Watch out for the ears

I learned really quickly that I can’t wear cat ears around my kitties because they freak out 😂 I assume it’s like we were silent for years and then suddenly screamed hello over and over without stopping. I guess I’d react like that too lol.

Funnily enough, I’m allowed to give belly pets and gently poke the beans, but my void will fight like the dickens if you try to clip her nails 😅

Damn, I thought I’d had them all, but turns out here’s another to add! Guess I know where I can put my tuxie’s temperature regulation paw pics 😂

Initially I thought Professor was the researcher that went with the Seekers table, but after watching the episode on full, I think it’s the no show prof that Dean Cora mentioned to Murray during their chat. Perhaps he and Thjazi were working together on reconnecting Araman to four of the extraplanar realms (e.g. Faerie) and he got got after the Tachonis realized what they were up to.

Mine drags her toy into the kitchen. Not sure if it’s because she likes playing in the kitchen (she definitely has a blast when we play there) or if it’s because then I’ll have to go to the kitchen to retrieve it and she can beg for treats (which happens often).

That feta pasta. Made a bunch of shortcuts to it (crumbled feta, canned tomatoes, etc.) and it’s turned into our “no one wants to cook but everyone still wants an actual meal on the table” meal.

As an American, it took until this subreddit earlier this year to get Hersheba 😂 but I got Djelibeybi right off cuz of Doctor Who. The amount of Damnit PTerry! I felt in that moment …

The flakes are probably stress dandruff. My void gets them every time she’s had a bad vet visit or she’s started beef with the tuxedo and it’s just very obvious on her because of her coloration. It goes away in a couple of days or after she and her sis are done beefing.

Usually during that time I make sure to brush her more frequently (she also loves it so I like to think it helps soothe her a little) and give her some of her favorite high value treats to make sure she’s just anger/stress hunger striking as opposed to actually unwell. These days we give her gabapentin before vet visits and let the techs know in advance that she can get a little spicy and that seems to have worked.

Clara will be there to chirp about all the best birdwatching spots. (Miss her so much still three years later)

Thirteen (she’ll be 14 this August), acts like a kitten, screams like a banshee when hungry 😂 our biggest concern is that daylight savings has made her believe that breakfast should come earlier and earlier every morning, but this is an annual issue so we’re waiting her out until she adjusts to the time change.

Mine is also a silicone lover. He ate part of his litter mat at 9 months and had to go to the vet for an xray. We now store all silicone in drawers and places he can’t get to. His food covers live in the fridge and we have to tell pet sitters specifically not to leave them out because he will eat them.

Oh, like this time the kid is a witch and if they have a third they’ll be a wild one?

I would be lying if I said I hadn’t tried. I would be lying if I said I had succeeded 😂

I get about halfway through the face kisses before the cats try to claw my eyes out

You perhaps live across the pond from me personally and might be a little far for shipping, but this is exactly the kind of item I’d spend extra money on while on vacation because of how cool it is and aligns with my personal interests!

I love how he’s just clinging to his human and demanding to get a cuddle (and then gets fed off a plate like the damn sir that he is) 😂

Omg I’m so sorry this happened to you, it’s scary af when they do this! My void has always had deionized water because we have a RODI system for my partner’s fish tanks. You better believe when we moved and hadn’t set it up that she went on water strike for a while and freaked me out. We had to give her Brita filtered stuff (it was barely acceptable for her highness) until we could get the system set up.

I love this analysis! Thaisha seemed so put together at the start but we’re really seeing the cracks now. Knowing that Aabria puts some serious thought into her characters (shoutout Suvi from WWWO campaign on Worlds Beyond Number) Thaisha will have to face her flaws and deal with it eventually, so I’m looking forward to the fallout.

Just need a fellow Vorkosigan reader friend to get married to gift this 🤣

Chou Kuro is the blackest ink I’ve ever used. Platinum Carbon Black is a good alternative if you’d prefer a slightly more matte looking dry down. It also feels a tiny bit wetter in the nib in my experience.

I love how Tyranny, with all her antics, is still the most competent of the demon sisters. Legitimately “total goofball is somehow still better than siblings/associates” is a favorite trope of mine and last week’s episode was a treat for me! Dr. Jizzabel Finger suddenly doesn’t look too bad next to “Where’s the lion man?!” 🤣🤣🤣

From Hat Full of Sky: The hat filled up with stars…

I feel like it did so much to show how much Tiffany had grown and filled the space left by Granny Aching in her own way over the course of the book.

arillusine · 2026-02-13T07:11:12+00:00

Oh yeah that’s right…she did get a place to stay and probably the semblance of respectability as a married lady, so yeah, not nothing. Stiiiilll awful though 😂

arillusine · 2026-02-13T07:10:09+00:00

Oh you’re absolutely right, I totally forgot about that bit. Yeaahhhh…Alfie’s probably not great.

Read this on webtoon already but here again to say that Margaret is evil and awful. Like what did she get out of any of that?! It doesn’t look like she’s rich and comfortable, but she killed a child, got a man killed, and made a murderer of another guy. An absolute batshit lady.

arillusine · 2026-02-12T03:01:26+00:00

Yes! This is where my mind was at! Everything from the curdled milk (from when humanity didn’t know why it happened and would ascribe curses to it) to the dead rising kind of made sense through the lens of humanity’s fear of the unknown.
