So uhh mamá woke me up quite early today and with tears in her eyes she said that we left the chicken's net uncovered at night and now the hen was alone, the rooster was gone. Didn't took me long to realize that a tlacuache ate him when I saw the feathers (cats have NEVER attacked and are actually cautious with them) so once the shock passed I broke down too.
My family has taken care of silky chickens like pets since I was very young so I can only remember one other time when something like this happened (traumatizing i must say, the tlacuache left the corpse exposed) and it was hard having to go through it again, mostly bc this one was my fave boy for almost 5 years, it hurts to know that I could have easily avoided this if I had only checked them up before going to bed, if I had just covered the box instead of getting anxious over unfinished homework.
And if it wasn't enough when I told my friends about how shitty I felt for losing him, a bunch said "oh well it's a chicken, it was going to get eaten anyway haha" "why didn't you ate it before? lol" "the tlacuache stole your dinner" and when I snapped at them for even thinking that bullshit they just went "calm down its a joke" like I JUST TOLD YOU MY PET IS DEAD AND THE ONLY THING YOU CAN SAY ABOUT IT IS HOW I SHOULD HAVE EATEN HIM??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH Y'ALL
It is just not fair?? If he had been a cat or a dog they would never write something like that, but because he was a rooster -and as such, OBVIOUSLY not a pet deserving of grief- they inmediately went joking and calling me dramatic for snapping after that. I had already been dealing with this kinda crap whenever I told someone my pets were silkies (four times i got send a gif of a hen getting shot, but since everyone thought it was funny i could never kick 'em out the groupchat (one girl apologized later thanks lord)) so idk why they expected me to react at their """jokes""" with anything but agression. Anyway, I just wanted to vent all my frustration and guilt out since my so-called friends couldn't even avoid making me more upset.
I'm sorry boy, I wish I had been more careful, had woken up earlier so maybe I could bury you like you deserved, could carry you one last time. Even then, you protected my girl and I'm so grateful for it, she's gonna be okay because I would never forgive myself if something happened to her too, she will not be alone that much I can promise. Maybe you were not a cat or a dog or a hamster, but that doesn't matter because we had and saw each other grow for longer than most of my friends. I'm sorry for my poor responsibility, I don't think I can say it enough, but thanks for being there while it lasted and I hope my mistake never repeats itself.
And for all of you fools saying that a chicken could never compare to any other conventional pet, joking about how they are just food (or that bs about snakes, spiders and such), think about what would u do if I said the same crap about your or someone else's dog/cat.
It ain't pretty huh.
#manglr rambles#text post#tw pet death#tw pet loss#i REALLY dont know what is the name for a tlacuache in english#and im not in the mood to look it up#also yes im totally upset because of this#but no way im blaming an animal for following their instincts#so wherever that tlacuache is rn i hope they are alright#didn't even left the corpse and i don't know how to feel about that#something that made me even more emotional was the fact that#we found the hen hidding between our cats#and they were just there as if they tried to protect her too#so yeah it was DEFINITELY not a cat attack#also like#the hen have proven to be able to hit them whenever she feels threatened by them#she's a bad bitch and everyone knows it#another bittersweet fact is that#since she was unharmed#i think the rooster died trying to protect her#and he succeeded#so i dont want anything for my boy except RESPECT#btw im SICK of people making fun of unconventional pets like#WHAT IS THE NEED???#not only chicken but ive seen this same shit with spiders#and snakes and centipedes and pretty much every bug-like animal#GUESS WHAT DIEGO PEOPLE WITH 'WEIRD' PETS HAVE FEELINGS TOO#AND NO YOU DON'T GET TO MOCK THEM WHENEVER THEY TRY TO TALK ABOUT IT ONLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BORING DOG THAT CAN'T EVEN SIT WHEN U SAY#AND IF SOMEONE TELLS U THAT THEIR PET HAS DIED U DONT MAKE JOKES U LISTEN AND COMFORT IF YOU CAN#IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IS A FRICKING ANACONDA CUZ THAT 'THING' AS U CALL WAS A BETTER FRIEND THAN YOU ARE BEING RIGHT NOW

Here's a scenario, Zhao at some point brings up to Yue his jealousy about her and Zuko and Yue is surprised because good sir that's a adopted brother and she's just quiet for a second which gives Zhao some big anxiety but then Yue just starts laughing and has to explain that they just have a brother/sister type of relationship (on another note imagine Zuko and Yue do a ceremony which makes them honorary siblings, my heart bro....)
Victory speeches are something of a specialty for Zhao. 
Genuine explorations of his... feelings? Not so much. Particularly when those feelings veer too often towards the notion of failure and inadequacy. 
He starts the day off worriedly in front of the mirror, confronted by a reflection simultaneously too familiar -- he has his father’s hairline, the man’s hooked nose -- and utterly alien -- how long has there been grey at his temples, did these lines at the corners of his mouth and his forehead carve themselves overnight? He does not often obsess over his appearance, beyond the necessary neatness required of the navy. His uniform is always sharp, his body always ready to serve. The rest has always seemed immaterial.
Now, despite his excellent physical condition, he just feels frightfully old.  
Abruptly he stands, decides he doesn’t need to look at the mirror at all. 
Zhao finishes the day having nearly drunk his way through an entire bottle of baijiu, his glasses askew, hair half-undone, slouched over a series of ink-splattered sheets of parchment on which he has attempted -- and failed utterly -- to organize his thoughts. There is no shortage of them swimming about in his brain, but somehow they become like glue the moment he tries to put them down, sticking stubbornly to the sides of his skull. It feels like a shameful thing to admit. A weakness. 
Yue returns from her day at the palace, acting first as ambassador and then as friend to the Fire Lord, and Zhao feels his throat clench at the thought when she walks by his office, then doubles back to stare at him quizzically in the doorway. What has he done with himself during that time? Nothing useful, that’s for certain. His beautiful, accomplished wife is out advising a monarch -- a handsome, resilient monarch much closer to her in age who never fails to make her laugh -- and here he is, useless.    
“Zhao?” she asks, taking several steps into the room, and he scrambles, trying to gather and hide the mess of nigh-illiterate ramblings. He succeeds in coating the bottom of one forearm with ink, and knocking the mostly empty bottle of baijiu to the floor. Pathetic, he thinks, his face burning as Yue leans closer and wrinkles her nose at the smell of liquor on his breath. 
“How... how was the Fire Lord?” he tries to ask nonchalantly, the effort somewhat ruined by the way his face falls at mention of Zuko.
“He’s well,” she answers, face skeptical. “Though I think he’s getting a little tired of hearing about trade routes. But what about you, admiral?” A little emphasis on the title, a slight barb intended to be affectionate but that only makes Zhao’s brows pinch worriedly. “How are you?” 
There is a moment, a second of hesitation, where he thinks he will laugh it off, will tell her that he just felt like getting drunk for no reason, and then his mouth is open and all the words he could not put to paper are leaping for freedom from between his teeth. 
He loves her, but he knows that is unfair. His body feels treacherous in its aging, while she has so much time left in youth and prime, and he is ashamed of how he compares to the young Fire Lord with whom she spends so much time. He hates that even the thought of Zuko makes the acid in his stomach burn and roil, and he knows it is wrong, but increasingly he cannot stand to think of her alone with him. Not that he does not trust either of them -- not that at all! it’s treason to think that way, first of all -- but simply because her time with Zuko renders him irrelevant. He cannot quite keep up the way the young man does, doesn’t seem to make Yue laugh as often as the Fire Lord can, and he just wants her to be happy but... Agni, it hurts to think that he can’t do that. 
“I’m... I’m jealous,” he whispers, as though admitting it is worse than confessing to murder. 
Yue blinks, her face alarmingly unreadable, and Zhao finds himself wanting to reach for her, to pull her to him and bury his face in her snow-coloured hair, but he settles from gripping the edge of his desk instead. 
An agonizing silence stretches between them, and then Yue looks away, unable to keep from laughing. She holds one hand over her mouth, trying to hide her smile, waving the other apologetically at Zhao. 
“Oh, Zhao, I’m so sorry,” she chortles brokenly, “You’re jealous? Of Zuko?”
She manages to compose herself, now grinning amusedly, and nudges his legs so that she may plop into his lap, curling her arms around his neck, one hand coming up to gentle stroke his face. 
“He’s like a brother to me,” she reassures him, locking eyes to prove the point. “And yes, we have a lot of fun together and he makes me laugh, but half the time I’m laughing at him more than with him.” 
Zhao swallows thickly, hanging on every word.  
“So... you don’t... ?” 
Yue laughs again. 
“No, I very much do not.”
Somehow that makes Zhao feel a lot better. 
He hiccoughs, mutters an apology for his unseemly state. Yue pulls away the glasses barely dangling from his nose and sets them back on his desk. With his eyes unobstructed, she wipes the stray trails of moisture that have leaked from them with her thumbs. He allows it, eyes drifting down somewhat embarrassedly, only to catch sight of the gentle glow of red around her throat. 
Zhao decides that he’ll save some of his other worries for another day.

But like, imagine Sokka making his way to the Fire Nation and learning Zhao’s address and disguising himself as Wang Fire, soldier/psychologist/loving father, so that he can rescue Yue. And Yue, who desperately wants to be useful, has offered to look after one of the servant’s babies for the day and is bouncing this yellow-eyed little pile of lumps on her hip when she opens the door. And THEN, Zhao comes around the corner to see who’s knocking at his door and he just, absentmindedly does the finger wiggle thing that all dumb adults do and the baby reaches out and bites him and he doesn’t miss a beat, just looks at Yue and says, “Yup, she definitely takes after you, this one.” And he just walks away, all the while Sokka’s mouth is hanging down so low he might trip on it.

The Gaza strip was bombed throughout Christmas day and I'm ashamed that I didn't know about it until now, I instead wasted my time talking about a racist movie that'll be forgotten in a month. If you have the money please donate to a Palestinian relief fund such as the one below.

Sad captive!Yue endings that will forever haunt my brain because I actively refuse to write them:
- Zhao has all the necessary paperwork drafted for a divorce and insists that they go through with it so that Yue can leave him without complication and return to her people, free from the Fire Nation.
- Following Ozai’s defeat, a massive military tribunal is undertaken, and Jeong Jeong (among others) pushes for severe punishment in Zhao’s case. He spends the rest of his life in prison. Yue can visit him, but it’s a wretched way to live.  
- Zhao dies during the Day of Black Sun and Yue has to contend with the fact that her former friends are indirectly responsible for his death. 
- Yue dies / is somehow returned to the moon. Not sure how, but you can bet that Zhao becomes nocturnal overnight and spends all his time staring tearfully into the sky. 
- Following Ozai’s defeat, Yue is given a chance to be with Sokka and the rest of the Gaang and realizes just how contrived the circumstances of her relationship with Zhao have always been. She asks for some time to herself, which he agrees to, knowing that she’ll probably never come back to him, and hating himself for hoping that she might. 
- Ozai gets progressively crazier as they get closer to the day of Sozin’s comet and decides at some point that they don’t need Yue to control the north, and sees ordering her death as doing a favor for his poor loyal admiral, who has had to endure being tied to her for long enough.

I think as a culture we have all forgotten that fandom is supposed to be fun.
It’s not that serious.
It was never supposed to be that serious.
Especially since most of the drama and hurt revolves around shipping.
All of the ships are fictional. Being canon doesn’t actually negate the fact that the ship isn’t real. 
No ship, or any aspect of a fictional universe, is important enough to treat another real life human being badly. 
It’s not that serious.
