The Freaks [original animation meme]

A small character introduction :]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S o n g: The Freaks by The Tiger Lillies
W I P:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backstories ( I swear it's the last time when I'm writing something this long, it's just too painful ;_; and sorry for my broken English)

‣ FreakShow:
The main villain of this story. Unlike SamoDobro, I think it's free to say that he's a villain, there's almost zero good in this guy.
FreakShow used to be a humble, hard-working person who had a job at the Clock Factory. Until the time he snapped due to overwork and after discovering something he calls "the Universe's biggest secret".
Now he's a well known Robot Circus owner and a great magician. He travels around the Infinity House, occasionally recruiting new workers. If only people knew the awful secret behind his success.
Years of abusing his coworkers, taking advantage of them, just to throw them away, destroyed and broken, when they aren't needed anymore.

‣ WendallPie:
WendallPie as an aspiring acrobat and performer looked up to FreakShow and eventually got the opportunity to work with him. From the start a few things seemed off, but WendallPie was too naive back then to care. Because why their idol would have any bad intentions? Guess what, he had bad intentions and WendallPie ended up with their head decapitated.
WendallPie's head was laying helpless in the trash can. It probably would stay there forever if CreeCree hasn't witnessed the events. CreeCree took WendallPie's head with him and even managed to get a robotic body for them.

‣ CreeCree:
FreakShow's first collaborative. CreeCree was the person who gave FreakShow the idea to run a circus. When things started to go downhill, CreeCree willingly "left" to avoid any unnecessary fights. In reality, he keeps an eye on FreakShow by stalking him.
He plans to attack and ruin Freak's career, but he's not sure how to do that yet.
(WendallPie and CreeCree are in a relationship)

‣ CatFigure:
The second victim.
Professional fire show performer, he's one of very few people who can be a possible threat for FreakShow. CatFigure is the reason why Freak's arms and wings are deformed. They had a huge fight, which CatFigure won, but they've accidentally burned CF's whole neighborhood down.
After loosing his old home, CatFigure joined CreeCree's "freakshow hate group"

‣ WhatWho:
WhatWho has never worked with FreakShow, but their partner (named LostMedia) has. WhatWho tried to defend LostMedia form the terrible faith, but FreakShow took that as an opportunity to toy with them. He twisted WhatWho's head upside down, this caused their vision to distort in a way everything and everybody seemed to be hostile. WhatWho ended up attacking both LostMedia and FreakShow.
After calming themselves down, WhatWho felt too ashamed to talk to LostMedia again and left.

‣ EyeHatted:
The penultimate FreakShow's victim.
EyeHatted is a dancer and a good actor. They're are an extremely clever but a dishonest person, on top of that they have multiple alter egos. For most of the story they played as an antagonist, as they were helping FreakShow.
EyeHatted was aware that he is a bad person, but he flattered their ego with complements and overwhelmed with attention, which EyeHatted just couldn't resist. Nobody was so kind to them before.
You can guess what have happened next, deforming time!
--------------------------------
Currently FreakShow is helping SamoDobro. His last collaborator.

(all of these characters are hosthoaxes, an immortal species made by me. Expect for FreakShow, who's a timewalker, the third immortal species, similar to hosthoaxes. Timewalkers can be found ONLY in the Clock Factory, so not many hosthoaxes acknowledge their existence.

Your style is so unique and if someone showed me a screenshot of any of your animations I would know exactly who it is, your content is so fun to watch :0

[tiredcaet]

Being able to animate such complex character designs that smoothly is astounding to me

[ARandomArtPerson]

I love how all your animations include mixed media, and your unique lineart style! Colour wise and characters, they look so endearing yet so unsettling and that’s worth applauding!

[soulrenvods]

A group of weirdos and freaks who may not work well with the rest of society, or even sometimes each other, but consider themselves family and would do anything for each other will forever be my favorite trope. And what utterly incredible art and everything else as well! It reminds me of the feeling one gets when seeing quilts as a kid.

[sir_fluff]

i'm so jelous of your background composing skills...like hskdwhfeugdja 😭💖
amazing job as always!!! sliding this to my "to do memes" list rn 😎

The guy with the flaming stick was very eye catching; not only can you animate fire well, but you can draw posing like you were born with a pencil in-hand? Wild.

[echothefreak]

0:24 I especially love the detail that part of it is low fps, part of it is high fps, and one is tweened. It really adds depth the the animation.

[dannyboyneverdies]

I love the way the designs are all really complex but still harmonious, not many people I know of could properly design characters with as many features as yours without making them look cluttered, but these all work perfectly in this style. Great job!

[Grcefullife]

I really like WhatWho’s and Cat-Figure’s design, adore your ability to make creative and well thought out characters, btw thank for this lovely animation to cheer me up after re-watching King’s Tide again. And after you’ve got some rest maybe explain the back story of some of these characters? I’d love to read them

[forgotten_panic]

Woah, this feels like the opening of a show.

[caoimhedoesstuff]

Your animation would fit perfectly in a kids cartoon that people would watch 10 years later and think ‘how the hell were kids allowed to watch this’ and I mean that as a compliment

i really love this animation and these characters are overwhelmingly beautiful. i’m so proud. 💖

[newtsinsuits]

Perfect representation for the spiral or the stranger

[kittycatwild]

I still can't get over how incredible your animations are. I always find myself enjoying them more and more each time I watch them. Something about them is so alluring and smooth, just well-done with a lot of thought and creative ability placed behind them. The lore is always so fascinating, as you can create terms that are engaging, and the designs of the characters fit so well with this chaotic world that you've built. I honestly see the style being placed in a video game of some sorts, it's just unique.

[cello_shelli]

YOUR ANIMATION STYLE, THE AESTHETICS AND THE. DEDICATION IN UR VIDS IS AMAZINGGGgggg deserves way more attention

[cedarthecloudfox]

THIS LOOKS SO COOL ?!?!? your artstyle is stunning and so unique and the animation is so fluid !! i adore all the characters aswell !!

[earth]

Your animations are INCREDIBLE. Seriously. Like, if you told me a whole team made this, I'd probably believe that -- but one person, animating this smoothly, this expressively, with so much color and such rich movements and backgrounds.. it's hard to believe. The mixed media, the motion, it really feels so wonderful.

My god. You're going to make even more fantastic things in the future, I just know it.

[plush.mp]

Character's designs, the animation, color palette, editing...everything is *freaking* awesome in this video!

[crumb.crumblet.S.crumbington]

this is so awesome all the movements r so smooth and fluid! so amazing!

[screech]

You're seriously one of the best animators on the internet! Your style is so unique, and your characters are always so cool. (I also think lots of people can agree that your animations are REALLY smooth and fun to watch!)
