Voxman SS

@voxmansecretsanta2019

Happy Holidays @itsjolie99! I was your SS! I hope you like it!

He couldn’t say that the day had started any differently than it usually did.

The professor awoke in an empty bed, his Boxman’s - who had woken up MUCH earlier - body heat finally fading from the sheets, forcing him to groggily begin to move.

He pulled his lab coat on over his silk pajamas and slipped on his fuzzy chicken slippers - a thoughtful gift from his aforementioned partner, they may look silly but they were practical; the metal catwalks of their factory home were unbearably cold in the morning without them. And they matched Boxy’s aesthetic.

The coffee pot was hot and waiting for him as he arrived in the small kitchen for the few organics that lived here now. Fink was already at the small table eager to start complaining about whatever thing she hoped would convince him to change his mind about living here with Boxman. He nodded politely as he turned his coffee into a super-saturated concoction of sugar, not even sitting down to drink the first mug.

“-and then - and then! They put me on the conveyor belt!” It wasn’t until the second cup, served in his #1 BOSS coffee cup, that Fink’s words actually, finally pierced his awakening brain.

Even the explosion that prevented him from asking Fink for more clarification was not an unusual thing in the scheme of his morning schedule, “I’m afraid you’ll have to hold that thought, Fink.”

“I dunno why you always rush to the lab at every little explosion! Boxbutt’s always fine! He’s unkillable!” And she should know, she’d tried to poison him at least three times since they moved in here.

“But the one time I don’t check is the one time he’ll actually need help,” And his usual go-to excuse reply. Grabbing a third cup of coffee, he headed down to their joint workshop.

By the time he got down there, the coffee was gone and the mug handed off to a passing Darrell, which was good. Because as soon as he opened the door the norm had finally been shaken.

The man? Cyborg? Robot? That hovered an inch or two off of the floor, in the middle of the lab was easily taller than Venomous by at least a foot.

As the professor glanced around the room to see where Boxman got to -because this guy definitely was rocking the Boxman aesthetic so it had to be one of his creations - the being put his hands on his hips and spoke.

“How do I look, P.V?” That was Boxman’s voice, coming out of the hulking figure. That WAS Boxman. And Venomous’s mind jumped in a million different directions at once and the thought that came out of his mouth first was...

“Where did your talon go?” Any doubt that this wasn’t Boxman disappeared with the frustrated expression and the not quite a screech response.

“Really? I’m all big and handsome and that’s the first thing you notice?”

“You’re always handsome,” Venomous couldn’t stop the words from slipping out; so it was a good thing he always sounded like a smooth talker. Also, the sputtering, flustered response from Boxman was almost worth the honesty.

“Yeah - well-! Mmmph!”

“So how did you manage this? Some sort of exo-suit?” Venomous drew closer, laying a hand on the surprisingly muscly arm and giving it a test squeeze. It definitely felt like flesh.

Boxman swatted the groping hand away, before scooping Venomous up with ease. Not that it was ever really hard to pick up the noodle, “Nope, not a suit or a robot. This is all me, baby! At full potential! I call me: LORD BOXMAX!”

Venomous tensed, being picked up by Boxman wasn’t an unpleasant experience but this was quite a difference in height...

“Alright, Lord Boxmax, but how? How did you reach your full potential?”It wasn’t like the Professor’d been working on a way to achieve something like that for years or anything.

Boxmax shrugged, dropping PV less-than-gently, “Potion I stole from Vormulax.”

“Are you saying to stole a potion from another villain and drank it? And knowing you, you didn’t even know what it did before you took it, did you?” Cue folded arms and the look.

“You can’t say anything! You turned yourself purple testing on yourself!” Lord Boxmax huffed, arms up in the air, “I’m fine! I’m better than fine! I’m Lord Boxmax and I’m going to single-handedly destroy the plaza!”

With that proclamation, he hovered up, probably intending to bust through the ceilings and wall on the way to his target. But instead, the potion finally wore off and gravity reclaimed the cyborg, “Oh, poop.”

The former hero in him made Venomous instinctively shoot his arms to catch his round boyfriend. This was a mistake that resulted in the purple man practically flattened by his fellow villain.

“You gotta stop doing that. P.V!” Boxman chided, helping his noodle boyfr------- partner up off the floor, “I’m tiny but dense.”

“Mmm, I'll say,” Venomous agreed, stretching his back - was that a jibe at Boxman’s common sense or was he genuinely agreeing the man was heavy? “Sorry, you didn’t get to test your new form on the plaza, Box.”

The cyborg shrugged, “I’ll get another bottle next time I crossover with Vormulax’s story. Besides... I missed this.”

“Missed wha-?” Venomous started to ask when Boxman slipped his talon into professor’s hand, “Oh. Me too.”

“Ugh, gross!”

“Then don’t come down here when we’re working, Fink.”

“If I don’t then how’re you gonna know that the bots tried to make lunch n’ burned everything cuz’ you guys were down here bein’ gross fer so long! C’mon, Boss! Boxbutt! Grab a fire extinguisher n’ let's go!”

And just like that. The day was back to routine. And while the little detour had been fun... the professor was glad for things to be... as normal as they got around here.

You have been granted the oppurtunity to recast your favorite animated movie! The only catch is that each of the characters in said movie are animated characters from different shows/movies (X from show/movie is Bob, X from show/movie is Larry, ect.)

Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boi. You have no idea what you’ve just unleashed, my friend!

Once long ago, before the Cringe Ages, I loved recasting my favourite and sometimes least favourite movies with characters from my favourite shows. But then I started taking storytelling more seriously and sentimentally and… art-y, and I started acting as if I was above the stuff somehow. To this day, I still don’t know whether to blame the masses or my own hubris.

But now! Now, the floodgates of my childish, innocent mind are open once more! And I have just the idea: The Nightmare Before Christmas but with Villainous and Batman* characters! (With a few CN villains on the side.) So, I guess you could call it…

The Villainous Nightmare Before Batman!

(No, wait. Uhhhhh…)

The Dark Knight Before Villainous!

Ok, yeah, that should do.

Now you’re probably asking yourself, “Dapper Critter, what are you doing this? Sure, Batman meets Villainous could work, but why are you bringing The Nightmare Before Christmas into this? It’s not even Halloween or Christmas! What are you thinking?!” Well, first of all, Christmas and Halloween aren’t just holidays, they’re states-of-mind. Second, I think it’s time you guys learned something important: I’m a big ol’ lowkey goth baby, baby! If it’s spooky or gothic, I’ll soak it up like a sponge in sink full of soapy water. And nothing says gothic like the hero of a city literally called “Gotham,” a show with a grotesque monster hiding behind the guise of a well-dressed man, and the classic story of Jack Skellington himself! What’s more, all three of these hold a special place in my heart, as they all played a huge part in helping me develop and realize my interest in gothic culture. Lastly, I can see the worlds of these three stories coming together quite easily. Behold, this plot pitch I just made!

“Another Halloween has come and gone in CN City, and another cheerful Christmas is on its way. Black Hat, unofficial master of all that is dark and evil, is thoroughly disgusted that the multiverse will soon be returning to it’s obnoxiously cheerful and wholesome state. He morosely tears a hole through time and space to talk a walk through reality, miserable that he’s stuck living in such a wonderful place. That is until he stumbles upon the city of Gotham, where no matter what time of year it is, the streets are filled with misery and malicious mayhem. Delighted, he sets out to celebrate Christmas his own way: by taking a certain caped-crusader out of the picture and making Gotham his very own holiday vacation home! Little does he know, there’s one special girl who thinks he can celebrate right where he is, as well as a certain clown who’s got his own sinister Christmas party in mind…”

So now that I’ve convinced you, I think it’s time we got down to the actual recasting! Let’s begin, my darling children of the Hot Topic night…

Black Hat as Jack Skellington: This couldn’t have been easier—they’re both creepy gentlemen with excellent taste in fashion. Yes, I know Black Hat is a lot less nice than our dear Pumpkin King, but let’s just say this story takes the odd liberty here and there. Not to mention, Black Hat could easily match Jack’s enthusiasm, intelligence, style, and obsessive inquisitions. Plus, he could totally pull off an evil Santa suit. (Though to be honest, I’m not sure if his snarling, slimy, cockney-accented voice could match Danny Elfman’s melodious singing.)

Demencia as Sally: A devoted, mildly ghoulish, and totally cute fangirl who’s always pining after their darling idol, and who may or may not have been made in a lab? It’s like this fancast is writing itself! Demencia might be a bit more proactive—and scary—in the plot, but I can see her a lot Sally’s dilemma in her as she tries to get Black Hat to notice her and not to abandon them in pursuit of a crazy dream. (Well, that I’m filthy Lizardhat trash.)

Dr. Flug as Dr. Finklestein: Flug, being the only mad scientist who’s employed by Black Hat, as well as the only to survive this, seems like a good pick. Sure, he’s not in a wheelchair and, no, he’s not as creepy as the bugger, but he could still work as our horrid hero’s right-hand man. Plus, since a big part of his canon character is putting up with Demencia’s BS (tell my family that means “baloney-sandwich”), he’d also do great as the one trying to keep the free-spirited love interest under control. Only here, it would be because he’s trying to keep Dem out of trouble so she doesn’t make his boss mad and try to kill him, as opposed to… whatever Finklestein’s problem is. And of course, he can still be menacing if need be. (Just watch the Lost Cases of Townsville and The Tree House…)

5.0.5. as Zero: A cute animal sidekick is a cute animal sidekick, I always say! And 5.0.5. was basically designed to be the ultimate cutesy animal sidekick. Therefore, he can be basically do anything Zero did. Try to cheer up Black Hat? Check. Pull Black Hate’s sleigh? Why couldn’t he? Yeah, he can’t be a flying ghost dog with a glowing nose, but I could just throw bedsheet on him (it was just after Halloween after all) and maybe say he swallowed that anti-gravity device.

Batman as Santa Claus: For Santa Clause, I needed someone who could be the absolute good guy in a world filled with bad guys and weirdos, much like Santa was in the movie. Likewise, since Jack kidnapped Santa to take over Christmas, Black Hat would need to kidnap the guy in charge of Gotham in order to take it for himself. So, of course he’s going to go after it’s #1 protector. I can also see Batman being the voice of reason in this madcap story. Not to mention that he could pull off a Santa suit even better than Black Hat! (In fact…)

The Joker as Oogie Boogie: This one I had some trouble with. I kept asking myself stuff like, “who would be brave enough to usurp Black Hat?,” “who could match Oogie’s siz—er, presence?” or “who would want to kidnap Santa Claus?,” and “Who would be into gambling and crazy funhouse stuff?” And then it came to me: The Joker. I mean, he’s got charisma, a sense of menace, he’s a cutthroat who loves to play with his enemies, and almost always has a big ol’ amusement park deathtrap on hand. Sure, he wouldn’t have the creepy demise like Oogie, but he could get a good beating and traumatizing from Black Hat and/or Demencia (who’d really hate being a damsel in distress, I imagine).

The Delightful Children from Down the Lane as Lock, Shock, and Barrel: At first, I thought of using other Batman villains or Shannon, Darrell, and Ernesto from OK K.O.!, but then I thought it would make more sense to have child villains from a CN show who could do bad things for slime-balls like Black Hat and Joker with pleasure. I instantly thought of these scheming, little monsters from Codename: Kids Next Door (an old favourite of mine). Although they’re usually talk and act in unison, they could have some comical bickering now and then. (After all, “Lenny is an idiot.”) Likewise, I can see Black Hat using Batman’s affinity for young people to get him while his guard’s down. They could make for great trick r’ treaters as well!

Lord Boxman as The Mayor: The mayor wasn’t a very important character, but he was definitely a memorable one, and the first character I thought of who could match his dual personality was Lord Boxman from OK K.O.! They both act like leaders but are really terrible at their jobs, suck up to better villains, and throw a whimpering tantrum like nobody else. (Also, I get to imagine Jim Cummings singing lines from The Nightmare Before Christmas songs, so that’s nice.)

Various CN Villains as The Citizens of Halloween Town: Like with The Mayor and the Trick R’ Treaters, I like to think that the various CN villains who cameoed in the Villainous Orientation series would show up as the denizens of the seedier side of CN City which—as you probably guessed—would be standing in for Halloween Town. Unfortunately, I do not have an encylcopediac knowledge of either Halloween Town residents, nor CN villains, so I’ll just list the ones I can remember and am the most proud of without offering any real justification.

Nohyas as Mr. Hyde: I couldn’t think of anyone besides Black Hat with a fancy hat or smaller versions of himself. Nohyas just so happens to have a suitable villain’s hat, and Handre (his hand puppet) could work in place of tiny clones living under his hats. (And yes, I like Mighty Magiswords. Deal with it.)

Zombozo as Clown with the Tear-Away Face: I don’t believe all creepy clowns look the same, but a ghoulish clown could easily stand in for another. Plus, I used to be a big Ben 10 fan, so I thought I ought to work something in.

Donny as Behemoth: This grass ogre from Adventure Time was more of an outright jerk than Behemoth, but he has a softer side so that would make him a great candidate for a resident gentle giant.

Loony Toons’ Dracula, Billy and Mandy’s Dracula, and Count Spankula as The Vampire Brothers: Do I really need to explain this one?

The Red Guy as Devil: I sure don’t need to elaborate on this one.

The Gangreen Gang as the Zombie Band: The Gangreens were basically based off edgy bands of the late 90’s, and thanks to Gorillaz, we know Ace can play the bass like a boss. Also, I can totally hear Ace saying, “Nice work, bone-daddy.”

Earl (AKA Dopey Black Hat) as Igor: Earl doesn’t get enough to do, inside or outside of Villainous canon.

The Beast as The Hanging Tree: Yeah, I know, I’m messed-up.

HIM as Harlequin Demon: Seriously, this one cast itself!

The Queen of the Black Puddle as Undersea Gal: I don’t watch Courage the Cowardly Dog much, but I remember seeing this villainess once before and I instantly thought she’d be a dead-ringer!

Morbidia and Gateaux as The Witches: Another natural casting derived from my soft spot for Mighty Magiswords. Although Gateaux is a male and a tall one at that, he’s perfect for being a huge suck-up. (I originally considered Miss Endive from Chowder and Duchess from Fosters’ Home for Imaginary Friends, but then I remembered that no matter what they dressed-up as, they’d be unlikeable.)

Monstrous Black Hat as The Monster Under the Bed: Like Earl and the other Black Hat clones, he doesn’t get enough love. (Though this may be a good thing, since he seems too nasty to receive or return it…)

Rob as The Melting Man: There aren’t a lot of CN villains who are melting, per se, but I figured this poor bad guy from Amazing World of Gumball and his unique media-mixed malformity could work.

Biowolf as The Wolfman: Because they’re both well designed wolfmen and I refuse to forget Generator Rex.

The Robins, Batgirl, and Alfred as the Elves: If Batman’s going to be Santa, then his support staff/family might as well be his helpers. Not to mention, they’d look great in cute little elf outfits happily working on Batman’s gadgets in preparation for the big Christmas crime wave.

The Justice League as The Army: Someone needs to show up to shoot-down Black Hat and his idea of Christmas at the end, and since he’s kidnapped Batman, I think it only makes sense that the Justice League would retaliate and come to clean up Black Hat’s mess. He’d also get a reminder that he isn’t just in Gotham City, he’s in the DC universe.

Unikitty as The Easter Bunny: I have my reasons. Them being, Unikitty is good at being sweet and innocent, the episode “Batkitty,” and her world is one of the few Black Hat has interacted with so far. I like to think that’s because he’s too repulsed by her cuteness to touch it. So imagine his reaction when the Delightful Children bring him to her by accident while she’s cosplaying as LEGO Batman or something.

And there you have it! I had a lot of fun making this recast. It was a great way to step out of my comfort zone and to have some fun. Not to mention, I had an excuse to listen to the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack early. I sincerely hope you like it as much as I do, @good-guy-is-alive!

Now I just need to make sure Black Hat himself doesn’t see this, or else he might find me and—

Oh no.

No, please, Mister Black Hat, sir, you don’t understand. I just was doing this for fun. I wasn’t trying to make you look—

OH NO.

NO!

NOOOOOOOOOOjglkajgflkjdshGH;LJF’W abfklghlfuGFARGTADS!!!#%RQ#@!

…

*Since DC changes their Batman shows like people change their socks, we’ll just say that this is your standard DCAU/Bruce Timmverse Batman.

SUPER LONG KO/TKO CHARACTER ANALYSIS THAT NOBODY ASKED FOR (part 3)

(longest one yet guys! hope you enjoy!)

First post

Second post

And now....the moment you’ve all been waiting for....

PART 3!!!

In this installment of KO/TKO character analysis, we will taking be a look at the episode: You’re In Control.

So, in this episode, we waste almost no time getting into the KO/TKO business! Which is freaking great in my opinion! (for obvious reasons)

We start off with seeing Dendy and KO experimenting with unleashing TKO.

The whole scene by itself was very interesting. But something even more interesting happened. Maybe most of you didn’t quite catch it, it was really quick and super easy to glance over, but take a closer look at it with me.

Notice that when TKO was about to come out, KO made this face:

But also take a look at the face KO makes when he’s apologizing to Rad and Enid after he and Dendy get caught:

EERILY SIMILAR!

Like even down to the slightly flowy hair the body has when its in the mid-way point of TKO coming out.

Now you may be wondering where the purple aura went? Well when TKO was about to come out then, he was getting straight up insulted by Dendy, He was mad. And we know that that purple aura only really comes out when he is angry or when he is using his levitation ability. Here, he wasn’t really angry, just feeling regretful and sorry for the actions Rad and Enid bring up. They weren't insulting KO, they were calling him out. Which is completely different.

Guys, TKO was probably also trying to say sorry to his friends. After all, he still considers them to be his friends, as i proved in the first post.

Enid and Rad are scolding KO about TKO for the damage he’s done and the people he hurt.

Take a closer look at KO as they are doing that.

If you look really closely (and try your best to ignore Rad’s hilarious face) KO has grown a tooth. A sharp tooth. Like a fang.

Now who do we know who has sharp teeth/fangs?

TKO!!

Notice, KO was showing signs of frustration and and regret, both are negative emotions. TKO is the manifestation of the body’s negative emotions, so it would make sense that he would almost come out when feeling two negative emotions, But remember, KO has to feel completely powerless in order for TKO to fully emerge. So if your wondering why he didn’t quite come out, he just wasn’t feeling enough negativity.

Now on to the next TKO moment.

After Boxman Jr. has pretty much beaten up everyone, KO suggests that he let TKO out. His mother tries to laugh it off and convince everyone that friendship and teamwork are the best way to fight.

But look at KO’s face change the moment she says “friendship”

He makes like a worried face. This is like the first time we see KO pretty much doubt his mother’s words.

That’s almost out of character for the KO we have come to know.

When KO begins to have his thought process about what is the best thing to do in order to stop Boxman Jr., Everything is blue, just like most of KO’s powers have been shown to be. (such as his power fists)

We hear what he’s thinking: “ Nobody gets it. I know they don’t trust me, but… Even Mom got beat up Boxman Jr. They can’t stop him. It has to be me.”

Notice how when he says “it has to be me”, the background changes to purple: aka TKO’s aura and his face changes to that mid-way KO/TKO face.

Now we continue hearing thoughts in KO’s voice but I’m pretty sure its TKO’s thoughts we are hearing based on the fact that the body begins to resemble TKO more and more as the thought process continues. Not to mention the background remains purple.

Now listen to TKO’s thoughts: “ I’m different. Teamwork may be strong, but I have the power to be stronger. I’ll save the entire Plaza all by myself.”

TKO sounds kinda smart here. Now im not saying that teamwork and friendship can’t solve a problem, but sometimes using brute force and strength is the way.

And notice he says “I’ll save the entire plaza all by myself.” and he says all of this while carrying his mother out of harm’s way.

Once again proof that ultimately, TKO is a good guy with serious anger problems that can be solved once he has a healthy outlet and is no longer in that cage.

TKO almost hit his mom in his debut, why would he bother saving her now if he didn’t care?

So by now KO is feeling all the right emotions that lead up to the level of powerlessness that he needs to feel in order for TKO to fully come out.

And then Enid and Rad are back at it again with their talent of being TKO’s last straw. When they say he isn’t strong enough and that he’s just a kid and that he isn’t even level one yet.

You’ve done it now...

Anyway, so then we cut to TKO and KO in the mind of the body.

And TKO is just shown to be suffereing in that cage. He’s been there his whole life, he got out once only to be thrown back in. The second time he got out he went back almost willingly. (which he is probably regretting right now.) And now that everyone knows he’s in there they want to control him. But like I said, no one person can control another one person.

Dendy and KO’s experiments have been toying with poor TKO’s sensitive emotions for Cob knows how long! I mean look at that thing!

That cage has claw marks on it now! CLAW MARKS!

Dude has been going ham on that cage! How much pent up anger do you have to have to put claw marks on a virtually indestructible cage? (Like the cage can really only be broken when TKO feels powerless enough and KO feels positive enough.)

gosh it must’ve been like torture!

So moving on, TKO pounces on KO as soon as he realises he is there in the mind with him and asks him what do you want?

Now you may be wondering, why doesn’t TKO know KO is there to let him out?

Well like I said in the second post, KO can’t hear TKO’s thoughts so that means TKO can’t hear KO’s thoughts. TKO didn’t know that KO just so happened to be thinking the same thing, that he is the only one who can stop Boxman Jr. And KO didn’t come in there to let TKO out because he heard his thoughts, he came in there by his own choice. I mean look at how excited TKO is when he is let out!

He honestly wasn’t expecting any type of freedom today. In fact he goes right into attacking KO since he’s mad at him for all the experimenting.

But notice that when KO says he needs him, his reaction is very surprised before he goes into this cocky attitude.

*gasp!*

Look at that surprised face. Seriously, if they can read each other's thoughts, why is he so surprised? Why is he attacking KO if he should already know Boxman Jr is his target.

And honestly, can we just witness this purple nugget?

how is he evil? He’s literally just a cocky edgy boy.

But honestly I think he’s so happy to here KO say that. For so many years he’s been trapped in that awful cage, deemed as unwanted emotion by KO. But now, he’s more than wanted, KO said he needs him.

So moving on, TKO locks KO up in the cage as he takes over the body. Remember when he came out and he gave his mom a little shock?

Now people think that’s because he was being mean again or he just had so much static energy on him that it shocked her on accident.

I personally believe that TKO did shock her on purpose. BUt not because he was being mean, I think it was more of a “love tap”

If you don’t know what i mean let me explain, Have you, as little kid, ever gotten a little too close to something that you didn’t know was dangerous, and then your mom or dad would notice and tap you on the hand kind of hard and say “No! Don’t touch that!”

Its okay if you don’t know what I mean, Not every parent does that. But my mom did, especially when I got too close to the stove/oven while she was making dinner. She’d smack my hand and tell me “No! It’s hot!”

It was never hard enough to make me cry or anything, but it kept me away from the stove until i was old enough to understand that it was very hot and I shouldn’t touch it without oven mitts or something. It was a love tap.

So I think TKO remembered how he almost hurt his mom, and he remembered how he can get when he starts letting out all his anger. He knows he’s dangerous to be around. So he gave his mom a little zap so she wouldn’t get hurt by him again. I mean notice how he turns away from her after he does it.He knows that woman isn’t his target. And you know he did it on purpose! he looks dead at her when he does it.

He just wants her out of the way. Scare her a bit. But he still kind of stands in front of her in a semi-protective manner.

Now moving on to the fight scene.

TKO sends Boxman Jr flying back into the Boxmore factory. Now, with most fights, that would be where they end. A robot gets tossed back to to Boxmore and the fight is over. But Boxman Jr isn’t just any robot, he’s a very powerful robot. (mainly because he has that chip in his brain that Professor Venomous gave to Boxman in the episode “Villans Night Out”

((Like serously, Ive seen a lot of people wondering why Boxman Jr was so powerful and I’m like, ITS BECAUSE OF PROFESSOR V’S BIOCHIP!!! like for real, how are yall forgetting episodes within the same season? Did you guys really just miss that whole episode?))

TKO knows Boxman Jr is strong. KO said he needed him. He may have acted cocky, but im sure he isn’t stupid. Im sure he knows that if KO willingly let’s him out like that, he must be fighting a very powerful foe.

TKO knows that it’s gonna take more that a good toss across the street to handle this Boxmore Bot. He’s going all out on this twerp.

Ive also seen alot of people get super confusded as to why TKO/KO were allowed to “beat up a baby”...

ARE YOU FOR REAL?? HE IS A ROBOT!!!

A ROBOT!!

Boxman created him just like all his “kids” (aka every other robot in the show)

Everybody knows that kids shows can always have brutal murderous fight scenes as long as its a robot that’s taking most of the damage.

And that funeral scene they have at the end of the episode? Boxman Jr. was still a robot, but he was the only one of his kind. There are thousands of Darrells, Shannons, Raymonds, Ernestos and Jethros. But there was only one Boxman Jr. So yeah, a funeral seemed a appropriate. But nobody killed a baby, they destroyed a robot.

But anyway, back to TKO/KO (that’s what your all here for after all)

Alright so remember how KO was crying for TKO to stop because Rad and Enid had fell? Well people are saying he is a monster for not caring enough to save his friends? Just so you know....

I don’t even think TKO saw Rad and Enid fall, he is obviously too focused on his fight. And your probably wondering “but he has to have seen them! KO saw them and he’s looking through TKO’s eyes!”

Okay but TKO zipped by them really super fast and like I said, he’s focused on his fight. And just because KO can see through TKO’s eyes, doesn’t mean TKO can see something that was in the corner of his eye. Especially if he’s zipping around as fast as he is in this episode. KO just happened to see a glimpse of his friends.

(and honestly why didn’t Rad just levitate? I know he was probably too shocked/and scared but...still..)

Also, people are saying that when TKO did this:

He’s being evil or that he is evil and honestly...

Just let the kid express himself. TKO knew he’d be going all out on this foe, a little self expression is what he needs to let out all that pent up energy and rage. Its harmless.

And then we get to that oh so touching part where Dendy hugs TKO. But notice what TKO does.

You’d think his first line of action would be violence, like throwing her off. But he doesn’t he just simply tells her to get off of him.

HE ACUTUALLY EVEN LOOKS AWAY.

He looks back at his target, Boxman Jr. Before Enid comes in and joins in on the hugging, he says “I have to-”

I’m willing to bet he was about to say “I have to beat Boxman Jr!”

TKO doesen’t even want to pay Dendy any mind. He came out here to destroy Boxman Jr. He didn’t forget his target, he is honestly keeping his eyes on the prize. Good boy, TKO!

Now moving on to when They all hug TKO, causing him to get sucked back into the body’s mind.

Notice that, the moment he gets sucked in, the cage breaks around KO:

And notice how when it breaks, it is blue, which is KO’s aura color.

I think this is the extact moment KO had the idea to make peace with TKO at all. I mean, look at how calm he is when he says “I can beat him”

He says it and explains it like he’s already thought the whole thing through. Because he did. That’s why the cage breaks before he explains himself and not after.

And I love TKO here, “the only thing i want, is to keep fighting...”

Just give the angry plum something to punch, and he’ll be a good boy! He’s a manifestation of negative emotion after all. He as to let it out some how!

And look how happy he is when he gets his new toy!

That’s all he needed.

And then they make that iconic deal.

“no take-backs..”

These chains are a sign that these boys are now linked.

And I believe it also means KO can never bring the cage back. Even if he wants to. (although if he does manage to bring the cage back for whatever reason, i wonder how it would all play out)

So after this deal, KO goes into the physical world to fight Boxamn Jr with the help of TKO’s power.

That fight was cool but lets take a look at some of the smaller stuff that happens.

I saw someone suggest that this scene seemed out of character. KO just plopping his friends on the ground. Maybe it does seem out of character for the KO we knew several minutes ago, But this is the version of KO that is now linked to TKO!

So some stuff might seem a little a out of character. Like that scene where they almost touched his hair but he swatted their hands away.

That’s a purple background! Even though he only swatted it to reveal an adorable hair cut, that’s still a purple background. Its still the TKO in him.

I mean if TKO’s powers are allowed to come out and help KO in a fight, why can’t some of TKO’s personality come out to? Makes sense to me.

HOLY SWEET POTATOES!!! THIS ONE WAS A LOT TO WRITE OUT aND HARD TO FIND SCREEN SHOTS FOR. (I had to make some of those gifs myself! The love tap gif and the gif where he drops his friends, and the ruin to all who appose me gif)

ANyway!!!

Hope you enjoyed your read! Part 4 is coming soon! We’ll be taking a look at....

You guessed it!

No Love Allowed

My first OK K.O.! fanfic, because I’m not officially in a fandom if I don’t make at least one.

A somewhat one-sided (you’ll see why) Radmond fanfic that accidentally became angst. I did not have a set mood for this when I planned on writing it so that kinda explains it. It’s SFW but it DOES get heavy as the story goes on so, yeah, hold your horses.

I posted this first on AO3. You can read it there, if you like. Here’s the link.

Since the creation of the first Raymond, many of his type have been manufactured and shipped to every super villain in the area along with the others. In Box More, among the many rooms was also a game room or gymnasium of sorts which is where most of those Raymonds preferred to hangout by default due to their sports themed programming.

Known for being prideful and narcissistic, they mostly kept to themselves, preferring to mingle with one another. It wasn't everyday that the original Raymond, which they--or themselves, rather, if their hive mind was active at the time--have unanimously dubbed 'Raymond Classic' come visit them so it came as a surprise when he did.

"Raymond!" they all greeted, almost like a cheer. They motion to crowd him and ask what he was doing here, how things were going, and if he came to practice with them or play a game of whatever sport he'd suggest. However, they soon realize he was not in high spirits because today, his usually confident demeanor was absent. They know that look; something was wrong.

"I'm just gonna go ahead and say it," Raymond said. The original one, that is. "I think I have a crush on someone."

The group of Raymond's went silent, engaging their thought processes into one, gathering new information as Raymond Classic continue to speak.

"But that's not the worst part... I have a crush on a hero!" he added. "And not just any hero either."

He pressed his hands on his face in frustration.

Falling in love was one thing, but to fall in love with the wrong individual was another.

"Why him?" he asked himself, looking up into the heavens as if an invisble spotlight shone upon him to emphasize his anguish. "Why, oh, why did it have to be him?"

Raymond just HAD to go head over heels for a certain blue alien who happened to be the enemy working at the bodega in Lakewood Plaza Turbo. He'd lay all night unable to shut down while recharging himself, thinking about him. Heck, he even remembered his name--Radicles or 'Rad' for short--and his stupid beautiful face with his dumb hot muscular body. He hasn't even mentioned his huge ego that's just begging to be stroked.

And yet there was apparently more to him than meets the eye. As of late, Raymond had took the habit of sneaking out to try and watch over him as covertly as he could. He had been caught only a few times by his fellow robot siblings but he was cool and convincing enough to come up with an excuse that stopped all form of suspicion. Anyway, the first and most obvious that he found out about him was the alien's love of cats, and anything cat themed. He also babysat, and did yoga--Raymond wondered if that also helped Rad stay in shape.

It was wrong what he was doing and an utter violation of privacy. He could feel his cooling fans overworking again and it was all Rad's fault. Not really, but it might as well have! All of the Raymond's agreed.

"Stupid Radicles! You... beautiful meathead! I hate... that I don't hate you!" Raymond got down on his knees, his pointy nose hitting the floor.

Raymond wouldn't dare let anyone know of these feelings nor all of these escapades, especially Lord Boxman, who despised anything resembling friendship or goodness. He'd show Raymond a red card right away, or worse... He'd rather not dwell on it any longer so he gave that bit of thought a time out.

"Coach Boxdad will not approve," Raymond uttered. "I'll be out before I even get three strikes."

What was it about that made his father despise any bond that's considered benevolent? And it seemed mighty hypocritical too with the man's obvious crush to one of his clients. Then again, Professor Venomous was a high negative level villain with an admittedly slick fashion sense. So once again, it comes down to falling in love with the wrong person at the worst situation possible.

"If only things were different, like... What if I wasn't built for evil? Or what if he [Radicles] was on our team instead?" Raymond thought out loud as his companions contemplated also. "But what if things stayed the same, and we're all made the way we were but we just leave the plaza alone once and for all?!"

The more he thought about it, the only obstacle that ever kept him from pursuing Rad was their objective of fighting the heroes at Gar's Bodega, and all because his father had an issue with them which amounts to a bunch of kids playing in his front yard. It was stupidly petty as to be annoying.

"This stinks..." Raymond said through gritted teeth. "The only thing worse about things that would never ever change, is that they COULD change but I know that will never happen!"

He couldn't stop them any longer, and a stream of liquid ran down from his eye. His other eye did the same. The Raymonds followed suit but without any of the emotion the original had. They stood there like the robots they were meant to be; several bodies with only one objective in mind.

Raymond then thought how cruel it was of Boxman to assign these feelings if none of them could act upon it. Nothing was going to come and touch his shoulder, to try and tell him that things will be alright, though they were all standing right in front of him. They can't do anything beyond that. Ironically, it was the most alone he felt.

"Raymond!" Lord Boxman yelled. "I need to have a word with you... at my office!"

"Ooh..." Darrell and Shannon droned in unison. They along with Raymond were watching TV on the couch when their brother was suddenly called.

"Looks like someone's in trouble," Shannon said.

"Preposterous!" Raymond huffed. "He's probably summoning me to be complimented on... a job that I have done most successfully. Whatever that is..."

Raymond trailed off at the last bit.

"I don't know. Dad looked pretty teed off," Darrell noted. "See what I did there? 'Teed'? As in golf? Y'know, like the sport? Because that's Raymond's thing and--"

"Yeah, I get it!" Shannon hissed, stopping Darrell from elbowing her any longer. "But it's HIS thing, not yours! That's what you get for not having a gimmick. Plagiarism!"

"I do too have a gimmick!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

Raymond rolled his eyes and walked away, leaving his two siblings to continue their silly argument. He reached Lord Boxman's office, letting himself in as the door had been ajar.

"Come closer," Boxman beckoned.

Keeping his stance upright, Raymond refused to show anything resembling nervousness or doubt as he walked closer to his father's desk.

"Hi, Coach," Raymond began. "Any reason you wanted to see me?"

"That's a stupid question!" Boxman exclaimed. "Why on earth would I call you here if I HAD no reason?"

"Oh, haha! I'm just messing with you, Coach!" Raymond said, trying to save face. "I simply mean... what particular reason that you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, yes, I'll get to that. But first, let me say something; you know I consider us a family, right?"

"Yeah?"

"And when someone in a family has a problem... they usually go to whoever is the head of the household for, well, advice. Ideally, that's what's supposed to happen. But I am your maker, so I got that role covered."

"That's why you're the coach!"

"Now to answer your question from earlier, I called you here because..." Lord Boxman paused on purpose before he spoke again. "I wish to know if you are having any issues recently. If something is eating you."

For some reason that got Raymond very worried which Boxman was quick to catch with the way the robot's expression changed.

"So tell me, my star player. Are you having trouble with anything lately?"

"N-Nothing that you need to be TOO concerned about, Coach," Raymond answered, mentally beating himself for that stutter. "I mean, I guess my kicks are a little rusty because my knee makes this creaking sound every time I move it back and forth--I should probably oil it. And my bottle of hair gel is almost empty. But like I said, nothing too big!"

Boxman glared at him, humming in great observation.

"I wouldn't lie, coach," Raymond said, placing a hand on his chest. "I promise."

"I know," Boxman said. "You're not lying. There's just something you're not telling me."

"So what if there is?" Raymond said, shocked at himself for talking back while Boxman was a little thrown off. "I have the right to a few secrets, don't I?"

"Well if it's such a secret, why are you so horrible at keeping them?!" Boxman yelled.

"...What do you mean?" Raymond asked, his tone having gone soft.

Boxman was ready to speak but stopped to think of another way to get his point across. Having done that, he made a little smile and simply said, "Follow me."

Raymond was led to the door, and out of the office. Something was up, he knew. He could've just ran away while Boxman wasn't looking but that would've been a foul move which would only make things worse. No choice but to obey while his dad's temper was under control.

He looked around the factory, seeing more of his brothers and sisters being made out of a machine which assembled them. Raymond's type was there too, of course. He was jolted back into the conversation when Boxman spoke to him again.

"I know everything that goes on in this factory. You can run and you can hide, but I CAN find you. Same goes for whatever's going through that metal plated head of yours."

Raymond was resigned to his position. Dad 1, Raymond 0. He knew about the crush, about Radicles, and all that.

"You should've known better than to open up to the others like that," Boxman said. "You're basically walking, talking, THINKING, computers which transfer everything through wireless means. YOUR problem becomes THEIR problem! Ernestos check all the data within each and every robot, review them, and forward any information to me that would hinder your basic functions."

"Are you saying we'll never be safe inside our minds?" Raymond implied.

"Yes! You actually are free to think as you please," Boxman said. "You, however, just made the fatal mistake of corrupting your fellow Raymonds!"

"Corrupt?"

Not looking where he was going, Raymond bumped into... himself? No, another Raymond which belonged to a line of more Raymonds in front of something red and glowing. It was also getting hotter, he noticed. He recognized these Raymonds from somewhere.

"What are they doing here out of the game room?" Raymond asked.

The line moved and the original Raymond was compelled to follow them.

"When I came down to check on them, I saw that they were all frozen stiff," Boxman informed. "Catatonic, to put it simply. None of them could even catch a ball, much less play with one. It was a pity too as they were scheduled to be shipped to a very devoted client of mine. So imagine his dismay when I said the delivery had to be delayed due to..." Seething with rage, Boxman spat, "Technical difficulties!"

Raymond tried to speak, and said, "Coach, I didn't mean to--"

Boxman did not let him finish. "And it's ALL because of this nonsense infatuation with some... idiot stock boy from the plaza who doesn't even give a hoot whether or not you have feelings for him!"

"That's not true!" Raymond yelled. The line moved again and so did he, not mistakingly.

"Face it! He's too dense to even know that a robot like you can feel the way you do," Boxman said.

"He's just oblivious!" Raymond said, defensively. "There's a difference between that and whatever you're saying."

"Regardless, it is embarrassing to have to deny Professor Venomous that shipment that was gonna be due next week!" Boxman said.

"So that's what this is all about!" Raymond said, a realization setting in. "You're just mad because you missed the touchdown from looking at your boyfriend's eyes while you shoot!"

For his troubles, Lord Boxman slapped him on the side of his face.

"I have had it with your sass, mister! You are gonna show some respect and stay in this line or so help me..."

Somehow, Raymond failed to ask such an important question.

"What is this line for anyw--?"

He had been following the line of Raymonds until there were only four of them left in front of him. He could now see that they were willingly tossing themselves into the incinerator, one by one.

The gears inside his chest were working up like crazy, and his breathing became frantic. How could he have been so blind?

"Stop!" he cried, begging for the Raymond who had just jumped inside of the furnace. "Don't follow him anymore! Turn back!"

"There's no use, Raymond," Boxman said. "It's too late. I have altered their hive mind to answer only to me. These Raymonds are defective and must be disposed of. I can't have word of Box More shipping off defective robots that go stiff every time they're unable to keep their emotions in check to get into the public, could I?"

"Coach, please, I'm sorry!" Raymond begged on his knees, grabbing onto his dad’s leg pant. "I got distracted! I failed you and I failed my team, I admit it! Just stop this!"

Lord Boxman was feeling more annoyed than pitiful.

"Did I remember programming you to be THIS dramatic while I was making you?" he asked himself. "Well, I could always make adjustments but I'd rather you remember this for as long as I decide to keep you activated. Also, you are out of the line. Fill that gap!"

Boxman kicked Raymond away, forcing him to stand in front of the incinerator. The last robot in front of him opened the door. Without hesitation, the 'defective' Raymond climbed inside of it, head first, making its way there little by little until its entire body is reduced to burnt scrap metal.

Raymond wanted to look away, but he found himself looking on in horror as the flames melted its face, singed its hair, and turned the body's green and yellow color scheme into black.

He fell to his knees again, his eyes wide in despair. He sensed a hand being placed upon his shoulder. It was his dad's.

"You are grounded for a month from participating in any mission with your brothers and sisters in attacking the plaza," Boxman said, making Raymond feel more broken. "You are also not allowed to hang out with the other, newly manufactured Raymonds lest you corrupt them again. Now, get in there!"

Boxman pointed into the burning coals before them and Raymond's pupils shrunk into dots as his eyes widened.

"B-but..."

"Yes, you're joining them!" Boxman said, as if answering a question Raymond was about to ask. "Your thoughts will be transferred into a new vessel. There'll be no big loss."

Even with that, it didn't calm Raymond down. Not one bit.

"I... I can't!"

"I'm not gonna let you force my hand, Raymond..."

"No!"

Raymond was about to run away but a Darrell and Shannon grabbed him by the arms. He knew instantly that these robots restraining him were NOT actually his brother and sister. Even they wouldn't stand for this.

"So that's why they're here!" Boxman said all too cheerfully, taking in some sick delight in watching the mostly put together robot squirm in their grasp.

"Let me go!" Raymond cried helplessly. Boxman ignored his pleas.

"Since you have to complicate things instead of doing this with your dignity still intact, then I have no choice!" He then commanded the other robots; "To the fires with this one!"

Raymond's entire body was flung into the furnace's cavity and Lord Boxman locked the doors the moment the heat of the flames started melting the robot's face. His hair was instantly set ablaze and an eye fell out of his socket.

"DADDY LET ME OUT!" he screamed as loud as he could from the fire's crackling. Raymond's panic had been so great, he no longer called for his 'coach'. "PLEASE, DADDY! IT'S BURNING ME!"

"Stop being such a baby about this!" Boxman scolded. "Your big brother Darrell had to undergo the same thing and HE didn't have to stoop to this type of hysterics! You may be my greatest creation yet, but I'm treating you no better than any robot in my factory. I'm doing this to teach you a lesson."

Lord Boxman turned around and added, "I'm doing this to teach you ALL a lesson!"

Ernesto, Darrell and Shannon had seen enough to get what he meant. They had never been so scared for their lives and of their father before. Raymond's screams travelled all over the halls of the factory and it had caught their attention a bit too late. By the time they got there, he was being forced inside of the fuming chamber.

They remain petrified as Lord Boxman walked pass through them without looking and went back to his office as if nothing had happened. Even when the new Raymond who possessed the same thoughts his destroyed body just witnessed was craned into the scene, it did nothing to make all of the things they have just seen less traumatic.

No grand entrance, no flamboyant introductions... Just the sight of Raymond staring into space for what felt like a very long time. Right beside him was the glowing fire in the furnace burning metal, which had just been stripped of anything that resembled feeling or emotion.
