One of my favorite subtle cosmic horror elements of The Amazing World of Gumball is that secondary characters are terrified of being boring. It sticks out, because it'd be more expected for kids to worry that they're "annoying" or "not cool"... boring is an odd choice of descriptor.
In The Storm, Carmen temporarily breaks up with Alan because she fears their "perfect" love is becoming boring. In The Colossus, Hector is sent over the edge by Gumball telling him he's boring. Clayton admits his reason for habitual lying is because he's a loser, and all of his true stories aren't interesting. Tobias feels like he should be entitled to a sidekick and exciting adventures, because he's rich and colorful and he's earned them, and yet his life is mundane.
It's not like they know what happens to you if you're too boring
But maybe they've got a sense of it in the back of their heads.

Tim: I am way too sleep deprived to deal with your negativity right now.
Lois: You know what's really loud, Lex? Insecurity. Confidence is silent. Just like your empty mansion.

Lackadaisy!
But cosplay as Gumball and Darwin because we have blue chaotic cat and orange buddy with passive look and secretly unhinged when triggered.
And they are inseparable and brother bond.

its honestly fucking amazing what gumball could do with its nonhuman cast. The paper girl who protected herself from infection by sealing herself in a school binder? the cactus who couldnt cry because she kept retaining water? The fuckin piece of bread who kept dying and was always replaced by his family by toasting a new son? the species of balloons with invisible organs? gumball consistently forgetting he has claws? 2d videogame characters with less keyframes? everything about penny? fucking inspired

I was watching The Amazing World of Gumball and Gumball just casually mentioned that he was asexual.

I’ve seen people comparing Leo & Mikey with Gumball & Darwin before due to blue & orange being the colours of both pairs of siblings but I thought that the comparison was kind of even funnier now that the voice actor for Gumball is playing Leo in Mutant Mayhem
