I’m so sorry… I’m sorry that this is your struggle. That it’s our struggle. Your father and I know what it’s like, and we know it’s not fair. I hate to think you’ll carry this forever, hate to think things might never get better for you. And that it’ll wear on you, change you and strip away who you are and everything you could be.
I’m sorry there’s no words we could’ve ever said to prepare you for this. But I’ll be strong for you and hope that you’ll be too, someday. Don’t let the world get to you… like it has to me.
Fun fact! In my stories/Aus/etc I have “Zen Wilde” as the name of Nick’s mom
Since Nick is like 11-ish here, I tried giving him and his mom 90s styled clothes, though the purse is just replicated from the one I saw Nick’s mom had in one of the Zootopia graphic novels, the ones with Nick and Judy as children
Also, I wanted Zen to have spots like Agnes from Fantastic Mr Fox, and curly fur just because ✨
