look. so many people use the classist card for this, but if you can't afford to feed an animal a diet that's not going to cause serious medical issues that will either kill it or require medical treatment for the rest of the animal's life, then maybe you shouldn't own this animal. "poor people deserve to have animal companions too" yes absolutely i agree, but maybe not at the expense of the animal's health.

#this post was brought to you by people defending feeding cats ferrets hedgehogs and various rodents dry cat food #'oh no why did my hedgie turn yellow :(' because you fed an insectivore food that doesnt contain insects #'oh no why does my ferret have neurological issues' because you fed it dry cat food #'i soaked kibble in water and my cat still had renal failure' because soaking it only solves one problem #I'm not even going to touch mice and hamster breeders that feed their animals cat kibble #szad.txt

forgive me for the possibly foolish question, but what kind of care do the fish in the aquaponics require? do you have to feed them to a certain point where the plants then supply their diet, or do you continuously care for them? merci! i love your blog 🌱

The plants don't feed the fish, it's the other way around :) The plants use the fish poop as natural fertiliser (with the help of useful bacteria that break it down), and in doing so they clean the water for the fish. Here's a little diagram

Since my system has towers over the fish tank rather than grow beds, the fish do nibble on the plant roots that dip in the water but that's just an illegal snack, fish food is their main diet. Also when I find little insects on the plants, I shake them so the insect falls in the water where the fish give it an enthusiastic welcome. Some aquaponic gardeners farm insects to feed their fish (and they feed the insects with some of the plants so they have a complete symbiotic system) but I haven't tried that yet. I used to successfully breed dynasties of stick insects in a terrarium in my bedroom as a kid, so maybe someday.

The fish part of the aquaponic system is very low-maintenance—I don't clean the tank since the plants absorb the fish waste, I just have to adjust how much I feed the fish depending on how many plants there are, so the water doesn't get dirty, it's a bit of a balancing act. The main other thing to watch for is the water pH, for plants it should be around 6 or 6.5 (ideally) and for fish around 7 or 7.5, so I try to keep it between 6.5 and 7 to keep everyone reasonably happy. Rainwater has a lower pH and my spring has a higher one, so when I fill up my watering can in the tank to water outside plants, I look at the pH meter and top up the tank with rain or spring water depending on what's needed.

You just have to be careful not to pick up a hitchhiker fish in your watering can as you go to water other plants!

#ask #english darling i know you don't hear this very often but you don't have enough words #filling my watering can with water to water the plants i planted in the planters... #at least make plant & planter and water & watering have different roots #arrosoir... regadera... just borrow something #you try to make things too simple for yourself you end up with unavoidable redundancy #like with your lack of pronominal verbs #came across the sentence ''la vida misma defendiéndose'' the other day / ''la vie elle-même se défend'' #in english ''life itself defending itself'' #you have to write itself twice! that's just shameful #anyway

Has anyone maybe counted which Klance floating lovingly mid air of mine is it? Sixth? Eight? But first one to become a standee though. I adore the idea of them gravitating toward each other, away from trouble, without any other context beyond love and bliss and I will be happy to draw 50 more versions of it.

We need more rep for people like me who have daddy issues but instead of that making me sexually attracted to older men it just makes me empathize with Mark Winters and cry whenever Tide shows up

there’s so much emphasis on modern anakin being a racecar driver but i need more emphasis on him being like. a professional surfer. going after the most insane waves. thrilled with the speed he can pick up and the slight danger. he’s already got the hair for it! and he would look nasty good in like a partially undone wetsuit, tits out and tanning while he sends cow eyes at lifeguard kenobi just think of the bulge in the front of the wetsuit

#obikin #surfer anakin au #just anakin going after the sickest waves when no one else wants to get into the water cause ts dangerous or something #gets his arm bitten off by a shark #most traumatic day of obi-wan's lifeguarding career #anakin (mostly unconscious): why are you freaking out kenobi ar you jealous the shark got a piece of me before you did #etc etc #kit's silly lil aus #also anakin is a huge shark defender btw #has a shiirt that says not all sharks

when an obsessed orufrey person plays ace attorney for the first time in a while

#witch hat tag #orufrey #you know those times when the defendant is still in shambles at the end of a case because it was not a clear-cut thing #but you get to present one Special Sentimental piece of evidence that proves not all is lost #qifrey's breakdown would be like... he turns up calm and pleasant like dahlia kristoph gant etc but very quickly: #well first he's hiding his scar so you have to use the bracelet and also you find out about the seal on his hat using that. #eventually he is throwing water that comes out of nowhere like that coffee prosecutor guy. and his cape starts billowing #the more he breaks down his neck thingies start coming undone btw. To represent his descent into guilt and his LIES becoming undone. #course as the player i have already used my magatama and seen his 35894 psychelocks. but theyre those BLACK psychelocks #representing his repressed memories taken by the brimhats. also his glasses shatter out of nowhere when you keep presenting evidence #and tartah's testimony etc. and the player is like UHH this guy is A PUPPET MASTER but coco's heartfelt testimony commands the tone #and of course he's someone who has been twisted and damaged by trauma like adrian andrews. the mastermind is of course the brimhats #only me with my magatama knows that... only i can do it. It has to be me..... #just like how as the reader i can see everything about qifrey and i can hold him dear as much as i judge him #whereas if i were oru things would not be ok unless memories can be restored and mentally ill decisions can be illuminated #WELL ANYWAY !!!!! what i appreciate about ace attorney is its ability to mix silliness with seriousness #i cant usually make jokes about serious heavy heartbreaking stuff in witch hat because it is all very intense emotions for me #but i appreciate ace attorney's mix of sincerity and psychological pain and the inherent silliness to being a character in a situation #so.....Get Iguin on the stand. Now. BAILIFF.. TAKE OFF THE MASK #i would most love to be able to prove qifrey's eyesight is failing. hed be like I have no reason to pursue the brimhats (smiles pleasantly) #and it would be like You're lowering your gaze.. proof that the court lighting is too harsh for you..! #his glasses would crack at that moment btw. I used apollo's bracelet and saw the glyphs on the glass. #I know all about u. and i will save u

lance as the blue paladin (former or current, doesnt matter) being a black widow. lance swallowing/killing his pride and letting himself be seen as nothing more than a flirt, an airhead, a blonde bimbo. lance being the teams secret weapon during meetings with planets to get them to join the coalition. lance sniffing out the right guard or advisor or royal that knows everything, getting them wasted and flirting for hours to get them to spill all the dirty secrets. lance being able to alert the team ahead of time if a planet is truly interested in joining the coalition or if they have an agreement with the empire and they lured voltron there as a trap.

lance swallowing/killing his pride and letting himself be seen as weak and stupid. lance playing up the airhead persona so their enemies don��t view him as a threat, them taking out the rest of the team first in their order of who would pose more of a threat to them and them always leaving lance for last bc they underestimate him. lance annihilating their enemies bc he actually is smart and strong and capable.

#the blue lion being the guardian of water. standing for adaptability and intuition. #lance being adaptable is fighting by making everything a weapon including his body and others perception of him #lance having a strong intuition and feelings that dont fail him or lead him astray. him getting odd feelings on missions or during meetings #being able to sniff out a threat before it appears #and then when he becomes the red paladin (guardian of fire. stands for passion and instict) and he still retains his blue paladin traits #lance being able to sniff out threats and reacting accordingly (he has the fastest reaction time - just surpassing keith by a second) #being able to adapt to any situation and use any weapon #before when he was just the bp he had to train with the weapons but now that hes rp hes naturally skilled w them #bamf lance #lance mcclain #vld #voltron #voltron legendary defender #blue paladin lance #red paladin lance #idk if ive said it before but ill say it now and in the future #LANCE SHOULDVE FIGURED OUT THAT CLONE!SHIRO WASNT SHIRO!!!!!!! #i swear everything was building up to that and then they fumbled the plot and character development

so if monstrous nightmare gel dissolves in water, if you got a small enough container of water and put a large enough amount of gel into it (so the ratio is maybe 50/50?) could you potentially light water on fire???

every time i do a geto analysis touching on how concerning and, for lack of better word, “problematic” his eliminationist ideals and mindset were, i always get a couple comments saying “and i love him for that” or “and i’ll support him,” and i know most are in jest for the sake of self-aware satire, but i think we need to collectively come to the agreement that geto’s ideal was a loser mindset. r u a loser, too?

#we can delve into his psychology and understand why he did the things he did #but at the end of the day what he was working towards was shitty #especially in a canonical sense lets not water this down 😭 #we do not need to defend his actions!! it’s fine to understand and empathize but defend??? #i love him to death but that doesn’t mean he was a good guy #geto #jjk

the great divide is bad bc it's pointless but the fortuneteller might be worse bc it kinda fucks up kataang. like katara is clearly a bit enamored with aang in the first few episodes when he literally sweeps her off her feet & brings hope and joy back into her life but here she seems completely disinterested in him until she realizes he might be the guy from aunt wu's predictions. and aunt wu's a fraud and katara's obsession with her is framed as silly so that makes it seem like she doesn't actually like him she just thinks she's Fated to be with him and is going along with that. it makes it seem one-sided and like she's being forced into liking him. but she doesn't need to be forced into liking him! she DOES like him! this doesn't make any sense!

and the thing is, i don't even think it's unreasonable that that initial infatuation would fade a little. she's met & been attracted to other boys (haru, jet) and there's less of the "aang is gonna rescue me from my boring life!!!" dynamic. so when sokka teases them she's like "omg it's just platonic stop it" and aang who hasn't had any other romances (aside from just general attention from girls on kyoshi island) and who still feels that initial "she's the first person i met and connected with in this new world" feeling is a bit sad about that. he hasn't had as much of that initial glow fade so it hurts to know it's changed for katara.

but calling him "a sweet little guy, like momo" is a lot, and the end of the episode makes it seem like she's only into him bc aunt wu said so and i just don't think her feelings have faded THAT much. and i think this clumsy writing might be why people think kataang is one-sided and bad for katara. it's not that it's a bad pairing it's just that this is a kinda crappy episode

#nina's personal log #atla liveblogging #i can't believe i'm delaying watching bato of the water tribe to write this #i think i'm just really seeing kataang this time around and i want to defend them #kataang

Ooh what about a Snow White Spider au where he was instead Raised by the animals of Pandora. Idk how he would have gotten separated from everyone but just love the idea of a Jungle Book, Mowgli situation. Just a little baby feral(even more so here)Eywa blessed Spider. 💕💕

TW - pregnancy, childbirth, death, etc. sorta did that here but she only adopts him when he was 8. so it would be a little different right form the get go, and by get go, I mean right after he was born.

lets say that paz tried to flee when she found out about the suicide mission to attack hometree and wanted nothing to do with it, maybe she finally came to her sense and fleed to eywa, to jake and the few other humans on the na'vi side, hoping for some sort of asylum. maybe she just wanted her son to have a chance. maybe she was just fleeing to flee, self-preservation overriding any sort of thought or logic. whatever the case, she flees out into the forest, hoping, praying, begging whoever will listen to save her child.

eywa listens. maybe for her sake, maybe for the childs, maybe just out of curiosity. but she listens.

she watches Paz struggle to birth her child, screaming "it's too early" all the while. eywa can feel her fear, can tell she's scared and doesn't know what to do. she watches as paz gives her all into it and still teeter on the verge of failure, of killing herself and her child, and assists her, connecting to the women through her roots. paz would think she was tripping, but really it was just eywa, one mother helping another.

when the baby is finally born, which was no easy task, even for the Great Mother herself, paz worries he won't be able to breathe. but eywa already had it handled. spider cries, loud, beautiful cries, drawing the attention of all the flora and fauna in the area. a viperwolf watching the pair from a ridge, not lurking a target, but rather curious of the small thing wrapped in his mother's arms. paz wants to scare it away but finds herself too weak to do so, and then a surge of clam fills her, Eywa telling her it will all be ok.

paz can feel herself dying, some complication or another, she was a high-risk pregnancy to begin with, and she had just delivered early in the middle of the damn forest after running god knows how many miles. while she would rather not die, leaving her premature son alone in these woods, she isn't surprised. instinct makes her want to beg, but as she slumps against the mossy tree trunk she propped herself against, she feels oddly ok with it. again, for the record, does not want to die, but she has this gut feeling her baby will be ok.

she wraps him in her military-issue jacket and holds him for as long as she can. she brushes a finger over his little nose and lets him hold onto her little finger with his entire tiny hand. she prays for her child, despite never having been religious. when she feels herself being on the last few steps of the stairway to heaven, she places spider next to her, so she doesn't risk dropping him.

the las thting she see's is that viperwolf approaching her, calmly, looking back to her cubs half hidden don't he ridge she stood on before. they look each other in the eye, and paz knows, against all rational thought, the way a mother knows, somehow, some way, things will be fine. she lets go, she goes to eywa, leaving her son behind. she was right. eywa was gonna look out for the little one.

~~~

spider was hidden away from the war by viperwolves; they were best inept for handling him so young, so tiny. they hid him in their burrows, amongst their other young, and the whole pack would watch after him. they made sure he was clean and fed, much like Lupa had Romulus and Remus back in old earth tales (an old roman/italian myth, look it up). even as he began to walk and explore, they kept him well away from the na'vi, upon eywa's orders. spider wouldn't be safe there, not yet at least, not till he could hold his own. he wouldn't be accepted, not in a way that would be any good for him. so she would keep him out in the forests, away from anyone who could think of hurting him.

he was raised by all the creatures of the forest how to survive, how to stalk pray and hunt, how to find shelter, how to find clean water. he picked up habits of each creature.

he kept to packs like viperwolves, but hunted alone like thanators. he was closely bonded to the herds of titanothere's that roamed the woods and learn to be a gentle 'giant'.he got his speed and agility from slintsh, watching how they raced through the tree tops with grace, learning to copy them, if even at a fraction of the speed.

once she accepted spider would have to be aware of other na'vi, for his sake, she started connecting to him, not for comfort, but to teach him. she started teaching him language and songs (not of the creatures he considered family, but of the na'vi themselves). she taught him most basic concepts in the form she had taken to appear visible to the child. she told him of his mother, how she was a good women, at least in the end, how she was a good person caught up i bad thing. they talked about what they meant, what spider felt that it meant about her. he didn't know. he wanted to hate her, for his his Mother, for hurting pandora, but also pity, because she was forced, in some ways. he would meet her one day, when he was ready, Eywa knew the day was coming, as he asked more and more questions. that was ok, little bird had to fly the nest one day. even if she hated the idea.

spider was aware of the world out there, was allowed to venture towards it, around 13 or so, but he chose to be cautious. Eywa said there was nothing to fear, not now at least, but he didn't want to approach this unknown world. he did venture closer, stalking up in the trees and watching hunters go about their days, children playing. one day he met kiri, who kept his secret after many desperate pleas. she called him odd, said the way he walked, almost bipedal was strange, and the way he made sounds rather than words more often, or how he didn't know what fire was. spider said that was the way things should be done. she didn't disagree, just smiled at him, copying his actions every now and then.

spider had a lot of little quirks. he tipped and chirped and almost barked, imitating to the best of his ability the sounds of the creatures that raised him. he could walk 'normally' but found it easier to crouch and use his hands. he didn't hunt with a knife or a bow and arrow, instead used primitive stones and teeth, long shards of bone, and ate his foods raw. his skin was rough, not only from the sun and heavy use, but because he caked himself with dirt to make it more durable, avoid sunburn and bugs, and to better blend in. not to mention his naturally primitive way of living; sleeping up in the highest branches of trees, with nothing but the loincloth eywa forced him to make and start wearing when he was first capable of doing so.

thats not to mention he shock when he named most animals in his territory, when he was friendly with all fo them, when he could ride the apex predator of the forest and considered vipewolves to be his family.

when kiri would leave, promsing to tell no one, he would go to eywa and ask about the na'vi. she would share stories with him, even have him meet ancestors, like tsu'tey and eytukan, who he really liked. he also met kiri's mom, grace, another human. she taught him a lot about who he was, what it meant that he was human; but she also shared her fascination, a human boy raised by 'wolves', was the greatest of revelations.

one day spider would venture into the village, after months of getting to know kiri and eventually lo'ak and finally neteyam before he got ratted out by a hunter sent to find out where he children of the chief were hiding away. he would stand in front of jake and tell him Eywa was his mother, just like the viperwolves and the titantheres, and a woman named paz who was a good person and did bad things without knowing just how bad they were. jake would stare in shock at this wild child with golden hair and dirt roughened skin, would listen to his stories, follow him out into the woods and find they were all true. spider would refuse to stay in the village, but would quickly take to his new life; the boy who came and left as he pleased, who was the marker of a whole new chapter of the na'vi people.
