DAY 12: HIP HOPPERS

ok guys i’m gonna be so real, most of what i said about the rockies applies to the hoppers, so just go to their post and whatever it says there is my feelings on them right now.

- Favourite Actor?

like the rockies, i think any actors for the hoppers are pretty cool, but big shoutout to one of the asia tours making hopper 3 a girl, so shoutout to her.

- Favorite Costumes?

i mean their costumes have basically remained the exact same, but i will say this: i saw a design for a SIXTH hip hopper, which implies the existence of hoppers 4 and 5 which means POTENTIALLY MORE FREIGHT FRIENDS ???? i love that, and i love hip hopper 6

- Headcanons?

same headcanon for the rockies, there are 3 other hoppers, 2 girls and 1 guy this time though. they live in a different yard but they occasionally come and visit their siblings during their off season

- Unpopular Opinion?

as much as i think they’re funky, the hoppers suffer from the same thing as rapping rum tum tugger from cats, where their portrayal as breakdancing rappers can come across as VERY stereotypical and i frankly do not vibe with that (especially considering that as far as i’m aware, almost all of their actors have been white). now if they were based on the 90s cool kid aesthetic rather than contemporary hip hop and rap, i’m sure that they would come across much better than how they did.
