Verse One- The Good Life. Bugs Bunny is an acclaimed actor who has two shows in which he stars: Bunny Toons, the slapstick shorts for young children, and a more older audience-centered sitcom, Rabbit Season. Bugs, mostly seen in casual Hawaiian shirts and shorts, strives to be humble and easygoing; he tries not to let all the fame and attention go to his head, but it’s definitely not always easy. (In this verse, he’s in his thirties and co-exists with characters like Daffy, Lola, Porky, etc, as well as humans. He lives with Daffy in the same house as shown in The Looney Toons Show, but in California.)
More verses TBA! Biography under the cut!
Byron “Bugs” Edwin Bunny was born in a Brooklyn, New York suburb on July 27th to Barnaby and Edith Bunny.
An only child, Bugs (nicknamed as such by a family friend) was frequently found bouncing excitedly around his parents’ diner after school and occasionally on the weekends, keeping waiting customers busy by telling jokes and distracting them from their troubles, if they shared them. The boy was clever and intelligent for his age, and he learned quickly that, if he could entertain them long enough for them to be patient for their food- due to a low amount of reliable employees- he’d be buying his parents time to get people’s meals ready.
By the time Bugs was of middle school-age, he was teaching himself to do impressions (and cross-dressing to help with it!) using his knowledge of sewing and running errands for his neighbors; he had his mind set on becoming a famous actor and comedian, and all before he turned 25.
Still trying to help with his parents’ business, he was pretty busy between that and school. However, he handled the pressure quite well most of the time, when he was 14 and the restaurant finally closed down, he started putting on shows in the garage or on the porch, thinking of the latter as a ‘stage’; this turned out to be very successful, so Bugs decided to split his weekend show earnings- when the shows were most attended- between himself and either his mother or father, depending on what they needed for the week, sometimes simply giving all of it to them.
Barnaby and Edith, now each with their own jobs, surprised their ambitious son on his 16th birthday with tickets to one of Chicago’s most famous theaters; Bugs took the trip with his uncle, Bernie, and saw Seattle’s Sunday Slums, a play about a young woman (who actually would become his friend later on) who becomes her church choir’s director in the poorest parts of Seattle to keep the group from disbanding. There were parts of the production that stuck out more than others to him, such as the girl’s spunky acting and her flair for drama at just the right level when it was called for, and the whole thing was enough to spark a finality in Bugs’ head.
He was going to start his career right now.
Drama club, the school’s short and silly podcasts, and leading roles in plays followed… and not just there. He was offered to do small-ish roles in a trio group in hospitals for ill patients, for example.
Immediately after graduation, Bugs threw himself into acting lessons and a part-time fast food job. He didn’t really like that job, but he was living on a limited budget anyway, so he had to do it. He didn’t need the lessons for too long, to say the least, and he was 20 when he decided he didn’t need them anymore.
He found his agent- his first and current agent- Bob O’Hara, whom Bugs didn’t know he’d helped cheer up after heart surgery when the rabbit had recently turned 17 and was doing a short skit with two friends. They bumped into each other at a restaurant, where Bob was celebrating his 30th anniversary with his wife, Ellie, and he saw 21-year-old Bugs sit down with his father and uncle, also celebrating something, but it was his father’s birthday. Bob hated to interrupt them, so when he noticed that the bunny had gotten down from the bar, he briefly excused himself and called his name.
When Bugs turned, Bob grinned.
“Wow… boy, you haven’t changed too much, son.”
The other turned to face him, puzzled. “Uh… y’sure ya got ‘da right guy, Mistah? I don’t wanna be-”
“That’s alright, Mr. Bugs Bunny. I wouldn’t expect you to remember me.”
“You know my name…?” He wasn’t well-known yet in the world of entertainment, having only recently had a bit role as a hot dog vendor for a kids’ TV series. How did-
Bob chuckled. “You were one of the kids that came and lifted me outta the gutter in the hospital after my surgery! Of course I remember you!”
Slowly, Bugs perked up, and then he beamed like a lightbulb had appeared above him. “Oh, gee, I do know ya! Sorry ‘bout ‘dat, Doc.”
As they shook hands, Bob quirked a brow, his laugh dying down. “‘Doc’? Where’d you get that, kid?”
“I picked it up in one a ‘da plays I was in. I was this dumb ol’ doctah who screwed a lotta things up, caused a few problems in th’ clinic… n’ it just kinda stuck!”
Bob continued the conversation, thanking him for helping with the depression he’d been feeling, and, grinning, revealed that he was a talent agent in the Hollywood industry. When he saw Bugs’ eyes light up, though trying not to get too excited, Bob laughed.
The rest, as they say, is history.
As of now, in his main verse, Bugs has had several television roles, some longer-lasting than others, was a prominent figure in three movies, and is now working on his first starring film role… and is working on his two TV series!
"If it makes you feel any better, I forgot my reading glasses." (For Malina AHA)
“Readin’ glasses? Lina, it’s hot out here! How could ya even try readin’? Dat sun’s gonna cook us- I’ll turn inta rabbit stew!”
Clearly he was a little grumpy that he’d left his sunglasses at home… but at least he had light, loose-fitting clothes on.
“Jus’ walkin’ on da sidewalk burns,” Bugs mumbled, then cracked a half-smirk. “An’ then there’s you wit’ them fancy sandals. Lemme guess: Llama Boy got ‘em for ya?”
"Excuse you! I need to read at all times. The Sun rays will do you some good, you'll be fine. If not... well... it means I get free food." Malina rolls her eyes and tries so hard to suppress a smile, amused at the bunny's distress. To be fair, some rabbit stew doesn't sound bad at all. Hm.
The girl raises an eyebrow as her brown eyes glanced down her feet and then at Bugs. "Not my fault you didn't want the shoes I got for you. And wha- no he didn't! Why would he?!" She lies. How did he know that anyways?!
"Ugh whatever. W-We can stop by and get a new pair of sunglasses for you so you stop being a drama queen. How about that?"
“Lina, I don’t wear shoes,” Bugs reminded her, also raising a brow. “But dis is crazy! Oh, an’ for your information, I go for walks every day, as long as it’s not, say… like this!”
He chuckled, cocking his head to one side. “Or when I’m not workin’ on a’ my shows…”
On a side note, in his head, he didn’t press her on the gift-giver of her sandals. He wouldn’t have wanted to be questioned, either.
Bugs did partially drop an ear, though, taking the collar of his big yellow Hawaiian shirt and fanning himself with it. “…sometimes I think I work too much on ‘em, but then I remembah da pay I get for each episode a’ Rabbit Season, especially. It helped with gettin’ Sylvester’s birthday present last week!”
He decided to be a little bit of a playful bragger and quipped, “not that I don’t have da money ‘ta get folks gifts, though. Kinda like you, now dat I think of it! I’m gonna hafta bring it next time we meet up.

IDOL
❛ Haha yeah I’m fine. Just crying in the company bathroom stall again, it’s basically part of the schedule at this point. ❜
❛ If one more person tells me to ‘just smile more,’ I will simply evaporate into the void. ❜
❛ I love being called a ‘national treasure’ while my mental health is actively being repossessed. ❜
❛ I have an angelic voice? Yeah I better, I sold my soul two comebacks ago. ❜
❛ Haha no worries, I didn’t want free will anyway. ❜
❛ I can’t remember the last time I was just… myself. ❜
❛ They don’t love me, they love the version of me I’ve been forced to play. ❜
❛ Every smile I give feels like a mask I can’t take off. ❜
❛ I’m surrounded by fans, but I’ve never felt lonelier. ❜
❛ I’ve given them everything, and somehow it’s still never enough. ❜
❛ When the lights go out, I feel like I disappear too. ❜

❛ I look in the mirror and don’t recognize who’s staring back at me. ❜
❛ I’m not sure anyone remembers who I was before the fame. ❜
❛ Sometimes I wonder if my smile looks more serial killer or more hostage situation. ❜
❛ If I collapse on stage, just tell them it was part of the choreography. ❜
❛ Yeah I’m totally living the dream … if the dream is capitalism in glitter. ❜
❛ Why do fans keep saying I look tired? Bestie, that’s not a look, that’s a lifestyle. ❜
❛ Every time I bow, I’m also spiritually collapsing. Multi-tasking queen. ❜
❛ The company said ‘no dating,’ so now I’m in a committed relationship with burnout. ❜
❛ If I smile any harder, my jaw is going to file for workers comp. ❜
❛ Sometimes I wonder if disappearing would even matter… or if they’d just replace me. ❜
❛ I can’t tell if I’m loved or if I’m just entertainment. ❜
❛ Sure I’m loved by millions, but can I be loved by a nap? ❜
❛ My therapist said I should set boundaries, and I told her I don’t have the rights to those. ❜
❛ Yeah, I’m fine. By fine I mean emotionally concussed but still sparkly. ❜
❛ Who needs therapy when you have a fandom shipping you with your bandmates? ❜
❛ Don’t worry, if I burn out completely, the company will just rebrand me as a tragic backstory. ❜
❛ I can’t believe people ship me with my bandmate… actually, never mind, I totally can. ❜
❛ The fans think I’m secretly dating someone but I don’t even have time to secretly sleep. ❜
❛ Honestly, if you’re going to stalk me, at least buy merch first. Support small businesses. ❜
❛ Imagine being accused of having a sugar daddy when I can’t even afford boba. ❜
❛ The company told me to act innocent, but my resting face is literally “guilty.” ❜
❛ Dating scandal? No, babe, I’m just socially awkward and stood too close. ❜
❛ Honestly, if I get canceled, I hope it’s for something cool. Like summoning demons. ❜
❛ I can’t wink without breaking someone’s heart. It’s a gift and a curse. ❜
❛ I stayed up all night thinking of captions… still none were worthy of my brilliance. ❜
❛ I think people think I’m mysterious, but I honestly just forgot my lines again. ❜
❛ Cute? Yeah. Innocent? Absolutely not. ❜
❛ Honestly, I don’t even have competition. I am the standard. ❜
❛ They should be grateful just to breathe the same air as me. ❜
❛ I don’t practice to improve. I practice so I don’t get bored. ❜
❛ Every stage is mine the second I step on it. ❜
❛ The industry doesn’t deserve me, but here I am anyway. ❜
❛ You can’t rush art, and I am… art. ❜
❛ Don’t tag me in that picture, my hair looks criminal. ❜
❛ Which angle makes me look more like a legend? Left or left? ❜
❛ Hi! Hi! Did you eat? Drink water? Stretch?? ❜
❛ I’m just happy to be here—actually no, I’m thrilled! ❜
❛ Oh my gosh, I love your outfit, it’s so… you! ❜
❛ I baked cookies! Don’t ask if they’re edible, just take one! ❜
❛ Life’s too short to frown, so smile with me, okay? ❜
❛ Pretty stage dresses feel like straightjackets. ❜
❛ Wanna arm wrestle? No cameras, I just want to prove I can. ❜
❛ I clean up well, but don’t get used to it. ❜
❛ Ugh, I’m not leaving this couch for less than a paycheck. ❜
❛ Want me to carry that for you? No, really, it’s like a warm-up set. ❜
❛ If I miss one workout, I feel like I’m betraying my muscles. ❜
❛ I’m everyone’s sweetheart on stage, everyone’s nightmare off stage. ❜
❛ I promise I’ll be my best self… eventually. ❜
❛ Sure, I’ll wear the dress. Just don’t expect me to sit still in it. ❜
❛ You think I look scary? Good. Means you’re paying attention. ❜
❛ I’m not here to be soft. I’m here to be unforgettable. ❜
❛ My parents told me to “tone it down,” so I got louder. ❜
❛ Don’t call me delicate. I’ll break before I bend. ❜
❛ If confidence looks like arrogance, then fine, I’m arrogant. ❜
❛ My favorite accessory is attitude. ❜
❛ If I don’t fit the mold, maybe the mold is the problem. ❜
MANAGER
❛ You’re adorable. You’re also an insomniac menace. Balance that. ❜
❛ Smile like you’re happy, not like you’re plotting a homicide please. ❜
❛ I know you secretly hate the fluffy photo shoots but can you please just cooperate? ❜
❛ Stop arguing with the choreographer. Just dance. ❜
❛ The outfit isn’t negotiable. You look fine. Stop sulking. ❜
❛ I know you think it’s unfair but the schedule doesn’t bend for anyone. ❜
❛ Stop staring at the fans like that. You’re making them uncomfortable. ❜
❛ I don’t want excuses about the lines. You’ve had weeks to memorize them. ❜
❛ Hydrate. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. If you skip one, you ruin everything. ❜
❛ I don’t care if you’re “not feeling it” get out there and perform. ❜
❛ This isn’t personal. You’re just part of a machine. Handle it. ❜
❛ You think I don’t notice you skipping meals? Eat. For me. ❜
❛ Stop staring at your phone. I’m worried you’re overthinking every comment. ❜
❛ Get your rest tonight. No, seriously. I mean it. Sleep. ❜
❛ You’re going to be cranky tomorrow if you don’t eat. Trust me, the fans don’t want a cranky performance. ❜
❛ I know you’re anxious about the performance, but you’re not allowed to talk yourself out of it. ❜
❛ I know you want to do everything perfectly, but you’re human. Even the fans know that. ❜
❛ Stop rolling your eyes. You’re not the only one stressed. And yes, I’m stressed too. ❜
❛ You can complain, sulk, or glare at me all you want but I’m not letting anything happen to you out there. ❜
❛ I can see you’re frustrated. Let’s take five, breathe, and then kill that stage. ❜
❛ If you stumble on stage, it won’t be the end of the world. I’ll still be proud of you. ❜
❛ I can see how exhausted you are, and it terrifies me. Please… rest. ❜
❛ You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be you, and that’s enough for me. ❜
❛ If you cry tonight, I’ll sit with you. I don’t care where or when. ❜
RIVALS
❛ Congrats on the win… must feel nice to finally beat us once. ❜

(🥕) I’ve been watching The Looney Toons Show- “toons” and “tunes” are probably gonna get mixed up a LOT- but I do have a few headcanons for Bugs now! They’re both inspired by the two episodes I watched tonight
- Smooth jazz (in the pilot) is ok, but he likes big band stuff more.
- He usually has to lock his bedroom door at night because, if he doesn’t, Daffy will barge in at 2am and wake him up to ask questions like, “hey, Bugs, what’s your favorite planet? Mine’s Jupiter. I like the name. Joop-itter. It sounds funny! Oh- can I borrow ten bucks, by the way? I wanna get one of those shirts at the mall tomorrow that says ‘YOU DO U’!”
- He LOVES carrot soup, but only eats carrots themselves for the ‘I’m a rabbit’ joke-thing.
