I FINALLY MADE COLETTE'S BOYFRIEND ARGH this took so long ;_;

his name is Bowie (he/him)! he's a very big very friendly bull terrier. he loves working out and his boyfriend colette, like... a lot. he usually wears a muzzle when out and about not because hes aggressive or dangerous, but because he's actually very anxious and has OCD which causes him to be agoraphobic and usually go nonverbal when not in his safe spaces, so his muzzle, collar, and harness makes him feel more secure and protected enough to feel safe going outside when he has to. it also helps people to know that he needs space and to be cautious and thoughtful when approaching him.

he's autistic so he struggles with social cues a lot of the time and comes off as obilvious because of it. he finds security in pressure, so his boyfriend will frequently lay on top of him or help him put on his harness and collar if he's having a rough time.

colette is his handler as well as his boyfriend, even though colette isn't really capable of stopping him from running off where he wants to, so colette is often comically being dragged behind him when he sees something related to his special interests (working out, tattoos, piercings, stuffed animals, comic books). colette and he have a very deep and caring relationship full of a lot of trust. they have a somewhat complicated dynamic since colette is his agreed upon handler but not really the top either (i guess the closest would be switches??), but theyre not really interested in labeling it and it works for them.

phew. i had a lot of ideas for this guy! im glad i can finally word vomit about him lol.
