AVOID BOA CONSTRICTOR . COM/JEREMY STONE REPTILES

Normally I don't post things like this but I cannot stand by and not say my piece on this. The ball python hobby has been going down the shitter for a long, long time. Not the keeping part of it, no, the big minimalist breeders who see these living, breathing creatures as nothing more than a dollar sign in a plastic tote, are absolutely ruining the hobby for us. Jeremy Stone, owner and runner of boaconstrictor(DOT)com, was throwing ball pythons high up into the air, 'juggling' them, to show potential customers how 'docile' they are. Absolutely no respect to the animals, and with how much he dropped them I would be surprised if one or two of them didn't have a broken rib. If you want to watch the video, a screen grab was taken before he dirty deleted it. It's here. (Sorry its on facebook, I havent seen it on any other platform yet) Not only is he risking these animals being majorly injured, he is showing just how little most big ball python breeders actually care about their animals. Because this is how other big box breeders are reacting:

(Screenshots are not mine, but are shared with permission) NONE OF THEM SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT I am appalled and disgusted. I look at my babies, at Leliana most of all, and I could never imagine treating any of them with even the slightest bit of disrespect. These animals are so sweet, and so curious, and so special. And they're being treated like garbage. Adding on to that, now PETA and other places that exploit pet ownership for money will take this video and try to use it to end the reptile keeping hobby. Because they see this and can share it, and can make it seem like us small hobbyists, that actually love and care for our animals, are treating them like that. He is making us all look terrible. Needless to say, I am not breeding ball pythons anymore. I can't stand the thought of any of my babies going to someone like that. As much as I vet through people before they buy, I can't stop them from rehoming, and there is always a possibility that they'll end up in the hands of someone who only see them as a dollar sign. I'm not 'getting out of the hobby' as it were, they are my babies and they are here to stay. I just won't be breeding them anymore. I may breed other species in the future, but I can't stand the way the ball python hobby has turned out.

Two Midwest Rexes looking for a new home!

As stated in a previous post, I am looking to find homes for all four of my Rexes. The boys will get their own post later, but for now let’s highlight the girls!

Brindleface is roughly 4 years old and a beautiful chinchilla standard rex. The poor thing has had 4 litters with two of the litters being stillborn, so while she has been proven I will not rehome her to anyone with the intent to breed her. She (and the others) went through a period of neglect and malnutrition that I believe permanently impacted them, so a low stress life would be best. Thankfully, now that she’s had a few months of being pregnant free, she seems to be very healthy and energetic.

With the health stuff out of the way, Brindleface is a very sweet and sassy lady! She always runs up to see what treats I have to offer, and enjoys chilling at a distance. I think with even more time she would grow to enjoy some light cuddles, as she does like the occasional head scratch. Of all the rabbits, she hates being picked up the most, and has given me some pretty nasty reminders. However she’s quick to forgive, I just would recommend a gentle approach. Her favorite snacks are cucumbers and Timothy hay baked cookies.

Greg (born October 22nd 2024) is the sassy youngest girl of the family and a standard black otter rex. She is the only surviving member of her litter (her sibling passed due to unknown causes, possibly failure to thrive), and acts like the little princess she is! While never having been bred, due to the fact that her mother was undergoing neglect my rabbit care mentor has advised that she should not be bred. Otherwise she has shown no problems!

Greg was named that bc her brother’s name is Wirt, and honestly she might be due for a name change because she is one spicy bun. She isn’t big on pets and will grunt and run away, but with time I think she could bond well to her human. She LOVES to run around and is a bit of an escape artist— launching herself out of her pen! She enjoys hiding in her tunnel and doing a foot vertical leap. Her favorite snacks are Timothy cookies and oats.

While they both have been living together with relative ease, they probably would prefer a break from each other. Neither of them are fixed, and I wouldn’t recommend doing so unless you plan to house them with an unfixed male or there’s a medical recommendation.

I was the parents’ third owner and have no documentation for their breed or medical history. I believe they are purebred standard rex but of course there’s no way to know for sure.

I live in the twin cities MN and I’ll gladly drive a few hours in any direction. I am not asking for a rehoming fee, but if the drive is longer than an hour I’ll request some gas money. Feel free to ask any questions about them!

Hate to do this, but if anyone can help

TL: DR - Due to a lot of financial strain this year and moving before we planned to with little notice, my cats and my family don't have money for groceries for the next few months. We just need to make it to January and we've been trying hard, eating as cheap as possible, not going out, no extra services, etc. Heck, I only have FFXIV because a friend was nice enough to help.

But now, we're out of money and next paycheck once we cover rent and bills, we'll have less than $30. And unfortunately, we need to eat.

So if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Anything. Thank you. <3

Below the read-more are the longer details. If anyone doesn't mind boosting or something, I'd be grateful.

More Details:

Basically, due to having to move at least a year sooner than expected with less than 60 days' notice, we've used up every bit of savings and resources we have. Plus, due to some other financial nonsense, including the past roommates being terrible and my spouse's work using loopholes to avoid paying him overtime, we're finally having a really rough time.

We can just cover rent and the minimal bills. Several months ago, we turned off anything we didn't completely need. That includes streaming services, games, and what have you. Heck, we wouldn't have kept on the internet if my spouse didn't need it for work.

We were just trying to hold on until New Year. The New Year means a mandatory raise for my spouse and his boss has promised it's a good one (due to several years of him getting the minimum under his previous boss who was fired for several reasons). So we've been just trying to make it and just have a few months left.

Unfortunately, with just a few months to go, we've basically maxed out all we can. The next step is trying to rehome my cats to remove the cost of maintaining them, although I hate to do it. I really don't want to. Pretty much every cat I have, I either rescued and/or raised from birth. But I'm certainly not going to let them starve or suffer.

I have been trying for months to get a job, but due to personal things and limited options (only one car with limited gas, etc.), I haven't been able to find anything. I keep sending out forms and not hearing much. Due to gas prices and such, I can't even do UberEats or Doordash or something. I'm at a loss and I feel completely useless in trying to help my spouse at the moment.

I really hate asking. My little Tumblr is just cute stuff with my character, aesthetics, and trying to be positive. I'm just really desperate because I don't know what else to do.

We've looked into state help, but I live in Texas and their "poverty line" is absolutely ridiculous. My spouse makes "too much" for us to get the benefits of any kind of help, even temporarily. Due to the crappy roommates, our credit isn't great and we're already struggling to pay off things so getting a loan is pretty much impossible.

I don't really have any skills that people would pay for commissions for. I'd be happy to do writing commissions or something, but I've never had much luck with that.

So, yeah, I just...I really need some help getting through the next 60 days or so. So if you've read all this, thank you. If you reblog, thank you. If you feel like giving anything, thank you. Even if it's just kind thoughts, I appreciate it so much.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Bard

Is there a pet squad? It seems like every time I see something new about a character, it that they end up with a pet. So like the pet avengers or dc superpers version in ties that bind au a possible thing? Also who on both sides has a pet?

I DID NOT INTEND MOST OF THEM but animals just. Happen to some of these folks XDXD

Lesse...

AUTOBOTS:

Esmeralda the cat (Prowl and Jazz) - Jazz brought her back during one of his missions, Prowl basically became the dad who's like "I don't want pet" and a month later has her riding on his shoulders.

Dakshi the ovcharka (Kup) - Big dumb, big fun and big monstrous when you get him in the mood. Usually found roughousing with the Wreckers.

Molly the cattle dog (Ironhide) - Little dynamo of a dog, absolutely bouncing off the walls since she has no cattle to HERD NOW so she herds people instead.

Dunedan the Irish Setter (Mirage) - An old gentleman like his owner and Mirage's sightdog during hunts.

Avalon's Renaissance the horse (Mirage) - A riding horse who has seen better days and now enjoys leisurely canters with her master through the woods of Alpha Trion's estate.

Bigwig the rabbit (Bumblebee) - Is a gift to Bee from Optimus! Is also a right bastard to anyone not Bee, Bee's friends or OP.

An assortment of medical leeches (Ratchet) Many are named, mostly off famous vampires, and they live in a tempest prognosticator he had specially made for them.

A flock of pigeons (Optimus Prime) All are named and wear tags. OP doesn't have a favorite, and refers to them as his Mantiq Altair.

A murder of crows (Drift) They are not individually named, since Drift doesn't really consider them pets in a traditional sense, he simply feeds them and they see him as a human friend and bring him little gifts as such. However, he does refer to them affectionately as "The Crass Ones", because Sludge once asked him what these birds are called (he has some speech issues from the experimentation done on him and is working on remembering names of things around him) and while Drift told Sludge they were crows, he also told Sludge they were known as 'Karasu' in his language. Sludge misconstrued it as 'crass', became distressed and gently asked them to be kind to the nice man feeding them, and Drift found that so sweet/funny that the name stuck.

Tabiba the dove (First Aid) - A gift for First Aid from her uncle, Hotspot, when she graduated medical school.

Serpico the German Shepherd (Nightbeat) - Was the K9 Nightbeat worked most often with while he was a cop, and when he left to go underground/work from the shadows, he 'liberated' Serpico and Serpico chose to go with him rather than stay at the precinct. Is Nightbeat's scenthound and 'bodyguard' during stakeouts.

Lelaps and Boudicca the Maned-subtype Turbofoxes (Alpha Trion) - These were former sentry hounds of the Quintessons and were freed/reprogrammed by the Primes to help them instead.

DECEPTICONS

Old Fella the Pit Bull (Barricade) - Was rescued from an illegal fighting pit, and has long passed his best days. Was intended to be rehomed, but Barricade grew too attached to him, and with Megatron's blessings, decided to keep him instead.

Najmina the falcon (Skywarp) - Skywarp's pride and joy, and his scout during recon missions.

Buster the Jack Russell (Thundercracker) Your standard Jack Russell Terrorist so named because she would bust everyone's balls (her original name was 'Ballbuster') at Marissa Fairborne's base. With Marissa's encouragement, was adopted by Thundercracker who was feeling lost after leaving the Decepticons and needed an 'anchor'/something to care for while he figured out a new purpose in life.

Mollica the British Shorthair cat (Nickel) - One of those "there is a cat in my house, I do not own a cat" situations. This thing just sauntered into the DJD's quarters, almost slapped Tarn's mask off when he grabbed her and Nickel immediately fell in love and insisted on keeping her if only for her audacity. Her being around Tarn has not endeared him to her one bit

Graymalkin the Sphynx cat (Starscream) - Post war, adopted by Starscream as a companion.

Guys help me out!

I recently became the owner of a space marine, since I live in a place that doesn’t get them a lot the shelter didn’t label his legion.

At first I assumed that maybe he was from one of the ultramarine successor chapters, but after listing through them it soon became clear to me that he didn’t match any of the descriptions. His armour is mostly red. But my hopes of him being a blood angel/blood angels successor were quickly dashed after I checked his teeth and discovered no sign of vampiric fangs.

He’s also very chatty. And while I love to talk with him, it’s what he wants to talk about that’s the problem. Similarly to the black templars, he’s very zealous and loves to talk about religion. But I have absolutely NO CLUE what he’s trying to tell me! Every source on space marines I’ve read talked about them being loyal to the Emperor, possibly to the point of being theological about it. But all he seems to talk about is “chaos” and “the warp” (which i can’t find anything on!!). And when I tried to start up a conversation about the Emperor he told me: “death to the false emperor”. What does that even mean???

This has been bothering me for weeks now. Because I can see that infodumping to me is only a temporary solution, but I can’t find any religious texts that could be of interest to him. It’s obvious to me that he isn’t getting enough enrichment and it’s breaking my heart that I can’t find a way to fix it! Yesterday he tried to preach his beliefs on the street and I have no idea if this is a stress response or a completely normal thing to do for his legion because I don’t know what his legion is!!

This is my first ever space marine. And yes. I understand that adopting a grown astarte whose legion I had no knowledge about was VERY irresponsible of me, I get that and there’s no reason to reiterate it. But I am trying to be more responsible now. So please if anyone has any information on what legion he’s a part of and what i could do for him please reply!!! Because he’s become very attached to me and rehoming him would cause him extreme amounts of stress

For further identification this is the photo the shelter sent me (I can’t take any new ones because he just refuses to sit still)

I'm so sorry your kitty is sick, im glad its back with you (cuddles and love!). This ask is mostly directed to your followers cause I just know some people are thinking the wrong thing.

The better term to use for cat AIDs would be FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). So—For the people getting the wrong idea, no! Bunni's cat did NOT get it from humans, nor can it be transfered to other species— it's biologically impossible. FIV acts like HIV and attacks the immune system, you might also hear it be called cat HIV.

Similar ≠ Same

- 🐇

Yes, this is all correct! My vet(I live in the south) personally called it cat aids(most likely to help us better understand what it was) so that’s the term I’ve been using!

We have two other cats that have also been bitten in the past(we DID use to let them outside, but stopped once we were informed about the dangers of letting them out). Our vet said because they were bitten, they most likely also have FIV.

He said that there’s probably an outbreak among the strays, and that’s how they got it.

I would get them individually tested but it’s $160+ per test. For us, that’s a lot of money and our vet said it’s unnecessary because the likelihood of them having it is very high.

I personally would like to test and possibly rehome any of our cats that don’t have it… but that’s not a possibility for us rn. Sad, but that’s the truth of the situation.

This is why it is imperative to keep your cats indoors and I will always be an advocate for that. Not only can they get run over, attacked, or infected with disease, but cats can also become a public nuisance. They eat native wildlife, attack other cats and get them sick, and so much more.

Kittens are born on the street, sickly and dying of disease. Baby kittens, barely old enough to have babies of their own become mothers during their first heat. We have a terrible stray problem, I see kittens that have been run over everywhere.

I would like to start some kind of program to TNR(trap, neuter, release), but I don’t know where to start. Our town has no funds, and northern Louisiana SUUUCKS!

Anyways… spay, neuter, and keep your cats inside unless you take them outside wearing a harness/or have an enclosed space for them like a cattio!!

Sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately, I've been taking a step back from the community to do personal journaling, but also, I got a cat! A coworker of mine traps and rehomes them in her area, and one was the runt of her litter, so she needed extra care, which led to her being brought into the office a couple of times. That ended in me being offered her. If you remember, the last pet in the house passed away back on Easter, and I've been especially lonely without another animal in the home, so this has been a very good turn of events for my mental health (even with all of the stress that comes with a new kitten).

I figure I'd introduce her in this post, since I'm already talking about her. Peppermint, Pepper for short, is about six weeks old right now. She's solid black with green eyes and I'm sure will either have short or medium length fur when she's grown. She's starting to get comfortable with me and the room, which means she's also finding every way possible to annoy me and get into trouble, but I'd rather that over her being afraid of her own home. She loves nothing more than pets and attention and cuddling, and she really likes toys she can bat around or hunt.

I'm not sure if we'll make her a member of the Northern Steel Pack or not, but for now, I consider her my kit. She makes me excited to wake up every morning and get home from work. I've honestly been feeling a lot like a fox with her around, as I get to interact with her as one without judgement and care for her like a vixen would her pup and keep a den with chambers and hiding places and bring her food and water and things to play with. Kittens even cuddle like fox kits, constantly nuzzling the face and being underfoot. Hopefully she'll grow into the best cat she can be and go outside with me on hikes and trips once she's an adult.

Hello all. I’m back. Not with great news however…

———

This is Rini. She is my baby. Everything to me. I’d be nothing without her in my life.

Due to me going to university and not being allowed her in my accommodation, I have to leave her in the care of my sister, who is 15. My sister loves Rini as much as I do and so I trusted her to take care of my precious pet. I ensure she is paid for her work with her as I know bunnies are high maintenance.

3 days before I was due to return home, I received a call from my sister where she informed me something was wrong with Rini. She showed me photos of her, and immediately, I was mortified.

The images I saw could only be compared to what you would see on a PETA website.

I rushed home and examined her in person. Did everything I could to get her into a vet as soon as possible. She was skin and bones. Weak. Bald around the genitalia and her tail exposed. Fur on her rear matted and stained yellow. If the images were not so graphic I’d show you. Only a picture could get you to understand the condition she was in.

I can’t believe my sister allowed this to happen. To my child. I was away and comfortable she was safe and content. My sister has looked after her for a year already and never has this ever happened. I have no idea what was going through her mind since I left in September.

I have to return to university on Sunday and I can’t stand the thought of leaving her in my sister’s care again. I have nobody else I can trust her with, and my dad keeps bringing up the idea of rehoming her. Never in a million years would I ever consider getting rid of my bunny. I would rather smuggle her into my Accomodation and get a fine.

It has been 3 days since I first saw to Rini and her condition has improved massively. Eating and starting to drink too. I almost lost her this weekend. I feel like I should be thanking someone or something for her life, but it has all been down to my bunnies strength and myself. (Vets haven’t been able to get her in).

Thank you for reading.

can't remember if i ever really gave the full story here, but some of you may remember a couple years ago when i was constantly losing rabbits around around weaning age from a mystery disease and i'd like to talk about it to maybe help others. it has now been over a year of implementing the new weaning protocol and my losses have dropped from 90+% to almost zero.

obvious tw for animal death and discussion of disease.

symptoms: no appetite, severe grimace, bloating, dehydration, occasionally diarrhea. necropsy revealed discolouration of the kidneys on some animals but not all. symptoms would occur suddenly and kill within 48 hours. bodies were often found with legs extended and heads thrown back against the shoulders. some close to death animals would show neurological signs (shaking, stargazing, unable to stand,) attributed to bloating pressure on the nerves inside the body.

attempted treatments: force feeding with critical care mixed with electrolytes, probiotics, and sometimes caecotrope slurry. five days on five days off five days on treatments of toltrazuril dissolved in water; syringed to animals who would not willingly drink. treatment with corid on the five days off. multiple doses of simethicone oral suspension daily for bloating. banamine for pain. cleaning cages between growout groups with bleach, virkon, and torching.

lastly, i took a freshly dead rabbit (euthanised by me because it was near death anyway,) to a local exotics vet for professional necropsy. vet diagnoses: massive amounts of cocci. however, treatment with powerful coccidiostats were not having any significant impact on kit death, especially in winter, when conditions are wet.

i was genuinely at a loss. i spent about fourteen months (longer than i know i should have, and i still feel very guilty about it) trying to get a grip on this disease. i was at my breaking point. i was losing entire litters overnight, within two weeks of weaning them. coccidiostats helped a tiny bit but clearly it wasn't just the cocci that was the problem. however, no other disease i could find listed on any of the rabbit disease and treatment website or books sounded remotely close to what i was experiencing. the symptoms were so generic (rabbits love coming down with mysterious gut problems), and the necropsy done by the vet had basically found nothing else.

thoroughly cleaning the walls, floors, feeders, and water cups of each cage with bleach and a torch had a marginal but noticable affect not on how many kits became ill, but on how long it took them to become ill.

this was a disease that affected almost exclusively young rabbits. i have had four adult rabbits become infected with the disease; of those, two survived the above treatment regimen. all other deaths (and there were a lot,) were kits around 6-9 weeks of age.

but absolute chance i was having a little bit of a crisis on my rabbit breeder's discord server about how i was one more dead litter from getting out of rabbits entirely. which...if you've been here a while, you know is a huge fucking deal to me. it was not possible for me to go scorched-earth on cocci in my current barn, which is open-fronted with dirt floors, so my only remaining option was to cull or rehome my animals and try again once i had a new barn that i could clean more easily. in the midst of throwing around last-ditch effort treatments to look into, i offhandedly mentioned that bleaching cages helped a little.

and then @/bonefarm said 'well bleach doesn't touch cocci, so if bleach helps, it's probably bacterial.'

which led to: 'y'know it almost sounds like clostridial disease, like you vaccinate hoofstock for'

so i thought y'know what. fuck it. a vial of CDT vaccine is ten bucks at the co-op. it literally cannot make things worse. so when my next litters got to weaning age, i bought a vial, some 22 gauge needles, and jabbed them all on their way to the growout cage. in two weeks - the point in which normally, if they hadn't already started dying, they definitely would begin dropping - i revaccinated them.

and then none of them died.

when i tell you i nearly cried.

it took a few more months to really get a full hold on the situation, as the weather in washington in fall and spring is unpredictable and can put a lot of stress on a kit already dealing with leaving mom and being in a new group situation with other rabbits it may not know, but i was starting to get litters where i would maybe lose one or two, and most litters all kits lived to butcher age. i also learned that timely revaccination is ABSOLUTELY necessary as they can and will start dying again. as is cleaning out the cage after each group. but for ten dollars my rabbits were suddenly staying alive.

now the routine is, a week or so before i wean kits (around 4-6 weeks of age), i vaccinate kits with CDT. now i use insulin needles, as they are 1cc syringes (you typically won't need more than that,) and the tiny needles are easier on little baby bunnies, but the smallest gauge needles you can find (at my feed store the smallest they carry is 22 gauge) works just as well. in two weeks i buy a new vial and revaccinate.

the dosage is .1cc per pound (~0.5kg) of weight, so a vial goes a long way.

i still lose the occasional kit, and sometimes there'll be a couple that get icky but get over it in a couple days, and those are animals i don't keep back for breeding to try and build some sort of resistence to it. in the future i hope to not have to deal with this, but it will probably take years. hopefully the new barn with better climate control and concrete floors will cut down on the bacterial load in the animals by a lot.

i don't know why this is a problem i am dealing with, but i can't be the only one. if you're out there dealing with mystery GI disease in your rabbits that won't respond to other treatments...consider stopping by your local farm store and buying a little vial of CDT vaccine and some needles.

WHOOPS, I didn't see that thanks for the link! Where did your fascination witjbrats come from?

It's hard to answer this question because there is no interesting story or specific reason. I've had pet rats almost my whole life, so for a while, getting new ones was like a habit to me. I grew up surrounded by animals. My first rodent was a hamster that bit my finger the first time I tried to touch him. He bit right through it. I must've been about 5 years old at the time. So, my parents gave it back and got me a rat instead. I don't remember that first rat because I was so young, but it's for the best, honestly. I later learned from my mother that the first rat died a horrible death because of my parents' stupidity (they thought that rats do not need water??? Two grown-ups in their twenties. wtf).

But since then, I had rats pretty much always. They lived in horrible conditions and alone, but no one knew any better at the time. I loved them, though. I remember especially fondly two of them. One was a black boy whose name I shall not tell because it was so stupid, the first letters were Ts. He basically grew up with one of our cats (which is horrible and you should never let your rats and cats interact in any way!). I was about ten. I still have this artifact, the whole three pixels of it, recorded on my Motorola phone, lol. Nevermind, tumblr won't let me attach the video. Ts. lived for three years and was almost always with me.

Before Ts., there was Buffy, a blue girl. Sadly, I have only memories of her. I didn't have a phone or camera at the time. She had a lot of adventures in her life. I made her a DIY harness and let her roam outside (which you also shouldn't do). She loved to dig trenches in the sand and climb trees. Somehow, she didn't get eaten by birds of prey or simply get lost, I guess I was lucky.

Even when I left my hometown after graduating high school, I took my rat with me. Clementine, a black-hooded girl, also lived a very long life.

Then I finally started researching proper pet care in general and rat care in particular. I should've done it earlier, I know, but I grew up in a family where it wasn't really a thing, like it didn't even occur to me. It breaks my heart to think about all the rats that lived their miserable lives with us when I was little.

Anyway, I got a bigger cage (still very small!) and two girls. But with university and many changes in my personal life, I didn't spend any time with them at all. They fought with each other all the time. When one of them died, I got another one, and they fought again. I was 17-18 at the time but still dumb af. I tried to quit getting new rats after the oldest girl died. I thought I didn't want them anymore. But then the old habit kicked in, and I got Fiona.

Fiona was the one. The rat that changed my perception of rats in general. The rat who turned me into a crazy rat lady. But it wasn't because she was so special. It was just because the year was 2014, I was in Donetsk, the world was seemingly falling apart (if you know, you know). And there was Fiona, way too young to be weaned and sold, tiny and depending on me. I was in love. She gave me comfort and helped me get through the worst (or so I thought) times. I didn't want to have another rat who would bully Fiona, but eventually, I decided to do the right thing and get Fiona a friend. Tori was rehomed from horrible conditions.

She was covered in wounds from mites, not used to handling, and walked weirdly because they never let her out. She made a swift and full recovery, though. And they got along with Fiona instantly and were inseparable till the end.

I let them free roam the room because in that apartment there was nothing worth of saving. And they wrecked havoc, they got rid of all the ugly wallpaper and made a nest behind the couch. Sometimes I would have to move the couch to get them back into their cage.

I really want to have a "rat room" again, but in this flat it's not possible, they would chew their way to the downstairs neighbor.

Then I got the third rat, Shlyopa, she cost me exactly one "kinder surprise" chocolate egg in exchange.

We later made a large DIY cage because we were too poor to afford a pre-manufactured one. Shlyopa was the best rat I ever had, hands down. She was something else. So obsessed with me that it was almost annoying at times. If I was in the room, she would not calm down until I let her out to be with me. I miss her to this day.

She had to sleep hugging my hand, so I couldn't move it until her sleep was deep enough.

I'm getting carried away, I know. Rats are just my spirit animals. I understand them, their thought process, and I relate to them (I'm also afraid of everything, lol). I feel grateful for the love they show me, I find comfort in them. And I hope I find strength to not get any new rats after the three I have now. It hurts too much.

I draw the line at NSFW content containing minors or characters who only appear in the source material as minors. Pairings must also pass the Harkness Test - creatures must be able to communicate in a way all participants can understand clear consent, they must have enough intelligence and sentience to understand clear consent, and they must be at or over the minimum age of consent for their species. No sexual pairings are to contain characters who are blood related, with the exception of Sorn/Nym Orlith who may be in a situation with multiple other partners but as they state in game they will not interact with each other, nor will they be with only one other partner.

All Participants must be 18+ - Minors DNI with this blog! The game is rated 18+ and so is a lot of the fan content, please respect this and wait until you are old enough to safely interact with 18+ fandom creativity (for your own safety and that of the creators)

Controversial Content, Tagging, and CWs

Controversial characters, Dead Dove topics, and triggering content is permitted here on the understanding that you will appropriately tag all submissions and fics with the CWs and Tags that apply to it, so readers and writers have the choice of what they engage with.

You can find a comprehensive guide to tagging and CWs here along with a list of topics that require a tag!

As long as you have clearly marked your content, it's fine to post. Stories have all kinds of themes to them and have done since we first sat around the fires talking to each other about dreams and ideas - so let's keep it positive here too! If you don't like an idea or story, just let it pass by and move on to something you do like instead. We are all so much better when we support one another~

How Should I Submit My Plot Bunny?

You should try to give as much detail as you're able to, but we can try and help out a bit too! Try to have as many of these points as you can:

Character Names

Basic idea (a couple of sentences)

SFW or NSFW?

Are there any tropes/kinks you do want to see included?

Are there any tropes/kinks you do NOT want to see included?

Is this a one shot idea or a long fic?

Should the idea be treated seriously or like a comedy?

Do you have an idea of an outline for the story (eg, beginning, middle, and end)

Would you like the Rehoming Centre to expand on your idea? (eg, you have a rare pairing idea but can't work out how to put them together)

Do you have any other inspirations for the plot bunny to go with it in the rehoming package? (eg, a song, a piece of art, a game screenshot)

How Should I Adopt A Plot Bunny?

If you'd like to adopt a plot bunny and write something with it, scroll, search, or pick whichever bunny appeals to you! If possible, drop a comment on the post so we know you're working on it, then those looking to claim a bunny that has no home yet can look further for more. You can claim a bunny that already has a claim if you'd like to, of course! Bunnies need lots of love.

Once you've written your fic, reblog the plot bunny post so the blog, readers, and the person who submitted the post can find your work! We want to see our lovely plot bunnies hopping happily in their new homes after all~

Is that it?

I think so! If you have any questions, pop them in the comments to this post or in the ask box. I look forward to seeing all your plot bunnies and finding them some good homes soon!

Would you ever consider rehoming Marston now that you know he's barely a year old? Since with the cats you have it sounds like you're likely not going to really be able to help any hospice cats for probably 5 years? I'm sure after a few months with you, his coat grows back in and he no longer looks like he's 500 years old it'd be possible. And I don't mean give him up to a shelter I mean see if you can find someone else for him. Hope this ask doens't come across as rude I don't mean it to.

I’m already in love so we’re stuck with each other lol. I can’t bring a cat home only to rehome them, it’s why I’ve never really fostered cats. He’d have to really truly be an awful fit for me to rehome him at this point, and I’ve only had him since Saturday.

I’ve wanted a cat for a long time even tho I’m allergic. I just take allergy meds everyday to interact with loved ones’ pets. Also, I could probably find a hypoallergenic kitty.

However, I am trying to tie up loose ends in life, not make more. I think it would be irresponsible of me to get a cat when I don’t plan on being here much longer. It’s stressful for my family to find a new home for the cat and it’s stressful on the cat to have to be rehomed.

Buuuut if I don’t end up dying I’m missing out on kitty lovings and the healing power of purrs. I just don’t want one more thing to feel guilty about and possibly prevent me from leaving.

I saw something today that really pissed me off and hurt my feelings and it's probably going to be my supervillain or origin story. I don't know how much y'all know about what happened to my dog Harlem. I mentioned how much I miss her but she's not dead. She was rehomed to a lovely guy and he's spoiling the hell out of her so now she gets three meals a day rather than the two that I was giving her. I know where she is I know she's happy and getting all the walks and love and food she needs. He adores the hell out of her and is always happy to update me on how she's doing. It's not the same but at least it's the best outcome from having to rehome her. The reason I rehomed her was because there was some issues with the landlord and they said that she was unauthorized as the excuse to say I had to either remove my dog or remove myself from the house. And because at the time I had just got a new job and had no savings or no way to move, Harlem unfortunately had to find a new place to go. Realistically I knew that I couldn't hope somebody would Foster her until I can move out into a new place because I know how hard it is to move anywhere and where I live is already low income housing and it takes up half of my paycheck every month. Anyway I just saw a picture of my apartment complex showing that they are leasing new apartments and there is a sign on there say that pet stay for free. When they claim that she was unauthorized it was due to my lease being 6 months at first and then it went to a month-to-month lease but I didn't see the new month to month lease and it's possible that the least didn't have Harlem on there as my pet because I did pay the pet deposit when I moved in. And my 6 month lease that I initially signed didn't specify that the amount of money I paid included but pet deposit and it did not specify that Harlem was going to be in the home with me as my pet. So I could not fight it that I pay the deposit nor could I fight to get the money back after she was gone cuz they claim that she wasn't on the lease at all to begin with. I just could not fight it because I didn't have any paper trail to protect me and Harlem and unfortunately I was in the process of trying to get some kind of paperwork that showed that she was my emotional support companion dog due to my depression and stuff but that didn't go through at the time. So long story short I lost her. Fast forward today I see that they are leasing and they're showing that pets stay free. So now it feels like I lost Harlem for nothing. I'm so upset and angry but I'm mostly just so sad and I can't stop crying cuz I miss her and this has fucked me up from wanting to ever get a pet again because I feel like I failed her. I had promised Harlem that I would be her last human when I adopted her as a senior dog 8 years ago and I had her for 7 years and I thought I was going to be her last human. I thought she was only going to live another three four years after I adopted her because her breed is 15 years and the shelter told me she was 12, so when she turned 16 17 18 I was like hell yeah baby girl go. It's fucked me up from getting another dog. I won't for a long time if ever and definitely not while Harlem is still alive.

I could really use a friend right now.

Hey Death Note I got some names for you...
