Escargoancitizen and Friends

"Well look here. It seems some weird, talking woodland creatures have decided to invade my Treehouse. This could get interesting."

- Phelous

Escargoancitizen and Friends is a That Guy With The Glasses Crack Fic written by Tyler (geekmuffins), Mosu (abslterror), Mala (malaloba) and another helpful anon or two on Tumblr. In it, a majority of the site’s members are various woodland creatures and plants, with a focus on Oancitizen, who is a snail. And that’s about as much context as you get.


 * Animorphism: If the origin stories are canonical, it would appear that one day all of the TGWTG reviewers save a few transformed into various critters and plants and made their way to Ashens’ garden.
 * Bilingual Dialogue: It’s established that each animal speaks in their own animal-language, but they don’t have any probelm speaking with eachother or the humans who care for them.
 * Body Horror: The Secret Origin of Escargoancitizen
 * Carnivore Confusion: Averted with Bird Brain, MikeJay and Luke Cochrie. Even though they’re birds, they don’t antagonize the insect-based reviewers.
 * Played for laughs with 90s Kid (who's a goat) and Leekara
 * Cats Are Mean: The Nostalgia Kitten.
 * Deadpan Snarker: MikeJay
 * Fan Verse
 * Feather Fingers: Averted. The first main plot concerns the critters enlisting Phelous’ help in writing a birthday card for BushingUpRoses, since non of them have fingers.
 * Funny Animal: A majority of the cast.
 * Hair-Raising Hare: Diamanda Haregan has yet to be seen, but she is most likely this.
 * Keet: Bird Brain and Rants.
 * No Indoor Voice: Rants.
 * Token Human: Phelous and Ashens.
 * Treehouse of Fun: Phelous lives in the Secret Treehouse.
 * Only Sane Man: Phelous. Escargoancitizen fills the role of Only Sane Snail.
 * Hermitcrabthenian as well
 * Origin Story: Malaloba posted an origin story for Escargoancitizen in the form of a Homage to Uzumaki. Sparky wrote one for Bird Brain and MikeJay, which is slightly less disturbing.
 * Plant Person: BushingUpRoses, Leekara, and Speony. However, they sit on the lowest rung of the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism.
 * Punny Name: Anybody in the cast who’s been shapeshifted.
 * Round Robin: Of sorts. The anon posts one portion in geekmuffins’ ask box, and geekmuffins replies; she is writing every second part of the story.
 * The Unexpected: Rants, who runs the TGWTG secrets blog.
 * Unwanted Gift Plot: Nostalgia Kitten gives Roses geranium seeds for her birthday, but he doesn’t realize that she;s allergic.
 * Who's on First?: Phelous calls MikeJay a bird brain, and is subsequently corrected by Bird Brain.
