this was great! admittedly it took me a little too long to understand the chronology, but this made me emotional. i'm cis and don't want a family, so i appreciate when there are stories like this that make me consider an issue i haven't thought about before. i know the backgrounds are rough but i really love them like that. artie's antlers are cool, too !! thank you
Fun fact:originally, we wanted to have a scene in which Antie removes his prosthetic antlers to reveal his hidden growing spikes (as a result of being on T for a long time).
For those who don't know about deer, spikes are the very first set of antlers a deer grows in their life. As Artie never had any prior to this set, his antlers grow as spikes.
