#rumi does need to wear a helmet for derby but her helmet probably just has antler sized holes at the top for her baby antlers

Actually tbh now I’m thinking about all the ways that deer furries can have their antlers altered. Since they stop shedding after puberty and keep a permanent set into adulthood, there’s an actual incentive to coming up with Creative Modifications. Many gender affirming. Debudding, implants, honestly magnetic antlers are probably huge both for deer who work in construction and need to wear hard hats or cyclists who need to wear helmets constantly but also for gender fluid or gnc deer who just want to Switch things up day to day….shaving for deer who have impractically Huge Racks. Prosthetics for deer who lose theirs to trauma. What if they’re repairing shattered antlers with Kintsugi. What if the kids are flipping their heads upside down into soup pots full of rit dye or koolaid to stain their antlers blue. Carving. Bone burning. Sharpening………
