I apologize if this thread is a bit messy structure-wise, I tried my best to make it the best I could, and I’d say I’m mostly proud of what I made: mainly in terms of analysis.

Feel free anyone reading to let me know what I did right/wrong or if this thread is any good at all.

~ Conclusion -

I don’t have much else to say, Vixen & Ashley, if either of you read this far, thank you both so much for not only bringing Zooble & Gangle to life, but generally being lovely people: donating to charities, being lovable on your social media feeds, etc.

Gangle & Zooble Watch Episode 7 With YOU! (For Charity!)

I mentioned earlier, Vixen’s range in emotions for Gangle is incredibly vast, which for a character that goes from being able to change emotions on a dime to being more developed later on, that’s very important!

I’m not an expert at analyzing VA work, but I hope I explained myself well.

Despite just being a deeper version of her regular voice, Ashley does an incredible job at disappearing into the role, and based on livestreams, does a lot of preparation in the episodes to make Zooble sound just right, props for how much effort she puts into Zooble!

🐰Voice-Acting🦌

Both Ashley & Vixen go for differently-toned voice directions that are both great for their characters.

Gangle sounding higher-pitched & energetic, while also doing an incredible job at sounding sad when needed. Zooble sounds more grouchy, yet can well-shift tones too.

Those gimmicks being, what else, what aids their characters/arcs.

That said, I want to make something clear, these characters are written deeper than “gimmicks to aid arcs.” They both have personalities that go beyond that. They are actual characters with interests, likes, dislikes, etc.

I adore how Gangle doesn’t realize or is told by Zooble that they went through the same thing, yet this shot of Zooble reflecting off Gangle’s mask says it all to the viewer, they have much more in common than Gangle realizes.

It all starts with Zooble questioning their & Gangle’s gimmicks.

I absolutely have to talk about this scene. Gangle asking Zooble an important question: “How are you supposed to love a part of yourself that’s worse than everyone else.” A question Zooble was questioning in episode 3.

And while trying to comfort Gangle, Zooble realizes their own advice.

Compare it to the mask Gangle wore in episode 4. It was fake-happiness, Gangle wasn’t embracing who she was & she was miserable. In the beach episode, she’s wearing a beach outfit & seems a lot happier despite the tears in her mask.

This is likely due to Gangle & Zooble’s talk in episode 6.

For starters, there’s aspects of character design that seem like visual aesthetic, but I believe might have deeper reasoning to them: One example being Gangle’s beach outfit in episode 7.

It’s a long shot, but I think it’s a sign that Gangle is developing as a character happiness-wise?

This is also where me analyzing the friendship between these 2 characters comes into play, I’m studying these 2 characters in the same thread for a reason.

I love the relationship between these 2 in the show & how Gangle basically idolizes Zooble at one point in episode 6.

~ How Their Designs Aid Their Characters -

I’m not just saying things like “Zooble’s bizarre design aids the fact they have body dysmorphia very well.” That’s true, but it goes deeper.

I love how every character represents something akin to our world except for Zooble (jester, chess, etc.)

Otherwise, I love a lot of the little visual details, mainly on Zooble.

Many visual aspects of Zooble aid their character and we’ll get to that, but polka dots! Simple, it’s an extra detail they didn’t have to do, but did! It’s closer to what creepers are actually like than simple green.

Gangle being able to extend her ribbon body was such a smart decision for her character from the pilot! She’s the one character in the show that could have fallen down the gloink pit the way she did!

And the extra touch of the mask bounce is also great, taking advantage of the entire design.

~ The Designs (In Their Own Right) -

My favorite aspect of these designs (maybe) detached from their characters is how their designs allow for creative limb movement/visuals, like these 2 examples in episode 4.

Zooble trying to use a spatula as a limb sounds so obvious, yet it’s so genius!

I’ll split this thread into 4 sections:

1. The designs (in their own right)

2. How the designs aid their characters (+ who those characters are)

3. Voice acting

4. Conclusion

Also #shoutout to an artist I’ve been following for years now, Kim. Specifically her KoFi. Not sure how she’s doing monetarily rn but just in case, feel free to help her out if you can, she’s a great artist either way so you might as well support her for that reason if you can + a lovely person.
I'm going to be moving out in a week and also getting my wisdom teeth removed though because I'm moving out it's gotten a bit rough with so much I have to spend as a whole. I'll be having my kofi link up below for any donations or just general help sharing around ; v ;
