Wish us luck. She's my baby y'all. I adore this little creature. I just love her so much. She's so sweet. I was having a panic attack 3 days ago and she was on my chest. She ran further up my body and wiggled tight against my neck and it calmed me down. I love her so much.
my secret 3-day cosplay is finished!!! i sewed the shirt from scratch, hand made the jewelry, and heavily altered the jacket. ive been having a blast cosplaying such a well known and loved character as opposed to the largely obscure guys i normally go for. i talked my fiance into closet cosplaying a masc version of sophie and i think we're pretty cute together ❤️
Thinking about how i tuck my bearded dragon in with the care of a newborn child every night.
Her routine is as follows:
Small snack
A few more minutes of run around time in my room
By this time she is either at my bed trying to tuck herself in (she slept on my bed large bed with me when i first got her a few months ago) or she is nuzzling into me to cuddle
I hold her in my palm while speaking admirations and petting her head (sometimes she moves her head so i can get both sides properly)
I put her into my shirt against my collarbone where she knows it’s safe, dark, and warm
Then I heat up her warmie (stuffed bear filled with lavender rice)
After i do some writing and the warmie has cooled slightly, i set it next to my bed and create a mini cave over the bear with her favorite pink fleece blanket that I’ve so tenderly removed the tassels from so she doesn’t try to eat them (tassels are why i GOT the blanket to begin with/it astounds me the things we do for love)
Lastly i gingerly remove her from my shirt and place her inside her blanket cave on the teddy bear, where she snuggles into the bear with her lil eyes closed and melts my heart even more
I then softly pet her head a few more times before giving her a slow forehead kiss, and covering her almost all the way with the rest of the blanket
-
Each morning i can tell how long she’s been awake by how far her body is poking out from her cave. She never leaves it until i wake up to greet her and do our morning routine. So i get to wake up to her staring at me each day 😭
If i ever have to have anyone beardiesit, they’ll have an entire itinerary fs 🤷🏼♀️
the thing about bearded dragons is that when they’re happy and healthy, they are absolutely the most wonderful silliest little beasts you will ever have the pleasure of knowing. you will have them snuggling into you like a kitty cat. getting sweet little kissies from them. just an all around good friend.
but also they are shitty little toddlers who hate being healthy and happy and will develop an infection the very moment the season changes. or will seek out the one single cricket with parasites to gobble up. or will refuse to eat their vegetables with supplements sprinkled on top and develop metabolic bone disease. or will shit directly onto their food.
and none of the veterinarians within a 100 mile radius know anything about herpetology.
