the ones at the walmart i work at are never fed or changed water. i buy food to feed the m and change their water, regardless if managers want it done

The ones at the Walmart by my house are in about an inch and a half of water and then they have a sign next to them that says “please don’t feed or change the water” because apparently its so bad that customers try to take care of them. 

The store I used to work at had great managers for a while, but then they got replaced by shit heads and I quit within about a month and a half and we’d had more animals die in that time than in the entire year before. If you’ve never seen someone let a husky ‘play’ with a ferret count your lucky stars because I had to go in the bathroom and cry. 

I’m pretty sure the reason a bunch of my fish died is because of something that came home from the pet store, also, last time I tried to return some neon tetras that died THE NIGHT I TOOK THEM HOME the manager had the nerve to say that the tank I put them in was “too small” ITS BIGGER THAN THE ONE THEY’RE IN AT YOUR STORE.

tl;dr someone needs to start a therapy group for people who worked at stores that sell animals and fish.

“please don’t leave me alone.”

“I’m here, Tyelka. I’m not going to leave you. Ever.”

‘I licked it, so it’s mine’

The Maia frowned as he turned to the side to face his elf, a confused smile on his face. “Did you just lick me?”

A blow to the head had taken him by surprise, not to mention sudden darkness. How much time had passed, he could not say. However, Tyelkormo was well aware that he was not in his cousin’s realm, nor was he familiar with the chains that circled themselves around his wrists. His lips curled at the thought of being so blindsided by the elleth’s beauty that he missed her intent to free herself of him. Obviously she intended to have some punishment had for her kidnapping.

“How long are you to stay in the shadows, Princess?” His voice was smooth like honey, anger lurking beneath it. “I know you are there.”

She’d waited, bided her time, and thanks to a stroke of luck she’d not only been able to overtake her captor but she’d managed to take him back to Doriath and was now caught between decisions. Punishment should fit the crime, to be sure, yet at the same time there was always the concept of retaliation which may come back from his remaining kin...

Having stayed relatively close by during his capture, she was not surprised to hear him speak, a raised brow and a cold look on her face as she stepped away from the wall and came a little closer. “You’ve been asleep for some time.” she commented simply, though her voice was laced with a subtle venom. “I was merely waiting for you to waken... hir vuin.”

Part of That World

Part of That World - Beleg is a mer-person, who rescues Celegorm, a sailor, from a shipwreck.

@hasty-riser

There was blood in the water. Its scent was sharp, making Beleg crinkle his nose in disgust even as he swam towards it, driven by curiosity. The others had told him to stay away, that it was probably another human battle and he would end up dead or worse. But when did Beleg ever listen to them?

The flailing of a figure in the water drew his attention and he sped over, studying the human with a frown. They seemed to need some help - so he grabbed them by the arm and dragged them towards his cove, ignoring their struggling. Ingrate.

Nienor gazed down at that green grass and verdant wood every morning, and the clouds and blue sky in the afternoon, and the sparkling stars up above every evening. What a lonely existence it was, up in her tower above the world, always looking down and wondering, hopping someone would come and see her hanging out her window- or hear her singing to her self-- and learn her plight and take her away from here. Morgoth had held her in the tower for years- since she was a girl, ripped away from her family by his greedy hands. For what reason, she did not know, but one day she’d find out, and she’d find her family. 

This day started as any other; the blonde woke and fixed her long train of curls, brushing and taming them as best she could before tiding up. She swept and plucked seed from the branches that hung close to one of her windows to feed her bird friends. All the while she sang- the only song she knew, or could remember from the time before she was stolen and locked away. 

Humming softly now, Ninenor leaned out of her window as far as she could, plucking grapes from the many tangle of vines that clung to the side of her tower-- until an unfamiliar sound broke the usually peaceful silence. She almost fell from her spot then, startled but curious as the whinnying was soon accompanied by the heavy falls of horses hooves. The blonde watched the tree line eagerly, waiting for the source of the din to emerge...

“Are you excited?”

Pregnancy sentence starters

Laurelin smiled, leaning back in the chair and placing a hand over her growing belly. She was not too far along - only about four months - but the bump was large enough now to be obvious. “Aye,” she nodded, looking up at her older brother. “We both are, though perhaps a bit nervous since we have not raised children before. I can only hope things go well, for Gil-galad’s sake. He is more nervous than I am!”

She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, laughing half-heartedly. “I know you may not have children of your own, Tyelko, but you did have more younger siblings than I did, so do you have any advice you could offer me?”

Did someone say 'treat'?

Mairon held the leather collar in his hands, turning it about in thought. One of the saddles had made it to his specifications and added the iron ornaments to it that Mairon himself had made. It was a present for his elf, one he hadn’t been sure Celegorm would appreciate. Not until a few nights ago he had been too exhausted to eat by himself and Mairon had fed him by hand like he usually did with his wolves.

He got up from the anvil and made his way to their chambers. After that night they hadn’t done anything, apart from a little touching in the pool. Once he reached their chambers he placed the collar on the end of the bed, then a note next to it reading “This is for you. Let me see if it fits and wait for me in an appropriate way.” Then he left again, first for the stables and then for the kitchen, gathering several things he would need.
