my thoughts on catdave

[11:43:52 PM] 8ird: i like bunbert
[11:43:54 PM] 8ird: but i hate
[11:43:57 PM] 8ird: cat dave
[11:44:18 PM] 8ird: cats are ROSE and ROXY'S thematic animals
[11:44:22 PM] 8ird: Dave has CROWS
[11:44:37 PM] Johnbutt: that's true :0 i didnt think about it that way
[11:45:20 PM] 8ird: its really aggravating when someone is drawing all the kids with animal parts you have have rose as a cat, jade as a dog, john as a bunny, and dave... as a cat. like rose.
[11:45:32 PM] Johnbutt: yeah, that's true
[11:45:39 PM] 8ird: are birds just not KAWAII UGUUUUU enough for them????
[11:45:39 PM] Johnbutt: i guess its cause birds are more awkward, but..
[11:45:41 PM] 8ird: well fuck 'em
[11:45:47 PM] 8ird: birds dont like those artists either
[11:45:49 PM] Johnbutt: they could do something cute
[11:45:54 PM] 8ird: 8ird shits on their cars
[11:45:54 PM] Johnbutt: like with lots of feathers
[11:45:59 PM] Johnbutt: 0 30
[11:46:43 PM] 8ird: people only think birds are more "awkward" or "less cute" because people are stupidly conditioned that only fur, paws, and big goo goo eyes can be cute
[11:47:28 PM] 8ird: and im just irritated at the lack of creativity when people just randomly make dave a cat when hes NEVER been associated with cats EVER, and you have two PERFECTLY good cat-associated characters
[11:47:35 PM] Johnbutt: mhmm
[11:47:44 PM] 8ird: its like, why bother keeping John with HIS thematic animal(rabbits) and then not bother doing the same for dave??
[11:48:02 PM] 8ird: fucking dumb and it aggravates the FUCK out of me
[11:48:10 PM] 8ird: plus it perpetuates the idea that birds cant be cute :(
[11:48:21 PM] Johnbutt: blaaaargh
[11:48:22 PM] Johnbutt: Johnbutt hugs!
[11:48:28 PM] Johnbutt: they could just make him plump and feathery
[11:48:34 PM] 8ird: i just really like biiiiiiirds ;A;
[11:48:34 PM] Johnbutt: i like the neckfeathers
[11:48:38 PM] Johnbutt: 0 30
[11:48:42 PM] Johnbutt: so cozy looking
[11:48:50 PM] 8ird: blogs like askdavechick are a perfect example of how birds are cute
[11:48:56 PM] Johnbutt: i guess maybe its also because
[11:48:59 PM] Johnbutt: birds dont have ears? maybe
[11:49:04 PM] Johnbutt: since the ears always seem like a big focus
[11:49:11 PM] Johnbutt: ... he could have wings on his head...
[11:49:15 PM] Johnbutt: mutant bird dave.
[11:49:24 PM] 8ird: you dont need to have expressive ears though
[11:49:27 PM] 8ird: thats lazy
[11:49:44 PM] 8ird: instead of going for other methods of expressing emotions through body language
[11:49:58 PM] 8ird: its just pure laziness
[11:50:10 PM] 8ird: "i cant figure out how to body language properly so lets just put CAT EARS on it!"
[11:50:26 PM] 8ird: plan b: wagging tails
[11:50:45 PM] Johnbutt: mhmm
[11:50:59 PM] 8ird: this is why you have so many animals in movies that are NOT dogs or cats that act like dogs or cats, like dinosaurs and dragons and stuff in animated films
[11:51:58 PM] 8ird: examples i can name off the top of my head of this example of body-language laziness: the T-Rex skeleton from Night at the Museum, the t-rex from Meet the Robinsons, the ankylosaur from Dinosaur
[11:52:11 PM] 8ird: its usually dinos
[11:53:02 PM] 8ird: we have a big whole WORLD full of so many different creatures, each with its own unique set of body language, itd just be NICE if people did something other than "omg kitty ears and/or waggly puppy tail"
[11:53:18 PM] 8ird: plus i really like birds D:>
