I may or may not have found the WordGirl fandom again while looking for my new icon art... and it just abruptly reminded me how much I loved this show. THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL EPIC AND ADORABLE, AHHHH.

Especially... THIS GUY. PROFESSOR BOXLEITNER.

(Art by the incredibly talented whyldkratts on tumblr!)

Also, this is my first attempt at making an icon! Fun fact: the background is actually just PicsArt callout bubbles. I know. I'm hanging my head in shame. (And look at my cropping job, yeeeesh. It already had a clear background. I had one job. XD)

And my second attempt, which is sort of overly bright and needs some stars or something to go around the edges, but it's a semi-improvement from thought bubbles! XD

(And I gotta show you guys the whole picture, because it's great:)

(IT'S THE SCIENCE TRIO! MADE UP OF ADORABLE SCIENTISTS WHO HAD ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF SCREEN TIME. THEY HAVE A CLUB.)

Even after all the years of wishing we'd get to see him again and having that not happen, the late-ish Professor Steven Boxleitner still holds a special place in my heart. (And the fandom kinda loves him too, so that helps. XD) We all tend to be...

(Also credit to whyldkratts!)

Why do we cry over him, you ask? Well... you can watch all three minutes of his screen time here:

(It should be mentioned that I love how this show breaks the fourth wall)

(and how it does everything else)

(it's a great show)

And a few headcanons about him from askboxleitner on tumblr, which are pretty much just canon facts:

I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SHOW OKAY
