Fanfiction: Once Upon a Freakin' Time

[evadne_noel]

Still no closer on the Sky Captain Breadbox, but I do have a brand spankin' new Once Upon a Freakin' Time! And it features Lucius! I realized the other day that all of these stories were either "Lord Voldemort did this," "The Death Eaters did that," or "Severus Snape snarks inappropriately". There were absolutely no "Lucius Malfoy does something

Oh dear God. Hilarious. Absolutly freaking hysterical. *grins at mental picture of someone being transfigured into a badger* *cackles madly* Wonderful! By God, Evadne, you've done it again!

LUCIUS!

Ah, I must be honest. The badger thing originally came from Sarah Noble, aka sad_alice. But, yeah, badgers are funny on principle.

Badgers are funny. Just the word 'badger' is a funny word. I don't know why they're so funny, but they are. What's up with that?

[evadne_noel]

Well, as anyone who's ever read a "Redwall" book (and really, you only need to read one) can tell you, badgers themselves really aren't that funny. They're kinda scary in person.

But, yeah, the word is hilarious. I wonder who looked at the ornery, giant rodent (what are they, really?) and thought, "You know what a good name for that big, mean animal digging in my garden would be? Badger."

Hey, do you or anyone else remember the name of that book about the boy who learns valuable life lessons from a female badger? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about?

I've never read a Redwall book, but I do remember trying to sleep through my brother watching the TV series.

I don't know what they are. I mean, they look like a combination of skunks and koalas or something, and I mean, I guess they're rodents, because they aren't bears, and...what are skunks? Are skunks rodents? What qualifies something to be a rodent? *slowly going mad from thinking about this*

I don't think I've ever heard of such a story. But it sounds like an interesting concept.

I don't know why it didn't occur to me before, but I googled badgers and discovered they were in the same family as weasels (another great word!) and ferrets. Which, given the badger's temperment, does not surprise me at all.

I also tried to google the book, but came up with zip.

WEASELS! Huzzah! And ferrets! I'm quite a fan of small annoying furry animals. And it does make sense, now that I think of it.
