Ryan & Beth/Tropes

A Ferret's Human Life is an animated series created by Xavier Mosley, which is based on its predecessor A Ferret's Life. It follows the titular character and his obnoxious best friend as humans living normal everyday lives and go to high school together.

The series is mostly an Equestra Girls-esque show, hence the animal characters as humans.

Tropes
Ryan: Go ahead. You're just gonna feel guilty after this. That's all you are: You're soft. You're weak! You care about me. You never will stand up for yourself. [she lets him go from her grip] Yeah, that's what I've thought.
