New rats!

oyceter: Two of my rats in a tissue box (rat)
[personal profile] oyceter
I have new rats! Ren is still very unhappy about them, and every time I bring him out, he suspiciously sniffs at the blankets and tries to reassert his control over the territory. Also, they try to peek at him through the bars of the cage, and he doesn't do anything, lures them in, and then violently lunges.

*sigh* Maybe he is just too old for new rattie companions.

But the new rats are incredibly cute! They are so sweet and shy and friendly! It took a long time for Ruki and Ren and Bya to warm to me, but these guys actually jump toward me when they get frightened sometimes! And they climb all over me! The hooded one is a little more courageous than the brown one, who is very skittish and shy. The hooded one will amazingly sit still for the camera while the brown guy runs around sniffing everything and jumping at every other noise. They aren't very licky yet, but I can't tell if that's because they're still shy, or if they just don't do that.

So, people, help me with names! I was originally thinking of Hikaru and Kaoru from Ouran, but these guys are way too sweet to be the Hitachiin twins. I'm also contemplating Ed and Al (the new rats are brothers). Any other suggestions? Doesn't have to be from anime or manga or even a fictional source at all.



I think this is the hooded guy, although their faces look a lot alike.




The hooded guy again! Hopefully he is not planning an escape.




The little brown guy. He looks so much like Ruki, but is definitely the complete opposite in terms of personality.




Wee hooded guy hiding.




Brown guy sniffing around.




Rattie brothers, startled by the flash!

Possibly spoilery speculation for xxxHolic/Tsubasa:
Syaoran and Watanuki. Though only CLAMP knows what their connection is. Clearly Watanuki would be the skittish one.

Also, I think you should read further in Ouran. :)

Marshmallow and Brownie sez ratses haz funny feet!



Seriously, they are adorable! They seem to have a permanently unsure facial expression, as though they are not exactly worried, but wondering whether they ought to be ... I think one of them should definitely be called Watanuki.

I think maybe the usual would be Watachan or even Wacchan ... I found a scholarly paper online on the subject once, when I was thinking about a fanfic ... .

I do still want it! I've not chosen/paid for the yarn yet, either. We should sort that all out.

October is crazy, but maybe we could get together next month?

I'm fine with that! We don't have anything concrete planned, but once we start tossing dates around, we'll "deal you in". (:

If I were better versed in CLAMP I could probably advise one way or the other, but alas....

So cute!

They're adorable. I have to rat boys of my own - I named one Yuki (after the rat character in Fruits Basket) and one Bear (no anime or manga reference, he's just big).
