Also I'm not responsible if you have a fear of rats or weird animals. It's your responsibility. Don't blame me for it. I also have phobias too but I don't drag people into them and actively work on them and recovery. Don't make rat/rodent/frogs/fish/reptiles/invert owners feel ashamed by constantly tagging their posts to censor them.

Look lets be honest, we all know student body president doesn’t do SHIT in high school and none of what they do affects anything for any students. With this thought in mind, would you rather vote for the preppy, annoying, “better than everyone because I believe I deserve it” girl who cheats the system you have to deal with, or the coolest girl in school who is kind to everybody and saved the world THREE TIMES because of that fucked system, and also did a sick shrimp jump at this cool party everyone was invited to without discrimination

I aspire to be as good a musical artist as this rat

BANG OUT THEM TUNES!

I just remembered I made an entire Google doc about how to take care of rats instead of writing an essay. I tell you all about the rat doc not the essay tho.

Splinter mutation speculation! This one is actually pretty old, I drew it before I did all that research on turtles :)

Fun facts about rats: When they are happy, they do a thing called bruxing and boggling, wherein they will grind their teeth together sometimes to the point where the muscles of their jaw make their eyes wiggle in their sockets. They also don’t have paw pads the way dogs or cats do, but instead have little bumps of thicker skin. Look up happy pet rats, they’re absolutely adorable!

These are mostly just my head canons for Splinter as an old jokester with a messed up past trying to do better for the future. We don’t actually see much of him in the show despite dialogue refrencing his daily lessons and his great ‘embarrassing dad’ comedy, so I wanted to speculate of how he might be when the cameras not rolling, per se. It’s tough being the single father of four teenagers without the help of a community, but the brothers are pretty well adjusted (relatively speaking) and are loving towards each other and open to others.

In terms of his anatomy though, while rats may look chubby, it’s in part because of their curved spine and rodent posture. They can get pretty slim when they stretch out. It may be because of these changes to his skeleton that Splinter seemingly shank so much from his human form, while still having the strength to beat people up despite his age. He also made a vow to stop fighting in the Battle Nexus leading to his eventual mutation, which he does break when his kids are on the line, but could be a reason as to why he avoided many of their squabbles in the show? Who knows!

There’s a lot to work with from little characterizations, and it’s fun to see all the different interpretations of his character!

My older brother who is a piece of shit because he fears his own emotions which is understandable but also irresponsible because he takes his fear out on those that love him, used to call me, my younger siblings, and friends rats and it’s really cool how now rats aren’t viewed as disgusting plague creatures but lovable miniature friends.

I would have a rat. I don't care if that's basic too. They're fricking cute

Specify in the tags please what species or breed of animal you would choose as a witches familiar if the most obvious were off the table

Let's have fun with this

For example for me it would be a great white shark

Also yes men you can interact with this poll too

I was looking at wererats (I was reading about old English terms for people and ended up doing the why aren’t there wifwolves thing) and I have to say that I believe a rat contributed to writing this page

Anyway: it is weird about the lack of wifwolves

And yes, I like rats
