Vinyl never liked winter in the first place. Winter was always too cold for her, and snow was frustrating.
Of course, explaining this to other people when you can't talk is its own problem.

Content warning for a character suffering from muteness. Notably, I am not an expert on this and may have gotten details wrong.

Content warning for characters with disabilities in the spotlight.

Content warning for THAT? :twilightoops:

Looking back the phrasing is a little weird, but I was worried that people with muteness might not enjoy this one. I'll change it to be better worded.

I think I liked how you talked about it in the author's note, although of course, doing the research or even overdoing the research to be pretty sure you handle the material properly is still the ideal.

Nice little story.

Incidentally, for anyone wondering about whether mute people can hum (not an expert either, just had to do some research for a character in my own stories), it depends on the cause. If it comes from an issue with their larynx or vocal cords, probably not, but if it's an issue with the mouth and the muscles involved in speech, then I think they should be able to, but don't quote me on that. And obviously, if the issue is psychological, then it's sort of moot

Also, love Rainbow stumbling into a good gift... though I don't know if everyone else at the Karaoke party will be annoyed or absolutely love it. Still, always love a good comedically dumb Dash.

Also, for the content warning, the one you have is better than the first, but would "Content warning for a character suffering from muteness written by a non-expert." or something similar. Maybe that's kind of clunky, but it seems like the best way to get across what you're trying to warn about.

Thank you for the feedback! Will probably change the warning shortly.
In my head, the kazoo gave a lot of people a good laugh, but Vinyl did annoy the crap out of Octavia before the two roommates reached a compromise.
