Pink and Blue review: Twitchy and Squeak
15 years ago
General
Happy holidays, all! As the Pink and Blue Diaperfur Adventures finale looms (just posted the second-to-last part, and one part remains to go), it's time to look back on another of our half-housebroken heroes!
The fresh-faced, goggle-wearing bunny engineer Twitchy and his pocket-sized mouse partner, Squeak, together lead the Baby Blue tech support team in Hideout #4. They arrived with a bang—and a crinkle—as the second-string heroes of Damsel in Distress. Often snappish and sleep-deprived, the brilliant but emotionally obtuse bunny has had a bumpier ride than most of our heroes lately and been through up and downs not only with his boyfriend but his longtime partner in gadgetry Squeak. Some even think Twitchy is the real bad guy of the series. He’s certainly hopped from the nice to the naughty list and back again — so where will he end up in our final installment?
Maybe looking back on some of Twitchy and Squeak’s biggest moments will help us figure it out. Feel free to comment if you wish with your own suggestions, reactions to the picks, or your own thoughts about Twitch!
1) Twitchy and his buddy Squeak tag-team to thwart Lin Lin's trap for Baby Blue, saving the entire team from forced frilliness, by penetrating the panda's smokescreen, springing her blue-sympathizing teammate, Serafina, and arming Serry to help the boys, in Damsel in Distress, Episode 5: Failsafe!
2) Twitchy's deep dark secret is wrapped up in the memory of a heroic act he performed long ago, recollected in Open House, Episode 7: The Warren!
Bonus: We learn in this flashback where Twitchy got his goggles and how he met Squeak.
3) Squeak picks up on a signal and tag-teams with the high chair-bound Dex to get the coon free and help him bring the big top crashing down on some bad guys in Star Attractions, Episode 8:Anger Management!
4) Twitchy's wolf friend Rian helps him become comfortable with a side of himself he's always struggled with, and make a most—perhaps the most—important confession (it's "I love my diapers," obviously) in Damsel in Distress, Episode Three: Plots and Counterplots
5) The bunny steps up his long whispered-about nefarious plan to win over Dex, and it turns out to be . . . setting the coon up as the hero of the hour, and landing him a job! Then, high on the rush of his boyfriend's success, the previously hedgy Twitchy finds the courage to come out, in Open House, Episode 10: New Day!
6) The imprisoned Twitchy tricks the circus crew holding him captive into broadcasting SOS in Morse code, catching the attention of the friends on his trail, in Star Attractions, Episode One: Overlook!
7) When cornered by a collie reporter, Twitchy surprises his foe and himself and prepares to lay down what's been most important to him to protect the new life he built for Dex, in Level Five: Graduation, Episode Two: The Hop-along Kid!
8) Twitchy is the only one to get a glimpse of a horrifyingly different — and totally potty-trained — reality, in Twitchy Gets Lost! Naturally the bunny has a plan to undo whatever caused this cataclysmic shift in the space-time continuum, and get his buddies back in their diapers!
