I was really introduced to the show, and to Wilt in particular, by some of the members of the Boggs Board, who also had some Foster's fanart on Deviant Art. I kept seeing posts mentioning Foster's, especially regarding the similarities to a certain Pixar movie, and I kept seeing fanart featuring this tall, lanky red thing with this huge grin on its face, which reminded me of Randall's equally large grin. It was only upon taking a closer look at the art work that I noticed that this tall red thing was missing his left arm, and had suture scars there from an obvious amputation, and that one eye looked "funny'. I also found out that the owner of that stubby arm and huge grin was called "Wilt", and he was supposed to be a really likeable character, so I got intrigued enough to start watching the show. The first episode I ever saw was "Partying is Such Sweet Soiree", and I got hooked, not just on the show, but on the Wilt-Man! Everything about him-the grin, the infectious good nature, the helpfulness, the walk, the silky-smooth voice-just grabbed me. I guess, as I've explained, Wilt appeals to some deep, primal female instinct in that personality-wise, talent-wise, athletic-wise etc., he represents the Perfect Male, in spite of not even being human! In a sense he IS human, though, since he was created by a human child, and no doubt there has to be human DNA incorporated in there somewhere, and he certainly has a very human soul, complete with weaknesses. The fact that he's almost the exact opposite of me, in terms of personality, and that there's so much about him we don't know, makes him even more intriguing, a mystery to be figured out. What more could a gal want?

Nothing more.

To me, Wilt is like...a father to the imaginaries, like Frankie is like the big sister. He (at least I think) knows right from wrong, what he should/shouldn't do, is mature, (VERY good thing to have) has common sence, y'know, that sort of stuff.

Although he has these traits, he also has this fun-loving side that most children possess. This could cause him to play sports as a hobby (or possibly more), hang out with his friends, stay in touch with the good side of things, etc.

Basicly, I think Wilt's mind is split in half - one side is adult, and the other kid-like.

When I watched an episode of Foster's for the first time and saw Wilt I was like, "WOAH, this guy looks COOL." (I've always been attracted to tall, skinny guy characters...o.O) Then I watched more, loved his personality, attitude and CATCHPHRASE. "I'm sorry!" Then I looked up Foster's on the internet, and there was no going back after that.

You know, I always held onto that "his name is Wilt" thing, since AS SOON AS I SAW THE WILT AD, I went where? The website! And his name was Wilt. But the way I pronounce it, it sounds like this: Wilt. Mostly in words I don't say the "T" sound as loud as the others. I wonder if that sound is known as "weak T"...XDDD

Nope, he blushes magenta. You would've known that if you played the adoption game in Cartoon Network La in 2004. XD And no, I didn't screencap it. I regret not doing that.
