He thought Master was being strangely kind when he was allowed to grow his antlers out. Of course, he should have expected there was a game involved; there were no easy victories with Master when it came to dignity.

When he eventually learned his new, magnificent antlers were to be this year’s Christmas ornament, he was given a straitjacket to help remind him of his unmoving-position, and a diaper simply for logistical convenience.

Now all he had to do was practise standing still. He was a display of power and submission while his master’s guests arrived, ate, and drank. And if he could stay put without complaint, he could avoid being gagged and blindfolded for the rest of the night too.

What can I say, I love drawing antlers at this time of year. 
Thank you everyone for your support this year, especially considering it's been a mountain to climb to get started again. Hope you all enjoy your holidays, or break, or whatever it is the end of the year is useful to you for. <3
