Coltland twins with The Twin Thing. Colt has a sudden unexplained panic attack one day, that suddenly dissipates. A few days later he learns that his twin brother has been sent to space on a suicide mission.
Did I accidentally make the muzzle a metaphor for masking?
Yeah, looks like it.
Did I realise that until someone pointed it out?
No. No, I did not.
Have I accidentally self-projected onto Grace again?
I may or may not be basing audhd fox!Grace's reaction to his first muzzle on the way 12 year old me sobbed and felt like clawing my own skin off when I had to start wearing bras 💀
Really big fan of fox!Grace feeling like he has to wear a muzzle once Simon is on board because he comes from a world where predators are deemed dangerous by default. He's been muzzled in public since he was a kid, and he was sent up in a muzzle as the only predator on board
Wow that got really out of hand, it was only meant to be a little thing about muzzles and societal differences 😅 I really hope this doesn't sound awkward and broken up, I was interrupted a few times while writing and people would NOT stop talking to me 😭
Also, I personally love bunny!Simon, so that's what I'm imagining here, but I also love the ram!Simon I've seen going around. I wanted him to be a prey animal for this idea, but decided to leave it open for people to imagine him as their preferred option
If you see me writing about the same thing twice...no you didnt
(My chronic illness/meds really fuck with my memory so sometimes I repeat the same things without any recollection of it 💀 be patient with me please 😭)
