Short Stories: Extra Scratch
🕑 Added 2025-03-23 17:31:10 +0000 UTCI've been clawing lately to draw more CRUSHED ICE, both current musical misadventures and blasts from the past. But to keep the tunes flowing we're gonna need roadies, those unsung heroes of harmony. We salute you!
If you're just now joining us, wow, hello! Icy (the bear) is an aging rocker who bangs the drums and originated CRUSHED ICE. She also runs a gym called Roughnecks, where these young ladies work. Eloisa (the burro) is a muscular straight girl with a heart of gold who is raising her younger sister alongside their uncle (he's not a jerk, I think he just forgets to eat). The albino frog, Daylily, is the butch trans daughter of one of Icy's friends. Daylily will be taking over the role of randy little upstart from Autumn, as that's not the direction my wife wanted for the latter character.

Wait'll she meets the actual silver fox on lead vocals! And hecky yes, more Icy for the fans!

Oh Daylily is a mood. Can't say I wouldn't feel the same if a silver fox older woman offered me sweet sweet untaxed legal tender! In all seriousness I adore Icy and it's ALWAYS a treat to see her 💕

I can hope I will get there! And as for Day, she'll probably spend her extra scratch on more tattoos.

Funny queer frogs? I've got them in spades!

It's just one more service we provide!

I say that you will get there. You are the only pet owner who will take on pets with special needs who normally would simply just get put to sleep.

I feel that, though

Yes indeed! Daylily is an albino clawed frog, one of those little weirdos who float around close to the gravel in /fish/ tanks. And double indeed, if my wife creates a character for use in WwF, and I insist I get final say because it's my comic, guess who ACTUALLY gets the last word?

Icy was a very early fursona of mine, pre-FA. Kitty, her wife, is basically just MY wife. Icy's incarnation in WwF is an illustration of where I think I COULD be at her age, if things go well for me. Read: self sufficient, a respectable member of the community, and a champion for homeless pets. That's all I really want.

'Not a jerk, just forgets to eat' Finally. I feel seen.

Great punchline!

You have no idea how much I needed this laugh. :D :D :D

Even tax-free earnings weren't enough to put phones back on the table.

Seconded!

I need 100 milligrams of that freaky little frog lady STAT. She reminds me of those frogs you can buy at toy stores that live underwater. Also glad I’m not the only one who’s powerless against their partner making changes to their story, sometimes I’ll come to them with an idea and they’re like nope that character wouldn’t do that. And they’re always right!

I'm becoming a bit of a Icy stan, but I think because Icy is another part of your ID and you already know i'm a shamless you stan. Icy knows how to appeal to people. Hard, unforgiving work? Make it worth their while in cash. Eloisa will almost certainly spend it on the family and Daylily ... I don't know, but it will be creative, i'm sure.

And immediately Daylily is a fan fav.
