 Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 3:56 pm Post subject: Weird Species |
 |
|
| You know what im actually kinda curious: during Mary's first trip to Bonbon, she expressed surprise at the various species she saw there. This actually brought up a question: how are very rare species/hybrids treated. Are they treated as "rare gems" or as outcasts, how would the more common species characters react to the more unique species of the world? |

There aren't any impossible hybrids in the PBB world, like cat/dog hybrids. Nor are there any supernatural species like dragons or such.
We know only a little about how different species are viewed. Some of the characters have preferences regarding species. I believe that Violet prefers horses for example. Other than that, we know that interspecies marriage is frowned upon, and considered a disgrace for the family, as they can't produce an heir.
I can't recall any examples of characters being judged, either positively or negatively, solely on their species. It's an interesting idea, though, and I think it would make sense in the PBB universe.

Yeah, in PBB there are only real life species and no unusual animal hybrids. In PBB my character is a fox but outside of it i am a Folf, a fox/wolf hybrid.

Something related to this, that I like, are stereotypes and characteristics based on the species. Things like bulls being big and strong. Foxes being clever and charismatic. I like that, and would like to see more of it in PBB. Especially the big, brutish species 
I used it when creating my own fursona. Constance is tall and athletic, which are characteristics I associate with equines.

I created Todoxas with a bit of cleverness and charisma. As well as generosity, kindness, shyness, imagination, and creativity. If you'd like to know more about him, just look for him in the custom avatar request list 5 and the Fursona's thread.

I believe Mary was more shocked at there being a green fox and a blue fox as well as a skunkette with a reverse fur pattern. I'm only aware of Xebulon being the only hybrid(he's a brown/Kodiak bear mix).

I thought it had something to do with her living such a sheltered life. I assumed that she had mostly been seeing felines in her daily life, but I really don't know much about the different servants that may be working at the Blue manor.

| oh wow, that makes since it would be frowned upon given the time period their in, so thats understandable. but this also raises a few questions: such as would it be acceptable if the setting was in the modern period we live in today and have some possible married or had relationships in secret because they didnt care about who they were with[/img] |

I guessed that Mary has some type of education so she would know what a fox is unfortunately Mendel's discovery of hereditary genes wouldn't really come into play for another 5 years so a green furred fox would be a weird species.

He is? I just thought he was a brown bear or a grizzly. |
It's written on his avatar on pg.3 of the 4 Aces sweet.

It might be more accepted in a late 20th early 21st century period.

In modern day, it would probably be more acceptable to not have children.
I imagine that the attitude towards interspecies relationships is probably more relaxed in the town on Bon Bon, than in the rest of the PBB world. However, we haven't seen any married interspecies couples.

That is true. perhaps Vanessa will give us an interspecies couple later in PBB or something.

(( Soulblader,
I'm glad I read your name twice... else that would have been downright embarrassing.
Anyway, I'm not sure Cat-Vanessa needs to do that. She already has so many characters, that... in some fashion she's painted herself into a corner. How does she be fair to the existing cast, while introducing new couples? It isn't a bad idea, and Light, I've seen enough other interspecies comics and illustrations that it isnt far fetched. I just think Cat-Vanessa has a good cast and an interesting dynamic of interactions and events that it would be unneeded.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. )) |

If you're referring to the sex scenes with some of the Royals, no. The girls featured are non-canon to begin with and the other times the members ended up with dates to the castle or simply had sex outside the castle prior to the ball. The inter-species sex is actually welcome in the town for various reasons such as revenue.

And what about those times when Violet hooked up with Drake and Johnathan?

You have to keep in mind that Violet's sexual fantasy involves Pegasus and unicorns. So having sex with Drake would be the closet thing to her fantasy. As for Jonathan, having one or two dates isn't what I consider a relationship. And for a fun fact that I had to re-read, Lily and Randy are an inter-species couple.
