I feel like you would love Wander Over Yonder.

I WOULD AND I DO!!!!! I’VE SEEN WOEFULLY LITTLE OF IT and really, really, really want to commit to it. both times i’ve tried to watch it i’ve loved it immensely. i really need to commit myselffffff!! but in what very very little i’ve seen i’ve adored it. i love the energy i love the cartooning I LOVE WANDER!!!!!!!!!! i feel like since i’ve gotten into LT, where every character is some sort of absolute freak and has their own unique set of issues, i haven’t been Advertising my sheer adoration of obnoxiously happy little guys (to the chagrin of everyone around them). characters like SpongeBob, Lazlo, Chowder, Stimpy…. it’s definitely my favorite character archetype and Wander more than fits the criteria which is why i need to watch!!!! i’ve had multiple people say it’s an Eliza Show and i very much stand by that having only seen like 2 episodes

also, the prophecy is fortold because i drew this exact pose with Lazlo and Lumpus once upon a millenium. which i can’t look for right now because i’m on mobile. but mark my woids.

#anonymous #asks #I LIKE #i consider Daffy sometimes to be a de facto member of this archetype #which is funny because he’s most known for being a miserable asshole #and even in the examples i’m thinking of he’s still an asshole. and can be prone to miserable tendencies #but the 40s duck there is a subset of shorts where it’s like #he’s committed to his mission and will act congenial and nice and pleasant to his adversaries and often doesn’t know or care that they’re #adversaries and keeps annoying the hell out of them and is never discouraged or beaten down #and it’s so pleasant and genuinely inspiring to watch #The Stupor Salesman comes to mind in that regard and that’s one where he does get annoyed at times!!!!#or like ummmm. Scrap Happy Daffy where he finds this Nazi goat and his first instinct is to make a sales pitch for an alkaseltzer to #alleviate an upset stomach. obviously he doesn’t know the goat is a ‘Nat-zee’ yet and is quick to reverse course #but just that his first instinct of dealing with this enemy is to call him condescending endearing nicknames (‘it’s a poor little sick #billy goat! hey William!’) instead of being like WHO ARE YOU WHY ARE YOU HERE #stuff like that is why i have clung to him so ferociously and find great empowerment in his unflappability and steadfast determination #and i’ve also clung to him because of his flaws and chips and stuff as well #i love Daffy Duck this is not new
