leif is doing his best - bug fables animatic

[there are allusions to bug fables spoilers in this that are vague enough for me to be like "yeah it's spoilerfree" but but if that's something you wanna pass on that is ok thumbs up emoji]
bug fables! I beat bug fables recently and really liked it and would certainly recommend it and I like the cast lots especially this weird moth guy. saw a comment on one of the ost uploads mentioning that the commenter read all of leif's lines with ice bear we bare bears' voice and I thought that was galaxy-brained so made this ! was supposed to be something quick and breezy but as per usual it got away from me.
had fun staging it like it was actual clips from a nonexistent adaptation of bugfables. if you just mentally replace every third person referral to ice bear with "we" and it's practically canon I think

"Ice Bear wants answers"
"Ice Bear on emotional rollercoaster"
Leif's arc in a nutshell

[@TheBeyblade23]

Leif having Ice Bear's voice is my new favorite thing. It's now canon in my head and will forever be what I hear whenever I read any of Leif's dialogue. Thank you for letting this exist 😆🥰👍

[@IUseRandomPfps]

“Ice Bear has committed no crimes”
“Today”

[@derginadaydream]

"Ice Bear was petty"
*cuts the crime that he hasn't yet committed today*

[@madelynnmurdock4929]

Me any time I see Kabbu: Ice Bear thinks you're precious

[@jan-Pala]

"ice bear woke up like this... but why"
my stupid little brain: "took a nap and Came Back Wrong"

[@kylestubbs8867]

“Ice Moth’s cold heart is melting.”

[@pinkowlcat2125]

I never realised how much Ice bear fitted Leif till now, thank you for this masterpiece

[@aurawarrior1367]

“Ice moth is doing his best”

[@bakedgerman]

The way Ice bear talks is about how Lief talks with the difference being Lief would instead adress themselves as "we"

[@rest1585]

My favorite part was when he said “Ice Bear.”

[@-Commit-arson-]

This is definitely canonically how he talks

[@The_AuraMaster]

Never thought We Bare Bears would fit Bug Fables.

[@dubstepbeecorsi6892]

unfortunately, neither Vi nor Kabbu are eligible to be panda
so the trio can never be complete

[@legendgames128]

"Ice Bear was petty"
*proceeds to cast Snowgrave on Kali*

[@MxIbatomik]

YESSS !!!! BUG FABLES !!!!

[@TrashMan_TM]

the way you draw him is so awesome skrunkly he is so silly precious and i want to squeeze the life out of him.
😁

[@spiral4568]

Ice bear call himself Ice bear, like Leif call himself We (･ω･|

[@haha_noty]

have i watched this at least five times? yea
will i watch it many more times? probably also yes

[@yellowhawk01]

Tbh that’s all I’ve thought Leif sounded like. Just monotone voice, mostly cause Leif seems to refer to himself as “we” most of the time

[@Viscidsquare040]

I’ve rewatched this so many times. I love it so much and it absolutely fits Leif’s character.

[@boogumm]

THIS IS ACTUALLY SO GOOD GOING TO BE OCCUPYING MY THOUGHTS FOR ATLEAST 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS

[@void-teatrainwreck4084]

This is surprisingly fitting.

[@theivoryguy2476]

oh my god its joever this is my faborite interpretation of leif EVER, both audibly and visually

[@galya8296]

This is the first bug fables video I ever seen
I will join the Fandom soon...

[@stwawbewwy]

I've never watched We Bare Bears but wow this really fits!

[@tmr3volver]

This fits incredibly well

[@MeleeFightTf2]

0:14 Vi's smile is cute
0:15 Something about Kabbu's panic is so funny to me
This is just the best

[@Rayneworld]

Ohhhh I really like this as Leif's voice actually! I personally head canoned him to have a much different one but this works so well, it's lovely.

[@ricardoj376]

This is odly fitting and perfect.

[@NeNe-tm5dh]

Why haven't I seen this earlier?? This is literally so fitting-

[@dartdevious561]

I NEED TO PAUSE THIS EVERY TIME

[@BunnyRain946]

Ice Bear's voice is so perfect for Leif!

[@ferretlord7051]

This just works. Im not sure why, but it works.

[@thatguyfy]

Man this is amazing! If you haven’t already, you should upload this to tiktok. I feel it would be perfect, and it spread the word about bug fables!

[@stillconfusedtbh]

WAIT THIS IS SO GOOD
Thank you for bringing this into existence

[@voltsiano116]

And that's all we can ask for.

[@dapperlilyppad4098]

Man this is rly cute and well done

[@creeptrap3104]

Triangle Leif is now my favourite Leif

[@rubyamateurtactician4354]

I'm watching some streams of this game and I think it's about halfway through by now? But so far everything about this is absolutely correct

[@weirdal1en]

This is hilarious! Wonderful job!

[@typhoonboom]

this is amazing

[@Lifebloodangel]

I always thought Leif had a voice like ice bear, just monotone and nonchalant

[@dashmaster_sav098]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AAAAAA

[@zeroforever_zero7062]

this is amazing!

[@Sakachi18]

🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵💚💛LMFAO. This is perfect. Poor Leif. 😂

[@ThinkyBoi42]

Replace "Bear" with "Bug" and this fits perfectly

[@Quantumact2908]

honestly...pretty close to the voice i gave leif when i was playing through the game lol

[@puppytree6343]

"staging it like it was actual clips from a nonexistent adaptation of bugfables" and it was framed in a lively way. I could say something about every image, look at vi just smiling at mothiva''s suffering ehehe...uh but anyways its very slick monochrome art! (0:26 but how could you "peter griffin pose" kabbu!)
and here's one with mother chomper "Ice Bear feels impending motherhood nearby." (the precious chompy one is my favorite.)

[@agedstring]

Ourple Leif ftw

[@chrometheraptor]

I love this djdjfjdbfkebkde

[@vadandrumist1670]

I see you name the show for audio, but is this taken from an existing video compilation in particular?

[@dragondawdles]

yes actually! not sure if youtube will eat my reply if I add a link tho so I will add it to the description 👍

[@Mr-Moron]

Yep.
That’s Leif’s voice now.
Can’t change my mind.
