--the sound of a mole scratching in the dirt--

my immense self hatred VS my delusional god complex

(When a Yorshovian sheds their secondary set of teeth (flat molar ones) and their tertiaries (sharpened ones) grow in, it’s considered a final sign of adulthood, and that period of time ( ~20 years old generally) is something of a transitional phase, with hormonal shifts not unlike a watered down puberty. Physically, there are changes in dentition and the bones of the jaws, claws will start to darken more notably, and the spectrum of sounds a Yorshovian can make (esp the volume they can reach) will have finished broadening.

Mentally, the person in question may experience moodiness, auditory fixations, and a tendency to be louder/more social or verbal than usual.  

Culturally, someone losing their secondary set of teeth is usually noted with some small celebration.  

At the time Vincent was going through this he was institutionalized. )

much like the minotaur I am a creature in some sort of situation

Overexertion creature who refuses to rest until eventually they stop for a moment and are out like a light.

you know i don’t think we often talk about how difficult it actually is to suddenly realize that a belief you thought was good and moral and correct was actually really fucking toxic. how you have to look at something and go ‘oh shit, oh i fucked up. oh this is going to take probably years at minimum to deprogram from my brain because of all the little ways this shit pervaded the rest of my beliefs’

so. to all the people picking up all the pieces of a recently shattered world-view and trying to figure out what is safe to keep and what has to be thrown away and started over

to all the people having to relearn how to even listen to other people

to all the people putting in the work to do better while struggling with the guilt that comes from finding out you were the asshole

i’m proud of y’all.

it’s hard to admit being wrong and even harder to change in the aftermath. just keep doing the best you can and just know that the effort is appreciated. everyone can change. everyone can do better. keep fighting.

For anyone who remembers these guys from when I'd drawn them years ago- I'm finally working on a proper reference for one of Yorshov's major food animals! These guys are fungivores with prominent digging/scraping teeth, and distinct sexual dimorphism (with a few different morphs among males)
