Notes:based on Wendip Week 2024 Shenanigans promote
In the Pines resident, the triplet Pines with Ava's boyfriend were watching the new Ducktective Reboot while their parents were outside from the first till the last episode in season, a decision they came to regret. Let's just say this new reboot of a beloved IP was very controversial in its first season, despite the negative receptions the second season was greenlited before that so there was hope season 2 would be an improvement, a fool's hope as the Pines trio found to their immense displeasure.
"'Ducktective reboot', bah!" Tyrone sneered and threw the controller away after turning off the TV "It isn't even about Ducktective anymore. It's about his human sidekick's early years on the force when he was an edgy rebellious type."
Ava shared her brother's sneer at it and scoffed "Gives him three different increasingly boring love interests. The show only lasts two seasons."
Annable joined the grumbling "And turn other characters into either assholes or drug addicts and the main character in time reveals to be an absolute sociopath born evil."
"And to THINK so many good shows were canceled for THIS TRAINWRECK!" Tyrone fummed.
"It's almost as bad as Astral Wars's sequel! Decades of lore thrown away replaced with this!" Anna growled recalling another beloved brand that has been milked to death into soulless spin offs, reboots and sequels like others in this age.
Ava thundered upon recalling that crapshow "Oh don't GET ME STARTED! How- the- how in a horde of mating jackalopes they thought it was a good idea reducing a beloved character into a depressed pathetic suicidal loser!?"
Tyrone chipped sardonically "Or worse, getting cucked by some self-inserte Gary Stu who has less personality than a blank paper!"
"They shouldn't have let him break off with his lover in the first place! And in such a lameward way as 'Selling his marriage to save his mommy'!" Avalon threw his hands up in anger.
Annable cringed hard in recoil "That puts a whole new meaning to being a Momma's boy."
Amon wrinkled his nose for reminding him a bit too much of one supernatural encounter he and the Pines had "That reminds me too much of the Divorce Devil that wanted to split Mr Mason and Mrs Wendy apart.
Ava agreed with her boyfriend with a mirth. "Aye, what a freaking weirdo, he deserved all the mocking and jeering he got from the other demons!"
Amon sighed at hearing his girlfriend's attempt in mimicking Scottish "Do you have to mimic the Scottish accent just because your ancestors are from Scotland?" Ever since when the Pines Triplets learned about their Scottish heritage from their Corduroy side Ava has tried mimicking a Scottish accent to Amon and her siblings' exasperation.
She jested playfully "Screw ya love, being Scottish means I'm allowed to protest scottish." She playfully hit his shoulder which he said "Ow" due to how freakish strong Ava was despite being lanky while Tyrone rolled his eyes.
Anna mused as she sat on the couch "This kind of brain dead stupidity is why I lost faith in sequels, revivals and reboots. Just ruin a perfect ending and slap it with a nostalgic trap to get the sheeps' money and tell us to shut up and eat it like zombies!"
Tyrone gave a faux outrage at that in mocking "That would be an insult to all zombies, ghouls and undead kinds, not even their rotten brains could possibly think of ways to ruin classics."
That was when Wendy and Dipper opened the door and returned back to home.
"Hey kids, we're back." Wendy greeted her children.
"Hey" Ava nonchalantly greeted.
"Hi." Annable greeted me.
Hi." Tyrone greeted.
"Hi Mr and Mrs Pines." Lister greeted and nodded in respect.
While Mason put his keys, he asked his offspring "So…what was the commotion? Hopefully it is not another Snallygaster incident."
"For the love of Axolotl, that was ONE time!" Ava whined as the other kids giggled at her recalling that incident of when she tried to have a Snallygaster as her pet.
Tyrone was the first one to elaborate on what was the commotion "We were just talking about what a dumpster fire and an atrocity in writing the new Ducktective reboot is and how Entertainment keeps milking and turning beloved IPs into soulless walking dead."
That made Annable wondered "Speaking of, what do you think Aunt Mabel- "
"DON'T DON'T TELL HER!" Both parents nearly shrieked, making the kids startled by their reaction.
"...Aunt Mabel doesn't know?" Anna carefully asked.
Dipper nervously elaborated to his children "Technically she knows but she doesn't know it was greenlighted for season 2 and we prefer to keep it that way!"
"What's so bad about Aunt Mabel finding out?" Tyrone side-eyed questioned.
Dipper nervously put his hands together. "Well…let's just say she managed to have herself banned from every social media and has a couple of restraining orders after watching the first season."
Wendy sighed tiredly recalling something exasperating "And she managed to get herself banned in every Casino in Vegas by draining their money and giving it as charity to animal, environmental and humanitarian rights groups."
"You…you kidding, right?" Tyrone wide eyed said. The other kids shared Tyrone's awe and shock.
"And despite all of that, she learned hacking skills just so that she can enter the sites that banned her and continue her 'Crusade'."
"...how did she even learn hacking, may I ask?" Amon hesitantly asked, in disbelief that the jubilant and overly friendly Mabel can be so vindictive.
"Oh that's the scary part, no one did, she self-taught." Dipper replied, adding to their shock.
Ava whistled in a newfound respect. "My respect for Auntie has just increased."
"What season 2?" That was the voice of Mabel from behind Wendy and Dipper which startled everyone with Tyrone yelping, nearly dropping the controller as he frantically turned the TV off. They looked at each on what they should do.
Mabel, confused by everyone's nervousness, asked again "What season 2? Ooh! Is it the next season of Climax Space?" She excitedly asked.
"Uh…" Amon dumbly mumbled until Ava shut him by booting at his foot making him wince in pain and not making Mabel suspicious.
"I mean YES!" Ava finished while her boyfriend dropped a tear wincing from the pain.
"DEFINITELY!" Anna nodded a bit too
ABSOLUTELY!" Tyrone nodded furiously with hands opened which inadvertently threw the controller he had on his hand and as if the Universe was feeling humorous, one of the buttons of the controller hit, turning the TV on.
Mabel's mood immediately turned bitter when she saw the Ducktective Reboot "Ugh, that travesty again! Why reboots can't just- wait…I don't recall that episode." She narrowed her eyes while everyone else nervously looked knowing Mabel was gonna piece things together.
The inevitable happened as Mabel widen eyes upon revelation and her expression began to turn into a snarl.
"Oops." Tyrone meekly responded.
Avalon smacked Tyrone on the back of his head "Nice going Einstein!"
Dipper seeing his sister begging to have a meltdown like an active volcano tried to calm her down "Now now Mabel, there's no need to be upset over a piece of fiction- " the glare that his sister gave him was enough to shut him up and backed away "which…I'm shutting up." Dipper was crazy enough to face monsters and conspiracies on a weekly basis, but her sister having a meltdown? No thanks.
Wendy sighed seeing what was happening told the kids to close their ears. "Kids, close your ears." And that was when Mabel erupted like an active volcano shouted curses that would make a sailor blush with vulgarity that can make the Devil scandalized.
Outside from the woods, two ghosts were gazing at their great niece and nephew and the family they made.
"Ahhhh…If I was still alive I would shed a tear." The ghostly form of Stanley Pines fondly feeling immense pride for his great niece. That was when a new idea formed in his mind as he grinned mischievously.
"Stanley, no." Stanford Pines sighed heavily knowing that look his brother was having.
Stan fisted one hand with a grinning face "STANLEY YES! I'M GONNA TEACH MY GRAND GRAND NIECES AND NEPHEWS SWEAR WORDS! AND THEN I CAN MOVE ON WITH A HAPPY FACE!"
"YOU COULD DOOM US TO HELL BY TEACHING THEM SWEARS!" Ford barked in alarm.
Stan scoffed "BLAH! We're Jewish, we don't even believe in Hell!"
"STANLEY! Stanley!"
"STOP ME IF YOU CAN NERD!" he taunted and laughed like a delinquent running or more aptly floating away as his twin brother followed to stop him.
"STANLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!" Ford shouted his name as Ley laughed.
While the Stan Ghost were busy, the roar of the rage of Mabel could be heard from outside. "I. MUST. EXPRESS. MY. DISPLEASURE!"
Unknown to everyone a Manotaur was passing by hearing that shout in the woods which made him nod in respect "That man has a manly voice." not knowing the man with a 'Manly' shout was in fact something worse, an enraged woman.
