I read stuff, and I write stuff. And probably other things, too, but mostly I write fanfic featuring Freakazoid and Pinky and the Brain: https://archiveofourown.org/users/scanime
Freakazoid's 1st episode aired 30 years ago today. It was a strange show for its time, and it's still a strange show today. But I love it.

Brain needs to get back to the palace to stop Yzma. Thanks to Pinky's parting proclamation that Kuzco's successor will be "Look Out!" he might just have a chance by building a strangely familiar puppet. But will it be enough to fool Yzma?

New chapter!

Brain's nemesis Snowball has unleashed Freakazoid's foes to destroy Acme Labs and any chance the heroes have to stop him. Only Pinky, Brain, and a very bewildered Dexter stand between seven supervillains and total disaster.

Brain and Pinky have escaped Yzma's clutches... for now.

But Brain wants to know why Yzma thinks he turned her into a bug, so Pinky recalls how he first stumbled upon the secret lab (wrong lever and all).

Thinking about Freakazoid and how “has all the power and knowledge of the internet” was his superpower and it resulted in this thing. 1997 sure was a year.

Emperor Kuzco—or rather, a life-sized puppet operated by Pinky and known as the Kuzcopy—is set to announce Brain as his official successor.

But Yzma and Kronk are not about to let a rodent ruin their work without a fight.

With Emperor Kuzco out of the picture, Brain is free to rule the Incan Empire at last. Except for one problem: Brain was never officially declared the heir. Fortunately, he has a plan for that. But does that plan account for Pinky?

Now within the secret laboratory, Brain is ready to brew a poison fit for an emperor. Specifically, to end an emperor. And Pinky has discovered a culinary wonder: the secret kitchen. Will Brain's plan go off without a hitch, or just go up in smoke?

Step One for Brain's perfect plan to take over the Incan Empire: remove Emperor Kuzco. It should be simple, especially since Brain is the emperor's newly appointed advisor. But things never seem to go according to plan when Pinky helps.

Not for the first time, Pinky shares his theory about the endless loops—and maybe for the first time, Brain listens. Together, they hatch a bold plan: do nothing. But will the universe find a way to reset everything anyway?
