I'm going to make my first original post to make an observation about the BBRAE episode I haven't seen anyone else make.

When Beast Boy says the flowers are for Raven, there's a tiger sound effect in the background. The exact same sound effect is used during their first kiss, two seasons earlier:

Chapter 4

Hello everyone! New Tuesday, which means new Chooseday!

Last week's winning choice was path C. Try to find Teyla.

Quick Recap: Teyla visited you in your cell and has treated you like a human instead of a prisoner, even thanking you for not attacking when you could have. You feel a sort of connection with her. When there's an explosion, her and your prison guard go to check out the scene, leaving you alone when the power fails and you find your way out of your cage.

In Enemy Hands: Chapter Four

The power fails. The cell is unlocked. You step out into the dark room and begin to move.

You have to find Teyla. She was kind to you- at the very least she may not shoot you on sight.

The darkness causes no problems for you. It’s as if your eyes were built to see in low light, which is both curious and concerning. You know you’re different, but not how far the differences go. Perhaps Teyla can see in the dark as well? All you know is that humans typically are not built for low light…but why do you know that?

You shake the thoughts away, and move silently through the corridors. There are no guards that you can see or scent, but the hallways are not devoid of lifesigns. There are scent trails of fear. You open your mouth to get a better grasp of it, but you can taste the gunpowder and sharp zing of blaster fire in the air. Explosives, a stench that you can only describe as bloodied and organic…almost like sinew and mucus. Not rotten, but not pleasant either.

And fear. The fear is so strong you could practically see it coating the walls of Atlantis. The city powered down, its warm lights suddenly cold and empty- some were just off, others were shot out, pieces of glass and shattered panels broken on the floor.

It isn’t long until you come across your first body. .

A soldier you don't recognize until you lean down to see his face. The guard that was watching your cell. There’s a large hole in his stomach, blood oozing from his uniform.

You lick your lips. You’re hungry again.

Standing up, you almost move on, before you bend over and grab his gun. It feels light- lighter than whatever it is you’re used to…if only you knew what that was. You easily (too easily?) take the clip out and check for bullets. Empty. What a waste.

You drop the useless weapon and continue on, stepping lightly through the carnage.

More blaster burns and bullet holes. Shattered panels and broken doors. What happened here? The next room you see is much larger, a cafeteria of sorts, where it looked like the door was barricaded, but breached most explosively.

Only a few bodies, so it seems like most made it out, but the few that remain are in bad shape. Well. They’re dead. The ‘bad shape’ is dead.

As you’re about to leave this crime scene behind, you hear something. One of the soldiers? Still alive perhaps? You rush over to her, and realize she is long gone, but it’s her radio that’s still crackling with sound.

“-small team in the jumper bay and a team holding the gate room. Gate’s inactive without power, but we don’t know how long-” the message cuts out again. It sounds like John, quickly barking updates to any soldiers left. “Shit- two more darts incoming-”

“Colonel?” Someone else replies. You instantly feel that it is Teyla. “I am with Ronan. We are on our way to the jumpers.”

. There’s another buzz that you can’t make out.

Where is the jumper bay? Surely if this is an attack, Teyla could use your help? Not that she can’t take care of herself…but. No, you will help. You want to help.

You shove the radio in your ear and run. You aren’t sure where you’re going, but if you follow the scents of weapons fire and the sounds of the fighting, surely you’ll find someone, right?

…

As it turns out, your strategy is a good one. The jumper bay is where most of the loud noises are coming from- once you were able to pick up Teyla’s scent it was easy to track her down.

Staying out of sight was a bit harder.

The jumper bay was a sort of garage for small, cylinder-esque pods, not very aerodynamic and most certainly not built for speed, you thought, but they were space-craft of a sort. And the entrance you found to the bay was on the opposite side, facing a group of green-ish, greyish men, all with long white hair and a hard-membrane of a mask covering their faces. They carried wraith weaponry, and you knew these were the wraith.

It’s apparent their senses were significantly better than yours, cocking their heads every time they heard a noise and raising their faces to the air to catch a scent, even through those chitinous masks.

Even crouching behind the southern bay doors, it was risky to get any closer. Much less see if any of the soldiers you came to help were even inside. Was Teyla even here?

You get closer, moving ever so slowly, creeping beyond an open jumper, just to see what you can of the group of wraith. A few of them are going through to each jumper and blasting out the control panels inside, while the others remain and stay watching over a group of soldiers on the floor. It looked like the humans’ hands are zip-tied together and their weapons removed.

. From what you can tell, Teyla and Ronon are not part of the captives, which is a relief. Until a piercing scream rings out.

One of the wraith has his hand on a soldier’s chest. He screams in terror, or perhaps just pain, and you see him age before your very eyes. His life essence, drawn out and consumed by the wraith touching him.

Your hand aches as you watch, twitching, uncontrollably, mouth watering as you see this creature getting his fill. That’s what you crave. You can see it so clearly now. You’re starving for the life of that soldier.

Blinking hard, you try to shake the predatory feeling. What was that? What just came over you?

You don’t have time to register what’s wrong with you, when you feel a gun pressed up against your temple.

“Move and I shoot.”

So much for helping.

A. Do as they say. B. Try to disarm your attacker. C. Try to roll away from the gun.

Chapter 3

Hello everyone! New Tuesday, which means new Chooseday!

Last week's winning choice was path C. Remain in the cell. This is the time to collect information and plan your escape.

Quick Recap: The team has taken you back to their base of operations and put you in yet another cell. They expect you to talk- or something, but your memory remains the same…or does it? When being medically examined, you get flashes of faces- the faces of your newfound captors, but flashes of wraith equipment and a dirty laboratory too.

The cell is open and now is your chance- this is not where you want to be. You look at Keller, as she gently draws the needle from your arm. This could be the last chance you have…but a part of you decides to wait. You remain in the cell. This is the time to collect information to plan an escape. Rushing into a fight won’t do you any good now. You’re weak, confused, and John and Rodney are right there. How far could you realistically go?

You look at Keller, her eyes patient, with a small scent of fear wafting from her.

“What have you done to me?” You ask.

She looks like she can’t wait to jump away from you- as if she had been holding her breath this entire time. “Oh, uh…” She composes herself ever so slightly. “This will curb your hunger. Hopefully this will help with the pain you’re feeling.”

She was telling the truth, but her heart was beating so fast it was hard to tell if she wasn’t omitting a few things as well. An anxious heartbeat, although that didn’t instantly mean she was a liar. You tilt your head at her, trying to get a better look at her features. She’s very soft-looking. If there was anyone here to be sympathetic to your plight, it would be her. .

But she’s on her feet before you can speak further, as if she can’t get away from you fast enough.

“Why are you afraid of me?” Your voice is quieter than you intended. “Were you not the ones who hurt me?”

She glances back at you as the door to the cell closes, but she doesn’t respond, as if she is pretending that she didn’t hear you.

John gives you a long, hard look. “Something to say?”

You stay silent.

The commander stares for a moment longer, before leading the doctor and Rodney out of the room, the guard who was already present, watching them leave.

…

It doesn’t take long before you have another visitor. It is the stern warrior from before, Teyla. She glances at the guard and waves him off, and he steps a few feet away from the cage, before she approaches you.

Her eyes have an unflinching quality about them. She is not afraid of you, but she is wary of you. She is taut, ready to spring like a stealth predator, but not unreasonable; waiting for an offense, or for you to make the first move. She has not come here to fight. Yet. .

“I have heard your thoughts.” She begins. “You lack the ability to shield them. Or rather, you do not remember how.”

This catches you off-guard. Your thoughts? What has she heard? “What are you?”

“What are you?” She repeated.

“I am human.”

She’s quiet for a long moment. “Do you feel human?”

There’s something about Teyla…She doesn’t fear you. Not like Keller had. But this conversation doesn’t have the outward hostility that John and Ronon had shown you. What is she doing? What is the point of this? “Is this an interrogation?”

“No.” She replies, sitting down, crosslegged on the floor in front of the cell. “We are simply having a conversation.”

“Because this is a poor interrogation.”

She smiles a bit at that. “Then it is a good thing this is not an interrogation.” .

Teyla remains quiet for a moment longer, before she looks at you with confusion. “I sensed that you wanted to fight. To escape when Dr. Keller came to visit you. And you chose not to.”

You say nothing.

“May I ask why?” “I am biding my time. Collecting information about you and your kind.”

“Our kind?” Teyla tilts her head, cocking her eyebrow ever so slightly. “I thought you said you were human?”

“I…” You blink rapidly and look at the floor. “I am…confused. I see things that are…human in my mind, but I also see…things that are of wraith design and it… I can’t make sense of it.”

Teyla nods sagely. “That must be very difficult.”

You know what she’s doing. You know that she’s playing you, or maybe playing on your emotions and trying to sympathize with you, but…part of you can’t help but find that it’s nice. To have someone at least pretend to care about your plight. That you’ve woken up in a strange place with no memory or friends. .

“Thank you.” Teyla continues. “For not attacking when you could have.”

You open your mouth to respond when the guard’s radio goes off, and you can hear it from the corner. “Code Three! All available personnel to control tower-”

Teyla shoots up to a standing position, faster than you thought she could move, “What is it?”

The guard shakes his head and begins to jog from the room, with Teyla close on his heels, glancing back at you as they leave, “What about him?”

“He’s locked in there. This is priority.”

Teyla looks unsure, but follows, leaving you alone.

…

A few agonizing minutes of silence pass, before there’s a large explosion somewhere in the base. The force of it rocks the walls around you, and for a moment, everything stills…until you hear a great hum and heave as the machinery of the city gives one last dying breath.

The power fails. The cell is unlocked. You step out into the dark room and begin to move.

A. Try to find a weapon. B. Try to find the Stargate. C. Try to find Teyla.

Barbara: Hmm?

Steph: So- you’ve never like actually been a titans member have you???

Babs: No, I have not, why???

Steph: Did you know that you actually have to type the tower passcode in to the tune?

Babs: …what?

Steph: Cus I did NOT know this, and no one thought to warn me until I was already stuck-

Babs: -Steph, what tune?

Steph: oh Yknow: ‘Be be be-be beh buh bu bu be buh bu’🎶

Babs:

Steph: The tune

10 years ago the Teen Titans GO! x The Powerpuff Girls quarter-hour special "TTG v PPG" premiered on The Cartoon Network!

And @chrisbattleart did the PPG 2016 reboot ABSOLUTE JUSTICE

The last time @cartoonnetwork reran TTG v PPG was March 17, 2019 while the Haley Mancini-era episodes of The Powerpuff Girls was still running - its negative reception is probably why PPG 2016 and thus TTG v PPG don't rerun anymore, yet other Teen Titans GO! episodes reference the special that you can no longer watch on CN but is still available on DVD.

Fun fact: The CW special Scooby-Doo Where Are You Now? (2021) reused assets from that special, and Buttercup has a speaking role in it!

fr though Chris Battle's layouts in TTG v PPG are the most flawless things to ever come out of the PPG 2016 reboot — I tend to forget the difference in how Mojo Jojo's clothes used to look

These poses are so Craig McCracken-y to me that they're giving me a bit of Wander Over Yonder vibes even... I regret that he's no longer on Twitter AKA X due to political matters apparently, but he's still on Tumblr as @crackmccraigen !

The animation community knows very little behind the scenes about PPG 2016, but they know even less about the making of "TTG V PPG".

I mean Kristen Li and Tara Strong (the main voice of Bubbles) in the same recording booth — what if they swapped line readings with each other???

Chapter 2

Hello everyone! New Tuesday, which means new Chooseday!

Last week's winning choice was path C: “I don’t know anything.”

Quick Recap: The team that found you released the other captives but found you highly suspicious; you have no idea why. John, Ronon, Rodney, and Teyla have proven to be less than friendly, but for the moment, they aren’t going to kill you. They think you know something, but you’ve told them all you remember.

In Enemy Hands- Chapter 2

content warnings for needles and laboratory imagery.

“What do you know about Michael?” John asks, gruffly.

You bite your lip, but decide to answer truthfully. “ I don’t know anything.” You have never heard that name before. Just another word that means nothing to you in the useless soup that is your memories.

Ronon raises his gun again, this time aimed at your face. He’s staring at you with a hatred you didn’t think was possible of a complete stranger. But he waits. His hand is taught, the muscles in his arm clenched so hard you think he might hurt himself, yet he waits…waits for John’s order.

“John,” Teyla says quietly. “I feel he is speaking the truth.” The commander looks from Teyla to you, sizing you up.

The silence grows uncomfortable before finally John slings his gun aside and pulls out a stretch of rope. “Alright. You’re coming with us.” .

“What?” You reply, as the rope is secured around your body- John instructing you not to move, and Ronon stepping an inch closer as John continued to restrain your arms to your side.

“You might not remember now, but soon, you will. And then, I want to know everything you know.”

“Are we sure this is a good idea?” Rodney says looking around, “The location of-,”

“Is already compromised if he’s an agent of Michael’s.” John finishes for him.

“And if he’s not?”

“Then we’ll kill him or dump him somewhere without a stargate.” John shrugged, finished up the job, then gesturing for Ronon to help carry you up and out of the prison. Ronon was NOT gentle.

They dragged you back to the stargate, and it was already dialed up when you got there- Rodney having jogged ahead to dial it through so you wouldn’t see the address. You are roughly pushed through- and out the other side. .

It’s not a pretty sight.

The room itself is outfitted with burgundy metals and beautiful ancient carvings, set to a large clearing where the gate opens up to a sort of sleek operations room. It’s clearly ancient design, and there are windows beyond that allow you to see the cool blue sky- much nicer than the gray, murky planet you have just arrived from. However, what puts a damper on all the intricate architecture is the squad of men aiming guns at you as soon as you enter. As if being tied up wasn’t enough.

A wave of nausea hits you as the squad begins to move you- you’ve got this horrible deja-vu, a sense of ‘repeating’ as you look around the room. Have you been here before? Have you met these people? These…Lanteans? How do you know that?

“Hey!” Someone shouts as you fall to the floor, unable to keep your balance, and there’s a flurry of footsteps, but your vision goes blurry.

…

You come to again in a perfectly square cell with thick steel-like bars around every edge. The decorative interior of the main hall is gone, replaced by gray walls and a force-field around the steel beams. There’s at least one other guard in the room with you- on the other side of the cage, of course.

It seems you have just traded one jailer for another. .

The nausea hasn’t left you, and the guard looks startled as you double over in pain. There’s nausea, and hunger. Your stomach is aching- as if it is desperate to start tearing into itself- as if that would help satiate the need that you feel to fill this hole within you.

Why isn’t the guard helping? Why is he just sitting there watching another human starve in agony?

“Please…” You heard yourself murmur. “I am so hungry…anything will do.”

The guard stares for a moment longer, before he radios someone. Someone named “Sheppard” and “Keller.”

In a few moments, John reappears, with Rodney, and a woman who has the scent of chemicals and antiseptic about her- with a slight whiff of illness- although you are sure she isn’t ill herself. A doctor, you surmise, relieved that the guard took you seriously and you may actually be getting some medical attention.

. “Alright,” John sighs. ‘What seems to be the problem here, Gary?”

Rodney cocks an eyebrow at him, “Gary?”

John just shrugs, “What? You don’t like it?”

Rodney looks like he’s about to start in on a talking point, but you interrupt- “Can you help me? There’s something wrong- I…I don’t feel well.”

“We know.” John Sheppard doesn't change the look on his face, and Rodney looks squeamish, staring here at you- quickly averting his eyes to his tablet, looking at whatever was displayed there. Keller’s eyebrows pinch in guilt and pity- she cares about you- or at least what you’re going through, it seems.

“What’s the problem? Can you tell me?” She asks, her voice unsteady, but patronizing, as if she were talking to a child or perhaps trying to calm an angry animal.

You frown. “My stomach. I am so hungry.” Your arm had started to hurt as well- a spot just beneath your elbow, with strange track marks going up the vein- it was throbbing and pulsing the longer you stayed curled up on the floor, clutching your knees.

“Okay. Sure.” She replies, absently. She’s got something in her hands. She fiddles with it for a moment before she continues, trying hard not to make eye contact with you, “I have something that will help but I have to get close to you.”

You stay completely still and give a small nod. Rodney swallows loudly, nervously- his scent is ripe with fear, as he types away on his little device to open the door. It unlatches and opens, the pain field around it deactivating.

John stays rigid, holding a wraith stunning rifle at his side- wait, a what? How do you know? Even just thinking about the odd gun at his side hurts your head- and you remain seated when the Keller woman steps in to approach you, John’s gun aimed at you the entire time.

”This might sting a little.” Keller is holding your arm, looking at the track marks- you were distracted by the- the what? Memory? As she injects you with a relatively small needle, right among the other track marks.

. ||The sight of the needle forces another flurry of images to the forefront of your mind. Needles. Tubes, a sickly, cloudy liquid that wormed through the straws of the machine you were hooked up to-|| beeping and a voice…then you saw their faces- you remembered these people. Ronon, Teyla, Rodney, John. The way they strapped you down and forced you to undergo these treatments…something’s wrong here.

These flashes are too jostled, they don’t make sense. You’ve never been to Atlantis before- you’ve never known any of these humans, and yet…where had they taken you? A dirty lab with all sorts of wraith equipment, filling you with strange drugs to- to what? Starve you? Poison you? Had they done this to you?

Your eyes snap open and you are full of fear and anger. You have been abused. John was there. Rodney was there. The cell is open and now is your chance- this is not where you want to be.

A. Shove Keller at John and make a run for it. You could try to make it back to the gate. B. Wrench your arm around Keller’s neck and hold her to your chest as a protective shield. C. Remain in the cell. This is the time to collect information and plan your escape.
