Take My Muffin is an animated series for adults. It is the first series in history[1][2] to be created with the support of the crypto community, specifically through the sale of NFTs and with the support of DEX[3] and CEX services.[4][5] The development of the series was announced on April 19, 2021, and the premiere of the series took place exactly a year later, on April 19, 2022, in Limassol at the site of the former Coca-Cola factory.

Plot[edit]

Waking up after an accident, the anthropomorphic unicorn Korney remembers nothing and his main goal is to regain his memory. The three-eyed cat Rok tells him about his old startup – miracle pills that are, of course, very expensive but can help restore memory. They can be created by earning from Korney's newfound abilities. Rok's startup incubator has all the conditions for this. Korney becomes a team member, and after each successful project, Rok gives him pills. They really help, and Korney begins to piece together his past.

In the tenth (final) episode of the first season, it turns out that Korney himself is the project of the team, being a generator of startups, and he was created by Noper as part of experiments. The accident was caused by Korney himself waking up from the experiments, and Korney's "father" was actually just an actor. In the end, Korney is left in the corporation with which the team had a contract.

Main Characters[edit]

  • Korney (KORNEY) – voiced by Dane McMichael (episodes 01–15). After a road accident, he remembers nothing about himself or his past. His main goal is to regain his memory and understand who he is. He has the gift of uncontrollable spontaneous inspiration with brilliant ideas. In moments of such inspiration, his horn begins to glow. Energetic, open, sociable, prone to enthusiasm, somewhat naive, and a little clumsy. However, he is not alien to existential reflection. Conscientious and unable to lie, he struggles to compromise his moral principles and reacts sharply to various injustices. All of Korney's ideas are initially benevolent and humanitarian in nature, but often turn out to have unintended consequences.
  • Rok (ROK YEN) – voiced by Mike Doherty. Everyone calls him by his short name Rok. He is a fundraiser who runs a startup lab, skillfully exploiting his employees and deftly extracting money from investors, which he constantly spends on crazy non-targeted projects. He dreams of selling one of his lab's developments to the large corporation Bluelight Inc. (an analogue of modern IT hypercorporations) and becoming part of it. A typical trickster – unprincipled, cynical, and adventurous. He is genuinely talented in business. Rok tends to get involved in ventures without thinking about the consequences, especially if immediate profit is involved. For him, the thrill of the process is more important than the result. He never panics, finds a way out of any situation, and perceives failures as part of the game.
  • Draka (DRAKA FLAMING) – voiced by Alex Keiper. In Rok's team, she performs the functions of a lawyer and financier. An iron lady who will outmaneuver anyone in her field. Sharp-tongued and extremely hot-tempered: at the peak of emotions, she literally ignites. She comes from a family of fundamentalist rednecks, with whom she has strained relationships. A feminist who despises crude male jokes, machismo, and clumsy advances. She secretly loves Rok, which keeps her in the team, though she hides her feelings behind constant teasing. She is also a vegetarian.
  • Dr. Noper (DR. NOPER) – voiced by Scott Greer. A genius scientist-engineer equally proficient in various sciences but completely ignorant of the market, so he can't come up with startups, only implements others' ideas. He used to be an idealistic scientist and was a contender for a prestigious university prize at Saint Fard University, but later broke off relations with official science and fell into decline until he ended up in Rok's team. After one of his failed experiments, Noper suffered a severe concussion. Now, when faced with logical paradoxes or particularly complex tasks, his brain starts to "short-circuit," and he involuntarily separates into a headless body and a flying head. Always disagrees with everyone and has his own opinion on everything. If everyone is "for," Noper is "against" on principle. Prone to bad habits. An tireless experimenter.
  • U2-D12 aka UD (U2-D12 aka UD) – voiced by Tyler Bunch. A hybrid of various office equipment. Originally bought by Rok at a flea market for office needs, he later became Noper's test subject. As a result of an experiment to develop artificial intelligence, he acquired creative ambitions. Now he considers himself an artist and engages in contemporary art in his free time. He tries to impose his "talent" on his startup colleagues, wanting to be seen as a designer, but is still perceived as a talking printer. An utter melancholic and pessimist, constantly in a state of depression, which he romanticizes. Inclined to suicidal thoughts, but being a robot, he cannot die completely – Noper repairs him every time. His best friend is Mojo, and they call each other "Bro."
  • Mojo (MOJO) – voiced by Mike Doherty. A potato, a big guy with super strength and the mind of a child. In Rok's team, he serves as the muscle – a guard and bodyguard, as Rok often gets involved in dangerous ventures. Mojo follows any order without considering whether it's good or bad or what the consequences might be. Mojo doesn't worry about anything and goes with the flow. His guiding light is a pesticide bong, which is how he got his name. He doesn't understand humor – or rather, he understands it very selectively and distortedly. He periodically comes up with idiotic ideas presented as revelations. He is closest to the robot UD, whom he rightfully considers a brother.
