Shambles

Summary

Wakko's thoughts about the end of Animaniacs.

my take on if wakko had loved acting in the series and broke at the news of it ending.


Cancellation

Notes

set in 1998

Wakko scribbled and scribbled and scribbled, tears streamed down his face like waterfalls. What the studio had done, he couldn't understand why it happened. Canceling the show he oh, so dearly loved acting in crushed Wakko.

Were he and his brother and sister not good enough? That must be why, there was no other explanation! Wakko wrote down his thoughts on the paper in front of him, they were almost unreadable.

He didn't want the show to end. Animaniacs was Wakko's life and soul. Without it, he couldn't go on. When Yakko told him and Dot the news, Wakko absolutely broke into shambles over it. He cried and cried, he felt like the world was ending.

It'd been a week since then, and Wakko was still bawling over it. Yes, Yakko and Dot were upset about it too, but Wakko was inconsolable. He couldn't handle it, what else was Wakko good for? He himself didn't know. The one thing that made him happy was gone.

Now it was just his sibs left of the things he cared about, he'd do the unthinkable if not for them. Wakko hoped he could survive the time of not acting in his beloved show.


Revival

Notes

set in 2018

It had been 20 years since the end of Animaniacs. Wakko had spent each day grieving it, but he had long accepted it was over. At least the show made an impact on many people, and that made Wakko happy.

It had been 20 years since the show's end, and Yakko had news. This time he had a great, big smile on his face unlike the saddened expression he had when he first announced the show's end. This intrigued Wakko; he'd never seen his brother so happy, so he was excited to find out what was so grand.

And Yakko told about the news. A reboot of Animaniacs was official, set to air sometime in 2020.

Wakko couldn't believe it. A reboot? Would it be written like the original series? Would it be as funny? Would the newer generation enjoy it? Wakko had all these questions inside of his mind, but he decided none of them mattered right now. What mattered was he could be happy once more, he could have a purpose again.

Wakko cried tears of joy. Maybe this wasn't the end. He cheered his heart out, and his sibs joined him. He was gonna be happy again.
