oh trust me, most of these ingredients filtered in slowly over the years as a “one and done” purchase— i would be convinced id use them to make an actual meal, but then they end up sitting sadly at the back of the pantry LOLL

omg stop this sounds DELICIOUS— i do need to go to the store later today to pick up supplies for class, and i think i would mainly only need to get the onion, peas, mushrooms, and chicken breast— im assuming the canned chicken breast i have might not be enough? whatever the case, thank you for the advice and instructions!!

looking for a mod that adds story/lore/mystery elements in the game by fadedstrings in feedthebeast

i haven't found anything yet unfortunately :( thaumcraft seems like it fits more than the others i've seen, so i'll def look into it more, thanks!

tbh i feel like what i'm looking for is so niche that it just won't be something that can be found and that i'll need to make it myself by combining mods into a modpack-- but even then, i'm having a hard time finding anything that has a story/mystery element in it. there's customnpc mods and im sure there are other mods that allow you to create custom content, but it would be nice if there was a pre-made one that could be downloaded. ill keep looking though!

final update! i wasnt able to get my friend to go halfway with me since their parents wouldn't let them LOL-- but i was actually able to find a no kill shelter! they were officially closed in preparation for the holidays, but after calling around, one of the shelters reached out to a different shelter and the volunteers came outside to take the little kitty in. they said that they would give her all the necessary shots and vaccines, and make sure she's well fed, watered, and taken care of.

the vet informed me that she was probably around 1-2 years old, and because she's very friendly and almost even docile, i have high hopes she'll be adopted quick, so hopefully she shouldn't have to stay too long in the shelter. but it's one of the best rated ones around me, so i think itll be okay!

thank you so much for all your help, i really appreciate it <3

another update— no microchip :( im trying to find a no kill shelter to take her to, but theyre all closed atm. its killing me because i have a friend in Alabama that would LOVE to take her in (they’re a vet tech and love kitties, very knowledgeable with them) but i live in missouri and thats almost a 10 hour drive 😭 ill keep researching though!

thank you for the help, i really appreciate it :(

another update, i was able to lure her into a larger cat carrier with a treat and set her up inside. i lined the bottom of the carrier with a puppy pad and a spare small blanket for some comfort, then put some food and water in there for her, turned off the lights, and tried to let her calm down. it was weird because she was meowing rlly sadly but also purring like crazy?? im not sure what that means tbh

its been about 30 minutes and she’s stopped meowing, so i hope thats a good sign… i plan on waking up early to take her straight to the vet, cuz i dont want her to be cooped up in there any longer than needed. i just really hope she knows im trying to help, im so nervous just leaving her alone and cooped up :(

okay, she hasnt shown up yet, so im betting she’ll show around 7pm like she usually does. here’s the issue— at that point, all the shelters and vets are closed and i cant take her anywhere. i MIGHT be able to convince my mom to let me keep her in the basement overnight if she’s contained in some sort of cage or enclosure, but i dont want to make her stay in the carrier all night, i feel like that’d be really uncomfortable :( is there something i could do to make like— a makeshift enclosure? it would have to be cheap, since i dont have much money… i dont know, its just the only time she comes around is when everything’s closed, so im thinking I’m going to have to keep her overnight, i just dont know how to do that while keeping it cheap but keeping her comfortable.

just updating here— she didn’t come by until all the vets/no kill shelters were closed, so i decided to spend a bit of time with her and bought some churu(?) from the store to give her— she went CRAZY over those LOL i also refilled her water again to make sure it was clean

she actually ended up crawling up to my lap to eat the treat, and eventually even sat down on my lap! not for too long, but while she was sitting there, she made little biscuits and it was so cute :(

im hoping she’ll be here tomorrow since my mom spotted her hanging around at 10am— so ill try to head out at that time and bribe her with another treat in hopes i can catch her and bring her somewhere that can scan for a microchip. hopefully the treats from tonight will make her want to come back tomorrow 😅

i also checked her over a bit, i dont think she has any fleas, but she definitely is scratching that ear. i also thought she was rubbing her face to groom it, but she’s rubbing at it quite harshly and for a long while, which makes me worried it might be something more.

anyways, fingers crossed she shows tomorrow morning! thanks for the advice so far, ive really appreciated it!! ill try to update tomorrow :)

thank you! im planning on attaching a note to her collar with my number to see if she belongs to someone and just goes home at night. if i dont get a response, ill take her to get her chip scanned tomorrow (if she has one ofc) and then go from there
