NOTE TO IB STAFF: Yes, this is a desktop, but the tree is the focus and is my creation ...and includes a bluebird, because furry ^^
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "Their orange is higher than mine!"
CHIPPY: "Good. It has further to fall"
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER2: "Their orange is lower than mine!"
CHIPPY: "Good. It will be eaten before yours"
It's just as well or ill to be low on the tree as to be high. Moreover, a given orange's position on the tree is not a statement about its respective value.
TL;DR I'm not raising or lowering anyone's orange; to ask would be fruitless ...and I worked WAY too hard for that pun! ^^
HYPOTHETICALWATCHERS:
"My orange is the most remote!"
"Mine is crowded!"
"Their orange is touching mine!"
CHIPPY: *puts fingers in ears and hums the 'I'm ignoring you' song*
HYPOTHETICALWATCHERS:
"How come I don't have an orange?"
"Is it 'OR-ange' or 'AR-ange'?
"Will you please draw Swifty as Robin Hood and Jade as Maid Marion?"
CHIPPY: You don't have one because you didn't make one. Either way, the tree has now bloomed; it cannot hold any more.
'Orange' is pronounced ...wait, this might get political/offensive. I'm not answering that! *coughORangecough*
...No?
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER3: "You're that guy who draws naked kids. Please remove my orange"
CHIPPY: "No. You made your orange, and now you must eat it" :3
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER4: "I'm telling it like it is, IceAgeChippies! It took you ages to get to this orange thing, and so many artists (who are each better than you in every way) contributed to this, in good faith that maybe MAYBE you'd produce something of value ...yet, instead you've cut up a beer bag and some paper, called it a 'tree' and placed, no, SHAMED our hard work on it!"
CHIPPY: ...ok, that's a tonal shift if ever there was. I'm not going to say it's your fault for having expectations of someone who draws B-grade cartoons on writing paper; who uploads blurry pictures of insects and wildflowers with an iPad from 2013 (and calls both 'art'). No, I'm not going to say having expectations is your fault at all (apophasis ftw)! :D
CHIPPY: "I'm, in part, a burrowing animal with short legs---the concept of 'going down' doesn't intimidate me much, but far be it from me to take away your joy (go get me, Tiger! Rawr!)" ^_^
HYPOTHETICALWATCHER5: "I love you, IceAgeChippies!"
CHIPPY: "And I love you, too!" *nuzzles*
All right, I'd say that's the note to end on. :3
Thank you to all who donated an orange to the tree.
Also, a link for each orange and its respective artist appears below. Enjoy!
Exactly! Every orange is special in its own way---unique like every other orange ...which kinda devalues the concept of uniqueness, but that's how it goes! XD
