: Don’t tell our wives you had your way with us. Rosé, Winry, and Maya: We heard that, you darling devilish studs. Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo: Oh..Hehehe. Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo: Until next time, pleasant dreams. This piece of Baki Hanma, Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa, and Ippo Makunouchi fanart is dedicated to MoonLightcz who celebrated her birthday eighteen days ago. So, I hope you had such a fabulous and awesome birthday and I wish you a lot of love, joy, prosperity, happiness, and abundance in your life as an artist and as a person. This is also dedicated to all of the people who ship Baki, Kiibo, and Ippo as an awesome, strong, and magnificent BroT3 containing three fighters of different combat sports. Here we have 36-year-old Baki Hanma, 35-year-old Kiichi “Kiibo” Miyazawa, and 35-year-old Ippo Makunouchi being the sexy, muscular, handsome, jacked, strong gentlemen that they are, especially considering that they have such magnificent bodies you can stare for days. Resistance is beyond futile because even though they can dish out such awesome fighting moves on the ring, they can be wonderfully gentle and suave if you give them a chance. I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you all in the next submission. Take care, everybody. Baki Hanma from Baki the Grappler belongs to Keisuke Itagaki and Group TAC.

Greetings, all ye fans Powerpuff Girls and Codename: Kids Next Door, it is I your old pal Antoni here with another written entry. As someone who has been growing up with Cartoon Network ever since I was four or five years old, it should come off as no surprise that The Powerpuff Girls and Codename: Kids Next Door are my personal favorite Cartoon Network superhero comedy action shows starring unconventional casts of characters. In The Powerpuff Girls’ case, it has three five-year-old superpowered young ladies who can kick lots of butts while still looking cute and lovely. In Codename: Kids Next Door, it has five tech-savvy pre-teens who use their skills in combat, artillery, and teamwork to combat adult tyranny while having a lot of fun doing so. From seven years old up until now, these were and will always be my staple Cartoon Network shows next to Teen Titans 2003, Dexter’s Laboratory, and Samurai Jack to look forward to not only for the sake of kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying each action-packed and fun moment that goes on with these shows but I can also marvel at how tight the writing was, how the voice actors embody each of their most iconic roles, and how these shows manage to balance action, comedy, and drama so effectively all thanks to the brilliant minds found respectively in Craig McCracken and Tom Warburton. Now, you are also wondering, what do these two shows have in common for me? If you have been reading my posts based on my favorite six-person teams in animation, especially when I gave a lot of special mention to the six-person superhero teams, you will automatically realize that I absolutely adore the teamed-up Rowdyruff Boys and Powerpuff Girls and Sector V plus Katie the Island Girl. Sure, these are mostly headcanon-based but I always figured that when it comes to superhero teams, six is the lucky number that shows stability, great interpersonal dynamics, and mad teamwork skills that could give even the Justice League, the Avengers, and the X-Men a run for their money. Besides, having a ragtag bunch of kids below the age of 12 saving the world from evil shows that children can be very resilient and can put their mind into anything they want to accomplish. Moreover, thanks to such awesome artists such as Bleedman, PurfectPrincessGirl, and PrincessCallyie, just to name a few, I have pretty much gotten myself into the hype that is multiple-universe building in which different characters from different fandoms co-exist in one universe. This has also gotten me to beg this particular question. What if all of the main members of Team Xtreme and Sector V co-existed in one universe? The concept might be ludicrous to some people given how each show is formatted and written. However, with a lot of imagination, creativity, and curiosity, it could be fun and awesome to have different characters finding out what makes them similar and different and just exist in a sort of weird yet wonderful harmony. As you can tell from the title above, I am mainly taking a look at the main six members of Team Xtreme, Sector V, and their main allies. What will follow is a mini-profile for each team in terms of how they were in the show’s run at the time until this very day and even, my most favorite, my most beloved OTPs from each team. Additionally, I have also updated some of the birthdays I have for each team member as well as their ages, and do not fret, for the next written entry will be saved for my other favorite thing to write about, which is the list of fan-children that I and some of my good friends have come up with. With that said, let us get cracking, ladies and gentlemen. Team Xtreme (Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles) Saving Townsville and the world since 1998, we have Team Xtreme which is a result of The Rowdyruff Boys and The Powerpuff Girls joining forces after the boys not only befriended the girls and realizing that they can work magnificently together as a superhero team but also the fact that Brick, Butch, and Boomer lovingly accepted Miss Sara Bellum as their own mother and eventually having Mr. Green join the family fray as their most beloved father. Ever since then, Brick, Butch, and Boomer have grown up to be the upstanding, charismatic, strong, handsome gentlemen that they are today and Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles have grown up to be the dynamic, brilliant, gorgeous, and athletic ladies that they are. They are not going to retire the superhero business anytime soon, seeing that it is their job and their livelihood, and their children are also doing fine of a job ensuring that they use their powers for good, therefore keeping Townsville and the world safe from all forms of harm. Moreover, the children are having the torches being passed on to them, thus making sure that their parents’ exciting legacy will live on in Townsville’s hearts. This superhero team has an exceptional ensemble with Brick’s proud and confident leadership, Butch’s brute strength and fierceness, Boomer’s complete athleticism combining super strength, unwavering endurance, lightning speed, and a great sense of humor, Blossom’s overall savviness, Buttercup’s unwavering endurance, and Bubbles’ peerless physical flexibility and pacifist nature gelling this team together until the end of time. Brick “The Bludgeoner” Green Age: 28 Birthday: March 12, 1991 Position in Team Xtreme: The Determined Leader Special Powers: Pyrokinesis and Fire Manipulation Six Words to Best Describe Brick: Determined, Large-and-in-Charge, Confident, Street Smart, Protective, Intrepid Status: Married to Buttercup since 2011. Butch “The Baron of Berserk” Green Age: 28 Birthday: March 12, 1991 Position in Team Xtreme: The Brutish Muscle and The Second-in-Command Special Powers: Tornado Punch and Creating a Force Field Six Words to Best Describe Butch: Brutish, Impulsive, Rough, Wild, Super Strong, Fierce Status: Married to Bubbles and Blossom since 2011. Boomer “The Fleet Athlete” Green Age: 28 Birthday:…
Greetings, all ye Rowdyruff Boys and Powerpuff Girls fans, shippers, and aficionados, it is I, Antoni, with another written entry. I am very sure that a lot of my already experienced readers are totally aware of how passionate I am about the RRB x PPG pairings I love the most and the ones I like the least, which, in turn, is a lot of fun to do, especially when creative, inspirational ideas come flowing in left and right for the pairings that I especially cherish where my Team Xtreme headcanon is concerned. Nonetheless, I hope you all take some time to enjoy this manifesto of what I think about the color-coded, color-clash, and color-crack Rowdyruff x Powerpuff couples. With that said, let the expositing begin. The Color-Coded Pairings (Boomubbles, Blossick, and Butchercup): The Blandest, Most Boring, and Most Overrated Set of Pairings Ever! Bar None! This is the particular set of pairings which manages to leave me feeling bored, uninspired, drained, indifferent, and uninterested. It also does not help matters that there are some shippers who either give puerile reasons for shipping the color-coded pairings as the be all and end all set of couples or give some of the most pretentious explanations that I find myself laughing my butt off while rolling my eyes in mild to major disinterest. Ergo, color-coded couple shippers of the world, come at me because I have this to say. I do not give two damns about all of the color-coded couples except for Boomubbles which is awesome in the best case scenario and plain fluffy to the point of diabetes in the worst case scenario. These days as a 27-year-old, they literally do nothing for me, as these couples have left me feeling bored to death. At least, the fan art can be nice to look at, especially if those artists have very skilled hands, but these days I am more than through with reading any fanfic centering around Butchercup, Blossick, and Boomubbles, especially the former two because Blossick and Butchercup annoy me to no end. The only pairing that has managed to salvage it for me is none other than Boomubbles aka Boomer x Bubbles aka the Blues because of how sweet, endearing, and healthy their relationship can be. Sure, Boomubbles’ brand of sweetness and lovability is on the fluffy side but when all is said and done I would rather root for the Blues to be the star-crossed lovers that they are. As for Blossick and Butchercup, I do not have to reiterate just how fed up I am with both the Reds and the Greens as couples. Don’t get me wrong, I can enjoy good Blossick and Butchercup fan art but the whole appeal of these two as couples baffles me to no end. I still cannot fathom why on earth Blossick is the most popular color-coded RuffPuff pairing to the point of being the poster children of a strong relationship between a Ruff and a Puff when Boomubbles could have taken that title and when there are better pairings for both Brick and Blossom. Moreover, do not get me started on how bloated their egos tend to be. Two huge egos rubbing against each other and ending up in a relationship is not the way to go and the Reds can do a Hell lot better. This is the same case I feel for Butchercup. As I stated before, I will not fault anyone who knows how to make Butch and Buttercup work as a couple whether in the form of fan art of fanfiction. However, what I can see from the stubborn, hard-headed, loud, overly competitive Greens is that they would not end up functioning as a proper couple because of how much emotional constipation is present between the toughest fighters. At best, they would function much better as good friends and nothing more. Overall, I would have completely discarded this overrated set of RuffPuff Pairings. This has nothing to do with the fact that they look and act too similar but it has something to do with how overloaded the RRB x PPG shipping fanbase tends to be with works pertaining to Boomubbles, Blossick, and Butchercup, especially the overratedness found in Blossick. If it were not for Boomubbles’ brand of lovability and sweetness, I would have discarded all of the color-coded ships to the deepest of oblivion and just let all of the couples settle for being friends. At least that is a nice resolution that I have for both Butch x Buttercup and Brick x Blossom. In Butchercup’s case, I would rather let these two enjoy kicking villain butt while having a great time being the best of friends having a laugh and playfully bugging each other. As for Blossick, I am more content keeping Brick and Blossom as good friends who at least have each other’s back and their friendship would just be too precious to spoil with romance. Finally, Boomubbles is good to stay no more and no less. I have seen enough color-coded RuffPuff couple fan art and read enough color-coded RuffPuff couple fanfics to say that I have shipped them and seen them as couples once and I will never do the same thing ever again. The Color-Crack Pairings (Blossutch, Brickubbles, and Boomercup): An Enjoyable Set of Pairings but Not Enough For Me to go Screaming Euphorically to the Heavens This is the set of pairings that I enjoy and that leaves me with a rather fuzzy, breezy, and kind of euphoric inside of me. It also helps matters that Blossutch reigns supreme over Brickubbles and Boomercup combined for reasons you would have already know but for those who are new to this, here are the basics of why I love me a whole lot of Blossutch. I can easily consider Butch x Blossom aka Blossutch aka The Watermelon Couple to be the best color-crack RuffPuff couple of all time. The appeal of a strong, roguish yet charmingly brutish bad boy pairing…
