› FORUM › THE LOUNGE › If your bunny were an Animangus, what would it say to you?
Jerseygirl had a great idea that I can’t seem to paste here yet. Anyway, it’s if your bunny could turn into a human, like humans who turn into animals in Harry Potter (they are called Animangus) what would s/he say to you?
Here’s how I picture Spockie, ie. JS Spock: I’m walking down Atlantic Ave. and I see a stately older gentleman sitting at a table at a sidewalk cafe. He’s wearing a soft, Mr. Rogers type sweater, and has salt & pepper grey and white hair. A bit jowly with kind eyes. Beckons me to sit with him, orders carrot juice for both of us and says, “Lovely to see you. I wanted to say, do you remember that guy that used to visit us a couple of years ago? Well, I didn’t want to say anything at the time because I know how besotted you get when you’re smitten, but he really wasn’t right for you. I was so relieved when he stopped coming over. And I loved the move to FL. It was the perfect place to retire. Thank you for taking me to that vet – she was a real cutie!”
Samantha would be a bouncy tween wearing white shorts, two grey pigtails with platinum blonde streaks and heavy eyeliner, who hopped over to our table and said “Guys?Did they come over?Did they bring carrots?Treats?I love treats!Let’s go to the beach!I’m so tired-If you want me I’ll be flopped out on the sand.Bring Carrots when you come OK?”
What would yours do?
LOL!! Wow your good!!
Ok, not as good at this imagination thingy but: I’d guess Rupert would be a pudgy young boy, the kind always picked last for the sports team in gym. Very timid and shy. Kahlua would probably be the class tramp, putting on makeup in school instead of paying attention, cutting class and getting into trouble. Chuck would be the sweet old man who is not quite lost while wandering around, but not quite sure where he’s going. ![]()
lol! this is great.
Max is the smart, kinda shy boy from school who turns out to be a millionaire later in life and marries a drop-dead gorgeous super-model…
the drop-dead gorgeous super-model is… well, i’m sure you can figure that out. she is beautiful AND smart (an odd combo?) she knows she’s beautiful, and her personality suffers for it sometimes. she can be moody, but deep down she is a real sweetheart to her friends and loved ones. the kinda gal who you want to keep on your good side at all times, a great friend and an awful enemy.
not sure what they’d SAY, i’m not as creative as you Pam… but i think i’ve got their personalities down.
Nova would be the queenie personality on the outside who always got what she wanted, but it was never enough. She would always be dressed in the latest fashions, but with her own unique flare to them. Inside she’d be insecure, and not trusting of most people because to many expectations were put on her in her early life. She would love animals and children though, because she could trust them. Also, she would secretly be a ninja that works for the FBI. I can’t be certain, but I think she might be a rabbit ninja anyways.
She wouldn’t ever have to actually say anything. It’s like now, she just looks at me with that “look” in her eye and I do what she wants.
I think of my three bunnies as one would when thinking up a great anime for the nation of Japan to enjoy. They usually have magical characteristics and are probably sent here to teach stupid me some profound object lesson or other. (has just watched The Cat returns with my daughter in the last few days)
But if they were human…hm…
Pip, I think, would be as hard to pin down as the enigmatic Mrs. Who in A Wrinkle in Time by Madelaine L’Engle. One of those little old ladies who wears big round glasses, knitted shawls, soggy wellies and talks in constant riddles but who holds great, magical powers. Oh, and likes to eat tuna salad sandwiches with mugs of frothy cocoa on stormy nights.
Mimzy would be the sarcastic straight man of my three bunny stooges. You know the look; the half hooded eyes that speak “Garfield” in the loudest possible terms. Or perhaps he’d be something like Jiji from Kiki’s Delivery Service. Or Salem from Sabrina the Teen-age Witch.
Fiver would have an energy level much like Samantha’s…if anyone here saw the Iron Giant when they were kids (or in front of their own kids) you can remember the boy who was the central character and how he acted after the junk man gave him the cup of coffee and he went off talking about how much he hated school and how frustrated he was by his mom keeping him overprotected and how annoying growing up was, etc., etc. Caffeine high. Those two words sum up my little mini-rex to a “t”.
Charlie would be a laid back kind of guy, in his early 30s probably. He wouldn’t be the brightest guy but he’d be well read (he loves newspapers). We’d meet at a yuppie cafe, he’d be reading the paper and eating a salad & banan smoothie for lunch, taking time out of his white-collar job and he’d say “Dont worry any more, slow down and enjoy life, you are always too busy.” He’d look at me like he’d just said something incredibly profound and I’d smile (laughing internally) at him and ask him how Layla is.
Layla would be in her late teens or early twenties. She’d always dress a bit fancy and would take really long showers and spend forever getting ready. She likes her men a little older & more sensible. I meet her walking along in the city centre. She’s window shopping in her high heels and well tailored clothes. She’d have a sad look to her, she had a bad childhood and wears the scars in her blue eyes. She’s a bit too skinny.
“Cassi, do you like that colour for me?”
“Oh no, I think autumn colours suit you best”
The conversation never goes deeper than that. To go deeper she’d have to trust me and Layla learnt early on that she should never trust any one. Even her lover, Charlie, occasionally beats her but she always forgives him because she’s never been loved before and doesn’t know how it’s meant to go. I smile at her with love, she could be my greatest friend if she would only let me in. We walk away together, discussing her new haircut.
These are great! Very insightful.
Keep em coming. ![]()
You are all really good at this. It’s very odd but I don’t think I can Humanise Jersey this much. I just want her to remain my bunny! I may have to think on it to find the perfect human equivalent of her. I do know she would be a Child, still dependant on me, living with me. This would suit my care giver tendencies. She would be a Child with all the innocence, beauty and wisdom they so often have.
Edit to add: Oh and how could I forget, the attitude they can so often have!![]()
Edit to add2: Didn’t address the “what would they say to you?” part…
I’m thinking it would go something like the Weebl and Bob – Pie video Pam!![]()
I can probably give my buns a human personality but I don’t know if I can come up with what they would say to me.
Carrera is 6 yrs old now-so she would be “middle aged” and she acts like it! Completely set in her ways, ruler of the house and the other buns! She usually sits back and watches all the comotion but if someone misbehaves she lets them know!
Pookie is about 4yrs old and still my little Pookie Bear. She would definitely be a diva-keeping up with all the current trends to keep herself looking young (bunny botox anyone?!)
Cooper & Hoopie both are only about 2yrs so they are babies compared to the girlz. Cooper would be the cute kid, kinda dumb but has the looks so that no one cares if he is a little..slow. lol Hooper (Hoopie) is definitely a metrosexual bunny- even my vet thinks so! He spends ALL his time grooming. Drives us crazy! You touch him, he grooms, you feed him, he grooms…..so hilarious! He would be perfectly in shape with the perfect hair, perfect clothes and sweet as can be!
Oh, C&C! Poor Layla! Now I’m mad at Charlie for being mean to her, poor girl!
LOL!!
Binkles would be the haughty aristocratic middle-aged shapely woman, the kind to always be wearing decorative hats and carrying a parasol. Perhaps spectacles on the end of a stick. For some reason, I see her in a little purple frilly dress, hat matching, and silken gloves draped from the side of an overly-small purse.
Little-Bit is the sheltered, innocent tweenager who is completely unaware of the world. She is a total sweetheart, though since she is a tweenager, she occasionally tries to ‘act out,’ giving herself a sense of rebellion and attempting to divert attention away from her impenetrable sweetness. In reality though, these boughts of mischief are only small discrepancies, akin to a child stealing a cookie from a cookie jar.
Poor Layla, Cassi your breaking my heart!
Kay would be a lovely elegant Southern Lady. She already has the accent! She would wear hats with big brims and flowers on them. She is sweet an excellent conversationalist that draws people in. But don’t be fooled, she is the matriarch and keeps her family in line! She would tell me that she is very proud of what good care I take of my family. But, that I should work on my art more and spend less time on the Internet!
Kay’s much younger, and very handsome, husband (a total scandal), Winston, uses humor to cover up the fact that he is very shy. He completely adores Kay and married her for love – not her money, as many believe. He is smart, clever and quite dapper, but mostly Kay loves how much he makes her laugh. Winston and I have a wonderful time discussing food and wine and laughing together.
OMG – bunny botox & a metrosexual. Oh Hedi, you have your hands full!
Hahaha, Sage_Cat that, I think, fits Kay & Winton exactly, based on the picture you’ve built up of them! They certainly are classy bunnies.
lol Sage Cat- you know its really bad when your VET suggests that your male bun is a metrosexual! LOL And she is so right- he grooms so much he has small bare spots on his feet. Hes grooming right now–maybe because most of him is white? I dont know but I think if he had a mirror in his cage he would never leave. lol
