Ok so can we all recognize The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack in the discussion of modern Gothic works because like first of all

Look at this aesthetic; this dingy, watercolored art style, that’s so morose and so unique. The show is seemingly set in the mid to late 19th century and it really captures the griminess of the time through the dim colors and almost too-realistic style at certain moments. The show brings out some interesting antiquated creepiness in other ways as well, including the bloodthirsty Doctor Barber, obsessed with “surgery”

and the fact that Captain K’nuckles clearly has a drinking problem, thinly veiled through the use of “candy” and “syrup” in the place of alcohol. The entire show just exudes “creepy” and uneasiness even in subtle ways. There are unexplained, potentially disturbing plot points, like the fact that Peppermint Larry has a wife made of candy who may or may not actually be sentient (and vengeful to boot).

The show also frequently uses hyper-realism and even live action in addition to the two dimensional animation, which is extremely uncanny and jarring whenever it appears.

And of course there are the countless wtf moments that throw terrifying images at the viewer and leave lasting nightmares for years to come:

Not only does this show do a fantastic job at disturbing its audience, but it also does so with endless creativity and genuinely unexpected imagery. The animation is wonderfully awful to behold and the aesthetic is refreshing and distinct (come on, nautical and gothic?? What’s not to love?). Plus, the strange and dark humor is brilliantly written and leaves you laughing even in the moments that creep you out the most. If you haven’t seen the show at all, or at least haven’t seen it in many years, definitely give it a watch and add a new piece of the Gothic to your collection.

!! FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING !!

A small editing exercise I made as a love letter to TV animation. I hope it's as overwhelming as I intended it to be. Sorry if I didn't get your fave in, I ran out of room faster than I thought!
