Hello!! I’d like to request a bunny S/O with Ticci Toby,Ej,Masky,Hoodie,Jeff The killer like the S/O has like bunny ears and a bunny tail?

Their fragile and small and sweet and soft.

Awww little bunny creep! I actually have a pet bunny, but she is very sassy 💀

Thank you so much for requesting!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ticci Toby

Your sweet and quiet personality is very nice for Toby

He loooves people with softer voices and personalities, as he can respond pretty negatively to louder things due to his ptsd

Also, you being more on the calm side kind of mellows him out

Toby is very influenced by his surroundings, pretty much just morphing his personality to better suit the situation

So being around you makes him calmer, and quieter

That being said, most of the time when you guys hang out you are cuddling close to each other and sleeping

You being rather easy to spook due to you being partly bunny, prefer to have him hold you so you know you're safe

And he couldn't be happier to do so

He will wrap you up in his arms and bury his face into your soft ears, giving them a little kiss as he drifts off into sleep

Occasionally, you will pick up on a noise such as footsteps or talking, making you wake up and look around anxiously

Toby will sleepily pull you back into his chest after you've scanned for danger and whisper to you how you don't have to be so vigilant, because he's there for you

He always keeps headphones on him as well, partly to play his music but mostly for when you are in public spaces and it gets too loud for your ears

They don't fit too good, but they are better than nothing

He will also rub your ears whenever you get worked up, telling you to just relax and breathe

It is very calming for both you and him <3

Eyeless Jack

You actually share a lot of similarities with him!

This makes you ten times closer with each other

You are both sensitive to noise, you are both very quiet and stick to yourselves, you both have very soft hair (or in your case, fur), etc

Even your differences are cute in a way

He is a carnivore, and you are a herbivore

You tend to get very nervous and shy around people, he is more so just quiet and reserved

Honestly you two are the most precious together ugh <33

With his sharp claws, he is able to get through your thick fur and give you wonderful scratches behind your ears, on your head, etc

And with your soft hands and gentle mannerisms, you are able to give him little mini massages, even with his overly sensitive skin

You spend a lot of time reading together, and occasionally you go on cute little picnic dates

You lay down a blanket in the manor's large ethereal garden, and talk about anything that comes to mind while you eat

Jack often doesn't eat around you, as the smell of meat can make your stomach turn and make you very nauseous, but he might eat a light snack while you eat your salads and chips

You are often seen together, since you understand each other so well and are so close, theres no one else you guys would rather hangout with!

Masky

He thinks that you are so adorable

You are complete polar opposites

He's a "man's man" and you're soft and sweet and shy

He adores your differences, though

However, this being said he feels a need to protect you if that makes sense

In his brain, you just seem so vulnerable and he doesn't want anyone taking advantage of that

Wether you let him "protect" you though, is up to you

If you don't want him to be so protective, either tell him that or show him that with your body language and he'll back off

But if you don't mind or prefer him to be protective towards you, expect him to always be near you, to always make you wear at least something of his (usually a jacket), and to be pushed away from the less....sane creeps (cough cough JEFF)

He loves to rub his face on your soft ears

Which can sometimes hurt, because he has a rather stubbly face

If you want him to stop though, he'll stop

He often has you with him or near him due to his overprotectiveness

So expect to be sitting in his lap or feeling his hands on your shoulders as he stands behind you

Hoodie

He is a very excitable, energetic person so like some other creeps on this list, you are kind of opposites

But also like the other creeps, these opposite factors in your personalities kind of make it work instead of put strain on the relationship

However, he has his moments where all he wants to do is be calm, and sit down in a warm blanket with your head on his shoulder, just enjoying each other's presence while you watch t.v

So if you want one of those moments with him, really all you have to do is ask and he will oblige

The other guys on this list like your ears, but Brian likes your tail

He likes to sneak up behind you and lightly grab on it with a high pitched "boop!"

It makes him laugh to see you get all flustered and embarrassed

He doesn't do that often though, so you don't have to worry about it getting annoying or uncomfortable

He isn't super protective of you like Tim, he's more so....observant if that makes sense??

Like he won't go out of his way to make sure you're with him all day everyday but say if you were in a public area and he notices you're getting restless, he'll ask you about it and what he can do to help

He is obsessed with how your wiggle your nose

Sometimes he'll just stare at it, and when you catch him, he'll grin and wiggle his own nose at you, making you roll your eyes and smile

Occasionally, he will press your noses together in a kunik after watching you wiggle your nose for a while, and he will continue to rub his nose against yours until he gets at least a giggle out of you, to which he will then pull away and peck your nose affectionatley

Jeff The Killer

Him being a very crass and blunt dude he's gonna mess with you at least a little bit

It's also kind of his love language

He just likes fucking with people idk man

Expect him to spook you, grab your tail with a firm grip, boop your nose when you're busy, etc

Eventually you will just get so angry and frustrated with him that you thump at him

yes, thump at him

He will be shocked by it at first, but then he'll laugh, putting his hands up defensively "Oooh. Didn't know I got'cha that mad, doll"

His smug ass will then make it his mission to make you thump much more often

Your sweet little bunny self actually being angry? That's wild to him. And he loves that angry part of you

He might be an asshole a lot of the times, but he can be sweet too

Sometimes he'll just come up behind you, putting his chin on your head and stroking your ears lovingly

He'll whisper to you how adorable you are and how much he loves you

And then he'll go about his day as if nothing happened

Such an ass, but he's your ass <33

rambling about slugcats

I’m probably not the first to notice this but I personally haven’t seen anyone else bring it up so I wanna talk about it.

I realized that as the timeline progresses, the slugcats become progressively less carnivorous.

While spearmaster has a different way of eating, they mostly feed off of the energy of other living animals, with the exception of popcorn plants.

Both artificer and hunter are technically able to eat plants as well as small insects, though they much prefer the meat of other larger creatures. Artificer, who is earlier in the timeline, also has the maul ability, which likely means that it has stronger sharper teeth. While inv isn’t canon, it also fits in its place between arti and hunter here, sharing the maul ability with artificer.

Gourmand gains less nutrition from other larger animals than hunter or artificer do, though in return they are more adapted to eating plants and smaller insects.

Survivor, monk and rivulet eat only plants and insects. While monk could be considered more passive than rivulet, this is probably just the nature of monk as a character rather than an evolutionary thing, especially as survivor and monk are around at basically the same time. Rivulet is however more equipped to simply flee any encounter with a threat rather than engage in combat.

Saint is fully vegetarian (just don’t tell them about bluefruit). Their digestive system does not tolerate meat at all. Attempting to eat a smaller creature like a batfly will cause them to collapse while trying to eat a centipede will result in instant death.

Of course some of these cats can be described as anomalies in their own right, either due to being purposefully created by iterators or whatever is going on with saint, but when it comes to food, this progression does look to be quite linear.

It’s very possible that slugcats were previously a fully carnivorous species, but then evolved to be mainly insectivorous, while also growing more adapted to plants.

I just thought this was neat and wanted to share. Anyone is free to give their own input on this as well

Thinking about Ducktales again. More theoratical analyzing. More ranting. More precisely about Ducktales humanity. (Less a biological take, more societal and historical)

I don't remember if there were any monkey or ape characters, but nevertheless evolution in the Ducktales world decided that, nope I don't like apes, it's gonna be primarily birds, ducks specifically who turn human

But it's not only birds, there also mammals, both carnivores (I think more of those?) and herbivores, yet again, birds are still the majority.

So whatever it was that caused the evolution, my take is that it's more birds simply cause "birds" were just already far more wide-spread around the globe due to their natural flying abilities pre evolution. And Ducks, cause, Idk, ducks are everywhere.

Anyways, the "animals" were probably evenly hit by evolution in general, but a lot of other species (lions, tigers, subspecies like pandas) in the wild were bound by territory. Ergo, due to more birds existing all over the globe, more humans in the modern age ended up being part of bird species cause they were more wide-spread in the beginning due to pre-evolution times. Also certain areas having more dangers (stone age, bronce age, I'm not sure how the early ages are called) for humans then others being a reason why some species exist more than others. (Again, human lions or tigers might have not been able to build bigger civilizations in early history due to having animal lions or tigers as dangers) (I know lions and tigers do not live in the same are btw, even if it might sound like that)

Now... Birds are basically the top of society in the Ducktales universe. They are more. They are everywhere. They are much more dominant. And I have thoughts about discrimination and the irony of birds that are "prey" being the majority of Ducktales humanity, but I should not only make a separate post for this, but also really sort my words so this doesn't end up sounding to weird.

Going back to the society: It somehow happened that human animals and animal animals live together. And in a way mostly similar to us. Pets exist. Feeding ducks with bred crumbs is a thing (that scene is why I'm writing this post). And people eat cheese, milk, eggs and meat.

Now, I don't know which is weirder. A human dog having another animal dog as a pet (hello Goofy) or a chicken eating chicken soup? (Huey wanted to give Scrooge chicken soup while Gyro was sitting on his computer and he didn't react. I guess cocked/baked duck/geese/turkey is also being eaten) Does it not count as cannibalism if it's not a conscious human, or do chickens just not eat chicken, pigs no ham and so on?

I am very much aware that this is just a disney show, targeted to kids mostly, and that those characters are all animals because they've always been animals. But I'm going between things like Zoomania and Beastars where the whole humanised animals topic is actually being discussed and also used to cover racsim as a topic, to things like Sing and Kung Fu panda where everyone just simply is an animal cause it's animation marketed to kids. Then we have Ducktales. And well, Bigotry, discrimination and racism isn't the topic of this show, obviously. It's about adventures and familiar relationships and drama. WHICH IS GREAT. No question. But then you have Penumbra being weirded out at conscious ducks feeding non-conscious ducks, and the whole 4th wall break episode in season 3 showing us that at least some people were very much aware of the undiscussed implications a show with only animal people has. Even if it's supposed to be a silly kids show.

Feel free to comment under this and reblog, cause I would really wanna know what others people thoughts about this are and maybe discuss it a little bit.

#disney ducktales #ducktales 2017 #ducktales #analyzes #More or less at least #tv shows #tv show analysis #I might also do one of my rantings about the biological aspect of different species becoming human #But that was also probably been done like a hundred times

If you want to follow Ren's steps so bad I have some thoughts on how to do that exactly. For instance at first you'd be forbidden any clothes at all, you know, so after a week or two walking around butt naked you'd happily agree on that cheep underwear option.

For scars we'd make it like piercing appointments, one by one, on scheduled time. Wouldn't be a secret for you so I can see how you behave closer to the date. Overly nice, maybe hoping I'm going to forget? Or are you going to be the opposite, too eager, too greedy, walking around whining about why can't I make it sooner?

The shock collar is your favourite part, yes? Going to be honest with ya, I'm zero at mechanics and wouldn't for the love of me be able to create something similar to what Strade did. Wouldn't be much of a problem tho, not like shock collar is something one can't find at online stores. Or, at the end of the day a customary piece can always be made by someone else, for the fitting payment of course.

Just like in btd there would be option to choose how high the voltage is. I think we'd start with the low one but it would go higher and higher for each mistake you're making. At first by the end of each day you'd be quite literally fried. Later you'd learn how to behave tho... then I'd start randomly shocking you just for the sake of it. Laughing at your confused facial expressions for you won't be able to understand what was each zap for.

I could force you to listen to *only* anime osts and openings, eat only chocolate and other sweets (and raw chicken hearts, heh), play only a few anime based trashy games I'd assume are Ren's favourites... and before you say that it doesn't sound so bad think about how it's going to feel after weeks or even mouth of not being able to eat something else or entertain yourself in any other way.

Those are just off the top of my head tho.

And I should probably go back to putting signatures.🕯️

…NSFT under cut? Idk I’m. 😵‍💫 after reading this /pos

I would def be the opposite of it, would be whining and wanting them to come sooner. I love getting hurt because I’m a pain whore so~ I’ll look pretty with all those scars though ngl <3

Jokes on you, majority of my diet is already chocolate and sweets anyways and I love trashy anime shit and osts so I probably would be enjoying myself~

I am 100% certain you could find someone out there twisted enough to recreate strades collar for you, probably would cost a pretty penny or two butttt it’d be worth it~ Also randomly shocking me and using it to train me… mmff I think I’d pop a boner ngl .//////.

Would you manhandle me like Strade? Would you make me eat a lot of meat besides chicken hearts too to feed into my carnivore instincts? Would you boss me around? <3

God. This is so. Mmmmm.

savanaclaw w/ a vegetarian partner headcanons | twisted wonderland

notes: i, leona’s girlfriend, am back with some silly headcanons because i crave Leona content, and then i decided to throw in the other beastmen lol. anyway this is just how i’d predict they’d react!

i also chose Savanaclaw specifically as they are all beastmen inspired by carnivorous animals. i might make an Octavinelle version since the Octatrio probably have heavily meat/fish-based diets (since they’re based on carnivorous animals too!)

details & content warnings: no gendered pronouns used for reader, reader isn’t described as Yuu/can be described as someone else, reader’s vegetarianism is described as a personal choice rather than for religious or health reasons

•••

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR:

at first he’s like “when i called you an herbivore, i didn’t think you were literally one”

then he’s like “wtf how can you not want to eat meat? it’s the best thing ever.”

will probably nag at you about it for awhile. all you have to do is tug at his ear threateningly or scold him the way a mama cat would hiss at her kittens to teach them a lesson and he’ll shut up real fast

try not to be mad at him too much though </3 the man’s just very surprised and curious

being a beastman with the nature of a carnivorous apex predator, surrounded by other lion beastmen his entire life, vegetarianism where he’s from is quite rare, especially if you’re not a mouse or a zebra beastman or whatever

after getting over the culture shock that there are some people in the world who willingly give up meat, Leona starts to think

how do you get enough protein?? iron?? other nutrients commonly found in meats but not fruits or vegetables??

his decides to ask you how you do it, how do you maintain a relatively balanced diet while getting the nutrients and fillings you needed

from then on, his eyes are opened to the world of supplements and unique foods commonly used to replace meat, and that also supply nutrients mostly exclusive to meat

to Leona, staying strong and healthy is very important, so he uses this newfound knowledge to make sure you, his beloved, are always having balanced meals and that you’re getting all the nutrients you need

to everyone else’s surprise, he’s in the library, looking over tomes upon tomes on nutrition and plant-based diets

he debates on going to Jade to get some information on edible mushrooms, but then he decides that getting involved with the Octatrio wasn’t worth it when books existed

he may even try some of your favourite plant-based substitutes out, but he could never part from his beloved meat

RUGGIE BUCCHI:

Ruggie’s another person who ends up being shocked that you’re a vegetarian, but he’s mostly envious

envious because you being able to have a specialized diet means you could afford to do so

in the slums where he’s from, Ruggie took any and as much food as he could

he’d dumpster dive late in the night, after restaurants had closed up for the evening, scrounging and searching for any scraps that were still edible

during holidays at NRC, Ruggie would ask Sam and the cafeteria ghosts if he could take home any leftover supplies and food, even if they were close to or beyond their expiry date

to him, food was a luxury. he couldn’t afford to be picky with what he ate, lest he’d end up going days without food

with this in mind, however, he’s also quite happy for you, happy that you can afford to eat the foods you wanted

he won’t question or nag at you like Leona would, but he’d also be the type to make sure you’ve gotten your fill at the end of the day

Ruggie would probably also ask for some vegetarian recipes and substitutes, because who knows, maybe these ingredients will end up being cheaper and more accessible to him in the future

JACK HOWL:

out of the three Savanaclaw characters, Jack is probably the most indifferent about your diet

not because he doesn’t care, but because he’s more understanding of your views

Jack doesn’t come from a poor background, but he doesn’t come from a closed-off kingdom either

he has tons of experience with all sorts of people and beastmen alike

like Leona and Ruggie, Jack cares more about your overall health and wants to ensure you’re taking care of yourself

Jack’s the type to find you new vegetarian restaurants and recipes for you to try out together (mostly thanks to Carter’s social media skills)

but i can also see him being the type who sometimes forgets that you’re vegetarian

like,, he’ll be eating a katsu sandwich beside you and may offer you a taste, only to flatten ears and mutter an apology like “oh, um, sorry. i forgot you can’t have this”

don’t be too mad at him though! he’s not doing it out of malice </3

Jack is used to his siblings back at home asking for a bite of his food. it’s become such a frequent occurrence that he developed a habit of asking his loved ones from the get-go

as such, his first instinct when eating food around someone he’s close to is to offer them some of it, and that includes you, his lovely partner

he makes it up though by buying you a treat you can actually enjoy <3

Mutant lore because its been a while since I used this tag

Well this was supposed to be me talking about an AU idea I had but i got distracted

Diet:

The only animals we've seen in the mutant world are pigs, and I do not care how many pigs there are there is no way that there are enough for the entire mutant population to eat. Mutants are clearly carnivorous (they all have sharp teeth and also hate vegetables) but there are hardly any humans left on the planet and they cannot sustain themselves on whatever other natural life is left on the planet. So I theorise that mutants are probably eating each other. Probably not other members of their families (with the exception of hatchlings: see 'life cycle' for more details), but less-intelligent mutants, such as Fetids, do not care, and while they form packs to make survival easier, they will turn on each other as soon as things get rough.

Mutants also have an order of preference when it comes to food: Humans, whatever natural animals they can find, mutants from different families, and lastly, mutants from their own family (Not literal family I mean in like order of genus or something idk). The reason the MB are able to escape mutant attacks every single time is because some mutants will turn on each other if they think that they don't have a chance at getting to eat human meat, which makes things easier.

Social behaviours:

mutants usually stick with their own kind and travel in groups, with the exception of Higher-class mutants. Higher-class mutants are mutants that have some semblance of human intelligence, aka the colossuses (did I spell it right?) Wart, Verruca, Cavity and Stoney. Higher-class mutants are the only mutants that can be classified as sentient, as lower-class mutants have never shown any signs of awareness or intelligence (choosing to constantly attack rather than run away from humans with blasters). Higher-class mutants are capable of retaining information, communicating with humans, and making intelligent plans. Higher-class mutants are also able to summon mutants to them (nobody knows how, Dr White suspects some kind of pheromone, but couldn't test this theory). Higher-class mutants have also been observed to have varying personalities and interests, and while they are just as resilient as other mutants, prefer to inhabit places such as abandoned castles or other luxurious buildings. Despite Higher-class mutants having the ability to order around lower-class mutants, they are in danger of being eaten by other mutants before this skill develops (e.g, while in the egg, see life cycle section for further information), and as an adaptation, have developed a unique way of developing.

Life cycle:

All mutants are hatched from eggs (it is unknown if mutants procreate or somehow reproduce asexually, this is yet another thing Dr White wanted to research, but he was grounded by Su ((in his defence she's terrifying when she gets mad)) anyway, moving on). These eggs are roughly as big as an emu egg, and the clutch size depends on the mutant breed. Newly hatched mutants grow to be the size of a soccer ball within the first week of their life, and are fully mature within a year of their life. Mutants don't raise their offspring, and the baby mutants survive by eating siblings that didn't hatch on time, and apparently also have a tolerance to a wider range of food substances than adult mutants. Mutants can NOT be trained or raised to abandon their aggressive behaviours (this was effectively researched by Dr White, depending on who you ask). Eggs take 2 weeks to hatch, and it is estimated that the average mutant can live for up to 12 years, but this age is rarely reached.

Higher-class mutants have a development that differs widely from lower-class mutants. Due to their unique biology and mental capabilities, their development is much slower, and they do not reach physical maturity until roughly six years of age, at which point they have the mental maturity of teenagers. Before this, they are similar to bees: larvae that emerge from cells as full adults. Due to the fact that it would be impossible for an egg to survive in the wild for long enough for the mutant that hatched from it to mature in the same way as lower-class mutants, higher-class mutants are hatched as what is effectively a sentient cocoon. Wart and Verruca are examples of this form: physically weak and, as Sheriff put it, "absolutely pathetic" in comparison to other mutants. During this time they stay inside of their lairs to conserve energy for their metamorphosis. When metamorphosis occurs, their true forms will burst out of the cocoon-skin, usually less than a meter in length. In this form they are much stronger than lower-class mutants, resistant to fire from anti-mutant weapons, weapons in general, and are capable of putting mutants under their absolute control within a disturbingly large radius. They will quickly grow, and are capable of growing up to twenty metres within five years, the maximum recorded size for a higher-class mutant.

hi beck!!<3 who in the world is itscourtneyluna??

vic hi for the love of god hello! thank you (or sorry) for asking…

she’s a tiktoker who partakes in the “carnivore diet” wherein she only eats animal products and byproducts, so just meat and dairy. it’s like extreme keto in that she eats zero fruits or vegetables, but fat content seems to be valued over protein because she rarely eats poultry and generally sticks to red meat. it can cause weight loss due to the complete lack of carbs, but this is obviously not a healthy way to lose weight.

in courtney’s case, i believe she used to post regular baking content on tiktok, then she shifted at some point to what she called “carnivore-ish” where she ate some fruits and vegetables but tried to eat mostly meat/dairy (probably to lose weight). but now she maintains that she’s fully carnivore, to the point where she doesn’t even season her food (besides salt) because seasonings come from plants 😟

itscourtneyluna is an enigma to me. she seems like a troll at first glance because she’s clearly using people’s interest in bizarre food content on tiktok in her favor for rage clicks, but at the same time, she wholeheartedly endorses the alleged “health benefits” of eating a high saturated fat zero carb diet. she will respond to criticism saying everyone is sheeple for eating balanced diets, and that even doctors and nutritionists are unreliable because they were taught the wrong information.

she drinks coffee even though it comes from a plant, and gets upset when people point that out because she “should be allowed to enjoy things even if they’re not 100% carnivore” which like yes queen. absolutely. but you’re the one who led us to believe that a single pepper flake would kill you, so we’re just a little confused.

here are some of the recipes she posts (the ingredients listed are the only ones involved. no seasonings ever.) that tend to go viral because they’re so rage-inducing:

“chaffles” - eggs and shredded cheese melted in a waffle maker, typically used in place of a bun

“beef and butter bites” - ground beef and butter frozen into christmas themed molds

“pre workout” - a bite of kerrygold butter washed down with heavy cream (a direct quote)

“carnivore soup” - ground pork, beef broth, cream cheese, and salt

“carnivore cracker” - a slice of cheese melted in a mini waffle maker until it’s crunchy

“carnivore ice cream” - cream, egg, and salt poured into an ice cream maker

“carnivore pasta” - ground chicken mixed with eggs cut into small pieces, boiled in water, and fried to (allegedly) resemble gnocchi (her words) with a sauce made of butter, cream, and parmesan

“carnivore crispies cereal” - pork rinds with half and half poured over them and eaten in a bowl with a spoon

“carnivore candy” - melted brown butter frozen in candy molds

“carnivore crack” - melted brown butter with “bacon sprinkles” frozen on a sheet pan and broken into chunks as one would with candy bark

and listen. im autistic. i eat weird stuff sometimes. i think people should be able to eat whatever they want without having to answer to anyone. however.

it becomes an issue when you claim everyone should be eating that way, and spread misinformation that was just created to sell shit. this is part of the fascination for me; how can she participate and perpetuate something so blatantly incorrect?

she also likes joe rogan. this woman is not real.

#oh my god. i knew i was gonna write a lot but jfc #if you read all this i love you and im sorry i have such strange hyperfixations #the worst part is i have so much more to say but ive been writing this since last night and i have to stop #asks #mutuals #zkbfksjfjswije #also ily vic 💕

Downsides and dangers of the Carnivore diet - part 1

People don't read these things, but I'm going to leave a few warnings to those who are considering following a Carnivore diet. The first one is not so much about the diet as it's about the people in the "community".

Most people who do this arrive at it after decades of chronic diseases that, as it turns out, where mostly caused by metabolic disorders, which is why they're curable with the right diet. You arrive at Carnivore at final fucking last and after you've tried everything because the consensus is always that you can never be too vegetarian. Vegetarianism is for herbivores and we're obligatory carnivores. However the standard advice, for now, is the opposite. So Carnivore is what you do when you're desperate... and then it works. The people in the "community" are perfectly fine good people doing a good job of passing along the knowledge they have acquired, hoping it will be of value to others. That's it, that's all. Nobody knows everything but everyone knows something and they're all worth listening to.

I wouldn't say the community is crawling with Trump supporting Conservative anti-vaxxers, but they're there. I think somewhere along the way fascists decided that vegetarianism is for soy boys whereas eating meat is for men who believe in Jesus; and then there's also the aspect of always going against the establishment... unless the establishment is Trump saying doctors should open people's bodies up and shine sun light inside them to kill the Covid virus, then it must be science.

The last time I had to unfollow a Carnivore influencer for being a fascist he made a short video redirecting his viewers to another site, where we'd be able to watch what turned out to be an anti-Covid vaccine video. That other site is Rumble, a site that claims to be the censorship-free version of Youtube.

Whenever a site claims to be the censorship-free version of a popular site like Twitter or Youtube, understand: it's a far-right site that is free of democracy and human rights, not free of censorship. Coming from them, censorship means democracy and human rights.

The last time I joined such a site it claimed to be the censorship-free version of pre-Elon Musk Twitter, with more diversity of opinions and more interesting content. What could possibly go wrong, right? Who doesn't want more diversity and inclusivity and less suppression of varied content?

It was an almost exclusively Nazi site for Nazis. I have many and varied interests that I put on my check list and they never showed up on my dashboard. There was no anti-Nazi content, either, just for the sake of "inclusivity", it really was just Nazi anti-semitism 100% of the time.

I finally had enough when I logged in one day and was greeted with a series of photos of a sexy young blond wearing a black mini dress, burning a flag with the star of David. Words can not express to what an extent I did not sign up for this shit.

That's what free from - wink wink nudge nudge - "censorship" means in Anglo-Saxon speak.

So I watched the other video on the Rumble site and it was a conspiracy video about how Covid was never an infectious disease but was only ever transmitted through the vaccines themselves. Before the vaccines came along the hospitals that we were told were loaded with patients were actually practically empty and doctors had little to do, except to put Covid on the death certificates of those who died of other causes. Only by watching videos like this will you ever know the "truth".

This was a guy I had been following for the Carnivore tips.

My diagnosis is that he decided to take a leaf off of the Alex Jones school of financial self-help: you encourage and instill fear and paranoia in your audience and then tell them that they can trust no one else, that you and you alone can tell them what is really going on, and that only you can tell them how to interpret the dystopian reality that they live in; and that only by commenting, liking and subscribing and of course sending you all their money will it be possible for you to continue to do all this important journalism with all the hard hitting facts that proper news stations and the government are hiding from you.

Don't join communities, is all I'm saying. Continue to think for yourself and never trust a guru. Male gurus of any kind (spiritual, vegetarians, carnivores...) are often rapists as well, don't be alone with them. Follow many different sites and don't be afraid to listen to contrarian voices. If I had stuck religiously to any one thing I would never have found the path that works for me.

I WOULD LIKE NAGA SEYMOUR HEAD CANNONS. I AM NOT THE OTHER ANON

Ask and ye shall receive!!

So we all know how clumsy cannon Seymour is right?

Like, our intro to his character is the poor guy breaking a shelf full of pots and such

Okay well take that and multiply it by like a billion cause naga Seymour?

Yeah he’s got no spacial awareness at all

He’s big

Like, really big since I headcannon him to be a boa species and them boys get chonky

So his coils are constantly looped around and over and around pots, tables, stools, and whatever else is laying around in the shop

And he tends to forget when he’s got his tail wrapped around stuff so he’ll move while he’s, say, got a pot or two in between his coils and...

Safe to say lots of stuff gets broken that way

He’s also constantly cold poor thing

There’s just not enough money to spare for extra heating in the shop so nine times out of ten you’ll find him curled up in a little ball under a too small blanket trying to keep warm

That also makes him pretty clingy and touch starved

Especially when it comes to Audrey

He really enjoys just looping his tail around her for a bit and just sitting and talking

He’s a nervous wreck when it comes to asking of course, but she’ll never turn him down

He’s gentle and his scales are really soft and shhhh don’t tell anyone but she likes being close to him

He’s almost always hungry since it takes a lot of food to fill both his stomachs

Not to mention the fact he’s almost entirely carnivorous and meat is pricey on skid row

If he were to eat something big enough then sure he’d actually be full for about a week or two, but he’s never actually been able to do that

Sometimes, when she can manage it, Audrey will make him something

He’s especially fond of chicken and while technically he could eat any sort of meat raw, he much prefers everything super well done

That’s most of what I’ve got for now but! If y’all want specific headcannons of any type I’ll be happy to provide :)

#ask #anon ask #ls0h stuff #fandom stuff #not vore or g/t #but if you want vorish headcannons then 👀

Chapter 63 – A Date We’ll Never Forget

‘Oh, you simply look marvelous in formal attire’ the shopkeeper complimented Legoshi on his appearance. She was an elderly peacock, running the second-hand clothing store where Legoshi decided to buy a new, somewhat formal outfit for himself for the night. ‘Wolves particularly look good in them. It makes me so jealous’ the peacock continued.

‘Thank you, I really do want to look good tonight’ Legoshi replied.

‘Special occasion I suppose.’

‘It couldn’t really get any more special than this!’

‘Then let’s ring you up and you can head on your way!’ the shopkeeper insisted with a cheerful tone and a wide smile on her face.

And so they did. A relatively cheap price for a relatively good-looking outfit for a possibly very special evening. The first thing that came to Legoshi’s mind after leaving the store was how proud Jack would have been to see him buy his own clothes for the first time. Come to think of it, it was actually way overdue, considering he only had two more outfits besides the one he just bought.

On his way home, he also dropped off the letter he wrote to Yafya to inform him that while his invitation was more than appreciated, he simply couldn’t attend as he had already had something else planned for the evening, that being dinner with Louis.

Still, Legoshi couldn’t help but think of that name. Yafya. He swore he could remember it. He knew it from somewhere. ‘Yafya’ it kept resonating in his head. As he was getting closer to home, the noise of the Black Market hit his ears. And suddenly, it all became clear to him why the five-letter name was so familiar to him.

When he was still training with Gouhin for his fight with Riz, Legoshi would jog through the Black Market every day. As he was making his way to Gouhin’s office, he would often come across the name scribbled or graffitied on walls. And most of these writings were not compliments. If anything, they were ill-hearted wishes.

‘A little detour won’ hurt’ Legoshi thought, so he made his way into the market.

The scent of meat products no longer made him sick or got to his nerves. The view of flesh and blood laid out or hung up on hooks in the several stalls no longer woke his meat deprivation symptoms. It felt good to be free of such chains and once again be able to move around with a clear head. Legoshi made his way through the usual route he would take when he was seeing Gouhin. It didn’t take him long to come across Yafya’s name.

‘Yafya is the Black Devil!’ a writing read near a bathroom. Legoshi walked inside to see if there were any more writings. When he walked inside, the wall, the mirrors and even the doors of the bathroom stalls were all graffitied full with black texts. ‘Kill Yafya’, ‘Serve Yafya on a plate!’, ‘Turn Yafya into horse meat’ and ‘Yafya must be killed’ were just some of the many messages the visiting animals had in mind.

When he finally had enough, Legoshi walked out and made his way home. On his way, he sank into his thoughts.

Is Yafya seen as evil by carnivores? Clearly. But is he seen as a hero and ally by herbivores? That would make perfect sense. After all, carnivores had to sell and eat meat in secret. Everyone knew that carnivores ate meat and where they got it from. Still, in society, the Black Market was taboo. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to call the place evil. He agreed that eating meat was something to be frowned upon, but he couldn’t call it evil as no carnivore wanted to be born as a carnivore and have to eat meat - him included. Also, after eating Louis’ foot, he didn’t feel he had the right to label eating meat as “evil”.

When he was finally home, he took a shower and then groomed and brushed his fur. It was, after all, still March and he was still in the middle of shedding. Even at work, he had to wear long-sleeved shirts and pants with an extra furnet and gloves to prevent the chance of fur getting into the customers' food. When he was done, he got dressed in his new outfit and looked at himself once again, with no better option at hand, in the front camera of his phone. He saw the time from the corner of his eye and realized he was running late.

He ran to the metro station, where he had to wait for quite awhile since he just missed the one earlier. On the entirety of the metro journey, he got increasingly nervous about running late and how he would make Louis wait for him. Then he began to worry about what they would talk about. After all, they began to see each other more frequently recently, so they didn’t have too much to talk about. And then there was his outfit. What will Louis think of it? Is it too much or perhaps too little? He was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

‘Great, just what I needed…’ he thought with a sour expression on his face.

When he got off, he ran to the restaurant where they agreed to meet at 8 pm. He looked at his phone and saw that it was already 8:09. He calmed himself down a little then walked inside. The host, a male gazelle, greeted him with a wide smile.

‘Good evening, sir. Are you just a walk-in or do you have a reservation for tonight?’ he asked.

‘Good evening. Yes, I have a reservation. A table for two. It’s under the name Legoshi.’

The host checked through his computer with his finger.

‘Ah, yes, table 71’ he said when he found Legoshi’s name. ‘I think your date is already waiting for you. He is one lucky guy’ the gazelle winked at him. Legoshi felt a little awkward, blushing and drooping his ears, looking to the side, not knowing how to respond. He still wasn’t used to getting compliments, after all.

He followed the host through the restaurant. The interior was simply jaw-dropping for Legoshi. The walls were covered in mahogany with golden accents, the floor was made of black marble and the chandelier in the main hall had at least ten thousand crystals individually hung on it. Below the chandelier was a sizable fountain with a large, circular pool, the home for a couple dozen koi fish and water lilies. It was near the fountain that Louis was seated, resting his head in the palm of his right hand.

‘Your table, sir’ the gazelle said to Legoshi when they got next to Louis. ‘Please take a seat, I will be back with the menus later.’

Legoshi sat down and greeted Louis with an awkward smile, apologizing for being late.

‘It’s okay’ Louis smiled. ‘I was a couple minutes late myself. Tell me, how was your day so far?’

‘It was pretty nice. I finished my shift a bit early and then went to get this outfit’ Legoshi replied.

‘I was about to say, you look snazzy tonight’ Louis chuckled. ‘It’s not every day I see you dressed so elegantly. Come to think of it, I can’t recall another occasion besides that one time’ he continued, trying to swallow his laughter.

‘Don’t tell me you still think about that time’ Legoshi rolled his eyes.

‘Look, all I’m saying is that red suits you a lot.’

The pair couldn’t hold it any longer and burst out laughing. They quickly covered their mouths once they realized the other guests were looking at them.

‘Okay, we need to keep it down, but we can still enjoy ourselves’ Louis said after calming down, wiping a tear from his eye. Legoshi nodded in agreement.

‘And how was your day?’ Legoshi asked.

‘Well, I studied for an upcoming test and then studied some more and then, you guessed it, studied even more. I swear, I can’t even take a shower without having to study material for the lessons.’

‘I’m sorry, it must be really difficult.’

‘Not as much as annoying’ Louis scoffed. ‘I thought university was supposed to be the time where you really enjoy yourself and, most importantly, the thing you are studying but lately, I feel like it isn’t for me.’

Legoshi placed his palm on Louis’ face and caressed it a little. ‘Come now, I don’t know you as someone to give up so easily’ he tried to reassure his love. ‘Coexistence and co-prosperity, remember?’

‘What are you saying?’ Louis raised an eyebrow.

‘Well, you need to coexist with your studies right now, even though it might seem tough, for you to be able to prosper, now and later, too.’

‘Wow, that’s… oddly specific…’

‘I’m sorry’ Legoshi scratch the back of his head. ‘I should just stop talking, right?’

‘Oh, no no no no, that’s not what I meant!’ Louis intervened quickly. ‘I’m just not used to you saying something so philosophical. Especially referring to my speech about a year ago.’

They smiled at each other for a while, then the host returned to them with the manus.

‘Sorry to keep you waiting this long. I’m Chen and I will be your server for the night. Can I start you off with a drink?’ the gazelle asked, handing out the menus and grabbing a pen and notepad from his vest’s pocket.

‘Well, I was thinking about having a glass of plum wine’ Louis placed his order.

‘I would just like some still mineral water, please, with ice’ Legoshi said.

‘Coming right up!’ Chen said.

Louis sent a knowing look towards Legoshi. He could read him like a book. He knew he tried to appear and act innocent but deep down let loose a little.

‘You know you can relax with me, right?’ he asked. ‘You don’t have to be on your guard all the time. We’re on a date, let’s enjoy it while we can’ he suggested, smiling.

‘I know, I just… don’t think I would like alcohol.’

‘It’s okay, I understand, just wanted to let you know.’

They opened the menus and looked them through. From appetizers to desserts, everything looked delicious, making it hard for them to choose. Eventually, Louis settled on some herb crusted asparagus with brown rice, while Legoshi went for an egg salad. They kept looking at the menu after placing their orders, looking for desserts.

‘I think I might go for a key lime pie’ Legoshi said.

‘That sounds nice. I thought about the cherry pie’ Louis responded.

‘And we’ll share?’

‘Of course.’ They started laughing.

Chen brought out the food and they started eating. Everything was going well. The food was delicious, the company was nice and they talked all throughout the evening. Eventually, the topics hit a bit more serious tone.

‘I was thinking, Legoshi, if in the future, where and how would we live together?’ Louis asked.

‘Oh, well, I don’t know how to reply to that right now?’ Legoshi said in confusion.

‘Sorry, if it’s too sudden…’

‘It’s okay… It’s just that I don’t really have too much to offer. I mean…’ Legoshi sighed. ‘I have two minimum-wage jobs and barely enough money to maintain myself. To be honest, I don’t even know what I will eat until the month’s end after paying for dinner here.’

Louis placed his index finger on his rambling boyfriend’s mouth.

‘You already offer way more than I need. I just want you to be you, no materialistic thoughts, alright?’ he smiled. ‘Plus, I meant like, the bigger picture, you know, marriage, starting a family?’

‘I’m sorry, but I really have to think this through first…’ Legoshi replied.

‘Alright, alright, we’re not in a hurry. Just curious if you had any thoughts about that recently.’

Things went silent for a bit as they continued eating. Chen came once or twice to check if everything was okay, to which the boys replied ‘yes’.

They eventually started talking again, reminiscing about school and telling each other funny stories, such as the first time Legoshi attended rehearsal and immediately getting his foot stuck in a bucket or when Louis got tangled in the curtain and pulled it onto himself. They talked about hobbies, interests and how much they appreciate the other.

Finally, it was time for dessert, but instead of the two slices of pie, Chen came with additional company in the shape of a black horse, wearing a black suit with a black shirt and matching black tie.

‘Gentlemen, this is Yafya. He insisted on sitting at your table, since this is his usual table.’

‘But we reserved this table for tonight’ Louis replied.’

‘Well yes and Yafya canceled his reservation tonight, too, but he insists on re-reserving it last minute. And since we don’t have any more free tables, the only solution we could come up with was to have him sit with you.’

‘You should have thought about this earlier, haven't you? Changing up your mind about a dinner reservation is simply irresponsible’ Louis said. ‘I’m sorry but we don’t want you to sit with us, right, Legoshi?’

Legoshi gulped as he looked at the horse. He felt his stomach curl up, regretting turning down dinner with Yafya.

‘Well, I simply must insist. You see, I already had dinner planned with Legoshi for tonight before he rudely messaged me at the last minute about canceling said plans for me entirely’ Yafya said with a malicious smile on his face.

‘What is he talking about, Legoshi?’

‘I got a package from him for stopping a few bloodbone drug dealers. It had a waxed letter at the bottom of the box, which I opened just last night. Since we had plans for tonight since last week, I turned down his invitation in the form of a letter’ Legoshi explained nervously.

‘Sir, you’re making us both feel uncomfortable, please leave’ Louis said with more firmness in his tone.

‘Well, it seems, I can’t enjoy your company… I’ll be on my way then…’ Yafya said as he walked away.

‘Sorry about that. We tried to reason with him, but he’s too influential’ Chen apologized.

‘It’s okay… at least we can enjoy our dessert in peace’ Legoshi said.

In a couple minutes, Chen was back with the two slices of pie. They both had a bite of their own, then Legoshi offered a bite from his key lime pie to Louis. They both thought it was amazing.

‘You know, before I offer you some of mine, I thought about some sort of pre-dessert for you’ Louis said. ‘You know, I was thinking… maybe… since you’re over your deprivation symptoms, we could… um… kiss?’

Legoshi turned bright red. It all felt too soon, but he wanted nothing more than to kiss Louis. However, as embarrassing as it was, he never kissed anyone before, besides Riz but that’s another story, and had no idea how to do it. He got a bit closer to Louis and caressed his face, who in return smiled softly and pursed his lips.

It all seemed sweet, but suddenly, instead of a kiss, Louis started coughing violently. Legoshi ran to him and started patting his back, thinking it was a piece of pie that went the wrong way, but the coughing just intensified, leading to Louis collapsing to the ground, unable to breathe.

‘Quick, someone call a doctor!’ Legoshi yelled for help.

The ambulance arrived within minutes and took Louis to the nearest hospital. Legoshi joined him and waited patiently in the ward until results came back.

‘Your friend was poisoned’ the doctor said, leaving Legoshi pale in worry. ‘Fortunately for him, you were there and acted very quickly. We could find the antidote and stabilize him, but we’ll have to keep him here for observation. At least for the night, but maybe longer.’

‘Do what you have to, doctor’ Legoshi said.

‘You might want to inform the authorities though. This kind of poison is very serious and is only used by those who are very influential.’

‘I see. Could you please tell me more about this poison.’

‘Of course. It’s called Abyss. What it does is turn the victim’s view pitch black, basically blinding them. It then blocks the hearing and then starts blocking the respiratory system as well. From then, it’s only a very short time until the nervous system collapses, too, resulting in death. That’s why it was crucial that you didn’t hesitate to call for help. Well done!’

The doctor left the ward, leaving the two alone. Legoshi wrote a text to his boss that he won’t be able to take up his shift the next morning because of unforeseen events. After all, he suspected who might be behind all this and he wanted to pay him a visit.

Don't forget to vote below! You have until Wednesday, June 28 to pick anoption. :)

Using this to help flesh out the character for my plot

VF Hunk HCs 💛✨

Pulling from the comics, he’s from a big family, literally, he’s the youngest out of about 5 siblings and also the smallest out of them all

Yes the team has met them and they all get along, his family loves Pidge the most since he’s the baby of the team

He’s got tons of tattoos, he has a sleeve on one arm and the other is just small ones

the sleeve was taken from this art so thank you @chibi-pix for letting me do so

the small ones are more Voltron themed, taking from the vld lion symbols and also just a lion tattoo because he deserves it

Also has many many piercings, he’s the reason why Larmina and Pidge got some because frankly they’re so rad

He’s got a burn scar on his eye to match yellow that also has a funky eye, he got it from protecting a kid from some flaming debris, he couldn’t block it all and it got on his face

This man is ALSO a genius because how the fuck does he land in an engineering position if he doesn’t know just as much as Pidge does

He acts like a meat head mainly because it was the mask that kept him safe while working for Wade, he has trouble taking it off when he’s back on Arus with the team

Usually the team eats what the kitchen staff make but sometimes Hunk steps in and makes a dinner for them instead, if he can grill he can cook normally

Cooking is also the way he gets the cadets to bond, he likes being the cool uncle but he also does want to teach them things

his carnivore tendencies means they cook a lot of meat based dishes

He helped give some personal touches to the uniforms, while the design itself is kept basic and uniform (aha) everyone wants their own touch of something

In his case he and pidge got short sleeves as they work in the hangar a lot, will probably add to this soon but in terms of uniforms that’s all I got

His anger issues didn’t fully go away to be honest, he learned to reign in it yes but it comes out when kids and mothers specifically are in danger

That’s because he really does care for kids and he remembers his own mother and if he doesn’t want his own to get hurt he won’t let anybody else’s get hurt either

He’s the only one with a normal ish family, he’s got two parents and siblings that are all alive and well

He does have some issues based on how his family treats each other but they mainly get along even if it isn’t entirely healthy

I swear I’m working on my rewrite, script writing is just hard 😫 I’m currently working in the first episode which is basically the same as the canon one with some changes to the Drule side of things so hopefully I’ll be able to post soon

#vforce11 #voltron force 2011 #voltron force #voltron #vf hunk #hunk tsuyoshi garrett #toast talks #Voltron force: succession #I’ve got ideas I just have to collect them all in one spot

— a child who raised a child / on homelessness ; food .

( * tws for homelessness / starvation mentions / malnourishment / and in general sonic having like really bad self-feeding habits )

||. so @aeniqmata & i were gabbing earlier as we do and l i s t e n...

Hedgehogs are omnivorous creatures similarly to foxes, except the diets are COMPLETELY flipped. A pet hedgehog’s dominant source of food is kitten food ( which does include high sources of protein, including meat sources like fish and chicken ) but they primarily eat veggies, insects (beetles, worms, etc.) and fruits. Foxes, on the other hand, foxes eat primarily meats, with less emphasis on veggies, nuts and berries.

All of that to say . . . finding a balance between the two of them that would benefit both of their needs was ABSOLUTELY incredibly difficult for Sonic and Tails. Tails needs more meat in his diet than someone with Sonic’s lifestyle could provide. Not to mention Sonic being 11-12 at the time. I won’t talk on flout’s tails’ behalf because honestly her thoughts on it are SO HECCIN COOL and I wouldn’t be able to do them justice - but I can say that while Sonic’s methods weren’t foolproof by ANY means, he did try to go well above and beyond his best.

We’re talking research into carnivorous diets, with emphasis on foxes, asking other mobian foxes on their travels about THEIR lifestyles in as casual a way as possible because if he HAS to do field research then dangit, he will. Saving up from various odd jobs so that the two of them could go out and eat and purposefully letting Tails pick out whatever suits his fancy (and, by that, I mean he very carefully observes him to see what makes his eyes light up, even if Tails doesn’t pick it on his own... and then ordering that for him anyways, even if it takes up most of his savings, because it’s what Tails actually WANTS rather than what he’s resigning himself to.) side note: but chilidogs being the sort of safe middle ground for the two of them??? Along with being relatively cheap to buy from vendors, and easy to make on the road.

Anyways, Sonic struggling to juggle their VASTLY different diets and feeling terrible whenever Tails might fall ill from not having enough - in general, not just when it comes to properly eating meats. (But also to that extent, meats potentially being harder for someone of sonic’s former income class (being: none) to get sometimes because of the nature of the islands and mobian-dense populations .... even if the critters exist??? I am a Think.)

There would be times when no matter how much Sonic would stock up, they ran out. And, even then, so often on the go, there’s only so much you can have with you physically on hand. Those times weren’t... great. But Sonic would go out of his way to make sure Tails ate what they had - usually the majority of what they had despite Sonic’s own speed very much meaning he needs to eat way, way more. (his logic: Tails is a kid, and the kid gets food first. Sonic can eat what’s left and is willing and capable of supplementing with whatever is around that he can gather.) And he knows he can’t outsmart the fox and he knows he can’t make him worry less, but he’ll play it off and offer to share if it means Tails Does Not Go Hungry Tonight.

Sonic is, even now, VERY used to going days without as much food intake as he needs and... at some point he just stopped noticing he was hungry until it started to physically catch up with him. (intense fatigue, general sluggishness, the occasional stomach pain when it got really bad, etc) Like, logically he knows he needs food, but he can’t really tell anymore on the day-to-day. the signs don’t show up so drastically for him to take heed of it and if he’s preoccupied, he’ll forget until it’s late, and then he realizes “oh i only had like (1) bagel today. should probably fix that.”

#homelessness tw #food tw #malnourishment tw #starvation tw #(idk lmk what else to tag if i need to??)#⸨ * HC ⸩ — i’m gonna reach for the stars although they look pretty far .#aeniqmata #aeniqmata / tails #(i tag u bc u made me think v hard about this /again/ and it is a sad one but look ok)#(u can rebagle if u want to u r the homie)

Actually, the "feral cats destroy their local ecosystems" thing appears to be increasingly based on faulty data, driven by a handful of researchers who genuinely have a disturbing fixation with destroying the concept of pet ownership.

That notwithstanding, I'm not sure that domestic cats would consider their lives to be the ideal. "Safer and healthier*", maybe, but cats aren't cattle. They don't just want to be SAFE. They're obligate carnivores. This is like the classic sci-fi 'enslaving humans to keep them from making dangerous decisions' setup.

*the overwhelming majority of housecats are sterilized, so I think there's a STRONG case to be made against claims of 'health', in light of the fact that reproductive capability is a significant part of what constitutes health

I think you're anthropomorphizing animals a tad too much--and underestimating the effect domestication has had on cats.

Cats aren't like, for example, exotic pets. You can take an exotic animal out of the jungle, but they haven't been domesticated for thousands of years for human companionship. They are still, at their cores, wild animals.

Cats, on the other hand, have been domesticated for thousands of years for human companionship. They are adapted for living indoors, with human care. Just like you wouldn't let your dog run loose without a leash, you shouldn't let your cat run loose. They may be able to survive, yes, but they would need to get lucky. The world outside is not built for cats, and cats are not built for the world outside.

(I, personally, had indoor-outdoor cats as a child, and we also cared for a small colony of stray cats. Our indoor-outdoor cats frequently ran afoul of dangers such as dogs, stinging insects, and inclement weather. Our strays were lucky enough to have relatively safe shelter in our carport, but that didn't stop them from climbing where they shouldn't, eating what they shouldn't, fighting what they shouldn't, and falling ill more often.)

They also don't, generally, care about being sterilized, and as someone who is becoming increasingly less fertile due to PCOS, your feelings on sterilization are...concerning, to say the least. Sterile creatures, both human and non, are capable of living perfectly happy, healthy lives, and reproductive capability is not a necessity, especially for animals that are never, ever going to be bred or miss their junk.

The depiction of spayed/neutered cats in the Warrior Cats series is also extremely disconnected from reality. I have had cats my entire life. Some things do change after spaying/neutering, but my cats have never become "fat and lazy", as the books describe. They have continued to be active, loving, and perfectly healthy.

Also, humans have their tubes tied all the time, so, again, your view on sterilization is...concerning.

Yes, cats are obligate carnivores--which is why we feed them meat. I'm not sure what kinds of cat owners you've met, but my cats have always eaten meat. They've also always had ways to express their prey drive. Cats don't care whether the prey they're hunting is real or not. Most don't know any better, having lived their entire lives indoors, away from prey. They'll hunt lizards, or bugs, or mice that enter their (indoor) territory, but they're also perfectly happy to hunt shoe strings. This expends energy and engages their prey drive.

Again, cats do not think like humans.

That said, there have been many studies done on the impact of feral cats on local ecosystems, done by many different people. This isn't a new topic of conversation. It's been around for quite some time. Science is always correcting itself, so it's possible that new data will come to light that disputes this.

However, even if cats don't significantly impact your local ecosystem, your local ecosystem can significantly impact them. Again, dogs, coyotes, foxes, birds of prey, even other cats can seriously injure or kill your pet. Cats are both predator and prey. They can also very easily fall victim to cars, poison, and human cruelty.

Cats belong indoors. They are safest, happiest, and healthiest indoors. They are not wild animals.

Warrior Cats are not real. They live in a fictional world and do not accurately represent real cats. They are hyper-intelligent compared to real cats, with a concept of morality and even their own religion. Perhaps from their perspective, what you've said may be true. My post wasn't meant to be taken seriously, given the fantastical nature of the books. I just thought it would be funny to imagine a grand cover-up by StarClan meant to keep the Clans alive and the Clan cats feral.

I am extremely passionate about animals, cats in particular. Cats have been a part of my life quite literally since I was born. They have been my family. My current cat, Chester, is so like a son to me that I would truly give my life for him. If asked to choose between him and another human family member, I would struggle to make that choice. There is no one more important to me.

I hope you understand why I've gone on this long tangent. If I misunderstood anything, please let me know. I'm not good at reading tone over the Internet (or even IRL at times), but given your references to real life, I assumed you sincerely hold all of the beliefs you expressed, rather than expressing them from the view of a Warrior Cat.

That's what I do! Like I know.. Regardless of the size of tattoos, tattoo is still a tattoo. But when people say tattooed, I am imaging visibly big tattoos and even their covered in tattoos. So I do think the same way.

I have no tattoos.. But I have many piercings. Not that I wouldn't want tattoos, but I'm really too perfectionistic about my appearance. I'm so obsessive compulsive about my appearance (not necessarily because of my disorder). So I can't get tattoos for that reason. I'm too nitpicky.

I should slap you because of your stupid puns.

If we're talking about insects, I might have to say that my favorite bug is a black widow spider. At least one of my favorite insects anyway.

I feel like Rocky's immune to compliments. Don't get me wrong! He is appreciative about compliments, especially from women. But... Since he's always around women, I believe he is used to the compliments all the compliments women give him. Maybe he was flustered when WR was first formed because he wasn't fully confident then, but he's very confident now. If that makes sense. But Cobra is a different situation. Cobra's attractive. Everyone (in Sannoh) knows he's attractive, but I'd never seen anyone compliment him in any way to his face though. So if someone compliments him, he may be flustered in awkward ways.

Like in Vincenzo. Snitches get stitches! Well.. More like snitches have died from getting stabbed repeatedly until you bled out. Although I'm loving my boys, this is where I'm different from that - at least with our boy Gun. "She may be small, but she is fierce." That quote is me. If I'm seeing or hearing someone being disrespectful to me (or anyone else) in any way, I'm giving that person an attitude they'd just never expect. Attitude, violence, anything and everything in my power that works in my favor. I might be a violent person. This small body contains rage.

But that was funny that Gun-woo thought Jae Myeong was also over forty years old. I thought Jae was older than that too. He looks so old.

Yeah. Jin's easily excitable about everything, Gun is easily excitable to some extent. But especially Jin. And... I'm happy he never stole any of the money because of cameras everywhere, inside and outside of the whole bookstore building. Jin wouldn't have gotten a job if that would have happened. And to be fair, that around the same time that you do find out Jin used to be a petty criminal working as a loan shark. I'm so happy Jin changed his life around when he really met his real family.

Jin was definitely in shock when he saw that money, Gun was also in shock. But Jin was the one actually counting the money when he saw it though.. Which was funny. So boys were in awe seeing that money.

That's what I was thinking. And I did try researching that... Because it depends on which type of meats, and where you're buying that meat. Ribeye in the sense of burgers or steaks? Are you buying that meat in a store, or going to a restaurant. The size of the meat too. But I'd keep forgetting meat is apparently considered delicates meals in any Asian countries. Compared to America, Europe and Australia where you are able to eat meat whenever you want. If you have a carnivorous diet.

Like I've said before.. If I ever say or do anything that makes you really uncomfortable, just let me know. I'll try reigning myself in a bit more.

Black Sails is like that! I recommend the series. It's a pirate series. Not only are majority of the cast is attractive (in my opinion). But a series.. This series is authentic. And half the characters are canonically queer too, including female characters [heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, even poly relationships too]. Every time someone gets injured, they're always leaving scars behind on them. Great fight scenes. Also one of Ray Stevenson's last roles as an actor if that means anything. There is diversity based on gender, ethnicity and sexual. Just about anything I could think of, you'll love about the series. One of my favorite series.

And don't get me started on that soundtrack too. I love the music.

Actually.. I do that. I have already mentioned to you. That I really am a short person for someone of my age. And I'm actually fully grown too. Despite when people would say, I was not always bullied over my size like people always seem to assume. But when I was really teased over my height, those bullies were guys, which would led me to hitting any of them in the balls because of their comments. Seriously. Every time they thought it was funny to make vulgar comments about my height whenever they saw me, just like I thought it was funny when I'd crush their balls. Until they eventually they stop teasing me. So I win again.

So... I just researched the aging in Korea. Since drinking age is always different in every country. Apparently the drinking age in Korea would be nineteen. Nineteen in the universal age, but twenty in Korean age.

But I did think Ju was the youngest amongst those three characters - she really appears much younger than her actual age, so I would have thought she was the youngest before she made those comments.

So Bibi's fighting style is more close range, but with Da-min's fighting style being more distance range. Which makes sense for Da-min, just because she is actually a long distance fighter. At least with archery.

I don't know any of my character's fighting styles yet. Obviously.. I will say that my one Bloodhounds character knows hand to hand combat to some extent, but not sure about any weapons. So I don't know yet.

I wouldn't say that Gun-woo and Woo-jin are bad with weapons, more like they don't like to use weapons. They just prefer their hands... That was obvious when Yang was teaching the boys about blade weapons.

Naturally brown hair, dyed dark blue, not sure about post time skip is what I had in mind. I've already said that.. I do want her to have brown hair, even for a short while. Because maybe sibling commentary does have to be jokingly said toward OC and Jin. But then dies it sometime after that, not sure when that is. But then different hairstyles after the time skip. That's all I have in mind for her hair right now.

Oh... I've been noticing Worst Of Evil on my pages since everyone has been posting pictures and gifs already. And I might have to watch the show when I have a chance, when it's on a channel I have (unless I am able to watch on a site). The actor who's the detective, I have recently watched a show with him as the main character.. I liked his character. And I know the guy from Squid Games is another character too. So I'll know some of the actors. And, obviously, it's a crime drama series.

And if you start watching Vincenzo, remember the story picks up way more by episode three and four. I've thought the first couple episodes were an introduction to the story, the characters, everything like that. So try watching more episodes before giving any more opinions. And, if you still don't enjoy show, I won't be too critical about your opinion. Everyone has their preferences in what they love and hate. All of that.

I may use AleXa's Girls Gone Vogue era for the Vincenzo fandom.. I do want to use that style, just not sure which fandom. Maybe Vincenzo.

Extracurricular is also a crime drama series... I might have mentioned that show to you. But there's that show too. If you decide to watch it.

I'm watching horror movies at the moment. And I may watch Train To Busan soon.. Maybe not tonight. But probably before watching All Of Us Are Dead. Because Korean zombie concepts all at one time. So I'm probably just going to watch AOUAD much sooner than I intended to.

i’ve got a handful of piercings (double lobes, helix, nose) and i wanted a conch piercing but my helix took forever to heal so i’m holding off for now. i also want more tattoos and am looking at working with a tattoo artist for a forearm piece.

i love puns and word play!

i love teddy bear bees most, but i love all bees. they’re just cool! and there’s so many species of blue ones??!!? and the largest bee species’ queens grow up to a lil over 1.5 inches and they’re so fluffy and the smallest bee is barely 2mm! and cuckoo bees have some genuinely cool patterns. sorry, rambling, i love bees sm

rocky takes compliments gracefully. he’s not flustered but is still flattered. usually returns compliments in kind to women because he’s a gentleman. meanwhile cobra’s kind of a loner or usually hanging out with guys so when girls compliment him he’s surprised and flustered and maybe a lil blushy if it’s a girl he likes. like we talked about earlier, a girl’s gotta be straightforward with cobra.

i’m too chill to fight. argue yes unless i can get out of the situation. but physically? nope. not me. i’m more in my head about things anyway, like telepaths would be taking psychic damage from the amount of attitude i have while keeping my mouth shut.

especially at work since i have a retail job and customers are. stupid.

gun gets excited when jin’s excited, but is otherwise the chiller of the two. jin gets hyped up tho, like about the money or when they got hired for the job and ju’s watching them on the security cam.

yea, like beef is so common and pretty cheap in australia. sure we have our more expensive stuff, austalian wagyu and all that. but otherwise it’s not difficult to find decently cheap beef in aus. so it’s surprising that it’s so rare and expensive in places like korea. i’m more of a fan of chicken and fish tho tbh, not a huge fan of steak.

you’re gonna be mad. black sails is another one of those popular shows imve never had a real interest in watching. it’s just so long and i’ve already got so much stuff backlogged to watch. i know it’s good, i’m just. slack.

bi is close range and very fast, she’s usually plotting out to hit weak points and take people down quickly. da min’s at a distance and can take her time to line up incapacitating shots.

idk, from that fight at the fish farm, i’d say weapons aren’t really their strong suit. gotta say, i was impressed by gun tho, throwing that metal grate around. he’s strong as hell. jin ….. could’ve done better than a net i think, but good enough. both are far better with their fists.

i dont follow enough people with similar interests so i haven’t seen any worst of evil stuff yet, but i’m excited to watch it! will get back to you after i’ve watched the first episode!

well i’m up to ep3 of vincenzo i believe, so i’ll watch 3 and 4 and see if i’m feeling any more interested in it. if not, i’ll switch out to pending train for my boy yuki yamada.

i was also thinking of watching the killing vote, it’s apparently got the actor who plays myeong gil in it but idk if he’s a good guy or a villain. i didn’t know he was in it when i first came across it, i just saw weird dog mask and crime thriller genre and went ‘yea i’ll watch that’.

Can Cats Eat Banana? Everything You Need to Know About 2023

Could a cat eat a banana? You want to know if a cat can eat a banana. Should you give your cat a banana? Find out more about cats as pets right now!

Can Cats Eat Bananas?

Could a cat eat a banana? People who have cats often wonder if they can eat bananas because their cats may be interested in this popular fruit. Yes, cats can eat bananas. That's the short answer. Bananas are safe for cats to eat, but they should only be given to them in small amounts as a treat and not as a replacement for real cat food.

Cats are "obligate carnivores," which means that they can only eat meat, so they don't need to eat fruits or vegetables. If you give your cat too much banana, it can upset its stomach and even make it throw up. But cats can enjoy bananas in small amounts and they are good for them. Some cats might even like the way bananas smell and feel in their mouths.

When adding a new food to a cat's diet, it's important to keep an eye on how they react and make sure they don't have any stomach problems. In the end, bananas are probably safe for cats, but they shouldn't make up a big part of their diet.

Is it good for cats to eat bananas?

You want to know if cats can eat bananas? Well, let me ask you this: do cats have a reputation for being able to make a tasty kale salad or a fancy fruit smoothie? No, my friend. They are obligate carnivores, which means that they were made to eat the tasty meat of other animals. Still, you're thinking about giving them something with a lot of sugar, like bananas.

Sure, they might be able to eat a piece without getting in trouble right away, but just you wait. Soon, their delicate digestive systems will rebel, and you'll have to deal with diarrhoea that won't go away, not even with an IV drip of electrolytes. And let's not forget that they might throw up as a bonus treat.

Now, you might say that bananas have vitamins and minerals, but doesn't your furry friend get enough of those from the meat they eat? Also, let's not forget that some cats can be allergic to bananas. So, unless you like cleaning up messes and having a very upset cat, I suggest you keep those bananas for yourself and let them eat something healthy that cats can eat.

Can kittens eat bananas?

Hey, can kittens eat some delicious bananas? Well, I'm here to tell you that yes, kittens can eat bananas. Bananas are one of the fruits that both kittens and their full-grown friends can enjoy. These little balls of fur need as much nutrition as they can get, and bananas give them that. These yellow treats are a great part of their diet because they are full of vitamins, minerals, and even a bit of magnesium.

Now, I should say that kittens shouldn't be given too many bananas. They shouldn't replace their regular cat food, but it's fine to give them small amounts of this new food at first. As responsible pet owners, you should always keep an eye on how your little friend reacts and talk to your vet if you have any worries. But if you want to know if kittens can have a banana once in a while, the answer is a resounding yes!

How much banana can your cat eat without getting sick?

So, if you've ever asked yourself, "How much banana can I give my cat without hurting it?" So, here's what's up. Since cats eat meat, they don't really need to eat bananas. But a small treat every so often won't hurt them. If you want to give your cat bananas, don't give it too many. If they eat too many bananas, it can make them sick and give them diarrhoea.

Also, watch out for the banana peel, which can cause choking. Before giving your cat a new food, you should always talk to your vet, especially if your cat has any health problems. Remember that a healthy cat has certain dietary needs, and that too much fruit, even bananas, can throw them off balance.

Also, bananas have a lot of sugar and calories, which can make cats gain weight or even get diabetes. So, if you want to give your cat some banana, do it sparingly and keep in mind your cat's dietary needs and health as a whole.

How to give bananas to your cat

So, if you ever think about giving your furry friend a banana, here's what you need to know. First of all, it's important to know that cats can't get sick from bananas. That's a big relief, right? In fact, bananas are good for them because they are full of potassium. But it's possible to have too much of a good thing. If you give your cat too many bananas, it might get sick.

Bananas are also a human food, so they might not have the right mix of nutrients for your cat. And remember that too many bananas could cause health problems like diabetes if you eat too many of them. So, if you still want your cat to try this yellow fruit, you should do so in small amounts.

Just make sure to take off the banana peel before giving it to your cat, as it is hard for them to digest. You might even be able to cut it up like cat treats and add it to their regular food. Always put safety first.

If you feed your cat bananas, are there any risks?

There are some risks to feeding cats bananas, so you should be careful. First, bananas have a lot of sugar, which can cause diabetes if you eat too many of them. Most of a cat's daily calories should come from protein-rich foods, and giving them bananas could throw off this balance.

Even though cats need some of the nutrients found in bananas, they are not a complete or necessary part of their diet.On the other hand, bananas are not dangerous for cats because they are bananas.If you eat a lot of them, you might have trouble digesting them or get an upset stomach, but a small amount as a treat is usually fine.

But it's important to keep in mind that some cats might have a bad reaction to bananas, so it's always important to keep a close eye on your cat when you give it new foods. As responsible pet owners, we need to make sure that our cats have a healthy, balanced diet that meets all of their nutritional needs. Bananas should not be the main thing they eat.
