Great Job 😭👍

For those who don’t know: 

Tom Ruegger is the original creator of Animaniacs. He’s the guy you have to thank for the iconic characters Yakko, Wakko, and Dot (for whom the primary inspiration was his own three sons.) Among many others, including the equally popular Pinky and the Brain.  He was also an involved writer/lyricist for the show and played a huge part in coming up with new song & story ideas.

Yet despite all of this, Tom was never asked back for the 2020 reboot. In fact, he wasn’t even aware that a reboot was in production until it was announced to the public. Although Tom has expressed plenty of interest in being involved in the reboot, WB/Hulu has repeatedly turned him away.

Tom’s oldest son, Nate Ruegger (voice of Skippy Squirrel,) has spoken out about this on his twitter: 

“the naked greed on display here to reboot a series without involving any of the original creative team so they can make *more* money, & then joke about it, is gross.” (x)

And he’s absolutely right. Outside of the main voice cast, none of the original team was consulted for the reboot. Tom was/is an integral part of Animaniacs. Without him, the show would never have existed, let alone become a cultural phenomenon. It doesn’t seem right for him to be cut out of the revival of a show that he is largely responsible for bringing to life in the first place.

The mistreatment and blatant disrespect of creators by big-name companies is something I’ve seen way too much of lately, and even though this is far from the first time, that doesn’t make the practice in anyway right or okay.

I’ve seen petitions for this going around, but they rarely gain enough traction, so I’m taking a more direct approach:

I’m asking fans of the series - new & old alike, regardless of your opinion on the reboot itself - to please reblog this. Or, simply spread the hashtag #BringBackTomRuegger somewhere on your social media.

So that we can let the new showrunners know that we, the fans, want to see Tom brought back for future seasons!!!

I’m not asking for a full rewrite, I just want the man who created these characters to have some say in what happens to them, as he should. Please share to show support, if you agree!

Even if it was for one year in fifth grade <3

Extra points for leaving in tags for how many years and if you still do

Hey guys, I thought I’d try to make a list like the one I’ve seen a few times on here. I’ve been really struggling to get the motivation to do some important things and to feel a wave of support behind me would help so much. I’ll even post pictures/proof of some kind that I’m doing the things so that you can feel the wonderful effect of helping someone get on top of their life :) I only seem to get notes on the fics I write, so my expectations are very low, but here goes

10 notes- I’ll start playing the piano again.

25 notes- I’ll finally finish my to-do list (it includes things like clean my hamster babies, update my calendar, buy a test I have to take to graduate college, etc)

50 notes- I’ll pull a late night/all-nighter to get completely caught up in my assignments

75 notes- I’ll thoroughly clean every part of my house.

100 notes- I’ll apply to 30 jobs so that I can make more money and not be so financially stressed.

200 notes- I’ll start writing a poem a day.

300 notes- l’ll finish fixing the links on my main, do maintenance on my other blogs and start three new blogs that I’ve been wanting to start forever but haven’t had the courage to (it involves posting my art that I’m self-conscious about)

500 notes- I’ll redo my formal wardrobe so that i can actually feel like who I am/who I’ve worked so hard to become when I’m dressed up.

750 notes- I’ll finally start my side blog business that terrifies me but is the beginning of the life I always wanted.

1k notes- I’ll start writing the fantasy book series that everyone (professors, friends, family etc) says has a high chance of getting published.

2k notes- I’ll record and post my first podcast episode (also something that excites and terrifies me because it would be the beginning of everything).

3k notes- don’t do this to me but…if I get to 3k I’ll stop doing the two things that are bad/addictive/potentially fatal in my life, tell my s/o about it, and get professional help.

Anything beyond that- I don’t really know, completing these things would be such a life altering experience. I’ll invest serious effort into ensuring I maintain this new life style? I’m not sure, but I’ll definitely do something significant to show my appreciation for that much support :)

Thank you so much for your help, it truly means so much to me.

You have encountered "Here... have a bag of money" Yakko. Reblog for good luck and fortune

If not...

You still get a fat-free yogurt!!!

This is very random and out of nowhere, but I did that Touch Meme thing just for kicks, so why not see what the internet thinks..?

PART 2 (can read alone)

Part 1 v

i am a slut for newt scamander right now

Thranduil x reader

After falling asleep reading the hobbit, you wake up in the arms of Thranduil This is pretty short but it was going round my head. I tried

Thank You @kingy121 for requesting, I wasn't sure if I should do a part 2 but you asked. You can read this on its own but its suggest to read with its counterpart

You wake to soft light and warmth, though you could no longer feel arms around you, you could hear the gentle sound of fingers on fabric.

Forcing your eyes open against the sleep begging to keep them closed, you saw Thranduil. Dressed in his fine robes, and sat at the vanity, dragging a comb through his long milky hair.

His eyes meet yours in the reflection of the mirror. A gorgeous smile graces his face as he looks at you. Gob-smacked you stare at him in awe. He chuckles as you continue to watch him.

He turns to you with that breathtaking smile still plastered on his face. "Good morning my dear, I tried to stay quiet to let you rest". After coming across the room he places a gentle kiss on your forehead.

"Come, lets get you ready meleth nin". He takes your hand in his and pulls you back to the vanity, motioning for you to sit.

Now you had a proper moment to look at yourself. Your hair was its natural hair colour, but it was long, down past your waist, your ears resembling that of an elf, and your features had been sharpened, you still look yourself, just more elvish.

Thranduil tugging his fingers through your hair brought you from your thoughts. It was disorienting being in a world not your own. With a character known for being ruthless smiling down at you with such comfort and care.

You let yourself relax into his touch, you may as well enjoy it while it lasts. Warning bells became background noise as his fingers massaged your head. His face was stoic again, focused on the task at hand. The fondness never left his eyes though, something you took note of.

Starting to braid back your hair now, he tugged at your locks gently, careful not to hurt you. This was a soft side never shown in the books, it was so welcoming and warm. It was almost easy to forget the life you left behind. Almost.

You missed your quiet cottage in the woods, but this domesticity was none existent in that lonely cottage. This was a different warmth than the one of your cottage. This was just as peaceful, but so much more calming, the warmth encased your whole body, filling every nook and cranny. You closed you eyes now, soaking up the homely feeling Thranduil had brought in such a small space of time. This made you understand why everyone seemed to love him. In that moment you decided, while Thranduil kept his eyes focused on your hair, that you never wanted this to end.

You didn't want to go home. Ever.

I hope you enjoyed

PLEASE REBLOG IT HELPS GET MY WRITING SEEN

Ao3 subscriptions are so fucking wild to me. Every time I write my silly fanfictions and post them 124 people get an email just to let them know that this idiot is posting their fanfictions again. I send 124 people an email every time I write smut. Imagine sending 124 physical letters out just to be like “hello everyone, I put some guys we made up in our heads through the horrors again.” Absolutely absurd. I am kissing all of you on the lips.

Tuesday is practically over 😔 Hulu why would you bring me pain

Everybody cross your fingers so that all of these shows will hopefully be back on Hulu sometime in the near future

I'm not sure if the shows will expire as soon as it hits 12 am and is therefore Wednesday or if they'll expire at like 11:59 pm on Wednesday, but either way this sucks 👎👎👎

I'll see how it works soon because it is 11:58 pm right now when I'm posting this so yeah
