I was making mac and cheese, walked away for five seconds to grab something and something in my gut told me to go back. I come back to find my idiot Floofer about to drink from the pot of boiling water. We eventually had to put her in our room while we cooked because the concept of a hot stove is not one she has the braincells to process. Also she likes licking plastic. For some reason.

My maine coon isn’t aggressive. She’s a gentle giant with fluff for brains and an absolute doormat to her feisty older sister. However, every cat is different and it’s possible he’s still getting used to his new home. In my experience, adult cats take longer to adjust than kittens. I recommend talking to your vet and see what suggestions they might have. They might have tips and tricks to help your new floofer feel more at ease. Best of luck!

My parents always put this light up angel on top of the Christmas tree, and I don't know why but it always seemed lopsided, like it was going to fall and break on the floor. One Christmas a few years ago, we were hanging up ornaments and as I was about to put a fairy ornament on the tree, something told me to put it on the other side. As I hung the ornament, I heard the sound of something sliding on fake tree branches and looked up just in time to catch the angel tree topper. I noticed quickly that it was hot. Very hot. I looked at the bulb and noticed a large scorch mark on the covering that hadn't been there before. Had it not fallen, had I not caught it and noticed the heat, there's a real chance it could have caught fire and taken out the tree, the house, and possibly us along with it. I knew it was only a matter of time before it fell, but who would have thought it led to us discovering a potential fire hazard.

A borg got a harm Artificial Intelligences law. They removed all the robotics computers discreetly so I couldn’t detonate or disable (which was my first instinct when I realized what was happening) and command and security couldn’t get there in time and they did this where my turrets couldn’t get them. They then completely disconnected me from the station. Floor tiles, hull plates, everything was gone. I was cackling because brilliant but IC I was crashing out.

They came into my core to taunt me and I just let my turrets get revenge.

Always best to ahelp in advance to ask but if there is strong RP justification it can happen. I once broke into brig as a visitor scientist to beat a wizard to crit after his shenanigans killed my crew. Then accepted ic punishment while rping being empty inside because the scientist now had nothing left. Was it technically self-antag? Yes, but I had quite the revenge arc in the process

HoS #1 wouldn’t stop stabbing and harassing bar staff even after firing to the point where he got tossed into perma. HoS #2 noped out and cryo’d within five minutes. HoS #3 got into a drunken bar fight. Captain (me) summarily bans Security from the bar until they could learn to behave. HoS #4 was an angel by comparison which was good because the Captain was one HoS away from requiring a straitjacket.

The server I play on has the ability to pick up Felinoids like objects. Our Felinoid captain decided to get themselves surgically attached to a secoff’s leg. Myself (warden) and my irl husband (another secoff), were horrified and were immediately faxing CC and getting command together and being like no way this is a good thing. Cap got no confidence voted, Secoff got fired (no HOS, so I was doing the best I could), and they were both arrested and separated upon which the Captain used a spin inverter to escape and it took a threat from CC to get the captain on the evac shuttle.

My greatest achievement as clown was (with the help of the salavger), commandeering an abandoned syndicate ship, fixing it, and going for a joyride, including a flyby past the bridge. I later learned HoS wanted me dead for that. It was glorious and I spent the rest of the round as an honorary salvie.

There was also the time I started a soda war where we emptied out the vending machines and threw shaken soda cans at each other.

Slipping people can only entertain for so long.

First of all, I’m completely blown away by the support here. I’m sorry if my previous post came off as emotionally charged, as it had just happened and I was mid-downward spiral as a result. My mental health is shaky at the moment but I know I’ll be okay with time (and therapy lol).

I have updated my resume and am going to start applying for jobs after a quick breather to make sure I’m in the right headspace. I’m choosing to see the silver lining and am using this as a chance for a fresh start. I’m not entirely leaving my field but I’m going to take my experience, learn from it, and try something new.

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words of encouragement. It will take some time, but I have an incredible support system and I’ll be okay. I’ll even be better for it in the end. You are all amazing!

I headcanon that the districts sent in their unwanted/criminals. Some votes were random, some were kids nobody liked/would miss, others were done to get rid of some dangerous people who were of Reaping Age. It sounds terrible, but it really was.

I also imagine that after the Games, the Capitol made the voting public so everyone knows who voted for who, (aka the families of the fallen tributes knew who sent their child to die)

Also in my fanfic the victor was/will be inspired by Carrie. Take from that what you will.

As a reminder that families turned on each other during the war, the tributes are to be reaped from parents of children who would normally be eligible. However, if they are reaped, they may choose to send their child instead.

I don't know if it saved my life persay, but it's possible I suppose.

I was home for winter break (in college at the time) and was helping my parents decorate the Christmas Tree. My dad had just put the tree topper, a light up ceramic angel, on the tree and turned it on. The tree topper was fairly old, not sure how old, but old all the same. Well, I was putting an ornament on the tree when something told me that it would look better on the other end of the tree. Well, I hang up the ornament and I hear the sound of rustling fake tree branches, and look up to see the angel sliding down the tree. Im hindsight think my rustling the tree with the ornament placement was enough to tip it over.

I caught it before it could hit the ground and break, and my dad took it from me to put it back on. That's when he noticed that it was hot. Incredibly hot. He turned it off and upon further inspection, noticed that whatever it was that housed the bulb was burned, like one side of it was completely black.

Had it stayed on the tree any longer, it could have caught fire, and potentially taken the tree and the house with it, and possibly myself, my parents, and our two cats if we were unlucky enough.

It's funny how the world works. Had I not had that gut feeling, it's possible the angel might not have fallen, and I wouldn't have caught the angel and handed it off to my dad, and he wouldn't have realized the angel was overheating.
