I have.
Earthtone is my aesthetic, and the browns have the best chance of survival and thus are most worthy of propagating.
I’m all for the inclusion of the epilogue in this story.
Me when the body decides to make 4 inch wide plop.
My own headcanon is that fluffies are classed as biotoys and this is generally accepted as true because so much of what fluffies do is programmed in so at best they are viewed as dolls made of flesh with organic computers making them talk. This is pushed by the Hasbro corporation, which in my headcannon has influence equivalent to the Wayland-Yutani corporation, to near propaganda levels.
In a lot of ways they are similar to the replicants in the bladerunner searies
Why do you make arguments that disregard the headcannon of the comic/story at hand? The humans ignoring Baby’s cries for help clearly place this story in a “fluffies are seen as biotoys and have no rights” headcannon. In which case they would be simply be breaking some stranger’s property (car window) to protect another piece of the stranger’s property (the fluffies). If I saw a theoretical heat sensitive laptop in the back of someone’s car, I wouldn’t take it upon myself to to break their window to save the laptop. Maybe that person would rather replace the laptop rather than a their car window.
I realize you’re really passionate about your headcannon, but it’s kinda dumb to bring your rules into someone else’s story or comic to “win” a debate.
tl;dr: Imma gonna start barging to hugbox with “yeah fluffies are sentient and sapient and can feel pain and emotions yadda yadda yadda. But in MY headcannon I don’t give a shit so let’s torture these loving, sentient pets!”
You argued that the point of it being immoral to not save them is irrelevant because they couldn’t break the window to save them.
I rebutted that with how people can legally break your window if they so much as think there could be something inside, and do not have to pay for it. I also added that in many places there is likely some form of protections, and nothing in this comic says there is not.
You ignored the legality point to simply dismiss me of raw Hugbox arguing.
Agreed. At the end of the day it’s all based on one’s own headcanon. If in this particular story the Biotoy spiel is going on, there is no reason to bash the writer or the story itself for that (though one can dislike such a trope, like myself). The one thing one could criticize about the guys ignoring Baby is them being heartless/jaded/selfish (or just blatantly ignoring the fact fluffies talk, breathe, bleed and die unlike other toys but do so because it makes it easier for them to not feel guilty about it) regardless of laws, but that’s pretty much it. At the end of the day, as I pointed out in regards to this trope, it doesn’t matter if law protects or not the fluffies. Selfish/cruel people break the law if they want/have to regardless of it prohibiting certain kinds of behaviour.
Also pl0x no don’t ruin the few moments of wholesome I beg u
There is your first problem. Fluffies are illogical so if you attempt to apply reality to them, you will be disappointed.
Fluffies have been around for over a decade. They are biotoys, and that is the lore. You can’t show up and change one of the most critical pieces of the entire lore. You must respect the lore of the Fluffy or you just won’t fit in. Maybe on the Reddit site, but this site is all fluffy, 24/7. They are biotoys, period.
They verified that it wasn’t a child or an animal but a fluffy. At this point it would be immoral to break the window to save it and then claim in poor faith that you thought you were saving a child. That’s destruction of property and lying to the authorities. Yeah you won’t get prosecuted (cuz how are they gonna know you acted in poor faith). But if you’re talking about morality in a headcannon where fluffies are seen as biotoys, then the option you presented is the more immoral and unethical one.
Nothing wrong with that. I rage against rapist stallions all day long (and cannibal, but less so). Especially baby rapists. I think it’s one of the stupidest tropes in the fandom cuz it goes 1000% against fluffies being desirable toys for children and against their programming of “wub an huggies!!!” Though I try to keep my rants to community posts and on-topic posts. Had a bad habit of spamming hellgremlin comic/stories with my “logic bombs”. Definitely wasn’t productive and I just came off as petulant child. Luckily Virgil found a good compromise for enfie babbehs by still allowing them but quarantining them under controversial.
Fluffies are obviously a fictional creature, but most works depict the setting to be a contemporary one with regular humans. Hence, there would be no reason to have such blatant discrepancies between logic processes and scientific evidence. However, I already gave my reasoning and I will respect your decision to like such a trope. Suspension of disbelief and all that.
I wholly respect that. I like more developed fluffies having personalities and flaws as a result of what they went through (enfie-babbehs could be a perversion of the ingrained “wub babbehs” imprint fluffies have for example) but that might not be YOUR cup of tea. One might like both or neither. The important thing for me, is that we share an interest in seeing stuff about fluffies. Even those guys who make up stories about fluffy golems or time travelling ones. @NobodyAtAll cough cough.
(seriously though that whole thing is rad mah boi)
Legit question (and don’t take this as an insult or anything, you just seem new-ish): What is your experience with the fluffy fandom and people’s headcannons?
There are some that are pretty much contemporary with our universe. The only difference being the existence of fluffies. In these headcannons, hugbox is the default because to hate fluffies in such a world would take a monster or a sociopath.
But in many headcannons (mine included), there has been a large divergence from reality. Some have a divergent act (PETA) take place in the past so the present the stories take place in are not our own. My headcannon is a divergent one where the divergent event hasn’t occurred yet and all my stories are comics are set in a potential future. In these headcannons abuse and sadbox are just as valid as hugbox.
Just my two cents.
When I started out, the one thing I knew for sure was “I don’t want to write just another hugbox/abuse story.”
I mean, shit, if you want a story about an average guy getting an average fluffy and hugboxing/abusing the fuck outta it, there’s a million of those.
Plus, I completely agree with you on the fluffy personality thing. I think there can be more to them than just “10 num sketties, 20 play, 30 hug, 40 goto 10”. The fundamentals are still there, but they aren’t all that’s there.
I really like the idea of humans and fluffies fighting together. I like the idea of a fluffy who, when presented with a room full of vampires, doesn’t scream, shit himself, and run away, but instead charges at the bastards.
And actually has a chance of winning that fight. Vampires just don’t see a fluffy with a silver horn coming.
Quite varied I’d say.
@NobodyAtAll and @FallenAngel007 obviously portray WAY different earths (sometimes even going beyond that)
@BFM101, @DeusLibra and @WolfmanRaven are amongst the “more realistic” stuff I’ve recently binged.
Then there’s surely more but these are the ones that pop up in my mind rn.
Surely I have a lot more to read tho!
Which is why I’ve enjoyed discovering yours (and others’) works. It’s not just “fluffy dum dum drowns in bowl”, but I did laugh at one story where one died because he literally cried nonstop and drowned himself by crying. I like varied content is what I’m getting at.
THIS IS SPARTA!!!
Hey, I try to be versatile.
I do hugbox, then I do abuse.
I do a story that’s relatively grounded, then I do a story that’s more out there.
I do a story that focuses on humanoids, then I do a story that focuses on fluffies.
I make an effort to maintain balance.
What do you think about the scalies, by the way? Nice idea or not?
I don’t mind anyone else using those, for the record. Go nuts. Mine are extinct anyway.
Didn’t notice that that wasn’t a reply to my post until it was too late. Whoops.
It made sense. If Adam’s empire had Calvin & co’s tech/magic and more as he said, there would be no reason NOT to delve into creating life AND improving upon it based on the available technology or whatnot.
