One time in my Human ttte AU, henry found himself too sick to get out of bed and couldn’t take care of his five guinea pigs and Flemish giant rabbit, so Gordon ended up having to take care of them. Only, Gordon doesn’t know how to take care of a rabbit and guinea pigs, he never really had any pets except for a goldfish that died one week later. So for fun, Henry threw in a couple of fake jobs for Gordon to do:
- the guinea pigs are prone to get nail fungus, sniff their toes to make sure that they don’t have any nail fungus.
- when you give the piggies their salad, wheek like they do to let them know that their food is on their way
- I don’t remember how old the rabbit pellets are, please taste them to make sure that they aren’t expired.
- check my bunny’s poop to make sure it’s healthy. You might need to touch it.
- my rabbit needs to have human scent on his blanket. when you take the blanket out of the wash, rub it under your armpits to get your scent on it.
- the bunny likes to be sung songs when he eats.
- sniff the Guinea pigs fur to make sure that they are clean and healthy.
Gordon fell for this hard, he spent several minutes sniffing the Guinea pigs trying to figure out what he’s supposed to be smelling for while Henry, Thomas, and James watched in hysterics. All while the guinea pig is like:
When guinea pigs are hangry and they start wheeking but also there's this angry note to it somewhere between a wheek and a grumble, reblog if you agree
I know its not a secret that I fucking love guinea pigs so so so so much, but I dont think a lot of people know that they're my special interest. ive loved them since I was 9 and they've brought me so much joy and comfort throughout some of the shittiest times in my life. it hasn't been easy lately between being jewish, disabled, and also just a regular ass college student, but piggies are my refuge.
I want to thank everyone I know here for not only being supportive but also actively participating in my love for these chunky rodents. im so so glad that guinea pigs are loved deeply by so many because they truly deserve it. every time someone shares a piggie with me I feel so so happy I would jump up and down if it didn't hurt my back. I love piggies so much and I love everyone who encourages my piggie love. wheek wheek with love to you all!!
