IDK if I'll ever actually have the time or patience to make BearBones into an actual show ever, but I figured I've made enough comics about these guys w/o explaining what their deal is, so here's a big olll' pitch bible + ongoing lore thread I'll add to from time to time!!
(1/?)
I rly miss the era where referencing niche internet stuff was like a novel thing instead of something basically every cartoon since Gumball has done because it attracts twitter millenials who are the easiest crowd to get free publicity from as long as you do that sort of thing
you gotta understand being a kid back when this premiered in the summer of 2010 and getting jumpscared by the show you followed religiously referencing "those things from the internet you swore no one old enough to make cartoons would know" was stunlocking
@gowonmode goddd i thought i was the only one who went through this shit, i cant even count how many times my friends would get so bored of me theyd either ditch me to talk amongst themselves or facetime other ppl while i was still there and i was like damn i really am just set dressing huh
@KOTzWORKA@bentolate I mean I guess its all relative, especially in an industry where the norm is very tall and thin women, but to me plus sized would be like someone who's bmi is in the overweight margin, not someone who's weight is of an average proportion to their height rather than underweight.
@Wulfums yo i dont think we've ever talked or anything but im genuinely sorry ur goin thru that and im proud of you for seeking help, i hope it goes well and you get your drive back cos whenever twt's shoddy algorithm actually lets ur art show up on my feed it always makes me smile : )
its been 13 years and im still thinking about the time i wrote a mlp fic where i mentioned twilight being on antidepressants and a man thrice my age wrote a fucking novel sized review about how i was "awful at worldbuilding" because i didnt explain how horses could invent SSRIs
@BAEMONSHANK the trolls are absolutely to blame for a lot of it but i also think that an equal amount of blame should be given to her parents because a lot of the stuff that ended up being exacerbated and exploited by the trolls started with them
also i was tired as hell when i drew this so soz for this being probably the sloppiest thing ive ever posted tbh, rest assured my willowbylings better art SHALL be coming soon 🙏🙏🙏
