How did cannibalism started in your Headcanon?

Just a random thought

Mine started way before fluffies were released, in HasbioLabs.

The beta fluffy fur had a “Scratch & Smell” feature, with each color have a unique smell like pink is strawberry, green is green apple, brown is chocolate and so on.

During test runs, while fluffies were playing and hugging each other, they started to bite and eat each other because they thought that if they smell good, they would also taste good.
Later on, Hasbio added an extra compound to remove the smell.

Nowadays, a normal fluffy would gag at the idea of eating another fluffy, but those who actually do, that compound makes their meat ultra sweet and highly addictive giving them a “crack-head” effect.
The swirl and yellowing of their eyes is a side effect of the compound.

My cannibals are not round, puffy and healthy, they are skinny and mentally broken.
They straight up refuses any other source food and if they cant eat another fluffy, they start eating themself till death.

Cringe? Probably
Redditslop? Probably too.
But its funny to me this way.

I do not “cannibal”, I do not “sharp teeth”, I do not “swirly eyes”, I write about FLUFFIES. And if they’re capable of fighting off anything other than perhaps a field mouse, I don’t care.

Now u made me rember that their teeth are jagged bc of their constant munching over bones that slowly push back the tooth inside their gums

Thanks Za

well if im ever able to properly write a story without some one saying it was ai made i was going to have a former hasbio scientist get so angry at the normal fluffies that he uses stolen equipment to make the cannibal fluffies as a way to start culling the normals.

Long ago (pre-Fluffybooru) I wrote a story about fluffies at the dump raiding other herds to steal babbies and eat them, 100% inspired by wild chimpanzees.

In the long run though, I didn’t like it and abandoned the headcanon. In my ‘fluffyverse’ cannibalism doesn’t exist or is so rare it’s insignificant.

All instances of it in my stories so far have been born purely out of survival or from humans forcing fluffies into shock videos. Fluffies should never actively want to do it.

For me, cannibals do not exist as a species; they are a dietary adaptation. Fluffies were made to be able to eat and digest almost anything, and in case of scarcity, they will eat each other. However, their limited adaptation makes them susceptible to neurological problems due to malnutrition, eye problems due to a deficiency of certain amino acids that they cannot produce themselves (like cats, which without taurine from meat become blind and develop heart problems), and broken teeth from chewing raw meat and bones, which people mistake for fangs. They are not superior and predatory; they are the fluffy equivalent of a homeless person who eats another when there is no food.

The utter shit show of genetic recombination that became known as fluffies is partially to blame for cannibalism. We know there’s a worrying amount of ape DNA in fluffies. Hasbio didn’t exactly work hard to make it all go together. (According to urban legend, a toilet plunger was required to make certain traits stick.) Yeah, they could have used bonobo and orangutan DNA, but why do that when chimpanzee and siamang are right there?

Thing is, not all apes are made equal. Gorillas, once so feared as to inspire King Kong, are now known to be gentle and devoted to their family groups. Bonobos solve disputes with sex and affection. Orangutan are strong, but gentle and shy.

Chimps, otoh, are warlike bastards who seek out the offspring of rival troupes as food. Siamangs and other gibbons, the lesser apes, are just as bad. Worse, in order to achieve such traits as a speech-capable hyoid bone, as well as developed speech centres, Hasbio crammed in DNA from the last, and arguably most dangerous, of all great ape species.

That’s us. A species willing to destroy its own planet for a quick buck. We don’t just have recorded incidents of cannibalism under varying conditions, we think it’s funny. Long pig, anyone?

Take all those traits and cram them together. Deep seated traits. Violent traits. Stuff them into equinoid monstrosities the size of house cats. Call PETA and force the little bastards into starvation conditions. Watch the shit float to the top. Amongst that shit you’ll find nuggets of hubris: the corn kernels of arrogance and cruelty. Within, you’ll find inevitability.

A species that devours its own young to survive will, in time, also devour that same young for enjoyment.

I don’t think fluffy cannibalism is common among domestics. In fact, I think it’s pretty rare in general. However, when it happens, it happens with all the gusto a dictator shows mass executions. Because fluffies are so inherently wrong, it eventually shows. Spirals of a yet-unidentified crystalline byproduct form in the irises. Further deposits appear throughout the central nervous system, leading to mania and, as some evidence shows, a sort of early onset dementia. Worse, since the advent of “babbeh for sketties” boxes, it’s begun to appear more widely in urban fluffy herds.

Now, fluffy meat is being considered as a food source for humans. It’s been eaten by hunters almost since the original mass release. Chinese wet markets have offered it ever since fluffies were first smuggled through the Shanghai ports. It’s a little sweet, but soft and reasonably tasty. It’s a lot like pork. The running gag is “short pig”. There haven’t been any side effects. Not officially. Sure, someone’s grandpa in the mountains went crazy, and his autopsy came back a little weird, but who knows what the hell he was doing out in the middle of nowhere.

Walmart is going to start offering fluffy meat next month. They won’t call it that, but it’s cheap and it tastes good. They might as well create a new demand, right?

Right?

It’s just a rare bug that can happen, like getting an SBS. They’re exactly like normal fluffies but look extra cool and have a hankering for meat that worsens the more of it they eat (they don’t know it’s meat they need and many go their whole lives without knowing it’s an option, resigned to being kinda hungry for all eternity).

With emphasis on “very rarely”. I don’t plan on ever writing about these “true” cannibal fluffies and have considered just cutting them out of my headcanon entirely because they’re that small of a footnote.

The choice was either cannibalism or eating Taco Bell.

In my funky little universe, under normal circumstances cases of fluffies munching on eachother are EXTREMELY RARE and often more along the lines of last resort scavenging of the dead(they will literally avoid eating a dead fluffy at all costs). The swirly-eyed ones are more of a rare mutation backyard breeders have tried to pass off as a “better” fluffy to edgelords, only to have that live shorter lives than normal due to their brains turning to Swiss cheese. Any reputable fluffy breeders would cull any mares or stallions in their breeding program that throw cannibal mutations, mostly due to how aggressive they can get.

Of course they suck. How else do they get all the blood?

It didn’t start, it was always a thing. Comes from the rabbit DNA.

A field mouse could totally fuck up a fluffy. Rodent bites are no joke.

genetic mutation or adaptation, I’m a big fan of speculative evolution so the idea of it being Darwinian in nature appeals to me
