tamsyn muir gives her most homoerotic of storylines to her most heterosexual of couples

#the locked tomb #trb.txt #when you love him but your love is FORBIDDEN but you decide to DO IT ANYWAY and risk it all and then make him your cav primary and then you #adopt 2 gay teenagers #when you have an overseas situationship that you can NEVER resolve and never make into anything more but they're still there in your pocket #when you know each other's deepest secrets but dont know what they look like and never will!!!!!! #the unwanted guest

Okay but TSP/Portal crossover AU is such a cool concept, how have I never thought about that before?? I'd like to request Narra and GLaD hanging out watching their respective little guys go through tests like 'can you believe them they're so dumb <3'

Day 30 - They're absolute hellions

Bonus:

Noooo, my bucket!!

#My art #Requestober #Portal #The Stanley Parable #TSP #GLaDOS #The Narrator #Stanley #Chell #They're just all so antagonist towards others lol #I think Stanley is a terrible influence paired with just about anyone but honestly I think Chell would adopt him haha #She is also a chaos gremlin and enjoys taunting and flouting the ''rules'' - deservedly lol #It's hard to imagine GLaDOS or the Narrator just accepting that they've been dropped into a crossover haha #They're both so fixated on their respective protagonist that someone else is just strange! Odd!! Unwanted!! #And at least GLaD and Chell are at the homefield advantage - the boys are in a whole new environment! #The Narrator would freak the heck out lol - but if they got past the initial without everything combusting- #Well actually I can imagine GLaDOS getting fed up with Narra hogging the PA just to say what Stanley is/should be doing lol #''He is clearly ignoring you why do you bother'' ''It's my job! My duty!'' *explosion* Pfft #I do like the idea of GLaDOS referring to other people's test subjects by other lesser names #Something along the lines of I'm the only one who gets to call mine a test subject because I'm doing Real science haha #All these dynamics! How the two protags would react to each other and their respective voices reaction to each other and each's inverse #Too many to think about right now lol gimme a sleep or two on it haha #Although Portal/TSP crossovers have been around since they both existed concurrently ♪ Still they're fun to think about! #It is fun to imagine Stanley following behind Chell through the portals until he gets distracted #It becomes a bucket quest real fast lol - They poke around Rattman's bunker and Chell gets sad and Stanley ''helps'' with a distraction #Trimming GLaDOS down and doing a halfbody for Narra and then chibis for the rest - it's all about the right math right? Right lol #Only one more! Ahh!

Pedophiles when they heard that Roe v Wade got overturned and now there’d be a whole new generation of unwanted kids for them to victimize: ‘pro life win abortoids stay malding’

Ghouls when they’re told that murdering babies is not a constitutional right: “FINE I guess we’ll just have to molest them.”

#1. Do you have any idea how long the waiting list is for adopting newborns. there’s no such thing as an unwanted child. #2. They’ve done studies and most victims of child abuse WERE wanted as shown by the mothers’ behavior while pregnant #3. Child abuse is not a given for any child in any situation. #4. Even if it were: being abused does not make your life not worth living

Actually probably the most healing and productive narrative consequence to Leo’s resurrection could have been him having to work for Asclepius.

Whatever powers that be see it as a punishment for both sides but these are two isolated people who care a lot. It’s a peaceful welcome for Leo, which is something he needs, and he doesn’t even realize how much so.

And yeah, Asclepius had to be tricked into helping them with the cure but he treated them without prompting or desire for anything in return, which is very ungodlike.

And Leo has just faced the culmination of his destructive abilities and been destroyed by them, saved the world with them and there is something so soft and freeing about not being expected to break anything anymore. Instead he gets to help with and eventually learn how to fix things- to heal people. He once regretted how he couldn’t fix Jason’s injuries because people weren’t as simple as machines, but he could learn, and learn from the best.

And more likely than not, having a connection to the outside world that lasts longer than a few minute might change the doctor’s mind about staying in his little prison. It’d be only fair for all he’s done for Leo.

Basically, Asclepius being the parental figure Leo deserves and Leo getting to find something on his own that makes him happy.

#always and forever on my Asclepius appreciation agenda #he was so genuinely nice you guys #leo valdez #Asclepius pjo #hoo #heroes of olympus #blood of olympus #the foundation was there you guys #the idea of leo bring a healer is v important to me #jason grace #there’s jokes about Apollo adopting unwanted demigods but his own son was primed to do it too

100% don't punish the growl and listen to your dog and your puppy is not an evil mastermind AND ALSO seeing how Melis behaved today and latey, feeling very validated in our approach to her outbursts of screaming thrashing gnashing teeth being less "sorry sorry never mind" and more "ok buddy are u sure though"

time will tell if she has another ride on the melty brain hormone train coming (Sparta didn't - but she might) but at this moment in time, Melis is a pretty tolerant, people-oriented, socially intelligent little dog who's displaying some very pleasant traits. and who has not growled or snarled or gotten near threshold in many months. at this rate our worst puppy might end up our best dog

#her impulse control is tons better (as one expects when they start to hormonally mature a bit) #and its not so much about teaching her to moderate her behaviour anymore as it seems like she finally understands #that the best way to the best outcome for her is simply to #behave. and take it easy. and trust us and the environment to make things work out in good ways #conflict free resolutions etc #to be fair i think melis has ALWAYS been socially intelligent #i dont think she wouldve adopted the behaviour style she had if she wasnt. she learned VERY EARLY (pre-8wks) #that if she blustered big enough she'd win anything. and that became the most convenient and successful way for her to behave #so all we really had to do was make that behaviour inefficient. not punish it - that wasnt necessary #because the wanted behaviour requires less of her than the unwanted one does #anyway i love her and her remorselessness to bits and now we can foster her need for chaos and violence in productive and harmonious ways #<3

Oooo so wait Cinder and Bracken are no longer in the same litter as Thorn and Bright? Were they kits who survived the plague that Frostfur adopted?

They're from an older litter! I batted around a few ideas, but the logistics just pushed me towards splitting them into 2 litters

Bracken and Cinder are 6 months older than their younger siblings. Lionheart, unfortunately, never got to see his second litter, and Frostfur is only going to learn she's pregnant after he's gone.

#Though I wouldn't have minded having them be foundlings #Or adopted from someone else in the Clan who had an unwanted pregnancy #I haven't designed them yet though so there's still time for them to not be her biokits #Bone babble

this random fucking girl just walked into the ranger centre, dropped off an egg that she didn’t want and left like. ma’am. at least tell us what’s IN IT

#correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think caring for unwanted domestic eggs is a ranger job actually #like maybe take that to a daycare or an adoption centre #pkmn irl #pokeblogging

The Doctor Who tag needs more Sunday family gifs. They're all just too adorable, and I'm including the new baby, too. It's just too much cute to ignore.

#but especially ruby and Carla #that was so unexpected and healing to watch #and i think too #you see teens just annoyed with their parents #but i really loved seeing a 19-year-old really love the ppl who raised her #and not desperate to get far away from them #it's extra surprising in a sl about an adopted child cause #they usually write adopted children as feeling lost and unwanted #doctor who #ruby sunday #carla sunday #cherry sunday

[girlwithfish]

also he asked a kinda personal question and i was talking abt it but felt very embarrassed and it also took me a long time to articulate when I cld have said it more succinctly w less pauses and such...felt kind of embarrassed after bc im like why am I not normal abt anything. but idk a little vulnerability is good I suppose. 😕

#he asked if i feel any connection to my chinese heritage #and then i gave some complicated nonsensical answer abt feeling disconnected and alienated etc #Which was weird to talk abt out loud bc i realize i never really have talked abt it out loud much to anyone #or maybe ever #so its weird to say out loud #like theres always gonna be some gap or emptiness etc #And i didnt rly articulate it that well but i was thinjing abt it now but i also dont like feeling #like a spectacle ? i guess #Even if ppl dont intend to make u feel that way but i really dislike ppl/strangers or ppl who i dont know well butting in to my personal #life #or like being asked why i dont look like my parents as a kid or ppl inquiring abt my adoption #even tho ik its 'innocent' curiosity it def makes me feel like a spectacle of some sort #and tied w feeling alienated and even mkre like a spectacle esp when i worked in retail and wld encounter a lot of ppl and would get #asked alll the time where am i from its very annoying and i #think i dont like the unwanted attention and also again ppl idk getting into my business LOL #And then theres also the shame that comes w being around or encountering other chinese ppl or older chinese ppl and #having ro explain i dont speak the language or i dont have chinese parents #its like i would rather not have to talk abt a personal aspect of my life to strangers at all tbh. idk if thats odd #and esp when my personal experiences as an adopter kinda get talked over by my parents or other ppl idk #idkkk #i dont think he rly knew what to say hah and he said it seemed like a sensitive subjwct bc i spent like ten minutes(jk) tryig to articulate #But like ofc i like being chinese but ik im not chinese in the same way as others may be #Even tho i am. but yk what i mean #but he was rubbing my leg affectionately while i talked and listened even tho i was taking like 8 minutes to answer a simple question #Idk

[paranoidgemsbok]

dude every time i see ‘pet’ parrots, especially macaws, it just bums me the fuck out

#listen...not to be mean but parrots are inherently unethical to keep as pets #i mean this entirely as 'buying from a breeder/pet store' not from a rescue standpoint #like theres an ocean of unwanted neurotic birds and anyone who can appropriately adopt one is a saint #but like...........god...........you see these beautiful smart animals who pluck themselves bare #and it just SUCKS that people do this to them #like you cannot simulate an appropriate environment for an animal that lives in massive flocks and mates for life and flies miles every day #get a chicken. get a fancy pigeon. get some turkeys. or fuck even peacocks if you have space

[skunkg1rll]

i love my cat and dog sm i'd kill myself if i didnt have them 🐱🐶

#i miss my bunny sm 🐰 i miss him so so so much i will never stop missing him #i hope to one day take care of hamsters and later rats <3 (but i want to adopt abandoned or unwanted ones not buy them in a store eww)

What's Really Going On

Pro Lifer: Well the mother should just give the baby up for adoption if she doesn’t want the baby

Me: So who will adopt the baby?

PL: I don’t know there’s lots of couples who want to adopt

Me: Do you know any couple who is waiting to adopt?

PL: Um well not personally but like I know there’s lots of people waiting to adopt.

Me: Do you know what a domestic adoption costs?

PL: I don’t know. $15,000 maybe?

Me: The average cost of domestic adoption in the United States is $70,000 if you go through a private agency.

PL: Oh I didn’t realize it was that much

Me: Yep it’s really expensive. It can be more if you want a newborn straight from the hospital. Up to $120,000.

PL: Well all life is precious.

Me: it really is. I’ve adopted through foster care and am currently a licensed foster parent. Would you be interested in becoming a foster parent yourself?

PL: Oh no I couldn’t do it.

Me: Why not?

PL: It would just be too much for me right now.

Me: Why is that?

PL: It would be too hard to handle all the issues that came with it. I’ve heard horror stories.

Me: Yep it can be extremely difficult. But what if I told you that you were required by law to become a foster parent?

PL: what?

Me: what if you had to become a foster parent by law?

PL: they would never do that. That would never happen.

Me: Well, if a woman is forced to bear a child she doesn’t want, and she goes ahead and has that child, someone has to care for the child either through adoption or foster care. You have to do one of those two things.

PL: But I don’t want any more kids.

Me: So you don’t want someone forcing you to have a child in your home that you don’t want or aren’t able to care for?

PL: no, that’s not my job to raise someone else’s child.

There it is, folks. Have the baby, but we don’t want anything to do with it afterwards.

But, let’s ban abortion…

So my neighbor a few weeks back threatened to shoot my dog because he's "terrified of dogs and Reese keeps charging the fence and going onto their property" (not true, if Reese ever does cross over it's maybe by six inches to pee on the fence post) so as a gesture I patched the very tiny gap between the snow fence and property fence and considered the matter done.

Except.

My neighbor has always stared me and my dogs down whenever I'm out with them, which is annoying to all of us, but now he's started using a turkey call to try to bait the dogs into going over there, and while my dogs have a trained Leave It command and will ignore it the fact that he's doing this is infuriating and now I have to make sure I constantly have a camera on me to try to catch him in the act so I can go to the police. I'm losing my fucking mind, for a man that's apparently terrified of dogs the fact that he waits to see if I'm out with them and then comes out to stare at us, and now this, is driving me up the fucking wall. This man has played with Reese when he was a puppy. He knows Reese is a super friendly dog. And where I am I can't do anything about it without evidence, and I KNOW he's trying to bait my dogs into going near the fence so he can shoot them and claim they charged the fence.

This is what I mean when I say certain commands can be life saving, btw. Because my dogs are REALLY having a hard time ignoring that turkey call, especially when he's walking up and down his driveway to taunt them, and without the training they have I have no doubt they would have walked over to see what's up and been hurt.

#i literally cant do anything without some form of evidence #and its fucking driving me up the wall #hes been like this ever since i put the chicken fence up #and now all I hear from over there is screaming about the fence #and whenever they see me out there working on it theyll open their garage windows #crank the stereo and just blast the same song on repeat #and then leave the property #considering adopting every single fucking unwanted rooster in the state now #his driveway is literally flush against the property line too #so all my dogs seenis someone pacing on the other side of the fence staring at them #which is a great experience to try to wrangle GSDs from

Hmmm nope we're past the 24h threshold we're officially paat the "down bad" line.

"I want this attention from you" is fucking cocaine directly into my heart

#I'm chronically overexcitable so I'm DEFINITELY overreacting #but I already liked her quite a bit so here we are #'I'm annoying and secretly unwanted' is a weapons-grade anxiety so that was a punch directly in the squishies #also just casually googling the state of the industry in her country... Like I'm more RATIONAL than that but I like knowing my options right #Its an accent I could adopt happily...
