Finished reading: The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld šŸ“š

I wonā€™t spoil it by including the message of the story, but I will say itā€™s a good one. I was thinking, am I a good rabbit? In the bunniverse, Iā€™m the goon. I listen, but I also have a chaotic thought process and energy which yields results that create forces and ideas not ideal for all riders.

Thatā€™s okay, The Bunniverse also has this overlordā€“

Did I say overlord? I meant benevolent caretaker.

Anyway, she calls herself The Good Fairy. In a world where the caretaker has to put ā€œGoodā€ in their name, Iā€™d rather be a goon, even if it is the punishment for not following the rules. If the rabbit listens, then the goon knows not to trust someone who needs to put ā€œGoodā€. Similar self-praising adjectives should also apply. The same with people smile too much, always talk in a happy voice, always insist on keeping it positive, etc.

So when the song that features She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is sung, I wonder how many people memorize a moral that was told to them. The moral being follow the always follow the rules of the one who takes care you or be turned into a creature your group, your society finds objectionable, apparently the worst possible outcome in this scinario.

Good Fairy?"

I also hope there are those who listen and follow the rules based on a trust factor. Iā€™ve always valued being trusted more than I value being liked. I think thatā€™s why that song annoys the holy Hell out of me.
