YYY More Like WhYYY

and the reason he took the lengths he took to restore Yuck's body and power was because he saw that same woo foo renegade spirit in him and thought it would be a shame to deny him his chance at revenge

Ah yes! I remember that one! I have a similar headcanon regarding his involvement with Woo Foo, because I mean... he'd have to have SOME sort of background in it to have taught Yin and Yang anything regarding it, right? It's a little different than this, but the roots are there!

Yo: *Holding a puppy* I know, I know, it’s time for your aromatherapy, and for me to question my life choices

Yang: *scoffs* NOW he questions his life choices?

(This is a Jessie reference btw, another Disney show I remember)

Hm. Not familiar with Jessie. I mean I know of it, my younger sister watched it occasionally, but that's the extent of my knowledge: It exists. I was never particularly interested in the live-action Disney shows; they somehow felt even cheesier than the cartoons.

Indeed! Feel free to throw thoughts/scenarios at me. It’s like pulling the string in my back; makes me talk!

but if by any chance you DO read this, I want you to know I can't stop thinking about this canon divergence AU where coop wouldn't stop complaining about yuck dating yin as Brett to get his body back so the night master tries to get him to shut up by changing the Brett suit to a girl (Britney???) because Coop insists that Yin is straight so it should be fine.

Spoiler Alert: yin is NOT straight and this whole thing ends with Yuck realizing she's transfem actually. In this essay I will

I will come here to this blog of my own accord when the hyperfixation gods decide it's time to revisit YYY. But I am ALWAYS willing to come back if summoned! (Particularly if it's by you. as you are both my friend and I'm pretty sure the mayor of this fandom at this point; who am I to refuse a summons from the mayor?)

Woo Foo masters Yin and Yang have to train their brilliant-but-lazy student Yo to fight the forces of evil. He’s massively talented in a technical sense (he can master pretty much any move Yin or Yang tries to teach him in a few tries), but his willingness to actually use any of those moves to fight evil is… low. For the most part, he’s far more interested in using them to show off. (…ugh unless someone’s really in trouble, then he’ll mobilize. But expect a lot of childish griping once the danger’s passed!)

The Night Master Yo first has to face is Yuck, the ancient archnemesis of his two masters (kind of bolstered by the fact that they kinda created him when they were students). Instead of embodying darkness, Yuck’s preferred niche seems to be death? He’s got a grim reaper aesthetic going nowadays, anyway - no one really knows what that’s about. His ultimate goal might even be to turn everything undead.

So I got this ask [checks watch] four years ago; seems as good a time as any to finally answer it, yeah?

As it presently stands, Anon (if you're still around, please forgive me for my eternal sluggishness), there's not a continuation for this particular fic, no. At least not one that exists outside of my head. I had plans for one, though! I wanted to re-write the finale of season 1, albeit this time with Yuck helping out the Woo Fools (because THAT'S HIS GIRLFRIEND, and he's gonna be there for her come hell or high water dammit!!) all while STILL trying to keep their relationship a secret from Yang.

Meanwhile Yo's getting the Woo Foo drained out of him by his boyfriend (heh moment to immaturely snicker at the euphemism I just accidentally created); said boyfriend is treading a weird line of like... apologizing, because the process clearly isn't comfortable for Yo, but also being like "look we agreed I'd still be doing this, don't be mad at me just because you miscalculated and now you can't do anything about it! look at it this way: you'll finally get that retirement you wanted! this is good! once this is all over I'll get you a pretzel or something and you can turn in early, don't look at me like that-!"

Opinions: Overwhelmingly positive. Befitting a show who's main characters are named after the symbol of duality, I think they'd compliment each other wonderfully. This even extends to a visual sense, considering they're both primarily black and white, with complimentary accents (green and red). Also I'm trash for an enemies-to-lovers dynamic.

Headcanons: I've got a couple from meme asks, one where I go off the rails theorizing about Yin and Yang's parentage, and then this isn't technically a headcanon or strictly for the ship, but I think it fits. (For this being probs my fave ship for this show, after going through my blog to find stuff I'm realizing I don't talk about it much).
