Ohh ok
enfing out of dread for a close death? interesting
I read once that the usually live 12-15 years. That seemed realistic.
Ageing and death are linked to the metabolism of a lifeform. A slow metabolism often equals high longevity, and a rapid metabolism equals a short lifespan. There are a lot of different factors though, so take this with a grain of salt.
Fluffies do have a high metabolism, in most headcanons:
- high amounts of food consumed, poop every few hours
- rapid gestation and growth (around 3 to 6 weeks of pregnancy, four to twenty weeks till adulthood in most headcanons)
So itâs save to say they have a rather short lifespan. But how short exactly?
You donât find that many headcanons that state the actual life expectancy of fluffies, probably because most creators donât want to set their âmaximum ageâ in stone, or because they didnât consider it (depending on which side of the fandom youâre examining, most fluffies wonât reach an old age anyway). But what Iâve seen so far is that fluffies can reach an age of around 6 to 10 years (that would also be my headcanon). Thatâs also a range prominently featured in the Rosemary series.
Most of them donât even make it to 1.
itâs not because of age tho
Youâre not the only one who can be a clown, yâknow.
Honk. Honk.
why those dots between the honks terrify me so much?
I was going for more of a âgrumpy birthday party clown who hates what he does for a livingâ kind of vibe. Yâknow, a âyeah yeah, hereâs your damn balloon animal, now scram, kidâ sort of thing.
Has anyone ever done anything about a clown making balloon fluffies?
no, but you know whatâs better? a clown giving balloon animals to fluffies. one second itâs a balloon, and the other itâs a scary barkie munstah
Three words: fluffy birthday party.
If properly cared for
I imagine fluffy ponies have a high mortality rate
How tragic that thatâs the best case scenario.
while all that is true fluffies are not a natural occurring animal how much reality you want to bring in to them greatly changes how long they live and age . the example of there gestation and growth is very unrealistic for an animal that his sapiens level of intelligence they would have a very long child hood like humans do and a longish gestation
True. But they were made with the DNA of lots of naturally occurring animals.
So they can probably evolve, just like any other animal.
And hey, look at how long humans can live these days. There was a time when you would have been extremely lucky to make it to 30.
So, my point is that a fluffyâs lifespan can probably be extended too.
Fluffys are to radically different from any animal for simple splicing to work,they would need to completely artificial, humans extend lifespan is more about better living conditions than any sort of evolution fluffys in a human home are all ready living in the most ideal of conditions
Yes, Iâve said before that fluffies definitely fall under science fiction.
But hey, thatâs the great thing about fiction, it doesnât have to be scientifically accurate.
Then what are you arguing that you can do what ever you want because lol science fiction so random
Iâm just saying, fluffies can live as long as you want them to. Because theyâre fictional.
But it doesnât mean it ainât worth talking about. I like seeing what other people think about this.
I said that a long time ago , if you want to talk about the merits of your idea you canât just pull the I can do what ever I want because itâs not real
