I've always liked mice! even as a little kid I would draw mouse people on people's birthday cards and the like. they're small, they're cute, they're very inoffensive. and they like cheese! I like cheese!

when I transitioned, I really leaned into the "mouse girl" bit because so many trans women I knew playfully identified as catgirls, and I felt so intimidated around them (but in a hopeful, doing-my-best-to-fit-in way) that it became a very useful social shorthand

but, as was revealed by my mom unearthing some pictures I drew as a kid, the mouse part was there all along ^^

rats are big mice! and mice are small rats!

but usually the best way to tell is that rats will usually have bare, almost scaly tails (represented with the little segmented lines) whereas mice's tails are usually covered in fur!

the more you know! ^^

As I understand it we have quite a few robot girls and mouse girls on cohost. If we have any robot mouse girls, you may want to check out the level "Downsize Surprise" in Astrobot
