I like a lot the last panel with the smoke blowing up in the sky. Good work you two!
Indeed. Also there’s a saying in my industry “Use 100$ to save 1$”. Change is not necessarily for the better nor profitable. And when it’s finally implemented, you can be sure that the only thing that have an guaranteed increase is the amount of paperwork.
Anyhow, I really liked this ending. The scenery, the employees and the disposal of Enfeeh. Not often I get my megadose of industrial sadbox.
Great work @infraredturbine & @anon68543914
Wait, the foal is already grown up? I thought it had only 4 days left.
no but he got kinda fat, since he could eat all day without runing (stuck in that small box xD)
Although we also never established how long he was in the isolation room for. There is a clear time skip (he entered in as a Talkie Babbeh (as you can see him drinking milk) and during the time skip he has swapped to kibble).
Interestingly enough at least according to my headcanon/ things I’ve written before, when fluffies do enter puberty and have their growth spurt (early adolescence), its often very quick at a near comical level. So it is entirely possible he entered into the adolescents stage a few days prior and hit a quick growth spurt prior to being put down. Its probably why he’s super docile and not trying to fight or run, his body must be super sore.
If you wanna see that, look at our joint work “The Facility”.
would prefere the Bad ending but this one is good too
very nice art!!
Ah shit, my bad, I didn’t notice he grew in isolation.
Its easy to miss. At least in my canon usually fluffies grow pretty slow, but we have no baseline of time. I see them growing at this rate of development.
0 - 2 Weeks: Chirpy
2 weeks - 8 weeks: Talkie (The baby was found in this stage)
2 - 4 Months: Weanling
4 - 11 Months: Adolescence
1 Year - Adult.
So we don’t know for sure how long he was in that isolation room for, among other factors.
That’s a pretty good canon, but personally I cut the time in half. Don’t know about Infrared’s, though.
The “problem” was that Infrared’s fluffies don’t change much from babbeh to adolescence other than in size, while other artists make drastic changes to proportions and fluff development, so it was really easy to miss.
I keep them going longer because it gives my stories more wiggle room on foals helplessness in sadbox (longer they take for solids, longer their window of risk).
To be honest between the Talkie stage and weanling, there isn’t much difference in size. Most of the time (since we work together a lot, he uses a lot of my canon on it) the mane is fuller on a weanling and they are just able to talk more coherently/eat solids.
However I like to think when fluffies hit that growth spurt, its more of a hilarious almost full size in a week, lol. ‘Daddeh why fwuffy hab no bawance! Weggie huwties!’
I reread this comic and read the description on the enfie babbeh syndrome. My feelings towards the fluffies I this story hasn’t changed. They purposefully hurt that fluffy repeatedly. They purposefully defied what the humans wanted and wanted that fluffy to keep quiet. This implies that they know they are doing wrong.
I can’t blame them for humans being stupid and egotistical enough to create fluffies, nor for the same traits of people releasing these beings that are not natural to the world and therefore not properly survive in it.
I wonder if fluffies could be taught why a fluffy smells the way it dies and how to properly react to it.
Also, just how inexpensive was that surgery, that they can just toss the fluffy out like yesterday’s trash?
So, those fluffies don’t listen to humans, will ignore rules and still got adopted? I would be so paissed to learn that my fluffy was like that and I wasn’t told. Nope, off to the furnace for such fluffies.
I’m sorry if I come off as mean or complaining. Just touched by the story and its overall sadness. I do my best to stay away from the more sad ones because they hurt and are often very realistic.
I love the artwork and do enjoy the story here. I hope to see more from you two
thanks for your opinion man
I am always reading it all, and I agree, my fluffies they change just a little, I prefer to make them different as babies, and then they just grew up in size indeed xD
You know it kinda bugs me, but shelters doing this and stuff would make the entire block smell rancid and gross. I mean cmon, and for fluffies who shit themselves over any kind of fear it would be like the most horrid smelling place that always, “nu smeww pwetty.”
Injecting with poison = absolute waste of money
Beating to death with a crowbar = cheap and fun!
Tragic. No huggies, no love, no adoption, no nice humans… Everything the fluffy is genetically engineered to believe as universal truth is actually fickle, and for this babbeh in particular, completely wrong.
Warms my heart to see such cosmic betrayal.
Well at least he didn’t just chunk him in alive
So, in terms of food the initial ‘thought’ is that workers will perposefully make extra food to take home on company money. Which I don’t know anyone in my years in food service anyone even doing even in places where managers flexed this rule. Some places are even worse though and will perposefully contaminate the food they make people throw out so that it’s toxic to prevent dumpster diving. I was told to pour cleaning chemicals into the garbage at one place I worked and I quit as soon as I had another job.
sniffles I absolutely love happy endings :,D
