Robo Rogers would understand that Mr Roger's soul is in heaven, and that he should try to live the best life he can while he's here.
because this isn't a Resurrection. It's modeling potential sapient life on the kindest soul we know

which should have approval <3 It'd be odd to make multiple of them, as it would be odd to make multiples of any robo-doppel.

Yeah no, even if we became able to sorta mass produce Doppelgangers, Mr. Botgers would remain unique...it wouldn´t be fair to his legacy otherwise.

Sure, just like we let Xanatos upstage us by putting a castle on top of a skyscraper while we put ours on the ground. We are not required to imitate what other kings do.

Since we got a relatively positive business relationship with David and got tipps from him, it´s not a competition compared to with Syndrome.

Synrdome is/was our Enemy, so that makes things a competition.

Xanatos is "only" our Rival - sometimes bordering on ally/friend/partner -, so we are simply "exchanging notes", so to speak.

Syndrome is a bit too dead to make a good nemesis. We win any competition by default because we weren't murdered by our own robot.
 
A Melancholy Refrain
A Melancholy Refrain


It was a surprisingly quiet day at DEI, no explosions or manic rants, instead it was replaced by a somber mood many would think odd for such a infamously zany company, that is, unless you knew what day it was...

The anniversary of the death of the boss's nemesis, Perry the Platypus...

Even if most of the employees had ever met Perry Dr. Doofenshmirtz's sadness got through to them, and even the most callous of the team didn't dare try to break the atmosphere. In fact the doctor was barely seen throughout the entire day, wearing a cearly forced smile the entire time as he robotically went about his work, never stopping to talk to anyone. The team as growing worried when he seemed to freeze up during lunch and left without a word, nobody's seen him since. Even LOVEMUFFIN was worried enough to stop working/grumbling to help look for him.

They searched the building top to bottom with no sign of him, and it wasn't until Monogram had an idea that they were able to track him down. He was in the park, at the Perry the Platypus Memorial, sitting on a bench and simple looking up at it with a defeated look on his face. Nobody else was in the park due to a light drizzle but Dr. D did not notice their approach, seemingly caught up in his own thoughts as he clutched something in his hands.

"I wish..." He started, before choking something back. "I wish it could have been different, I keep trying but I know... I know I'll never be able to make up for what I did..."

He places the item down next to him before standing and walking over to the statue. He traces his hands across the engraving and fights back some more tears.

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?

The words begin quiet before breaking out into a proper song, the musical backing seeming to fade into existence with the song. A slow and mournful tune as the doctor continues, not noticing his employees spying on him from a short ways aways.

Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air,
Send in the clowns

It's different from his usual musical numbers, slow and quiet, those watching feel as tho they're intruding upon something they shouldn't be, something private and precious. Yet as much ass they wish to they can't bring themselves to stop listening.

Isn't it bliss,
Don't you approve?

The rain begins to pick up, yer strangely enough it didn't fall directly onto Doof, merely framing the performance, as it the weather itself wished to see the song. Some of the viewers began to feel themselves start to tear up, Hego had already begun crying.

One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move

He looks up to the statue, as if waiting for it to respond to him before continuing.

Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns

The music begins to pickup as Doof leaps up onto the statue, grabbing onto it and using to to dance around as he begins his next verse.

Just when I stopped
Opening doors

Slowly the powers of flashbacks begin as the viewers begin to see flashes of Perry and Doofenshmirtz as they first met, soon followed by various traps and battles.

Finally knowing
The one that I wanted was yours

The flashbacks continue to more personal moments, helping to create a birthday party, moments when one comforted the other. When they were sad when one of them seemed to move passed the other.

Making my entrance again
With my usual flair

Suddenly the flashbacks stop as Doofenshmirtz drops down and looks away from the memorial, tears once more in his eyes.

Sure of my lines
No one is there

He begins to walk away from the statue, the music grew quieter as he did so, the next verse barely a whisper yet still clearly audible to all who could hear.

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear

Another flashback, another fight between the two, only something seems wrong this time, time seems to slow down as the sound of something being pushed could be heard.

I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear

An explosion rocked the lab, the veteran members of staff able to recognise it as a room near the top, one Doofenshmirtz refused to let anyone enter, the flashback cuts to black, but it doesn't end.

But where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns

The color returns as the smoke fades, Dr. D wakes with a start as he begins to search the rubble for any sign of his nemesis... Ending just as he finds a bloodied hand lying limp.

Don't bother
They're here

A flash of lightning cut though the darkening area, showing a flash of rage on Dr. D's face before it shifted into soul-crushing despair, his voice shifting once more to sadness and beginning to crack as he said the second line.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?

He returns to his spot on the bench as the rain finally begins to close in, soaking the doctor's clothes as he stares into the purple and green sky.

Losing my timing this late
In my career

He holds the item he was clutching up and the viewers were finally able to get a good look at it underneath the lamplight, a damaged little brown fedora the the man held close.

Where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year

Then the dam broke, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz clutched the hat to his chest and began to cry, morning the life of a dear enemy, and a dearer friend...

Nobody had the heart to interrupt him...



Not enough songs in this quest, and I was in a bit of a sad mood. The song is Send in the Clowns.

Not enough songs in this quest, and I was in a bit of a sad mood. The song is Send in the Clowns.

Maybe not in this quest, but the show itself does have a song that shows the very unique relationship Doof and Perry have/had.



Or for a version sung by Dr. D himself:



So yeah, while Doof and Perry were nemeses, they also - and more importantly were *best friends* in a weird way...And your omake nicely portrays the absolute emptiness and crushing guild Doof feels after having accidently gotten Perry killed.

...Now that I think about it:

@Made in Heaven what happened to Perrys collar pendant containing photos of him, Phineas and Ferb? Did Doof find it and keep it, did he send it to his "owners" or was it forgotten amidst the chaos and buried with him?
 
*Wakes up*

*Sees responses*

*Rereads Omake-Inator??? text*

Oh. I think I see the problem with how I worded it. Oops.

Should I go back and edit it?
 
Also - while it´s not explicitly stated - I consider it obvious that the unidentified item Doof carries along during that omake is supposed to be Perrys fedora.
 
@MrHobbit I would like to apologize for dropping my part in the conversation. I intended to come back a few hours later when I was free, but then a bunch of personal stuff came up and I didn't really have the time to dedicate here. It was quite disrespectful, and I am sorry.
Fact: I started watching Owl House. I now understand why there was a riot over Summoning Demons...

And wish that Owl House could be considered Canon to DVV. But there's not enough source material...

So alas, we will not be able to catch the slippery little fella, for he is covered in grease.
Owl House is canon. Eda cameod during the auction. There is just so little of it available that it will likely not be making an appearance beyond cameos. Amphibia also cameod at one point as well.
I encourage you to consider what a complete balkanization of the largest superpower on earth would mean, who you are surrounded by, and how things go for medium sized nations in the middle of a large plain when open warfare breaks out. Especially ones that can't achieve autarky because, you know, two and a half states.
Ah, but what if that is my evil plan! After all, did I not previously state my end-goal was to create a self-sufficient technological utopian state that doesn't require any area outside of the independent and sovereign state of Doofania to survive?! :p
We keep pounding in that 'become an actual monarch and take over the world!' is going to be a hard sell because, based on the way we see people talking about it, it feels like people do not understand how hard of a sell it is. And we want you to understand that, going in.
To be fair, I think the few people (myself included) that have stated intent to try to achieve sovereignty - though no one has seriously suggested taking over the world - know full well how difficult it is to achieve. Why pick an easy goal though? Goals are something you strive to achieve, and an easy goal just feels empty. I want to do something big and irrevocably world-changing! I don't want Doofania to just be the place of mad science. I want to write in the history books that we founded a whole new country! Sure it will be extremely difficult and we may not even achieve it, but I will be happy as long as a genuine effort is made. After all, fiction is a form in which hard-fought efforts can be made without personal sacrifice on the part of the audience. If so, then why not go for broke?
 
Lagoon Blues
Lagoon Blues

Lagoon wasn't quite sure what was going on with the place that the portal had deposited her. It was clearly Mobius. Anthropomorphic animals and humans, animals being used as slaves, the presence of robot minions. All the boxes were checked. And yet...

There was no Robotnik. People laughed at the name, asking if she was serious. No badniks. And the oppression was... strange. Zootopia wasn't oppressing all the organics, only predators. And the shock collars were rather restrained for the sort of roboticization she was used to. Roboticization existed, clearly. She'd been told that a roboticized 'Frank Sinatra' was running amok in 'Las Vegas,' but it wasn't widespread. Robot armies existed too. 'Gargoyles' in 'New York' which were based off of a species she had never heard about, 'Omnidroids' in 'Las Vegas' again, and 'Normbots' in 'Colorado'. And yet... it seemed that they all had fundamentally different creators and designs.

It was baffling.

So, this was Mobius, certainly, but clearly some sort of alternate mobius. One with much more humans, and a wider array of animals.

Perhaps she had travelled back in time? Was this what the world was like before Robotnik?

Well, however much the world had changed, the underworld was still the same. Finding it was easy. Getting out? Harder.

Still, she had nothing else to do in this world. No allies, no networks, no identification. Mr. Big was useful; cordial even. She preferred to be in business for herself, but that would require a greater degree of familiarity with the world, and how it operated. Mr. Big was a bit odd. Very polite, but also very particular about how his business was run. He didn't take well to suggestions that crossed what he thought of has 'the proper way to do things', but he didn't get upset at her for suggesting them, merely explaining why that they were a problem in that utterly calm, soft voice of his.

In many ways, he was a pleasure to have as a boss. he knew how to take care of employees, even a 'mere' book-keeper like Lagoon. Of course, no matter how good a boss Mr. Big was, it still chafed to have to work under someone else once more.

The most irritating thing for Lagoon was that she believed in Mr. Big's goals; stability, profit, and... he called it honor, but the actions he was taking? Smuggling predators out of Zootopia, rescuing those imprisoned, investigating what was causing the violent outbreaks? It wasn't about honor, it was about making sense of the world and bringing it in line with his own sense of justice.

Lagoon could understand that.

So for now? She balanced his books and suggested ideas to increase profits while achieving Mr. Big's aims. In the future? Lagoon didn't know. She might advance in the organization, or she might strike out and make her own once she got enough familiarity. Either way, one thing was certain, Lagoon wasn't about to let this mobius end up like hers.

The End.

This is my view, as well.

I want Doofania to eventually stand on its own as a sovereign nation, knowing that it's going to be very difficult to actually accomplish. Because getting Heinz Doofenshmirtz to carve out his own little country in the midst of shadowrunning, superpowers, and various apocalypses? That seems like something worth shooting for, a goal to be proud of.

Of course, in the end I want Doofenshmirtz to just keep conquering further and further, from the Tri-State Area to the US to the world to whatever lies up there in space, because his ambition is B O U N D L E S S :tongue:. But the first step to that is truly conquering the Tri-State Area by actually separating it from the US, which is why it's my long-term goal of choice right now.

So yeah, it'll be difficult, extraordinarily so, but it's something that I want to try and get done.
 
Cyd and Shelby's Bogus Journey
Cyd and Shelby's Bogus Journey

Cyd and Shelby remembered when life was normal. Well, normal-er, anyway. When Time travel and high school were the only things they needed to deal with.

That was important, because it seemed like Cyd and Shelby were the only ones who remembered when life was normal. Everyone else? For them Zootopia always existed, and they'd always lived on its borders.

They'd come from a timeline where cartoons were fictional and anthropomorphic animals didn't exist, and now? The whole world had changed. It couldn't have been anything they did. One moment they were jumping so that Cyd could enjoy her delicious breakfast waffles again, and the next they were at breakfast in a world that was completely different from the one they'd left. Oh, their day to day life wasn't all that much different, but there was a talking sea otter in their class now, sitting in a tiny chair at a tiny desk. Cyd wasn't the most observant of people, but she was pretty sure she would have remembered that.

Even Barry and Naldo didn't remember the original timeline. Barry was still trying to crack time travel, but if anything he was having even worse luck now than he had in their old timeline! Also, the rats that Barry and Naldo had exposed to "the good life" and set loose in the country club? They all talked too now, and were still living it up in Barry's RV/lab.

Now? Everywhere north of the Hood River was absolutely full of talking animals that walked on on their back legs and used their hands like humans. They even visited once when Astrid took the whole family to Bunnyburrow, which, despite the fact that it was just across the river from Portland, was apparently considered to be a suburb of "Zootopia," all to buy a month's supply of carrots from 'the usual place;' a farm run by a family of rabbits called the "Hopps."

Neither Cyd nor Shelby knew what had happened. It wasn't anything they'd done. They'd kept their time travelling short ever since they'd lost their fight with Janet Smythe, the CEO of Globo-Digi-Dyne. It was only through a stroke of luck that they'd escaped, and only because Shelby's father worked at the secret future lab that they'd managed to do so without Janet finding out who they were.

Of course, given that Janet had already managed to learn that time travel was possible from their last attempt to stop her in 1991, and the readings she'd managed to get off them in the future lab... Maybe Janet was responsible for the changes to the timeline?

It wasn't like they could stop her if she was.

Every since the timeline changed, their time travel powers had, warped. It was fine if they jumped within the same day, but any longer? Nothing happened. It wasn't even 'within 24 hours' either. It was specifically the same day, from Midnight until 11:59 AM, Pacific time. Within that period? All the time travel they could want! But try to go earlier? Or later? Nothing.

Barry and Naldo remembered their powers being stronger, at least. But that still didn't help any of their other issues.

Janet Smythe was still after them, and she had all the tools she needed to time travel. Or, maybe she'd had them before the changes? Shelby and Cyd couldn't exactly ask her, after all. Even if she didn't know their names, she definitely knew their faces. She was looking for them too. Shelby's father had been able to keep them apprised of what Janet's plans were. They had two months left before Janet started the next stage of her manhunt. Janet was releasing her Globo-Digi-Bots as a 'peace-keeping force.' Every single one equipped with tachyon sensors that would be able to identify Cyd and Shelby on sight. Once they hit the streets? There'd be nowhere to run.

They had to flee Portland, and soon. The only problem was... to where?

The End.
 
Going by the map, Portland is under the Zaibatsu's sphere of influence, not Bellwether's, though monsters like Man-Moth are known to leak from the Oregon Triangle.

Yeah, but here's the thing, on the map? That border is the Hood River. Globo-Digi-Dyne (which is in Portland) is a conglomerate. Presumably if the CMs wanted to make this canon, the Zaibatsu could gobble it up. But it's also not completely clear which part of the Portland suburbs that the girls live in. They could be north of the Hood River, but they're probably south or just on the border.

I would still expect the influence of the Zaibatsu to be stronger, albeit divided. They are probably much wealthier than Bellwether. The Fluff docks also paints Zootopia to be in a rather bad state. Furthermore, I can't really imagine that Bellwether is particularly pro-cape. Simply because of the whole predator/prey shtick. We know that Portland has cape activity and the Zaibatsu have been linked to that.

I'm not sure why you mentioned that last bit. You're saying it's likely for you to be wrong.

Edit: Are you saying that they live in Vancouver?

My point is that the areas of influence are approximate. We know that zaibatsu influence is concentrated on San Fransokyo, and that Doof's Influence is concentrated on Danville, and that Xanatos's influence is mostly in NYC. In Best Friends Whenever, they live in Portland, which is directly on the border of Zaibatsu and Zootopia. North of the river, as I mentioned in my Omake is Zootopia. They don't live in Zootopia, they live in portland, where Globo-Digi-Dyne (as per their series) is the dominant influence. but Zootopia is a really noticeable change from the previous timeline.

Cyd and Shelby don't really know (or care) who has corporate dominance over the region, but they definitely notice that there are now anthropomorphic talking animals where there was Seattle before. To an extent, they're unreliable narrators. A lot is going on that they don't notice or care about. they're not observant at all (they missed the fact that Shelby's dad works for the same company as the "Future Lab" and that all the silverware Shelby's family owns has the Globo-Digi-Dyne logo on it. And this is while they were actively looking for clues about what Globo-Digi-Dyne was. And in their show, Globo-Digi-Dyne was one of the most successful companies in the country.

So, yeah. There may in fact be Zaibatsu control. And there may be superhero/villain presences in the area. They wouldn't have noticed. They definitely noticed that talking bunnies were a thing when they were driven to a carrot farm run by talking bunnies though.

Edit: To be clear, they live on the border of Zootopia not In Zootopia itself (probably), but they wouldn't know about a secret corporate ruler of Portland because they clearly don't know about the really openly obvious corporate ruler of Portland in their own show; despite billions of clues.

That same point goes for Bellwether. And as I pointed out, the Zaibatsu have much more reason to be spread to Portland than Zootopia. Now, I certainly would be surprised if they had not noticed the influence of Zootopia, but the Zaibatsu's would be right on them. That would entail stuff like capes. And capes are a really public thing, especially with the downfall of Kronos.

There is also a fair amount of distance between Zootopia proper, and the southern border of Bellwether's sphere of influence. I doubt that a place like Vancouver would suddenly change from being a suburb of Portland, for instance.

Edit: For that matter, what about Calisota? The 51st (well, 50th with Flubber) state in the union? I think your omake gave too much focus to Zootopia. Anthros certainly would be interesting, but there are a lot of things that a civilian might notice.

So, you're telling me that I wrote my Omake wrong?

On what basis do you have to judge my artistic decisions? Did you write my Omake? Are you a fan of Best Friends Whenever?

Because if you were, you would know that Cyd and Shelby do not care at all about corporations that are not actively hunting for them in order to vivisect them. There is literally no way that they would possibly care about the zaibatsu. This is a plot point that comes up repeatedly.

It does not matter how much influence the Zaibatsu have in Portland, Cyd and Shelby will not notice it.

Capes maybe a popular thing, but Cyd and Shelby would not notice it. One of the main defining character traits of the pair of girls is that they are exceptionally unobservant and badly informed. Almost every single episode they are learning something new, like the existence of the multinational conglomerate that has set up headquarters in their city and who Shelby's father works for. Or, that disco and punk music were things. Or that various U.S. states exist. One of them is completely oblivious to the point when a boy comes up to her with flowers and chocolate and clearly is trying to ask her out, she wishes him luck asking out whichever girl he was interested in.

They aren't stupid, by any means, but they do not care at all about current events, and they don't pay attention to anything that isn't immediately interesting to them. Their reaction to hearing about Calisota would probably be "That isn't new, it existed in our old timeline!" (It did not).

As for distance. Portland is literally on the border of Zootopia on the map, and we see in the movie that Zootopia is huge. The territory is right there. But lets say we're tracking this from the center of each king's power base?

It is a ~3 hour drive from Portland to Seattle (where Zootopia presumably is). San Francisco? Is a 10 hour drive away. Calisota? Crescent City California is a 5 and a half hour drive. The quickest way to Kronos? Is through Zootopia territory (which unlike the other King's lands is probably relatively full of anthropomorphic animals). Las Vegas? Is a 15 and a half hour drive away.

Keep in mind, that those territories don't mean the same thing for each and every king. Doof treats his kingdom like a kingdom, but Kronos and Shego? They treat theirs like a Business. The Zaibatsu's influence is felt either as a business, or as monster attacks, or in contact with the criminal underground. Cyd and Shelby do not care about any of those things.

But I guarantee you that people from Portland know that Seattle exists no matter how dense. And they'd definitely notice that Zootopia replaced it when they're driven to a carrot farm run by talking rabbits.

I don't need to go into every single aspect of Cyd and Shelby's life since the change. And in fact, as a writer trying to write an Omake, I shouldn't. What's important is the things they'd Immediately notice. And that's talking animals, because animals are something that both Cyd and Shelby have an interest in and care about a lot in the show. Especially Shelby. Not only is Zootopia the geographically closest seat of power, it's the most disruptive to the girls' worldview, and it's the most likely thing to strike their interest.

But please, tell me again about how I wrote my omake wrong and didn't think it through properly. I definitely don't find that rude or insulting at all!

If you want to write your own Omake about someone noticing weird things between the different timelines there are plenty of time travelers in Disney properties (or even non-Disney properties) that you could use. Hell, Milo Murphy's law has a time agency! I encourage you to do so and enjoy it.

However, I would greatly appreciate it if you don't try and tell me that I'm wrong for writing my omake the way I do. What you wrote isn't constructive criticism, it's a complete difference of artistic intent.

Guys I just realized something, Platypuses could be classified as a predator since they're carnivorous, at ;east as much as an otter... Bellwether would have made Perry the Platypus go feral if she had the chance, she would have made our nemesis go feral to advance her political agenda.

I think that's all the justification we need to tear her world down around her.

Like I said! Planning to make Bellweather's life miserable is just fucking fun~.
