A general note!

[canbedeceiving]

So! This is rather (read: extremely) belated, but now is better than never. This is a general note to anyone threading with the animals of the Pet Shop! The information here has mostly been implied, but never outright stated, so the cast is fixing that. (read as: I like to type a lot) Part of this is me speculating, so feel free to leave questions

SPECIAL NOTE: SOMETIMES YOU ONLY GET ONE FORM BECAUSE THE CHARACTER RUNS OUT OF ICONS.

That said, Honlon will do a switchy thing much less frequently mid-thread (or at least not without warning) because teeny girl --> hugeass dragon will probably give a few other characters heart attacks. :'(

And there are exceptions sometimes, right? Like--people who can only see one form or the other. I forget whom this would apply to, though. Possibly the Sohmas.

A CONVENIENT EXPLANATION FOR WHEN OUR ACCOUNTS RUN OUT :Db Also you can be a giant dragon at me any time, cutie pie.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but canon is confusing enough as it is on the appearance the animals take that going into that territory will possibly make my brain explode and leak out my ears.

[beastriality]

Yeah uh. Sometimes the logic makes no sense! Say Honlon is destroying a room and takes out a chunk of the ceiling with her ... tail? Anyone who saw the giant dragon would know what caused that, but if you only saw the little girl it'd be ... a kid having a freakout as the room collapsed around her.

Also people who carry out a light adorable child in their arms which is in reality a huge horned horse. Or the ones that are actually tiny bugs that DO THE HOUSEHOLD CHORES--

s-sob i'm going to class now really

REALLY, IS IT ANY WONDER THAT CUSTOMERS GO 'WTF' AT OUR ANTICS ALL THE TIME? I think not.

it's not fair how I'm one of his most prized and powerful animals except I'm the one stuck with babysitting duty. also the one that gets carried around a lot :/
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE BIG AND SCARY, DAMMIT.

As an additional note, though Fehmut is technically a PSoH animal, I'm playing it differently because his situation is very different in canon in that he does actually have two forms that he shifts between at will. And is dead, unlike most of the pets, l-lol.

F-fehmut ;;

IT WORKS I just wanted to make this post for the folks who have no idea what's going on. Not that. I know what's going on, but at least I made a valiant attempt?!

[pharaohwantmilk]

IT MAKES SENSE TO ME. But people who're just reading Shin Petshop might not be aware that Fehmut's ~*~SPESHUL~*~, so |D ♥

[canbedeceiving]

Yeah, this is about as close to a semi-logical explanation for the non-canon familiar outside of "JUST READ THE MANGA, IT'LL MAKE SENSE THEN."

[long_dragon]

I'm just here to say that ilu and I need to thread with you all more.
