#rice bitty

I'm mainly asking how their dynamic works, and if this changes their actions/personalities at all, as I've read all I could find about these two and their pairing, I haven't been able to find a post where you go in depth on the differences between a Rice being the dominant one, and a BossMouse being the dominant one. This is all I need to really get the story going, as I really want to be accurate on this front.

Also, would being runaways from a fighting ring change any core traits? Like would a Rice still be a masochist, or would that be seriously toned down? Ive already put in my notes things like how its mainly only sudden noises they hate now, and how they can tolerate burning plastic smells more from their time in the dump, but its things like that I decided I might want to double check with you as well.

I also reblogged a post with some of these questions, but decided I should actually send in an ask, lol.

(This Post will be answering the second half about the fighting ring and how this effects them)

There will be two parts! (The first bit will take a bit longer at the rate I’m going ^^’)

Rice and BM definitely do change!!

Especially with a Dominant Rice or Bouse

The paranoia, aggression, and sadistic/masochistic levels will indeed increase, becoming more fight then flight, they will talk smack a lot more, be verbally and physically aggressive, size others up often and look for escape routs when vulnerable ( Dominant/Protector )

The Treasure, on the other hand will be more calculative, quieting down when in crowds, being more observant and far more nippy, they will always have things a certain way, will fidget with their jewelry, paws, tail or ears more often, and pick at their wounds. They will also have a tendency to not wear anything around the neck or on the ears, because they fear being choked or having the item ripped out. But they will wear things around the tail, probably sharp and prickly to prevent grabbing- as well as around the wrists and ankles, they do t usually wear as much jewelry as the average Bouse or Rice you will typically see and instead hide the items away only wearing them on special occasions.

Both, because they are hard of hearing, will be far more jumpy, by heavily tapping things nearby to get their attention you can ease them into your presence and prevent startling them too bad.

They will most likely detest the noise of angry shouting, loud bells, crackling, mic sounds in general, banging, barking large dogs, and even in some cases will even heavily detest or become stiff when hearing an announcer like voice.

Smells are a tricky subject, their noses can be sensitive so it is not uncommon for them to cover their mouths and noses with fabrics and other things that may help block the scents, strong herbs, charcoal, soap, flowers, salts, but NEVER perfumes!

Most BM and Rice are used to the smell of burning plastic though! Unless they are a newer pair, but because your pair is not you do not need to worry about that. However you are slightly right about a tolerance for the burning plastic since they are mixed with other substances and chemicals in the dump, they would definitely build up a better tolerance to it but not completely, chemicals can damage their noses after all- they would become so used to the smell that they might not even notice their loss of smell.

Rices do Indeed become much more masochist! As well as BMs become far more sadistic, each become a little more cruel because of the environment, and may act out these things without proper guidance. It will be your job to either help redirect or correct these behaviors so that you and others may not become hurt.

Protector and Treasure are supposed to balance one another out. And it will be explained hopefully more in the next post, but the main thing about them is that one

Protects, defends, makes shelter, creates safety, security and makes the treasure happy

The other, Redirects, Plans, Schemes, calculates, organizes, and heals their Protector

Now this can change, not every BM and Rice are the same, some pairs will actually swap traits, some will completely swap their dynamic in extremely rare cases despite one or the other being the Treasure or Protector. This is just the most common dynamic that forms.

Kind of like a Warrior and Healer party in a way ^^

Hello!

I would like to know which bitties would be best for people who do scrapping?

They would most likely need to be okay with a dirty space, as work areas are seemingly perpetually dirty in some way, even when me and my dad clean our place pretty often, there's still some kind of mess, usually residues like dust or screws about.

They would also need to be ok with loud noises, as even though sawzalls and grinders aren't used often, they are very loud machines and are good to take into account

I'm asking because I plan on making a short(ish) story about someone who scraps and also ends up with some bitties.

P.S. I am asking other bitty shops the same question, so don't feel bad if yours doesn't get in the story. I am able to send you the story either way if you so with.

Oh I would definitely say my Rice and BossMouse pair- however loud noises can be painful-

I could make a hard of hearing pair though this might cause conflict or trouble for your character-

not only that but a double hard of hearing pair would be extremely rare and almost a one in a trillion chance to happen due to how my pairing system for my BossMouses and Rice work- (the weakest go with the strongest) perhaps… a rescue pair-? yes yes-! Most likely a fighting ring pair- they will be extremely jumpy- and because if the noise constantly they will had damaged ears-

this is a common Injured and disability from a Pit fighter BM and Rice!

both love scraping and gems and making jewelry! Their quick on their feet, very sensitive to different things like vibrations and smells, they make and Shape their own jewelry by breaking and bending scrap and gems of different kinds! They shape form and melt metals with innovation and a very smart! Creating their own little machines and weapons using scrap and such things! ^^ and they don’t mind mess at all! In fact they thrive in it by making secret stashes and nests in ones messy piles!

So long as it is a quiet place Toro’s usually don’t like to complain but they do like soft pillows and blankets to snuggle up and relax in ! That paired with soft lights or dim light and plenty of snacks and drinks! Water is much more preferable though for them-

Oh and a white Noise machine may help to get them to fall asleep better!

BM and Rice like shiny toys and trinkets so glittery items so long as it is safe for consumption or safe to chew on should do well for them, they tend to adore softer chew toys, scratch pads, and cat trees to climb around on

much like ferrets they will dig and play in a basket of dry noodles and will try to bury and dig into different things I suggest blankets and pillow piles for them to ‘burrow’ into

Rice and BossMouse’s also have a likening for rewarding puzzle like items and games, they will also happily take things apart to use them how they like so be careful when giving them anything electrical-

I Can also give a recommendation of types any toys not to get-

❌ Squeaky Toys (Hurts Ears and Scares Them) bells however are okay so long as it isn’t too loud

❌ Bright Neon Colored toys (Irritates The Eyes)

❌ Artificially scented Toys (May irritate their senses)

❌ Very Low Quality and Small toys (May accidentally swallow something on the toy that is toxic)

❌ Painted Toys (Not really good and may cause poisoning)

❌ Any type of Wooden Bird Toy (I find that they get splinters often from these in their bones and joints which can be painful)

❌ Spiky Balls (May damage smaller bitties)

❌ Hard Toys (if it can hit like a bat or cause pain with a hit it probably isn’t good for Smaller much more vulnerable Bitties)

I hope this helps! Please ask away if you have any more questions! ^^

All of my Bitties are compatible/Tolerant or okay with one another to a degree unless said otherwise!

so long as you meet the requirements of care it should be perfectly fine- BM’s and Rices actually have a high tendency to hide inside the rib cages of a Toro when frightened suddenly so if anything it should be perfect for anew environment- I like to acclimate a lot of my bitties to each other just in case they get adopted together so don’t worry too much!
