Do you think Becky’s real parents, the ones from Lexicon might be looking for her?

I sure hope so. If they weren’t then maybe it’s better that Becky ended up on Earth with the Botsfords. Though I suppose they could have been looking for her at some point, and have just given up over the years. This would make sense, as I think many people on Lexicon probably realized that Captain HuggyFace vanished the same day this little girl did and assumed she was somewhere in space with him, and I’m sure trying to find your child from any place in the universe would be a difficult and hope draining task.

I think there was a crew member saying that Becky’s parents actually did find her on Earth, but when they saw how happy she was, they decided to not do anything. Though I can’t remember if this was a fact they were giving us or their own personal headcanon. If this is true, that’s kinda cute and I personally would like to think they stayed on Earth and watched her grow up from a distance.

Honestly, what I really wonder about her parents is what the circumstances were that left their baby unattended long enough to crawl onto a spaceship. When watching her origin story, Huggy seems to have his ship parked far away from anything. It’s just barren, flat terrain, so it’s not like she was crawling through anything that would have allowed her to be hidden like bushes or something. They would have been able to see her wobbling about from a pretty far away distance. This is something I’ve always wondered and I can’t think of what the situation would have been that would have allowed all this to happen.

Does anyone else feel like the sibling relationship between Becky and T.J. changed throughout the series?

Like in the beginning it was a really stereotypical sibling relationship for tv where they would be constantly annoyed with each other and seemed to not care about each other at all.

And by the end of the series it seems to me like it was more realistic? Like yeah they still got on each others nerves like siblings do, but they also could get a long and help each other out and weren’t constantly disgusted with each other.

Is it just me?

Thoughts on Becky’s birthday

I WAS gonna post this after work, but since I’m having a panic attack (at the worse time in my workday too 🙄) I’m gonna post it now because I need to distract myself. I’m mostly sharing this information in case I make a grammar, spelling or factual mistake because I can’t check it right now

So I have two discoveries, a headcanon and a question all involving Becky’s birthday in some way shape or form.

Discoveries:

1. Violet is younger than Becky by a few months. This comes from the episode in which Becky has a slumber party. Becky states that she is nearly ten and half, and that Violet doesn’t turn ten and a half for several months. I can’t remember if Becky said exactly how many months (and I’m using data so I can’t check) but for some reason three stands out to me. Depending on how many months it was until Violets half birthday, and what Becky’s definition of her almost being ten and half is (to me that means one month or less, but she may think two months or less is close) I think it’s safe to say at most Becky is six months older than Violet EDIT: I just got home and reviewed the episode and my numbers where waaay off. First, Becky states that she recently turned ten and a half, so again depending on her definition of recently, that’s probably not more than two months, and then she says that Violet turns ten and a half in a month. So actually they are probably at most 3 months apart and honestly, probably closer to two or less. And the episode was Slumber Party Pooper btw.

2. Tobey is older than Becky by an unknown amount of time. This comes from the I believe the episode is Tobey or Consequences (whichever episode was Tobey’s debut for the actually show (not the the shorts)) the narrator started that Tobey was a “ten year old genius” from what I remember, this episode was before the Becky’s birthday episode, where Becky turned ten

Headcanon : Becky’s birthday is in May. Idk she seems like a May kid to me 🙂

And question: how exactly was Becky’s birthday chosen? There is almost no possible way anyone knows her real birthday, her parents found her in the woods and adopted her, so they wouldn’t have known, Becky was likely too little to have known, and the only way Bob could have known is if he knew her and her family before they crash landed on Earth (which I certainly don’t think this is impossible, and I’ve seen clues that support this, but honestly if that’s the case forget Becky’s birthday, I’d rather hear the untold stories of Wordgirl and Huggy from before Earth) not to mention the fact that Lexicon would most likely have a completely different calendar system than Earth. So did the Botsfords just like decide her birthday was the day they found her? Or did they go “well she looks 18 months old or so, so lets say her birth date was 18 months ago” or something like that? Does Bob have a birthday they celebrate too?

I’m watching Bampy Battles Bots.

I swear Bampy is the only person on this show who can connect any dots.

Becky/Wordgirl has made hundreds of slip ups, many in front of the closest people in her life, people she’s spends nearly everyday with, if not every single day. Not to mention her super hero disguise is hardly a disguise and Wordgirl and Becky sound, look and act alike. And yet the only times any of these characters that spend so much time with her have ever figured out her secret identity is when they accidentally see her turn into Wordgirl.

Meanwhile Bampy, who doesn’t seem to be around her that often, figures it out after she made a defensive Wordgirl rant and one slip up.

WordGirl Personality/Powers Analysis

Now I don’t think it was intended that WordGirl’s powers matched aspects of her personality (maybe, but it was my understanding that they just based her powers off Superman) but I was thinking about it and it actually works kinda well.

Super Vocabulary– Okay it should be fairly obvious how this power reflects her personality, she loves words and she’s from planet Lexicon after all! But it’s always been my headcanon that there are various kinds of word-related superpowers on Lexicon, and someone (I can’t seem to figure out who it was, so if this was you or you know who it was please tell me so I can give them proper credit!) suggested the idea that Rhyme from Rhyme and Reason is from Lexicon too. If this is true, then clearly her word-related power is rhyming. So what makes super vocabulary a better match for Becky’s personality than rhyming or something else? Firstly, she’s not creative or artistic at all (which I feel like if she was, the rhyming ability would have made a lot of sense), instead, she is intellectual. She doesn’t care if things sound nice like if they rhyme, she cares that the things she’s saying sound correct. And thus, she has the ability to know whether or not something is a word, what it means and how to pronounce it correctly.

Super Strength– Becky is a very metaphorically strong girl. She takes all kinds of crap from being a superhero, and she seems to be strong-willed and can keep herself away from temptation. Yes, I know she has given into temptation several times (*cough* Pretty Princess *cough*) but in her defense, she’s a kid, and I think she is much stronger willed at avoiding temptation than other kids her age. She has also been shown to be a little athletic so there’s that too.

Super Speed– Metaphorically speaking, this girl is quick. She is quick to point out injustices when she sees them, quick to call people out on their BS, quick to say things she shouldn’t (all the many times she almost blew her superhero persona), quick to jump into action when she’s needed and quick-witted.

Flying– She thinks very highly of herself. She can be modest, yes, but she is also often shown to have a big ego and likes the attention she gets from citizens. Even when she’s being modest, I feel like we don’t very often see her having insecurity issues. 

Super hearing– I thought this one would be hard, but it’s actually super easy and important: She is willing to listen. She listens to the villains and their problems and tries to offer them advice in return, and she is willing to listen first and fight later. This is a huge reason she’s such a great superhero and why she has such good friendships with all the villains despite them being enemies.

These next two are easy to forget she even has because they aren’t brought up or shown very often:

Sonic Scream– I know this power has been shown in a few episodes, but I have no idea which ones. Seems like it usually pops up when she’s particularly angry or upset. As for how this power relates to her personality I struggled with this one, but I thought perhaps this has to do with her wanting attention? She’s been shown in episodes like Tobey’s Playground Calamity that sometimes she likes it when Becky gets attention instead of Wordgirl. So maybe this power is based on her need for attention (because boy does it get people’s attention) and doesn’t come up very much because in general, she does get a lot of attention, it’s just usually of the Wordgirl variety. Also, it could be referring to any anger issues she may have, but represses and we don’t see it very often because she doesn’t let it through very often? That is very similar to my analysis of her last power…

Freeze Breath– I have no idea how many episodes this was in, less than the sonic scream I believe, and I think potentially only one, The Rise of Miss Power. Even if it was in more episodes, I think it’s safe to say this episode put more emphasis on this power than any other episode it may have been in, and that actually connects very well to how this power relates to her personality. It’s clear, especially in this episode that when she’s really mad or has fallen down the wrong moral path, she can be very cold-hearted. It’s kinda interesting that this power got more focus in the episode that she was at her meanest. This power doesn’t come up very often because this is not a trait we see in her very often.

Whether or not these were intentional or a fun accident I don’t know, but I thought it was interesting and I wanted to share!
