Duckies or Kittens?

[LunarDrop]

Which umbrella is better?

I cast my vote for Kitties- I remain faithful to the umbrella we have had for so many years.


Votes
Ducks: 8
Kittens: 7

[Kantaki]

Duckitties obviously.:smalltongue::smallbiggrin:

[aurilee]

I'm a fan of the new duckies.

They're much more sophisticated. ^_^

[Jaxzan Proditor]

I prefer the classic look myself. It's a pity it was damaged, but the ducks are still quite nice.

[ClockShock]

Ducks - nicer shading with the new art style

[nyjastul69]

I thought Hello Kitty was appropriate.

[Alchemist_Fire]

I fear change, and I mask this fear with criticisms about Rich Burlew's web comic! I do not like new things!

[Darth Paul]

See? It's official!

[martianmister]

Kitties :smallyuk:

[KorvinStarmast]

Ducks are fine. Why not go for a new look?

[DaggerPen]

The ducks are cute, but I'm far too used to the MitD's old look. Kitties

[littlebum2002]

Redloak chose kitties

MitD chose duckies.

I'll let him pick his own umbrella decoration. duckies

[anjxed]

Kitties. Kittie had fangs, Duckies do not

[Bulldog Psion]

While it's a close-run thing, duckies win out for me. Cats hate getting wet; waterfowl make more sense for an umbrella, IMO. :smallwink:

[Lolo]

Duckies ARE nice!

This is quality logic, right here. Spock's eyebrow would rise in approval.

[Mad Humanist]

Duckies. They are indicative of character growth and new perspectives and greater maturity.

[KillingAScarab]

Kitties! (http://xkcd.com/231/) When I think of glowing eyes in shadows, I think of cats. He's the monster in the dark, not the monster in the duck. ...unless he's the terrible ducksnake (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0322.html)!

[Quild]

MitD picked this one himself, so duckies it is.

[Sylian]

Great Beast in Shadow made a nice choice. Duckies are nice.

[Mightymosy]

Duckies!

What? I can't vote because the message is too short? Well, then let me elaborate on the supe

[Laurana]

I'm really disappointed because I was rooting for bunnies. Or rather, I would have been, if I'd seen it coming.

As it is, and if I was forced to choose, I'd say duckies.

[Rynael]

Duckies

:elan: Appearance changes after a period of time has passed are a great way to provide narrative distance from earlier events.

[Asmodean_]

Always. Kitties.

To prove my point I'm having duck for dinner.

[Kantaki]

Always. Kitties.

:smallconfused:Wouldn't that disprove your point?:smallconfused:

[Gift Jeraff]

:thog: puppies.

[Jay R]

This is the first appearance of the MitD since the art upgrade. And since he's in the darkness, changing the umbrella was crucial, as the only way to upgrade his appearance.

[Yes, I see the edge of the shadow, but that's the appearance of the shadow, not of the MitD. The umbrella represents an upgrade to the MitD, just as the clothes and held objects of other characters are part of their upgrade.]

I'm changing my vote.
Eyepatches.

[Mad Humanist]

So let's get this straight. Kantaki expected Asmodean to eat roast cat, or a nice cat casserole or some other item from the big book of feline gastronomy. Presumably not liver as he would not want Asmodean to overdose on vitamin A.

[KillingAScarab]

I'm changing my vote.
Eyepatches....OK, you're the boss. *starts adding eyepatches to the animals on the umbrella*

[obaryb]

Kitties. Kittie had fangs, Duckies do not

So the more scarier they are. You don't know what innate power they may use to crush you.

Personally I think duckies are a hint as of the species of the MitD. I just cannot figure it out.

Maybe a Quakken (https://wiki.erfworld.com/Quakken).

Well, he did say "Always. Kitties" Choosing to eat duck for dinner kinda contradicts that. Is there a problem with asking for consistency?:smallamused:
That, and it amused me.
Anyway, I prefer duckies over roof rabbits both on the MitD's umbrella and for dinner.

you both blinded me with logic and sound reasoning.
Duckies it is!

[JustWantedToSay]

Kitties. Kittie had fangs, Duckies do not

Although not as pronounced as on geese, ducks actually have teeth, in their beaks and on their tongues!

voting for duckies

[Valynie]

So is the MiTD a girl or a boy ?
Given its choice of umbrellas , I vote for Girl

[Grey_Wolf_c]

That says more about you than it says about MitD. Also, he self-identifies as male (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0549.html) (or at the very least, not-girl).

I meant on the umbrella, the kitties had vampire like fangs while duckies do not

[Killer Angel]

What about an alternance of duckies and kittens?

[JBiddles]

Kitties.

I'm stuck in my ways, god damn it!

[littlebum2002]

What about an alternance of duckies and kittens?

The only possible alternative to duckies or kitties are teacup pigs wearing boots

[Black Socks]

I know that eventually I'll come to like the duckies, but right now.... I just can't handle the kitties being gone.... after being there for so long.... :smallfrown:

[Catullus]

Kitties, because I love cats.

(I also love ducks, but cats win out)

What is the point of this animal? Is it the Cornish Hen of the pork world?

[martianmister]

What is the point of this animal?

To die. Painfully.

Dude, it's a teacup pig. They're utterly adorable pets. Like pygmy hedgehogs. Which would also be awesome on an umbrella.

[Lord Torath]

I meant on the umbrella, the kitties had vampire like fangs while duckies do notActually those are whiskers, not fangs on the Kitty umbrella. It's easier to tell in the Print format (although you can also probably tell in the PDFs)

Sorry. This is a new world to me. In my area, pigs are considered food, not pets. And hedgehogs (aka porcupines) are generally not considered adorable, either, so much as "dangerous".

[Kantaki]

Eh, hedgehogs (the non-porcupine ones.) are alright.
Make great massage balls from what I remember from summer camp.

But I agree on the pigs. Pigs are food. A pig that is to small to be a meal is pointless.
On the other hand they consider horses food in this part of the world so what do I know.

I eat McDonalds hamburgers. For all I know, I may consider horses food. :smallconfused:

Horses are tasty!

And hedgehogs aren't the same thing as porcupines. Porcupines are much more dangerous, and overall larger. They can attack when threatened and have barbed quills that they like to stick in you. Hedgehogs are mostly harmless, pygmy or not. When they're threatened they just curl up into a little spiny ball and are about as dangerous as a stationary cactus.

I'm confused. There are mobile cactus?

[theasl]

I bet someone can dig one up from an old bestiary somewhere.

[aurilee]

The intention was that it was something you could just walk around. As opposed to a cactus being thrown at you or something. For some reason I felt that I needed to clarify this.

But yes, there is also the possibility of a fully-mobile cactus (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cactuar), depending on which universe you call home.

Oh, I remember those cuties! Cacti that hunt you and mow you down with machine gun-like fire using their needles. I bet they make great pets. They can guard your home, you can train them to attack your enemies...

I know I'd want one as a pet.

And to go back on-topic (kinda): MitD's next umbrella (should it exist) would look great with some Cactuars. It'd be like they're running laps around his head! (if he has a head)

(if he has a head)I'm in a FFd20 (http://www.finalfantasyd20.com/ffd20/) game right now... There must be some way I can convince the GM to allow my Elvaan noblewoman a parasol with a Chocobo|Cactuar|Tonberry pattern. :smallwink:

It's a celebrity thing. About 10 years ago celebrities found these really cute pigs that could be kept as pets and not grow very large, and they became a trend. (and, to be fair, they ARE really cute).

Same thing with hedgehogs. One day a celebrity has a teeny hedgehog as a pet, the next day everyone has one.
