Bunny Epel

I’m actually not late for his bday, woo! He’s also very purple.

Inspired by @blondeaxolotl’s animal twst cast. (Sorry about the @) Go check out their art. It’s really cool and has inspired me a lot and I want to hug it.

I originally sent it in via my main account (and connected it to 🔆anon since tumblr doesn’t let you send things from side accounts) but this is really the only one I post stuff on.

I was going to do a bit more (clean up line art more and do a fully hamster Riddle plus a Trey, maybe the Tweels) but this took ~10 hrs on and off so that will have to be later.

My ideas for the characters are below the cut

—

So far the animals I’ve thought of for everyone (not a complete list:

Riddle - Hamster

Trey - Bear

Cater - Probably red panda (saw red panda Cater elsewhere and loved it)

Ace - Probably cat or fox

Deuce - Probably dog or chicken

Epel - Bunny (obviously)

Rook - Owl (likely a horned owl because they look cool)

Savannaclaw, Octavinelle, and Diasomnia (not Silver) - The animals they are/are connected to in canon (I just need to figure out how to draw Azul. I shockingly have ideas for the Tweels.)

Feel free to give ideas or suggestions.

Siren Philosophy 1

Transcript:

Male Siren 1 (MS1): I do not think that humans eat animals.

MS1: I have never seen one do such a thing, and humans have animals that they do not eat. So they must not eat animals.

MS1: Furthermore, their mouths are small. They cannot eat animals properly. And they cannot rip animals apart, as trolls do, because they are so weak.

Male Siren 2 (MS2): I do not know if that is correct. Many small and weak animals eat smaller and weaker animals. Foxes are small and weak animals, and foxes eat mice and voles.

MS1: That is true, you are correct. We cannot conclude that humans do not eat mice and voles.

hookup culture is not for me. wdym you don't think sex is the closest thing to touching souls, wdym you don't think sex is inherently romantic, wdym you don't yearn for someone you love to have you whole?

[vocabulary-altering-posts]

you really need to raise your standards for what's considered "a phrase" because if it only makes sense in the specific context of the post it was originally found in and it isn't repeatable in other situations, that's not a phrase that has entered the lexicon, that's just something someone said one time.

i started this thing last week i need all the posts i can handle

What doesn't alter your vocabulary may alter, or may have already altered, someone else's. This is not about adding to The General Lexicon - I have an entire tag for things that change this site as a whole, which has a higher bar; this is largely about novelty and humor. This is us curb-stomping whatever the fuck we want into the right form for our needs, whatever those needs may be, including altering aspects of the phrase to fit the necessary format or context. It's a linguistic shotgun.

its my fuckin blog bitch ill shit where i want

This isn’t exactly my usual writing, but more just something I wanted to say as I finish up Playful Land since it hits close to home for me. I just had a lot of emotions on the point that I wanted to share. (This post is just me rambling completely unplanned, so feel free to skip if you’re not into that.)

Rant is bellow the cut and this does have spoilers.

I think Fellow and the message of Playful Land is a really important to listen to with his points on school. And I say this because I’ve been through a similar situation. It’s far from the same thing, but similar enough that his point struck home. Mainly what the NRC gang were talking about when they school matters.

Beyond around Elementary School, the point of school isn’t education, that’s already done. The only thing about school education that will matter is how to read, how to write, and how to do basic arithmetic. All stuff that you’d learn by the end of elementary school. Sure there may be points that matter outside of elementary school (and probably more inside elementary school that I didn’t list), but not much that will affect daily life.

What matters after that is the fact school is a safety net. You learn how to make friends, how meet people with different experiences, how to set expectations and boundaries. All with adults around to help you. It allows you to learn the basics of society with safety, because in real life, if you mess up, you don’t get an out, you don’t get a “we’re here to learn how to do this”.

Now, unlike Fellow, I was in a financial position to go to school, but for where the safety net of society part was, I couldn’t use that opportunity due to mental and physical health/disabilities. In middle school, I was dealing with mental health problems which caused me to shut myself out from everyone, and in high school physical health problems kicked in and I couldn’t even go into school because I couldn’t get out of bed.

So, just like Fellow, I missed a lot of the opportunities people others were given. I felt a door slam in my face every time. I felt everything shut me out. Without school I didn’t have any social knowledge on how to make friends or how to just interact in a way others got years of practice with.

And there’s even the way school teaches you to prioritize things, trying to keep on top of your grades and have a decent stable social life. Another lesson I missed. And since grades became a measure of this (along with the connections that I also didn’t have) and mine tanked, those were more doors shut.

Of course, I didn’t end up like Fellow did and do horrible things. And I don’t expect people to think that Fellow is a good person either, because he’s really not, but his story is important. People who don’t have school as an option have every door slammed in their face and are shut out by society.

And that envy is definitely real too. Seeing others happily get what you lack and being able to act like it’s normal is one of the worst feelings.

Plus the expectations Fellow mentioned for about one line, those are also real. And while, at the start I was a ‘gifted kid’ and on the other side, when my health started acting up and my grades tanked, I saw the other side too. Where people expect things from you whether you can give it or not. And if you can’t give it, they drop you.

Now, do I think Playful Land is some masterpiece that should be studied for years to come? No, I don’t really even think the event is good beyond some fun moments. The plot feels unplanned and strung together haphazardly. And the message at the end feels shoved down your throat.

But it shouldn’t be ignored because the message has real consequences for real people.

Anyways, this isn’t meant to be a “poor me” thing or anything more than just a ramble I wanted to share because I had big feelings. And I know there are people who are probably closer to the specific scenario than me, but I still just wanted to mention my point of view.

But that’s enough of me on my soapbox. Thank you for reading my rambles and have a good day/night/whatever time zone you’re in.
