...Oh I seeee the joooke. Where bears rub and scritch themselves against trees. Or I...think that's what the joke is a bit.

English is so weirdly comprised of multiple languages! It's interesting and very cool! It's really fun seeing when it almost is close to one word's spelling in another language!

I was about to say "You don't have to give him those weird fuzzy featureless paws" but then I was like "Wait, maybe I should look up the source material first" and....aaaaaagh they coulda given him features on his paws, but they didn't want to.

Sometimes I like Beartic but sometimes I don't like Beartic, and it's not related to it's paws either! It's such a....unique circumstance where it's hard for me to feel either which way about him! It fluxes between "I kinda like him!" and "I kinda don't like him..." and I feel I should lean more towards "I kinda like him". <v>

Yup, that was the joke.

English gathered many influences:
celtic Gaelic, norse, roman latin, french, a little dutch and a little german even.

Glad I caught it!

Yeah, alot of influences, including Spanish if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong!

Cute big ol' bear-belly! x3

aye

Very nice indeed.

Thanks.

He’s so fat that if he falls forward, he’ll bounce.

a furry ball

I love the detail of his chest fur spilling out of his loose open shirt

Thanks.
I imagine ofthen, that I would be such a big fluffy anthro, bound and gagged, with the chest exposed like that and serving as a pillow for someone.

Those pics with your fursona chubby and tied up are pretty awesome if you ask me. Would def wanna capture a big fluffy stud like that to use as my own pillow

A nagging itch that would likely have proven rather unbearable if he wasn't able to get some relief with rubbing his back against the stake, though given his considerable mass if that stake wasn't firmly embedded I could see Beartic managing to break it and possibly make his escape still boundand hopping along.

Giving his overall fluffiness it would be tempting to pet him, though I think those muffled grumbles are more signs of contentment at relieving his itch so he perhaps might not mind too much.

The stake is rooted teep into the soil.
Maybe some passerbys have mercy and scratch him.
