Re: 2023/03/03 - It’s Fine

Eh, still not satisfied/pleased with it, but as a plot device to relatively quickly shift gears from winding, involved fantasy plotlines to returning to Housepets' roots in slice-of-life silliness and retellings of cult classic media with brown sandwich bag hats, I suppose this kind of deus ex machi...

Re: 2023/02/24 - Do Not Adjust Your Dial

This is Housepets!, where the premise at the end of the day is always "funny animals". I feel extremely confident in saying that the consequences are going to be at "shenanigans" level rather than "world and or life ending" level, so with that in mind, yeah, sometimes ...

Re: 2023/02/21 - Your New Reality

Ah. I'm in agreement with the others that I'm not a fan of "they stay animals but they're inexplicably fine with it" as a resolution, but I'd also say that this seems to be just a part of it rather than the whole shebang. If I had to guess, I'd suspect this is teeing up the compromise that...

Re: 2023/01/20- In Safe Paws

Now I'm intrigued as well. I'm curious how this shakes out, and kind of hope that there's a nuanced, multifaceted solution. 'Cause, like, I see where Marion is coming from, but also city of hundreds of thousands of formerly human animals that have no say in this (EDIT TO ADD: well, assuming Kitsune ...

Re: 2023/01/17 - The Pbbts Have It

The Milton son and Mr Steward used the chance to tomb raid the pyramid. That's NOT his fault. To be honest, I think this would still partially be his fault. Keene was reckless in the setup of his scheme, which allowed for Thomas to reach the treasure and get one of the cursed coins out. IIRC Keene ...

Re: 2023/01/17 - The Pbbts Have It

I'm also thinking about the whole city turned to animals, and what Kitsune said earlier. I'm kind of hoping Tarot's words (the "force of nature" stuff) got to him. I was feeling hopeful for Keene after his Heaven trip, resigning his office and moving to BG... Not feeling so good about him ...

I'll put this comment here so as to not spread it among other threads where it hasn't come up.

Re: 2014/03/10 - Bedtime Snack

As cute as it is, I still really see King and Lionheart Bailey's relationship ending pretty poorly. I used to be in the small contingent of folks who hoped King would change back -- now, I'm kind of torn between both. I'm kind of dreading Pete's reveal. It's like one of those comedy or rom-com movie...
