So I should post my original fuzzy pic (babbling fluffy and
stoic fuzzy in safe room) today?
I finally created a Derpibooru account, BTW. Turns out it was a
lot less annoying than I anticipated. :)

Yes, I believe it was scheduled for today. Feel free to post
your Maxim Megan picture whenever. Or let it be our private
treasure. Your call.

I'd say wait on the Megan picture until the action is clearly
Cleveland centered, that way nobody questions why it's being
posted on a fluffy site. Or just post it to Derpibooru for now.

Yeah, I hadn't really intended for the Megan one to be publicly
released, more of a treat for the people working on it (and as a
response to the "joking" comment that she was our #1 priority).
Though I suppose it might be fun to release it when it's all
over, as a bookend / extra once people know that this whole
thing was "The fall of Cleveland".
Fuzzy posting underway, currently trying to understand
Derpibooru's WTF tag system and rules.

Mr. Anubis, didn't you say you were thinking of throwing
together an image like a comic book credits page? That might
serve as a nice background. ;)

Way ahead of you, but if Marcus would rather that image stay
private, I have plenty other options.

Fuck yeah, finally done, bit slapdash at parts, and still
uncomfortably close to Vanners story but fuck it I'mma postin
this shit
>Be a Fluffy Pony owner
>…
>Make that a former Fluffy Pony owner
>Your most recent Fluffy, a pink unicorn filly named Giggles,
died this morning
>Found her smothered to death by an oversized Teddy Bear you got
her
>You’ll be sure to toss it before you get your next Fluffy
>Assuming you get another
>You’re really starting to get burned out on Fluffies
>You’re sick of training them not to shit all over the place
>Sick of them breaking your antique vases and expensive
electronics
>Sick of them whining for “sketties” all the time
>Sick of them wanting to “pway” all the time
>And most of all sick of trying to keep the damn things alive
>You’ve spent thousands Fluffy-proofing your house and yard but
it wasn’t enough to keep poor little Giggles alive
>If only they were smarter and less death prone
>it would save you so much heartache and frustration
>That afternoon you met your friend Bill for Lunch
>After sharing your problem with him Bill reveals something top
secret to you
>He and his company are working on developing a new improved
breed of Fluffy
>Smarter, Better, Faster, Stronger
>Our work is never over
>Anyway
>Bill offers to give you one
>They’re out of Beta
>And releasing on time
>But they could use a test run in a less sterile environment
>After lunch you head off to Bill’s lab
>You arrive at the lab
>You are overjoyed by the prospect of a smart well behaved less
death prone Fluffy Pony
>Or rather, Fuzzy Pony
>Bill was rather insistent that this new breed is called “Fuzzy”
>Anything to distance themselves from the mistakes of Fluffy
Ponies you suppose
>Before you know it you are handed a pet carrier
>Strangely there’s no noise coming from it
>Is it empty?
>You look in and are met with the stare of half lidded blue-eyes
surrounded by an all white coat
>There’s a Fluf-er a “Fuzzy” in there alright
>”Awfully quiet aren’t they?” you comment
>”Well that’s part of them being less annoying, they only speak
when spoken to” Bill replies
>You look in again
>”Hey little guy I’m your new Daddy, wanna say hi?” you say
softly
>”Hewwo new daddy.” The Fuzzy pony says, nowhere near as loud or
enthusiastic as his Fluffy predecessors
>He then follows it up with what seems like a very forced smile
>”What did I tell yah, so much more obedient than the old Fluffy
Ponies!” Bill said proudly
>”Yeah… well I better get this guy home” you say
> And so you arrive home
>You place the pet carrier in the safe room and open the door
>Nothing
>You remember each and every one of your previous fluffies would
shoot out of the pet carrier when you brought them home for the
first time
>Well if you can call a faster than usual waddle “shooting” but
I digress
>”Fuzzy why aren’t you coming out?” you ask
>”Daddy no ask Fuzzy to come out” he says
>His voice is very odd
>It’s still very child like, but monotone at the same time
>It’s like how Ben Stein probably talked when he was a toddler
>Kinda Creepy
>”Well now I’m asking, please come on out” you say
>Fuzzy waddles methodically out of the carrier
>He then turns to you and stares up at you
>His huge eyes not filled with the love and happiness like your
past fluffies
>But rather they are cold and empty
>You try to ignore his creepiness and break the ice with a
question
>”So what’s your name little guy?” you ask, a big smile hiding
your growing discomfort
>“Fuzzy haf de-zig-nation Tea-Ach-Ecks-eweven-tuwdy-eigh, Daddy
is wewcome to gif new name”
>THX 1138?
>Facepalm
>Bill was always a Star Wars fan
>Which is all well and good, except he actually likes Episode 3
over Empire!
>No Taste
>Putting the train back on the tracks
>”Alrighty… lets call you Jango” you say Star Wars still on your
mind and this little fuzzy reminds you of the clone troopers
>”Ack-no-ledged, Fuzzy name is Jango” Jango replies, monotone as
ever
>For the next several moments Jango continues to stare at you
with those eyes
>Those increasingly unsettling eyes
>Cold, souless
>Finally to break the tension of his stare you ask
>”So what would you like to do Jango?”
>Typically when asked this question your previous Fluffies would
respond with a cacophony of “PWAY WIF BAWW” “BIL WIT BWOCKS!”
“HAF SKETTIES!” “MAKE POOPIES”
>The Last one of course would result in a mess for you to clean
up along with a sore rump and time in the sorry box for the
offending Fluffy
>However Jango doesn’t shout any of these things
>No instead he only answers your question with a question
>”Wha daddy wan Jango to do?” he asks in a not too loud monotone
>You are somewhat agitated, you find it nice that he cares about
what you want to do (or atleast he’s programmed to) however
you’re not great a making decisions.
>After a moment you do decide on a game of ball
>You tell Jango to stay and leave the room
>You fetch the ol’ shiny red ball from the safe room, no Fluffy
Pony owning experience is complete without one
>When you come back in the living room to find Jango standing in
the exact same spot
>This shit is still fucking creepy
>Like you get the idea of obedience but this is just a bit much
>You figured he’s look around the room or something
>One of your favorite things about getting a new Fluffy was
their curiosity and how they’d “expwowe” their new home
>Well you’ll just have to make the best of it
>”Alright Jango go get it boy!” you say as you roll the ball
past him
>He just sits there
>”Err… what’s the matter Jango?” you ask, never seen a fluffy
resist a ball rolling past them
>”Jango unabwe to cawwy out owdew, daddy no specify wah he mean
by ‘it’” monotone again
>Facepalm with the force of a thousand suns
>They are appearently not that much smarter than Fluffies after
all
>”THE BALL STUPID THE BALL!” you shout
>First 20 minutes of ownership and you’re already yelling at it
>New Record
>”Undastood Daddy” Jango replies as he carefully retrieves the
ball, and slowly nudges it back to your feet
>You kick it away and Jango once again retrieves it, with slow
joyless precision
>While you repeat this a few times you reminisce about your old
fluffies
>And how when they played ball they would run and giggle
>Sometimes they’d trip over their underfluff, but were having
too much fun to complain about “owwies”
>And sometimes they’d “run” after the ball and then completely
forget they were supposed to roll it back to you
>After 5 flawless, cold, calculated, returns from Jango you
realized you didn’t want to play any more
>”Alright Jango how about some Foodies?” you ask trying to be
cheerful as much as this souless creature is rapidly draining
you of cheer
>”Jango wan foodies if daddy wan gif”
>No demands of “Sketties”, No cheers of joy at the prospect of
eating
>This just can’t stand
>Now you know Bill gave you that bag of “Fuzzy Chow” and was
pretty insistent that Jango had to eat it or he would die
>Fucking Jurassic Park style
>But you hatch a scheme
>Perhaps if you satiate the number one desire in the life of
every fluffy
>The desire for “Sketties”
>Just maybe you could get this… Thing to stop acting like a
goddamn robot
>And so you tell Jango to once again, stay
>And Covertly you duck into the kitchen
>You then proceed to make the most delicious spaghetti possible
>You add Garlic, Olive oil, butter, gourmet tomato sauce,
parmesan cheese, you even garnish it with some parsley!
>You return to the living room
>Big steaming plate of Pasta in your hands
>The scent is intoxicating
>You place it before Jango
>AND…
>He just stares at you
>That cold icy fucking stare
>”Go ahead eat it, Sketties!” you say pointing at the delicious
plate of Italian cuisine
>He continues to star and then replies
>”Jango no like sketties, Jango onwy eat de-zig-nated Fuzzy Pony
bwand Fuzzy Food, avaiwabwe fo’ da woo woo pwice of 29.99 at
hasbwo dot biotoys dot com”
>…
>…
>That fucking tears it
>You roughly grab Jango off the ground
>Even in your fit of rage memories surface of your precious pink
fluffy Giggles
>And how when you picked her up she would kick her stubby legs
and shout “YAY FINGEW WIDE!”
>Of course Jango remains silent as you storm out the back door,
clutching him in an angry vice like grip
>You could never bring yourself to hurt a fluffy, not even this
horrid thing
>So you take a short trek into the woods behind your house
>Predictably you find an average sized herd heading east
>They all stop and look at you
>The Smarty friend of course steps forward, cheeks puffed out
and stomping his little hooves
>Just as he opens his mouth to shout some inane threat you shout
>”SHADDUP, I have a new member for your herd, enjoy”
>You roughly toss the Fuzzy into the gathered crowd of fluffies
>”Jango, I order you to follow this fluffy do everything he
tells you, and never come back here” you shout as you point at
the Smarty
>You turn your back on Jango and the heard and go back inside
>Tomorrow you’re gonna get a real fluffy
----------------------------------------------------------------
---
>Be Smarty Friend of herd
>Strange hoomin forcibly added a new member to your herd
>New Fluffy is strange, he’s big and white with blue eyes
>His eyes make you kind of sad for some reason
>But you are Smarty Friend so you stay strong
>You inform your new herd member where you and your kin are
heading
>”We goin to Sketties Wand in Cwewewand!” you say cheerfully
>”Jango no like sketties, Jango onwy eat de-zig-nated Fuzzy Pony
bwand Fuzzy Food, avaiwabwe fo’ da woo woo pwice of 29.99 at
hasbwo dot biotoys dot com” he replies
>You and your herd stare at him for a moment
>”Wut?”
