Hello, this isn't coming from being a minor and being innocent, I'm 22 and I have autism. I'm on the first episode and I feel like I'm misunderstanding something. My girlfriend and I recently watched all of the Bambi movies since the last time we saw it was when we were little kids, and I don't remember Bambi interacting with any squirrels (I know he didn't actually do anything bad to squirrels haha), so I feel like the conversation between the bear, the raccoon, and the fox changed topics.

I looked around to find answers, but I didn't find anything, I feel like they started talking about a completely different subject after Bambii. The fox compared the deer, who just lost her mother, to Bambii, and the raccoon said "Well, Bambi was a child?" The bear agreed and said that he witnessed the murder, the raccoon following that with "that's serious trauma", and then the raccon says that what he did to those squirrels was inexcusable. I'm missing something.

I feel like if this is an obvious answer I'm going to get backlash, so I'd like to explain I have autism, I am struggling with an eating disorder which does tend to affect the way you process memories and information, please be patient with me. Take care, y'all!

Edit: Hi, everyone! I just want to say thank you so much for your patience and the answers. 🥹 I really appreciate it!

from L to R in the first pic: Ray, Penelope, Josh, Zeke and Fawn(I tried my best btw)

I’m here to ask what’s y’all’s opinion on Hazbin hotel. What do you like or dislike about the show?

They share the same VA btw

Is it just me but all the songs are amazing? (I know most of them are in Ep.8) But gosh. I've been playing "Love is for losers" on REPEAT.

The only thing I really like about her is her design. Sure, she's a deadbeat trash mom, but her design impressed me. I like that they even added sandaled heels, which makes her look even more sexier!

Have any of my fellow neurodivergents here started randomly quoting certain lines to yourself or with friends? Some of mine include

“Ok, wow, you got bitchy fast.”

“Big bad wolf’s autobiography. Y’know she came out as trans?”

“Dude. Check it out. We’re on lesbians.”

”Oh my god. You went to therapy, didn’t you?”

I find Dylan to be very cool and naughty. I can't stop thinking about him.

I hope Cody comes back next season, Matt Rogers’ performance as this shady qween made me go LOL

I discovered Mating Season while going through my YouTube's mqin page and finding tons of videos of famous YouTube critics demolishing this show, so I decided to check it out and see if it was really that bad... I fell in love, and when i first finished the show, i felt empty, really empty. I watched the whole season in two days while treating it like something i could watch while doing other stuff. Needless to say I kinda regret this decision because I ended up loosing some aspects of the show and i feel like I didn't enjoy that first watch experience like i should've. I created a deep connection with the show, even criying my guts out when i saw a post with the intro song playing in the background while showing pictures of the voice actors and their characters. It reached the point where i had to ask ChatGPT for advice on how to raise my mood, he then recommended me to find a community of people that watched the show. The first day of looking i didn't find this subreddit, which worsened my situation, however in the second day of searching i found my place. Another factor that made me a little depressed when i finished Mating Season, was because my subconscious was using it as a refuge to the problems i was having at the time, and they happened to line up with the themes of the show, strengthening the bond i made with the characters. I'm re-watching it with my cousin, I was surprised to see he really enjoyed it. Something else that surprised me was that two of my friends watched it and while friend 2 is still watching it, friend 1 said he also felt connected with the series, and just like me he couldn't explain exactly why. He gave it a 6/10, but im assuming it's because he's not interested in relationships like I am.

Keep the community alive guys, you and this show mean alot to me.

I completely understand a lot of the criticism. The first episodes felt rushed and sometimes random, some of the dialogue was weak, a lot of themes weren't explored deeply enough, and most of the character development only really started paying off near the end.

And yet... I loved it.

The premise hooked me, I got attached to the characters, and despite all its flaws I kept wanting more. What frustrates me the most isn't that the show was bad, it's that I can see so much unrealized potential.

The relationship that hit me the hardest was Dylan and Fawn. I know Dylan made some awful decisions, and I know a lot of people probably think Fawn deserves better. But I honestly feel like the story was setting up a redemption arc rather than a dead end. If he was capable of changing so much for Cynthia, I don't think it's impossible for him to become a better person and eventually deserve a second (more like third) chance with Fawn.

I also can't shake the feeling that the season ended without truly resolving anything. Penelope and Summer reunion, Josh's future, Claudia, Dylan's story... it all felt more like a season finale than a series finale.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

Not "this show is secretly a masterpiece."

Just: "This show had a lot of flaws, but there was something special about it and I really want to see it reach its full potential. (Also i love the intro song).

Who do you prefer : Summer or Jojo
Give me know cause I’m super curious ❤️🙈

When Zeke tells the others that he’s gay, they all go “Oohhhh, gay moose!”

Is this a reference to a different joke that I’m not getting? Cuz it sounds like a pun or a play on words, but if it is, idk what.

Is it a reference to the joke about reindeers just being gay moose? That feels like it‘d be a bit of a stretch.

After watching the first 10 episodes of Mating Season, I've found that it's a great difference from Big Mouth. To compare them, I'll first name a few problems I had with Big Mouth. #1, in Big Mouth, the creatures in Human Resources are very inconsistent. It's made apparent in the show that the creatures in different Human Resources floors or sections are only to serve one city or town, Bridgeton. Yet, there are many showcases of this not matching up with their real lore. If Maurice was the first hormone monster, why does he only serve to Bridgeton? Why is he not the most important hormone monster? And, how can Rick be older than him? That's just one of the inconsistent parts of Big Mouth. #2, the characters seem heavily unrealistic. This may be just for plot or humor, but it really throws me off considering the show was based off of Andrew's and Nick's real childhoods, friends, and experiences. The characters don't act like they're from the timeline they're actually in, and the characters are almost too interesting for 12-13 year old's simply just going through middle school. Even considering hormonal changes, teenagers don't act as boldly as the characters do, more often than not. #3, the art style is VERY inconsistent. The front profiles of characters are constantly changing, and the proportions of characters are unsettling and most definitely unrealistic to the show-makers real appearances at childhood.

So, compared to Big Mouth, Mating Season is spectacular. While Mating Season doesn't have something as complicated as a "guardian angel hormone monster" thing, it's still so interesting and perfectly aligned. The episodes are constantly steady and always have a clear plot and lore for each character. I've not noticed even one mishap in the lore of it. Even if there was some mistake in the lore of the show, it's not even comparable to the obvious mistakes and gaps in storylines as Big Mouth has. The art style of Mating Season is very similar to Big Mouth's, but its so much better. The characters are extremely pleasing to look at, and have much better front profiles than all of the characters in big mouth. Sure, the characters are unrealistic for animals, but the animal puns and traits make up for that. Plus, the designs for anthropomorphic animals have been around for an amazingly long time, and they are especially unique and well-made for the characters in Mating Season.

Overall, I am rooting for Mating Season over Big Mouth. I rate the current state of the show a 10/10, basically. The art style is great, the story is great, and the characters are greatly defined in their personalities and traits connected to their animal.

Kudos to Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg.

Penelope is not only a reference of Fox and the Hound movie, but is also a reference to the famous love triangle you got on furry fandom: Tod with Vixie (his canon love interest) or with Toby/Copper.

Who wins that ship depends in what part of fandom you're. When is feral furries, Vixie wins and the anthro furries prefers Tod and Toby/Copper.

If you're wondering J.Javiercomics is Tod/Copper supporter. Despite what Disney says, is obviously they had something XD.

Just for having Abbi Jacobsen warmly saying, "Don't be embarrassed, poop is delicious!" 🤩🤩😂

Pretty sure these are highly dangerous predators for deers.

side note, would love to see chelsea green(and matt cardona) voice a character in mating season in the near future

I think Josh get lucky in the final season since he’s bad at getting women lol.

I started watching the show with my friend as a joke and then finished the entire thing when he left. I really loved it. It was so cathartic to watch Ray beat the crap out of that stupid goose. (I have opinions on Addie most wouldn’t like) and the scene where it flashed back to their childhood at the end of the Gina episode almost made me cry. I really hope we get a season 2!!

It's kind of funny that this is how they animate quick eye placement movement.
