jelly bean (formerly known as mother goose) and her daughter little bo peep!!!!!
jelly bean was brought into the shelter i got her from at around 1 year old with kittens. today i visited that shelter (they like having visitors socialize with the cats) and one of the shelter staff told me they still have one of her daughters as a permanent resident! miss bo peep is TEN YEARS OLD and i can definitely see a resemblance.

helped my friend move carried a bunch of boxes up the stairs was 1/2 of the Get The Sofa Upstairs team. killed it today on expressing love to my bestie (my love language is Lift Heavy Box Do DIY). offered to make their bed but we couldn't find the screws so I'm going back tomorrow bc they're a widdle baby twink who is not DIY confident 😘
then we had a lovely dyke time with the whole volunteer moving team on the beach with some beers and pizza ☺️
good time had by all. also I flirted a tiny bit with someone I met at the moving party 👀 We're Developing As A Person

Too Many Critters!
First, it was the slug in the kitchen leaving slime-trails over Sparkfoot's ingredients.
Then it was the sackbag in George's bed, followed by...
...the tiny croc in the showers which had Kata running, dripping and screaming.
Next was the ore nibbler causing Freya to waste a whole day fixing the atomic furnace.
(But the narfish in the hologram didn't bother anyone).
The final nail was drilled by the steam spider in Fife's infirmary.
"The Captain can't keep leaving critters running around the ship!" cried Sparkfoot. "It's unsanitary!"
"It's alarming!" cried Kata, and George nodded along.
"It's dangerous!" cried Freya.
"Something," Fife said, "must be done!"
"Boss," said Kata to Yuudai, "please will you speak to the Captain about this?"
"Imploring. She listens to you," said Sparkfoot to Xictli.
"Alright," Xictli and Yuudai said. "We'll see what can be done."
"Come," said Captain Mio when Xictli knocked on the bridge door.
"Captain," said Yuudai. "The crew are concerned with the number of critters you keep abandoning on the ship."
"They are becoming a nuisance and a danger," said Xictli.
"Oh?" Mio asked.
"The ore nibbler ate through the atomic furnace."
"The slug spoiled food and the steam spider left rust in the infirmary."
"And the crew don't like being surprised in their quarters."
"Oh dear," said Captain Mio. "I'll see what I can do."
The first thing to do, thought Captain Mio, was to collect all the critters together. So she went around zapping up all the critters with the relocator tool. All the siders and the scarabs and the blobs and all the other critters.
Then she though 'well now I have them all, where shall I take them?' She couldn't just dump them on any only planet - they were too use to being fed. So the Captain thought long and hard.
"I know!" she exclaimed to herself. "I can take them to the Zoo on Altais! The keepers there will be able to take them and look after them for me. And I can visit them any time I like."
So off she went and talked to the zoo keepers.
"Of course we can look after your critters!" the zoo keeper said. "We'll be happy to have them."
Mio put the critters in a special box for the zoo keeper and petted them all.
"Visit any time," the zoo keeper said, smiling.
"Of course. I'll see you soon!" Mio said, happy that the critters and her crew would all be happy again.
Made for the Jan 2024 prompt: Critters

Is there a way to get help for the people witnessing a bunch of terrified children on screen getting medically tortured and thinking that this is the show making said character cool and special and not just an abuse victim? bc this is not only old, it’s bordering on worrying.
Suffering is just suffering. It sure does make you things, but special isn’t one of them.
Child is kidnapped, abused, forced to be complicit in whatever a secret malevolent society forces them to do, has to run away and hide Not Even As Themselves to get away and it barely works for long. Their friend gets murdered. Then, when the society is fed up with them, they erased their memories and past, remove what was done to them from popular history so nobody else will know they existed, and dump them alone and without family back on the planet they were tortured to build. There is a child crying in a barn involved. Then they go on to do various other horrible things to them, the only plus side is they get better at running away now, but not always. Because they get pulled back in and messed with all the time because gallifrey hates them but also still wishes to use and abuse them for their own gain.
I wonder if the doctor sleeps better after the master went nuclear on them.
Regardless, the chosen one trope this is not. Nobody was chosen. There was a kidnapping. This is mother gothel territory.
