God help me, I have my eye on rescuing a Tezcatlipoca-Quetzalcoatl pair that are pack-bonded by some ungodly miracle. I can't just leave them in that shelter... I have a Jaguar Warrior at home and- Help my heart is so soft... I'm going to have to bring them home!

Bring them home, anon!! If you have space and are already attached, it sounds like a wonderful idea, and in particular will guarantee that they don't get separated or adopted by a Master less understanding of their needs.

Or at least, I'd like to hope that someone who already has a Jaguar would be aware of the basics!

My only warning is to make sure that you have a good deal of open space and put anything particularly fragile or valuable somewhere they can't typically access, not because they are prone to stealing, but because they are prone to healthy sibling fights which can easily break household objects.

HELP my neighbor just adopted a Holmes and now my old Moriarty that I had for years won't stop acting up!! I'm fairly sure he's plotting something despite him swearing up and down he isnt, any advice is appreciated!

This is a situation that a lot of Servant owners can get worried about, but is surprisingly actually very safe!

Both Holmeses and Moriarti have natural plotting tendencies, especially when set up near each other or especially against each other, but without an active incentive for either to make the first move, it's simply something that will keep them entertained with hypotheticals and provide enrichment for the both of them!

In my experience the best option is to trust the Moriarty and just try to maintain your normal routine, don't actively try to engage with the Holmes at all is the big one. If they never actually meet, things will likely remain benign. You may want to go over and talk to just your neighbor about the situation so they know as well!

If you start to get worried that things might not be working out, adopting a Fran is typically a good way to mellow out most Moriarti, as it makes them prioritize parental instincts over their criminal mastermind ones.

Is it normal for servants to try their master's interests? See, I'm goth and emo, even dressing up and styling my hair and lately my Salieri, Mozart, Count of Monte Cristo, Jalter, Ereshkigal, Vlad (berserker), Carmilla and even my Shi Huang Di are trying to dress up goth and emo and listen to the bands I usually enjoy

If you have a positive relationship with your Servants, it's absolutely normal to start being into more of the same things! (For both the Master and Servant, tbh.) I think this particular situation is actually super normal, even, as all of those Servants have what I'd consider a pretty natural proclivity for that particular style! While many wouldn't expect their Moth Emperor of it, they're often willing to try out anything interesting an flamboyant enough. (There are several drag queens I've met with wonderful Shi Huang Dis.)

Out of curiosity, how many questions from masters are sitting in your inbox right now? With so many varieties of servants, I imagine there’s a fair few.

We try to get to things as quick as we can, but we are sitting at around 45 asks right now! We are always open for more, of course, but we can't make any guarantees about how quickly anything will get answered, unfortunately--

Sorry, I think one of my foster Jalters just got her hands on the matches again.

My Mozart went through my albums and now he listens to stuff like Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Rites of Spring, The Used and Saosin. I think I may have fucked up...

No, that sounds like normal Mozart behavior, sorry to say, Anon. Mozarts I foster usually end up addicted to Britney Spears and video game OSTs.

See if you can get yours to read My Immortal, I want to hear that story.

So recently, my Mash and I came back from a trip to Britain. When we got back, I noticed there was a small creature that seems to be following her around. Mash claims it’s a cat, but last I checked, cats aren’t pink. Or bipedal. Any idea what they could be?

Congrats on your new Habetrot, Anon! She’s probably bonded with your Mash as her newest bride. Habbycats have a natural tendency to seek out and devote themselves to the happiness of future brides, which in turn brings them fulfillment as fairies. They’re sooooooo cute and good, I love Habetrots….Please consider accepting her into your household if you’re able to do so! You won’t regret it.

Do you have any tips for someone who has trouble with mosquitos in summer but owns an Oberon? I've tried to just deal with it but its been getting worse and worse, and I don't know ways to deter them that won't also mess with Oberon-are there any mosquito candles that are Oberon-safe?

Ooh, tricky problem. Is your Oberon fully matured and grown into his adult temperament? If so, you do need to worry about him just knocking the candle over to cause problems on purpose. If not...

Oberons CAN be attracted to candles, just like they’re sometimes attracted to lanterns and light-posts. This is a particular problem when they’ve got the zoomies and want to fly around for exercise. You could put the candle underneath a glass, but it’s possible that an Oberon who has assumed their miniature form will slam into the glass and break his wings, making this a slightly risky solution unless you pair the set-up with safety nets to catch him.

Or, if you're willing to put in some more effort, get an Edison to help out around the house!

Edison-Servants, once properly nourished, come with bug-zappers attached to their shoulders. Just stand one outside and let him work his magic! A properly functioning Edison should naturally keep your Oberon from flying into him, but if an accident happens, your Oberon was probably not really suited to being alive anyway.

An Edison will need a work area to keep him happy, of course, but the benefits far outweigh any disadvantages. In fact, I suggest everyone get an Edison for their home. Any problem you have, Edison will fix with direct current!

If you lock your Dantes up in its Chateau D’If every time you leave the house you’ll literally drive it insane fyi. I shouldn’t even have to say it but like- lmao there do be some inexperienced ass masters out there

True! You should maybe consider letting him loose on a local coffeeshop, or perhaps a library. Maybe a dispensary if you’re really out of options.

Sooo I have a Mori Nagayoshi, he's a sweetheart he brings me gifts like freshly made tea and also severed heads. I don't really like tea but I'm afraid if I don't except the tea he'll bring me even more heads. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I'm not sure what the problem is here? You're getting free severed heads! Have you run out of things to do with them? Try Pinterest for some neat craft ideas.

If they're really piling up though, I suggest making friends with someone who owns a Barghest! Barghests have incredibly huge appetites, so I'm sure any Barghest owner would be delighted to have a supply of fresh, organic severed heads to satiate their servant with. ~ Mod Foreigner

DO! NOT! GET! A! RIDER! IF! YOU! CAN’T! LET! IT! ROAM! Riders need lots of room!! They are not apartment Servants!!!

They can be apartment Servants if you get into the conquering groove. Challenge your landlord! Stake your claim on their territory! What you don’t have, you can take, if you have the will to do so!

Don’t let your dreams be memes, everyone, attack your neighbors today!

I mean……. I guess……… if you WANT to solve things in a peaceful way………….

Being serious, some Riders needs will be filled more with a treadmill than others. Carmilla in her Rider attire, for examples NEEDS to be taken on drives, or she’ll become extremely agitated and channel her impulses into even more grandiose acts of thievery. Kintoki is much the same way in his Rider form, needing to “bond with his Golden Bear” to be emotionally satisfied. Iskander needs a pasture to roam in, there’s no two ways around it, in addition to destroying your landlord and taking their property as his own.

Medb, however, has physical needs that can be satisfied with a treadmill — ideally in that case, a treadmill at the gym, as Medb’s are very social and wish to form relationships with ‘good looking braves.’ The Georgios breed can be satisfied with a treadmill and some outdoor walks for enrichment, and actually takes very well to being leashed, so they’re good for urban environments. Ivan, if you have a set-up that can handle his weight limit, will also be happy with a treadmill for exercise, as long as he has a nice place to nap afterwards.

PUTTING STUPID COSTUMES ON YOUR SERVANT THAT CHANGE THEIR CLASS IS JUST SO FUCKED UP!!!! Who even does that to their servant?!?

Tell me, anonymous voice in my ear, who hurt you? Why do you hate fun? The true joy of the Master is dressing their charges in fun outfits that enhance their potential to murder. Have you never wanted to see your Servant frolic with their companions at the beach? Have you never wanted them to manifest as the most broken Arts looper known to man?

There’s a company that produces costumes which allow Ushiwaka to form gay polycules and sing. Is this not what our forefathers died for?
