WERE BEARS INFODUMP POST

I did a Wikipedia deep dive once, so that's how I came to know about Were Bears. Since I thought they were very me-core, I decided to reblog some posts featuring them. I even made a post of my own to inform more people about them, so here it is!

Why does Growler have a blue hat in the comics, but his actual toy DOESN'T? I don't know why, but I guess they wanted him to look a tad bit cooler.

Speaking of Growler, there's also this collector's edition plush of him. Not only does he howl, his eyes even GLOW as well. This iteration of Growler also has that blue cap on his normal face, so looks like it's officially made its way onto one of the toys!

There's also collector's edition versions of Grizzler, Fang, and Howler, but I'm not sure if poor Gums had one.

Speaking of Gums, why is he blue on this comic book cover, but his actual plush's fur color is PURPLE? Looks like he'll get confused with Howler, the actual blue one of the group.

I found these on the Were Bears' official website using the Wayback Machine. Grizzler's wearing a completely different shirt, and Gums is missing his cap. There's also a CGI Were Bears trailer on YouTube if you wanna watch it.

I found an image of this female Were Bear in the group, and I don't even know what her name is. I don't think she had a plush, either.

There was a Were Bears ripoff in 1991 called Beasty Bears, and it's pure plagiarism at its finest. HOW DID THEY NOT GET SUED???

They even stole three of their names, with the exception of Snarly.

Last of all, they might've been an early predecessor to Feisty Pets because of the whole "cute-to-creepy" mechanic.

Thanks for looking at this post! I feel like making some Were Bears fan art soon!

“The animal was brought from the stars long ago… it is a beast having no more intelligence than a dog, and perhaps less. But it is a devourer of carrion and a clawer at graves, and when it has fed upon human flesh it knows, at least for a time, the speech and ways of human beings.”

my most unpopular + controversial spec bio opinion is that the square cube law isnt all that hard to follow. stop making your creatures be as big as possible all the time. its far more effective and puts the size into far sharper contrast if you actually can compare them to things which you interact with on a regular basis and its far easier to fully utilize and understand every square inch of said creature if youre not trying to challenge Every Giant Land Vertebrate for size.

Top 24 of 2024

Well, well, well, look what we have here. If it isn’t 52 weeks’ worth of data drawn from the exemplary original posts you’ve been producing day in, day out, combined with the likes, reblogs, and search data—all of it weighed, ranked, and presented here for your viewing pleasure. In news that will come as a shock to no one at all, 2024 was the year of Artists on Tumblr. But quite right, too, as just a cursory scroll through the fanart, illustrations, digital pieces, paintings, textiles, and more will attest. It’s a goldmine. But this ain’t just any goldmine, this is your goldmine, and we’ve got abundant gratitude for the wonderful work you’ve shared this last year. 

Dungeon Meshi won hearts and minds with its cozy feel, its cookery, its cast of eclectic, likable characters, and a delightfully off-center vibe. Farcille made for the sapphic love story we didn’t know we needed—and the inspiration for endless, exquisite fanart. There was much appreciation for season one, and excitement abounds for season two. But there were endings as well as beginnings, sadly, as the much-loved Jujutsu Kaisen brought six years of sublime storytelling to a close with Chapter 271. Good faced Evil, a nephew faced an uncle, and some really liked it, and others really did not. Discourse ensued, as discourse is wont to do. 

Television! And lots of it! 2024 was the year in which animation ruled supreme with an embarrassment of riches to plunder. Gravity Falls and The Book of Bill became your fall fixations and simply refused to stop trending for seemingly an age (a Good Thing). Bill Cipher and Stanford Pines both made the Top 24 in their own right as you shipped them to high hell, with Billford coming top of Ships for 2024. Speaking of Hell, Hazbin Hotel was the new kid on the block. And, after a five-year wait, the new kid charmed—it was filthier, funnier, raunchier, and more heartfelt than you could have hoped for. 

When it comes to hope, the times continue to be challenging, and the news can threaten to overwhelm. 2024 was no different. But you all painted the dash every color of the rainbow, stood loud and proud, and supported your ever-growing community online and offline in the struggle for LGBTQIA+ rights. While folks continue to voice their distress and concern for the ongoing crisis in Palestine, they also fight the good fight with activism and fundraising efforts across the dash. These may be dark days, but you all work tirelessly for the greater good as only you know how.

Looking after oneself is vital in these trying times, and you’ve all done just that in your own inimitable fashion. Cats still rule Tumblr as bears still poop in woods, and everyone has taken essential time to peruse the dashboard’s plethora of cat GIFs, cat art, boopin’ cats, cats of yore, and so on. You’re keeping things similarly wholesome with some more Tumblr mainstays: cottagecore, and its sister aesthetic, naturecore, imagine a simpler, greener, and quieter time. A time where the breeze billows softly through the long grass and gently turns the blades of the windmill; a time where we, too, might poop in woods.

The only thing more important than looking after oneself is treating oneself, and what better way to do that than gaming? Baldur’s Gate 3 made a most impressive leap from #21 last year to #7 in 2024, as the need for sexy monsters and beautiful beasties becomes ever more imperative with each passing year. Pokémon may have dropped a little from five to 11, but these games and shows still hold a dear place in your hearts—as demonstrated by your bountiful and beautiful fanart.

Here are the 24 most-mentioned things on Tumblr in 2024.

The man with probably the most unfortunate name has passed

R.I.P Dick Butkus, formerly of Da Bears, and also immortalized in the Beastie Boys song “Get On the Mic”
