I think all that really needs to be said about why I drew this is this bit from Discord regarding the picture's genesis and an "Initially I misclicked and kept it for the lulz" song that's on Gobo's RP playlist.

You know, I think I see why the animated show smoothed out the shag on their tails. Every time I do fluff-spikes I forget how annoying it is to color every single one, and every time I wind up cursing my past self.
