#Morty gets to be silly . as a treat

[fluffs-n-stuffs]

"For a self-proclaimed researcher... I thought you'd know by now that Psychic-types are weak against Ghost." "Morty-ehehe! B-But I'm nohohot a type specialist!" "Maybe should've thought of that first before deciding to wake me up so early."

things about ave mujica that are making me lose my mind

making a post to gather my thoughts after ep6 bc uhm. 😃

first off, WHERE IS UIKA!!! not only did she not appear ONCE in episode 6, but her angsty narration (which we usually hear throughout each episode) was also missing from episode 6!!! what!!! and the last time we saw her she was hugging saki’s pillow breathing in it and letting 2 mugs of coffee go cold in saki’s room. yearning and pining unstable style. im gonna lose my mind. UIKA COME BACK I NEED TO SEE YOU CRASH OUT SO BAD I NEED TO PICK YOUR BRAIN

I NEED SAKIKO TO BE OKAY ASAP. her situation is giving me palpitations i literally feel sick thinking about the position she is in rn. she lost EVERYTHING - her mom, her dad, her old life, crychic, her freedom, ave mujica, and mutsumi. she is living with a manipulative, controlling grandpa who robbed her of her freedom and treated her creative project she tried to use and get out of poverty and support herself and her dad as just a silly kid’s game that ended up as a mess he fixed for her. she found out her best friend has DID and her alter told her “YOU broke her and made her go dormant. i hate you. she might never be back”. and rn she’s deeply avoidant and dissociated and she feels she cannot/doesnt want to share what happened with her dad or her family so where to fucking start opening up??? and she’s alone and has to go through it alone anyway, so what’s the point? why would she ask for help? so she dissociates and avoids and rejects tomori’s kindness. and now soyo is pissed at her and no one understands what she’s going through and she’s all alone and putting up walls is the only way she’s not falling apart but everyone sees her as a villain with her walls up. im feeling sick im feeling sick im crying on the bus

CAN WE PLEASE ADDRESS HOW NYAMU GOT AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX ABOUT ACTING BC OF MUTSUMI’S “PERFORMANCE”?? WHEN MUTSUMI JUST HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN ON STAGE? like this is insane. GIRL SHE WASNT ACTING 😭 pls take up the acting job you wanted!! i feel bad for her she’s so deeply insecure she also needs help. someone help her

fr is umiri on T? her voice keeps getting lower every episode 😭 she’s trying to achieve butch levels never seen before in girls band anime, next episode she’s coming in with short hair and a carabiner ⛓️. jokes aside i need her to stop with the “im too cool to care” act and admit she cares about the members of avemuji and pls help them bc ngl i feel like she’s the most mentally stable of the bunch. tho looking at the opening i might be wrong tbh lmao

makes me insane how mortis is the protector but also she’s clearly a little - an alter who is still a child. i love her so much. but also like mortis and mutsumi need another fucking alter to mediate between them bc they’re giving me anxiety!! ALSO HELLO?? THEY FELL DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS? had a public breakdown that got filmed by people as soyo shielded them??? they were locked in their room for like what, 2 months?? soyo spent 3 days and nights with mortis and mutusmi’s parents did not appear once bro. we saw one maid lead soyo to the room which was a WRECK and soyo was the one who helped tidy up. mutsumi’s family has completely given up on her and mortis, hid them like a dirty secret in their bedroom. it makes me sick i hate them i hate them

raana. that’s it. she makes me insane. aura farming like it’s a full time job

i need these girls to get help rn. please someone get them a group therapist im so fr

fujo yaoi rick posting, i actually draw him a shitton i just dont post em this is partially just so i can ramble abt him. LMAO

erm if u want epic #lore u can read a lil bit of it under the cut. Keep in mind that im lowkey workshopping it. His lore doesn't matter to me. He's came about because i was listening to Confessions of a Rotten Girl and Plus Boy and decided to make that a rick parody essentially 😭

F-215 Rick ( i call him fujo i dont think any other rick calls him fujo they probably call him "pervert rick" or something similar ) is REALLY into rickcest yaoi because he struggled to connect with others. he never had any kids because his relationship with his Diane fell apart due to his inability to connect, so he is mortyless! He was an incredibly selfish and distant, terrible husband !

At some point when his diane died or was idk wiped from existence, he didn't care? or at least care enough to seek revenge, but still wanted to cope with the loss of losing someone he was so close to intimately. he decided to whore around to feel less lonely. somewhere along that line, he slept with another Rick for the first time, and that was when he could finally felt a connection with another person (an alternative dimensional of himself LMAO)

thinkin abt it too deeply, probably upsets him because honestly finding out the only person you can connect to on a physical and mental level are just versions of yourself. I'd get bummed out, too. So he coped with this ideology by seeking out sexual relations with other ricks or idk rick versions of Yaoi manga LMAO

He doesn't actually act like a drooling fudanshi freak, personality wise he is a rick through and through, again his main difference is he is a crazy rickfucker and those type of thoughts KINDA consume him in his day to day. he acts like a weirdo out of a masochistic urge to have ricks pay attention to or even yell at him ! he a freakk 😛

i refer to him as Super Rick Fan Rick as a joke sometimes because he kinda is that he owns a ton of rick themed merch and even goes as far as stealing ricks underwear and sneaking photos of them on the citadel. i imagine he even made a rick sex bot mhm mhm ( i write him as living on the citadel during the pocket morty craze or whatever, does this matter or mean anything not really just know he lives in the citadel)

he probably gets drunk and goes out on the town of citadel to find a rick to have a one night stand with

im kinda yapping right now idk i like him i like seeing how weird i can get him to act around different ricks 😭 i ship him wit one of my friends rick ocs woohoo ! i luh shipping him wit ricksss i treat him like an annoying fujo anime girl hes adorable to me idkk

look at this guy so silly

About "Rickfending Your Mort"

S7EP6

I finally found something I want to say about this episode, which in many ways is just repeating what @hazelnut-u-out already said.

But I seriously cannot stop thinking about the observation made about Rick wanting to treat and spoil Morty 🥺

The non-specific guns bit was not only really funny, but such a lovely Rick/Morty set of interactions.

Before, this happened only occasionally, tbh I can only think of Cronenberg world with the potion, which went horribly, and then basically only through Rick Bot did Morty get some semblance of a treat - as far as I remember - like the lightsaber, however through this episode we finally see that Rick actually does give Morty some care... Or at least...

The way he sees it...

Clearly he's terrible at knowing what to give to a kid, but he's genuinely freaking trying you guuuuuys 🥺, he's, as Dr. Wong said, changing, just veeeeery slowly (enough for 70 episodes at least slowly*🤭).

I also really liked the scene with the Principal, because Rick is asking him to not be harsh with Morty, and is, guess what, taking responsibility!!!

He has shown that from time to time, but I will never stop praising this kind of progress and characterization.

All in all, even if not all the clips are my favorite amongst Interdimensional Cable or Mindblowers, I like this set up the best, because it placed both Rick and Morty as both causing trouble, and both being smol silly little creatures 🥰🥰🥰

For their standards anyway... 🤭🤔

Hazbin hate and bigotry

(This probably is rambly because it’s almost 2 in the morning and these are half asleep thoughts)

Maybe this is just a me thing- or maybe this is glaringly obvious, but it’s so strange to me that a lot of the fandoms that get the most hate are ones where non-conforming people make up a lot of the fandom.

Steven universe and Hazbin Hotel/ Helluva boss are the first things that come to mind. Women, LGBTQ+ people, and neurodivergent people are a huuuge part of the fandom. Do they do some questionable and problematic stuff sometimes? Yeah- but what fandom doesn’t?

Things like Fnaf, Star Wars, etc. that have a large male audience are rarely treated the same way. Even though they used to be considered “uncool”, you were just nerdy or a little weird if you were into them(especially if you were a dude). Now a days people generally would think you’re a dick if you’re making fun of people for liking these things.

There were way weirder cartoons on back when Steven universe was airing. There are weirder things on now- the boys, Rick and Morty, both shows I do enjoy, but If their audience didn’t have a large amount of members that were/are cis men- they’d also either be ‘weird’ or at the very least not as well liked.

Even shows that are popular- think shows enjoyed mostly by women. Twilight, the vampire diaries- they’re generally considered cringy by people who don’t enjoy them. And men will make fun of women for enjoying it- this is less obvious than my previous examples because a lot of women who are considered “normal” like these shows. That doesn’t stop them from getting made fun of for liking them, or judged- mostly by men. A lot of the hate I see for something like twilight outside of men just calling it dumb is actually well structured analysis of the books and movies, not just bullying.

I don’t think I’ve seen many shows that can get away with marketing to young adults who aren’t men. They are either blasted on the internet like the people who like them are some kind of cringy freaks (Steven universe, Hazbin hotel, etc), or they fade into obscurity or get canceled (inside job, tuca and birdie).

If something is weird- it has to be for men, or it’s suddenly a crime to enjoy it.

P.S.

This is also seen inside fandoms that have become more socially acceptable. When people are nerdy in ways that aren’t necessarily ‘cool’ or generally accepted they are often bullied by not just other people, but people in the fandom. Honestly even when more diverse people get INTO fandoms some fans go crazy. “Omg girls and gay people like Star Wars?! They’re ruining the movies!” By simply existing or posting silly little fan art videos on TikTok because they’re enjoying their media and not just letting their eyes glaze over while they watch a movie.

P.P.S.

This is of course not to say these shows or some of their creators don’t have flaws- obviously they do. However people often magnify these flaws in order to have a ‘non-bigoted’ way to make fun of people who don’t fit into their world view.

You’re not a good person if you bully neurodivergent teenagers off the internet because they like something you don’t. Do some self reflection. You can not like something and just choose not to engage with it.

P.P.P.S

The leopards will also eat your face, btw. (For those of this who it applies to. You know who you are.)

[fandomwe1rd0]

It honestly upsets me to see people being so harsh to Morty in the fandom. Not so much in Tumblr, although I wouldn't be surprised if someone here is harsh to my boy, but like in Reddit and stuff, I've seen people blame Morty for stuff like the Purge episode or hell someone even victim blamed for Vat of Acid and Rattle Ricklatica. I'm not saying Morty's perfect, he's definitely has messed up at times, but he does try to do the right thing to fault and overall is just a very good natured kid, he's probably one of the most morally good characters in this show, since he wants so badly to do right, hell in the Gotron he even put his own life in danger by rejecting a bribe because he loves his family, even though they treated him horribly in that episode.

Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Rick, he's my favorite character, but he has done far worse things than Morty (The heist episode, anyone?) And has a MUCH higher kill count than Morty, probably killed hundreds if not thousands of Ricks when searching for the Rick that killed his wife. But he hardly gets any flak from the fandom. Doesn't help that the show will portray some of his worst actions as just him being a little silly *cough* VAT OF ACID *cough* THE HEIST EPISODE *cough* RATTLESTAR RICKLATICA *cough* oof, got something in my throat, anyway, these actions are legitimately horrible, yet I see nobody calling Rick irredeemable, and I never see him victimblamed for Diane's fault.

Im not saying Rick is irredeemable or that he should get victim blamed. Nobody deserves that. But there's a ridiculous double standard when it comes to Rick and Morty. When Rick kills people, he's super bad ass and cool. But when Morty kills someone, he's a horrible person.

I think it boils down to Rick being meant to be a horrible person, that's why he has a redemption arc, so when he does bad things, people kinda hand wave it away because "he's changing!" And while that's true, that doesn't make any of his previous actions okay, he still deeply traumatized Morty. He still deserves repercussions for that.

But with Morty, a lot of times he shown as being a pretty decent kid, so when he does something wrong, people see him as some horrible person, I'm not saying that he's a flawless angel, but people don't take into account that Rick is a big reason in why Morty has repressed rage, and is the very reason why he's violent a lot of time, yet Rick gets no blame while Morty gets all of it.

₊⁺໒ Faceclaim(s): I searched high and low for the artist and came up short, if anyone knows *please* tell us

Swarm jumpscare! I was struggling hard with leaving you an appropriate ID hoard, so I recruited some help /silly. Anyway, we actually ended up splitting this one while working on him, so I hope your brain likes him as much as ours does lol! I wanted to find a proper skeletal faceclaim, but I kept getting AI slop so I do hope you'll forgive me in that regard. Thank you for your patience :)

IM SO GLAD U LIKED THE ART!!!!!!! also gdfgdfg regarding the rick and morty pants!!!! lowkey still kinda wishing i went with putting the lab rats or crash and bernstein logo on it (the latter of which i scrapped bc it was too big and the former i only thought of after posting) since i could see her enjoy those as a kid too well fdsgsdfg but hey shes allowed the silly scifi show, as a treat!!!!! -kennymcchronicle

Hey you!! Sorry it took me so long to get to this! The past couple of days have been doing everything in their power to beat me up!

No! I loved it! I loved both the shirt and the boxers. You're such a sweetheart, and I can't wait to throw art back at you!! Once the witches curse releases me!

it's time to confess we're a selfshipper. /silly

do we know what to do here? no! but we've made this now because we get very very gay for certain characters sometimes.

...and very often they tend to be blonde guys. so. that's the focus of this blog. (/silly) rn the blog is themed around Aventurine because like. he's the one who helped us realize our selfshipping is as Much as it is.

our types tend to be: monsters(/otherwise nonhumans and rather clearly so), punks, and blondes. and apparently old men(/treated as old by the media). idk.

we don't mind doubles!

we're plural and mixed origins. we're a maladaptive daydreamer, and very often we'll daydream about our f/os with an OC and then...introject the OC...

also our OCs aren't often s/is bc we struggle with making s/is due to plurality. bc of this our selfshipping is more similar to OC x canon shipping. that's kinda why we didn't make a selfship blog for a while, our "selfshipping" is a bit unorthodox.

tags are for our own loose organization somewhat

there may be some nsfw here, it'll be tagged "nsft"

we struggle to think of our f/os (memory issues). we'll add to this list below as we do.

Japanese characters' names will be written in the English speaking order.

One of the many problems with Homestuck is the target audience. I often tell people that I don't think kids younger than 15 should read the comic and I always get crazy looks for that.

Yes, I know the fandom (right now) has many kids. Yes, I've read the comic; I know its themes, contents and how they're presented. And the problems lie on that specifically.

Because Homestuck isn't and never wanted to be a fucking pedagogy example, it takes many liberties with what it narrates and how. While I agree that some themes can be treated in any media, and while I agree that adult jokes can be made in kids' medias, we have to keep in mind that certain things have to be treated properly when talking to younger audiences, and that adult jokes have to be made with a structure that doesn't allow the kid to understand what the joke acutally means (also, you can't base an entire show on adult jokes only, or having them too often, or it won't be an age appropriate show anymore). Basically; people who have in mind a target age STUDY the fucking targeted age; something Homestuck never did.

So the result is a colorful and silly and dumb webcomic, that seems appealing to unsupervised 11 year olds (I've met them in the fandom, I'm not inventing anything), that also have read a comic that talks about racism, sex, rape, pedophilia, incest, totalitarism, and things like that. As I said, you CAN have kids medias that treat those topics, but the situation with Homestuck is much more similar to the situation with Hazbin Hotel; where the media is shown as colorful and silly and funny, more inclined towards edgy kids' type of humor, yet not having kids in mind as the target audience, and so allowing way too many adult topics to be treated in the media itself, while expecting the audience to be mature enough to get it.

As I said and as I repeat myself: yes, Homestuck is dumb, but not for this reason good for kids. And when someone on TikTok dared to tell me "Oh, but these topics and details fly over children's heads" I got mad. HOW does that make it ok!? An adult joke made in 40 episodes of a kid show is one thing; a webcomic with 8k pages FULL of that stuff is another thing. Just because the themes are treated non-seriously, doesn't make stuff like, I don't know, RICK AND MORTY ok for kids.

SUMMARY: Keep kids away from Homestuck.

Unprompted Halloween asks || No longer accepting.

@muses-inn sent:

[📓]  "Trick or Treat", are the words Rick is being greeted with as he opens the door. They're delivered in a monotonous, uninterested tone. The kid in question is short, blue-haired with brown cat ears that are slightly folded sideways, and he's wearing a science coat. It looks like a wildly thrown-together costume, but it is in fact the kid's normal attire.

'I will go Trick or Treating so you stop nagging me, but I will NOT wear any silly costumes!' Leon proclaimed several hours earlier to Cloud. And that's how the humanoid-feline alien has wound up where he is now. Also, taking on the challenge that he would collect more candies than Precis, who' also up and around collecting candies elsewhere.

So, he's stretching out the wooly pumpkin bag, with this undoubtedly annoyed expression all over his face. And repeats the words again, this time with a more demanding tone. Just in case that old geezer didn't hear him before. "Trick or Treat!"

// Leon D.S. Gehste for Rick? Fashionably late as always, but I thought 'hey why not giving this a shot'

Finding out that the planet he has travelled to celebrated Halloween wasn't in Rick's plans. He's here to do some harvesting, nothing complicated or dangerous, but still time-consuming. The flowers he needs bloom briefly at specific hours throughout the local night and day, which means that he has to wait each time for it to collect their pollen.

He has figured out that, since they'll be stuck there for a few days, he could as well get started on synthesizing the compound he's working on, while Morty keeps an eye on the flowers. It's a good idea...if not for the fact that he hasn't foreseen being interrupted by trick-or-treaters.

With Morty out, when someone starts to insistently knock at the door, Rick is forced to stop what he's doing to go and see who it is. With the intention of getting rid of them as quickly as possible, naturally.

The sight of some kid in what he assumes is a cheap costume is definitely not a surprise. He can't tell who the boy is supposed to be dressed as, and he couldn't care less. These people have animal traits and magic. Who knows what sort of medias they consume.

What catches his attention is the teen's tone, flat and devoid of emotions. What the fuck is wrong with this brat? He sounds like some old guy with depression.

"I-I heard you the first time," he snaps back, leaning against the doorjamb, arms crossed over his chest. "B-But more than treats, you should get your amigdala checked out. 'C-Cause, geez, there's obviously something wrong with your brain."

He taps his own temple with a snort, then reaches out as to close the door.

"I-I don't have any fuckin' candy anyway. N-Now piss off, I-I have some very unstable chemicals I-I need to keep an eye on. U-Unless you want us all to blow up."

[hms-no-fun]

where did the inspiration for cat!dave come from. i love it btw, im just curious where it came from

catdave, like a lot of stuff in the gf3 prologue, just sort of happened. it's one of those things where in writing that chapter, jade grabbed a button that did a thing as a way to keep their villain-narrator honeypot from collapsing, and i decided to roll with it. turning dave into a house cat seemed like a fun gag, especially considering awkweet purrmusk and davepeta and all that. karkat picking up catdave with horror and protectiveness was really funny to me, just like NO HE'S MY BOYFRIEND YOU LEAVE MY SPECIAL MAN ALONE. then i thought, wait, what if a cat had time-distortion powers. what if catdave was like, i'm the hottest fucken kitty that ever did strut, i'ma slow down time and make everyone admire me. that joke alone was enough to keep catdave in, and i figured okay, we'll roll with this for a minute and then reverse it at the end and it'll be a funny anecdote. "hey remember that time dave turned into a cat?"

but unfortunately for dave, this is godfeels. i can't ever just do a fun joke about transformation. if we're gonna accept that jade has a button that can turn people into the animal they secretly want to be, that's gotta have CONSEQUENCES. what is this, fucking rick & morty??? there will be no resetting to the status quo at the end of THIS episode thank you very much!

of course by the time i got to publishing that first catdave chapter i'd figured all this out. dave's sort of defined by his repression and embarrassment at himself and his wants. i've imagined him sticking to his "i don't want to be a hero" thing very closely, and with that just kinda chilling with karkat all the time. (oh there's actually a funny pseudo-continuity error related to this-- in gf1 someone mentions what makes dave and karkat such a good couple. i'd imagined then that davekat were absolutely a totally out gay together couple. then the epilogues said actually no they were still too repressed to actually DO anything, and i decided to lean into that because two incredibly gay men no-homoing together for seven years is really funny/tragic to me from a story perspective. and since i decided to make gf2 parallel the epilogues, it seemed appropriate to fold that back in. i think in gf2 this gets papered over with june being surprised that they hadn't kissed yet? but that's def a thing that changed between fics from my perspective lmao)

so it seemed to me that catdave was a minor analogue to trickster mode- an unexpected jump straight to Personal Apotheosis without the journey necessary to give it any meaning. and that quickly mapped onto the problem of out queer people treating obvious eggs like their own Pet Project, pressuring them and pushing their boundaries even when it IS to some extent what they want. so dave keeps his cat ears and tail because he's a closeted furry with Some Gender, but because his friends all thought the transformation was funny and cute the end result was actually pushing him even further back into the closet. and since i knew that we were aiming towards davekat divorce fever anyway, that felt like the *perfect* dramatic intervention on his character. this is the hardest part of building an ensemble cast drama; giving everyone something Clear and Concise to deal with that can stand in for all their problems, so we can cut right to the chase when necessary.

this process is, in microcosm, the fundamental backbone of godfeels. it's about taking deadly seriously the personal and existential ramifications of extraordinarily silly impossible bullshit.

🦇 for DEVILWORSHIP !!!

🥀FOR OUIJA BONES

AND uhh im just gonna say 🌹for starsaviour even though you already said it was unhealthy i just. wanted to hear about it. /nf

🦇 : how did they meet? (Devilworship)

OMG thanks for askin this I've been wantin to talk about it for AGES!! (I was gonna save for a comic/story but I am a rambler at heart pff)

OKAY so they first met when Mortis joined the cult!! Bob had already been a member for a bit atp and they weren't super close at the time. So when news came out that Mortis had supposedly died shortly after leaving the cult Bob wasn't too devastated.

Fast forward a few years later (I'd say a good 10 or so years?) and they meet again. Though they didn't recognise each other as Bob was in his costume and Mortis had changed so drastically he looked like a completely different person (plus, again, it was presumed he died). They get into a violent altercation after Mortis mistakes Bob for a demon, try to kill each other, but when Mortis accidentally unmasks Bob it abruptly stops the whole thing and gives Mortis a chance to run.

Unfortunately, Mortis can't stop thinking about that night in the following days because he was paranoid that Bob had recognised him (he didn't) and would inform the cult that he was alive. So Mortis had one goal in mind, and that was to eradicate Bob. Little did Mortis know that Bob had a similar plan in mind as Mortis was now the only person in town that knew he was the man behind the devil mask and was ALSO paranoid about being reported to authorities.

They eventually meet again, intent on eradicating each other, but one scuffle later they realise they harbor each others darkest secrets. They agree to keep each others secret identities under wraps. Out of paranoia they end up staying relatively close to each other, inadvertently giving them time to get to know each other more. The rest is history :3c (also this was getting long oops)

🥀: favorite thing about your ship? (Ouijabones)

Imma be self-indulgent and say it's the fact it's my silly Moloch selfship qwq

BUT ALSO I love the fact they're so drastically different but get along due to their shared curiosities and need to learn to navigate certain things together (such as Grim navigating the weird 'curse' they have and Moloch learning to navigate the human world lol. They help each other out!!)

🌹: is their relationship healthy, or more unhealthy/complicated? (Starsaviour)

I'm glad to explain either way man!! I just wanted to specify they were unhealthy from the get-go since I didn't want people to think I was romanticising cultist x cult leader and treating it like a silly fun ship

But yeah it is extremely unhealthy. Dia has a one-sided obsession with Skid's Dad and reveres him as her saviour. She assumes he reciprocates her romantic feelings but he's just playing along as it makes it so much easier to manipulate her.

[poolboyservice]

talking abt one of my ocs because deal with it

this is like.. 100% inspired by a post a mutual made,, u'll never guess who... (@transfagfrank) but anyway :33

so he's a zombie and his name is Bret Cooper (no he's not named after transphobic commentator brett cooper, i just swapped the lettering in "bert" and got cooper from a name generator since i cldnt thimk of one), he's like... 33, 34-ish and he lives in a lil house thingy

because of his rigor mortis bret doesn't use stuff like daggers, lassos, or even guns but the rigor mortis does, in a way, help him keep a really tight grip on things

one of his (sort of, not rlly) friends is a vampire named Emmett Webb (I'll talk about him in a later post)

he doesn't remember much of his human life, but he was a single father of 3 before getting infected and dying a slow, painful death. his kids fully believes their dad is completely dead and none of them will even see him as an undead

anyway enough of all that dumb lore i have for him nd stuff, time to list silly shit abt him:

his favorite kind of "food" (if you can even call it that) is eyeball juiced with blood and a small bit of whisky, yk as a treat

he can't sleep for too long because then rigor mortis will progress pretty quickly and it'll be a pain in the ass to get the muscles to work again

he's often very quiet, yet explorative, which can sometimes scare the shit out of people by how quickly yet quietly he can get to places

he used to play guitar when he was alive but now he can't really since he died so he just has these random blisters on his hands and he doesn't know why

if he were in this current time period he'd probably be the one who'd have to go around in public with full on protective gloves and one of those backpack - leashes for kids because he'll either explore too much and get into trouble or accidentally hurt himself or others

he has a biting problem so he has to have a bunch of chewing tobacco or really anything he can chew on because if not he will literally tear down your entire house by biting at everything

yeah that's kind of all </3 so ya ,, sorry for bad grammar and shit
