Reuben likes belly rubs

Hi, some days ago I've found this little hog and I just know people will love to see him.

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

This is Reuben's blog, or Jesse's pet blog, either works.

Here we'll have a bunch of cute pet "pictures", and gushing about little guys and maybe some raising tips (relevant to Minecraft, ofc)

please interact

Here's my blog's custom theme (won't work on mobile)

Under the cut there's a explanation and rules

★Mod Ghost

So, Here's Jesse's blog since they got Reuben, that's less than a year before the Endercon/ The WitherStorm according to the fact that Reuben is a teenage pig and everyone acts like he's a new thing.

Date system: counts days up from the day Jesse found Reuben on main posts (AKA: original posts)

Rules as follows

Be respectful

Don't mention Porkchops.

All of above can be ignored if it's funny enough. anything else will be deleted.

The specific Jesse in this blog is Blue Clip, It's not anything besides use She/Her

The only person working on this is ☆ Mod Ghost ☆ It is just trying a new name and wants people to know, Be nice :3

Hi, I'm back (u^-^)/

So I stopped drawing for a bit and i am getting back to it, and the blog, rn. warning I'll probably be posting only on the end of November since I don't have a drawing schedule currently. (working on it)

I want help with something though. If people would like to donate OCs or ideas for characters that would live on the Gang's pre WitherStorm town I'd appreciate so much

Up next on here it'll be a Harvest Festival. Jesse (And Reuben) will be working on the petting zoo, Olivia will be helping the blacksmithery stand and Axel will be helping the shepherds C: there'll also be stuff like a building, an swordsmanship, and a archery tournament. then the regular festival stuff and while i have Jesse's path written down, i really can't think if stuff happening in the bg, i could just wing it but what's the fun in that?

So, reply if you'd like to help me and ty for reading either way if you don't

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

So, does anyone knows the difference between coal and charcoal on the grand scheme of things, like one is a mineral and the othe is a biproduct of burning logs and can't be made into blocks but like? is there anything else?

Axel been trying to tell me for ehat fel sinci the whole night but it nothing with nothing

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

Hi, sorry it's been a while.

So, first things first, i'm not abandoning this project. like i've said in the other mod post, my life is life-ing.

CW vent.

my dog died the start of the month, he was 13 years old and stopped walking one week before we took him to the vet and they decided he was feeling too much pain and we agreed to take him down.

i'm also studying to try and get a job next year, when all the kids will be on school, then my older sister will move away on march.

there's also LOTS of things happening that i don't want to talk about and ruin the general vibe of the blog, i think i'll write on main.

I'm sorry it's been 3 months, it's hard to get in a good mood to make this blog light, i'm so tired all the time.

But i'll be taking requests, to practice and stuff if anyone want to see it, we could start with cute outfits for Reuben?

Me and Axel are going to sleepover at Olivia's (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)⁠—⁠☆

I'll try to braid his hair even if it's the last thing I'll ever do >:C

it's been a bit since we hung out besides for dinner or bumping into eachother through the day. i mean with me included, since they live IN town they sometimes go out together.

i already got Reuben's stuff ready and I'm omw when i post this.

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

The survey is going fine. we already have some worrisome data at face value, i can't talk about it before we're done analysing it, but we're going on a good rhythm, I'm sure i can do my part in time. And still have time to help with our thing for the harvest festival

Reuben's doing great, he's being as helpful as he can be. Today he wanted to play with the sheepdogs but left them alone, without me telling him to btw, when he noticed they were busy. i knew pigs were smart but it's still mind-blowing to see him just. being himself. I'm so proud of him

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

I'd like to report to my boss that my assistant is slacking off >:C

jk

This week we started to gather data on the farm animals of town. Other bigger places do this very often but the clinic does this every 5 years for research. If i got my numbers right a third of us is out doing this while the rest do the usual. i think i'll be done with my part in 3 days time

Reuben is helping, not getting in the way and playing with the other animals, that's way more than i would ever ask of him <3

i was wondering if i would need to find someone to pet-sit (Buddy-sit?) him this time. since i don't get as many breaks as i usually do with this work but seems i won't need to

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

We had coffee again (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

it was nice c:

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

I got so distracted, forgot to tell stuff about the river and the presentation hall.

The canal was made recently, idk when but i was very small then, our town is old. We discharge the sewers on it so the infrastructure is to support that.

8 years ago There was a designing competition to celebrate the tourism boom and the winner got their work build. The person who designed it just grabbed the 3 stack emerald prized and dipped before it was done.

The builders guild had to change the interior about 5 times before the inside was serviceable, everyone kinda hates it.

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

Thinking back on it, i think he was making fun of me when he offered to get coffee

though, It looked like he was going though something, the distraction might've be a good thing

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

I was trying to take a photo of Reuben and the river and Lukas bumped into me

He apologized and brought me coffee So i'm not upset.

Here's the photo anyway, some people might find it funny.

Under the cut is the picture unblured because i've spend too much time on the bg - ★Mod Ghost★

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

Just got back from the morning market c:

Reubs was a very polite and didn't stray away from me the whole time. he got a little distracted on the veggie stand but besides that he didn't mess with anything and such.

When i was leaving a lady stopped me and said the bucher tried to get Reuben a few times. I didn't notice. idk or care what he was onto but, come on! he's clearly a pet there's no feasible way for a pig to just wander into town. If i had noticed before i would've given him a black eye >:[

Maybe i should get him something to tell that he belongs to someone? Like a bandana or smt? I'll rest that thought for now though.

i got a bunch of stuff like fruit jellies, somethings to plant, wheat and stuff.

I'm making a LOT of bread for the week.

How's your day going?

I wish i could help you find Blinky. The different world thing is annoying :c

Bunnies do disappear a lot. It's just a thing they do, even if they know they give us heart attacks they just can't help themselves and explore more than we think they should.

I'm sure Lluna can help, if not by her sense of smell, idk about the treasure sniffing thing, then by Blinky's that while not as good as a dog's our cat's is also much stronger than our own.

One thing you should do though is warn any shelter or vet clinics around where you live for help.

There's also a change they might've captured her and is waiting for someone to pick her up. Usually they waif for about a week before start doing check-ups to put the animal to fostering or adoption but i don't live where you are to know if they're quicker with it or not.

I—uh—I didn’t even think about bunnies, like, just wandering off or disappearing or anything, ‘cause she’s never done it before, not even once! So yeah, you’re totally right about them being little chaos gremlins who give their owners heart attacks, because—yep, that’s me, currently panicking but trying not to panic. I should have watched where she was hopping but I got distracted and now I’m spiraling a bit because WHAT IF SHE’S HURT OR LOST OR—ugh, brain, please stop! Okay okay. Focus. Lluna. Right. I really hope she can help, like, I’ve never actually seen her sniff stuff out like a tracking dog or anything, so maybe she’s secretly a super-sniffer? I mean, if Stella tested her for that once she found her—or didn’t?? Wait, no, probably did. That feels like a Stella thing. Gosh, what if Lluna actually does find her? That’d be amazing! Llama detective arc unlocked. ... Ugh and I—I completely blanked on, like, actual helpful resources?? I didn’t even think about shelters or vet clinics in Champion City until just now. Classic me move: full anxiety mode after missing the obvious stuff. Brain.exe really needs a reboot sometimes, I swear… Anyway—uhh, thank you. Seriously. For helping. And giving advice and just like… listening? Even if I have no idea how to refer to you properly—sir? ma’am? interdimensional advice-giver??—thank you for being kind even though this is all wildly confusing and very… multiverse-y. I'll definitely go check the shelters and vet clinics before looking around of Champion City just in case she's somewhere around there...

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

Okay, Buddy, Breath.

Don't be so hard on yourself. This is a incredibly stressful situation. All the helpful stuff gets buried below the "OMG WHAT TO DO???WHERE TO LOOK?????" It's a normal human response and takes practice to know how to take a breath and get to it.

I work with my town's shelter and i know this stuff by heart. This stuff just happens, we can hardly go a full week without looking for any trouble maker pet.

Yesterday Gill lost his frog. Thing's slow and loud as heck. My collegues found him quick enough But it still somehow happened

Bunnies are stupid fast and silent if you don't know what to listen for. Even looking sometimes you lose them if they want to disappear.

You can't change the past, but you know what to do rn, and you know to watch out and it won't happen again. I'm sure of it.

She's fine.

[champion-city-intern]

…Y-yeah! You’re right, I—okay, okay, I need to breathe or else I’m just gonna keep spiraling and it’s gonna get worse and—right. Deep breaths. Got it. In... ...and out… Whew. Okay. Sorry, sorry—uh, and thank you. Really. I kinda needed that. The reassurance, I mean. I’ve been sorta feeling like I don’t really know who to go to right now. Petra’s out of the city doing… Petra things, and Stella’s super busy and I didn’t wanna bother her and… yeah. ... Um—can I ask something? What’s your name? S-Sorry if that’s weird or makes things awkward or uncomfortable! You totally don’t have to say if you don’t want to, obviously. I just got curious because... well, the only person I’ve ever known who had—well, has, or… I guess had a pet named Reuben was someone who uh... I- I'm kind of scared of. Ahem. I mean.. His name was Jesse. And the whole alternate universe thing is already a lot for my brain to handle, so now I’m wondering and overthinking and—yeah. That. {!} Radar is kind of anxious for the answer, but he doesn't really want to make any assumptions just yet.

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

I'm Miss, and soon to be Dr, Ferri

My buddy just has a Reuben face, idk if it's a rare name or not. there's not a lot of overlap in names around here so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Had any luck finding Blinky yet?

Hi sorry for the silence again.

There's a lot of really stressful stuff and changes going on in my life. I won't get into details. Now both my sisters are working so i have to take care of the nephews since morning till 5, my mom lost her job and all the problems that come with all that.

every time i sit by the computer i want to play games and stuff instead of drawing. I'm working on getting back into drawing and writing and being active online.

That being said. Immediately I'll be working on backdating the blog. I'm working with a timeline that between Jesse getting Reuben and the endercon was about 6 months and while i can adapt with a lot of stuff. This is something i refuse to drop.

Then to get back on track.

Hope you have a good day.

Kitties update!

They're all healthy and looks happy.

The owners decided to give them to our shelter by the time they are ready to part from momma, i would've hoped thought that they would try to give them away by themselves, but as far as i know, we have space for them.

Still, we have lots of pets ready for adoption already if you're interested in expanding your family with some furry, or not, friends.

There's 5 adult cats 10 domesticated wolves, 3 frogs and more just waiting here (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

just hop by the the terracotta building by the road heading towards the river, on the west side of town, and talk to us, we'd love to give our buddies some forever homes <3

[reubenlikesbellyrubs]

It's a nice day out.

Sup, it's been a while. So, I've been doing some stressing personal stuff and like i couldn't sit down and do stuff i need patience for. I won't elaborate on it because, really, really. personal, But the hard part is done. Also. Why this post looks different from the rest, i got bored of only green :D i may stick with this style for a bit, might change next post. idk. I just hope you're having a nice day. ★Mod Ghost ★
