"Here you are, dearie."

"Since you brought me a tree, here's a plant of your very own!" :)

☁️ The Once-Ler loves the plant you’ve gifted him! It reminds him of the stars he sees on his nightly strolls!

☁️ But there’s something a bit more special about this little plant…

☁️ Not only will the stars remind him of you…

☁️ He’ll never have to travel far to get close to one.

[ Dearie ♬ ]

How does the skin feel? Tight? Comfy? I know this may seem odd to ask but I’m curious about your individuality, this your first time?

[ skin ] [ comfy ]

[ comfycomfy ]

[ first time? first time? ]

☁️ The Once-Ler can, without a doubt, confidently say that he loves his skin!

☁️ It keeps him from getting cold, protects him from dangerous pathogens, and it is indeed tight and comfy!

[something-lurks-in-this-valley]

URGH THEY’RE SO CUTE

BOTH OF THEM JUST EEE (´∀`)

☁️ Dun dun duuun! Look who’s come walking(???) to your doorstep!

☁️ Gosh he sure missed you, and he’s brought a little surprise for y-

☁️ …

☁️ That’s… literally a whole tree… that he’s carrying. So much for a ‘little’ surprise…

"My goodness! What a lovely surprise!"

"Hello dear! Thank you for the gift! :)

"Hmmmm, I'm not sure where I'm going to put this tree, but I'm sure I'll figure something out!"

"Hehe, 'll give you a welcome back present a little later!" (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

☁️ …What song is he singing now???

☁️ It seems like he heard the abrupt coughing and the big meow in the distance, and his body twitches and spasms in ways that look involuntary.

☁️ He kept his head on a steady turn until…

☁️ You were spotted! He doesn’t seem unfriendly or mean, so maybe he is just a random visitor from town, hiking or going on a walk.

☁️ …?

☁️ WOWOW A CAT A KITYT :D

☁️ KITTYYCAT :D:D

☁️ Well he likes cats, but the cat… does not like him…

[Quiet gusts of wind pass by..

The Truffula trees softly swaying in it,

As a peculiar and questionable sight comes in within his.]

HhUUH?!?!??!!—..

[COugh cough!!

CoUGH!..]

WhAT?!..

[something-lurks-in-this-valley]

Evening, how’re ya?

[ How’re ya? ]

[ Evening _ ya? ]

☁️ The Once-Ler(???) is doing fantastic! He hopes you’re doing great as well!

[something-lurks-in-this-valley]

I made you a little cake! ( ´﹀` )✨️🍓

☁️ The Once-Ler(???) is very happy to see you, and the cake smells amazing!

☁️ As far as first impressions go, you are A-OK in his book!

[ I made _ little cake ]

[ you _ little cake ]

[ a little cake ]

☁️ It seems you’ll both get along just fine!

📺 : I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT!! I kinda almost forgot I had this side blog fhdjshd

[something-lurks-in-this-valley]

☁️ It seems that the unusual sight comes unwelcome to the wildlife of the colorful valley.

☁️ Barbaloots hide under truffula trees, swomee swans take to the skies, and the humming fish dart away under the chilly river waters.

☁️ Even the trees seem to sway in the wind with unease.

☁️ The foreign individual is…

☁️ …wearing really fluffy socks? And no shoes??

☁️ What a strange man…

"I may not be talented on the whistling front, but I am good at ponytails!"

*floats to the top of your head*

"May I?" :)

☁️ The Once-Ler(???) has never heard of a ‘ponytail’ before, so naturally it takes him just a moment of thinking before he makes a decision!

☁️ Normally he’d be very skeptical and pretty shy if it were someone else…

☁️ …but you’ve been nice to him thus far, so why not? He keeps his seat where it is, allowing you the room to do your thing!

☁️ He’s very excited to see what this ‘ponytail’ will look like! :D:D

[something-lurks-in-this-valley]

"Hehe, I'm so glad you like it! Say, how do you do that? The whistling, I mean. I've tried many times, but I could never get a single note! Here, let me-"

*attempts to whistle*

"Pff pff pffb pff pffbpbpff!!"

*fails miserably*

☁️ He waits for you to finish your attempt to whistle patiently, hugging his knees lazily while he lets the star rest on his head.

☁️ And once you were done, he lets his head down to demonstrate his method! His whistles apparently come from his back!

☁️ The star seems to be amused…

MOD JAKE SPEAKING !!

I am so sorry for the long wait, I thought I answered this ask earlier this week, and I’ve been busy hh I’m so sorry !!

This was the first ever drawing concept of Fuzzy!

Not much was changed from this design, but my favorite new feature on his official design are the millions upon bajillions of freckles.

What about y’all? What are your favorite features (old or new) on him? 👀

[something-lurks-in-this-valley]

🦇- So you're Onceler huh? I'm new around here just flew to this place and got to know here!

☁️ The one and only! You can’t miss his charming smile and raven-black hair!

[something-lurks-in-this-valley]

* . . .

For some reason, he seems to stare at the item as if its the first time he's seen it.

.

He leaves for a while before he comes back, this time with a bloodied up skin of what appeared to be those little bears.

* . . . :]] ?

Do you accept the offer?

☁️ Recognizing the gesture of the gift, he leans down to smell the remains of the poor barbaloot!

☁️ It looks like he might accept it…!

[ ♫ ]

☁️ It looks like you’ve redeemed yourself in his book! He likes the new gift, and chirps loudly with gratitude! Yay!

[something-lurks-in-this-valley]

Holy crap this is an interesting au LOL

Regarding to...Skinwalk-ler? Idk how to ask this but I wanna know more of this guy 😭 who is he (as onceler) and...does his smile change or does it stay like that all the time? How tall is he compared to the actual onceler (or other onceler, whichever). Does he have any family? How does he react to the barbaloots, swomee swans, humming fish and most importantly the lorax himself? Does he still cut down trees? Why never whistle in the forests? What will happen if I do?

(Also hi hi sorta back from the dead again)

📺 : Howdy-do!

This AU is definitely still in the works, but one thing is for certain, Mr. Fuzzy Socks isn’t a Once-Ler at all! He’s something pretending to be him. A skin-walker!

So, no, his smile does not change because that isn’t really his face, that’s just how he’s wearing the skin of The Once-Ler’s face! He’s not taller, actually, he appears shorter because of the terrible slouch in his back! So he is still technically 6”4…

He has no family or relatives, nor does he really have a species, he just is what he is on his own. He’s more of a paranormal being, and so the other animals run away from him! The Lorax does not interact with him, in fact, The Once-Ler didn’t even get a chance to chop down a tree yet in order to summon The Lorax.

The ‘never whistle in forests’ is more of a superstition where it’s believed that curses or bad spirits may follow you if you whistle in forests or woods. And what does The Once-ler do in the movie? He whistles! So it can be guessed as to what happened to him.

I hope this was helpful on what there is so far regarding the AU and your question, and I’m happy to hear from you again !! :3
