After 10 years of craving it, I now present to you... the triple pickle cream pie!

I haven't thought about it for a long time, but then I learned recently that a (terrible) recipe for a pickle cheesecake exists, and I was reminded of the pie in WOY that looked impossibly good to me, and thought if I could make an actually good pickle pie. Two weeks ago I finally got started, and now here we are.

I found a recipe for cucumber-lime pie and mixed it with cream pie instructions. I made it "triple" by putting pickle in the filling (plain cucumber), pickle in the cream (sour-- not salty-- pickle juice and a TON more sugar mixed in), and pickles on the side (Japanese sour ones just as removable garnish). Then I used a graham-cracker pie crust because looking at the pies in the show for some reason always made me nostalgic for those Hershey's sundae pies you could get in slices at certain restaurants-- and they both work better once frozen. I also made the wave pattern with a rubber spatula. I had two different people try it and they said it was honestly not bad! (I thought it tasted pretty alright.) Anyway, it's not perfect, but I'm sure you can all try and experiment with it yourself if you're ambitious and hungry for it enough, haha.

Sorry for the varying lighting on the pictures, the kitchen lights bleached the irl colors on-camera and I had to retouch most of them, hence the mild saturation.

I’ve been binge watching Wander Over Yonder. It’s been years since I last watched it. One of my favorite things about the show is the character progression of Commander Peepers. I loved his evolution from the show’s Butt Monkey, to being one of the most competent characters in Season 2.

I’m halfway through Season 1 and am realizing his progression actually started at this point. From “The Brainstorm” onwards he becomes more frustrated and confident around Lord Hater, and they start having moments of friendship. It hasn’t yet gotten to the point of Peepers showing fury towards Hater, but it’s definitely a far cry from early-S1 Peepers fearing Hater.

All thanks to the orange star nomad 😂

. girls who hold forbidden dark powers. girls who are distressed girl who are cringe.. look up those words n youll see her... Shower Curtain Wizard

and shes like sooooooooo weird..... i lvoe her ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

(reblogs help my posts be seen :) (more lore in readmore but its messy lol)

shes like one of the migrating jellyfish in woy but gained sentience somehow and went to magic school to learn magic. but then she learned too much magic and accidently fused her body with WATER MANIPULATION POWERS🌊🌊🌊 that gave her new arms and eyes. The bowl on her head helps her contain it

She's ranking below the Top 50 of the villain leaderboards but that doesn't mean she isn't dangerous. She just doesn't do the conquering planets often

shes actually like. normal

shes so boring and normal and thats why ppl think shes weird

i ehmmmm i wanna write more lore abt her and emperor awesome

her lore is kinda unfinished but the main idea of it is what i said above abt her gaining sentience and absorbing magic into herself ^^

i like to think that before she went to magic school she and emperor awesome used to be.... BEST FRIENDS!!!!

i like to think she and emperor awesome used to be GEEKS they used to be NERDS and emperor awesome wore braces

they were like Those Two Guys in school everyone hated them but they didnt care lol

also shes trans so she used to be a boy. i think she may have transitioned after entering magic school becuz until now Emperor Awesome only remembered her when he was in his brace-face phase and basically never contacted her after that cuz they interests change and they felt like they didnt know eahc other anymore :(

. also shes trans becuz ehmm yipepeee lalallalaa whooooo!!! ^_^

after she left for magic school they basically never met eachother again until now in what id imagine to be season 3

shes basically like omg hi friend its so good to see you again :)))) and hes like OH FUCK MY LAME PAST. and i think that like he finds it weird at first. not because shes a girl now, but because she still acts the same as she did when they were best friends and that also means shes still the weird kind of kid hes grown to be ashamed of now.

so while shes one of the rare amount of girls that emperor awesome actually treats normally he tries to keep it low profile with how he used to be lame like her while shower curtain wizard is just confused about why emperor awesome acts so distant to her... sad :(

character development is probably needed here for them to repair their friendship and become buddies again yay :)))) wander would be of help here

OH ALSO

she does not live in the galaxy that woy season 1-2 takes place in. its like. just a galaxy next to it

most of my ocs live in that galaxy and were probabily next on lord dominators to-destroy-list if wander and co didnt stop her

She is however on the Star Force Enforcement Force's To-Stop list because even if she hasnt reached her full potentional, her ability to manipulate ALL kinds of water (Orble juice, orange juice, planet water and so on (but not veins)) make her note-worthy threat to their self-righteous quest to deliver justice

i prommy ill write abt it in a text post another time i think ive gone on long enough

#Woy #wander over yonder #woy ocs #berenmon art #my art #shower curtain wizard #emperor awesome #Also yes i put the bi flag as his armbands cuz we love a dumbass frat bro bisexual in cartoons slay queen no one wants u #anyways i hope ppl like my silly girl :))))))))) she has very little accomplishments but she means sooo much to me look at her going silly #reblogs over likes #my ocs #original character #woy oc #emperor awesome woy #woy emperor awesome #woy fanart #woy villain leaderboard

WoY: A Decade Later (A personal retrospection)

Wander Over Yonder… for a time, it was - in my opinion - the best cartoon ever. It was my number one, and I wasn't sure that anything else could top it. While I don't necessarily feel the same way these days, it's still a cartoon that very much lives in my heart and I don't think I'll ever truly leave it behind.

From a personal perspective, it was probably the biggest and most active Fandom I had been in at that time. It wasn't my first fandom/hyperfixation - prior to WoY, there had been Cartoon Network's Chowder and Regular Show, as well as Disney's Phineas and Ferb. But Chowder was short-lived and RS and PnF were both shows I had lost interest in due to them beginning to dip in quality.

WoY, however, was new, fresh, exciting and growing rapidly. It inspired me to write probably at least a hundred fanfics. It was a blast live-reacting to new episodes with everyone and seeing all the art that would come afterwards. It brought me into the RP scene and, if not for that, I might have never met my best friend of 10 years (and counting! Love you, Tessa).

Looking back on it 10 years after the fact, I can't fully say that WoY is still my favorite cartoon (shows like Kid Cosmic, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Big City Greens and Craig of the Creek have all outshined it in one way or another), nor can I claim that it is/was a perfect show. But man… It sure was a hell of a ride.

(Keep reading for all my admittedly VERY LONG personal thoughts or opinions regarding this one of a kind show)

Humble Beginnings

Pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but I actually didn't care for WoY at first. It was the summer right before college, and I remember watching the sneak peek - The Picnic - early one morning after not being able to go back to sleep. I remember not really laughing much or even seeing the appeal… and yet the episode stuck in my mind, to the point that I ended up watching it again during a free moment I had from Freshman Orientation Week. I had a similar reaction to the show's proper pilot, The Greatest - not loving it, but not hating it either.

The fact that people/friends from my RS and PnF days were also posting about it helped keep the show in my mind (shoutout to Taylor, Erin and Darkwing). But it wasn't until two specific episodes - The Fugitives and The Good Deed - that I managed to finally start to connect with the characters myself.

I started to see the appeal in this little furry orange spoon who just wanted to do good and make others happy, even when it was a struggle. I really liked the show's core theme of not just optimism and positivity, but also just being kind. I also started to really enjoy the show's sci-fi and space aesthetic and grew to adore its animation and gorgeous backgrounds, as well as laugh at its wacky sense of humor (I still laugh at The Fugitives/Good Deed quite a bit, even though I probably have their entire scripts memorized at this point).

So, it was official. I was hooked. Whenever there were new eps, I'd either try to watch them on the basement TV in my college dorm or wait for a livestream or FreeCartoonsOnline upload. If we're being honest, the first half of season 1, while being much more low-key than the wackiness that the show would end up eventually shifting to, was probably when it was at its most consistent. Other eps later on would reach higher highs, but getting stuff like The Bad Guy, the Prisoner, the Troll, the Pet, the Box and The Little Guy back-to-back just made my love for the show grow more and more.

The Little Guy specifically is one that is just incredibly well-crafted in its dialogue, story-telling and pacing, being both enjoyable and heartfelt. (Also the last time I watched it the ending made me bawl so, there's that, lol). Shortly afterwards, The Hero was another ep that I distinctly remember sticking in my head for whatever reason (Dracor and Demurra are still adorable, ngl). Then we had another favorite of mine, The Nice Guy.

I know I may be in the minority on this one - I remember my parents being annoyed and frustrated when they watched it with me, haha - but I absolutely love this episode. I find the jokes funny enough - the cashier is one of my favorite minor characters tbh - and the space gas station appeals to my aesthetic. But what really sells this episode for me is how it handles and portrays its moral of "being nice isn't always easy, but it's still right and still worth doing". Its ending never fails to get an "awwww" out of me, and honestly I could probably go on for an hour about all the little details and things I like/appreciate. I've also grown to really like its sister episode, the Time Bomb.

But no show is perfect, and right around here is where the show, in my opinion, started having some misses. It was mostly just "meh" affairs like The Night, The Toddler and The Big Job (weird, since I usually like heist eps… though I haven't rewatched this one in a while so *shrugs*). Other eps like The Tourist and ESPECIALLY The Helper (which I consider to be the show's worst outing, the vibes are just SO WEIRD on this one) I just didn't care for at all.

Nothing terrible (save for the Helper), just cases of the jokes not landing or the stories being boring. This was also when the show really started leaning into the wackiness - which wasn't BAD persay, since it led to some really funny jokes and memorable moments when it was used well - it's just that looking back, I sorta miss the simplicity of early s1.

Thankfully, the season put out some real bangers by its end, with my personal faves being The Epic Quest (that ending will never not make me cackle. Again, it's a case of the wackiness actually working incredibly well), the Halloween/Christmas special, and the Rider, which is a great adventure to cap off the season and also the Horse from Horsin’ Around guest stars in it! (and does a pretty good job too. Will Arnett is def one of my favorite celeb VAs at this point, ngl)

So yeah, between the two seasons, s1 is easily my favorite. Call it nostalgia or personal taste, but for me it's all about that consistency. Adding in the fact that s2 has some pretty notable flaws and is thus a lot harder to look back on without noticing those flaws, and it's really no contest for me.

New season, New problems

I certainly remember the excitement - as well as the fandom's stir craziness - in the lead-up to s2. There were crackships that were invented, silly RP blogs were rampant, Craig McCracken and crew (back when they were still on Tumblr) kept us fed with cool behind the scenes info as well as sneak peeks of the new season, and while I can't recall when it specifically happened, I also vividly remember the 'Bad End to Episodes' phase that the fandom was in at one point. Ah, the joys of still being in your angst phase.

Come that year's Comic Con, and a new round of hype came from the reveal that our new villain of the season was going to be a girl! …yeahhh, it sorta sucks recalling how hyped we all were about Dominator now that we know that she didn't quite work out the way we were all hoping for…

But regardless, s2 had a very strong start. Outside of the premiere, my favorites of this first batch would easily be The Boy Wander and The It for both just being incredibly funny. Although, if you had asked me at the time though, I probably would have said the Skeleton Dance fueled eps that were The Big Day and the Fremergency Fronfract - and like, yeah those eps can still be funny and enjoyable, but I've definitely cooled on the Skeleton Dance ship since these eps first premiered. (Still love a lot of the cute fanon stuff though)

Skipping past the next tent-pole episode for right now, this season had two of my favorite episodes of the ENTIRE SERIES - these being The Cartoon and The Black Cube. The former is just hilarious while the latter has a unique visual presentation and feels like an early s1 ep, and I mean that in the best possible way. I also really enjoy the Eye on the Skullship as well as the Hole… 'Lotta Nuthin' (this one especially, as it's another instance where, for as good as the ep is as a whole, it's the heartwarming lesson and hilarious ending that makes it such a winner in my book).

But for as much as the show was still putting out hits, I'll admit that there were also quite a few meh or just okay eps, especially as the season goes on. Some eps I found funny when I first watched them, but that humor doesn't hit as well when I watch them now. I also feel like there were points where it tried to be TOO silly to the point where it inhibited the actual humor and made the characters flatter and a bit flanderized compared to how they were in s1 (Hater especially got hit bad with this, where it’s less about him ‘softening up’ to show that he has the potential to be a good guy, and more just him constantly leaning into him being a bratty teenager instead of having that mix of dumb/bratty teen boy and legit evil conqueror).

Other times, it was just another case of a story not being as good as it could have been - and by this point in the season, while there are still enjoyable eps with fun concepts/jokes in the latter half of the series, the only one to get near the peak of the show's typical high quality is the musical ep, and if we're being real, it's Andy Bean's impeccable songwriting that saves this ep and makes it so good to rewatch despite its connection to the season's flawed overall story.

And I think it's about time we talk about that…

Not Quite Ready for Serialization

Being a show that was made right after Gravity Falls but before stuff like Star VS, Amphibia, and Owl House, s2 of WoY felt like a show with one foot stuck in episodic stuff and one foot trying to step into serialization. Because of this, the season’s overarching plot feels incredibly underbaked.

Now… Am I saying that I’d want the show to be like ATLA where every episode had to relate back to either the overarching story or one of the side-arcs? No, absolutely not. We’d be missing out on some of my favorite one-shot episodes if they did that, and if I had to choose between the season we have now and the season we could have gotten had the WoY crew gotten more freedom and were allowed more serialization, I’m going with the former each and every time.

HOWEVER, I still have to acknowledge just how poorly done the structure of this season was when it came to the overarching story. Basically we got four tentpole episodes acting as the season’s beginning, arc shifts and ending. During the season’s second and third arcs, there would be certain episodes afterwards reacting to the change in the show’s status quo.

Now, I get what they were TRYING to do but in my opinion it just really didn’t work as well as it could have. I’ll talk more about this in a bit but the season’s second arc (the “romance” arc) definitely got tiring after a while, meanwhile the third “Stop Dominator” arc felt like it was sort of killing time given that it was mostly just the main 4 trying to find some sort of weapon/figure out some sort of plan that ultimately resulted in some ‘funny’ failures and some quick lessons, with the occasional character piece thrown in here or there.

Now, I didn’t hate these episodes. By this point, it should be evident that one of my favorite elements of WoY are its morals and lessons, so even if the episodes themselves didn’t amount to much in the grand scheme of things and were essentially filler, I can at least appreciate a message like “being sad doesn’t mean you’ve given up hope” or “allowing yourself to laugh even in the dark times can help a ton”. So yeah, not completely pointless.

Unfortunately, even with a few bright spots here and there, the overarching plot of s2 still feels underbaked somewhat - and that’s ultimately because of the new character its focused around.

Dominator’s Dilemma

Okay, fess up. Whose idea was it to completely exclude Dominator from the first six episodes of the season (after the s2 premiere)? Because WOW does this decision backfire a lot. I don’t even like Dom that much and I can still acknowledge that she needed much more screen time and focus than she got.

I don’t know if this was to build up the ‘mystery’ surrounding her or because they wanted to get back in the groove of writing the main 4, but this was the crew’s first crucial mistake. Hell, in the first two episodes she plays an active role in, she’s nearly silent in both of them, only having her little fangirl rant in The Greater Hater and a small handful of lines in The Battle Royals. (Which, if I’m being honest, is still a really fun episode for 90% of it, having both great action and absolutely hilarious jokes that still make me laugh, but I get the ending of it making people sour on the episode as a whole.)

Again, it felt like trying to build up this artificial mystery surrounding her when it really wasn’t necessary. Dominator was meant to be a MAIN MEMBER of the cast! Yet I’m pretty sure Emperor Awesome got more significant screen time than her in the end!

Things got a teeny bit better as the show went on, with Dom at the very least getting more lines and more moments to be both badass and totally villainous, but she still felt more like a goal/obstacle than an actual character. I’m not sure if the writers MEANT to do this persay, or if it was just an accident.

Ultimately, it wasn’t until The Night Out when Dom finally got a spotlight episode… which was a little over 3/4ths of the way through the season. You could argue that she also got a bit of characterization in the musical episode, but it was really more emphasizing what we already knew or could infer about her.

The Night Out, meanwhile, gives us something new - that she’s lonely - and we get a teeny hint of this again in The Robomechabotatron before being told outright in the series finale. Ultimately, it truly does feel like too little too late - especially when her secretly desiring friends just sorta feels like it’s aping off Hater’s secret motivations of wanting to be liked/admired and to have friends/people who love him for who he is.

So yeah, the crew completely dropped the ball on Dom’s characterization, using her as just a goal/threat/obstacle/etc. for nearly all of her appearances. Not only does it make Dom feel like a shallow character, but it also just feels unfair in general. Practically everything we know about Dom is for the sake of other characters.

She’s a test for Wander, an enemy/temporary love interest for Hater, an obstacle for our main four to overcome, and a threat to the characters we already love. Again, there’s nothing wrong with having a character that’s only meant to serve a purpose in the narrative, nor is there anything wrong with a character being shallowly evil… it’s just that the WoY crew hyped her up so much and claimed that she was a fifth main character (implying that she would get about as much development as the main four), so it just felt all the more disappointing when we didn’t get that. Add in her character design - a mix of goth/punk girl energy with Hartman Hips - and it does feel just a tad misogynistic.

There were things I liked about Dom - her cool lava powers and gadgets, her excitable personality, her villain spotlight moments, and her fun vocal performance provided by Noel Wells were all excellent. But unfortunately, these were all surface-level elements, and the crew just didn’t put in enough time to give her much else, essentially saving all her deeper character stuff for the never-made season 3…

A love-hate relationship (leaning towards hate)

Of course you can’t talk about Dom without discussing the season’s second arc, which many see as both a tumor on the plot and the absolute low point of the season. Admittedly when I was watching the season for the first time, I didn’t mind the romance arc all that much. I didn’t care if Dom was getting short-changed, I was too busy laughing at Hater falling all over himself like a dork and thought all the ‘critics’ of the arc were just focusing on the wrong thing and didn’t know how to have fun with a silly cartoon.

Obviously, this was the wrong perspective to have about this sort of thing (I was in the mindset of “I don’t want to accidentally make myself hate this thing I love so I’m going to ignore all criticism of it”. Definitely not the right approach), one that I still apologize for because the critics were totally in the right. From both an objective and a storytelling standpoint, this arc was just the worst - and for several reasons.

Leaning into the overall problem with Dom herself as mentioned previously, this arc was focused solely on Hater and Wander (and to an extent Syl and Peeps as they tried to talk some sense into their respective friends). Whenever Dom was brought in, she either used Hater’s crush to mess with him or just ignored it entirely, being obviously annoyed - and that was the extent of focus that her feelings got.

Outside of those moments, however, Dom’s feelings are relegated to the background, deemed as ‘unimportant’. Sure, in the climax of the arc, she gets this big whole musical number about how she’s “not the damsel” and isn’t interested in Hater’s affections - but again, it’s at the VERY END of the arc and the moment is less about Dom standing up for herself and more about emphasizing just how cruel she can be, as instead of simply rejecting Hater’s advances, she laughs in his face, continuing to mess with him to try and make the rejection as painful as possible before ultimately trying to kill Hater.

But while the arc ends in a showy (and admittedly still kinda fun, thank you Andy Bean and your musical talents) way, the way it starts sorta proves why this idea was so rotten to the core. The ONLY reason why Wander tries to get Hater and Dom together is ONLY because he knows Hater wants a GF and believes that a ‘positive’ thing like love could only ever result in the two villains finding happiness and no longer being evil. Nevermind the fact that Wander is shown only really caring about Hater’s perspective, not once considering Dom’s feelings or even asking if she wants a BF or romantic partner in general.

We get Syl calling him out on this a couple of times, but it’s in that ‘oh that Wander, always with the crazy ideas’ way. You’d think Sylvia, the icon that she is, would be just a bit more blunt and maybe even a bit harsh about how Wander’s treating Dominator - it’s not just a matter of it being a dumb and dangerous plan, but it’s essentially objectifying Dom, treating her like Hater’s missing piece. But hey, it’s fiiiiine, because Wander learns his lesson in the end, right? Except, no not really.

Because even when Wander FINALLY realizes this and feels guilty about causing so much trouble, Syl is more concerned with comforting Wander about it, because he TRIED to do what he thought was right and that “acknowledging you messed up is the first step towards making things right”. Like… yeah I guess but you could have let Wander actually acknowledge what he did was wrong and super messed up, focusing more on the personal aspect of how his whole romance scheme affected Dom AS WELL AS Hater (not JUST Hater) instead of how his scheme broke Hater’s heart and inadvertently made Dom more powerful.

(Also we see Wander shipping and actively pairing up the little Pikmin things in “The Sky Guy” soooooo no I don’t think he fully learned his lesson)

I also have to bring up how there are fans who view Dominator and her whole anti-love thing as aphobic. As someone who only recently figured out she was almost definitely aromantic, I’m certainly not the authority on this, but I can certainly understand the critiques.

What I THINK the WoY Crew was trying to go for was a ‘strong female villain who don’t need no man’, but between Dom constantly being described as ‘heartless’ and Peeps saying that he “doesn’t think she likes anybody” and her cruelty being turned up to 11 whenever someone expressed romantic feelings towards her, it does sorta imply “She can’t love and THAT’S why she’s a villainous monster” rather than simply “she’s a villainous monster”. And because we don’t get any real development or strong characterization with Dom, it’s hard to say where exactly her cruelty comes from, so it’s hard to really argue against these implications without simply inserting headcanons like “Dom is a lesbian”.

Now to be fair, I have seen some aromantics see Dom as good representation - I recall a month or so back when I saw people praising her after she was included in one of those Tumblr polls, with this one being focused on aromantic characters, saying that they liked how she didn’t sugarcoat her rejections and seeing her as this strong, cool, badass villainous who didn’t need romance. So yeah, obviously not every person who shares an identity is going to agree on representation and whether or not it's good, but considering all of Dom’s baggage and the inability to determine whether or not her heartlessness is the cause of her evil or simply a by-product of it, I personally feel like she’s just too messy of an example of a potential aro character.

(Honestly, Syl feels like a better example of an aromantic character to me, given that she and Ryder seemed just as platonic as she and Wander are, as well as her multiple rejections of Awesome and general disinterest/discomfort with romance. Buuut given that those latter examples are specifically with villains and thus it makes sense why she’d reject them regardless of her orientation, it’s still just a vibe/headcanon).

Before I close off this section, I do wanna acknowledge that beyond the potentially aphobic nature of Dominator, WoY’s LGBTQ+ rep isn’t nearly as great as I thought it was once upon a time as a young shipper. Some parts are still pretty okay, like Wander being coded as genderfluid/agender, but overall it still feels more like an old Looney Tunes cartoon than an episode of “The Owl House”, if you get what I’m saying.

In Craig’s defense, the man has never been all too interested in romance in his shows nor has he claimed otherwise - he either uses it as a joke while portraying it as a negative (see Ms.KeenexProf.Utonium, BlooxBerry or, obviously, DomxHater) or it’s a wholesome relationship that ultimately still stays in the background because it’s not all that important (see DracorxDemurra or Ramona and Carlos Flores from “Kid Cosmic”).

BUT given that there were LGBTQ+ crew members working on the show in s2, such as N.D. Stevenson, as well as LGBTQ+ allies, it is a shame that no proper representation came of that. We got a whole episode where the joke was “oh, Wander and Hater are planning Wander’s execution like it’s a wedding”, an episode where Peeps and Hater essentially break up when Hater fires him, and an “I just can’t quit you” sort of moment from Peeps in the s2 finale when he goes all heart-eyed over Hater deciding to continue being a villain. That’s it, all jokes but nothing substantial. Even the show’s number one lesbian/wlw pairing of SylxDom got a quick Girls Night montage and one sweet moment between them, nothing else.

Again, it’s fine if you’re just looking for jokes, and yeah the WoY Crew never outright promised any romances… buuuut given how much they chose to lean into the Skeleton Dance and DeathGlare stuff while at the same time never outright confirming any of these characters as LGBTQ+ (they didn’t even have to make any ships canon, they just had to say whether or not Wander/Hater/Peeps were gay/bi/pan/etc), I’m not gonna invalidate people who feel just a bit queerbaited about the whole thing.

Bittersweet Goodbyes

As I said before, I was starting college when WoY first premiered. It’s the show that led me to my best friend and it’s the show that helped me through those first two years of college (easily the roughest part of college). It was a show that made me laugh and got me excited, even during the times where I was stressed out or worried. For all its flaws, it was one of the brightest lights in my life at that time.

So, needless to say, when I heard the show was canceled, I was devastated. I remember crying about it that night and even the day after, and I remember joining in as many online strategies as possible to try and get the show back, from letter writing to petition signing. Of course none of that worked, but as a bright side, going through this helped emotionally prepare me for the next time one of my favorite shows was suddenly canceled (looking at you Nickelodeon. Though considering how the RotTMNT movie turned out maaaaybe it was for the best…)

Honestly, for as much as I can look at the show through a critical lens nowadays and point out all the ways it could have been better, I think there will always be a small part of me that wishes we could have gotten some sort of continuation, whether it be through a special, a TV movie or a comic - or hell, I’d even take the plans for s3 leaking at this point. Now, given that the end of WoY brought about the creation of “Kid Cosmic”, I feel like this part has faded a bit, but I’m always gonna want closure on things like Hater’s arc as well as his origins given how much they were teased.

But that in itself is another critique I could give the show. Whether it be Wander facing a different type of threat that wasn’t just another villain, Hater’s transition into becoming a good guy, Peepers getting fed up with his boss and striking out on his own, or Dom’s true characterization that the crew kept insisting was there - the show simply saved a lot of it’s most interesting ideas for a potential Season 3. It was a gamble, and it was one they ultimately lost. It sucks, but it is what it is.

There’s a few more things I could critique about the show, such as its take on the idea of character redemption and Wander becoming a bit of a karma houdini that the show pretty much stopped calling out, and while these critiques are valid I feel like there are other fans who could do a better job talking about those points. But in the end, while season 2 was both a let down in some parts and a bit of a mess in others, I still feel like there were ultimately more good things to be found within the show than bad things.

It’s not a perfect show, far from it. Frankly, I don’t look down on anyone who fell out of love with this show or enjoyed s1 but hated s2. But for what it’s worth, the memories I got from the show are still ones I treasure, and episodes like “The Good Deed”, “The Little Guy”, “The Nice Guy”, “The Epic Quest”, “The Rider”, “The Boy Wander”, “The Black Cube”, “The Hole… Lotta’ Nuthin’” and “The Cartoon” are ones I still love to bits and will probably always love as I watch them over and over.

Disney Channel itself may not care all that much about this show these days save for an occasional rerun or a quick cameo in their Chibi-Verse shorts, but I’m always gonna remember it - for better and for worse. So here’s to 10 years, WoY. I may not always like you, but I still love you.

#wander over yonder #woy #long post #personal thoughts #personal opinions #fair warning this is VERY long hence the read more #wasn't tempted not to post it because of the length #but this show was such an important part of my life #and I wanted to get all my current thoughts out about it

May as well post my response to someone on AO3 asking why I hate season 2 here. Already stirred the pot.

(Can't get read more working so everyone has to deal.)

I could write multiple essays about it but I'll keep it brief to avoid opening a can of worms. (Yes, this IS the brief version.)

1) Portraying Wander as a perfect immortal space Jesus ruined his character. Sylvia was forced to blindly trust him when she previously balanced out his worst impulses. So it also ruined their friendship by introducing a toxic power dynamic. And Sylvia's character too as she got forced into a subservient role.

Wander continuously pushing Hater's boundaries in an effort to make him good worked when he seemed young and naive, without knowing when to back off. If he's done this song and dance many times now Hater's just the latest entry in villains he's overwhelmed into submission. It's manipulative and cheapens their friendship.

2) They flattened Hater. In season 1 there was solid internal logic behind his foolishness. He's not just a stupid childish oaf. In much of season 2 his behavior seemed far more random with little purpose but to make him stupid and incompetent. (There were still some good episodes, mostly when Dominator was nowhere in sight, but...)

3) Misogyny. There were issues in season 1 but it really took off when Lauren Faust left the show between seasons to work on Medusa (which later got cancelled, sadly.) I have a feeling that her input kept it from getting out of hand with how it went from the usual lack of prominent female characters to the Dominator love interest arc.

Dominator worked well as a big threat that shook up the status quo and forced the main 4 to work together. But she was forced into a love interest role and demonized for not returning Hater's feelings.

This attitude is what leads to women getting assaulted for turning men down. As someone making children's cartoons, Craig has a responsibility to examine the messages closely and avoid reinforcing harmful ones because kids are very impressionable.

Also WOY used to be a great show for aromantics because it emphasized the importance of platonic love. That was no longer the case and many aro fans became bitter as the love interest arc wore on.

Her being portrayed as evil for not feeling love (I'm The Bad Guy) was the slap in the face as an aromantic (who thought I was a girl at the time) and my final straw. So I'm evil. Okay thanks guys. Time to pack it up and not even be able to bear to look at the show for several years.

Dominator was sexualized and it was disgusting. They constantly emphasized her boobs and hips despite her being fairly flat on model. There was even a storyboard posted with a note to fix her posing because when she was expressive that "wasn't pretty enough" or something like that.

They reduced what could have been a cool character to eye candy because she was a girl. Which is exactly what Wander and Hater did to her.

If this was a one episode thing that ended with Sylvia calling Wander out for being misogynistic and harassing her to pair her up with Hater, it would be fine. It'd be a good lesson. But it consumed most of the season without him and Hater ever being shown as wrong.

4) It was a waste of time that literally ended with the words "nothing ever changes" as they returned to the status quo. Craig McCraken failed to read the writing on the wall and thought that he would have unlimited time to tell his story. (Disney had an unofficial hard limit on keeping anything but breakout hits to two seasons at the time. And Wander wasn't one.)

Unpopular opinion but I'm glad Wander got canceled. Even putting the mess it became at the end to the side. That experience improved Craig's storytelling skills as he learned to work with the time he has instead of what he hopes for.

And that was what made Kid Cosmic great. I'm more attached to Wánder Over Yónder both because I was there for it airing and because it's my long-term special interest, but Kid Cosmic objectively has better storytelling because Craig learned to focus on the story he wants to tell.

It still has its flaws pacing wise, both because of Netflix keeping it short and him using so many main characters that most hardly got developed. (...Poor Chuck was all but abandoned by the narrative after his life was shattered.) Yet the story got wrapped up. Unlike Wander.)

5) Much more minor complaint but: The art suffered when they switched animation studios. I mean, I know Titmouse is a hard act to follow. But it looked cheap, with more errors, worse expressions, and more reused animation.

Probably not something the actual target audience would pay much mind to (I was a teenaged animation buff), still disappointing after how well-animated season 1 was.

So about a month ago I jokingly suggested to @signor-signor that when all seems lost in WOY Season 3, that Captain Tim might ultimately be the one to save the universe from Star Force Enforcement Force...

... and got this real swell reply in response!!!

I was even more grateful than I probably should’ve been, and just HAD to return the favor!

So without further ado, here’s...

🌟WOY Season 3 Episode Ideas🌟

🌠General🌠

⭐The Coronation: Upon returning to Baaaa-halla, Prince Cashmere invites Wander, Sylvia, Something the So-and-So (because yes), and everybody else still on the Star Nomad (read: a LOT of secondary characters) to attend his coronation! But of course, it’s not a coronation without a little trouble...

⭐The Little Guy and the Party Animal: In Westley’s official S3 debut, Emperor Awesome attempts to take his mind off his trauma and get back into the swing of things by doing what he does best: Throwing an epic planet-ending party with his new pet by his side!! ... That is, unless Westley has anything to say about it! Sister episode to “The Awesome Pet” and takes place not too long after that episode.

⭐The Little Cousin: Something the So-and-So (whom btw I can totally see being crazy-allergic to arachnomorphs for various reasons) tries to thwart SFEF’s plans with help from his kid cousin, Whatzit. Sister episode “The Nap” is only 5 minutes long as this is 17 minutes.

⭐The Insurgency: The Insurgent Generals are on a mission to steal back the weapons that the Scuzzbuckets rightfully stole first, only to get ambushed by Cirno from Touhou Project a mischievous fairy named Mitzi Ditzy, a brainwashed ex-commander Inkers, and their army of Schmartians! The gang has absolutely no idea what this kid’s deal is, but her ability to predict Wild Card’s moves (something deemed impossible long, long ago) is definitely not a good sign!! Mitzi tragically manages to get Wild Card on her side in the end (but not before the latter says something along the lines of “Go falafel yourself”)...

⭐The Honesty Issues: Trudi Traveler finds a treasure map, prompting Ryder and Frederick to tag along on the perilous voyage to the “Mystical Crystal Isles”! Spoiler Alert: Those are fake islands. But at least Ryder would become a slightly more honest person, and we’d finally learn where Trudi’s clones come from!

⭐The Mahou Shōjo: Just as “The Robomechabotatron” was all about mecha anime, this episode parodies magical girls in a hilarious way! Wander, Sylvia, and a few others get into quite the dilly of a pickle during a run-in with SFEF. But luckily a magical-girl humanoid named Sakura Tsukino, AKA Super Smile Sweetheart-chan, is there to save the day!

⭐The Purpose: Having finally returned to his reborn home planet, Something the So-and-So sets out on an adventure with his girlfriend, the paper-bag groupie from The Cool Guy (Bow, as I like to call her, whom I can see having a similar voice to Marcia the Martian from Tiny Toon Adventures for some reason); only once he’s returned to his mother and cousin Whatzit (and gotten a big ol’ smooch from his bag-headed cutie) does Something realize his true calling: to become a Wanderer just like Wander, Sylvia, and Westley! At long last, Something the So-and-So has found his purpose in life.

⭐The Gift 3: Electric Chimpanzee: Sister episode to “The Purpose” and the penultimate episode of Season 3. With everybody returned to their reborn homes and the 365th Yuletidian Cycle right on their heels, Wander, Sylvia, Westley, Hubert the space ape (another great idea of signor’s), and Cabin Fairy Mitzi Ditzy travel all across the galaxy delivering gifts to every new friend they’ve made throughout Seasons 2 and 3 (of their lives), and perhaps even their old friends from Season 1! They soon run into some trouble, however...

🕷️Feat. Everyone’s Favorite Arachnomorph🕷️

⭐The Nap: When Peepers takes his pillow away for the laundry, Captain Tim desperately searches all over the Skullship for somewhere else to nap. Only 5 minutes long due to sister episode “The Little Cousin” being 17 minutes.

⭐The Mate: During “The Return to the Star Nomad/The Invasion”, Captain Tim was smitten with Baroness Samantha Riegel when Emperor Awesome brought her along for his part of the attack. Now, he will do anything to smooch her and have little arachno-babies with her, just like how Hater was with Dominator! Forget “Bros before Arachnos”, that Baroness is HOT! Now it’s just getting her to return Tim’s affections. (Spoiler: He fails.)

⭐The Arachno-Obsessor: Some weirdo named Erika Phobia shows up on the Skullship asking to see Captain Tim. Spoiler: She is Planet Janet levels of yandere for him.

⭐The Metamorphosis: Captain Tim has been acting weird, causing Hater to worry his big ol’ skull off, and even Ripov can’t figure out what’s wrong with him! But then Tim disappears altogether, leaving nothing but a strange big “croissant” in Hater’s room, which turns out to be a chrysalis. Once the titular metamorphosis is complete, Tim looks exactly the same, but has aquired some new abilities that will almost certainly come in handy later on!

⭐The Cure-All: Poor lil’ Tim-Tim fell into a deathlike coma at the hands of SFEF in the previous episode, leaving Hatey-bo-Batey a mopey, sobby bag o’ bones. But it just so happens that the lost-and-found guy knows of a legendary cure-all that can wake him up, so Hater drags Peepers, Wander, Sylvia, Major Threat, and Ripov to help him on the dangerous quest for the ingredients. By the time they return though, Tim has already awoken-- seemingly making the whole thing all for nothing!! But surely the cure-all can be used to treat Something else in a future episode... (The sister episode is only 5 minutes long as this is 17 minutes.)

🦹Feat. The Bad Guys🦹‍♀️

⭐The Awesome Pet: Emperor Awesome has a close encounter with a female arachnomorph (which are like twice the size of the males bc SPIDERS), but ends up naming her “Baroness Samantha Riegel (get it?)” and adopting her as a) his therapy pet, and b) to spite Hatey and Tim-Tim! Otmar Vunderbar, the therapist (who just so happens to be signor’s OC), is not amused. Sister episode to “The Little Guy and the Party Animal” and takes place not too long before that episode.

⭐The Curmudgeon: Mandrake the Malfeasant gets conned into taking an interpretive dance class, and things only get worse for him from there-- especially when the instructor’s true identity is revealed!

⭐The Fairy Tailspin: Sister episode to “The Psycho Sextet” and leaves off right where that episode begins. Mitzi Ditzy, her bad-commander-turned-good-guy-turned-bad-again-sargeant Inkers, their new tactican Wild Card, and the Schmartians show up to cause chaos for Dr Screwball Jones and signor’s other oc, Dingbat-- even managing to manipulate the former into becoming their lieutenant!

⭐The Psycho Sextet: Sister episode to “The Fairy Tailspin” and begins right where that episode left off. Mitzi Ditzy, her Schmartian army, Sargeant Inkers, Tactician Wild Card, and the newest recruit, Lieutenant Screwball, head out to get Kragthar and General McGuffin on their team-- and succeed! How will anyone stop this Psycho Sextet (which, according to Mitzi, she wanted to call her “Sinister Six” but couldn’t due to legal reasons)!? We’ll find out in the next episode... (The next episode being “The Return to the Star Nomad/The Invasion”)

👉The Bad Guys Gone Good Club Arc👈

⭐The Bad Guys Gone Good Club: Sister episode to “The Roommates” and begins right where that episode left off. Westley, Something the So-and-So, and Something’s little cousin Whatzit (who’s only tagging along because SOMEONE has to keep her pathetic cousin in line. That and she can’t stand that darn arachnomorph!) leave the Star Nomad so they don’t have to deal with Captain Tim every day for possibly months (that and they don’t want the bad guys to find out Westley’s alive). Westley, inspired by the photo strip of Wander and you-know-who, forms the titular reformed-villains’ club, recruiting Major Threat, his former commander Mr Inkers, Black Cube (who’s feeling down because Tracy had to leave for the weekend to attend her sister Macy’s wedding), Something’s girlfriend Bow (the bag girl from The Cool Guy), Freddy the fire lion, and an extremely reluctant Dominator. They even bring along some of the Star Nomad’s other passengers, such as Something’s mother (the one who knitted the sweater for his villain costume; Something’s father and Whatzit’s parents were presumably killed by Dombots), to help return them home quicker! Inspired by this sweet art from @fanfic-inator795

⭐The Mischievous Fairy: The Bad Guys Gone Good Club heads for the So-and-So family’s reborn homeworld to drop Mama So-and-So off, but they run into a big problem when they arrive... Let’s just say Mitzi Ditzy makes her debut with a whole herd of brainwashed Schmartians in tow. It ends with Mitzi managing to coerce Mr Inkers onto her side, but luckily Tracy is back from her sister Macy’s wedding to fill the space!

⭐The Littlest Fistfighter: The Bad Guys Gone Good Club befriends Jenny, the youngest and most timid fistfighter, who was left behind when Awesome left Suburbon V, and take her on a trip to Bestley V (where Wander and Sylvia met Westley) to cheer her up.

⭐The Civil War: With their newest member, Jenny the littlest fistfighter, in tow, the Bad Guys Gone Good Club arrives on a planet ravaged by an ongoing civil war. But with the power of friendship and a little help from Frank Van Yisuko (signor’s other OTHER oc), they manage to bring the planet to peace after 4728 years of its otter-like inhabitants-- who can’t even remember why they started fighting-- warring amongst themselves (but not before Dominator furiously ditches the club)! Sister episode “The Bug” is only 5 minutes long as this is 17 minutes.

⭐The Return to the Star Nomad: The Bad Guys Gone Good Club arc concludes as Westley and Something find out that the Skullship is repaired and Hater, Peepers, and Tim can thus finally leave the Star Nomad. But when they arrive, they discover the ship under attack from a gaggle of villains! (Poor Something is sneezing like crazy due to the presence of both Captain Tim and Baroness Samantha Riegel... poor guy) Sister episode to “The Invasion” and tells that episode’s story from the Bad Guys Gone Good Club’s POV, similar to “The Gift 2: The Giftening”.

💗Based on the fact that Craig himself mentioned that Hater and Wander were going to bunk together on the Star Nomad at some point💗

⭐The Roommates: Sister episode to “The Bad Guys Gone Good Club” and leaves off right where that episode begins. Due to the Skullship’s destruction in the previous episode, Hater, Peepers, and Captain Tim are forced to bunk with Wander, Sylvia, and Westley and the So-and-So cousins respectively. Needless to say, hilarity ensues.

⭐The Bug (AKA Tim ’n Buggy): A little Wander-looking bug runs loose on the Star Nomad, and Captain Tim is determined to catch it, leading to a series of Tom and Jerry-style chases! But we all know that in toons like this, the hunter never, EVER catches the prey!! Only 5 minutes long due to sister episode “The Civil War” being 17 minutes. Inspired by this adorable art from @alixcitement ^w^

⭐The Invasion: The Skullship has finally been repaired, and Hater and Peepers have had enough of living on the Star Nomad. But just when they’re all packed up and ready to go, all sorts of villains burst in to cause some serious mayhem! Emperor Awesome and Baroness Samantha Riegel, Lil’ Bits and her Troll buddy, Mandrake the Malfeasant, Sourdough, even Mitzi Ditzy, her Schmartian army, and her Psycho Sextet-- Mr Inkers, Wild Card, Screwball Jones, Kragthar, and General KFC Bucket! Will our heroes be able to defeat them all!? Well duh, of course they will. But it won’t be easy! (Mitzi would reform out of frustration at the end, snapping Inkers and the others back to normal, and end up atoning for her mischief by working as a cabin girl for the Star Nomad idk) The Bad Guys Gone Good Club shows up too, and Hater and even Peepers mistake Westley for a ghost! Sister episode to “The Return to the Star Nomad” and tells that episode’s story from the Main Four’s POV, similar to “The Gift”.

I love how hardly any of these have anything to do with Star Force Enforcement Force (^^”)

I hope you likey ♥️❤️💗❤️♥️

Bonus:

Tumblr mutual Melteveryone would you happen to know which WOY eps would count as 'non-filler'/are more lore/overarching story driven. Or which eps are good in general :3c

oh boy its been probably over a year since the last time i watched it but i knew it inside and out for a while so i probably can still remember pretty good

in season 1:

the picnic (nothing remotely important happens in this episode it’s just the pilot but it’s good to have covered since it gets referenced later on… i believe)

the pet (first Really Good episode, i think, plus introduces Important Recurring… Character? Plot Device? Animal.)

the box/the hat (both good and also, hat lore)

the little guy

the date/the buddies (just fun)

the rider (Lore! A bit!)

in season 2:

oh god pretty much everything in woy season 2 is really good & technically relevant to the overarching plot

but to try and cover the best of the best and the most crucial plot or most lore shared:

the greater hater (Plot Crucial Episode 1)

the wanders

the good bad guy

the battle royale (Plot Crucial Episode 2)

the matchmaker

the black cube/the eye on the skullship

the secret planet/the bad hatter (events that will be referenced later on, lore that will Not get referenced again but is good)

the cartoon/the bot

the family reunion

my fair hatey (Plot Crucial Episode 3)

the legend

the waste of time (backstory!!!)

the night out

the flower

the end of the galaxy (Plot Crucial Episode 4)

This is a big ass list. Sorry. That’s just like half of all of the second season. Well hopefully this helps with whatever project you are undertaking :) 👍

Season Pitches and Greenlighting - What Occurs First?

Eight and a half years have passed since Disney decided to cancel Wander Over Yonder, one week before the premiere of The Greater Hater. As most of us know, the WOY crew had a third and final season planned out before Disney turned it down (for reasons that might have to do with favoritism). Lately, I’ve been wondering if other shows had their own season pitches before those seasons were granted. Take Star vs. the Forces of Evil for example. By exceeding two seasons while still being almost entirely exclusive on Disney XD, that show defied all odds. Did the crew have Seasons 3 and 4 planned out before Disney let them get made, though? If it was the other way around, that would explain why SvtFoE fans didn’t like 3 and 4 as much as they liked 1 and 2.

Also, I know The Owl House got cut short due to it “not fitting the Disney brand,” yet it still got a third (and certainly final) season with just 3 40-minute episodes. The fact that WOY didn’t get that kind of privilege tells me that the executives felt WOY didn’t fit the brand as well as TOH, Fish Hooks, SvtFoE, Big City Greens, or Amphibia did. They could not be more wrong, and I don’t think the crews for those shows ever had to try their hardest to convince Disney to let the shows have a third season (and beyond).

Any thoughts on the subject?

Ok so a few questions,

1. Does your woy sona meeting Hater take place after season 2?

2. Do you have a name for her yet?

3. Is she a morosexual? (Attracted to morons, specifically that skeleton moron?)

And 4. Does Wander drag Sylvia into a scheme to get Hater and your sona into a date? (And Sylvia is actually willing this time since your sona will actually be a good influence on Hater and it will be an actual healthy relationship?)

1. Short answer, yes. Still thinking of the first meeting and all that.

2. Twila probably!

3. It wasn’t until meeting Hater that she realizes she was lol!

4. Oh absolutely! Wander probably had to BEG Sylvia into helping getting the pair together at the beginning. Basically since my sona is coming from a high position of power, she has a image to keep and doesn’t have much experience with taking it easy or having personal relationships so with Wander dragging her away from her duties to get shoved together with Hater, she get frustrated at first. It’s gets to the point that Sylvia tries to take over the scheme due to how painful it is to watch both Hater and my sona being incredibly awkward and having horrible social skills around each other every time they were in a room together. I think the relationship is kinda a balance in a way, the hot vs cold sort of dynamic. Order vs chaos. Stuff like that.

im going to bed soon but before i do i must ask. do you have a favorite of the two seasons of wander over yonder? not sure about mine yet, but i personally really enjoyed both seasons! i liked how season 1 was episodic but season 2 had episodes that broke the mold & was a bit more serialised. i think that aspect could have been handled better, but i still liked it a lot. i feel like s2 hater suffered from some flanderisation, esp during the romance arc. sometimes it felt like his whole personality was reduced to being this total loser idiotguy. i liked dominator's story as well even if parts could have been better. but its okay because i love the show as a whole, and its quickly become an all time favorite. but yeah, what are your thoughts on the whole s2 thing? (thing to note, this was prompted by me watching a yt video the other day of some guy talking about why season 2 was lame and bad. said video was lame and bad & almost entirely wrong) smiles!

i agree with you on everything here!! season two’s serialization Was a little clumsy at times and hater’s flanderization compared to his season one personality is kind of unfortunate BUT i do still like season two as a whole^_^ i think i prefer season one’s whole a teeny tiny bit better though cuz i think the primarily episodic format worked a little better especially since it gave so much time to explore all the characters and there was more spotlight episodes on characters outside the main four, whereas a lot of the post-my fair hatey one-off episodes kinda felt a little like filler just cuz they had to still tie it back to the overarching plot without ultimately effecting it? if that makes sense. like sky guy and robomechabotatron i think are especially guilty of feeling like that even though they are still fun episodes. overall i think season one stands on its own a little tiny bit better even though i do REALLY like both seasons^_^ i can’t wait to rewatch again auhhhh i’m so so glad you like woy so much that makes me so so so so happy!!!!!!!!

Hey! So, WOY is one of your favorite shows, right? Mine too! I’m still on season 1 though. QwQ. And I was wondering, will you please draw me a Commander Peepers running from Wander? It’s probably my favorite scene in the show! ^^”

Yes, I am a fan of WOY and I’ll be happy to draw the request for you!
