A for Absolutely Fabulous!

The Roost.

I drew this when the update announcement came out and I imagined it like this! I heard you guys like Animal Crossing art, so here you have!

Octavia smiling at Stolas in this year's Pride Month merch gives me hope that they'll patch things.

St. Peter: *sees the new Gay Pride merch* Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! ….You’re straight?!

Abel: Yeah.

St. Peter: *eyes him up and down* You’re not straight.

Abel: What, you think just we’re friends that means I’m gay? So every person who stands within 20 feet of you is automatically gay?

St. Peter: *blinks twice in confusion* I suppose I’ve never considered it before. But I mean, you don’t have a… *immediately stops talking*

Abel: A what?

St. Peter: A…A straight…voice?

Abel: *astonished* Oh, a straight voice? And what, pray tell, is a “straight voice” to you? What do straight people sound like? Can you do an impression of a straight voice? You know what? Let me get a chair. *goes to grabs random chair* Let me get a freaking chair because hoo boy, do I gotta hear this. I gotta sit down for this because hoo boy, is this gonna be good! So let’s hear it. Let’s hear what you think straight people sound like.

St. Peter: …I’d like to rescind my comment.

Abel: What was that?

The movie also has a very optimistic worldview and promotes restorative justice over punitive justice. Killing the mayor would not save the glades, because a new mayor would simply continue to build the freeway anyway. They had to make the mayor care, to see things from an animal's point of view. Heck, Mabel even outright states that everyone has good inside them.

And also, it shows us the banality of evil. Mayor Jerry isn't some cackling supervillain who actively hates animals. The sonic trees are awful, yes. But also, he's just Some Guy. He loves his mom, sings and dances by himself, eats pancakes, etc. He mostly cares about getting good PR.

Titus shows us what happens when extremism pretends to be progressive but is ultimately self-serving. He didn't care about the other animals. He waited for his mom to die, he even called her old and weak. He wanted insects to reign supreme over all other animals. His anger at the humans was righteous, but really, he only cared about himself.

P.S : HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!

Bonus : which pride flag did you get when you liked this post???
