GUYS
Remember how Ashley Johnson was in Recess as a kid? And they made a feature-length movie?
Remember THIS scene?!
youtube
That makes Critical Role Campaign 3 the SECOND time Ashley Johnson has had to deal with a bad guy who wanted to mess with a moon during a major astrological event!
Tumblr media
The parallels are actually uncanny:
Both villains:
Are petty, vengeful, and power-hungry,
Plan to get rid of something sacred (the gods vs. summer vacation)
Have beef with an authority figure the heroes are familiar with (Raven Queen vs Principal Prickly)
Are leaders of a secret conspiracy that is years in the making, one with potentially devastating consequences for the world beyond the scope of the plan (moving the moon during lunar perigee has the potential to not just get rid of summer vacation, but full-on send the world into another ice age).
Matt. Be honest. Was this whole Ruidius plan secretly inspired by Recess???

How I Think Certain DuckTales (2017) Characters Might Interact With Certain Recess Characters
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok. Here I’ll be going over how I think certain DuckTales (2017) characters might interact with certain Recess characters. It occurred to me that some of these have quite a bit in common but are also a bit different. Also, Spoiler Alert for the DuckTales (2017) TV series, the Recess TV series and the Recess: School’s Out movie. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that TJ Detweiler might get along just fine with Goldie and Louie. After all, as shown in the episode ‘Economics Of Recess’, TJ is pretty smart and is willing to use his wits to make money just like how, as shown in the episode ‘Happy Birthday Doofus Drake!’, Goldie and Louie were willing to outsmart their competition to make money. And @boingodigitalart called Goldie and Louie as well as Gosalyn the Scheme Team in his fanart posts. So, given what I said, TJ would be welcomed as a member of the Scheme Team. However, Goldie, Louie and TJ might have an interesting conversation when it comes to the concept of a childhood. After all, Goldie, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Lagoon Of White Agony Plains!’ is more than a century old which means that she left her childhood a very, very long time ago and is probably pretty cynical about it whereas TJ, as shown in the Recess: School’s Out movie, strongly believes in making the most of your childhood and having fun before you eventually have to grow up while, as shown in the episode ‘Day Of The Only Child!’, Louie wanted to be a rich kid rather than just another kid but, at the same time, wanted to have fun just like any other kid which all probably means that he might try to be the voice of reason between Goldie and TJ. So, they might disagree a bit on a few things but might eventually come to an understanding. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Substitute’, TJ hated authority figures and really hated Mr. E for his strictness and no-nonsense attitude but they eventually grew to respect each other. So, if TJ was able to come to an understanding with an authority figure which is the type of person he usually hates the most, he’ll certainly be able to come to an understanding with another troublemaker which would probably be the type of person he loves the most.

How I think Webby and Lena might interact with Spinelli and Gus pretty much comes down to Spinelli’s and Gus’ history with fighting for Webby and how Spinelli and Gus handle their emotions for Lena. Webby, as shown in the episode ‘Escape From The ImpossiBin!’, loves fighting and was trained to be a great fighter by her grandma Beakley. Spinelli, as shown in the episode ‘First Name Ashley’, is very aggressive and loves to fight. And Gus, as shown in the episode ‘Gus’ Last Stand’, learned to stand up to a bully thus inspiring a whole playground of kids to stand up to him as well which Webby might like to hear about given that, as shown in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, she can be quite optimistic and inspirational. So, given all that, Webby might like to spar with Spinelli and Gus and give them some training. Spinelli, given what I said about how she loves fighting, would probably be very enthusiastic about the training, especially after finding out that Beakley, the woman who trained Webby, was, as also shown in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, a secret agent. After all, it’s not every day you get to be trained by someone who received training from a secret agent. As for Gus, he would probably take to the training too considering that, as shown in the episode ‘The Substitute’, he accepted some martial arts training from Mr. E and, as shown in the episode ‘Gus’ Last Stand’, he seemed to look up to his dad who is a U.S. Army Officer. On that note, I noticed that Webby, Spinelli and Gus were all raised by people who were involved with the military in some way. Webby was raised by her grandma Beakley who, as shown in the episode ‘From The Confidential Casefiles Of Agent 22!’, was a secret agent who worked for SHUSH. Spinelli was raised by her parents who, as shown in the episode ‘Parents’ Night’, were government agents. And Gus was partly raised by his dad who, as I already pointed out, was a U.S. Army Officer. As for how I think Lena might interact with Spinelli and Gus, I think that Lena would respect Spinelli and Gus quite a bit. Lena might respect Spinelli because, as I pointed out earlier, Spinelli is quite aggressive and Lena is quite aggressive too as shown in the episode ‘The Split Sword Of Swanstantine!’, where Lena wanted to smash a tile containing a piece of the Sword Of Swanstantine with a hammer in order to get the piece. So, both Lena and Spinelli are fully willing to embrace their aggression and anger to get the job done. Also, despite their aggressive sides, Lena and Spinelli both have their artistic sides too. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Shadow War Part 2: The Day Of The Ducks!’, Lena wrote a poem explaining how she came into existence and, as shown in the episode ‘Spinelli’s Masterpiece’, Spinelli made a gigantic drawing of the school and its playground. And Lena and Spinelli both learned a thing or 2 about accepting emotions given that, as also shown in the episode ‘The Split Sword Of Swanstantine!’, Lena coached Huey to accept his anger and, as shown in the episode ‘That Stinking Feeling’, Spinelli learned to accept her feelings for Johnny V which allowed her to then overcome them. So, Lena and Spinelli have quite a few similarities which means that they both might respect each other. As for Gus, Lena might respect him too since he, as I already pointed out earlier, stood up to a bully which then inspired the whole playground to stand up to him too. After all, that might remind Lena of how she, as shown in the episode ‘The Shadow War Part 2: The Day Of The Ducks!’, stood up to her aunt Magica De Spell. So, they both overcame their fear to stand up to someone.

As shown in the Recess: School’s Out movie, Gretchen is pretty smart and loves science. And, as shown in the episode ‘The Most Dangerous Game…Night!’, Gyro is a very smart scientist who was able to make a shrink ray. So, Gretchen might want to learn from Gyro. However, as shown in the episode ‘The Great Dime Chase!’, Gyro can be quite arrogant to an extreme fault and is quite cynical. So, that might make working with Gyro a bit difficult for Gretchen. But Gretchen has had experience with very cynical people she wanted to learn from before as shown in the episode ‘Gretchen And The Secret Of Yo’ where she was able to learn from and get through to a yo-yo expert named Tommy Tate and even pretty much became friends with him despite him brushing her off at first. Plus, as shown in the episode ‘Astro B.O.Y.D.’, Gyro seemed to be optimistic back in the day and also learned to treat BOYD like a real boy and even grew to respect Fenton. So, Gretchen might be able to get through to Gyro and learn from him. As for what Gretchen might think of Gyro’s relationship with BOYD, I think that she might be rather perplexed by it at first before then coming around and accepting it and the fact that BOYD is just like any real boy. After all, as shown throughout the Recess franchise, Gretchen never encountered a fully sentient AI before and, as shown in the episode ‘The Last Adventure! Part 2: The Lost Library Of Isabella Finch!’, Gyro developed a father-son relationship with BOYD as well as Lil Bulb, another fully sentient AI. So, Gretchen might have a difficult time wrapping her head around it. But I think Gretchen might come around and accept it and the fact that BOYD is just like any real boy after observing how BOYD feels emotion and reacts to situations in a similar way to how a real boy would. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Experiment’, Gretchen makes conclusions based on observation just like pretty much any scientist. Also, this all might get Gretchen intrigued by BOYD and his sentience to the point that she might be curious to see if the AI in her handheld computer, Galileo, can be made fully sentient or not. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Experiment’, Gretchen can be quite curious and inquisitive and, as shown in the episode ‘The Girl Was Trouble’, Gretchen went through a lot of trouble to try to get Galileo back. So, that might mean that Gretchen might be curious about if Galileo were to be fully sentient.

As shown in the episode ‘The Principals Of Golf’, Vince really likes playing sports. And, as shown in the episode ‘The Golden Spear!’, both Della and her son Dewey really like going on adventures. And, since playing sports and going on adventures both involve great athletic abilities, I think that Vince might get along just fine with Della and Dewey given that they all spend quite a bit of their time putting their athletic abilities to the test. Also, I think that Della and Dewey would both like to talk about sports with Vince albeit for different reasons. As shown in the episode ‘Raiders Of The Doomsday Vault!’, Della is a seeker of thrills who likes to face off against danger. So, Della might enjoy playing sports that might really get her adrenaline pumping like boxing for example. As for Dewey, he might want to ask Vince to show off his sports skills on his Dewey Dew-Night show. And, as shown in the Dewey Dew-Night! shorts, Dewey wants his Dewey Dew-Night show to become popular. And I think that Vince might say yes since he, as shown in the episode ‘The Principals Of Golf’, helped Principal Prickly beat his brother Paul and Paul’s teammate Foster in a game of golf. Also, I think that Dewey and Vince would really enjoy hanging out with each other given that they both can be pretty eccentric. As shown in the episode ‘The Duck Knight Returns!’, Dewey is really passionate about the Rule Of Cool. And, as shown in the episode ‘The Barnaby Boys’, Vince was really passionate about a mystery book. And I think that Della might enjoy seeing her son Dewey hang out with Vince. After all, as shown in the episode ‘Nothing Can Stop Della Duck!’, Della cares about her sons and really loves them. So, Della might enjoy seeing her son have a new friend. And I also think that Della might want to join in too. Also, I think that Della would like to do some stunts as well as play sports with Vince on her son’s Dewey Dew-Night show to help Vince make Dewey’s show more popular. After all, as shown in the episode ‘The Richest Duck In The World!’, Della let Dewey interview her on his Dewey Dew-Night show.
Well, that’s all for this post.
See you all next time.

“ 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐮𝐦𝐛 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫. “
.҉ Gretchen Grundler, the girl known for her intelligence, braces, and thick glasses during her time at Third Street School, has undergone a surprising transformation. In her mid-twenties now, Gretchen has evolved in ways no one could have anticipated.
Gone are the braces and thick glasses that once defined her appearance. Instead, Gretchen has embraced a new sense of style, confidently navigating the world of fashion. She has discovered the power of makeup and often reaches for her favorite shade of red lipstick, enhancing her natural beauty. At first glance, one might struggle to recognize the person she has become.
However, despite her physical transformation, Gretchen's inner qualities have remained unchanged. She remains the same kind-hearted and honest girl who readily solves her friends' problems. Her sharp intellect and quick wit continue to shine through, as she effortlessly engages in smart and thoughtful conversations.
While some may have expected Gretchen to remain unchanged, she has proven that personal growth and self-discovery are natural parts of life's journey. Her transformation serves as a reminder that appearances can evolve, but the essence of who we are at our core remains steadfast.

I absolutely love this ongoing Recess fanfiction by @dracoisalooker76 so I figured I’d draw a poster/cover for it.

Gretchen Grundler for the character ask
Favorite thing about them: Her scientific and academic genius is always fun to watch, both because its sheer scope is funny (no real nine-year-old could ever be that much of a prodigy) and because it always comes in handy. T.J. would probably be lost without her, since her analytical skills ensure that his lavish plans work in the real world. Yet she's never snobby about her intelligence, but is one of the warmest, kindest characters in the series.
Least favorite thing about them: Probably her role in "Pharaoh Bob," when she gets too absorbed in her role as master builder of Bob's pyramid and takes part in oppressing the other kids. But she's far from the only kid in this show to be temporarily corrupted by power, and she snaps out of it just in time at the episode's climax.
Three things I have in common with them:
*I got good grades in school.
*I'm not athletic – and unlike her, I'm not even good with yo-yos.
*I'm normally mild mannered, but when I'm provoked enough (as she was in "The Girl Was Trouble," for example), I can go berserk.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I'm not nearly as smart as she is.
*I've never had more than a moderate interest in science.
*I'm not tall or skinny.
Favorite line:
Her advice to the Library Kid:
"Perhaps you can learn to enjoy recess without going nuts, and likewise learn how to utilize the library without moving in. You know, like the ancient Greeks said: "all things in moderation"... Look, I love books too. But there's more to life than just reading, just like there's more to life than just recess. The secret is not too much or too little of either."
brOTP: T.J., Spinelli, Vince, Mikey, and Gus.
OTP: None until she's older; when the time is right, maybe Vince, maybe one of the Pale Kids, or maybe someone she hasn't met yet.
nOTP: Jeffrey from "The Pest."
Random headcanon: When she grows up she will become a famous scientist who helps the world in many ways, but she'll never succeed in cloning herself.
Unpopular opinion: I don't see all the alleged "Ship Tease" between her and Vince that both the Recess and Disney Wikis and TV Tropes claim is in the show. They're good friends and I'm all in favor of shipping them, but I don't see any particular evidence that they have crushes on each other. Could someone please provide a list of all the supposed hints, like the list on Recess Wiki of the show's many T.J./Spinelli moments? What am I overlooking?
Song I associate with them:
The theme song, for want to anything unique to her.
