PEARLIE IS BACK OH MY GODDDD 💕💕💕 I've always wanted a giant pet moth Bruce is so real for that

blackjack .

PEARLIE CAME HOME!!!! seeing little pandoraverse sprinkles in fuzzbutts is such a rewarding treat! like yes.... the lore that's lived in my head for the past 9ish years is relevant again.... very satisfying. obsessed with nancy as well, that is a good girl

Seeing Pearlie in a new form is so fun!! And Nancy’s little blurb made me laugh out loud ^^ I love the dimension this adds to the worldbuilding. Are there any other cast members you think might have pets? Or are Nancy and Pearlie the only ones you’ve thought of so far?

Scyllarus

Also - what are peoples' thoughts about insect products? Aphids naturally poop out sugar water, bees make honey, honeypot ants...well, store sugar, I guess. But with big bugs I assume there's a possibility of byproducts. I imagine that exoskeletons aren't used to make tools anymore, but like...what do people do with shed exoskeletons? What about things like moth fluff or tarantula hairs? Plus, a lot of bugs are capable of producing unusual chemicals. Bombardier beetles come to mind, but there's a ton of other examples (ie, the cyanide millipede I mentioned earlier). Do people do anything with this? Or is it more something to avoid?

Scyllarus

Okay but please have my "cool ideas for pet bugs" dump: Tortoise beetles - most look like they're wearing glass shells, some are gloriously metallic under those transparent shells. I believe most are herbivores, and Wikipedia says a couple of taxa care for their larvae! Ambush bugs - part of the assassin bug family, but act like mantises in their hunting style Trilobite beetles - the ladies get enormous and look like beetle dragons, the dudes are just lil beetles Whip scorpions/vinegaroons - nightmare fuel outside, sweet baby inside Dragon millipedes - cool spiny dudes who produce hydrogen cyanide when startled! I can't imagine how this goes wrong, ever Crab spider - cool spiny babies And other crustaceans - Hermit crabs and coconut crabs! But also things like vampire crabs do well on land and are surprisingly agile?

PEARLIE!! It’s been years omg.. tho i have to admit Nancy might be my favorite. Little murderous bug

Lopoddity

I'm noooooot sure yet

Sunny kicking rolled-up Nancy around like a hackeysack: haha, she loves it! :D Narrator: Nancy did not love it

Corinne Stephenson

Oh no. Isopods curl up into balls. Sunny is a goofy dog..... I see the origin of Nancy's hatred unfold.

YEASSSSSSSSSSS BUGSSSSSSSSSSS I'M CHEERING SO LOUD AND CLAPPING AND CRYING BUGSSSSSSSSSS THANK YOUUUUUUUUU

Have fish puppies been scrapped 👀 or are they another option?

Kate S

I LOVE these two and think the insect pets are super cute (and more grounded than the past fish concept). However as someone who studies fish I do hope we still see some silly walking fish as pets! OR the teleosts could be fully sentient as well like the sharks. I need a problamatic trout character with religious trauma, stat! :)

Omg Pearlie returns!

Lopoddity

Bruce feeds her a healthy whole-grain kibble, but Pearlie will be naughty sometimes and sip on exposed sodas and eat dryer lint

Lopoddity

XD Bruce has to do that to keep her from eating fully grown Pearlie. Mimi wishes he wouldn't flaunt his delectable crunchable munchable gushy-innard filled pet in her face

MiyaTheGoldenFlower

The soda thing is such a good comparation theme! Like how even now sodas are a "normal not privilege people thing" in my country usually coca cola is use for people with high fever, ginger ale when feeling nauseous, and there's even more cheaper sodas that are more "trashy", yet have much much less sugar and sodium, even there's some cleaning hacks that use coca cola, that thing does wonders for cleaning a toilet. Heck! Even food, even if in my country we have a lot of fish in the market in general, is expensive because the restaurant saw how people like soooo yet business as usual, rich people like it and "poor people food became rich people thing to eat every day". Before they even give you the fish eggs as a extra when buying fish 😅

I wish I could have a pet giant isopod. Not sure where I’d get the whale carcass to feed it but I’d make it work. Insects are supposedly a lot smarter than we give them credit for…I believe it.

Lopoddity

Thank you! <3 Tried out something a bit different with my lines!

pitviperofdoom

Assuming Pearlie doesn't work like real-world silk moths and does have mouth parts and a digestive system, what does Pearlie eat?

Sync

Okay but… but… cat energy vs roomba energy… Pearlie sitting on Nancy while she scurries around the house

MissMele

As an OG Pandoraverse nerd I see what you did and I appreciate!

Is there social media discourse over whether owning an insectoid pet is "problematic" or not? The first paragraph makes me imagine an argument that owning an insect pet is a signifier of the -borsquois- -bourgousie- -borguoise- upper class, the response that it's actually a highly humane alternative to the comparatively monstrous act of eating them, etc..... or is this not really an issue in the FB world?

Pearlie: *trying to cuddle Nancy* Nancy: HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR YOU AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

omg Pearlie!!! im so glad she wasnt scrapped from the mlp remnants ;v; also her design is ADORABLE god moths are S tier insects

Lopoddity

Fish are pets for underwater folk, but I think I'm doing away with them being able to walk on land. Not sure if they'll keep their silly stubby limbs.

Corinne Stephenson

As an entomology nerd, this makes my heart so warm and happy. I bet Bruce had to slap Mimi away with a rolled up magazine to keep her from eating Pearlie as an egg. "THIS IS NOT YOUR LUNCH, MIRIAM!"

Millions of Bees

Pearlie is adorable, I kind of want to cuddle her. I’m kind of afraid of a lot of moths in real life, but I have always thought those really fluffy looking moths (like Rosy Maple Moths) are pretty cute.

MiyaTheGoldenFlower

This is sooo cute and very cool! It remains me to this animations of animals facts that is like a comedy slice life shorts with animal-human intellect, and in one short, one of the characters have a bee as pet and it was giving the bee a walking in the park. Honestly I don't think I could live in a word with gigantic insects as pet, I'm even terrified of butterflies 😅. Also that fact about meat is so interesting, it reminds me of how somethings are considered "trashy" just if poor/middle class people do it, like for example this "recycling trent" how reusing and saving materials is now "cool and new" and when I seee those videos I'm like "We latinos have been doing this since forever, not because is popular because shitty country situation teaches you to be smart with limited resources, never waste anything and save money"

Love the way you colored the lineart for these ^^ Good visual hierarchy yk

Poodle moths!! The apex of adorable creatures and redeemers of insects world wide! Close second is bumble bee, chubby lil fellas 🥰

forthehonor-ofgayskull

I have a lot of bugs I like but isopods are a favorite of mine. Glad to see them making an appearance in FB! I love Pearlie's design too. It's so pretty.

Tibbles Yorkie789

Lmao I was JUST doing some bug research of my own for my own furry universe. Found out some moths can mimic other animals (tho mainly other moths) so I like to think they’re like parrots and can mimic vague language

Emily Lemur

AAAAHHHH I LOVE all of this world building and creature design! Reminds me of how soda was considered a special occasion beverage but is now mass marketed and over consumed by most. I hope we get to see more pets! I wonder if a certain funeral directing hyena lady has a pet tarantula…?

WAr

Pearlie is so pretty 😍. I’m jealous of Bruce now. I know once upon a time you dabbled in the idea of using fish as pets. Is that no longer canon or are they also types of pets in the fuzzbutt world?
