I was watching a premier for an animated series called “Cachy”, it was about an anthropomorphic brown bird.
It started with an ordinary looking house covered in snow. Cachy was arguing with their roommates.
Cachy: You will never be a Hen!
Stacy: Molly said I can stay with you gals! and she owns the lease so you have no say!
Cachy *tearing up*: I’m sorry Stacy, I guess that means I’m the one who can’t stay at the Hen house.
Cachy then locks herself in her room, crying.
Cachy: I will never be a god. No matter how hard I try - because of this stupid bird body.
The screen fades to black and a title card that says “1 month later” appears. Cachy is walking around town wearing a backpack, with their feathers very matted.
Cachy: Why did it have to come to this? If only my powers would awaken soon. I think I need to head to the top of the mountain to find myself - just like my parents did.
There is a montage of Cachy walking uphill, towards the mountain. Their feathers around their shoulders end up falling off, making it look as if they are wearing an off-the-shoulder top. Luckily the weather has changed and it is sunny now. They end up encountering a big blue bird on the mountain path.
Stranger: I’m Bluegrass, a social worker. You look like you’ve seen better days
Cachy: Well I got kicked out of my home and then I flipped my car in rage
Bluegrass: You did what to my car‽
*record scratch* - the video pauses and the author interjects: “I told Bluegrass’ voice actor that my loss is his loss - that’s why he reacted that way, anyway back to the video” - *video resumes*
Cachy: I’m sorry, I just get so angry sometimes. I’ll make it up to you, can you accompany me up the mountain?
Bluegrass: Without my car, I can’t get anywhere. So I will accompany you as long as you get my car back.
[the video cuts to a blue car in pristine condition in a parking lot, presumably Bluegrass’ car]
The pair continue walking up a winding mountain road.
I don’t remember anything after that.
