One of my favorite things about Timmy has always been how sensitive / anxious he is about certain things (i.e. "Hey! You can't say 'Moron' on the radio!"), especially knowing Chloe has a fouler mouth, but gets censored, and I just rewatched "The Good Old Days" and-
Timmy being stunned by his first exposure to "super graphic and gratuitous, yet non-imitable" cartoon violence just gets to me for some reason, sdflkj.
Every now and then, I'm reminded that his dad hovered over him 24/7 until he was 8 and I'm like... "Oh yeah, he was super sheltered and went directly from that into long-term Vicky torments, and now that he's 10 he's gradually getting space and still figuring out what his new normal is."
He watches Captain Green and the Eco-Teens!! He likes Kissy-Kissy Goo-Goo and Maho Mushi!! He's used to glowing swords and laser beams and superpowers! You can't just toss him into a violent hand-to-hand combat show like that!! smh...
Also, I just checked my facts by rewatching some of "Abracatastrophe" and ?? Timmy getting super defensive when he finds out Cosmo and Wanda messed with his dreams... He's instantly upset and asks "So you lied to me?" I know later in the episode, he lashes out when he realizes his parents often lie to him, but to Cosmo and Wanda? Over dreams he was enjoying? hey. what. Deep-seeded trust issues...
I checked "Channel Chasers" for the spelling of Maho Mushi and I like how 18-year-old Timmy has the same shirt and jacket combo as the older brother he wished up in "Oh, Brother..." and in A New Wish, Peri has a similar double swoop in his mullet to 11-year-old Timmy, but Timmy's was longer in the top swoop and Peri's is longer in the bottom swoop <3
