The grandkid's all right

Even before I posted my blog about the mother-Lord Huron- Windsor connection, the front Bub texted me with some pointed questions about his grandmother's recreational habits.

I knew right away where it was going and that's exactly where it went - straight to the stage of the Colosseum, the concert venue at Caesar's casino in Windsor.

In between the songs he spun a loving little yarn about his grandmother's enthusiasm for video poker - and life in general.

Apropos of nothing since it’s always a thing that bounces around in my head but, eh, fuck, I hate rats. I had put up with it for the fans and such but I fucking hate them. I kept a few of the plushies for the tours but after I was done, they went to various kids in the Ministry. I might’ve kept one in a memory trunk kinda thing. That’s about it.

I don’t identify with rats. I don’t speak kindly of them. I have zero love for rats. The fact my paint was rat-based, too, fucks me up a bit. I am so glad the nose didn’t stay. I could pretend it was just abstract especially after the shape of the black parts were literally carved into me. (Thanks, mom.)

Don’t get me wrong, though. I didn’t go out of my way to, like, kill them or anything. I would do humane captures and have them released kilometers away from headquarters if wild ones ended up inside. People could keep them as pets if they wanted. Just not me.

It was funny when I found myself to be a kitten therian. Literally, a little kitty cat still needing milk. That’s how young that bit of my identity feels. Kinda relevant when I keep getting shoved into roles I’m actually ill-prepared for, I suppose. (Thanks, mom.) I also acknowledge that my being a kitten is a weird mental juxtaposition when you look at me. I am not tiny of young or anything like that.

And, honestly, I have no ill towards anyone who do associate Copia with rats. There’s a lot of interesting fan work of Copia keeping rats or liking them. It’s cool. It’s good work. The art and fics are compelling enough.

Names, locations, history…

The comics aren’t canon that’s for sure.
