teddy had a big extended family growing up. as a child her family went back to the philippines to celebrate the holidays with her motherβs side of the family every year. she stopped talking to all of them to transition secretly, so it felt extra painful to miss those times
tyβs mom went no contact w her parents so he harbors a bit of resentment towards her for causing him to not be in touch with his culture. so many things he wanted to know left unanswered after she died. he doesnβt even know if his family was muslim or christian or something else.
i should draw teddy w long hairβ¦ sheβd look very beautiful with long hair but she hates the maintenance so much. i think sheβd be happy with a buzzcut even purely just for convenience
if teddy maintained her hair by herself it would be dry and shitty bc she only used 3 in 1 shampoo before but ty forced her to have a hair routine so itβs so silky and smooth people think itβs a wig
