I swore I was going to get an orange himbo cat and name him John Smith. As the victims of my Blaze campaigns know, I actually ended up with two gerbils who I named John and Smith.
So, no cats for two reasons:
One - I have two adorable snacks running around.
Two - I can't afford vet care, etc, for a cat.
One of my previous gerbils was a grey named Freddie. (He and his brother were named after the Rupert Bear twins Freddie and Fergie). When I adopted a cat named Amy, I was a bit worried about how they'd interact. Turned out Freddie had absolutely no fear of her, and Amy didn't want to eat him.
Amy was mostly blind. She could see movement, but not much else.
Freddie learned quickly that she could hear him when he squeaked, she would figure out where he was roughly when he wiggled his tail outside his cage, and this became the bestest gerbil game ever. He would squeak to get her attention, then would flick his tail around until she got close, and then he'd just freeze.
She would be perplexed, and after a few minutes would hop off the chair.
Freddie would promptly repeat the process until he decided it was his nap time.
No one will ever convince me animals don't have senses of humour.

was a bit anxious yesterday evening about going to the doctor today (the appointement was "early" and i'm chronically late and i had 5 questions and i'm not always the most articulate) but i was just in time (came in, sat, took off my jacket, and the doctor opened the door to call me) and as the friend who recommend her to me had said, she was very nice, good listener, had replies and advice to all my questions.
it made my day tbh lol

how exactly did nova & paro make optico??? a shape shifting robot sounds pretty difficult to make for a 14/15 yo kid, even if hes super talented with robotics. or is this a normal thing in the UE universe??
i honeslty don't know how to explain this one because i haven't entirely thought it through myself :_:,,, but the main part of optico that makes his abilities 'believeable' per se is that he was made from an old computer! the only parts that were actually properly built by paro were his transformation forms (only hammer and roller skates in the beginning of the series), which were rudimentary at first and were eventually upgraded and worked on as he and nova improved at robotics and designing. also bringing some seriously unrealistic sci-fi into the mix, but i think maybe optico has some sort of compartment that compresses the parts unique to certain transformations inside of him, which is why he's so small

there is a very specific kind of embarrassment when not only do you lose control of the preps you are in charge of, but those preps dismiss themselves before the end of the school day and go outside where their parents and guardians are all waiting and SEEING YOU FAIL TO KEEP THEIR VERY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM

Every year as it gets closer to Christmas I remember the time my boss at the fast food place I worked in college decided it would be a great idea to force the Jewish 16 year old who didn’t like children to dress up as Santa for the kids on family night

Getting to look after a dog is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, sweet lil babie. On the other hand, you will feel like the cruellest monster in the world as they look at you with wide, unblinking eyes, begging you to let them be free so they can fuck up a trestle table full of appetisers.
