The moonies are just werewolf periods

Like. They're literally just werewolf periods Idk what to tell you-

That's not like, a BAD thing, I just think fucking werewolf periods is a wild thing to introduce to the lore of this series lmao

On a similar note, I made a whole separate post abt this but I'm very confused by werewolf family dynamics I want more lore for that

WYATT'S A RACCOON NOW DON'T GET CLOSE HE'LL BITE

Bucky's very slight redesign in the Halloween special is so funny to me- he looks. So so tired. And yet he's wearing hot pink wolf ears. That dichotomy is very funny to me-

I keep getting the song Ashley was singing along to in Teeny Witch stuck in my head smh

Probably bcuz I keep rewatching Teeny Witch for the Dae content...

Guys I love Dae she's so silly

She's one of the first characters I've ever seen who's actively described by the promotional team as "shy and quirky" who isn't the most annoying person on the face of planet

And her dynamic with Bucky is so fun- genuinely amazing choice to pair them up

Wyatt has so much more personality in the show than he does in the movies. I think he's one of the characters that's def benefited the most from the tv show format

The gag about Addison being obsessed with label makers is so funny omfg

I also liked it when Addison went insane in the woods in the Halloween special that was really funny

Basically I just like that Addison keeps randomly losing her mind in this show I think its a good recurring bit

BACK ON THE SUBJECT OF THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL- I think the writers forgot why the wolves were mad in the movies

"Sick of living in the woods" GIRL YOUR LIFE SOURCE IS LITERALLY DRAINING AS WE SPEAK I THINK THERE ARE BIGGER PROBLEMS AT HAND HERE

I'm also kinda disappointed that they're retconning Bucky being from Missy's side of the family. I think the idea of Bucky having some alien in him has a lot of potential, and I wish Re-Animated would capitalize on that.

The whole Paint it Blech episode was a fuckin MOOD

Also you can tell Meg Donelly was having so much fun voicing the lil stick figure guy lmao

I absolutely LOVE that we got a whole episode dedicated to Bree, Addison and Bucky omfg- we never actually got to see them working as a trio in the movies, since Bucky was like. The main antagonist in the first 2 and fucked off to hang out with the wolves in the 3rd. So I'm glad we're getting some of that here!

And since we ALSO got an episode dedicated to just the wolves, I hope we get one for the zombie trio in the future, too. We've gotten more of the 3 of them hanging out than we have of the main 3 cheerleaders, but it'd still be cool to get an episode on them :)

Unfortunately I don't think there's gonna be an alien trio episode... unless they decide to bring A-li and A-lan in for one episode and then send them back to the void with the 'aceys?

Which SPEAKING OF- I'm disappointed they fully replaced the 'aceys with just one guy...

Like I think I know WHY they aren't coming back, probably some combo of the writers not wanting to juggle 3 more recurring characters & the person in charge of budgeting not wanting to pay 3 more VAs, but it's still dissappointing

BRING BACK THE POLYCULE PLS I BEG

Also not to go into conspiracy theory mode... but Singular Acey seems really down bad for Bucky, and given that he's meant to fill the role of the aceys...

BACEY'S IS CANON IT'S CANON THEY'RE ALL DATING WOOOOOOO FUCK YEAH I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I am Delusional I am going Insane)

Bucky is unfortunately a mood-

I, too, am desperate for attention, annoying abt color theory to the point Ive gotten into fights about it, a lover of cool frogs, and won't stfu abt my pets

Wynter is also a mood but that's just cuz I have ADHD and she DEF has ADHD are you KIDDING ME-

Eliza making a version of the z-band to help Wynter focus actually really lends itself to the reading of z-bands as disability aids...

I think it's neat that Zed clearly still has strong oppinions abt the MLP rip off he watched as a kid. That is also a mood.

I'm starting to think that maybe everybody in this show is just a fuckin mood...

The depictions of siblings in this show, while not really a main focus, are really accurate lmfao

Also YES IM COUNTING ADDISON AND BUCKY FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

The interactions between Willa and Bucky in these episodes were all golden(even if they only interacted in like 2 of them-). I will never shut up abt how much I love them being friends.

It's funny how borderline photo realistic the Shrimpy model is

I was having trouble with the formatting in an ask so @sophie-the-diamond-fusion-hybrid​ here’s my answer to your question!

These are not in any particular order, but here goes!

1. Danny and Cygnus

This was not only fun to draw, it was fun to talk about! I didn't expect to get asked what the ferret's name was at all, but I had a delightful time thinking through the answer.

2. Lily and Abigail

I really enjoyed how @jus-a-lil-mouse​ picked out outfits that went together so well; it made it very easy for me to picture them sharing a scene, and from there I had such a lovely time

3. Extremely fancy Elena and Kamila

This may be the fanciest thing I've drawn in my life. I'm so proud of the magical, shimmering vibe it ended up with. Two fun facts: a) this program file was so big it regularly took over a minute to save b) I did accidentally flip who Mouse requested what outfit for

4. Micah's allergy

I was very bored and asked @thedreamer001​ what I should draw, and he supplied me with the text post, so I did then ask @premium-sky​ for ideas as to whom. I'm very proud of the chaotic energy it ended up with

5. Hoodie Thomas

The outfit was very fun and fitting without being too challenging, and I always love drawing Thomas!

6. Steph and Leah

The outfits are from different prompt lists I had sent Mouse over time, so I especially appreciated how they picked out a pair that matched!

7. Andrew's cool jacket

Not only do I adore drawing Andrew and found this jacket very fitting for his bright and silly disposition, but it was a fun challenge to try and make the material look shiny/waterproof. I don't think it quite succeeded, but I enjoyed it a lot

8. Dapper Chris

I just like drawing fancier clothing, and it was especially neat to try that with Chris, who as a default already dresses up a little

9. Sammy's little outfit

Sammy is one of my & Sky's ocs of whom I have the least sense of their personality, so I was really grateful to have a chance to feel him out some more and try to work on that. I'm still not quite there, but this was a fun combination, and I'm fond of how Sammy's hair looks slightly reasonable for once here

10. Danny and Annie

Reading up on someone else's really detailed oc is always a challenge; trying to portray them accurately and interestingly, giving someone something they'll enjoy when it's a character I've only just heard of, etc, so having the touchstone of a character I know and love in the mix was really helpful, and imagining what these two would do when hanging out was a blast

(To make this I heavily referenced the code here: TumblrTop10)

Bartleby. He is very cute.

Like literally one of the best looking scenes in the entire show is the bit where he licks the sandwhich Dae gave him. The way his eyes close and his ears go back makes me so happy I love it when animals do that

Also Bartleby screaming in Something to Tok About is a really funny gag Idk-

The animals in this show are all great tbh I love that so many characters get to have weird little pets

WHEN BUCKY MET BARKY IS SUCH A SWEET EPISODE SJFNVKEMFMEMDN

Bucky somehow picking up on Dae being an introvert before anyone else does???

The Trevor Tordjman jumpscare in Something to Tok About

Shrimpossible

Bucky loving cool frogs, mostly because it's a mood

Just Bucky in general tbh

Also I really like Dae! I was kinda worried she would be annoying, because one of her defining traits is how quirky she is and that kind of character can get annoying FAST, but so far Dae's actually been really fun!

Also I think it's very funny that her VA(Kayhun Kim) was in Cocaine Bear

The Mothership not being Ru Paul anymore. A VERY understandable choice(getting Ru Paul back would be EXPENSIVE), but disappointing none the less

The fact that Bree canonically writes fanfic about A-spen and Wynter because she has a weird disconnect between them being her friends and them being her favorite band-

The fact that Wyatt and Eliza actually got together and then broke up over the course of like, 5 episodes? Which isn't a bad thing! I think their relationship was actually handled really well, which is why I'm gonna be thinking about it a lot lmao

WE'RE BRINGIN IT IS STUCK IN MY HEAD AND I CAN'T GET IT OUT H E L P

Bucky and Willa being friends. Them being friends is very important to me.

Zeddison. Just Zeddison. I love them <3

Willa and A-spen BARELY interacting in the first 11 episodes :(

Willa and Bree friendship :)

Bucky and Dae friendship :)

S p a g h e t t i W a t e r f a l l

Im glad Trevor Tordjman is ACTUALLY singing again in the show. If you don't count rapping(which I don't bcuz rapping and singing require different skill sets), he hasn't had an actual solo part in anything since like. Fired Up Competition. Which is weird cuz he's actually a pretty decent singer???

I'm also glad we get to hear Kylee Russell sing more!!! Her voice is so pretty :)

The soundtrack in general is really good

Eliza singing a love song to a vending machine

Addison and Bree's joint hallucination being the thing to prove to them they're still besties. Only real ones share hallucinations fr

Coach and the Solstice Slasher being highschool besites???

RAZZMATAZZ!!!!!!!!

Just Coach and his relationships in general tbh

The poster of Eliza in Invasion of the Bucky Snatchers. That image is going to haunt my nightmares f o r e v e r

SERIOUSLY I LITERALLY CANNOT GET WE'RE BRINGIN IT OUT OF MY HEAD IT'S TOO FUCKING CATCHY-

Also my brain has constructed a version of It's Okay where Wyatt's part is replaced with the chorus of I'm Not Okay, I Promise by MCR and that won't get out of my head either 💀

Also also every time I see the title of that song I start thinking about It's Alright by Mother Mother?

Basically everytime I think about It's Okay I get every song EXCEPT It's Okay stuck in my head. For some reason

And then We're Bringin It gets sTUCK IN MY FUCKING HEAD AGAIN SERIOUSLY IT WON'T FUCKIN L E A V E

Bucky is canon m-spec and polyamorous that one scene in A Wyatt Place confirms it I'm nOT INSANE I'M NOT-

I miss the Aceys 😔

This show has a surprsingly similar sense of humor to South Park and Smiling Friends? Like obviously it's really toned down because Re-Animated is on fucking Disney Channel, but like... idk it has the same vibes

The Blob

At first I was kinda worried it would suck? Just bcuz everything felt... off. Y'know? Like they got a bunch of things that happened in the movie wrong, the most jarring(to me at least) being that Bucky appearently didn't know Addison wears a wig, that was kind of a big thing in the movie Idk why they cut it, and Addison's reaction to being outted. She was a lot less upset then she would've been in the movie continuity, and her running off instead of just. Putting her wig back on felt kinda ooc Idk- plus the whole premise just seemed really off. Seabrooke devolving into a wasteland of dance battles bcuz Zed and Addison didn't get together, while plausible I guess, just wasn't really explained well enough for me to get into it right away. Also Bucky was WILDLY out of character for a bit there I don't understand why he was okay with letting Bree be in charge... they don't even explain it like they did with Willa not being the alpha anymore it's just really weird!

All that being said though, I did still enjoy the special, despite it's flaws. It's one of those things where like... yeah the writing's bad, but my god was it fun to watch. The jokes were good as ever, the more minor characters like Bree and Bonzo got some time to shine, RACCOON WYATT RETURNED, we got to see more of Bucky hanging out with the werewolves(AND SPECIFICALLY WILLA!!!!!! BUCKY AND WILLA BEING BESTIES IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE THING!!!!!!!), we got to see Bree's fuckin. Panic bucket or whatever it's called again which was funny, and of course, the Zeddison was so fucking cute. If there's one thing you can count on Re-Animated to do consistently well, it's Zeddison. I also liked the remixes of the songs in this episode! It was fun seeing characters that weren't even close to singing the original songs getting parts in the revamps(like Eliza in Fired Up or Bucky in We Own The Night). The animation wasn't even that bad tbh. Like, it still wasn't perfect, but it was better than the animation in the shorts, and the dance animation specifically was really energetic and fun to watch.

Also appearently they're retconning Bucky being Addison's cousin on her mom's side? Which is kinda weird, but Ig I can see where they're coming from. Re-Animated is a very simplistic show very clearly aimed at people young enough to not understand how genetics work(which is why Addison's whole deal is kinda confusing and she kinda gets lumped in w/ the aliens most of the time), so it would make sense for them to change that aspect and have Bucky be her cousin on her dad's side instead. Makes things less complicated for the writers. Though FOR THE RECORD, in the movie continuity he IS her cousin on the mom's side, it's literally stated in Z3, so I GET TO KEEP DRAWING BUCKY PART ALIEN FUCK YOU IT'S MY HEADCAN-(I get shot with a tranquilizer dart to make me stfu)

So overall I'd rate this special at like a... 6.5/10 I think. It was confusing, kinda poorly paced at the start, and had some wonky characterization, but once it actually gets going and you start adjusting to the new setting it's a fun watch!

Wynter. Has a giant pet cricket. That nobody else knew about. Huh. Tbh it has the same energy as that time Kyle randomly had a pet elephant in that one episode, further adding to the similarities between these shorts and South Park, but I digress-
