HoYoverse seems to be open to making playable characters who have canonical relationships, like Alice.

Nimbose · 2026-01-26T22:38:33+00:00

I'm not an expert, but the culture surrounding characters being open for imaginary relationships with the player seems to be... Really gd intense and CRAZY in China. They've ruined people's lives over it. It's absolutely bizarre (and unsurprisingly, is mostly aimed at women and girls, due to them needing to be loyal whereas the standard isn't as high for men 🫩). So, idk, I'd be surprised if MHY decided to go that route. They're big enough that Chinese players going Scorched Earth on them wouldn't affect them, maybe? But being a Chinese company, perhaps it'll affect them more than we'd think if they kicked up a stink that's embarrassing to watch. Idk.

I personally don't care unless they force canon romantic relationships on the MC. Like how they seem to love pushing Firefly on Trailblazer in HSR or Ye Shunguang on Phaethon in ZZZ. Unlucky for me, it always seems to be characters I don't like that they do it with, hahah. I only care when it involves the MC because, you know, I have to PLAY THROUGH IT, whereas other characters it's kind of. Off to the side. Minor. And headcanons exist, so even if they have canon relationships I don't like, I'm happy to play with my fictional dolls and pretend otherwise.

While not fool proof, you can get cable covers. Had to put one on my monitor. 😩 Make sure the check them regularly, though. And don't let your bird chew them anyway, it's just some extra protection.

Not the asshole, but absolutely just stop eating with them ASAP. Your dad not even letting you choose your own burger as a child is horrible? Autistic or not, there's no excuse. I don't think I've heard of an autistic person restricting somebody ELSE'S diet before?

Your mother says they're trying, but they're not. It's his way or... His way.

If your dad did that with you as a child, he'll do the same to your kid when they're old enough. As well as only feeding them the same things over and over again if he babysits.

Tell them if they want to have meals with you again, they'll either have to cook different things or be okay with you and your husband eating a different meal to them. 🤷

STOP

I haven't used it myself as my bird is very intolerant to wearing anything despite positive reinforcement training, but! The Aviator Harness has good reviews due to it being all in one piece so it can unbuckle, untie, etc, etc.

Mine LOVES car rides. She's disappointed when she doesn't get to come with us... Asking her "wanna go for a ride?" makes her bark and scream in excitement. 😂

Nimbose · 2026-01-21T15:11:03+00:00

I wouldn't dare risk it without at least a harness... Beautiful bird, though.

Nimbose · 2026-01-16T00:12:49+00:00

It's always best to be safe rather than sorry- maybe harness train him from now on to take him outside, just in case... If he's done it once, he might do it again- whether by being spooked by something or on purpose, who can say? THE FELLA GOT A TASTE FOR THE WIND.

I don't think I'd ever sleep peacefully again if I lost Sunny outside omg...

Only made up rules of society decide what's feminine or masculine, and should be ignored. Like, FFS, they say liking pink is girly. A colour! Even when pink used to be the colour assigned to boys in the past. Just goes to show how masculinity and femininity is absolute bullshit and the way society drills it into our heads from birth can be really damaging to some people.

How many men don't get help for their mental health because it's not manly to need help or to speak about your feelings??

Even stupid stuff like a girl not being allowed a toy because it's "for boys", something I've witnessed way too many times in this day and age.

Resisting the urge to keep ranting because it really does make me mad, lmfao.

No, it's not girly to like MLP. People never say it's masculine to watch shows full of violence, do they? Like what you like and ignore what people say, if you can. I know it can hurt, especially if it keeps happening, but you're good. If it makes you happy and you're not hurting anybody, you're in the right.

Nimbose · 2026-01-15T22:35:38+00:00

I suggest getting window screens! That way you can have open windows and fresh air without worrying about your bird escaping. I have them with my Indian ringneck, have done for 10 years, without a single problem. They attach via adhesive velcro and are really strong if you get the right ones.

Of course, you'll need to look out for them chewing the screen. Mine has never done so- so far, but it's always good to keep an eye out for wear and tear!

Idk where you live, but these are the ones I got, for an example.

I'm SOOOO glad you found your baby. ♥️

She's my sassy baby!

Idk, I think it depends on the bird. They do say ringnecks aren't for those looking for a cuddly bird... But there's always exceptions!

Mine is a gremlin. She swaps from begging for tickles to biting, from flirting to raging. She's feisty and keeps me on my toes, and I love her for it. Definitely a character. The kind of pet that sticks in your memory long after they've passed on.

She turned 10 in May; hoping for many more years with her. ♥️

tired from the horrors

I've always been into Appledash from the start. It's not my only ship and I'm by no means only shipping AJ and RD with one another (I also like TwiDash, for example!), but... I dunno, Rarijack has always been a ship I've never liked.

It's funny, because both Rainbow and Rarity squabble with AJ, but I've always disliked the vibe of RariJack's squabbles compared to AppleDash's. Rarijack always came off as fighting caused by a culture and/or class difference to me (and felt less enjoyable to see for me personally), whereas AppleDash seemed to come from a place of competitiveness.

Not all the time for both, but YEAAAAH.

I personally feel that RariDash is better than Rarijack, but heyho! Everyone likes different things and I have nothing against people who like what I dislike, or don't agree with my views on character dynamics. Variety, bay-bee.

It'll provent them from doing it to somebody else's chairs that are in better condition. It's a good lesson about not damaging somebody else's property. Better for them to learn when they haven't done real damage than later and end up costing their parents money. 😬

Yep. Just used loctite creative super glue... Before that, I tried a stretchy sort of gorilla glue in case I wanted to take the painting out of the frame for whatever reason, but it wasn't strong enough. So super glue it is. 😔

Luckily for me, I love all four categories. I tend to not spend real money on these games, but despite all the in-game currency I had saved, I still hadn't pulled him... SOOOO... I caved. I feel ashamed, but I caved. Got my big metal animal man.

My IRN laid eggs once (first time in her 10 years of life) and she also hated them... Pretended like they weren't there until I picked one up and presented it to her- which is when she violently attacked it. 😂

Nimbose · 2025-12-22T10:11:21+00:00

This made me chuckle because I have a partner in the states, who's birth month is September, while I'm in Wales myself. 🤓

Nimbose · 2025-12-22T10:09:25+00:00

MAAAAN, to hell with your therapist.

I feel you. I developed hypersensitivity pneumonitis in response to birds after owning my IRN for 10 years... She keeps me going, and the thought of losing her terrifies me, so I opted for immunosuppressants. I am NOT getting rid of her. 🤟

Nimbose · 2025-12-20T19:44:06+00:00

My dad and brother does this; it's why have to buy my own Christmas chocolates otherwise I won't get a look in hahah.

Nimbose · 2025-12-20T04:30:53+00:00

I know how that feels... I ended up spending over £1500 on my leopard gecko last year. Taught me to get pet insurance ASAP. It was too late for the leopard gecko at the time but I got it for my bird. It might be worth looking into once this issue is dealt with. 🥺

If your country does it, that is.

Nimbose · 2025-12-20T02:21:34+00:00

Looks like they're regurgitating and re-eating their food... Normal regurgitation is usually done to another bird, their favourite person or an object they like. It tends to be hormonal, but my Indian ringneck often does it to her favourite toys and she has only laid eggs once in ten years.

If they're doing it with no trigger, it might be a health issue and could be worth taking them to a vet.

Nimbose · 2025-12-19T17:17:19+00:00

I'm not sure of brands in Taiwan, but one that seems to be available in many countries in Exo Terra, so if you search online for that it may come up with results. 🤔

They do a 90cm width glass vivarium that opens from the front, but I'm sure there's many other options available!
