#cranium command buzzy

He DOES come close to getting it, only for his palm to be turned incorrectly. Even though it’s easy to miss, it adds so much to his character having him completely blow it.

Buzzy

Buzzy is from the extinct attraction Cranium Command as well as the former mascot for the Wonders of Life pavilion as a whole. He was the main character from Cranium Command. He was clumsy and awkward and showed up late for the first day of training, causing his superior, General Knowledge, to become angry with him. Buzzy begged General Knowledge to allow him a seat in Cranium Command and so he is assigned to a pubescent boy, Bobby, and has to help him through his day dealing with bullies, romantic feelings and play fighting. Once the day is done, it was considered a success and Buzzy proved himself to General Knowledge.

When the attraction shut down in January 2007, the Wonders of Life pavilion was left abandoned and Cranium Command with it. The attraction stayed this way until July 2018 when Buzzy’s clothing was stolen and then Buzzy himself in November 2018, leaving behind hydraulic oil. It was claimed by an urban explorer that the Buzzy and Hypothalamus animatronics has been tagged and moved to storage, however this was not the case. A Cast Member by the name of Patrick Spikes who posted on social media under the handle BackDoorDisney was fired and later arrested arrested for selling stolen Disney Parks items on the black market. For stealing wigs, dresses and other items from The Haunted Mansion he received ten years probation and 250 hours of community service. Despite maintaining his innocence, according to his arrest report, he stole Buzzy’s clothing and sold it to an NBA player, Robin Lopez. Spikes remains the prime suspect for Buzzy’s theft as he repeatedly tweeted images of Buzzy’s head.

Buzzy

-Buzzy listens to whatever’s on the radio. He always asks Bobby’s parents to turn it on in the car, and makes an effort to say something good about everything that plays. He really likes what they did with hyper and indie pop in the 2000s and he has a great time playing certain songs on repeat.

The only thing he doesn’t really like is loud music, yet he’ll tolerate it if someone he cares for wants to listen to it.

Cortex

-In the ‘90s, Cortex was ABSOLUTELY listening to dad butt-rock; and when I say “listening”, I mean, “face-down in the command center, sobbing to Nickelback and Creed”.

In the early 2000s, however, someone dropped an MP3 player with My Chemical Romance’s debut album on it in the queue. The second he got his hands on it, it was over. The emo / post-hardcore phase was immediate.

(His favorite song since 2018 has been “The Ghost of You”)

Sito

-Extreme metal. She doesn’t do it to look cool or dupe unsuspecting others into listening to it, it’s genuinely something she enjoys and appreciates. She prioritizes instrumentals over lyricism, so those distinct riffs are primarily what keep her coming back to the genre for more.

Surprisingly, she also doesn’t mind country music in the slightest. Despite being raised in Texas, she never got tired of hearing it. She really appreciates the acoustic guitar and people who know how to play the banjo correctly.

Trousdale

Trousdale is a massive EDM + club remix person. It reminds him of his days spent piloting frat boys, where he spent weeks on end going to raves, toilet-papering houses and crashing random parties. Play him some Skrillex and he’ll probably start doing backflips.

(Unbeknownst to his comrades, he’s also a DJ. He doesn’t have anywhere to demonstrate his abilities when he’s around them, so he doesn’t see the point in bringing it up.)

Neo + Hypothalamus

-Neo and Hypothalamus both listen to classical + orchestra music akin to that one Samsung ringtone almost every single person over 70 has (https://youtu.be/k9_We6518SE).

Hypothalamus is very reserved about it, and is extremely well-educated regarding the genre as a whole. He knows what he’s talking about, and is often respected for it. On the contrary, Neo boasts and brags about it like it’s the best thing ever and all other music is trash.

Burton

-Burton listens to everything because he’s Burton.

Mainstream pop, hip-hop, classical, rap, rock, R&B, bachata, J-Pop, K-Pop, folk, throat singing, chanting, country, yodeling; you name it, he likes it, and he’s always willing to discover more. If anyone appreciates art on the Cranium Command, it’s him.

General Knowledge

Music distracts him from getting his work done, so therefore he finds it annoying.

However, this doesn’t mean he’s against it as a whole; he’s very glad it exists and is fully aware of the amount of talent it requires; that is, until it’s the Cranium Command marching band (Which IS a thing in my AU; that’s where the pre-show chant came from).

Blondetex would be Jack(son). In reality, that comes from the close friend I modeled his personality after. But in universe? He’d trace it back to “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. What can he say? He loves the holidays. (Reference “The Oh of Pleasure”)

General Knowledge would be Knolan Senior. Zero hesitation behind it, it’d come to him immediately. However, he’d refuse to use it when alone with the commandos. It’s either General Knowledge or 50 push-ups.

Hypothalamus would immediately try to name himself Hamlet. The commandos would try to get him to change it to something less brooding and melodramatic, only for Tex to jump in and rename him Harry.
