Best and Worst Pets: A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right Companion Animal

What animals make the best/worst pets?Choosing the best pet depends on your lifestyle, living situation, and personal preferences. However, some animals are generally considered better pets than others due to their ease of care, affectionate nature, and suitability for domestication. Introduction For many people, having a pet is a wonderful addition to their lives. Pets provide companionship,…

I really wanted to see what all the fictional languages of the BG3 cast looked like, so I spent way too much time making this post to show what each character's name looks like in the languages they speak/read/write.

Before anything, I want to make it clear that I had to heavily consult Google, the Baldur's Gate 3 fan wiki, and the Forgotten Realms fan wiki.

I also want to make it clear that I do not claim authorship nor ownership of any of the fonts I  used to make this. I used this Middle Ages font for the main name title of each character. 

Every other font used will have embed links in order to provide proper credit and in case anyone wants to use them. This is a post for entertainment purposes only.

Fonts used:

Olde Thorass for Common

Espruar for Elvish

While Astarion could arguably know one more language, I have no clue as to what it could possibly be (which is why I'm only showing 2 for him).

Font used:

Olde Thorass for Common and Chondathan/Illuskan

In addition to Common, Gale would probably speak either Chondathan (a language spoken in Waterdeep) or Illuskan (a language spoken in northern Faerûn). Both of these languages (like Common) use the Thorass writing system.

Fonts used:

Olde Thorass for Common

Barazhad for Abyssal

Infernal Script for Infernal and Abyssal

While humans are able to speak an additional language (aside from Common), I have no resources to help narrow down what specific language Wyll would speak alongside it. However, since he's a warlock and warlocks can at least *read* the languages of their patrons in order to cast spells, I chose to include Wyll's name written in the Barazhad and Infernal writing systems since Mizora is a a cambion (and cambions speak Common, Abyssal, and Infernal).

NOTE: I couldn't find an actual font for Infernal so I instead chose to copy and paste the letters from the wiki. I did the same thing for Karlach's name in Infernal too.

Fonts used:

Olde Thorass for Common

Espruar for Elvish

Olde Dethek for Sharan

Shadowheart is a high half-elf so she's able to speak Common, Elvish, and one additional language. Because of this (and her Sharan background), I chose to show what her name would look like in the Dethek writing system (the writing system the Sharan language uses).

Olde Thorass for Common

Tir'su for Gith

To my knowledge, Githyanki are only able to speak Common and Gith. This was a challenge since I couldn't download the font on my phone so I had to instead use the font as a guide. If you do decide to type in Gith, please remember that Lae'zel speaks the Githyanki dialect (there are two subraces of Gith that each have their own dialect of the Gith language: Githyanki and Githzerai. Both dialects are written differently). The link to the Gith font explains their writing differences.

Olde Thorass for Common

Infernal Script for Infernal

Tieflings only speak Common and Infernal so those are the languages that Karlach has her name written in.

Old Thorass for Common

Espruar for Elvish

Being an elf, Halsin is able to speak an additional language (alongside Common and Elvish). However, I was unable to find any information that could hint to a language he could potentially speak alongside them (aside from Druidic), so that's why his name is only written in those two.

Fonts used:

Olde Thorass for Common

Espruar for Elvish and Undercommon

Being a Lolth sworn drow, Minthara is able to speak Common, Elvish, and Undercommon.

Olde Thorass for Common and Chondathan

Espruar for Elvish

Being a half-elf, Jaheira is able to speak Common, Elvish, and one more language (not including Druidic). Given that she is from the nation of Tethyr, it is likely that her third language would be Chondathan (the language of most Tethyrians).

Font used:

Olde Thorass for Common

According to Minsc's wiki, he speaks Common and the language of Miniature Giant Space Hamster. Only one of these languages has a known writing system.

I need more Giant/Tiny-pet content!!!

I NEED more Giant's keeping Tiny's as pets. It’s not something I see enough of and it’s driving me insane, so I am making this post in hopes that other feral creatives will help me fix the issue. 

I love the idea cause there are so many different ways you can take it!

They have a little enclosure like a hamster cage or something, fit with tiny furniture, and entertainment. Or maybe it’s only more basic stuff, like a makeshift bed and two bowls for food and water. This could be seen as caring and compassionate by the giant or made out to be an intentionally cruel or bad thing to do to a tiny. Maybe there are Giants who see the ownership of Tinys as slavery, and fight for their freedom, or maybe it’s been so normalized only a small few giants have issue with it. 

Maybe Tinies are sold off in pet stores, imagine how it’d feel to be in this giant glass home where giants are peering down at you all the time, no privacy or security. At any moment a Giant might unlock the enclosure, and reach down and pick you up. Giants tapping on the walls to get your attention. Or to be the giant, peering into this adorable little enclosure filled with tinies, some hiding some maybe walking right up to the glass hoping to get adopted so they can get out of that damned store. 

They keep the Tiny in a little travel carrier for vet visits. The feeling of the floor moving under their feet, clinging dearly to the bars so they don’t go flying across their carrier into the wall. 

Imagine how terrifying it would be for a tiny who got captured by a giant now being kept as a pet, how cute it'd be for a giant to hold this shaking little thing in their massive hands that practically swallow the tiny up whole. 

Then think how the vet visit goes, being poked and prodded by some giant stranger as they talk about the tiny like they aren’t even there. Massive fingers holding the tiny down with such ease and composure it feels humiliating to be unable to stop them. The tiny has a little collar or tracking device in them, so even if they escape they aren’t safe. Being found by any Giant could lead them right back to their owner. 

Tiny’s being separated from friends and family, being placed into some jail-like environment with other Tiny’s who may or may not be friendly or even safe to be around. Having to learn to survive with complete strangers. 

Or maybe the giant is nicer, they make sure Tiny is well fed, safe, secure. The giant sees it as a way to take care of them, maybe tiny agrees, or maybe they don’t. Either way Gian thinks they are doing what’s best.

Here are some headcanons I have about the Bad Batch’s pets.

Hunter: He’s a dog person, unsurprisingly. He’s probably going to end up owning a pack of them. I think that, out of a desire to have pets that can hold their own, he’d end up with ones that are super frigging dangerous (despite his repeated admonitions of Omega bringing home rather violent animals). Some options would be the vornskr (dogs that hunt Force-sensitives; Hunter would end up training it not to attack Omega but everyone else should step carefully), the charhound (fire doggo), the Raquor'daan (dog with a skull face and scorpion tail), the Coromon headhunter (literally eats heads), the Howlerunner (another dog with a skull for a face), the akk dog (Force-sensitive dogs from Mace Windu’s homeworld; probably terrified the vornskr into leaving it alone), and the early death dog (he has no ground to criticize Omega for bringing home dangerous pets). Who knows, he might find a strill somewhere and add it to the pack.

Crosshair: He already has Batcher, but he could do with some more therapy animals. For instance, the scarred tooka cat that despises everyone who isn’t him with a fiery passion. Or the ice vulture that decided that he was its new parent and now sits on his shoulder glaring at everyone. Or the nexu kitten that, like the vulture, is firmly convinced that he’s its mom. Crosshair has resigned himself to his fate.

Wrecker: You’d think he’d have something big and tough and intimidating. Instead, Wrecker has a deep love for hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rats, and mice. One of them is named Mr. Nibbles. It seems like the kind of pet ownership that would end in tragedy, given Wrecker’s enhanced strength and over enthusiastic behavior, but he’s very gentle with his. If you upset him, you will get glared at by several dozen angry rodents. Of course, that would be the least of your problems.

Tech: He likes bugs and fish. Their workings and behaviors are fascinating, especially the bugs, and he finds the movements of the fish soothing. He claims that he isn’t attached or anything, but the fact that he’s named 90% of them causes a lot of side eying.

Echo: He didn’t need a pet. He didn’t want a pet. So why, through some sequence of events he doesn’t quite follow, does he now own a rancor?

Omega: Last week she brought back an abomination of Sith alchemy with too many tentacles and eyes. It spits acid, guards mind-shattering secrets, and likes to eat sentient flesh. It also acts like a puppy around her and lets her braid its hair(????). (Whatever she’s decorating, it’s not hair.)

[eddiegettingshot]

bpd anon back!!! thank you for your kind reply hima ❤️ i forgot to mention like even down to the identity issues buck has are so relatable to me as a bpd person. like the self improvement shit and software updates only to stay stuck in the same patterns is SO real

honestly id love for the show to actually address a lot of bucks mental health issues. i dont think they will though. bpd is also more commonly diagnosed in women which i think would play a factor even though all of the signs are there. tho also i dont want to see it because idk if it’d actually bring up any real discussions since the fandom tends to think buck can do no wrong lmfao

i still think buck is on that hamster wheel though, but in a different way? realizing your sexuality is a pretty big leap regardless but to me he’s still approaching relationships in the same way. tommy fell into his lap because he couldn’t acknowledge what was right in front of him (and again as someone with bpd change in relationships can be very terrifying!! even the slightest drift in a different direction can be debilitating to deal with!!). i think the bi buck arc is a stride in the right direction but not the end goal. buck needs therapy imo. id still be on my own hamster wheel without it (he also needs a break from dating because jesus christ just watching it is a lot to handle lmao)

also wouldve loved to see an actual apology on screen (i find it very hard to believe one wouldnt have taken place at all) because like no matter your mental issues or whatever you need to take ownership of your behavior. mental illness is an explanation not an excuse and it wouldve been really nice to see him take ownership with that even though eddie wouldve forgiven him regardless.

and on the eddie ptsd stuff — why the FUCK do people think he needs to address every little flaw before having a relationship? i feel that way about myself a lot of the time but he’s done so much work on himself and made so many strides???? i think addressing the shannon of it all is one thing but can my guy have permission to be happy 😭 he doesn’t have the same problems as buck and thats arguably the fucking point lmao. also with the catholic guilt thing its crazy because i grew up catholic and honestly i dont think that’s something that ever really goes away? i think it can stop bothering you and you learn to accept it but catholicism can ingrain itself pretty deep. i think eddie can move on from it but saying he has to get rid of it to be in a gay relationship when that is like the foundation of his childhood belief system is a little wack to me. like i rarely think about religion anymore and don’t really feel a huge connection to god (and i dont have a lot of emotions on it ig) but i also find myself still dealing with that mindset that growing up in religion can cause in some ways. its just kinda there

anyway eddie army stays strong 🫶 hopefully if they address shannon tonight it goes well

this is soooooo thoughtful anon you're so right!!!

eddie army we will make it through <3

[fuck-customers]

If you're averse to reading content that mentions animal abuse/death, here is your heads up if you want to skip this post!

The longer I work at a pet store, the more I'm convinced that very few people actually deserve the privilege of pet ownership. I'm talking specifically about the customers who come in and make an impulse purchase of a pet, without any prior research, and eventually either bring it back dead, or close to it. A woman returned a hamster to our store in a shit-caked hamster ball, saying that that ball had been it's only home for three weeks. I'm amazed it is still alive. She wanted another hamster, but I refused her the sale. She left in a huff, but apparently purchased another hamster at a different location that same day!

Another man brought a guinea pig back to the store that was completely unresponsive, emaciated and had labored breathing, and we ended up having to put him to sleep. This asshole wanted ANOTHER guinea pig, but my manager told him he was never allowed back to our store again. The thing is, we have NO way to blacklist people from buying animals altogether. There's no way for us to leave notes on their accounts or anything, so all they need to do to keep buying animals is to go to a location where they're not known. I am honestly so torn. I want people to care about these poor animals, I need this job so I can't be careless in my interactions with guests, but I'm so tired of these pets being treated like this.

[forsakenmissives]

jamie headcanons that have fuck all to do with canon tbh:

a lot of his music taste comes from his mum & they have a cd they always played when cleaning the house tgt and even tho georgie tried to send him to richmond with the cd, he made her keep it and has a copy of the playlist on spotify that, yes, he plays while cleaning (well... "cleaning". he's got cleaners but he can at least put the laundry in a hamper. sometimes)

he's not a very strong reader however he knows a more-than-decent amt of books bc his mum would read to him before bed and she never stopped, even as he got older. sometimes when he has trouble sleeping he'll call her and she'll read to him over the phone

had a pet hamster when he was like eight that did in fact die a gruesome hamster death and he cried about it for a solid four hours. that was his only foray into pet ownership but he's not sure it's his last (he always stops when he sees stray cats and "free puppies" signs but with the travel and hours of training required for football it's just not possible rn)

he and keeley used to learn dances together but stopped after they broke up. HOWEVER keeley does still go to brazil with him and they get to break out one of the dances they learnt. when they get back to england they start dancing tgt again

has considered having roy's signature tatted on his body somewhere (thought occurred when he was a teen). ultimately glad he didn't go through with it after properly meeting roy but now he's thinking about it again

this is kinda implied already but music is VERY IMPORTANT to him. he actually does listen to a bit of everything but he's also very opinionated about his faves. ppt night = top ten female vocalists. he goes last bc his presentation is the longest, with recordings of live performances for each, plus his explanations

*Engineer recieves a box in the mail. It feels very light, leading him to think that it was completely empty. When he opens it, however, he realizes that the box actually contains a portal. He can see through to the other side of the portal, which appears to lead to somewhere in space, far away from our galaxy. The first thing he sees is a giant yellow-brown planet. Using the included telescope, he takes a closer look at the planet's surface, only to find that it isn't a planet at all, but a giant ball of hamsters. Attached to a box is an official document of some sort, stating that ownership of the planet-sized hamster mass has been transferred to Dell Conagher.*

Engineer: [pulls back away from the telescope, then leans back in to look again, pulling back and pacing around his workshop] What.. what am I supposed to do with this? Am I supposed to anything about this? Are they safe out there?! I'd assume so if they're survivin' on their own but.. but what if somethin' happens?!

Engineer: [rushes back to the telescope, the first hamster still dressed up like him popping its head out of his overalls to squeak at him] I know, lil' buddy.. we'll.. we'll figure it out. Maybe it won't be so unethical to just.. relocate an entire alien hamster mass to Earth, right?

[nixalegos]

🐹 (hamster) - How does your oc feel about animals? Have they ever had a pet? What made them feel this way towards animals?

Nix has never gotten along with animals. It seems if he cannot build it, or magically summon and enslave it, he isn't interested in it. While he'll never admit it, even to himself, a childhood encounter with a hound off its leash left them with a sour disposition and distrust for animals of all stripes and sizes. It does not help that fel magic radiating from him seems to make nearby animals equally as uneasy around him. Nowadays living critters and creatures under his ownership is left to the oversight and attention of his wife, ignoring whatever strange activities her and that shadowy group involving animal cockfights she's apart of. Thought he really wishes this 'Council of Chaos' would stop sending letters asking her to bring more of 'those delicious cupcakes to the next meet and battle'. It's terribly tacky for a 'cult' to use public mail. Especially since HE'S the one who has to bake the treats and isn't even getting an invite to said meetings.

Thank you @therealshanbear! @tyleinth for mention

[yanderes-galore]

May I please request Lord Tirek x Earth pony headCanons please

Like I did the other villains (Nightmare Moon, Discord, King Sombre, Queen Chrysalis kinda), this will be an AU of Season 4's finale.

Large centaur holds you like a rat, I guess-

Yandere! Lord Tirek x Earth Pony! Darling

Pairing: Romantic/Platonic/Pet-like (Darling's end)

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Degrading behavior, Kidnapping, Demeaning behavior, Slight possessive behavior, Obsession, Forced affection, Sadism.

- Lord Tirek's main goal is to rule Equestria by stealing all of its magic.

- He's selfish, violent, manipulative, and evil.

- He's a tyrant and could care less how people think of him.

- He doesn't care for friendship.

- It's very unfortunate you're an earth pony.

- Unicorns and alicorns have strong magic.

- Pegasai use magic to fly.

- Earth ponies have magic, but not as strong as the other groups.

- Tirek's view of you is already pretty low.

- Poor pony, you were weak before but now you're even weaker.

- How pitiful.

- Lord Tirek is not a believer of friendship, or even very affectionate.

- His views towards you would definitely lean more towards a sense of ownership than a mutual sense of attraction.

- After he gains all of the alicorn magic and the Tree of Harmony plan fails, all the ponies/beings in Equestria are little more than toys.

- He's massive and obsessive about his size and power.

- He could easily crush you in his claws, yet he doesn't.

- There's no point to it in his eyes.

- Lord Tirek is Obsessive, Manipulative, Aggressive, Possessive, and so Controlling.

- His views towards his darling would be like you're his pet.

- Even more so if you're an earth pony.

- It's like having a pet mouse with his size.

- You'd be kept in a cage, kept alive by his command.

- Your life is in his hands.

- You're considered lucky for not being on the chopping block.

- You're barely able to move due to your strength being absorbed.

- Even if he gave it back to you, you could not fight him anyway.

- Lord Tirek is already too strong once he has all the magic he can get his hands on.

- He technically doesn't need you.

- Part of him... just wants to keep you, however.

- Hearing you spew all sorts of random talk at him was at first annoying.

- Then he starts listening to you begrudgingly like a radio.

- A ruler such as himself needs some sort of entertainment.

- Hearing you speak to him, pleading or some sort of story, eases his boredom.

- Perhaps even eases himself.

- You feel even more like a caged bird due to this....

- As some sort of power play, he'd probably hold you or force you on his shoulder.

- He'd be very demeaning about your situation, calling you a cute and weak pony pet.

- He drills in the fact you're weaker than him over and over.

- His possessive behavior comes off like him being angered over you trying to escape or associating with other weak ponies.

- He rules Equestria.

- You're his little pet to play around with.

- In response he'll just pluck you from your spot and bring you wherever he wants you.

- The pairing is hard to decide, as it's not really platonic or romantic.

- It's much darker than that-

- It's more like, an owner being obsessive and possessive over a pet.

- Perhaps if you were the same size at first, he'd consider something more intimate (barely).

- He doesn't really form close connections.

- Which means, even if he has some sort of twisted affection towards you, he'd still treat you as a pet.

- To Tirek, he thinks in his twisted mind you should be thankful for what he does.

- He feeds you, gives you a large cage, and pets your soft body like a hamster.

- Compared to everyone else in your home... you're living the high life, aren't you?

- His 'affection' is better than nothing, right?

Janus has a little glass dollhouse he bought for Patton so he can return the favor of being the cute little husband who runs around all day in very little clothes

I also imagine he has various hamster tubes, rat mazes, terrariums, etc that he'll drop the sides into cause it's cute to watch them run around for his amusement. Plus, pets need enrichment, after all, and Janus prides himself on his pet ownership

he gets really into the pet ownership aspect. they think they're people? no, no! he can shrink them down whenever he pleases and theyre just pets! his pets!

and when he gets them all down at once, its rather amusing watching them play. he puts logan in an embarrassing outfit and watches remus pounce on him, pushes virgil and roman against each other until theyre messy and teary eyed, dresses up patton like the prettiest housewife and tells him to be a good dolly and keep the others in line!

watching them run around mazes is cute too, especially because there'd be dead ends, twists and turns, and empty holes in which they could fall through, often onto januss chest, between his thighs, or in his mouth, where he'll have a bit of fun with them before putting them back in their enclosure

and getting a dollhouse for patton - but eventually for all of them - is even more fun! they get to play house, but by his rules. hell give them tasks, push them towards the plastic furniture, and leave them flustered and pleasantly trembling as they ponder when theyll be grabbed and dressed down (and back up again) and placed into a new role, or just played with for their allotted time before being deposited back into januss playset to be used at a later date

[transrevolutions]

are we truly the children of God, or mere Hamsters in his great microwave

a hamster is a child to some, and the two states are not mutually exclusive. ergo, we might conclude that god is akin to a kid who does not understand responsible pet ownership duties such as removing dangerous fruits from the terrarium.

[radstegosaurus]

"Spongebob is ruining our kids" "Video games are ruining our kids"

okay but why is my baby cousin watching instagram reels about hamsters wearing chicken nugget costumes passing by singing toilet paper rolls? Like it sounds funny at first but like

Why is my 5 year old cousin punching the restaurant booth and screaming at the top of his lungs in public because his dad had to take his own phone back in order to pay the bill with it?

Why does he hit his parents when they ask him to turn the volume down from max on these like mindless videos?

Why is he, a 5 year old, in charge of skipping the reels that have curse words in it for himself? They are letting him watch childish, colorful, overstimulating 10 second videos where the music has slurs and cursing and he's supposed to just know that isn't good for him? Or is that just fine?

Why did they allow him to feel ownership of their phones? He doesn't have a phone, but he doesn't realize that; he thinks his parents' phones are more for him than for them.

He is malfunctioning at school. He isn't learning as well as he could have been if his brain wasn't like fully taken up by a bright ass rectangle he stares into instead of doing anything else to keep himself entertained. I'm not trying to be mean to him but he isn't learning well and he isn't on a good path to being a functioning teen or adult.

I'm not a parent yet but people are doing their kids so wrong. It wasn't the video games or the regular tv cartoons or the heavy metal music or the d&d that fucked us up it's this and no one cares and no one talks about it and no one takes it seriously.

And I say this as someone who grew up as smart phones and social media was getting into full swing. And I wish I was less fucked up by it too. But this is another level of internet addiction and I'd even argue withdrawals, in little little kids. It's kind of scary to see and not be able to fix it for him.

Like what the fuck.
