I made them mecha because it was even funnier

If Nerdy's internet had been more cooperative, we were gonna compete to clear out invasive species.

I shall clear out all invasive species single-handedly.

Oh I was fully ready to just run around like a hooligan smooshing things

how did walruses originally become a Thing on RPR? like, is there an origin story for why the walrus specifically?

Walrus origin story time?

AT THE DAWN OF TIME

Are you a walrus? Nope, so you can’t. Only the great Giga-walruses can lol

oh my gosh I can HEAR that profile picture 💀

What do you mean?

Walruses were orginally supposed to be just a quick April Fools joke.

Who's pfp can you hear?

Gigachad

it's a meme

Ah

I am no 'meme.'

Yes you are.


Also, I’ll be back in a bit, heading home!

Okay so... April 1st 2016 I pulled an April Fools prank where I changed all of the accolades into little pics of walruses. I put out a news post saying this was because walruses were the embodiment of every trait the RPR community should strive for -- nobility, loyalty, cleverness, etc. Had a good giggle. One April 2nd when all the accolades turned back into trophies and ribbons and things, people freaked out and said they needed to get the walruses back, and were willing to pay for it. I said I could add walrus *items* but not accolades since I have always maintained there should be no way to pay for accolades. And the site community basically said "Fine fine just please also let us put hats on them"

bestie you're the kind of meme that will be irrelevant in 2 months

Don't you insult him!
