Exodimensional Hoofbun Flopsy - Art by CatmonkShiro ( FurAffinity Profile )

What happens when a mage on Terra decides to create an entirely new class of golem? Meet Flopsy, the first ever “Living Construct”, something that can think rationally and solve problems in order to carry out orders much more reliably! No longer will your Construct walk through a crate because you forgot to tell it to walk around! No longer will you send it to the store with the command, “Pick up a cured ham, and if they have eggs, get twelve” and have it come back with twelve hams because they had eggs! A new revolution, and it comes in this wonderfully soft rabbit/horse hybrid form, or any combination of creatures the customer wants! …If only the wizard Adraykon could actually get a second prototype to successfully awaken. When the problem of the Storms is getting worse, and the funding for Living Construct research is drying up, he turns his attention to understanding the Storms and finding a way to protect people. But his “Living Construct” got the attention of the Sightless Third Eye, a cult that believes magic shouldn’t be in the hands of mortals, and is willing to murder mages because of it. When Flopsy’s Master is murdered right as he managed to stabilize a Storm into a portal between Terra and an unknown place, the experiment implodes and sends poor Flopsy through the window of an office building in Lapine Falls, Colorado. By day, she takes on a (mostly) human form, working at a crystal shop in the mall, but by night, she fights crime as the local cryptid/superhero the internet calls “The Superbunny”! Now she must grapple with questions like “What do I do now, without orders from my Master?” and “What is the purpose of life if I can’t Serve?” and “Why is this world strangely familiar? Why do I know what a ‘car’ is? Why do people call that playful tune I hum when I stack boxes ‘Tetris Music’?” and “Friends are telling me to be an independent person. How do I be a ‘person’? Or ‘independent’?”

Explores themes of learning how to be yourself, while being a double reverse isekai exploration of Earth through the eyes of a hoofbun capable of lifting 1600 pounds over her head, and also making peace with a strongly-imprinted core belief of “I have to be useful to be liked/tolerated/allowed to exist” and finding a way to live life regardless. Superhero comic book in the form of a novel series, inspired more by Spider-Man than Superman, with a touch of “not taking itself too seriously” (The title is meant to evoke that sort of wild “anime character intro splash screen” feeling), but can still be pretty heavy on the feelings. Violence is usually minimal, as Flopsy has been raised on the law that "A Construct Cannot Kill a Human”, but when she’s forced to in order to save the life of her best friend… It shatters everything she’s ever known about herself and her life, and even months later, she’s still struggling to cope with things. Though the therapy is helping.
