I Like To Think That If Rapunzel Ever Met The Warners, She'd Be VERY Protective Of Them, Since They Were

I like to think that if Rapunzel ever met the Warners, she'd be VERY protective of them, since they were also locked in a tower for an extended period of time because they were different. And since she knows she'll never be trapped again, she'd be determined to make sure the Warners aren't either.

Finding out that they were trapped for 60+ years would make her track Plotz down with a frying pan.

I personally love the concept of Wakko being friends with Scooby and Shaggy.

It's not some rare, brand new idea, of course. I've read a handful of fics where Wakko and Scooby hang out. It makes a lot of sense that they would know each other. I mean, they're all Warner Bros. toons and can truly "pack away the snacks."

I think it's a super fun idea.

I've got a lot of ideas how their friendship would go. Whenever the gang are in town, Wakko has lunch with them and they catch up. Besides, Wakko loves hearing about their wild adventures and he tells them how his life is going. The mystery-solving duo are some of the only people who legitimately care. They ask about Yakko and Dot. They bring up that Daphne and Dot would get along super well. Maybe they should all hang out together sometime.

The restaurants in Burbank either get super excited or start crying when they see the three of them hanging out together. Scooby, Shaggy, and Wakko eat the most at those times, since they have no need to rush. There's no ghoul running around, or security guard for that matter. Speaking of, Scooby can do a mean Ralph the Guard impression.

They either met on the set of "Scooby-Doo: Where Are You?" back in the day, when the Warners were being loaned around, or...

"Uhuru, Where Are You?" was a copycat show that was intending to air around the same time as competition, and after "accidentally" forcing its delays through injuring their star dog, the Warners guaranteed Scooby and the gang's success.

Maybe one day, the Warners will get to take them up on that offer to join the gang as guest stars for an episode and they'll get to unmask some kooky crook themselves.

I do all the time. Especially when I'm at work. Stories that will never see the light of day, but make me happy.

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Holy cow, already!? 😳

Finally got chapter 13 done! Oh boy, this one was bugging me for a while. I'm glad I was able to grow enough confidence in it to post it.

"Lou is on his way. He's made considerable progress and he knows what to do now. He knows where he's going.

He didn't expect to meet an old friend on his journey. A friend who knows him while he remains clueless.

She recognizes him immediately. She knows what needs to be done.

She'll teach him his family history, pretending to go along with his scheme, all the while reawaking behaviors and memories long left forgotten.

If Lou wants to meet with the Royal Family, then he must pretend to be Louie. He must join the list of cons, with the sole intention to inform them.

After all, this is his specialty. He'll succeed, because he's a liar.

At least, that's what he thinks."

A Different Perspective on the Warners' Ages

The actual age of the Warners has long been a topic of debate. Are they more children or are they more 90-year-olds? Some mixture of the two? My actual opinion has always been some mixture. They are physically and mentally children, but with 90+ years of life experience in their children brains.

But then I got thinking about it. Do they have 90+ years of life experience? For the vast majority of that time, they were either locked in a tower or in suspended animation. Is time spent in a possibly dark and empty tower really valuable as a life experience? Are they gaining any practical knowledge, are they learning anything, are they developing? Or are they just static?

Even if the tower has fun stuff in it, they're not really gaining much from riding a rollercoaster over and over again. They're not experiencing the world. They're not building up the experience that any other 90-year-old would have. If you take three human children and lock them up in a room until they're adults, they're not gonna come out of there acting like adults. They will still be children for all intents and purposes in their heads. They didn't develop.

If you only count the time the Warners were out of the tower, as far as them getting practical life experience and "aging" in a mental sense, then the picture changes significantly. They were created in 1929 and locked in the tower in 1934. That means they had 5 years of true life experience when they were locked away. They escaped for brief periods over the next 60 years, for a couple of weeks at a time at most. Maybe we can add a year for all those experiences total?

So, by the time they escaped from the tower in 1993, they were mentally 6. They were out and about until 1998 or 1999 if you go up to the time Wakko's Wish was released. That's 6 more years at most. When they were put in suspended animation, they were mentally 12.

They came back in 2020 and were around for 3 more years. This means that, at the beginning of the reboot, they were mentally 12, and by the end, they were mentally 15.

I think these numbers actually line up pretty well with how the Warners act in the reboot and how they seemed to develop both in the original series and the 2020 series. They were more like crazy children in the first episodes in the early 90's, became a little more grounded and cynical as that series went on, and act more like adults or teens in the reboot than they did before.

I'm not saying this was some intentional deep worldbuilding on the part of the writers. I'm just saying it makes sense.
