Breakfast with Bibu.

Poor Bibu is not feeling well and had poo caked on her bum. So i brought her in for a butt soak. I'm worried she's not eating well so I'm offering her warm soaked pellets and scrambled egg to entice her to eat.

She actually spent most of the soak just calmly sitting there. I wasn't holding her there or anything! It must have felt good i guess.

Beltorze started having leg weakness on Monday in his right leg making it hard for him to climb. He was brought to the emergency avian vet. He had bloodwork (waiting on it) and is preemptively scheduled for an xray next week when results are back. A physical exam showed that he’s a good weight, healthy feathers, normal feces, and behaviorally functioning normally (eating, drinking, talking, preening). He was given a super low dose of pain medication but his symptoms aren’t resolving so it’s unlikely a sprain. According to the vet, this could very possibly be a result of the kidneys or a tumor compressing on his sciatic nerve, causing mobility issues in that leg. The blood tests will tell us more when they come in, followed by the xray. I rushed ordered on Amazon some wider perches and a large seagrass woven net to help him navigate his cage to prevent falling.

I love my little green man very much, the idea of something being wrong with his health has me in shambles. I’ve had him 11 years, so of course he’s starting to get older and let bird genetics aren’t always great. I’ll have more information in about a week. I posted my Venmo and cashapp in my profile if anyone wants to donate towards this, there’s no pressure there, but I’m assuming the vet bills won’t stop at the blood work and xrays.

My baby bird Link is having seizures, we're taking him to the vet tomorrow unless his condition gets worse. I genuinely don't know what I'd do without him.

Of course I love Kai my other baby boy but me and Link have a special bond and I honestly don't think I'll be able to go on without him.

I'm a failure, severely mental I'll, not fit to go to school or have a job, I'm extremely suicidal and a lot more. Link was my anchor, he'd always come to me when I was sad. He was there when my friends were busy or my therapist appointments got cancelled.

I can barely function just thinking about the chance that he'd die.

James let out a sharp breath through his nose, visibly trying to maintain his composure as Jack spoke so casually — you’ll be stuck with me for a while — as if that weren’t already abundantly clear. And then, as if that weren’t enough, the pirate had the audacity to look at him with those maddeningly earnest eyes.

“Yes, well. I’ll believe the ‘not escaping’ bit when I see it.” James grumbled. But there was no real venom in the words. He hovered at Jack’s bedside like a reluctant guardian, gaze flicking down briefly when Jack insisted on just calling him Jack.

He cleared his throat — a little too loudly. “Fine. Jack.” His voice cracked slightly over the name, and he cursed himself inwardly.

Then Jack opened the compass.

James didn’t mean to stare. But he did. Watching the needle spin, and spin again, only to halt steadily, unshakably, at him.

The heat surged back to his face. He could feel it, all the way to the tips of his ears. He looked at Jack — saw the nerves written across his usually impish face. The bravado was gone. And the look in his eyes… it wasn’t a jest. Not this time.

James swallowed hard.

“...Give me that blasted thing,” he snapped meaner than he meant to, flustered, reaching out and snatching the compass from Jack’s hand. He held it up with forced detachment, trying to act as though he were examining a faulty musket, not some ridiculous emotional mirror.

At first, it pointed back to him, as expected — which only deepened his scowl. “There, you see? What did I—” But then the needle moved.

Then, smoothly, it Spun.

And landed Right at Jack.

James stared.

His hand didn’t move, but the compass did. The needle now pointed clearly at the pirate, and no matter how James tilted it — subtly, subtly — it kept reorienting.

Jack’s words echoed in his mind.

“My compass shows you what you want. What you really want.”

The blood drained from his face before rushing back up again with such force that he was sure he looked like a lighthouse beacon. His fingers curled tight around the brass casing.

“Rubbish,” he muttered, almost too quickly. “Utter nonsense. Parlor tricks and superstition. I don’t believe in fairy tales, Sparrow.” He shoved the compass back toward him with a little more force than necessary. “Keep your silly toy.”

"You'll be stuck with me for a while, mate." Jack stated, looking up at James. "Don't worry, I know I'm crazy, but not crazy enough to attempt an escape when I can barely stand. I wouldn't make it too far."

"You can just call me Jack, that is, if you want." the pirate said, pushing himself to sit upright, compass in hand. It didn't escape his attention James was blushing, too. "And my compass isn't broken, it's unique. Alright now, let's see..."

He opened the lid of the compass again. The needle spun around, once, twice, before stopping and pointing clearly at the Commodore. Jack bit his lip and tore his gaze away from the compass, to look at James. It was clear from the look on his face that he was anxious, almost afraid... waiting to see how James would react.

"Cat's out of the bag, eh?" Jack mumbled, then held the compass up for James to take. "Would you like to see where it points for you?"

poor bird getting cornered by ghoap at a bar

:(

soap is just so icky & obnoxious. horny little mutt can’t stop making overt passes at her. tries to paw at her tits a few times. just entirely too eager. he’s been hard in his pants for a half hour now. so she starts to shrink towards the tall & quiet one. maybe he’s a little nicer, he hasn’t said anything gross or tried to grope her so far. only to squeak when big fucker pulls her onto his lap and shoves his hand up her skirt

Headcanon that Zuko isn't just a master swordsman, but just really proficient with weaponry in general.

Swords, bows, spears, axes, knives, war hammers, crossbows, you name a weapon, and he probably knows how to use it well enough to teach you how to use it and then master it yourself.

He prefers his dual Dao because he's most proficient with them, but odds are that someone can just hand him a random weapon, and he can use it near perfectly.

When Zuko was younger and his bending still hadn't presented, Iroh used his connections to find him teachers like he did with Piandao in canon, because he didnt want Zuko to feel lesser (it majorly backfired but hey now he's got skills). For example, his archery teacher was a former member of the Yuyan Archers.

And then when Zuko’s fire-bending finally presented itself, he just kinda...kept up with it? Because he just learned how to use all these weapons freakishly well and weirdly fast, so why give it up after putting so much effort in? And now he's a prodigy in weaponry? Like yeah, that doesn't hold much weight in the royal family, but hey, it counts for something, right? He thinks to himself that his skill is gonna be useful at some point, right? Right, Uncle? This will be useful someday? RIGHT?
