Part of the inspiration for this story came from theradicalscrivener on Tumblr, whose hyper stories were a stating point of sorts for the genital growth bits of this story, along with several other BB-related writings I've found around the Internet such as Jonoffen's Invulneraballs. Special thanks to these sources for helping me out with this fic! Also, I'm actually quite proud of myself for managing to get almost all of this piece written in a single night (until like 2 in the morning to be specific!), which is something I can say for very few of my works in general. ...man, I really have to work on my time management skills. XD

If one were to look at all the paraphernalia related to Monumentropolis, they would be enchanted by the image of a sparkling, flawless skyline, populated by photogenic heroes and heroines from every type of story you could possibly imagine, usually under either a clear sapphire sky or a breathtaking starlit night. Postcards and novelty t-shirts, however, are not designed to provide an accurate picture of the place they come from, and in fact, many residents of the City Where Stories Begin would be surprised and somewhat annoyed that their home would be portrayed so positively.
The sad truth is that even though any and every resident has the potential to start an adventure of their own, only one citizen in ten will ever be able to achieve public recognition. This ten percent established the steel-hard monopoly on the reputation of Monumentropolis just a few years after it was first founded, and has kept everyone else from gaining ground since then. The stories of the remaining ninety percent, with rare exception, have gone unheard by popular lore… so it really is no surprise, then, that not all of them are as inspiring and charismatic as with the big league heroes and villains.
It was in the media production district of this deceptively dystopic municipality that the former A-list hero, Rex Calibur, began shaping the animation industry with his whimsical cartoons, his “creator” pioneering many techniques that are still used today. Rex was a media darling in the Roaring Twenties, the era of rubber-hose cartoons, and continued his acting career through the Great Depression and well into the Second World War. But sometime during the ‘50s, he suddenly vanished from the public eye. Perhaps it was due to his creator’s difficulties with his staff, or maybe his line of work was simply becoming obsolete. But his abrupt retirement came as a surprise to many, since his future had been looking bright indeed.
If only they knew the true nature of Monumentropolis’ rubber hose folk… Oh, if only they knew…
