#JUST LEARN ABOUT YOUR PETS MANNNN

[baconcolacan]

As a response to your cat post about people ignorance when it gives to petting:

I HATE THAT SO MUCH

As a cat owner, it really upsets me that people do this - to any animal really, but especially cats because they tend to be more obvious in their dislikes than say a dog who are usually bred to do whatever you say and as a byproduct have more subtle signs of discomfort before they get aggressive

But cats are usually very vocal and obvious from what I've seen

Like my girl, who's name is so lovingly Fat Cat, does NOT like to be pet

She's old enough now to where she's grown more accustomed to this and I'm not the only one who can pet her anymore, but any longer than a minute and she starts growling and trying to move away and gets obviously overstimulated - most times, anyway

But often times family will visit who just, for the life of them, do not understand that she is a bitter bitter old woman and DOES NOT like to be handled by anyone other than me and then they get scratched and get mad at her and me for it like I haven't told them every time they visit to not pet her because this would happen

It's very upsetting to see people view pets as objects like this :( they have feelings and emotions and are living creatures, not a toy you get a kid for their birthday only to drop at a pound later in the year because the kid was too young to understand that (to no fault of their own)

Sorry for the rant I'm very passionate about cats

YEAH NO THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN YOU’RE SO RIGHT JAY.

My whole life I have always adopted or rescued animals, and usually they came from homes who outright hated them, didn’t even want them, or just completely abandoned them. So I’d like to think I’m a bit more sensitive to an animal’s likes and dislikes.

Cats especially, I grew up with a lot of strays and adopted cats, they ALL had different personalities and their own boundaries, of course they do, and I wouldn’t fault someone who may not be familiar with cat behavior stepping over a line by accident, but when you CONTINUOUSLY make them uncomfortable/disrespect their boundaries, THATS when I have a problem, especially when someone tells you that the cat outright doesnt like whatever you’re doing.

You’re absolutely right about them not being toys, they’re a responsibility, if you choose to take in a pet you are their whole world! They rely on you for so much and you don’t even NEED them (excluding working animals) but they need you.

Taking them in might just be a small thought for us, but to them it could be life or death. I’m so serious about this.

Anyway, respect their boundaries, thats all. It’s like making a new friend, you learn about them the more you spend time with them.

Also heres Parm-o with his uncle Ham. They’re actually asleep rn but I like this pic of them together <3

also cartoon parm lmao cause he usually looks like this

I love you my sweet baby boy 😭

Feels on Loki ep 4 - Part 1

(SPOILERS😘)

Loki giving Sylvie a pep talk 😭😭 Has he learned to empathize in a way he didn’t before? “You were just a child, you ran rings around them, you were amazing!” 🥺 She takes his hand and they stare at each other feeling perhaps a more deep and real emotion than they ever have. It’s so much that it causes a timeline branch with a steeper slope than the doofs at the TVA have seen before. (Mobius, it’s time to be jeeeellly) 

Mobius and the guards hauling Loki down the hall, Mobius giving him full salty sass. I gotta say, during this part I thought Mobius was such an asshole, but it made me love him even more. 🥺💘

Okay, but Loki living the memory of Sif telling him he’ll always be alone over and over. Mobius selected this because he knew Loki didn’t actually stop thinking about it. This lodged itself in his subconscious; maybe he only thought he forgot about it, but it lodged in the false belief that he would always be alone. God, I love Loki. I understand why Disney would put in a scene like this, I would have done it myself -- it’s like because Loki was a ‘villain’ the narrative here requires much suffering and penance -- Loki on his knees begging for a forgiveness he will never get -- but this is good because it draws so much FEELS to him. This entire show is Loki empathy generator and I love it. (Also, I’m sorry, but when Loki is on his knees begging her forgiveness it does things to me 🥺)

Mannnn, R. Rennslayer, the way she talks to Mobius like a child and he responds in a kind of stompy kid way 😂 He’s so damn cute in his prim brown suit that when he acts kinda stubborny childish it just is so great!!!

B-15!!!! “SHOULDN’T YOU BE WITH YOUR LOKI PET????” Um, shouldn’t you, Mobius???!!!! BE WITH YOUR LOKI PET!!!

My god, that interrogation scene. This time they were real. Such real emotions. The little insults are even better because they know each other now. Cockroach, got it. (Also, last time Mobius had to break a false demeanor to get Loki to be honest. This time he starts honest, Mobius pummels him, and eventually he makes up a story -- ahh this is the problem with bad interrogation 😂 Mobius is off his game due to being a jealous bitch. God damn, he’s cute being a jealous bitch though. I’m in love with them both, basically. 

Mobius, you jealous bitch, why do you look so cute lying your little ass offffff? Owen Wilson, WTF, why so charismatic 😩 When Mobius goes on about what a narcissist Loki is, it both hurts me, and makes me fall deeper into this story. He’s so sassy. Loki is being so sincere, so open and honest... These two are salt and pepper in more than just hair  🥺 I have too many emotions to articulate them more clearly 😭

Hey! Glad to see you back; I've missed seeing you ^^ For the skin inspired requests, how about: Mercenary + Mr. Interference (the detective looking one)? If I can ask for multiple, is Wu Chang + Intersection Bishounen fine? (I realized that this is a very odd skin to write bout given the horror elements behind that character, but hey, I wonder what you might write for that skin haha)

Mannnn do I wish Naib's Interference skin was out just for the description..... welp I will base his from the other detective skins like Emma's.

As for the Junji Wu Chang Skin. I been meaning to know more about the twins(i think they were twins??? I'll add an edit after I search it up).

Edit: okay I was way off. So.... interesting facts I gotten, I read a summary of the whole Undying Love/Lovesick Dead section of the Junji Ito Collection. And I must say that it's pretty amazing.

Edit 2: I forgotten to finish this some time before but here I go. And im gonna make use of a small idea of a bigger imagine for merc's

[Mr. Interference - Mercenary]

A new case always excited you. It always made Mr. Interference doubt your ability of keeping yourself safe but you had always pulled through. He had to learn to let you loose at some point.

A new case sat before him, he read it carefully as you tidied up the room. His smoke pipe propped against his lips as he pressed against his chair, the light dimmed. Your footsteps walked over to the light before lighting it again with more oil. "(Name)."

"Yes?" Your head turned to meet his face. "Prepare a cab. We're going to the scene of the case."

"Of course, right on it." You told him before leaving the office to make the call. His eyes looked at the photos rather confused. His eyes trailed to the door. He decided to wave it off as a look alike.

It didn't take long for a cab to come and for the two of you to meet at the scene of the crime. Naib walked around carefully, showing his badge as you went unnoticed even by him as he walked ahead.

A police officer came forth and began to talk about what they knew as you intruded further for any more clues. Naib called out to you.

"Huh...?" The officer raised a brow then looked at Naib. "Mister Interference..." They began. "Mr./Ms. (Name) is the victim of this crime."

Naib's heartstrings pulled. His eyes met yours before he let go of his smoke pipe. His eyes sank to the victim. His eyes sunken as he held in a loud sob. He had been going over and over your murder case and he had kept forgetting that this you, wasn't real, you were dead. You been dead for a while and he had gone crazy enough to illusion you doing things for him but it had been him this entire time doing them unconsciously. A tremendous laugh left him, so bitterly sweet it slightly frightened the officer.

[The Intersection Bishounen - Wu Chang]

There was always this distinguished feeling of two pair of eyes following you so close. At times you would find yourself getting trapped in dangerous situations, always seeing someone so far away in black and then saved by another who closely resembled the other.

You stared at the mirror in your home, wondering what had been of your choices. And what could possibly be the cause of those two. The rain poured hard, hitting the glass window as if it were glaciers. Your (color) irises turned to the window then came thunder. In your perspective view, you saw movement. A man in black stood behind you as you stared again at your mirror. When you turned around he vanished. Your eyes met the mirror again to see him far closer than needed. Your heart leap to your throat as a porcelain hand touched the man's shoulder before the white dressed man showed up. A carefully placed finger on his lips hushed you.

The silence grew before the man in black scowled. The man in white chuckled before reaching to touch your head, petting you carefully.

"You are lucky." The black dressed man spoke. "You been marvelous, surviving so long. However, your life is gettihg shorter and shorter..."

"Which is why you should've let me kill (pronoun)."

"I can't let you kill them so merciless. However I have something to offer you." The white eyes met yours. Your head tilt in question. "Make a deal with us and live your days with no worries alongside us."

Your hand unknowingly extended. A twisted expression came to the black eyed man as he held out his hand as well. With a chuckle both men shook your hand, the house filled with your screams awakening the entire town who rushed to make sure you were fine only to find a wrecked room with the broken window.

Oh mannnn Rune Factory why are you so good at making friendships feel so genuine with fictional characters Like, it legit is good therapy when you’re lonely! It just leaves you with this contented feeling. And they somehow managed to achieve it through doing like basically nothing?? Its so good because they leave the options open for you to form your own fanficcy thoughts! There is SO MUCH of that! The characters’s AI wandering around the town doing random stuff and occasionally bumping into each other and having a short emoticon conversation like in the sims. That’s just so weirdly theraputic to watch, its like watching an aquarium?? And so many fanfic ideas when the ‘conversation’ is something interesting with an interesting combination of characters. What would happen if Porcoline flirted with Leon! What exactly was forte doing carrying that melon? SO MANY IDEAS!! And then like... i DO wish that you could do more stuff with the characters when you’re paired up, but its still really cute and friendshippy to just be paired up while doing everything, even the characters never aknowledge it or join in. You can imagine what would happen if they did, cos they have such well-developed personalities! It feels like having a fun afternoon with two of your friends doing [insert thing here], and then when you pair up with just one character you kinda somehow feel its a bit more intimate and wanna impress them?? like, I know now that characters dont gain any friendship points for fighting together even though fighting together is the one thing they actually can do together. But I still just HAVE to go find my two faves and fight together with them! Every time! Whether its a plot event or exploring together or collecting items together! porcoline, help me go pick mushrooms, u is the chef~! It would be so cool if they got given passive skills that had bonuses to certain things and levelled up as their friendship increases!! Like Porcoline actually does increase the probability of food items dropping from monsters. And just AAAAAA why do I have to go grab a character and pair up before I do work, even when I know the game doesnt aknowledge anything thats happening with gameplay. You give me the opportunity to put anyone in my party when their schedule is free, and even if there is ABSOLUTELY NO BOON TO THIS CTION I still wanna sit outside arthur’s office like a lovesick puppy waiting to give him his morning packed lunch and then take him with me to till the farm and craft eyeglasses. And I wanna take Dylas to go fishing!! I was so lucky once that I arrived at the beach when his Daily Randomized Action actually was fishing, and I could pretend we were fishing together with friendship~! He doesnt fish too when he’s in your party when you fish :P And then the only actual interaction that they do have is sometimes giving you gifts when you talk to them, same as when you talk to them when theyre sitting as static npcs in their house. But AGAIN it just makes me fanfic and roleplay that me and this character are having a fun day doing [action] and then what silly antics would occur if they gave me [randomized present] at this moment! And sometimes the choice of dialogue and present clashes hilariously, and sometimes it works so well to make it extra heartwarming! like Porcoline gave me a present on HIS OWN BIRTHDAY! i came along and gave him is present and he gave me one back, its like NOOOOO U R TOO NICE THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS!! And i know it was just randomized chance but it was so in-character that it made me smile! Also I know that any extra presents you give them after the first present don’t make any difference to your friendship points, but I felt so bad that I didn’t have anything Doug likes for his birthday so I gave him like five neutral gifts. And AGAIN the game doesnt actually aknowledge when you give someone a weapon you’ve fully built up to level 10 but I always feel so happy doing that with my main weapon when i gain a new one, i have to give it to someone else who could use it. Porco had my super strong gale edge that I won from the first harvest competition and used for half the game, and its so neat that they actually do use the weapon you give them! WE STRONGE DUAL BLADE BUDDIES BEING STRONGE! (tho then I managed to craft the leek blades that are super good for porco so now he’s got those) And BTW its so funny cute that Porcoline has a self-healing ‘spell’ that’s literally just him eating a sandwich mid-battle. As far as I know he’s the only npc who can mimic the player’s item-using animation, nobody has an actual inventory when theyre travelling with you. Oh and Clorica can do the same but different! She can mimic the player’s sleeping action and fall asleep on the ground to recover her HP. I love in-character npc-only variants of skills, thats such a cute idea! Tho I kinda wish I could hack them onto my character to replace the default Cure, lol! Oh and AAAAA I like.. skipped the entirety of Fall?? I hit 8 hearts with Arthur at the beginning and didn’t realise that the game glitches out and won’t let you confess if the character is part of a Town Event. Arthur had one dialogue line in Forte’s quest to ride an elephant, so he didnt show up when he asked to meet me and I thought I’d been stood up but then he acted like I’D stood him up?? And he was stuck in a dialogue loop of ‘I have something to tell you now- I CANT TALK RIGHT NOW’ and then when the town event ws over he was mad at me and wouldnt accept a second confession until he hit 9 hearts. So I literally did nothing every day for a month but hang with arthur and hug him and give him gifts, blazing through to 9 hearts at ridiculous stubborn speed! i felt so bad that all the other characters are sad you havent talked to them in 15 days :P But I was happy that I finally got a second chance to confess PRECISELY on the 1st of Winter, and we had heartwarming cuddles in the freshly fallen snow. And then i was too tired from staying up all night romancing a fictional taxkeeper so I saved the game and passed out. OH, but not until after I added Arthur to my party and just skipped around the snowy town with him for ten minutes! I gave him an umbrella and pretended the two characters were having a romantic walk underneath it. I AM SO ON THE SHIPPING TRAIN, MY GUYS! I cant believe I came here for the two monster boys and got attatched to mr normal nerdman prince before I even had a chance to see either of their events :P I wanted to maybe try seeing all the relationship events with all the batchelors but I just felt so guilty like I was cheating on arthur, cos he was the one I picked first... Man, i shoulda saved picking a boyfriend til the endgame and then made three savefiles to see them all :P BUT I AM STILL HAPPY WITH ARTHUR!!! soft man, walking hug nerd in a snuggie my character’s dream boy When a game can provoke such attatchment to the love interests in a completely asexual player then u kno u done rite NOBODY IS SEXY BUT EVERYBODY IS SOMEONE I WANNA SEE SMILING Let me resolve your plotline arthur I want you to have a happy marriage You can hug all my pet monsters and i’ll make you turnip stew every morning and AAAAAA I love learning what everyone loves, i love that arthur is one of the ones with many different fave presents. He likes turnips and new spectacles and cute fluffy things! And Dylas likes fish and carrots and milk he has THREE FAVOURITE FOODS, what a cutie!! And Dolce likes tea and sweets and hot chocolate aka THE PERFECT FUSION OF BOTH. And also she’s started liking medicine and doctor-related gifts after being adopted by the cute doctor couple, its so sweet she’s aspiring to be like them!! And porcoline eats literally all my cooking crafting successes and I wouldnt have it any other way!! and AAAA you can give people HATS and they WEAR YOUR HATS so you can see arthur actually change glasses when you give him new ones and porco wears ribbons on his hat that already exists and these two have been my party for LIKE FOREVER and I love them and i totally headcanon arthur seeing porcoline like a dad since they started working together! He has sad dialogues about how he had a bad relationship with the king and how he was raised entirely by servants, so porcoline reminds him of that. And cute stories like how when he was working late at night he walked outside his door and there was a mysterious homecooked meal out of nowhere. yeah porcoline TOTALLY made a midnight snack and just forgot not to eat it, suuuuure! porco is always trying to trick him into taking care of himself, its so damn sweet!! And you get similar dialogues from everyone else working at the restaurant and just GAHHH forever headcanoning arthur and dylas as Official Adopted Members Of The De Saint-Coquille Noble Bloodline. I wish they had more interactions together tho, even if they arent like brothers its odd that two people working together each day dont talk much about each other. BUT SERIOUSLY porco is like.. he adopted a friggin horse monster and THE PRINCE OF THE COUNTRY. Sorry king u messed up dadding, he is mine now. Also: the wild wilderness of a monster temple is no place for a young boy. U come gain some employment as a well-paid waiter and also my son! I ain’t care that you’re slightly a unicorn! THEYRE ALL JUST SUCH NICE PEOPLE AAA I wanna be like ‘plz let me marry your son’ to porcoline, i wanna join the fam as a daughter in law. I’m not REMOTELY interested in being the princess, I just wanna be a new member of the restaurant peoples!! Aaaaa I cant stop rambling about how much i love this game and these characters!! And I;ve only even really started befriending this small chunk of the characters, who knows if I’ll get even more rambley about the others!!!! I just love love love that you can put them in your party at any time and drag them along to do everything and PRETEND WE ARE HAVING FAMILY BONDING ACTIVITIES BECAUSE I ADORE YOU ALL
