Shell-ebrate with us as our snack-gobbling queen, Ivy, turns 12 this month! 🎉🦦💞This bright blonde sea otter was found as a stranded pup on Cayucos State Beach by our Sea Otter Program and became a part of our otter family in 2012. Named after a character in John Steinbeck's “The Grapes of Wrath”, Ivy steals hearts with her playful antics and otterly charming personality. In addition to being an amazing animal ambassador, she's also a sea-riously sensational surrogate mom to other stranded otter pups that are rescued and released. Happy Birthday, Ivy, you marvelous mustelid!
its a poll for judging the hottest fictional bear.
2. but isnt there already a tumblr bear poll?
yeah ^_^ but many of us, including fat people like me, feel that that poll wasn't honoring what the bear community represents
3. okay so what is a bear/what does the bear community represent?
a bear is a fat hairy gay man. a musclebear is a large and muscular hairy gay man. the bear community is a subculture within gay culture that celebrates these body types, particularly as they are not celebrated within mainstream culture.
4. ok so who can i submit?
fictional characters who fit either of the two above physical descriptions. canonical gayness not required. this is tumblr, we can use our imaginations. OH ALSO PLEASE SUBMIT CHARACTERS WHO ARE 18+. i wont include them if theyre not.
if your favourite character(s) is not a bear, but an otter (which is a hairy guy who is smaller/skinnier than a typical bear) you may submit them over at @hotterotterpoll. otters are super great and deserve representation, but as this poll was mostly made in response to exclusion of fat bodies from another tournament, i will not be accepting those who better fit the definition of otter here. i am, however, very glad to be associated with this bracket and i wish your otterly otter-able signifcant otters the best of luck :)

It was half-past eleven in the city of London, and in a cozy little flat on Baker Street, a weasel played the violin.
