I dunno if you or some other folks saw Fudge-ler on my main. She was a my designated Once-ler I got from the absolute godsend IstheOncelerFandomStillAlive blog.
I was gonna be hush hush about her before but since I’m not making a blog for her and she might eventually be forgotten, here is some of the details.
Im a simple man...I like for the title of the Once-ler to have deeper meanings or in this case...double meanings.
So this is Fudge. If you look up the definition of “fudge” you might get a good idea of what she’s like.
She’s super sweet and makes Truffufudge™ and other treats with materials from truffula trees. She’s got an official cookbook and baking videos featuring herself.
She’s a bit of an older lady...probably mid 30′s going on 40′s. She’s motherly and kind and her brands make everyone smile! Everyone adores her and she’s a household name.
Nobody really knows how she conducts her business or what she’s like when the cameras aren’t rolling. She’s extremely wealthy and runs her company impeccably and strictly. Rumors have circulated about her employees being manipulated or treated unfairly but who believes that? Nothing about her in the news or in the tabloids or any magazines have ever suggested that. Surely people are just trying to sully her good name!
Well...I’ll stop beating around the bush and cut to the chase. In a meta sense she is a representation of companies with branding that make them out to be your friends or honorary family when in actuality...their practices are immoral and they’re just feeding you lies. The Once-ler already has signs of this aspect but with Fudge-ler I turn it up to 11. I like to explore different aspects of the corporate beast because I find that to be some of the most fascinating things about the Once-ler’s story.
Part of my motive for making her was that I wanted a female Once-ler as well...and hilariously her first outfit there was really self indulgent for me to design. I think think it’s so adorable :” )
Then I had to design an outfit for her that reflected her true nature...as something she would wear when conducting business in her dimly lit office...sitting in her enormous chair with her imposing gaze on the poor sucker who didn’t do his job quite right.
