#sorry for the long ramble about something you didnt actually ask my opinion on xx

Seeing your takes on Flippy, I do wish he wasn’t a split personality type and he was moreso just like seeing anything horrible happen would make him get extremely worked up and try to murder the person/thing that is causing the trouble. I feel like he should also just hate war because of the morality behind it and that’s why he gets that pissed off, because he feels war is an injustice and he’s doing his part to stop injustices (in his eyes) so that the world will be less corrupt

flippys an odd case bc just going by early episodes it doesnt seem like they were going for the evil alter hollywood DID route. just look how many times he supposedly "comes to his senses" only to continue doing fucked up shit! even in his debut episode

hes clearly got his normal eyes (he actually has them throughout the episode, except for the initial time where he hears the bird and his pupils contract, his eyes are completely normal. his pupils are contracted throughout his "episode" in the second ep he stars in)

even though the others presumably helped kill flaky, he was the only one to laugh, and hes clearly "flippy" in this case (and i KNOW he was originally gonna be pop so this one is to be taken with a grain of salt, but they specifically chose to switch pop out with flippy bc they didnt think pop would intentionally kill someone but flippy would)

flippy lucid again but still decides to dip his chips in cuddles' blood

its not until the last episode batch of the tv series where flippy and "fliqpy" (I LITERALLY HATE THE NAME FLIQPY SOOOO MUCH. NO ONE ON THE TEAM USES IT. SHUT THE FUCK UP IT WAS A SINGULAR GAG FROM KAPOW) are actually portrayed as two separate identities

since the team said themselves what they wanted to do with the tv series was give characters more personality traits with the longer time slots, i think this was definitely a "new thing", like giggles' environmentalism and cuddles' rocker aspirations. and, this part is just a hunch, i think it was also DROPPED, like giggles' environmentalism and cuddles 'rocker aspirations, since it has never been treated like a split personality since. without a hitch, on my mind, random acts of silence, by the seat of your pants, in over your hedge, a vicious cycle: NOTHING points to "fliqpy" being flippys alter. we dont see anything he acted like in hear today gone tomorrow or double whammy: none of the guilt, none of the nightmares, none of the Oh No I Have Killed When I Was Out, the one time we actually see him "snap out of it" he doesnt fucking care that he just attacked probably his only friend, because hes ACTUALLY fucked up

so. this has just been a long way to say i dont actually think they intend for him to be a split personality stereotype. i think they did obviously go that route briefly in the tv series but, again, so many character traits were tv series exclusive, and treating this one like it isnt when it was dropped? like ok you do you i also pretend giggles still cares about the environment but PERSONALLY. dont see flippy as a that for anything more than the two tv eps. i think hes just the one guy who gets in Moods, he doesnt have a bastardised mangling of dissociative identity disorder, if anything he has bipolar disorder LOL. i leave you with
