4	So you didn't expect this version of the ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''? Believe it or not, the {{Fandom}} has transformed the little, cute, colorful critters into really popular [[HumanityEnsues anime characters]], giving them depth and creating a lot of fan stories involving them.
5
6	Many can be seen here: [[http://www.zerochan.net/Happy+Tree+Friends?s=fav&t=0 Happy Tree Friends]] (you still have to make an account to see all the portrayals). Those who have a Platform/{{pixiv}}-account can find even more under the "HTF", "HTF擬人化" (Basically "HTF Humanization") and "ハピツリ" ("Hapitsuri") tags. The characters are human and [[CharacterDevelopment more developed]] than the actual, canon characters, though there is no possible way to join all the interpretations of a character into one.
7
8	!!!!!Note: This is only a large fanon creation, there is not an actual, official anime.
9	----
10	!!The most common themes or conceptions portrayed in the anime styled fanstories or fanart are:
11	%%* AbductionIsLove: Flippy with Flaky.
12	%%* AlternateUniverseFic: The Happy Tree Friends in high school.
13	* AnimeHair: Flaky is usually given long, spiky red long hair, simulating her quills. Petunia is also given a long ponytail, reflecting her big skunk tail.
14	%%* BetterAsFriends: Flaky and Nutty.
15	%%* BlackComedyRape: ''Really'' often used.
16	* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Giggles, Petunia and Flaky, although Giggles' strawberry hair is associated with strawberry blonde, while Petunia's blue hair is associated with black hair.
17	%%* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: [[AxCrazy Flippy]] and [[ProneToTears Flaky]].
18	* CharacterDevelopment: For all the characters, in many varying directions.
19	%%* CloudCuckoolander: Splendid, Nutty, Lumpy.
20	%%* ComedicSociopathy: When Flippy and Splendid meet.
21	%%* ComicTrio: Really often, [[EnsembleDarkhorse Flippy, Flaky and Splendid]].
22	* CovertPervert: Many characters, but especially Flippy (when it involves [[FanPreferredCouple Flaky]]) and Splendid (when it involves anyone).
23	* CrazyJealousGuy: Flippy whenever any other male character gets near Flaky. Bonus added with the fact that Flippy is portrayed as an [[MurderTheHypotenuse obsessive]] {{Yandere}}.
24	%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Most of the time.
25	%%* DarkAndTroubledPast: Flippy, from the war.
26	%%* DamselInDistress: Giggles for Splendid.
27	** Flaky is this too, for both Flippy and Splendid.
28	%%* TheDitz: Lumpy, Splendid, Nutty.
29	* EveryoneIsBi: (Excluding Ka-Pow! characters), and has been in relationships with members of both sexes in at least some stories.
30	%%* EvilLaugh: Flippy.
31	* FetishizedAbuser: Flippy towards Flaky. [[MurderersAreRapists He is a serial rapist in most pictures]].
32	* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Flippy, Splendid, Lumpy and The Mole are usually grouped [[http://www.zerochan.net/flippy%2C+splendid%2Clumpy%2C+the+mole together]] (sometimes called "[[FanNickname Four Gods]]"), since they are the characters who have the reputation of having the most kills:
33	** Flippy: The Cynic.
34	** Splendid: The Optimist.
35	** Lumpy: The Realist (he still has [[CloudCuckoolander his moments]], but he's closer to this than the others).
36	** The Mole: The Apathetic.
37	** And sometimes, Lammy is added as the Conflicted female of the group, since she's another, new character who has the reputation of being a killer ([[FunnySchizophrenia involuntarily, through Mr. Pickels, which is part of her imagination]]) in most of the episodes in which she appears.
38	* GenderBender: Though most characters have been bent a few times, Flaky is the most popular choice, mostly due to the fact that fans have been confused regarding her gender for a long time.
39	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Lumpy is very divisive in the west, but the Japanese love him.
40	%%* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The evil side of Flippy.
41	%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Cuddles and Toothy, Lifty and Shifty (at times - see above and below), Giggles and Petunia.
42	* HumanityEnsues: The characters are humans.
43	%%* IdiotHero: Splendid.
44	%%* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Flippy with Flaky, most of the time.
45	%%* IncestSubtext: Lifty and Shifty.
46	* TheIngenue: Giggles and Flaky. Giggles is a sort of [[GenkiGirl happier version]] of this trope, while Flaky is more withdrawn, timid and much [[ProneToTears easier to move to tears]].
47	* IntergenerationalFriendship: Many stories in which the difference in age between Flippy and Flaky is quite big.
48	%%* {{Jerkass}}: Lifty, Shifty, Nutty and the Ants (who only ever show up to torment Sniffles).
49	%%* MadScientist: Sniffles, sometimes.
50	%%* MurderersAreRapists: Flippy; combined with [[RomanticizedAbuse Rape Is Love]], when he does it to [[FanPreferredCouple Flaky]].
51	* OneHeadTaller: Lumpy whenever he's in a pairing. [[FridgeBrilliance Probably because he's taller than anybody else in the original series.]]
52	%%** Flippy and Flaky are often portrayed like this, too.
53	* OppositesAttract: Flippy and Flaky, Sniffles and Nutty (unless they're JustFriends).
54	* OutOfCharacter: Flaky is portrayed as having an evil side / being CuteAndPsycho in [[http://www.zerochan.net/Flaky%2COut+Of+Character?s=fav some pictures]]. Others see it as her evil twin. And others see it as her and Flippy's evil daughter, who took the looks after her mother and her father's insanity. This is most probably due to a really popular [[http://www.zerochan.net/Chama artist]] who created some pictures with the [[http://www.zerochan.net/305039 potential]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/336309 spawn]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/759803 of]] [[http://www.zerochan.net/1123752 Flippy and Flaky]].
55	%%* PrecociousCrush: Child Flaky on Flippy.
56	* PerpetualFrowner: Handy. Mostly due to the fact that he's frustrated because he is an amputee.
57	%%* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Whenever Splendid shows up to save her, they make up this duo.
58	* PluckyComicRelief: Splendid appears sometimes in Flippy / Flaky serious comics and wrecks the mood. Nutty too, but he appears less often than Splendid.
59	* RedOniBlueOni: Nutty and Sniffles. Splendont and Splendid are an inverted example color-wise, because, personality-wise, Splendid is the [[HotBlooded hot blooded]], enthusiastic of the two, while Splendont appears [[TheStoic stoic]] or deadpan most of the time.
60	* RomanticizedAbuse: Apparently... many people think Flippy's most attractive side is the fact that he murders and abuses (physically and mentally) everyone around him.
61	* PlatonicLifePartners: Cuddles and Flaky are shown to hang out together alone really often, but fans rarely pair them up or assume they have something going on. This is mostly due to the fact that Cuddles [[OfficialCouple has a canonical girlfriend - Giggles-]] and that [[FanPreferredCouple Flaky is automatically paired up with Flippy]], despite that she has hung out with Flippy less often than she has with Cuddles.
62	%%* RoseHairedSweetie: Giggles.
63	* ShownTheirWork: It's easy to brush fans off as only liking the art style or the characters, but much of the art proves how faithfully they watch the show. An excellent example is this very page image, which depicts characters in notable scenes throughout the series.
64	%%* SiblingTeam: Lifty and Shifty.
65	%%* SmokingIsCool: Flippy is often drawn smoking.
66	%%* TheQuietOne: The Mole, [[NotSoStoic most of the time]].
67	%%* ThoseTwoGuys: Lumpy and Russell.
68	* {{Tomboy}}: Flaky, even though she's this only when compared to Giggles and Petunia, mostly because [[OneOfTheGuys she hangs out with guys more than with girls]] and due to her lack of TertiarySexualCharacteristics in the actual show. When it comes to their personalities, she's [[{{Moe}} shy and quiet]] compared to them.
69	%%* TricksterTwins: Lifty and Shifty.
70	%%* {{Tsundere}}: Petunia is this, sometimes.
71	%%* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Again, Flippy, Flaky and Splendid. Cuddles, Giggles and Toothy.
72	* WifeHusbandry: There are many side-stories in which Flaky is under Flippy's care as a little kid or she befriends him when she's still a child, only to fall in love with him later. One example is [[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=15166935 here]].
73	%%* {{Yandere}}: Flippy with Flaky.
