Chapter 9 of Avocado. This chapter was originally supposed to be much longer, but upon reflection I realized that the chapter would have too much bloat if I tried to do everything I wanted in it. So I decided to focus this chapter on one important event in Avocado’s life - a ceremony that would recognize his status as an adult fluffy, “all gwow’d up.”
Some notes:
- Originally, the Interluder short was supposed to be followed up in this chapter. Instead, the followed up to Interluder will be in Chapter 10
- Chapter 9 should be seen as told primarily from Avocado’s perspective. Chapter 10 will centre around perspectives of the humans close to Avocado.
- Hummehs is pronouced with a ‘y’, as in ‘hyummehs’. My idea behind this is that I imagine fluffies, being so familiar with humans, would have the term descring the master race as rhyming with “mummah”, “daddeh”, “babbeh” and “fwuffeh”.
- the illustration for this chapter comes from Avocado’s first appearance as an adult.
