9Futret was a character by and handle of South London dubstep/breakcore artist Tom Bennett, who hosts a number of other online-personas. He had produced a few early tracks under the name of alienfingers.
10
11A now deactivated Website/DeviantArt account (now available on [[http://derpiboo.ru/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sbq=artist%3Anetherlips&commit=Go derpibooru]]) was also run by him under the name of [=NetherLips=]. His art mainly consisted of parodies of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' characters, which he renders in a style that has been called "marshmallowy {{moe}}-blobs". but also some separate fanart, such as ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff'', and some of his own characters. He had proposed concepts for deer and other furry {{Original Character}}s on his deviantART and ideas for backgrounds, but a full story was never completed in time.
12
13Major inspirations for his music include anime and Japanese culture, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff-type satirical media, and the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom. He is probably best known for his work with [[Creator/LapfoxTrax Renard Queenston]] on ''GABBERSTÄG'', and in ''Friendship Is Magic'' fandom for his tribute album to ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles''.

25!!Tropes that apply to Futret:
26* AuthorAvatar: That brown/orange creature seen above is his official [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom fursona]].
27* CampGay: The themes of ''Gay Deer World Takeover''.
28* [[{{Dubstep}} Futstep]]
29* GagDub: ''JACKLE APP SHITS AN EGG AT BRONYCON AND ITS PRETTY FUCKIN LAME!!!!!!!!!!'' does this to the ''Series/{{Glee}}'' version of Music/{{Journey|Band}}'s "Don't Stop Believin.'"
30* {{Gayngst}}/ GayAesop: "(More than) Deer to me"
31* GenreShift/ SurprisinglyGentleSong: To the usual electronic and synth, "(More than) Deer to me" was based on vocals and piano.
32* IWantSong: "Stag Night"
33-->''"I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A [[GayBar GAY BAH]]!\
34I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAH!\
35I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A [[LoopedLyrics GAY BAH, GAY BAH, GAY BAH]]!"''
36* LyricalDissonance: "Nerves". The verses are both fast-paced and high-pitched; without paying attention, the lyrics and tune seem fairly happy. But, upon comprehension: The listener realizes that the song is about ''serial killers''.
37* MadDoctor: The basis of "Upward Infection", though the man confesses he doesn't actually have a diploma.
38* [[ElectronicMusic Mischiefcore]]
39* MistakenIdentity: There was a confusion about him and some guy claiming to be "Futret" on [=ChristianFur=].
40-->''I DONT OWN A CHRISTIANFUR ACCOUNT, THAT PERSON ISNT ME, SORRY TO DISAPPOINT''
41* NonAppearingTitle: "Upward Infection"
42* RecurringElement:
43** His visual art is almost always stylized with the distinctive futura [[UsefulNotes/{{Fonts}} typeface]], which he describes as ''"very [[{{Kawaiiko}} kawaii]]"''.
44** In addition, he often gives his creatures his trademark set of teeth.
45* {{Sampling}}: Prevalent in a majority of his songs.
46** The vocal tracks from "Nerves" and "Queen of the Night" were both borrowed from that of "Blackest Eyes" by Music/PorcupineTree and the song of the same name by Whitney Houston, respectively.
47** And again with "Stag Night", featuring the vocal track from Electric Six's "GayBar"
48** ''BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP​:​FML]'' prominently features audio clips taken from the show.
49** "Drop it Like Your Mother Got Shot" features audio samples from both ''WesternAnimation/BambiII'' and "Drop it Like Its Hot" by Music/SnoopDogg.
50** The featured quote from ''Film/{{Troll 2}}'' is used at the beginning of "Delicieux".
51** "Conté Hit & Run" uses samples by Kakukaku Shikajika, mascot for the eponymous Conte mini-van in Japan; as seen in their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyaXLdFwRKE ad]].
52** The beginning of "Big Biscotti Bucks" uses a vocal sound byte taken from the 1986 version of ''Running Scared''.
53** The ''HARDEST OUT'' sample is from a local (south London) grime rap group called crem dala crem.
54* SelfDeprecation: He occasionally writes things like [[labelnote:this:]]''"ENJOY THIS TRASH AS IT LEAVES MY LIFE FOR GOOD :^ ) :^ ) :^ )"''[[/labelnote]] on his bandcamp.
55** And especially on his album ''DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM [FOR SERIOUS]''[[note]]''\
56"OFFICIAL WORST ALBUM 2012 0/5 FROM ALL CRITICS, LIVING AND DEAD\
57\

59\
60INCORRECT\
61\
62IT DIDNT TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE THIS IN CASE YOU DIDNT WORK THAT OUT"''[[/note]]
63* {{Slogans}}: A multitude, yet still the same concept: [[labelnote:1:]]\
64ARE YOU SURE YOU'D RATHER NOT LOOK AT PICTURES OF SOME NICE DEER?\
65[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:2:]]\
66NAH, BRO\
67I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT. WHY DON'T YOU SIT BACK, RELAX AND LOOK AT SOME DEER INSTEAD?\
68[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:3:]]\
69HEY, PRINCESS\
70FINISH YOUR MAYO AND COME LOOK AT SOME NICE DEER\
71[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:4:]]\
7299% OF THE PEOPLE WHO DECIDED TO LOOK AT NICE PICTURES OF DEER SAID THEY WOULDN'T GO BACK\
73ARE YOU THE 99%?\
74[[/labelnote]]
75* SpringtimeForHitler: ''DON'T EVER PAY MONEY FOR THIS ALBUM'' was made mainly in response to the [=LegalSounds=].com piracy conflict[[note]](as seen in his Website/{{Tumblr}} [[http://barrymanilowswinternightmare.tumblr.com/post/16491777529/futret-take-the-knot-vakas-lament-new-album post]], and in [[http://stachioed.tumblr.com/post/16495916669/the-first-screenshot-is-from-legalsounds-the another's)[[/note]]]]. Despite the fact, people seemed to still love the album.
76* StylisticSuck: Most of his work revolves around this, especially since he's partially inspired by Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff.
77* CoverAlbum: Tribute Album: To ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles''; and additionally, ''BALLS OUT MAGIC [MLP​:​FML]'' was again dedicated to the fandom.
