Saw your answer to an ask about Mr. Littlepot and Domino 3, and it got me to thinking that when Anne becomes God, she’ll go into cat mode from time to time.

the idea of Cat Goddess Anne was just too silly to not draw

(Demi-Goddess Sasharcy designs aren't final)

Saw the "Libby in Chairman's Robe" piece just now, and I wanna ask, how do you think Molly would look, and feel, in that robe?

Okay okay okay Koskela I’m so sorry but you opened the floodgates here.

I know the intention here was a cute picture of Molly playing dress up but for some reason I saw your ask and my mind exploded with enough red string to choke a conspiracy theorist and I have to get all this out somewhere, so buckle in folks because I’m about to jump to more conclusions than a paranoid frog and it’s going to get long

Molly and the Cloak

We begin with the previous Chairman. An intimidating looking dude, meant to serve as a direct opposite character-creation-wise to the ghosts immediately around him. He’s physically taller, built like an inverted triangle as a contrast to the characters he usually hangs out with

(Scratch is a rectangle don’t @ me)

But there’s one more interesting physical difference he has with every other ghost we’ve been introduced to:

Underneath the cloak, the Chairman is bone. In fact, the bone motif seems to be a large part of his design, since his facial area is shaped loosely like a skull.

Neither of which ghosts have.

And we know it isn’t a style transformation because when Scratch uses the cloak, he’s still the same underneath (no bones about it!)

And since skeletons haven’t been introduced to part of series canon (maybe they’re planning that for season three), we can only deduce that there was once a human under the hood. And it’s not a typical way for a human to exist in the Ghost World, since the default form is obviously ectoplasmic and not skeletal. So what might’ve caused the Chairman to differ so greatly from his peers?

(This is where the red string comes out.)

Before we dive into the next point, let’s take a look at some of the other traits of the Chairman for the purposes of this headcanon/theory/alternate universe/whatever:

He never speaks

He rarely moves, only in stiff, disjointed jerks

He gains power and sustenance from misery

We’ll get to that last one later, but for now let’s focus on the first two. We’ve seen these symptoms in another concept already introduced to us: possession. (Speaking less so than moving, but we do know there's at least a tonal difference.) So if the human that was once the Chairman is dead, why isn’t the ghost under the robe? What happened to it? The thing that makes it tick, the soul, the free will, is gone, leaving only the physical body behind. You could argue, sure, that the human died, the ghost went on to have fun ghosty adventures, and its body was left behind for something else to pick it up (but why bother if everyone’s a ghost anyway?)

Well, the thing that picked it up wasn’t a ghost.

The Chairman is the Cloak possessing a human corpse.

This explains a few things: it doesn’t talk because its got no voice (either meat or spectral), it keeps movement to a minimum to avoid suspicion, the body provides a shape to fill it out (hence why the Chairman has more human proportions), and solidity could also act as a form of armour.

(My theory here on why it had to be a corpse it couldn’t just be a ghost is that, from what we’ve seen, we can assume that ghosts can’t possess other ghosts. Otherwise nothing would get done. It’s likely the Cloak needs a physical vessel because trying to push a spirit out of a body without the body probably won’t work too well.)

But why go through all the rigamarole of possessing a skeleton and instigating yourself as the head of a ghost society? Why the secrecy? Now we get to point three: misery. The Cloak needs to feed off misery, and a bunch of angry, bitter people with lifetimes of grudges is probably a pretty great meal. Access to so much misery ensures its growth and survival. It’s a parasite. One with rudimentary forms of free will too, as we’ve seen the Chairman making decisions of its own accord.

As an intelligent parasite with the potential for an eternity of sustenance at your fingertips, the only smart thing to do would be ensure you kept the misery-generators under your control and were in the position to manipulate your surroundings to prioritize your continued survival (why scaring is mandatory, closely monitored, and punished if insufficient). Thus, the Chairman rises to power.

The deal was probably pretty good until the season finale. With the misery engine that was the Flow of Failed Phantoms gone, and the final hit depleting the last of the misery-born power the Cloak held, it lost control of its vessel, now so old that the bones basically liquified instantly. Weak and desperate to cling to life (as parasites are), it fell dormant as a defense mechanism.

Another thing to consider: in the season two premiere, we’re told that the person who vanquishes the Chairman becomes the next one and inherits the Cloak (makes sense, a position of ultimate power is probably pretty good for the parasite to remain in). We don’t know if its been a ghost before (we don’t know how long the previous body lasted), but the next leader is… Scratch. Someone wholly uninterested in power or misery of any kind, and unable to be controlled since he can’t be possessed.

Not a great day for the Cloak, I bet.

Any other parasite would pack their bags, not a whole lot of surviving happening if the new Chairman decrees scaring isn’t necessary anymore. But the Cloak sits quiet and plays nice. Why? Because of a simple little detail that’s bothered me ever since season two episode one dropped.

Scratch didn’t kill the old Chairman.

Molly did.

Young, human, easily controlled if it can just get close enough, the Cloak won’t bother settling for second best when the grand prize sleeps four feet away from its current host, not when its existence is on the line. Its still weak from the massive blow of joy Molly dealt, but it can feed off background misery and regain strength until Molly asks to play dress up one day, or Scratch leaves it laying around unsupervised, and then it’s an easy job of quashing one tiny soul and regaining power.

Its had an afterlifetime of practice, after all.

I get the feeling at some point (even if it’s not in the Christmas episode) Darcy is gonna figure out Anne’s family could very well be a problem to them and thus plan to get Anne separated from them so she’d have to face Darcy alone.

Frog or earth family?

Well same thing.

Yeah Darcy will try to isolate Anne and/or Sasha to take care of them.

If personally or through other means we will have to see.

I won't lie; for a very short while I thought Conan O'Brien was the PAL Max Prime, the sleek black robot that called back to Into The Spider-Verse in how it moved, which would've been a hilarious Playing Against Type role for him. But no, that was Blake Griffin.

Uhm so not sure if this is a continuation of my previous convo with anon, but who we’re (or me at least) are trying to identify in the movie is griffin mcelroy, not blake griffin. If I knew there were two griffins on the cast I would’ve worded things better lmao. I think Conan’s casting as the harbinger of doom slash flight attendant was absolutely genius, his delivery was soo good. PAL Max Primes were also very funny when scared shitless of maya rudolph, so props to the blake fellow

How would you see Penny as an artist? Honestly, I could see her taking up drawing and painting to make herself more capable of helping protect ChalkZone, in addition to doing so while studying the flora and fauna of the world when she's older.

I could see Penny taking up art given how often she visits ChalkZone! I’ve noticed many cartoons like to put characters in boxes like “well this character’s smart and scientific so there’s no way they could do something outside that like art” and I’ve never understood it since art & science go hand & hand pretty often.

I’ve learned some interesting things about art & art history while in college. I could see Penny going 👀 when she learns about the golden ratio (look it up! it’s really neat how so many naturally occurring flora & fauna abide by this ratio!) but also sadly. really self-critical about her work.

now im just imagining Penny reminding Rudy that he should use references when drawing and Rudy basically going “what should i bring pictures into chalkzone?? take time making things ‘realistic’ when something happens?” hdgshs

Who do you think would share Penny’s love for bugs more, Rudy or Snap?

probably Snap! he kind of has a thing for ugly-cute animals, like the eyeball bush or his pet wiggie, not to mention how much he loves the accordion worm. He might have a slight fear of spiders due to his experience with the bubblegum spider, tho...

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a good thing would you say Scratch being the supernatural entity Molly's best friends with and not Bill Cipher is?

1000, for the sole reason that Molly is prime manipulation material. Especially at the start of the series, she's alone and searching for connection and believes the best of everyone and Bill, for the most part, is a good actor. He fooled a mature adult for 30 odd years. If it was Bill instead of Scratch, The Chaos Demon and Molly McGee would be a horror show instead of a family one.

Can you share pics of El Tigre being an adorable kitty?

By "adorable kitty", I was trying to find shots where he acts cat-like, but there's really not a lot. Best I could get was how expressive his ears are on his mask. Wish we had gotten more of Manny acting like a cat in his El Tigre guise lol Imagine the antics!
