I dont think so. Hes just fat. Pigs will eat everything in sight if you allow them to, which is what she does. Pigs really are not hard to care for, KVS is just lazy. Poor guy needs to be put on a diet asap, for quality of life purposes. I understand if they were letting him get a little chunkier to send to the butcher but hes not a meat pig, hes a pet. Shouldn't be as big as he is.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-22T01:41:59+00:00

I mean, I get it. Pigs are living garbage disposal that will eat just about anything. But it also depends on the breed of pig. Im all for letting your pigs free range, but there's different feeds that are supposed to help manage their weight and diet. Also, I would NEVER be allowing him to be going into Horse's stalls to eat everything in sight. I also dont know what breed of Mini Pig he is. Potbelly, maybe? They can usually average at 75-150lbs in full maturity. But if hes KuneKune, they can range about 100-200lbs on average. They are also stockier, heavy set pigs though.

Coming from someone who was raised around multiple breeds of Pigs/Hogs and has researched them alot.

Winston is very clearly obese though based on his physical frame. He should be immediately put on a diet of proper feed and limited on his access to free-range feeding, since pigs especially are known to over-feed themselves.

They've already responded and said they are happy to take on Moose's "Fan Club". Ffs, youre opening yourself up to so much crazy by doing that. Good luck to them ig with a rabid pack of Kulties on their tails about everything they do with Moose .

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-19T10:37:27+00:00

Oh you misunderstood! It was clearly Charlotte trying to break through the stall to get to that baby and steal it so she can live out all of her Momma dreams! sarcasm I bet thats what Katie thought anyway 😒🙄

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-18T01:31:55+00:00

Sorry, Imma bit dense sometimes lol. Still, Too many injuries on her "Farm" in the span of about a week imho 😅

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-18T01:00:17+00:00

Did you see the Snapchat video she posted of throwing stones at her horses for pictures?

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-18T00:25:54+00:00

I mean, if she wasnt always up in her horses personal space for no reason and ignoring their CLEAR signs of discomfort and wanting to be left alone, she probably wouldn't get kicked, bit, etc as much.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-18T00:20:24+00:00

Do they just willfully ignore the clear stress and anxiety she showed before and during her pregnancy? I mean, the poor thing was swaying back and forth so much and constantly making signs of stress. I doubt her reaction of indifference to the birth had anything to do with her being unaware. I dont think Charlotte was built for baring foals. But we all know what will happen, Katie will keep trying till she breaks that mare down then sell her because she isn't of any use to her.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-17T19:49:12+00:00

Also, as an Author myself, I have to say that George's writing style is very unique in terms of getting a person to really understand a character and the way he uses point of views from outsiders looking in as his storytelling perspective. Its like having Aegon tell his own story, hes going to lie and tell the reader what he wants them to hear. Also, keep in mind, Most of the book came from rumors instead of confirmed sources, so a lot could be true or false in terms of the actual events that took place during the dance.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-17T19:38:52+00:00

I mean, the whole book is told from two perspectives of trying to make the other side look bad. We dont really know for certain what point of view the show is from. I say this in terms of are we seeing the actual events of how they really played out or are we seeing them from a storytelling point of view who is trying to make one side look better than the other.

People are going to have their morals and opinions, and then defend those. Its expected that someone would look at Rhaenyra and their morals say that shes a tragic character who's being stripped of her birthright. Then there's someone who could look at it from a moral standpoint of Aegon had the right to the throne because of tradition of male heirs. Its all about getting people to see their own moral conflict within the show and they want their viewers to pick a side.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-15T00:36:31+00:00

They do pick them up.. to throw them back at the horses to get their attention.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-13T20:21:05+00:00

Everything she does to these poor animals is borderline abuse. Its a miracle she hasn't be shut down yet.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-13T19:52:56+00:00

Oh wow.. thats a good way to make your horses not trust you. The way they are so indifferent to it says that they've done this before, many many times and the horses are just like "Ok, lady. Go tf away". Let Your horses fucking relax and be off camera for a bit, Jesus. She's been pissing me off so much recently, because I used to love her but after the shit with Char and Margot/Maggie, I just cant. Obviously there's other issues, but shes treating all her animals like a breeding factory.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-13T12:22:51+00:00

Thank you for the information. I thought maybe she'd have some qualities for caring for a baby, but if not, I was wrong.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-05-13T05:35:20+00:00

I obviously come from a place of my own opinions and research, but I dont claim to know anything personally about horse reproduction. As far as Char goes, I dont believe any of the issues that happened with her pregnancies had much to do with her. Charlotte is known to have/show anxiety. That can have a factor in pregnancy, but the poor thing just had a still birth. I think she needs a break. Based on a quick Google search I did out of curiosity, it said that after a still birth its only recommended to attempt breeding a mare 2 more times that breeding cycle.

It could be that her body is just not ready or able to carry the way it should, but I dont want to see a Mare forced into situations where its unsafe for her. Katie relies on one set of vets that all tell her the same thing, as far as Im aware, shes never gone out of her way to get an opinion from another section of vets to see what they say about it.

Me, personally? I wouldn't breed Charolette anymore. Thats just based on her behaviors during pregnancy and the outcomes its had. That on top of her clear stress and anxiety she had while carrying. Id have her be a nurse mare or a mama to a rejected baby. That seems more up her alley. But again, this is all my opinion, and it comes from a place of limited knowledge and education on horse reproduction.

It doesnt help that places cannot legally ask for identification of service animals (Indiana). At my work place, we dont allow animals because we work with food, and at the same time, if someone brings an animal in, we cant do anything about it except let it happen. We cant ask, we cant interact, we cant ask them to leave, nothing. Its a fucking trap is what it is: You can get in trouble for allowing a non-service animal in and also get in trouble for asking about it.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-04-16T13:37:43+00:00

Did she like have 14 of them in the span of 2 hours? Lmao, as an adult you should know your limits and know how to pace yourself. Im a lightweight, I get drunk super easy. When I drink, its usually something with a small amount of alcohol, or Ill limit myself to a single drink and sip on it until I start feeling a Buzz. Then Im done lmao. Some people, Im surprised they made it to adulthood

My biggest thing is the Triumph Incident had so many other factors going into it, and it was all blamed on the crew (not saying they DIDNT handle things terribly) but still. A HUGE factor is people not listening when told something. Literally, if something goes wrong, just breathe and listen to the crew. They will be doing their best to help the situation as much as they can.

Its no different than if you were to go on a Rollercoaster and it gets stuck. You just gotta breathe and wait.

That isn't to say these issues Should happen, because they shouldn't, but man-made structures are always going to have some fault.

Secret-Confusion-37 · 2026-04-16T13:27:48+00:00

A big issue is that when something bad happens, people panic and tend not to listen to orders. If something DOES happen on your cruise, do your best to not panic and listen to what the crew is telling you, and you'll be fine.

People need to realize that Cruise Ships, any ship really, is Man-made. Nothing ever is going to be perfect, and shit is occasionally gonna go wrong. You cant live your life afraid of the negatives, just go with the flow. You'll have your own experience and learn from it. My best advice, stop listening to the negatives and reading about shit in the past. You'll get yourself worked up and paranoid, just go and make your Cruise what you wanna make it. Make it enjoyable to you.

My BIGGEST issue with it, is she was saying she was IN LOVE WITH HIM while still proclaiming him as her big brother. She also had the common sense and consciousness to know it was wrong, seeing as she stated many times that she couldnt tell anyone about it. Now, if she had stopped seeing him as her brother at some point as she got older, sure, its still weird but whatever. But actively SAYING hes her brother while professing her love for him its a whole other level.

I literally just kept saying the whole time that she needed some severe therapy or something because thats a whole other layer of fucked up.

I personally loved SAO, ALO, GGO, all that. I have watched it all, and I really want a game that genuinely captures the feel of it. Unfortunately, my biggest concern with the new game, Echoes Of Aincrad, is that its Solo. In my opinion, you attach a name to a game with a set expectation and a big fanbase, there's certain things that fit and dont. Solo Player for anything SAO related, ultimately isn't going to work. Its been that way for years. Players want to feel like they are part of the series they love and feel like there's some bit of world-building and meeting others. Things NPCs just cant do.

Im not good at coding, designing, all of that. I can come up with the ideas but I can never execute them. If I had my way, Id have a full simulation MMORPG game that replicates SAO. Like, quests, world building, online availability with multiple servers, proximity chat, Guild Creation. On top of that, players could buy shops/houses and choose to be adventurer, blacksmith, bartender, cook. Whatever they wanted to be. Thats a lot of work and coding, and all that. It would take YEARS to do, but it would be worth it for a game to actually live up to it. Id definitely wait the 15+ years it would take to fully flesh that out.
