OK, new plan: we’re starting our own goofy cartoon city and everyone’s moving there. The only rule is everyone’s gotta find a way to spend their time.
What’s your fursona’s/OC’s job? Or more broadly, what good/service do they offer to others?
A detective who fails to realize that the simplest answer to any case is most often right underneath his nose, and instead goes on a wild chase that effectively ends in him running in circles.
I'd definitively be the owner of a small game shop where kids can buy cute and innocent toys like plushies, balls, model airplanes, dynamite and fireworks, board games, etc.
Uh, main OCs are gamedevs, but other oc options for me include scientist, cafe/bar owner, exhausted fast food workers, and at least one fully unemployed weirdo
Both my characters would probably be buskers on street corners or outside public transit centers.
Would their music cause cartoon shenanigans? Would you even have to ask that?
toon star wolf in the making! ✨
meanwhile zwz private courier, and freelance tech guy, and hurdling between TONS of toony problems and silliness between those jobs... yes i would even get flattened while doing the freelance thing zwz you think im free of that just 'cause is a cozy job xP
Might collect the various potion bottles and inkwells that people empty out and lose and clean 'em for resell/reuse or collection purposes. Maybe some larger bottles/jars for the folks that plan to use to cram other folks (or themselves) into~
My fursona is a kid so he probably has a wholesome kid-type job like running a lemonade stand. He gets the lemons from his wacky inventor grandpa, with no idea what kind of experiments he's been running on them
I think @freefox.bsky.social and I would have a bakery, one of where the delicious smell of the baked good trails out of the door and folks end up smelling it and then floating along it and into the bakery.
I run the local taco truck. It pretty much just stays in one place unless there's a special event, so there's plenty of seated tables with umbrellas, potted plants, a ping pong table, and a wooden awning with fairy lights. I also give sagely yet cryptic advice to folks who chat with me while I cook
Ziggy- courier or mailman, tends to get lost and explore >w>
Milo- librarian, is a shy goober but will anime teleport behind you if you need a book recc :3
You'd most likely think dealer of hoops or dubious TF Plot Devices on a street corner.
But would actually be a haberdasher focused on caps and hats*. Because can't go wrong with dapper accessories.
*which may or may not be TF Plot Devices
I toon up ordinary items for the townsfolk to use. Want that steam roller to go way too fast? Want that boom box to generate thrust? Want to gift an enemy the world's most persistent alarm clock? Is your wooden mallet too small? Do you need an IVR system built like a labyrinth? Just gimme a call.
Probably the town medical lab scientist. It's always good to have someone in a lab coat looking in a microscope and giving a very serious "hmm, it seems like their laughocytes are low. I'll crossmatch a unit of puns to have on hand."
Fortunately toons are resilient, so I'll be fishing as well!
Tech repair guy for all the weird gadgets that keep popping up. Probably the creator of many of them, too. Just generally being the mad scientist/shitty wizard that makes inventions or potions that instigate the plot for an episode
I am the musician. I am soundtracking toon town.
And during times I get comedically tied up because of toon shenanigans the background music in the city literally stops
I would run a video game/movie store. Buy, Sell, and Rent at "the D+Pad"
We got TVs, a few couches and some snacks for sale too, if you would rather just hang out there.
Ceo/spokespony for a company that specializes in the development and manufacturing of Inks, Dyes, Pigments, Paints.
Going to need lots of bold and beautiful colors for such a wacky world.
I'm gonna cook. We're gonna braise a bunch. Lots of handmade pasta. Gonna fuss over wine.
Maybe it's at a restaurant, maybe not. I'll just show up with a few bags and use your kitchen for a few hours.
Look, I don't know what happened; all I did was say that this place is insane, and next thing I know, the "scene transitioned" to city hall, and I'm now the "designated straight man/hapless milquetoast"? W-What does that even mean? Hello? What does all this paperwork mean? Are people hiring me?
Round Bakery that Makes You Round
Foelan bakes donuts, bagels, pretzels, anything tasty enough to have those animals floating in by the sniff of their nose :3
Toon speakeasy
Folks who stop by keep turning up missing, yet Monte always seems to be expanding his clientele of bar regulars or recruiting new goons, business is booming!
Me? Depends on the character!
Illas and Mustal would both fill the roles of "local giant you only ever see in a couple of episodes of your favorite animated show", but Mustal would be the one in that one episode where he shrinks everything and takes it home to add to his "model collection".
That inconveniently large guy that is nearly impossible to move and always is found in front of you in lines or unkownly blocking your view or sunlight.
I'm the local service bus driver and I'm in charge of training new starts to scrape the toons off the front of the bus and direct them to be un-flattened
