@formaldehydedoesstuff replied to your post “Anyone got any hugs or OC asks to send my way? I’m just coming down...”
Hey! Do you have any OCs who were/are really attached to a pet/critter companion? Tell me about 'em if you do. If no, who would maybe benefit from such a thing?
Oh man, sorry for the long wait. It was a little too big a question when it came, for some reason, and then I wanted to give it some real thought. ;;;;;
But, someone who has a pet he loves is Liam, who has had a cat who purrs like the thunder, Toire, move into his apartment. Not much choice on his part, but he loves her and her little babies, and she helps him calm down when he has nightmares. Eventually, she probably helps him cope a lot with his past as an abuse survivor.
Then there’s Sabiel, who is a critter companion. Or not really, but he really does act like the little black kitten me and Kana likes to liken him to. He would benefit greatly from having a pet of some sort, since he has a lot of anxiety. Preferably something very soft that purrs.
Rowan doesn’t have any such support companions in her canon, but something I love adding in AUs are Rakta and Andherra. Sometimes they’re dogs saved from a fighting ring, hunting dogs, or hell hounds. But they always look like Doberman Pincers, and Rowan loves them so, so much. And yes, in some stories they most definitely act as emotional support animals, especially when they come from a rough background.
Miranda... Uh, she kinda treats all her offspring as her emotional support animals when they’re in cat-form. It helps that they all love snuggling up to her and get head scratches.
Thank you so much for asking. <3
