Vulpine beauty.

Ooooh, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that burn.

"I suppose you think Adam West is really Batman too?"

Pssssh Batman's really Kevin Conroy, lady!

_{Love her pissed off expression.}

Yeah, if Red's reality is grounded in the film noir/pulp era, Fanny is very much in age of "Mad Men"

Know that feel.

Everyone thinks Sam is a bimbo supermodel, but she's so smart she had free rides to any university she wanted.

She only didn't do it because modeling pays more than being a theoretical physicist or something :p

People forget vixens are still foxes.

They don't call us cunning for nothing!

Dont forget the furry sterotype for foxes though within the furry community.

I'm scared to ask, but go on...

I kind of thought it would be the other way around, when thinking of a fox people would think of a vixen, in the same way other species are stereotyped genderwise. There's all sorts of weird connotations around that word though.

I originally wrote, "When thinking of fox people". I'm going to bed...

That...is going to be such a dry book

Bravo

Love how you do foxes

Now listen here Missy, I'll not have you talk flippant of the Mayor of Quohog like that.

They're all Batman -- and not. There's an entire team creating the illusion that there's only one Batman and that he's effectively immortal.

Adam West seems to think so.

Hey, my Vixen GF has two Master's degrees -- from a very prestigious university. She can play bimbo any time she wants to!

(giggles) A good point. I'm glad to see such females are brighter than they appear.

The thing I love about allusion to context by people who think everybody's supposed to magically know who they are and can self-reference an internal frisson of verbotive smackdown in a potentially condescending response like this is that the insult means absolutely nothing to person being address if they don't know what the hell the context is in the first place.

 JenoraFeuer taught me that about writing convincing and appropriately self-aware superhero and villain combat dialogue a very long time ago, which I Marvelled at thoroughly.

So yeah, cute boobvixen with a book and reputed student of letters other than D-Cup, I'm happy for you: but who the hell are you anyway and why should I care? Going to tell me or do I continue to bear reference the pin-up you play on TV?

The idea was something period correct that most people would get, and still hopefully make sense to a modern audience.

Yeah, that's fair. And my tone did come off more than a little unpleasantly, I apologize for that as well; however, I was also addressing the minding that somehow a big shit actor would ascerbically tease that 'they're not Adam West because they played Batman', like some kind of humblebrag about being a much better actor but riding on the coattails of the OG filmed Batman actor...well, that kind of says she rather did want to fudge around and deserved to find out.

Words have weight and meaning and you don't have to be famous nor orders of expotential enhancile strength more powerful in muscle or weightpress, mass heavier or size far bigger to hurt someone with them, and that someone doesn't have to be terribly vulnerable to ruin the view they have of their own hero of any kind. And that hero isn't always going to know how much damage they've done to a student or the respect an admirer had- even someone they love can be injured, not because the tether is so terribly weak but that it itself becomes the core step-up amplifier for the professed disruption and end detonation.

Love is just another mask that the power behind hate or fear can put on, the set purpose and not even the intent the chief variable. It's why some people get really upset when they're told it's just a joke, and I'm not saying that about you or your present drawing or the story it tells. We've been friends and as fellow artists and craftworkers more than long enough that I don't think you yourself would deliberately be of a mind or act to be so personally unkind in that way, and I'm very glad that I trust in both your kindness and mutual respect, within reasonable bounds of relation.

I'm just saying that the present drawing and the character's personal narrative rubbed me the wrong way- not you, but the tale the drawing told- in a very specific disturbance of frisson- and that's why I responded at all. Not an unkindness to you, but as valid a response as I could give to the period era joke, not directed personally at you.

If I did come across that way, Richard, I deeply apologize; it was not meant as a shot at you.

And really, if nobody takes you seriously because of your looks, can you blame her for being a little testy?

You've also managed to completely misinterpret what's going on. She's snarking about someone's inability to separate the character from the player. Adam West played Batman, but he's not actually Batman, just like the brainless bimbo Fannie played is not who she actually is, and maybe she was just a little tired of people treating her like that.

No, you're entirely right. And I think I dig the context now; it's something that a lot of actors have to fight with, that as much as they enjoy taking the part of a character they've helped define, it can become to other people who see them only as the character their bodies and appearance embodies as that character, that they're defined more by their role and physical format and appearance than by the person they are within, their personality and emotional meteings. And I can imagine it brings upon a body who experiences this, layered on over time, a terrible resentment of their purpose and even their internal meeting to identity when it comes to other people, who recognized them as the role and not the person.

That you are treated more as a medium and vehicle for your physical state, not as the self-aware person inside you that operates that body. I imagine saiboygu like Pi and Dolf go through that too, a genera of doubt and disassociation but because their synthetic combat chassis resemble their pre-sleeving meat bodies but are not the ones they were born or decanted with. And those cyberbodies can do things that a nonenhancile furson can't, adding to the need for suspension of disbelief as to what they are or are not.
