Same with Cynric suddenly being in an all-therian football team when a) there's still plenty of discrimination everywhere against shapeshifters, specially in the workplace and with human kids and b) several states still have the shoot on sight varmint laws. Therian sports teams sounds cool until my brain trips over "but how does that even WORK in the construct of this universe?" Which is something that I find endlessly fascinating and love thinking about.

Yeah no Damian's an adult, I think you might mean Byron? Who was turned as a teenager and is flamingly gay except for that one time he had sex with Anita due to the ardeur. She keeps mentioning that even though he's a vampire, he can still work out to give himself some muscle and not look like jailbait.
