his silly rabbit <33

So! Since Techno’s origin is a rabbit, I thought I’d give y’all some bunny facts because I’ve worked with many different types and have been trained in grooming and care for them!

To get the most annoying one out of the way first…

RABBITS SHOULD NOT EAT FULL CARROTS. This is a common misconception, and I do not know how it got started, but carrots (especially large amounts) are Not Good For Rabbits! It’s like giving a toddler 10 king sized candy bars! It will make them hyper and more feral! There is So Much Sugar!

Now onto the less egregious ones:

1. As a wild rabbit hybrid, he would not have lop ears! If you are drawing him as a domesticated lop, that’s fine. And if you’re drawing lop!techno, his ears would fall straight down. Full bred lops (every variety, from French to Holland) ears are born standing straight up, and around 2-4 weeks flop completely, a processing that is known as Lopping. Some little babies will have Airplane Ears, but fully grown lops have large ears that go straight down and rarely lift up.

2. If you are drawing wild rabbit!techno, keep in mind what climate he is from!!! Wild rabbit’s ear sizes tend to be large, but are not comparable to the body, rather to the climate in which they/the species they are have evolved to live in. The hotter an environment, the bigger the ears! Speaking of, a rabbit’s ears are their main receptacle of heat, which is why they are so veiny and large- they siphon out the heat their furry body cannot handle.

3. If you are wanting to write/draw origins fluff with Techno, here’s a few quick tips! Rabbit’s favorite petting spot is the head, grooming is both an act of affection and dominance (the one grooming is typically more dominant), and the most love you can show a rabbit of any kind is by petting and kissing their ears, because that is the only spot most cannot groom themselves (lops being an exception), so other rabbits have to do it for them. It’s a tedious task for a rabbit, so going out of your way to pet and groom their ears is a very strong act of love. Also, swiping a rabbit across the nose is an easy way to get them to knock off whatever they are doing!

4. Hares! Are! Not! Rabbits! They are lagomorphs, yes, but they are not rabbits! Similarly, jackrabbits are hares! The main difference is that hares are bigger and bonier, with larger hind feet, larger ears, and denser fur. Their torsos are longer, and they are the most equipped of the lagomorph family to handle extreme heat.

5. Bunny noses aren’t like dog or cat noses! They are very sensitive, but also keep twitching at almost all times. Rabbits can sleep with their eyes open, and one of the only ways you can tell if they are truly asleep is by seeing whether or not their nose is still twitching

6. Rabbits cannot swim! 1 of the 30-some variations of cottontail rabbits can swim, but no other breed can. It weighs down their fur, which has 3 layers and really really doesn’t dry without assistance, and leaves them extremely prone to temperature changes, which can be instantly lethal.

7. Binkies! Binkies are when an extremely content and happy rabbit jumps up into the air, spins around mid air, and flips back down. It’s one of the cutest things a rabbit does, and it means they are happy and loved and feel safe with you. Look up videos of this, trust me, it’s fucking adorable.

8. Flopping! Similarly to binkies, when a bunny flops onto their side, it means they are very content and happy and comfortable. It looks like they’re dead at first, but I swear they aren’t.

9. They chew on anything and everything, though I’m sure this one was known already. I will attach a picture below of my rabbit’s absolute madness when I left him alone for half a second.

10 (and finally, unless I think of something else to add later). Rabbits have absolutely terrible eyesight and depth perception! They cannot tell if something close to them or far from them! This results in a severe lack of spatial awareness that results in a lot of knocked over items. It also means sometimes they jump into things instead of onto things.

And I hope this covers things! Below I will, in fact, attach pictures of my baby (and some others I’ve worked closely with) for comparison!

Reblog to point and laugh at him

'“Perhaps a story?” Gandalf suggested, far too innocently. “I believe I have just the tale for such a night as this!”

“I bet you do,” Bilbo muttered from above.

“One about a wolf and a hobbit,” Gandalf continued, either not hearing Bilbo’s annoyance, or just ignoring him entirely. “A member of our very own company, in fact.”'

AO3 is down, which gave me the motivation to actually do something productive! And I've been wanting to draw this scene since I read it. Anyway when AO3 is back up, read Conkers' series!! (Part one is Soldier!)

Do you remember?

Drained Chaos

Based on an idea @mcfanely and I chatted about.

It’s short and another of my “no real idea what the bigger plot is, but this scene popped into the ol’ noggin and wouldn’t leave” dealies.

The fight was going well.

Sonic and crew had been chasing a gang of weasels around the city, after getting a tip they were stealing technology for Eggman. Why Eggman needed other technology when he could just as easily create his own was a question they’d yet to answer, but that was something for another time. They’d cornered the weasels in a warehouse, half-empty with crates of unused goods.

They’d split up, and each focused on one of the Eggman lackeys. Knuckles could hear the whirring of Sonic’s spindashes, and the hard poundings of Amy’s hammer. Tails was overhead, using his altitude to rain destruction down. The kid loved to dish out some well-deserved justice.

Knuckles himself dealt with a particularly brawny weasel, and the two seemed well matched. The echidna did not pull from his chaos reserves, what would have given him access to his full power for his blows, instead electing to keep his strength closer to his opponent’s. He hadn’t had a fight this satisfying in a while.

As the two sparred, trading blows and over-confident quips, something began to pull at Knuckles’ mind. A warning. Something was wrong.

yippee! wahoo!

Hewoo! It's been a while, I wanted to make this back when the start of Doc was having beef with Scar and Grian and it was funny how Ren was just here along the ride.
