Quick note when someone says "please don't {insert whatever thing here}" literally do not do it. Just don't. dont be a butt. K? K.


I tag everything of mine with:
"**Note**
No I'm not the fruitgum zebra. Please don't call me that"

"Please dont." <----

I get why its said. More times than a radio station plays an overly played popular song. But what irks me is when I know my sona. I made him. I specifically made him to be different. When/if I respond to a comment saying I look like Yipes! and say "no, I really don't" , dont link an image.dont-Specially on my own submissions. I know what he looks like. I know what I look like. I grew up with that gum. But it is not what my sona /my suit is made after.

"But y'all look the saaammeee!!!!"
yea..no. Yipes! Is an average of 3 colors excluding black and obvious white- red/orange (depending on their ink color output), yellow and sometimes green. sometimes he doesnt even have green.
Where I am literally rainbow. ROYGBIV-remember preschool/kindergarten- Red, Orange, yellow green, blue (light), indigo (darker blue), violet (purple).

Also Yipes! Is a copyrighted character.any replication would be illegal.

And furthermore, Yipes! Is seen doing activities such as handgliding (hoofgliding? Since he doesnt even have hands), soccer, bball, etc.
I'm mostly seen playing video games with mtn dew or snuggling a giant dog.

"You should be flattered to be called fruitstripe! he was my childhood!!"
I probably should be a lot of things, but honestly I find it a bit irking..considering I kindly ask people to not compare me to him. Im not honored, or flattered. And its a quick way to grind my gears if you continuously try to say im just like him. He was part of my childhood as well. I loved that crap when I was little. But again, he wasn't even on my mind when I created Cicero In 2013.

Now this may make me a pissant but hey..think what you will. I honestly do not mind. We all have different views on things and people.im not gonna blow stuff out of proportion like a drama llama. all I ask is the simple request to not say I am Yipes or im just like him. in short, and I repeat,: when someone says please don't {Insert whatever thing here} . Please just do their 1 simple request.
