I'm Just Coming Back To Say That This Is TOO COOL AAHJDHJAGGG I Mean, As Someone Who Since Joining The

i'm just coming back to say that this is TOO COOL AAHJDHJAGGG i mean, as someone who since joining the fandom has tried to read as many things about the fandom as i can, it's fascinating, it doesn't matter if the video lasts a i just want to know and learn more about all this ;;v;;

Calling all Oncelings! I need your help!

Greetings, Onceler fandom! Tis I, MJ, just a little guy who wants your help on a big project I'm planning!

Here's the rundown: I want to do a deep-dive video on the Lorax, from its origins to its adaptations, to the cultural phenomenon that it has become, including a HUGE dedicated section to the fandom and its history! And I need your help with it! Keep reading if this interests you :D Rough outline of topics that I'm plannning on addressing:

THE CONTENT:

The Original 1971 Book

The 1972 Short

The 2012 Illumination Movie (And what went WRONG, the cut content, analysis)

The 2015 Musical

THE IMPACT:

The Onceler Fandom's Beginnings and Early Years (2012)

Shipping (Oncest, Normaler, the like)

Onceler OCs and aus! (Possibly an OC feature from those in the fandom!)

The Lorax in Meme Culture

The Resurgances of the Fandom (2015, 2021, 2023 Tiktok Boom)

Where's the fandom at now?

It's a huge project and that's why I want you all to help me with it! What do I want your help with? At the moment this is my list!

Research and Fact Checking on the "Content" Section, especially on lesser known topics like the musical or the cut content! (Pspspsps calling the five of you who actually know what the musical is)

RESEARCH AND FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES OF THE ONCELER FANDOM'S EARLY DAYS!! I joined this place in 2023 so I don't know much about the early days of the fandom, and I want to know SO much more than I do! I want to know the scope, everything from the in-jokes to the aus to the deoncelerization. If you've been in this fandom since 2012 I would LOVE to hear from you!

Last but not least, I want the end of this video to be a love letter to this community, sharing firsthand experiences of what the Onceler as a character and the fandom means to you! I want to conduct interviews with people over discord (which is going to be a lot less fancy than it sounds so dw, it's not going to be an interrogation LMAO)

Specifics are subject to change but one thing will stay, I want to end the video to be made out of raw Love and Appreciation for this fandom, showcasing the side of this little corner of the internet that people who brush it off as mindless cringe don't see. All I've seen from this community is love and support and I want to be the video essayist who shows it for what it is!

At the moment I don't really have much of a plan (I'm not a very good planner lol), but if enough interets garners I know it'll help me streamline my motivation and come up with a game plan!

Feel free to leave me suggestions for where to go from here, maybe give out my discord? Make a Discord Server? Maybe there's something I can do solely on tumblr? I don't know! I don't know at all how Tumblr works! Help Me! Am just a little guy!

Alright that's all from me for now gamers, if this project interests you all in any capacity or you want to help out, please reblog/reply/message/ask/howeveranythingworksonthissite to let me know! Feel free to ask me questions or whatever as well! Peace out for now ✌️

AND BTW iiii know i said i was going to publish something these days but i had a pending commission (i still have 2 others pending hehe) and apart from that what i had prepared was very uuagh simple to publish ToT so i better discard it, but here's a small spoiler yeah----

yep, it's an excuse to draw more of the onceler's mother

DONAAAAA RAAAAGGHGH DIOS ES BUENISIMOOOOOIIA EIWOEJOAB

I was doing this months ago and I forgot... one day I will finish it with the full audio🗿

Opening commissions! (I'm not good at making commission sheets, I apologize.) I'm so nervous about pricing. Aaaaaa

If you have any special requests, stuff is negotiable.

Will draw NSFW (NOT of minors), furries. If you commission nsfw you must be over 18. I am not liable for this.

Each additional character (up to 2) = half the original price added on.

Audrey example on the left, for flat color:

Bust: $10

Knee up: $15

Full body: $25

Once-ler example on the right, rendered:

Bust: $15

Knee up: $20

Full body: $35

Quick sketches:

Bust: $5

Knee up: $7

Full body: $10

Thank you for looking! Reblogs greatly appreciated.

being without a tablet has made me develop more ideas for comics OOUuhsjah and not only about the onceler also about trolls

i'm trying to organize all my ideas...because a bad habit i have is having many ideas and not developing any 😔 anyway RAAAHHH how are you guys???!??!

Once-ler’s guitar hop + other aesthetics considered in Earth’s context, giant ramble

ages ago, i wondered where Once-ler’s guitar hop came from, I was certain I saw it, but I couldn’t remember where.

Then I saw the hop again.

And we know Marty Mcfly probably pulled his moves from somewhere.

Chuck Berry!

It says Duck-walk up there, but Chuck Berry also did that one-legged hop, (and some consider the hop as a type of duckwalk).

And the Once-ler’s hip-moving moves could be influence from Elvis. Elvis was nicknamed Elvis the Pelvis because of how much he moved, well, his pelvis.

The pelvis moving of Elvis among his performances was mildly scandalous.

From Wikipedia:

“Ben Gross of the New York Daily News opined that popular music “has reached its lowest depths in the ‘grunt and groin’ antics of one Elvis Presley. … Elvis, who rotates his pelvis … gave an exhibition that was suggestive and vulgar, tinged with the kind of animalism that should be confined to dives and bordellos”.[109] Ed Sullivan, whose own variety show was the nation’s most popular, declared him “unfit for family viewing”.[110] To Presley’s displeasure, he soon found himself being referred to as “Elvis the Pelvis”, which he called “one of the most childish expressions I ever heard, comin’ from an adult.”[111]”

So there’s possibly some 50′s influence on his movements.

It’s a really long document so i hope I didn’t have blatant errors like accidentally deleting half a paragraph.

Also, remember this gif of Paul shaking his hair. You’ll need it, since PDFs don’t have animated gifs and I refer to this at one point.

(And if you have read my entire ramble, thank you!)
