Kinda hope the ending plot just like the curse of the were rabbit one, the beast farmer sacrifice himself from a hunter to save his flocks or somethin like that lol
Got any headcanons of Bitzer? Y'know, the sheepdog?
BOY DO I? :D
Based on previous episodes in the earlier seasons, the fandom has come to the conclusion that the Farmer lived on the farm his whole life and that Bitzer’s dad (I named him Baron) belonged to the Farmer’s dad. BUT since everyone likes to imagine Bitzer’s POV during “A Close Shave”, I hc that Bitzer became a sheepdog sooner than expected.
His dad officially retired after Wendoline and Preston kidnapped several of the Farmer’s sheep, including little Shaun and his parents. Baron’s guilt, along with the recent passing of Bitzer’s mother, caused him to pass the job to little Bitzer, believing he could continue his legacy.
Side hc for papa Bitzer: He and Shaun’s mom, Dolly, were rivals so make of that what you will
Despite being unpopular with other dogs, he has made some friends his own species! They’re a butch female German Shepherd who’s a police dog and a brave, spunky Jack Russel Terrier who’s always ready to pick a fight. Bitzer tends to show off a little to try to impress them. He also thinks he’s the normal one out of the three lmao
He’s also befriended Mr. Tweedy’s dogs from Chicken Run:Bonzo and Fido (remember them?). Well sorta. They’re not bullies, per se, but they often like to tease him about his job and how much of a pacifist he is despite his species (Anatolian’s are generally more guard dogs)
Bitzer has at least 3 siblings who are more successful than he is. When they come visit, he tries ignoring all his insecurities and pretends to be more successful than he lets on. Turns out they actually look up to him!
You didn’t hear it from me, but someone from the royal family has a dog that looks just like him 👀
He has his mother’s gentleness, hence how he’s so good with Timmy
Between him and Shaun, he fell harder
Shares his romance novels with Timmy’s mom and even Shirley
Is a fan of rock and roll
Bitzer tore the Farmer a new one after the events of Farm Park (aka my least favorite episode). When the Farmer questioned why some of his animals were suddenly angry at him, he listed everything the Farmer did as well as what he failed to do. And he didn’t hold back, he told his owner about what his animals endured while he was too busy cowering and hiding from everyone. He suggested Farmer apologize to the animals that were involved in the whole fiasco before they lose their trust in him completely. Luckily, the message got through
You’re in luck! I posted my headcanons for them right here!
Althoughhhh I do have a couple more!
Timmy’s mom is the exact opposite of any MIL stereotype. If she learned Timmy has a partner or at least a crush and he brings that partner/crush home, the first thing she’d say is “Welcome to the family”
I’m also currently playing around with the hc that she has a double life as a secret agent. Think of her as the sheep version of Perry the Platypus lol.
She got that job in the first place after ACS bc she doesn’t want to see any other animals getting harmed like her loved ones and she kept it a secret all this time cuz it’s a dangerous job and she wants to keep her flock safe from all the criminals she deals with
Timmy’s mom is the type to hustle someone when playing a game of pool. She acts modest/pretends to not know how to play but when her opponent gets cocky, she obliterates them
Timmy’s mom in the beginning: ”accidentally” uses the wrong side of the cue
Timmy’s mom after her opponent says 100 pounds a ball: Timmy, be a love and bring out mummy’s special stick~
Hazel almost immediately gained a crush on Lexi when she saw her. It was like a love at first sight kind of thing. You know that scene in Despicable Me 2 where Margo saw Antonio for the first time? Exactly like that
Nuts was also a little TOO protective of Hazel when she and Lexi started seeing each other
Remembering that Nuts has a grandpa in the comics and now I’m imagining him being a senile, Willy Wonka type sheep for some reason
Shirley’s basically a demigoddess. I wanna say her dad (MASSIVE jerk/deadbeat btw) is like the god of shepherds or smth and has magic wool, hence why Shirley conveniently has anything the flock needs and why Shirleyverse happened
Nuts thinks he was named after food. He only realizes the truth when he names his kid with Shirley after a nut. And then Shaun and Hazel have to explain that he was named “Nuts” cuz of his eyes and weird personality
Nuts is the type to bring flashcards with pick-up lines on them when on a date only to drop them all over the place
The flock, the chickens, and Mower Mouth each gave the Farmer the equivalent of the silent treatment after the events of “Farm Park”. Dirty looks, uncooperative behavior (only listening/talking to Bitzer) and keeping their distance until Bitzer told him to apologize
Additional hc: You guys ever see that scene in Dumbo where the kids were teasing Dumbo and then his mom basically went wild animal and started spanking one of the boys? And then she got locked up and called a “mad elephant”? Something very similar happened with Timmy’s mom and that’s why she wasn’t near Timmy in the episode. Like, she saw the kid overfeeding Timmy and chasing him, got pissed (as she should), and went towards the parents to try to get them to control their child. But as soon as the Farmer saw her scolding the parents, he took her away and put her in the barn
The Wizard of Oz is one of Nuts’ favorite movies
When Hazel gets feelings for/starts dating Lexi, she goes to Timmy’s mom for advice. Not only does she have more experience in a relationship, but she ALSO fell in love with someone from the rival farm
Timmy’s mom sings like a British Jessica Rabbit
Shirley can do this
Here’s a fun reminder: One of the twins (Fred), actually kissed Trumper in the movie to distract him from the flock’s attempt to break Shaun and Bitzer out of that so-called “shelter”, you know, since they dressed as a woman whom Trumper flirted with throughout the movie. Jim never lets his brother live it down. Everytime Jim is losing an argument, he just brings it up and automatically wins
In honor of me going to see the new Sheep Detectives movie later today, I just watched Shaun the Sheep’s CSI Mossy bc they have the same premise: sheep solving a mystery
And for those who are either not STS fans or haven’t watched it in a while, lemme break it down for yas!
So it starts with Bitzer accidentally inconveniencing everybody on the farm with his beloved whistle. He’s a sheepdog, he needs his whistle, problem is the animals have gotten sick of it. You can tell bc Timmy took it personally
Unlike the new movie, there’s a theft rather than a murder, so Bitzer finds his whistle missing and starts freaking out. The others immediately laugh at him bc karma but Bitzer then starts telling everyone it was stolen and accusing others
We also get some VERY cute Shaunzer moments like Shaun holding Bitzer’s paws and Bitzer looking proud while his bf is collecting evidence
As someone who’s studying Criminal Justice and Forensic Investigations, the way Shaun collects evidence is pretty accurate. He closes off the crime scene with tape to avoid contamination, puts numbers for every piece of evidence he finds (bits of an acorn, a fly, a chicken feather, and a hoofprint), wears gloves, and puts everything in special bags so no one tampers with them
There’s that little bulletin board trope with all the prime suspects of this supposed theft including a joke that always makes me go “….Bitzer, why do you have that?”
Anyway, Shaun did a great job collecting evidence…and then there’s the interrogation scene bc he does NOT know what he’s doing 😭
So there he is gathering all the farm animals to the barn to interrogate some suspects. There’s a fun detail where you can see Hazel in the background eyeing one of the pigs because as fans know, the pigs are jerks and tend to lie and cheat and things like that
Here’s where Shaun could use more training because he automatically jumps to conclusions when matching evidence to the suspects. Exhibit A: matching a muddy hoofprint at the crime scene with the baby of the flock. Look at him being all proud after pulling a Cinderella lmao
HOWEVER, it turns out that sweet little Timmy (who gives the cutest explanation ever) was just practicing his soccer/football skills and it accidentally went into the doghouse to get it, leaving behind said hoofprint as he was running off. Another cute detail I wanna mention is Timmy putting a reassuring hoof on his mom, swearing his innocence (aww)
Also let’s appreciate Timmy’s mom since she knows Timmy’s an angel and would never. He’s a good boy, thank you very much!
“Don’t talk to me or my son ever again”
Lmao even the pig is looking at Shaun like “Dude he’s like 5, wtf is wrong with you?”
He does this 2 more times, with Stash the Squirrel (who was there bc she had to use Bitzer’s bathroom while holding a giant stack of acorns) and one of the chickens (who was blowdrying her feathers for some reason—don’t think about it too much). He accuses one of the pigs with the fly, pig 1’s like “that’s not mine!” and points to his friend, pig 2 sees the fly, is insulted (“no it isn’t, piss off!” and before you know it, a foodfight breaks out. Rotten apples and eggs thrown everywhere, animals accusing each other, the Twins are fighting, Nuts throws an egg at himself because he’s Nuts hfhfh (dumbass)
The chaos actually solves the mystery. Turns out Bitzer had the whistle the whole time (he forgot it was in his hat)
….to which results in everyone ganging up on him lmao
In the words of Eustace Bagge: “Stupid dog! You made them look bad!” (I’m kidding ily)
