The Warner Siblings and The Powerpuff Girls are more similar than you think
Both groups of siblings:
Are a "Beauty, Brains, and Brawn" trio
(Simply put, Dot and Bubbles are both "the cute one")
(Blossom is studious, well organised, and often uses her brain to save the day; Yakko is a "smarty-pants", often outsmarts foes (and sometimes his sibs), and is very knowledgeable about academics-particularly geography and history)
(Buttercup is "the toughest fighter" and Wakko is the most destructive Warner and the most likely to use a mallet)
Are artificial beings who were created on the same day, not as babies but as children
Have a scientist as a guardian
Had a different scientist mass produce deformed clones of them, who eventually rebelled against him
Are insanely powerful to the point of being almost indestructible
(the PPG have superpowers due to Chemical X, and the Warners have Toon Physics/Force)
Became outcasts because of said abilities
Have comic-exclusive evil counterparts
Have fought the devil
...and have anime counterparts
In conclusion...um...Animaniacs good. Powerpuff Girls good. Watch them.
Okay! I finished the last secret Santa event (featuring warners) while I was on my trip with my family, this took a lot of effort Holy Moly ;0; but it was worth it!! <33 I think this was based off that one IM chapter with the Bbros and the warners (I love the way i drew bendy's face XD)
Overall, i am so proud with this piece! Especially with the background and poses, I feel like I keep improving everyday ^w^ (i love warners sm, and I wanna watch that show again if I ever got the chance 🥹🩷💙🧡)
Also, I have other secret Santa from different events
One from instagram!
And the other one is from streamline workshop server!
I enjoyed making each of these pieces and it was fun experimenting with colors/lighting and poses <333 (⌒▽⌒)☆
Some dumb thingz I made outta crayonz and skool pencilz.
Also btw been rewatching the Christmas Animaniacz stuff for what 10 billion timez now and please watching a patb Christmas IS a Christmas tradition of mine, [and sometimes watching Wakko’s wish but not every year] I have my own pool of tearz every year.
Alright, so if you’re a fan of the Animaniacs here on Tumblr, you probably understand that all three of the Warner’s are most likely neurodivergent, and Dr. Scratchansniff trying to “cure” them of their “zanyness” is an example of abelism (as well as the rest of the humans who want to lock them up.)
BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
I think Dr. Scratchansniff himself may be autistic, and here’s why:
First of all, he is a psychiatrist who has been with the Warner’s for sometime and doesn’t seem to realize the Warner’s are neurodivergent (most likely ADHD and autism in all three of them.)
He gets overwhelmed by the Warners when they throw off his plans and his schedule.
Those on the autism spectrum tend to prefer following a set schedule and doing this according to a plan. When this plan is interrupted we get upset. For Scratchy this may be when the Warners are being to hyperactive and hyperimaginative for them to even want to answer his questions. I get that the joke is supposed to be that he’s a psychiatrist driven insane by the Warners but for me the best way to describe feeling overstimulated is “being driven insane by everything around me”
He also tends to get overstimulated, particularly in “I’M MAD!” when the Warners are bickering in the car while he’s trying to drive. Of course most people struggle to drive with tons of background noise. This just sticks out to me, even though it isn’t the first time.
Also, special interests. Scratchy definitely has special interests that he seems to get lost in. Psychiatry is a special interest of his, obviously. Once he starts having appointments with the Warners everyday, we get to see that the Warners are consistently on his mind (just like how they are always on my mind because special interest yes). Part of this may be because he gradually took on a more parental role towards them, but this could also be because he began to develop a special interest in caring for them. Perhaps his own neurodivergence is the reason he was able to eventually sympathize and care for the Warners.
If you read the Animanicas comics, there is an issue, were we see Scratchy reading a comic in his spare time. This is particularly interesting because not only are those on the spectrum more prone to develop and interest in comics, but when he begins to talk about comics to the Warner’s he knows the entire history of comics down to a tee. He begins to infodump onto the Warners and doesn’t realize when they are annoyed or bored because for some reason they find the history of comics boring. Scratch that, HE BECOMES SO ABSORBED IN IT, HE DOESN’T REALIZE WHEN THE WARNERS LEAVE.
Wrestling is probably a special interest of his too, as well as psychology of course.
Also, like I mentioned earlier, he obvious struggles with anxiety, a mental disorder those on the autism spectrum are more likely to develop due to social and communciation issues and the after effects of overstimulation. This can be observed in his body language and how he reacts to Plotz as well, causing him to become a pushover to his boss.
He also age regresses when he is overly stressed out and even has a comfort object (something that I’ve personally observed in others on the autism spectrum and have experienced myself to a certain degree, I’m still not sure if it’s always autism related though)
In the reboot it’s revealed he waited 20 years just to prank the Warners. The prank seems to have become a special interest and they should have done more with Reboot Scratchy.
Going back and watching episodes with Scratchy with this in mind, his behaviors and general attitude towards the Warners makes a TON of sense. He’s annoyed by them but ultimately wants to get along with them.
To me it makes Dad! Scatchansniff even more wholesome. It’ll never happen but one day I’d love to see an episode where he just accepts the Warners for who they are and perhaps, in the process, accepting himself a little more.
Winter Warner Land - The Warners take a job at the North Pole and drive Santa's elves crazy.
The Road to Bohemia - Apparently this one is basically Wakko's Wish's prototype? Or at least various ideas they had for it were used in Wakko's Wish.
Wandering Warners We - Three troubadours named Yakko, Wakko and Dot are sent on a mission by the King to track down his heir, the princess, in order to save their kingdom. This movie would've introduced the fourth Warner sibling: Lakko Warner. Lakko would've been so untalented that before the middle of the movie he would've been fired from the production by his siblings.
Little Orphan Warners - It's an Oliver Twist parody. That's it. Think "Wakkiver Twist" but longer.
Hooray for Hollywood - This was basically re-worked into "Hooray for North Hollywood", so it was probably gonna be about the Warners trying to make a movie. Presumably this original version would have been better, ahem, longer (*cough*HfNH sucks*cough*).
Revolutionary Warners - The Warners play an instrumental role (literally) in the American Revolution.
This Means Warners - Apparently this was gonna be a World War II movie starring the Warners.
I drew the warners for the 30th anniversary 🥺💕💕💕💟💟 this is my first attempt drawing them so it probably didn't look great- but it was worth the shot!! :D I like how it turned out <33
