History of Cheat!-related Advent Calendar pages [Part 3/3]

Stepping up to the plate, we have December 5th, 2022.

Surprised this one wasn't bruce-related, but I cannot complain.

We have an animated comic that gives us a coherent look into Little Timmy's home life: He lives with his grandparents. Who terrorize him. Yay.

The fact that Timmy's folks are explicitly more concerned about him cheating on a school test than him regularly participating in underage (likely illegal) gambling is an amusing concept to me.

The art in this comic is VERY nice. Around 2021, some sort of positive shift must've occured in the art department, because the art for events and other adjacent things became consistent stunners. Hopefully this is a sign that their conditions are better behind the scenes?

Neither of the gifts for this entry were related to Cheat!, so whatever.

Another double-whammy year, we also have December 23, 2022.

Part of a larger animated comic with various other scenes, we have a simple shot of the Lucky Coin trio gettin' together for a game.

Aside from my gripes with bruce fingers yet again, the art here is very sharp and clean; a total redemption from whatever was happening in 2019.

One thing of interest that I want to note here is that this art depicts this game of Cheat! being held in a… Western saloon? Very interesting, I have no idea where that would even be located.

The relevant prize for this one is Winning Hand Foreground.

This one is honestly fantastic, and I'm surprised that something like it hasn't existed sooner.

Finally, bringing us up to date as of the making of this post, December 10th, 2023.

Leaving in the whole image because it's really cute and seeing representation for unconventional families, especially in kid-targeted media, is really important, but that's not what I'm talking about right now.

We're looking at the center, babyyyy!

Glad to see that, despite whatever was happening last year, they have a good relationship :)

I could be nitpicking right now, but it really doesn't deserve it.

So, yeah, very cute.

No prizes relevant to Cheat!

That's about it for this very specific list, and I hope it expands in the future. If I missed any, I'll change my name and move to Morocco.

She's kinda me.

I FINALLY HAD AN ART PIECE MAKE IT INTO THE GALLERY!!! Happy Bruce Day <3

History of Cheat!-related Advent Calendar pages [Part 2/3]

2016 spoils us with a second Cheat feature on December 14th, 2016.

Yet another animated short. Little Timmy is fed up with his embarrassingly lousy performance in Cheat! In a bid to finally see some success, he takes to the library, studying day-and-night with a written guide on how to cheat effectively. The kid strides up to the next Cheat! game with newfound confidence, and his studies immediately pay off; even Spectre's sharp eyes fail to read him as he's clearing the table. In the end, he proudly galumphs away with every chip. This one is... very ugly. The concept is fun and all, but it's a big eyesore, especially considering how relatively nice the other feature of this year looked. That stupid goddamn Fernypoo face really should've stayed in Lucky Coin.

The prizes for this day are Spectres Eyes Contacts and How to be a Cheat! Champion.

Those contacts are one badass wearable, lemme tell ya.

Our next entry is a whopping three years later on December 18th, 2019.

This is also an animated short, but half of the archive for this specific year is broken for no reason, so this screencap I dug up is all I have to work off of. Looking at this still, I'm not sure I want to see it in action. That art is *rough*. This short seems to star the Lucky Coin trio: Brucey, Fernypoo and... ... Who is that? Is that supposed to be Capara? Maybe??? Because that is NOT her. Why is she yellow??? That is one of the most obvious, gaudy, impossible-to-miss oversights possible. Another beautiful red kyrii erased from history... Also, Brucey has no reason to be drawn with gross little fingies here. Put those away. I know they're probably just sitting by a fireplace, but with the way this scene is composed, it looks like they're just burning shit in the middle of the room, watching the flames flicker with morbid satisfaction.

The Prizes for this day are Angry Capara Toy and Princess Fernypoo Gown.

OK, so Capara suddenly going bottle blonde isn't meant to be a redesign, because this toy of her is quite literally just a red kyrii. Honestly astonishing. The dress is a high-quality wearable, but to this day, they never did release a tiara to go with it.

Since this year is full of two-parters, we will be combining December 1st & 2nd, 2020.

Another animated short! There's a lotta these. Brucey and his unnamed xweetok girlfriend are enjoying a stroll together in the crisp winter air. After being reminded that the holidays are swiftly approaching, they each rush to the shops to get their last-minute gifts for each other. Brucey wants to get his unnamed xweetok girlfriend a comb for her hair but he doesn't have the funds for it, so he's forced to trade in his pocket watch (that he's famously always had). Unnamed xweetok girlfriend wants to get Brucey a new chain for his pocket watch but she doesn't have the funds for it, so she trades in her hair (the shopkeeper was just a freak like that, I guess). They reunite to discover their gifts for each other have been rendered useless by their sacrifices, and they thankfully just have a good laugh. It's just an ordinary spoof of The Gift of the Magi, but it's still really weird to me. Brucey B? In a stable, lasting romantic relationship??? Terrible characterization, gargantuan oversight. But seriously, I feel like this one shouldn't have been about Brucey at all. He's too rich and established as a character to be obligatorily shoved into a role like this. You could've replaced him with Hubert or some shit, and the story would remain the same. Also, this xweetok character practically isn't canon, because she is never shown or mentioned again.

Of the four prizes you get for these two parts, the only tangentially related item you recieve is Brucey B Watchchain.

Again, when I think of Brucey B, I think of his famous pocket watch that he's totally always had. All the other three are about the Xweetok; really cements the sentiment that they only included him here to fill in a blank.

My army, attack!!

[redkyrii]

Obsessed with drawing in this specific official art style, so you get all of the cheaters in it. Individuals under the cut.

Took me about a week to get through them all.

Also, this is your warning that I'm a bit insane about Cheat! and to expect me to post about it often.
