#we are all cowpeople

[thatbookgirl1118]

you've heard of cowboys. you've heard of cowgirls. but what's the gender neutral term? Get ready for...

Cow people.

[gabessquishytum]

Have we played with this cow!Hob variant? Naturally produced cow milk can be addictive. 😈🐮😈

The cowpeople of the Gad Kingdom are a secretive people. They are gregarious and welcoming to visitors, but rarely do visitors stay and visitors certainly don't learn cowperson secrets (no one even considers that a cow could have a secret,,,,,,,they're so sweet!)

What no one knows is that cow milk in repeat, "large" quantities is addicting. Drinking directly from a cow's teat can addict a person in months. And cows are only somewhat aware that catpeople are extra susceptible to the addictive qualities of the milk (not a lot of cat visitors; not many cats who aren't prickly; and none who voluntarily discuss drinking from a cow).

There have been rumblings that the royal cat family, the Endless, are considering invading cow territory - they are getting poor advice from an evil war council.

Prince Hob is willing to go undercover (no one knows what the cow royal children really look like) as a prize/gift/Courtesan to see if he can addict the Crown Cat Prince Dream to his milk and turn his head and turn the march to war.

Hob was not expecting Dream to get hooked so fast or look so very good blissed out on Hob's milk - soft and happily receptive to Hob cock. Hob has a job to do yes -- stop the march to war; and he along with the other cow agents "given" to the evil war council cats will do that. But it might break Hob's heart to leave his Dream.

A Dream who may or may not survive the withdrawal.

This is soooo good. I know there are plenty of opportunities for angst here, and I'm sure we can explore them!! But.

I can't stop thinking about when Hob finally returns to his native kingdom once the war has successfully been prevented. The Endless family came around to seeing sense, and Destruction has been put at the head of the war council. He has a level head and an excellent moral compass, and Hob and his allies are sure that there will be no war, now. So, Hob goes home. But he's not alone.

He now has a very dignified cat companion. It's a kind of outreach from the cat kingdom - Dream isn't a warprize, he retains his own autonomy, but he's going to live among the cow people to absorb their culture. And yeah, he's been doing a lot of absorbing already, by the looks of it...

Fortunately the cow people think it's cute how the royal cat prince nudges his face up in between Hob’s tits and gives him that soft little look with his big blue eyes. Hob always gives in and lets him suckle immediately (it's his fault that Dream is so needy after all). Although sometimes it's a little inconvenient to have a fully grown catboy hanging off his tit.

Then again, Dream is adorable when he's "lost in the sauce" so to speak. He looks so satisfied, he's gained some weight, his fur is so shiny and healthy. As long as Hob takes care of him and keeps him close, it doesn't seem like his little addiction will cause too much trouble.

Then again, if they are separated... I think that Dream would scratch and bite anyone and anything in his quest to get his Hob back... no matter the consequences.

[inthewild-flowers]

please tell me all of these stories because these are so interesting oh my god

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh boy here we go

SO

There’s my friend’s character, Gnomeo. He’s a gnome barbarian and he was at one point married to Juliet. She took the kids in the divorce 😔 when creating gnomeo, my friend wanted him to have a motorcycle, but since it’s a medieval fantasy world that was impossible :(( instead he has a horse and cart/chariot type thing. The cart/chariot has flames painted on the side. Gnomeo is very small but very very strong and he wears muscle shirts to show of his muscles an tattoos. I’m pretty sure he has a handlebar moustache. He also wears a dunce cap that says “Gnomeo” on it. He doesnt walk anywhere, he swaggers.

Then we have my sister’s character, Gnomelene. She is also a gnome. The joke with that name was initially that it was a play on Jolene as in the Dolly Parton song, and we were saying that Juliet left Gnomeo for her but my sister didn’t like that idea :((( so Juliet and gnomelene are childhood best friends and gnomelene may or may not have forged the divorce papers for Juliet, it’s unclear. She hates Gnomeo but Gnomeo thinks that maybe if he can get into her good books Juliet will take him back. It’s a lost cause. Gnomelene is a rogue and will steal anything from anyone, and my character is deeply distrustful of her and keeps a close eye on her at all times.

Now my character!! Zac Elfron. They’re a half elf ranger bc that was the closest class to cowboy. They are, in fact, a cowboy. Cowperson technically but eh. Their parents were also cowpeople and they have a spouse that is referred to exclusively as farmer boy (although I think me and Ben came up with a name for the spouse at one point??? Billy *long German last name*??) zelfron loves their spouse very much and they frequently write him letters. They also have a lynx familiar names lynx larkin bc we had just watched the movie hairspray and zac efron played a character called link larkin. Zelfron tends to sit mysteriously in corners. They wear a cowboy hat pulled so far down over their face that no one can see what they look like. Only farmer boy knows what they look like. They’re also the hero of a famous series of newspaper comics that they occasionally get recognized from. They hate it. (I wanted the comics to be cowboy movies but again, medieval fantasy world :(()

And finally we have Elfis Presley, my friend’s sister’s character. (She’s also my sister’s friend, the four of us all hang out together fbshahashsh) elfis is, you guessed it, an elf!! He’s a bard and his instruments of choice are boomwackers and (I think) bagpipes. He left his family to travel bc no one back home supported his musical endeavours :(( he dyed his hair black and he is, frankly, a little bit emo. Hence the lack of support from his family. He got wrongly accused of murder at one point and while he was in jail he wrote the song jailhouse rock. We broke him out shortly afterwards tho so that’s fine

About John and Arthur

I’m really confused about why people are now saying that John and Arthur deserved to die? Like I agree they weren’t good people, but why are we kind of hating on them all the sudden? Like the whole point of the game is that these outlaws have a desire to become better people? Like Arthur is literally raised by an outlaw father who abuses him? His mother who was his only refuge but died young. Arthur knows this and is horrified that he is following in his father’s footsteps, but tries to avoid that.  John’s mother died at birth. His father abused the shit out of him and John is on his own at eight years old. Dutch and Hosea take them in. Some argue that they were manipulated into living that life. I think as adults they should have known better, but they felt like it was a Robin Hood thing. Yes, they were criminals and outlaws. That is true. Other than that, they literally didn’t know any other life, but they still wanted to try.   YOU the player chose whether you want Arthur and John to be evil. The canon ending is that they are both high honor. They never hurt women or children. They do hurt some men and definitely the law. Is it wrong? definitely. Arthur loved Mary whether you like her or not. Hosea and Dutch bring up that once they gave him a chance, he was a very obedient, shy and intelligent boy. Hosea brings this up constantly.  A boy who loves petting animals, a boy that picks flowers in remembrance of his dead mother. A boy that likes to draw and write. A man that cares for Jack Marston. Abigail Marston, mentors Tilly, Lenny, cares for Mary-Beth and every member of the gang. Love/Hates John and Sean. Hosea who wanted to get out of the gang . Most of them wanted to get out of that life.  Arthur, who has his heartbroken by the woman he loves. Arthur who helps John become a man and provide for his family. John, who likes to bark at dogs, cuddle with Abigail, have baby fever, helps Bonnie MacFarlane and Luisa because he can. John who is DESPERATE to leave his old life behind, but knows he doesn’t deserve it. Men who hate themselves. Think they are ugly and unlovable. Wants to raise Jack right.  Yes. They did bad things. So do all humans. Theirs is worse for sure!!!! Even if some of this stuff was for survival.  I don’t understand how people are so different now? Saying they deserved to die? I mean, one could argue that they couldn’t be redeemed without their death. That’s different The best part is, this is a fictional game. Let people enjoy the game and have a crush on their cowboys/cowgirls/cowpeople. Like they are loved for a reason. Because they are so relatable. Roger Clark, Rob Wiethoff , and the rest of the voice cast have both condemned and defended their characters’ actions. Showed them why they are human.

“So furries are cowpeople?… You are a furry too, then?”

“Yeah, we all got fursonas.”

So, I guess I’m leaving

Maybe tumblr will live on, sanitized of all those porn, lgbtqia issues, chronic illness and pain post, WOMEN and all the other nasty things we heathen like to chat about, but I guess I don’t want to be here anymore, I can’t quite ignore anymore the (kinda obvious) knowledge we are all disposable here, subjects to the whims of one big corporation or another. This makes me sad, cause in the years I found here so many brilliant artists, I learned so much from so many awesome people and I enjoyed unashamedly hours of endless shitposting. I found most of the people I follow on other platforms, so there’s that to cheer me up... I’ll stick around at least til the 17th, maybe the end of the year. I know I never was much of an interactive person over here, so maybe nobody will care BUT if you want, you can find me on Mastodon: @pizzi_e_intrallazzi@eldritch.cafe See ya, space cowpeople!

Before we get to the scores lets meet our judges!

NOAH

Hi there - cowboys, cowladies, and cowpeople! I’m Noah and I love the new movie CATS, in theaters everywhere. Maybe like 4 of you know me because I’m new to the trade but trust me, I’m about as wild as the west can get.

CHRISSA

BENJ

Hi I’m benj and alyssa died for me boom.

Let’s get to some scores! Videos are judged out of a total of 200 points.

TERLINGUA: 117

RHYOLITE: 131

MALAKOFF: 149

Link to the results and judges comments: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MMi3IVrJFE5nDND_i76dyS38I86-O4cftf9d3ChWcQ0/edit#gid=0

Music Videos:

Malakoff’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytKYDeGhkXo&feature=youtu.be

Description: With this video we had a few ideas in order to successfully exhibit our performance. Initially, we wanted to play around with a switch from black and white to color just because it was common for western movies to be black and white but since we are living in a world of color we wanted to tie the two worlds together. This also shows change within the song itself as the singer has been cheated on so it symbolizes from the old to new. In addition we tried incorporating other “western” type images at the beginning to kind of set the mood as well as fit the theme for the game but not to overdo it. With a few transitions and other exciting elements, we present to you “Before He Cheats” hope you enjoy!!

Terlingua’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YqWeElex-U&feature=youtu.be

Description: An artistic take on the Old West and the plight of country sound through a contemporary music lens that leverages a masterful use of props.

Rhylite’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOlpMCI27ZU&feature=youtu.be

That means... unfortunately Terilungua you will be headed to tribal council tomorrow where one of you will be the first person voted out of Survivor Old West!
