This piece of RRB/PPG fanart is dedicated to Begaiym aka Bosya aka BestieBosya who celebrated her birthday five days ago, Agustín aka Agu-Fungus who celebrated his birthday two days ago, and HetterRos and Susan aka TheStupid Fox who celebrated their birthdays yesterday. So, Bosya, Agustín, Hetter, and Susan, I hope you all had a very blessed, prosperous, and awesome birthday and I wish you a lot of love, joy, and happiness in your lives as artists and people. Wie wir auf deutsch sagen, ich hoffe ihr hattet einen gesegneten, wohlhabenden und tollen Geburtstag und ich wünsche euch allen viel Liebe, Freude und Glück in euren Leben als Künstler und Menschen. Como se dice en español, espero que todos ustedes hayáis tenido un cumpleaños bendito, próspero y maravilloso y os deseo mucho amor, felicidad y alegría en tus vidas como artistas y personas. Moreover, if you cannot tell from Buttercup’s, Blossom’s, and Bubbles’ brassieres and loincloths, I am sure you will all have a great idea who their mates are and who I ship these awesome ladies with. However, if you did not get the hint, this is also dedicated to all of the wonderful shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, Blossoomer, Boomubbles, and Butchubbles. With that said, sit back, relax, and soak in that Brickercup, Blossutch, Blossoomer, Butchubbles, and Boomubbles goodness. Feral Team Xtreme has struck again, as we are heading back to the pride lands. Here we have our six favorite superheroes, Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles, being the strong, courageous, and awesome pride of lions that they are. The lions in the forms of Brick, Butch, and Boomer are flexing their muscles and letting out their thunderous roars to give anyone a heaping dose of fighting spirit and courage. The lionesses in the forms of Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles are stretching their nimble legs while emitting such lethal snarls to warn any intruder not to vandalize their territory. As you can also see, they have come home from a hunting trip and decorated their den with bloodstained pawprints from the prey they have caught and devoured. Surely, their sharp claws, even sharper fangs of steel, and fierce glares are enough to make any invader, vandal or prey quiver at their presence. At least they know how to keep themselves clean by taking a swim at a nearby river. Brick, Butch, and Boomer being the Alpha Male lions they are, have the superhuman strength, stamina, and toughness to give any invader a run for his life whenever these three lion kings appear. Their muscles are enough to make Hercules, Basuli, and Tarzan really proud of how these lion men manage to stay strong all the way through. Their massive roars can definitely earn Mufasa’s and Simba’s respect and honor, Kopa’s and Kovu’s friendship and brotherhood, Scar’s willingness to fight them, and Nuka’s envy and fear. Their wrestling and grappling prowess are certainly up to par with Simba’s, Basuli’s, and Tarzan’s fighting skills to the point where they even end up stronger than those jungle warriors. Their lioness mates, Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles, are just as powerful as their husbands. Their super speed, stamina, combat prowess, beauty and symmetry in their moves, as well as their gorgeous countenances are enough to make them shine brilliantly as the queens of the pride they are. Their overall skills are enough to earn Sarabi’s, Sarafina’s, and Nala’s respect, love, and admiration, Vitani’s and Kiara’s friendship and willingness to be sisters to the point where they would test each others’ wrestling and grappling skills, Pocahontas’s admiration, kindness, and generosity, Queen La’s desire to do battle with them, and Zira’s unquenching lust to test their strength. Moreover, these lioness women are the backbone of what makes their pride thrive with endurance. Relationship-wise, even though Buttercup solely belongs to Brick and Brick alone, her sisters are polyamorous. Blossom’s main mate is Butch, while Bubbles’ is Boomer. However, the eldest lioness sister and the youngest lioness sister trade spouses on chosen days. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Blossom belongs to Butch and Bubbles belongs to Boomer. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Blossom belongs to Boomer and Bubbles belongs to Butch. Sundays are a complete foursome. Plus, if you are wondering where their cubs are, they are playing with Mitch’s and Bunny’s offspring in the neighboring territory, as all fourteen cubs are in really great hands, or in this case, paws. There you have it. The return of Townsville’s superheroes who have gone feral and behave like lions. So, Brick, Butch, Boomer, Buttercup, Blossom, Bubbles, do you have anything to say to our celebrants? (Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles leap from the den’s hiding spots with a roar almost similar to how Simba lept when confronting Scar for their final battle. They even approach in a similar fashion with fierce, menacing looks on their eyes and even emit a low growl like Simba.) Brick: We all have something to say. Butch: We heard there were some birthday celebrants. Boomer: Some who had their birthdays a few days ago and others who had theirs just yesterday. Blossom: So, to those of you who had their birthdays, sit tight. Buttercup: If you don’t want us to give us one good why we shouldn’t rip you apart, listen up. Bubbles: This is how we say we hope you had a great, magnificent birthday in the language of lions. (All six of them walk up to a rock formation akin to Pride Rock and look up at the sky, as the wind blows on their faces. They then start to unleash a most powerful roar that can rival any lion.) Brick: ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!!!!! Butch: ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRR!!!!!!!! Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles: ROOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!! (Brick, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles inhale, as this roar is going to be the grand finale. The roar to end all roars, as they roar to the heavens.) …
Brick/Buttercup
“I love you, Porgy Don’t let him take me Don’t let him handle me And drive me mad If you can keep me I wanna stay here With you forever And I’ll be glad Yes I loves you, Porgy Don’t let him take me Don’t let him handle me With his hot hands If you can keep me I wants to stay here With you forever I’ve got my man I love you, Porgy Don’t let him take me Don’t let him handle me And drive me mad If you can keep me I wanna stay here With you forever I’ve got my man Someday I know he’s coming to call me He’s going to handle me and hold me So, it’s going to be like dying, Porgy When he calls me But when he comes I know, I’ll have to go I love you, Porgy Don’t let him take me Honey, don’t let him handle me And drive me mad If you can keep me I wanna stay here With you forever I’ve got my man” – Bess from George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, Lyrics by Ira Gershwin This is my art trade for my dearest friend, a wonderful fellow DeviantArtist, and my soul sister and comrade-in-arms in being hardcore Brickercup shippers the one and only Paula aka BrickercupMasterX3, who in return requested her Powerpuff Girls OTP for life after I requested her to do my Inuyasha OTP for life, Inuyasha x Ayame. Moreover, I dedicate this piece of Brickercup fanart to Haskel Eleni Bishop aka Abrigedfoamy who celebrated her birthday yesterday. So, Haskel, I hope you had an amazing birthday, may your endeavors as an artist keep flourishing, and I wish you a lot of health, love, and joy in everything you do. Finally, this goes out to all of the Brickercup shippers everywhere. Sit back, relax, enjoy, and soak up that Brickercup goodness. There’s nothing more adorable and lovely than seeing a well-muscled, proud, and handsome gentleman like Brick having a really nice moment with his fiery, feisty wife Buttercup. Someone like Buttercup is just so lucky and happy to have her buff husband by her side, as Brick’s well-shaped biceps, well-chiseled physique, and roguish gentleman ways are the very facets which made her fall in love with him in the first place. Moreover, Brick is just so pleased to have BC by his side and a guy with muscles like his can certainly be more than capable of protecting his lady love like a fine pillar of fortitude. For the song choice, I thought that I Love You Porgy was a really nice choice to show the tenderness between Brick and Buttercup, especially when this is done as a solo number. Who better to accomplish this than the legendary, gorgeous, and goddess-like Madame Nina Simone, whose rendition manages to leave me in total awe. If you don’t believe me have a listen for yourselves and imagine Brick and Buttercup having such a tender moment with each other while being hypnotized by Nina Simone’s flawlessly soulful vocals. On a more irreverent note, I should’ve also titled this “I Love You, Brickster”, but I digress. Just listen to the song while looking at this piece of Brickercup fanart. Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for taking the time to enjoy this and I will see you in the next submission. Brick and Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.

She has also been rather supportive of my work and I am very thankful to have her in my life as an artist. So, I wish you all the best on your very special day, keep on being the loving and awesome soul that you are, and may you have abundant joy and blessings in your overall life. I would also love to dedicate this to all of my wonderful fellow Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles shippers. I hope you all enjoy this piece of Brickercup, Blossutch, Boomubbles fanart. Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles have struck again. And why not, they’re not only my favorite OTPs but also Townsville’s finest and most awesome power couple under one Team Xtreme roof. Besides there is nothing more fulfilling than having three dashing champions of courage, strength, and endurance be the great husbands to three sexy goddesses of toughness, wisdom, and beauty. It is a pleasure to see Brick being the strong, muscular, handsome rebel Team Dad that he is alongside his fierce, spitfire wife Buttercup, Butch being that tall, strapping muscle pillar that he is with his goddess and Team Mom of a wife Blossom, and Boomer being the lovable, sympathetic dumb muscle that he is alongside his darling sweet wife Bubbles. My love for Townsville’s finest super couples knows no bounds and I’m gonna stay an über staunch Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles shipper until the end of time. Well, Blossom200, I hope you enjoyed your birthday gift. And to all of you awesome shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles, I hope you enjoyed this piece of work as much as I enjoyed making it happen. Take care and see you all on the flipside.

This piece of RRB/PPG fanart is dedicated to a fellow DeviantArtist by the name of Zofia aka AmberPone, who celebrated her birthday two days ago. So, Zofia, I hope you had a magnificent, prosperous, awesome, and beautiful birthday and I wish you abundant joy in your artistic endeavors. I also wanna dedicate this picture to all of my dearest comrades-in-arms and fellow shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles. You all know exactly who you are and I hope you all enjoy this. Ah, Townsville’s very own Team Xtreme. The superhero team where superstrong, dashing, ripped, hunky gentlemen like Brick, Butch, and Boomer have the muscles to do any heavy-duty work as well as give any thug, felon or mugger a huge beating and where gorgeous, agile, graceful, powerful ladies like Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles have the moves to pinpoint their opponents’ weaknesses and strengths as well as attack bad guys with style and elegance. Seriously, having dynamics in which raw power and strength can mesh with agility and grace is a force to be reckoned with and all of these fine ladies and gentlemen of Team Xtreme have it in spades. Think about it. Brick, Butch, and Boomer have the muscles to grapple, wrestle, and/or knock out an opponent in either a camel clutch, a suplex, a bearhug, a backbreaker, a body slam or a neck-breaker, while Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles have the moves and are just as powerful to subdue their opponents with their uppercuts, jabs, hooks, roundhouse kicks, clinches, knee kicks, flying dragon kicks, and judo flips, thus making all six of these superhumans absolutely indestructible as one impeccable team. In Brickercup’s case, one can never go wrong with Brick applying his Olympic-level athleticism by having the strength of ten lions, the speed of a cheetah, and the reflexes of a leopard and Buttercup applying her own brand of combining super strength, agility, and marathoner-like endurance to make one amazing combo. When all is said and done, Brick and Buttercup definitely meet Olympian standards with their brand of unwavering endurance and unrelenting durability. Blossutch’s case is extremely fascinating, as it is a holy matrimony made in Heaven between animalistic, raw, wild power and lethal precision. With Butch’s muscles and raw strength, he can make warriors fall down to their knees and surrender what little fight they have left in their system, thus making him the brawn. Blossom’s cognizance and strategy over her foes’ strengths and weaknesses make her the brains of this action duo. Together, every combo they make will give foes one good reason never to cross their paths. Boomubbles’ case may be a little bit more subdued than the other two power couples’, but Boomer and Bubbles are just as powerful and durable as their siblings. When one thinks about it, Boomer is not just super strong but also really fast, indubitably nimble, and has such abundant endurance to make him all the more astounding as a complete athlete. Bubbles is just as strong, agile, speedy, and tough as her dearest husband in the whole wide world to the point where they complement each other in every, single thing they do. These two can make any marathoner, any athlete in a triathlon, any sprinter and even Looney Tunes’s very own Road Runner himself extremely green with envy, all thanks to these blue-clad lovers running beyond the speed of light. Moreover, any Olympian would love to have Boomer and Bubbles as his sources of inspiration or even “spirit animals”. And there you have it. When you have really strong men pair up with really tough women, then you have matches made in Mount Olympus, baby. Especially if those gentlemen are Brick, Butch, and Boomer and if those ladies are Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles. Thank you all for tuning into this piece of fanart and I will see you all on the flipside. Brick, Butch, Boomer, Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
This piece of Brickercup fanart is dedicated to a fellow DeviantArtist by the name of Sylina aka AmusedDoodler, who celebrated her birthday two days ago. So, Sylina, I hope you had a most blessed, prosperous, and fabulous birthday, may your life as an artist and as a person be full of abundance, and may you live with grace and beauty as an artist. I would also love to dedicate this to all of my soul sisters, soul brothers, and comrades-in-arms in terms of being hardcore Brickercup shippers. I hope you all take the time to enjoy this pic and the post in its entirety. They say that the apple does not fall too far from the tree. Well, if you ask Townsville’s very own Hot and Spicy Couple from Team Xtreme, Brick Green and his awesome wife Buttercup Utonium-Green, you will realize that their offspring is just as rambunctious as their parents when they were young. So, we have Brick’s and Buttercup’s tykes flying around being the cheeky, mischievous cherubs they are. Donning Buttercup’s old clothing is two-year-old Brooke and donning Brick’s old clothing are eldest son Blaze who is four years old and is giving the rock on sign and middle son Brendan who is three years old and is giving the peace sign along with the dragon’s kick. Let’s get to know how these tykes came to be. It was an early August of 2013 when Buttercup found out she was pregnant with Brick’s child. When Brick heard the news he was initially shocked, but then he decided that he and Buttercup were always meant to be together, as they ended up getting married with only one more year of college to go. When Buttercup was pregnant with her first son, she started to crave spicy foods like Tom Yum soup, Kung Pao chicken and/or shrimp, habanero peppers, ghost chili, and basically any food that nearly broke the Scoville scale. The pangs in her stomach, as well as the burning sensations she would constantly feel, gave her the drive to name her son Blaze, after finding out from the ultrasound that it was going to be a boy. Brick knew that he had a pyrokinesis heir in the making. Buttercup jokingly stated that she was probably to give birth to a dragon. This all came to a head on June 3, 2014, when Blaze Christopher Green entered the world. When Blaze emerged from his mother’s womb, it was discovered that he had heterochromia with the left eye being fire engine red and the right eye being lime green. In spite of this, it was said that he was a jolly bundle of joy and he was going to bring love and light to his parents’ lives. Moreover, when he was brought back to Team Xtreme Headquarters with his parents, a spark of flame flickered from his mouth when he was about to blow something. This surprised both Brick and Buttercup, considering that Brick did not realize he was a pyrokinesis user until Mr. Green came to his and his brothers’ lives as their father and Buttercup mostly used friction by vigorously rubbing her hands to produce fire before Brick tapped into her natural talent for pyrokinesis. Blaze also inherited his parents’ usual powers like laser eye beams, super strength, flight, impeccable endurance in combat, and unparalleled athleticism. In turn, these traits would end up being passed down to his younger siblings to the point where all of them mastered the Ballistic Barrage at such an incredibly young age, thus astonishing and astounding Brick and Buttercup. Blaze is very much the split image of his father in terms of inheriting his first hairstyle, not counting the heterochromia and his mother’s hair color, and bearing his impulsiveness, hot-blooded temper, street smarts, book smarts, cunning nature, strong fighting spirit, the tendency to lead with an iron fist, and the constant need to exude confidence everywhere he goes. He even bears his mother’s perseverance and free-spirited thinking, thus making him an independent yet stubborn little boy who does have a lot of growing up to do, but he is getting there. He even learned how to read before he reached the age of two, thus making his speech develop at such an impeccable rate. As Blaze grew, his fire powers matured to the point where he has a fire version of the eye beams burning anything that comes in close contact and can show that he can either manipulate fire at will or use friction to create said element. A year later on August 1, 2015, Buttercup then gave birth to another son by the name of Brent Timothy Green. It was said that he was a loud baby when he emerged, probably a lot louder than his older brother, Blaze. When Brent was still a year old, he was able to move pebbles, small stones, and building blocks just by concentrating and using his hands to move them around. Moreover, he even had a go at using pyrokinesis to ignite any pebble. Brick and Buttercup knew that aside from being a pyrokinesis user, Brent was growing to be a geomancer as well, thus combining the best of both of his parents’ unique powers and abilities. Even more shocking was the time when Brent came to his parents’ room asking for a bedtime story by going under their queen-size bed and lifting it much to their astonishment and eventual delight to see how far their son has gone with his Herculean strength. Much like his older brother, he even learned how to read, write, and speak before he reached the age of two, thus showing an impeccable development in his motor and speech skills. Personality-wise Brent is truly his mother’s son but he also bears some of his father’s traits. He is just as impulsive, prone to temper tantrums, anger-prone, and rebellious as his mother but just as cunning and large-and-in-charge as his father. Buttercup even gave Brent…
This piece of RRB/PPG fanart is dedicated to a fellow DeviantArtist, Samuel Aken’Ova aka tmntsam, who celebrated his birthday two days ago. So, Sam, I hope you had a magnificent celebration, please continue to be as awesome of an artist that you are and I wish you a lot of love, joy, prosperity, and happiness for the days and months to come. I would also love to dedicate this to all of my fellow hardcore shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles. I hope you all enjoy this piece of work. A guy like me can’t have enough of my most beloved OTPs of Townsville Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles. So, let’s not waste any time and find out what makes these three sets of superhuman couples so fascinating and awesome. And to help us get in the mood here’s our good friend The Narrator to tell us, dear viewers, what makes these power couples super. Narrator: Gladly. (clears throat) The City of Townsville! Home to the courageous, powerful, and daring six-person superhero team, Team Xtreme. Team Xtreme Headquarters! The resident of our superheroes. Oh look, the gentlemen Brick, Butch, and Boomer have just finished their round of Muay Thai sparring. Even their wives, Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles, who almost look like Tekken’s Christie Monteiro, have just finished their capoeira routine. Together these three couples band together to be The Superhuman OTPs of Townsville! We begin with the first one in the form of this kick-butt, fiery action duo Brick and Buttercup. Brick: That’s our names. Buttercup: Don’t wear it out. Brick and Buttercup aka Brickercup aka The Hot and Spicy Couple aka The Fire and Spice Couple Narrator: Kicking off this power OTP roster is the couple who can kick butt and take names, not take crap from anyone, can be a bit on the rebellious side and can send a shiver down one’s spine if not cautious. This hot and spicy couple is branded by fans as Brickercup. Donning red shorts with thick black stripes and Muay Thai wrappings as well as having the fiercest red eyes and being the hunky redheaded Alpha Male that he is is none other than Brick “The Bludgeoner” Green, the 26-year-old eldest son of Mr. Green and Mrs. Bellum-Green. Brick (raises his arms to greet the crowd in a proud manner and flexes his biceps): Yeah, that’s right! Brick the Bludgeoner is in the house! And so is my awesome wife, BC. Narrator: Speaking of BC, donning a gorgeous red top, pants containing a warm-colored fire, green smoke, and green firewood, green gauntlets, and lime-green armbands as well as being the lime-green eyed, raven-haired warrior girl that she is is Buttercup “The Toughest Fighter” Utonium-Green, the 25-year-old middle daughter of Professor Utonium and Mrs. Keane-Utonium. Buttercup: Brickster! Your toughest fighter is also in the house! (Brick and Buttercup kiss each other euphorically. After that, they face the camera with fierce grins on their faces.) Narrator: Just by knowing what one can expect from both Brick the Bludgeoner and Buttercup the Toughest Fighter, one can expect these two to give any opponent a run for his money when one dares to come face to face with these two. Their combat prowess, fiercely independent spirits, never-give-up, rough attitudes, and overall toughness make them a force to be reckoned with. Individually, they work just fine, but together any criminal or monster won’t have a prayer to say before the beating commences. (Brick and Buttercup beat up muggers who attempt to rob an old lady, a giant monster, and a corrupt politician.) Brick and Buttercup: And stay down, suckas! Narrator: What did I tell you? Attitude and toughness. Moreover, their powers truly do complement each other, what with Brick being an expert pyrokinesis user and Buttercup also being pyrokinesis user as well as being a geomancer. Man, talk about fire and earth becoming one. Brick: That’s right. And do you wanna know why you should never make us angry?!! Buttercup: You really wanna know why you shouldn’t piss us off?!!! (Brick’s hands ignite and fire spews from his mouth, as he lets out an earth-shattering scream.) Brick: It’s because I can roast you alive! So, you better be prepared for me to heat things up! (Buttercup then telekinetically lifts up a huge rock from the ground and it ignites it. She struggles at first but then she also lets out a powerful scream.) Buttercup: And I can crush you while seeing you burn! (Brick’s flames die down and Buttercup gently drops the rock to the ground.) Brick: You’d have to be really stupid to face us. Buttercup: Unless you’re really craving for a knuckle sandwich then we have it in spades. Narrator: Well, that was igniting, to say the least. So, anyway, when this couple is not completely engaged in combat, they are engaged in steamy intimacy. Seriously, the belligerent sexual tension is just so spicy but so invigorating, as they feed off of each others’ impulses and can also be tender towards each other when they’re not pummeling their enemies. (Brick and Buttercup are making out when the door creaks open.) Brick: Hey, bozo, move it or lose it. Buttercup: Before we knock you out cold. Narrator: Well, there you have it. Team Xtreme’s Hot and Spicy Couple. Let’s move on to the next pair, shall we? And the next one is our brawn-and-brain action duo in the form of Butch and Blossom. Butch: ‘Sup. I hope you’re ready to feel the wrath of the Baron of Berserk. (Butch flexes his muscles.) Blossom (chuckles): Oh, Butch. I think they are. But you need to save it for the criminals. Butch: Oh, sorry, Bloss. Butch and Blossom aka Blossutch aka The Beastly Brawn and The Brainy Beauty Couple aka The Watermelon Couple Narrator: Our…
This piece of Rowdyruff Boys and Powerpuff Girls, known in my headcanon as the superhero team Team Xtreme, is dedicated to a fellow DeviantArtist by the name of Rolando Cuevas aka ROCuevas who celebrated his birthday yesterday. So, Rolando, I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I wish you well in everything you do as an artist. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this piece of Powerpuff Girls fanart. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you all the members of Team Xtreme in different martial arts attire. From left to right, we have the following. Brick- Pankration Butch- Muay Thai Boomer- Kickboxing Blossom- Shaolin Kung Fu Buttercup- Kyokushin Karate Bubbles- Capoeira Moreover, as you can tell from the expressions in their eyes, the pairings are Brickercup (Brick x Buttercup), Blossutch (Butch x Blossom), and Boomubbles (Boomer x Bubbles). So, in turn, I dedicate this Team Xtreme martial arts pic to all of the shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles. In my headcanon, Team Xtreme as well as their closest allies and friends Mitch “The Persecutor” Mitchelson, Bunny “The Bouncing Mountain” Utonium-Mitchelson, Harry Pitt, Julie Bean-Pitt, Mike Believe, Robin Snyder-Believe among others practice different types of martial arts including karate, judo, jeet kune do, boxing, taekwondo, Muay Thai, kickboxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts, and jujutsu both Brazilian and Japanese. So when making this picture involving the main Team Xtreme members I had to consider which martial art could complement them in terms of personality, interest, and overall plausibility. For what I got, I definitely enjoyed getting to know the different martial arts and researching about each of them to make them gel these superheroes and to some extent their fighting styles. For Brick, I chose Pankration because this martial art is not only a precursor to mixed martial arts but also has its roots in Ancient Greek history. Since Brick is both street smart and book smart, he would have a great understanding of where Pankration came from as well as the many moves and techniques being used. Thus, he would be able to learn about the history of this Ancient Greek martial art. Moreover, Pankration is considered to be a deadly martial art where it involves combining wrestling and boxing. One can easily imagine Brick not only knowing all the moves by heart but also using it rather effectively in both sparrings and in real-life battles. So, for someone like Brick, strength, smarts, and instinct certainly make him for what he is as a fighter. Butch is an obvious choice for Muay Thai given how warlike, animalistic, and brutal he can be both in his personality and in his fighting style. He is the type of person who fights to live and his life is usually a constant battlefield, where physical and mental strength is an absolute must in order to win. The fact that Muay Thai fighters hit banana trees with their shins in order for them to be strengthened and be rock-hard is actually a phenomenal tidbit that sparked my interest. One can highly doubt that Townsville has any banana trees. So, the Townsville version would have Butch hitting oak trees or any strong tree or any strong material with his shins. Moreover, Butch seems to be a fighter who values close-contact fights, thus applying clinches, elbow strikes, and knee strikes to his opponents. Sure, wrestling could have been a choice for Butch, but I think Muay Thai fits him to a T. In Boomer’s case, I didn’t solely end up with boxing but also kickboxing, given how fast he is with his hands and feet. Boomer seems to be the type of fighter who combines strength and speed and does so in a way in which he can incapacitate his opponents rather effectively. One can easily imagine Boomer delivering different types of punches and kicks from hooks to jabs to uppercuts to roundhouse kicks to crane kicks. Moreover, I can easily imagine him to not just be a very strong fighter who uses muscle but also rapid speed thus making him a force to be reckoned with. Blossom and Shaolin Kung Fu really do go hand-in-hand. On the surface, this has something to do with Blossom’s experience with the Chinese language and even the Chinese culture. So someone who is immersed in Chinese culture as Blossom would also know the two types of Kung Fu namely Shaolin and Wing Chun. Shaolin Kung Fu is definitely up Blossom’s alley because of the monk-like self-discipline, diligence, and warrior’s mindset she bears to live up to this particular style of Kung Fu. Moreover, as a fan of the episode Stuck Up, Up and Away, the way Blossom managed to attack Princess Morbucks is not just elements used in Shaolin Kung Fu but also in Wing Chun Kung Fu, given how close-contact it is. At least, that’s what I presume it to be. Let’s also not forget that scientific studies show that a Shaolin monk’s skull and bones are a lot stronger than those of normal people due to the training they do. So, that principle would definitely apply to Blossom. I went for Kyokushin Karate for Buttercup, as she is someone who applies full-contact attacks on her opponents. Let us also not forget that Kyokushin Karate is very different from Traditional Karate, given that Kyokushin is full-contact but avoids the punching of the face something that Buttercup does to her opponents. Yes, by saying this, Buttercup should have been more fit for MMA, but my headcanon side stated that everyone from Team Xtreme as well as Mitch, Bunny, Harry, and many other of their allies and friends practice MMA. So, with Buttercup, Kyokushin Karate actually ended up being a nice fit for her. Let’s also not forget her experience with the old monk from Makes Zen to Me. I’m fully aware that the old monk practices Shaolin Kung Fu and not Kyokushin Karate, but the variety of attacks Buttercup has as…
This Powerpuff super couples fanart is dedicated to a fine fellow DeviantArtist who is also a very great friend and supporter and always leaves wonderful comments on my works, the one and the only Dolo aka PowerpuffObsessed. So, Dolo, I wish you a most amazing, thrilling, prosperous, and blessed birthday and I also wish you abundant blessings and joy in your work as an artist. In turn, I dedicate this piece of Powerpuff couples fanart to all of the wonderful shippers of Brickercup, Blossutch, Bunnitch, and Boomubbles. Enjoy. Quick question. What happens when you combine four studly, powerful, badass muscle dude brothers like Brick, Butch, Mitch, and Boomer with four gorgeous, tough, elegant, and sassy sisters like Buttercup, Blossom, Bunny, and Bubbles? Why you get four grand power couples who exude strength, confidence, fierceness, and bravery in everything they do as superheroes. Yes, Mitch may not be Brick’s, Butch’s, and Boomer’s brother, but I would love to think of him as their brother from another mother and their all-time closest friend and ally. So, we have Brick, Butch, Mitch, and Boomer doing the most muscular pose and being the strong muscle hunks that they are and their darling wives Buttercup, Blossom, Bunny, and Bubbles being rather calculating and fierce showing why neither they nor their husbands should be messed with. Isn’t that right? Buttercup, Blossom, Bunny, and Bubbles: Absolutely. Buttercup: Besides, my Brickster here, is in great command of his buff, studly body like a true warrior king. That’s why I’m more than happy to have this guy as my hubby. Brick: Aw…BC, you are the greatest wife a man like me could ever have. Buttercup: Thanks, Brick. Brick: My pleasure, babe. Blossom: Well, my dearest Butch, is raw fortitude and animal power incarnate. He truly lives up to the mantra “beast mode engaged”. Butch: Bloss, you are a goddess. (Blossom kisses Butch on the cheek and he blushes euphorically.) Bunny: My darling Mitch may be a normie, but he has enough muscle to beat up any baddie out there. Mitch: My rock-hard muscles and I wanna thank you so much for that compliment, Bunny Rabbit. Bunny: You’re welcome, Mitchie. Bubbles: Last but not least is my big, strong, handsome, and sweet Boomie. I don’t just love seeing his muscles but I love touching them too. I can tell he, Brick, Butch, and Mitch work so hard to keep such godly physiques. Boomer: Aw shucks, Bubs. You always bring sunshine every day. There you have it. The Utonium sisters are totally lucky to have big, strong, powerful, muscular husbands like Brick, Butch, Mitch, and Boomer. So, any birthday greetings for our dear friend, PowerpuffObsessed? Brick: Since we’re the gentlemen here, we’ll let our wives go first. Butch: After all, ladies first is always our mantra. Ain’t that right, guys? Mitch and Boomer: Yeah. Buttercup: Well, all right. Yo, Dolo, we hope you have an amazing birthday today. Blossom: The dedication you have to your work is astounding. Bunny: We hope to see you create some more amazing things. Bubbles: And keep up the great work. Blossom: Now, girls, let’s let our husbands take the floor. They have something special. Brick: Thanks, partner. Blossom: Anytime, partner. Now show her what you got. (Brick, Butch, Mitch, and Boomer fall in line while Buttercup, Blossom, Bunny, and Bubbles depart.) Brick: This is how we buff guys say happy birthday in beast mode. (Brick hunches to do the crab-style version of the most muscular pose.) Brick: Nnnnnnnnnnngggggggghhhhrrrrrrrrr…..!!!!! (Butch does the same pose as Brick.) Butch: Nnnnnnnnngggggghrrrroooooaaaar!!!!!!!!!! (As does Mitch.) Mitch: Nnnnngggggghhhrrrr….!!!!! (As does Boomer.) Boomer: Hnnnnnngggggggghhhh….!!!! (All four of them group together in this pose with wide grins on their faces and furrowed eyebrows.) Brick, Butch, Mitch, and Boomer: Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! (Brick then shoves Butch, Mitch, and Boomer, as he stands back up erect.) Brick: Don’t mess with the boss. (Brick beats his fist to his chest, as Butch, Mitch, and Boomer tackle and tickle him and they laugh.) Brick: Okay, dudes. I tap out. Butch: You mean it, brah? Brick: Yeah! Boomer: Okay, bro. (Butch, Mitch, and Boomer let Brick go.) Brick: Well, PowerpuffObsessed, we hope you enjoyed your birthday gift. Butch: Let’s just say that our muscles wanna thank you for being here. Mitch: Keep on rockin’, baby. Boomer: We hope to see you again real soon. Brick, Butch, Mitch, and Boomer: Take care and stay fit. Wow! Thanks for that awesome piece of entertainment. So, PowerpuffObsessed as well as all of my beloved comrades in shipping Brickercup, Blossutch, Bunnitch, and Boomubbles, I hope you all enjoyed this post and this picture and see you all on the flipside. Brick, Butch, Mitch, Boomer, Buttercup, Blossom, Bunny, and Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
This submission as part of BrickercupMasterX3’s Brickubbles month is dedicated to a few people I have sadly lost in my life growing up: my maternal grandma, Lydia Aznar-Alfonso, who passed away eight years ago from intestinal cancer, my chemistry teacher in third-year high school, Mr. Nicolas Apelinga, who passed away about three weeks ago, and one of my paternal uncles, Francis Duran, who as stated by my mom passed away today. I would also love to dedicate this piece of RRB/PPG fan art to a fellow filmmaker who I had the pleasure of working with, Steffen Kaminski whose father passed away. May you all rest in peace, you will all be in my prayers and may the Heavenly Father keep you all in His realm. This is going to be the final Brickubbles Flashback, chronicling Brick’s and Bubbles’ major highlight in college. Technically, this is my second-to-the-last Brickubbles submission, as I have one more coming up. Furthermore, this flashback takes place in June 2014, where Brick, Butch, and Boomer were twenty-two years old, Blossom and Buttercup were twenty-one years old, and Bubbles was twenty years old. This was also the month where Buttercup gave birth to Blaze, hers and Brick’s first son, thus making Brick and Buttercup married while entering their fourth year of college. Moreover, since Boomer and Bubbles were the first to marry while still in college, they had their first three children, twins Bailey and Barley who were two years old and Brittany who was a year old. Butch and Blossom were engaged, as she stated to him that she would rather marry when they graduate college to which he gladly agreed. Enjoy this final flashback to the past. Brickubbles is kept as a loving platonic relationship, while the real couples in this flashback are Brickercup, Blossutch, and Boomubbles. There’s also a bit of Bunnitch here. Birth. Childhood. Adolescence. Adulthood. Middle Age. Old Age. Death. This is the life cycle of an average human being and is basically what we all go through in life. Everything influences us to be the people that we are from our environment to our family to our friends to our teachers to society as a whole. There will be good days and there will be bad days, depending on what one makes of it. Speaking of which, picture yourself as this young will-to-be parent. The thought of it is rather intimidating considering the responsibilities of being one, but with enough moral support and unconditional love one can definitely raise one’s child to be the best he or she can be. Submitted for the approval of The Brickubbles Flashbacks, I call this story Life’s and Love’s Gift. Brick, Bubbles, please take the floor. Brick and Bubbles: Thanks, Antoni. Bubbles: And our many condolences to those wonderful people you mentioned. Brick: Yeah, man, I hope you’ll be okay. Me: I will. Let’s dedicate this show to them. (Team Xtreme Headquarters. Blaze, Brent, and Brooke enter racing in the living room with Buttercup. Bailey and Barley are playing a card game akin to Yu-Gi-Oh. And Boomer enters playfully chasing Brittany and Birdie. They land on the huge couch where Brick and Bubbles were sitting.) Brick: Well, hello darling, and my little scamps. (Brick gives Buttercup a kiss and ruffles Blaze’s, Brent’s and Brooke’s hair.) Bailey: Ha! I got Flaminius. He’s gonna roast you alive. There’s no way you can beat me. Barley: Well, bro. I got Dasher! He’s gonna shock you down. (Bailey and Barley realize the attack level both cards have.) Bailey and Barley: Aww…dangit. Another tie. (Boomer approaches Bailey and Barley.) Boomer: I see you enjoyed your game. Now, how about we hop on the couch with your sisters, cousins, mom, your uncle, and auntie? Bailey and Barley: Okay, dad! (Bailey and Barley sit beside Boomer, as he has Birdie on his lap. Bubbles has Brittany sitting beside her. Buttercup has Brooke on her lap and Brick has Brent on his lap with Blaze sitting beside him.) Brent: Dad, I wanna be like you, mom, Uncle Boomer, and Auntie Bubbles when I grow up! Brittany: Yeah, we get to do all sorts of adventures. Blaze: Fight bad guys. Brooke: Fly around the city! Barley: Help out people in need. Bailey: Stop fires from happening! Birdie: And do all that stuff before we go to bed! (Brick, Boomer, Buttercup, and Bubbles chuckle.) Brick: We know you guys will be great heroes. Boomer: There will be a lot of hard work to be done. Buttercup: But if you’re tough and brave enough, we’re all sure you can make it. Bailey: Speaking of making it, when are Uncle Butch, Auntie Blossom, Brendan, Blake, and Belle coming back from grocery shopping? Bubbles: Well, they should be back in an hour. It looks like they’re getting as much good food as they can. Boomer: Sometimes I still can’t believe how much all of you kids have grown. Bailey, Barley, you’re growing taller and stronger every time I see you. And Brittany, you’re getting a lot smarter than I thought. Bubbles: And Birdie, let’s not forget about how fast you continue to run. Bailey, Barley, Brittany, and Birdie: Aw, mom, dad, thanks. Buttercup: Speaking of growing, Brooke your speech is getting clearer every time. That’s great. Brick: And Blaze, your mom has seen how tougher you continue to grow. Brent, you’re even fast enough to give your Uncle Boomer and Auntie Bubbles a good race. Blaze: Thanks, Dad, we’re really happy to have you as our parents. Brick: Bubs, I can’t even believe how fast we became parents. Even during college. Bubbles: Yeah, I can’t believe it too. It was clear that Boomie and I were meant for each other. So, getting married while being in college was crazy, but…
This Brickubbles Month submission, as spearheaded by my dear friend BrickercupMasterX3, is dedicated to a fellow DeviantArtist by the name of StrayF0rk whose birthday was celebrated yesterday. So, StrayF0rk, I hope you had a pleasant birthday and I wish you a lot of amazing things as a fellow artist. This second part of The Brickubbles High School Flashback was certainly long in the making. It took a lot of conceptualizing and figuratively banging my head how Brick’s and Bubbles’ journey in adolescence was going to end. So, here’s the final part of their time in High School. The pairings involved here are Brick x Bubbles (Brickubbles), Boomer x Bubbles (Boomubbles), Brick x Buttercup (Brickercup), Butch x Blossom (Blossutch), and Mitch x Bunny (Bunnitch). This flashback still takes place in the summer of 2009, though spanning from July to August. There comes a time where relationships are either repaired or newly beginning. A repaired relationship is great, especially when you know that both life partners can start fresh and keep going with their lives together. A new relationship after experiencing the pangs of a breakup is just as great, as the past is left behind and what needs to be considered is the future. How does everything wrap up well in such a nice package? Submitted for the approval of The Brickubbles Flashbacks, I call this story Rekindling and Renewal. Brick, Bubbles, you have the floor. Brick and Bubbles: Thanks, Antoni. Brick: Hey, Bubs, remember that rabbit girl stuffed doll I gave to you when we were at the amusement park down at the pier? Bubbles: Yeah, I gave it to Brittany as a hand-me-down. She and Birdie love to share it too. Plus, that doll kind of reminded me of the imaginary friend Blossom, Buttercup, and I had to create to fight off Patches. Brick: Who’s Patches? Bubbles: Oh, he was Mike’s ex-imaginary friend. Poor Mike got blamed for all of the mishaps when it was actually Patches who caused mayhem. It was up to me and my sisters to think up our own imaginary friend to combat him. Brick: Wow! How are Mike and Robin these days? Bubbles: They’re doing really well. Mike’s a child psychologist and Robin’s an English Literature teacher working on their PhDs. Boomie and I paid them a visit and we even spent some time with their three children, Sarah, Cayden, and Michelle. They are such darlings. Brick: Glad to hear. Like I said, I cannot even believe we dated each other. How did Boomer feel about it? Bubbles: He put that all behind him Brick: That’s good. Because the last thing I could’ve done was hurt him so bad. Bubbles: Yeah. (Flashback to July 2009 begins. The then seventeen-year-old Brick and the then fifteen-year-old Bubbles are at the amusement park down at the pier.) Brick: Here we are, Bubs. We got the whole day to ourselves. Bubbles: That’s for sure, Brick. I don’t even know what ride we should go on first. And that makes me even more excited! Brick: Well what are we waiting for let’s go! (Montage of Brick and Bubbles in the amusement park rides, akin to Beastboy’s and Terra’s amusement park date from the original Teen Titans, begins. Brick and Bubbles are first seen on a rollercoaster called The Sharpshooter. Brick is clearly enjoying the thrill of the ride while Bubbles is rather terrified, to say the least. After that, they are riding on bumper cars laughing. Following that is photo taking time at the photo booth where Brick and Bubbles are making silly faces and choose the best photos including the one that is shown. Brick participates in a game where throws a baseball at five metal bottles and all three tries have ended up being successful to the point where he gets a rabbit girl stuffed doll, which looks like the Powerpuff Girls’ imaginary friend from the episode Imaginary Fiend. Bubbles hugs Brick tightly and he blushes. They walk arm in arm to the Ferris wheel, where they watch the sunset together.) Bubbles: It was such a great day, wasn’t it Brick? Brick: Sure was, Bubs. Who knew it’s been a week since we went out as you know… Bubbles: Boyfriend and girlfriend? Brick (somberly): Yeah. Bubbles: Is everything okay? Brick: Yeah, everything’s cool. I think I’m kinda hungry after all the rides we went to. Bubbles: Me too. Brick: I know an awesome burger joint where we can have dinner. They don’t just serve beef burgers, but also chicken, turkey, and even fish burgers. What do you say to that? Bubbles: I think I would love that. (Cut to the boardwalk, specifically at the restaurant Fish McFood, the same place where Brick, Butch, and Boomer were causing a ruckus and getting their burgers from the episode Boy Toys. The place as of 2009 looked a lot more stylized in comparison to the 1998 design, especially evidenced in the restaurant logo, as it has flashing lights. Inside the restaurant, Brick is munching down on a quarter pounder with cheddar cheese, applewood-smoked bacon, onions, lettuce, tomato, sriracha and mayo sauce, and gherkins, while Bubbles is munching down on a salmon burger with avocado, onions, Romaine lettuce, and aioli. They even share a bowl of cajun fries, which they also managed to munch down.) Brick: This place brings back a lot of memories. I can’t believe my brothers and I were such monstrous little crapheads back then wrecking the place. Bubbles: I know, but that was then. You guys just didn’t have a great role model until Miss Bellum came. And look at you. You’re the most popular, handsome, well-rounded guy in Townsville High, Butch is the superathlete alongside Buttercup, and, well, Boomer, he’s the most talented and most loved guy in school. Brick: Wow. Thanks, Bubs, you really…
