#happiest nuclear winter

[7more]

i really don't know why i'm writing this letter. i just think it must be easier than talking about it. you know, whenever i think to myself, "what if this doesn't work out?" the first person i ever think of is you. i hope you never think i only had you around to pass the time. please don't ever think that way.

it's..it's hard to stay focused when i'm with you all the time. and when i'm not with you, i'm thinking about you. i can't get close to people very easily, but i felt close to you instantly. and in spite of everything i've done, i wish you all the happiness in the world.

(i really don't know why i'm writing this letter. i just think...it must be easier than talking about it.)

In case you want to familiarize yourself with The Brobecks song A Letter that's getting redone for IDKHOWs new record

The first ever iteration of the song, at the time called "Globular", it was just a test track with Matt Glass reading out of an encyclopedia but man its vibes are immaculate.

An early demo of A Letter, this ones far closer to the final product and is a personal favorite of mine. (And, if you're wondering. The spoken word segments are as far as I'm aware completely made up of excerpts from a letter an ex wrote Dallon. Or possibly it's the full thing. When asked why he said "spite" lol.)

and finally the finished version of A Letter that appeared on The Brobecks album Happiest Nuclear Winter, this is one of the songs that made me fall in love with the band and it really pulls that alum together. Not a lot of indie bands out there were bold enough to try things like this, especially on a sophomore album hot off the heals of a successful first release. words can't describe how much i'm looking forward to hearing the IDKHOW version of this track, Matt Glass (the original voice of these songs) was in the studio for the album so you know this will be amazing.

I am curious about you're world-building seeing how their beef stew in this world would mean it comes from cows but there like furry people there as well so are there like anthro and feral furry or is there just a mess-up food chain in line lmao and would that mean herbivores can't eat alot of meat or else they get sick or not? Am just really curious so I hope you don't mind me asking all this!

Good question anon! There are indeed regular Earth-style animals in this setting (which I think will be referred to as "beasts"), and they exist alongside the "people" (furries).

As far as the relationship between people and beasts go, that depends. Some feel a sense of kinship with their animal cousins--they can read the animal's body language easier and tend to understand them a little better, so it's not uncommon to see, say, an equine equestrian for this reason.

Others find their beast counterparts to be rather "uncanny valley", similar to how some humans find monkeys creepy, and don't like to be reminded of the resemblance. This tends to be more common for those whose "species" comes packaged with negative stereotypes.

(Side note: @kwillow suggested that in the native language of this setting, there is a difference in how the animal's name and the furry species name is said/written. So someone can say the word "rat" and have zero ambiguity as to whether they're talking about Theo or the critters in his traps… unless they were intentionally trying to insult him, of course. As an English approximation, I figure "Rat" with a capital "R" would indicate a person, "rat" would indicate the animal.)

Back on topic… how strong the association is also varies between culture. In the Western Kingdom, where Hyden is from, the association between person and beast is weaker and it's fairly normal for a Rabbit to eat a rabbit. Maybe a little uncomfortable if they're weird about it, but generally accepted overall. Especially in the colder norther areas where food is more scarce, the idea of turning your nose up at an opportunity for a nutritious meal just because the animal it came from kinda looks like you would be seen as ridiculously wasteful.

That is absolutely not the case in the Eastern Kingdom. They have a HUGE taboo against eating "your own kind" and do view it as cannibalism-adjacent. This is something important to keep in mind when traveling between the two countries or meeting foreign delegates!

As for how a furry's species effects its dietary needs, they're all omnivorous to some degree, but tend to be happiest eating food their species is suited for. Usually.

Poorer classes such as peasants rarely got that much choice, though, and diet is also shaped by culture, so most people just make due with whatever food they have access to. Being a picky eater was a privilege reserved for the upper class. This is even more true in the "present" setting, after the apocalyptic magical "nuclear winter" renders the world far less hospitable… so this "present"-era dinner table with Ridge, Alex, Chicken Lady, and Hyden must have hit the jackpot to have a different type of fresh food available for each of them.

Phew, long writeup! I actually have even more thoughts on how cuisine differs across the different regions and between the "past" and "present" settings (been watching a lot of Tasting History with Max Miller lately and getting some great inspiration) and I will probably cover that topic more in another ask response. Hope that this answered your question, though! Thanks for the ask!
