About
Propeller Hat Dog is a reaction image featuring a low-quality or moldy image of a white dog wearing a propeller hat and holding a lollypop in a Garry's Mod landscape. The image is edited to make it appear as though the dog has a small, childlike body, dressed in a yellow T-shirt and red shorts while holding a large lollipop. The Propeller Hat Dog was created by Tumblr user @justkleinerthoughts and Steam user Tones3D, who refer to him as "Roscoe." The image was popularized on X / Twitter in 2024 as a part of a "How It Feels To X" phrasal template, with people using the photo of the animal as a means to express childlike or juvenile behavior.
Origin
The image of the happy-looking dog wearing a propeller hat in the meme originally came from a September 6th, 2022, post from Tumblr[9] user @justkleinerthoughts that read, "17 posionous stingers…and still we kiss and hug himm." The post gathered over 5,000 notes in two years.
In a November 29th, 2022, post on Tumblr[10] user @justkleinerthoughts's blog, the dog makes a reappearance alongside a similarly dressed kitten. The dog can be seen holding a swirly lollipop and wearing a yellow Minion shirt, red shorts and a propeller hat. The post gathered over 8,000 likes in two years.
The edited image of the dog was then inserted into a Garry's Mod addon for Nextbot uploaded to Steam[8] on January 10th, 2024. The mod was created by user Tones3D and titled, "Roscoe the Friendly Nextbot."
The description reads:
Now you too can have a living representation of having garry's mod in the late 2000's!
Woscoe or Roscoe is a propeller hat puppy, that doesn't attack the player
Roscoe is a friendly nextbot that will avoid the player and explore happily.
they just run around with the "happy happy happy!" music from tiktok
