N-no! No no no-

We are! Not!! Going to die here!

Even if we f-feel like we really, really are! Because we should've been dead like twenty million times over at this point, and we are NOT!! LQ is, is s-still goin' at it, despite the overwhelming odds and all! NOTHING can kill me!!! A-and now, now!!

Now I have a goal, and a meaning, and by jove, we are going to PLANT this stupid little flag!! And some day, m-maybe some day -- we'll figure out what all this is for!!

YEAH!! Am I right?!!

I'M RIGHT!!!

[moonymelly]

LMAOOOOOO

Sorry, Mirror, but ah….Idrk if Biggerler’s in the right place or headspace to answer to that 💀 (nottomentionhewouldntknowwhotheheckthis”LQ”guyis) BUT!!! AGHHH TYSM FOR THE COMPLIMENT 🥹💕

…Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand!!!

I HAD TO. AND THE FACT THAT YOU EVEN COMPARED BIGGERLER TO LQ MADE ME ASCEND TO THE HEAVENS BECAUSE I AM A HUGE LQ SUPERFUN YKNOW YKNOW

Also, on a serious note, I’m actually glad you guys are thinking of Biggerler as “unhinged” and “insane”, cuz that’s what I was going for >B)

Biggerler is supposed to be the version of The Onceler we all know and love from the beloved song Biggering, and The Onceler in that draft of the movie was genuinely uhhh pretty much not as nice, I yknow what I mean? Whether Biggerler used to be silly and goofy like what we saw in the movie or has always been this way is unclear as of now for you guys (👀), but I’m happy with how you all are receiving him 😌

ALSO!!

BONUS DOODLE!!!! 🥹💚✨ I LOVE LQ SO SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME AN EXCUSE TO DRAW HIM AGH

HQ & LQ: *arguing*

Me@Atole: Yo this is literally the Spiderman pointing at himself.

Just two “buddies” vibing in the void residing in @lowquality-onceler’s wasteland.

Ask Meme Part 2: LQ-ler

My faviest fave who I ever faved!! Low Quality Once-ler! Lets do this.

Why I like them: More like, why I LOVE them okay? Uh…where do I begin. I think his initial and prevailing appeal was his aesthetic. I love old technology, low quality footage, foggy audio and static. I love the sound of a VCR’s mechanics turning. And the reason for all of this is suitingly, nostalgia. Which is what LQ is all about. He’s so carefully thought up and his themes fit together so nicely. His concept had me hooked from the start; a Once-ler who comes from lowquality footage of the movie. But then it just gets even deeper and examines the regrets of a Once-ler and a character that knew about his fate and destiny from the start and it’s just so fucking fascinating and well thought out. LQ himself has this charm to his personality and he’s positively endearing and adorable it’s not hard to understand why so many people flocked to him and showed him love. But if he was just that and that alone it would make for a flat character. LQ has other sides to himself that come out from time to time and it becomes obvious that in some cases he’s putting up a façade. He tends to brush the fact that he’s upset or angry under the rug to keep up his image and it’s something that anyone reading can really understand. It’s a great study of identity and how adults present themselves to each other in the business world and just generally to the public and how sometimes we aren’t really true to ourselves because we don’t like things about ourselves. I know this got super analytical so im going to go back to his characterization for a sec. He is such a lively person. Each gesture and reply and his eccentricity are wonderful to witness. I love his design a LOT. Those big grey-blue eyes with the long lashes and his glasses and his messy brown hair. He has a really unique look to him. He’s a good guy and I’d love to talk with him about old tech and stuff. He comes off as caring a lot about other people and Im sure he wants the best for others.

     Why I don’t: He has made some really dumb mistakes and been so self destructive that he has impacted those around him. He needs to practice true self love beyond any sort of merits he has and just believe that he can do good things even if he’s done bad things in the past. He’s really REALLY got to stop beating himself up. It’s okay for him to make mistakes in the past but he’s got to seek improvement and any time that he does you can feel really happy for him. He’s come a long way but he’s got some ways to go and can’t give up just yet.

Favorite episode (scene if movie): Probably when HQ first showed up. That whole part had me screaming. Actually, I have a LOT of favorite scenes and chapters from his blog. Type louder and his drawing party are some old favorites. The buildup to the GRAND reveal and LQ’s valley times are also incredibly great and Swone’s visit was hilarious and sweet. I also love the more recent chapters where LQ continues to have conflict with HQ and we some other sides of him.

Favorite season/movie: Ahhh…it’s hard to pick one. I love his entire blog :” ) I already talked about a lot of stuff it’s hard sjkgslsddsh I’d just sit here and list everything LOL but if I had to pick one both the events leading up to the GRAND REVEAL and HQ showing up.

Favorite line(s): “Even though the tag might say “low-quality”, I think that those old gifs had their own charm to them. Nostalgia, if you will. “ “Honesty is the best policy, after all.” “I AM N-NOT A BUTT P-PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!”

Favorite outfit: I’m honestly a sucker for his business suit and bandaged arms(though, poor LQ for being so badly injured). I also really love his thneed and that REDICULOUS cape he had from his business times.

OTP: LQxHQ. Gotta have that self love, amiright? It’s a really good exploration of LQ’s relationship with himself and HQ is frankly hilarious. I know it isn’t the healthiest for LQ but im hoping things can improve for him in the future. Also, Bawstin-luh or Brandon O’ Shea from the the Thneedville High AU because LQ and Brandon are just really happy together :” ) Brotp: LQ and Swone. And my guilty pleasure: LQ and Swone and Onag. I always did want to see those two meet. Also LQ and Thneednight, LQ and Corv and LQ and Winter when they finally work things out a bit heh. While we’re on the topic of folks I wish LQ could have met I just gotta say…Cheap. Thrift buddies. Just picture it. Cheap had a chance to meet LQ by punching him in the face for 10 whole dollars but he PASSED IT UP!! For SHAME, Cheap. (To be fair IDK if they’d get along well haha)

Head Canon: At one point in the blog it’s mentioned that LQ used to watch the 1972 TV special and he said his Mom caught him watching it and turned it off. I think that she turned it off during the Once-ler’s successful points and before he chopped the last tree. Since then, LQ has never watched past that point on the VHS tape and in his youth it gave him only positive ideas about being a Once-ler and impacted him a lot in the long run. It’s kind of ironic because his Mom tried to discourage him but only really made him more interested.

Unpopular opinion: Y’all probably don’t want to face this fact, but LQ can be really nasty and temperamental sometimes. He’s spoken outright insults at people when he’s speaking honestly so he’s not purely “an innocent and sweet uwu baby” . He’s also very introspective and intelligent though he’s made a number of stupid descisions. Some things he’s said and thought are downright philosophical. That being said, those aspects make me like him even more as a character.

A wish: I want to see LQ continue to improve and move on in his life. He might need to break the mold he’s in to make that happen but he’s already established that he’s been doing things his own way so it’s not hard to imagine. It’s hard to move on but I believe in him.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: I don’t want LQ to die or give up :” )

5 words to best describe them: Nostalgic, Mysterious, Adorable, Charming, Bright

My nickname for them: I love the nickname ‘Lowqual’. It’s not a nickname I coined but…yeah. Uhm…Staticky Boi, My Favorite Onceler,

@residentcryptid And now onto Cheap!

Protect that smile.

((Mod: aaa this didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. I tried to keep it as close to LQ’s mod’s style as possible. I think I succeeded? I looked at a lot of their drawings to figure out how to draw LQ -- I literally was sitting there at my computer copying him over and over.

But ew my gross sketchy lines. And ugh the colors got all pale when I applied the filter to make it grainy. OTL

Hope it’s still good anyways.))

[lowquality-onceler]

..... hmm, or maybe...

M-maybe I've just gotten better at w-walkin' out here? Ha, t-that's more likely, I'd bet.

........ ...... w-welp.

T-time for flag number.... uh, whatever number we're on b-by now!
