Hello there, this is just a few cliff notes about my head-canon and is just here as a reminder for myself and also serves as a quick link to give to anyone with questions about why certain things in one of my stories are the way they are.
—
- HASBIO hardcoded censorship into fluffies:
In my canon it is impossible for fluffies to learn and reproduce common swear words and offensive phrases, even being exposed to bad language causes them extreme discomfort, anxiety and headaches. This explains why fluffies in my universe will use terms like “enf off” and “nu enfin’ way” to express themselves dramatically, even in life or death situations where using actual swear words would be more appropriate. This censorship was hard coded by HASBIO specifically to avoid offending their customer base. There are a few fluffies that can swear properly but they are very rare cases and these abnormalities are typically a result of some form of cognitive difference at birth or brain damage.
—
- All fluffies have a desire for humans to love them, yes, even smarties deep down.
—
- Fluffies will mentally break when exposed to human on human violence:
as fluffies are programmed to view humans as some form of benevolent godly creature, witnessing two humans or two groups of humans committing acts of unspeakable cruelty to one another would be like a human witnessing the end of the universe.
—
- Not all fluffies are made equal:
Most fluffies are very npc-like in how they behave and view the world, but there are rare occasions where fluffies are born with a higher capacity of self-awareness. This higher level of understanding results in more quirky personality traits such as obsession, hyperfixation, addiction, slightly higher intelligence, better problem solving skills and a capacity for greater anti-social behavior.
—
- Cannibal fluffies are not a result of genetic mutation occurring in regular fluffies but were a project created and released specifically to cull the population.
—
- HASBIO was saved from going under by being purchased by MEDTEL, the competitor bio-toy division of MATTEL.
—
- Fluffies are immune to painkillers and anesthesia. They can only be knocked out properly via head trauma or by getting them drunk until they black out.
—
- All fluffies have an ingrained but extremely vague understanding of both heaven and god as concepts:
During the production of fluffies, HASBIO was teetering on the edge of financial ruin, due to how much money they had poured into the project. To keep themselves afloat, the company took a few shady payments under the table by an unnamed religious organisation, a bribe in exchange for programming their product with an understanding of heaven (sketti-wand) and god (sky-daddeh), so as to help the toy’s child owner possibly accept religious indoctrination. Although the bribery quickly dried up and the programming never went further than that. Simply resulting in a few lines of pointless, dead end neurological code.
—
- fluffies are not the only biotoys:
in my headcanon, many companies have attempted to take the prestigious biotoy market but so very few have succeeded outside of a few companies located in both japan, Germany and south Korea. since fluffies became an ecological disaster, intense laws were passed on an international level that demanded rigid, costly and extreme safety and containment measures that were simply so expensive and gave such little wiggle room that most toy companies turned away at the prospect. With that being said, only fluffies are a world wide menace, being the first and greatest failure of the biotoys concept as a whole, while the other biotoys on the market that have squeezed themselves passed the rigorous international laws and restrictions are fully working, completely coded and have taken the spot as lovable and family appropriate pets, a position once destined for the shitrats, if only fate had been kinder to them.
—
- Chirpie = programming not fully active:
The fluffy cognitive programming kicks in as soon as a chirpie opens their eyes. Before a foal opens their eyes, they are not yet properly sentient and are running on basic natural instincts, since the cognitive engrams that give all fluffies a rough idea of the world is yet to activate; meaning that there is not yet any concept of language, milkies, love, huggies, skettie or mummah and daddeh, until their software kicks in and they begin looking around.
—
- Pre-breakout vs Post-breakout fluffies:
Generation 1 and Generation 2 fluffies are divided by tiny mutations that have resulted from natural selection. You can find out more here.
—
- SBS Likelihood and age:
Sensitive baby syndrome, natural derping and birth defects becomes more and more likely as a fluffy mare ages. The prime breeding years for a fluffy mare is anywhere between 1 to 3, with every year following resulting in diminishing returns. The ages of 4 to 6 are considered middle aged and 7 to 10 being elderly. On average a fluffy is expected to live about 10 years, with 15 being the absolute max a fluffy could live with the utmost premium care, love and medicine.
—
- Heartbreak death:
Rare, but not impossible, a fluffy may die of a broken heart under very specific conditions and is not guaranteed to be replicated. Death by heartbreak is ten times more likely to happen to a foal in the same circumstances. If a foal is washed, fed, kept warm and looked after in every regard, yet never once held, it has a 40% chance to die via broken heart.
—
- Enfie bebbeh and runt scent:
All fluffies, but mares specifically, have an incredible sense of smell when sussing out weaknesses in their own kind. A foal that is born with an invisible defect, a tumour, or a genetic abnormality, all have a 45% chance of producing the ‘runt scent’, which naturally is produced to inform adult fluffies that a young fluffy is somehow defective at birth and in need of serious medical attention. Enfie bebbeh scent is 93% likely to be produced when a foal has survived sexual abuse, resulting in the glands that produce the runt scent pheromones to aggressively overcharge from the intense trauma and break, causing the scent to never go away. Fluffies with both versions of the runt scent will grow up ostracised, hated and feared by their own kind, often resulting in the absence of an ego, self worth or a positive outlook on life.
—
- “dat nu am toysie!”:
Fluffies are preprogrammed to feel intense fear, anxiety and stress when in the vicinity of guns. This was put into effect by Hasbio as a method in which to help children not play with their parents guns. An unfortunate side effect of this rather buggy neurological code is that fluffies can not distinguish between a gun, a squirt gun, a nerf gun or even a gun shaped stick. Regardless of whether or not the gun is real, the fluffy will go into an intense state of fight or flight, inform the holder of the object that it isn’t a toy, and kindly and firmly (yet fearfully) request that they put it away.
—
- Ferals make do:
Domestic fluffies tend to have a much higher standard for what amount of filth is acceptable to maintain a quality standard of living. If a domestic foal has feces on their rear end, they will beg for cleaning and their mother will provide after every bowel or bladder movement, while a feral foal will only make such a request after their fluff has begun to matt and cake with dried feces.
—
- Gen 2 fuzzies:
After the infamous fall of Cleveland, all generation 1 fuzzies were rounded up and eliminated. A eastern European biolab purchase the rights and reworked fuzzies into a brilliant form of fluffy pest control, where the client would hire the company to deploy a small herd of them in a fluffy populated area for guaranteed extermination.
Notable Gen 2 traits:
Gen 2 fuzzies run their herd in a hive structure, where every stallion is a son to the matriarch.
Although Gen 2 fuzzies are more genetically related to xxls than they are to actual fluffies, a female fuzzy can collect the sperm of a fluffy stallion and repurpose it into creating more fuzzy foals, discarding the majority of the doner’s genetic materials and resulting in 100% pure fuzzy offspring.
All fuzzy females are born with savvy fluffy disorder (SFD), which causes them to have a higher intelligence like a smarty and exhibit all of the primary traits that the three lower male castes carry.
Savvies are always born with the albino mutation, resulting in even whiter fluff and ruby red irises, as opposed to the duller white fluff and ice blue eyes of the males.
Fuzzy castes:
Savvy: much like a smarty and acts as the matriarch, leader and mother of the herd. There are only two in a herd at any given time. One to lead, and one other to replace her when she dies.
Seeker: much like a finder, they are dedicated to the swift act of hunting fluffies and lowering them into organized traps and to also seek food for the herd. They serve as a worker drone for the herd.
brute: much like a toughy, brutes are exceptionally large and strong, serving as both the savvy’s guard and a soldier in the hive structure.
Infiltrator: the infiltrator is the third basic caste and unlike the others that exhibit little to no personality, infiltrators can expertly mimic fluffy behavior down to the t. Main purpose of infiltrators is to gain access into herds and tear them down from within. And in an instance in which there are no longer fluffies in the vicinity, infiltrators will turn their attention towards human homes and attempt to infiltrate the domicile and then kill whatever domestic fluffies are in its sight.
As I create more head-canon I will add to this topic.
