Re-Branding Old Product
9 years ago
<=>-<=>-<=>
So I'm coming up on seventeen years of being in the fandom. And for a while now it's felt like things have been in a sort of stagnant phase, where nothing really seems to feel correct and that the person I thought I was here really isn't what I am. A few days ago I put out a feeler journal about what you happened to like/dislike about the rabbit Palmedo. It turns out that one of the things people seemed to agree on was the tattooing. Like it was too much and too busy. I think I've been forced to agree on that issue. So, effective immediately all tattooing has been removed from the rabbit. Besides, people seem to feel that fur tattoos are a severe disconnect from the authenticity of being a furred individual, i.e. 'How does one actually ink fur and how does it not get messed up?' That's a fair question.
The second part to re-branding is the piercings. I have none in real life and therefore feel that they're not a proper representation of myself as an individual coming through my fursonification. So, effective immediately all piercings shall be removed from the rabbit.
However, there's another mechanic that's been scrutinized by individuals, and especially my boyfriend,
roger. The blue color. Despite my better efforts to prove to folks that blue tinted lapines exist, Argente de Champagne, there seems to be the sense from others that I'm falsifying information. So, effective immediately, the blue coloration shall be going away.
This leads to one final character flaw. As an individual, you should be able to properly speak to the form you reside in. It should be a testament to your physical standards in real life. Personified through my own real physical shape, a rabbit does not fit. I'm an not lean and fit, nor do I have muscles that make me look impressive. I'm an a heavy, overweight individual. When met in real life, I do not show the personable traits that happen to make me a viable rabbit. So, effective immediately, the rabbit shall no longer be in existence. Instead he shall be taken up by another heavy-set animal, known for it's rotundness. That shall be a Great Panda.
Unfortunately, this leads to the final conflict with a re-brand. The Name. Palmedo exists as a thought, an ideal, something I wanted to strive towards when I first created him seventeen years ago. He's gone through a number of tweaks over the years to be more in line with what I wanted my fursonification to be. However, my own personal self has never strived to follow this ideal, so the name 'Palmedo' is no longer suitable. So, effective immediately, 'Palmedo' shall be retired. I've yet to come up with a new name as I feel I need a bit of soul searching. So, temporarily, you may all call me 'The Compendium'. Does that fit me as an individual? Not yet, but I feel it's something I can better strive for, towards, until I figure out what my true name shall be.
I appreciate everything you've all done for me and I hope to be a better individual for you all in the following year.
TLDR: Probably April Fools.
