Josh

Josh is a fanon character of HTF.

Character Bio
Josh is a grey chipmunk who sports a blue cap with SPACE on it and glasses due to shortsightedness. He wears a blue shirt which originally had Saturn on it, but since Love Hurts, the shirt would have ART written on it. He would also have his cap on backwards, revealing a fringe of brown hair.

He lives next door to his best friend and lab partner Sniffles. He has a high IQ (not as high as Sniffles) and does well at his school. His favourite subjects are Science, History and Art.

He likes to draw pictures of some things he likes (Biplanes, planets and even himself). He dislikes wasps, lightning and needles. His most torturous and traumatic death was when he was mangled by a shark when he went diving.

One of his greatest achievements was when he made a patio sized picture of an ambulance before his hospital appointment. That was due to him being bored. He has been making big pictures since then. Most embarrasingly, he made a picture of himself showering at a spa.

Sometimes, making big pictures would then lead his friends to an unfortunate fate. Like his lover Petunia, Josh has OCD but that is for art, not cleaning. He is very protective of his artwork. Every time he sees one of his paintings or big pictures ruined, he either hyperventilates or goes crazy and starts his painting all over again or mends the big picture. Sometimes it goes out of hand and Josh goes on a mad spree. He accidentally killed Flippy once in one of his sprees by stabbing him with his own knife. As revealed in A Clothes Call, he can flip out if angered enough. His deaths usually involve electrocution, boiling or being shredded or mauled. He used to love Petunia, also being married to her and having Genesis and Beauty. But after Together Again, Josh splitted up and fell in love with Stacy.

He has his own spin-off series known as Josh's Big Picture Showcase.

Trivia

 * He is one of the few characters of British nationality (could explain why he sometimes mumbles with an accent). The others being Decker, Patriot, Allie Cola, and his brother John.
 * Unlike most other characters, he can ocasionally speak clear English, like when he begins a big picture or ruins his art.
 * He loves space, as indicated by his former design's hat and shirt.
 * Some call him a nerd, but he's actually a geek.
 * His signature big pictures often have catchy background music and no sound. Some music is duplicated, like when Josh made a swan and a cygnet at an aviary, the music plays again when he made a desktop fan at a hardware & home superstore (inspiration from seeing Hippy and Giggles cooling themselves with fans).
 * He sometimes creates portraits of his friends: Giggles at her birthday, Cuddles at a toy store, Russell at a maritime museum, Handy at an aquarium, Petunia at a pier, Sniffles at a school, Flippy an army base, Splendid at a comic convention, Flaky at a courtyard (with a spider), and even Lifty and Shifty with stolen goods.
 * He has obsessive compulsive disorder like Petunia, but in terms of his art obsesson, not hygene (although Josh likes to keep himself clean).
 * Usually when he sees someone dying, he gasps and whistles nonchalantly.
 * When he completes a big picture, he puts two thumbs up.
 * He can flip out if irritated enough (A Clothes Call, for example). But he cannot be listed as a Flippy-sue, as it only occurs on very rare occasions.
 * When he sees Petunia die, he sometimes either cries or shakes his fist. His despair to this is similar to Pop when Cub dies.
 * His voice ranges from medium to deep. A bit like Splendid.
 * In the Season 26 finale Siblings in Blood, it is revealed he is the brother of Giggles.
 * In Battle of the Arts, he would compete against Drama (acting) and Crazy (music) with his artistic skills.
 * He sometimes calls his friends nicknames:


 * 1) ​Giggles: Gigs
 * 2) Flippy: Flipster
 * 3) Decker: Decky
 * 4) Fizzles: Fizzes
 * 5) Petunia: Pets
 * 6) Handy: Hand man
 * 7) Ale: Ally
 * 8) Savaughn: Savy
 * 9) Nutty: Nutster
 * 10) Stacy: Stace
 * In a similar manner to Crazy, he used to be in love with Petunia before finding another girl (Stacy).
 * He is the first character ro reach 100 deaths (second being Trippy).
 * Between Together Again and Children of Jotunia, a poll was made to determine whether he or Petunia would keep Genesis & Beauty. Josh won by a landslide with a vote ratio of 11/2.
 * He has the most deaths of any character so far. The character with the 2nd most deaths is Trippy. Cuddles has the 3 most deaths.
 * In Siblings in Blood, Josh is Patriot's cousin. In Muddling with the 'Uddles, Patriot is the cousin of Cuddles, Fuddles, Guddles, Ruddles, Duddles, and Muddles, making Josh a cousin of the latter.
 * He was featured in the WIZ (Who Is Zero) vote. Although Hippy won, it was moved to the 2nd place winner (Josh) because Hippy and Zero already had three major episodes as separate tree friends.
 * As Zero is Waterclam's character, in only Zero's episodes is Josh a shared character, meaning they both own it, however if Josh appears as himself, he is only RespectTheDisney5's character.
 * He is one of the three most-featured characters on the "Complete Seasons" DVD covers, the others being Hippy and Trippy.
 * His personality is seen as smart, funny and sympathetic, but he can be awfully boastful and snooty. However, this does not affect his relationship with his best buds or his relatives.
 * Josh once had a hatred of summer (like his creator). It is revealed in Summer Bummer that it was caused by melting ice cream and seagulls. But in this episode, he began to like summer.
 * Prior to Love Hurts, Josh was seen without brown hair under his hat. Though it is likely he dyed it.
