uh, okay. i'm very scared to ask but : rabbit that's not really a rabbit...?
yeah, there's, like. a small god, shaped like a rabbit, that lives in my yard. I would say it's a normal rabbit except it's not. It won't move from my driveway if I'm trying to drive out and it was there first. I can walk up within a few feet of it, and it will turn and just look at me like what do you want? It's the only rabbit that freaks the hell out of all my birds, they CANNOT be directed or communicated with when this rabbit comes around, they will do nothing but stand on alert and stare at it making a soft warning call. I've caught it SEVERAL times now standing nose to nose with one of my peacocks, and it just looks at me and walks away when I catch them. hawks and falcons and eagles and owls constantly pass over my yard, and it is full of rabbits that do not hide from them, and I've never seen evidence of one being taken. You know the moment you walk into a very dark room and maybe it's a room you've been in before and maybe you don't believe in ghosts, but also it's still dark and your little leftover lizard hindbrain goes "anything could be inside of here waiting for me" the second before you turn on the light? It's like that feeling, except in the shape of a rabbit. i didn't ask for any of that.
Throwback to when I had to take my rabbit to the vets to get neutered, when I picked him up the next day he convinced himself that he was dying so refused to eat and stared at me like I’d give them back if he was good. Still a drama queen 3 years later
i held off introducing my version of usagi for so long ckska
he met leo when they were 13 and leo was stealing toys from his family's shop. he was understandably upset but befriend him after finding out it was for his missing brothers.
he's not appearing in the canon comic because i want the comic to be family focused and to stay with the show 💖 he will only appear in side content of LM~ also i'm a taller usagi truther because leo needs his ego knocked down :P and he's a gnc king ✨️

I'd like to introduce everyone to this little fella!
This is most likely an eastern cottontail, though there is some debate that it may be a new england cottontail but that's unlikely.
Now normally I am very against feeding/interacting with wildlife on regular occasions but this guy is a special case.
See I'd been going out to put seed out for wild birds for a few months now, sitting nearby to take pictures of them to the point that they'll land around me, fly over when they hear my footsteps and just have a general understanding that I'm not going to hurt them.
Then I notice a little bunny hop out from under the brush a bit wary, but I stay still so I don't scare it and can hopefully get some pictures. He ended up, over a few days getting more familiar and eventually tipping over the scoop I use for the bird feed while being less than a foot away.
It really is a neat thing for wild animals to come to the understanding that you aren't going to hurt them, just enough trust to hang around you.
He's absolutely adorable and I love this little fella
I might touch up a couple lines but the panels turned out great. I really like that the plum tree life cycle doesn’t exactly line up with the rabbits’, but it fits perfectly at the same time???
here it is with the lid. I think I’ll leave it uncarved
