History Headscratchers / HappyTreeFriends

* Why don't Giggles, Petunia and Flaky have any [[NonMammalMammaries breasts]]?

** Probably to avoid further FurryConfusion. That one bear is the only time a species has been on different points of the scale.

** Oh they have bones; skeletons pop out (of them) all over the place. [[RuleOfFunny Rule Of]] [[YourMileageMayVary Attempted]] [[RuleOfFunny Funny]] is firmly in place, is all.

* This is more the fandom rather than the series itself. As a YaoiFangirl, I understand entirely about making the human representations of the Happy Tree Friends characters bishounen. (Yes, I'm looking at you, Japanese Fandom) And of course, as the most prominent EnsembleDarkhorse of the series, Flippy is one. THE PROBLEM is, if the theory about him fighting in VietnamWar was right, Flippy SHOULD be around 40 YEARS OLD. FREAKIN' 40 YEARS OLD, NOT A TEENAGER WITH [[BishieSparkle BISHIE SPARKLE]]. I seem to be contradicting myself for saying that I'm a YaoiFangirl, but I'm one that don't mind an older guy in the gang. My point is, why can't they just make him a lot older?
** It's anime. It's FLIPPY. The most popular character in the series and probably in the cartoon fandom. He ''has'' to be handsome, cute, gorgeous or whatever you want him to be so you can fantasy about him. The sexy psychopath is the standard image for the popular EnsembleDarkhorse - DracoInLeatherPants character. Or else he wouldn't be Flippy. That's how most fans think. Sad, but true.
** Young fits him better to most people (I can't really picture him being a senior either, he acts and looks too young), and he needs to be handsome. Also, he technically still be fifty (I've seen some nice looking sixty - seventy year olds, in a non-sexual way but still pretty fit and young looking). I'd say he's in his thirties at best, most likely fifty. 40 year olds can look pretty young.

** Okay, let's put this clear: Flippy NEVER was in Nam. He was in the W.A.R. fighting Tiger General. They never said they were fighting in Vietnam. I don't think there is such thing as Vietnam or even the United States in the HTF universe. So, he may just have fought in a war just a few years ago, so he would be in his late twenties, since he looks very young in the W.A.R. Journal.

** It's {{Still The Eighties}}?

** Oh, hell, the Flippy/Flaky shippers are [[ really]] [[ taking]] [[ over]]. ''Without A Hitch'' was apparently made by the creators because there were too many requests for Flippy/Flaky episodes.

* Why aren't there any avian tree friends? Are birds too difficult to animate?

* Am I the only one who thought Flippy was a dog at first? It's not that he looks like one (most characters look like teddy bears with a few extra traits, anyway) it's just that...hmmm, I don't even remember why I made that flunk.

* I agree that Flaky is most likely a girl. But why are there so many humanizations portraying her wearing feminine clothing, sporting a visibly womanly figure, having TertiarySexualCharacteristics, and generally appearing obviously female? It's not that I think RealWomenNeverWearDresses, it's just that AmbiguousGender is such an integral part of Flaky's character.

** He's just crazy in general, I guess, without any particular specific illness.

* Does Flippy have PTSD or split personalities? Or is it both? He apparently isn't conscious when he's flipped out, since he doesn't remember anything when he was on a killing spree. Also he seems to have created Evil Flippy by his desperation to live in the WAR Journal.
