Yo I'm curious. How do sports work in the comic? Like are there cut offs and restrictions for monsters so humans can still participate? Or are they in completely different divisions like men and women, monster and human type beat?
Love your art and comic btw. It's really good and I'm completely sucked in now.
UUH yeah i feel like sports are probably WAY more complicated in this universe solely bc of all the different monster types and their advantages/ disadvantages but i think overall It's just separated into human sports and monster sports. There's general rules and regulations for all monsters about using their tails, wings, horns, and any other extra appendages but there could also be sports that exist that center around the use of the tail or wings or what have you but as far as regular "our world" sports they try to make it an overall playing field. Plus for any of the monsters on the more humanistic end of the spectrum, they could sometimes pass into human sports-for instance Ignazio could pass in human sports as long as he doesn't use his stomach mouth or tail to his advantage or else he'd be disqualified. Esp since he's a surfer for his profession, if there's both monster and human surf events he could play in both, only using his tail and stomach mouth as he pleases in the monster version. As Far as skateboarding goes, wings may be allowed to be used to have longer air time but for only like 2.5 seconds or somethin specific like that, so that way Kari has somewhat of an advantage for the "monster aspect" in order to create new tricks or a new twist of an existing trick but doesn't allow her to just openly cheat if that makes sense. Ollie only played in monster (american) football bc with his strength and size he'd send even the strongest human football athlete straight into a closed casket funeral LMFAO so him playing against other potentially large and strong monsters makes it more of an even game. Same with his horns he had to wear lil caps on his horns to prevent goring another player and also bc horns wouldn't be of any special advantage in monster football so may as well cover them up:
Tumblr media
so i mean it all depends on the specific monster and what the sport is/requires and im sure there's individual physical tests to do to determine that, there's surely a whole SLEW of lawsuits and scandals of monsters using their abilities to cheat which sets the future rules in order but yeah sports are a cc ccomplicated aspect
