Some silly little headcanon about Ginger!
Ginger is jealous of Cosmo and Sprout. She is jealous of the fact that they are so much more than she’ll ever be… Because, no matter how many times she tries, she is always just a background character.
She is not a main character, she is not a normal character that gets enough screen time. She is the background character who is considered lucky if she has at least ONE line in one episode that isn’t about Christmas.
Ginger is just the cousin that you see on holidays and never again. She is not as loved as Sprout or Cosmo are. And she thinks she will never be loved that much because she is just some background character, lucky to not have been forgotten by the creators of the cartoon.
She could have hated Cosmo and Sprout because of that jealousy, but she doesn’t. She’s happy that they get all the love every toon deserves (and even more)! But she’s still jealous and sad about her destiny.
So every time she gets ANY screen time, she tries her best to impress everyone. She tries her best to impress the audience, so she wouldn’t be forgotten.
But this is probably very OOC behavior for her, so consider this more as an au thingy😔
I know this is probably a very silly theory (can I even call it a theory?), but I like it🤏
All the toons are just some cartoon characters, so surely the designs they currently have in canon weren’t always like that. Surely there were beta designs!
Shelly sometimes (if not often) gets called a cinnamon roll because she looks like one. She even got a drawing from a child about that!
So, what if Shelly was originally supposed to be a cinnamon roll? What if she was originally supposed to take Cosmo’s role? What if she was originally supposed to be a pastry toon that enjoys cooking? Shelly and Cosmo even act somewhat alike!
But the handlers/people who made them alive decided to change that. And they would have forgotten about Shelly if they didn’t need a character who knows all about history and dinosaurs.
What if the reason Shelly gets forgotten so often is because she wasn’t even supposed to exist in the first place? What is she is always forgotten by others because she wasn’t even supposed to be a part of the series in the first place?
What if Shelly is always forgotten because she is just someone’s beta design, destined to be forever forgotten?
