Hey! Could I request some tips for a fictionkin of Tab from the Orin Ayo Fancomic Wrong Body? It's directly on tumblr but I'll embed the link for you!
I'm also a questioning rat therian so maybe some tips for that too?

(BTW its perfectly fine if you deny the request! I understand!)
Hi! Thanks for the link, that helped a lot in making sure I had the right source! /g
I hope I'll do good, as I did read through it, but am not all that familiar with the character (you made me discover the comic! /pos) /g ^^
Tab fictionkin tips (Orin Ayo Wrong Body)
Stay true to your limits and decisions. Tab is described as strict, so don't fold over anything, be decisive.
You could start a faux cult maybe if that's not triggering for you, and tailor it to the one Tab has in the comic! (a faux cult is a neoreligion structured like a cult, but not using the bite model, making it non-abusive, healthy and consensual!) It could be a fun little project and community too!
Use the same pronouns as him! (all pronouns)
You can also go by Tab online and maybe with close friends, as a nickname
Don't be shy and playfully flirt with people!
If you can, try not to fawn over small things. She's described as cold-hearted, but that doesn't mean you have to stop caring. Letting small things go without caring might already feel cold-hearted depending on you!
Give people nicknames! You can, if they're comfortable with it, only call them that too
First off, when questioning a kin, don't forget it's okay if it takes a while to find answers and that having it wrong is completely okay!
Learn about rats! There's many kinds, and one might resonate more than another.
Look at their behaviors: do you do the same? would you like to?
If you're a spiritual therian, guided meditations can help with past life memories
Whether you're spiritual or not, meditation (of that's something that fits you) can be a great way to clear your thoughts and explore your inner self!
If meditation is not your speed, journaling maybe is! Journaling about your feelings about rats, how you relate to them and why, might clear things up!
Rats chew a lot to keep their teeth healthy, so chew toys and other chewy snacks/things can be really great for ratkins!
Rats are rather nocturnal and pretty active fellas, so if you're full of energy at night it might relate to that nocturnal nature!
Rats have a very string sense of smell, so taking time to notice smells around you might help you feel more connected to them
If you're looking for a snack, seeds and raw fruit and veggies are crunchy and nutritious snacks that'd fit a rat(kin)
