“We’re Not So Different, You and I” (Jezabat’s Ship Edition)

I decided to try doing my own version of this.

So, what do these two pairings have in common?

“mao” is a chinese and japanese name ✍🏾

“shin” is a chinese, japanese AND korean name ✍🏾

“minori” is a japanese name ✍🏾

therefore mao mao and his family are chinese/japanese ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

My brother and I edited a Mao Mao episode because we miss this show so damn much, Part 1

(I finally figured out a loophole to make this video watchable for everyone!)

Today, I brainstormed ideas for how I would continue and conclude Mao Mao. Chances are, none of what I'm about to write is even close to how Parker and the writers intended it to go. But at this point, if I wanna know how this story ends, I'm probably just gonna have to write my own conclusion. (Maybe the show will continue, maybe it won't. I'm just saying.)

Anyway, I'd have the show end after four seasons, and this is how I imagine they'd play out...

Season 2:

-More of the usual stuff. So there's more monster fighting, more Sky Pirate fighting, and more shenanigans around the valley.

-We also find out more about Mao Mao's past, and more about Badgerclops and Adorabat's pasts as well. Therefore, we learn more about characters like the Thicket Thieves and Sonara and Eugene.

-Maybe we get a little bit of history from Sky Pirates as well.

-There are also new characters who come in with both flashbacks and present appearances. For example, in this season, we introduce the sisters and Mao Mao's mom. Maybe each sister has their own episode with the sheriffs, or they're all introduced together in one ep. (I'd have Alina, the name I gave Contacts Sister, be introduced last, personally.)

-In either mid-late Season 2 or early Season 3, Adorabat turns 6, and at her birthday party, she receives her first weapon from Mao and BC as their present for her; at this point, she has enough experience as a hero to get one. I had the idea that her weapon is a shield.

-I also thought of, like, an episode where there's a 1-year anniversary celebration of when Mao Mao and Badgerclops first came to Pure Heart Valley or something.

-At some point in Season 2 or 3, some of the other pirates such as Steel Wing and Thunder Fist come back, too. In fact, the trend of recurring characters is gonna keep going on, and this is mainly because I wanted to see more of characters like Bao Bao and Tanya Keys.

Season 3:

-In this season, we finally find out what the heck is going on with the Ruby Pure Heart.

-Maybe it has something to do with a past ruler before King Snugglemagne, and how he went to extreme lengths to make everything better in the kingdom (because a prominent theme within the show is that you're enough the way you are). But it backfires, so maybe his successor or someone decided to hide the valley away from the world for its own good, and that's why it was cloaked.

-We also get an explanation as to what makes Pure Heart Valley legendary and a further look into why Orangusnake wants the Ruby Pure Heart.

-Also, Season 3 is when we meet Badgerclops' family. He's seen Mao Mao and Adorabat patch things up with their families, and they're still doing that, so he's thinking, "Hm. If they can do it, maybe I can too." So yeah- BC is doing that.

-All the while, Mao Mao is still working things out with his parents and sisters. I think that the sisters are revealed to also have issues, but Mao Mao's helping them overcome their problems with what he's learned.

-Also, Shin Mao has been thinking about everything he's done to his kids since he visited his son, and he's starting to want to make it up to them, even if he knows they're most likely not going to forgive him. It's still worth a shot, though, and he at least wants to try.

-Adorabat is reconnecting with her dad and other possible relatives she has. I like the idea of her telling her relatives about her adventures and heroic stuff, and maybe she does this during the 6th birthday party episode I brought up earlier.

-To expand on the worldbuilding, perhaps there are other places in the world mentioned. Like, for example, maybe there are places of legend or whatever that have the spade, club and diamond in them (because Pure Heart Valley's got the heart).

-Whatever the case is, I think of this being a season where things start to look up for Mao Mao and the gang, but then, it all goes downhill.

-I had this idea that since the Ruby Pure Heart was broken, and then when Orangusnake blasted it that one time, a spirit awoke within the gem. It's probably the spirit of the corrupt king I mentioned earlier who tried so hard to make everything better than it was, but I dunno.

-The spirit reveals himself and then begins his evil plan. Maybe, I don't freaking know... he's gonna grant people's greatest wishes and then use those wishes to harm them, like he did to Adorabat. And it's not just Pure Heart Valley he's gonna corrupt- he's also coming for the rest of the world.

-When Orangusnake and the pirates learn about this, they're like, "On second thought, maybe we're better off doing other pirate stuff..." But the Pure Heart spirit is like, "Well, you wanted to steal the Ruby I came from to become legendary so people would worship you, so now that's what you're gonna do."

-Oh my god, this is AWFUL... So, the stuff above with the spirit and the pirates happens in the Season 3 finale. And because I have no original ideas, I think of it ending Amphibia/Owl House style.

-That is to say, in an intense turn of events, the sheriffs are forced to flee Pure Heart Valley. And because the spirit is starting to take over and corrupt everything, a bunch of evil people are now out to get them, including the Sky Pirates. The spirit possessed them, by the way.

Season 4:

-Mao Mao and Badgerclops are back to traveling around the world and fighting evil. In other words, they're back to square one, pretty much, but it's not the same as it was before because Adorabat's with them.

-The trio travels through a bunch of lands fighting beasts and stopping crimes and stuff, as well as trying to figure out how to stop the Ruby Pure Heart spirit.

-One of the lands they visit happens to be Badgerclops's hometown.

-Eventually, they wind up in the mountains Mao Mao grew up in. When they get there, the entire Mao family has gathered to discuss the current situation, and they're noticeably in distress.

-To spice things up a little more, maybe the sisters' weapons stop working. They lose their powers, and so they freak out.

-If he hasn't done this already, Shin reveals his true size to the rest of the family and apologizes to everyone, admitting that what he did was horrible. The responses are mixed to negative, but he's okay with it because he knew he'd get what's coming for him eventually.

-I thought of a moment where the sheriffs go to a hot spring at some point.

-So, our heroes know that they'll have to "look inside their hearts" (in the words of Zeus from Hercules) in order to save the world and stuff. The character's arcs are being nicely tied up with a bow.

-And I guess Mao Mao, at this point, maybe still wants to be a legend and all that, but not as badly now 'cause he is finally realizing that he's perfectly fine as he is. And BC and Adorabat are realizing that they're okay as they are, too. They're understanding now that maybe they don't need people to love them. 'Cause if you remember, in Lonely Kid, little Mao Mao said that if he becomes a hero, then people will like him. But now, adult Mao Mao knows he doesn't need that.

-So, when the time comes to return to Pure Heart Valley, the gang decides that they're going to take on the Pure Heart spirit as they are. They don't need any upgrades, but they do get some cool-looking armor just for the fun of it.

-When they get there, it's like an apocalyptic wasteland being watched over by a tyrannical spirit, and King Snugglemagne got kicked out of his castle, so he's really in a jam. Maybe, to continue on the point I mentioned earlier, the Sweetypies wished upon the Ruby Pure Heart spirit for something they really wanted, but it went horribly wrong.

-The Sweetypies are, of course, fearing for their lives (except for Pinky), but in the end, they all decide to band together and battle alongside the sheriffs. The spirit's up there saying that Mao Mao will never be a hero or whatever, but they're all coming together to prove him wrong because, despite his flaws, Mao Mao and his crew have really helped them out.

-Characters like Tanya Keys, Bao Bao and others come to the kingdom to join the fight as well. This includes the new characters introduced earlier, like the people from the other lands.

-It proves to be a challenging battle because, thanks to the spirit's corruption, the monsters are stronger, and the Sky Pirates are stronger because they're possessed.

-I also think that, at some point, they battle the Sky Pirates and free them from possession. Perhaps Camille and Honey gave them a magic tool that does that.

-Also, maybe the Sky Pirates reluctantly agree to briefly ally with the sheriffs to fix everything because they don't really want to steal the Ruby Pure Heart anymore. The sheriffs are like, "Alright, fine, but we're going to go back to kicking your butts when this is all over."

-The series finale is probably made up of multiple parts. It's epic, it's suspenseful, and it's exciting. It's the sheriffs battling the evil spirit that came from the Ruby Pure Heart, with the friends they've made along the way (cheesy, I know) helping them.

-The sisters and Shin Mao come in to help at some point. The sisters each have their own reasons. As for Shin, he still wants to do something right for once in his life.

-At one point in the fight, the spirit tries to get in Mao Mao's head, telling him that he can make him a legend. Maybe it shows him, like, a vision akin to the fantasies he had at the beginning of the show. He's like, "Come on. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

-Mao Mao is kind of tempted. But then, he gives this badass speech about how he's already got everything he wants, and how he's being a hero not because people will like him, but because he wants to be there for his loved ones. He cares for them so, so much. "No. I already have everything I've always wanted. I'm enough as I am. I don't want to be a 'legendary hero.' I want to be a hero of pure heart!" (See what I did there?) So then, he goes in his Golden Truth form and finishes the job.

-When the dust finally settles, Mao Mao falls from the Ruby Pure Heart, and Badgerclops catches him as the sun rises in the background. He and Adorabat notice that Mao's not in one piece because, in the heat of battle, he lost his right hand.

-Yeah, you heard me right. Mao Mao loses a hand! There's none of that fakeout death biz. There are actual heroic sacrifices, and people die. Thankfully, it's not one of the main three. I'm thinking that Shin Mao sacrifices himself.

-Here's all the stuff that happens next. So, maybe, once the spirit is defeated, they have a chance to fix the Ruby Pure Heart. But if they do, they won't need to be there, so they decide not to.

-Whatever occurs, this valley is where Mao Mao, Badgerclops and Adorabat want to be, and it's where they know they belong. So, they choose to permanently live in Pure Heart Valley together.

-Mao Mao probably gets, like, a robotic hand, and Badgerclops is thrilled that they're Robot Limb Buddies.

-The sisters invite Mao Mao and his friends on an awesome family adventure together, and they accept. I want Mao Mao to have this, guys. I mean, he's long overdue. He deserves it. But like I said, he wants to stay in Pure Heart Valley, so once they're done, he's heading back there. His sisters promise they'll visit him.

-People are, of course, talking about Shin Mao's "noble" sacrifice. But, as the years pass, more attention is drawn to how Mao Mao and his friends deserve praise as well. And, you know, it ends with them having fun around the kingdom and being the heroes they are.

-Maybe the very last scene is an older Adorabat remembering her childhood. She's at her happiest because all her dreams have come true. She calls up Mao Mao and BC to thank them for showing her how to be a hero, in a way that matches the theme song.

And that's it! I know what you're thinking- this writing is absolutely TERRIBLE. Like I said, folks, this is only how I personally would continue the show. Maybe we'll get more of it someday, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Here's the 12 Pains of Christmas challenge I did last year, inspired by the Bob Rivers parody song...

”Why did you even ask ME to come along and do this with you? I’m not a tree expert.”

”I asked you to come simply because I wanted you to.”

”Badgerclops, if you think you can do it better than I can, then why don’t YOU rig up the lights?!”

“You mustn’t let your daughter see you like this!”

”She won’t. She’s out with her friends right now.”

Dear Sgt. Wolf, Merry Christmas! Or should I say, Happy Holidays? Do they even celebrate Christmas where you live now? I mean, I did see a tree in your part of the castle when I last came to visit, so I guess they do it where you grew up. Whatever. So, have you been playing out in the snow a lot lately? If so, that’s good to hear!

“And to stop staying up until 1 AM playing your video games.”

“EE-VAAAH!”

Day 7 was Charities, but I scrapped the OCs I drew for that day, so it's deleted now.

“I’m not going to buy you anything if THAT’S how you’re going to speak to me, young miss.”

Day 9 was Finding Parking Spaces, but I scrapped the OCs I made for that day, too.

“If anyone can lend us some, it would be those from the pop tribe.”

“Well, if you won’t like that, have you ever watched any of those old stop-motion movies?”

“I’ve seen the one about the reindeer. That giant hairy white monster sure freaked King out.”

”🎶 There is just one thing I need~”

”Oh no… this is the Christmas song that has scarred the ears of retail workers EVERYWHERE.”

This was my first concept for Adorabat having a shield, drawn back in 2019. Somebody pointed out that it looked a tad bit too similar to Goofy’s shield from Kingdom Hearts…

Basically, the shield has the power to enlarge in size a bit and fire beams that counterattack against whatever’s coming at her.

I have no idea why I’d thought of it being called Halle when Adorabat would call it something more along the lines of “Heart Lasers.”

Brunhilde: (answes the phone) Mao residence. Brunhilde speaking.

Mao Mao: IT'S SANTA! He's-

Brunhilde: SANTA?

Mao Mao: He's evil, and he wants to annihilate all mankind!

Brunhilde: I KNEW this day would come! Brother, I'm giving you full access to the anti-Santa arsenal I made when I was a child! Good luck destroying Santa, and Merry Christmas.

The sisters as little kids.

I haven’t lost hope for this show, not even when I started crying and begging the universe for a miracle.

I’m gonna call contacts sister Alina and the bangles one Diana until we find out what their real names are.

I am STILL upset by the fact that Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart was treated so horribly.

The main reason I'm so upset about it is because I wanted to know how the story was going to end.

This show had such an interesting premise for the characters' growth. Watching the concluding moment to your favorite show is saddening. But even with the sadness that would come from seeing a show finally end with no cliffhangers, I still wanted to see that moment happen.

Like, I once saw this post that talked about an idea where there's a Mao family gathering at some point in the future, and Mao Mao shocks everybody by slicing his dad's sword with his own. His dad's legendary sword that had songs written about it was broken by what would be considered a "glowstick." And it means that Mao Mao didn't just amount to his father's legend- he surpassed him. And seeing that post, I thought that would be such a badass moment, and it would also show that Mao Mao's not gonna live in his dad's shadow anymore, and he's breaking free from all the chains that were put on him.

I personally had these ideas for a series finale that 1. our hero comes to terms with the fact that he's enough the way he is ('cause that seemed to be a theme in the show), 2. the other two protags also learn to love themselves for them, and 3. they have a chance to fix the Ruby Pure Heart, but they choose not to because this is it. THIS is where they want to be.

I know- those were terrible ideas, but I'm just emotional is all. #FreeMaoMao.

What your Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart OTP says about you.

(THIS IS ALL A JOKE, so please don't take it seriously. I was inspired by @erin-the-epic's videos to do this.)

Badgerclops/Mao Mao- If you were also in the Unikitty fandom, Frock would be your OTP for that show.

Tanya Keys/Mao Mao- You headcanon that they once dated, and you think they have a chance of getting back together.

Orangusnake/Mao Mao- You're an avid reader of enemies-to-lovers fanfics.

Badgerclops/Tanya Keys- You think Badgerclops can treat Tanya better than Mao Mao.

Adorabat/anyone- STOP IT! Get some help!

Orangusnake/King Snugglemagne- You think if they got married, becoming royalty could make Orangusnake a more powerful villain.

Mao Mao/King Snugglemagne- You think if they got married, becoming royalty could help Mao Mao feel good about himself.

Eugene/Mao Mao- You want to take Mao Mao being a father figure to Adorabat to the next level.

Coby/Tanner- You see their "fusion" as a Garnet-type situation.

Benny/Penny- You thought their watermelon wedding looked pretty, or tasty.

Ol' Blue/Muffins- You like the sound of their ship name (Blueberry Muffins), and I don't blame you.

Slim Pigguns/Pinky- Ooooh! I like your style, pal. >:)

Mao Mao/Bao Bao- STOP IT! Get some help!

Honey/Mao Mao- You just think their personalities could rub off on each other.

Mao Mao/Poppy- The Poppy in question is the Trolls character. Yes, this is really a thing. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwPiMDZe3uM)
