This post was what introduced me to the “backstory” of fluffies. I’m still very fond of it.

Its sad and informative, a good story but sad nevertheless. Man the boom of them in the city is really freaky, cars always gets fluffy squash on their car and constant washing every day.

Damn, this art’s amazing. Really love that panel of the shadowy human figure looming over the blue foal. One thing that’s never really addressed is the sheer size difference between small fluffies and humans.

Just stopping by years after the fact to say I’m glad the author chose to make the lady in red heels so THICC.

One of my all-time favorite comics, and a perfect explanation of the humans attitude toward fluffies. And all shown from the point of view of fluffies, who’ll never understand why the humans they’re born to love treat them like like trash. :blush:

For me, its the pathos of it all. She tried so hard only to see her children die. And the fluffy expressions are heartrending. That last foal sees death coming and doesn’t even try to get out of the way, because what’s the point?

And none of it was the result of calculated malice, just casual cruelty and bad luck.

Its an exquisite sadness, which we can indulge because these aren’t real creatures.

God, the way the last foal is weeping and desperately forcing a smile like if it just believes hard enough and hugs hard enough, it really will make everything better.

I consider this one of the first bleakbox stories: the humans here don’t act out of malice, they don’t openly abuse the fluffies, they are just tired and consider them pests so they are uncaring and indifferent to the suffering of these biotoys.

It also explains why fluffies’ lives are both miserable and meaningless: it was born as a product but has become a product almost nobody wants anymore.

Existential flip: humans wonder why God treats them like disposable pests.
