Concept: Steven Boxleitner was the Bill Nye of the Wordgirl universe
This idea exists solely because I thought it was funny
dr. two brains
Me getting home from work: ahh peace at last. Now I can sit here with my thoughts
My thoughts: Dr. Two Brains probably loves the Tom and Jerry cartoons!
You can always tell which Wordgirl villain will be staring by the pun in the episode title
i headcanon dr boxleitner had a reasonable suspicion who wordgirl really was (based off how much he studied her and spent time with her and possibly saw her grow up) but when he got fused with squeaky he simultaneously got too pure evil to care and some level of steve was able to keep things from squeaky and just didn’t spend much time with citizens like harmless lil ol’ becky to really have that come up again
That’s a really interesting idea! I would have loved an episode based on this. Like it starts to come back to him and squeaky is trying to pry it out of Stevens memory.
I know they said they wanted to write more about the struggle between having the two brains with conflicting moral stances fighting for control, but thought it was too intense for kids, but perhaps if they had gone in that direction they would have considered doing an episode like this. I think it would have been great for that!
So instead of not enjoying myself at my family’s New Years party, I decided to watch the New Years WordGirl Episode
And I have some thoughts I would like to share…
(Good thoughts, let me clarify)
First off, these poor boys, they just want to have a party and to do so they had to gather the few party supplies from other holidays they had. I see Christmas lights, a 4th of July hat, a St. Patrick’s Day hat, a Halloween noise maker thing, can’t remember the name of it. ….. and WordGirl and Captain HuggyFace tablecloth?? Why do they have that?? And when Two Brains comes in he doesn’t even acknowledge it so does that mean they just have that?
He may have a mouse brain, but he has the mouth of a chipmunk…
…and octopus fingers
More under the cut…
“TJ the DJ” okay, yes, I like it, I like it a lot, but have you considered “DJ TJ”?
Also, I like to brainstorm what the kiddos in this show would do for a living when they are adults, I’ve had trouble thinking of one for TJ, but maybe a DJ!
Becky is the cutest little dancer. Haha, this would be a good “someone who has never seen WordGirl, please explain this image”
Also regarding Bob…
Is…is he stoned?? What is in that guacamole??
That look of sheer terror XD
Becky did that. And all I wanna ask her is did she think she was in a battle or something? She did that with a pinata! Also, the family just shrugs it off, and I don’t mean in a “how did Becky do that?” kinda way, but in an “oh, crap! there’s a hole in the wall!!” they basically just go, “Well I guess we have a hole in the wall now! Next game!”
Is that a WordGirl cup Bob has? It’s kinda hard to tell in this picture, and it’s not surprising in this family but I think that’s a cute little detail
Real talk though, where does one store a guacamole bowl that large?
They are so cute!
I just…can’t get over Bob
Mrs. Botsford may have had a few drinks
So, you’re gonna contact Lexicon?
Bob, I assure you, you have already accomplished that resolution
I wanted this shot so I could comment on the quote, and I ended up laughing at her eyes for a minute straight.
Regarding the qutoe, Becky, I don’t think you have a lot of control of how much you have to be running around when you’re a super hero…actually if she really wanted to she could probably significantly cut down on the witty banter in battles…
Such a cute family.
Awww! We need more moments like this!!
Who’s idea was it to put The Energy Monster in the ball, because that’s a really good idea
AW! And who’s idea was it to have a villain New Year’s Eve party? Because that’s adorable!
oh, apparently it wasn’t his idea…or rather he had the same idea…
Again, they’re just so cute!
Everyone is just so damn cute!!!!!
“Hey, you know what we should do, we should put a picture of Dr. Two Brains, from when he was Steven, and have him standing next to some random, unnamed lady!”
“Are you crazy! That will drive the fans crazy! Let’s do it!”
Maybe Two Brains is the one who’s stoned…
See! Even The Narrator thinks you’ve already achieved your resolution Bob!
Poor Huggy…
This is one of those, “I don’t know why it’s funny but it’s sssooooo funny” kind of things. I love how he just casually looks up with a face like “what am I doing with my life?”
I love how he waits for Huggy to get himself together, he doesn’t even give it a second thought. He may be a criminal but he knows he’s gotta play fair
When you tell your mom you’re doing your homework but you’re actually in your room like
Ignore the quote, I just forgot to turn that off. I need to rant about this real quick. So I understand why Tim is there this early, I understand why Sally tagged along, but no explanation was given as to why TJ came too. I mean I think he’s too young to be left home alone, but what about Becky? Hadn’t she already had a day where she technically babysat TJ? I’m pretty sure that was before this episode, correct me if I’m wrong, please. And yeah, I know Becky isn’t there, but they shouldn’t know that. So there was no reason for them to take TJ if they thought Becky was home. So let’s say he wanted to come for one reason or another, okay, now the whole family is going and leaving Becky and Bob behind and this family doesn’t do things like that. One of them would have asked Becky if she wanted to come, or told her where they were going so she didn’t wake up and go “where is everyone?” Or at the very least, wouldn’t they have maybe gone into her room to check on her before leaving her alone in the house asleep? This just doesn’t make sense to me and I like to believe that one of the other Botsfords knows Becky and Bob are WordGirl and Huggy and are covering for her from the rest of the family. “We should go ask Becky if she wants to come!” “I’ll do it!” “No she doesn’t want to come” “Are you sure? Let me ask her–” “NO! Really she said she’s tired and doesn’t want to come!!!!”
I kid you not this is something I actually say in real life
Another good “someone who’s never seen WordGirl, please explain this” and the quote in there somehow makes it better
What in the name of cheese is she doing?
Hope you enjoyed my silliness and my brief moment of Botsford family conspiracy theorizing!
Edit: I finally got this posted! I think the difference was that I did it through my laptop this time instead of my phone (I swear I already tried that, but my computer wouldn’t connect to the internet)

Who wants to help me find a lost Wordgirl FanFic???
Story Time! So back in sophomore year, is when I really started getting into Wordgirl. Lol not when I was a little kid, no I was a high schooler. (I had seen Wordgirl as a kid and enjoyed it, but sophomore year was the start of my obsession—why am I sharing this, it’s not relevant…) And I found an amazing Wordgirl FanFic on fanfiction.net. I was completely hooked. I binge read the first few chapters and couldn’t stop! I knew I was gonna be up all night reading this story!
And then I had my very first panic attack. Panic attacks are scary in general, but when it’s your first one, and you have no idea what’s happening or what a panic attack is, it’s extra terrifying. I thought I was dying. After my mom explained what it was, I decided to read the rest of the fanfic later. I thought that because I was reading the fanfic at the time, that that must have been what caused it. Like it was too scary or stressful for me or something (it was an oddly serious fanfic, especially compared to its light-hearted original show) and when I realized that it didn’t cause the first one, I was scared that reading it again would cause another panic attack because at that point I associated the story with having a panic attack. So I decided to put off reading it again. Five years later, not only have I not gotten around to reading it again, I have completely forgotten the fanfic title, and have tried to find it on my own, but with no luck. So I’m hoping if I describe what I remember, someone will recognize it. Now I read a lot of Wordgirl fanfics at the time, so it’s possible that I’m mixing up some of these details with other fanfics, but most of them should be correct
Like I said, it’s been five years since I read this, so at the very least the fanfic is that old. And again, it was a very seriously toned story. It involved Becky as a teenager, she is no longer Wordgirl, she’s moved to another city with her family, and her parents got divorced I remember some comment about even the most perfect families can fall apart or something like that to justify Mr. and Mrs. Botsford getting a divorce. Her and her dad take a trip back to the city, to find that it’s basically a horrific dystopia. I forget which villain exactly took over, but pretty much all the other villains were working for them. Becky eventually runs into Violet, Scoops, and Tobey and learns they’ve created a resistance and are trying to fight whichever villain had taken over. I remember Lady Redundant Woman was something of the police force of the city, and I don’t know what the Butcher’s role was, but I remember Tobey or somebody saying something along the lines of “we have to be careful, otherwise she’ll get caught and taken to the Butcher!” so in all honesty, I was very concerned as to what his role was. I remember Tobey, Scoops, and Violet all knew Becky was Wordgirl, something about it being obvious before she left because she was so stressed out or something and you could see the stress in Becky as much as you could see it in Wordgirl. And once they ran into Becky they asked her to join their force as Wordgirl to help. Last I remember, they tried to capture Dr. Two Brains to interrogate him. (the more I’m remembering, the more I want to remember which villain had taken over because it’s clearly not Tobey, Two Brains or the Butcher and honestly those seem like the most likely candidates). I also remember the author writing the name of a song to look up that fit the feeling of the chapter. Though of all the memories I think I might be mixing up with another fanfic, this is the one I think I’m most likely mixing up (but hey, if it is different, and you happen to find that fanfic, let me know, because honestly I remember really enjoying the music chosen for each chapter). I also remember the story being rated T (which probably doesn’t come as a shock)
That’s all I remember at the moment, I’ll edit the post if I think of some more details.

Watch the Mousezilla episode of Wordgirl, see how Tobey and Dr. Two Brains act with each other?
