“Wenn du es wüßtest, Was träumen heißt von brennenden Küssen, Von wandern und ruhen mit der Geliebten, Aug in Auge, Und kosend und plaudernd, Wenn du es wüßtest, Du neigtest dein Herz! Wenn du es wüßtest, Was bangen heißt in einsamen Nächten, Umschauert vom Sturm, da niemand tröstet Milden Mundes die kampfmüde Seele, Wenn du es wüßtest, Du kämest[6] zu mir. Wenn du es wüßtest, Was leben heißt, umhaucht von der Gottheit weltschaffendem Atem, Zu schweben empor, lichtgetragen, Zu seligen Höhn, Wenn du es wüßtest, wenn du es wüßtest, Du lebtest mit mir.” – Cäcilie Opus 27 Number 2 composed by Richard Strauss (1864-1949), Lyrics and Poem by Heinrich Hart (1855-1906), Composed on September 9, 1894. English Translation: “If you but knew, sweet, what ‘tis to dream of fond, burning kisses, of wand’ring and resting with the beloved one; gazing fondly caressing and chatting, could I but tell you, your heart would assent. If you but knew, sweet, the anguish of waking thro’ nights long and lonely and rocked by the storm when no-one is near to soothe and comfort the strife-weary spirit. Could I but tell you, you’d come, sweet, to me. If you but knew, sweet, what living is, in the creative breath of God, Lord, and Maker to hover, upborne on dove-like pinions to regions of light, if you but knew it, could I but tell you, you’d dwell, sweet, with me.” This Prinack submission, as part of BrickercupMasterX3’s Prinack month, is dedicated to Bluebear aka ITBluebeadTI who celebrated her birthday yesterday. So, Bluebear, you had an amazing and blessed birthday and I wish you abundance and prosperity in your life as an artist. Wie wir auf deutsch sagen, ich hoffe, dass du einen tollen und gesegneten Geburtstag hattest, und ich wünsche dir Vielfalt und Wohlstand in deinem Leben als Künstlerin. I also want to dedicate this to all of the wonderful Prinack shippers out there. So, I hope you all enjoy. Here we have Jack and Princess having a tender, sweet, and blissful moment with each other. As you can tell, there are also some German words placed in this drawing which goes hand in hand with the chosen Richard Strauss Lied I have for them. On Jack’s side, these two words are translated as My Princess and My Mistress. On Princess’s side, the words are translated as My Lord, My Comfort, and My Beloved. When listening to different interpretations of this sweeping Richard Strauss Lied, I have to say that five stood out to me the most Diana Damrau, Jessye Norman, Christa Ludwig, Fritz Wunderlich, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. So, I hope you also enjoy listening to these selections, as you imagine Jack and Princess having their moment of romance, sweetness, and love for each other. Diana Damrau Jessye Norman Christa Ludwig Fritz Wunderlich Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau I would also love to know which of these five singers do you enjoy the most when it comes to Richard Strauss’s Cäcilie. It would be a great pleasure to hear which singer catches your fancy. So until then, as we say in German, bis bald und alles Liebe.

“Cet air qui m’obsède jour et nuit Cet air n’est pas né d’aujourd’hui Il vient d’aussi loin que je viens Traîné par cent mille musiciens Un jour cet air me rendra folle Cent fois j’ai voulu dire pourquoi Mais il m’a coupé la parole Il parle toujours avant moi Et sa voix couvre ma voix Padam, padam, padam Il arrive en courant derrière moi Padam, padam, padam Il me fait le coup du souviens-toi Padam, padam, padam C’est un air qui me montre du doigt Et je traîne après moi comme une drôle d’erreur Cet air qui sait tout par cœur Il dit: “Rappelle-toi tes amours Rappelle-toi puisque c’est ton tour ‘Y a pas d’raison pour qu’tu n’pleures pas Avec tes souvenirs sur les bras” Et moi je revois ceux qui restent Mes vingt ans font battre tambour Je vois s’entrebattre des gestes Toute la comédie des amours Sur cet air qui va toujours Padam, padam, padam Des “je t’aime” de quatorze-juillet Padam, padam, padam Des “toujours” qu’on achète au rabais Padam, padam, padam Des “veux-tu” en voilà par paquets Et tout ça pour tomber juste au coin d’la rue Sur l’air qui m’a reconnue Écoutez le chahut qu’il me fait Comme si tout mon passé défilait Faut garder du chagrin pour après J’en ai tout un solfège sur cet air qui bat Qui bat comme un cœur de bois” -Édith Piaf, composed by Norbert Glanzberg, lyrics by Henri Contet, and released in 1951 English Translation: “This tune that haunts me day and night This tune isn’t born of today It comes from as far back as I do Dragged by a hundred thousand musicians One day this tune will drive me mad A hundred times I’ve wanted to say why But it interrupted me It doesn’t let me speak And its voice overwhelms mine Padam… Padam… Padam… It follows, running behind me Padam… Padam… Padam… It tricks me into remembering you Padam… Padam… Padam… It’s a tune, which like an accusing finger Haunts me like a weird mistake This tune that knows all by heart It says: “Remember your loves Remember since it’s your turn There’s no reason for you not to cry With your memories held close… “ And me, I look back at those that remain My twenty years of tapping that beat I see between the beats The whole comedy of those loves Accompanied by this tune that always goes… Padam… Padam… Padam… An “I love you’s” on the fourteenth of July Padam… Padam… Padam… The “forevers” bought at a discount Padam… Padam… Padam… The “Do you want to’s” here by the bundle And all this to bump into the tune That remembers me at the street corner Listen to the uproar that it causes in me As if all my past were on parade One must save some sorrow for later I have a solfege for this tune that beats… Beats like my wooden heart” This piece of Prinack fanart, as part of my beloved friend’s BrickercupMasterX3’s Prinack month, is dedicated to Ciara aka LadyMarigold who celebrated her birthday four days ago, Jim Kilpatrick aka Koku-chan who celebrated his birthday yesterday, and SheilaMBrinson and Kay aka transformers3roxCB who are celebrating their birthdays today. So, Ciara, Jim, Sheila, Kay, I wish you a lot of abundance, love, joy, and happiness in everything you do as artists. Comme se dit en francais, je souhaite a vous beaucoup d’abondance, d’amour, de joie et de bonheur dans tout vous faites comme artistes. Jack and Princess have hit the dance floor once again. This time they are in a ballroom waltzing with such precision to the amazing Édith Piaf’s chanson Padam, Padam, which is about a young woman who has a music-related memory about a lover she had when she was twenty years old. Obviously, these two are rather entranced with the music. So, for your listening pleasure, here is La Grande Madame Édith Piaf singing the passionate and electrifying Padam, Padam. I hope you all enjoyed this and as we say in French, vous prenez plaisir. Merci beaucoup et a tout a l’heure. Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown belongs to Christy Hui and Kids’ WB.

“Sometime’s I’m right Sometime’s I’m wrong But he doesn’t care He’ll String along He loves me so That funny honey of mine Sometime’s I’m down Sometime’s I’m up But he follows ’round Like some droopy-eyed pup He loves me so That sunny honey of mine He ain’t no sheik That’s no great physique Lord knows, he ain’t got the smarts Oh, but look at that soul I tell you, the whole Is a whole lot greater than The sum of his parts And if you knew him like me I know you’d agree What if the world Slandered my name? Why he’d be right there Taking the blame He loves me so And it all suits me fine That funny, sunny, honey Hubby of mine He loves me so That funny honey of mine” – Roxie Hart from Chicago, Composed by John Kander, Lyrics by Fred Ebb, Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, First Performance on June 3, 1975, at New York’s 46th Street Theater This piece of Prinack fanart, as part of BrickercupMasterX3’s Prinack month, is dedicated to Eka Ju Wong aka LollyKittyPaws, kou aka kouriiko, Jon aka fanfics4ever, my very good Manic Expression comrade t-kun aka AwkardOddOne, Sam Flemming aka SouthJerseySam, and Nina aka Wickfield who celebrated their birthdays from a few days ago to yesterday. So, I hope you wonderful, splendid, phenomenal, and fantastic artists had a grand birthday. Keep on being as brilliant, innovative, and down-to-earth as you all are. I bless you all and more power to you and to everything you do. I would also love to dedicate this to all of the fine Prinack shippers out there. With that said, sit back, relax, enjoy, and soak in that Prinack goodness. Here, we have our anti-villainous/anti-heroic couple Jack Spicer and his darling wife Princess Morbucks-Spicer having a serene, sweet, and sentimental moment with each other. It also helps that the song choice, “Funny Honey” from the Broadway musical Chicago, is a wonderful fit for someone like Princess to dedicate to her significant other Jack. And who better than to perform this ballad than the fine Renée Zellweger, the Roxie Hart I grew up with ever since I was between my tween and teen years and somehow ended up becoming a hardcore Chicago fan when I was all but fourteen years old. So, let’s dig into this song. Maybe you can even imagine Princess singing this to Jack in such a sexy, sensual manner akin to what Madame Zellweger accomplished. I hope you all enjoyed this and I will see you in the next submission. Jack Spicer from Xiaolin Showdown belongs to Christy Hui and Kids’ WB.

So, MJ, Andrew, Alyssa, and Zia, I wish you a lot of abundance, love, beauty, and strength in everything you have as artists and people. May you all stay forever blessed. Furthermore, I dedicate this piece of Butchubbles fanart to the great and wonderful Aretha Franklin who unfortunately passed away a few days ago and this is dedicated to her memory, hence the song choice. So, Madame Franklin, may you rest in peace and may the Lord Almighty welcome you to His Kingdom. There’s nothing more charming nor more adorable than having Butch be the rough yet lovable muscle gent to his darling lady love Bubbles. May you all bask in the Butchubbles cuteness as you listen to this song by the legendary Queen of Soul herself, Madame Aretha Franklin. I hope you all enjoyed this and see you in the next submission. Take care and lots of love. Butch and Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
This piece of Butchubbles fanart, which is part of an art trade I have been doing with my dearest friend Kaitlyn aka KatyGorl, is dedicated to some fellow DeviantArtists who celebrated their birthdays some days ago. Those are Ben Wagner aka BeeWinter55, Giovanni aka Rasmussen891, AdmiralPit, x-Memoire-x, and Jenna Johnson aka resotii. I hope you guys had amazing birthdays, I wish you all the best and all of my love in everything you have accomplished so far as artists and stay golden in all that you are. Wie wir auf deutsch sagen, ich wünsche euch allen alle das Beste und alle meine Liebe in alles, dass ihr als Künstler und Menschen geschafft habt, und bleib so wunderbar und hervorragend wie ihr seid. Come se dice in italiano, vi auguro ogni bene e tutto il mio amore nelle vostre vite come artisti e persone e stai tutto bene come voi siete. I will say this and I will say this again. In terms of the Bubbles-related pairings, my undying love for Butch x Bubbles aka Butchubbles has been spreading like the wildest of wildfires to the point where I dub this as my OTP on par with Boomubbles. Moreover, we have quite the lovely family they have made with twenty-six-year-old Butch being the rough and tumble, ruggedly sexy, and really muscular dad that he is, seven-year-old Brea being the adorable, cute toughie that she is, and twenty-four-year-old Bubbles being the jolly, euphoric mom that she is. So, let’s take a gander at how Brea, KatyGorl’s Butchubbles daughter, came to be. Throughout all of his life growing up, Butch not only fancied Bubbles but he had a huge crush on her. He loved how utterly forgiving, emphatic, creative, jolly, and enthusiastic she was not only as a superheroine but also as a person. However, there were some obstacles that got in the way of him trying to confess his feelings for the sky-blue clad Powerpuff Girl. First, there was her obvious admiration for Boomer considering how well those two ended up clicking to the point where they had a very long-lasting relationship. Secondly, there was Bubbles’ attachment to Brick. Though not in the most romantic sense, but more of Brick being the impulsive, smart, tough big brother to Bubbles’ ingenue with an edge little sister, in which their long-lasting friendship almost put them in a relationship with each other. Thankfully, it lasted a week before Brick ended up with Buttercup and Bubbles returned to Boomer. Thirdly, was his unsuccessful relationship with Buttercup until Grade 10, where they decided to just be friends during the Summer of 2009. Fourth, was the fact that Blossom was his girlfriend who later ended up as his wife, so breaking up with her would have been uncalled for, as he loved her company and she enjoyed being with a roguish, wild gentleman like Butch. On Bubbles’ side of the story, even though she had a wonderfully healthy relationship with Boomer and a spectacularly platonic big brother, little sister relationship with Brick, she too had a crush on Butch. It could be his unrelenting athleticism. It could be his unparalleled use of his immense strength both in combat and in daily activities, much to the astonishment of certain civilians. Moreover, it could be Butch’s undying loyalty and protection not only towards his favorite brother Brick, his fraternal frenemy Boomer, his greater equal Blossom, his teammate-in-arms Buttercup but also towards Bubbles considering the rescue missions they all have been through together. Everything came to a head when Boomer and Blossom told Butch and Bubbles how they truly felt about giving other life partners a chance, to which the latter pair completely got the message. Much like how Boomer consummated his feelings his feelings for Blossom, Butch also consummated his feelings for Bubbles, but at a price. A week after Blossom’s discovery of her pregnancy, Bubbles also found out she was pregnant, in spite of the fact that she was all but seventeen years old and Butch was nineteen years old. Given the benefit of the doubt, their respective parents Mr. Green, Mrs. Bellum-Green, Professor Utonium, and Mrs. Keane-Utonium were confident that their superpowered offspring will be responsible enough to take on the parental roles. If they can face monsters and other villains, they can surely face parenthood too. During Bubbles’ pregnancy, her cravings were at an all-time high. She craved for salmon, tuna, sardines, chili sin and con carne, tacos, grapefruit juice, spinach, and many other foods rich in iron, protein, and antioxidants. Moreover, every time the baby was kicking, it would be at intermittent rates. There were some days where the kicks were gentle as feathers and other days where the kicks were harsh and punishing complete with twitching. Butch knew that he was going to have a child who was as sweet and gentle as Bubbles but fierce and rough as him, especially when they found out in the ultrasound that it was to be a girl. The day of delivery came on August 10, 2011, when Bubbles gave birth to Brea Susannah Green, who was said to have been a hyperactive yet joyful baby. Because Butch and Bubbles were going to college, Brea, much like her cousin Bloom, was raised by Professor Utonium and Mrs. Keane-Utonium with Mr. Green and Mrs. Bellum-Green helping out. Every weekend and after school, Butch and Bubbles would always pay Brea a visit and be the parents that they ought to be. As the years passed, Brea grew into an enthusiastic, energetic, tough and rough girl with a soft, adorable, and sweet side. Even when Bubbles ended up going back to Boomer and Butch ended up going to Blossom, she was still happy and proud to call Butch her dad and Bubbles her mom. Plus, she loved her half-siblings on Boomer’s side Bailey, Barley, Brittany, and Birdie and on Blossom’s side Brendan, Blake, and Belle as her own. Aside…
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.) …
“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.

This Blossoomer-related art trade I have done with my really good friend and fellow DeviantArtist, Kaitlyn aka KatyGorl, is dedicated to Ton aka swissnaturelover, Nathan Forester aka monstermaster13, and Jim aka canineart18 who celebrated their birthdays six days ago and Shinto aka ShintoIceCream who celebrated his birthday two days ago. So, Ton, Nathan, Jim, Shinto, I hope you gentlemen had a most blessed, awesome, grand, and uplifting birthday. Wie wir auf deutsch sagen, ich hoffe, dass ihr einen schönen, herrlichen, ausgezeichneten und tollen Geburtstag hattet. Comme on le dit en francais, j’espère vous avez une bonne, belle, excellente et merveilleuse anniversaire. I would also love to dedicate this to all of the awesome Blossoomer shippers out there. So, ladies and gentlemen, sit back, relax, and enjoy. As you all can see, we have a fine and happy Blossoomer family with twenty-six-year-old Boomer being the strong, buff, handsome, lovable dad that he is, seven-year-old Bloom being the jolly leader girl like her mother Blossom, and twenty-five-year-old Blossom being the nurturing, eloquent, courageous, and gorgeous mother that she is. With this recent art trade I have done with my dear friend Kaitlyn aka KatyGorl, my feelings for Blossoomer and for Butchubbles have grown from being cute, innocent pairings bordering on OTPs to fully-fledged OTPs totally standing on par with Blossutch and Boomubbles to the point where I ship all four of them as my OTPs aside from Brickercup. Yeah, I said it. My feelings for Blossoomer are just as strong as those I have for Blossutch and the same thing can be said about Butchubbles and Boomubbles. So, let’s see how Bloom, KatyGorl’s Blossoomer daughter, came to be. There was no doubt that Brick and Buttercup sealed the deal as being a strong item, which is the same thing that happened between Butch and Blossom as well as Boomer and Bubbles. However, there were certain things that were eating at the four of them, especially both Boomer and Blossom. For the longest time, Boomer had a huge crush on Blossom, even though he truly admired Bubbles body and soul. This was mostly because Blossom was extremely helpful in terms of his academics and she was the one who constantly pushed him to excel in everything he accomplished both as an integral member of a superhero team and in his academics to the point where he graduated high school with honors. He admired Blossom not just because of her beauty, but also her courage, strength as an independent young woman, her savviness, her grace, and how she will not take crap from anyone. However, Boomer could not pluck up the courage to tell her due to the fact that Blossom dated Brick, even though their relationship ended up going up in smoke before the eleventh grade, Butch was officially Blossom’s greater equal, and Boomer still had his long-lasting relationship with Bubbles. Blossom, on the other hand, admired Boomer from afar as long as she can remember. Yes, she was Boomer’s tutor in mathematics and the sciences, the very subjects he had difficulty in throughout their years of being in school. Everything about Boomer seemed to click exceptionally, even though he was in a relationship with Bubbles. His determination, lovability, attentiveness, complete athleticism thanks to his peerless combination of super strength and super speed, considerate nature, kindness, willingness to empathize and be true to himself, and charisma are the very qualities that have always made Boomer so admirable in Blossom’s eyes. She was indubitably over Brick and she was in a relationship with Butch, but something needed to be done. Everything came to a head when Boomer and Blossom finally confessed to their respective siblings a year before graduating High School. Boomer went out of his way to tell Butch how much he loved Blossom but was so jealous of both Brick and Butch for having their eyes set on her. Blossom was at first hesitant to tell Bubbles her true feelings for Boomer, for this will damage the Commander and Leader image she has always built up both privately and publically. Bubbles, being the emphatic listener, was calm throughout the whole affair, even when Blossom stated how much she has admired Boomer for everything he is and will always be. She even admitted straight up to Bubbles how utterly jealous she was when she ended up dating him, even after the debacle that went on with Brick. Butch and Bubbles took the revelations well and have firmly decided to switch life partners, which went on before their second year of college since Bubbles also admired Butch for how super strong, tough, and fierce he was and Butch admired Bubbles for how compassionate, patient, and utterly merciful she was. They then consummated their feelings, blissfully unaware of what was going to happen next. The two pairs stayed with their switched significant others which left Brick and Buttercup rather surprised, considering how stable their relationship has been. Even though the plan of switching life partners proved to have worked, there was one thing that was sort of a loophole in their plans. Five months before graduating High School, Blossom found out that she was pregnant with Boomer’s child. A week later, Bubbles also found out she was pregnant with Butch’s child. The plan truly backfired but Butch, Boomer, Blossom, and Bubbles knew that they will have to make it through the first few months of college with their heads up, in spite of the fact that Mr. Green, Mrs. Bellum-Green, Professor Utonium, and Mrs. Keane-Utonium were utterly shocked that the four of them would go through this type of scenario while being between the ages of seventeen and nineteen. The parental figures had good faith in their four respective children knowing that they can handle the responsibility. If they can handle saving Townsville 24/7, they will surely handle what adulthood is really like. At least, they were able to graduate High School exceptionally, with Blossom being the Class…
This Blossutchoomer or Butch x Blossom x Boomer or Blossutch/Blossoomer fanart is dedicated to Bruno aka H1Gh-V0LtAg3 and Nikki aka RivalCrushAngel who celebrated their birthdays last week. So, Bruno, Nikki, I hope you had an amazing birthday, I wish you all the best in everything you have accomplished so far and stay fine as both people and as artists. Os deseo a ambos mucha suerte, felicidad y amor en tus vidas como artistas y personas. I apologize if this little birthday gift came in late, but real life and my family are my priorities as well as my education. I would also love to dedicate this to all of the awesome Blossutch and Blossoomer shippers out there because I know I am gonna hate sounding like a broken but I very much prefer these two ships over both DexBloss and Blossick, given how flexible, interesting, and exciting both Blossutch and Blossoomer are, especially if it’s a love triangle between Butch, Blossom, and Boomer. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this wonderful OT3. Here we have Butch and Boomer, who are both 26 years old, being the dashing, studly gentlemen that they are and flexing their well-shaped biceps for their lady love Blossom, who is 25 years old. Blossom, on the other, is standing proud and is just admiring the absolute heck out of the both of them, Butch with his super strength, great usage of his muscles, loyalty, and animal instincts and Boomer with his super strength, super speed, well-muscled physique, empathy, and kindness. Ergo, these guys know how to treat Blossom like the queen that she is. Moreover, I think it is a lot more exciting to have a cockfight/beatdown occurring between Butch and Boomer eyeing for Blossom, as opposed to the cockfights going on between Dexter and Brick, which tends to get old really quickly. Methinks that Butch and Boomer will not tire that easily, given how well-built they are as superhumans, thus having their beatdown end in a draw. In terms of the couple nicknames, I basically dubbed Blossutch as, firstly, The Watermelon Couple, and, secondly, as The Beastly Brawn and Brainy Beauty Couple. So, Blossoomer is going to be dubbed as The Berrylicious Couple, with Boomer being blueberry and Blossom being strawberry, The Electric Ice Couple, given how Boomer has lightning powers and Blossom has ice powers, and The Lovable Dumb Muscle and The Eloquent Belle couple. If you’re going to ask me which do I prefer? Blossutch aka The Watermelon Couple or Blossoomer aka the Berrylicious Couple? Here’s what I have to say. I prefer both because at least both pairings accomplish the task of being flexible, fun, plausible, fabulous, and fresh than the overrated pairings found in both Blossick and DexBloss. Plus, I would love more than anything to make either a compoté, smoothie, ice cream, frozen yogurt or a shake out of watermelon, blueberries, and strawberries and just dig in. I know I’m making my viewers hungry at this point. There you have it. A fun and dare I say healthy love triangle to be found in Blossutchoomer or Butch x Blossom x Boomer. I hope you all enjoyed this. So, Butch, Boomer, Blossom, do you have anything to say to our celebrants who had their birthdays last week? Butch, Boomer, and Blossom: Sure. Butch: Hey, Bruno, Nikki, we hope you had an amazing birthday and we hope you guys stay strong. Boomer: Sois artistas fantásticos y os deseo mucho amor, sanidad y felicidad en tus vidas. Blossom: Keep on striving as artists and as people and stay golden. Thanks, guys. See you all in the next submission. Butch, Blossom, and Boomer from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.
This piece of Prinack fanart, as part of my dear BrickercupMasterX3’s Prinack month, is dedicated to Eugenia Makiewicz aka Hagallaz who celebrated her birthday a few days ago. So, Eugenia, I hope you had a blessed, wonderful, blissful, and awesome birthday. I also wish you abundance, love, and joy in your life as both an artist and as a person. Furthermore, I dedicate this to all of the fine people who ship Jack Spicer with Princess Morbucks. I hope you all enjoy this picture with their offspring. What is seen before you, is an influential family consisting of a loving, well-meaning, and rather dashing patriarch in the form of Jack Spicer, his feisty, fiery wife Princess Morbucks-Spicer, and their children: eldest identical twin daughter Margaret and Melanie, who are four years old, middle identical twin sons Nicholas and Napoleon, who are three years old, and youngest daughter Samantha, who is a year old. Let us see how these children came to be. It was one calm evening in the Bahamas, where Jack and Princess were having their honeymoon. All of the sudden, the calmness subsided when Princess announced to her dear husband that she was pregnant, thus returning to Townsville with such glee. The ultrasound showed that she was going to give birth to twin girls. She was very excited about having daughters she and Jack can call their own and in the next months, Princess began to crave for all types berries, watermelon, and even sushi. It all came to a head on April 3, 2014, when Jack and Princess rushed to Townsville Hospital and gave birth to two lovely daughters named Margaret Elizabeth Venus Spicer and Melanie Mary Serena Spicer. When naming their daughters, Jack and Princess had heated discussions, as Jack wanted them to be named Elizabeth and Mary respectively because of the biblical significance found in the former being John the Baptist’s mother and the latter being Jesus’s mother as well as the historical significance in the two queens of Great Britain, Elizabeth I of England and Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, in which both cases they were cousins. Princess wanted something a little bit more trendy, hence she suggested Venus and Serena, as she happened to be a major fan of the Williams sisters and also loves how they not only look but also play tennis like the professionals that they are. Eventually, a compromise was settled when both of them came to an agreement that Margaret and Melanie would be wonderful first names. Margaret’s second names ended up being Elizabeth and Venus while Melanie’s were Mary and Serena. Margaret, the girl with the yellow frock and fuschia ribbons, and Melanie, the girl with the fuschia frock and yellow ribbons, are very much the split images of their mother from her dark red hair to her freckles to her occasionally explosive attitude. Even though both Margaret and Melanie are alike, they have their differences. Margaret is lady-like, elegant, posh and quite eloquent for her age who loves warm colors from yellow to red to orange or any of their hues. Melanie, while as posh and eloquent as Margaret is, is more outspoken, sassy, mischievous, and a bit on the tomboyish side who prefers the cold colors from purple to blue to green and all of their hues. What fascinates Jack and Princess about their eldest twin daughters is just how savvy and smart they are when it comes to spending, unlike Princess when she was a little girl. At times, they can be demanding but it is only because they want to settle for exceptional quality and not anything that is half-assed. Be it clothes or books or accessories, these little ladies know how to strike a deal. On a physical level, they are even developing as gymnasts with all of the rolling and somersaulting they have been doing in the mansion’s grand playpen. Moreover, as much as they love fairy-tales like Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and The Princess and the Pea, both of them have such a knack for other types of literature. Margaret is into the works by Jane Austen, L. Frank Baum, Sir Walter Scott, and Charles Dickens with her favorites being Pride and Prejudice, The Wizard of Oz, Ivanhoe, The Bride of Lammermoor, Oliver Twist, and, of course, A Christmas Carol, thus making her a fan of romantic and slice-of-life novels. Melanie, on the other hand, is more of a science fiction and action adventure person, as she is more into Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan, H.G. Wells’s The Invisible Man and The Time Machine, Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. Aside from their book smarts, they even prove themselves to be people persons, as they are also good friends with Bailey, Barley, Blaze, Brendan, and Blake to the point where they have become their best and firmest of friends. On May 30, 2015, Princess then gave birth to another set of identical twins and this time they were boys. They were christened as Nicholas Laertes Mercutio Spicer and Napoleon Archimedes Coroebus Spicer. Much like how their older sisters are the split images of their mother, Nicholas and Napoleon take after their father in almost every single aspect. Even when they wear Jack’s old goggles, it does not take a genius to know that the apple does not fall too far from the tree. Speaking of genius, both Nick and Nap have a knack for inventing their own toys, which thankfully saves his parents loads of money. Every time, Jack and Princess found a teddy bear in the donation department, the boys would dissect the toy and add in the mechanical gadgets to make a toy like that be mobile and this was done when they were merely two years old. Essentially, Nick and Nap are inventors in the making, thanks to inheriting a lot of Jack’s genius ways and…
