I mean, I'm not a CM. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm sure there's a way to do it "semi realistically"

i can imagine it! if there's one wolf to dislocate the lower jaw from the skull, they could theoretically use their mouth to put it onto someone else. same with ribs

might get in the way of sight or pose a slight problem with mobility but it could be fun :)

My hot take:

I think it's reasonable that a toon could wear a skull or a rib cage. May I suggest a spine also? It'd make a cool necklace! ;)

For semi-realism's sake, I'd encourage mentions of it being kinda difficult to wear, falling off all the time, etc... lol.

I'd also err against anything super, unbelievably elaborate. Otherwise, have fun. :)

I will defer to other CMs about this but my take is, as long as it’s semi realistic it’s alright. I don’t have a problem with it within reason.. and I’m firmly in the camp of letting people enjoy things as long as they fit into our semi-realism culture.

I imagine you wouldn’t be able to “strap down” bones for reasons mentioned above, but having them loosely slung on you is okay in my book.

An example of “within reason” would be—
A wolf having an intact spine/ribcage over their back, not tied down
A hollowed out skull not tied down

An example of not within reason to me would be anything intricate or elaborate, like a full skeleton get up, or things like leg bones tied to a leg or body.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.

Definately within reason/not tied down/super outlandish ofc

Yep!! I'd say it prob couldn't be long term personally either (I don't feel like a full spine or ribs would hold up well with time and weather?) but I have no real issue with it!

I like seeing the creative things people come up with. Wolves don’t have the same vocal cords or tongue dexterity people do and they’re talking!
