DBH Children Headcanons

Just like to preface this by saying that I love making fan-children for my favourite ships so I don’t care about “oh they wouldn’t have kids” or “this doesn’t make sense”. This is for my own amusement so just letting you know before you go on.

Also, I can't draw for shit but if people like my dbh children and want to see more, I will make them on the Sims or online (dress up games) and post them here. Let me know if that's something that would be of interest. I'll also answer asks about them and whatever if anyone is interested

Taglist for those who said that they were interested in my headcanons: @sundownridge @kristopher-1105 @dbhstruggleposting @glass-noodle @fearlessjones @heiko-goes-detroit

Connor + Hank

Name: Nicole (named after Cole)

Birthday: May 21st (gemini)

Appearance: She has Hank’s eyes and Connor’s hair. Her hair is fluffy/curly (like Bryan’s hair) and its shoulder length, tied into a ponytail (she also has a fluffy/curly fringe similar to Connor’s)

Other features: She has Connor’s freckles (not exact but similar) and wears glasses (inspired by the popular headcanon that human Connor wears them)

Info/Background: So, my headcanon for their child is that Connor is the one who asks Hank if they can have a child. Connor has been seeing other androids having their own families and he wants one as well. He would never pressure Hank into this but Hank agrees of his own volition and even though he’s older now, a part of him wants to try again. They have a baby via science (it’s the future, doesn’t need to make sense, haha) Because it is through science, they’re able to give her Connor’s hair and freckles but her facial features (skin, shape of eyes, nose etc) come from Hank’s dna.

Personality: - Ok so, for their daughter, I headcanon her to be someone who is adventurous and loves to have fun. She loves being outdoors, being active and anything athletic, like sports and dancing - She loves the heat and hates the cold (this is a nod to how cole died) - Even though her name is Nicole, she prefers the name Nicky (Hank called her that in the beginning because he couldn't bear to say "cole" yet and it just stuck) - She knows different forms of self-defence, mainly due to Connor's influence and she loves it. She can pull of moves that even has Connor going "damn" - She smiles a lot, like a lot a lot. Very rarely will you ever see her not smiling and laughing

Favourites: - Colour: Pink/blues - Symbol: Heart

Jericrew

Name: Riley (named after Markus’ removed romantic interest, Riley)

Birthday: November 9th (scorpio)

Appearance: Similar to her game counterpart, except her braid goes down her back instead of to the side (to distinguish her from north but in my head, she wears her hair like north's because she admires her so much) and she has grey eyes (this is a nod to her eyes being blurred out in her images)

Info/Background: Riley is left at New Jericho’s doorstep. Jericrew know that they should hand her over to humans but despite the positive aftermath of the revolution, they are still distrustful of humans. By time they decide what to do, they have already fallen for her. After caring for her for a while, Markus is inspired to fight for androids rights to adopt human children. Of course, humans are not pleased about this and there is a huge argument and debate around it but eventually it is legalised and she becomes part of their family.

Personality: So, even though her personality isn't touched upon at all, I've come up with some traits from the information and pics shown in Riley's wiki - Becomes an artist (inspired by Markus) - Good listener and advisor - Self-confident and assured - Into the boho style - Loves plants and flowers - Well-educated (this part comes from Josh, who would have taught her a lot)

Favourites: - Colour: Jade - Symbol: Chevron

Markus + Simon

Name: Milo

Birthday: July 8th (cancer)

Appearance: He is African American with short brown Afro-textured hair, shaved at the sides and light brown eyes

Info/Background: Milo is adopted by Markus and Simon after Riley grows up a bit. I imagine that because Simon is a domestic droid, he loves kids and once Riley becomes older, he aches for having a little one around the house again.

Personality: - Him being into fashion and dressing cool (since people love how Markus and Simon dress) is always something that I've liked - Combination of Markus and Simon's traits (determined, loyal, soft etc etc)

Favourites: - Colour: Dark pink

Leo + KL900

Name: Scarlett (named after Carl)

Birthday: August 15th (leo)

Appearance: So, because she was created through science, she looks like Leo and a KL900 combined. She has black braided hair which is tied up into a high bun and she has Leo’s eyes.

Info/Personality: So, a little backstory on this crack-ship. Because KL900’s are created for social care, I headcanon that they have them in rehab centres. While at rehab, Leo meets a KL900 (which I have dubbed Kelly) and they fall for each other. Their daughter is born after Carl dies (of age) and Leo names her after him.

Personality: - Wants to become an actress - Has Leo's jealousy issues - Is confident in her abilities which makes her come off as a bit vain

Favourites: - Colour: Cyan - Symbol: Teardrop

Chris Miller

Name: Damian

Birthday: August 9th (leo)

Appearance: Ok this is just me but I headcanon that he dyes his hair part blonde during his teen years. I’m probably the only person whose given any thought about Damian’s appearance but ever since it entered by head, it won’t leave

Personality: - Ok, so because Chris' concept name was Chad, I headcanon Damian to be the definition of the slang meaning of a "chad" (but without all the assholishness that comes with it)

Favourites: - Colour: Beige

Name: Sarah

Birthday: June 30th (cancer)

Appearance: Chris’ hair/eye colour and Afro-textured hair that falls down to her shoulders

Info/Background: Not much to say except that I headcanon that he would have another child somewhere down the line

Personality: - She has a very "airy" personality. Like air, she's light, bouncy, free and just chill to get along with. She's gentle, caring, respectful and kind - Cries easily

Favourites: - Colour: Violet - Symbol: Butterfly

Gavin + Nines

Name: Curtis (named after Gavin’s concept name. Also Curtis means “polite/courteous and given Gavin’s personality, I think that is hilarious 😂)

Birthday: September 22nd (libra)

Appearance: He has Gavin’s eyes and Nines’ hair colour. His hair is a combination of Bryan’s curly hair and Gavin’s hair from the reed900 movies (I haven’t watched them but I’ve seen a lot of fan-art with Gavin’s hair drawn like his and it seems appropriate to give his son that hairstyle) Because it is through science, they’re able to give him Nines’ hair and freckles but his facial features (skin, shape of eyes, nose etc) come from Gavin’s dna.

Other features: He has Nines’ freckles (not exact but similar)

Info/Background: I headcanon that after Nicole is born, Nines and Gavin both get baby fever and want a child as well. Science baby, of course.

Personality: - So, I know that this isn't original but I like the idea of Gavin's kid being the opposite of him. Curtis is polite, courteous, well-behaved, never swears, humble, friendly, sociable, charming, funny, everyone who meets him just thinks he's so nice etc etc - But in saying that, there a few traits he gets from Gavin. He is ambitious and an over-achiever. He's not bookish per-say but wants to do his best at anything he tries - I know I said he never swears but that's more in general. He will swear if he's mad or if he hurts himself by accident (stubbing his toe etc) - Also, his first word was "phck" much to shock of both Nines and Gavin, the latter swearing black and blue that he never said it in front of him (he did)

Favourites: - Colour: Green

Tina + ST300

Name: Katie

Birthday: October 19th (libra)

Appearance: She has Tina’s eyes and Staci’s (my name for the st300) hair that is shoulder length and tied into two low pigtails

Other features: She has freckles like Staci

Info/Background: A couple years after Gavin and Nines have their child, Tina and Staci decide to have one through science as well. Because it is through science, they’re able to give her Staci’s hair and freckles but her facial features (skin, shape of eyes, nose etc) come from Tina’s dna.

Personality: - I headcanon that she has fanon Tina's personality. If you've ever read most reed900 fics, you'll know that Tina has been given the traits of "party-animal, doesn't take shit, loves to tease, always the optimism to Gavin's cynicism, always has her friend's backs etc" - Since we don't know much about canon Tina, I gave her fanon traits to Katie

Favourites: - Colour: Olive green - Symbol: Flower

Elijah + Chloe

Name: Adam (a nod to the first man on earth because Adam is the first human born from an android)

Birthday: February 3rd (aquarius)

Appearance: He has Eli’s hair colour (his original brown, not his dyed hair) and eye colour. His hair is half-shaven and swept to one side

Info/Background: I headcanon that Eli has been experimenting and he alters Chloe so that she is able to give birth to children. Eli tells no one until Chloe is pregnant. The world is informed and watches to see if it works. It does and even though only one was predicted to be born, they have twins. Because this is the first baby born through an android, only Kamski's dna is able to be used so he has his eyes, hair, facial features etc Personality: - Genius (like his father) - Relaxed and nonchalant. Not a serious person - Enjoys the spotlight and fame of not only being a Kamski but also being the first human born from an android - Frivolous with money - Social butterfly, loves being around people and going to parties - Loves being in public - Always in the media for somethingFavourites: - Colour: Blue

Name: Ava (a nod to Eve but the e’s are changed to a’s to be alliterate with Adam’s name)

Birthday: February 3rd (aquarius)

Appearance: She has Eli’s hair colour (his original brown, not his dyed hair) and eye colour. Her hair is long and styled into a high ponytail

Info/Background: Same as Adam’s

Personality: - Genius (like her father) - Business savvy and ambitious (I haven't picked a career for her yet but she becomes highly successful like Eli) - Workaholic - Stubborn - Studious - Unlike her twin, she is smart with money - Is wary of befriending people because of her fame and status - Prefers to keep her personal business private - Not a big fan of the media

Favourites: - Colour: Red - Symbol: Diamond

Name: Noah

Birthday: March 8th (pisces)

Appearance: He has Chloe’s hair and Eli’s eyes. He has long hair that falls to his shoulders

Info/Background: Ok, so originally he wasn’t supposed to exist but after coming up with his personality and why he exists, I couldn’t resist. So, the reason why he was born is because Chloe wanted a child that looked like her. Because she was the first android to have a child, only Eli’s dna was used so Adam and Ava only have Kamski dna. Noah is more mixed.

Other features: Wears glasses

Personality: - Genius (he is the smartest of the three children) - So personally, I don't believe that Eli is evil but I know that it's a popular interpretation in the fandom so I went with it for his son - He is sociopathic and sadistic. He is reclusive, hates humanity and only respects his mother and other androids - He hates his father (because eli didn't want another child but only did it because chloe wanted it so while noah and chloe are extremely close, he isn't close with his father at all) - Because he is the third Kamski child, he isn't paid as much attention to as the other two by the public because he doesn't go out or isn't venturing into the business scene so this has left him bitter and jealous of his siblings - Wants to lead another android revolution and believes that androids should be ruling the world, not humans - Is loyal, obedient and very nurturing towards Chloe - To me, if I was a fic writer, Noah is someone who would be the big bad so his fate is that he would either end up dying or going to jail

Favourites: - Colour: Purple

Other

So, I made this next character purely for the purpose of shipping her with another one of my character's, Nicole but I lover her so much now that even if I changed my mind, she's staying

Name: Samantha Stern

Birthday: October 28th (scorpio)

Appearance: She has human Amanda's facial features, hair and eye colour. Her hair is straight and long

Other features: She wears glasses

Info/Background: Samantha Stern is a relative of Amanda Stern (the human amanda). She lived in England until she moves to Detroit. She meets Nicole in her young adult years and she ends up being a kindergarten teacher. I'm 50/50 on this but I like her having a british accent

Personality: - She is the opposite of AI Amanda in every way - She is an open book, has a warm attitude towards everyone, open to change, can be absent minded at times, encouraging, understanding, forgiving, compassionate and gentle - She's also independent and prefers to make her own way in life - When it comes to clothing, she hates big/dangly, shiny jewelery, long sleeved clothing and loves wearing dresses, skirts and shorts

Favourites: - Colour: Yellow - Symbol: Star

[fuckyeahpunkflower]

Guys guys guys its AU time! With older Miles(18) and older Hobie (20). (Also no spider man powers, normal times)

Miles is attending a prestigious University in Northern New York after years of studying and applying for scholarships at Visions. Rio and Jefferson are super proud of him although a bit sadden that their baby boy is now a young man leaving the house.

On the plus side, Miles is SUPER stoke to finally FINALLY have his very own dorm ALL TO HIMSELF! no more cramped spaces, uncomfortable bunk beds or missing shoes (that somehow always made an appearance again when Ganke returned to the room) Miles admits he will miss Ganke but they'll definitely catch up over some games on the PS4 and summer breaks.

But the best part about this university in Mile's opinion is the fact they allow pets on campus and in dorms. Which means he can live his dream of owning a dog. He's always wanted a dog since he was a kid but his parents never thought he was responsible enough to take care of it ( but mainly because Rio and Jefferson didn't want to deal with a toddler and training a puppy at the same time) Now that Miles is grown he's decided its time to make his own decisions. And that decision was to get a dog the moment he moves into his dorm. It took him 2 weeks to get settled in with his belongings and getting familiar with his classes around campus but after that he was heading towards the nearest pet shelter he could find.

And here we enter Hobie Brown! He works at the local pet shelter which houses all sorts of abandoned and neglected pets. From your typical cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, and even fishes, Hobie is there to take care of them all! And on the weekends he playing with his band mates.

Anyway Cue Miles entering the pet shelter and he's immediately greeted with the site of Hobie. They make brief eye contact and Miles freezes in place lost in thought *Damn, I was not expecting to see someone so fucking cool and hot today oh my gosh get it together you're here for a dog you're here for a dog you're here for a-*

"You know usually people tend to rush straight to the pups and ignore me but with the way your staring at me right now I can't say I'm complaining. your face is the same shade as the pups little red rockets back there" Hobie snickers

"Bro WHAT!?" Miles yelled in utter shock. He was NOT prepared for any amount of what was said to him in that moment. "What- I mean- like man- that was the wildest response I've ever-" He stops rambling to gain his composure back. "Look man, I came in here hoping to adopt a dog, can you help me or what?"

Hobie looks at Miles with amusement in his eyes "Sure thing love, straight to the back we go!"

And that was Hobies and Miles first interaction at the pet shelter.

Back to the p o i n t!!!

This is basically a college Miles and pet shop worker Hobie (except its a shelter) AU merged into one. Basically Miles visits the shelter every week looking for a dog to adopt and Hobie shows him around. With each visit Miles begins to learn more about Hobie and his relationship with the animals at the shelter. Like how Hobie absolutely adores this grey African parrot that was left in the cage on the street. Its feathers are sparse and sheds but it loves to mimic Hobies Cockney accent.

Eventually Miles adopts a cute senior black Labrador named Orca due to the white and gray furs around her eyes. Even after getting his dog he still visits the shelter between classes to talk to Hobie.

So like yeah in order to keep this short before I literally write the first fucking chapter of this AU on here.

Miles is in college and develops feelings for Hobie while he helps him adopt a dog. They hang out sometime later and Eventually BOOM they're boyfriends :D

hii!! I’ve seen your style readings and i need help curating my style . I hope your having an amazing day ty in advance❤️

Description:female,5,2 lightskin African American with 3b-c type curly hair and hourglass figure

Hi ! Tysm for purchasing one of my style readings <3 I enjoyed putting this one together for u & I rlly hope u find it helpful !!

(Chart details were sent via DMs)

1H - Aries (ASC) + Taurus: Leathers, denims, chunky shoes, & piercings + hydrated skin, glowy makeup, & healthy hair. Combine feminine & masculine style elements to enhance ur beauty while still showcasing ur natal chart’s energy. Take xtra care of ur face, neck, + hair/scalp (as Aries rules the head & face and Taurus rules the neck!). To express ur Aries ASC, wear: hoop earrings, glasses/sunglasses, unisex clothing, outdoor/sportswear, tinted gloss, lashes, &/or a signature haircut/style (even better if it draws attention to ur face!)

2H - Taurus/Gemini: The 2H is all about self esteem, so incorporating the 2H into the way we style ourselves will give us more self confidence. Taurus, ruled by Venus, loves all things luxurious; u may look for high quality fabrics & brand names, and u likely feel more confident when wearing them. Gemini (ruled by Mercury) loves to be stimulated, so u may find that u look & feel ur best when playing w diff shapes, colors, & textures! Keep ur hands groomed- whether it be doing ur own simple mani’s or going for more intricate, fun sets of nails :) Wear rings (Gemini) & necklaces (Taurus) often.

Sun in Virgo (6H): The sun rules over self expression; we can use our sun signs as a tool for fashion, & doing so will bring forth more confidence, as well as make us feel more in tune w our charts. Your sun is in Virgo in the house of Virgo; subtle colors & solid prints are ur best move. Baby blues, pastel pinks, bluish reds, muted purples, greys, soft blacks, pale greens, + ivory. When shopping for new clothes, pay attention to the fit of the piece; for special clothing & events , look into getting ur pieces tailored ! W ur eye for detail, u’ll be sure to notice & appreciate the difference it makes.

Venus in Virgo (6H): Venus rules over personal aesthetics & all things "beauty”. Your Venus is in Virgo in ur 6H, same as ur sun. You’ll feel most like urself when ur look is simple & understated. Instead of applying full glam, opt for a glossy , glowy “clean girl” makeup look. When doing a heavier look, choose either the eyes or lips to embolden (not both!). Wear ur natural hair color & texture and find a few suitable ‘everyday’ hairstyles that u can rotate between.

<3

Pets

Carlos has his kitten. Ivy is taking care of Bee while he's in Auradon.

Mal has like, fifty snakes in her mom's garden. She gave all of them names and knows them on sight. They adore her and everyone freaks out because Mal has an army of snakes. She thinks this is ridiculous. They're just garter snakes and hognoses.

Jay has Lagan and Derelict. They have to live with Jade because his dad tried to sell them.

Evie feeds a scrawny cat who lives in her garden. She's named the cat Strange. Strange recently had kittens and Evie has named all five of them.

Claudine has rats. Well, okay, they're the rats in the basement and technically not pets, but they adore her and she loves them. There's around twenty and they all have names. They like to climb on her.

Tarzan has at least two hundred pets because he lives in the forest.

Tara has a freaking tiger. He's bigger than she is. Do not mess with her, her ability to speak to animals is probably the only thing keeping that tiger from killing people. The tiger is named Kitten and he wears little hats.

Hermie has a bear. She's one of Mor'Du's litter, so she's the size of a polar bear. Her name is Baby.

Reza has an African Grey named Jasmine to spite her father. Jasmine somehow always manages to say what Reza is thinking.

Chaos has a jumping spider. Want is no longer scared of spiders because of this jumping spider.

Arika has a skeleton cat. No one knows where she got it or why it still functions like an alive cat, but she has it and it does. She's named it Skelly.

Lydia kinda considers Josiah a pet in the most affectionate way ever. Her little monster.

Belle has a swan and Gaston fears that thing.

Ivy de Vil has Mor'Du. He tolerates her because she fought off Clayton.

Rick raises butterflies.

Veronica raises geese and they attack on command.

So playing online game apps to me as a drug study is like literacy....sciencepo and urbanization.....so my board kings wants me to upgrade my buildings all the time and this especially reminds me of luxemborg so I get to do memory imagination therapy.....and then i get to better define categories.....tycoon and alpha.......and both games make me steal from others and go to jail .......so thats important steal...jail steal jail........so now that I finished the baby portion of the gaming like mix blocks and number 2048.....which is just pure speed....its important because it really difficult to figure how to not fall when your that positive.....

Now I get to start the toddler drug study and the gaming lets me read.....so now I have Alek arena which is this serial killer fantasy their all super fantasy killers so you get to battle them against each other and not care or feel anything at all because their super fantasy killers and that's what they do .....

So that's that drug study like how would people relate if their kind of doped and Truman about people......she does that because as a child she was very bad....

And that's why I don't like sympathy the game has all these new outfits for the super fantasy killers and they get to ascend to new tactical development and they mostly fight each other about territory and all you have to think about is the tactical field....

So if the games are to be read that is just kind of mellow and I get to start thinking about joining graphic novel groups

Alpha and the helmet is?....owns the whole city

Roman Diego

Then I also color book online otherwise homelessness gets kind of stuffy about craft therapy.....

Sciencepo with June's journey also works well as an imagination therapy but not memory like factories chicks everywhere and they all have a mansion that sponsors their goddess type and you get to build your whole 18th century garden like Versailles outside your palace and

Because it lessens the time and labor for that pharmaceutical company....which was not applicable to issue because there was no 20th century history to the program....

Its just unrecoverable euthanize steal all off the struggling and unaware just a very very embarrassing expression for the American empire to admit to.....

Richard wright the communists will kill a lot of people if that pharmaceutical company keeps leaving people sick and communities debted to it's tragedy

The Columbians could reappropriate the durkheim christian settlements and prefer to work in the wilderness before those Africans first then ku Klux klan gives them cancer if we can't survive it they don't think they can fix it

So that's my krsna consciousness if it was called ones duty to reduce and remove mental pharmaceuticals as class action drug hazard serial killers i will learn phones till I've learned it and don't have to anymore.....

Erik Erikson....ever having to do Erik Erikson about psychology worse then Marxist gun fighters in the wilderness....

It could be all urbanized go before it's too late.....

Anyway reality is a zero gravity vacuum of little breath from intense survival anxiety and overwhelming obligation of feeling which i guess for some peoples duty to resolve conflict or see the good in people despite really awful failure....then fine but i find it vermis filled with grey and an unbearable lightness of being so I'm going to quarantine myself to video games and learning till that's not reality anymore but rather the reality of my fantasy

How A Pet Can Affect Your Relationship

HOW A PET CAN AFFECT YOUR RELATIONSHIP

For better or for worse, a pet can, and most definitely will, affect your relationship with your significant other or spouse. So, if you are considering becoming the parents of a "fur baby," here are some things to consider in making your decision. Some of these can be positive or negative - or both. It all depends on how you and your spouse or partner communicate and navigate through them. These generally apply to the most common pets – cats and dogs. However, you could apply many of these effects to a pet of any species or breed. - You will need to evaluate your relationship. Just how committed are you to your partner and this relationship? How would the pet be affected if you split up and went your separate ways? For instance, cockatoos live 40-60 years, so choosing one might be perfect for you if you see yourself rocking on the porch in your 70's with the birdcage between you. On the other hand, African Grey Parrot lives, on average, a mere 23 years. An indoor cat's life expectancy is

10-15 years, while dogs usually live from 8 to 11 years, depending on size and weight. If you are not reasonably confident that you will be together for the foreseeable future, then forego pet ownership in the present. Getting a pet that will end up in the pound, or worse,  is only selfish and irresponsible. On the other hand, if you choose to become "pet parents," it could mean that you are more serious and more committed to your relationship. In that case, owning a pet could benefit both you and the fur baby you choose. - You will develop a higher level of responsibility. There will be fewer last-minute trips and adventures unless they involve the ability to take your pet with you. Even then, you must make plans to accommodate your pet while traveling. If you are not taking your pet, boarding or scheduling a pet sitter will involve advanced planning and preparation. Sufficient food, water, and medications must also be provided or arranged for.   In other words, you will experience less spontaneity and more responsibility. - You may experience negative feelings. One of you may be more committed to the pet's care than the other. The lesser-committed partner may resent having to take care of the pet. Arguments could build around who bathes the dog or empties the cat's litter box. You may even discover that your partner is lazy or selfish because they don’t offer to help care for the pet when you are unable or unavailable. - You will become more active. This is especially true with a dog. However, there is no more sleeping in late with a dog or a cat. Instead, your "slow-start" mornings are accelerated by the need to take the dog out for a walk or your cat's persistence in being fed or paid attention to. A sedentary life is not healthy for you or your pet, so increasing activity can be a good thing. - You will become healthier. And along the same theme, in a study of 240 couples done by the American Heart Association, pet owners showed    "significantly smaller increases in heart rate and blood pressure in response to stress ."Another study found that dog ownership helps reduce mortality in people with cardiovascular disease, "with the likelihood of mortality being 4.05 times greater for those who did not own a dog." - You will be forced to communicate and operate as a team. You will need to discuss responsibilities such as who will buy the food and supplies, who will feed and water the pet, who will take the dog out or walk it, who will arrange for visits to the groomer and the veterinarian, etc. You will learn to work as a team and, in the process, sort out your differences, problem-solve, and communicate. - You will experience fun and enjoyment. No doubt, your pet will perform goofy or cute antics. They will bring out your own "inner child" as you engage in play with them. Training your pet can also cause you to learn new skills and afford you the satisfaction of having a well-trained animal. You may also simply enjoy the companionship of another living being in your living spaces. - You will practice conflict management skills. What if you are more structured in training and disciplining the pet? Who will "win" if one partner wants the pet to sleep on the bed, but the other is opposed to sharing their sleeping space? You will learn to negotiate and compromise, two valuable relationship skills in working it all out. - You could experience jealousy! Your pet is so cute, especially when it is a "baby ."Your spouse can't resist cuddling with it and giving it undivided attention. Sometimes, you may feel that you get less affection and attention than your pet. It is easy for jealousy to arise, and you must discuss it calmly with your spouse. It could be as simple as making sure that you greet each other with a hug and kiss before engaging with your pet. - You will feel more like a “family.” In sharing love and care for a pet, you will feel more like parents and more like a family that includes fur babies. There is a bond that develops when you both nurture and discipline a pet. You are giving your time, attention, and financial support to another living being – just like parents do for a child. A pet can be a good indicator of how you will function as a couple when or if you do have children. - You will develop experiential intimacy. Caring for a pet will be a shared experience between you. You will go through the ups and downs of pet ownership. This will strengthen your connection and feelings of closeness. - There will be more stress at times. The added responsibilities – feeding, walking, grooming and bathing, immunizations, pet illness, etc. – cause stress that must be addressed and considered. - You will have more – or less – time together. Taking your pet on walks or playing with them together can increase your time with each other. On the other hand, doing things with your pet separately from your spouse can decrease your time together. If your lifestyle is already busy and packed, you will want to choose a pet that gives you the opportunity to spend more time together. - You will have less free and “me” time. The demands of caring for a pet will take more of your free time. Ask yourselves and each other if you are willing to give up a significant part of your free time by becoming pet owners. Are you ready to get up earlier and forgo those extra "z's" to care for your pet? Will you leave social events earlier so that you can provide the care that your pet requires? - You will have less disposable cash. According to the ASPCA, at a minimum, for the first year, dog expenses are around $1,270, and cat expenses can run about $1,070. Emergency vet bills, a hidden cost, can be as high as $4,000, not to mention unexpected medications or vitamins. The Texas Society of CPAs provides a worksheet to break down the cost of owning a pet. Becoming a pet owner can mean you must be willing to alter your lifestyle and make sacrifices - like eating out less, forgoing a second round of drinks, skipping $5 coffee/tea drinks, etc. - You will cherish your alone time. Every couple needs time alone together. Unfortunately, a pet can disrupt and interrupt this time. Be sure to close the door and have some alone couple time that your pet won't interrupt. Owning a pet can be an enriching and satisfying experience if it is the right time and the right pet for you and your partner. First, ensure you have communicated clearly about all the ramifications of pet adoption and that you are enthusiastic about adding a pet to your relationship.

What should baby birds learn?

In their natural environment, Parrots are shown by adult role models how to forage for food, what foods are safe, what behaviors are expected & how to cope with stress & danger. This takes varying timescales from months (in some larger Parrots) to several years, depending on the species.

HOW HOMES HARM BABY BIRDS?

Most homes neglect the crucial babyhood stages & prioritise compliance, tameness & speech. This leads to a Bird who grows up seeing frustrated & wound up behavior & is often winded & anxious by these experiences. This leads to an increased risk of many 'problem' behaviors as they grow older including feather picking, stereotypies & abnormal sexual behaviours.

Yeast & Bacteria Infections

Young Hand Reared Companion Birds are more susceptible to bacterial and yeast infections than young parent reared ones, due to their weaker immune system. This can lead to vomiting, delayed crop emptying or diarrhoea, if the problem is not diagnosed and treated early.

Yeast Infections can also be caused by improper handling, feeding or care. These problems can be difficult to diagnose and require a microscopic examination of the crop fluid or droppings.

Viral infections of African Grey parrot via reachyourneed

Several viruses affect parrot chicks and spreads infections.

Polyomavirus: This virus cause rapid death in young chicks. Chicks affected with this virus shows a very pale skin colour with small spots of haemorrhage.

Psittacine Beak & Feather Disease: PBFD is caused by Psittacine circovirus which affects older chicks, as they start to grow feathers. The new feathers which just arises might clubbed or constricted, and will fall out easily. Infection leads to deformities in feather and beak growth.

This virus affects the all organs of bird slowly and also impacts the immune system in the later stages if not treated on time. This might leads to death of bird with acute organ failure. The virus prefers to live and grow in the dividing cells. The tissues of young birds which grows rapidly such as are best sites for this virus. Damage of all organs further leads the bird vulnerable to other bacteria and viruses which makes the life of bird as a disaster. The virus survives for months to years in feather dust, faeces, or nest material. This again leads to spreading of virus easily to other birds via

inhalation of contaminated air with feather dust

ingestion of contaminated faeces or crop secretions. Clean the Cage and nest box always with cleaners.

Red urine: This condition is particularly noticed in juvenile African grey parrots. This is nothing infectious or serious alarm. Just because of food items. Observe and change the food items.

Mouth and throat infections: These infections are common in baby parrots. Infections spreads via poor feeding, contaminated food. Can be treated with antibiotics and anti-fungal drugs. Place food catchers in cage to collect the left out food or droppings.

Crop Injuries and infections: This happens while the process of hand feeding. Get through on the feeding formula and must be careful with equipment. Those feeding syringes or pipettes should not be with pointed tips or sliding rubber tubes which can easily. Any holes made by these feeding syringes to the chick’s oesophagus needs surgical repair to correct the things. But, this is little complicated process. It is always better to feed the chicks very carefully.

Crop stasis: The ingested food material accumulates in the crop and may fermented instead of digestion. This might leads to many other bacterial infections. Reasons for this problem might include hypothermia, dehydration, foreign bodies, or infections. Large volumes of liquid content need to be massaged out slowly with the chick turned upside down. This technique helps to resolve the problem.

If noticed and untreated, this might leads to distension of crop. The crop slowly sags down below the level of stomach. Because of this, the food remains in the crop and never been digested. So, it is always recommended

Feed small and frequent meals for the babies.

Give few drops of lemon juice with the food which acidifies the gut and helps in proper digestion.

Use crop bra of soft tape wrapped around the lower neck and chest to lift up the crop.

Never feed your bird too hot or too cold food. Hot food leads to ulcers over the long period and cold food leads to indigestion problems over longer.

Something to consider before and after bringing a companion bird into the fam.

[addictedtostorytelling]

According to the 3rd sneak peak on the youtube channel, we get more info on Brass! Apparently he is going blind (?) or something of that sort. And there’s a Catherine name drop!! Though I don’t think she’ll be in the show. Thoughts?

hi, @jjnora!

so according to brass, he is experiencing "fuch's corneal disease," also known as fuch's corneal dystrophy, a progressive condition in which fluid builds up in the cornea of the eye, causing it to swell and thicken, leading to discomfort and cloudy vision.

fuch's dystrophy typically does not result in total blindness, and, contrary to what brass insinuates in the sneak peek, can be treated, with medication in its earlier stages and corneal transplant surgery in its later stages. after transplantation, patients normally experience a full reversal of symptoms.

though it's hard to say just by looking, it appears that brass's condition is fairly advanced. however, whether or not he's on the transplant list or if he's even eligible for a transplant at all, we don't yet know.

since this new reboot adventure kicks off with brass being attacked in his own home—on behalf of an old foe called "lucky”—i'd say it's probably a safe bet that his impaired vision will serve as a wrinkle in the case, as he likely won't be able to provide much in the way of “eyewitness testimony” concerning his attacker.

someone else who watched the later seasons of the show more closely than i did may have a better memory than i do on this one, but i honestly don't recall brass ever interacting with a criminal called lucky at any point during the original run of the show, much less having a serious adversarial dynamic with such a person, which may indicate that lucky is either someone from his new jersey days or else someone whom he has encountered since leaving the lvpd (perhaps when he was still working security for catherine back in 2015).

in any case, this peek confirms that he is indeed the one who calls sara in to help on the case and also suggests that he is probably the one who (somehow) gets her working with the lvpd crime lab again as a consultant.

other things we learn about brass from this clip include:

he does seemingly talk regularly with sara (and perhaps grissom?), though he hasn't mentioned his condition to her/them prior to this point.

he has an african grey parrot named elvis, whom he lovingly describes as a “little bastard.”

he doesn't seem to have adequate help/care and relies on his housekeeper to look after him.

he's still just as wry as ever.

he may or may not also be staying in catherine's hotel, a la the grissoms, following his attack.

he is also seemingly in contact with catherine, as he knows what's going on in her life.

as for catherine, the sneak peek tells us just enough to confirm that she is indeed responsible for putting the grissoms (and possibly also brass) up in her casino hotel; however, she is herself not present in vegas, as she is apparently either visiting or living in ireland to be near her grandchild.

how she and lindsey came to leave the lvpd crime lab, when they did so, and under what circumstances, we don't know. why they ended up in ireland, we also don't know. maybe lindsey partnered with or married someone who is from there or else is there for work.

it seems like a good guess that catherine probably retired in order to spend more time with her family (possibly around the time that lindsey got pregnant or had the baby), but there also could be more to the story that we don't yet know.

whether or not marg will appear in the reboot, we can't say for certain.

on the one hand, marg did recently like one of @fandomismymiddlename's tweets about her potentially appearing in the reboot, which could indicate that she has either already filmed a guest spot or at least has some interest in maybe doing so in the future, should the show get renewed for a second season.

on the other hand, she's had one show cancelled and then been picked up for another show on another network all during the time when csi: vegas has so far been filming, so i doubt she's had a lot of opportunity (or even been contractually at liberty) to get in any guest spots.

while it's technically possible that marg could have filmed an appearance on the reboot sometime back in may or june (during the brief window when she was otherwise unemployed), i have to believe that, had she done so, the cbs hype team would be playing up her return in the same way that they are billy, jorja, and paul's, as, after all, hers is a big enough name and catherine is a beloved enough character that giving fans a heads-up that she'd be back would make for good publicity for the new show.

the only reason i can see them keeping a potential return from her on the dl is if that return happened later in the season and was meant to be a surprise.

otherwise, i kinda think we'd have heard about it by now, you know?

in any case, the reboot writers sending catherine all the way to dublin seems like a good indication that they want her “out of sight and out of mind" for the time being, so we can take that for what we will.

as for other thoughts about the sneak peek:

as jorja has talked about in some of her recent interviews, sara seems to initially be under the impression that her trip to vegas will be a short one—72 hours or less. though she does know that brass has been attacked, she seems not to be aware prior to when she arrives that he is losing his vision. she also appears surprised (and even affronted) when he asks her to consult on the case. that so, one has to wonder: when she first responds to his call, what is it that she thinks she's coming back to las vegas to do? does she seriously believe that all she's there for is to move him out of his house and into catherine's hotel? but if she doesn't know about his sight, then why would she think he needs the help? the fact that she makes the drive from san diego to sin city in such quick time suggests a sense of urgency on her part, so is there perhaps more to her coming than we already know about? what could brass possibly say to her that would make her feel like she needs to get to him fast but also has her convinced that once she reaches him, he'll only need her for a couple of days at most?

brass's "at least i got sara sidle back to vegas" comment plus the fact that she had previously been unaware of his fuch's dystrophy suggests that sara has not been to vegas in a long time—perhaps not since the events of "immortality." if not, then the fact that she has not would imply that she must have finished up all of her business in vegas (leaving her job as lab director, selling her house and car, tying up all the loose ends on her old cases, etc.) remotely.

when brass asks sara what she's been up to recently, she doesn't give an answer. we know she has grissom collecting jellyfish in panama, but we still don't have a full idea of what their life over the last six years has consisted of. for example, why is she coming to vegas from san diego? has that city maybe become a "home base" for her and grissom, or is that just where they happened to be when sara received brass's call? were they maybe there seeing nick? beyond the issue of location, we also don't know how much contact they've kept up with their work family. sara insinuates that she and brass talk regularly and that she has at least recently been in touch with catherine (enough to have been put up at the hotel), but how often have she and grissom seen their old friends in person since 2015? have they done so at all? did they invite any of them to their (second) wedding? with brass, it seems unlikely that sara has physically been in the same place as him for at least a couple of years, given that his condition comes as a surprise to her. but what about with everyone else?

another general question about the csiverse: is this fictional universe one that is going to acknowledge the covid-19 pandemic, or is this story going to be set in an alternate universe where the pandemic never happened? so far, no one on the show seems to be wearing masks, so my guess is that the latter option is the case. we'll see, though.

sara seems very surprised/affronted when brass asks her to look into his case. though we know from interviews that she has kept up her accreditation enough to at least still be certified as a criminalist, to me, her reaction indicates far-removal from her old csi life—i.e., that she has not been involved with anything having to do with the profession recently.

anyway, those are my takes, for what they're worth.

thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.
