And so here it is, Part 3. And this time the cat (or rather, the fluffy) is let out of the bag. This story is an alternate retelling of events that preceded @jberg360’s famous Fluffy Runner. However, and as this is an alternate universe, some things will definitely be different.
The idea for this story was also motivated by a fanart that I came across of Jberg’s Blueball. I got the permission from Trefoiler to use this piece of art, but as Trefoiler is a predominantly MLP artist, his take on Blueball is very different from the original. At the same time, I had in my head the idea of a fluffy reporter similar in tone to Hergé’s Tintin. And thus Bluey was born.
Some notes:
- Although Bluey is inspired by @jberg360’s Blueball, he is somewhat of a different character from the original Blueball. I liken the difference to be similar to that between Jonathan Joestar and Johnny Joestar. Or Brave Raideen and Evangelion with Rahxephon.
- Bluey is about the same intelligence as Greg from Mutagen’s Postfluff. However, Blue is unable to speak standard English like Greg, and is limited to typing it out.
- Whisperwind, Zander and Quesada are roughly the same as their original counterparts, save that Whisperwind’s owner was not deceased unlike in the original
- Bit of trivia: the Adventures of Tintin originally started out as a serial publication, and Herge had a practise of ending each page he worked on with a punchline or a big cliffhanger.
One more part of this story remains, and I will most likely get to it… after Halloween. I plan to do a Halloween Avocado story. Hopefully. Whether or not I do it, Part 4 will be after Halloween.
