I wish Tumblr had an option where you could add music to your posts like Instagram does. It'd be so silly, I need everyone in the world to know I have an awesome and cool and epic music taste!!!

Rewatching Gumball is knowing that while there is no actual real overarching plot the episodes are still so amazingly interconnected.
I love how they do foreshadowing, how they build on little moments that we see through out other episodes. It's Banana joe's mom's future paintings being a small joke in "The Shell". Rob being in the deleted place with all the forgotten things in "The Void" after we see that Gumball and Darwin have a hard time remembering him and then completely forget him once Darwin kicks him into the sewers a whole season earlier in "The Pony". He then literally still has parts of the void ingrained in his design when he comes back. It's the fact that Penny and her family being hollow shells with something inside was being played as haunting jokes for episodes before the one based entirely around it. It's the fact that characters like Sarah have always been a little fourth wall breaky and so an episode like "The Fan Fiction" is so completely in line with her character that it's unremarkable in context, hell there's an episode where she sings the ending song to end the show and avoid an awkward conversation her being able to take some control of the show feels like the natural evolution of that.
The background characters in gumball have such distinct personalities that have been pretty consistent and built upon since season 2 which is completely insane and unprecedented for an episodic 2010 children's cartoon. The show might not have had an arc but it has always been continuous.
You do really get the sense that this is a world where everyone is very hyper-aware of the rules in which they operate. The show might reset at the end of the episode but the people don't
Sighh I love Rob as much as the next guy, but I can't keep silent on this. His pre-void design is so god damn UGLY
LIKE EWW WHAT THE HELL IS THIS. WHAT IS THAT STUPID KAREN HAIRCUT. Why does it look so poorly photoshopped on, it's painful to look at. And the hands, don't get me started ON THE HANDS. WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE THAT. THE FUVKIN FINGER NAILS ARE GROSS. And with those stupid shoes, mf looks like he's about to start hitting a jig. And might I add that is the saddest backpack I have ever seen. Who allowed this design, I know he's a background character but still âšī¸
Oh and don't even get me started on season 1.
This thing follows me in my nightmares. You know when looking at the old concept posters for tawog you can see Rob... And he doesn't actually look that bad. Like
He actually looks kinda silly y'all, the hair still kinda sucks but it's not as bad, also doesn't have that sad sad backpack. Why couldn't this Rob be the final one, sighhhh đ
A lot of pre void rob art makes him look super cute and I'm like aww the silly!!! I start to actually like his design and then I get jumpscared by whatever the hell canon is doing. I might be a die hard Rob fan but I can't glaze him I'm sorry.
I think he should be grateful for the void now he looks cool, I am an enjoyer of his Post-void design it is banger. Did he get permanently disfigured, have temporary amnesia, have everybody lose memory of who he used to be, be assigned a role he doesn't wanna play, deal with the knowledge that he's created purely for the amusement of an audience and has to be entertaining otherwise he'll get sent into a pocket dimension of eternal limbo? Yes. But does he have those stupid elf shoes and that ctrl+c ctrl+v haircut anymore? No. The pros outweigh the cons guys.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
just a silly guy! who's definitely not wanted for mass murder! so stop asking!
I love her design it's a shame they scrapped her after one episode </3
Crappy Rachel doodles below the cut!!
Her hair is very fun to draw hehe
Sighhh the rob brainrot is getting too strong. Someone should totallyyy talk about him with me.
I made this in 10 minutes just take it man.
