WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT LUDO AGAIN AUGH !!!

After the expose that @sonicphobia0601 did for Ludo about their fic, Ludo has gone too far and get worse in each second

You might think "there isn't any problem!!" Oh you're completely wrong. If you look closely, the pose is exactly the same. The glasses same. The small ears same and hell, even the tail is same!! Sonicphobia's oc might look like this because they aren't good at drawing (and there's no problem here, everyone might be good or bad at drawing and we need to respect it) but it's clear that you can see the similarities if you look closely.

So, to everyone in the bbu community, please watch out for your ocs. Because he might stole them and put them in his fics.

And Sonicphobia, I'm very sorry for what happened to you, you don't deserve this. You deserve better.

BBU Community Days 2024! In April!

Thank you, BBU community, for existing! To celebrate this community and our shared universe, I'll host a second instance of the BBU Community Days.

The event is open to everyone who enjoys the BBU. You don't have to be a writer or a long time participant, or anything, it's enough to just be someone who is fascinated by the universe! There's also no need to fill in all the prompts; no completionist badge will be awarded. The only "rule" is: if you want to boost your own content, please always boost someone else's too.

This year's prompts are in parts similar to last year's, some even stayed the same due to their success and popularity. Looking forward to seeing your new takes to it.

CWs: BBU, pet whump, dehumanisation

Do you think Guard Dog designated pets should be legally required to wear an auditory identifier in public?

Summary of the proposed law: Guard Dog class pets will have to wear an auditory device such as a bell collar or proximity alarm at all times whilst in public spaces.

Yes

David Cooper, Talk Radio presenter and former owner of GDS Ltd

In all pets there is the danger of them running off, to name one problem, but not all are likely to harm people. This honour is reserved mainly for Guard Dogs.

In 2022, 54% of all reported violent pet-related incidents were caused by Guard Dogs. This is compared to 22% caused by Domestics, 9% by Platonics, 12% by Romantics, and only 3% by Objects. Clearly, something needs to be done to regulate Guard Dogs further and reduce their detrimental impact on the general population. They are a danger to adults and children alike, and although an extremely useful asset, precautions must be taken to ensure nothing gets out of hand. They are inherently violent, and if training is done badly then they can become killers — and not just in defence of their owners.

I recognise that a lot of proposals, such as MP North's in September 2021 to keep Guard Dogs muzzled at all times around vulnerable people, go too far, and are unworkable in terms of ensuring their owners can still be protected, but something needs to be done. And a warning causes no harm to anyone.

I know there are arguments that this dehumanises Guard Dogs, and that it is unneeded, but I disagree. These are the same type of people who argue that bell collars aren't good for cats despite the numerous evidence that they prevent bird kills. Pets do not feel embarrassed, that is the fact of the matter, and a bell or proximity alarm would not be an annoyance but rather an acceptable fact of having a Guard Dog. You own a Guard Dog, you must have a bell, and that would be the end of the matter.

One thing I do object to though is the lack of consideration given to disabled people throughout this proposal. If a deaf person were to need an alert to a nearby Guard Dog, for example, how would it work? They wouldn't be able to hear an auditory identifier.

I propose that, in addition to the auditory identifier, Guard Dog pets should be fitted with a device that emits a flashing light. This would allow those with low or no hearing to know when a Guard Dog is nearby. A GPS device would be useful if the Guard Dog is unseen, for example in an adjoining supermarket aisle, but this would be an invasion of the people’s privacy and technically very difficult to adapt.

However, something must be done to improve the safety of the general public and it is for that reason that I, with the expertise of my years as CEO of Guard Dog Security Ltd, support these proposals.

No

Ade Olayinke, Mayor of Sheffield and founder of Help4Pets

In my role as Mayor of Sheffield, I have met many residents, some of whom own Guard Dogs. In this job, and while working on the ground for Help4Pets, I have rarely met any dangerous pets — owners, however, can be a different story. Research conducted by YouGov suggests that over 90% of Guard Dog-related incidents can be traced back to their owners or training. Surely then the legislations on pet owners and training should be tightened, instead of these frankly humiliating proposals for Guard Dogs themselves?

Because yes, they are humiliating. Some say that pets can't be humiliated, but if that's the case, why do many books on pet care suggest it as the first choice of punishment? Alongside pain, of course.

Why should a pet have to pay for another's mistakes? Although I don't necessarily agree I can see the argument with pets that truly are dangerous, but most aren't (if not all — remember, pets are trained to obey their owners in all things. If they're hurting members of the public, this suggests that either their owner wants them to, or their training has gone wrong in some way. In either case, why should the pet be the one to pay when they are not at fault?). In fact, another poll by YouGov from September last year showed that out of pet-related groups (including the pets themselves) the general public are by far most afraid of WRU recapture squads, and for good reason, given their powers to act with almost complete impunity. One thing I can commend in this country is at least they aren't allowed to be armed.

But one of the stated aims of this new legislation is to reassure the general public, and if WRU recapture squads are the biggest obstacle to that, surely they should be the ones who need to be identified at a distance? Unless you view it as too extreme a measure for people, in which case you should ask yourself why you think it's okay for those classed as pets. However you view them, they are still human.

It is legislation on owners and trainers (both WRU and others) that should be tightened. The solution is not to force pets, who are already under tight control with existing laws heavily biased against them, to wear such a humiliating and unnecessary device, but to help everyone, both pets and people, live peacefully together without causing unnecessary fear, humiliation or other types of harm. To anyone.

ART BY @robinfollies !!

──────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────

ARTHURSTOTLE HEADCANONS :: angst time!!

- After Arthur went missing, Aristotle had to stop sleeping in their old bedroom, because they felt empty every time they set foot in that room.

- When Arthur wasn't okay at all,he used to ask Aristotle to go for a walk at night to observe the stars and talk.Now,Aristotle goes every night in the woods where they usually went, just to observe the stars together with the old memories they have of Arthur.

- After two years after Arthur's disappearance, everyone had lost hope and started to accept the possibility that he was dead, everyone except Aristotle, who always continued to look for him and investigate his disappearance, to the point of worrying the people who care about them, prob for the too much work they were doing for something that,in that moment,was "useless".

- Arthur and Aristotle always used to read together on the sofa or even in the woods, but now that Arthur is no longer here, Aristotle continues to keep the books they were reading with him, with the hope of being able to reopen them together with Arthur, continuing year after year to not lose hope.

- Aristotle has very low expectations of themself and their abilities, but, years ago, Arthur was always there by their side, reassuring them and making Aristotle not just good enough, but much more.Now,Aristotle has not yet managed to have better expectations of themself, but they continues to tell their friends that everything is fine, only to avoid being filled with questions as happened in the first days after Arthur's disappearance.

- As much as Arthur tried to never admit when he was sick, Aristotle somehow always managed to immediately tell if something wasn't right,and Arthur has always hated Aristotle's immediate desire to show themself available towards him, because for him being understood also meant being helped and worrying the people he cared about his health.

──────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────

I have decided to post my headcanons thanks to @battersweet posts,go to check zee acc if you want to!

FUN FACT : its canon that Arthur just went missing,but he is presumably dead.
