I saw a post with this screenshot and it made me think about you.

Hope you're doing well ! <3

Hi bonemarroww, thanks for checking in. I apologize for my absence and for not updating my slasher stories recently. I shamefully admit that I've been engrossed in other fandoms and have been writing fics on my other two accounts. But! This month I will be coming back around and I will be updating the Bad Guy Series. I hope that you are also doing well, my dear <3

As for your screenshot about Jason, I totally agree. Jason would never abuse an animal- not even if the animal was feral or trying to fight back. If an animal were to attack him, I think he would try to scare it by making loud noise or using nearby recourses in order to protect himself. Hey, he's a big guy too. If he really needs to, he can use his overpowered strength to grab the animal and force it to be still while also managing to keep from harming it.

Jason is like the killer version of a classic Disney princess. I can totally imagine him living peacefully in the woods alone with all his beloved animal friends hanging around. Baby ducks, ravens, crows? He's got lots of feed for them! Feral cats? He knows that they don't like being touched but he still leaves food out for them and enjoys their presence. Raccoons, opossums, skunks, rats? Please, accept all this perfectly good trash these no good, unwanted trespassers' keep leaving behind. Deer? Oh, the does just love him- he steals their hearts without even knowing it. Lol!

Jason is one of the most empathetic killers there is. When it comes down to certain violent tendencies, I'm sure that there is a lot he wouldn't do. I don't even believe that he likes torturing people- I think he'd rather just go for a quick kill and get it over with. Because he's not heartless and he despises unnecessary suffering.

At least that's my interpretation :)

Hi Bumble! I'd read anything you write haha, my only request is if you can write something tooth rottingly (? is that a word?) fluffy and sweet with joel and ellie bc they are the cutest. Especially if theres hugs, cuddles, forehead kisses, and bonus for joel holding ellie's lil adorable face in his hands. TY!

Hey, Anon I hope this was what you were looking for! Story under the cut and Cross-posted on AO3.

Locked Arm and Arm

"Ellie baby, you are gonna be okay. I know you're scared, and ya think you can't do this, but I know you got it in you, sweetheart." Joel's hands feel so warm on Ellie's cheeks, and even though she's twenty-one now and not the fourteen-year-old girl that she was when he first met her, they still seem so large, so safe. She leans into them and lets herself trust him.

"Okay, I can do this." She says, wrapping her hands around his wrists and squeezing. "Let's go, I don't wanna leave my fiancee waiting. She might finally decide that Jesse is the one for her and run off with him."

"I doubt that Baby Girl. Jesse's a real nice kid, but he don't hold a candle to you," Joel says, standing up and wrapping his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his side. He leans down and places a soft kiss on the top of her head before pulling away again and stepping back.

"Do I look okay? Did I mess everything up?" Ellie looks down at herself as she smooths over the black pantsuit she's wearing made of Satin. She can't see any wrinkles, but she's not sure what it looks like from all angles. She twists and turns in the mirror set to the side of the room.

"Ellie, Honey you look fine. No harm done. Sarah, Tess, and Maria are already down there waitin' for us. I was finally able to get Junior out of the kitchen, so he's actually goin' to watch the ceremony instead of gettin' all stressed." Joel steps up to her, extending his elbow, and wiggles his brow at her. "Ya ready to go get hitched?"

Ellie laughs and tucks her arm into his. "Not to you I hope, that would be gross." She says scrunching her nose up in disgust.

"Well yeah, you're my baby girl can't do that, Against the law. Plus, I think Dina might kill me. She's had her eyes set on you since she first saw you, eating like a feral child at the all-you-can-eat buffet her parents ran." Joel muses, pursing his lips as they walk out of the room and down the stairs.

"God do you have to bring that up, I was starving you know. Eating out of dumpsters." She complains trying to kick his shin but he manages to pull it out of the way.

"That is true, Junior did say he thought you were a Raccon when he first heard you in there. I forgot that, makes a lot more sense now you eating the way you did, bein' part raccoon and all." Ellie mimes, biting him, and he laughs as he pulls her through the back door and stops before stepping off the porch.

"Joel, come on it's my wedding day." Ellie halfheartedly whines at him and he soothes her gently by running his hand over her hair down in a carefully constructed half up half down style.

"Sorry, kiddo, I'm just playin'. I can't even begin to tell ya how happy I am for you today, Ellie, and I truly wish only the best for you, baby girl." He says, pulling her in for another kiss on her brow and a hug.

Ellie lets herself glory in the feeling of his warm arms around her and how safe he has always made her feel before pulling away reluctantly. "I love you, Joel, thank you for everything. If it weren't for you, Tess, and Junior, I wouldn't be here today." She can feel the tears slipping past her lashes, and Joel immediately wipes them away with his calloused thumbs.

"Oh, baby, I love ya too, we are all so happy that you came into our lives. You have only made our lives better." Joel's eyes start to look wet, and Ellie shooed him off of her.

"Okay we have to stop this or we are going to both look a wreck and the ceremony hasn't even started yet. Come on let's get me to my future wife." Joel extends his arm for her again and she gladly takes it. "Hey, Joel did you hear about the wedding where all the guests got food poisoning?"Joel's eyes roll to her while he signals for the musicians to start the music, she smirks and continues. "It was a real party pooper."

Joel groans and opens the door starting to walk her down the aisle as she laughs hysterical. "The wasn't funny kid, 1/10."

"Come on Joel that was at least a 5/10. You totally laughed."

"I didn't laugh."

Let’s have a chat about feral and outdoor cats.

For those of you that don’t know me in real life, I spent a number of years working in the intake department at an animal shelter, and I have since moved to working at a cat-specific veterinary hospital. I basically live and breathe cats on a daily basis. This is why, when I saw a post saying “having an outdoor cat is completely irresponsible and unethical” I just about flew off the handles. I see a lot of this type of opinion floating around in witch/cottagecore type communities. Instead of yelling into the void, I figured I would help to educate the community.

That being said, if anybody has any questions about the following, please feel free to shoot me an ask.

First thing’s first: Feral Cat =/= Outdoor Cat

Feral cats are cats that have essentially become “undomesticated” due to a lack of socialization with humans while they were kittens. After about 16 weeks of age, the socialization window has closed, and these cats become very agitated and stressed while in the presence of humans. As adults, feral cats cannot and will not acclimate to indoor cat life. Attempting to do so will only traumatize this cat emotionally, and the cat is more likely to harm itself physically attempting to escape or hide. No amount of socialization will help a feral cat to adapt to an indoor home. They have passed the point of being under-socialized and have come back around to being a wild animal. It’s essentially the same as having a wild raccoon or fox or possum in your home. Not safe for any party.

With that being said: NEVER TAKE A FERAL CAT TO A SHELTER TO BE REHOMED. Primarily because removing a feral cat from an area only provides a space for another feral cat to move in. It doesn’t actually do anything to solve the problem (this is something called the “vacuum effect”). Also, feral cats are one of the most at-risk populations for being euthanized in a shelter. Medical problems are fixable or manageable- being feral is not. No shelter has the time or resources to house, safely handle, and rehome feral cats. The process of being trapped, housed in a shelter, and relocated is extremely traumatic and unfair for these animals. The best thing you can do for a feral cat is Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR- this subject will need to be a whole other post if anybody is interested), ear tipping, building a small heated shelter, and providing a source of food. It is absolutely possible to safely and ethically care for a feral cat.

Outdoor cats, on the other hand, can range from under-socialized to completely friendly cats that just so happen to live outdoors. Again, there are completely safe and ethical ways to care for outdoor cats. Not all cats are satisfied being indoor cats. Some need the enrichment and experiences of living outdoors, and that is completely okay. Outdoor cats can be spayed and neutered to help eliminate the overpopulation problem, vaccinated to help prevent the spread of disease, and marked so that they are easily identifiable to the public (ear-tipping, tattooing- again, a post for another day).

The difference between an outdoor cat and a feral cat is that outdoor cats have the socialization necessary to live in close proximity to humans, sometimes even indoors. Many feral cats are considered “community cats” as they have no owner and tend to fend for themselves. Outdoor cats do typically have owners (sometimes multiple) that they rely on for food, shelter, and companionship. Since outdoor cats are more socialized, they are able to be safely handled in a sheltering situation, and they can be rehomed very successfully. Just make sure you’re not taking your neighbor’s outdoor cat to the shelter. If a cat is outdoors and friendly, somebody nearby is probably feeding it.

I have a lot more information than this on outdoor and feral cats that I am more than happy to share. But it just infuriated me to see so many people agree with the idea that it is unethical to allow a cat to live outdoors. It is true that cats living outdoors live significantly shorter lives due to fights, illness, car accidents, etc. But in my experience, it is far more unethical to emotionally, mentally, and physically traumatize a cat by removing it from its familiar environment and forcing it to live up to human-set standards. Not every cat wants to be your best friend. The kindest thing you can do is to watch it from afar and let it live its best life on its own.

Philly Wildlife: Feral Cats

By Tony Croasdale, Environmental Education Planner, Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center

This time of year, many folks are posting instructions on how to provide shelter for stray cats. I understand why people think this is the right thing to do; however, this compassion is misplaced. House cats are not native to this continent. They were domesticated from the wildcat of Eurasia. Our native wildlife did not evolve with wildcats and therefore our birds, small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians did not develop behaviors to evade them. Outside cats kill billions of birds and small mammals every year in the United States alone. Free-roaming cats exchange disease with wildlife that endanger the wildlife, the cats, and humans. When people feed and shelter outside cats, it provides a place where wildlife come into contact with cats. Raccoons, skunks, foxes, and other wild animals also become accustomed to eating cat food and their behaviors change. These feral cat colonies also attract people to dump unwanted cats. The trend towards “no-kill” shelters means that shelters can fill up and not accept any more cats, so folks looking to get rid of their cats will dump them where they think they will be fed and sheltered.

House cats are domesticated from wildcats that are fully capable of surviving in the winter without shelter. As outside cats have such a negative impact on native animals, whatever advantage they get from humans gives them an advantage to kill more of our native animals. You may think letting a cat survive on its own is cruel, but consider the cruelty to other animals. Feeding feral cats does not stop them from killing wildlife the same way that feeding my cat doesn’t stop her from killing mice. These outside cats will kill hundreds to thousands of wild prey in their lifetime, even as domestic animals and wild fish are killed to make pet food. While it is understandable that some people have a strong emotional attachment towards outside cats since cats are such a popular pet, many other people feel similarly towards wildlife, such as “birders” and “herpers,” whose hobby is observing wild birds and herptiles (the collective group of reptiles and amphibians), respectively.

If feeding and sheltering cats is environmentally irresponsible, then what should people do? The best thing to do is capture the cats and bring them to a shelter. TNR (Trap Neuter Release) is becoming increasingly popular as a solution. However, there is no evidence to support the notion that this method significantly reduces cat populations, if at all. Cats can have multiple litters a year, so unless the vast majority of cats in a population are captured every year, and no new cats are introduced to the population, the population will not decline. The notion that you must feed cats to condition them to be captured is false. As previously mentioned these feeding stations do more harm than good. Sometimes, the best thing to do is nothing at all. If you cannot remove cats from the wild to prevent them from killing native wildlife, at least do not provide them with even more advantages.
