the walking polar bear gif is already one of my favourite gifs so can you imagine the noise I made when I saw this version
Raven is the best-written immortal in ANY series. He gives a good example on why undeath is bad.
Not only that, but:
-He actually USES the wisdom of his immortality to his advantage
-His story, told to us in Xrd After Story A, is a cautionary tale, and very realistic on how people might exploit such amazing powers
-He didn't gain it through some magic rock like Vandal Savage or The Immortal (Invincible), but through a weird, out-of-nowhere experience where he died and was resurrected.
-Was so tired of his powers that he tried to willingly take his own life on MULTIPLE occasions (which, realistically, someone without the ability to die would ALSO do).
-Literally the only thing he values is the only thing as immortal as him: pain.
In short, Raven is both a cautionary tale on how immortality is a bad thing and, as mentioned prior, a well-written character because of the tragedy that befalls him. And that makes him the BEST immortal in all of fiction, bar none.

We're noticing more people being interested in the Raggedy Ann fandom since the Amazing Digital Circus pilot released, so we thought we'd update our masterpost on where to find more Raggedy Ann media!
The first two and most well-known books are Raggedy Ann stories (1918) and Raggedy Andy stories (1920), which are in public domain and free to read online! Camel with the Wrinkled Knees (1924) (which the movie was loosely based on!) is on Internet Archive and available to read without an account. You can find many of the other books on there as well.
The 1940's has Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy (1941), Suddenly It's Spring (1944), and The Enchanted Square (1947).
You've got the 1977 Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure of course.
The Chuck Jones holiday TV specials: Raggedy Ann and Andy in The Great Santa Claus Caper (1978) and Raggedy Ann and Andy in The Pumpkin Who Couldn't Smile (1979).
Most episodes of The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy (1988-1990) are in this playlist here, and you could probably find any missing ones on Dailymotion.
From the Target crossover we have the animated Snowden: Raggedy Ann & Andy's Adventure (1998) and the live-action ice-skating special The Snowden, Raggedy Ann and Andy Holiday Show (1998).
I've also got a playlist of all the albums I've found on YouTube or were uploaded by us, and there's many more of the older ones available on Archive. The old Will Wooden and Frank Luther ones are very charming.
You can watch recovered archival footage of the full first production of the Raggedy Ann musical (1984), listen to the demo album (~1985), or the Broadway bootleg (1986)!
If you're interested in more, I'd recommend exploring the saved playlists on the RARE YouTube channel or the media tag on the Raggedy Ann Fandom Wiki.
We're a group of Raggedy Ann enthusiasts who got together to search for Raggedy Ann lost media (specifically the musical), but now we collect and archive all sorts of things from the franchise! Our ask box is always open and we love to find things people are looking for, or even just chat about headcanons and such.
