Bubsy Bobcat Fan Blog

Glad you got a good laugh of this article. I got a good laugh out of your fan theories.

 

Saw your response on your website. Still pretty far out fan theories. I've made my statement on your site, you've made your response to mine. Fair enough.

 

And you even added an updated footnote on your Bubsy brothers and understudies page. Nice!

 

Like I said, that page was where your fan theories lost my support. You present a vision of Bubsy that is radically different and yet Bubsy wearing so much as a different shirt must be someone else? How can you expect acceptance for your vision if you don't accept the vision of others?

 

For completeness I've made reference to your site for Bubsy fans to check out. You got good art, and again, thanks for pointing out the 2nd player mode in the first Bubsy game.

 

Finally, in response to my observations of a haggard appearance:

"Her design is this way to convey that she’s not well-off."

 

I'm sorry to hear that. As one Bubsy fan to another Bubsy fan I hope one day you will be.

"wearing so much as a different shirt must be someone else"

Again, you are oversimplifying it. As I've pointed out, there was a lot more to it than "different shirt, different person." Lemme explain it once again...

 

In Grubsy's case, it was to assign a sibling to Bubsy to explain Bubsy's relation to the twins, who were established as his niece and nephew. Right? So he has to have a sibling, right? So instead of making up someone entirely, just make a connection to a little-known feature in Bubsy 1. See how I'm doing this? I'm integrating facts about the games into the story. Wabubsy was a matter of the dev cycles of Bubsy 2 and 3 overlapping, and the fact the series is implied to be staged (I believe I explained that in the "Bubsy is transgender" theory and in my rebuttal).

 

And if the "different shirt, different person" rule I supposedly have is true, how come, according to my lore, the unlockable Snake Bubsy in Bubsy 3D is just an alter ego? I linked the post that explained it in the rebuttal and in the edit of that old theory post. You should have seen it by now.

 

And as you've pointed out, Modern!Bubsy is Bubsy 20 years in the future. She doesn't even fit in that equation, because she didn't exist until Classic!Bubsy grew up to be her. And in the future, Bubsy is no longer an actress because she was fired and her reputation was ruined, so the "everything was staged" thing I use to explain things in Classic!Bubsy's time frame (1992-1996) doesn't apply to Modern!Bubsy anymore. So it is absolutely established that they're the same person.

All I'm doing is connecting dots and filling in blanks, mate. It's not that far out. You just have to stop thinking of it in context of what the original devs intended. Because obviously it's not. It goes without saying. You'd have to be pretty gullible to believe it. Safe to say they would have never thought about pulling a Conker with Bubsy.

 

"How can you expect acceptance for your vision if you don't accept the vision of others?"

What are you even talking about? You were the one who called poppycock on me, not the other way around. I called you out on it and gave you a taste of your own medicine.

 

"I'm sorry to hear that. As one Bubsy fan to another Bubsy fan I hope one day you will be."

Are you doing the "I take roleplay literally" thing again? You do realise I'm not in character, right? Modern Bubsy's just a character, mate. It's what I added the entire Bubsy series up to using facts and observations, and filling in blanks where needed. It's not "I want Bubsy to be juuuuuust like me!" Where do you get the idea that everyone connects with Bubsy on a spiritual level? What is your basis for that? Some of us just think Bubsy's a cute, silly cartoon cat who had potential that was never utilized. That's all.

 

This is like talking to a brick wall.

Agreed. That is simply because nothing has changed to make me say otherwise.

 

I realize Bubsy is a fictional character but then again I am not the one calling myself "Bubsy".

 

The transgender Bubsy not a bad character design for Bubsy. You're a good artist. Don't mind Bubsy looking older, I just think Bubsy would care more for his/her appearance. Was trying to wrap my head around the whole concept then I saw your stance on Fractured Furry Tales. (Posted April 11, 2015, long before this article).

 

Grubsy: not a bad fan theory. I know of lot of people have asked where the twins came from. Like I mentioned before in the Mario and Luigi comment, I would go with this theory more if they were referenced seperately or both shared screen time. But for fun this could go either way.

 

Different Shirt Different person rule/Snake Eyes: When I wrote my article you did consider Snake Eyes a different bobcat. You have changed your stance on that since with new information.

 

Like the second player fact I appreciate that you brought up Snake Eyes. I'm finding out more and more about Snake Eyes Bubsy, like the fact that you can possibly play with that appearance with a game code? May have to try that out.

 

Fractured Furry Tales: The often forgotten part of the Bubsy franchise since most don't seem to own an Atari Jaguar. If Bubsy was an impersonator in FFT then that actor is zippier and faster, perhaps slightly clumsier, than regular Bubsy.

 

But no, FFT was the part of the Bubsy franchise that introduced me to Bubsy and started my love for the character. So calling that part of the franchise "an impersonator" did not sit well with me.

 

(I had another segment here. Then I remembered in your last response the "Lemme explain", which I tuned in to listen. So rather than make this final, how about a "Lemme explain" of my own...)

 

You say development time overlapped and Bubsy couldn't be in both Bubsy 2 and FFT? You hear of a lot of times actors have been on two projects like Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future also working on Family Ties. Maybe that is what contributed to Bubsy's burn out? Michael J. Fox to use that example again was strung out and nearly a zombie off screen, but managed to come together while on screen. So for Bubsy nearly two years later Bubsy 3D is the final straw with the game's utter failure.

 

How does that sound for your Bubsy timeline?

"I realize Bubsy is a fictional character but then again I am not the one calling myself "Bubsy"."
Again, where have I ever said that I, SqrlyJack, am Bubsy? I'm playing a character on that blog. Sulkysadbobcat, as I've told you a thousand times now, is a role play blog where people can ask Bubsy questions and read her ramblings. Quit taking it literally.

 

"I just think Bubsy would care more for his/her appearance."

At first she did, as you can see from the "A Beautiful Bub!" picture. But now it's the least of her worries, as she'd rather spend what little money she has on food, rent, booze, weed, keeping her privates clean, etc. Context is the name of the game.

"When I wrote my article you did consider Snake Eyes a different bobcat. You have changed your stance on that since with new information."
You sure about that? http://sqrlyjack.tumblr.com/post/124267712527/ive-been-thinking-about-tying-in-the-metal-gear
I'm pretty sure the date there, in that big, blue circle, says I made that post in July. But as I said, I don't blame you for not seeing it since I forgot to put it on sulkysad. However, the post still existed long before this article, therefore your point is still very much null.

"So calling that part of the franchise "an impersonator" did not sit well with me."

You know I wasn't making fun of FFT anymore than I was with the other Bubsy games. Hell, Bubsy 3D got the short end of the stick by wrecking Bubsy's mental health.

 

As for your counter claim to the FFT understudy, that's a good possibility. With that in mind it could go either way theory-wise. Though I'm still partial to Bubsy having a double, especially after the bit you pointed out with the game literally having the same coding as Bubsy 1. Now it's pretty much settled because of that. I mean, it's kinda funny to imagine they just handed Wabubsy an outdated script and they just stuck with it. "What do you mean Bubsy can take hits now?! Screw it, we're keeping the script." It fits in with the theme of powers-that-be making bad decisions, both in the story and real life. ahahaha

 

But hey, I think you're getting it. Good on ya.
