Then I saw the episode Mission: Antarctica and I was like... Hmmm... viv, so you were wasting your animators' time by making such a random episode

[wolfram-but-art]

i thought i'd draw this since there's a lot of people that decided to follow me recently, felt adequate to finally introduce myself. also because it seems fun to do

a surprise to NO ONE i had ANOTHER ROYJAMIE DREAM LAST NIGHT

they were in amsterdam and after roy fell off the side of the road he refused to get on another bike but he also refused to sit with jamie on the single because he thought they would just crash again, so he demanded jamie find an alternative.

so jamie, instead of finding a tandem bike or something, decides to be a little shit. he somehow finds one of those little trailer thingys and MAKES ROY SIT IN IT LIKE A CHILD and he pulls him around the city for the rest of the night, infodumping and taking selfies of them while roy just sits in the little trailer, unable to do anything to shut him up, even though incredibly cramped up because his knee should not bend this far for this long

they pull up to the bus the next morning and the whole team is just so confused why jamie is pulling around a fuming, grumpy child until they realize that’s just their coach

it's moxxie day

you know what that means

i remember having a moment after i saw this calendar when the full moon first came out because aww look blitz makes time for his friends outside of work

and then i had another moment once apology tour came out because if that episode takes place on october 31st, full moon might take place in september, specifically in 2023

and if THAT's the case, then september 10th could very well be moxxie's birthday!! cos he's a virgo!!! yippee!!!!

okay that's not all this post is about but i didn't have it done in time for the weekend (fever things yay)

usually when i make these posts they pop into my mind as a header and the header for this one would've been "you ever notice how moxxie has trouble with running?"

but obviously that's kind of a boring ass post on it's own so i also talk about strengths/weaknesses, specifically in moxxie's case

"moxxie has trouble with running?" yeah, i think it's a fair claim

i'm pretty sure he has the most time spent running out of the entire cast, actually, but i'm cutting this post really close to midnight and i'll be damned if this doesn't go up on MOXXIE DAY on the MOXXIE RANT ACCOUNT during VIRGO SEASON

evidence:

murder family

-you can hear him panting during this little shot but it isn't heard when he runs back to the house later in the episode

loo loo land

-panting isn't heard but it's certainly seen

harvest moon

-emphasized how much trouble he has keeping up with blitz and striker

-i won't count the panting here since he was literally just being choked out but. running!

also, kind of unrelated: striker is literally backing him into a corner before this. scratches the door, closes it, backs him up against the desk--you know, signs someone's about to attack you?

but moxxie's still caught off guard, even though he mentions having an "instant dislike" of striker on first meet, and even though he's very skilled at dodging most projectiles.

so it's not that he can't detect oncoming danger, i think it's that it depends on the context in which the danger comes at him. moxxie can't tell that striker is intending threaten him through body language alone, he needs to go into a fight knowing that a fight is going to happen in the first place.

in cherub, the cherubs literally pull out angelic crossbows so it's fair to say moxxie's guard was up as soon as they got hostile. and also they all just indulged in blitz's wonderful mannerism of intentionally pissing people off for the sillies (and sometimes for the not-so-sillies), so he probably saw this coming anyways.

in truth seekers, blitz tackles moxxie to the ground so he doesn't get shot, but it only takes the portal being closed for him to go into fight-mode. in a similar fashion, blitz only tries to fight the agents after moxxie is shot with the tranquilizer. otherwise he's running away.

where did you learn parkour, little man.

but my last backing points about the running thing which kind of ties into what i'm saying here;

mission: antarctica

-they're all running from the hoard of penguins but moxxie falls behind millie and blitz

-millie seems to take notice of this and helps him run up the steps saying "mox, come on!"

think about that for a second. that doesn't seem like a line they wrote in initially, it sounds like something they added in after they saw the storyboards. moxxie falling behind isn't a detail super important in the context of the short, but could be an important detail overall.

especially if you compare this to the heist scene in exes and oohs. difference being chaz didn't stop to help moxxie but millie does.

so yadda yadda yadda, you could blame this all on coincidence but i think it's an implied struggle. solid "your curses are your blessings and vice versa" kind of thing we have going on here. your flaws are often correlated to your strengths.

to build on that idea, moxxie's an accurate and precise shooter but he lacks in physical strength compared to millie and blitz. moxxie's very agile (dude literally has no scars) but he has trouble running for long periods of time. he's great at finance and filing paperwork but it doesn't seem like he enjoys it.

he's got all these great skills but he has low self-esteem and an inferiority complex.

back on that striker point from earlier, moxxie's not so great at reading the room but he's pretty great at reading individuals.

-first meet with striker and he already has an instant dislike of him.

-gets thrown into jail and gets celled with a stranger but has an instant trust of him because he mentions his daughter.

-the ENTIRE drug trip sequence from truth seekers??? that almost 1-1 read he has on blitz, especially compared to blitz's interpretation of moxxie in HIS drug sequence? do you get what i'm saying here?

HMM i wonder why that might be??? surely not an ability he developed from his childhood??? or after being used/abandoned by chaz??? and all that quality time with his Papa??? surely not??????

okay i got it all out. happy birthday you little gremlin freak

not a running story from antarctica

[persnickety-doodles]

I just had an actioned packed dream featuring Korrasami on an Antarctic expedition with a plot similar to Aliens and I wish I was a writer damn 🥲

[danwhobrowses]

Okay sure just split the group again I'm sure nothing could go wrong this time dividing them into sub-groups to sting at high levelled and relatively unknown areas with high risk and high threat of boss level enemies in the vicinity and then go on another break to make us stew on that, it's fine IT'S FINE!

I love watching tours of Antarctic research bases. I love wondering how the **** someone got 16 unicycles shipped to the literal South Pole, and why.
