Why Regular Wellness Exams Are Essential for Your Pet’s Health

At The Ark Animal Clinic, we believe that prevention is better than cure, and that’s why regular wellness exams are a cornerstone of our veterinary services. These routine check-ups are not just about giving your pet a clean bill of health—they’re an essential part of ensuring your furry friend lives a long, happy, and healthy life.

What Are Wellness Exams?

Wellness exams are comprehensive health check-ups that allow us to assess your pet’s overall condition. During these exams, our experienced veterinarians perform a thorough physical examination, checking your pet from nose to tail. We look for any signs of potential health issues, assess their weight, skin, coat, teeth, and overall behavior, and make recommendations tailored to your pet’s specific needs.

Why Are They Important?

Regular wellness exams are crucial because they help detect any underlying health problems early, when they are easier (and often less expensive) to treat. Many conditions, such as dental disease, obesity, and even heart issues, can develop slowly without obvious symptoms. By scheduling regular exams, you give us the opportunity to catch these issues before they become serious, ensuring your pet remains in optimal health.

What to Expect During a Wellness Exam

During a wellness exam at The Ark Animal Clinic, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your pet’s health. We’ll discuss their diet, exercise routine, and any changes in behavior you may have noticed. We may also recommend vaccinations, blood tests, or other diagnostics to ensure your pet is protected against common diseases and conditions.

Tailored Care for Your Pet

Every pet is unique, and so are their health needs. That’s why we tailor each wellness exam to your pet’s specific age, breed, and lifestyle. Whether you have a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a senior pet, our team is here to provide the best possible care every step of the way.

Book Your Pet’s Wellness Exam Today

Don’t wait until there’s a problem—schedule a wellness exam for your pet at The Ark Animal Clinic today. Regular check-ups are the key to a long, healthy life for your furry companion. Contact us to book an appointment and give your pet the gift of good health.

abby’s pov

walking into the seattle hospital, abby greeted everyone, hands in her white coats pockets as she entered her personal office.

Dr. Abigail Anderson

was written on the black door name slip, unlocking her door she slid her coat off, placing it behind her rolling chair before taking a seat herself, she starting on all the paperwork for surgeries she had to confirm for. a soft knock from her door only a few minutes after she walked in.

“come in” her eyes never adverting from her paper and signatures “hey abs, i got you coffee” owen chimed in, placing her favorite black coffee on the table near the doctor. “oh hey owen, thank you, how you been?” she finally focused her attention on her ex fiancé who unfortunately is neurosurgeon at the same facility.

“i’ve been the same, just curious, manny is having an engagement party next week on sunday, he finally proposed to ms. scientist” owen let out a chuckle, desperately trying to get his ex back. “yeah of course i’ll come, haven’t seen that pendejo in months” she crossed her arms, mans spreading in her chair.

“would you be wanting to come with me? yanno, for old times sake” he left out a breathy chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck “well, i was thinking if manny will let me, bring my close friend along instead” she only used close friend not wanting to assume your guys situation at the moment. seeing as owen clearly tensed up in his chair, he sat up straight.

“oh who’s the friend?” he could only curiously ask, not knowing what abby has been doing ever since she broke things off with him “her name is y/n, she’s pretty young but i think everyone would love her, she has the best humor i’ve ever seen” the muscular woman clearly swooning over the girl, even just saying her name gave her butterflies in her stomach.

“oh a girl” owen relaxed a bit, not seeing the very indicating signs that his ex was now fascinated with someone else, a woman. “i don’t think manny would mind at all, she’s probably harmless” he would’ve continued on the conversation until his pager started to go off “that’s my sign to see myself out, see you sunday abs” his gaze lingered a little longer before he left her office.

abby pulled out her phone, her big arms leaning on her desk as she carelessly scrolled through all your social media pages. abby being older didn’t understand that tiktok showed who was able to view your page, the doctor repeatedly watching all your videos, biting down on her bottom lip.

one thing about the cardiologist is that she loved to take things slow, first kiss on the third date, confirm the mutual feelings for each other, she will take her time to make sure its the perfect day to ask you to be hers.

abby hates having intimate moments over the phone, it’s classless unlike her who will take you out on the most magical date, wait till the moonlight is shining on your face, ocean waves flowing so heavily she has to give you her coat to ask you to be her girlfriend.

then theres you … who is literally the most impatient, impulsive girl anyone knows, how else did you get majority of your tattoos anyways? and how else did you end up with three cats that you had to sneak into your apartment to avoid the repulsive pet fee. you’ve gotten into god knows how many fights and arguments with random people because they looked at your loved ones the wrong way.

polar opposites

—

abby dialed your number into her phone, waiting as it rang for the first, second and third time before you picked up with “doctor? is there an emergency” you sarcastically gasped causing abby to snort “yes there is actually, i need you to be my date for my friends engagement party” she had a toothy smile over the phone, your voice already having her in a foolish daze.

“and how could i ever say no to that? it’s a date lady hulk” god that made her die of laughter “lady hulk? you’re so creative with your words baby” you swore up and down if she continued calling you these pet names you would get down on your knees and suck her str-“will you pick me up?” you spoke up “of course, i’m a lady, i’ll see you sunday and i’ll text you the time when i find out ok?” her little black box going off in the pocket of her fitted scrubs “sounds good to me doc” “bye sweetheart.”

she smiled oh so sweetly before hanging up the call, she could swear that she could listen to you talk nonstop and never get bored. getting up and wrapping the coat around her she dashed into the patients room “he’s having a stroke, close the curtains.”

—

sunday came creeping by sooner or later, abby who was getting dressed in a fitted long sleeve beige sweater that showed off her arms so well, black slacks with a belt wrapped around and her boots, her har as always in her signature braided ponytail.

she wrapped a cartier watch around her wrist, god she looked so expensive. abby grabbed her engagement present for her friends and headed out her house to swoop you up finally.

parked outside of your apartment she took her phone out to text her pinned contact, y/n 💕. (shes a old give her a break)

—

Hey, I’m outside.

coming! putting on my shoes loser

—

she watched as you exited the apartment complex, she couldn’t keep her damn eyes off of you, admiring every aspect of your outfit to the way your black skirt fitted your waist, your grey sweater that fell off your shoulder to the stunning way you layered your silver jewelry.

silver, got it.

she thought to herself, doing her usual thing and opening the door for you, the smell of your florally perfume hitting her like a drug that she can’t get enough of. “you look so so beautiful y/nn” she softly licked her lips, basically drooling over you.

you couldn’t even lie, you were doing the exact same thing, your jaw wanting to drop to the floor with how she had her sleeves rolled up halfway on her arms, god her arms. “you literally look tasty” you giggled causing her to grin.

—

y/n’s pov

it had been almost ten minutes since you and abby arrived at manny’s, abby having a glass of very expensive liquor in her hand while having you cling onto her other arm like you were showing her off, she loved the way you were wrapped around her.

“so y/n are you in school? majoring in anything?” owen brought up, he was burning holes into your face ever since you walked in holding abby like she was yours. “um no, i’m not in school, i just decided it wasn’t for me i think i rather just explore different things before i settle into one thing for the rest of my life” nora and mel were literally in awe of you, they loved that you were so open and honest.

“oh so what is it that you’re interested in doing?” mel smiled, genuinely wondering unlike owen who wanted to tear you limb from limb. “i think if i do want to school for something it would be veterinarian school, i adore animals.”

abby couldn’t keep her eyes off you, gently rubbing her fingers on your arm with a loving smile across her freckled face. “so do you work?” owen butted in once more “yeah i work at a small coffee shop” you gave him a tight lipped smile causing him to snicker “abby you found her at a coffee shop?” he remarked, he fucking hated that he would rather be with someone of working class than him.

abby was quick to defend you but you were quicker “listen white guy, not all of us our privileged enough to even afford to go to school, i will beat your ass if you keep talking” you jabbed your finger in his chest, everyone around chiming in to calm down the situation.

“oh please you’re the size of my fucking arm i can throw you around like a rag doll” abby pushed you behind her, grabbing the collar of owens button up, nostrils flaring as she threw him against the wall causing him to lose his breath for a minute. “keep talking owen and i will rip your god damn head off” she yelled before manny had to get in between the both of them.

“owen it’s time to go, guys the party is over just go home” he sighed defeated that owen managed to ruin a important day for him.

—

abby had taken you to her place, still in complete anger from what owen did. you sat on the edge of her bed as she undressed into something more comfortable, she walked back towards you, cupping your face in her hands making you look up at her, her thumbs softly caressing your face “i am so so sorry for what he did, i would have never let him touched you ever.” you held one of her hands that was holding your face and smiled up at her. “abs, i’m not mad at you i swear, plus why was he even coming at me?” you farrowed your brows in genuine confusion.

she sighed heavily, getting down on her knees in front of you, her hand still holding yours. “he’s my ex fiancé, he was jealous of you, why do you think i left him? he always had outbursts like that and i just couldn’t.” she shook her head disappointed “ew you were almost married to a man?” you looked at her in disgusted before turning into a ball of laughter “he’s so ugly, why?” you were curious “i can’t even tell you myself hun, here, i’ll grab you some of my clothes and you can stay here for the night ok?” you felt your stomach burst out in fireworks.

staying at her house? oh my god.

AUTHORS NOTE: yall … anyways fuck owen and idk anything about working at a hospital so if my info is wrong DONT COME AT ME!!

Purple's fic master list

a thousand ways to call you mine Bucktommy | 14.2K | E

Buck thinks he could happily live off this; trading breaths through gentle presses of their lips. It’s everything Buck wants. And Tommy kisses him back so softly, like Buck is something to be cherished. Then, after a few extra chaste kisses to his mouth, Buck pulls back and smiles, a cheeky grin growing on his face as he remembers what started this. “Now I have to come up with a name for you,” he announces. “I’m sure you’ll think of something,” Tommy replies, unaware of what he’s just gotten himself into.

(Or a 10+1 fic where Buck tries to find the perfect pet name to call his boyfriend)

Cow Eyes Buddie | 2.2K | G

Buck gets the call on a Saturday. He’s sat at the kitchen table, delving into some strange corner of the internet where he’s apparently discovered that seahorses hold each others' tails when they swim and that cows have best friends and that Eddie’s big brown gorgeous eyes remind him of cow eyes and maybe if they were cows then they’d still be best friends— And then he gets the call. His phone starts ringing just as he’s learning about polar bears giving each other nose boops. He reaches out and grabs the phone off the counter, still so lost in his deep dive that he doesn’t even check the number that’s calling. “Hello?” “Is this Evan Buckley?” A professional-sounding woman answers. It’s then that Buck promptly forgets whatever facts he just learnt and instead feels a familiar ache creeping its way into his chest. “That’s, uh— that’s me,” he manages to get out. “You’re listed as Eddie Diaz’ emergency contact, is that right?”

(Or the 'Eddie's in hospital and Buck tries not to break down' fic except its actually just a cute silly little fic)

i thought it would be me Bucktommy | T | 3.7K

Buck really thought he would be the one to get hurt first. He’s pretty sure the universe is out to get him, and he’s had a near-death experience every other year, so he really expected he’d be the one in the hospital. He should have known his bad luck would lead to Tommy being in that position instead—because that hurts more.

(Or Tommy's in hospital, Buck worries, and a nurse won't let him see him)

Tripped and Fell Buddie | E | 5.8K | PWP

“Buck?” Comes Eddie’s voice from the hall.  Oh fuck. Buck really should have paid attention to the clock. Before Buck can think about how to get himself out of this one, Eddie appears in the doorway. Buck sees his eyes darken and the way he clenches his jaw.  “Buck.” Eddie’s voice is so neutral and controlled. Oh, Buck has royally fucked up.  “I— um.” Buck swallows, his mouth awfully dry as he tries to come up with some explanation for his insubordination. He could say it was an accident. He, uh, tripped? He can see Eddie already tenting in his trousers, so he can’t be in too much trouble, right? “Did I say to stop?” Eddie questions.

(Or the boys get a new dildo, and Buck can't wait to use it, literally. Eddie comes home and deals with his misbehaviour.)

running from myself (and the memories of you) Buddie | 12K | T

He wants to tell Eddie everything, he wants to tell him that he’s struggling, that he can’t sleep without being plagued with nightmare after nightmare. He wants to tell him that the worst ones are when Eddie’s lying on the road reaching out towards him and he’s just stuck watching, when he can taste Eddie’s blood on his tongue, feel it splattered across his face. He wants to tell him that when he wakes up the blood is still there, so he throws up in the toilet until the taste of copper is forced out of his mouth and he washes his face 10 times until he’s sure there’s not a drop of blood left. He just wants to tell him a random fact that he found out at 3 am when he went down the rabbit hole starting with the world's tallest skyscrapers and ending with the knowledge that most elevator close door buttons don’t actually work. But now he looks at Eddie and he just can’t help but think that he’s being a burden, that Eddie got shot and shouldn’t have to deal with him too. So instead, he runs.

(Or Buck has years of unresolved trauma and can't sleep, so he tries to literally outrun his demons instead. Luckily Eddie is there to pick up the pieces when he finally breaks.)

I'll Take Care of You Buddie | 5.1K | T

Eddie squints up at him, looking him up and down. “Are you okay? Is your leg okay?” Eddie always did see right through him. Dejected, Buck slumps against the wall, letting a small sob leave his mouth before he palms at his eyes. He shakes his head. “‘S not good,” he practically whimpers.

(Or Buck has chronic pain after the bombing, Eddie takes care of him, and it's actually super sweet and sappy because these boys are hopelessly in love)

Pancakes, kisses, and a little bit of TLC bucktommy | 4.5K | T

“Evan?” Tommy asks, his voice deep and gravelly. If it were any other day, Buck would find that incredibly attractive. Unfortunately, he isn’t able to enjoy it. Now that he’s aware of the pain in his leg, it only seems to get worse. His leg throbs; it feels like his bones are trying to bully their way out of his flesh. He clenches his eyes shut as he wills the wildfire that burns through his limb to calm down.  “‘M fine,” he gets out through a clenched jaw. Tommy squints at him, tilting his head to the side. “Evan,” he repeats in a way that Buck knows means he doesn’t believe him for a second.

(or Buck wakes up with a chronic pain flare-up the morning after, and Tommy takes care of him)

Be My Valentine? Or Something? Buddie | 5.8K | G

What to write? Should he be cliche? Ask him to be his Valentine? Or should it be more personal, more intimate? Agh, this was harder than he thought. His sister would tell him to ‘speak from the heart’, whatever that means, so he picks up the pen and writes: Eddie, Your smile makes my heart beat a little faster, and your eyes remind me of big cow eyes, but in like a good way. Love, EB P.S your hair is very floofy, pleaseee don’t cut it <3 There, he thinks, Eddie will know it was him without embarrassing anyone. Perfect. (Spoiler alert: Eddie does not know it was from him)

(Or a High School Valentine's Day AU featuring our favourite boys being dorks and falling in love)

Because You're Exhausting 10K | M | Please read tags and warnings in the notes

Because every day after he woke up still in pain, and he couldn’t even tell his own family (because what if I can’t be a firefighter anymore? what if they don’t let me?). And then he’s hugging Eddie and they’re welcoming him home and maybe, just maybe, for a second he believes that it won’t be so bad. Because then he was choking on his own blood staring into Bobby’s eyes thinking this is it, isn’t it? And then he woke up because damn, he always wakes up and somehow that’s always worse. And he wants to laugh at himself because how did he think, even for a moment, that anything would ever be ok? Because then he was on blood thinners and they wouldn’t let him home, and he just wanted to go home (what if I can’t be a firefighter anymore?) Because then the lawsuit happened and he just lost everything all over again. Because “You’re exhausting.”

(Or Buck's always been sad but it's post lawsuit, and Buck just can't handle it anymore)

I'm Not Going Anywhere bucktommy | 1.4K | G

The first time Evan spends the night over, Tommy panics. He panics when he wakes up in the morning, sun seeping through the gaps of the blinds. He expects to wake to a warm body wrapped around his front, Evan drooling onto his chest adorably, the way he was positioned when they went to sleep. Instead, he wakes up cold.

(Or Tommy thinks Evan doesn't want to stick around, Evan proves him wrong.)

you don't need to ask, i'll come running Buddie | 1.6K | G

Buck never thought he’d be afraid of thunder and lightning, he thought being scared was for kids and dogs startled by the loud noise. He didn’t think he could possibly be scared of a little rain. And he’s not. He’s not. Buck is not scared of thunder or lightning— okay maybe he can admit he’s a little bit scared of lightning. But Buck should definitely not be scared when he is sitting at home in the safety of his bed whilst the rain hammers down outside. He should not jump every time the sky crackles and lights up his loft. He shouldn’t be scared, but, quite frankly, he is.

(Or post-lightning strike Buck is at home during a storm, Chris thinks Buck needs a hug and Eddie thinks maybe a kiss or two, too.)

Darling, you look perfect bucktommy | 2.6K | G

Tommy just hums in agreement, continuing to sway their bodies. They let the gentle melody of the music fill the house, dancing together softly, simply content to stay close to each other, letting their bodies speak. They breathe each other in, Buck indulging in the warmth of Tommy wrapped around him as he’s guided gracefully along with the music. Tommy pulls back slightly, stepping to the side before raising his hand that’s holding Buck’s and spinning him. A short laugh escapes Buck’s mouth when he returns in front of Tommy who just smiles at him so brightly.

(Or Buck wakes up at Tommy's the morning after the wedding, Tommy cooks breakfast, and then they dance in the living room (aka it's really soft and fluffy))

[TIME SENSITIVE] GOFUNDME LINK

Hi everyone, my name is Chase. I am creating this gofundme in hopes to help me, my fiancee Lily, my best friend Zoey, and our two kitties Mango and Cocoa escape out currently falling apart apartment by September.

The history with this apartment has always been sketchy, we learned in late 2022 our lease was fraudulent as our previous landlord hadn't disclosed to us that he was subleasing. When we suddenly got a notice that we might be facing an eviction, despite paying rent on time every single month, we ended up learning be was pocketing the money and ran. The property owners were kind enough to keep us in the apartment and sign a real lease, however unfortunately getting in contact with them regarding issues has been more difficult than it should be.

Since October, we have been dealing with broken windows, a broken front door (which only got fixed in May!) broken shower tiles and a clogged tub drain, shotty lighting, and other damage in the apartment. We also learned during that cold snap in January our apartment is not weatherproof for cold weather, it was around 30 F in my room near one of the broken windows before we had to tape everything up. This apartment has become a safety concern for both us and the cats, and despite repeatedly calling and emailing we have receive only one repair since October.

While I know we are more than set to cover rent, extra fees like pet fees and move in fees are a little harder to cover. I recently started a new job and went through about a month without pay, draining my checking savings and maxing out my credit card, I am still recovering from this slowly. My fiancee is frequently in chronic pain so working any longer than she does would take a toll on her, and when Zoey moved up it proved to be harder to find a job than she expected, so for a little while she wasn't able to help much with rent.

This combined with emergency expenses (hospital visit, vet visit, major repairs, etc) has put us in a place where we need a bit of extra help getting us into a nicer and safer place.

We are currently lined up for a couple apartments in our neighborhood, so as soon as we get confirmation we can move forward with one of these places we will be set.

Box

Adrian picks up Blanca.

[Pet Safety Masterlist]

Content/ warning: BBU, implied past noncon, implied claustrophobia.

She wasn't in the shower.

She was sitting on the bed, half dressed, only in black shorts, arms wrapped around herself, face buried in a white T-shirt she hadn't put on. Facility clothes, instead of the hospital gown.

Adrian could see the healing bruises on her body, yellow and green, slowly fading against her skin. Fresh marks, on her wrists and upper arms, where someone had held her down.

'Quality assurance'.

He was sick.

She seemed to notice him entering. She didn't move, but she whimpered, hugging herself even tighter.

"They're gone," Adrian said, trying to sound reassuring. As if it could be of any help. "They're gone and they won't come back."

She didn't reply. The muscles in her arms were trembling around the shirt she held, her shoulders rigidly tense. She was hiding.

From what?

The handlers were gone; she'd managed to shower afterwards, as her wet hair proved . From him? She'd been in this state when he entered, and the doors here were fully soundproof. From-

He looked around the room, behind himself, and understood with sudden horror. There was a huge crate standing against the wall next to the door. Bare large enough to fit a tiny person her, curled up. Soft padding lined its walls and the lid leaning next to it, some slits for ventilation left in near the top. A small oxygen tank with a mask rested next to it. Adrian's department had insisted on adding them when shipping.

A shipping box.

She'd been in one before. More than once. He didn't even know how often.

Neither did she.

The thought was terrifying.

On a whim, Adrian opened the door and half lifted, half pushed the box out onto the corridor. It was heavy, even empty. Still, it was way too small considering what it was meant for.

For a second or two, he caught himself fantasising about finding an emergency axe and smashing the box to pieces right there on the Clinic corridor. Shit. He didn't know how long he'd be able to do his job any longer.

But that was secondary right now.

What mattered was her.

"The box is gone. You don't have to see it any more."

This time, she moved, just the slightest stir, and he caught a glimpse of her gray eye peeking out from behind the white shirt in her hands.

"Outside is not gone," she whispered. Still, he could see her shoulders relax slightly. "You're lying to me, Adrian Delgado."

He bit his lip, remembering his words in the car. 'You'll be safe', he'd said. Promised. He should've known better.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

She laughed a little, muffled by the shirt still in front of her face. "It's okay. It's bad to lie to people. Pets can't handle the truth, anyway."

"I don't know anyone, who can handle quite as much as you can," Adrian said quietly.

There was silence hanging between them for a moment, as she seemed to process it, and stow it away.

"Are you... Are you here to make me go into that -" Her voice started even, but broke off mid-sentence, a soft whine buried in the shirt.

"No," Adrian said decidedly. "No, you won't have to go into a box ever again."

Another lie, he realised. Another promise he couldn't be sure to keep.

"Right now," he corrected himself. "I can't talk about forever, I'm sorry. But for now, for while you're under my care, there will be no box."

"Yet there were handlers," she said. "There were batons, and threats, and - black shorts and white shirt."

He shook his head. "You won't go back to the facility."

She swallowed, the shirt finally sliding out her hands onto the bed in front of her. Her gaze wandered over to the window, frosted glass 'not to disturb patients'. She had no chance to know where she was. She had to take their words for it, everyone's, the handlers', the nurses', the doctors'. Or his.

"Where am I going, then?" Her voice was even, eye resting on him again, assessing.

He did his best to meet her gaze, not looking anywhere else, especially not down at her bare chest, pushed out the tiniest bit. She was in pain, injured, afraid, and still posing as favourable as possible.

When he didn't react for a moment, she slid a hand down the side of her breast, a soft smile tugging at her lip. "You may look, Adrian Delgado. It's what I'm for."

He shook his head, throat dry. This was going to be a challenge, in so many ways. He wasn't ready for it.

"I like looking at your face," he said. It wasn't what she wanted, but it didn't seem to bother her much, not with the other question still floating between them.

Where am I going?

"Home," he said finally. "I'm taking you home."

[confluence-and-drift]

Just learned that my Mum had their cat taken to see the vet as 'he seemed a bit more lazy'...during the day. This is a longhaired cat and the weather has been getting hot. Apparantly he emptied his bowels and bladder all over my brother's car and I'm just sighing because when I asked them to describe what's wrong with him, he genuinely sounds absolutely fine. It was only after I kept asking as to what part of that behaviour actually worried them that they admitted it was because Mum had just been "panicking a bit". I'm more annoyed with my siblings, since we know our mother has a moderate anxiety disorder that she may or may not be taking her medication for, what the hell are my younger brother and sister doing just taking my Mum's word for it and stressing poor Totoro (that is indeed the cat's name xD) out so much over him having a few too many lazy naps in the sun. Poor wee guy.

Relevant background information; a few years ago, the cat had a cold and my Mum freaking out along with my siblings and parents knowing nothing about animals (this is thier first pet and they're both a bit dumb and prone to anxiety; a bad combination) almost had Totoro put down as they took him to an emergency hospital in the middle of the night during a weekend designed so as to ease an actively-dying animal's passing. Thankfully, my brother lost his nerve and wanted to just see "if he somehow pulls through", never realising that he never actually got a diagnosis since they'd never been to vet's before and didn't realise what kind of hospital they were in. It was around now, after Totoro had been morphined out of his brains to ease any pain that I learn of the situation and calm everyone down and the day after we took him to an actual vet it turned out he was already completely recovered, and enjoying all of the extra attention. And I know this time is nowhere near a serious a situation this time around, but it annoys me, what are they even doing? I had a sneaking suspicion that they just went along with Mum's panicked demands because it was less stressful than trying to argue with her. I've flat out told them that next time Totoro might have something wrong with him, contact me first. I mean, I do feel bad for my Mum as well, what they should have done is calm her down and comfort her, she obviously was worried he was actively dying or something (Iirc, a couple months ago her friend lost a cat too), but I also feel bad for Totoro going through all of that for no reason -_-;

Peeta’s journal-the Mellark interviews WIP

October 13 75 ADD

I think of reporting Katniss stalking me but if she isn't allowed to stalk me she might get more violent then sending me a bag of raw morphling. Coin is angry enough at me for trying to breath in the clean air of the surface and who sniched on me? Katniss!

A hypothetical emerges in my head, what if the star crossed lie was real. What if a lover actually was hijacked it would probably be torment, for the unhijacked lover, the lover would see the physical body but not the mind. The memories of the mutt would be tantalizingly close to the persons former self but never no matter the effort be retrievable. The mutt would insult the person and have agonizing episodes in which the target attacks the mutt and the target could do nothing to help the mutt. They would select countless cures none of which would work. If the mutt even breathed the same way as they once did false hope would be raised. If Katniss were the one hijacked I would probably have avoided her with a 10 ft pole, Peeta probably would have found a fresh pair of lips pretty fast based on what I know about him. I believe that the memory of my train of lovers died in the fires that destroyed the mind of Peeta. It 's fortunate that she has her lover Gale, her family pet, Prim and her mother. Though assassinations by mutts created via hijacking rely on brute strength. Katniss is too small to be a good assassin mutt.

Katniss thinks "not true I would make a great assassin mutt!"

How does Finnick handle it? Though Annie's mind is reasonably intact for someone who underwent capital mutation but I rarely see her in public. In private she is attached to finnick and is prone to mutt episodes where she begins attacking anyone who comes near Finnick she also thrashes her quarters. She also kills rats its a good thing she does not know about the veins of 13 I would have to take a longer route to avoid her quarters.

Katniss shakes her head while reading Peeta's description of his old self and feels guilty but sje remembers that Peeta had given up on himself as well. She remembers why she was afraid of falling in love and realizes that her fears happened to her. Peeta likely would have recieved multiple hallucination attacks almost like ripping a bandaid from a great wound and he would have resisted the pain. In order to find his memories he needed to be in the hospital where his wounds could be allowed to bleed. After all how was Peeta supposed to work if he was having episodes? Katniss feels tears welling up from the description of Peeta's imaginary lover, she puts the book down opened on Peeta's chest, and rests Peeta on top of her, and closes her teary eyes putting her head on top of Peeta's head anchoring her chin. She let's the tears fall on Peeta's hair. It takes 7 minutes before she resumes reading

The airing of the propos

The propos of my discussions with Victorius wrestlers are made into a propo called "The Mellark Interviews." The propos celebrate the rebels who are now on verge of victory over the capital. There are 5 propos with footage from the districts, the rebel ship enterprise, Brad grinders wrestling den, footage of the escape of Harry wenton from the capital jail. For the propos I conducted additional interviews so we had 30 minutes for each. The Additional footage was filmed by Vesuvius Jones, who also mixed the old footage.

3. Alexander Finnigan 4. Prim

Regretfully Finnick and Annie Odair have refused all offers to join our cartel. Annie is miserable from the effects of her mutation by the capital and could use morphling to cope with the effects of her hijacking. Finnick must also be stressed from being the lover of an assassin mutt. When I visited them they refused to join but I felt like helping them, I told them about the swimming pool in the mining section.

Katniss looks at Finnick beaming with pride at him for not joining the cartel.

Mermay Day 3: Lake. Part 1 (Overview)

The Yunmeng Jiang delegation arrived on boat, traveling down the rivers to the lake at the foot of Lan Wangji’s home, making them the last sect to arrive. Lan Wangji hadn’t looked forward to picking them up, but when given the choice between them and driving to the airport for the Jin, he’d chose this every time.

Half of the disciples stood behind Jiang Yanli as she greeted him. “We thank Gusu Lan for its hospitality,” she said and bowed. She seemed sincere, unlike most other foreign disciples he’d met. They only complained about the summer lost to the stuffy rules of Lan Wangji’s sect as if their chaos was so much more preferable.

“We can depart in a moment,” Jiang Yanli said. “My brothers are just—”

A shout interrupted her. “You’re not fucking staying!”

For a moment, Jiang Yanli’s expression fell. “I apologize. My younger brother wants to stay but must return to Lotus Pier.”

“Jiang Wanyin is an invited guest,” Lan Wangji stated. The Jiang had yet to proclaim a sect heir, so it was to be assumed their children got the same education.

“My other brother,” Jiang Yanli clarified.

Lan Wangji hadn’t heard of a third sibling, but no matter their status, they ought to be invited as well. When he told Jiang Yanli that, she only shook her head. “A-Xian cannot learn as we do.”

“You fucker!” the shout rang out again. Lan Wangji frowned in disapproval, but before he could voice that such behavior would not be tolerated at the Cloud Recesses, a massive shadow turned beside them.

Water ghoul, his instinct said, but before he had the chance to engage in combat, the shadow emerged, revealing the head of a teenage boy. His eyes were big and his teeth looked sharp enough to rip out Lan Wangji’s throat.

“Shijie,” the boy whined. “I want to stay.”

Just as he complained, another boy dressed in regal purple emerged from the boat, although he was half-drenched. “Don’t listen to him, a-Jie. A-Die said he had to go back, the Lan don’t have the right accommodations.”

“That is very rude of the Lan,” the boy said before his eyes narrowed onto Lan Wangji. Many people glared at him, but this felt more like a tiger watching prey. “You! Lan-gege, won’t you let me stay because you think of eating my delicate flesh?”

The boy pulled at his collar, absolutely indecent, as Jiang Wanyin hissed for him to stop.

“We are vegetarian,” Lan Wangji replied.

“There you go! They probably won’t harvest my organs either. I can stay in a bathtub or… something!” the boy exclaimed and braced his arms on the pier before pulling himself on top.

It was then that the rest of him emerged and Lan Wangji was stunned into silence. While he wore a proper shirt the color of his sect, the rest of his body was decidedly inhumane. A long dark tail sat where his legs should be.

“Jiaoren,” one of the Lan disciples breathed.

The boy grinned, too-sharp teeth glinting. “Never seen one before?” No, where would they have? They’d been hunted to near extinction. To see one, they’d need access to the highly specialized facilities dedicated to keeping them alive.

Or be rich enough to afford to buy one, they weren’t commonly regarded as human, after all.

“I belong to Yunmeng Jiang, my name is Wei Ying, courtesy Wuxian!”

“You’re my annoying brother, that’s who,” Jiang Wanyin said, promptly stepping in front of Wei Wuxian. Lan Wangji would think it rude if he didn’t see how Jiang Wanyin’s hand hovered above his sword.

“But Jiang Cheng!” Wei Wuxian complained and they were bickering again.

Lan Wangji had not expected this situation. He turned to Jiang Yanli. “I’ll have to ask my uncle what accommodations can be made for your brother.”

She seemed surprised. Whether that was the willingness to figure out a solution for the situation or the fact he accepted who, legally, couldn’t be more than a pet, as her brother, Lan Wangji couldn’t tell. He supposed it didn’t matter either as long as he got away from Wei Wuxian and his everything.

The Unexpected Start

I started working at the local hospital as a server because I was in need of a job. The pandemic was already very rough on me, and moving out from my parents’ house didn’t make it any easier. At that point, I was living at a friend’s family home. While they treated me like they would a cousin, the fact of the matter is that I was essentially on my own while taking care of my five beloved pets. I used to work at a McDonald’s nearby, but after one particularly rough night, I quit outright without a proper notice. I was out of a job for about three weeks before starting off at the hospital. I had a bit of a wild streak going on at that time, and my photo badge was proof of it. My hair was a platinum blonde with an undercut, and I was used to wearing chokers to work every day. Working at the hospital was my first time working alongside seasoned adults. What made it intimidating was the fact that I started when the town was at a state of emergency with all the hospitalizations from COVID-19. Working in a healthcare setting was definitely not an expectation of mine. I had always believed I’d stay in college, become a high school teacher, and start teaching by the time my own sister started high school herself. The pandemic changed that plan drastically. I’ve been told I was dealt a bad hand, but maybe it was the start of what I was actually meant to do. And I say maybe because I still don’t know what that ‘something’ is. Even after meeting a pair of kind eyes, I was disillusioned by the course of my own life at that point. Nothing went according to plan, and of all the places I expected to end up in, the local hospital wasn’t it – during a pandemic, no less. I knew nothing about medical residency at the time, so I genuinely figured he was just one of many medical students out and about. I ran into him a fair amount starting off, and honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he caught me staring every now and again. I couldn’t help but be smitten by that pair of welcoming eyes. Before I knew it, I had a little crush but back then, I figured it’d be a crush and nothing more. And I was fine with that. My mental health and love life were dumpster fires then, so I wasn’t at all preoccupied by it. It wasn’t until the dust had settled that I started focusing more on the resident physician I’d run into and chat with once in a while. And of course, that wouldn't be until after my first year of working in the hospital. By then, that little crush had subsided. I was so caught up with life that I had almost forgotten about it until I decided to give the man my number. It wasn’t like I had anything to lose at that point, so I figured I might as well go for it and see what happens. But I do remember stressing out about it the first couple of days because I had convinced myself I put down my number wrong on his phone. After a bit, I wrote a little note and handed it to him when I finally ran into him during his downtime.

Sometimes I wonder if he ever thinks about those first few days of us talking. I know I’ll catch myself reminiscing from time to time. I had high hopes like I do for every man I’ve been romantically involved with, and high hopes are usually followed by huge letdowns. But I wasn’t worried about that just yet. I didn’t want to think negatively because I wanted things to go the way I would’ve preferred. Looking back though, I know I was always idealistic when it came to love. I say that in the past tense, but that’s still very much the case now as it was back then. I’m always hopeful and optimistic until reality sets in, and all of a sudden, that warm and fuzzy feeling is replaced with sarcasm and doubt. The cynicism one feels after the end of a relationship is damn near unmatched – not in a good way obviously. I don’t want to say that I feel lost without him, but I still feel this sense of melancholy in my chest when I think about the beginning. I’m genuinely not sure if I regret what happened later on down the line or if it’s a general state of sadness. But either way, it’s not a pleasant feeling and especially when you can physically feel it. The sensation is bearable now, but before, it was beyond overwhelming. If it wasn’t for my many pets, I don’t think I would’ve gotten out of bed in the mornings.
