It looks like Puck is having so much fun! While he was enjoying the amusement park Nealwhale and I climbed a (very small) mountain!
NEALWHALE! EATER OF SHIPS AND CONQUEROR OF MOUNTAINS!

I LOVE THAT STORY. Want more ASAP please!
BTW-Jo doesn’t post here much during the day so allow me to share with you guys that Puck has finally arrived at her house and he looks totally ready for the #RogueBisonRoadTrip this weekend! There’s a pic of him on Twitter in her backyard (I think, LOL). So excited!!

So I’m trying not to cry on my last day of work, and so I sat down and wrote this:
Once upon a time fans of a television show experienced a great trauma. In their sadness they retreated to the world of Castle Tallahassee, breaking into the factions of Hope and Pessimism where they each contemplated the state of the world and either hoped for a miracle, or battened down the hatches for the inevitable oncoming disaster. Amidst all of this came a train, a train that called to both sides, whether hopeful or not, one that rallied together every person who asked “Why”, every person who had been watching and observing their once great show and found themselves with questions that refused to be answered. This was the Great Conspiracy Train, and it chugged along the tracks towards Finale Juncture, towards an ending that worried all involved.
The passengers of the train wanted answers. They felt that their once great show was keeping secrets from them, secrets about why the Great Sadness had come, secrets about why the Creators had demanded such a great sacrifice from them. To the passengers of the Conspiracy Train they felt that there was a much larger story brewing below the surface, one that appeared in glimpses through interactions and interviews by the Creators after the Great Sadness had arrived. The passengers were steadfast in their belief that the story would make itself known in time, all they had to do was continue their journey on the Great Conspiracy Train and eventually their answers would be found.
The weary passengers on the train could see the path ahead, that the tracks guiding their journey were leading not to answers or to a miracle, but to a great, infinite sadness that would take away all their precious hope. Sad Town was the end of the line, and while a few passengers had resigned themselves to that final destination, some would not be content with that fate. Instead they called out to the land to intervene, to send a herd of rogue bison to block the path to Sad Town and instead divert the Conspiracy Train to parts unknown. Perhaps a ranch amongst the great plains where hope and light and family would prevail and bonfires and s’mores could be enjoyed. This was their great wish as the passengers continued down the tracks towards Finale Juncture.
As the Great Conspiracy Train came closer to Finale Juncture a great madness set upon the land. All sense of reason had been lost and the passengers found themselves lost both amongst their own minds and each other. In their madness Finale Juncture was renamed Lunacy Junction and for a short while the passengers cared not what path the great Conspiracy Train took, only that soon it would all be at an end.
The land watched this madness unfold and wanted to grant its people the salvation they so longed for, but found that it was beyond it’s power. Instead the land tried to muster a great herd of rogue bison to prevent the inevitable journey to Sad Town, but all that answered its call was one lone bison, a tiny thing that was more likely to be crushed by the oncoming Conspiracy Train that to delay it.
The passengers on the train broke from their madness at the sight of the tiny bison, so far away from its herd. They brought him aboard the train and named him Puck, for he seemed adventurous and mischievous in trying to delay a whole train by himself. Puck warmed the hearts of not only the passengers of the great train, but also those who had stayed behind in the safety of Castle Tallahassee. Puck became a beacon of hope to those who feared the inevitable Sad Town Station, as even though it was a place none wanted to be, at least they would have Puck, and nothing could be truly sad with Puck in their lives.
Puck began to travel, to send his hope through the world, touching not only the passengers on the Conspiracy Train, but those still sheltered in Castle Tallahassee and beyond. Puck on his own was not enough to stop the train’s arrival in Sad Town, but his very presence helped to ease the pain. He travelled amongst people who did not know of his origins, or of the sad friends he had left behind in Sad Town. They posed for pictures with him, distracted by his cuteness, never knowing the joy they were bringing to the residents of that far away town.
And thus Puck became the spokesbison for a small group who were just trying to make it through the Great Sadness. Instead of focusing on their sorrow they could think of Puck and revel at his adventures, perhaps with the possibility that he would bring his joy to their doorstep himself one day.
And this was how the Great Sadness begat the Conspiracy Train, and how a tiny rogue bison came forward to ease the sadness of a peoples. And lo, it was good.

Puck and Lizards. How wonderful.
Are lizards bad? I am confused…

That’s right! Puck can still switch to twitter, I believe tumblr has an option to connect with twitter or something. I chose twitter, cause it was a bit easier for my purposes.
No… that probably won’t happen… I’m not even on twitter myself, so I’m not really enthused to jump ship. I prefer having all of Puck’s pictures in a blog instead of however twitter does it (it even has a domain now! http://www.wherethebuffaloroams.net), so I’m probably staying there for the foreseeable future.

LETS JUST HAVE THEM ALL AND HAVE A PARTY AND A ZOO PARTY AND FORGET ALL ABOUT WHATEVER ELSE IS HAPPENING ON SOMETHING CALLED ONCE UPON A SHIP.
I LIKE ONCE UPON A SQUISHABLE BETTER.
It will be like our own ark! We shall have one of everything (because they’re stuffed and don’t need to reproduce and genders are arbitrary). It will save us from the flood of terrible writing!

Hettie’s got her own twitter page: https://twitter.com/HettieHedgehog
Now I wish I had twitter (or Puck had twitter) to follow Hettie! We need our squishable friends to network with each other!

My vote is for moose, humpack or manatee. We need more variety in this zoo!

Yeah we are becoming the SF version of National Geographic for stuffed animals, we need to tell lauren that there is also penguin. I also like Nessie, but there is only in big version.
There’s a mini version of Nessie for pre-order. Also, I think we should each have our own animal. Make it a real zoo in here. XD
(the things we talk about in this thread)
What do you mean RG? We only talk about things very important to SF here. Like rogue animals. They would have cared deeply about rogue animals.

I have good news, i may have the chance of getting a female puck or a female Nealwhale.
If you’re going to do a “Female Nealwhale” I think you should go with the Humpback whale. It looks more female (which is why I went with the Blue Whale for Nealwhale), and would make they similar, yet different.
