You can always tell which Wordgirl villain will be staring by the pun in the episode title
Aspects of Becky’s / WordGirl’s character I really love
- When the Narrator gave her the choice of how they should transition to the next scene and she apologized to Exposition Guy for choosing “conveniently turning on the TV at the right moment” over him
- That time the Narrator couldn’t believe she actually dressed up as WordGirl for Halloween and she defended herself by pointing out that she already had the costume
- When the Narrator feeds her hints and she scolds him for reading ahead in the script
- Basically any time she talks to the Narrator ever
- That time Dr. Two-Brains went good and invited her over and she was so on edge that she whirled around and slammed him into the wall
- That time Chuck begged her to stop the zookeeper from listing off fun panther facts and she told him she couldn’t do anything unless he breaks a law
- That time she honestly struggled to decide between riding a pony or saving the world
- “It’s not that hard to get a key to the city. I have like 40 of them.”
- Her terrible cover-ups when she gives herself away. “Way to go, Dad!” “Did you just call me Dad?” “No.”
- Her relationship with her dad in general, like when he kept urging her to dance with him and they ended up compromising by talking things out and not forcing her to dance onstage if it made her uncomfortable
- “Yeeeeah, here’s the thing, Miss Power. We don’t really talk about Chuck’s… I mean, he’s a sensitive guy…”
- When she laughs at her own jokes and awkwardly trails off when no one else laughs
- The running gag that she has no artistic ability whatsoever, and also this extends to her inability to create poems and her inability to sing
- That time she tried to shimmy her way through a force-field while Dr. Two-Brains looked on in confusion and disappointment
- When she gave the newbie villains a head start on their getaway
- Whenever she procrastinates fighting crime to watch TV or play with her unicorn figurines
- Any time she stops in confusion to question a villain about their evil plans, and sits down to listen with honest curiosity while they explain
- Every time she gets jealous when someone else wins a key to the city
- When she and The Butcher compliment each other on their witty banter
- When she refers to Kid Potato as “Sir”
- Her progression of taking Kid Math by the shoulders and gently leading him off-screen to flat-out sliding him across the floor in unbridled rage
- Her exasperation with Kid Math in general is just very good
- When she stops to giggle over how cute / ridiculous the villains are
- That time she was scanning the crowd and stopped in the middle to gush over how pretty this one random lady was
- That time she helped push Mr. Big’s car out of the snow
- When she let Lady Redundant Woman monologue for ten minutes because she thought interrupting her would be rude
- Whenever she stops mid-duty to say Hi to random citizens
- Her “Oh, it’s just you again,” attitude whenever she encounters Amazing Rope Guy
- Any time she gets confused when civilians stop her from arresting a villain because they think the villains are cool
- That time she snuck away to read the stolen princess book instead of returning it to the bookstore
- When she picks Tobey up with one hand or carries him around on her shoulders
- When she accused Tobey of stealing a library book with no proof and after she found out she was wrong her pride made it so incredibly difficult to apologize but then she DID
- When she tries so hard to remember the Energy Monster is female even though breaking her series-long habit of referring to her as male is really hard for her
- When she accidentally revealed herself to be WordGirl while defining “realize” in front of Tobey and two seconds later realized “Oh wait shoot I shouldn’t have used my secret identity as an example of something that someone might realize.”
- When she pounced on the opportunity to turn Whammer into a good law-abiding citizen and absolutely wouldn’t take ‘No’ for an answer
- When she gave a heartfelt speech about doing what you love and accidentally convinced The Butcher to return to a life of crime
- When she was touched that Chuck was worried about her when she went out of town without telling him
- How happy and goofy she is with Violet when they’re playing and singing and just being friends together
- When she and Tobey bonded over not the fact that neither of them were invited to Katie’s birthday party
- When she and Tobey went for ice cream and he asked her if she was buying and she said “I’m buying my own” without missing a beat
- That time she and The Learnerer bonded over the fact that neither of them understand art
- When she broke down in tears watching Rhyme and Reason make up
- Basically any time she does innocent ten-year-old things and makes choices a ten-year-old would she’s so cute I love her
Yeah so I’m gonna need Wordgirl headcanons today because sad shit is doing down in my family and I need a pick-me-up and/or a distraction..
it’s been four years and i’m STILL thinking about how becky never ONCE got the chance to reveal her identity willingly. every single time it was either out of necessity or because someone figured it out on their own. and since tobey was the one character trying to force it out of her through the show, it’s imperative to me that in ID reveal fics, she has full control over tobey finding out her identity
Lately I’ve been imagining Becky going through a rebellious teenage phase, but also struggling with it because she’s Wordgirl and has to “set an example”
Not anything illegal like shop lifting mind you, but like throwing a party with her friends when her parents aren’t home, sneaking out with friends late at night, things like that.
And like it’s mostly Bob telling her she can’t because she’s Wordgirl, and her excuse is that it’s only Becky doing these things, not Wordgirl. But at the same time, she knows he’s right.
And Bob doesn’t even want to talk to her about this because he’s not the parent, this isn’t his responsibility! But years of sneaking off to fight crime has made Becky pretty stealthy in this area, so her parents rarely catch her in the act, and someone’s gotta lecture her about it so it’s up to Bob.
Me at 15: what if Becky loves princesses so much because she is actually the princesses of Lexicon
Me at 22: lol Huggy is probably super panicked because he inadvertently kidnapped the princesses
