Welcome to the Team
Wanda Maximoff x Reader x Jeff the landshark
Summary: Jeff meets the team
A/N: Here is part 2 of my Jeff AU. In celebration of today being a year since I first posted a fic there will be a double bill of Jeff! The final 1 year celebration request includes Jeff too so you can expect that later on. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this part, it's practically a crack!fic 😂
Tumblr media
It is unusual for everyone to be sitting in the lounge area on a random Friday afternoon. But you have put it off for long enough so it is time to finally rip off the band-aid.
You are standing facing the group of heroes who are all looking at you expectedly with Wanda standing right behind you. You look over your shoulder and see her give you an encouraging smile, waiting for you to start talking.
Taking a breath, you begin. "Okay. I know you're all wondering why we've asked you here today." And before you can get anywhere the Avengers must think this is the cue to start a guessing game.
"Wanda's pregnant!" Tony exclaims.
Some of the quicker thinkers widen their eyes and reflexively look at you.
You point at him to quickly shut down the thought, "No."
"Really? There have been some weird noises coming from your room lately," Sam thinks aloud.
Once again you are stopped before you can comment.
"You're moving out together?" Bucky asks.
You're about to decline the accusation but then they all come flooding in.
"You finally proposed?" Natasha questions.
"Wanda proposed?" Steve opposes.
"Oh wow, I really thought it would be you to pop the question, Y/n. What a twist," Carol, who you don't even know why she is here, says.
"You got a dog?" Peter speaks with a hopeful look in his eye.
"A cat maybe?" Bucky decides to add his own input. Along with Bruce who follows with, "Perhaps a rabbit?"
You turn to see Wanda amused by the whole thing. Turning back around, you have to raise your voice to be heard, "QUIET!" This manages to restore some order to the meeting you called.
"Thank you," you relax. "None of you are right. Actually I guess Peter, Bucky and Bruce were close."
You see Peter raise his hand for a fist bump but Bruce mistakes it for a high five so it turns into an awkward closed hand around a fist situation. Bucky is too far from either of them to celebrate the small victory.
"There is a new addition to the compound, his name is Jeff," you announce.
"Who names a hamster 'Jeff'?" Peter asks.
"No way, it's going to be a parrot. Or some kind of bird right?" Clint 'The Hawkeye' Barton guesses.
Once again this starts off a new guessing game - What animal could it be?
"Monkey," "Raccoon," "Fox," "Guinea pig," "Chameleon," "Duck!"
You begin to question your life choices, how did you ever end up in this situation? Maybe you should have set this gathering up like a game show at least then it might have been fun for you too.
Instead of stopping them this time you take a seat until they hopefully tire themselves out.
"No, no. From the noises I heard it's definitely a goat," Sam remarks.
You decide it's hopeless when the discussion doesn't look like it will cease. Giving up the waiting game you nod your head to Wanda rolling your eyes, you can tell she is holding in her laughter for your sake.
She leaves the area and after a few moments she returns with Jeff. It is only when the pitter patter sound of footsteps close in do they realise you are no longer standing directly in front of them. Instead you are next to Wanda with a new being between you.
You could hear a pin drop now that everyone's gazes are fixed to the little guy.
"Everybody, this is Jeff," you introduce your new roommate.
The attention seems to make Jeff nervous, you don't know if he has ever had this many eyes on him. Possibly when he was captive in the lab. You realise this could be traumatic for him so you guide him to step behind you.
His two front feet grip your leg as he peers round to see everyone still looking at him.
Wanda sits on the floor close to him with a hand resting on the fin on his back. "It's okay Jeff, they're all friendly," she reassures him.
"Is that a fish with legs?" Clint asks, "Oh man, I was way off."
"He's a shark," you say matter-of-factly. When you see everyone's expression change to a worried or frightened one you clarify further in hopes to calm their nerves. "A landshark!"
It doesn't work.
"Y/n, what the hell is a landshark? You better start explaining and fast," Natasha all but threatens you. You can see one of her hands has disappeared behind her back meaning she is defensively readying a knife behind her.
"He's not harmful, he's really friendly," you say. Then you remember some things you have read about sharks so are quick to add, "Also sharks are misconstrued as being vicious when they're actually not. They get a bad rep even though they're basically puppies of the ocean. Did you know, more people are killed each year by coconu-"
"Y/n!" Natasha interrupts.
"Right," you say, gathering your thoughts and glancing down at him. "He's nice and friendly and really playful. A bit of a clutz too. We've had him hidden in our room for about two weeks now."
This seems to bring Tony's attention away from the shark to you, "Oh really? And you didn't think to mention this to the person who pays for everything around here?"
"We were going to tell you after the first night he stayed but didn't bother because we didn't think he would be here for this long. Dr Cho was trying to get a specialist in to take a look at him but there were delays," Wanda momentarily takes over for you.
"Oh, so Cho knows. That's great," Tony comments sarcastically, "as well as the specialist, right?"
"Yes. Plus two others who work with the specialist," you add much to Tony's dismay.
Jeff seems to be a bit more comfortable because he has come out from behind you. He tugs on your pant leg wanting to be picked up by you so you oblige and feedback to the group what you have found out so far.
"They finally looked him over a couple of days ago. No one knows where he has come from or why he looks the way he does. The working theory is that he was experimented on which fits with what Wanda saw in a flash the first time she came in contact with him."
Jeff starts squirming in your arms so you nod to Wanda to continue while you try to settle Jeff by whispering words of affirmation to him. Telling him none of these people will hurt him as you rub up and down his back.
"From the tests and interacting with him so far he seems to be able to understand us and in addition to being able to breathe air he can breathe underwater too. The more time we spend with him the easier it has been to communicate," Wanda finishes, while she scratches under Jeff's chin which helps calm his nerves.
Everyone looks on in silence as Jeff pulls away from you slightly. You speak in a low tone asking if he wants to say hi to the team. Which, reluctantly, he agrees to.
There is a strong bond between you, even if it hasn't been too long since you found him, so he knows he can trust anyone you want to introduce him to.
You go to place him on the ground but he whines a little while clutching your shirt. Instead, you stand back up and he turns in your arms facing the expecting crowd.
He raises his little hand in a wave speaking in a small voice, "Mrr."
In a second everybody's eyes soften and you hear a collective 'aww' sound out.
Maybe you should have started with this.
They are all about to rush over but you stop them from doing so with a hand out in front of you while taking a step back. Wanda moves swiftly standing between the incoming horde and Jeff.
"One at a time," she requests.
Peter makes his way over first and greets Jeff introducing himself.
It definitely must be a sight, all of this.
A young couple holding a shark as if he is a baby. It is only inevitable that someone asks, "So, is Jeff like your child then?"
And of course that person has to be Natasha.
The Jeff you are looking at now is unrecognisable to the Jeff from half an hour ago. He has lossened right up.
After everyone introduced themselves Peter decided to show Jeff his web slingers and, against yours and Wanda's wishes, hung Jeff upside down from the ceiling. The excited noise and wide smile was enough to make you step back. But not too far back just enough, in case you needed to catch him.
After that he spent some time with Carol who showed him a glowing fist. Natasha smirked at Wanda and you as she twirled a knife around her fingers, Bucky doing the same which turned into a contest.
When they weren't looking you picked him up and moved him away from the crazy movements.
As the only member with kids Clint simply spoke to him like he was a baby, Steve said he didn't have any tricks for him but maybe one day he would show Jeff his shield. Sam asked Jeff if he wanted to pet Redwing which he happily did.
Even now Tony has been playing tricks with him, making a coin disappear then reappear from behind Jeff's ear. He had to borrow a coin from someone first, it would have been more surprising if Tony had any small change on his person to begin with.
Next is Bruce who tells Jeff there is someone else he should meet then transforms into the Hulk. Jeff looks at the green giant in wonder then puts his arms up to be picked up so he can be the tallest in the room. When Hulk sees Jeff he crouches down so he is eye level with Jeff, sniffing and surveying him. He chuckles, calls Jeff 'a puny baby' then picks him up and places the landshark on his head.
Shortly after everyone takes their leave. Clint is on his way home to his family, Natasha goes to train with Bucky following behind her. A Hulk-less Bruce returns to the lab with Tony. Steve, Sam and Carol are discussing a mission they are assigned to lead and Peter says he has some homework he needs to finish.
"What a day huh Jeff?" You breathe out, exhausted. Jeff looks at you like a small child while trotting around, jumping on the couches and back onto the floor excited about all the new friends he has made.
"I think Jeff is going to be just fine here," Wanda says to you as you both watch him, side by side.
"Hello good people of Earth!" You hear a familiar loud voice sound from the entrance disturbing your peace. And when he makes it in front of you, he is his usual happy self.
"Hi Thor... What are you doing here?" You ask, confused.
"I'm here for the meeting, of course," Thor says in his cheery voice.
"I didn't know you were on the mailing list," you say a little tiredly trying to think back to the email you sent out.
"I didn't know he knew how to check his email," you hear Wanda's side comment next to you.
"Well, I am the strongest Avenger after all," Thor boasts, "I should be here for all the little talks and what nots."
"Right," you say a little unsurely. "Err, the meeting is over now but it was to introduce a new resident to the compound."
You see him spot Jeff who peeks his head over the backrest between you and Wanda. He is looking at Thor in awe with his mouth agape much like he did when he saw Hulk.
As he climbs over the back rest you stand and Jeff stands next to you in front of Thor his head tilting back as he trails his eyes upwards from the hammer Thor is holding to his face.
"This is Jeff," Wanda says.
"Jeff the landshark," you add.
Thor has seen plenty of creatures in his lifetime so it's no surprise he doesn't react in a negative way. "Oh, how wonderful! Welcome to the team, little landshark!" Thor's voice booms excitedly.
You don't get a chance to tell Thor that Jeff is not a part of the team, only that he is staying with you in the compound because, before you know it, he lifts Jeff onto his shoulder and walks away with him.
Sighing heavily you place your hands on your hips when you hear Thor talking about a battle, going into excruciating details about how he killed a group of enemies. You are a little wary of how Jeff is going to respond to the gory details of war.
Wanda stands and moves behind you. She wraps her arms around your waist, kissing your shoulder. "He-" Wanda was about to say something but is cut off short when you both hear an excited squeal from Jeff in the distance so she rests her chin and giggles against you instead.
"I was going to say he's going to love whatever story Thor brings up, but that's kind of obvious now," she says, smiling into your shoulder.
You sigh again, "I know. But now he's going to want us to talk about all the fights we've endured and I don't think it's good for him."
Next, you hear some scuffling making you cringe because it sounds as though some equipment has fallen and crashed to the ground. Not long later you hear the sound of fast little footsteps making their way in your direction.
Then you hear Thor shout, "JEFF! GIVE THAT BACK."
Well this can't be good.
Before you can move from your spot Jeff runs past you with Mjolnir clutched in his mouth. Wanda has stepped beside you and when you glance at each other you see she holds the same shocked expression as you.
You both then turn to see Jeff's figure running out of the entrance doors. Wanda is clearly amused but you speak aloud the question on your mind, "How is he worthy and I'm not?" You ask, insulted.
Wanda wraps her arms around your neck, her fingers playing with your hair, "It's okay honey, you don't need a hammer telling you anything I don't already know."
She is leaning in to kiss you but a new voice enters your ears.
"Sestra! Come look! There's a dog in a shark costume out here!" Pietro exclaims, "And he's holding a fake hammer too!"
It is official.
Jeff has met the whole team.

copycat — lo'ak sully
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: lo'ak x reader (platonic)
tags: fluff, lo'ak is a cat, minor violence, almost animal attack, cat, lo'ak is a cat!
wc: 1,8k
summary: where lo'ak meets the reader's cute best friend and finds out they're more alike than he imagined at first.
You and Kiri found Lulu when you were both running around in the lab like the eleven years old kids you were. All it took was one usually locked door to be open for the two of you to get into a place you definitely should not.
The room was full of animals, mostly white rats and hamsters in cages, but you saw it in the corner of your eye, a cat with at least four kittens around her. You immediately ran to their direction, so excited to finally see an earth animal in real life.
“Look Kiri, it's a kitty!” you patted one of the babies’ heads, and heard them meowing. “They're so cute, oh my god.”
“What is it called?” Kiri asked, being curious as always. She immediately loved the tiny unknown animals, and quickly noticed how they lacked a queue to perform tsaheylu. “How are you supposed to make the bond with it?” her head hung to the side, brows furrowed and lips pressed together.
“This is a cat, and these are her kittens”, you said pointing first to the mom and then to her pups. “You don't perform tsaheylu like that,” while eyeing the entire litter, your gaze focused a little too long on the smallest kitten, her fur black with big yellow eyes “they bond with time. You need to give it lots of love, and food too, for a long time. It's just natural.”
Quickly you took the black kitty into your arms, and she was quick to cuddle to your embrace, earning a small giggle from you.
“What should we name her?” you asked, eyes glimmering as you looked to Kiri.
“Her? It's a girl?” you nodded, and kiri looked around the room, like searching for inspiration. “What about Lulu? She’s all black, like a palulukan”
“My baby, Lulu”
5 YEARS LATER
It was finally time for you to go outside with Spider, being only a few weeks since you left with him, but you were so excited to leave it almost seemed like they were keeping you hostage in your own home. The two humans quickly got a breathing mask each before taking off to the forest.
“Hey, wait up!” You screamed as Spider was quick to build a distance between the two of you. After hearing your request, he slowed his pace. While the human boy got all the strong and fast genes, you got the brains, it was nice and all, but not so useful when you're both hurrying up to the village.
“You're so slow, you're like a baby!” He mocked and rolled his eyes, but he couldn't hide the smile when he held your hand to help you. “My lovely baby sister”, he teased.
“By five minutes”, now it was your time to roll your eyes.
When you both finally reached the village, Kiri and Tuk were already waiting for you in front of their family’s tent, big smiles when their eyes finally met the two smaller figures.
“Hey guys”, you said while Tuk raced to give you a hug. Even though she was only seven, she was already the same height as you, if not taller. “Hi Tuk, how is my favorite girl doing?”
You and your twin brother spent the entire afternoon at the village, he was somewhere with Lo’ak while you spent your time with the sully girls. When you noticed that eclipse was right around the corner you both prepared to go home, not wanting to venture around in the dark when you weren't so familiar with the forest.
“Hey, can I come with you?” Kiri asked, “I want to visit my mom”
“Yes, sure” Spider replied instantly, “but should you go back alone? Maybe ask Neteyam to come with you”
She nodded and went inside her family tent, when she stepped back outside she had her younger brother glued to her side.
“Hey bro! I thought you had flying training to do now?” Spider questioned.
“Yeah, I got grounded so no flying for a week” he shrugged and rolled his eyes to the side, noticing you. “Oh, hi y/n. Sorry, I didn't see you”
“It's okay, don't worry” you said and gave him a wink with a tiny smile.
All four of you left high camp on your way back home just as daylight started fading, still bright enough for you to go without any problems, or so you thought.
A single viper wolf cut your way, suddenly appearing to your side, snarling loudly with its threatening fangs exposed.
“Spider!” you yelled before being tackled to the ground by your brother, the animal flying right above the two of you. As much as you liked the forest and the Na’vi, you weren't very used to it, being a lot more comfortable in your room with your books, old movies from earth and your best friend Lulu. When you watched the dirt under your shaking hands you remembered why the thought of leaving home wasn't as pleasant to you as it was to your twin.
You kept your head low and closed your eyes when you heard some fuss around you, only getting up and opening your eyes when Kiri’s prayers to Eywa reached your ears. You saw Lo’ak putting his knife away and staring at the animal on the floor, next to Kiri who had her hand on the animals’ chest.
“Are you ok?” His eyes traced you, looking for injuries, only finding a few scratches from your fall.
“Yes,” you took a deep breath, still shocked about what had happened. “Thank you. I'm sorry, I was making too much noise”.
“It's ok, you aren't as used to the forest like us” Spider said, finally getting to his feet. “I'm glad the mighty warrior Lo’ak was here to save you!” he mocked, laughter escaping everyone’s throat, except for the subject of said joke.
He hissed –or tried to– at your brother, but all that came out was a broken sound that eventually ended in your friend coffing and the rest of you laughing even louder this time.
“Dude, you gotta work on your hiss,” Spider tapped his shoulder while giggling, the group was walking again, the two boys behind you this time, so you couldn't see them anymore but you still heard the annoyed sounds coming out of Lo’ak’s mouth. “that one sounded almost like Lulu”.
“What's Lulu?” he asked and your brows furrowed, confusion clearly running on your face.
“You haven't met Lulu?” Kiri asked as she looked to her brother, her eyes meeting his shaking head in disagreement. “It's her cat”
“Cat? Like the ones from earth?” his ears picked up in excitement. Lo’ak, just like Kiri, was very curious about earth things, probably because of their parents and the stories Jake must've told them. “How did I not know you had a pet?”
“She is not a pet! She is family!” you argued, almost yelling as you were now almost entering the lab base. “She never gets out of my room, and most of the time we talk you're the one responsible for all of the, you know, talking.” you shrugged, realizing how you didn't tell Lo’ak much about you, despite considering him your friend. “You'll meet her tonight”.
As the four of you walked inside the base, you were immediately welcomed by Max who was operating the linking pods, and soon after Norm came out of one of the spots.
“Hey kids!” Max greeted first, watching as you took off your mask and boots, leaving them near the small cabinet you settled for you and your brother. “Did you have fun?”
“Y/n was almost eaten by a viper-wolf” Spider spit out like the words didn't almost make Max pass out. “But Lo’ak saved her.” he laughed at Max’s scared reaction.
“Enough,” you said, annoyed that this was being brought up, knowing how worried everyone would be, and that maybe you wouldn't be allowed outside any time soon. “let's go meet Lulu already!”
You lead the way throughout the hallways to your own room, this was unexplored territory for Lo’ak, who was only familiar with the main room where Grace’s avatar and the other linking pods stayed. After a few turns, you reached a locked door that required a password to be open, you quickly typed in the numbers and opened the door, letting your friends and brother enter first.
“Mi casa es su casa!” you said and quickly three pair of confused eyes were staring at you. “Forget it, just get in”.
You closed the door behind you when everyone was inside, the Sully kids crouching as they were almost taller than the ceiling. Kiri, being more used to your room, was quick to take a spot on your bed, and Lo’ak was about to do the same before you yelled at him not to.
“It's not strong enough for the two of you, please don't.” He sighed before sitting on the floor, legs crossed in front of his body and arms on top of his knees.
After everyone was settled, you started looking around your room for your small partner, finally spotting her under your bed, right behind Lo’ak, eyes glued to the boy’s back. When you reached for her and got her out of there, a loud hiss came out of her as she bared her teeth to the Na’vi boy.
He immediately hissed back, staring at the small animal in your arms, and he noticed she was way smaller than he imagined it would be, that's when it hit him that he was being ridiculous for hissing at such an inoffensive animal.
“Sorry buddy!” he tried reaching the pet with his fingers, but once again another hiss reached his ears. “Easy, boy!”
“Lulu is female” you replied, trying to contain the laughter that wanted to escape your lips. This interaction was just too cute.
Lo’ak was no longer sited, but on his knees, one hand holding his weight as he reached forwards, trying to touch Lulu again, his tail swiping excitedly around him. “Easy, girl” he said again, voice low and calm, really trying to soothe the small black ball of fur you called a cat. He tried to reach for her head once again, and when he finally touched her soft fluff, she meowed and gave him a strong bite.
It wasn't enough to hurt him, but it was enough to scare the both of you, making you loosen your grip and letting her leave your arms. He pulled his hand back and stayed in the same position, staring as his new friend went back to her hiding spot, eyes glued to the blue figure in front of her.
“Dude, they are the same, look!” Spider said, noticing how both of them stared at each other with curiosity, tail moving franctly, yellow amber eyes linked as if a thread was connecting the two of them.

literally share the headcanons! dont tease!
HAHAHAHAH but i love teasing!! cant help it!!! okay well the ones im thinking of the most right now are about the characters and the kind of pets they have, animals they like, etc.
Also this ended up super long so.
trigger warning for animal/pet death. O_O
Alex loves all kinds of animals. He thinks they're all really cool and cute and sweet, rodents, dogs cats, reptiles. Mostly, I think he is definitely a cat person, but he also loves dogs. He had Rocky of course, and I don't really have a set breed for her, she's probably just a really mixed up mutt lol. Medium sized somewhat patterned brown dog with big ol sweet puppy eyes. I think during the summer of marble hornets, Rocky ... "ran away".. Alex doesn't know what happened to his sweet puppy, but he's just glad she wasn't one of the animals that turned up dead in his front yard. After he lost Rocky, he really didn't think he would ever have another pet. But because I love my little revival/nobody dies au's, I think as he's slowly recovering alongside the others, he starts getting really into the idea of owning a ferret. He probably saw some cute video of one, and it kinda became a little hyper-fixation since he had no hobbies or interests anymore. He still likes movies, but he doesn't ever want to make one again. He likes writing scripts, but would die before filming anything for it. He has nothing else he likes to do anymore, so he just gets really into ferrets. Ferrets are big thing to take care of, but Alex is very confident he can do it. So he gets one. And I think he is really successful at caring for it. He really loves that thing. And he takes the stupidest little up close pictures of its face. I think he would get the chocolate coloration, or maybe a sable mitt. I also think he would really enjoy owning cats. In the many little au's I have, he's owned several, but in a high school AU, I have him owning two little cats, a tabby boy named Neo and a black kitten girl named Trinity, after the Matrix characters lol. I don't think he ever gets a dog for himself aside from Rocky, though.
Tim also likes animals, but has never really had a pet of his own. When he was a kid, he had a hamster, but killed it during a Masky episode. His parents tried letting him have a dog, but again, during those Masky episodes he would just get too violent with it, and they had to give it away. I think, on that note, about his Masky episodes- when he was an unmedicated kid going in and out of psychiatric hospitals all the time, they would happen when he felt scared or threatened. Which is why later in life, when Alex Kralie attempts to kill him in college, thats the trigger for Masky coming back. I think there was probably a long period of time before that where he had grown out of Masky, and the episodes would have stopped. So, Tim has this sort of idealized dream where he really does want a dog, or honestly any kind of pet, but has told himself he's not allowed to have one. I think at some point, in that same recovery au, he ends up getting a seizure alerting/PTSD and anxiety service dog. I think it's a saint bernhard and german shepherd mix, one of those massive strong saint shepherds. It would be big and strong enough to give Tim good pressure during seizures and not be hurt, and it would actually pose enough of a threat to Masky that he wouldn't be able to hurt it. Just a big sweet gentle giant that adored Tim and isn't scared of Masky. Masky would manage to get past his scary little pet killer instincts and would be obsessed with this dog.
I don't really have anything to say about Jay or Brian, BUT I do have a lot to say about mr side background character Seth Wilson. Hes so real to me.
So much of this is based off of @drowsybugs portrayel of him in our shared AU's lol, but basically I feel like Seth has really severe asthma, and so he's got a service dog for that. And Seth isn't exactly very good at naming things, so his dog (you brought your dog) is just named. Seth Jr. Seth Jr is a sweet little chocolate lab, just adorable and so friendly. I adore this puppy. I love him.
But yes. This is what lives in my brain ty for asking

A complete list of pets my family has had.
A black cat with no name. I was three so either she didn't have a name or I forgot it.
Dennis (AKA menace)- A hamster who decided his three-story cage wasn't big enough and that people were the enemy. Almost daily he would escape his cage and instead live in my ANTIQUE wooden doll house. If you tried to remove him, he would remove your fingers.
Purdy - A King Charles terrier who was very pretty. However, do not go near her mouth. Even with food. It is a death sentence. She lived to thirteen and even while deaf and blind she could tell if you were approaching her pearly whites.
Two Springer Spaniels - Jasper Casper and Jim Diamond. Jasper used to run full force into kitchen cabinets chasing shadows. He somehow made it to thirteen. Jim is still going strong.
Charlie - an obese chihuahua (maybe, we're not sure if he was even a dog).
Betty - a little black chihuahua who managed to get pregnant by Finnley (coming up later) when he was 9 MONTHS OLD.
Declan - a racehorse who is too shy to race.
Darby - a chestnut pony who we bought for casual hacking, however, at the slightest sign of freedom he would bolt (with you on him).
Peanut - a shetland/fallabella pony who broke two of my toes.
Woody & Buzz - two guinea pigs who managed to hide so well in their cage that we routinely thought they had escaped (Buzz was later renamed to Fat Nugget).
Jinx - a demon of a cat who asks for attention and then attacks you for the fact she had to ask.
Rosie and Ronnie - cats! Ronnie got run over the same day we let him outside. Rose is still kicking at 14 but habitually brings mice HEADS to our front door.
Colin - a cockatiel whose only talents are wolf-whistling and sitting on Rosie to test her animal instincts.
Kia - a thoroughbred racehorse.
Sooty - a black feral kitten brought home to us by Jim. In his mouth. Completely unharmed. We think he found her in a field?
Shiela - another cockatiel who we got as a friend for Colin. Her only talent is screeching at the top of her lungs when you're trying to relax.
Alfie - an orphaned lamb. He needed to be bottle fed, however, he would headbutt the groin of anyone who tried to do it. He, in fact, chased my stepfather around the orchard trying to get at his groin.
Mario - a tea-cup cockriel who managed to drown in a kiddie pool we had set up for the ducks (the pool was maybe 30cm deep).
Maggie - a duck who got kidnapped.
Shelly & Lucy - sheep who would run away if you tried to interact with them.
Chickens - too many to name but a few notable ones were; sonic (ran everywhere) and Molly (named after my sister because she strut around like she owned the place).
Finnley - a chihuahua who looks and acts more like the illegitimate son of satan himself than a dog.
Boris - son of Betty and Finnley who was born with an underbite, floppy ears that never stood up, and only one testicle.
Edgar - son of Betty and Finnley who lived each day like he wanted it to be his last.
Elvis - the final son of Betty and Finnley who begs to be picked up and then growls like he never wanted it in the first place.
Lucy - an ex-racehorse who, when in jumping competitions, decides she's not done when the course says so, and bolts.
There might have been a few I missed but that's all for now folks.

adopting a pet for rowaelin!
Thanks for the prompt. I actually wrote this on my lunch break today. I noticed the ask and I already knew what to write.
800 words and a lot of fluff.
Dogs and Hawks
Tumblr media
It was a Saturday morning and instead of enjoying being off work Rowan had been dragged by his wife to a pet shelter. He had tried to protest but soon realised that winning a fight against a six months pregnant woman was hopeless, so he caved. 
And now here they were, at the entrance of the building, Aelin beaming with excitement.
The type of pet they agreed upon adopting had been another sore point. Aelin wanted a dog, Rowan wanted peace.
“Your daughter and I want a puppy to cuddle” she had told him while stroking her swollen belly.
Yes, she had quickly discovered that if she used the excuse that their daughter wanted something too, Rowan could not resist. He was a simp for his wife and their unborn daughter. His sneaky wife  knew that he’d do anything for his two girls.
A deep sigh left him “we can have a hamster or a rabbit”
Aelin poured “you can’t play with them.”
“Sure you can, fireheart”
His wife placed her hands on her hips ready to give him a row “Rowan Whitethorn-Galathynius stop being a cry baby. How am I supposed to go for a walk with a rabbit?”
“On a leash?” He replied deadpanned.
Aelin grumbled something and started marching to the entrance. As they got in the sounds of animal was almost overwhelming.
“Ohhhh look at all these poor dogs, I wish I could take you all home.” Aelin petted the head of a dark puppy and the animal licked her hand and she squealed.
Rowan followed behind, crouched near a cage and looked the dog in the eyes “ I prefer cats” then with a smug face stood and strutted away, joining his wife once more. 
Hand in hand they started walking but Aelin was so excited and stopped at every single cage to play and pet the dogs.
Half an hour later she still hadn’t decided. Not too shaggy, not too big, not too small, just like Goldilocks porridge, it had to be perfect. So Rowan endured. He offered opinions but Aelin had her own ideas. Eventually a staff member joined them.
“Can I help you?”
“Yes, I want to adopt a dog but I can’t decide.”
“Do you have any ideas?”
The two women started talking and Rowan just stood and held Aelin’s bag, completely forgotten.
“Do you have hawks?” He asked with a straight face.
The two women slowly turned their heads toward him. Aelin glared. The assistant just looked at him as if he was mad
“Excuse me?”
Rowan huffed a puff “hawks, they fly, they are quite majestic.” He even waved his arms to imitate the flying.
“Uhm, no sir, we don’t sell hawks.”
Rowan tsked disappointed “discrimination towards birds of prey?”
Aelin laughed nervously “you need to excuse my husband. He gets cranky if he misses his coffee.”
A loud snort left Rowan but the two women went back ignoring him.
An hour later they reached a section with puppies. Aelin had asked to see all the dogs and the shelter assistant had been super happy to indulge. 
Rowan was not prepared for the loud squeal from his wife. She was standing in front of a cage with a tiny Labrador with a light brown fur. Rowan admitted that the small animal was somehow cute. 
“This is Fleetfoot. Her mum died and was found by a couple who brought her in. She is not even one.”
Aelin started sobbing “sorry, hormones,”
Rowan passed her a tissues “we can give her a home, fireheart.”
The smile that his wife gave him was the most amazing thing he could ask for.
The assistant opened the cage and grabbed the puppy to pass her to Aelin. As soon as it was in her arms it licked her face and Aelin laughed in delight.
Rowan smiled fondly and watched Aelin play with the animal. 
“Oh, you are the cutest thing ever,” she kissed the dogs head and the animal kept licking her face in happiness “Are we going to make your grumpy dad smile?
“You can stay here, I will just go and grab the adoption papers.”
Aelin moved closer to Rowan and he made an effort to pat the puppy “I still think that not having hawks is discrimination.”
“Fine big boy, on the way home we can stop at the toy shop and get you a stuffed one.”
“Hm.”
Aelin ignored his antics “See? Our daughter likes it already, she is kicking hard,” her hand brushed her belly and in that instant Rowan smiled.
“Little traitor.”
The assistant eventually came back with all the papers and Aelin dragged Rowan to the pet shop next door to buy all they needed for their new friend.
It was a few hours later when they got back Aelin with Fleetfoot and Rowan with the stuffed white-tailed hawk.

⛈️ THE VALIANT STORM ⛈️
Thank you for teaching me strength and perseverance. Animals deal with pain better than most humans do.
Soar high, valiant Storm. You're a fighter from life till death and forevermore 💖
This comic is a tribute to my past Dwarf hamster Storm, who passed over the Rainbow Bridge on 2 May 2020 🌈 Storm was running at full speed on his wheel the morning he passed. I found him motionless in the evening, still warm, and it seemed as though he waited for me to see him before taking his final breath 🥺
His favourite snacks were dried mealworms, which he devoured. I considered him an intelligent hamster, excellent at burrowing, making nests and self toilet-trained. He also had powerful jaw strength, somehow chewing off the edges of a metal plate that was meant for him to cool off (he never used it!) that I eventually removed for his safety.
Storm had a cat-like personality, loved taking naps and only permitted affection on his terms or he'd lash at you. He'd tolerate being held, but the best times to pet him were when he was occupied with food. A nasty habit he had was rolling in his own pee and out of curiosity I found out that urine apparently has hair smoothing properties... was that why his fur was SUPER soft yet he stank like a skunk?? 😭
The blue-grey hamster in the comic is Storm's brother Cloud, who passed away three months before Storm did in February 2020. I referred to them as the StormCloud duo and while they were separated since hamsters are solitary, they're reunited again in the afterlife 💖 I also drew a comic for Cloud earlier in 2021 (also on Tumblr somewhere).
Storm passed from old age, although he also had a few tumours which we were told to monitor. Tumours are unfortunately common in hamsters, and surgery is risky due to their size. I spent my birthday in Covid lockdown with Storm, and two months later he left this world. I was already heartbroken when Cloud passed and losing Storm soon after took me a while to heal.
I still think of them and hope they're doing well ❤️

On this crisp morning (or whatever time Linhardt sees fit to exit her room for the first time in the day), a small brown paper package blocks the door of the Hevring heir's dorm room, nestled in close to protect it from the elements and from passerby alike.
Inside, cushioned by shredded paper, a copper candle holder gleams with a polish strong enough to nearly function as a mirror. Around it curls an awkwardly proportioned plush cat: an elongated forest green body with stubby limbs and thick, visible stitches holding it all together. It rests with closed eyes made of two long lines of embroidery thread. Atop both of them rests a handwritten note:
Happy Birthday Linhardt!
Your first gift was letting you sleep in as long as you want today. You're welcome. (A face is drawn next to this text, sticking its tongue out at the reader.)
I know you'll never stop staying up all night reading stuff, so this candle holder is supposed to help you strain your eyes less in the dark! Handling glasses seem like it'd be a real hassle with all the places you like to take impromptu naps, so you should try to take care of your eyesight a little, y'know?
I don't know any laws about sleepy, stubborn cats owning not being allowed to own another cat, so the last gift is just a napping buddy for you.
Eyes flutter open unusually late—though, Linhardt doesn’t realize this at first. Rather, they presume the hour to be the same as usual—reasonable, though lacking in recognition. With a slightly lesser degree of tiredness, they sit up in bed, and with a sharper mental acuity than normal, they get up and get dressed.
It is when she arrives at the door, however, that things finally start to click into place. (It is not an immediate process by any means, but now she was thinking about things—not just mindlessly going through the motions.) There is a weight behind the door that she did not expect, and upon inspection: a package. (They couldn’t imagine what for, but might as well open it.)
And so Lin reenters his room, setting down the package on his desk and then opening it. First paper, then the container, then the cushioning and a note—
Oh right. My birthday.
—and that is all that is necessary for the boy to know the source. (Well, he also signed it at the very end, but you know how it is with recognizing your best friend’s handwriting—it’s far more immediate than that, so really, why wait?)
“Hmph,” mage smirks, already endeared by the words of it alone. (There’s also an audible laugh when they see the face Caspar had drawn mid-note.) Though the other boy had the tendency to be… politely put, a bit of a fool, it was evident, the heart put into the gift they’d received—and the wisdom, they would admit. (They had actually intended to get a candlestick for themself in town soon eventually at some point.) Caspar had also gotten them a nice one. They’d have to thank him later.
Or perhaps now, she considers, eyes now paying keen attention to the cat plush. Her mind is immediately drawn back to the hamster she’d made him (that was certainly not a coincidence), and here, she laughs again—louder, full smile.
“Well, Caspar,” he muses aloud, “I’m glad to know you like it so much.” And with that resolve, cat is taken from its perch (the candlestick set upright on his desk), and Linhardt exits, navigating his way to…
…What time is it again?
Ah well. Finding Caspar wouldn’t be too much issue really anyway; classes could wait.

🎈 🎉 🥳 🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈
🌲 tree - 4'11 (I know im short lol), brown wavy hair and eyes ) Got a few tattoos. Anxious, caring, friendly, clumsy (I bruise easily lol) and chatty. Bit of a bohemian love vintage and retro. Love history and reading. Animal lover.
My fandoms are
Moonknight
Marvel
Star wars
Harry Potter
Thank you! Firstly I ship you with Marc! 💙
He likes hearing you talk of history whether with Steven or by yourself but the way you were passionate about it made his heart swell
He grew fascinated with the retro cameras you collected over the years as well as every vintage item you had and started collecting his own items
He liked how much shorter you were than him always making a joke when he would get the chance but also that he would bend down to kiss you always smiling at how tiny you looked standing under him
Despite not being a big reader himself he loved to hear you read no matter what it was or how long he always felt safe hearing you calmly read even helping him sleep whenever he couldn't
He also has a secret love for all your tattoos and every time you're asleep he just runs his fingers across each and every line on all of them then kisses them after
He wasn't a big animal person like you but he liked them well and soon he became a big one after the two of you adopted a yellow labrador retriever named Reggie who was a wonderful dog
He always had the thought in the back of the mind about your future together getting married and having a family despite how much he felt that he didn't deserve it but you reminded him that he was only human and deserved to be happy
Secondly I ship you with Clint Barton! 💜
He always had a weird found love of tattoos and the first time he saw each of your tattoos he just became mush on the ground and after being together for a couple of years the two of you would go and get matching ones together
He loved how passionate about animals you were even when you were younger always having a pet to take care of from dogs,cats,and hamsters to birds,guinea pigs,and rabbits then a couple of months after being together the two of you first got a black cat you named Blueberry and later on a german shepherd and husky mix you named Rex
He loved whenever you would dress in any of the vintage dresses and outfits you have collected some you've gotten from your grandmother from the 70's that made you look like you just walked out of a picture making him wonder how he was the one to have you with him
He never liked reading or the quiet but somehow you would have him read with you whenever you couldn't find anything else to do or just didn't go out anywhere and he grew it enjoy the quiet moments reading a book with you
He always makes a joke about how short you are even when you stare daggers into his soul for it every time
He is always taking pictures of you with one of the many cameras from a polaroid,canon AE-1, to a kodak,or finetta 88 always managing to get the best pictures of you smiling,sleeping,dancing,cooking,or kissing him
He would always stop what he was doing when you need to talk,be held,or do something to calm down when you're anxious about something no matter what it was or what you wanted to do or how long it took he would always do it to see you smile or be better again
He always listened to you ramble and talk about so many things in history from Egyptian rule,the Roman empire,The Aztec ruins in Mexico,or even big points in the world's history from Japan's occupation of Korea,the 2004 Indian ocean earthquake and tsunami,the 1989 earthquake that destroyed the bay bridge,or Hurricane Katrina
Third time is a charm I ship you with Luke Skywalker! 💚
He loved seeing you wear the old Jedi clothes and sing the old music that were sung by many different jedi including his father and Ben Kenobi years before either of you were born
He always stayed with you when you were anxious always taking you to the calmest places where all you could hear was the wind blowing through the trees and just walk in the lake feeling the water run by and see the animals in the woods from afar
He loved hearing you tell stories of the history of a lot of the planets and the history of the people of your home planet even stories of the Jedi and Sith he never heard before
He always smiled seeing you with animals from an ewok,bantha,and loth cat to a wookie,tauntaun,and dokma no matter where the two of you traveled to he would always see you holding and playing with some kind of animal native to the planet
He would always have his students talk to you,play with them,and have food with them when you were depressed and lonely knowing how much all of his students loved and adored you a lot of them seeing you as a mom to them which warmed your heart when they each told you on separate occasions
He never really makes fun of or teases you for being short but he does find it cute at the height difference between the two of you
He knew quite a few people who had tattoos but he never knew that they could be so beautiful and when he saw yours he just started and gently touched all of them while you smiled at his childlike curiosity of the art embedded in your body
And finally I ship you with Cedric Diggory! 💛
He always takes you to a small flower patch near a field miles away from Hogwarts and puts flowers in your hair when you feel depressed
He always finds your love for animals endearing and absolutely heart touching that you treated them exactly like you did humans no matter what
He was shocked at your tattoos but soon always kissed them and traced them when you showered together even getting matching ones for your anniversary of hummingbirds
When you were anxious he would hum piano music to you until you felt safe just laying in his arms with your head on his chest and head tucked under his chin rubbing your back
He always enjoys the fact that you were short that he could just look down and see you next to him holding on to his sleeve with your fingers and your head on his forearm
Whenever you talk about the history of Hogwarts,the houses,or your family he would just watch you for the whole time you talked about whatever it was that you'd ramble about

High Enough
A/N: Sequel to Angel Of The Mornin. I hope you like it as much as I did writing this.
Modern AU / Prequel / Chapter Two
Pairing- Thomas Shelby x Morgan Solace
Chapter One
Today, I'm going on date with an incredibly good-looking man that stopped and made the time to talk to me. I started freaking on the inside, then procedurally on the outside as well.
"What if he turns around and says he hates me?", I started pacing around the house, "What if I sound boring, like incredibly boring to the point of no return kind of boring?"
"I'm sure you'll be fine," She said to me as she continued to bug my cat, "Besides, you're like basically an artist and doctor combo. What's not to love about you?"
"A lot of things, my accent right down to my red hair and my extensive library that's currently under renovation," I huffed, my hands shaking and my insides twisting into a knot.
"He had to postpone it like several times remember? What if found out that I didn't tell him like hey I made all those artworks at that auction,"
"Now you just sound rather paranoid, I doubt he thought about of that at all and has his own personal reasons for taking several rainchecks,"
"Or he's actually married with four kids and just decided to get cold feet,"
"Weirdly specific, but reiterate you have nothing to worry about and I know for a fact. We've been friends for years and I'm thankful for that. but for fucks sake, stop pacing around like a hamster in a wheel."
"You have more dating experience than I have, you'd be-"
"Stop. Stop right there, you asked him out, I didn't and I know for a fact that you never dated someone because you told me while you were drunk once."
I started fidgeting as my friend helped me do my hair in a bun leaving the fringe out to fidget with. I didn't know what was too much or too little, as I only ever dated one guy back in high school and that didn't end as pleasantly as I would have wanted it to.
"He'll love you as much as I think he does, if not more so than that. So do us both a favour and relax, take a deep breath. You'll be fine, it's a date, not a job interview, dumbass."
"I hope you picked the right type of vibe when it comes to outfits Linda, I don't want to come off as bold as you do. I don't have the personality to match it," I yelled out while laughing nervously.
After getting dressed into the outfit my cousin Linda picked out. I hoped it was enough for something like the first date. Still did nothing for the nerves that are currently screaming and crying right now. But it certainly helped.
"I think it'll be cooler if you took the bike this time," Linda suggested, "I'll keep an eye on Mr Midnight." She added as I left to on a date with Thomas Shelby. I put on my helmet and grabbed the spare one.
"I certainly hope you don't find this god awful or weird. I hope you don't even think about this part afterwards." I thought to myself on the way to get pick him up for the date.
"Hey, I'm outside and whenever you're ready let me know," I sent to him as I parked the motorcycle somewhere.
"I'll be a little late, sorry, will be there as soon as possible" I read the text, thinking "This is actually happening, holy lord and the four horsemen of hell, it's actually happening."
After a few moments later, moments being possibly five to ten minutes later and he walked out, "Hi, How are you this mornin?" I asked,
"I'm alright, are you doin alright though? You look nervous,"
"Honestly? Not really, no. Pretty nervous actually, still nervous too," I started fidgeting, "I had a weird idea that I'd pick you up with this lovely thing here and go to a lovely coffee shop that I think you'd like,"
"Sounds like you've planned it out," He replied sighing a little, "I'm sorry we didn't do this sooner, a lot of stuff-"
"came up, I understand. It's fine, don't worry about it," I understood why, but it didn't stop me from worrying about the fact that I thought he hated me.
"Thanks for understanding,"
"You're welcome,"
We headed off to the coffee shop on my bike, it certainly made this better than I thought it would be and my nerves slowly melted away. Things didn't seem so scary, this date didn't go as awfully bad as I worried it would be. I showed him several pictures of my cat as the date started.
"I got him last year, I think. When I did get him, the previous owner said a lot of the people living near him tried to hurt the cat because they immediately go "Black cat, kill it,"
"What's his name?"
"Mr Midnight, he only answers to that and ignores you if you try getting his attention any other way."
I heard him laugh at that, I smirked a little saying "I know I should have said this a while ago. I made those artworks at the auction, which I also organised mostly and as much as I wanted to tell you at the time, I didn't think you'd want to hear it,"
I felt relieved, "That's what got you nervous a little while ago?"
"Yeah, mostly that and among other things. But yeah mostly just that,"

Today has been a little easier so far. The weather is cloudy but I feel a little cozier this way. I'm trying to decide whether or not to write the backstory to everything I write about on this blog or not. I guess I will just tell you some basics so my other writings make sense.
I am twice married, first marriage ended in divorce about six years ago. I was really young when I got married the first time, eighteen years old. My parents absolutely hated the fact that I got married to my ex-husband. Some reasons are understandable, some not so much, in my opinion. It was a pretty difficult time for me, as I was really close to my family before that. I have one child from my first marriage, she's eight years old, incredibly energetic, smart and cute. She means everything to mean. And I don't mean that like most parents do, she really is my everything. She lives with me and my now-husband full time.
My husband and I got married four years ago after dating for about a year. He's a nerd, but a cute one who really loves my, now, "our" daughter. He treats her like she's his own, something that I think every, "step" child deserves.
We moved overseas from the U.S. the second year into our marriage. We really love where we live now, and we feel that it's much safer for us and our daughter. We don't worry about her being in danger going to school, and the people are so kind here. I learned the language after moving here. I'm still learning, but I'd say I can speak seventy-five percent of the language now. Adapting to living here has been a huge challenge but honestly, one of the greatest blessings in my life.
I have 2 dogs (one indoor, one outdoor), 3 cats all under one year old right now, one bird and two hamsters (in my daughter's room because of the cats). Needless to say, we LOVE animals. In the U.S. we only had one dog, but we really came to know our love for animals after we moved. They really fill our hearts with joy and purpose.
I adore art. Music is my first love, interior design is my second and fashion design is my third. My one regret is that I didn't get to put my heart into my music more.
...until later. <3

Gale Reviews: ML SEASON 4: Episode 15 Glaciator 2.0
Spoilers below
-Ah, that guy is CLEARLY reading an art magazine (As there are two pieces of art on it)
-People they are saving are complimenting them. Chat noir is confused but Ladybug is just annoyed.
-They are fighting Glaciator. So what happened?
-OH MY GOSH ITS EVERYWHERE. All the ads that once had Adrien now have Ladynoir. (Paris has never looked so beautiful.) LOL
-They stopped fighting to argue with the akuma about their love lives. AMAZING
-Chat noir you kind of deserved being thrown in the trash for that one. You got the first one in for free, but she told you now wasn’t the time for it.
-Did… DID SHE JUST BEAT HIM OFF SCREEN?! Damn, that is a record
-Okay, picking up the trashcan and throwing it on the roof with your partner in it WAS a bit harsh Ladybug. I get you are annoyed but still. A bit harsh.
-Chat noir tried to make light of the situation and Ladybug it NOT having it. But he did apologize for pushing the story too much. So good. That is important to show he acknowledges that.
-I am proud of Chat noir here, he acknowledges that Ladybug doesn’t feel the same way and isn’t putting the pressure on her to accept.
-So Chat noir says he will try and stop. Though even he acknowledges that it will be hard. Ooof. That hurts. But He is trying for her sake.
-Oh damn he deleted the ladybug pics! BOY IS SERIOUS
-Marinette is now making alya do the same.
-Alya protests but gives in.
-Adrien is heartbroken, and Kagami notices he is getting his but kicked by someone not her. CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG
-Kagami trying to cheer up her ex but it aint gonna work
-Oh damn Adrien is really sad… and the sad version of the theme… F*** (On another note, could he have just told G to stop the car at anytime ever?)
-OH S*** HE IS CRYING AND SHADOWMOTH SENSES IT!
-Shadowmoth senses his sons disappointment and stops being evil to actually be a parent?! Damn that is weird
-Marinette was calling to get the Billboard taken down. That convo was funny
-Also She sees Adrien’s sad and is happy to try and go fix it?! Tikki being like (b*** you don’t even know its your fault)
-Marinette having gifts for Adrien on EVERY OCCASION. Also the fact that Tikki knew which one. Considering that in Chrismaster she had gifts until he was 50. Now people will make the argument that she is being creepy, I say she is hella prepared. (I have a friend like that gets her Christmas gifts for people ready MONTHS in advance.)
-Marinette you are WAY too Sus with that whistling
-One convoluted explaination. And Adrien is like “Okay … sure?”
-Takes the gift. Adrien is just like ‘Sure I like gifts’
-DID SHE GET HIM A HAMSTER?! Or like a hamster cage!? Also, they have the same fave animal.
-Oh it’s a dream sequence! She got distracted by her own delusion! Damn! I knew future episodes and it got me for a second!
-A POTTER WHEEL!
-SHE YEETS IT OUT OF SHAME!
-He was still fine with the gift, but Marinette’s focus on a perfect gift actually ruined the moment and made him sad.
-Kagami arrives just as Adrien leaves. Kagami about to fix her ship!
-THE BIGGEST PLOT TWIST OF THE EPISODE. Gabriel actually TRYING TO BE A FATHER! I AM SHOOK. Also Adrien is too bummed out to care. Damn
-Plagg nailing how I feel. 3 sentences in a row!
-Oh… OH S***! I don’t want to live like my father. GOOD FOR YOU ADRIEN!
-Kagami “His blade has lost his shine” Marinette : “HIS WHAT!?” This will be taken out of context
-Kagami is trying to be kind. “Youre both weak… Sensitive to other people”
-Kagami is trying to explain that Marinette has to be on the attack and confess already. Using fencing terms. Did not expect all of this Kagami but I am LIVING FOR IT.
-So Kagami sets up the Marichat later on… Kagami you are a genius
-OH S*** HE IS DESTROYING ALL THE ADS!”
-EVEN PLAGG IS GETTING TIRED OF THIS AND HE LOVES CHEESE!?! Adrien is going hard tonight!
-“ALLL OF THEM?!” aLSO Paris…. WHY SO MANY ADS.
-Tikki is like “Isnt it weird that he is here!?” “Cats are always on Rooftops.” Marinette that made me laugh. Tikki is like “I know the truth and its KILLING ME!”
-Chat noir is saying he loves no one adamantly to move on from Ladybug. Poor boy is trying not to be his dad
-Chat noir is so confused by what Marinette is asking. And Marinette isn’t explaining it
-Okay so Chat noir was still like “I don’t feel that way about you.” And Marinette then explains that’s the point. He finally gets it.
-ADRIEN IS NOW BUTTERCUP!
-CHAT NOIR HAS A SERIOUS FACE?! Did… Did anyone else know that?
-Marinette is kind of being a b*** right now.
-Chat noir has some valid critiques here. So Marinette is like “FINE YOU DO IT THEN!”
-And naturally chat noir has confessed 100s of times. The boy could confess in his sleep.
-Chat noir being an expert on confessing and helping marinette calm down is cute. This is some SOLID marichat.
-Chat noir uses his stick to get around…. I swear they are doing these on purpose
-Glaciator sees his NOT SHIP! OH NO
-So the movie they ended up going to ended up being a romance movie… Paris is f***ing weird
-Marinette is just baring her soul to chat noir here. Marinette being self aware maybe my favorite part of this episode.
-The guy who yelled at them is right, he wants to watch the movie.
-EVERYONE THE STAFF TURNS INTO AN UMBRELLA!! FANFIC MATERIAL! EVERYONE! JOT IT DOWN!
-Wait… are we getting a marichat umbrella scene!? S*** we are being fed so much
-Now chat noir’s turn to bear his soul. This is some good stuff. The essence of Marichat. Two people that can confide about their feelings for another and help.
-Glaciator cant handle his OTP not being together
-Oh so Andre thinks he is losing his power of ice cream.
-She never gave andre the charm.
-Ladybug is like “B*** are you making fun of me!”
-Chat noir is like “Nah, I am just trying to move on.”
-SHE SUMMONED THE CAR!!!
-oh they both drove
-And here we have Ladybug setting Clear boundaries with Chat noir. “If I say something is bad. Stop.” GOOD!
-Huh… That was cool (get it!?)
-Good thing she only needed to throw the keys. But I wish she yeeted the car.
-Oh damn she is going genuine for the confession
-Also Adrien won a tournament. Good for him
-KAGAMI’S STRATEGY WAS FROM A MANGA! I… I AM SO HAPPY! IM DONE! THIS IS THE BEST EPISODE OF SEASON 4. BAR NONE. THIS WINS. WE ARE FINISHED.
-Adrien admits chat noir is a role. Yep, this is it. This is the best episode of season 4
________________________________________________________
11 out of 10. (Though actually 9.5/10)
This is now my new fav episode of season 4.
The marichat was good. The kagami was good.
Even the bits that originally seemed to be harsh were actually quite fair.
I think this was the best writing for the season, and also Kagami is now tied with Plagg in my heart.

A Companion for Loneliness 1/2
Summary: Tommy is lonely, so Phil takes the advice of Tommy’s therapist and gets him a pet.
Warnings: Dehuminization (treating people like pets)
Word Count:  2234
__________________________________________________________
 Phil hung up the phone and let out a long sigh, hanging his head. The call from his boss, about having to work longer hours, was a good thing money wise. Especially since his boss guaranteed he’d be paid overtime for the longer hours. What it wasn’t good for was his son.
 Now Tommy was old enough to take care of himself. The fifteen year old reminded him of that everyday, calling himself a big man and other such similar things. But, though Tommy didn’t admit it, Phil knew that he got lonely when Phil was out all day and night at his job. And especially now that it was summer, Tommy no longer had school to distract him from that loneliness. 
 Phil was hoping to spend more time with Tommy during the summer but with his increase in hours, that wasn’t going to be possible. It wouldn’t be so bad if Tommy had friends to hang out with but…
 Of course, that wasn’t Tommy’s fault. But it made Phil feel even worse about not being able to be there for his son.
 His phone rang again, pulling Phil out of his thoughts. He glanced at the caller ID before answering it. “Hey Puffy,” Tommy’s therapist was a wonderful young woman and had helped Tommy a lot. Tommy didn’t see her as often anymore but Puffy always made sure to call every once in a while to see how things were going. Phil appreciated it and he knew Tommy did too.
 “Hey Mr. Minecraft! Just checking in. How is Tommy doing? Summer should be starting soon, right?” Puffy asked, cheerful as always. 
 “Yeah, it just started actually. And Tommy’s...good.” The silence he received made Phil wince.
 “And how is Tommy actually doing?” Puffy asked, tone softer this time. Phil sighed. He really couldn’t get anything past Puffy. Not that he was really trying to but still.
 “He is doing well at the moment but I just received some news from my work. I...They need me to put in extra hours. The money will be great for us but--” He was cut off.
 “But Tommy will be left all alone.”
 Phil shut his eyes, using his free hand to rub at them. “Yeah. For the most part. And I hate doing that to him but there really isn’t anything I can do about it.”
 “...Have you thought about getting Tommy a pet?” Puffy said suddenly and Phil opened his eyes again, blinking.
 “A pet?”
 “Yeah, ya know, a companion to keep Tommy company and distracted while you're gone. Pets are wonderful for that sort of thing.” Puffy explained. Phil had never thought about that before, mostly because he never really cared for having a pet in the first place. But if it was to help Tommy…
 “So, should I get him a dog? Or would a cat be better? A hamster?” What pet would be best for Tommy?
 “Actually, for Tommy, I was thinking more along the lines of a borrower.”
 “A borrower?” Phil didn’t pay much attention to things happening around the world but even he had heard about the discovery of borrowers several years ago. They were huge back then but the hype had died down over the years. They were still fairly popular but the novelty had long since worn off. “Why a borrower for Tommy?”
 “Well, unlike other pets, they can actually have conversations with us.” Puffy said and, well, she had a really good point there. “It might be good for Tommy to be able to talk with someone. My nephew recently got his own pet borrower and he loves him and my son has had one for years. They make great companions, in ways a dog or cat can’t be. I think one would be perfect for Tommy.”
 Phil had been nodding along, a smile slowly creeping onto his face. It really did sound perfect. A pet that would not only distract Tommy but one he could also speak to and hang out with. 
 “I think I’ll take you up on your advice Puffy, thank you so much.” Phil could hear the smile on Puffy’s face as he spoke back.
 “That’s what I’m here for! Literally. Anyway, let me know how it goes and I wish you luck in picking one out for Tommy. Oh and I would stick to males when picking out a borrower and either around Tommy’s age or a bit older. It’ll hopefully make it easier for Tommy to connect with a borrower like that.”
 Phil nodded despite knowing Puffy couldn’t see him. “Thank you Puffy. Talk to you later.”
 “Bye Mr. Minecraft!” And with that, Puffy hung up. Phil placed his phone down on his desk, feeling better about the whole situation. He glanced at the time and went to grab his keys.
 He started working again tomorrow, so he might as well go out and get Tommy that borrower while he could.
***
 Phil entered the pet store, looking around to try and see where they kept their borrowers. He must have looked as lost as he felt though, as an employee came up to him with a smile on her face. Her name tag read Niki. 
 “Hello sir, is there anything I could help you with today?” Her voice was cheerful and authentic. It made Phil smile.
 “Yes, actually. Um, I’m here to buy my fifteen year old son a borrower.” Phil said and he almost missed the way Niki shifted and tensed up slightly at the mention of a borrower. But as quickly as it came it went and Niki was back to her relaxed self. Phil must have imagined it.
 “Of course! Right this way, I’ll show you our selection of borrowers.” Niki started walking towards the back of the store and Phil followed, looking down the aisles as they passed them. Finally, Niki turned into one and Phil followed, seeing the rows of cages filled with borrowers. Though, there weren't as many as Phil would have first thought.
 “Our selection in this store is a little small but you should be able to find one here.” Niki said with a smile. Phil glanced around at the cages, biting his lip at all the choices. How was he supposed to pick?
 “You said this was for your son, right?” Niki chimed in again and Phil’s gaze landed back on her as he nodded.
 “Yeah, my job is keeping me extra long this summer and my son...doesn’t really have any friends. He gets lonely, though he won’t admit it, and I feel bad for leaving him. His therapist is the one who suggested I get him a borrower, actually.” Phil explained.
 “I see.” Niki hummed. Phil noticed how her gaze had softened though it was weird considering Phil hadn’t noticed her tense before. “Well, I have to go back to the front but there are a few borrowers in that last cage at the end of the aisle that might catch your eye.” She pointed at said cage, gave Phil a smile and then walked past him to head back up to the front.
 Phil watched her go and then turned back towards the cage she had pointed at. He headed over that way, glancing into the cage once he came upon it. There were about five in this one cage and Phil looked them all over. A couple seemed to simply ignore him, while one seemed to try and make itself smaller and another refused to even look at him.
 The fifth one though, was actually actively glaring at him. 
 Phil blinked, meeting that one's gaze. It was hard to make out the finer details of his face from the corner he was sitting in but he was clearly tall for a borrower, or at least, compared to the others in the cage with him, and his hair sat in a similar way to Tommy’s but was brown instead of blond.
 In fact, though Phil couldn’t quite place why, this borrower reminded him a lot of Tommy right off the bat. Maybe it was the fire behind that glare or even just the hair, but it was there and Phil couldn’t ignore it.
 “Hello mate,” He said in greeting, smiling softly and ignoring the glare. The borrower jumped slightly but his glare only hardened. “What’s your name?” 
 “F*** off.” The borrower spat out and Phil’s eyes widened. He was reminded of Tommy more by the second. 
 Well, that had been easier than Phil thought.
 He stood up straight and walked away, ignoring the confused look the borrower had sent him. When he came back with Niki, the borrower’s eyes widened and he hurried to a stand. “Oh f*** no.”
 “I had a feeling you’d take a liking to Wilbur.” Niki said with a smile towards Phil.
 “Wilbur?” Phil asked for clarification and Niki nodded.
 “That’s his name. Wilbur Soot, 22 years old. He was caught and brought into this pet store around 6 months ago.” Niki explained and then turned her attention to said borrower. “Hey Wilbur, it looks like today is the day.”
 Wilbur shook his head, looking panicked. “N-No! What the hell, Niki?!”
 Phil glanced between the two, confused. Niki let out a little sigh and sent a sad smile towards Phil. “Sorry, he’s just nervous.” She turned back to Wilbur. “Trust me Wil, this will be good for you.” Phil watched as she reached in and wrapped her hand around the borrower. Said borrower squirmed and tried to fight his way out of the grip but it proved fruitless. Niki brought him out of the large cage, only to place him into the smaller one she had brought with her from the front.
 Once he was locked inside, he was handed over to Phil. “Alright, let’s go and get the payment all settled.” Niki said and Phil nodded, following her once again back towards the front. He handed his card over once Niki took to the register and Niki started the payment process.
 “Were you getting anything else today?” Niki asked, she was still smiling but it was a little less wide than before. Phil blinked at the question, glancing down at the borrower in the small cage. He was still being glared at but now the little guy was curled in on himself near the center of the cage.
 “Um...should I be getting something else? Sorry, this was sort of a last minute thing. What exactly do borrowers need?” Phil asked, feeling sheepish at his lack of knowledge. Thankfully, Niki’s understanding gaze made him feel better.
 “Well, honestly, they don’t need a lot. Or, at least, they don’t need a lot of things that you need to buy. They eat human food just fine, so no need to waste money on that. I would recommend a borrower bed for him to sleep in though. And a collar for if he gets lost but those aren’t required.” Niki explained and Phil nodded along. 
 “That sounds good. Could you throw in a borrower bed and I’ll go ahead and take the collar too.” Phil said and Niki nodded, fetching the items and placing them in a small bag. She then rang up the order and Phil was hesitant to see the price. But when it appeared on screen his eyes widened. It wasn’t nearly as much as he would have thought.
 “Here you go.” She handed over the bag, which Phil took and picked back up the cage that he had placed on the counter.
 “Thank you so much for your help.” Phil said and Niki grinned.
 “Of course, if you need anything again, I’m happy to help!” They waved goodbye and then Phil was out the door.
 He got into his car but hesitated placing Wilbur down into the front seat. He looked down at the borrower, noticing how the little guy hadn’t moved much from his earlier position but now he seemed to be refusing to look at him. He looked sad and it made Phil’s heart melt just a little bit. 
 “Hey mate,” He spoke and Wilbur’s head snapped up to look at him. The glare was back but it was less intense this time, another emotion that Phil couldn’t quite pinpoint getting in the way of the heat. “Just thought I should explain. I’m getting you for my son, Tommy. He’s fifteen and doesn’t have any friends. His therapist suggested I get him a borrower, so here we are.”
 Wilbur’s expression dropped and Phil suddenly felt the need to reassure him. “Don’t worry though, Tommy is a good kid and I’m sure he’ll love you. You’ll be just fine.” Satisfied with that amount of reassurance, Phil put Wilbur’s cage down and locked it into place with the seatbelt, just in case.
 Once he was sure the cage and the borrower inside were secure, Phil started up the car. He glanced at the time and hummed to himself. “Should probably pick up some dinner on the way home.” He’d pick up Tommy’s favorite, to try and further ease the pain the news of him working extra hours would bring. Hopefully the food and the new pet will be enough for Tommy.
 “Don’t worry mate, we’ll be home soon.” He spoke aloud to Wilbur again, for some extra reassurance before backing out of the parking space and rolling out of the parking lot.

Green carnations a soudam thing(romantic leaning) + a lot of random headcanons so yeet
Gundham as a child used to beg his mother to buy the carnation seeds whenever he saw them in some of the stores they went to. She only let him once buy them and they did in fact grow.
Now he was older a hope's peek student and the plant was still thriving now residing in his dorm, the green flowers bringing him back from lows of his days of home sickness. It was like he was still at home, like he never left and that in a few minutes he'd hear his mom call him to dinner.
He was still surprised that after so many years the plant was still alive. He had many times in his younger years forgotten to water it forgot to put it back inside before a snow storm and many many more mistakes. No matter how he felt prior to seeing it it always brought him back to a sense of childhood joy and home calmness as if the feels he had when he first planted it were infused into the very plant itself.
It was many months before anyone else had seen the carnations(mostly cause it was never moved from his dorm and he didn't really invite anyone there) Sonia and Soda being the first to see it from his classmates, "and here is my greatest ward of protection! A powerful carnation that has served me well for all its years!" Gundham presented the plant a wide smile on his face, Sonia smiled "its beautiful Gundham! How'd you get it?" Soda was smiling at the plant and at the other two. "my mother had acquired the seeds from a powerful mage for a small price and we grew it together!" he grinned a sense of childhood wonder slipping into his voice.
"didn't know your kid self would be interested in gay flowers." Soda giggled a bit, "pardon?" he looked at him blinking away a sense of confusion. "green carnations are said to be a sign of queer men so gay flowers," Soda said in a slight matter of fact way. "I-I was unaware of that being the plant's association back then not a soul informed me," Gundham looked at the ground a conflict running in his mind like a hamster on a hamster wheel.
"oh really? I guess not everyone grew them as a way of coming out then," Soda tapped his chin a bit, "you grow carnations too? Maybe we could compare how different yours are in comparison to Gundham's!" Soda immediately falls on the defensive "oh no no no no I'd loose any comparison plus I just got mine and it's already dying..." tears prick at his eyes as he speaks scratching the back of his neck. "in that case I wish to assist you with your own ward!" Soda blinked at him a bit the tears falling down his cheeks.
"what?" Gundham held onto one of his hands looking at him, "I wish to assist you! I can bring the ward back to a sense of glory with my own experience with the elements of dendro so shall you let me assist?" Soda blinked a bit before looking to Sonia, "he wants to help you out with bringing the plant back from the dead and help you take care of it." Soda nodded a bit understanding her words and looking back at the overlord, "wait you want to help me?" Gundham grinned wider, "of course! I do strive to have you as my ally after all!" the two of them laughed while Sonia choose to go and play with Gundham's cat instead as it in fact knew the feeling of being a third wheel as well.
It was a week later that Gundham came to Soda's dorm to help him with his plant problems. Gundham took the plant out of its pot to examine the roots as by what was above the surface the plant was dying and wilting, "ah I see." he finally spoke a slight anger in his voice. "what is the problem? Did I fuck something up so badly it is past the point of no return???" Soda started to freak out but Gundham put a hand on his shoulder, "the ward was already to be seen by the reaper and voyage across the Styx. You were given a ward that was diseased and infected with a curse it was not your doing."he spoke trying to stay calm and not go apeshit at the condition of the plant in front of him, "uhh what does that mean in not overlord English?"Soda asked blinking a bit, "you got scammed with a diseased and bug infested plant you aren't the one responsible for killing it." "oooh thanks."
The two ended up starting over completely with the plant and in understanding each other. Soda even not needing to ask Gundham to explain what he meant speaking in a similar manner himself when speaking to him or to himself subconsciously. It felt like no time but really many months but Soda now had a healthy thriving green carnation plant, he couldn't help but cry when Gundham came by to check on the progress. "you are most kind Gundham!" he screamed tackling the other in a hug, "the pleasure is really my own dear companion!" the two of them laughed as they were on the floor of the dorm hallway for a little while.
Many months later, "I have something to confess to you Gundham," Soda said standing in front of Gundham and his open dorm, "yes Kazuichi?" Soda took a shaky breath before offering Gundham a green carnation flower, "will you go out with me?" his face was beet red as the other took the flower from him hands, "I know that you are probably straight and that you just so happened to love a flower that is considered a queer symbol and all but-" Gundham cut off the mechanic with a soft and quick kiss going a light shade of pink himself. "I'd love to, as well it was a funny coincidence that I love both a flower with such a meaning and also having romantic feelings for a man."
To say the least they were dating ever since, the green carnations that they grew a living reminder of each other's relationship.
Hope yall liked this one

Headcanons on the type of pets La Squadra would own?
Holy shit this was too fun to make, especially with giving the pets names.
Sorbet and Gelato have their own Crusty-White-Dog™ that's a Maltese Terrier named Armani. The dog hates and barks nonstop at everything deemed threatening (aka, everyone and particularly the rest of La Squadra) and yet those two will claim she's the sweetest thing in the world. True to her name, they deck her with Armani branded clothes, either specially made dog fashion or they had a DIY done to make it look like an Armani outfit- down to the bright pink leash she wears dripping in the Armani logo. She eats the finest dry kibble and only drinks Ferrarelle Sparkling water; she will know the difference if you switch it up. She's the epitome of "I demand pets but only do so with your eyes" to everyone. Despite loving Sorbet and Gelato the most, she demands all their attention on her and she will cockblock those two if she catches them being affectionate to each other instead. Despite having a nice bed, she always sleeps between the two of them and will whimper if they kick her out of the bedroom so they can get intimate. Those tear-stained eyes always look like they've seen everything, despite being constantly babied by her owners. If Armani could, she would kill everyone.

Risotto, the biggest man in Vento Aureo, has a little Syrian hamster he called Ace. He thought that a pet with a shorter lifespan would allow him the perfect balance of having a pet but not being very attached to it compared to pets that live longer- he was wrong. If you ever come into Risotto's office as he worked, either you are greeted with Ace running around in his green hamster ball, walking around Risotto's desk as he worked, or running in the hamster wheel behind the desk. Ace's tank is an old Aquarium tank Pesci gave to Risotto that is now full of soft bedding, toys, and Risotto frequently cleans it. There are days where Risotto just spends hours watching his hamster walk around the room, eating little treats, and staring at Risotto with its beady eyes. It's gotten to the point where you can't walk into Risotto's office without noticing a lone sunflower seed or piece of bedding on the ground that Risotto didn't notice until you pointed it out. Every time Ace passes from old age, Risotto buys a new Syrian hamster and calls that one Ace. He hasn't kept track of how many hamsters that came and went so far, but treated every one of them as if they were the first Ace. He takes pictures of Ace doing the most relatively boring things and will share them with his members.
Tumblr media
Illuso got a Sulphur-crested cockatoo named Scapino as a joke. He thought they didn’t require much attention but later felt bad when he found out that they need specific proper care. He proceeds to care for it as if it was his child. Illuso taught his bird how to speak and swear at people, specifically swearing at Formaggio and occasionally at Ghiaccio. This man will shower his bird with the best treats (expensive nuts, dried fruit, chicken bones) and has a special bar for it to perch on when they're in the shower together. This bird has free reign all over Illuso's place and wears a little anklet thing to verify that it has an owner should it escape. The two of them have spa days together and it’s one of the most wholesome things in the world to witness. Scapino will actually join Illuso on missions too, staying in the mirror world the whole time, and it provides him some comfort from his social anxiety. Sometimes Scapino sits on his shoulder as he walks. Illuso trained it to stay and hide in the mirror world so that it wouldn’t fly away or blow his cover when he’s working. But the bird will fly around in there and will watch anyone that’s getting murked in front of him with no remorse and commenting on it too. Imagine you’re dying in the mirror world and your last moment is this fucking bird looming over you going “night night, motherfucker”. JESUS CHRIST. 
Tumblr media
Prosciutto used to be on the whole “pets are unnecessary” train but he had considered looking at breeders for the best quality dog. And then one rainy day he found an abandoned Portuguese Water Dog puppy in an alleyway and at Pesci’s insistence took it in. Turns out the puppy was bought by a rich family for their kid but then abandoned when the kid wasn't interested in it anymore. Prosciutto insisted that the dog was going to stay for one night and then sent to the pound first thing in the morning. It's been years now and the little dog is now a big fluffy good boy named Pon Pon. The second biggest chunk of Prosciutto's paycheck is for this dog; I'm talking grooming services with paw-ticures, an all-organic raw diet, the nicest beds that even a human would wish they can sleep on. Pon Pon is properly trained with all the basics and tricks, because Prosciutto doesn't want to deal with a misbehaving dog, but it will use puppy eyes against the old man now and then. He give you the best smiles if you call him a good boy and if you glance at the right time you can see Prosciutto smile for a brief moment. Had he lived longer, he would have made Pon Pon famous on Facebook like Boo the Dog. Prosciutto will also not admit that this dog has helped him get laid a few times, because every person he did bring home always got a kick out of Pon Pon.
Tumblr media
Ghiaccio has a pet snake- an albino ball python named Bianco. Ghiaccio was also on the “pets are unnecessary” train too but mainly because he can't stand loud pets (i.e. Illuso and Sorbet and Gelato’s pets). When Risotto suggested he get a snake, Ghiaccio looked into it, researching and meticulously setting up the proper enclosure  and found himself going to a local reptile expo to find Bianco for sale. He’s fascinated by his snake to say the least, and would use leftover containers or Tupperware for Bianco to spend more money on proper equipment or food. Ghiaccio is really involved in online reptile forums and frequently debates with people on topics such as the best substrates to use, whether live rodents are better than frozen, ethics of breeding certain species, etc. He often gets worried when Bianco becomes picky and Ghiaccio would spend sleepless nights trying to get his baby to eat. Ghiaccio would walk around with his ball python wrapped around his neck or lets him slither around in his room under supervision but he mostly leaves him alone in the enclosure. There are times where he would claim he has the best, smartest pet and everyone just rolls their eyes like “yes the white fettuccine that got stuck in a toilet paper roll an hour ago is so smart”. But they let him rant about it. It’s kind of cute to say the least.
Tumblr media
Pesci is the definition of people whose entire LIVELIHOOD is making his room into an aquarium. His room is full of strictly maintained, cleaned, and decorated tanks full of various types of aquatic animals. I’m talking Dwarf Puffers (Antonio, Portia, Jessica, Bassiano, and Solanio), Albino Gold Axolotls (Moe, Larry, and Curly), Red Ear Sliders (Franco and Ciccio), Clown Fishes (Browser, Mario, Toadstool, and Koopa), Brazilian Sea Horses (Tom and Jerry), a Blue Betta Fish named Valentina in a 30+ gallon aquaponics tank that grows a variety of plants each season- to name a few. He rebuilt his entire room to keep everything running and even had Melone help him set up timers for lighting and temperature control. Pesci will cry if you somehow made the pH level off by 1 or did not care for his animals properly when he’s away. He’ll even lecture you about bad tank setup. He's a prominent member of the aquarium  community in Italy and will regularly redecorate each tank to suit the year and mood. This is where he’s spending his cut on the 20 million lira job: caring for his mini aquarium room. He occasionally gives away his pets’ offsprings for extra money (he doesn’t breed but sometimes he ends up having a ton of baby animals he can’t take care of) and would have been a YouTuber for his fish content. Now that I think about it, Pesci reminds me of my mutual @nexter2nd. Please go follow them.
Tumblr media
Melone has a Holland Lop bunny and you cannot change my mind. He actually had a pet bunny growing up, another Holland Lop named Echo and Grep, and his current one is named Sudo; all three are named after UNIX commands. He has a large dog crate he diy-ed to be a roomy enclosure in his room for her that he cleans frequently but also allows Sudo free reign of the room when she wants to go out. Because of his job, he makes sure all his wires are covered so his bunny isn't tempted to chew them and watches his bunny diligently whenever she roams around. Easter time is when the denim jacket, pastel bows, and flower crowns come out and Melone makes sure to take a lot of photos. He also housetrained his bunny and taught her a few tricks, similar to how he trained Echo and Grep years ago. Sudo is spoiled in terms of getting a lot of pets, new toys, and feasts on the finest veggies and delicious hay. Melone also makes sure the first thing he teaches his Juniors is to not harm the bunny. Surprisingly, he's against breeding Sudo and has her neutered. This is mainly because he doesn't have the time to breed and raise more bunnies but also he hates the idea of selling the grown bunnies off afterward. 
Tumblr media
You know that Formaggio has a cat: the little Russian Blue cat named Sweetie Baby. Sweetie Baby was a kitten that he found outside his home. The little thing was the sole survivor of its litter and nearly starving to death, so he took her in thinking he will bring her to the shelter when she recovers; that cat now lets him live in HER apartment rent-free. Despite feeding her cheap dry food and constantly shoving her into bottles, he treats her like a queen otherwise. He will dress her up in little outfits (much to her annoyance) and often would be too aggressively affectionate towards her. Still, there are moments where she would cuddle with him during the later nights and allow him to put on one iced-out bow he just spent a quarter of his paycheck on. Walking to his apartment and even the backdoor of La Squadra’s HQ means carefully walking through the stray cats mewling at your feet, because Formaggio will feed any cat he sees. Initially, Risotto wanted the cats gone, but then he finds out the cats doubled as security when he watched some robber attempting to break in but getting their eyes scratched off instead.
