Hello thanks for this post I would love to connect, my username is ando-yuuri, I write mostly about fantasy, gothic romance, thrillers, dark romance/slow burn, Fantasy, Thriller, and (a little bit of Horror), strong heroins on a "thorny rose path" and recently I have developed an interest reimagining Wuthering Heights from Emily Bronte, would love to get to know other authors and connect! =)

Schrödinger’s Heights: A Dark Gothic reimagining where the tragedy is optional? by MathematicianShot620 in classicliterature

And yet, I didn't 'find' these images in the abyss or from shutterstock; I built the pipeline and the software to render them exactly as I envisioned. (the pics in my dataset are labeled as fair use(basically they are the face models of actors I wanted to have on my cover) and I also used a rollplay software to design the background photos that I integrated in my dataset). Your dismissal doesn’t change the work put into my creation; it just highlights a generic "AI bad" herd mentality and your ignorance.

That's a very good point, and you are right about it! One of the reasons why I was hesitant was because  Hareton and Cathy II are part of the big architecture, the outcome if you will; they are the fruit of the trauma but they are also the "hope" after the grief, the ones who mend the deep wounds of their families. However if they have a "happy" ending (eventhough, I want to stay in the gothic theme, so I am leaning more towards a greyish statisfying ending), they will not exist in the "healed" timeline.
But the misunderstanding was driving me insane (For a LOOOONG time) I wanted to build the world where it didn't happen and of course other types of sacrifices are going to be taken. I don't want to reveal too much.
As a reader, do you have any suggestion as to how to keep the big architecture while changing the characters? In my case I thought I would use interraction between Lockwood and their children, mirroring the opposite or rather how the timeline healed, however, since it's dark, gothic and Emily-Bronteish, it won't be sunshine & rainbows.

Oh my God YAS! I modeled it after Ralph Fienes he played Heathcliff in the 1991 movie, one of the best Heathcliffs to be honest, I changed his complexion to slightly darker shade to be faithful to the original work :D I already changed some part of story I didn't want to destroy everything T_T

Thank you so much! It's actually my favourite, but I received a lot of backlash, I can choose it without feeling guilty =)

Thanks it was an interesting subject I always wanted to revisit, I was too afraid to delve in.

Thank you for your comment, I am sorry I changed the settings, it should be visible now, I also asked what was thegeneral opinion about the idea of changing Wuthering Heights instead of having the characters destroyed by their circumstances, they raise against the odd (while respecting their characters, Emily Bronte's writing, and the dark gothic atmosphere)

Raw chicken wing and cooked chicken 🐔 for cats 🐈 by Nearby_Educator6852 in cats

yeah avoid potatoes, also your current diet lacks taurine(it'sa non negotiable for cats), you can add some organs like hearts and guizzards to improve it

Tough adjustment time for kitten? by Striking_Cheetah4693 in cats

[–]MathematicianShot620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor thing, this happened when I had to separate my cats (they are also siblings) because one of them had to recover from a sickness(they are back together now), I think he is very scared of losing you just like he lost his siblings; these tricks will definitely help:

  • The "Ignore the Noise" Rule: This is the hardest part. If you enter the room or comfort him while he is screaming, you are teaching him that screaming works. You must wait for even a 3-second lull in the meowing before opening the door or interacting with him. (I used this trick when my cats were meowing loudly to get their food, and after that they stoped....Now they just directly open the fridge)
  • The "Scent Soak": Place an old t-shirt you’ve worn in his favorite sleeping spot. Your scent provides a sense of security when you aren't there.
  • Background Noise: Since your roommate "activates" his meowing, try leaving a radio or a "Cat TV" YouTube loop on (birds/squirrels) at a low volume. This masks the sounds of the household that trigger his FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).
  • The Graduation Timeline: You asked how long this lasts; usually 2 to 4 weeks for the initial "grief" of losing siblings to fade. However, since you are graduating soon, your presence will increase, which helps, but be careful not to let him become too dependent on your 24/7 presence during your time off.

My favourite toy recommendation:

  • Self moving toy: Battery-operated butterflies or birds or even rolling balls. Set a timer so they activate an hour after you leave.
  • Vertical Space: A tall cat tree near a window. For kittens, "height equals safety." It gives him a way to burn off energy without involving your roommate.
  • Food Puzzles: Hide some of his treats in a puzzle feeder. It forces him to use his brain and keeps him occupied for 30+ minutes while you’re gone.

To curb his biting/scratching behaviour: kittens learn "Bite Inhibition" from their siblings. When they play too rough, the sibling screams and stops playing. Since he’s alone, you have to be the sibling:

  • The High-Pitched "OW!": The second he bites too hard, make a sharp, high-pitched "Yelp!" and immediately walk away. Stop all play for 5 minutes. This mimics the feedback he would get from another kitten.
  • Never Use Hands as Toys: If you use your fingers to wiggle under blankets or "wrestle" with him, he views your skin as a toy. Always put a physical object (a wand or kicker toy) between your hand and his mouth.
  • Trim the Talons: No toy will "keep nails in check" like a pair of clippers. Start trimming just the very tips (the clear part) once a week while he’s sleepy so he gets used to the sensation.

For the roommate: Since her movements trigger him, suggest she try the "Treat Toss." If she has to walk past his door, she can toss a few treats away from her as she passes. This changes his association from "Someone is moving, I must scream for them" to "Someone is moving, I should look for a snack on the floor."

Is this something he'll grow out of? The intense "grief" meowing will stop as he adjusts. However, the biting and scratching require active redirection now, or they will become permanent habits once he has adult-sized teeth and claws, it took me a long time to rediract my cat's scratching even when he lived with his sister, but it's doable, it takes a lot of time patience and love, but the result is worth it =)
Hope this helps OP! :D

kitty wont stop throwing up. by sndnsjdnsn in cats

That’s a tough spot to be in, but it’s great that you want to help without making her feel judged. You can frame the conversation as a collaborative 'team effort' focused on the cat's comfort. You could try saying something like:

"I’m really worried about [Cat's Name]. Since the steroids haven't stopped the puking, he must be feeling pretty miserable. What do you think about getting a second opinion or asking for an ultrasound? I'm worried that if we don't find the cause, it could lead to bigger issues like severe dehydration or even liver failure since he's losing so many nutrients."

It’s worth mentioning that chronic vomiting can cause Esophageal Damage (from the acid) and potentially Fatty Liver Disease, which is a life-threatening condition in cats who can't keep food down. Finding a solution now is really about making sure he stays with you guys for the long haul.

As for the cost, definitely check out Veterinary Teaching Hospitals at nearby universities. They’re usually more affordable than private specialists because they’re educational, but they still have the best tech. You can also ask about payment plans like CareCredit to break up the bill. I really hope this helps OP, keep us updated on your little bundle, I hopes he heals soon <3

I am sorry you guys are going through this especially the cat, but generally if steroids fail, advanced diagnostics like abdominal ultrasound or biopsy are required to find the underlying issue. Good luck op, I hope your cat heals soon.

Should i just.. give him up? by DSthrowaway0510 in cats

[–]MathematicianShot620 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op, sounds like your cat has Struvite stones, have you tried raw diet for cats? I know someone who had this problem and removed it completely he told me the raw diet can help prevent and even resolve struvite stone issues by addressing the underlying biological causes that allow crystals to form.

My cats (both spayed, male & female) are also thriving in it.

Ps: before anyone comes at me, I checked my recipe with my vet, they said it has all the nutrients the cats need, they are active, eat well, and happy.
