#How To Get Skunk Spray Off A Cat

Note
Hi! I saw your post on Halloween prompts and if your still taking them may I request
Jason was born a werewolf and they're used to their transformations and abilities. They're out on a walk when they find Reader, a human-just-turned-werewolf. Jason decides it's their job to take care of Reader until they're able to use all their powers efficiently, etc. Both didn't expect to catch feelings along the way.
Or
Werewolves are actively hunted down and humans even carry specific silver items and spray to ward them off if they suspect someone of being one. Reader finds Jason, an injured werewolf, hiding in their backyard. They don't have the heart to chase them away, instead opting to heal and hide them away from the hunters after them.
Fem!reader if possible?
Prompts from @promptspa
hi there! thanks for the prompt. i decided to go with the 2nd one, but i tweaked it a little. reader is gender neutral simply because there wasn't any moment to identify gender, but you are free to picture them as female! hope you like :)
werewolf!jason todd x gn!reader | injured jason, tending to wounds, wolf form, reader and jason knew each other when he was robin.

"...In other news, reports of animal attacks have skyrocketed, leaving Gotham citizens paranoid. The mayor is enforcing a six o'clock curfew, urging citizens to lock their doors and keep pets inside. Now we have Dan with the weather—"
You mute the TV, stand, and stretch. The wind howls outside, rattling the roof slats. Dan, the weatherman, soundlessly describes how it's only going to get colder this week. That reminds you of Lucy, your Ragdoll. She's been outside for most of the evening.
"Lucy," you call, opening the bag of cat food. Usually, the sound causes her to race into the kitchen, claws clicking on the floor.
But there's no sound. You stop what you're doing and stand instead, moving to the stairs.
"Lucy?"
Nothing.
Animal attacks. Your stomach churns at the thought.
Gotham News often exaggerates that stuff since they're so anti-lycan. Werewolves don't attack animals and haven't done so for centuries unless they're desperate for food. But most citizens don't know that and will happily buy into the scare tactics. You can't afford to, living miles outside of the city.
You head outside when Lucy still doesn't appear. Logically, you know werewolves wouldn't attack your seven pound cat that's seventy percent fur. You know that. But something still feels wrong.
You search around the house first, using your phone as a flashlight. Then you walk toward the shed. That's when you hear meowing.
"Lucy!" you yell. "It's alright, Lucy, come on!"
Lucy makes no motion to move. She meows incessantly, urgent, yowling meows that make you rush over and check her for injuries. She continues to meow, even when you don't find an injury.
"What's wrong, Lucy? What's happened?"
You stroke her back, but nothing calms her. One time, she ran into a skunk, and that had spooked her. It also resulted in three baths to get the smell out.
But the skunk had attacked her then. Here, Lucy is unharmed, but whatever she's seen, it's scared her beyond comforting.
She continues to meow, eyes fixed on the shed. You take a deep breath and go to the shed. Lucy's meows get louder.
"It's alright, Lucy," you say, but now your heart is thumping. The wind rattles the padlock, which is odd, so you shine the light on it.
The lock is broken. You pull open the door, ready to run.
A soft whine comes from inside the shed. You shine your light, and the creature shies away, except it's too big to avoid the light completely. Too big to be a regular animal...
You make out black fur, large ears, and a tail. You gasp. The wolf whines again, curling into the corner like it's trying to make itself small.
There's a trail of blood on the ground. Without getting closer, you can't tell where the blood is from. But if it's enough to make the creature whine, it must be a deep wound.
"I'm not a hunter," you say slowly, and its ears twitch at that. "I'm not here to hurt you. No silver, see?"
You pull out your pockets, unzip your coat, and show your hands. The wolf watches you silently. Its head comes into view, and now you can see that the wolf is male.
And his eyes. His eyes are what confirm your suspicions; they are too intelligent to not be supernatural, glowing an eerie green.
He's an adult wolf, from what you can tell, but still young, his fur dark and thick. His youth doesn't make him any less intimidating, though. He looks much like the pictures of werewolves the antis use to scare people: huge, long body, glowing eyes, claws. He must be double your size, at least.
Lucy has stopped meowing. Now she just stares alongside you, keeping her distance. No wonder she was so distressed.
The wolf suddenly stands, and you take several steps back, heart racing. You hate being scared, hate letting the news report get into your head.
The wolf lies on his back with jerky, uncoordinated movements. He makes a desperate noise and shows his belly.
Knife wounds. Big ones. If he wasn't a wolf, he'd be dead.
"Holy shit," you say. "Oh my God."
This is as vulnerable as any creature can be. But you're just as much a stranger to him as he is to you. Why is he trusting you like this?
You've only known one werewolf in your life. And he's never coming back.
The wolf whimpers again. You nod quickly.
"Okay," you whisper. "It's okay. I'll patch you up."
The wolf sags against the ground, and you run out of the shed, your stomach turning at the thought of another wolf dying.
Lucy follows you, clinging to your ankles, and you try not to trip over her as you gather supplies from the house. She doesn't follow you back outside.
You return to the shed and thread a needle. Then you take a step forward and wait. When he makes no move to attack, you close the distance slowly and crouch by his belly.
His fur is matted and torn in odd places. Carefully, you place a hand on his belly. He doesn't move.
"I'm going to pour the antiseptic now," you say.
The wolf watches as you do. He tenses but doesn't make any more sounds as you clean his wound. Almost like he's used to the feeling.
You feel up his fur for other wounds. That's when you feel a scar that runs from his chest to where his bellybutton would be. It's Y-shaped.
"What—" you say in horror. "What did they do to you?"
The wolf whines again.
"Right, right. Sorry. I'm going to sew you up."
He lets you tend to his wounds without a hitch. He's unusually comfortable with your touch; he doesn't howl or flinch when you touch him, and any warning sounds are gentle.
You finish the stitches and top it with a bandage. He waits patiently, not moving an inch. You haven't done this in years; you never thought your medic training would come in handy again.
Nightingale. That's what the Bats called you. That's who you might've become eons ago, until...
"I won't turn you in," you say when you finish.
The wolf blinks at you.
"But you know that, don't you?"
He protests when you pull a blanket over him. He whines and nudges you away with his nose.
"It's cold here, and I can't carry you inside," you say.
He drags the blanket off with his teeth and throws it onto your lap. You smile and put it back on him.
"I'll be fine. I have blankets inside. Get some sleep."
You start to stand, and his whines become barks. He tries to stand with you, pawing at your knee.
"Whoa, hey! Don't, you'll pull your stitches. What's wrong?"
He barks again, and nods at the forest line outside in the distance. Then he licks at his bandage.
"You're afraid the people who hurt you will get you?" you ask.
He chuffs and licks your hand.
"You're afraid they'll get... me?"
He nudges your shoulder. You touch his head and make a soft noise.
"Okay. I'll stay and keep watch. If I hear anything, I'll wake you, alright?"
The wolf grunts, then finally lays down. He shuffles closer to you, so his body is practically on your legs. He runs hot, and with him so near, you hardly feel the cold.
The wolf falls asleep before you.
****
It has been a long time since you trained with a Bat, and your nocturnal practices have faded since then.
So you wake up in the shed with a backache.
Black fur tickles your hand, and you open your eyes.
But it's not a wolf at your feet; it's a man.
A man wearing a dead boy's face.
He awakens as you do, bare and bandaged beneath the blanket. Those odd green eyes stare at you. They're wrong; all of him is wrong, but his face... you know that face.
"Jason?" you whisper, chest tight.
His sigh is full of grief.
"Hey, Nightingale."

No fun allowed
Internet drama and controversy can be fun to watch, but I also love silly things, feel good stories, and other harmless fun that gets shared on the internet.
I am, however, exhausted by the ever-increasing number of people who feel compelled to state that something-or-other is "obviously fake" or to otherwise question the validity/intentions of the poster.
Look. Kids. Sometimes, yes, it's important to clarify when something being shared is verifiably false. Especially if what's being shared contains dangerous misinformation that could cause harm to someone else.
Most of the time, though, it doesn't matter. And just because you personally believe something is fake doesn't mean you're right. Stop being an asshole just for the sake of trying to prove how much smarter and better you are than everyone else. Stop trying to discredit strangers on the internet who aren't hurting anyone and are very likely telling the truth. Stop assuming everything is fake. There's a time and a place for those kind of conversations and accusations. Learn how to tell the difference.
The most recent example I've seen is on a video of someone unrolling their knitting project only for it to roll off the end of the bed and startle a cat the maker didn't realize was there. Cute. Funny. No harm done.
Someone in the comments questioned why they were filming if they didn't know the cat was there. Condescending. Accusatory. Rude.
The person was clearly intending to show off all the work they'd accomplished on their knitting project. Very cool and stripey and either a scarf or possibly one side of a to-be-completed blanket. Or a bed for a boa constrictor, who knows? Point is, someone was trying to show off something they were proud of and then got a startled cat as a bonus.
Even if it had been a "set-up" though, so what? Is it hurting anyone? No. Does it change the context of what's seen in the video? No. There's no harm and no foul and no goddamn reason to be a petty suspicious jerk about it.
Another example would be any of Seanan McGuire's Tales of Animal Rehab and Chaos. Some of these do sound bizarre, like the alligator lizard in the leg story, but weird things DO happen (especially around Seanan) and accusing her of making stuff up for attention/clout is fucking rude. Sure, she's a storyteller, but some things she doesn't need to make up. Especially if she isn't getting paid for it. lol
Again, no one gets hurt by stories like that (ignoring the injuries sustained in the story itself) and it's also a good example of what NOT to do if you find an alligator lizard in your tent/sleeping bag. Important safety tip: don't try stabbing something anywhere near your own body.
People can, however, get hurt by constant accusations of lying. Seanan no longer shares those awesome stories because when she did it always resulted in a bunch of armchair fact-checkers calling her a liar and demanding "proof" that any of it happened.
When it comes to stuff like AITA or that Neighborhood thing or whatever, sure, some of those stories are made up. But again, who cares? Do you think you'll get points for calling out an obviously fake story about, I dunno, some dude replacing his gf's perfume for skunk spray because he's convinced she's cheating on him? No. No one cares. Other than maybe reassuring people that so-and-so isn't in any danger, you gain literally nothing by outing it as fake.
Sometimes those things are done for fun. And sometimes they're based on real examples of the kinds of things that have happened. And even when they're fake they can act as cautionary tales to help folks identify potentially dangerous behaviors. Maybe a guy hasn't actually replaced a wife's/girlfriend's perfume with skunk spray, but people of all identities have engaged in paranoid, possessive behavior and if you know what the warning signs look like you can take precautions. Same with tall tales from the workplace. Or involving neighbors. Or whatever. If it isn't hurting anyone and isn't spreading dangerous misinformation, maybe consider leaving it alone.

mikey - guitar.
mikey is twenty-one years old, a cis-man that uses he/him/his pronouns, and is so unapologetically queer. when he's not rocking out on the guitar, you can find him making lattes at a coffee shop downtown. his hair is long and dyed black, the strands that frame his face have been dyed bright purple. his favorite things ?? malboro 100's, bush apple, fireball, cats, and skateboarding. mikey is incredibly scatter brained, bubbly, and goofy. he can be really unreliable at times and has been banned from making any group plans for the band ( due to him often forgetting he made the plans in the first place ). mikey met earl his junior year of high school and they have been best friends ( and partners ) ever since. earl keeps mikey on track, trying to steer their partner in the right direction. the two have been dating for five years now. mikey is always late to band practice even though he lives in the house that they practice in.

martin - banjo/backup vocals.
martin is twenty three years old, non-binary trans-femme, and uses they/she/he pronouns. martin is bisexual with no preferences. his hair is styled into a mohawk that is dyed navy blue. when they aren't performing with the band, they work as a freelance artist, spending most of their time spray painting the sides of buildings with skunk. their favorite things ?? malboro reds shorts, montucky cold snacks, 80's grunge/punk music, and roller derby. martin has a very warm and caring heart, she is almost like a parental figure to the band. she loves to crack jokes and make others laugh. martin met karp in an after school board game club and was quickly introduced to the rest of the group. everyone quickly took them under their wing, seeing how perfectly they fit with everyone else.

First Impressions of Animorphs!
I'm listening to the Animorphs series while I work, through Animorphs Aloud - a fan made reading of the series. Here are my first impressions/random thoughts about them! Spoilers below if you haven't read them.
Book 9: The Secret
You know how we have the mirror test for animals to test their self awareness? How do you reckon they'd react to a clone test. My cat Sadie hates all other cats, would she hate herself if I morphed her?
BITE HIS BALLS CASSIE
Oh my gosh Tobias hangs out at Rachel's watching tv or reading books? That's adorable
Sigh. I wish I lived near untouched wilderness. Not very common on our island
(Morphing a wolf) 'The rest of the morph continued. My knees reversed direction' APPLEGATE. Why. Why do you do this to me?
One of the things that got me into Animorphs was seeing someone's take on an Andalite. They mentioned that Andalite's are never described as having a humanoid torso, so their design lacked that. It was a really nice design. This book does mention Ax having a humanoid torso however. Shame
Not another Eusocial animal! Why wouldn't the exact same loss of identity happen like it did with ants?
I wonder if anyone has animated a morph. That'd be cool to see, the images on the books are freaky enough so in motion would be even cooler
This is a pretty shitty forcefield if it just stops at the ground. You could literally dig under it, no termite form needed. If the Yeerks had made this forcefield a sphere they would have been fine
Uh oh we definitely getting hypnotised by the termite queen
I always felt bad for queens of insect colonies, spending your entire life in a hole secreting eggs sounds like hell to me. But this passage is making me reconsider the idea, if the soldiers really were like slaves and controlled by the queen then it's as if the entire colony is actually the queen. One organism. Hmm
In this book, Cassie commits regicide!
One of these days you guys are going to get yourselves crushed by demorphing in an area too small that you can't destroy
Well that was a easy escape
'The colour of nature wasn't green. It was red. Blood red' damn that's hard
Oh god damn Tobias ate one of those baby skunks. That's surprisingly dark.
Think I've discovered how I'd fail as an Animorph. I would totally morph a cat and end up dozing off in a sunbeam past the two hour limit and being trapped as a cat forever. Not the worst way to live though
Cassie is apologizing to Jake but honestly Tobias deserves one too. You can't blame him for acting on his nature especially when he didn't know these were 'special' kits. And he just saved Cassie's butt. And is offering to help raise the skunk babies.
Has a suspicion Homer would get skunked this book. Someone had to, and he was mentioned earlier. Also weird to me that someone would just trust their dog to go home on their own
Tumblr media
My first thought upon hearing this was Cassie was gonna straight up murder Farrand 😭
I mean I guess this Yeerk plan was pretty low stakes to begin with, just them trying to hunt the bandits, but this was a pretty pathetic fight. They give up because smell bad and would have to refit ship. I guess I've never smelt skunk spray though so I don't know how bad it is
Visser Three has lost pretty much all his menace by now

TDI23 Season 2 ep 2-4 thoughts and theories. Spoilers ahead.
Ep 2: The slides were awesome and I kept laughing when most of the cast missed the hoop or bounced off. But I did feel like 21 was too low of a target score and it should have been a bit higher. Also the rejected 4 point slide should have been roped off or something jfc.
Ep 3: Getting sprayed with sticky sap and running across the island to the finish line in 30 minutes isn't the most unique challenge ever but it was still entertaining I guess. Olivia Von Trash Panda is absolutely precious and must be protected at all costs. If something bad happens to that raccoon, I'm actually going to cry tears of sadness which I don't think I've done while watching this show before.
Ep 4: Getting across a glass bridge by answering questions correctly was the least interesting of the 3 for me but it's the second challenge reference to Squid Game so that's cool. I hope they do the cookie challenge too just because I would like to see some of the tougher contestants struggle a bit. Some of those questions were really gross but Priya's reaction to if she'd want Chris as her father was hilarious.
Chris:
He's such a troll, I can't believe he counted the bear towards Team Skunk Butt's total. Him roasting Ripper was funny. There's no way that he doesn't know MK/Team Skunk Butt is cheating, she's so obvious about it. He's probably just waiting for the right time to call them out or something. "Can we show a decapitation or is that going to be a problem?" killed me 100%.
Chef:
He looked at MK pretty suspiciously during the meeting we saw so I think he knows what she's up to. Speaking of which, why in the world are the meetings held out in the open? Couldn't the other contestants just hide in the nearby trees and listen in? His exchange with Caleb about if he skipped leg day was funny.
I'm glad that the purple haired intern is back and I think it'd be hilarious if she ended up exposing MK's cheating somehow.
More characters are doing the "sparkly eyes" this season and that's pretty funny to me.
Eliminated contestants:
16th: Lauren/Scary Girl - I didn't see her lurking in the background anywhere sad to say but I still have my fingers crossed that she's there on the island somewhere. It was nice to see her in ep 4's challenge though.
15th: Chase - My god was he dumb and annoying throughout ep 2 but I did laugh when he fell off the cliff while recording himself and the last part of his last confessional was funny too. "Chase please, we need you! I'll be like 'ppfffftttt ok'."
14th: Millie - She tried her best during the slide challenge but wasn't the best at it and her tricking Damien into taking the 4 point slide was super wrong even if it gave them the win. Why didn't she try to convince him into taking the 2 point slide instead and why didn't any of her teammates hustle their way back up? Her apology to him the next episode was kinda sweet but I get why most of her team wanted her gone and at least she can learn from her mistakes again.
13th: Emma - I was impressed with how easily she got in Chase's head which led to his elimination in ep 2. She didn't do much in ep 3 except getting covered with feathers and attacked by a cat. I'm not really fond of her but even I felt bad for her in ep 4. She really thought that she was a people person but kept messing up the challenge. Then Priya had a kinda smart idea that worked for a while until Zee messed it up and she responded by pouting about it like a child. I did think that she should have ignored Priya about the last question and just trusted herself. At least she didn't get back with Chase, although her friendship with Bowie seems to be dead for good, they didn't even talk to each other once.
Team Rat Face
Priya:
I'm not liking her crush on Caleb tbh. It's affecting her leadership skills and she's putting one teammate above the others. For example, when Zee and Caleb smacked into each other and fell in the water, she only showed concern and helped Caleb when Zee also needed help. Easily "falling in love" seems to be part of her social awkwardness/unawareness/naiveness. I do feel a little bad for her but I don't think she'll figure out his plan until he tells her. I really hope this plotline doesn't go on too much longer.
Caleb:
Yeah...I don't like him very much. There is no way he doesn't know that Priya is crushing on him unless he's denser than an element on the periodic table. And yet he's continuing to charm her instead of talking to her about becoming an alliance. He's also kinda rude like when he put Zee into the 1 point slide despite him not looking too good at that moment or when he said that he's glad Millie is gone. I did notice that when he was praising Priya for letting Team Skunk Butt go first in the slide challenge, most of the other Rat Faces were looking at him and none of them were smiling. I hope someone calls him out for being such a suck up soon.
Damien:
Using a blindfold to face your fears is pretty dumb but I'm glad that he still participated in the slide challenge. And then Millie betrayed his trust which left him beat up and very angry. He had every right to be mad at her and I don't blame him at all. I didn't expect him to forgive her that quickly even after she apologized but it was kinda heartwarming. He needs to keep improving himself if he's going to stick around for a while.
Axel:
I love how much of a team player she's become but she still has an edge to her which is great. She had a few nice moments with Ripper and seemed to feel bad about rejecting him initially. Likes poetry surprisingly. I'm not sure how I feel about the 2 of them dating yet but I'm interested to see more of them especially if she's not just playing him.
Zee:
I didn't like seeing him get hurt in the slide challenge but I did like how even he was annoyed with Millie. He held Damien back from attacking her and said that she wasn't worth it. That's not the first time he's played peace keeper but I like that part of his personality. His moments with Olivia the raccoon are adorable, especially when he hummed to get her to calm down and I'm disappointed that Chef won't let him keep her. He didn't do much in ep 4 except mess up Priya's plan at the worst possible moment but then he wasn't called out at the elimination ceremony? If he goes home in the next batch of episodes like a lot of people are saying then I'm going to be really upset and probably put a lot less effort into the rest of my episode reviews fyi.
Nichelle:
Her athletic abilities and usefulness in challenges is going to her head, just like I said it would. I did laugh at how she wasn't phased when she got dropped from the glass bridge and then kicked/stomped a wolverine. I could see her being the villain in the second half if Julia and MK get eliminated at the merge and if she wants to flex on everyone by winning immunity every challenge.
Team Skunk Butt
Bowie:
He's trying so hard to keep control of his team but the odds are a little stacked against him. It's nice to see that he's a little conflicted about cheating in challenges since Raj is against it and he doesn't want to upset him or break up with him. I can definitely see them going through some angst about this issue but I hope they work it out.
Raj:
My theory that he helps Emma and Bowie become friends again was totally wrong, he didn't even talk to her or bring her up at all. I laughed when he clogged the toilet with Wayne. He's against cheating and is disappointed that Bowie isn't/likes it. When he finds out about him breaking his promise in ep 4, it'll probably be heartbreaking.
Wayne:
I loved it when he laughed at Julia missing the hoop. He's also against cheating and might try to say something to someone not on his team about it. Which could lead to him getting voted off with Bowie's help that would absolutely crush Raj. I do think that he's going home before him and I'm not ready for those emotions.
Julia:
Seeing her get hurt in the slide challenge was great. Some of the things that she says to/about MK makes it sound like she's falling for her which is a little odd because I thought a staff member from the show said long ago that there would only be 2 LGBTQ+ contestants in this gen? Idk if that person was lying but we'll just have to wait and see. I still think that she's going to get backstabbed though.
MK:
Her going right through the backboard at the end of the slide challenge was really funny. Her intern disguise is so bad, she's still wearing her beanie and didn't put her hair up. The cheating does bother me but I can't wait until she gets found out, it's going to be fantastic to see her try to defend herself and fail at it spectacularly. It also seems like she's falling for Julia a little bit but she'll still probably backstab her.
Ripper:
He's developed a crush on Axel and is trying to impress her anyway he can which leads to the funniest moment in the slide episode. Seeing him butter himself up, then scream going down the trash slide, get his speedo caught on a nail but still stretch out far enough that he could grab the hoop before it snapped back and launched him out of the slide and into the forest naked, makes me laugh every time I see it. Him and Axel accidentally getting stuck butt to butt in ep 3 was funny and of course they got unstuck because of a fart. His poem to her in ep 4 was cute and I'm intrigued to see what he does next in the name of love. I don't think he'll throw challenges for her but I can see him having a problem with his team's cheating and he could tell her about it before he gets eliminated.
All in all, not a bad batch of episodes, I enjoyed most of the humour and I'm excited for the next few. Thanks for reading!

thinkin abt my guilds and like. other creatures
there are only a couple of cats that have ever seen a twoleg, and those couple are the ones that were former kittypets. bramblerose and gingerfrost specifically are the most well-known to know about them; bramblerose was abandoned on the side of a road a ways off the territories and gingerfrost ran away from his former owners and was a loner for a while. any other cats know the term twoleg but a number of them believe they’re just fairy tails to scare kits
dogs are equally rare, to a point that they are never a threat and therefore no one knows how to handle encountering one. there have been dogs a couple of times as there are campsites a ways from the willow guild’s borders. most cats know that they’re similar to wolves, but not much else
the pine guild is the only group that encounters wolves regularly. the pack has been known to wander into maple or beech territories, but they never go far. cats going to visit pine guild cats are known to stick strictly to the paths the pine guild cats have made, due to rumors that those who wander become a wolf’s prey.
the same applies to coyotes and foxes, though foxes are known to wander further. most cats also aren’t as intimidated by foxes, as they’re closer to a cat’s size and therefore easier to fight with
raccoons are fairly common around the territories. viewed as essentially pests, cats will sometimes get prey or resources stolen by wandering raccoons, who then run away before they can stop them. there’s usually someone grumbling about a raccoon at any given time
cats may also encounter skunks sometimes; skunks and cats mostly avoid one another, because skunks are known to spray cats if they get too close. it takes ages of rolling in strong-scented herbs and getting dunked into a pool or river to get the smell out of their fur
bears are known to appear occasionally too. most of the time, bears and cats can coexist, and will often just ignore each other. willow guild cats are the friendliest with them, as they also catch fish and they often end up hunting together. of course, all cats know to keep their distance from an unknown mother bear with her cub, and they also know when to avoid a bear that may be aggressive, as they stand little to no chance of defeating one should the bear attack

Zane adopts a skunk, since he's a nindroid he can turn off his smelling
Okay, now we're getting into some spicy pets!
Zane rescued sliver from the rubble of Ninjago City after Lloyd first managed to defeat the Overlord. Everyone originally thought that she was a cat, given that she was found with a little of other kittens, but there was something off about how she interacted with her siblings that drew Zane to her.
It wasn't until they got her to a vet and checked out that they discovered that Silver was, in fact, a skunk, but that fact didn't seem to bother Zane too much. After all, she never actually sprayed around him or anyone else, so how much of a problem could she be! And then they took over the Darkley's School...
Silver was a little skittish around so many kids, so she mainly kept to Zane's room. And then the unthinkable happened: She got out when a group of students decided to break into his room to steal his grade book.
It didn't even take much to startle Silver: She was sleeping peacefully on her own little bed at the end of Zane's bed, when the door creaked open. When she saw that it wasn't Zane or any of the other ninja, she freaked out! First, she sprayed the intruders, and then got her self caught in one of their hoods. By the time they made it back to their dorms, and thought they were safe; she popped her head out from her hiding spot, and stunk-up the whole East Wing of the Student's Hall!
It took a week to get the smell out...

furry au stuff for the crew yippee wahoo, defo not the entire crew but most of em that I know of!
Jeff: grey wolf!!!! I think I’ve talked about him, Dimitry, and Rachel being funny wolf pictures before but yeah the 3 of them r all grey wolves xD early JA days he definitely gives off the vibe of chill wolf boye. He likes to bite PJ sometimes, as wolves bite as a form of affection, and PJ’s herbivore ass is like WHAT THE FUCK LMAO…Jeff’s definitely gotten headbutted multiple times bc of it 😭 ALSO….imagine wolf Jeff with a mullet... That is all <3
Spike: defo a weasel. He gives off this sneaky slinky-like creature vibe. Not too much for him to be a cat but not like a ferret and I think a weasel is super fitting for him. Weasels are super sneaky and like ferrets look super cute but are actually really fierce. I mostly got this from that fight him and Jeff had in 4.5 where Jeff was like no he’s sneaky about it and Spike jus fuckin goes at him 😭. Him and Dave r mustelidae buddies <333
Dimitry: grey wolf as well!!! Wolves r very social animals so defo him and Jeff r wolf buddies ^_^!! The two definitely just randomly punch or bite each other as a form of affection they’re like brothers who fight all the time tbh LMAOOO
Manny: a lion obvi!! He’s definitely a predator considering he’s a predator expert, and his long hair is like THE perfect lion design… Also! In WBZ he touched a lion’s tail, and I think that’s cool as fuck! Also it would make sense w/ how manny doesn’t mix well with colder temperatures and why prev to WBZ he hasn’t seen a lot of predators that live in colder habitats and such. He’s part of the kitty squad with Chris, Lance, Trip, and Ehren! ^_^
Kosick: skunk LOL…entirely based off how angry he was after he was forced to smell PJ being covered in skunk spray in the car xD…
Cliver: this was a tough decision but he gives off this like… red fox vibe >_<!! Red foxes are really good at hearing so defo he’s super alert when on set and if someone’s trying to prank him. He part of the fox squad with wee man ^_^
Lance: cat!! Idk he gives off kitty vibes ^_^!! He and Spike share similar mischievous vibes only Lance is less sneaky so I thought he’d fit as a cat. Also he has pretty silver hair, so yeah! And stylistically, I like the idea of that helmet he wears in 3D having cat ears on it :3
Trip: defo a tiger! Idk why, he jus gives me those vibes ^_^ big cat vibes like how Manny nd Chris do. Apparently, tigers have been known to imitate the call of other animals to lure them closer, so sometimes he’s known 2 make some weird noises jus to get a laugh outta people XD
Gooch: sea otter! He likes surfing n stuff so I thought it’d fit him pretty well :3!! Him and Jasper r sea otter buddies!!!
Loomis: he's not officially part of the crew, BUT I wanted to include himb. <3 I think that he'd be a possum! This is mostly based on the concept of a ferret with bright green hair, I think design-wise he’d look cool as hell! Possums are also clean creatures, they don’t get rabies unlike a lot of other animals, so surprisingly they’d find that Loomis is super clean compared to everyone else xD

Tia Headcanons >:3
Her full name is Tiana Ainsley Mitchell, but she prefers to be called Tia, cuz she thinks it sounds cool. (Ainsley, because it’s my middle name :3)
After her father was killed in a bank robbery that Tia was trapped in at the age of 19, it took her mother about 6 months until she decided to remarry Tia’s stepdad, Clyde Mitchell, who taught Tia how to defend herself not just with her claws, but with her hands and feet.
The Regular Show episode Free Cake was not the first time Tia ever saw the Guardians of Youth. The Mitchell family all earned their 9 lives from the Guardians of Youth on their 18th birthday. For some reason, Tia’s father was the only one who didn’t receive his 9 lives.
She’s right-handed and nearsighted, despite her ability to see in the dark thanks to her cat vision.
She loves music. But she’s not really into classical music or country music, unless it’s a type of song that’ll make her bob her head to. Her favorite music genres are R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap and Rock. Metallica, Usher, Ne-Yo and Eminem are her favorite music artists.
She’s bisexual ;3
Tia was diagnosed with Autism when she was 3, which was why she repeated different phrases on TV out from other people.
Although she’s a tomboy, she wouldn’t mind wearing a dress every once in a while :3 (it would be a short or medium length dress just in case she had to fight someone for more legroom.)
She usually keeps her natural hair style, but on other very special occasions, or of her own volition, sometimes she gives herself a short haircut and style it the way she wants (Tia starts an episode with her normal hairstyle in almost every episode lol).
In an envisioned episode of Skunked, instead of only getting sprayed by the were skunk, Tia got sprayed and bitten by it, yet the bite is still active in her, even after she splattered tomato paste on her at the end of the episode. So she would harness her werecat ability again in a different version of Real Date. Though Tia can’t use the ability on command; only when she’s completely enraged, that’s when she’ll turn into a werecat.
She speaks Japanese and Chinese fluently, which was a great help for Benson when they went to China in Hello China.
If Tia didn’t have clothes on, like bare naked, she’s not completely naked. Her fur acts like an outfit of her own, and she’ll even shave parts of it off to make a bikini on a hot summer day xD
The Mitchell family follow a tradition every December where they don’t say a single cuss word on ANYoccasion. If a family member cusses even once, the Christmas Gods show up and ban them into a cell in space until the new year.

Fallout: Ohio
A work in progress, suggestions welcome Credit to @fallingthruspace for some of the ideas.
Dogs and cats roam the streets, some normal some tainted by radiation.
In more rural areas, yao guai.
Potholes the sizes of small lakes
The Great Pothole Lake in Akron, where someone has somehow managed to build a house in the middle of it.
It gets bigger every year
Cornfields are halfdead, but spread out wide.
Rad horses/alpaca/llamas, some wild some tame.
Giant st. bernard sized opossums, with their young hanging off them.
The possum Queen/King, as large as a tibetan mastiff, and their colony of opossums.
Irradiated skunks with deadly sprays.
The skunks can be tamed, if you’re careful.
Rad racoons with multiple limbs.
Crumbling farmhouses dot the landscape.
Beware the Grassman. Sometimes he’s aggressive.
There are a strangely large amount of crows everywhere.
They say you can find a woman who controls them near Winchester.
If you’re really lucky, you might see the Ohio Mothman. Very rare indeed.
Be careful in Loveland. There’s the Frogmen and the Crosswick Monster.
The Frogmen are smart, surprisingly so.
The Dogmen gather in packs, but there are some on their own. They’re vicious. Take care if you think they’re nearby.
There are a lot of settlements built on former farmland, even a small town.
Cleveland has become a raider hotspot.
Don’t go to Fort Wayne. There’s nothing but feral ghouls there.
Vault 98. The most well known conspircy theroists were gathered together, just to see what they came up with, and how much they knew. They formed factions, then fell to infighting as the theories grew wilder and wilder, until no one was left.
Vault 83. Stocked with a cloning machine that only worked on animals and a stock of viable DNA, from cats and dogs, to farm animals. Intended for use to repopulate the surface with usable animals.
Vault 25. Control Vault. Hero of the game either comes from here, or finds a community.
Vault 65. Experimented with the potential of corn. Over taken by greenery when found. There’s something in there.
Vault 56. Purpose Unknown.
Vault 10. Purpose Unknown.

Cats are regularly grooming themselves, and this is why they rarely desire a bath. If your cat gets straight into something particularly smelly, a bath is not going to hurt them. If the cat does not like water an individual might want in order to wear gloves so that you acquiring scratched. You may well also wish to enlist the help involving a friend or family member. To be sure your cat is healthy, take the capsules in order to their vet frequently. Cats should go into a vet at least once every year for a check up, plus more often for required photos. If there are usually obvious issues with your cat, that needs to find the doctor immediately. Don't wait around!

Unfortunately you can find also many cat owners who don't appropriately exercise their cats and kittens. Boredom can beget illness. Make certain you give them tons of toys and room to participate in.

A cat's bone fragments can be very fragile and they must be dealt with gently. Consider getting your current cat a scratch post. Scratching is usually something that comes extremely easy to cats; it is definitely part of their particular nature. Don't push your cat to play with it. Rather, interest him within it by spraying catnip spray on it, or simply by dangling a thread from the top rated. Soon he'll obtain the concept that it can there for the purpose! Consider adopting multiple cats, especially that will be wasting a significant amount regarding time alone. One particular cat can carry out fine alone, on the other hand two are not really much more function or expense compared to one, and can easily keep each additional company and amuse each other. This can stave off monotony, especially if you work long hours. In case your cat goes outdoors a lot, the probabilities are excellent that these people come home dirty once in some sort of while. When your own cat is specifically dirty or smelling like a skunk, you should help make an appointment along with the local groomer. Groomers will probably be gentle with your cat, ensuing in a less traumatic experience. Typically the chances are excellent that will your cat will come running for their own favorite treat.

To ensure your kitten is properly socialized to humans, commence early in his / her life, about five to twelve several weeks of age. Be certain that he will be handled and petted by humans within his family and by others as well. Whenever he is old, he will be a calmer, friendlier cat. Do not place the cat litter box in the identical area where a person place the bowl your cat takes from. Cats want a clear separation between your two areas, thus make sure an individual give it in order to them. It is usually not likely you would want to eat in the same position where a person use the bathroom, so give your own cat the exact same courtesy. During your stay on island is nothing wrong with using clumping cat litter box for older felines, you should stick together with sandy litter if dealing with kittens. The clumping litters are usually handled with all types of chemicals that may nto be safe intended for smaller cats.

What would you say makes Tara and Rocky compatible with each other? What does Rocky find attractive in Tara? What does Tara like in Rocky?
Oh god you're asking a severely ace person about why a relationship works this will not go well
So just to be fair, the pups in the show don't have much personality. Like out of the first 2 seasons (where they had the most character and was honestly up to the point I could sit through the show) these were all the notes I got:
Chase: He’s allergic to both cats and feathers, also flowers. He can be a bit panicky at times. Thinks spooky cursed things are cool. Cries at weddings but won’t admit it. Scared of the dentist but kinda got over it.
Marshall: Good with animals and is very awkward, often speaking when he should keep quiet. Birds REALLY like him. He sometimes struggles with self-confidence and can be really hard on himself when he makes a mistake. He appears to be frightened by snakes or at least big ones. Thinks ghosts and creepy stuff is cool. Scared of flying.
Skye: Likes dressing up for Halloween and spa days. She loves animals though, thinks they’re all super cute. Loves weddings, thinks they’re very exciting. Was sprayed by a skunk before. Scared of eagles.
Rubble: Loves kittens and skateboarding. Sleeps with blinders. Is kinda cowardly of “monsters”. Also thinks old “cursed” ruins are cool. Enjoys naps and adores food. Scared of spiders. Is a DDR MASTER
Zuma: Really likes snacks. Loves legends (specifically Merpups). Also super good at DDR
Rocky: Bit of a morning grump. Hates getting wet. Is a packrat. Is a little scared of wolves.
Everest: Little bit sassy, gets lonely though. She likes jokes and is hungry all the time, her favorite food being liver. She’s a bit of a showoff at times.
This is why fanon interpretations are inconsistent, the pups are usually just generic "nice" without any discernible traits. (This is why Sweetie was such a breath of fresh air. Go forth, sassy queen).
You might notice Zuma and Rocky have the least notes, which means they have the least to go off of. I generally try to stay as close to canon as I can, but I also somewhat feel unqualified to talk about compatibility with a character who's entire personality is hoarding trash and hating baths.
So, let me define my fanon interpretation of Rocky:
He still loves fixing and saving things, but it actually becomes a bit of a problem how much stuff he refuses to let go. Of course with his environmental job, he also likes gardening, a hobby he gets his kids into and even Rita likes helping with, though Kino usually runs the show. He just loves spending time with kids and educating people on how to take care of our planet. He's also a little goofy (maybe not intentionally, but it's hard not be a goober when your hobbies include hoarding literal garbage) and slightly awkward if he gets nervous. He does hate water, but he's able to overcome it when someone he cares about is in danger. He loves his friends and would go to the ends of the earth for them.
Actually that might be why he and Tara get on. He IS her friend and cares about her. It's important to note that they were best friends before dating. Byte kinda became the team dad and looked after her, but Rocky saw someone who needed a friend and didn't give up on her.
They'd work together, Tara would sarcastically tease him and he grew fond of it, even teasing her back on occasion. He'd love seeing Tara in her environment going nuts over a rock, allowing him to learn even more about nature. They probably had a few dates grabbing a bite at Mr. Porter's Tara didn't even realize were dates because she just enjoyed hanging out and eating with a friend.
I don't know if I can say at what point attraction hit Rocky or even what it was, but he knew he wanted to spend his life with her. Tara adored their bond and decided that was fine with her.
Maybe that's not the answer you were looking for, but it's about the best one I can give.

Best Pet Gift Ideas for the Holidays in 2023, Like POOPH
Tumblr media
If you're wondering where the time has gone and want to avoid the chaos of last-minute shopping, you can start planning your lists for the holidays. We've looked at physical stores and various websites to create a nice selection of presents. All you need to do now is start wrapping. From POOPH Odor and Stain Eliminator to fetch balls and cat trees, discover the top gift ideas for the holiday season.
1     Why POOPH Is a Great Gift
Tumblr media
When the time comes to give a present to anybody who owns a pet, you simply cannot go wrong with the powerful POOPH spray. Countless testimonials indicate that the pet odor remover is indeed effective, thanks to its efficient combination of water as a solvent, surfactants, and other natural ingredients working together.

It works on all organic aromas and is completely SAFE for people, pets and the planet. Animal lovers may also appreciate similar POOPH products made to combat the stink of kitty litter and skunk, as well as lawn, garden & turf.
2     Tug of War Toys
Tumblr media
Engaging in an old fashioned game of tug of war with your dog is a great way to fulfill their need for physical exercise, regardless of whether you can go outside or not. This game also helps canines understand boundaries and rules, especially during their teething phase when they tend to nip. Playing tug of war can also be a valuable tool in teaching your dog the "drop it" command. Both puppies and adult dogs get to fulfill their natural instinct to tug, while preventing undesirable habits, like eating Daddy’s shoes.
3     Fetch Toys
Tumblr media
If you are a dog owner, you’re most likely familiar with an obsession of playing fetch. No matter how many times you throw a ball, frisbee or plushie, dogs always come back for more. To satisfy their cravings, look for a tough rubber one that can withstand even the toughest chewing, and still be ready for another game. It should be lightweight and waterproof, making it perfect for playing in any environment, whether that’s in your house, on the grass or even in the snow.
4      Cat Tree
Tumblr media
When it comes to felines, they almost always appreciate a nice cat tree. It's important to choose one that’s nice and tall (4 to 6 feet), with well-staggered platforms. This allows your pet to exercise by moving from one stage to another and gives them a quality stretch. Most buyers prefer ones that are covered in long-lasting durable carpet, rather than fleece or plain wood. It doesn’t hurt to look for cat trees that come with scratching posts and spacious perches for sleeping and playing. Don’t forget to use POOPH to deodorize your kitten’s cat trees every so often.
5      Cat Tunnel Bed 
Tumblr media
If you're looking for a versatile toy for your furry friend, you may want to consider getting them a bed that doubles up as a play tunnel. It's purr-fect for pets that enjoy burrowing and hiding, providing them with a cozy space to take a nap or play around. Meanwhile, the added dangling toys at the entrance gives them something to keep them entertained. If you have two energetic kittens, they'll likely have a blast chasing each other through this multi-purpose toy.
Thankfully POOPH is here to help keep all of these toys nice, clean and STINK FREE! POOPH Odor and Stain Eliminator instantly fights off all organic smells and gets rid of unsightly blotches. Our Kitty Litter Odor Eliminator and Kitty Litter Box Saver are specially formulated for the unique stink that only comes from our feline friends and their funky litter boxes.

Even with the window open, there was still smoke lingering in the air of Casey's room, the boy shameless about his habits, yet still worried about his mother finding out. He huffed out a lung full of smoke, the weed he'd gotten from another Hockey Player working it's magic fast. Before he could move to lay back and really soak everything in though, his bedroom door opened, and Casey was quick to let his head snap to the side. Thankfully, his ma hadn't caught him red handed, but his boyfriend hand. He stared at them, before, with faint panic in his voice, asking,
"Are you gonna fuckin' tell my ma?"
| Muse interaction
Raphael had easily made his way over to Casey's place. With the amount of times he had already been over he knew the short cuts to get there even faster. The surface ones and the tunnel ones. Heck he knew how to go from the rooftop as well. He might not need to know that route sure but sometimes it was faster to travel that way and kind of fun to surprise Casey at their window over the front door. But even with short cuts to get there sooner he was still pretty early. But after last night Raphael was hoping to avoid anymore teasing. Look he knows he dose it to. Epically towards Donnie. Well if your going to dish it out you should be able to take it as well. Which Raph was being a decent sport about that. Even someone who was blind would be able to tell what was between Raph and Casey. Which said more about Raph and Casey considering they had kissed and yet still didn't seem sure of what was between them. From the fact Raphael talked about Casey so much to that undeniable smile he get when a text from Casey came across his phone scree. Sure he texted the guys from the wrestling team also but it was always obvious when it was Casey.
And the second he pipe up at dinner to ask Splinter about going over to Casey's of course he had to deal with a round of teasing. That he took well totally as he slumped back in his chair wishing he had waited till after dinner. It was bad enough Rock steady and bebop asked about Casey so much. Splinter only condition was for Raph to make sure his chores were dealt with and it was his get out of this card, as he leapt up from the table and went straight to it. Made getting out of the lair easy the next coming day at least. Even if he was struggling with killing time from there to Casey's. Sure he was stopped a few times cause hes 'one of those turtles kids'.
The novelty seemed to wear off at school but outside? it was still a thing. Guess he can't blame humans for getting caught up on it still. Even Casey mom seemed to still be getting the hang of it. Unable to kill anymore time he have to just bite the bullet of getting teased for being over early from Casey. Would telling Casey he was just excited to see them get him out of that? Knowing Casey it would get him teased more, but Casey would smile at him over it. That's worth it, Raphael figures as he knocks on the door. A tad unsureness in how he smiles and greets Casey's mom. Before she let him in saying Casey was just up in his room. That made him aware of a odd smell, she didn't seem bothered by it though. If she could even smell it? hmm it really was weird though kind of like the time they got sprayed by a skunk they mistook for a cat.
Raphael kept his beak shut though simply saying good bye to Casey mom and thanking her for letting him in before he made his way up to Casey's room where the smell was for certain getting stronger and stronger. Hand to the handle as he really was questioning the source of the smell to himself. He opened the door only to find his boyfriend suddenly frantic starting at him. Raph nearly thought he caught Casey in the middle of something, well he had but something else from how sudden Casey seemed to move to look at him eyes wide and in terror. Raphael hardly had a moment to register anything happening when Casey spoke up first.
"Are you gonna fuckin' tell my ma?"
"tell her what? 'hat it stinks in here? cause 'm sure she used to that." Was the first thing to come to Raphael's mind only now able to think himself. See the window open as a cloud of smoke was pulled out side. Oh that would be why she couldn't smell it at least. Looking back to Casey, trying to understand what he was even seeing here. The smell was far stronger in Casey's room coming from what he had in his hand?
"What's that?" Raphael soon asked walking over to Casey's bed before sitting down. Casey still looked worried so he rolled his eyes, they seemed a bit out of it anyway. "I ain't a snitch so?" gesturing to the blunt in Casey's hand just then. Casey briefly explained it was some weed one of the guys on his team gave him.
All those talks about drugs and such from Dad were starting to roll around in Raph's head. Of course leave it to his Dad to find more things to warn his sons about when they were finally able to go to school. The dangers of drugs and such being something he stressed the most over. Raphael wasn't seeing the big deal hear Casey seemed fine. A little on edge about his mom finding out but once he seem assured that wouldn't happen. Casey relaxed after taking another drag off the blunt letting the smoke drift off into the open air outside. "Didn' know ya smoked that stuff" was all Raph really commented on.
Smiling over how chilled Casey seemed to be like he was melting on their bed at the moment. Casey holding it over to Raph had the turtle suddenly feel very on the spot here. He was clearly being offered some. How do you even smoke though? Was the turtles first thought? Did you breath it in that hos it look like Casey did it. Just like sucked on it? Kind of like using a straw maybe? He swears there this little voice in the back of his head that sound annoyingly like Leo in the moment. Going over what Splinter tells them about drugs and such. Telling Raphael this was a mistake, and that was enough for him to reach over and take the blunt from Casey's own grip. Slightly turning it in his hand, all to aware Casey watching him.
"Jus' uh makin' sure it's rolled right." As if Raph would know if that was a bad thing or not.
Raph just vaguely knows from movies that they roll these things. He didn't want to look stupid in front of Casey, well anyone but especially not Casey. Lifting it up to his beak as he did what he thought was right suck in the air around the end he could for sure fell as the smoke pulled back and filled his mouth unaware of what to do with said smoke he near about swallows its before his body naturally kicks in to save his ass and has him coughing it out. He swear his eyes watered up as he holds it back over for Casey to take. That so sure act he was holding fell apart in the second of him actually trying to smoke just now. Casey he swears is laughing as he bend over to clear out his lung from the smoke. Laughing soon after himself. Man he had to have looked like a real idiot just then and there. "Man r real smooth going down."
He can feel a nice pleasant buzz settling over him though once he had that initial draw back over with. "Can I try again?" He did feel kind of chilled but he sure he has a better idea how to do it now. As once more it was passed over to him. It wasn't as easy the second time but he didn't try sucking in the smoke this time at least. Still a little rough but it wasn't as bad as the first time. But after a few more tries he seemed to get the hang of it. Just sort of passing it between the two of them.
He laughs a bit more before moving to lie back beside Casey he has no idea how much time had passes it felt like time stopped. Handing the blunt back over for them to take. As he sort of lets his touch linger on to Casey's hand. Watching Casey take the blunt with his free hand now not seeming to mind Raphael not wanting to let go. Since they were a bit to aware of their hand at the moment. The turtle just trying to understand what he was looking at before grab Casey's hand .His brow furrowing in trying to concentrate. Raphael was trying to gather up his scattered thoughts. "It's weird ya got five of 'em" He finally voices his thoughts. Trying to understand how to hold Casey's hand in the moment. Trying to thread and guide Casey's fingers between his own only to start laughing over it.
"this is gay." He just says before Lowering their hands down together. Keeping a nice hold on Casey's hand clear he wasn't planning to let go anytime soon.
Rolling his head to the side he can feel Casey's hair against his forehead, the end of his snout pressing against the end of Casey's nose. He just smiles at Casey so lost in a fog that seems to settled over his mind. "I'm gay Casey" He confesses as if Casey wasn't aware of this fact about him. Considering they were together one would hope Casey already knew this. " 'ike real gay Case." He says as he smiles dopily at Casey now. "fuck ya pretty."
Slightly turning so he could face Casey better, leaning in to place a soft kiss to their lips. Swearing it felt twice as pleasant in this current state. He can faintly taste the weed on Casey's lips when he dose it and just leaves him to giggle, actually giggle this time. As he lifts his hand up to brush back Casey's hair, softly petting over how soft the blue and black locks felt under his touch. Raphael couldn't explain what was coming over him he felt like he was on cloud nine right now. Hes not even aware if Casey's talking to him right now before he steals another kiss from his boyfriend. Catching them when their mouth was open. He lets his fingers comb back through Casey's hair as he just sinks in against Casey's lips. Only pulling away when the need for air hit his brain. Letting his forehead rest against Casey's as he slowly opened his eyes again. Again he let a giggle work out from him. He not even sure what he's finding so funny here, before humming and nuzzling his face against Casey's own. He starting to think he mind like this stuff with just how clam he's feeling.
"Pft 'm real gay for you Casey." He lets out between his laughs before moving to settle in a more comfortable space beside his boyfriend. "What ya get for lookin' so pretty." He blames them for. "Ya hair really soft" he hums over a letting as he lets his fingers comb through their hair a bit more. "I 'ike being gay though, cause I getta kiss you and 'hat feels good." He admits for no real reason he can think of to right now. "An' cause I get to say 'm Casey Jones boyfriend I 'ike 'hat part too. This feel nice." He rambles on a little more. "But I don' 'ike ya okay?" that might be confusing "I love you got it? I like all the other stuff cause I love being gay for you." He somewhat connect his thoughts there "I mean I love you" He snorts a bit before nuzzling in against their face again. Arms moving to hold around Casey tugging them close. Still slightly giggling over literally nothing but the weed in his blood stream making everything seem funny to him right now.
"I don' think my Dad knew what he was talkin' about, this stuff great." Raphael points out as he lets himself get comfortable with Casey in his hold. "I did' rat you out though so don' rat me out..oh an' don' tell I said that either. Makes him mad." only for Raphael to laugh again "cause hes a rat pfft"

Christmas in Arizona
Me & Joshua went to visit his parents in Sun City, AZ for Christmas weekend. Taking 4 days off for the mini vacation was really nice. This was something that couldn't be held off any longer because Joshua hasn't seen his parents since last summer. Normally we would be able to see them for a day or 2, but I requested Friday off and Monday was Christmas observed which was a paid holiday at my job so we drove down on early Friday morning and got there at about 8am.
We stayed there until Monday morning then we drove off for 3 hours heading to Tombstone which Joshua had never been to before. I hadn't been there for 11 years and that was when I was with my ex-boyfriend James. Things haven't changed very much there. We went to a reenactment shoot out show at their OK Corral show and got to see the Bird Cage museum. We didn't take a visit in the courthouse or the mines like I did years ago because we were on a low budget so we had to watch how much we were spending. We had to make sure we had enough gas to get back home. We had lunch at the Crystal restaurant and then we sorta had to be on our way to visit his cousin's at Nicole which was in the next town over in Benson.
Nicole seem pretty drunk after some beers, but they really didn't want us to leave. They told us that they're not trying to push us out or anything, but that wasn't even the point at all. The main point was having to leave that same night because we had an 8 hr drive back home plus we would have to make sure we beat traffic going back to North Hollywood, then have time to rest before we had to go back to work. We left from Nicole's about midnight and we got back home at about 7:20am which was really good timing. We were lucky that we didn't hit any bad traffic coming back towards Los Angeles since I decided to take the 210 W from the 10 just past Redlands.
Joshua had to make sure he was able to get back and start working because he had to make enough money to re-rent the car to do his Uber work.
This early morning when I was driving home from work, I almost ran over a fucking skunk. It was running across Oxnard right before I was going to make a left turn on Colfax. At first I thought it was a cat, then I saw its fat belly and the white stripe down its back. It was either I changed lanes and risk, but then it started running towards me instead of across the street sideways. I made sure I let go of the gas, I didn't wanna brake hard to make a complete stop, so I made sure it was underneath my car when I went over it, but I also made sure it was centered line so that I wouldn't kill it by running directly over with the tires. I had the vent open so that heat from the engine would come in the car instead of turning the heater on, and I should've kept the vent closed. Right when I went over it, it fucking sprayed of course out of fear and its stank came inside my car. My car still stinks of skunk, but at least better it was my car itself that got sprayed instead of me directly.

You know what else we need? A new pet- wait why did you drop them off in the workshop? ...*sighs and changes the front door*
We've got some interesting cats here...
Tumblr media
But this one little girl stole my heart. Look at that face how can you not love it?!

Meet Quinn! While you may think she's just a Calico, she's actually a Manx! Her tail's just a tiny stub! Which honestly I'm a sucker for those kinds of cats too. This is a double whammy for me!
Quinn - Female Unfixed Manx, She/Her/They/Them
Traits: Aloof, Prowler, Friendly
Her name is based off the Canadian Soccer player and Olympic gold medallist Quinn, who was the first out non-binary athlete to compete in the 2020 Olympics. In the game you can set pet pronouns: Quinn's were set to They/Them in honor of her namesake, but I'll probably be switching back and forth between she and they.

Marcus: You know this one reminds me a lot of Slam Jam. Can't we keep her too?
I mean she's weird looking enough that I'm going to adopt her out to someone, but I think we have enough cats...
Tumblr media
...is what I was originally going to say, but literally 5 seconds after I moved her in to set her up with a different family, she got herself beaten up by a squirrel and then sprayed by a skunk! And that just cracked me up. So what the heck? She gets to stay too.
Her name was originally Penny and I'm keeping it.
Marcus: ...Because if brains were money, she'd only have a cent, right?
Exactly.
Penny - Female Unfixed Tonkinese
Traits: Glutton, Prowler, Curious
Oh boy another Glutton. You really are similar to Slam Jam.
Tumblr media
Stinky weird cat.
I don't know if I'll actually keep two cats forever or if I'll let one of these cats go with whichever sims I decide to make spare. It'll be a bit before we have the next generation of kids, so I've got plenty of time to think things over.
