I wish I was born in the right body. Not just because i am a boy inside. But because if i had been, i would have been diagnosed with autism as a young child, and I wouldn’t have been raped at 7 by my brother.

Sometimes I think about that. That not only id be who I truly am, but I wouldn’t have these chronic conditions and sight impaired because sexual abuse is connected to your health.

And I wouldn’t have ZERO friends. Or be a child being told “I can’t be friends with you anymore because my mum said you’re too bad to hang around with.” Or being told by teachers that you’re constantly bad or “always misbehaving”. In and out of the parent’s evenings. When all along it was fucking autism.

And now I have to watch it happen to someone I’m close too. All the things I didn’t fucking have. The support. The help. And I’d have too hear about it when his mum brings him round or drops him round. And honestly, I know it sounds bad but I might just have to avoid him and his mum. Because I don’t want to get angry or upset in front of anyone.

It was right IN FRONT OF their faces! right there! And not one person helped. And when the therapists I saw bought it up to my former GP she did NOTHING! She ignored every fucking word! I wish everyday that I knew that back then, and I wish that when I did find out I’d wrap my hands around her scrawny fucking neck! And I wouldn’t have stopped. I’d have kept going right up until she passed out.

I was set up to fail. I was born to fail. That’s the truth. No one wanted me to be successful, not doctors. Not family. Not friends. Not therapists. And not even GOD (if he even exists).

I was born with a fucking deformity for fuck sake! A fucking visible one at that. Tell me now, that I wasn’t born to be successful? Tell me now, that I wasn’t born to be bullied, to be hated by everyone?

Maybe I should have just ended my life at 9 years old instead of just self harming. Because I just can’t cope anymore, the failings. They are getting to become a daily occurrence now and more proof that I should have just died or not been born. It would be better for me. And better for everyone else to know I never existed.

Hello there! I discovered your blog not too long ago and just want to say I am enamored with your character designs and world building! Call me basic, but I'm quite fond of Theo; which begs the question: since Theo's mom is an ermine and his dad is a rat, is he technically a hybrid? Or is he genetically speaking a "pure" rat? If not, are there any physical traits that might separate from a typical rat? Pardon the numerous questions; love your work!

Interesting question! Putting Theo and his his father side-by-side can help elucidate this. Leonard is what you'd call a "normal" rat, but Theo isn't a normal anything.

Comparing the two, Theo has some ermine-like traits: his ears are slightly fuzzy instead of bald, and he has sharp, carnivorous teeth in addition to his more ratlike incisors. Of course, he a variety of other odd attributes, which make it harder to discern if these anomalous features are due to hybridization precisely or myriad other genetic quirks.

Theo has many peculiarities that aren't hybrid traits, but a mix of congenital health conditions (his supernumerary teeth and dwarfism, for example) and what I'd call "basal traits," sort of animalistic throwback features that people usually lack (his more backwards-shifted foramen magnum, which gives him a slightly hunched posture when upright, or his lack of hair). He's also just kind of ugly. These things separate him not just from your "typical" rat-people, but most people in general.

To circle back and answer your question: Theo wasn't identified as a hybrid when he was born, even though you could make the argument that he qualifies. Though hybrids don't face the same degree of stigma in the modern era as they did in the time of the Old Kingdoms, they do still face some scrutiny. Leonard and Jo could get away with identifying Theo as "just" a rat since his other more blatant issues obfuscate any hybridization, which frees him of at least one potentially embarrassing label when he already has plenty stacked on him.

That said, even if he goes along with the non-hybrid label, Theo secretly prefers thinking of himself as having hybridized ermine traits. Probably more of them than he actually has. It's a mommy issue/daddy issue thing.

Well your "Dumb thing that wouldn't leave your brain" nearly made me wake up my partner who is asleep next to me lol

Honestly this fandoms artists making Viktor and/or Jayce (honestly usually both I've noticed, its awesome) is so good. Makes me very happy to see so often, being transmasc myself.

I'm so honored by people legitimately laughing out loud at it lolol thank you

And yea I feel like trans Jayvik is such a beautiful self sustaining ecosystem cause I have seen so much trans Viktor stuff that whenever I see cis Viktor I'm like "where are his top surgery scars???" forgetting that he is not, in fact, canonically trans

"...Hello? Ma! I told you not to call me today, I'm making a movie!" -Wario, Mario Power Tennis

The most important lesson from Ma that Wario took to heart was the endless pursuit of cold, hard cash. Unfortunately, the one lesson she could never teach him was the importance of hard work to get it.  It wasn't for lack of trying; Wario's Ma is the hardest worker this side of the Mushroom Kingdom.  Raising Baby Wario was a herculean enough task on its own, but ever the enterprising spirit, she had also set out to grow one of the most profitable crops: garlic.

Her backyard business quickly expanded into a veritable garlic empire. Wario's mother toiled away tirelessly each day from sunrise to sunset to grow and harvest as much garlic as she could possibly achieve.  Much of Wario's current strength and endurance can be attributed to helping his mom on the farm as a child, although the teeth-pulling task of getting him to actually work was almost as difficult as preventing him from eating all the garlic straight out of the ground.  Wario's nose for instant gratification has always been a thorn in his mother's side, but try as she might to instill a solid work ethic into the boy, her "get-rich-slow" schemes could never appeal to him.  Still, Wario enjoyed his surprisingly agrarian upbringing. Along with garlic, his mother also raised chickens for eggs, inspiring in Wario a lifelong soft spot for poultry.  (He also had a pet hamster named Fluffy, who sadly passed away in 1986.)

Today, Wario is still on good terms with his mother despite their physical distance, and frequent phone calls keep her updated on all of Wario's business successes.  Of course, being Wario, he heavily embellishes the amount of work he actually does at his company.  If she only knew...
