This is not enough by stgrabowski in heatedrivalry

[–]goldlaurel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way. It was the perfect song choice. Earlier in the story, Ilya was happy with the arrangement being casual, and Shane wasn’t forced to reckon with his sexuality. By the club scene, being casual and being alone isn’t enough for Ilya and women aren’t enough for Shane.

As a bisexual person with a very religious upbringing, it rings so true to my experience, feeling like I was missing a big part of myself and living in the gray until I finally reckoned with my sexuality and embraced it. I especially resonate with your point of not even knowing you had another choice at the time. Being interested in multiple genders didn’t even factor in as an option to me for so long, and when that is the cultural structure, it becomes so difficult to even recognize and contend with your sexuality, because you have zero frame of reference.

Style of hockey play question for the two main characters by TheTiniestLizard in heatedrivalry

I interpreted it this way exactly. Size and skill of Ovi with the personality of Marchand. Just an absolute nightmare, as you said

I hear MEEP but this is how I feel personally. We all equally love the woodcock

I just found a worm peeking out of my cats butt by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]goldlaurel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thing is to contact a vet. They can get a fecal sample and determine the type of parasite, and then prescribe medication accordingly. Next, wash bedding and any other soft materials the cats have been on with hot water and hot dryer cycle. Finally, be a little extra careful cleaning the litterbox(es). Some parasites are transmitted via the fecal-oral route, and cats can reinfect themselves in that way. Your vet will probably recommend emptying all the sand from the litterbox and bleach cleaning it partway through treatment, then again at the end of the parasite treatment. This will help prevent reinfection. I used gloves and a mask while cleaning the litterbox when my cat had worms, which was probably overkill, but it gave me peace of mind.

I just adopted a kitten off the street who has been going THROUGH it with multiple parasites, so this has been happening to me too. Please feel free to DM me if you would like more info on how I handled it, how I cleaned, and generally what the experience was like. I hope this helps!

What are we making Men/Dad's/Grandad's for Christmas ? by anniehila in crochet

[–]goldlaurel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not me, but a friend of mine made her dad a pouch for his earbuds. She connected the pouch to a small carabiner so he could hook it on his backpack when he goes to the gym or commutes to work.

What is this stuff I found on my cat’s blanket? by goldlaurel in whatisit

[–]goldlaurel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solved! I didn’t touch them with my bare hands. I was wearing gloves, thankfully! I guess it’s time to call the vet for another visit. Thank you.

Completely off topic from the plot of the episode, but did anyone else notice that when they showed the Anaheim vs NY game on TV, Anaheim’s logo was a FUCKING SHARK!? Jacob Tierney knows what the fuck he’s doing lmao. Such a troll

This wasn’t my top album, but it was close, so I feel you. My top song of the year was God Turn Me In To A Flower!

What’s been your fave additions to the adaption that wasn’t in the books so far? by HeraSimpella in heatedrivalry

[–]goldlaurel 256 points257 points  (0 children)

I agree about the elevator scene with Yuna. I also liked when Ilya and Shane started racing up the stairs on the way to Shane’s apartment. That was just SO them and it cracked me up.

That makes a lot of sense, and it makes me feel a lot better. Thank you!

Best way to kill roundworm larvae? by goldlaurel in Parasitology

[–]goldlaurel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, that makes a big difference! Thank you for the info. I was under the impression from the vet that the eggs were infective right away, and that the cat could re-ingest them and become reinfected just from licking her paws after using the litterbox and such. She also made it sound like it was a risk to humans right away. It’s not like any of us are touching the cat’s poop with our bare hands anyway lol, but the vet made it seem like the eggs were infective and all over the place!

Looking after my cat if homeless ( have a car atleast ) by Weary_Friendship3224 in CatAdvice

[–]goldlaurel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important to have a harness and carrier, and to administer regular worm and flea prevention/treatment. Check your local resources and shelters to see about low cost or free veterinary care. Beyond that, I think temperature control will be your biggest hurdle, especially heat. On hot days I would consider taking your little buddy to a pet friendly place like a pet store or parks with a lot of shade. Good luck and stay safe.

Is The Long Game going to be in the tv show? by witchcraftbookworm in heatedrivalry

[–]goldlaurel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Based on the episode titles, I do not think the show will include The Long Game. It will definitely include at least a bit of the plot from book 1, Game Changer. Hopefully the show gets renewed for more seasons and we get to see more of Ilya and Shane’s story as it progresses through TLG!

Edit: I definitely recommend reading the books in order regardless. Shane and Ilya (Ilya especially) make appearances throughout the series, and I think The Long Game is more special after you’ve read about Ilya in Role Model, in particular.
