We finally got to meet Penny and see her personality and relationship to the boys. Her presence definitely shook the boys and girls up.

Brick and Bubbles seemed the most shaken by her presence. They each seem to be questioning what the future holds in comparison to their current reality

We need more and moreee of it.

Once again, @red-can-draw is the sweetest human! She sent me these two beautiful art prints of the reds at the beach and her cowgirl lesbian OC’s Lizbeth and Raquel. Along with three adorable Pride month stickers of the girls.

Red is sending out a thank you gift every month to someone who supports her on Patreon. Get in on the goodies here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=27614681

Supporting her helps her buy art supplies so she can keep sharing her art with us 💕

Finally working on it again 🥰

Oh my gosh this is 100% gold

I’ve currently revived myself from the dead and I’m working on part 4 of the gas station AU now. Probably not going to be anytime soon, but hopefully can get to something like this sometime in the future

Seriously, Red is so kind, supportive and endlessly patient (especially when I’m taking five years to finish something that should’ve taken a week)

My goal is to submit my applications as fast as possible to be early for rolling admissions. The plan is to have my main application and secondary applications all done in about three weeks so I can relax and enjoy summer

Saying the boys have been through a lot together feels like a an over simplification

For most of their lives, the only people the boys could truly trust have been each other. I think they’re bond is pretty unbreakable

You’re totally right that Boomer hasn’t changed i noticed it a lot in this chapter. He just wants to make Bubbles happy and she’s not stupid. She has already noticed, I’m sure of it. She just doesn’t want to admit it to herself. She’s gone through so many boyfriends she just wants one to go right. So she pushes it aside.

As for Boomer, I hope we get some serious emotions from this. I could see Him getting involved with Boomer too. If you remember about a chapter ago we found out that Boomer was Him’s favorite. Him might use this to pull him back. Not only that but I think Boomer might still have some loyalty to Him. “They were inseparable” or I wonder if we’ll find something ELSE out.

If that happens I think Brick will panic. Completely, I could see him having a panic attack which would probably get the reds relationship back together. I don’t know though.

What I really wanted to discuss with you was Butch. Brick has changed. We all canes it but has Butch beyond giving up his list for other women? I’m not so sure that he has. He is still more than willing to go with Brick and live that life. Of course he is. He’s a green but I just don’t see that he’s changed anymore than Boomer has. Thoughts?

Oooh, you got some really interesting predictions. I didn’t even think about how Him would factor in to this whole catastrophe. You’re right that He’s going to come stir things up

Honesty tho, I’m kind of opposite your opinion. I think Butch is the only one of the boys who’s had any improvement

Brick has obviously changed. Chapter 1 Brick NEVER would’ve done what he did last chapter. I’m hesitant to say that he’s gotten better because Brick doesn’t see himself as better. In his mind, Brick is still the biggest baddest guy there is. I really don’t know how he justifies his good deeds to himself. I truly think he just ignores it. Because Brick still considers himself as capable of big, evil acts, he would go through with them. Brick won’t improve until he realizes that he has

That the opposite of Boomer’s problem. Boomer ignores that he hasn’t actually changed. He thinks of himself as good. Boomer can’t improve until he realizes he’s bad and Brick can’t improve until he realizes he’s good

Now let’s talk about my main man Butch. Maybe my love for Butch is blinding me from the truth, but I don’t think so. Butch was absolutely intolerable at the beginning of the story. Like wow he had the shittiest personality around. The Butch we have now is light years apart from who he was

Butch’s lust for other women has diminished, if not completely vanished. Last chapter, he only brought up Blossom’s beauty as a joke. I think even he sees now how ridiculous his obsession with her was. It’s been several chapters since he last hit on her. Any time he brings up another girl, it’s really just to get a rise out of Buttercup, but it’s obvious he only has eyes for Buttercup.

His out of control violence has been gone for a while. The last time it happened was when he beat up the guy who sexually harassed Buttercup, but buttercup was egging him on. He loved chasing down the mugger last chapter, but he never lost control and did something super uncalled for. His violence was probably just really pent up sexual frustration that got released two chapters ago, so now that rage is nowhere to be found

Butch is different from his brothers because he doesn’t consider himself good or evil. He’s too simpleminded for that. Butch just does whatever sounds good at the time

I’ve been sitting on this realization for over a week now. I just didn’t know how to properly express it in words

Omg anon I love you too 💕

I’ve already talked about how I want Blossom to come into her own self more, so I won’t repeat it here

But wow oh wow do I want to talk more about Boomer. I feel like the fandom’s love of the green’s and red’s drama sometimes causes the blues to get forgotten, but I really think the blues are the ones that are about to turn the story on its head.

Chapter 15 made it apparent that Boomer really hasn’t changed since he arrived in Townsville. As of right now, Boomer is still someone who is ready to get into fights at the drop of a hat and is going to follow Brick back to JS. This was made clear with how he wanted to lose their powers to train for JS, how chaotically he took down those burglars, and how he jumped out of the shower to go confront Sanjay while wearing nothing but a towel. Boomer did not hesitate to go fight Sanjay. He never took the time to think whether or not it was a good idea. The only reason he didn’t was because Bubbles was there.

Boomer is still the same boy that fought Will over Bubbles and the same boy who destroyed the cheer uniforms. Those events probably happened over 10 chapters ago, and you would think Boomer would’ve developed past them, but he hasn’t. Boomer has been ignoring his past self while dating Bubbles, but he truly hasn’t confronted who he is and who he needs to be. Boomer hasn’t had any active improvement.

If there’s anything I know about MTH, it’s that a lot can happen in one chapter. I truly think the blues are going to break up next chapter (sorry guys I hope I’m wrong). Boomer is going to do or try to do something terrible to Sanjay. This is going to make Bubbles realize that she’s been ignoring Boomer’s flaws. Bubbles is emotionally mature and intuitive. She knows that it’s not her job to fix Boomer and that the only one who can fix him is himself. Bubbles is going to tell him that they are going to go on a break or breaking up until Boomer gets himself together.

A blues breakup would have a massive impact on the rest of the siblings. The blue’s relationship was the main driving force that started bringing them all together in the first place. The siblings are immediately going to take sides because the breakup will cause massive pain to both Bubbles and Boomer. I can see Butch saying something rude about Bubbles when he sees how hurt Boomer is, which will cause Buttercup to get pissed off at him. The red’s relationship is heavily dependent on the stability of the blues and greens, once those two are thrown out of balance, both Brick’s and Blossom’s protective instincts will kick in and they’ll start arguing.

Basically I think we’re gonna feel like we’re back at square one

But if we know anything about the greens, they forgive each other just as quickly as they get angry with each other. Once those two make up, the reds will too.

Okay to summarize: I think the blues are going to break up, it is going to cause chaos, but it is going to be okay

Now let’s talk about how the blues are going to get BACK together. The breakup is going to be the slap in the face that Boomer needs to see the light.
