PSHAW! or Powerpuff School Hijinks And Wackiness is a The Powerpuff Girls fanfic, with various stuff from other Cartoon Network shows, by Andrew Joshua Talon, well-known for his fanfics "Hands", "Progress", and other various fics. It was based upon back and forth between him and The Sage of Toads, who is known for his own fanfics The Key to a Successful Interview, and Beautiful Destroyer Sailor Moon
It takes the cliches of teenaged Powerpuff Girls fanfiction, and gives it its own unique spin. With a number of shots taken at Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi for good measure.
The Spacebattles thread can be found here
, while a "best-of" version on Fanfiction.net is here.
Tropes associated with this fanfic include:
- Actor Allusion: More than one joke is made about the Narrator having the same voice actor as the Ice King.
- Likewise a brief moment between Jack and Wilt.
- Adaptational Badass: Robin Snyder from the episode "Superfriends" is now Robin Bravo, daughter of Velma and Johnny Bravo.
- Mac Kazoo is also a pacifist one due to years of working at Foster's.
-
Bonus Material: Spacebattles has a thread for this fic; like AJT's other fics on that site, it has rough drafts, omake scenes, and other various info. - Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: Professor Utonium has daughters who can shoot lasers from their eyes, but that doesn't mean he won't 'casually' talk about his laser canons or transforming house robot arms in front of their boyfriends. That being said they keep dating boys who are not phased by such acts, like Dexter or Mac.
- Fun with Acronyms: As usual for a Sage of Toads production, the title.
- Origins Episode: Chapter 4 explains how the PPG changed from their original look(as they hadn't aged a day until what happened in that chapter.)
- Take That!: One of the best counters ever made against the PPG/RRB pairings is given in chapter 1.
- Someone suggested that Scrappy-Doo and Flim-Flam be erased from existence by Mr. Peabody. In response, it was decided that instead, the now adult Scrappy and Flim-Flam work as P. I.s in Hawaii.

- Shout-Out:
- In Chapter 4 we get a whole bunch. Townsville's Project Yggdrasil with its' underground base, mobile buildings and large number of automated defenses around the city are all references to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The launching of the Powerpuff Dynamo against HIM is basically one big shoutout to the battle with the Fourteenth Angel and Tabris/Kaoru's descent into Terminal Dogma.
- In the same chapter the self destruct code for the Powerpuff Dynamo is very similar to the one used for the Enterprise in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. And Mojo Jojo's Humongous Mecha is named Big Jojo. Mojo even summons it like Roger Smith does Big O.

- The 'Verse: Restricted to the Cartoon Cartoons canon (sans Codename: Kids Next Door due to its universe being irreconcilable with the fic's) and classic Hanna-Barbera.
