Well, in Australia rabbits are not considered cute. That’s just the way it is.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Baby wombats and echidnas, once they’ve got fur, are cuter 🙂 Also our neighbours Papilon (I know that isn’t spelt right) puppies are also very cute.</p>
Hey, I’ve got a musical question for you. Do you like sung-through musicals? I was just wondering because all the musicals you talk about aren’t sung through.INFP Queen of the Kingdom commander of an army of origami cranes and a sabre from Babylon.
@seekjustice Ah, okay. It’s a culture thing? In that case I can see why you don’t think it’s cute. 😉
Do you mean musicals like Les Mis which are basically all song and no spoken dialogue?

Australians don’t like rabbits. They’re a plague 🙂
Yep.

@seekjustice Haha, your loss, I guess. 😛 Or your gain…depends on how you look at it.
Okay, so I don’t really like those kinds of musicals. I have a couple of reasons. One is something I’ve mentioned before. I like songs that I can sing simply and around places without worrying they’ll sound weird out of context. The old movie musicals contained that type of songs. Songs like, for example, “Carrying the Banner,” don’t really make sense unless you’re in context, but “Santa Fe” can make sense, because it just describes a normal longing to go somewhere, in that case, Santa Fe.
One reason I really like musicals is that for me, they feel real. A lot of people watch musicals and think, “Why would two guys go to a cemetery, and then sing and dance on the graves?” I think, “That is so completely what I would do if I was in that situation!” However, I would sing a single song, and then talk the rest of the time. I wouldn’t limit myself to singing my entire thoughts and dialogue, like they do in sung-through musicals. That just isn’t feasible, and it wastes a lot of time.
I have another reason…but I’m being called. I’ll probably be back in an hour or so, and I can talk more then. 🙂

@rochellaine I have held a dying baby wild rabbit for my sister before, too! And it looked like that one, except it had a white streak on its head.
*glares at @seekjustice for thinking its not cute* OH, its an Australian thing. *smiles and gives you a chocolate rabbit*Â wait, do you have chocolate bunnies in Australia?
"In a mask, was he?"
I mostly sound weird and out of context anyway, so I’ve given up bothering 😛
I actually think the most unrealistic thing about musicals is that they do something and then sing a completely applicable song. Whereas I go through life singing things that have no application to the context. 😀
Again, I think it comes for me to my love for audio dramas (sung through musicals are just like sung audio dramas!) and my inability to see musicals a lot.
I’m curious about your other reason now.

Rabbits regularly destroy Australia, so the child’s natural love for cute and fluffy rabbits is quashed very effectively from the cradle.
We do eat chocolate rabbits though.

@seekjustice Interesting. Do the rabbits just eat things up?
"In a mask, was he?"
Yep. They’re usually just a pest, they eat crops and compete with native wildlife, but every so often there’s a literal plague of them and they eat everything. I don’t mind pet rabbits, but I can’t abide ferals ones.
I guess they’re okay in America though, since they’re native (I assume?)

@seekjustice Wow. That sounds terrible.  Yes, they are native here.  Your rabbits don’t sound like ours much.
"In a mask, was he?"
I think the reason they’re so bad here is because God didn’t make them as part of this environment. There’s nothing that really eats them or keeps them under control and they breed like crazy.
You know what else is crazy? The fact that we are talking about rabbits on the Writers Corner!

@seekjustice That makes sense. Poor Australia – no native bunnies! Tragic.
*laughs* Yeah, who are those two crazy kids comparing their country’s native animals over there on a writers forum?
"In a mask, was he?"
We do have bilbies though. Do you know what bilbies look like?
Behold the gloriously adorable bilby.
Shush, Ariel. Its research 🙂

@seekjustice Its cute, but I think bunnies are still cuter. It looks more like a mouse.

@seekjustice BTW, are you on pinterest?
