>one-off character the writers intended simply as a plot device

Lisa was always a main character though dude

Triana's friend Kim from the Venture Brothers, to the point where the creators have swore never to bring her back ever again for any reason.

>>93200192
and which is the problem?

So half the Adventure Time characters then?

>>93200192
>>93200317
not, OP, but the latter is inevitable, really. Especially when the one-shot character is well-done. Biggest example I can think of is Hank Scorpio. (though in time, we've all acknowledged he was best as a one-shot character)

The funny thing is I don't think Pacifica ever talked to Wendy of Gideon. Come to think did Wendy ever talk to Gideon?

>>93200499
Wendy hardly talked to anyone

yeah he was my boy
scorpio too but people already mentioned him

>>93200192
I don't get the fan obsession with Allison--she's a very bland non-character with no personality beyond quieter Lisa.

Scorpio was a good example why villians have so many followers

I still can't believe they haven't made a character out of pic related (on the right) yet

Not a plot device, but literally any minor female character in The Loud House.

They should send her away or re possess her cause Selma's smoking is harmful for her lungs or something so they can get rid of her already. She adds nothing to the show. She is the definition of dead weight.

>>93201588
Since when are fans obsessed with Ling? I've never seen a single piece of fanart of her and there's maybe two NoHomers threads total that even mention her at all (one of them the Rate & Review thread of Goo Goo Gai Pan).

>one-off character
you failed the reading comprehension part

>>93201713
This newfag wasn't here in 2013.

>>93201588
but she is not popular

>>93201917
She was popular on /co/ once. And it wasn't pretty either. In fact it was quite fucking terrible and one of the worst things to ever happen to this board.

>>93202097
Wasn't that just one guy who was obsessed with Ling?

>>93200499
Is this official?

>>93202496
only if you dont read "patreon" and artist's tumblr" under.

>>93202555
Oops. Derp.

For all the newfags here, let Papa tell the tale. *blows on harmonica*

>2013
>this anon shows up and starts spamming hundreds of terrible, poorly drawn MS Paint comics of Maggie and Selma's Chinese kid aged up
>all of them were essentially the same joke repeated over and over and also Maggie was naked in most of them
>after a year or so of spamming this shit, he apparently got tired of it and stopped

Allison was cute and Winona Ryder did a good job of sounding like a little girl, but that's about it.

>>93201047
Same for Louis and Wendel.
