@Leucrotta Oooooh!
I know I've heard "we walk on two legs, not on four, to walk on four legs breaks the Law" before, but I can't place it... what's it from again? Great quote. And really nice art!
(I /defy/ the Law. *bares fangs*)
@IceWolf Oingo Boingo track, "No Spill Blood" - it's a reference to The Island of Dr. Moreau, which was kinda cynically very furry/otherkin friendly before the terms existed.

@IceWolf I've quoted this before. It's actually *not* my favorite Oingo Boingo track, and of course I only got into Oingo Boingo very recently - this is stuff that definitely wouldn't have shown up in Georgia in the 80s!
@Leucrotta Ooh, that's neat, thanks!
Cynically? *cocks an ear*
@IceWolf The book's the first example of "uplifted" animals as a science fiction theme, and it came out right when Victorians, who had a very nastily hierarchical view of nature, started being a *lot* more conscious of animal rights.
So Moreau alters animals to grant them human style sapience and bodies, but he's also completely vicious - and he insists on them behaving in the most human fashion possible as part of his own despotism. The book's very much sympathetic to the animal-people.
@Leucrotta eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
