《Cartoon Theories》Doug Not-So-Funny
Advertisement
When Doug moved to Bluffington, his new neighbor Mr. Dink immediately took note of him. The first thing he did was invite him into his house just to "show him a movie". The next day after hanging out in Lucky Duck Lake he was washing the mud off of Porkchop. Suddenly, Mr. Dink shows up in the bushes with a camera. He claims he was only trying to get a picture of a "Neematoad" but clearly he was trying to get a picture of his young new neighbor.
Mr. Dink is always inviting Doug into his home to show him a new "very expensive" product" but most of the action is never seen so we never know what Mr. Dink is doing with Doug. One would be curious about why a grown man would be constantly inviting a kid to his house much less lending out expensive equipment that is prone to breaking. Mr. Dink always offers for Doug to work on any project in his shed. This shed had a lot of security measures on it (surely Bluffington isn't that dangerous.). Why is this? Perhaps to warn Mr. Dink if someone (such as Doug's parents) is on the way and if he needed to clean up. Also, why is Mr. Dink letting an 11 year old boy use his equipment and resources for free? There must have been some sort of payment Doug was making to Mr. Dink.
Also, Mr. Dink has no kids. He is also the scoutmaster of Doug's Bluffscout troop. If that's not creepy enough, you may recall the episode "Doug on the Trail" Mr. Dink got lost on a canoeing trip. Doug, Skeeter, and the rest of the Bluffscouts are convinced that a bear ate him, they mourn for Mr. Dink's loss and finally find him up a tree, where he is completely nude. During his search for a new navigational computer, Mr. Dink explains that he soaked his clothes. So he laid them out to dry. When he came back to get his clothes, he saw a bear and ran up the tree. Doug and Skeeter then explain to Mr. Dink that Roger threatened to demote them back to tender-toe if they search for Mr. Dink without his permission and soon explain the story.

Back at the campsite, the rest of the Bluff Scouts go on strike and rebel against Roger for eating all the food. When Mr. Dink returns, he gives Doug and Skeeter a special Mountain Man award and orders Speedy Pizza for the scouts, with Roger as the server.
A confused Doug found peace in a curious substance his sister brought home. Though we never truly see Doug receive LSD from Judy it is suggested. Judy is adamant about Doug keeping out of her room. (Remember the episode when Doug had to sneak into her school? Judy was furious that Doug went through her stuff at home) Perhaps this is due to Judy discovering that Doug took a piece or two of blotter paper. Then there was the episode where Doug was home alone and Doug snuck into Judy's room. Why would he do that? Surely he has seen her room before. Maybe he was going in to get something... specifically hallucinogenic drugs.
It's important to note that you must make distinctions between Doug's day dreams and his acid trips. Typically, Doug's daydreams are more fantastical and have no effect on the world around him. Doug's acid trips tend to be more "realistic" and show a distorted view of the world around him. In addition, Doug's interactions with his hallucinations are usually observed by other people who are viewing Doug.
Examples of Doug's hallucinations are as follows:
The episode "Doug's Lost Weekend". Doug gets his new super pretendo. Doug's first hallucination is when he is in space and suddenly he's in the classroom and Miss Wingo says "Doug what are you doing?" Doug has absolutely no idea what just happened. Roger says something to him and Roger suddenly becomes pixilated. Then Roger says "What're you staring at Funnie?" Also in this episode, Doug is looking at his school book when the island transforms into a spaceship and begins flying around Doug. Doug's eyes follow this imaginary spaceship.

In the episode "Doug takes a Hike". Doug goes camping with the Boy Scouts, Roger tells Doug to go get some firewood. While he's in the woods the tree next to him starts moving. The forest gets all colorful and wavy and Doug hallucinates that he is seeing green creatures on the ground. Doug falls down and suddenly purple vines are above him. Then, everything goes back to normal, with Doug on the ground and Roger dangling some rope above him. Everyone laughs at Doug for freaking out.
In the episode "Doug's Nightmare on Jumbo St.", Doug starts this hallucination when he's at the theater. Suddenly, everything is very dark and forbidding looking. The trees have faces and are whispering. Doug looks up at the traffic light which transforms into a giant spider. Doug ends this trip inside of his house. There are no scenes of Doug in the normal world returning home. He goes from the theater straight to his bed.
In the mentioned episode above where Doug is home alone, he sneaks into Judy's room for no apparent reason. Later when he goes into the basement, Doug begins hallucinating. All of the items transform into various creatures that threaten Doug. Doug, being terrified of these hallucinations attacks one with a vacuum. It is revealed that the creature he attacked was simply a mannequin.
So our beloved Doug Funnie is tripping out on LSD to cope with the traumatic experiences of Mr. Dink molesting him...

8 727An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

8 98The Supreme Cultivator
This story is a parody for xianxias, and some litRPG, where our protagonist, Bòhé chá, faces no problems at all in his life controlled by the evil author... Is the author actually evil? (This is not a rhetorical question, I'm actually curious.) PS : this is only written as a method of wasting time, so don't expect me to upload regularly. Edit : removed the LitRPG and replaced it with Satire since that is more accurate.
