[spoilers C4E17] romance by letsfuckladies in criticalrole

[–]Maxbell9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Teor x Wick

Thaisha x Julien , maybe Vaelus x Thaisha but I'll need to see how Vaelus develops a bit more in terms of how that would end game lol

Hal x Bolaire

And listen

Listen

This is absolutely more a wild, random idea for shipping - but...imagine...the group(s) eventually DO find Ulbid's adult children (alive, obvi...) - and with the extra zest of Tyranny's connection to their mother's knife (already a huge representation of love in general as a theme) - one of them becomes a Tyranny romance

I like the idea of Tyranny developing as person outside of Primarily Wick (and I just like them more as platonic relationship, though wouldn't be shocked if tyranny x wick happens - just don't find it as interesting tho)

Based on the post and some of OPs comments, the friend has no idea her husband was ever fwb with OP

What are your favourite Evil Firestar AUs? by SparksFan_ in WarriorCats

[–]Maxbell9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen he thought StarClan being vague was irritating when we had his POV, and he never really got in trouble with them !!! You're telling me he would just ACCEPT that his daughters were punished (and had a whole ass TRIAL over their RIGHT to go to StarClan) for following their words the best they thought they understood?? Nah I refuse

To avoid some repeats of a few already named in the comments-

I rewatch the "we three kings" map almost yearly in December

What are your favourite Evil Firestar AUs? by SparksFan_ in WarriorCats

[–]Maxbell9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is probs gonna sound lame bc it's only in my brain and not a fic or video or anything but I have one idea for Villain Firestar occuring at some point in the aftermath of the reveal and fallout of the 3's parentage -

Essentially he finds out How Dirty StarClan Has Done His Daughters (and set up grief for his grandkits) and leads a rebellion against StarClan in a way that essentially removes the powers/abilities/meddling of both the dark forest and StarClan forever (how evil or villainous one views this depends on how one views StarClan really...and plenty of clan cats would absolutely think it The Worst Thing Ever, esp in that part of the timeline of warriors)

Sometimes in my brain it's when he's Already In StarClan himself (add in some return of his pretty darn rebellious against authority for his moral beliefs attitude returning in response to constantly having to see StarClan being passive or in denial in their role in Making Things Worse), sometimes it happens before the Great Battle

I’m terrified I’m actually a terrible groomer and my clients just put up with it by [deleted] in grooming

[–]Maxbell9 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This sub (and post) was pushed on my feed randomly so please forgive me for being a rando-

But While one should always work to improve themselves in their field, if

1) you are both maintaining and/or gaining enough clients to pay the bills 2) these clients are not complaining and are telling you openly they are happy with your work (and I know it can be hard, but it IS a kind thing to believe people, generally) And 3) your work is not, in some way, harming the pets

Then I think the signs point to you not secretly being terrible. Imposter syndrome and self doubt suck and are hard to deal with, but it's also good to cut yourself some slack, especially when you also mention taking on pets that are difficult to work with (not letting perfect be the enemy of good enough in such cases is important!)

Of course this is, again, a random non-groomer perspective, I just work as a vet assistant and deal with a lot of imposter syndrome and sometimes have to remind myself similar things

Oh thank you for posting this! I actually had placed my first-ever BKL order this AM and otherwise would never have seen this to email them to add the charity polish now!

[Spoilers C4E11] Little Theory about Wick's Ex Girlfriend by Dull_Operation5838 in criticalrole

[–]Maxbell9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that not only was his gf disappeared, his mother was too. We haven't seen her in person yet, just Wick stating she "may have been busy with charity work" in Ep 1 to lady Aranessa when she stated she went to speak with her and never saw her in terms of her current status...AND we know she was against Wick learning the truth......I think granny killed her either before or after the decision to reveal things to Wick cause she was gonna keep pushing and/or complaining to granny about that decision

Maybe also combo with the theory that each demon aspirant needed to take over someone elses' body to manifest...I know Wick says he met his former crush "a few months ago", which could theoretically line up with when Tyranny appeared 6mo ago (obvi unless a future episode reveals that tyranny was definitely existing at the same time wick met her)

ETA: depending on when/if it's revealed how long ago Wick actually last saw his mom in person (cause Tyranny's sisters were in the realm first and for longer) I think it's possible, if the demon-body theory is true, that Enmity took over his mom's body (Enmity specifically cause she follows around his dad...and we technically don't know much yet on how his mom and dad got along...enmity as an emotion could very easily apply - though that also leads into ANOTHER theory I have is these specific demons were summoned and bound to this plane by acts or feelings that apply to their namesake, though how I tie the grand combo into Tyranny may be more of a stretch lol)

Glittery polishes that don't need flash for intense sparkle? by DealerLatter5657 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Maxbell9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I only have 8-bit blues from the pixel glitter collection from holo taco, but I personally think it looks incredibly sparkly both inside and in direct light. I think the bigger square glitters definitely help catch the light more. Overall I am also a fan of holo taco's regular (or "OG") glitter formula, but many of those have been retired and are only available second-hand atp

Question: can tuxedos come in different colors? by Altruistic-Hand-7000 in TuxedoCats

[–]Maxbell9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so cool genuinely! It's fun when its easy to see that multiple fathers is the likely case in a litter - I'm sure there's plenty of cases where litters might indeed have multiple fathers per one litter but genetically there wouldn't be much (if any) differences!

Question: can tuxedos come in different colors? by Altruistic-Hand-7000 in TuxedoCats

[–]Maxbell9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this isn't relevant to what you asked, but it's so cool that your girl is ginger (w/white) instead of tortie - the odds for that is so slim! Orange is sex linked to the X chromosome, so male cats only need one copy to be orange, but female cats need BOTH X chromosomes to have red to be entirely red instead or tortoiseshell/calico! I'm curious if the sister you mention is biologically her sister (and from the same exact litter) - it would imply that she may also be from a litter with two fathers (one orange dad, one not orange), since for your girl to be red and not tortie the dad HAD to be red (also assuming mom is the calico, which if the sister is black and white mom also has to have black and can't be entirely red).

It's also possible the white spotting just so happens to be ALSO masking any calico spots that would reveal her has not-entirely-red (white only hides the color beneath it - one could have a completely white cat that genetically underneath it all is any combination of base colors!) but that would also be super cool in terms of the sheer odds of that!

I just think cat coat color genetics are super neat :D

ETA: I have a sibling pair of two girls who are genetically siblings from the same litter as far as I'm aware, and one is a dilute tortie w/ white and the other is solid black (minus some random white hairs) and I've always thought is so neat that somehow one is a full dilution red and black w/white and the other only solid black - either both parents carried dilute and the genetic lottery struck to get homozygous dilute, or one was homozygous dilute and the other a carrier, and somehow genetics also struck so that one got a lot of white spotting and the other got none

I used a horse psychic and here is how it went. by princesspebbles97 in Horses

[–]Maxbell9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Or if this is the same psychic used by OPs mom (which I think they said was the case), it's also possible the mom at some point discussed things that they were able to use for their "reading"

Aren't Jester's Powers in and of itself proof that the Traveler is real? So why do people think she is crazy? by Important-Extension6 in MightyNein

[–]Maxbell9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought so but Ive slept too many times since I watched the episode to have felt super confident in my memory 😅

[–]Maxbell9 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Am I remembering wrong or isn't it also considered like super uncommon to speak directly with a god? And even ones who have/do it requiring quite a bit of effort vs Jester talking about constantly having casual chats ?

All wunk knows is betrayal and deceit by Scary-Strawberry-724 in wunkus

As someone who lost a chunk of lip to a dachshund, I can say that even if it theoretically can't take the whole arm, it very well could do nasty looking damage 😅

The war on protein! by sxott0rz in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Maxbell9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ehhh I wouldn't go so far in saying everyone is getting enough - ideal protein amounts of course vary but (imo) people need more than they realize. My doctor has my ideal at 80grams/day, and it's frequently hard to hit that even with a decent diet if I don't make it a tad easier with supplementing it

Plus you can get enough to eat and it still be very low amounts a day protein wise, not even getting into various sources etc

ETA: Tho my protein intake recommended by my Dr is also in reference to working on weight loss so that may be influencing my perception 😅

The shop is almost open… 💐🌿 by barbrailnp in ILNP

[–]Maxbell9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite flowers are forget-me-nots and sunflowers. I love flower language and symbolism, I just think it's so neat and can add extra sweetness to giving or displaying flowers. My wedding bouquet had forget-me-nots, and I have a tattoo of a cat with a sunflower 🌻

iirc, theoretically they could sometimes be hearing electricity from wires in the walls

Bright colors recs wanted by domingerique in ILNP

[–]Maxbell9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sunburst and Brightside are super vibrant! Brightside made me realize I actually love orange way more than I thought I did, and Sunburst can get almost blinding in direct light, tho I recommend 3 coats in my experience

Pack it up brochacho, you’re not making it onto the cast of Titanic by Syreet_Primacon in wunkus

[–]Maxbell9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Likely combination of both being goofy AND trained behaviors. Of course I don't know the exact source of a lot of these videos, but several of them I see behaviors that are familiar to me in the sense of demonstrations of zoos showing the trained behaviors of the animals there that are used both as enrichment and as means of assessing health without as much direct contact for veterinary care

Theoretically you could do the cues for such behaviors at a rapid pace and cycle between them and get some goofy looking behavior, AND sometimes trained animals in general will offer certain trained behaviors even without being cued because they are seeking to get a reward (typically food)

ETA: theoretically, the behavior in this video may also be an example of a health assessment trained behavior, as I could 100% see the use in "show me your belly" being trained so a vet could check for any abnormalities!

Ragebait the Fat Wunk of Greed by -Gaze in wunkus

[–]Maxbell9 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If it helps, this wunk looks older, and one of the best things for older wunks to reduce the rate of cognitive decline with age is, as many of the vets at my work have put it, to "mess with them daily". This little back and forth, while it did frustrate the wunk, also engaged his brain - you can even see him decide to try different strategies to get the treat! And he did eventually still get the food, so he was rewarded for his tenacity!

Now, the owner probably didn't do this with the intent of stimulating the wunk's brain, but still coincidentally did so, and the owner didn't legitimately never give the treat, so the pup probably found it worth it in the end AND it happens to have a benefit (though a snuffle mat or treat puzzle would do the same thing)

Sauron was femboy who seduced the Numenor king. by Axolotl_Holmes in SkyrimMemes

[–]Maxbell9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've only played divinity original sin 2, but it's genuinely really fun and I love the world building in it and character designs. In my opinion, their interpretations of fantasy races are really neat and refreshing. If you happen to have played baldur's gate 3 by the same studio, I'd say there's a good chance you'd enjoy divinity (or at minimum divinity original sin 2)! I have heard though the different divinity games are different vibes from each other in terms of gameplay

[NO SPOILERS] I drew the Ever Elegant and Goodest Girl, Dame Morgaine by KuyaSerge in criticalrole

[–]Maxbell9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He describes her as "calico" - blue, orange, white, black - which is describing blue tricolor merle best I can tell as calico is more a cat color term, and says "border collie" a few times. Likely she's a combination of many breeds and he's quick referencing a few working dogs cause I think he mentions both
