I animated a fake theme song for my ridiculous bunny concept! Fuwa Fuwa Foof, a show about a sweet little bunny who used to be a vicious gang leader. Her old accomplices Giri Giri and Kiri Kiri constantly try to lure her back to a life of debauchery while Foof struggles to resist the good ol’ days of punching in some teeth. This is just for fun, it’s not a real show haha! Song is ‘Chu Chu Lovely’ by Maximum the Hormone

You’re conveniently ignoring the homeless veterans who need a way to escape poverty? What’s wrong with you?
Everyone criticizes the poor for wanting to live, but no one criticizes the rich for wanting everything.
First they came for the scientists…
And the National Parks Services said, “lol, no” and went rogue and we were all like, “I was not expecting the park rangers to lead the resistance, none of the dystopian novels I read prepared me for this but cool.”

Teen Vogue said, “I’ve got a pen!”
