I propose a new mob for Minecraft: the Morax.
He spawns whenever you start chopping away at a tree. He’ll stare at/follow you around for a random amount of time, chipping away a total of one heart, before floating up into the sky.

Hachiko, a dog who waited at the train station for his owner to return from work everyday. One day, his owner suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at work and never came home. Hachi continued to wait for his return - appearing exactly when the train was due at the station - for the next nine years.

from that adorbs boy wanting affection from his mother to a remorseful old man locked away from the world. enjoy your once-ler feels. ; 3 ;
After the Lorax returned, the stone inscription of Unless changed to Because, as in ‘Because someone like you cared a whole awful lot, things got better when they might have not.’

While at theaters watching The Lorax
- ((That scene where Once-ler's mother tells him that he's let her down))
- Little Kid: Mommy, why did she say that he let her down?
- Mother: Because she's a terrible person, sweety.
I’d like to say a few words, if you please.
So… apparently there’s been quite a lot of hate going around for the Once-ler fandom; people saying that we’re promoting the destruction of the environment, people hating on us for liking a character who acts like such a massive jerk by the end of his story, not caring for anyone but himself…
But frankly, anyone who says things like that either clearly have not seen the movie at all, or have missed the point spectacularly.
The Once-ler is not a villain. We don’t love him because he’s evil (and he isn’t) - We love him because he’s human. Any one of us could have fallen into the same trap that he fell into.
Yes, he did do terrible things. He was selfish. He broke his promise, he destroyed an entire forest and ruined the surrounding area nearly beyond repair, and he became so hopelessly self-centered that there wasn’t anything anyone could do to stop him.
And nothing makes us more sad than to see what he became, no matter how hot that green suit of his might’ve been to us. But it’s not that we’re ignoring the second half of the movie either.
It doesn’t end there.
He chops down that last truffula tree… and suddenly the full weight of what he’s done falls down on top of him. He realizes what he’s become. He realizes that he’s ruined everything.
“It’s because of me,” he tells Ted later on.
The Once-ler regretted everything he did. He shut himself up in his lurkim for years because of it.
We love him because he was sorry.
He never meant for things to end up like they did.
Our love for the Once-ler doesn’t make us want to go out and chop down trees. It makes us want to heed his warning, and never let our world become like his; never make the same mistake he did. In fact, we should plant more trees, if we really want to do something that would make him happy.
Anyone who says we don’t care about the environment…
The truth about the Once-ler fandom?
We care a whole awful lot.
