ohohohoHOHOHO so virgil is still the same masochist sub he was as chakra huh >:) also what’s that sound effect in that last panel? Is that a Hyena Noise? What does it mean? does it mean Horny or Submission or something else? :0

Morghann Patterson

Oh Virgil buddy this cannot be healthy. (Not the masochism but more so getting that on with Mr cop ‘baby girl I’m so sorry I fetishized you in return can you call me degrading things which is totally not doing it again I swear’

lopoddity

Hyenas make a whooping-cackle sound when they’re feeling any strong emotion or sensation (excitement, fear, hunger, aggression), or in Fuzzbutts’ case, when they’re turned on. Virgil is excited and making stupid happy hyena noises involuntarily.

lopoddity

Sunny’s trying his best! It’s not his fault his best is the worst! 🥺 edit: oh, he actually isn’t trying to get any gratification when he tells Virgil to fetishize him. Sunny just thinks that if Virgil gives Sunny a taste of his own medicine, then they’ll be “square”, or “even”, like two kids resolving a slap fight on the playground. It’s stupid logic, not sexual.

Morghann Patterson

Kind of hilarious, absolutely cannot wait to see where this shit goes. Sunny really is a blonde golden retriever boyfriend at the end of the day

Morghann Patterson

Also wait a goddamn minute I just went back and you specifically said ‘dangerous addictions’ with Sunny. I see you. I know what you’ve GOT. Did Sunny have to get his code red in a bit of cheese

Solnexux

oh my GOD I LOVE THIS, i find this reworking so good because i canr imagine how it must feel for virg to experience some other feeling than being constantly assumed as dangerous. finally being treated like “prey” must be inanely liberating in a way he’s never experienced, but i feel as though it could have some dire consequences for sunny lowkey 😭 bc going from masochist to sadist is an INSANE personal change and can also change how someone perceives themselves so ig i’m wondering how will this effect sunny’s perception of himself long term? i know he experiences some sort of accident or occupational malpractice that drives him out cop life and into his (recycling??) waste collection job!! are these two things correlated? or is that incident separate? so excited to see what’s next omg!

PrincessMuffinArt

Ohhhh. THERES the freaky side of Virgil starting to blossom! And he prefers to be biten than do the biting himself. 😏

Rheanna

That last one is sending me oh my god 😂 the hyena noises make it even better

knickknacks

Oh... oh, Virgil... oh Something about him having been perceived as a "big scary monster" for so long and then being interested in. being hurt, being the small and vulnerable one. I feel like Virg being into that is deeeefinitely a symptom of/way to push back on the way he is most commonly perceived.. but I'm not quite sure if I should feel happy or sad for him, or a mix of both. Glad because maybe it's liberating for him in a way, but sad also because of just. What he has to deal with on a daily basis, but then also is it. an entirely healthy coping mechanism? And how will it change their relationship dynamic. gah, so much food for thought!

Oof. Might be reading this wrong but it’s something I’ve dealt with before. Someone makes you feel uncomfortable and they ‘apologise’ but how they word it makes it seem like you should be the one comforting them. The excessive crying, the self depreciation, the quick switch in behaviour when given a bit of leeway. I don’t doubt that Sunny is being sincere but, I mean, it’s not right. Idk if that was your intention obviously but either way it’s excellent

lopoddity

Oh Sunny is definitely not doing great with this apology. This is because he's immature and has yet to learn emotional regulation skills, and compounding this, he is. A Dog. In FB, dogs are typecast as "everybody's best friend". They're meant to be friendly and helpful and always nice! Sunny is used to everybody liking him, or at least tolerating his antics. So abruptly being told that he has done a Very Bad Thing, that he has UPSET Virgil- well, it's agony for him. He's a dog that's been scolded, a bad dog! How can he make this right?? You can see him (desperately) trying out several strategies here. He apologizes outright, but Virgil's flat response just makes him feel worse, Virg is still upset, he knows it! He invites Virgil to fetishize HIM, thinking maybe if the "score" is settled, Virgil will not be upset anymore. He tries puppy dog eyes, submissive body language. When Virgil smiles at him a little, he instantly shifts gears and becomes playful. It's not that Sunny doesn't care about/doesn't feel genuinely apologetic for acting creepy toward Virgil (it's why when Virgil says it's fine that Sunny assumed he's a monster because everybody else does, Sunny insists "It’s not, Virgil!"). He cares, he does! But he's more concerned with immediately fixing the situation than reflecting on it. He is making his feelings Virgil's problem because he cannot bear to sit with them for a moment, or give Virgil room to be upset at him. It's kinda pure dumb luck this discussion didn't end up worsening their relationship.

*oprah winfrey voice* YOU need therapy! and YOU need therapy! and YOU need therapy!

lopoddity

I'm so glad you like it! And you're right on the money, it IS liberating to Virgil. Sunny has entirely flipped the script on him, Virgil is shuddering in the bite panel because it was so overwhelming to him he practically crashed and rebooted. Besides Virgil being physically into the bite, he finds it thrilling that Sunny would trust him enough to do that (and not assume that Virgil, a giant carnivore, would violently retaliate against Sunny biting a vulnerable part of him). It did make Virgil feel small, but it also made him feel...normal. Not a monster, just a person. It's intoxicating, and it's why he's got that big grin in the last panel. Sunny surprised him, and he wants more of it.

I’m about to leave a long ass comment because I LOVE everything about this and have SO many thoughts omfg To start off, despite me being asexual (very little interest in sex for myself but I’m not against it) I have almost an autistic fixation with bdsm etiquette and relationships. Not so much the sex of it but the feelings in it? Like in a good bdsm relationship, the amount of trust and communication you must have with your partner. To let yourself be vulnerable or be trusted with your partners vulnerability. How for some it is just a kink to explore a relationship with your partner, for others a way to explore and heal from personal trauma and the like. For Virgil here, it could truly be a very healing and and cathartic experience. Being a person who is viewed by most society as a big monster. Feared or fetishized for his size, claws, teeth, and have so much projected on him just for hid species and looks. Something his own boyfriend did! So to be able to twist that and be looked at differently, to be seen as vulnerable and small and weak, to be perceived as prey for once rather than a predator, it truly could be a good experience for him. BDSM definitely does not have to be just a fetus or kink, a way to get off, as media tries to portray. This could truly be a great way for Virgil to explore his trauma and heal, but it should be in a safe way. And I’m not sure Sunny atm the moment can do that for him unfortunately. Media has hurt and twisted a lot of how bdsm is received. How it’s about aggression and pain and has made top/bottom and dom/sub dynamics interchangeable rather than just partners doing what feels good between them. Again how it should be about trust and communication before anything else. It should be between partners who truly trust and communicate with each other. Safe words, limits, talking about the scene before hand, check ins etc- I have a feeling these two are going to just jump into it all and that can lead to some… not so good things. I hope the best for these boys. Sunny I feel is deeply earnest here and wants to make his boyfriend feel better, but he’s definitely not looking deeper into why he hurt Virgil and why what he did was wrong beyond knowing it did upset his boyfriend. He’s trying too hard to fix it right away rather than reflecting and letting it breathe. And Virgil being used to seen that way, and this potentially being his first relationship and first time feeling desired and wanted is quick to brush it aside and let it go, not wanting to really sit in his valid hurt. This isn’t going to end well for these boys. I hope they can find healing soon. I know in the current time line Virg is working with Gio and I think Angel still? I don’t know how Angel is going is going to be involved with Virgil and his journey here, if it will be a relationship like their Chakra and Noct counterparts (some of my absolute favorite characters from your pony days) or if they will be more friends and possibly a found family since Angel and Carmen still have a rough relationship atm. I’m so fucking excited to see all these characters explored. I’m so ready for Virgil’s journey, and his healing- whether that’s through a relationship of true love and caring, a found family, or even him just learning to love and accept himself. You have a brilliant way of writing these characters and worlds, I can’t tell you how excited I am to see every update from you. This is becoming a monster of a comment so I’ll end it here, but there is truly so much I can say about your characters and relationships and world building and it would still never feel like I was getting all of my thoughts out. Thanks again for these characters, they mean so much to me and to other people 💜

lopoddity

Thank you! :D I absolutely loved reading your analysis, and I love love love getting long comments! 💕Getting to hear y'alls thoughts is half the reason I make art! I'm so glad you look forward to when I post! <3 To answer your question, yes, present day Virgil does indeed work for Gio, he's Gio's right-hand-man. Angel doesn't technically work for Gio, but he does owe him a debt, so Gio tasked him with mentoring Virgil. I will be exploring their relationship in depth later, as well as a bajillion other character relationships (Gio & Virgil, Virgil & his mom, Virgil & Savannah, Savannah and her dad, Savanah and HER mom....) oy, so many characters, so much to do! Although I changed Virgil's personality, I'm hoping to retain what made his original dynamic with Nocturnus/Angel so much fun.

lopoddity

Patreon ate half my comment. :/ But yes, present day Virgil does work for Gio, and through him, has met Angel.

Ren

I think it’s fair to say my autistic brain has latched into your series and created a fixation that brings me so much joy. Combining my love of animals and good anthro designs and brilliant story telling I am well enraptured with this world. I’m so excited to see everyone explored! Particularly Virg and Angel as Chakra and Noct as they were definitely my honest favorites of the pandoraverse. And also especially Virgil and Savannah knowing due to his new work had a falling out (which I’m sure with Virgil’s trauma and issues with his mom really fucked him up making him oh so more malleable for Gio) can’t wait to see his path from here!!! I am hyped for every character and post, I may have my definite favorites that I look most forward to but I love every thing you post honestly. As I said before I’m a sucker for world building and character connections and your universe is just… it’s so fucking perfect for me personally. I’ve been following your work for years. Ps. Is there a way to know when your commissions are open? I’d love one of my platypus fursona if you still open commissions once and awhile.

lopoddity

I am SO flattered, thank you! <3 Sadly I am not currently open for commissions, between my full time job and needing to make art for patreon I just can't swing it, time-wise. Your platypus fursona sounds cute, I hope you can find an artist to do them justice!

Corinne Stephenson

I have a very sinking suspicion that these clueless idiots are going to take this physical shift in their relationship too far. Sunny is.... probably going to seriously hurt Virgil. He'll either bring him to the hospital and deal with the social/professional repercussions there, or worse... just leave and call the emergency in from the safety of his car.

lopoddity

This ain't Bojack Horseman. ;P The problems in their relationship and personalities run far deeper than liking it a little rough in the bedroom. This scene here is just the teeny tip of the iceberg!

Morghann Patterson

Oh man! I hope we can get some Virgil and Primrose hang out times someday in the future, I always liked chakra and hers interactions

lopoddity

Patreon keeps cutting off my comments! I'm not open for commissions right now, but thanks for the interest! Your fursona sounds so cute!

Scyllarus

Hoooo boy. Assuming that their relationship is where Code Red was born, I have to wonder who it was who brought it in. Did Sunny go, "Babe! I heard from this totally reputable source that this stuff makes people more...aggressive 😉" and then Virgil got fascinated with it? Did Virgil get into a rabbit hole of research on how to...enhance their experience together and tell Sunny, who then helped find a source via his job? I'm also just sad for Virgil here. Seeing your comment that he's just "wow someone trusted that I wouldn't retaliate and murder them" reminds me a little of my own relationship. It's hard to get to be vulnerable if you're a big masculine person - it seems people are either afraid of you, or they want you to protect/lead them. Virgil wants neither (and in fact seems to want the opposite), and his difficulty with social interactions makes it worse. It's also going to be interesting to see his interactions with Angel, who has probably fought someone Virgil's size and won. I don't really see them getting romantic - Angel seems like he would also be too old and tired to deal with that drama - but who knows? I'm excited to see how that plays out - and if Primrose and Carmen ever meet Virgil.

lopoddity

Yeah....I need to do a big story dump on Savannah and Virgil's experience growing up in foster care. The world was not at all kind to two neurodivergent hyena children living in poverty, part of the reason they pack-bonded as siblings was pure survival instinct. It takes a long time for Virgil to open up around Sunny because he simply doesn't understand why this dog is being nice to him (I know we've mostly seen Sunny just being an insensitive idiot to Virgil, but pls believe me when I say he was earnest and sweet too). Like....what's Sunny's angle? Why isn't he afraid? ...Is he stupid? (Yes). Virgil isn't stupid, he knows people don't want to spend time around him unless it's transactional. This probably made it sting pretty bad when he discovered Sunny's attraction to him was partly based on Sunny projecting his bloodthirsty dom fantasy onto him. :/ But ultimately Sunny will prove warm and loving and always around to pester Virgil about his day and ramble about his own, and wake Virgil up to how starved he's been for meaningful connection, and how long he's gone without a space to be vulnerable. How nice it feels to be trusted, rather than seen as a shifty predator or a hulking beast. To show his more excitable side without being made fun of or mocked or avoided. Sunny becomes very important to Virgil very quickly.

Sunny: babygirl I am about to radically alter your idea of what a healthy relationship supposed to look like

Ren

Sorry to comment on the same post again- but just a question? I noticed here Virgil uses Sunny’s previous name Mason (is it a dead name? I know Sunny mostly uses Sunny once she realizes she’s gender-fluid and comes out. Is Sunny still comfortable with their old name or is it something they feel dysphoria with?) Did Sunny choose his name later on? I know she discovers her gender while dating Sky but were they already going by Sunny before he started dating Sky? Or did they choose the name later on?

lopoddity

No need to apologize! :3 Sunny doesn't have a deadname. Mason is his birthname, but his family and friends have always called him Sunny! Virgil calls him Mason because that's how Sunny introduced himself ("Hi! I'm Officer Mason Fletcher"), and Virgil is somewhat stiff and formal at the start of the relationship. It takes him a while to loosen up and start calling him Sunny, and even so it's mostly during soft private moments. Sunny doesn't quite feel gender dysphoria, but rather gender euphoria. She sometimes goes by the name Madison because it makes her really happy. She chooses it later in her life, sometime into her relationship with Skye. She has no problem with still being called Mason, though she insists her friends call her Sunny. Sunny is short for both Madison and Mason, Sunny has times where he does wish to be regarded as specifically male or female, but oftentimes he takes an either-or approach.

Buddy: Son how can ya date a darned hyena? Haven't ya seen the size of him? Just last week I read a story on Foxxbook about a secret hyena cult stealing bones from a morgue!! Aren't you scared he's gonna....you know, EAT you??? Sunny, muttering: I mean technically he already has Buddy: What? Sunny: I SAID stop believing everything you read on the internet DAD

Ren

Awesome! Thanks for the clarification! Gender and presentation is so fascinating. I’m nonbinary for example, I get the most euphoria androgyny and some days by being my masc. Presenting Fem gives me a lot of dysphoria currently. But at the same time, if I ever do get top surgery and voice training to lower my voice, I might like the idea of playing with femininity again once my physical body presents more androgynous/masc. Like skirts and make up etc. Trans is beautiful and every person has such a unique experience. Your trans characters mean a lot to me, and I think you’ve taken such care and done an amazing job with your trans characters. 🌈✨

lopoddity

Thank you! 💕 And isn't it though? I think there's something downright divine about the act of transforming one's body to reflect your true self. I understand what you mean about wanting to explore feminity on more andro/masc terms. I also identify as nonbinary. I'm lucky enough to not feel gender dysphoria, I mostly just feel ehhhh discomfort? And have always. There are changes I'd like to make to my body, there's a version of myself that lives quietly in my head that I'd like to be someday. I'm regrettably not in a place I can explore this yet, but I do use my characters as a means of expressing myself.

ForcedPacifist

Sorry for the wall but Virgil reminds me of someone I feel the need to share. I knew this gorgeous, genius autistic-medic once with a heart so pure that it wasn't. All of his life nothing was ever enough for anyone, his mother, step father, partners all downplayed everything he was to the point that he believed it and became nothing. He lost everything he ever had trying to do the right thing, a scholarship and HS graduation for turning in a security flaw he found while hacking. He quit his medic position when rumors swirled about a really bad dude that died but shouldn't have under his care. His pacifism stemmed from knowing all too well exactly what his hands were truly capable of. All he ever wanted was to be known and loved, but people are quick to judge in this world and that was exceedingly hard for him, a sad trichotomy of easily misconstrued beauty, a black and white view of right and wrong, and unimaginable abuse. He was fun though, a wickedly dark sense of humor, a long list of kinks he had picked up throughout his life, and easy to manipulate people pleasing tendencies. He also always just did his best, donating his time and money, helping those in need even when he couldn't. I saw him for what he was and loved him for his flaws, they made him him. Whenever he was going a little too hard in the paint I would tell him "nobody likes a pacifist" and just that small amount of "encouragement" was enough to make him get his first tattoo. He was probably the most twisted person I had ever met, but it was obviously something forced upon him, a little bit of love and the pain would wash away revealing a once in a lifetime masterpiece that few ever really saw. A real human with more love than he knew what to do with. He wanted to run away with me, but my Mormon upbringing would never allow for me to reciprocate those feelings, so instead I isolated and gave my life away to fentanyl. I worry for him just like I worry for Virgil, but then again, Ted Kaczynski could not have become Ted kaczynski without heartbreak. Some people are meant to live alone in the woods, completely incompatible with society's demands, and it won't surprise me when both Virgil, and my friend, simply disappear. The song playing through my head is Heading South by Zach Bryan. I love you and I miss you Drew, fuck Moroni, fuck Mormonism, and never forget, nobody likes a pacifist. Thank you for your comic Lop, it meant more to me than you will ever know.

Sorry for commenting on an older post, but I wanted to mention that I'm very excited to see this storyline particularly told in a proper 18+ setting. I remember you saying it felt too dark/silly for a MLP AU, but the "Stormy flips his shit" arc has always been pretty near and dear to me, and I'm excited for (a version of) it without the restrictions of a public or sfw platform :]
