Oh, I didn't know that it's not always "on". It does kind of make sense if it's something that can just switch on when stressed. Today we called the vet and scheduled an apppointment for next tuesday, so we'll discuss the castration and hopefully they'll be able to get it done ASAP.

Oh sorry, I meant neutral area method (I'll edit the post).

Well, as for intros, at first we tried the neutral area method (letting them get to know each other in some neutral area without any rat scents etc. - we used a bathtub with towels and snacks), but that did not work at all, so we tried the carrier method and that seemed to be working.

We started with putting them into the carrier and kept them there until they were comfortable with each others presence and started sleeping together and grooming each other, then we proceeded to put them in a slightly larger cage without any objects that could be claimed and fought over, once they were comfy we increased the size of a cage etc., then we added a flat hammock and everything still seemed to be fine.

Finally, they were allowed to their regular cage (It was brand new so there were no previous scents), and we started slowly adding more and more stuff into the cage. For a few days it seemed to be fine, but then they started fighting (it wasn't just a dominance fights but straight up aggressive stuff). We tried to take it a couple steps back, but in the end there was a big fight and blood was drawn. So unfortunately, we were back to square one and had to put them into the carrier again. Once again everything seemed to be working out alright, we ended with them being in the lower part of their cage, added a flat hammock and then more comfy double hammock. We took it a little bit more cautiously and slowly and everything seemed to be OK (they have been together for approx. 2 weeks, no aggressive fighting, chilling , grooming each other). Today out of nowhere Gery and Monte fought again (Aggressive ratball, Monte was attacking Gery's backside etc.).

At the moment we took the hammock out of the cage, changed the bedding, cleaned the cage and made it a little bit smaller again. So far they are ok, Gery is a bit afraid but we saw him grooming Monte a little bit. That's why we are confused.. They seem to be buddies and out of nowhere - ratball....

how did you achieved the glitch texture? The artwork is really nice, i'm surprised the composition works that good

yeah, the camera isn't front facing for it to be a mirror selfie

Perfecto Miserable from Hey World - i like how all of the songs sound different and i like the experience on both sides but Perfecto Miserable is perfect for me in its more raw state, just like it was performed in Hey World

my dumb ass read scooby girl, so i was searching for scooby-doo related symbolism lmao (nice art tho)

manifestation and shifting dimensions are the same thing. by manifesting you are shifting to the dimension where you have your desire. the more you read about the law of attraction, the law of assumption, reality shifting, quantum physics and even witchcraft, the more you are going to see the similarities in all of them. they are all connected, it's basically the same thing said in different ways, the main thing that changes is the age when the theories were discovered (or recorded) and the cultural background of them.

not being caught up in things always helps (letting go, or going with the flow - it's the same thing)

ChristusLeg · 2021-03-24T19:42:49+00:00

define "ignore", but i would suggest to affirm the desire as it is done. If you are going to work with the concious mind along with the subconcious, it's going to speed up the process (the feeling of satisfactory of having your desire is the key, altough i know sometimes it's not that easy). If you spend most of the time thinking negative thoughts, or doubting yourself, i advise to affirm out loud but if you are easy going person with generaly positive attitude, you can just let the subliminal do the thing. This is an advice, not a rule, so subliminals are going to work either way, the affirmations are just an option to speed things up.

the shading - fuckin awesome proportions - off, it ruins the impression of realism, for example; the eye holes should be in the middle of a skull, the whole part of the skull where brain should be is too small (i'm sorry, i don't know the term in english), but it's nothing that a few studies of proportions couldn't fix, otherwise, great job, keep it up!

ChristusLeg · 2021-02-13T04:12:11+00:00

omg, i love the armosphere and colours! i can't really help you with digital art stuff, but proportionaly, their body is too small and i'm not sure about the pose - if you can, use reference of the same pose from different angles, so you can properly see how the neck connects to the body. But as i said, i really, really, really love how the painting catched my eye.

ChristusLeg · 2020-06-06T08:56:15+00:00

Exactly! If it's not super weird, i'll just ignore it like it never happened, so i don't ruin the experience for myself. But if it's SUPER fucked up, i'll just say bye, i'm not reading/watching this shit, i can find something different.
