This is my submission for Bunnitch month as spearheaded by BrickercupMasterX3, which was supposed to be accomplished yesterday but I had other things to accomplish. So, Paula, I am really sorry this was rather late but I still hope you find it in yourself to enjoy this. Don’t worry, though, the next Bunnitch submission for today is in the works. As Citysville’s heroic vigilantes, Mitch and Bunny are the types of people who bear the mantra of, “My body is a temple.” They certainly live up to that said mantra what with Mitch doing all that weightlifting and Bunny knocking down that punching to the greatest of her abilities. So, Mitch, Bunny, do you have any words for the viewers at home? Mitch: Sure, man. Ya slackers listening to us? Bunny: Get your slouching butts off that chair or else we’re gonna come over there and mess you up! Mitch: Ya wanna know why? Ya wanna know why? We’ll tell you why? Mitch and Bunny: Training is now in session. Me: All right. Thanks a lot. Mitch: No problem. Bunny: It’s our pleasure. Me: So, there you have it. Citysville’s own Mitch Mitchelson and Bunny Utonium Mitchelson proving how important one’s body truly is, especially if one is a hero fighting against crime. This has been Antoni Garcia reporting live from Citysville, USA. Good day, everyone. Mitch Mitchelson and Bunny Utonium from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.

This piece of Powerpuff Girls fan art starring Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles is dedicated to kuku88, a fellow DeviantArtist who is also very well-known for a fanfic I really enjoyed called Cheater, Cheater Heartbreaker starring Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup and who is also celebrating her birthday today. So, kuku88, I wish you a very blessed, prosperous, and awesome birthday and I hope you enjoy this piece of fan art and this overall post. Moreover, I dedicate this to all of the wonderful shippers of Blossoomer, Boomercup, and Boomubbles. It’s summertime in Townsville. And while it’s supposed to be a day where everything is blissful, especially when one is going to the beach, our hapless heroines, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles, have found themselves in a bit of a pickle, as in being chased by a perverted, wicked flash mob. Luckily for them, they have someone as big, strong, handsome, noble, and totally awesome like their most favorite Rowdyruff and teammate, Boomer, to be on their side to guard these beauties from those puerile, putrid perverts. What? You think Brick and Butch are the only Alpha Males in Team Xtreme? Well, Boomer can certainly prove that he is just as much as an Alpha Male like his big bros. Here’s the scenario. Narrator: The City of Townsville! And it’s Summertime for our beloved superhero team, Team Xtreme. Brick and Butch have no time to slack off, as they are in constant competition with each other from weightlifting to swimming. Boomer is just basking in the sun. While the ladies…well… (Blossom’s, Buttercup’s, and Bubbles’ screams from the distance are heard and then come nearer, as the three heroines are being chased by young men wearing smug, predatory faces trying to take a picture of one if not all of them.) Pervert 1: Hey, babe, I wanna picture of you flashing your boobs! Pervert 2: Yeah, I wanna have a go at the cutie pie. Pervert 3: Yo, man, I want the muscle chick! Rest of the perverts: Hey, why not have a threesome?! Perverts: Heck, yes!!! Blossom: Unbelievable. It’s summertime and we superheroes deserve a break and this is how we get paid for our work? Buttercup: Stop whining, Leader Girl! These jerks speak only one language and it’s called grab them by the you-know-where. Bubbles: Bloss, BC, I see Boomie! He can save us! (Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles kick it up to high gear, as they rapidly approach Boomer, who awakes from his sunbathing.) Boomer: Hey, darlings, what’s going on? Bubbles: Boomie, you gotta help us! Buttercup: Yeah, Boom Boom Blue, there are some pervs wanting to have their way with us! Blossom: Indeed, Boomer. I know that Brick and Butch are very much the musclemen of Team Xtreme, but you are our only hope too. I know you are just as strong and much of a hunk like your brothers. So, what are you waiting for? The pervert army is coming! The pervert army is coming! (Boomer puts on a serious and determined face, as he sees the slimy pervert band approach.) Boomer: Don’t worry. Stay with me, miladies. Those buttheads will have to get through me first if they wanna trample all over my dead body. Buttercup: Well, let’s hope your muscles will do their work in driving those pervs away from us, Boom Boom. (The pervert band then run to the girls. However, just as they are about to take a picture of Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles, they are stopped by Boomer who does not look too happy.) Boomer: Hey, you. Yeah, you dumb perverts. Leave my girlfriends alone! Pervert 1: Woah. Hey, man, we didn’t mean to have our way with them. We just…um…wanted to court them in a friendly way…right, guys? The Rest of the Pervert Band: Yeah, sure. Boomer: It doesn’t look that way to me. By the way, I also got something else to say. First, Buttercup, you got anything to tell these dummies? Buttercup: Yeah. (Gives a thumbs down like in the picture.) You’re going down, pervs. (The pervert band gulp, as they see Boomer raise his mighty arms. Their expressions range from awe to intimidation, as if though they were in the presence of an Olympian god. Boomer then flexes his tremendous biceps and lets out a tiger’s growl.) Boomer: Grrrr… (The pervert band then shivers.) Boomer: Not convinced, huh? (Boomer then flexes his deltoids and lets out a lower, more spine-chilling tiger’s growl.) Boomer: Grrrr…Now, get out before I give you a pounding. (The pervert band scream and run away like bats out of hell.) Blossom: Thanks so much for protecting us, Boom. We owe you one. Buttercup: Yeah, Boom Boom, you were the bomb. No pun intended. Bubbles: Oh, Boomie! You saved us all! (Bubbles then smothers Boomer with kisses and hugs. Blossom and Buttercup also give him kisses and hugs, thus leaving him with a huge lovestruck grin on his face.) Boomer: Hey, darlings, don’t mention it. It’s always my pleasure to help out my favorite ladies when they’re in need. (Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles giggle. Brick and Butch just came back from their swimming match and approach Boomer and the girls.) Brick: So, what’s up, teammates? Butch: Anything exciting that went on? Boomer: Oh, just the usual stuff. Blossom: Enjoying the sun. Buttercup: Witnessing the surf. Bubbles: And just having a fun, fun summer! (Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles laugh.) Narrator: Well, talk about having a crazy summer. So, once again, the day is saved! Thanks to Boomer! Bless his awesome body and noble soul. As you can tell, one should never mess with Boomer given how he flexes his biceps here. Blossom is totally relieved to have someone like him around. Buttercup is giving the thumbs down to show that whoever approaches Boomer will automatically go down. Finally, Bubbles is screaming her poor head off, as some foes are approaching. Well, kuku88, I hope you enjoyed my birthday present for you and I wish…
I have always wanted a team-up like this to happen. Now, dear viewers, what would happen if you combine Enok’s big, proud, and strong personality with Rahan’s sensible, pragmatic, only sane man nature with Brick’s large-and-in-charge, tough guy attitude with Butch’s brute strength as the muscle? You get an international crossover of a BroT4 which is rather epic and awesome in scale thanks to these four strong, awesome dudes. The way I see it these four studs of MMA fighters could definitely be on par with the Teenage Mutant Turtles with Enok being the proud, focused, and mighty leader of a big brother, Rahan being the brains and the only sane man of the group, Brick being the hothead who constantly gets into scuffles with big bro Enok, and Butch being the muscle who does get into scuffles with his big bros Enok, Rahan, and Brick. In my alternate universe/headcanon, specifically for Enok and Rahan, they are brothers and sons of a strict, no-nonsense single dad, Mogo whose real name in this AU is Maurice. Moreover, they are French-Canadians from Quebec descended from an ancient Native Canadian tribe and Mogo wants to make sure that their heritage is well-preserved. Mogo, being the big, strict, manly patriarch single dad of his house, always has to make sure that his two sons are well-disciplined, well-rounded, have excellent grades seeing that Enok graduated from Montreal’s McGill University with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in History and Political Science and Rahan also graduated from that same university but with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Philosophy and Anthropology, and physically fit, seeing that both Enok and Rahan are also professional MMA fighters, all the way through. Plus, he always has to make sure that Enok acts as the responsible older brother to Rahan. This is due to the fact that Mogo was once upon a time a bodybuilder, a weightlifter, a heavyweight champion in boxing, jiujitsu, professional wrestling, kickboxing, and Pankration, and even served in the Canadian army. Six years after Rahan’s birth, Mogo’s wife was diagnosed with leukemia but sadly lost the battle. He promised her that he will take care of the family with all of his heart, mind, and soul and to this day he lives up to this promise. Aside from being a father to his two sons, Mogo also owns his own mixed martial arts training studio where he is the main instructor and it is a family business. Having a father like Mogo is surely something both Enok and Rahan are forever grateful for, as he is the one who trained them tirelessly, ensured a safe home, and made sure that both of them are on the right track with their lives. As Enok and Rahan came of age, every waking morning before school was spent on sparring matches with their father and with each other and after school, both Enok and Rahan would not only do their homework but also engage in evening sessions with their father before going to bed at 9 PM. Weekends with Mogo, Enok, and Rahan were spent on meditation, more combat training in mixed martial arts, jiujitsu, wrestling, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and weightlifting, walks in the forest, and male bonding in general. This tradition continued even when Enok was dating Tetya and Rahan was dating Noama to the point where both of their girlfriends and eventual wives were rather blessed to have someone as stern like Mogo to put Enok and Rahan in the right direction. Brick and Butch came into Enok’s and Rahan’s lives when they were exchange students in Quebec back when Enok was eighteen, Rahan was seventeen, and Brick and Butch were sixteen. Mogo welcomed Brick and Butch with open arms and made sure that they were not going to be bad influences on his two sons. Initially, things were not easy with the four boys, as Enok constantly got annoyed by Brick’s abrasive temper and always insisting to do things his way and even Butch’s violent streak, Rahan was not a fan of Brick’s and Butch’s incessant bouts of anger, Brick was peeved by Enok’s bossiness and quick judgment as well as Rahan’s nagging, and Butch was also not a fan of Enok shoving it in their faces that he is the eldest and that he is in charge and Rahan constantly headlocking him to calm down. This was even a headache for Mogo, as there were times he almost lost his voice bellowing at all four of them to pipe down, with the solution that Enok, Rahan, Brick, and Butch will sleep in one room together in order for them to cooperate more and cease the fighting. Their four-way competitiveness was present in school, as Enok and Brick had heated debates in political science classes, Rahan and Butch had heated soccer matches in PE, Enok and Butch were always faced against each other in wrestling, and Rahan and Brick were constantly trying to one-up each other in History, English, and Physics. At home, Brick and Butch always managed to let out some steam by having beatdowns with Enok and Rahan monitored by Mogo, thus constantly making sure that the four of them were not trying to kill each other whilst sparring. After some weeks, the initially heated rivalry between Enok, Rahan, Brick, and Butch subsided and they became really good friends. Enok and Rahan were also happy to know that Brick and Butch are part of a six-person superhero team known as Team Xtreme and they found it fascinating that their new friends were also Townsville’s superheroes. It all came to a head when an assault took place between a thug and a man walking to work and Enok, Rahan, Brick, and Butch banded together to stop the felon to the point where they were hailed as local heroes. The man they helped was the Canadian ambassador to Townsville and he gave Enok, Rahan, Brick, and Butch medals of honor to commend them for their deeds. Equally as astounded…
This is my submission for Bunnitch month as spearheaded by my great friend and fellow DeviantArtist, BrickercupMasterX3. So, I hope you all enjoy this. It’s time for our beloved vigilantes to get fancy, swanky, and let the evening be stylishly romantic. So, let’s say we raise our glasses to not only Citysville’s finest heroes but also one amazing, strong couple. Mitch and Bunny from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
Well, it looks like Enok and Rahan, being the jungle lords that they are, are here to show why one should never trespass nor cause any harm to their jungle. Me: All right, guys, looks like we’re all ready to listen. Enok and Rahan: Got it. Enok: If there is one thing we abhor more than anything else in this world- Rahan: It’s when someone decides to waltz in our jungle and destroy it for selfish purposes. Enok: Whether it’s poaching or illegal logging- Rahan: These atrocious activities make us sick to our stomachs. Enok: Lest you forget that the jungle is our home. And we will protect it. Rahan: And if anyone dares to cause harm, well… (Enok and Rahan raise their arms with fierce looks on their faces as if they are about to attack an enemy. They then flex their biceps and let out a huge, earth-shattering lion’s roar!) Enok and Rahan: ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!! Enok: Just remember this. Rahan: Destroy our jungle and we will destroy you. Enok and Rahan: Grrrrr… Me: Well, that was impressive. Enok and Rahan: Why thanks, brother. Me: You’re totally welcome, dudes. Well, I hope you all enjoyed this piece of fanart and until then, I will see you all on the flipside. Enok and Rahan from Rahan: Son of the Dark Age belong to Roger Lecureux, Pascal Morelli, Marc du Pontavice, and Xilam.
This piece of fanart is part of Bunnitch month spearheaded by my most beloved friend and fellow DeviantArtist, BrickercupMasterX3. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Speaking of sitting back, relaxing, and enjoying, it looks like our most beloved vigilantes of Citysville, the rockingly awesome Mitch “The Persecutor” Mitchelson and his darling wife Bunny “The Bouncing Mountain” Utonium-Mitchelson, are having some quiet time with some Pinot Noir while the babies are asleep in their cribs in the neighboring room. These two are certainly living it up, as there are some perks and rewards when it comes to being such a super duo and cleaning up Citysville’s crime rate with flying colors. Mitch Mitchelson and Bunny Utonium from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
This piece of Rahan fanart is dedicated to dawn-refia who is celebrating her birthday today. So, dawn-refia, I hope you have a most blessed birthday and even if you don’t know where this piece of fanart originated from I still hope you are able to enjoy my gift to you. So, I got myself interested in a French-Italian cartoon by Xilam, the same company that made the likes of Oggy and the Cockroaches. What cartoon was that you ask? It was none other than Rahan: Son of the Dark Age. I only knew about the original source material by Roger Lecureux in passing but have only read bits and pieces of it online and I found it kind of fascinating mostly because I do like stories of primitive tribes and action fantasies akin to Tarzan and Conan. So, as I watched some episodes of the Rahan cartoon by Xilam, there were some characters I grew to love and those were Rahan, Enok, Noama, Teyta, Bakur, Chief Moko, and to some extent Ursus, even though I did find him annoying on some occasions. Based on my experience on watching episode 2, I have to say that this made me ship Enok and Rahan as an awesome BroTP given their chemistry. Heck, I almost rooted for Enok to ditch his father and his tribe to be with Rahan and Ursus, to start his life anew, and admit that it was really dumb of him to steal the Cave Dwellers’ idol. However, it was not meant to be, which made me feel sad inside because I was rooting for Enok and Rahan to be best friends forever and be allies. In the show, Enok was about 18 years old and Rahan was about 16 or 17 years old. I decided to age them up to what I think they would look like this year with Enok being 28 years old and Rahan being 27 years old. Moreover, I transported them to the modern times where both Enok and Rahan are MMA fighters, who have gained acclaim not only in their native France but also internationally. I also threw in Ursus for good measure, as he functions as the mascot, and he is holding up a sign that says translated from French to English, “BroTP forever”. I don’t know if there is a French equivalent to BroTP, so please French native speakers and Francophones comment what it is. In my headcanon, when Enok was a teenager he became so fed up with his father’s and his clan’s tight hold on him that he decided to ditch them. Moreover, he decided to swallow his pride and be with the one person he loved as a friend and a brother, Rahan. Rahan was initially hesitant with having Enok around due to his trust issues and how he does not like it when Enok acts rashly and pridefully. After some time, Enok and Rahan decided to bury the hatchet and accept each other as brothers much to the joy of Ursus. In addition to that, after much reflecting, Moko decided to let go of his hatred and animosity and accept Rahan as his younger adopted son, as he understood that Rahan himself led a life as an orphan. Given their passion for self-defense and martial arts, Enok and Rahan enrolled themselves in Muay Thai, MMA, kickboxing, boxing, and wrestling sessions. Day by day, the two men have trained their bodies and minds to reach peak physical performance. From swimming to weightlifting to doing track and field to all the beatdowns they had, there was a sense of mutual fraternal love and respect they had for each other. Moreover, they even made new friends and had new mentors along the way from all over the world. To this day, the two are still proud to call themselves brothers and are happily married, Enok ended up with Teyta and Rahan ended up with Noama. Ursus stayed around to be the official mascot of the two-man MMA team Enok and Rahan made and therefore christened this team as The Jungle Chiefs. Well, I hope you enjoyed this post, especially to all of you fans of the Rahan cartoon series by Xilam. And to dawn-refia, lot’s of love on your very special day. Enok, Rahan, and Ursus from Rahan: Son of the Dark Age belong to Roger Lecureux, Pascal Morelli, Marc du Pontavice, and Xilam.
My submission for Bunnitch month is dedicated to BrickercupMasterX3 who spearheaded this tradition. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy. If it were not already obvious, this is a now grown-up Mitch Mitchelson who is 26 years old and his darling wife and partner in fighting against crime, Bunny Utonium the original fourth Powerpuff Girl who is 24 years old. Given their attire and the overall look of this picture, I made the now adult Mitch an amalgamation of Casey Jones from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Punisher, as he calls himself The Persecutor and his catchphrase is “I will rock you!”, which is a loose reference to Casey’s “Goongala!” and Bunny the Powerpuff Girl version of The Hulk. Specific details will follow for sure. In my experience of being a Powerpuff Girls fan, it never really crossed my mind to have Mitch paired up with Bunny as a couple, as I mostly paired up Mitch with Princess Morbucks and Bunny with her most likely candidate Elmer Sglue. However, since this is Bunnitch month, this pairing in particular really grew on me. There is something rather fascinating about having a hardass, stubborn, roguish badass like Mitch being paired up with a strong, cute, multilayered all-around good girl like Bunny. These two definitely seem to have a healthy synergy, as they have each others’ backs in everything they do as a couple and as crime fighters on their own accord. In my headcanon, Mitch and Bunny currently reside in Citysville where they have formed a vigilante duo. Due to their presence, Citysville’s crime rate dropped phenomenally and they even have Team Xtreme as their closest allies. Therefore with the help of Townsville’s six-person superhero team as well as the government funds, Citysville has seen a dramatic improvement in infrastructure, lifestyle, and politics, as the former mayor ended up fired for good and Citysville made way for a new mayor. Mitch “The Persecutor” Mitchelson has grown up from being a mouthy, obnoxious, mean little Kindergarten twerp to a tough, rough, determined badass who is so willing to open up an entire can of whoop-ass all thanks to his hand-to-hand combat skills through having heated sparring matches with Brick, Butch, Blossom, and Buttercup and even his trusty baseball bat to knock baddies out cold. Growing up, Mitch has shown little to no interest in academics given his background living in a trailer park. Additionally, he had an on-and-off relationship with Princess Morbucks which was, for the most part, toxic, given her overly demanding attitude, her unrealistically high expectations for her choice of boys, and how she constantly manipulated Mitch to do her bidding every single time. However, with the help of his friends, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles, and to some extent, Brick, Butch, Elmer, and Mike, he was able to have enough willpower to finish high school and be finally ditch Princess Morbucks once and for all. He eventually got himself interested in crime and justice, given that his close friends are none other than the members of Team Xtreme themselves, and he wanted to have a go at what he can do to contribute to society. After four years of studying Crime and Justice at Townsville University, Mitch had a job with the police force only for a short time, as the men and women of the Townsville police force could not further put up with his hare-trigger temper. As a result, Mitch moved to Citysville which left Buttercup in tears and left Brick and Butch longing for their favorite sparring partner and closest frenemy to come back. There Mitch met Bunny who was beating up a harasser in her hulking mutated form before transforming back to her regular young woman form. This left Mitch aghast. Bunny immediately recognized Mitch as one of her good friends from school and at that moment his expression went from shock to a pleasant surprise. The two hit it off well to the point where Mitch proposed to her and they were married in a small church with all of their beloved friends as guests. Life in Citysville has changed Mitch’s perspective of the world around him, as he is aware that there is evil everywhere he goes and someone has to put a stop to it. Sure, he is no beacon of morality but he is not one to wallow in his own self-pity or angst, especially since he has a tough and pretty woman to call his own by his side. Bunny “The Bouncing Mountain” Utonium Mitchelson certainly lived a rather interesting life growing up after her resurrection from the events of Twisted Sister. Coming from someone like her who is blessed with immense strength and stamina, she has found it hellishly challenging to control her own powers, especially when she transforms into her mutated form when she gets furious on an unbridled level. After what happened in Twisted Sister, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles brought back what remained of Bunny to their father, Professor Utonium. Having realized what transpired from this and fully realizing what his daughters have been through he knew it was up to him to give Bunny a second chance in life. Through tireless research, putting all the pieces together, and finding a way to stabilize Bunny once and for all, he accomplished his goal for the love of his daughters and through the diligence and hard work he bears as a scientist. To Blossom’s, Buttercup’s, and Bubbles’ joy, Bunny has returned in the flesh. She was more articulate than she was when she was first made and her personality was a mixture of rough-and-tumble and jolly. Moreover, she even managed to make some good friends in Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, especially with one Mitch Mitchelson and to some extent the reformed Rowdyruff Boys. As a child, her relationship with Mitch mostly came off as platonic, as he would end up annoying her at every opportune time and she would always be the one to call him out on his actions,…
Have you ever wondered why Inuyasha’s and Ayame’s family is so powerful? Well, each family member not only has great strength and unparalleled combat skills but to make sure that they reach their full potential they train and train and train. One certainly has to leave it up to such awesome, badass, and courageous parents like Inuyasha and Ayame to ensure that they and their children are fit no matter what they do. In this family, there is no slacking off whatsoever and they live by one rule, either you go strong and go for the gold or go home. Moreover, the love they give to each other as a strong married couple is one that will persevere until the end of time. The same love is passed to their children, as they make sure that they are not only well-nurtured but also formidable enough to stand together as siblings and individually when fighting any foe. Kenta and Keita being the muscle twins that they are as well as being the eldest children are truly their father’s and mother’s sons. Being Inuyasha’s favorite sons certainly has its privileges, as they love to spar, flex, and do lots of fighting with their dear old dad. Plus, Ayame being their mother can totally count on them to protect their family from any harm. So, one should never ever dare mess with Kenta and Keita. Kaito proves he is just as strong as his big brothers and his father, as he is shown stretching and flexing his right bicep. He not only has his father’s and brothers’ insurmountable strength but he is also nimble and fast enough to dodge any attacks. Even though he loves having his dad Inuyasha as his coach, as he makes sure that a young man like Kaito has enough muscle in his system to take down any opponent whether it would be him, his older brothers or any enemy, he loves having his mom Ayame train him in terms of speed and agility. Momoko is truly her mother’s daughter, as she is shown stretching her legs. She bears enough speed and agility to outrun a thousand stallions. Not only does she love to engage in combat with her own mom but she loves to have races with her whether it would be swimming or running. Maya may be the youngest in this family but she is a pint-sized powerhouse. Aspiring to be as strong as her dad and mom is certainly something she lives for and she wants to prove it. She may be a cute flower but even someone like Maya should certainly be reckoned with. I bet you’re also wondering why they are all wearing red. Well, it’s essentially their attire derived from Inuyasha’s signature Fire Rat Robe and it is tailored to good use for this family to show unity. In addition to that, this not only heightens their tribal way of living and it’s not only a fashion statement but given the fact that the material is from the Fire Rat that means they can be well-protected against any and every type of external damage. So, with that said, it’s time for this amazing family to assemble and venture onwards to battle. Inuyasha and Ayame from Inuyasha belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Sunrise. Kenta, Keita, Kaito, Momoko, and Maya belong to me.
“A la luz de la luna yo te miré, yo te miré Y al mirarte mi vida me enamoré, me enamoré. ¡Ay, corazón! ¡ay corazón! Dime si estás enfermo, si estás enfermo de tanto amar. Ya no curarás nunca, ya no curarás nunca, ya no curarás nunca, corazón mío, de tanto amar” -A la Luz de la Luna, Anton y Michelena English Translation: “By the light of the moon, I saw you, I saw you And by seeing you, my darling, I fell in love, I fell in love. Ah, heart! Ah, heart! Tell me if you are ill, if you are ill from so much loving. You will no longer heal, you will no longer heal, you will no longer heal, my heart, from so much loving.” This piece of Hey Arnold! fanart is dedicated to one of my role models in reviewing and a fellow DeviantArtist who celebrated his birthday yesterday, Logan Ridenbaugh aka Hewy Toonmore from Hewy’s Animated Movie Reviews. So, with that said, Logan, I hope you had a wonderful birthday, continue to be as inspiring as you are and keep up the awesome work in everything you do as an artist and as a reviewer. There’s nothing more romantic than having two of my all-time beloved Hey Arnold OTPs, Arnold/Phoebe and Gerald/Rhonda, having an intimate moment on the balcony with the stars and the moon shining upon them. Furthermore, I aged up Arnold, Phoebe, Rhonda, and Gerald to how I would think they would look like this year. So, Arnold is 31 going on 32, Phoebe is 31, Rhonda is 31, and Gerald is 31 going on 32. Yes, I am fully aware that the Arnold/Helga, Gerald/Phoebe, Curly/Rhonda, and Harold/Rhonda shippers are going to start a lynch mob and be out for my blood because Arnold/Helga and Gerald/Phoebe are canon couples and all of that! What I say to that is, bring it on but also please hear me out. I can only tolerate Arnold/Helga and Gerald/Phoebe to a certain degree because at least these pairings have their moments. However, I find the pairings between Arnold/Phoebe and Gerald/Rhonda to be not only endearing in such a charming and cute way but also extremely plausible. So, let’s not waste any time, shall we? Arnold/Phoebe It should come off as no surprise that I have shipping them ever since I was eight years old. My sentiments with this couple have not changed in the slightest. There is something so awesome, plausible, and brilliant about pairing someone as intelligent, diplomatic, kind, caring, bright, and optimistic like Arnold Shortman with someone as eloquent, pragmatic, equally intelligent, brilliant, and rather cute like Phoebe Heyerdahl. Having these two exceptionally brilliant minds and souls being paired up as a couple just spells a healthy relationship and an exceptional synergy between these two. Moreover, loyalty, respect, allegiance, and unconditional love would definitely be the key factors in Arnold’s and Phoebe’s relationship. My headcanon for this couple goes something like this. Arnold and Phoebe started going out with each other in middle school after finding out for so many years that they have something more in common than they thought. With the approval of their best friends and former love interests, Helga and Gerald, Arnold and Phoebe hit it off with each other in an instant. They stayed stable as a couple all the way up to college, which is something phenomenal and, therefore, impossible to accomplish, but they did it. Whatever petty argument Arnold and Phoebe had would be easily resolved with a good talking to, finding the root problem, and making something out of a problematic situation. They attended the same college, the University of Hillwood, where Arnold majored in International Relations and History and minored in Archaeology and English and Phoebe majored in Chemistry and Medicine and minored in Physics and Mathematics. From their bachelor’s to their master’s to their doctorate’s they graduated at the top of their classes. The day after getting their doctorate’s degrees, Arnold proceeded to ask Phoebe for her hand in marriage. She then reciprocated with tears of joy flowing from her eyes. Their parents could not be any happier for their children. Miles and Stella were so proud of Arnold for having someone as brilliant and loving as Phoebe to be his wife. While Kyo and Reba were euphoric that Phoebe found someone as faithful, supportive, and kind like Arnold to be in her life in sickness and in health. Today, Arnold Shortman and Phoebe Heyerdahl-Shortman are the proud parents of four children, Philipp Jr. who is four years old, Stella Jr. and Marie who are two years old, and Craig who is one year old. Moreover, they have long-lasting careers as accredited teachers in Hillwood High, where Arnold teaches History, Political Science, and Philosophy, while Phoebe teaches Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. As parents, they ensure exceptional decorum for their children, lest they should end up turning into juvenile delinquents. Aside from that, they also find time to have fun with their children by going to the zoo, going to amusement parks, and even having strolls in the park. Gerald/Rhonda Somewhere in the back of my mind, I had the feeling this was going to end up as an item in my eyes. Sure, I still paired up Gerald with Cecile, Arnold’s French pen pal, and Rhonda with other guys like Alan Redman, Lorenzo, and/or Rex Smythe-Higgins. However, there is something about these two that make it work. It could be because they put so much emphasis on being cool. It could the fact that they are mostly donned in red as their trademark colors, thus making them more than compatible in terms of their passionate and rather fiery personalities. Or it could be because only a few people ever thought about having them as a couple through the fear of their personality clashes getting the best of them thus making their relationship short-lived. I say it’s a combination of their personalities and how much these…
