A question from Imperian
Over in Imperian we've got a lot of ex-Achaean, both long-term and recent retirees.
When told of my desire to have a giant bee as a mount, they all immediately began to laugh about something called "Bumblebeevie".
When asked what a "Bumblebeevie" is, none of them will tell me, though they will use such phrases as "fabulously ridiculous", "possibly the worst pet ever created in the history of IRE", "amazing", "it is an atrocity", and "No one tell him". When my first effort to post this ran into a 503 error, I was informed that the error was specifically because I wanted to find out about Bumblebeevie, because "that's how bad bumblebeevie is".
So. I have dug up my ancient Achaean character to ask you all this one question: What is a bumblebeevie?

Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
The description was:
[spoiler]Obviously mutated by some sort of chaotic or mischievous act, this once-normal bumblebee flies high in the air, always in search of Evie or keeping a close eye on her. The reason for her large, overwhelming size is unknown to all but Evie. A small brown leather saddle has been firmly attached, though carefully, to the back of the bee for easy mounting. Stirrups rest easily between the beautiful set of bright yellow wings so that the rider doesnt harm them with his or her feet. A soft base of deep black fuzz covers the bumblebee warmly, while three bright pink stripes decorate around the belly. A bright yellow stinger sticks out threateningly from the bees bottom, twitching just slightly when shes annoyed. Her cute little round black head is set off by a set of slightly oversized blue eyes. Two antennae wiggle gently as she glides around through the air, the ends lit up in bright yellow balls. A small pink bow has been tied neatly around the left antenna, the silk glistening delicately in the light. Embroidered in black thread along the tail of the ribbon, the name Bumblebeevie can be read.
Bumblebeevie, the cute oversized bumblebee is a humble-looking creature.
She weighs about 1125 pounds.[/spoiler]
And some of the reactions (I don't have all of them in my logs):
[spoiler]Evie beams broadly at Bumblebeevie, the cute oversized bumblebee.
Bumblebeevie glides happily through the air, stopping mid-way at Evie's shoulder, and rubs her nose delicately against Evie's, her long eyelashes gliding against her cheek sweetly as she buzzes off into the air.
Bumblebeevie, the cute oversized bumblebee buzzes around aimlessly in circles around your head, almost knocking you to the ground. Bumblebeevie tickles and coos against your neck with her large glowing antennae. Buzzing softly, she zips back into the air, leaving a small trail of pollen and flower bits trickling down behind her.
Bumblebeevie, the cute oversized bumblebee buzzes around in a large circle overhead. Catching a glimpse of a colourful piece of paper, she dives down at it, rubbing her nose happily into the centre. Angrily she buzzes as she realizes that the paper indeed is not a large flower big enough for her. She turns quickly, darting her stinger wildly into the paper, shredding it violently. Slowly, she calms and pushes the paper about curiously with her stinger, then flies back high within the air in a buzz-like huff.[/spoiler]
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.

This mighty gorilla stands at an impressive height, his towering bulk casting a
shadow across all who lay eyes upon him. With a face so near the sun, this great
beast employs the use of shaded spectacles to shield his eyes from the glare.
This utilization of a tool indicates a modicum of intelligence, as well as a
sense of fashion. Being a jungle creature, this gorilla is often fond of taking
a swim or lounging in the swampy marshes. His glossy fur, once an impressive
shade of crimson, has since faded to a pinkish hue. This is obviously not your
usual gorilla; with a cocky grin on his face, he gracefully moves his bulk with
a confident swagger. It is obvious from the briefest glance that this
staggering, handsome animal only lets the best-looking people ride upon his
broad-shouldered back.
Eurilla, the mighty gorilla is a humble-looking creature.
He weighs about 1125 pounds.
He is mountable as a legendary steed.
He is loyal to Euronymous.
You see nothing in it.
Euronymous says, "Euro!"
Eurilla, the mighty gorilla tosses his arms up in praise.
Euronymous says, "Amunet!"
Eurilla, the mighty gorilla begins to pound the ground furiously.
Euronymous greets Eurilla, the mighty gorilla with a sincere smile.
Eurilla, the mighty gorilla shares a cool thumbs up with Euronymous.

mfwjk it's pretty funny in hindsight.
The worst pet IMO was one someone always used to leave at the Flame of Yggdrasil. I forget what it was called, but it was a giant panther or jaguar. Its description was just so Stupid, there were Random Capital Letters all over the place, and I forget what else made me hate it so much but I did.
so i was like a kid when i wrote it ...sue me...
I bet i can use one of my crystaline figures to rewrite it ha.
