Hey there! I was just wondering if your requests were open? I was curious if you would be open to writing a headcanon or Imagine of a female reader with Bret Hart? He has been on my mind alot lately! Something fluffy please!

Title: Just Relax Pairing: Bret Hart x Reader Word Count: 595

You’ve had a rough - albeit productive - day at work, but today, it all became a bit too much for you to shoulder. Working the late shift feels like punishment in itself, but when it’s even busier than usual, and you have more customers to deal with, on top of petty complaints and issues that a select few throw your way, it’s bound to wear you down as the day goes on.

Finally, you make it to your front door and swing it open, and you catch it just before it bumps the wall on impact, just in case Bret is asleep. You kick off your shoes and set down your bag before you tiptoe your way into the living room, and you notice the flicker of the TV screen illuminating the walls.

He’s left the TV on again, you think while a lazy smile creeps onto your lips, and you follow the light of the TV until you spot the shadow which is Bret sitting there on the couch.

“Bret, I’ve told you before,” you lean over the back of the couch and plant a kiss atop his head, “You don’t need to wait up for me or anything when I’m working late. It’s fine, you can go to bed.”

“I know I don’t have to,” Bret hums as he reaches over to the side table, flicking the lamp on, “But I wanted to. How was work?”

You groan in response and make your way around to the front of the couch, and you slump down next to him and rest your head against the side of his shoulder. Bret curls an arm around you and pulls you in impossibly closer to him, and you find comfort in his warm embrace as you practically melt into it.

“It felt like it was never gonna end. I was ready for my shift to end not even half an hour in.”

“That bad, huh?” Bret chuckles softly, and when you nod your head yes, he gives you a gentle nudge, “Well, you got through the day, even if it was a tough one. And you’re home now, too, and I think I know what might help you unwind a bit for the night.”

You crane your neck to look up at Bret, finding his adoring eyes already locked on you. You beam at the realisation, and your heart flutters at the tenderness of his gaze as if it were the first time he’s looking at you like this all over again.

“Yeah? What’s that?”

“I’m giving you full control of the TV for an out of the blue movie night. If you want to stay down here, that is. We can always just go to bed, I know it’s getting late. But I’m leaving it all up to you.”

With that, Bret slides the TV remote into your lap while he shifts into a more comfortable position for both himself and for you. You pick up the remote before you lay against him, your head resting against his chest, listening to and feeling the steady rise and fall of it with each breath while you flick through the channels to find something decent to watch.

“I’m more than happy staying down here with you,” you tell him, your arms snaking around him, “I just can’t promise that I won’t drift off against you.”

“It’s fine if you do,” Bret chuckles and dips his head down to press a kiss to the top of your head, “Just relax for the night. We both know you need it, sweetheart.”

The mandarin duck is originally native in East Asia. Kept in captivity as an ornamental bird, escaped ducks have mated over time and a free population has established itself in Europe.

So according to a post on the EA forum 170 billion to 700 billion fish are farmed and fed to Chinese Perch each year.

For comparison, about 70 billion chickens are killed each year ( majority of farmed tetrapods), 111 billion fish are farmed for human consumption, and 35-150 billion fish are raised to be released to be fished later.

It’s crazy that it’s highly likely a giant portion of the global vertebrates farmed for food is to feed one genus of carnivore that is 0.5% of the fish farm output of 1 country.

Other carnivores like salmon will eat dead stuff, so we kill trillions? of wild fish to feed them ( and omnivores) maybe that's a more fare comparison than other farmed animals, (let me check statistics real quick)

OK so about 1.1-2.2 wild fish are caught and killed for food each year, and about 0.45-1.1 trillion become fish meal/oil (aka livestock feed) , so even compared to wild caught feed fish this is an absolutely huge number

Ok, so I knew that Fish farming was exponentially growing while the amount(weight) of fish caught has been stable for awhile, that plus the whole " fishing smaller/lower trophic level fish" trend thing, I assumed the feed share of caught fish/ total number of fish caught was growing or stable, But apparently not!https://fishcount.org.uk/studydatascreens/2016/fishcount_estimates_analysis.php in 1990-2007, about 0.98-2.75 trillion fish were caught each year, in 2007-2016 , it was 0.79-2.33 trillion fish, a reduction of 200-400 billion fish. ( because we are getting better at feeding farmed fish other stuff) (the decline in weight was much more mild/didn't happen cause we are talking about much smaller than mean fish)

This is almost entirely do to "feed fish" , Peruvian anchoveta, the most exploited vertebrate on the planet, make up most of the decline, 57-77% of the total. the rest is mostly made up by other "feed fish" like other anchovies, sardines, sand eels , capelin etc to. There combined weight fell from 14 million tons in 1999, to just 6 million tons in 2019.

So by my calculations in 1999-2007 "feed fish" were about 13.5 million tons, and in 2007-2016 about 9 million tons. if a decline of 300 billion fewer "feed' fish meant 4.5 million tons, than by 2016 it was likely "only" about 400 billion "feed" fish.

which would mean the number of farmed fish fed to Chinese perch (435 billion (probably mostly carp fry)) is likely larger than wild "feed fish" fed to farmed fish globally? that's crazy

so if it's 400 billion in 2016, what is it now? well fluctuations aside it seems to be declining rather linearly, and it's been about another 9 years, so lets say in 2025 it will be about, 100 billion, maybe? less than the number of fish farmed? and basically dead by 2030?

Ok , questionable projection aside, look at that decline! hundreds of billions of fewer feed fish! that's real progress, up against the hill of growing farmed fish numbers, with relatively little attention to it! I hope it continues. We really need to spend more advocacy points than we do here, Imagine If we could bury this trade in the ground! ( in particular Salmon are the most farmed fish in Europe, and contribute a large share being carnivores unlike tilapia/carp/catfish, salmon farming is also big in the vegan friendly Pacific northwest, and already in trouble for environmental reasons)

the Chinese perch trade meanwhile.. seems to be growing fast, atleast 1990-2010 https://thefishsite.com/articles/cultured-aquatic-species-mandarin-fish

But ..... while some of this is a shift to plants/byproducts, some of it is to crustaceans and insects.

about 113 billion krill (and growing fast, some also for Omega 3 pills) , 14.6 billion brine shrimp, and a smaller but unclear and possibly likely to grow number of insects https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mr7XkanNbda0rqsI1Tluyl19bYNSvXbR/view

so, still a net improvement!

(while I'm at it I should probably mention the 0.085-2.1 billion rodents killed for reptile food each year, and the 1-10 billion fish used as "bait" in the US ( about 0.2-2.4 trillion globally then ?, but I bet it's higher than average in the US) . )

Before you get too optimistic, other invertebrates used for food eclipse the fish feed numbers.

-3.9 billion cephalopods ( increasing)

- 2.9-7.7 billion land snails(thankfully decreasing) (I bet marine snails like conches/whelks/abalone are higher),

- 0.42-1 trillion silk moths. ( increasing?)

-1-1.2 Trillion insects killed for food and feed and growing.

- 440 billion farmed shrimp(increasing) and 25 trillion wild shrimp (mostly Acetes shimp) (increasing?),

- 1.4-4.8 trillion adult honeybees at any moment, the most heavily farmed species on the planet and still increasing.

so this is a massive major improvement that is happening in Animal Welfare globally, impacting incomprehensible numbers of fish, It's doesn't change my "general pessimism" I'm afraid. The number of farmed animals, whose our impact on well being are clearly stronger than wild animals, is still growing rapidly. and the number of wild animals caught for food is likely increasing with the rise of the Acetes shrimp trade. And the total weight of fish caught has barely nudged, suggesting increasing catches of larger "food fish", and likely no decline of the fishing industry in the medium term even as farmed fish production rises.

Anyway I hope that EA post makes it to some Chinese animal rights advocates that can utilize that info somehow. the chinese perch are such a tiny share of the industry, not something giant like chickens or even tilapia, Imagine the impact a targeted campaign (public advocacy? corporate commitment/bans? ) by people with knowledge on the ground could produce.

Mandarin oranges.

The mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata), also known as mandarin or mandarine, is a small, rounded citrustree fruit.

The name mandarin orange is a calque of Swedish mandarin apelsin [apelsin from German Apfelsine (Apfel + Sina), meaning Chinese apple], first attested in the 18th century. The Imperial Chinese term "mandarine" was first adopted by the French for this fruit.

The reason for the epithet is not clear.

In Chinese it is called Chéngzi (橙子 = orange coloured small thing).
