/ I constantly think of what would have happened if Ratigan was raised by rats instead of a mouse. Not like, his OG rat family and colony, they were toxic assholes.

But like, a family that cared about him and showed him the ropes? Showed him to survive properly and fed him and sheltered him and didn't let anything happen to him.

I mean... Moriarty did the same, but he raised him in a way where he started to think of himself as a MOUSE in a bad way and he pushed back the rat side of him that is important for his growth and knowing about himself.

Its wild to think of how he'd turn out if he was raised by another.
