Do you take Animaniacs prompts? How about Scratchy protecting the Warners?
I do indeed! 💕
Tumblr media
Scratchy played an odd role in Animaniacs. Well, no one played a normal role on the "totally insaney" show (not even Plotz), but Scratchy could admit his role was odd.
He was the unofficial caretaker of the Warners. Their P-sychiatrist. Their parental figure. Their favourite target to torment. Their nemesis, the one who broke up their fun. The one who worried about their safety, while literally tearing his hair out as they drove him to the brink of sanity.
Things stayed weird when the cameras stopped rolling. The Warners were the Warners: embodiments of chaos, powerful toons in their own right...But they were also three little kids. At the end of the day, they were alone in the world, no other family to speak of.
Of course Scratchy was going to worry about them.
So, whenever they had a press conference, or a convention or any sort of promotional work, Scratchy made sure he was placed near his three zany patients. Nurse often did the same, Slappy could usually be found hovering nearby; even Pinky and Brain would check in on the kids if Scratchy wasn't there.
But today, Scratchy was here. And he wasn't pleased.
It wasn't unusual for a crowd of reporters to corner the kids, thinking they could milk information from them; maybe get a scandal, learn secrets about the show, or get an idea for when the next season would drop.
No, it wasn't unusual, but it still made Scratchy's blood boil.
He stormed over there and got in between the Warners and the pushy reporters.
"Ahem," he said coldly. "Zey are minors. You cannot interview zem vithout un guardian present."
One man with a rather large microphone didn't look impressed. "They don't have any guardians," he said, sounding impatient.
A warm hand took Scratchy's. He looked down and met Wakko's wide eyes. He looked very small all of a sudden. Behind him, Yakko was shifting anxiously and Dot looked seconds away from screaming and throwing a punch.
"Zat is vhere you vould be wrong," Scratchy snapped, squeezing Wakko's hand. He held his arm out and, looking bemused, Yakko and Dot scooted closer. Once they were close enough, Scratchy wrapped his arm around them, holding them against his side. "I am zheir guardian. Unless you vant to be kicked out, leave my kidses alone."
He didn't give the reporters time to respond: he just guided the kids away, keeping a firm hold on them.
To his surprise, they didn't immediately run off. They didn't tease him or pull out some sort of gag.
"...Did you just call us-?" Yakko started to speak, but didn't finish. He was staring at Scratchy like he'd never seen him before.
Well. Time to bit the bullet, huh?
"Vas I vrong?" Scratchy asked.
"No," Wakko mumbled. He smiled, his tongue lolling from his mouth.
"We knew you loved us, Dadoo!" Dot laughed. Scratchy pretended not to see her eyes water.
"I do," Scratchy said. Now that the moment was calming down, he felt oddly embarrassed.
The Warners didn't laugh or tease, or throw him out a nearby window. Wakko held his hand tighter, Dot beamed at him and Yakko leaned against him, letting Scratchy guide them back to the rest of their cast.
"Yeah, well, we love you too," Yakko said. "Even if you're a pain in the neck."
"At least he has a neck," Dot said. "Unlike poor Plotzy."
Yes, that was more like it.
Scratchy couldn't quite wipe the smile from his face. Even as the interviews began in earnest and the kids began to throw pies around, he was still smiling. Even as he sighed and stood up to try (and fail) to reign them in, he was snickering to himself.
Yes, Scratchy had an odd role to play, but it was a role he'd play with pride.
Perhaps he should add "Dadoo" to his list of qualifications.

Me, a dumb 20-something with absolutely no mental health credentials of any kind: The Warners clearly aren’t “insanely” they are simply children in less than ideal circumstances. Everything these kids do can be explained by either them being kids, them being abused by the studio, them being famous, them being young with godlike powers or some combination of the above. For crying out loud they were trapped in a water tower for 60 years, it’s a wonder they aren’t more chaotic and destructive. In general, they seem to genuinely care about the people around them, until someone does something they see as unfair and then they lash out. If given lots more love and little bit of proper guidance, the problems these kids cause could be greatly diminished, if not handled entirely.
Dr. Scratchansniff, a literal psychiatrist who is (hopefully???) educated and trained in his field and who’s literal job is to help the Warners: I just will never understand these kids! Why in the world would they smash Mr. Plotz’s desk and then call him a “pop-poo head”? I mean they say it’s because he locked them in a water tower for 6 decades but that can’t be right. They are just so unpredictable and irrational! They are driving crazy!!

I love you Dr. Scratchansniff. I love how you and the Warners don't always get along but how you stick up for them more than any other staff member, I love how you show character development across the original series, I love your voice, I love your mannerisms, I hate how underrated you are because you're not a puppy child or a gay mouse, but I love you anyways because you are so silly-

I started a Scratchy-centric fic that takes place just after he started work at WB in the 50s! It'll have everything: Dad Scratchy, lesbian Hello Nurse, a toon union, light angst but with a strong theme of found family and a happy ending. It would mean the world to me if you checked it out!!
