#bear asks

[katmaibearfan]

I recently followed your blog and am really enjoying it! But as a newbie I have a one question: how do they weigh the bears at the end???

they don't, as far as i know -- any actual weights you see are likely estimates.

Fat Bear Week is about much more than just the factual, numerical amount that the bears weigh. its about voting for whichever bear you feel is fattest. is that the biggest of the big boars? is it whoever you feel gained the most weight, numerically? what about extenuating circumstances, like bears who are elderly, or injured, or caring for cubs? maybe you think the winner should be the one who gained the most weight proportionally, compared to where they started the year -- in which case you'll *definitely* be voting for a cub! or maybe, maybe, you've just decided that you like one bear more than the others and you'll vote for them no matter what.

That's the beauty of Fat Bear Week, IMO.

I see that you’re a huge fan of Sonic! How would you say were your favorite characters

(Sorry this took so long to answer, the mobile app eats these asks like candy!)

Definitely shadow, an amazing character with a rich backstory. The dude got wings and a shit ton of cool powers recently!

33, 36 and 40 of the oc questions for Sam and Cait please?

33. Which one of them gives "that look" when they other is acting like a fool?

laughs out loud That's pretty much 100% Cait giving "that look" to Sam. Sam loves it too much when Cait gets silly to deny her the pleasure, because he knows how rare it can be for her--hell, he's usually the one instigating it (if it's not Cora). Cait, on the other hand, is still often far too serious for her own good and will give Sam a good, quelling look if she thinks he's out of line. (Which usually just gets a cheeky grin back from Sam. He's pretty irrepressible.)

36. What is something that would break their hearts?

Seeing Cora hurt, in a way that they can neither fight nor correct, is a heartbreaker for both of them. And it's inevitable--even if the game storyline wasn't going to go that direction, that's an unavoidable consequence of growing up. And they both know it--at least Sam does, and Cait comes to understand it.

40. What is a song that reminds you of the OCs' relationship?

Cyndi Lauper, True Colors. The lyrics are just so on point for Cait and Sam. It's there as early as Chapter 4 (and definitely Chapter 7). Sam sees through her defenses--however imperfectly--and sets his sights on helping her show herself to a world that, whether she realizes it or not, fears her less than she fears it.

You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh, I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness inside you Makes you feel so small

Would there be any audience for me to do a kokoro inspired one shot for my Android AU?

Kokoro was one of my favorite songs, got me through depression as a pre-teen, then again as a teen, and once again- now as an adult 😅

I can't stop thinking about doing a piece inspired by it, I've never done it in all the years I've been writing, fics or otherwise!

Ik I should be writing for Myself, but I also don't want to be burned alive by just writing and posting something so much more self-indulgent than even the horniest of smut I write 😅😅😅

Where did 910jr learn that cute lil paw from?

910jr learned the magic paw from her mother, 910, who learned it from her mother, 409 Beadnose.

Beadnose fished the lip of the falls quite a lot, and when she did, she would raise a front paw, often placing it across her chest. She would then use this paw to help her catch the fish -- knocking them closer to her head, or stabilizing her grip on the fish. When Beadnose raised her cubs (like 909 and 910), she taught them this technique, and now those cubs she had have cubs of their own (like 909jr and 910jr) who are carrying on their grandmother's legacy.

there's a few other family trees with notable behavioral traits that carry through the generations, like how members of the 708 Amelia family tree tend to stand on their hind legs for prolonged periods of time, especially when they're in the lower river. But the Magic Paw that the Beadnose family has is not just a particularly cute example of such familial behaviors -- it's also a very sweet reminder of the legacy of 409 Beadnose, the well-loved two time Fat Bear Week champion who was last seen in 2018.

Rest in peace, Beadnose. Your legacy carries on to another generation.

shashi. shashi how is the 3 in one supposed to work?? I can see it hypothetically working as shampoo+body soap, but shampoo+conditioner???? No?????

how is something supposed to shampoo (remove dirty and oils) and condition (add oils) at the same damn time.

sincerely, someone who spent a decent amount of their life using 3 in 1 but skin condition and hair being weirf said NOPE and switched over. aka bear

im sorry idk how they work it's just a quick fix in uni for when I'm too busy or when the mental health is not healthing. i do have regular soap and shampoo too for the days i wanna take a long self indulgent shower dw

anyway, in case if you're still curious, found this reddit thread this might clear up stuff for you
