Herbert P. Bear - Tumblr Posts

Sam meets his idol ^_^

Did someone say Percy???

idk if you're still doing the headcannon stuff but if you are... S K I P or Percy

I didn't see this one and it's been a long time since I've done headcanon posts but ah, what the hell. Headcanon time!

Herbert P. Bear Headcanons

He's a total karen to waitstaff. If he finds fault with something while out eating he will make his opinion heard. Those poor minimum wage employees

I like to think he's ace/aro because honestly he's not super into affection in general, I can't quite see him finding romantic interest in anyone.

Despite his hatred of puffles, Herbert's favorite type are black puffles. They're quieter than most and generally not as bothersome.

He tried cart surfing once while trying to persue an escaping agent. As you can assume, that did not go well

He loves classical music as well as soft jazz. He finds them relaxing and thus quite enjoys the styles. He also sometimes listens to generic vacation music to make himself feel like he's somewhere tropical.

The cold wasn't the only reason Herbert left the arctic circle. He had a difficult upbringing, and often felt like an outcast in the north. He hoped to find a warm island with a small population that would accept him for who he is. Boy did that go well.

Ok this headcanon was made by @nahyerart but I love it and want to share it. Herbert went by Percival when he was younger, switching back to the name "Herbert" when he set out for a new home.

Klutzy occasionally convinces Herbert to play videogames with him. Herbert usually rage quits and then makes up a lame excuse like "my vision was obstructed by the lighting!" "Grr.. my controller was too small, that's all!"

He uses his tall height to taunt others, which is very annoying if you're a penguin. He's the type who would wave things just above your reach so you can't grab them. He's very egocentric, so he'll use the fact that he's taller than most to be as much of a jerk as he can about it.

If he's in a particularly sour mood and a penguin bothers him enough, he will pick them up and just throw them. Like football. Just yeets them across the way.

[08/28/2021] Shhh, they're sleeping

I have so many hcs regarding Herbert's childhood and early adulthood. One of them being that he went by Percival when he was younger, only going by Herbert after leaving the arctic to cut ties with the other polar bears who treated him like shit (including his own family).

Uh, YES PLEASE?

Curious if anyone would like to hear about my joke headcanon turned au turned sorta-OC (but also not really) about Club Penguin Island Herbert being regular Herbert's nephew.

M- May I give him a smooch? 😳👉👈 /hj

I would sit down with popcorn and a cup of hot chocolate to hear this headcanon/au of cpi herbert being regularly herberts cousin/sibling

SFHSHFHSHDS in that case, let me blab a bit about this au!

So CPI Herbert, whom I've nicknamed Henry, is Herbert's nephew in this au. In it he ends up finding Club Penguin Island (og version) while on a search for his dear uncle Herbert, whom Henry idolized since childhood. After lurking in the shadows for a while, observing the island and learning about Herbert's history on the island- especially Operation Hibernation- Henry quickly got VERY mad at the penguins. He refused to believe his uncle was anything but right, and that the penguins were cruel and unjust for force-hibernating him.

Henry ends up approaching Herbert and they have a reunion, after all those years seperated. In that reunion, Henry offers to help Herbert in taking over the island/enacting his revenge on the Elite Penguin Force, and Herbert agrees. Henry is family, after all.

Buuuuut Henry is a touch more unstable and ruthless than Herbert is, as well as very distrustful of Klutzy and any other allies of Herbert's. So as you can imagine, everything goes to hell for everyone involved.

I won't spoil the rest of it, but yeah! That's Henry! I'll also attach my (re)design for him.

^^^^^^^

First off, your headcanons are amazing! They are really cool to read!

Second… Ok, I know you just posted it, but you hit me hard with the Origin Story Herbert headcanon, and I must ask if you have more of them for this starving soul? Thank you.

Let's expand then! Enjoy!

(Open to start reading!)

The Village

Off an obscure and small island in the North Pole icecaps lived a passionate and brilliant bear on a slow-growing village. The island's main profits were fish, snow hut building, and coal. A bland, boring, and cold island who's entire government was created hundreds of years ago and founded upon the believe of Mother Nature and the many Sky Gods.

Mother Nature and Her Sky Spirits

The rapidly heating of the air? The melting of the island caps? The erratic pattern of blizzards and storms? The impossible farming conditions of the North Pole? This was the work of Mother Nature and her Sky Spirits. She decided what happened to the weather and when it happened. Good weather was a blessing by the Sky Gods for the village's hard work. Vicious storms was the punishment the village would receive for rebellion against her and not following the culture norms. The entire village of polar bears spent all their lives predicting the weather to the best of their abilities. They were very accurate when they had the time to predict it! Just by looking at the sky they knew. But when the weather became more unpredictable...

Percival Herbert...

Percival Herbert was smart, a genius, you might say, compared to the boring-minded polar bears of his village. His father was the past Chief of the village. With his leadership, the village advanced twice as fast. Not everyone agreed with his decisions, though. One day, the stress of his job, the panic of the Fish Crisis, and the fighting amongst the village, led his old age to work against him... Mr. Bear inherited his father's genius, and spent his free time growing up learning about technology, building, gardening, and climate. Most of these books could NOT be found in the library. Mr. Bear did a lot of exploring, and found an abandoned lab with a computer setup. He goes there from time to time and works.

And His Igneous and Defiant Inventions

One of the first of his odd inventions was finding a new way to survive, by growing a garden! He created a basic greenhouse system to help keep plants alive. Lots of bears thought this was pretty useful, but an odd choice, as vegetables and fruit was not their primary diet. Caring for his personal garden changed his diet quite a bit, and started his vegetarian craze. He learned how to create general pieces of technology to help his close peers. They appreciated it, but felt awkward about the gifts and didn't use it. The village is so reliant on there own efforts that all of Percival Herbert's technological advancements felt almost like witchcraft and magic.

The Climate Crisis and The Last Solution

The weather became so unpredictable in Mr. Bear's last years in the North Pole that the village's predictions were wrong, multiple times. This sometimes had MAJOR costs to the village's structure. Mr. Bear could not stand to see his village destroyed and have them believe they were the cause behind the rath of Mother Nature. He started created tools to predict the weather (like wind vanes, thermometers, anemometers, barometers, etc). He even started sketching ideas to help miniplate the weather. These were his most useful inventions, but when he showcased these to the village Chief, and the Council heard his ideas and beliefs towards the weather, they feared against them. The idea to control and measure forces of gods was like sacrilege to them. He got the same treatment his father did: fear, anger, disappointment, betrayal, and to the point of mockery. (Imagine the Salem Witch Trials, and you got the vibe).

The Doom of Polar Bear Island and Abandonment

As the worst blizzard to ever occur started to approach the island, Percival Bear informed, warned, and pleaded the island to listen to his words. Every statement he made about this upcoming storm was met with resistance.

"The sky has been beautiful for days! Look out into the sea! No waves have appeared, how could this storm you speak of come?

"Why would you speak against the predictions of the Sky Watchers? They have been trained all their lives. You believe they are not qualified to speak the truth?"

"The Council would not like to hear these words of blasphemy you speak of. Only Mother Nature knows when the end of our island shall be. Not you."

Inevitably, the island was forced to watch as a swift but powerful blizzard appeared suddenly before them, and wiped out their village. In the aftermath of chaos and sadness, Herbert P. Bear was forced to abandon his island. He now believed they could not, and would never try, to understand someone like him...

What a similar fate he would meet.

He certainly has a way with words, our beloved pissbear.

Humanized!Herbert and Alaska ✌

He's a tad embarrassed that she has to carry him around after he sprained his ankle. She seems happy to do so though

Drawing Herbert as human is a lot easier than drawing him in his canon form

Process:

No one:

Me: Here have this art I never posted

"I will show you the same mercy you have shown to me, motherfucker. I will make you BEG for hell, Oscar, I will make you suffer"
