Wordgirl characters that deserve ask blogs but to my knowledge don’t have any:
- Bob/Huggy
- The Narrator
- Violet
- Any of the other Botsford family members
Feel free to add to the list

Bob’s like “thanks Tim, guess I won’t be playing with you guys since I can’t talk”
Bonus:
“if I can’t play I may as well go get a light snack”
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
Two things:
I thought the idea of Huggy sewing Wordgirl’s costume back together was cute.

I always thought Bob was extremely jumpy. I assumed it was just for comedic effect (which it probably is) but today it randomly hit me that he probably has PTSD from the ship crash.

Well if it helps, by Earth standards, he’s technically a chimp, which according to google their lifespan is 40-50 years, which is better. Also, if the animal is in captivity the lifespan is closer to 50-60. Now Huggy/Bob is not in captivity, but I’m pretty sure the reason animals in captivity live longer is because they have access to medical stuff and plentiful amounts of food and water and all that, and I think it’s safe to assume that whether he’s a citizen on Lexicon or the Botsford’s beloved family pet, he probably has access to all these things when he needs them.But you’re absolutely right! Since he’s from space we can apply different logic to him. Especially since I’m pretty sure it was confirmed that while he’s a chimp by Earth standards, he’s a monkey by Lexicon standards, which implies that the biological rules of Lexicon and the ones of Earth are different.Â
Huggy’s age and lifespan depend on ssooo many factors that require us to know more about Lexicon to make an educated guess.Â
And all that’s really just trying to figure out his lifespan. Finding his actual age would depend on:
Because of all the factors, we’ll probably never have a canon answer to his age or lifespan. But hey, that just means we can make whatever rules we want! Huggy is immortal
