Loons. Evil birds. Stopped traffic yesterday so they could cross the road, busy busy GTA (Vaughan Mills), honking people. I've also been chased, because I got too close.

I vote aggro smob bears attracted to the scent of mudsex.

I dunno if we want our denizens wandering all the way to the fulcruxes.

We hiked along without care. Then we ran into a bear. He was a hairy bear, he was a scary bear. We beat a hasty retreat from his lair.

And described him with adjectives.

Alligators. The Lake needs to be filled with maneating alligators.

And oil. And surrounded by torches.

Bear's secret attack? Cannon ball.

Roiling, alligator-filled wall of flame!

We have the epic quest, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, alligator (or croc, whatever ) is the natural competitor of lion after all.

(they both lose to the zerg, naturally)

Bandrui drowns people sometimes. We should really find more excuses to use her.

Okay, I'm so in. Honeyguard ho!

PS: public snuggling had better be punishable by being completely covered in honey and stinging ants.

Also, I think this topic needs to be pinned, as it contains all necessary RP for Ackleberry.

You know that this is all speculation right?

While there is a chance that we might be on the right track, Estarra could also be chucking right now at how wrong we all are.

...I made a reference to the Hundred Acre Wood. How is that necessary?


EDIT FOR THE LULZ: Great Spirit Christopher Robin should totally replace Spirit Lake.

I was kidding...

There's always been the unspoken fear that Ackleberry will become snuggle central - like early Serenwilde, but on an epic scale. From day one, Ackleberry admirers have went with an exaggerated, hyper-masculine representation of the commune, specifically to avoid this. Now the myth's kinda seeped into our minds as fact, and everybody thinks Furrikin are little furry atom bombs. I can't say I disapprove.

Marshes.

You want marshes.

eeeh, that's sounding more like a mugwump place tbh.

Have you ever seen a northern marsh? We have some really pretty ones out by me. It basically looks like woods, but when its rainy the water comes up and its like a forest growing up in the middle of a lake.

It would feel really fitting to Lake.. but not sure how well I could see it meshing with furrikin and tae'dae.

I will be incredibly dissapointed if Ackleberry turns out anything like the Glomdoring, after all, they went away to avoid that. I don't much like the idea of not being able to do all the silly things furrikin are supposed to do, it'd seem like a culture revolving around self-repression, though I'm not terribly big on the idea of a culture that revolves around hugging and laughing.

I can imagine Brother Bear being stern and a bit grumpy, but I can't imagine him not being supportive and re-assuring.
I can imagine Sister Lake/River/Waterfall being all about change and 'going with the flow', but I just can't see her as being either aggressive (she is Lake, not Seething Bog of Torment) or submissive (she did, after all, defend Night from the inflamed Sun).

It'd be a shame to leave the riverdancer thing, it sounds so much better than lakedancer, and has, to me at least, an implication of movement far greater than 'lakedancer'.

In short, I <3 Ackleberry, please don't Taint it or kill it with posturing for the semblance of masculinity in an adorable, furrikin form.
