Nick Wilde | Zootopia

IC question: So Nick, how incorrect was that fanfiction about you and Judy?

Because we know the ooc answer.

[thethinzooline]

Not inaccurate at all. Judy and I have a torrid affair going on behind the scenes. Obviously. It's not like male and female mammals can just be friends, right? Physically impossible. Against the very laws of nature.

[Rolls his eyes.]

For the record, I skipped all the saucy parts and even if I hadn't I would not be touching on the accuracy of that. As for everything else, the only part it got right was my sparkling wit. The rest was complete nonsense.

I will say this: it had a surprisingly good sense of pacing, though. Alongside the romance, it was a rousing adventure tale, full of suspense and drama. If the author filed off the serial numbers, picked different names and species for the character, and made it something other than a gross invasion of our privacy, they'd actually have a pretty good story.

But writing it as original story instead of fixating on our personal lives might require the author the become the type of person that goes outdoors. Where the grass and the big, yellow, burn-ey light in the sky are. Which is unlikely.

Check your sun-having privilege.

Some of us live underground and orbit red suns.

[thethinzooline]

Pardon me.

I meant that they'd have to go to a place that is not the small enclosed space they live in, where they might have actual sentient contact with other people, either still underground or in the outside world.

Better?

excuse you, some of us are from colu and we don't need to leave our houses to socialize

[thethinzooline]

If you're anything like the Coluans I've met so far? Yes. Yes, you do.

IC Question:

How do you feel about species stereotypes being the same in this world and yours?

And how's it feel to look at it and realize, for the most part, that they're true?

Re: Nick Wilde | Zootopia

[thethinzooline]

You know, I was actually going to answer the first part? But then you had to go and ruin it.

[The stereotypes are the same. Sly foxes, untrustworthy and full of mischief. To say they're actually true is...well. It's what he left behind back home.]

You know, one thing I really appreciate about the humans I've met? Five fingers on their paws -- sorry, hands. It's hands, right? [He holds up his four-fingered paws.] Apparently, they do this fantastic gesture with the middle one that almost makes me wish I didn't have only four.

[There are other hostile gestures people do in his world, like baring their teeth, but he's never been a fan because of the hostility. The irreverent -- yet non-aggressive -- nature of of flipping the bird appeals to him.]

Because you can't have a middle finger when there are only four. [He wiggles his fingers.] There's no middle to stick up.

Anyway, imagine I have five fingers and that one on each paw is doing that.

You've got two fingers, you can do the V-sign.

Re: Nick Wilde | Zootopia

[thethinzooline]

Is that one somewhere? [He does that one, with just the right amount of oomph.] Most of our non-verbal insults back home involve somebody showing teeth.

Re: Nick Wilde | Zootopia

Well. Fingers facing outwards means 'peace'.

Fingers turned inwards is a bit more vulgar and punkish than the ol' middle finger.

Re: Nick Wilde | Zootopia

[thethinzooline]

Good to know.

IC:

Don't you get hot wearing clothes on top of fur?

Re: Nick Wilde | Zootopia

[thethinzooline]

And humans never get hot when they go outside, right?

That's what air conditioning is for. On the other end of things, I don't have to bundle up to stay warm when humans probably do.

Re: Nick Wilde | Zootopia

[whyarewehere]

Are we cool, or nah?

Re: Nick Wilde | Zootopia

[thethinzooline]

[Thinks about it for a moment.]

[Then he makes a 50/50 gesture with his paw.]

Judy and Rocket have bigger tempers than me. I'll keep them from walloping you if they ever want to do it again. But you better stop it with the "shifty" stuff for me, the "cute" stuff for Judy, and basically everything with Rocket.

[Pause.]

If you keep doing it, I'm used to it. I won't necessarily come after you, I just won't talk to you anymore. So either we can be, dare I say it, actually friendly, and I'll even watch that stupid cartoon with you -- or we can just be colleagues that don't talk to each other outside of missions.

All up to you, pal.
