Fly Fly Away Lil' Hummingbird - The Music Freaks Fan Comic

Tiny break from the Gravity Falls blast to show off a comic I've had in the works for *roughly* three months, probably a little bit more. Regardless, it's done, and I wanted to cart it around like a prize pony.

I got into The Music Freaks (TMF) some time before my GF obsession after stumbling upon an animatic about it one night. And was instantly endeared to the story and characters. Then I believe the week following I pretty much binged the entirety of the series, and any other extra content I could get my hands one.

The writing can be kind of cheesy, but I grew up with Wattpad fanfics, so I am no stranger to The Cheese.

But the comic idea came a bit after my binge, as I'm trying to fall asleep one night. And I kept rotating the idea of Jake's bullying in middle school, like an infectious ear worm in my brain. Especially a line, he says when he's opening up to Hailey in one episode; about him getting teased for singing/humming to himself in the hall or at school. It got me thinking about what if there was a name that he got called that's associated with that, hence "hummingbird." Then everything sorta fell into place after that. I still spent a few more days sitting on the idea before actually starting the comic, but I pretty much busted out the first three pages that later week before struggling to finish the fourth for months until recently. (I sped through the last two and a half pages in one sitting because I was tired of it being incomplete).

Hope you enjoy!! Love to hear your thoughts and / or headcanons.

“which hailey fit is your fav?”

if membership people dont pick outfit three…i will crash out 💔

haileys s2 redesign analysis below!!

hair:

her early gacha life design had her hair down, then she rocked the really messy ponytail for the rest of s1, and now shes canonically gonna have a half-up-half-down look for s2.

the messiness going away may be symbolic of the stress being taken away now that the competition is over and the music club drama has been resolved, the the half-down, free hair part may show the liberation, that freedom, that taking the stress off of her shoulders has given her.

i personally love the slight wave rosy gave her too…im a huge follower of the curly haired hailey agenda and we are slowly getting there!! this flowy wave may also symbolize the tranquility she now feels with the stress taken off.

^ i hope rosy did that on purpose and that hailey hair will change throughout the season depending on her situation…

accents: (jewelry + musical details)

the little music notes all around are cute, but they seem a bit over done and unnecessary…making haileys love for music seem more performative than anything else. which is fine if rosy wants to go down that route—the expectations and other different facets that come with being a musician…but i doubt rosy will, especially bc jaime wasnt exactly what she was going for (iykyk)

the jewelry (esp that stupid crystal necklace) are tacky and just another thing for rosy to animate and i feel like they add nothing to haileys character and instead retract from it being as basic and performative as they are.

the lil belt keychain tho…is that a carabiner i see?? hailey my lesbian queen?? rosy, you shouldnt have… (you didnt and you wont but you shouldve. free my masc lesbian queen).

i only had a very blurry screenshot for reference for the belt keychain and thought it was keys instead of sixteenth notes on there…and practicality wise i think hailey should put her house + car keys on there—driving the whole junior year thing home, and hailey is totally the type of person to carry keys on her belt, i mean, come on…

mole (?) :

there was a little tid bit of something up near haileys eye where the screenshot cuts off…and i think it might be a mole. i hope it isnt that fuckass star she drew on for the competition…bc yes, it was cute for the night…but ur in highschool girl…

idk what this could mean tho, bc luke has a mole in that same spot…maybe we will get more zander lore and discover more about his relationship to luke and hailey and we will see how similar luke and hailey are?? idk

design throwbacks: (/final thoughts)

i love how rosy incorporated haileys classic boots and her striped magenta sweater from her gacha life design…and the TIGHTS!! OH MY GOOD THE TIGHTS!! we can also deduce from haileys later s1 design that she loves layering, and rosy is really driving it home here, and in cases like outfit 4, its not half bad…

i also like how these fits look more summery, which makes sense bc its nearing the end of the school year now and in the states its usually warmer by then

rosy does still need help matching the characters to their environment tho, bc hailey looks like a preschool teacher in one, too formal in another, like a camp counselor in the next, and too stereotypical teenager in the last…more on that and how i would “fix” these outfits in my next post soon :)

thanks for reading!! if you made it this far and have no idea what im talking about here is what rosy posted for members only for free <3

I will always personally like Hailey more than Drew

For me personally, I find that the character who's a victim of bullying is much more loveable to me than the bully is. Because we all have to admit, that despite headcanons, despite the fact Drew brought up some good points in the Drakeup, Drew is still a bully, and he has been since middle school. He's not an innocent angel, and he simply just decided to drop Jake once Jake became fully himself. Drew's judgemental and genuinely not a good person, and I think some people forget that. Of course, liking an antagonist or a character who's not a good person is completely okay!! The issue is when you try to justify the antagonists bad behaviour, and oh man, have I seen people do that with Drew. I don't care if he has family issues, is insecure, has mental health issues, or anything like that (in this context, obviously I would still feel bad for him if he was facing such struggles), it doesn't justify his behaviour. The bottom line is, bullying isn't okay in any context (unless it's like a p3do or smth... in that case go crazy!!)

And there's more to me loving Hailey than the fact she's a bullying victim. Contrary to popular opinion, but I love how Hailey is so sensitive. I know people say she has "y/n moments" and that she's overdramatic, but honestly, there's nothing wrong with being sensitive. Sensitive people always try their best to be kind, despite how exhausting life is, being the way they are. Being hyper-sensitive is like walking around without your skin on, and the littlest thing can hurt you on a big scale. So hypersensitive people will try their best to make sure other people don't feel as awful as they often do. Also, Hailey always makes amends in situations where she did something wrong, or situations where someone needs to be forgiven (unlike Drew). Not saying everyone has to forgive everything, but she's very mature in that sense. The day after arguing with Drew, after she was provoked and repeatedly bothered and lashed out as a result of it, she apologized to Jake for getting angry. What apology was offered by the Dromies for barging in and provoking Hailey? None. And in episode 10, Hailey was genuinely considering talking to him about what he'd said, because she didn't think he actually believed what he'd said. But then Zander (oh, so cynical and traumatized, I love him) convinced her to think otherwise. However, she still clearly wanted to make amends with Jake. And when she did, she said she didn't regret letting Jake into the club, and that she forgave him. SLAYYY SLAYYYYYY!! Also wanna add I see people acting like bullies when talking about Hailey. I get not everyone is snowflake like me but come on guys... did you miss the plot of the show?

Overall this is just an anti-bullying, pro-Hailey post. Thank you for reading :3!!

[banjotheturtle]

Fanart!! I made this for episode 10 but I haven’t uploaded it here yet so to celebrate episode 11 here we are.

Honestly the animation for the series has improved so much to get to this point and it makes sense that it took 3 extra months to create the episode because of how it’s double the length. Anyways feel free to use the fanart as a phone bg if you want.
