I could scrap this completely in favor of another way or reloading or a new sprite though. An old friend of mine was the one that came up with the Shadow the Hedgehog reference, and old versions of BD Platinum had it too as a fidget animation

Thanks for the speedy reply! Knowing it's a reference helps a bit.
I appreciate the offer to remove the animation, as the mod does seem to be aiming for "cinematic realism" (e.g. "Looks good, but we're ignoring the less exciting parts,") and removing the weirdness would reduce the tonal clash.
...I can't repay you, of course, and I have no real power or authority, but it would make me really happy if you did.
