Rusty: they're pretty much just a regular red panda that (more or less) wears the same clothes i do. i added the RGB tail to reflect my interest in old video game hardware, and @rocknrami gave them the floppy ear (it was originally stuffed under their hat, but i thought it would be cute to make that a permanent feature)
Rachel: red pandas rule. fennec foxes rule. so why not do the chocolate and peanut butter thing and smoosh them together?? oh jeez oh no it's not the same at all aaaaaaaa
