Some runners up from icon changing:
[ID: A screenshot of a dialogue sprite for Beat when shocked from The World Ends With You, here focused on Rhyme, in Noise form, sitting on his shoulder covering her face with her paws, her fur standing pointily on end and her eyes wide. End ID]
Several variations of Noise Rhyme but I was leaning towards this one for the facial reactions.
[ID: Official artwork of a Chipsqueek from the Rune Factory series, a squirrel-like monster with pinkish red fur over most of its body and pale yellow fur on its belly, face, paws, the underside of its tail, and the inner portions of its long, tufted ears. It has a darker red stripe on its tail dividing the red and yellow sections, like a chipmunk, and looks at the viewer with sparkly round eyes and a small smile. It is holding a large acorn-like nut in its paws. End ID]
Continuing the squirrel theme, Chipsqueek!
[ID: Official artwork of a Ribbitee from Rune Factory 5, a round, bipedal pink frog with a lighter pink underbelly, simple cartoon limbs, a happy smile, cheek blushes, and red eyes with cross-shaped pupils. It is holding a lily pad on a stalk in its hand. End ID]
A Ribbitee, in either “cute” or “violence” mode.
[ID: Official artwork of Yuelia from Fantasy Life, a young goddess with pale skin, pale blonde hair worn in small curling pigtails on either side of her face with thick bangs, and deep blue eyes with diamond-shaped pupils or shines. She wears a white hooded robe trimmed in gold, with long loose sleeves and a rounded collar with a crescent moon symbol, a necklace of large white pearls or beads, and a teal rectangular geometric fabric trimmed in gold down the front cinched with a white belt, along with sandals with high, wide ankle straps. She is depicted floating just off the ground, an awestruck look on her face as her hair and clothing float with her, and golden balls of white surround her. End ID]
Yuelia, for Excellent Face Potential there.
[ID: Enemy art from the Kingdom Hearts mobile games showing a Loudmouth Heartless. End ID]
And a Loudmouth, because looking through after realizing I was gravitating towards Creatures it just stuck out to me.

I'm back with more absolutely rabid analyzations!
I've kinda had this circling my mind for a while, but every time I find myself relistening to falsettos (the 2016 revival) I notice a very specific difference in the way marvin/christian borle sings from act one and two.
like, I'm sure it's MEANT to be different, of course, it's a sung-through musical and a difference in the way the actors sing when time passes makes logical sense...
but I've always kinda realized that in certain parts marvin just... has a higher voice, especially in act two.
there's some bits and pieces of it scattered throughout act one, but take ttofl for example, the whole time marvin relies solely on one note, and occasionally shifts up the octave but only when singing alongside or arguing against whizzer─ but technically it can also switch, shone in their fight about their disputes and regular diagreeance.
("won't,"⬆️ "don't"⬇️ "won't" ⬆️ "DON'T." ⬇️⬇️⬇️)
-for another example of them fighting and marvin actually pitching UP his voice to be over whizzer's, see the beginning when they are arguing about how many months they've been together.-
and thus, I have rallied up this info (could I be delusional? probably.) to bring you a headcanon, consisting of:
marvin pitching his voice down to fit the role of the more 'masculine' man.
I COULD BE WRONG. TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. BUT I HAVE CONVINCED MYSELF THIS IS SOMEWHAT REAL.
also I just thought it would make a good fic / oneshot premise, idk.
anyhow, take this as you will, I might've relistened to this album too many times and now my brain is scrambled.
marvin also just has a higher voice in my head because every other actor opposed to cborle, mostly, has a high /ish voice.
thank you for your time, lol, have fun knowing this exists 😁

Someday, I swear, someday...
Someday I will write down why not just the story of Cinderella but especially the dynamic between Cinderella, her evil stepmother and stepsisters is one of the most important stories that has lasted thousands of years for a VERY GOOD REASON
Not just regarding child abuse, feminist literature and literature of female (coded) life experiences
But one of the most important stories PERIOD.
SOMEDAY I will fucking explain why Adrien and Gabriel are a brilliant and extremely important depiction of that story, and a phenomenal gender swapped variation of it for modern feminist story-telling that is very much breaking some grounds. If only Marinette's own girlboss 'knight in shining armor' narrative wouldn't constantly undermine that, making them seem "lesser" bc Adrien is "just" her little damsel she will save "easily" because we can't allow for her to be seen as anything else but one of the "STRONG" modern female heros.
SOMEDAY I will explain why Cinderella and Lady Tremaine are NOT fucking jokes and outdated female (coded) archetypes to be laughed at for how "weak and backwards" they are, but if well utilized one of the most raw and gut-wrenching archetypes of the non-romantic interplay of love vs hatred that grabs you by the most intimit connection a human can have and potentially breaks down the very root of who you are and why.
I will fucking explain why despite how misogynistic our society is, Cinderella and Lady Tremaine are still one of the most iconic protagonist and villain pairs in all of fiction and will continue doing so for many ages to come.
Why Cinderella, no matter how much society will tear her down, will never stop rising from her ashes victoriously. And why Lady Tremaine, no matter how underutilized and slandered she's depicted, will never ever stop dominating 99% of any other villain she's put against.
Both entirely without special powers, status, or whatever. Just through their very presence and dynamic.
I swear to God this fandom...
