Unearthing characters 29: Gareth

Unearthing characters 29: Gareth

Here's a guy I wish all sorts of bad things on 😠

Gareth takes on the appearance of a large wolf, with white fur and pink eyes with black pupils, as well as an unusually wide smile. But that's not necessarily his true form, since he can shapeshift 🐺⬜

His history is the main reason I hate him; he killed Spam's father (please, I want you to think about how much you like that cheerful fox and imagine how much he suffered because of that wretch; take all the sadness you felt when you saw Silhouette, turn it into hate and write a comment here as if you were talking to Gareth 🤬)

Finally, although we don't have a description of his personality, it's noticeable that he doesn't seem like a very good person, even more so considering his actions, which demonstrates how heartless he is 💔

Random question 87: What's the most random fact you know about Zoophobia?

Well, I'm a big fan of random trivia, so I'm the kind of guy who blurts out some curiosity at any moment 🤠

Everyone here knows the iceberg of information we have, and the more time passes, the bigger it gets (it's impressive how even today we can find things we didn't know 😦), and since the community was dead for a looooong time (in fact, it's still kind of on life support), a lot of things were lost between the obscure pages of the wiki and the whispers of the older fans 🫥

But of course, there are still people who remember small details, and this is where I want to bring them together, to be more precise: If you have any interesting facts about Zoophobia, please share them! 😁

Unearthing Characters 26 (suggested by u/AddiWhisper): Scarlet

Here's a character with a lot of potential (you know that, right Whisper? 😉)

Scarlet is a fox with red fur, some black markings on her limbs, and a long tail 🦊

She doesn't have a very dense backstory, but it's interesting to see that she's connected to an important character in the plot: Spam; in this case, being his older sister. Another important point for the character is her relationship with Harlie, in which they are girlfriends 🥰

An interesting fact about her is that she was originally intended to be incredibly different, as she was supposed to be a male and Spam's cousin, with characteristics much more similar to him, mainly in personality ♂️

(Also, not that I'm advertising, but there's a really good fanfic that delves a lot deeper into the character; if you want to know more, just go to r/Blacksdale 😁)

Random question 84: Is Xirxine stupid?

Continuing the series of criticisms regarding some of the characters' stupid actions, or in this case, a place, we have Xirxine 🧪

We know that Xirxine conducts terrible and inhumane experiments on poor test subjects, who may be bred there, like Addison, or captured and studied, and it is this last case that I want to focus on today 🤠

Do you remember when, in chapter 3, Damian gets angry with Leeson and is then captured by Po and Poe? So, they threaten to send him to Xirxine, but why the hell would they do that? And even though this seems like a silly question, think about it: Do you really want to imprison the son of LUCIFER/THE FUCKING DEVIL????? And do you still want to torture him????? 🫪

And another thing, remember when I mentioned Addison before? Well, how come he's never been found? Like, he walks around freely even though he must be a very well-known person, considering he escaped from the largest laboratory in Safe Haven, isn't that a little strange? Yes, you could argue that it's a secret laboratory, but look, it's not just any old place, it's an entire corporation (literally the size of a District), and nobody, ABSOLUTELY nobody who works for them saw a somewhat strange boy walking around? And furthermore, if Xirxine is so powerful, how come they didn't receive information that a boy with the same name, appearance, and matching age had appeared at an orphanage, probably near the facility??????? 🤯

Unearthing characters 23: Cierra

Here’s another character who surprised me with how much information exists about her, considering she’s relatively forgotten 😔

Cierra is a demon of the same species as Carrie, but she has long white hair and dark gray skin 😈. She wears a black-and-white dress, along with black gloves and tights

She is Maricella’s younger sister (making her Zill and Alexis’s aunt); the two always had a rivalry growing up, until Cierra defeated her sister in a duel and became a villain ⚔️. However, she retired from that life to help Zill with his powers, and whenever she visits Alexis, she goes clubbing with her (and yes, she and Maricella still hate each other, but they tolerate one another because they live in the same house 😠)

Cierra is a very impatient woman; she has no close bonds with anyone and is hard to impress 😒. She loves soap operas, singing, and going to nightclubs.

u/PS59716 — 22 days ago

Unearthing characters 21: Taylor

For some reason, on his wiki, it says that Kestral is Taylor's aunt and cousin, even though he's only a cousin, obviously (I think this is just another one of the wiki's mistakes 🙄)

Taylor appears to be an avian, having tanned skin and orange hair with purple highlights in his human form, as well as a striking feature: his eyes are black with a red sclera. He is wearing a light brown shirt and a light orange turtleneck, along with green trousers and cyan high-heeled shoes 👁️🔴

His story doesn't have many wonderful moments, but we know he has a rivalry with Zill, considering him his greatest rival, because Zill has always been successful with girls, unlike Taylor, who keeps getting rejected but continues trying 💔

His personality isn't really defined, but we can deduce that he's quite confident (besides probably having an unshakeable ego, because to get your heart broken in love so many times and keep going, you have to have self-esteem that's just unbelievable); and he's always flirting with girls (in vain) 😎

(It's almost funny how different Kestral and Taylor are, even though they're cousins 😦)

Random question 79: What is the political structure of Safe Haven?

So, while we enjoy what are likely the last moments of peace before a nuclear war, why not ask questions about Zoophobia? 🤠

We know that, in general, politics moves the world (even if that's not a good thing most of the time), and obviously it's no different in Zoophobia, because there has to be at least one form of organization 👍

But here's the thing: What is the policy at Safe Haven? It's likely that the peacekeepers handle these matters, but how are they chosen? Is there some kind of election? Or perhaps they hold this position because they founded their districts? 🤔

Unearthing Characters 19 (suggested by u/angel22_exe): Dickens

That's a character I'd never even heard of before 🫪

Dickens is a tiger who, well, doesn't seem to be in his best shape, appearing quite worn out and downcast (he even looks like he's patched up, like a doll 🧸)

His backstory is unknown, since he was discarded, but we know he had a connection with Angel Dust and Horris, where they were three crazy people tormenting others 😤

His personality is extremely crazy, to the point where he seems to have lost his sense of reality and is always acting like a lunatic 🤪

Unearthing characters 18: Xinith

It turns out the genius here forgot to mention Brandi's sister 😅

Xinith, like Brandi, is a siren; she is a tall teenage girl with long hair and black eyes with pink sclera. She's wearing something very casual, with a striped sweatshirt, scarf, and pants (in different colors)🧣

Her story is... well, being Brandi's sister and a ZPA student 🤠👍

However, one funny thing is her personality, because she's the complete opposite of her older sister, being much more reclusive and having different hobbies, like helping music students backstage; besides enjoying observing and studying other people 🫣

Random question 76: What if the characters had social media?

(Well, maybe I could create a "what if?" chart 🤠)

I've always loved seeing this kind of "what if the characters from such and such universe had social media?" kind of thing, and I think it's a good idea to bring it here too, right? 😅

"Ah, but what do you want me to answer?" Simple; how do you think a character would use social media? For example, I believe Damian would be the type of person who picks a fight over anything he disagrees with (in other words, an average X/Twitter user); and also that Kayla would be the type of person who would post daily blogs or motivational messages 😊

But anyway, what about you? What do you think about this? 🤔

(Now, just a figment of my imagination: what would the characters think if they entered here? 🫪)

u/PS59716 — 1 month ago

Unearthing Characters 17: Baltimore

Continuing with the cast of Mean Girls—I mean, with the characters, we have Baltimore 🤠

Baltimore is an avian, she has black hair and orange eyes; she wears an orange sweater, a black and white striped dress, and black slippers (her design resembles a film reel 🎞️)

Her story isn't particularly interesting, but we know she has many enemies, such as Brandi and, most notably, Kayla, who causes a certain amount of apprehension in Baltimore because of her singing talent 🎵

Her personality is basically that of being mean and arrogant (even more so than Brandi possibly), she likes to feel superior and, because of her singing talent, she is very proud; however, she disguises her arrogant behavior behind a sweet smile and insincerity. Furthermore, she is racist towards species that are not avian, especially in the performing arts (if you still liked her, here's a reason to change your mind 😡)

An interesting fact about her (and the only one too), is that she is inspired by a specific bird, the Baltimore oriole 🦜

Random question 75: What are your fears for the future?

I can see this question is going to cause some anxiety in some people 😬

So, we know that Zoophobia will get a miniseries in the future, with some changes to the story to better fit the genre, considering that several important Zoophobia characters went to Hellaverse 🤠

The question is, how big will these changes be? Will they be very extreme? Or just simple things? 🤔

But the biggest question is: How will the public react? We've already seen that people have a certain prejudice against Vivzie's work and furries, so what will happen? Will people like it? Will they ignore it and let Zoophobia be forgotten again? Will they hate it and lynch the project? (Help, I think I'm going to explode with anxiety! 😫)

Well, at least we know that now that Vivzie has a large community, inevitably some people will like and join our little corner 😁 (which I want and at the same time don't want to stop being small 😔)

(I think just from the description of this question you can already tell that I'm a pretty anxious person, right? 😅)

Unearthing characters 16 (suggested by u/angel22_exe): Brandi

I don't know if you're familiar with the movie "White Chicks," but it's very popular in Brazil, and every time I see that character I instantly think of that movie; I think it's because of her appearance 🤠

Brandi is a siren (in short, a race related to mermaids, so the song of members of this species has a hypnotic quality). She is the epitome of a spoiled rich girl, with long blonde hair and a pink dress, plus a jacket and high heels, obviously, all pink; Oh, and of course she's a cheerleader, who for obvious reasons wears a pink headband when she's performing and ties her hair in a ponytail, However, her uniform isn't pink, it's green with yellow details, precisely the school's colors 🩷

Her backstory is pretty shallow, but we know that—unlike her relationship with Baltimore (who might even deserve a post of her own)—she and Kayla get along well, even though Kayla isn't exactly a fan of Brandi, viewing her as somewhat cruel at times 😡

As for her personality, her appearance alone makes it clear she’s the "preppy" type; she’s quite snobbish and stuck-up—the quintessential "popular girl"—with an explosive, spoiled temper (in short, she’s Regina George 2.0) 🙄

Random question 74: Which character do you think was most poorly used?

So, we know the comic wasn't finished, and that's why we didn't get to see many of the characters that were supposed to appear, but at the same time, we also have the cases I want to discuss today 🤠

Most importantly, the character I most want to mention is him, our cheerful and bouncy fox, Spam, who is listed as one of our protagonists, but doesn't have a SINGLE line of dialogue in the comic. Furthermore, we can mention Vanexa, but at least it's possible to argue that she is more reserved and therefore doesn't talk much 😶

In contrast, we have Addison, a character who, theoretically, is only secondary, but had an entire chapter focused on him and his relationship with Gustav (😒) (Seriously, how can GUSTAV get more screen time than Spam in this comic? 😩)

Just to clarify, this doesn't mean I hate Vivzie's writing and think Addison didn't deserve more screen time (I love Addison and, yes, he deserves all the best, except when he's exaggerated, like with Mackenzie, but anyway), just that I think some characters should have had more screen time because they are, theoretically, more important in the plot 😅

u/PS59716 — 1 month ago

Oh man, I'm sad

So, a relatively famous Brazilian YouTuber (Core) reacted to a video about Zoophobia! But unfortunately, that's not a good thing 😔

He reacted to the video and gave his opinions, and although the video is generally a critique (just so you know, the word that appears in the background is "desastroso," which translates to disastrous), that's fine, the video is very good and the criticisms are valid (bjs Core, tu é 10 😁)

The problem isn't the video, it's the comments; I honestly get pissed when I see people judging Zoophobia simply because the designs are furry and, mainly, because the name might bring to mind a horrific practice. Like, dude, look at the PROJECT, not just superficial things! Are you here to judge what matters, or is it simply because you read top fast and your mind is stuck in fifth grade that you can't appreciate it?! 😡

Anyway, there are still good people in the comments who simply gave their opinions; and look, what irritates me isn't that you don't like Zoophobia, it's your opinion, everyone has their own and that's okay, but I hate those people who only look at the furry characters and the name "Vivienne Medrano" and think it's going to be something bad 😭

I'll leave the link to the video here in the post, and I ask that anyone who wants to give it a like. Core is a super nice content creator and a sweetheart; he deserves all the best. And also, if possible, take a look at the video he reacted to and give it a like too; as I said, criticism is valid and it's worth showing respect 🤠👍

Unearthing characters 15 (suggested by u/angel22_exe): Marcus

Now, we're finally going to finish that side of Venganza and Luna's family! 🥳

Marcus is a werewolf, his human form being that of a white man with spiky gray and beige hair (despite his youth); his wolf form has beige fur. He's wearing a gray suit and trousers in a darker shade of gray, plus a beige tie or sash across his chest (I couldn't tell what it is 😅)

His history is... real! Marcus and Venganza (at the time Victoria Keane) had known each other since they were young, but Victoria decided to pursue a better future and they separated, without Marcus being able to reveal his feelings (ironically, this led to her death and resurrection as a vampire) 💔. But a very crazy incident happened in Marcus's village; it was attacked by a werewolf, which killed several people and transformed the survivors into werewolves, including Marcus himself (who excelled and became the pack teacher) and Victoria's younger sister (who came to be cared for by Marcus) 🐺. However, Marcus and Venganza were destined to meet again and rekindle their feelings, but could they overcome their problems and truly become a couple? (What a beautiful love story! 🥰)

Regarding his personality, Marcus isn't the biggest or strongest werewolf in the world, which is why he dedicated himself to knowledge. He is an intelligent and kind person, but also kind and compassionate 🧠

An interesting tidbit about him is that he is loosely inspired by Anthony Rapp, one of Vivzie's favorite Broadway actors 🤩

(By the way, just out of curiosity, he was probably scrapped, which is honestly a shame, because at least for me he had a lot of potential to develop with Venganza 😞)

Random question 73: Have you ever stopped to think about the size of this school?

Just so you know, I didn't die 🤠👍, I just had to deal with some issues these past few days and haven't been able to interact much here; in fact, I don't know if I'll be able to continue posting daily, but I promise I won't disappear from this place anytime soon 🫡

But now, going back to Zoophobia, or rather, talking about the ZPA, there's something that has always intrigued me: how is this place SO huge? 🫠

Let's remember a little of what we know about the school; it has a courtyard, a main hall, a nurse, an office for the guidance counselor (as well as probably many others), but the main attraction is the arts wing, which has several different rooms, one for each type of art, such as dance, music, film, painting, an auditorium, and perhaps even more. The thing is, the art wing is just ONE of several wings the school has, with many other rooms and probably an auditorium for each as well, so tell me, how big is this place? 🤔

Oh, and that's without even mentioning other things, because ZPA is possibly not just a high school, but also has elementary education, meaning it has MORE classrooms for younger students 😦

And we also have to comment on the image we have of this place; for example, it has a fucking WATERFALL and a ridiculously huge AQUARIUM, like, is this a school or a mini-city????? 🫪

Unearthing characters 14 (suggested by u/angel22_exe): Timothy

When I said that Luna brought an interesting connection, I was referring specifically to Timothy 🤠 ("Why?" you ask me? I don't know; I just liked the character 👍)

Timothy is a dragon shapeshifter; he wears gray clothes. An interesting thing about him is that he is blind, but he manages to compensate for his lack of sight with his other senses 🧑‍🦯

As you might imagine, his backstory is pretty shallow; we only know that he was originally supposed to be Luna's romantic interest, but that idea was later discarded (that is, they were both probably ruled out anyway 🤷). Furthermore, it is said that he and Autumn could form a good relationship if they met, mainly because they have many things in common

His personality is described as somewhat more pessimistic, which is a stark contrast to Luna, considering they were supposed to be a couple 😮‍💨

An interesting fact about him is that, before becoming a dragon shapeshifter, he was supposed to be a velociraptor shapeshifter 🦖

Random question 72: Okay, but who is the real final villain in Zoophobia?

Perhaps this question has an obvious answer and I just didn't realize it, but since I don't have much of an idea what that answer would be, I'll do my part and ask 🤠

The biggest problem in determining who the final villain of Zoophobia is is simple: we don't have an ending 🥲. Despite this, we can at least assume some suspects (not necessarily in order of probability):

  1. KayCee- From early on she proved to be an important character, and was probably the villain of the book 1

  2. Mirage- Although she never appeared in the comic, she has a lot of content and would probably have a good role in the future

  3. Annie- The mere fact that she's the CEO of Xirxine already earns her a spot here; moreover, even if she isn't the main antagonist, she would likely still have an arc with Addison

  4. Castello- I don't know if he's an antagonist, but simply being the head of the mafia already deserves a mention

  5. Jestine- She would also be someone who would gain prominence in the future and had a relationship with KayCee

  6. Xanthos- We know practically nothing about him, but from what we've seen, he doesn't seem like a very kind-hearted person, In addition to having been the head of the mafia before Castello

These are just SOME examples, but it's worth highlighting others, such as Adder (who I don't know if he was discarded or not), as well as characters already discarded, like Malvada and Alastor 🗑️

So I ask you, who do you think is the main antagonist in this story? And why do you think that? Or is there another option? Or maybe I'm just slow and don't know out of stupidity? (That last one is dangerously likely 😓) 🤔

Unearthing characters 13 (suggested by u/angel22_exe): Luna

It’s funny; when I’m looking for a character to feature here, I first check for noteworthy traits, then see if they have interesting connections for future editions, and finally check if they’re on the list Angel sent—which requires adding a "suggested by" credit to the title. As it happens, Luna fit all three criteria 🫪

Luna is a vampire-werewolf hybrid (vampire on her mother Venganza’s side, and werewolf on her father Marcus’s side); she has pale, bluish-toned skin and white hair. Being a hybrid, she possesses fangs and wings as well as a wolf form 🧛🐺

There is practically no information about her backstory; all that’s known is that she is the daughter of Marcus (who might be worth an edition of his own, despite the lack of info) and Venganza, with whom she apparently had a good relationship. It’s also worth mentioning Timothy (who would also make for a good edition), her romantic partner (incidentally, Luna, Timothy, and Marcus were all presumably scrapped 😔)

Her personality is described as brave, strong, and free-spirited; she is always trying to prove her worth, having endured a difficult childhood where she was hated simply for who she was 😭
