Okay, I’m feeling up for it. So I’m going to just answer some inbox asks here on this post. Mostly just so I can get them all out of the way in a single post and not spam the dash! I’m going to basically just summarize some of the ask questions below as well to keep it short and sweet. Plus answer the most common questions I get asked or that’s in my inbox right now.
So basically this is sort of a FAQ because I’ve gotten these questions quite a few times.
I’ll put some of these questions / answers under a readmore if it starts getting a bit too long. And forgive any mistakes or bad typing I’m on an hour of sleep and been very busy today!
== > what’s your name?
i’m amanda! it’s nice to meet you.
== > sj lola or tlts lola?
personally i like TLTS Lola more... if that’s not too obvious lol given the contents of this blog.
but i also think both versions of her are good. and i definitely love seeing people have a version they relate to or feel happiness seeing. i just like tlts lola more because i never really got into SJ as a kid? i never was a fan of the sports movies and though i loved looney tunes i never really found the movie to hold my attention for long?? but that’s just my opinion and i definitely did watch it as a kid ( mostly because my elementary school played it and secret of nimh on loop ) and do understand why it’s fun / enjoyable to others! i’ve just never liked sports movies much and even as a kid had a hard time really sitting still for it or watching it for long lmao. definitely not from lola or the movie. it was just me as a kid and even now not being that interested in sports movies.
but i love seeing my friends and everyone else gush over the movie and that version of lola! it’s so neat to hear about how that movie is a big part of their childhoods and how nostalgic it makes others! i’m at least gonna try to watch the new movie coming out! though i may not be able to for a bit after so i’ll likely block spoilers or the tag for at least a bit until i’m able to finally watch it.
basically both are good and i think they both have neat things about them! just because i like one version more doesn’t mean the other is bad!
== > do you post loonatics or tiny toons?
most likely not. but also i never watched loonatics. i don’t know much about it but i definitely have met friends / fans of it who are really into it and i support their love for this show. maybe someday i’ll actually watch it lmao! even if i don’t like it i’ll still gladly stand by and let you enjoy it!! and hey if you wanna tell me about it or even tell me what you like about it go ahead! i’ve never seen it so i can’t really comment on it until i actually watch it someday, haha.
as for tiny toons? i might someday post clips from it. but i haven’t watched it since i was a kid actually! maybe i’ll try and watch a few episodes to become reacquainted with it.
== > do you run honeybunnyworld.com? // why do you post about honey bunny?
ok.... i get the first one a lot i guess because people assume there’s not many honey bunny fans except a select few older ones that were around.
no, i do not run that site. i am not associated with whoever ran it / whatever other sites and more they ran. i’ve seen the site. but i do not run it and do not know who does. in fact despite me being a looney tunes fan i’ve never really posted about it in all my years online. this tumblr is my biggest contribution to the looney tunes fandom and the most i’ve really done things with it!
i do have a minor small honey bunny ‘side-blog’ that i plan to use to catalogue her merchandise for a future collection i plan on having with my girlfriend. but i don’t really post on it and most of my honey content is just posted here.
i post about honey because i’ve known about her since i was a little girl. i’m going to be thirty this october, lmao, but i come from a family that loved looney tunes dating back to my grandpa being a little boy. i got introduced to a lot of classic characters and even obscure / older ones from my dad and grandpa. they both loved the looney tunes cartoons, the old mickey mouse shorts also, and we’d always watch them together.
my grandpa sadly passed in 2012 but i have fond memories of him giving me looney tunes trivia or us all on the floor watching cartoons together or him doing impersonations of the characters. my grandpa was an avid fan of animation and would talk fondly about the looney tunes and their characters. even ones that weren’t around often or were never animated much / in merchandising.
honey is just an obscure / forgotten character i happen to enjoy because she was a normal part of my childhood introduced by my family to me. plus my girlfriend also enjoys her and a few of my friends do as well. i post honey stuff to share it with them and also just because i like her as a character. she’s become a little comfort character to me. an obscure / retired / forgotten bunny that i have fond memories of my grandpa and dad introducing me to. my grandpa being gone just makes her more fond to me and sadly my dad and i don’t talk as much as we use to as i’ve gotten older and we’ve drifted apart. but when we do talk we often joke about looney tunes stuff!
however, i’ve noticed an influx of new honey stuff lately by fans and more people drawing her in recent years and that’s pretty neat! i love seeing people having a positive experience discovering her and not listening to the more negative side of the fanbase that tends to be really loud and sort of ruins peoples first perception of her character. it makes me happy to see new art of her drawn by fans and see people actually liking her and not being ashamed! i definitely encourage it and love the positive honey vibes!
