#so he doesn't fit in fish hides I can find at the pet store
Text
I need a way for my turtle to get up the her basking platform and I was wondering what people thought about a duplo block staircase (big legos). I did a quick google and most sites agreed that lego bricks don't leech chemicals, but should not be put in aquariums bc they have sharp edges, can be swallowed, etc. I was wondering what people thought about duplos though? Google searching for duplos safety specifically just brings up legos

Pets They Would Have pt. 2
Karasuno
Hisashi Kinoshita
Tumblr media
Hisashi is a Train Company Employee. This means he works a lot of hours and just does not have the time to take care of, love and train any other pets
Fish are a really easy to take care of
All you have to do is remember to feed them and have a water filter to constantly clean their aquarium
Some fish, if handled when young, can get big and will let and love for you to pet them
But, they also are just very nice to have
Just to watch them swim around all of the plants with the light on at night
As I said, they don't need alot either
Hisashi could just let them be
They wouldn't beg or need constant love and attention like a mammal (dog, cat, rat, bird)
They also don't need constant vigilance for health issues or specialized diets like amphibian and reptilian pets
Hisashi is going to be tired when he gets home from work, so he needs a pet that is more ornamental than a chore
I feel if Hisashi were to have fish, he'd get the weirdest ones in the pet store
Hisashi seems to have a very strong inner child
So he would want either the flashiest fish, or the ones that cause a double take everytime their passed by in the store
He may get only one or two or get a whole tank full
I honestly feel like it could go one of two ways:
A- He has an aquarium for a wall in his house filled with his wild choice in fish or
B- He has a small, round, spherical bowl with two fish in it
It'd be funny if he had just the two fish to start with then they had babies even though the worker said they were both female
Obviously they weren't
They laid eggs and he had to transfer the female and daughters to one large tank and the father and sons to another so they wouldn't keep having babies
After this he has like 14 fish in total
Then he keeps finding himself at the pet store looking at the "ugly" fish no one wants
He buys these fish and ends up having two tanks that cover a whole wall
One's for his male fish the others for the females
But he screws up and learns the hard way that clownfush can change genders to help make babies
I'm being terrible to this poor guy let me stop
He so would be that fish owner to get real plants and "not those toxic plastic ones, how do they not hurt the fish???"
I honestly love the thought of Kinoshita just spacing out in front of his fish as he just watches them swim and do their own thing
Or if he were to only have a couple fish and he lets them get really big and pets them
Kazuhito Narita
Tumblr media
Now, I know what you're thinking
Aren't Ferrets incredibly high maintenance?
Not really
Kazu ends up working at a Realty Firm
Generally their work hours are supposed to be around 40 hrs a week
But they often have to stay longer considering most clients can only meet up on weekday afternoons
So this means Kazu has to work a lot
Ferrets may be mischievous and a little destructive, but that's easy to fix
If a ferret is to be left at home alone for hours at a time, just get it a really big cage and tons of toys to play with
Plenty of food and water too, of course
But ferrets are honestly pretty chill
All they need is for you to clean out their cage around once a week, some light grooming here and there, and some time to run around
Apartment or house doesn't matter with ferrets
They love to just mess around and only need a couple hours of free time a day
They sleep most of the day, 17 to 20 hours usually
They also aren't very vocal
They have a specific noise they make when excited thats barely heard by most human ears
Fun fact about ferrets is they actually have pretty poor eyesight, but their sense of smell and hearing more than make up for it
The only real problems Kazu would have to worry about are hairballs getting lodged and dental issues, no different than a cat
I didn't pick a cat though bc, Kazu seems like the kind of person to have something that doesn't get riled up on a whim like a cat
Cats often have unpredictable moods, ferrets on the other hand can be energetic but won't get into a bad mood at the drop of a pin
They're generally very fun loving
Though, it is always recommended to get a pair
Ferrets are highly social animals, so they would need a buddy for when your not able to be there for them
Kazu would probably get one almost all white ferret and one almost all dark brown ferret for the symbolism
I love the thought of Kazu wrestling with one ferret, it wrapped around his hand, and then the other one if climbing on his back and sliding down the back of his shirt in playful retaliation
Tobio Kageyama
Tumblr media
I really really wanted to give Tobio a turtle, but with him being a volleyball player in his adult life, that just won't work
Turtles need very specific temperatures and surroundings so they can live happily and healthily
I honestly feel in terms of personality, nothing but a cute little Eastern Box Turtle would fit him perfectly
I honestly struggled to find something that, to me, fit Kageyama Tobio but also would be manageable for him as a pro athlete
He's a very complex character and something with fur or feather just did not seem to suit him to me
The only problem is.......reptiles and amphibians are generally really demanding pets
From the food they eat, the the temperature their home has to be set at, its a lot of constant care
Some of them may not like constant physical touch, but they still need to be cleaned and have a constant watchful eye to check for any skin abnormalities
I decided on the African Fire Skink after much much MUCH consideration
These lizards don't get large, onky around 14-15 inches
And, unlike many reptilian nd amphibian pets, they don't require any specific heating or lighting
As long as your house isn't like consistently hot or cold or constantly changing between the two, their fine
They do need a substantial amount of dirt to dig and hide in
They mostly eat insects and one very rare occasion would appreciate a pinky mouse
These lizards are also shy and like to be admired from a distance
They don't like to be touched too much
They also have few and far between health problems uike other lizards
The only real problem is you can't find them at local pet stores but, they generally sell for around 25-70 USD
They also live for around 15-20 years
I feel like Tobio would have gotten his lizard as a middle schooler bc he didn't have very many friends, but he also didn't want a really needy pet since he doesn't know how to socialize well
Since this lizard like to be left alone, he could admire it from afar and this lizard could help him learn how to social better
Sorta.....
Imagine Tobio at a table in his room, doing some homework and the little Skink is just lazing about in a sunspot next to him 😍
Shoyo Hinata
Tumblr media
YES YOU ARE SEEING CORRECTLY
At first for Shoyo I thought, okay maybe a hamster or a Guinea Pig or something like that
Ya know, something small but mighty and also, incredibly cute!
But I took a look at a list of pets that travel well and one of pets that can be left at howm for days with a proper care taker
I nearly shot myself bc I totally forgot that Hermit Crabs can be pets!!!!!
And they suit Shoyo so well!!!
They are small and sturdy
They fight back and pinch when threatened but can be very nice little pets to have
Hermit Crabs also love, sadly, for only around 10 years and can grow up to 6 inches long
Also, three to five shells per crab should be available
I am living for the idea that Hinata bought a bunch of shells for his crabs and painted them with little volleyballs and crows and ornage and black 🥺
These are good bc as long as you have someone reliable to feed them when they need to be while you're gone
Usually, if they're small, they're tiny wittle claws can't grab onto pellet food, so heir is a specific kind of almost dust like food for Hermit Crabs
Also, dark leafy greens like kale and broccoli or fruits like apples, bananas, and grapes are good too
Just choo them up really really tiny
They also need 2-3 inches of soil, silica play sand, and (optional) coconut fibers for them to burrow in when they molt
They also need a place for water to keep their little shells moist
They also need specific temps and maybe even mist their terrarium with water now and again
Something that us important and why Shoyi would need someone to come in and check on them is bc they are every vulnerable when molting
When a Hermit Crab molts they need to be separated from others so they don't get hurt
Like with many smaller pets you also have to thoroughly wash your hands before and after you touch them
Shoyo would fight Tobio when Tobio said his Crabs are boring and go into a long detailed argument about how each Crab has his/her own personality and how interesting they are
Kei Tsukishima
Tumblr media
Did you expect this Dino loving nerd to have anything else other than a reptile?
I tried to find one, as you can imagine, that would fit his adult life schedule but also his personality
I really wanted to give him an Iguana or Chameleon butbthey were really demanding with care
Now.....I know
Anole are native to the Southern US and Southern Hispanic countries such as Mexico, Clolombua, and Venezuela
They are around 20cm long and only live a very short 3-5 years
Also if you own many most should be female and only one should be male if you choose to have any males at all
The males get very territorial and will fight one another
Also the males flair our their dewlaps (skin flap under their chin) in defense and when they feel threatened
The dewlaps are usually pink, red, or on the rare occasion blue
Females have these as well but don't flair them out as much
Anoles are very high energy but don't care to be touched too much
These lizards also can't be picked up by their tales as they have evolved to lose their tales and grow them back
Kei would like these as they are so odd
They're not only descendants of Dinosaurs but they can lose their tales and grow them back at will???
I feel like Kei would constant have new ones
His massive tank (you need big ones for these guys, they are very active and will resort to cannibalism if their space is too small) is never empty, always at least three
He has analbum on his phone of all of the Anoles he's owned and maybe even has a picture book with their names on it
Yamaguchi to this day is the o ky one that has had the privilege to see said book
Yamaguchi is also the only person Kei trusts to take care of his precious Anoles
And when one dies he has really small but none the less grand ceremony for a descendant of the mighty race of Dinosaurs
Yamaguchi always helps him set these up
I fell like he would give them really weird names as well
Like twig, stick, sock, glove, kneecap or some weird shit idk
I'll have Yamaguchi, Yachi, Yui, Natsu, and Saeko in the next one
My requests are open and I hope you enjoyed

Fluff prompt for Fish!Fenders. lol I just want someone to write about my lovely betta boys crossing the Waking Sea, escaping their various captivities, and finding themselves sharing shelf-space as aquarium neighbors. Maybe Marian is their new human owner. Maybe Isabela & Merrill stop by and ship them. And maybe Merrill doesn't understand what boats have to do with the two fish. I dunno. Honestly, ANYTHING!
ooooh, this is my first DWC prompt for @dadrunkwriting, and it’s a beauty! Two beauties in fact.. hopefully this little snippet is cute :D
“Ohhhh! These ones look so sad!” 
In Kirkwall’s local pet store, three faces crowded one other to look at two small tanks on the bottom shelf. Their objects of scrutiny indeed looked as if they had been there quite some time, their colors slightly dulled. In one tank, a coal-black betta covered in white markings flared his gills in their direction. The other tank held a golden betta with markings a color they couldn’t quite figure out, as it’s fins drooped and the fish didn’t move. 
“Mare, they look like they’re going to keel over the moment you bring them home,” Carver huffed as he stood up and began looking at the other tanks. 
Marian sighed and turned to Carver as Bethany cooed over both of the fish. “Isabela said I could have pets, but they couldn’t have fur. They just need bigger tanks and proper care…“
“They’re both boys, Mare. You’d definitely have to keep them separated,” Bethany chimed in, pointing at the tags beneath each tank. “I bet this gold one will be really pretty once he has room to swim again.” 
Carver made a small noise of disgust and muttered, “The other fish looks more bad-ass.” 
Marian clapped her hands together in victory. “Oh, good! A vote for each!” She looked over as the black fish turned its attention to the gold fish in the other tank. “They’re going to be perfect, I’ll have them healthy in no time.”
Fenris still wasn’t quite sure how he got into this predicament. The first thing he remembered was staring at his... fish face. It took him a good few minutes to realize that it was his reflection he was looking at in that small cramped, underwater space. Everything felt wrong. Fins. He floundered a bit until he could make sense of how these infernal things worked. His small bowl had been touching another, and he turned around to see another fish that looked.. well... defeated. He felt.. gills... yes, that’s what was flaring on the side of his face in frustration. It was just some other random fish that had been here forever and looked ready shove off the mortal coil. 
And now? Some humans had taken both himself and the other sad fish off the shelf. After a tumultuous ride and strange transition, he was in a larger tank. There was a decorative wine bottle leaning against the side with a plant in the middle sticking out of it. He quickly found refuge hiding behind it as one of the humans peered inside. The human was yelling at one of the others about calling him ‘Skunk’. He felt himself flare in disgust once more, especially after hearing one of the girls call the other fish ‘Sunrise’. That had to be a joke. Sunset would be more fitting for something that acted like it was dying. 
When the human’s face was gone, he swam out to check on the other fish. It was actually far more animated than it had been in that small bowl. The golden fins flared out and little stripes of blue shimmered through the fins.
“I can hear your thoughts from here, you know.”
Fenris realized the other fish had come to the side of his tank and was staring. 
“We can’t talk, not like this, but I know you can hear my thoughts.” The fish’s gills flared as he.. he thought at Fenris? “You were the first one in a while that I could actually hear in that shop, so I know you’re not really a fish either. I’m Anders.”
“I don’t remember anything, how this happened... All I know is that I am not a fish,” Fenris thought desperately, “I am Fenris.”
He watched Anders carefully, fish features were not something he could read in the least.. why would that even be a thing? This was insane.
“Well, Fenris. All I know is that unless one of us can magically start talking in this form, there’s not much else we can do to fix it. I don’t see any libraries or fish-sized smartphones that we can reach out with. I’m just going to enjoy being out of that cramped bowl for the time being.”
It was true, there was no way to communicate with their keepers. He didn’t know how he got here, and there was quite possibly no way out. He retreated back to the wine bottle trying to hide out of sight from Anders, from his keepers. to hide his newfound hopelessness at his situation. 
To wonder why, of all things, did this all feel so damned familiar. 
And that’s when the glowing started.
How did they get here? What happens next? /shrug @capri I hope this is a good little start at least :)
