Like pretend we’re in the fluffyverse. How would we all react to the little bastards? I mean personally even though I enjoy seeing them being brutally slaughtered on here with you all. IRL I’d probably own one and it’d probably be spoiled as fuck. That being said I’d probably hate ferals. Living in the middle of nowhere where autumn hits like a truck and vegetation is gone for half the year I can see them raiding everyone’s trashcans and making a mess. Fluffies would be considered a pest worse than raccoons or possums. Especially considering unlike those two animals Fluffies can be malicious. I can see fluffy trapping/hunting becoming a passtime like coyote trapping is now. Oh and Coyotes would definitely keep them thinned out in rural areas.
Another reason Is while fluffy herds wouldn’t be anything but an annoyance for older kids and adults I can see a potential hellspawn smartie making his herd target a younger child. I mean you have your toddler outside on the swing set. You look down at your phone for 5 minutes and hear a scream. You look up and some toughies are stomping your kid. I imagine this would be a real scenario if they were real.
What do you folk think though? How would you react to IRL Fluffies?
I’d probably mostly leave them be. I mean I live in town so I don’t really have to, but living out on the farm we’d probably have shot them as pests if they came to claim our “nummies” for themselves.
I wouldn’t own one, but I’d probably be petting them a lot when encountering them.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. No way I’m taking care of a brat prone perma-todder with diarrhea as a racial trait and is as fragile as hand blown glass. And if I ever caught them in my veggies garden they go right in my burn barrel. alive.
Depends on exactly how fragile and weak they are. I don’t want to risk fluffies hurting my smallest child or another if we have more. I also don’t want fluffies that would explode into blood at the first sign of trauma since that would scare the hell out of kids, too. And we would be very sick of cleaning blood up all the time.
We would probably have a fluffy or two in the house. Maybe if they were good, they could have babies. I can’t deny that I would probably do something like Pistachio’s Special Friend (OtherCoraline) if the stallion was not good father material, just to take a little hit of cruelty crack because a fluffy has the programmed capacity to appreciate the consequences and seeming unfairness of such a thing.
I would hope the fluffies would be able to reach a level of maturity beyond 4-5 years old so they could grasp concepts like delaying wants and controlling some of their emotions better. Otherwise I suppose my kids would be meeting a lot of “nyu fwiends” and a lot of fluffies would have gone to “live on a farm” or whatever the excuse is these days.
Ferals, though, would not be welcome–doubly so in the vegetable garden. The dogs would probably enjoy the sport of chasing and playing with fluffies. And, as for the pushy types it would be rewarding to throw a mummah and babbehs in a box out in front of a truck if they didn’t take “no” for an answer to the “nyu daddeh” question.
Ah man, i often think about them being real!! I rekon it Would take a while for them to get to the uk and by the time they did I would think/hope some of the less disirable traits would have been bred out.
I defo wouldnt get one strait away, wait and see what others think about them but at the same time i would be petting and probably feeding all the ferals lol! I think i would start with micros, then aqua and work up to a proper fluffy!!
Probably with some level of disgust. Morbid curiosity. I’d likely adopt one or a few. But for most ferals, especially smarties, mostly unbridled rage & hatred. Maybe even moods of a need to rip and tear until there’s none left in my vicinity… for a while.
Really depends on the kind of fluffies we’re talking about.
The nice and kind ones would be alright. I’m a big softie in real life and would probably be the biggest hugboxer in the world.
If we’re talking roaming herds that destroy yards and the like, I’d keep a hose ready to turn on them.
If it ever went down like it does in bleakbox, ideally I’d never encounter them if the exterminators are doing their jobs.
If I did encounter one, depending on the setting, I might be being paid to kill them, or be legally obligated to kill them, or I could just leave them alone.
If Hasbio actually worked out all the kinks and made them genuine biotoys like they had planned, I’m still not sure if I’d ever want one, or if I’d have the time to take care of one. I’m happy with just my fish.
Another thing I could see happening is given their extremely short gestation and how quickly they reach maturity they’d be treated as an invasive species and many places would offer bounties on them to get people to kill them. I’ve seen them do it to coyotes many times here in Appalachia.
