Can Red Eared Sliders Eat Carrots?
Yes, red eared sliders can eat carrots. Carrots are a great source of vitamins and minerals for turtles and can provide them with essential nutrients. Carrots should be grated or chopped into small pieces before feeding to the turtle, as they may not be able to swallow large chunks. While it is important for red eared sliders to have a balanced diet high in calcium and low in fat, adding…

Big Brother Slider, the true Mom Friend™
So we all have that friend, who is 100% the mom friend. And listen, are both Slider and Ice little shits of their own devices? Yes, but i'd say that Ice can be a solid Mom friend, when needed. BUT, when with Slider it just goes out of the window, and pair that with Big Brother!Slider, and you have one hell of a head cannon there.
Every time that they go to the bar, Slider doesn't even leave Ice's side, guards his drink like a feral dog, and rounds Ice up when it's time to go home
Stops Ice from having fun recklessly endangering himself
Once at the bar Ice was on his 5th Whiskey sour before a table sent over 3 shots of tequila, Ice smiled and brought one up to toast, and using his mom senses common sense, Slider abandons his chat with Goose and is at Ice's side in about 3.5 seconds saying "no no no no" takes the shots and whiskey sours out of his hand and drags Ice home
Nearly had an aneurism when he found out Ice let someone else (Goose) drive him somewhere
"YOU LET SOMEONE DRIVE YOU? WHAT IF THEY WERE TRYING TO KIDNAP YOU? KIDNAP THEN KILL YOU!? YOU KNOW PEOPLE HAVE A THING FOR YOUNG BLONDES" "WE WERE BOTH GOING BACK TO BASE, AND IM 24" "SO?? YOU'RE PRACTICALLY A BABY" "IT WAS GOOSE! AND YOU'RE ONLY A COUPLE YEARS OLDER THAN ME" "AND?? HE HAS A MUSTACHE! YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU'D TRUST SOMEONE WITH A MUSTACHE??" "YOU WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME!" "SO??"
Slider always, ALWAYS has snacks and Capri-Suns on his person incase Ice gets hungry
It's like clockwork, every time Ice starts to get hungry, hangry, cranky etc. Slider is there handing over a Capri-Sun and some carrot sticks or apple slices
"Well maybe if you didn-" Ice starts before being interrupted by Slider shoving an apple slice into his mouth mid sentence, and stopping what seems to be the next arguing match between him and Maverick in it's tracks. Ice just glowers at Slider with a pout and starts chewing on his apple slice. "I told you not to skip breakfast, now you're gonna be cranky" "Bite m-" and once more Ice is silenced with an apple slice, as Goose and Mav along with the rest of the flyboys watch on in fascinated horror as Ice's temper is swiftly and expertly derailed by Slider and his apple slices. When they're finished Slider promptly procured a Capri-Sun from somewhere and quickly shoved it within Ice's hands before he had a chance to protest. "No" Ice said looking at Slider "Drink it" "No" "Ice" "I don't want to, so im not" "Toma Mikhailovich so help me god" Slider starts, pinching the bridge of his nose, and Ice just huffs and starts to drink. The flyboys never recovered from this.
Once when filing paperwork Ice got a paper cut, as people do, and the cut is small but the tiniest, tiniest, itty bitty drop of blood wells forward and Slider already has a portable First Aid kit spread out on the desk, Neosporin on a bandaid before being wrapped around Ice's finger and Ice doesn't even blink
It's a whole 10 second ordeal and they just continue on with their lives like nothing happened
Ice coughed once after accidentally being caught out in the rain and Slider straight up commandeers the kitchen to make more soup than Ice could ever possibly consume fully convinced Ice is coming down with something
Admittedly, Ice did in fact get the flu, but Slider was too concerned to say "I told you so"
Despite everything, Slider and Ice (platonically) love each other, and Slider is 100% the mom friend between the two of them
If I forgot anything feel free to tell me!
#tom iceman kazansky#ron slider kerner#Big Brother!Slider#Baby Brother!Ice#aviation#top gun fandom#top gun 1986#nick goose bradshaw#peter maverick mitchell#mom friend#Slider sitting down at the bar sighing dramatically about “teenagers in their rebellious phase”#Goose: Ice is an angel compared to Mav dont exaggerate#Slider: you didn't know him in flight school#ice being a chaotic gremiln to Slider#Ice: And no one will ever believe you#i will die on this hill

ROTTMNT: Handy Man
Recognising the loud groans from the kitchen, Leo peeks around the corner to find an enraged Donatello cutting carrots. As he brings his knife down upon the mangled carrot, a piece flies off and lands in front of Leo’s feet. The two’s eyes meet.
“Leon.” Recomposing himself, Don puts down his knife and tries to hide his badly chopped slices.
“Don.” Picking up the carrot from the ground, Leo washes it under the faucet.
“Didn’t know you hated carrots.” The slider smirks, putting the clean slice in the bowl next to the cutting board.
“Sure, make fun of me.” Donatello sighs, his eyes cast down on his nearly empty bowl.
“Do you need some help, Sir Lefty?” Leo takes hold of Donnie’s unattended knife.
“No.” Donnie swiftly recovers the knife. “I can make carrot soup myself, Nardo.”
Doing a double take to his brother and the sharp knife, Leo inhales sharply. “Alright, but at least let this Handy Man work a little.”
Leon grabs two onions, slicing and dicing them with ease by expertly handling two knives at once. He then gently watches on as his brother tries hard to make the slices even.
“Want me to give you a hand?”
“Maybe half a hand..” Donnie mumbles.
The slider cuts half of the carrot off and brings it to his own cutting board. Instead of his fast method, he switches to an only left handed approach.
“There! Now we can do it together.”
“You choose to make it more difficult for yourself?” Donnie raises an eyebrow.
“What can I say?” Leo shrugs. “I got inspired.” He winks.
“Heh.”
As the two chop up the carrot in silence, a smile appears on Donnie’s face.
“You really are an idiot.”
Leo smiles back. “The best kind!”

Ice takes to being a dad so naturally, right from when his and Mav's daughter is born. It's like his whole DNA gets rewritten from the moment she's placed in his arms or at least something that was already there but never allowed to grow until now.
One of the ways he shows this is by always having a snack for her in his pocket, once she gets started on solid foods. She's got a metabolism like her daddy, burning through so much energy that she's always hungry. So he's always got some baby carrots or crackers or gummy bears in his pocket for her to munch on when they're at the playground or on the way to the library or at the beach. And honestly most of the time Maverick ends up snacking on them too.
But imagine him on his first deployment since little Sofia arrived, one he's forced to take after he and Maverick are caught being too close and the rumours about the two of them while they're both instructors at Top Gun start circulating. His heart is so utterly broken at being away from his love and his little girl and yes he's back in the air and back with Slider but his heart is still back in Miramar.
And one day Slider finds him standing very very still, and holding his expression excessively neutral which Slider knows is Ice code for trying not to cry. And he's in one of his old jackets and holding a bag of now very crushed up crackers slipped in there by Sofia for her papa while he's away.

I'll say it with my whole chest that I believe that Songbird lying to V about the neutral matrix was never done out of malicious intent. She knew the risks of reaching out to V—for putting her faith in V out of sheer desperation and involving them in what would become a dire and bloody escape. She just wanted to stop losing more of herself physically and mentally to what's beyond the Blackwall, to stop being a weapon of mass destruction for Myers. A tool for the NUSA.
She joined their ranks to keep herself out of trouble for breaching that Militech data fortress (among other things I'd imagine). And she was probably hoping it was a huge opportunity to become one of the best netrunners with all of this top-of-the-line tech at her disposal but she just didn't realize back then that she'd be pushed into breaking international laws or be forced to reach beyond the Blackwell to the immense power beyond. She paid the price tenfold. So yeah, players can be mad that Songbird dangled a carrot (the cure) in front of V's nose. Most people likely are mad or feel played and that's valid. But the choice is there to not take that anger out on someone just as desperate to survive as V is and have them push through to the end and help as they had promised. V states several times throughout the game that they keep their word and do what they say they will do. V and Songbird are mirror images of each other: Songbird losing her memories/identity and organic body to the AIs just like V's brain is being forcibly overwritten by the biochip and her body is slowly degrading. During that conversation she and V had on the couch and through texts, Songbird expressed how she couldn't trust anybody in the FIA. She was alone. Wanted a way out.
Even Reed who thought he could help her was only making things worse. So when she discovered V and their dilemma (probably after she delved into the Cynosure Project is my guess), I say it's what drove her to finally break the (wires) and chains she'd been bound with. She devised a plan with Hansen—always two steps ahead as Reed had said—and reached out to V on the day of reckoning knowing them being in the same boat would be enough to make V fight like hell. It's possible she knew about V for weeks or even months prior. V can question (sorry, forget which part of the game they mentioned this) if perhaps a 'backdoor' was created when she went past the Blackwall with the Voodoo Boys. Songbird then used the Blackwall protocol to tap into the Relic, as confirmed by Slider.
The stakes were too great so Songbird withheld the truth, not wanting to chance V refusing to help her otherwise. She didn't have anyone else, didn't have much time left either so she lied.
I think it boils down to this: V can decide to put someone ahead of her own survival and sacrifice that guaranteed cure OR she can be just as shitty as Myers and let Songbird be the pawn that's sacrificed. What separates humans from anything else is how we are driven by our emotions and our hearts. We take leaps of faith and we make mistakes but what matters is the content of our character. Sometimes 'doing the right thing' isn't doing the right thing.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk. And I leave you with this quote:
"I always marvel at the humans’ ability to keep going. They always manage to stagger on even with tears streaming down their faces." —Markus Zusak
#cyberpunk 2077#phantom liberty#song so mi#songbird#this got long lol but yeah#think i got in a solid chunk of what i wanted to express#tlou2 made me try and view a game and its characters from all perspectives#the same can apply to irl ofc but there are gamers who aren't willing to see shit beyond the outcome they wanted#you fail to understand the depth of the story if you're too caught up with one side and bc of your faves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Little Bob
Summary: time for little Bob to celebrate his first birthday with the flyboys and you.
This is sort of a second part to 'Swaying in the refrigerator light', hopefully you enjoy it!
“Alright buddy get ready for the plane.”, you hear your husband say and you try not to laugh at his attempts to feed Bob. The one-year-old had despised carrots since the start and it wasn’t getting any better.
“Here comes the plane.”, you hear Ice say and he makes small plane noises while Bob is trying to follow the spoon full of mashed carrots and even if Ice had already done this trick ten times before Bob still fell for it.
“Good boy.”, Ice says as you let out a laugh at your son’s expression, his cheeks are round due to being stuffed with carrots and he looks unhappy as he realizes he has fallen for the trick and has to eat his carrots.
Ice looks like he is trying not to laugh at his son’s expression, but a small laugh leaves his lips just as Bob looks at him with a desperate gaze. The little guy manages to eat the rest of his plate and just as Ice takes everything to the sink to clean them up you hear a small voice.
“Dada.”, Bob says, and you have to stop yourself from melting at the sight of your son with his arms reaching towards Ice and an adorable smile. Ice has tears in his eyes, and you know that no matter how many times he hears Bob say that he won’t get used to it.
“Go take him for your daily after lunch cuddles, I’ll handle the plates.”, Ice hesitates for a moment, not wanting to leave you to clean everything but Bob seems to get impatient as he calls his dad again and you push Ice towards your son.
“Common little guy let’s sit down on the couch.”, Bob babbles happily as Ice takes him in his arms and sighs happily.
After washing everything and cleaning the rest of the kitchen you find Ice on the couch with a sleeping Bob on his chest, looking adorable.
“Don’t you two look cozy.”, Ice chuckles a bit before looking down at his son worried that he might have woken him up, but the toddler is still sleeping peacefully.
“Why don’t you join us?”, you do just that and enjoy the calmness of the house before you have to wake up Bob from his nap to get him ready for his birthday party at Slider’s house.
--
Getting everyone out of the house on time is normally a challenge for households with a young child but not with an Admiral in the house. Everything is packed and ready, ten minutes before they need to leave and Bob is dressed and cleaned up, ready to leave.
“I am still impressed by your techniques.”, you say with a smile and Ice smirks at your words before bringing you closer and kissing you softly.
“What can I say, I have an incredible wife that helps me.”, he whispers, and you can’t help but bring him back for a kiss. You only stop when you feel small hands on your jeans and look down to see Bob with his plush bunny.
You can’t help but chuckle at his pout and Ice quickly takes him into his arms making the toddler squeal happily.
“Ready to go celebrate your birthday?”, Bob looks confused but Ice tickles his stomach and Bob starts to giggle.
The car is packed, and you leave the house to go to Slider’s where all of the flyboys are meeting, Carole and Bradley are also coming with Maverick to everyone’s excitement.
“Where is my favorite godson?”, you hear as you get out of the car to take Bob but a large figure, Slider, is quicker than you and opens the door to find Bob who is wiggling in excitement at the sight of Slider.
“There he is.”, Slider takes him out of his baby seat and starts to kiss him everywhere making the toddler squeal happily at the attack.
“You do know he is your only godson, right?”, Ice says with a grin and Slider scoffs while taking Bob into the backyard.
“Details.”, he says, and you laugh as you follow Slider with Ice who is rolling his eyes.
The flyboys immediately start to hover over Bob and the toddler is shy at all the attention before he sees Maverick and quite literally beams.
“Mav.”, he gurgles and tries to reach the shorter pilot while slider pouts at the eagerness of the toddler to go into Maverick’s arms.
“I swear he has favorites.”, Slider says grumpily before giving Bob to a smirking Maverick.
“How is one of my favorite little men?”, Bob babbles back and Maverick listens to him like he is having a real conversation.
Ice looks at them with a big smile while patting Slider’s shoulder, who is pouting at the sight of Maverick and Bob. Bradley joins them and he meets Bob for the first time, immediately deciding that he will be his best friend.
“Cake is here!”, Hollywood yells and they put Bob on a highchair to get some pictures of him and the cake. The cake is a white cake with an F-18 on top of it in rice Krispie’s, making Bob look at it in amazement.
Ice gets closer to him as everyone sings happy birthday to Bob, who seems a bit scared, but he looks at is dad and his reassuring smile and relaxes. He helps Bob blow the candle and everyone starts to clap, with Bob joining even if he doesn’t understand what is happening.
The most difficult moment is probably taking good pictures with Bob as he is more interested in the plane on the cake and trying to smash it with his small fists. After a few attempts you manage to take a picture and as you let your guard down Bob smashes his fist into the cake and giggles happily. Everyone starts to laugh and the one-year-old gives them a toothy grin.
Maverick tries to take a picture with Bob but ends up with a hand full of cake on his cheek and a cheeky Bob, that looks far too much like Ice in that moment.

We finally went to this restaurant, not sure why it took so long, but…
We decided to go for Happy Hour during the week, because I’m an old grumpy man that doesn’t like crowds of people.
Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant. Boulder, CO.
It has all the things I like: 1) Happy Hour that starts at 3PM, 2) Plates to share, 3) Great cocktail list, from a quaint little bar, and 4) Not a lot of people.
Calamari Oyster mushrooms.
Beet Bruschetta.
House Verde Salad.
Mushroom Burger Slider.
Vegan Carrot Cake Dessert.
Not pictured is the Vegan Crab Cake Slider, because I was hungry and forgot to snap it.
We’ll definitely be back, but only without a crowd.
#Pearl Street#just off the beaten tourist trap path#almost stopped at Mountain Sun Brewing#because Feb is Stout Month there

Do you know any cool fact about turtles you want to share with the class? /genuine
WHEN I SAY THIS I MEAN IT BUT LITERALLY RUNNING IN CIRCLES RN YES FINALLY!!!!!!!!
Ejem.
I'll start with the basics then expanding but also winging it because yes. Under read more because I infodumped hard here
So sliders. Sliders (trachemys) is a genus that lives all of america, and which it's main and most known subspecies, red eared sliders (RES, or scripta elegants) is best know by two things: the fact that it's the most popular type of pet turtle globaly, and that they are STUPIDLY resilient. These two facts, naturally, create the perfect storm for an extremely invasive species due to neglectful or ignorant owners who get tired of the eety beety lil bean once it starts to show it grows to a max size of 12 inches/30cms and lives to even 30 years old.
However, I still think that, in the correct hands, they are a wonderful pet for experimente or mindful owners (what I cathegoryze as mindful is whoever knows ot is open to provide the correct space a goldfish should live in, since it's the same for turtles and plottwist; none of them both is fishbowl or less that 10 gallons option) so some info on them:
When they are tiny, their yolksack cord and egg teeth is visible, and it's so cute because it's this tiny thingy the size of a coin omg 🥺. At this age they are known as hatchlings, and they have certain qualities that only stay on this age;
-color: they are a shiny, beautiful emerald color, with orang-y ears and Grey-blue-ish eyes. As they age, they turn brown while they are juveniles and finally end up black/deep forest green/dark yellowing brown (depends on the specimen)
-diet: when babies, they are mainly carnivores, eating fish, bugs and whatever they can scavange, with plants here and there, but as they age they eat more and more greens, until their diet is around 80% these. In captivity the recommended in protein is crickets, roaches, mealworm, blood worms and feeding fishes, like goopies. On the greener side the recommended is red and green leaf lettuce (avoid iceberg at all coast and only sometimes Roman and buttercup), dandelion leaves and turnip greens, with sometimes endives, kale and escarole. They also like aquatic plants like Amazonian sword, duck weed, moss balls, water lettuces and frogbit, to name some. Some veggies like carrot, bell pepper, sparce fruits like bananas, apples, mango, melon, strawberries, blueberries, papaya and raspberries are also good for em. On store brand pellets zoomed and mazuri are the standard.
But enough about that. One common asked question; how to know their sex? As most reptiles, turtle sex is determined based on the temp the eggs are incubated. There is this myth about how the markings show the sex, but this is a lie, as the markings change depending on the species and subspecies. There is also said that males have a concave plastron and females have a flat one, since it facilitates reproduction. And while it is true, the best way to tell is waiting for em to hit puberty. Once they are 4 inches/10cms long OR one-two years old OR have a black shell, the males start to develop longer claws, which can get to an inch/3cms long. This, plus the cloaca placement/tail size is your best bet, as it is really distinctive and easy to tell male claws from females. Females are also easier to diferenciate due the fact that, once they grow to their whole size, females are the biggest, while males stay at around 25cms or something like that. Tiny guys.
However, I personally knew in mine's case due the fact he showed me his turtle penis while he threw a temper tantrum over me picking him up.
In the reproduction topic. As I've mentioned in another post, they have an apareament dance, known as jazz hands. It's pretty self descriting, as they put their hands next to their face and vibrate them at super speed. This behavior also occurs between territorial fights. Once they got their things settled, the male chases the female and they do the thing. In this, those longer claws we talked about help them stay in place while copulating.
And in that territoriallity note, they are extremely territorial and solitary animals. They need AT LEAST 10 gallos per inch of shell, and can't cohabitate unless they are in like, a pond. However, even then they could become hostile. The hostility signs are mainly stacking (they get one in top the other while basking, they do this to compete for space and UVB/heat from the sun) fighting over food (in captivity, if kept together, sometimes one baby grows faster than the other, this is due that) chasing eachother and actual fighting (biting, scratching, it can go from easily-infectable lacerations to fights-to-death). Due to this and more reasons, unless for breeding and when knowing exactly what you are doing, it is extremely important to NOT cohabitate under any circunstance.
I think I'm leaving it at there for today, might add more in a rb tomorrow, but it's literally midnight and I should sleep lol. Thank you so much for asking! I love so much to talk about these goobers and you made my day (night?) I also wanna mention that I'm constantly learning and that, if any of this info is wrong or outdated, please let me know! With that said, goodnight!
