> Well. Alexa had been too preoccupied with the whole ‘trying not to look like a mess while shedding velvet’ business that he hadn’t considered the implication of velvet-shedding coming to an end. Well. That’s great. In a few weeks, it’ll be rut season.

#// i KNOW bologna is pork but I couldn't think of a good deer pun for spaghetti bolognese and I don't get paid for this.#if you're NEW HERE. he's usually in bad enough health that he doesn't have a rly bad rut season. and only sheds/grows antlers on a like #3yr avg cycle. (that's just an average though.) antlers are shed when post-rut testosterone levels drop. if alexa's in bad enough health #then the rut testosterone increase isn't significant enough that the drop is significant. and thus his antlers don't get the 'signal' to #shed. also deer have behaviors other than wanting 2 frick during rut. they get territorial and fighty and stupid.#also for the new ppl: for him the urge to frick comes in the form of 1) INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS akin to the voice telling him to JUMP when he's #on a high up balcony for example. 1b) these are specifically regarding the urge to /mate to procreate/ not just hook up.#2) the actual physiological experience of hornee.#he's only laid this out for one person so don't metagame. I'm just explaining 4 the ppl who weren't here last year.#also the intrusive thoughts and physical sensation don't... connect?#he's described it as akin to the nausea/food aversion that happens on a stimulant bender. and KNOWING he's hungry. ex. his stomach is #growling and aching and eating itself. he has low blood sugar fatigue and trembling hands. objectively these are signs of him being hungry.#but he's so nauseated and food is so unappealing that it all looks like plastic. or rotting garbage.#it doesn't look like a solution to the hunger problem. rut is like that except on top of that his brain is metaphorically going #'hey buddy here's the urge to eat that rotting garbage :3' it's rly not a good time. so he's hoping he's in bad enough health that it's not #an issue this year! maybe he will sabotage his health for good measure. yeah good thinking alexa 10/10.
