This screenshot de-motivational poster is dedicated to all of my Brickercup-shipping friends, fellow artists, fans, and brethren. Ergo, soak in that Pro-Brickercup awesomeness, epicness, and greatness. I am fully aware that a lot of you who are fans of the Rowdyruff Boys and the Powerpuff Girls know that I love, worship, and grovel at the ground Brick x Buttercup or Brickercup walks on because of how effective this particular couple is when one puts their personalities together. Brick’s brand of being large-and-in-charge, determined, focused, street smart, cool, and confident meshes beautifully with Buttercup’s toughness, independence, outspokenness, endurance, directness, and feistiness. Ergo, these two are a rambunctious pair of fighters who show lots of guts, endurance, and courage. Moreover, these two tough fighters define the old phrase “When the going gets tough, the tough get going” in spades and more. What makes them click so effectively are not just their strong, tough, rough personalities coming together in one hot and spicy harmony and synergy, but they are also a clear-cut example of knowing that being in a relationship does not mean immediate perfection and there will always be bumps and stumbles along the way that might hinder them to reach their full potential together such as Brick’s ego and pride and Buttercup’s recklessness and fiery temper. However, with their resilient attitudes, they can be more than capable of overcoming anything and everything not only bettering themselves as individuals but as a couple. Sure, Brick and Buttercup may have their arguments, but they will easily end up bouncing back in the thick of things so long as they do not end up killing each other. Their relationship comes into play when respect and acknowledgement are present, especially where Brick’s experience as a fighter and Buttercup’s passion for combat are concerned. Brick would always be that life partner who can show Buttercup how to properly, effectively use her attacks and focus her energy on the target every single time, thus shaping her combat prowess to its full potential. In turn, Buttercup would learn to not only respect him as a leader but also admire him for being so street smart, well-rounded, and determined and for being so different from his brothers. Together, Brick and Buttercup are inseparable. This also leads me to state that I can see neither Brick nor Buttercup with anyone else because of how loyal they are to each other and how much their skills as fighters can easily complement each other in ways they cannot imagine. Moreover, as you can tell in my Team Xtreme headcanon, they are the ones who are consistent not only in their relationship but also the number of children that they have. This has also come into effect with the art trades I did with fellow Brickercup shipper Katy-Gorl where I also added her Brickercup children to my Team Xtreme universe as well as being in the process of adding more Brickercup children. Therefore, the number of children Brickercup ended up having is twenty children, since I have yet to create a couple more Brickercup children. The first ten are between the ages of 8 and 7, which are the same ages as the ten Blossoomer and ten Butchubbles children, and the younger ten are between the ages of 6 and 1 the same ages as the ten Blossutch and the ten Boomubbles children. Oh, do not fret, I will have positive de-motivationals dedicated to Blossoomer, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Boomubbles for their time will come. Overall, if you think I am going to ever give up my love for Brickercup any time soon, you have another thing coming. Brickercup is way too precious to separate in my eyes because of everything they represent as a couple. They show resilience, determination, and courage in the face of adversity all while being physically and mentally strong enough to take any obstacle down with their bare hands. I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you all in the next submission. Take care, everybody.

Brick/Buttercup
Greetings, all ye Blossoomer, Brickercup, and Butchubbles shippers, fans, and admirers, it is I your old pal Antoni here with another manifesto. Throughout my life of being a hardcore RRB x PPG shipper, especially since this dynamic comes into play in my Team Xtreme headcanon, I have abandoned the color code couple campaign with no regrets whilst keeping Boomubbles intact as my most favorite one of that especially overrated bunch and expanded my horizons to the color clash and color crack couples. While Blossutch stands tall as the best color crack couple with Brickubbles and Boomercup trailing behind as nothing more than cute, innocent pairings, the color clash couples, i.e. Blossoomer, Brickercup, and Butchubbles, have reigned supreme as the best, greatest, and most epic set of RRB x PPG pairings ever to the point where I could easily call Brickercup as the OTP I ship the most in quantity, Blossoomer as the OTP I ship the most in quality, and Butchubbles as the OTP I ship that has delightfully surprised me in more ways than one. So, I hope you wonderful readers allot some time to take a gander at this manifesto, as I explain what makes the color clash couples appealing in my eyes with not just them as an overall fine set of couples but also how each individual couple functions. The Color Clash RuffPuff Couples Display Far More Interesting and More Flavorful Interpersonal Dynamics There is not one moment where I feel bored when it comes to seeing how much flavor and interest occurs between the likes of Blossoomer, Brickercup, and Butchubbles, considering how effectively their personalities can play off of each other. It also helps matters that in spite of their many differences, each couple can acknowledge how much they have in common. Brick may be a large-and-in-charge, street smart, rugged, militaristic guy and Buttercup may be a rambunctious, feisty, outspoken, sassy young lady, but what these two have in common is that they are strong, tough, adamant souls who are always willing to pick a fight against any perpetrator. Brick’s experience as a combatant and Buttercup’s relentlessness are an amazing combination that shows a deep bond based on perseverance and determination. Therefore, Buttercup would learn new fighting moves from Brick and Brick would be amazed at how strong Buttercup can be because someone as large-and-in-charge, determined, and tough like Brick would never want to settle for another pretty, dainty face and an outspoken soul like Buttercup would never settle for another handsome face. Therefore, Brick and Buttercup are more than just soulmates destined to be together but they are also the couple who are capable of forming a relationship and remaining forever unbreakable. Just because Butch is brutish, rough, tough, wild, super strong, and fierce and Bubbles is sweet, innocent, cheery, sociable, nurturing, and kind, does not mean they cannot have a certain symbiosis together. Their love for animals, sports, and surreal art could make them realize that there is a lot more to each other than meets the eye. One should never forget the many times a big, strong guy like Butch would go out of his way to protect Bubbles from all forms of harm being the fierce, raging bulldog that he is to his foes yet being tender and loyal to Bubbles. Meanwhile, Bubbles would use her ability to empathize, be attentive, be merciful, and be compassionate to understand what is troubling Butch so that he will not have to go back to his old demons ever again. Moreover, they can even find a lot of fun doing every and any type of physical activity with Bubbles cheering for Butch whenever he involves himself in football or wrestling. Boomer and Blossom would easily have the deepest, most genuine, and most soulful relationship among the other couples considering how wonderfully Boomer’s sympathetic, lovable dumb muscle, good-humored personality can be a great complement to Blossom’s elegance, class, and eloquence. Boomer may be interested in weightlifting, wrestling, boxing, mixed martial arts, track-and-field, and soccer and Blossom may be interested in science, politics, fashion design, world literature, Shaolin Kung Fu, and capoeira but what both of them have in common is their love for classical music, opera, Broadway musicals, fine art, various martial arts, learning about various cultures, and languages. When all is said and done, Boomer can help Blossom enjoy the simpler and finer things in life while Blossom can help Boomer become more open-minded of the world around him while being very supportive of every physical activity he gets himself into. The possibilities for more interesting dynamics going on between the color clash couples will be endless, which leads me to my next point. All of The Color Clash RuffPuff Couples Can Find The Best Qualities from Each Other It is often said that a relationship needs both partners to root for each other through thick and thin, thus making it a long-term one. This is what the color clash RuffPuff represent in my eyes. Unlike Blossick’s easy falling-apart due to their egos and Butchercup’s sham of a relationship due to their stubborn personalities, thus making the latter pairing a clear example of Karmic soulmates, the color clash couples do not have any form of chaos or violence occurring between each other. I could make the same argument for Blossutch and Boomubbles, but the likes of Blossoomer, Brickercup, and Butchubbles demonstrate how they can see the best from each other in spades and even more. This creates more synergy, a stronger bond, and more positive vibes to occur between Boomer and Blossom, Brick and Buttercup, and Butch and Bubbles. Brick’s and Buttercup’s case is simple because of how much Buttercup can look up to Brick as someone who has so much experience in combat while helping her polish her skills and how much Brick would be able to see beyond Buttercup’s feistiness and see someone who is courageous enough to let her opinions be heard loud and clear. As I stated before, these two…

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…
Greetings, all ye hardcore Blossoomer, Brickercup, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Boomubbles fans, shippers, and followers from all over the world, it is your old friend Antoni here with another written entry. I know it is old news for me to be gushing on and on about my most beloved OTPs being Blossoomer, Brickercup, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Boomubbles but these are the pairings that mean the world to me because of the human qualities I can find even though Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles are deemed as Townsville’s finest superheroes. Moreover, these are the OTP ships that I will never take for granted and never let go because of how much inspiration I can be able to gather from Brick’s and Buttercup’s monogamous relationship to the polygamous relationships of Boomer x Blossom, Butch x Bubbles, Butch x Blossom, and Boomer x Bubbles. However, I am not just saying this as someone who ships Blossoomer, Brickercup, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Boomubbles with such passion, resilience, ambition, and determination but also as someone who has been completely inspired by my very good friends and fellow artists who share my love for these aforementioned pairings. The truth remains that with all of these pairings that I cherish so much, there is always bound to be qualities about them that make me want to root for them to the nth degree. With that said, let us discuss the best qualities found in Blossoomer, Brickercup, Butchubbles, Blossutch, and Boomubbles. Let the couples admiration commence, ladies and gentlemen.
Greetings, all ye Brickercup, Blossoomer, Blossutch, Butchubbles, and Boomubbles OTP shippers and fans from all over the world, it is I your old pal Antoni here with another written entry. Yes, I know this is kind of blasé to my readers who have tuned in to my most favorite RRB x PPG ships of all time and the children I and my dear friends KatyGorl, Misse-the-cat, and CottonCandyGrl1969 have in store for them but I figure it would be nice to put in some headcanons as to how the couples’ lives are faring these days and some general headcanons for the children. With that said, let us get cracking. The Handsome, Strong, Dashing Superhero Dads and The Gorgeous, Athletic, Awesome Superheroine Moms Brick “The Bludgeoner” Green Age: 27 Birthday: March 5, 1992 Position in Team Xtreme: The Intrepid Leader Five Words that Best Describe Brick: Determined, Courageous, Protective, Street Smart, Tough Status: Married to Buttercup since 2011. Butch “The Baron of Berserk” Green Age: 27 Birthday: March 5, 1992 Position in Team Xtreme: The Brutish Muscle and The Second-in-Command Five Words that Best Describe Butch: Super Strong, Fierce, Impulsive, Wild, Rough Status: Married to both Bubbles and Blossom, respectively since 2011 and 2012. Boomer “The Fleet Athlete” Green Age: 27 Birthday: March 5, 1992 Position in Team Xtreme: The Comic Relief and The Lovable Dumb Muscle Five Words that Best Describe Boomer: Athletic, Loyal, Super Strong, Super Fast, Noble Status: Married to both Blossom and Bubbles, respectively since 2011 and 2012. Blossom “The Commander and the Leader” Utonium-Green Age: 26 Birthday: April 1, 1993 Position in Team Xtreme: The Tactician and The Brainy Beauty Five Words that Best Describe Blossom: Levelheaded, Classy, Cognizant, Savvy, Poised Status: Married to both Boomer and Butch, respectively since 2011 and 2012. Buttercup “The Toughest Fighter” Utonium-Green Age: 26 Birthday: April 1, 1993 Position in Team Xtreme: The Athletic Brawler Beauty Five Words that Best Describe Buttercup: Rambunctious, Independent, Brave, Feisty, Outspoken Status: Married to Brick since 2011 Bubbles “The Joy and The Laughter” Utonium-Green Age: 25 Birthday: April 1, 1994 Position in Team Xtreme: The Optimistic Pacifist Five Words that Best Describe Bubbles: Merciful, Forgiving, Nurturing, Loving, Generous Status: Married to both Butch and Boomer, respectively since 2011 and 2012. My Most Precious Main Team Xtreme OTPs Of All Time As one can tell from my main OTP ships involving the Ruffs and the Puffs, Brick x Buttercup is the only OTP that is strictly monogamous, considering that they are too precious to separate. Moreover, I can see neither Brick the Bludgeoner nor Buttercup the Toughest Fighter with anyone else, since these two clearly deserve each other. Ever since I got myself into KatyGorl’s art trade involving her Blossoomer and Butchubbles children, even though I was and will always be a hardcore Blossutch and Boomubbles shipper, I came to the marvelous conclusion that Butch, Boomer, Blossom, and Bubbles end up in a polyamorous relationship. Henceforth, Blossom and Bubbles share husbands and their nights of intimacy go something like this. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Boomer and Blossom have their nights of consummating their feelings, which is the same case for Butch and Bubbles. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, Butch and Blossom have their nights of passion, which is also the same case for Boomer and Bubbles. Then Sunday, all four of them share spouses, which means that Butch gets to make love with both Blossom and Bubbles and Boomer gets to make love with both Blossom and Bubbles. Ergo, the polyamorous relationship involving Butch, Boomer, Blossom, and Bubbles is entirely and legitimately consensual. So, folks, this does make the whole relationship dynamics a lot more interesting than I ever thought of, which really shows my undying loyalty to all of the color-clash RuffPuff couples from Blossoomer to Brickercup to Butchubbles, the best color-crack couple found in Blossutch, and the best color-code couple found in Boomubbles. You are most welcome, dear readers. With that out of the way, let’s go to some couple headcanons. Brick x Buttercup (Brickercup) Brick and Buttercup have been married for eight years and with time they bore sixteen children, thus making them the huge, rambunctious, tough family that they are. Brick is still that large-and-in-charge, determined, roguish gentleman that he is and Buttercup is still that mischievous, outspoken, tough bombshell that she is. At the end of the day, they love each other for it and even in spite of some arguments, which are otherwise minor, they still manage to find themselves back together and have a lot of moments of spicy intimacy. Brick’s strength, determination, roughness, and large-and-in-charge masculinity is certainly a wonderful complement to Buttercup’s rambunctiousness, feistiness, and foolhardiness. Ergo, they could not have asked each other for a better spouse. As parents, Brick always ensures discipline in the household and Buttercup is the parental figure who implements it just as well. Their children look up to Brick because of how strong, tough, and rugged he is, while they look up to Buttercup for how tough, determined, and independent she is. Together, they ensure that their children stay as healthy, vibrant, and strong by doing a lot of physical activities with them. Overall, Brick and Buttercup are completely blessed to have each other in their lives, as they stick to each other like glue. Boomer x Blossom (Blossoomer) and Butch x Blossom (Blossutch) Blossom has been married to Boomer for eight years and has been married to Butch for seven years. Together, she ended up having sixteen children with them, the first eight were with Boomer as the father and the second eight were with Butch as the father, thus taking custody of all of the children she bore with them, at times with Bubbles helping out. Blossom is still that perceptive, cognizant, level-headed beauty, Boomer is still that lovable, adorable, physically strong dumb muscle, and Butch is still that tough, rough, wild, animalistic, badass muscle dude that he is. Ergo, their dynamics as couples are wonderfully interesting….
Greetings, all ye Blossoomer, Brickercup, and Butchubbles fans and shippers, it is your old pal Antoni here with another written entry. You all knew this was coming and, for that, I am very excited to express my thoughts on this particular set of RuffPuff couples that I love so much. Introduction Once upon another time, I would have been a straight-up color-clash Rowdyruff x Powerpuff shipper and I would have been proud of it. Additionally, I would have easily considered the color-coded RuffPuff couples, i.e. Boomubbles, Butchercup and especially Blossick, to be the most overrated, over-loved, overpraised, and over-amassed set of pairings ever to the point of clogging the PPG fandom. Ergo, I would have gone out of my way and stated the color-coded pairings are bland, flavorless, dull, and really boring. As for the color-crack ships, I would have simply tolerated them all, called it a day, and that was it. Granted, there is a little bit more interest found in Blossutch, Brickubbles, and Boomercup, and these are the set of couples that do need a lot more love. However, my feelings for the color-crack couples would have been limited to me saying that they are fine and that is all. Don’t get me wrong. I cherish Boomubbles so much because of how naturally Boomer and Bubbles click as a couple. I really love the interesting interactions Blossutch has in terms of Butch’s and Blossom’s differences and how they play off of each other in a fun way. However, at the end of the day, I have to give it to Blossoomer, Brickercup, and Butchubbles aka The Color-Clash RuffPuff Couples for showing much more exciting dynamics, a lot more soul, and so much stability in any relationship. Whether it is Blossoomer’s brand of genuineness, empathy, and sacrifice, Brickercup’s exciting flair, pizzazz, and synergy in spite of the occasional rockiness, and Butchubbles being living proof that one should not judge a book by its cover, it is clear as night and day that the color-clash RuffPuff pairings seem to guarantee a lot more flavor, dimension, feeling, and interest as opposed to the blandness and one-notedness found in the color-coded RuffPuff pairings. So, after years of assessing, rethinking, and keeping my mind, heart, and soul open to new coupling possibilities, I can safely attest that Blossick annoys me for how overrated it is and Butchercup leaves me drained, thus making me fall out of love with these two “pairings” alongside Mitch Mitchelson x Princess Morbucks for being the pairings I used to like but nowadays find them to be godawful. At least, Boomubbles is not as bad as the former two, which is why I can say that this is my OTP of the color-coded category. Moreover, I can even state that while I think Brickubbles and Boomercup are very cute and sweet, it is Blossutch that manages to trump both of them, hence this particular pairing is my OTP of the color-crack category. Finally, even though I love, cherish, and admire Brickercup to the nth degree, Blossoomer has found itself atop the gold medal standard of the color-clash couples and Butchubbles has stood firmly and shoulder-to-shoulder alongside the other two color-clash couples as my OTPs for life. Eventually, we shall find out why this is so. However, before all of that, I would love to call attention to some of my favorite specialists of the color-clash shippings and elaborate what makes me especially drawn to their works. The Color-Clash Fan Artists Whose Works I Cherish The Most Throughout my one-year tenure of being a DeviantArtist, I have gotten myself acquainted with some of the finest artists to chiefly specialize in the Color-Clash RuffPuff Pairings. Those fine people are BrickercupMasterX3, Pastel—Star, KatyGorl, PrincessCallyie, Citsitra-Blue, xahCHUx, xmysticaldreamsx, PowerpuffObsessed, crystal-sn0w, resotii, QuietLullabies, MissEmmyJay, ColorfulWonders, YokoAnimeProductions, GoldRoseAngel, and Scarlettbreaking. Special acknowledgment has to go to PurfectPrincessGirl for her equally fine pieces of Brickercup, Blossoomer, and Butchubbles fan art and KazunaPikachu and StretchNSnort for being the very people to help me appreciate Blossoomer so much more than I do all thanks to their works. My most beloved sister from another mother, Paula aka BrickercupMasterX3, certainly has a beauty that she injects to her works coupled with the adamance she has over Butchubbles, Blossoomer, and, of course, according to her namesake, Brickercup. Just by looking at how much love she is able to put into her main OTP in her fanart to the memes to some of the fanfictions are enough for me to keep rooting for her as a fellow artist. Looking beyond all that, she has also gotten me to be completely invested with Mitch x Bunny or Bunnitch and their brand of sympathy, lovability, and loyalty towards each other, and we are both major Kenshin x Kaoru OTP shippers. Moreover, I consider her to be a kindred spirit and a great friend because we have a love for pairings that are either outside the box or the ones that ring true to the genuine connection of the characters. Ergo, we have our fair share of OTP ships that we will never abandon and that we will stay loyal to regardless of what fanbase it is. It should be no surprise that I love xahCHUx’s works whether I watch her fan-animated videos on YouTube or take a gander at her color-clash couples art on DA. Sarah always brings a lot of detail, vividness, color, and cleanliness to her character designs, thus making each and every one of her works shine brilliantly in my eyes. Her stand out works on YouTube are her fan-animated music videos of “Gives You Hell” by The All-American Rejects starring Brick and Buttercup, which manages to leave me with a huge smile on my face especially when Butch x Bubbles and Boomer x Blossom get involved near the end, and the ever-tearjerking, ever-poignant fan-animated music video rendition of “My Immortal” by Evanescence’s Amy Lee starring Boomer x Blossom, which managed to leave me bawling on more than one occasion. It…
Greetings, Rowdyruff Boys and Powerpuff Girls fans, it is your old pal Antoni here with another written entry. I know this one, in particular, might sound blasé to some of my more experienced readers but there are some thoughts about the color-coded, color-clash, and color-crack RuffPuff pairings that I would love to have the pleasure of expressing them in earnest. Sure, some of my thoughts remain the same, while others need further clarification. As one can tell, a lot of my thoughts are based on my own headcanons, my experience with reading fanfics focusing on all of the RRB x PPG pairings, looking through RRB x PPG fanart, reading through a lot of RRB x PPG memes and charts, and even my insurmountable immersion with other great superhero shows such as Teen Titans 2003 and Justice League. Moreover, even when Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup did not end up kissing Brick, Boomer, and Butch, therefore having Miss Bellum adopt the Rowdyruff Boys as her own sons, there would be countless possibilities and probabilities on how the boys and girls would end up working together not only as couples but as a six-person superhero team. However, I am getting way ahead of myself. Discussion and debate are always welcome in the comments section so long as they are civil and well thought-out. Furthermore, please keep in mind that these are my opinions and do not come whining to me if you disagree with any of them. With that said, let us begin. The Color-Coded RuffPuff Pairings (Boomer x Bubbles, Brick x Blossom, Butch x Buttercup) This set of RuffPuff pairings is the most popular throughout the RRB x PPG shipping fandom, mostly because of the ending where the Powerpuff Girls gave their kisses to their respective Rowdyruff Boys counterparts before the latter group exploded. Seriously, this is just as popular as Mickey Mouse x Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck x Daisy Duck, and the color-coded Chipmunks x Chipettes pairings (Alvin x Brittany, Simon x Jeanette, and Theodore x Eleanor). While I can understand the appeal of this set of pairings, I also find it to be extremely overrated and, at times, annoying, seeing that this set of RuffPuff pairings take up most of the RRB x PPG shipping fandom. I know this will get a lot of color-code RuffPuff shippers in a tizzy but please take the time to hear me out. The true story is that I used to be a color-code RuffPuff shipper ever since I was between my tweens and teens. Nowadays, I just cannot stand two out of the three color-coded RuffPuff pairings and chances are you already know what they are. Additionally, now as an adult, I basically find the color-coded RuffPuff pairings to be on the bland side at best and troublesome at worst. Even though I can enjoy the wonderful fan artists and fanfiction writers for producing such fine pieces of Boomubbles, Blossick, and Butchercup works, I have taken off those rose-colored glasses and have seen beyond this particularly overrated set of pairings. At least, one out of these three color-coded pairings managed to hold up exceptionally. Boomer x Bubbles (Boomubbles) This is the only color-coded pairing I can ever defend as my OTP and the best of this set of color-coded RuffPuff pairings from here to eternity. Sure, on the surface, if Boomubbles had an ice-cream flavor, it would be bubblegum blueberry swirl, which is pleasing to the palette so long as I am consuming it in moderation. However, looking beyond the sweet fluff, I can see a genuine, well-meaning, pleasing, and peaceful relationship between the blues, as they are the most normal out of their siblings. Considering that my upcoming Rowdyruff x Powerpuff OTP timeline fanart mainly focuses on how Boomer and Bubbles grew as a couple in my headcanon, I am really excited to have this accomplished. All of you Boomubbles shippers will have to wait for the final product because real life and educational priorities have been getting in the way, but here is the itty bitty CliffsNotes version to prepare you all for the real thing. Boomer and Bubbles start off as childhood sweethearts, affirm their relationship all the way up to teenhood, end up married in their young adult years, and start a happily euphoric family. Getting back to the matter at hand, I have been shipping Boomer and Bubbles as a couple ever since I was a teenager and, to this day, I am pleasantly surprised to see how well this particular color-coded pairing manages to hold up. I can imagine them to be unafraid of letting their emotions show and proclaim to the world of their undying love for each other. Moreover, both Boomer and Bubbles can find something positive within each other, thus sealing the deal in their ever-blossoming, ever-sweet relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend as teenagers and husband and wife as adults. Boomer would easily fall for Bubbles’ brand of forgiveness, kindness, physical flexibility, beauty, talent as a performing artist and visual artist, and warmth while Bubbles would be exceptionally fascinated with Boomer’s sympathy, physical and psychological strength, endurance, kindness, and protectiveness, thus making Boomubbles the best color-coded RuffPuff pairing in my eyes. Overall, I can still smile at how much Boomer and Bubbles have sweetness and lovability that few couples can ever compare. In spite of that sweet blueberry bubblegum cotton candy fluff, I can attest that Boomubbles is a treat that I would not mind having over and over again. Brick x Blossom (Blossick) I know that I used to like Blossick but, nowadays, I find this particular pairing really annoying! This is in due part to how overrated BlossSICK really is. Everywhere I go on the internet, whether looking at fanfiction or looking at fanart, Blossick seems to be the poster child for Rowdyruff x Powerpuff pairings. And the whole Blossick hullaballoo does not fricking stop! It makes me even happier that I abandoned the Blossick campaign in its entirety because of how annoying,…

Como decimos en español, espero que hayaís y habeis cumpleaños maravillosos y grandes y os deso mucho amor, alegría, felicidad, abundancia y prosperidad en vuestras vidas como artistas y como personas. This is also dedicated to all of the hardcore Brickercup shippers out there. So, sit back, relax, and soak in that Brickercup greatness. I can definitely attest that Brickercup is the greatest color-clash RuffPuff pairing ever with Blossoomer coming marginally close to that title. Oh, do not worry, Blossoomer and Butchubbles, your time will eventually come just one at a time. As to be expected, words cannot describe how much time and effort I have been putting to this particular Brickercup timeline, as I could not have done this without a whole lot of inspiration, planning, and just having fun with this concept. With that said, let us delve into how Brick and Buttercup came to be as a couple from their beginnings as childhood friends to the first hints of puppy love to gaining more closeness as teenagers to marriage to their current status as adults. Let us get cracking. Kindergarten (October 24, 1998) Six-year-old Brick and five-year-old Buttercup effectively clicked as friends given how he was highly impressed with Buttercup’s speed punches to the midsection during their first altercation. It was from that moment that he not only found a great friend but also a soulmate. Unlike Blossom who would end up having arguments with Brick based on their egos and their know-it-all attitudes, Bubbles who may be nice, kind, and sweet but has always seen her as a younger sister from another, and Bunny who also had her sweet moments and was and will always be a younger sister from another, Buttercup had her brand of toughness, endurance, and strength that made her stand out in Brick’s eyes. Brick liked the fact that Buttercup was not like other girls who tried so desperately to be pretty, shallow or vain for a guy and was a strong, determined, fearless, rambunctious, and mischievous young lady who was unafraid to speak her mind. Brick and Buttercup not only had a firm friendship with each other but Butch joined along with them. It also helped matters that Mitch clicked exceptionally with Brick and Butch, seeing that he was Buttercup’s best friend for life. Sure, Butch and Buttercup argued, shouted, and grumbled at each other countless times, but whenever she was around Brick, she did not have those problems with Butch and was definitely not agitated in the slightest. In fact, she kind of admired his whole method of taking charge of his brothers and the overall superhero team as the leader and showing that he is the boss, his insurmountable physical strength, and his roguish brand of charisma. This got to the point where some kids teased their relationship of being a couple, but they eventually stopped after Brick and Buttercup gave them the evil eye. One ritual they did as young children was their so-called tattoo battle one week before going trick or treating. The tattoos they got were not real, but they were made with colored markers and coloring pens. Brick always loved to draw dragons on his arm because he believed that they were powerful and, much like Brick, can breathe fire. Buttercup always associated herself with snakes because some of them had poisonous venom. At times, they would wrap up by giving each other a good arm-wrestling match and, ultimately, they would have a good laugh with each other. They could not ask each other for a better friend. Little did they know, it was only the beginning of a flourishing relationship. Grade School (Summer 2003) Just a few months before starting the fifth grade, eleven-year-old Brick and ten-year-old Buttercup had a nice stroll in the Townsville Park, where their relationship seemed to end up becoming more than just really great friends. Given her stubbornness and her tough girl reputation, Buttercup found it really awkward that she was walking with some boy who she saw as nothing more than a great friend. At times she pondered that she was only kidding herself if she were to state that she was head-over-heels for Brick. She knew that she did not want to be obvious towards him, lest she feels like a fool in front of everyone. Brick, being both street-smart and book smart, understood how difficult it was for Buttercup to constantly hide from her true emotions. Moreover, he was the first one to admit to her that he really liked her. He went out of his way to say that Buttercup was not like any other girl he met and she was unique. She did not have to be a girly-girl or a super genius or even wealthy because she was Buttercup, the girl who could beat up grown-up burglars with her bare hands, the girl who was unafraid to state her opinion, and the girl who was strong enough to stand on her own two feet. Buttercup was…
Greetings, fans of The Powerpuff Girls, Codename: Kids Next Door, and Teen Titans, Antoni here with another written entry. If you saw my post regarding my favorite six-person teams from some of my favorite shows, you would already know that Team Xtreme which is my headcanon name for the Rowdyruff Boys and the Powerpuff Girls as a superhero team from “The Powerpuff Girls”, Sector V plus Katie from “Codename: Kids Next Door”, and the Teen Titans from Jump City plus Terra and Titans East plus Sarasim were my top entries. You can tell how much I admired these groups because, as you can tell, I grew up watching The Powerpuff Girls, Codename: Kids Next Door, and Teen Titans seeing that these were and will always be my favorite Cartoon Network shows of all time next to Samurai Jack, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter’s Laboratory, Duck Dodgers, and I Am Weasel that also manage to hold a very special place in my heart. Today, I am going to sort out the who’s who in these particular groups, some based on some of the shows’ canon and some based on my headcanons, with their current ages. Get ready to kick some villain butt for the sake of truth, justice, liberty, and, in some cases, the last slice of pizza. Team Xtreme (My Headcanon Name for The Rowdyruff Boys and The Powerpuff Girls as one Superhero Team from “The Powerpuff Girls”) Team Xtreme Members: Brick, the 27-year-old fearless leader who rules with an iron fist, heaps of charisma, and is fiercely protective of his teammates. His special power is his signature fire breath and is a pyrokinesis user. Butch, the 27-year-old brutish muscle who is unafraid to use his Herculean strength to beat up criminals and monsters and help his teammates out in any situation. His special powers are his Tornado Punch and building a forcefield to protect and his teammates. Boomer, the 27-year-old lovable dumb muscle who is the comic relief of the group, loves to tell a good joke and has the strength of Heracles, the combat prowess of Theseus, and the charm of an Apollo. He is a lightning manipulator and can form objects out of raw energy. Blossom, the 26-year-old tech-savvy, articulate, book smart brainy beauty whose wisdom and cool sense of intellect is a great asset to the team. Her special power is her signature ice breath as well as being a cryokinesis user. Buttercup, the 26-year-old rambunctious brawler who is unafraid to let her fists fly and who is any criminal’s worst nightmare. She is a geomancer as well as being a telekinesis user. Bubbles, the 25-year-old sweet, innocent pacifist who ensures that there is unity, good vibes, and great collaboration happening in Team Xtreme. She bears sound-related attacks and is a water manipulator. My love for Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles as one fine superhero team who keeps Townsville safe knows no bounds because of the many character dynamics that can occur. Combining Brick’s large-and-in-charge big brother personality, Butch’s brawny tough guy attitude, Boomer’s lovable dumb muscle funnyman antics, Blossom’s intellect, Buttercup’s fiery attitude, and Bubbles’ innocence as the pacifist is sufficient to show how much strength there is in numbers and being proof positive that with great power comes great positivity, which is the mantra they have learned ever since they were kindergarteners. As adults, they uphold this principle, as it is passed down to their children. Main Team Xtreme Ships: Brick x Buttercup (Brickercup) Boomer x Blossom (Blossoomer) Butch x Bubbles (Butchubbles) Butch x Blossom (Blossutch) Boomer x Bubbles (Boomubbles) Team Xtreme Next Generation: The Brickercup Children (Brad, Bruce, Bailee, Bea, Brett, Bridget, Baxter, Blaster, Brina, Blaze, Brent, Brooke, Brianna, Bane, Bethany, and Bona) The Blossoomer Children (Bloom, Brittney, Beau, Brian, Becky, Belladonna, Basil, and Bramley) The Butchubbles Children (Brandon, Buddy, Brea, Betty, Blithe, Bibi, Blaine, and Blair) The Blossutch Children (Bernadette, Brendan, Blake, Bradley, Belle, Brenda, Belinda, and Barbara) The Boomubbles Children (Bailey, Barley, Bonnie, Brittany, Ben, Birdie, Bali, and Belina) Sector V (Codename: Kids Next Door) Sector V Members: Nigel “Numbuh 1” Uno, the 28-year-old intellectual, articulate, savvy leader of the group who rules with precision and focus. Hoagie P. “Numbuh 2” Gilligan, the 28-year-old lively, enthusiastic comic relief of the group who loves to crack jokes. Kuki “Numbuh 3” Sanban-Beatles, the 27-year-old lovable, innocent pacifist of the group who loves to ensure unity. Wallabee “Numbuh 4” Beatles, the 28-year-old tough, impulsive, wild muscle of the group who loves to dive head-on into battle. Abigail “Numbuh 5” Lincoln-Uno, the 28-year-old cool, calm, collected brain of the group who uses reason to get through anything. Katie “Numbuh 6” Strong-Gilligan, the 27-year-old athletic, gorgeous, well-rounded sixth ranger of the group who is an exceptional combination of beauty, brains, and brawn. Canonically-speaking there have been five members in Sector V and Katie was only an illusion created by Chester to mess with Nigel’s brain. However, since this is my Codename: KND headcanon, Katie is real, alive, and well, hails from Hawaii, and was and will always be the sixth Sector V operative who has been of great use to the team. You are probably wondering why did I not put Lizzie Devine as the sixth operative and instead favored Katie. That is because I cannot stand how shrill, clingy, whiny, and vexatious Lizzie was as a character, especially when she was adamant for having Nigel to herself, and though she had her moments of competence, I highly doubt that she would ever be a reliable KND operative. Getting back to the main six members of Sector V at hand, while all five members show a great deal of interpersonal chemistry and wonderful group dynamics, adding Katie to the mix would prove to be more beneficial since, at least in my headcanon, she is an athletic, intuitive beauty who can fight like a beast with fierceness and precision. Thus, combining Nigel’s articulate leadership, Hoagie’s lovable goofball personality, Wallabee’s toughness, strength, and occasional foolhardiness, Abby’s…
Greetings, Powerpuff Girls fans, it is your old friend Antoni here with another written entry. This time we are going to take a look at the six-person superhero group that has found a wonderfully special place in my heart, at least where my headcanon is concerned. If you are not aware of this, I have been completely inspired by fanfics and fan art of the Rowdyruff Boys and the Powerpuff Girls joining forces as one strong superhero team and not just the ones involving shipping. This got to the point where the idea of Team Xtreme came to be, as I was not only inspired by those said fan installments but also the other shows I grew up with like Justice League, X-Men, The Avengers, Power Rangers, and Teen Titans. You can tell that I am a huge sucker of superhero groups that consist of, ideally, six to, at most, seven people because of the interesting and engaging group dynamics these teams have to offer. All of these have carried through my fascination with grouping the Ruffs and Puffs as the superhero team that they are in my headcanon. With all of that out of the way, let us get to know Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles a bit better, as they are Team Xtreme. Getting to Know Team Xtreme Saving Townsville and the world since 1998, we have Team Xtreme, which is the result of the Rowdyruff Boys and the Powerpuff Girls joining forces after the former group was adopted by Miss Bellum and was raised as her trio of most beloved sons. Adding in Mr. Green as their father also proved to be just as great, as Brick, Butch, and Boomer had and will always have a father to groom them into the fine gentlemen that they are. With their different skills and abilities, Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles have proven themselves to be Townsville’s finest superheroes from their times as kindergarteners all the way up to adulthood. Brick “The Bludgeoner” Green Age: 27 Birthday: March 5, 1992 Position in the group: The Leader Special Power: Pyrokinesis and many other fire-related attacks Status: Married to Buttercup since 2011. Likes: Basketball, Soccer, Football, Rugby, Boxing, Pankration, Muay Thai, Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Weightlifting, Bodybuilding, Wrestling, Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Heavy Metal Music, Rock ‘n Roll, Graphic Novels, Jidaigeki films, Seinen anime, Mystery Shows, Roller Coasters Dislikes: Crime, Corruption, Anyone who hurts him, his teammates and/or his family, Laziness, Lack of Motivation, Cowardice, any creative installment that panders to the lowest common denominator, schmalzy chick flicks Relationships within the Team: Butch Green (brother), Boomer Green (brother), Blossom Utonium-Green (good friend and sister-in-law), Buttercup Utonium-Green (wife), Bubbles Utonium-Green (best friend and sister-in-law) Relationships outside the Team: Mr. Green (father), Mrs. Bellum-Green (mother), Professor Utonium (father-in-law), Mrs. Keane-Utonium (mother-in-law), Bunny Utonium-Mitchelson (sister-in-law), Mitch Mitchelson (best friend and brother-in-law), Mike Believe (best friend), Robin Snyder-Believe (best friend) Brick is the intrepid, large-and-in-charge, tough, confident, resourceful, street smart, and well-rounded leader of Team Xtreme and is the overall oldest not only among his brothers who are also born the same day and year as him but also among his teammates. He may rule with an iron fist but he is extremely protective of his group. Ergo, any harm that is done to his brothers Butch and Boomer, his close comrade and really good friend Blossom, his wife Buttercup, and/or his best friend and little sister-in-law Bubbles would be enough to trigger him to beat up any perpetrator and put him in his place, thus showing the juxtaposition of Brick being harsh towards his enemies yet tender, supportive, and encouraging towards his comrades. Brick’s confidence and large-and-in-charge attitude are what make him stand out as Team Xtreme’s courageous leader. These traits have also carried through from kindergarten to grade school to middle school to high school to college to marriage. This even got to the point where he was one of Townsville High’s most well-rounded and popular young men ever, participating in a plethora of athletic, scientific, and social clubs, thus making his reputation at Townsville University absolutely laudable. While Brick has these said traits, they can also make him prone to arrogance, being irate for the littlest of things, overly demanding, highly strung, and overprotective. Luckily for him, he has his teammates and friends to keep his feet on the ground and remind him that he does not have to battle all of these things alone. Brick’s dynamics with his teammates show a lot of versatility and interest from the epic bromance he has with Butch to the competitiveness he has with Boomer to he and Blossom butting heads in terms of their strong beliefs only to come to an agreement with a good conversation to his sensually romantic intimacy with Buttercup to his big brother protectiveness when he is around Bubbles. When all is said and done, Brick is grateful to have his favorite brother Butch for supporting him as his second-in-command and for being his best friend for life, his other brother Boomer for his jokes and humor and for all of the competitions they have together, Blossom for challenging him to be a better person, for being a really good friend, and an awesome comrade-in-arms akin to a younger sister, Buttercup for unconditionally loving him in spite of his flaws, and Bubbles for her moral support and for being like his little sister from another mother. Brick’s main element is fire and he uses it whenever he and/or his teammates are in danger. He is a gifted pyrokinesis user all thanks to his signature fire breath and the many abilities he has involving fire. Aside from that, he has super strength, super speed, heaps of endurance, superb combat prowess, and is a strategist. Ergo, he is extremely dependable when he and his comrades are in a fight against all types of villains. Butch “The Baron of Berserk” Green Age: 27 Birthday: March 5, 1992 Position in the group: The…
