I love the fact that you actually go into more depth than just "Things being Neat." Especially 'cause OCD to me is mostly doing actions and repeating them until "satisfied," which is usually doing an action to a number. Lived this.
-
THEY’RE FRIENDS! I love how they fit together like a puzzle. They’re just so cute!!! Agh!!!
-
The repeated touching ritual to keep the cage door shut hits so hard, I wanna cry. There were so many times I’d lock and unlock doors, flip lights on and off, and count the breaths of sleeping family members, thinking it would stop something terrible from happening.
-
I love how ADHD's default response to her friends is just E X T E N D Like honestly, same😂❤
-
I'm sososos glad this had more then just "clean freak" because its exhausting to see miss representation. I also liked that you included an intrusive thought!! That made me really happy
-
The OCD cat washing its hands...walking off...and then getting intrusive thoughts and just doing a complete 180 was very relatable.
-
As someone with ocd and autism, this is too relatable. Such a cute animation style though, love it.
-
The pure shape language you use for these kitties are PERFECT.
-
I love how they don't try to "fix" the situation or her. They just comfort her and try to help her through it. It's so cute!
-
I like how the autistic cat was: -Speak (Possibly about the architecture of the birdcage) -Gauge friends' reactions to the situation -Assess the acceptable level of comfort to provide -Support Great job on this!
-
fhe birdcage part was such a perfect illustration of the "don't complete compulsion -> bad thing happens" thought loop which is a form of ocd that goes so criminally underdiagnosed (50% of ocd cases are first misdiagnosed, usually as another anxiety disorder)
-
Can’t wait to show this to my teacher who’s all into neurodiversity! Edit: Took A while but I finally showed this video to her. She loved the video, and was even more heart warmed when she saw the comment I posted. I believe she said something like “Go, PixiGags, Go!” Or “Pixigags Rules!” She’s now excited for the next episodes to come along. Keep it up, amigo!! ❤❤

If The Aviator movie has taught me anything, washing hands in fear of getting germs to the point of avoid touching everything is realistically common for someone who struggled with OCD, like Howard Hughes. This explains why he keeps repeating his words "The way of the future".
-
Theres 4 of them now, enough to start a squad
-
This is so cute! I love how OCD is portrayed, and it relates to me so much! Once again, you make the best videos and animations!
-
That cage part is so unbelievably real. It looks dumb and meaningless to people who don't struggle with OCD but to those who have it, it's torment. I only wish I had the support of friends as well when I was dealing with things like that
-
As someone who’s been told OCD is why I have thoughts that are the opposite of my true self. I worry a lot about things I cannot control or expect and get frustrated when my doors not closed a certain way.
-
"A common mistakes artists make is not utilizing simple shapes enough. In this example, the artist sticks to using arcs for both the shape of the character and the different application of arcs for different poses."
-
I struggle with OCD and it is so exhausting and mentally draining, and also think I might have ADHD. These characters are so cute, and I love how they interact and care for one another like happy little friends! The end was really comforting. Your animations make me feel less alone, thank you ❤☺
-
As a person with OCD, re-washing your hands is painfully relatable.
