More Zootles doodle dump! Been trying to get back to drawing daily :)

Hi! I was wondering what Zootles movies (like "Help!", "Hard day's night") would look like and if they even exist in this AU?

The Zootles take on the big screen!

The Zootles movies absolutely exist! Hell they even have their own Cartoon show!

The thing is, none of them enjoyed the process of filming. The only one who seems to enjoy being in the movies is Ringo, even though he's the one getting the worst treatment during filming. During this time, Carnivores weren't allowed to display any sign of aggression on camera, which meant they had to go through some modifications to their appearances. Some precautions had to be taken whenever The Zootles have to appear on screen which ranged from "dos and don'ts" to literal body modifications

Paul had to shave his horns, teeth, and nails down to look like an ordinary dog, George's tusks were made blunt, John had to keep himself quiet and poise. Ringo had to take an extra step which involves both body and behavior modification; His teeth and claws were shaved down, his tail made to look more cat-like, he wasn't allowed to open his mouth fully or talk in a volume louder than he was allowed to, he wasn't allowed to eat on screen or do anything outside of script, his character was always made to be the dumb and innocent joke character to appease the viewers.

Their species also affected the way each movies and series potray them; John became this Leader-like character with the typical bravado and protectiveness of a hero, Paul became his flamboyant little sidekick that does every plan he comes up with, George became this quiet but cool character that always seems to suave and mature for his age, and Ringo became nothing but a slapstick character being put through situations where he could possibly never function without the other three. The others never liked how Ringo got the short end of the stick but Ringo, the ever peaceful beast he was, took it in stride and decided it was nice to be the entertainer. Oh the others knew how Ringo wanted to be a movie star so bad and Ringo chose to ignore a lot of mistreatment in order to become the Actor he always dreamed to be.

Some people got off from seeing the "King of Beast" be degraded to this meaningless laughing stock, but Ringo chose to ignore that

It wasn't until Magical Mystery Tour, where Paul finally took reigns to become a Director, that the others became more than what media potrayed them to be. It was fun while it lasted. The movie turned out awful but the others wouldn't admit it to everyone else that they enjoyed making it.

Recent post already has me craving more lore!! Could we see the rest of the Zootles reactions to George's leg? Or how he and Ringo went about it? And how the press reacted 👀👀

Bambi is Alive and Well!

Unlike John's missing ear, George's leg isn't really noticeable at first. Paul was the first to see it missing in India, although his reaction was very calm. Well, not for long. When they first return, nobody really found out or talked about it. John was too busy avoiding Paul, Paul was too busy avoiding John, and Ringo was too busy avoiding everyone. So George, being the only responsible adult in the area, pushed John to at least be on friendly terms with Paul and for Paul to actually face John for once in his life. When John and Paul slowly started becoming Lennon-McCartney again, it was then their reactions showed

John wasn't really bothered by it. George explained what it meant to him and honestly? John respected it. However, Paul's reaction came a bit later and he was hysterical. It took a bit back and forth and a little makeout session with John for Paul to finally see it from The Herbivore's perspective. He didn't like it but, well, who was he to judge, having ripped his best mate and partner's ear out of fear of losing him

Ringo, however, was still in isolation. Didn't leave his room for days and George was patient with him. He understood how Ringo might've felt, just taking a part of his best mate and reinforcing the Carnivore side of his brain even more. It was a Very long week for George to gently coax Ringo out of his blanket heap and when he finally came out, the first thing he did was to carry George around and latch onto him like an octopus. George was not pleased with this treatment (he was. he just wouldn't admit it)

And about the Press? Well, let's just say The Zootles were cheeky little liars. While John would tell a different story all the time, George would deny anything ever happened. He'd just say the line "deers lose their limbs all the time" (mind you, he's a Water Deer. They have no body part to lose) and he'd keep repeating them until interviewers became tired of his same answer and were soon convinced nothing just happened. Gaslighting Kings 🙏

Has zootles!George ever been open to John or maybe the other zootles about his desire for carnivores? Maybe talking about it with John wouldn’t be as awkward as with Paul and Ringo considering it could possibly sound wrong or disrespectful. (Also sorry I’m sending this question twice! I wrote it down but I genuinely can’t remember if I sent it or not)

They're looking out for him, albeit very differently (George needs better pep talkers)

George had always known his preferences were odd. He'd get wet dreams about being chased and accidentally eaten in bed by a Carnivore and he'd always found the idea of being consumed a big turn on. Most of the others thought this was just another weird quirk he'd purposely put on to make the others uncomfortable, like John and his Winston Churchill bit. But it only became concerning when both John and Paul realize this kid was being serious.

He didn't want to tell anyone about this at first, especially not Paul. But true to his canine nature, he snooped around and found his journal recounting how hot it would be for a carnivore (specifically Ringo) to eat him. Paul immediately yelled his ears off about his safety and just like the rebellious teen he is, George ignored him and got annoyed. Paul always had a superiority complex, especially towards George. He really believed he's got every right to yell at him just cause he's older and that George looks up to him as his older brother on the road and George was sick of him.

John was easier on him. George knew the things Paul wouldn't understand, John definitely would. Not only was he older than Paul and that George actually looked up to him, but he was also a Herbivore whose taste was considered rather Deviant. But even John was disturbed by what he found out. Flemish Giant John, who was part of the largest rabbit genus, who would look death in the eyes and Carnivores right in their claws and fangs and sock the living hell out of them, who'd beat a Carnivore twice his size to pulp if they so much as look at his bandmates weirdly. John Lennon, who was concerned. Herbivore to Herbivore, John knew exactly how to convey his and Paul's concerns to George in a way that would make him listen.

George never told Ringo, the subject of his sudden interest in Carnivores. Or at least, he wouldn't tell him until Brian's death. And that's a story for another time.

Nobody outside of The Zootles knew. Hell, not even Pete nor Brian knew. Pattie knew though, or at least she got a hint of it. It wasn't until he came home with a missing leg when her suspicions were confirmed.

the beatles, now slightly fuzzier than before!

john is a dog, i wanted him to be a very easily lovable animal, and what better than mans best friend. his attitude of being the center of attention also fits.

paul is a cat, mostly because i figured his face would translate well into being a cat. cats are also super lovable like dogs. and it compliments john being a dog, i think.

george is a hare. hes a skinny guy with big ears who likes plants. he keeps his ears lowered but they pop up if something surprises him. it all adds to his quiet persona

ringo is a sea otter. he just looks like a sea otter to me. did you know that sea otters bang rocks against oysters. i know he stands out as a sort of weird animal but ringo the real man stood out too.

Hey, thanks for still doing art while you’re also doing other stuff! Also, a small little question; what would the Zootles be if their species were different/swapped? Like instead of John and George being herbivores they were carnivores, and so on..

SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY The convention is finally done so now I'm back on Zootles bullshit!

Honestly? I've never actually considered if their species were swapped LMAO. The plot and species choices rely heavily on their actual personalities so I can't really see them as anything else

HOWEVER, there were Some thoughts. John would be a Cat, a fairly small Carnivore but a Carnivore nonetheless. He can't do much damage but most still don't trust him because of the stigma surrounding cats being mischievous tricksters. Paul would still be a Hybrid but this time his main characteristic would be of that of a Ram's. George would be a Vampire Bat, another Carnivore that's also heavily frowned upon for their blood diet. Ringo would be a Rooster, one of the avian folks that couldn't actually fly.

(At some point Ringo was supposed to be an Octopus to represent the seafolks' dynamic with the land dwellers but I figured that'd overtly complicate the story lol)
