Salt, Pepper, and The Adventures of Schizobunny - A containment thread, because Bad Webcomics has been laughing at this bitch for half a year straight now.

[Squawking Macaw]

there's no way any character here would throw or take so much as a punch without several pages of everyone crying about it.

Maybe that's how the author pads the page number.

Nuzlockes actually predate Minecraft hardcore, as crazy as it might sound.

Yep, the original Nuzlocke comic predates Minecraft hardcore by a year or so.

It took her several hundred pages to get to the second badge? How can someone write this much filler? WTF was she writing about that it took so long to get there?

A lot of angst, I think. It's standard for this slop genre. It is really not that uncommon to spend hundreds of pages without more than two badges, even in games without stupid pacing (Sinnoh and Kalos get a pass because their badge timelines are all kinds of fucked up).

Wait, if there's no humans in the Pokemon comic, who the hell's giving them badges and shit

I think she just got rid of the badges lmao.

the main rule of Nuzlocke is releasing a Pokémon after it faints.

and yet SnP is such a pussy that she even skirts this fundamental rule by playing on literal easy mode and letting her revive up to 3 teammates if they die...

...which has happened exactly once, so far, to the main protagonist. Because SnP kept in her Water/Ground type, a typing with no weaknesses except for one major one, on an opponent with nothing but moves and multipliers on that type.

dozens, yes. hundreds, no. You have to use a lot of filler to get to hundreds of pages without having two badges, and at this point, you should not be making a Nuzlocke comic, but just an original comic. If you are spending hundreds of pages for something that takes one to two in-game hours, you're doing something wrong.

I am too busy this week to look into it, but you've piqued my curiosity. As someone with a lot of experience with Nuzlocking, writing and editing to trim the fat out of a narrative, I need to see how she has achieved hundreds of pages for what is about two hours* of gameplay if you know what you're doing. Would this thread enjoy a read-along/analysis of Finding Your Roots? I am unsure how I would be formatting this, as I've never had to do this for a webcomic compared to a fanfiction published on AO3.
*Correction: I have just noticed this is an Omega Ruby nuzlocke and not RSE. The game might be a bit slower, but this still would be three or four hours or gameplay if you've already played before and know where you're going.

LOL what a coward she is. Three revives? Playing Omega Ruby, which is one of the easiest game/gen to nuzlocke on (gen6 is incredibly easy, both for casual playthroughs and nuzlockes)? And she's already used one, because she's an idiot who won't switch out her Marshtomp against a grass attacker? If you told me this nuzlocke was made with the express goal of pissing off the faggot that is Jan PokemonChallenges, I would believe you.

I can't speak for the whole thread, but I'd probably read it. Especially if you're familiar with this stuff, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. These comics have been getting more frustrating than funny to read as of late, so they deserve as many kickings as they can get.

I'm pretty curious too, because I kind of just skimmed over how insane hundreds of pages for two badges is. Forget Yandere Dev probably dying of old age before he adds the tenth rival to his shitty game, SnP is probably going to pass before she's halfway through the Pokemon League.
Oh god, how much do you wanna bet she's going to add gay drama between Archie and Maxie?

A buttload of cash. It'll be especially weird because, if I've got her world's rules right, Archie would be a fucking fish and her Maxie is already a camel.

For reference, the death I linked you is on page 342. That death comes at a battle underneath Cycling Road, which is halfway between Brawly (second gym) and Wattson (third gym).

It took her 342 pages to get halfway to the third gym.

I think the easiest way to tell when an artist has BAD same face/body syndrome is when they try to draw Pokemon, because what the hell is this thing?

This is even funnier if you consider that most pre-evolved Pokemon are composed of basic shapes and that even young children can draw them. You have to go out of the way to mess it up.

(Which reminds me that I thought Niko from Pipe Up was a corgi instead of a weasel in the alter reveal. Weasels also aren't particularly hard to draw.)

Man how did she fuck that one up?

 

[PyrrhicRustle]

In short, SaltNPepperBunny is a twenty-something furry with three rabbits and an obsession with normalizing very dangerous mental illness. She isn't a cow at least, not yet: she's relatively composed behavior-wise and seems to be mature enough to prevent public tantrums or spirals into one thing or another, but she's somewhat unstable and very delusional. The main point of interest in this case is her body of work.

Everything else aside, what the fuck do “ace rights” mean?

Everything else aside, what the fuck do “ace rights” mean?

“Ace” is short for asexual. In theory this should mean people who don’t have a sex drive or just don’t want to fuck. But because views on sex are so screwed these days, it exists on a “spectrum”. So you basically have people saying “I’m asexual, but I still like masturbation and occasional sex!” No, no, that’s just you not being a horndog. And often people get obnoxious about it, as the alphabet brigade tends to do. I know pride parades are already cringe at best, but somehow having a bunch of people holding up signs saying “Let’s just cuddle uwu!” And “I’d rather eat cake!” just gives me so much secondhand embarrassment. Literally the closest thing I’ve actually seen to asexual “oppression” is some chick’s marriage being destroyed because she didn’t want to have sex with her husband, ever. Maybe there was more to it, I don’t remember, but there you go.
Edit: just remembered this could also include aromantic, where they don’t even want to have a relationship (which can go hand in hand with asexuality? Idfk), and people like that can arguably be even more obnoxious. Here are some examples of one such case.

Spoiler

TLDR: “Ace rights” is not wanting to have sex or be pressured into having sex at best, feeling entitled to not seeing (usually straight) people kissing at worst.

Honestly I couldn't tell what animal it was, my brain just defaulted to "corgi" because there are so many markings. I know that furries tend to have to make their animals into sparklewolves at any opportunity but it probably wouldn't kill them to stick to 1-2 colors and only have 0-1 unique markings.

I don't blame you, mainly because I couldn't tell that Quinn is supposed to be a wolf. I have no idea how someone manages to fuck up a wolf, THE go to for like 80-90% of furries. His face shape and markings just made me think of some weird boar creature for a while.

Quinn

She gave her edgy wolf guy the name of a retarded feminist journalist?

It’ll be like when an otherkin starts waxing on about how they’re an angel/demon/dragon/hagfish/whatever, and could absolutely tear you apart if they weren’t trapped in this mortal body. And this is being told to you by a white college girl with dangerhair (skinny or obese) or an overweight dude.
Man, do otherkin still exist? Or did they all turn into DID fakers?

 

[Friendly Primarina]

I only just noticed that the Nuzlocke is of Omega Ruby. That's amazing. Not only is she being a pussy and giving herself revives, she's playing the most baby easy game out of a series for literal children.

how is it that even the mild pages are dangerously stupid

The stupid rabbit is just a mech at this point, the body is a suit that all of the personalities are piloting. How on earth does SnP actually think this is decent representation? Do actual systems act this insufferable?

Actual systems? Not sure. The ones on TikTok who claim to have a frat house of genderspecials and fictional characters living in their heads? 100%

So nobody notices these wild and jarring changes in personality? Kai realized something was up before Piper revealed herself but none of schizobunny's other friends notice this? Niko and Harper seem to hang around completely different cliques and Piper has amnesia when another personality is "out." There's apparently never been a moment of "Hey, dude. Wanna hang out?" "Who tf are you?" Besides, Niko and Harper don't seem to be trying particularly hard to be Percy.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Bird and Turd are so obnoxious that I actually started missing Piper. She seems to be the only one who is even halfway reasonable (relatively speaking).

I went through Pipe Up! from the start to see if there were any pages I hadn't seen and wtf is this?

Am I supposed to believe this town is one step away from lynching the gays when this thing is allowed to work in a school?
