Ding ding ding, wake up Once-ler Fandom we are being fed!
I was so shocked that this hasn't been circulating around here yet, it is really cool to get this early look and see some unfinished animation that didn't make it into the final movie. I especially love the unfinished shots of the Once-ler in the river!
I have been working on something still Lorax2012 related though (my obsession with that bastardised movie adaptation is sickening.)
I want to write a spanish translation for 'Biggering' but more dramatic and with a higher word count than the U.S. declaration of independence.
Problems are:
1) Should I just publish that as a cover, or - even more ambitious - animate it as well? Because what else am I going to do, a stop-motion animation with my Once-ler figure? (That doesn't sound too bad now that I think about it)
2) my singing voice is... Not the best. It's wacky. I'm seriously considering hiring a male singer but that would drag the production time even further... I really want this to be good.
My biggest problem is that I seriously consider that any piece of work that I do will become a popular or, even better yet, monetary success otherwise it's a waste of time. Wow, seems like Biggering has got to my head huh?

Sike. Of course includes Once-ler progress. Big pant
So , I don't have access to bitters account anymore. I don't know why but none of my passwords are working.
But if I could, I would have him share with you some tips to handle quarantining as he has spent years in that lurkim (lerkim canonically, lurkim for bitters canon).
He'd tell you that he never expected to actually leave that place even though he hoped, but in spite of that, keeping routine helped him feel real, like he was still there. He stocked up on toothpaste and floss because that man would NEVER be caught letting his dental hygiene go.
He made his bed and kept a kettle going all day for tea and powdered hot chocolate.
He opened the ask blog to break away from the lonliness, and while at first he seemed like he didn't want anyone around, it was obviously to all that he did, desperately.
He tried to answer a few asks every day even if he wasn't feeling it, even if they were private, or at the very least contact a couple people. Depression, at times like these, can be the worst and that sometimes the lurkim truly resembled how he felt inside: alone, isolated, shrouded by clouds,
But the sun always did come, and he got through it, and he believes everyone else can and will too.
I wish so so much that I could have him answer some of your asks during this time and I am so very sorry that I cannot do that. I've tried for months to reaccess the account.
But I love you all, Bitter loves you all and to this day appreciates every single one of you.
Okay so after promising to post pics of him months ago I finally got around to taking the pictures AIDNDKDND
I know they aren't the best but it is hard to get proper pictures of him, he is pretty big!
I commissioned the design from xfpno on deviantart, he doesn't normally draw the Once-ler but he did a wonderful job. I'm really happy with how it came out!
I then had the design printed on a pillowcase from artscow! If you guys ever order from that website though, pay extra for the faster shipping because I had to wait over two months to get him but I love him and it was worth it!
