This is a pretty good point in the wip to share this, methinks :]

Map part for the hole dwelling map, starring... Not my ocs! I wanted to use ocs, but I don't have any-- so I just used the characters from a fic I was reading at the time 😂

Turns out, the symbolism was so much fun to twist into the 11 seconds I had to work with, I ended up going way more complex than I meant to. If you wanna read the fic this was based on, please do!! And tell the author I said hi! :D

*yeets this and runs*

My hand regrets my decision to try for more realistic wings, frankly

Transcriptions:

Mabel Pines - Steller's Jay

Dipper Pines - Blue Jay

fledglings

can't quite fly yet

wing's aren't adult-sized yet

Dipper often forgets to preen

Mabel likes to put glitter in her wings (and Dipper's, when possible)

Dipper collects his primaries to make quill pens

Mabel collects their feathers for crafting

Yeah so I'm just gonna drop this here and uhhhhh run, thanks for checking this, and I hope you have a good day

Question: what’s your source on the phytoestrogens? Bc the only times I’ve ever heard that claim, they all source back to this one study on sheep in like the 40s, which… well it’s not very well supported

(Although maybe you don’t care about that, which would be fair. These are fictional cats after all not clinical studies)

You're probably coming from Hbomberguy when he was specifically addressing lunkhead chuds, who pass around the claim that phytoestrogens lower human fertility and sex drive. The "soyboy" claim.

Human studies on the effects of phytoestrogens are pretty lacking overall, but what does exist doesn't back up that claim-- because humans don't graze on red clover in west australia like a sheep. What that means is that it doesn't impact human fertility the way a terrified conservative brain stem thinks it does.

(ESPECIALLY not in a plate of soybeans, which has significantly lower levels of phytoestrogen than red clover.)

But what it DOES do is bind to the estrogen receptors in your body (and acts as a really good antioxidant but that's neither here nor there) which can mean it can act AS estrogen... or as an antagonist.

If you want to know more (especially if you have a background in chemistry, this source talks a lot about the structural similarities between estrogen and phytoestrogen and the mechanism of action) then go dive into PHYTOESTROGENS IN FUNCTIONAL FOOD by Fatih Yildiz, which collects together many of the studies that we do have on the matter and omits controversial ones.

(Plus it's an easy read for such a science-heavy publication imo)

Though I have to stress that my HRT guide is, y'know, fake cats! Nothing in nature replaces modern medicine***, but I wanted to make a good resource for WC fans with trans cats who wanted a little bit of scientific accuracy, wanted to cut herbs that cast Liver Failure 1000 on felines, and could reasonably be found in a temperate environment

***= Except medicinal maggots. Medicinal maggots are literally magical. Nothing debrides necrotic tissue like green bottlefly larvae and as far as I'm concerned they're the closest thing to divinity we have on this earth. And medicinal leeches I love you leeches im so sorry that anyone has ever called you a pest you're cherubic angels and she doesnt deserve this </3

You are being adopted!

Hop looks at him for a second. A Donnie with a hat and gloves. Yep, not suspicious at all... he thinks to himself. But hey, he never says no to more brothers. It's not like he can half of the time. Also even though he has a big brother that can definitely kill, he really doesn't ever again wants to ask him to do so in any case... so...

"Yeah, that does sound like a good deal." He shrugs and signs the papers. The looks back to this alternative... timeline? Donnie. "What was your name again?"

Penelope definitely has teeth sharp/strong enough to chew through bone if she wants to.

Telemachus does too but probably not AS strong as he's only like, 37.5% Naiad. And he definitely has to be more careful about it.

Lil thing but as Penelope grew up with a lot of river fish in Sparta, she was kind of sad that Ithaca wasn't as abundant with them. PLENTY of seafood but not a lot of river food, you know?

Telemachus, although Naiad (freshwater) as well, grew up with more seafood because he's ALWAYS been around it and DOES like it quite a bit. And while Penelope eats it, it's not her favorite.

She always let him have whatever he wanted but as he got older he realized, "Oh, Mom really loves sturgeon...but she doesn't get as excited about shrimp/marlin/etc. like I do." and said something about him preferring seafood more. Especially while the suitors were around and they were eating a lot of everything and she couldn't leave the palace as easily. :'D
