Have A Zombie Umi (aka Unhuman)

Something i've always thought as interesting is emphasising that Bot has mighty math powers. There's nothing inherently wrong with that statement...at least at first as its shown that his powers are him being able to count which the team does consider a math power.

The problem is simply just that in terms of in universe abilities the counting isn't really a unique power. (It might be since it was able to shrink Zilch but since the whole team was counting iirc i'm unsure if Bot had an impact)

But even if we ignore that his other "math powers" include:

-Likely hacking/connecting (in)to cameras

-Projecting mechanics of how things work on his screen

-Containing and storing items

-Dispensing tools to use

-Radar

-LAZER

Now I'm not roboticist buuuuut....none of this feels unique in the context of being a robot. Especially if you take "Mighty math powers" at face value and see how they are visualised.

Blue electricity - Super Shapes

White sparkles - Pattern Power

Yellow/Golden glow - Milli measure

Bot doesn't exactly have his own equivelent of these effects iirc. At best he has some lasers that visually are no different than say...the trouble ray. (Iirc Bot's laser is more bland at that)

But I have a headcanon, what if he's powered by math powers wherein the same type of power and energy that Milli and Geo harness is also what literally powers Bot like a battery. which not only gives him a greater understanding of mathematics (Basically makes him a higher end calculator compared to other robots), and can allow him to operate and calculate faster, but also allows him to track and sense Milli and Geo easier as they possess the exact same type of energy.

Like where most robots are powered by like two AAs or a car battery he's powered by literally math incarnate, though this means that he could just have mighty math powers we don't see but he doesn't use them to not strain himself and accidentally run out of juice.

This headcanon is probably batshit insane but I had it on my mind and I wanna let it out.

OMG I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! BOT BEING POWERED BY MATH ITSELF IS SO FUCKING GENIUS SKDJFJRJVJGKFK

IMO, I feel like despite being an anthro cat villain (who redeems, then says F it and goes back to being a villain in the Umi Grand Prix episode), Shape Bandit despises the trope where cats are depicted as villains. He especially dislikes when dogs are depicted as heroes and cats the villain. (*cough* Paw patrol *cough)

Shape Bandit has beef with the Paw Patrol this is 100% canon bc I said so

Doing redesign of the Troublemakers. I dunno how to do the hair for him tbh I just hope he still looks good in a mohawk

Bear feet drip

Wait- I have a better idea, make them both cats like Shape Bandit but not have connection with the bandit/mafia group, then they find out about Shape Bandit's object that has links to the group and boom, nice (I dunno if they can be also SP's siblings, but still nice)

I've got like most of my lil Toodlemakers rewrite done but now I gotta do their designs (hardest part), which can take a while depending on motivation, schedules, and references needed. So I figured I'd show my concept of their personalities/roles in the rewrite (they won't be going by the same individual names as the original btw)

Sharing old art because I just want this concept to be known (I probably made this in 2018 or 2019)

The evolution of Umi

At the time, I was really into wolves, and I thought "what if the Umis evolved from my favorite animal?" And this is how it ended up.

I had notes on this and I'm gonna share them in a small summary:

1- Primas Lupus venandi (primate wolf hunter) aka the first one: werewolf, aggressive

2- Homo rabidus (savage man) aka the second one: half wolf, half human, still aggressive until migration

3- Homo vagus (wandering man) aka the third one: less wolf, more human, less aggressive and more curious

4- Homo dolosus (crafty man) aka fourth one with the grey animal skin: more human, achieved stone age

5- Homo Generosus castus (noble and pure man) aka the fifth one that is almost hidden by the fourth one: fully human, achieved magic mastery

6- Homo Remicus sapiens (gentle and wise man) aka the final one which is actually straight up @chameleoncove's character Umiphus (I really loved the Team Umizoomi designs they made at the time): Umi from nowadays wow :0

If anyone's interested in this concept, feel free to take it, change it, bop it, twist it, whatever! This is really just something that I needed to post because like, it's so cool, the concept (I've been on a spec evo phase and I am loving every single animal and plant, y'all are so creative ;-;/pos)

*Eats the art*

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.
