Small Animal News
Sindobook:
We are aware, but honestly, everyone else knows just as much as we do on this topic. Look around.
Publicly, the snake was known for his history of domestic violence and had fathered several illegitimate children. He was well known to the local community of small animals as a danger to everyone. He was believed to be 'into' sadism and domination.
Mind you all these behaviors are considered 'the norm' for snakes. If a small animal protection group was active in his area, and he was spotted, he would be quickly engaged.
Remember that if you must deal with snakes, please be aware and ask around at the local small animal hangouts like parks, bars, cafes, etc. Listening to what others say is the best indication. Just stay out of the coffee shops... definitely avoid the coffee shops, and libraries also.

It's a wordplay on Tsundere. Tsun = nasty, arrogant, or mean; Dere = loving, soft-hearted, or kind. So calling someone "All tsun, no dere" or "Tsun without the dere" obviously means that it's just a nasty or mean person without any redeeming qualities. Though in some circles that may not be an insult.

I don't know if he (Tofu) won or not. I was not there. I don't expect he would have won, honestly a lot of the others were much cuter. We were there for maybe 20 minutes tops on the other day. It was such a yawner that no one wanted to go back.

There is no contradiction. I know what it says but the reason it says that is because she changed. She was Luka that July and Len that August. Both the Rin and Len have Wings. The Luka wears a black and gold dress and golden boots.
Sindobook:
I don't think so, but we'll see if it (really) matters in due time. Success, false success is the greatest threat to those who live under illusions.
And personally, I just don't care. There's honestly no reason for me to care.
With things apparently cooling down, the Lepus alliance has recalled their skeleton crew back to the north to begin operations against the gang in their home area. They say that there haven't been any cats spotted in their safe zone and that it appears the gang is 'clamping down', scaling down their activities to conserve what little fuel is left in their stores.
According to Mikey, the inside word is that Cat W is very close to being ousted as part of P's inner circle. "W's support by the 'rank and file' of the gang has been teetering, and P doesn't think much of him either. W can barely get the other cats to listen to him, much less consider what he says. I don't expect he'll survive through the end of this year." K, the japanese bobtail, is well respected and a threat to P. P isn't terribly fond of him, but having already sold out, he can't get rid of him.

For snakes, this type of 'everyone is out to get me' paranoia is quite common. In reality, snakes are territorial and solitary creatures that make a habit of avoiding other snakes. And it's not uncommon for this general fear of others to extend to any type of animal, to the point that most snakes are simply not capable of any kind of cooperation with other animals.
"It's just not in them. A snake has no understanding of when to back off, when to slither forward, and so on. If two snakes are forced into close proximity with each other, it will almost always end with a fight in which one snake eats the other."
Sindobook:
Yes, and I can verify it. According to Ollie there was no resistance at all, though I wouldn't conclude much else because it's just one guy honestly. It's heavily hierarchical, we already know that.
"With the drop in security issues, the [skeleton crew] was pulled, re-equipped, and reformed as the forward interdiction team. It was sent north, for operations against the gang."
"The maps were made in March, and hence outdated. But knowing that the southeast segment of their territory fell under W's responsibility, all twenty bunnies formed up in a tight formation and advanced. We were not met with any resistance as we could see W's owner's house. But we found the house to be abandoned, with evidence of what looked like a bank foreclosure."
"It didn't take the bunnies long to find a way in, by gnawing through a hastily boarded up window and the house was found to be completely abandoned save for a few rats. Following this, a garrison was set and the house secured as a forward base."
[Honestly it doesn't say much, it doesn't necessarily mean that W is done or anything like that. Just that he no longer lives in that house.]

(Continuation)
"It didn't take long to find out from the local rats that the house had been abandoned for more than a month. A mercenary from the 'black bunny squad' was quick to show up and offer his services to our force when enticed with a small stash of carrots. He was tasked with scouting out the gang's main base (to the northwest) and reporting back the number of cats and any other forces. Before night our intelligence officer met with him and went over photos of some of the prominent (or once-prominent) cats in the gang like Cat Y or others who may be willing to flip with the right enticement."
"At night our first supply team arrived with a bunch of carrots, rope, and fresh water. The mercenary set off and promised us that the would be back by sunrise."
"Mr. Hops, the primary lookout, reported seeing some apparent cat eyes in the dark distance at several points throughout the night. But we couldn't figure out if it was a cat with the gang, an ordinary stray, or someone else."

She will be there, but she has an extreme case of total sociophobia, meaning that despite being (apparently) rather gregarious and active online, she does not interact with or even acknowledge people irl. According to her sister, "this is perfectly normal behavior (for her)."
"The girl sat in the corner, facing the window. She had no will to interact with the group at all. Her only interaction with the world was to occasionally sip her milk tea that her sister had given her earlier in the night. Otherwise she was completely engrossed with her laptop screen and completely ignored the world around her. When it was time to go, her sister tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention, and then she silently closed the laptop and followed her sister out the door."

I don't believe so. I probed and found nothing solid. Whatever went on was just your usual back-and-forth (normal discourse). It wasn't the type of thing you could pin down. So honestly, I wouldn't worrey about it too much at this time.
Sindobook:
Yes, snake E, who works for some local firm (unknown) as a manager. Middle-aged, approx. 40-45 years old (snake years). Was known to be friends with the late snake S, as well as the snake J, but openly states his dislike of nearly all other snakes. Even the generally-outwardly-friendly snake Z. He's never been known to threaten small animals, and most think of him in a similar way to snake Z, ie. "Mostly Harmless".

That is correct, by all outside appearances, he has been 'erased' from the gang. Checking their photos from a year ago (and more), they have been edited / photoshopped, often poorly. In most, his image was simply erased, in one case leaving a cat who had been on his back simply floating in midair, or leaving prominent empty spaces in group shots. In a few cases, his image has been covered with a photo of Cat F. Oddly enough, he still appears in plenty of video releases from the gang, presumably 'erasing' him from video is either beyond their capabilities, or this effort is a work in progress.
This is an unusual measure, in most other cases, those who have been forced out (ie. Cat R, Cat L) typically remain in past photos and literature.
Sindobook:
Yes, he really is. He mentioned the conversation went something like this:
"Oh, by the way, I'm sorrey but your blacklisted from [deleted]."
I don't think he was faking it. And the funny thing is, no one quite knows why. It's totally nonsensical.
He wasn't banned for a reason or because he actually did anything. And he stands out too much to be any kind of sabotage risk, unless
he tries to ninja his way in.
I wouldn't put it past him to still show up. It honestly can't be too hard to slither around whatever incognito safeguards they've tried
to set up. Of course he disavowed all knowledge of that, but we'll see.
Nobody knows what's really going on inside C's head. But if he banned the snake without a reason, he's going to lose a lot more,
because that snake for instance has a pretty good relationship with two of his bunnies, among others. I saw it, they were right in
front of me. Not to mention, a decent sized following among others.

Yes, and times two.
I'd check, but I just don't care.

It was pretty bad. The lighting consisted of a mix of incandescent, 2500K, 2800K, and 3200K. The two setups I used were:
C1 AV f/2.8 ISO3200 EV -2/3 AB 2/3 FC-DNF DR-C C2 M f/2.8 1/100 ISO800 FEC -1/3 C3 AV f/2.8 ISO2500 FEC -1
C1 AV f/2.8 ISO1600 FEC -2/3 C2 M f/2.8 1/100 ISO800 FEC -1/3 C3 AV f/2.8 ISO2500 FEC -1
flash set to 3200K.

It got a CID match, so I deleted it.
I'll upload it to an alternate account soon. I know CID can be defeated, but it's easier to just upload it to an alt.
The sad thing is, it's a guy standing right there playing a melody from a song on a keyboard. Recorded through a video camera. Just the base melody, no lyrics or anything. And somehow it gets a CID match. Something's screwed up with that, but go figure.

Yes, shortly after I posted it, I got a pm from one of the small animals saying that one of the Akiba didn't want his face shown in the video and asking me to obscure it. So I made it private, I'll see if I can do that on youtube and if not, I'll do it over the weekend. I don't have the video editing software to do that, but I know a few people who probably do.

Quite simple really, that dog, like a lot of English Springer Spaniels, is over prone to 'rage syndrome'. If baited, even slightly, he will 'blow up' and begin behaving aggressively toward people. These fits include loud barking, growling, and lurching/charging at animals and even people who happen to be close by. It's become so well-known that many have made it a sport to bait him to see what he will do next, since the episodes tend to be rather humorous and draw a lot of attention.
From Mikey: "If he takes over, you can be pretty sure he'll kill it. I'm not sure why anyone would want that dog in charge."
