What about headcanons for Alex? I understand that you are not a writer, I just thought that you probably have them :)
we actually write a lot!!! we're just a little shy about our work JDKDJDKD we have a ton of fics in our notes :•) i LOVE writing out headcannons though i would do this for hours if you let me lmao
- okay so obligatory first one is that alex is scene through and through
- he LOVES horror movies. he used to not like them but he got roped into a scary movie night with amy and jessica and now its one of his favorite genres.
- i think hes actually a pretty good writer, too. i think he wrote marble hornets as an ironic "supposed to be cringy" commentary on romcoms, but obviously it never got that far because the dude got slender'd and started taking it too seriously
- sorry not sorry for the brilex. alex calls brian his star. im right
- alex draws on his shoes and pants with sharpie when hes bored
- hes just an all around dork. he definitely makes puns and has a dry sarcastic sense of humor. take guess whats battery powered for example
- he jay and seth have video game marathons. alex knows speedrun strats for SURE. hes a backseat gamer tho.
- he likes hanging out in the woods to chill out. brian pushed him into a creek once and he never got over it.

I run a ytp sanctuary...yea a lot of them that once flourished 15 years ago tread close to endangerment now, so we do what we can to keep them happy and active here...oh look, that ones firin his lazar!! Haha he loves to "blahhhgh". It's a sign of contentment. We used to house them with the Kings but we found it was safer to seperate their enclosures on account of the threat of getting dinner blasted. Hm? Oh yeah thats Shaggys cage, he needs to be kept seperate to thrive since he keeps realizing we're the sherrif cuz we're out here and hes in there

When you’re trying a new colouring style…,
ANYWAY, Wu Spinjitzu!!
Rambling & screenshot under cut
I’ve been doodling Wu a lot in general lately, this was a piece from my sketchbook that i digitalised.
I just love him so much, hes so so so so tragic and sad and sweet and and.. i wish i could squish him and study him under a microscope for scientific purposes.
I also wish we had more Wu moments especially with family (like brotherly bonding and uncle-nephew bonding) his powers etc etc, missed opportunities i swear…
Here’s the screenshot i got inspired by btw

would love a list of low energy enrichment activities to try with cats. im always looking for more ways to be involved with my cat but she is 3 and very high energy and after a long day i often dont have the spoons to chase her around with a toy while she finds new exciting hiding spots to look at it from. this makes me sad :( i dont want her to be understimulated
Food-based enrichment:
Feeder toys are a favorite! But these carry the drawback of requiring cleaning afterwards, so calculate that into your spoons. Some of them are machine washable, so that may be an option if you've got a dishwasher.
Snuffle mats - another favorite, these also require the occasional clean but don't need to be cleaned every time you use them. You can make your own pretty easily. Or, hell, just grab a very cheap bath mat from a dollar store. Your cat won't know the difference.
Scatter feeding - literally just. Throw a handful of treats or kibble on the floor or down the stairs. Literally, that's it. Calculate clean-up into your spoons because cats aren't reliable vacuums. But it keeps them busy for a few minutes.
Toy based enrichment:
Get a cardboard box. Crinkle up some brown wrapping paper or whatever cheap paper you've got on hand and put it in the box. Congrats, you've now combined your cats two favorite things in the world: boxes and paper. For extra fun, add catnip (or silvervine or whatever your cat's drug of choice is), toys, or treats.
Ripple Rug: this is actually a specific product. It's literally a square of carpet or rug with velcro on the bottom that attaches to ANOTHER square of carpet or rug. It's fairly stiff. The idea is that cats can dive into it and make their own little tunnels. My cats LOVE it. You can probably recreate it quite cheaply using cheap rugs or carpet, tbh.
Cat crinkle mats: again, this is something fairly easily made at home. You get some cheap crinkly plastic and sew it into two old washclothes or something similar. Congrats. You now have a little mat your cats can sit on, bat around, and crinkle. You can also just buy them in multiple sizes. Many have catnip in them too.
Paper bags: cats just love paper bags. Be sure you remove the handles to make sure no one gets their head stuck. Most cats entertain themselves pretty well with bags.
Cat springs: those little plastic springs are a favorite, and so are those cheap rabbit-fur covered mouse toys.
Cat race track toys: another favorite.
Cardboard cat scratchers: the cardboard ones require MORE cleaning because they leave little bits of cardboard all over the place, but it is kind of nice that you can just throw them out when your cat is done. Any scratcher is good, though. I've listed cardboard for ease of clean-up and because it's a very popular material for cats.
Cat tunnels: like bags and boxes, cats just love tunnels.
I'm not a big fan of laser pointers or robotic toys. I haven't seen many cases of light chasing disorders in cats compared to dogs, but it's an issue enough that I don't readily recommend them. I also don't really recommend robotic toys because a lot of them make noises that cats don't like. If your cat enjoys these things, congrats; I just don't find them universally popular enough to really recommend. But I had to mention them, because if I didn't, my notes would be full of 'but what about Product X!!".
I've tried to keep this list to low cost toys and activities. There are other things you can do, like installing wall shelves or getting a big cat tree, but these things are more likely to be expensive, either in terms of money, time, or energy. I wanted to focus on low cost activities that I felt were more accessible to disabled folks.
