#which I mostly don't remember now but there were definitely caves involved

GOODNIGHT BABS !!!!!!

MEAH MEAH MWAH MWAH MWAHHHH

CAL OBVIOUSLY THIS IS FROM LAST NIGHT BUT I WANTED TO ANSWER ANYWAYS SHSJSKSKSK ILY!!! I actually slept pretty well so perhaps this is why 😌

okay so bear with me here. for some reason i had an unshakable need to draw the layout of corner diner in order to finish my ntw mickey fanart and i am being a very brave girl and showing you now 😂 there may have been a group effort involved to collect all the mentions of where things were etc. so like... how close did we get? 😝

Omg this is amazing, and very close! This inspired me to dig up the half-finished 1:50 scale plans and model I made of the diner in 2016 (I thought I had thrown it out just last month, but I found it!)

(Oh and... did you send me an ask about the diner logo a while back? I got a wonderful ask about the logo which compelled me enough to crawl out of my cave to answer it. And I started and left it in drafts to find my old design files, and then time happened. And now I can't find it anywhere, so if that was you or anyone else reading this, I'm sorry! I was so excited to yap about graphic design for way too long, but I failed! And now I don't actually remember what the ask was specifically asking me about. So if you or anyone else recognise this, please send it again if you want!)

Some diner pictures under the cut!

Found it in the literal corner of my attic, it has survived several moves and a very recent attic purge. It is very unfinished and damaged, but still here!

I remember thinking that the kitchen ended up a bit too big, and I was going to change that once I'd made all the furniture and such and gotten a better feeling for the space, and looking at it now I agree with my past self. I'd probably compress the whole room a lot and remove some of the storage, and definitely re-arrange the tables (the first plan was mostly just to see how much would fit in the space). This is closer to what it's like in my head:

And I also found the actual cd covers I made for Ian's band, and some test tour posters... I uh, I was doing my illustration BA and used every opportunity I had to incorporate NTW into my course work 😂

Being a person who is submissive, loves pet play, and loves mushrooms, I absolutely ADORE Morell and wish I could be his piglet. I’m AFAB and trans masc (pre T), how would he react to someone like me? Would he be confused about how to refer to me when he can clearly see my identity doesn’t match my body? Would he get it right away or would it take some time for him to get used to it?

You might have some luck with monsters who simply don't bother to look into human society all that much.

While there will always be some smart-ass trying to ""correct"" you, because let's face it, The Clergy holds no respect for humanity- A good portion of them just don't understand or care to learn about trans identities. What you refer to yourself as is vastly meaningless to them, unless they were specifically looking for a woman, in which case they'll be confused and maybe let you off the hook because huh??? What do you mean???

Morell, quite like other staff members, has no gender preference when it comes to partners. So while he did initially refer to you as a woman and used generally girly terms, it doesn't come from a place of genuine malice. That being said, there is a lot of confusion when you tell him your identity.

Curiously enough, Morell isn't questioning whether or not you're a man, he's wondering if your body is going through some sort of metamorphosis. Because he knows certain monsters shift between genders as they age for a variety of reasons, so maybe humans do the same thing! Is this healthy for you? Do you need something?

You should most definitely sit him the fuck down and explain basic concepts to this monster man. Ultimately, I don't think Morell would struggle too much with it, mostly because he doesn't bother trying to understand the full spectrum of gender identity and what it sometimes involves for individuals who don't feel at home in their bodies yet. You're a man? Alright, sure. Man it is. It changes nothing in terms of attraction.

Now remember, Morell is a yandere and drastic measures will be taken to keep you with him. You will get denied any sort of gender affirming treatment if you try to leave or generally become uncooperative. On the other hand, be his perfect piglet and you'll want for nothing. If someone keeps giving you shit about your identity around Morell, he'll just cave their skull in. No patience for it.
