If you have animal coworkers who sometimes walk on your keyboard, always double check before sending messages. I’m a work-from-home editor for business articles, and I barely caught this helpful addition my chinchilla made to an inline note I had sent back to the writer:

Fortunately I noticed and removed the note before my client could see it. It’s probably poor business etiquette to make clients worry their editor's snapped.

all the while society conflates "being an adult" with "having a proper job" and "having money to make arbitrary Adult Purchases" disabled people who can't work - or can only work part time or can only do entry level baby jobs - will never be 'allowed' to be adults

you can say "being an adult is looking after yourself you don't have to have a job!!!" all you want but most people who say that will still assume anybody who doesn't either can't or won't 'look after themselves' actually. and every 'marker' of 'adulthood' that's observable and thus actually counts or whatever loops back around to... having a job and 'contributing' something

I’m gonna be out most of the day bc I’ll be helping my dad with a big shopping trip plus being out after, so I’m going to be super duper exhausted

I don’t do well in crowded or loud places in the slightest, I get woozy and tired and I feel miserable or like I’m gonna pass out, and if the shopping isn’t gonna make me wanna cry, the outing after will bc it’s gonna be packed with lots of noise and people

I don’t say this because I want to complain, I just wanna give a super quick warning that I might not be active tomorrow as well as today bc when I get exhausted, my mental health tends to decline as well ;-;

so- a bit of a warning that I may poof a bit (sorry! 😣)

One of our dogs is turning into a "get off my lawn" kind of old lady. Not aggressive, just crochety. She's hit double digits in people years, so she's allowed.

When I started working from home, she would want to lie next to me at all times. She wasn't noisy, but she would very definitely go to my wife and indicate "there is a problem and only you can fix it" if I had the door closed. (Our other dog does this to me if he feels my wife has slept long enough, i.e. 4-6 hours.) Our initial thought was, oh, she's just attached to me and happy I'm home.

Which might be true. Except she doesn't like that I stop working after a mere 8-10 hours. Also, how dare I take legally mandated lunch breaks. Who does my wife think she is, scheduling outside time and walks during my work day? Outrageous!

Anyway, she decided to be the helpfullest girl ever and start guiding me to the "correct" room every morning. Even on on weekends or holidays. Or days I didn't work from home. And it is truly unacceptable if I don't comply. Even worse if I "trick" her and go to the bathroom instead of our office/craft room/guest room. The sulking. The betrayal on her little face. What kind of work ethic am I bringing here, honestly?

I'm not saying things are escalating. I'm not saying she's given up on me. I'm not saying our dog loves that room more than she loves us. I'm just saying we've lost her a few times only to find her lounging in the office and ignoring that we were calling her. We usually close the door to the room when we go to bed, on account of how doors are the only way to regulate the temperature in our tiny, 50+ yo apartment, but last night we forgot.

Dear reader, she was at my work station before I was this morning. Our dog is turning into a boomer manager who complains that no one wants to work anymore.

Piarles + kittierre, bestie

Pierre is stretched across his lap lazily, eyes sleep-heavy and lidded as he shifts to get comfortable where they're curled together on the couch; the movie has been long since forgotten, mere background noise as Charles runs his fingers through Pierre's hair gently, allowing his nails to scrape at his scalp.

"Mmmm," the Frenchman hums, almost purrs, arching into the touch just a little and allowing his eyes to close fully--it's been a long day, far longer than Pierre had anticipated it being, and he's been thinking about crawling into Charles' warm embrace from the moment he'd made it through the front door.

Charles, who laughs quietly and wordlessly before trailing his hand down the side of Pierre's cheek to continue scratching at him lazily, along the line of his beard: there's nothing Charles Leclerc isn't good at, Pierre knows, but this has to be at the top of the list, his lover's talent for settling him down to his very core with the simple touch of a gentle hand.

more 3 sentence au prompts?

I've had this AU in my head for ages but I only just got the nerve to submit it lol (long ask ahead, sorry)

Anyway so basically it's like: what if the brothers' fall goes entirely different. This is half serious and half crack? But basically after falling, instead of ending up in the Devildom they land in the human world, in animal forms. So like Lucifer's a peacock, Mammon's a crow, Levi's a snake, Satan's a cat, Asmo's a rabbit, Beel's one of those big dogs that go boof, Belphie's a fox. (I was going to go demonic animal for all of them, but then Beel would be a fly and Satan would be a unicorn which don't exist, and that's tricky to work with lol)

Basically they can communicate with each other but they can't speak like verbally, they can still do simple magic but no demon form transforming. They're just kinda stuck in animal form for some reason.

Ik sees a tattered crow hopping about by the road on her way home from school. It keeps getting startled by the cars but it's not flying away, and it looks really close to getting hit, which she's worried about. So she tries to shoo it away, and the crow stops and looks at her with these big dark eyes and she can't help but feel like it *understands* her when she tells it that it's dangerous by the road.

Next day the crow is there again, and this time it's staying away from the curb, as if it *listened* to her. And for some reasons he can't stop thinking about it... so the next day she buys a little bag of nuts on the way back, and when she sees the crow by the road again she scatters some of them for it, which it seems to appreciate.

Ik feeds the crow for a week before it's already comfortable enough to hop right up to her and wait for its snack. While she's watching it eat, she'll talk to it. After another week it seems to be *looking forward* to seeing her, because it sits on a tree watching the path she takes and visibly perks up when it spots her coming around the corner, and it seems to listen very intently when she's talking. It's like having a best friend.

Then one day the crow follows her home. Ik waves to it when she goes inside and it's gone by morning. And it isn't there in the usual place after school...

Then she gets home and finds the crow waiting on her doorstep. When it spots her it squawks happily and then calls to something. And then six animals that you would NOT expect a crow to be acquainted with emerge from hiding in a bush nearby. Does that dog have a fox AND a snake on its back? Is that a fucking *peacock*?!

Okay. This is weird and definitely not normal. "Are these your friends?" she asks the crow, as if it understands. Then the crow *nods*.

Basically Ik takes in the animal-brothers and takes care of them as best she can in her little house. (Bonus: cut to Diavolo and Barbatos in the Devildom, extremely panicked and confused about where those fallen angels ended up if they're not here)

I've got more thoughts but I'd like to know what you think first hehee

OOOOO I LIKE IT VERY MUCH!! i agree that this is a very half and half au, so let me think about the serious half for a moment...

if this happens directly after the fall, then there's a lot of interesting dialogue coming from the fact that all that war trauma's very fresh... though potentially, they'll all heal from it a lot more healthily, rather than repressing for centuries on end until a kid who cares too much shows up. this time, the kid who cares too much is right there immediately

i reckon the other brothers, especially lucifer and the twins, would be quite standoffish with ik at first. like, they'll acknowledge her help and be grateful for it, but belphie'll snap if she gets too close and lucifer doesn't like being alone in a room with her. but i think satan would latch onto her company quite quick actually - since he's new to, like, existing, and isn't quite sure how to be around his new brothers

mammon of course has decided ik is his new bestest friend ever. part of it is because his brothers are all very sombre and he doesn't know how to handle grief properly, so he's glad to have someone to just goof off with - part of it's because ik's the first face he saw after landing and he's, like, imprinted

(he did see other humans but none stopped long enough for him to get a look at them, and ik's the first one that approached him in good nature)

ik's main concern is not having a lot of room for all these animals, plus letting them get out. levi doesn't wanna anyway, she can be pretending to walk a dog with beel, mammon can just kinda go fly on his own and will look normal, belphie, asmo and satan won't look that out of place outside - the main issue is lucifer, because peacocks are not a normal sight in urban england

she resorts to waiting until the dead of night so that lucifer can get some air and loses a fair amount of sleep over it, and this is part of the reason lucifer starts warming up to her :')

cw pet injury, pet death

nothing more unnecessary than losing your 3 month old kitten to a tilted window (or your 14yo diabetic cat to hypoglycemia because for some reason you waited another three hours after finding her comatose, cold, and barely breathing in your garage, and merely covered her with a blanket. When she came in, our thermometer refused to give us a reading, she had a heartrate of 40, and a blood glucose of 0.7mmol/l.)
