In Regards to Spraying
As Skunks, we avoid talking about our urge to spray because it's what everyone first expects of us. We snuff out our fires, we try to be as docile and unthreatening as possible, because no one wants to be labeled as "trigger happy". I would be lying though, if I said there weren't times where my fear got my blood running backwards, and the anger boiled over until my tail was hiking up in an arc over my head.
The most common way this has happened for me is unwanted advances. Comments being made about my body, people getting far too close- but I'm sure whatever the scenario was, we all felt it. The feeling of, "Keep fucking with me, and see what happens" And then, when we stomp down in warning, it all comes crashing down on us because what do they do? They laugh. They laugh because they don't understand our body language, all they see is just a grown woman throwing a tantrum, and then that dawning realization hits that you never had the moves to back up your threat.
I know how helpless that can feel, and I'm sorry to all my alterhuman friends who have found themselves so woefully unprepared in those situations. You don't have to rework your fight or flight instincts, just to stay alive though. Don't let people steal your fire, just to save yourself the pain of being mocked, because you can be powerful and you deserve better.
THEY ARE TRYING TO EVICT MY FUCKING BRO!!!! (he is a skunk) HE'S LITERALLY DONE NOTHING????!! (He dug a hole under the fence but no one had dogs or cats that could fit through it so I see no problem) HE LITERALLY JUST EXISTS!
