Challenge #2

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

i can't believe i almost skipped this day, thinking i had nothing to talk about.
below, pets i've had and i would like to have, some rambling about neopets, and assigning pets to some of my otps.

huh, today i actually had a dream about my childhood dog last night. in a month, it will be two years since she passed away. if i start talking about her too much, i might get a bit down

so, let's look at the future instead. i'd love to have a cat. right now, i can't really have one of my family; they don't understand cats at all. they think they are emotionless and mean :( if they actually lived with one, they'd realize they aren't like that at all!! but i guess i'll just wait until i move out to adopt a kitty.
i also love hamsters! i had two russian dwarf hamsters, one as a kid and one as a teen. they were the cutest thing ever, probably my ideal pet. i'd love to have one again, but i want to make sure i can give it an proper setup: a large glass tank, igh quality food (not the cheap bags they sell here, where i've found bugs!!!), a san bath, and plenty of hides and toys.
in the meantime, i'll just keep watching hamster videos on youtube. i love those little furballs ughhh

okay, enough of real life!!!!
virtual pets!
i've always adored them. as a 2000s kid, i spent hours in neopets. i went through many accounts, and in every single one of them i had a lupe. other pets i've had were a kougra, a zafara, a skeith (i adopted one once then i felt guilty about not getting them on my next accounts, even when i didn't like them that much). though, in my last one, my favorite became the xweetok. i regreted so badly not having one before. just look at this cutie <3


the pets could also have petpets, their own pets. and the petpets could have pets TOO, buggy critters named petpetpets ...that was crazy. the doost speaks to me in a way i can't explain. silly doost... 

i remember there was this game about building an habitarium of petpetspets i adored. looking at pictures of it brings me so many memories. when they announced they would closed it i cried. oh, nostalgia is hitting hard.

assigning pets to a few of my opts because i can

• luchino and eli: they already have brooke, eli's owl. for sure, luchino would bring lizards and snakes. eli wouldn't refuse, he finds adorable how he talks to the geckos when feeding them as if they were his babies (they are). let's just hope brooke doesn't try to eat em...
• joseph and aesop: they're totally cat people. gatto made it canon! they would have 3-4 cats. all their friends are sick of them showing cat pictures every time they meet. OH they could even create an instagram account for them.
• tracy and violetta: a rabbit! violetta wanted one and tracy couldn't refuse. at first, she wasn't excited at all, like it kept interrumpting her while working, but soon she warmed up to it. seeing violetta snuggling with it made her meeeeeelttt.
• gyro and jhonny: aside form slow dancer and valkyrie, their horses, they could have a dog and a white mouse. the mouse is an obvious pick ofc. the dog is new!! it would be adopted, maybe without even planning to. johnny didn't know he needed a dog until he lived with one. after that, gyro has to make sure he doesn't spend all their money on it.
• aki and angel: they would NEVER have a pet. they don't have the energy or time. or maybe fishes? angel would be looking them swimming around at it for hours. meanwhile aki is the one making sure they have everything they need. 

haha that was fun. should i write a pet fic? i already added it to my to-do list.
