#cat/dog supremacy

Mammal bias is esp rampant in the pet community. I've had pet reptiles and spiders/tarantulas since I was about 10 and being told right to me face that the animals I cared for and cherished were gross and weird and some even "jokingly" staid they would gladly stomp on.
Nothing against dogs and cats but if you wouldn't say that about someone's dog or cat why would you say that to anyone who loves their pets?
Yup yup yup. Honestly, I've always known mammal bias was a thing, and when I majored in biology it was shoved down my throat, but I kind of figured its scope was limited or not really that damaging until I got my pet birds.
Apartments list themselves as pet friendly, but they only ever mean cats and dogs (and good luck trying to find ones that have other pets listed as okay online - same for temporary lodging)
Vets are usually only trained in cats and dogs, and it is impossible to find vets for other species close by - sometimes, at all - fish literally are done a major disservice alone
Homes and group living areas like townhouses, apartment buildings, etc. are not built with the safety of non-catdog pets in mind. How many have linked ventilation systems, which would endanger birds to emissions from other homes?
Service animals can only be dogs. Because dogs were literally bred to be our obedient servants. Never mind that other animals are more intelligent, and can also be trained. Just dogs.
Heck, cats and dogs even form a binary! Are you a cat lover or a dog lover? If you say neither, you get weird looks, and are accused of hating animals! Even though that's only two animals out of the billions!
And of course there's the death threats. Whether its someone threatening to kill someone's pet tarantula, to stomp on their snake, or eat their chicken, that just comes up again and again.
Cats and Dogs are elevated to essentially human status, because they are companion animals in our society and seen as part of the family. But no one can fathom that other pets are seen as family, too, that we'd like the same level of care and respect given to them.
like take this example: many people suggest eating non-cat/dog pets on the internet, and they're hardly ever called out or criticized. "It's just a joke!" and all that. Never mind these pets are beloved animals, and not actually a threat to anyone. Meanwhile, outdoor cats are actively causing ecological collapse. But if you suggest any form of aggressive population control - not of people's pets, of feral cats - you get called a monster. These aren't even beloved animals, just the *concept* of a cat is enough to make people lose their heads. this is a blatant double standard. an actively damaging double standard.
anyways if you want a non cat/dog pet remember to research vets and housing rules for your area before you accidentally screw yourself.
I would be remiss if I didn't add an afterthought that while small mammal pets and other mammals other than cats and dogs do have better vet treatment and some other benefits thanks to mammal bias, they often face similar struggles, and this hierarchy for pets really has cats and dogs on a pedestal lording over everyone else - including rabbits, hamsters, and especially mice and rats, and all other mammal pets as well as pets in other groups.
I hate cat-dog supremacy so much it sends me into a blind rage. Like, there isn't a 24-hr emergency vet for birds within three hours of me. I either have to drive that long or wait till my (hour away!) daytime vet opens up if I have an emergency. Birds can bleed out fast. This is just negligence. And there are so many animals, not only birds, that have been bred for captivity and rely on us. It is irresponsible and cruel that we designate them second-class pet...izens.
oof, you probably didn't expect this long of a ramble, I'll leave it off there.

to whoever asked me to write a chuuya’s morning and evening routine
okay I don’t usually write this kind of posts but I just wanted to say I’m sorry, I know I’m taking too long but … the past weeks have been a rollercoaster, had lots of depressive episodes (more than usual) and looking for a place to live and a job is not easy when you don’t have happy thoughts but soon I’ll move in an apartment so at least I think I’ll be less stressed then
but I want you to know that the morning’s routine is finished (for a while I must say) and I’m nearly done with the evening’s routine so don’t worry, I’ll post soon
and in conclusion, i hope you’re alright and have a nice day

Bsd pet headcanons pt. 2
Chuuya has two rescue dogs a Pitbull named Lady (she's missing a leg) and a Pomeranian named Kaiju (he's deaf).
These are some of the most spoiled animals to have walked the earth. Chuuya spends thousands on them monthly. They have collars made of precious metals and jewels. They eat like royalty and have every toy a dog could ask for. They literally have their own room.
Dazai hated them for weeks. He was jealous that they received so much of Chuuya's attention, and he already hated dogs. Jump forward a month and Chuuya comes home from a week long business trip/mission to find Dazai and the dogs sleeping in his bed. They're best friends now.

Over the mammal bias, there are also a "mammalian charismatic megafauna" bias I think. Every time I talk about pet rats for instance, at least where I live, 95% of times I need to add "no, they're not hamsters". Not only the species are different, but their temperament and care are very contrasted! I also cringe everytime i see ferret stuff in the "rodent" section, even online, when "small mammal" is right there. Sorry for derailing the topic, and have my non-charismatic megafauna and uncommon pet solidarity. I can only imagine how are things for parrots, probably even more tiring. Surely each parrot species have particular needs, smart as they are. Also I suspect rodent studies may benefit, in the sciences, from the mammalian bias, ofc.
You're absolutely right! The hierarchies never end, and certain mammals are prioritized over others. Even when it comes to housing, people with dogs and cats can usually find something, but the rest of us are shit out of luck. Dogs, Cats, and Horses are kind of "honorary humans" where the hierarchy puts them at the second tier under human beings (and sometimes even above human beings - lets face it, white people prioritize their dogs, cats, and/or horses over POC (esp Black POC) every damn day). It's absolute madness.

⏤͟͟͞͞☆Dating Kenny HCS|| Reader x Kenny McCormick
Tumblr media
✰ - SFW & NSFW - ✰
Plot: Just sum HCS!
Note: I love Kenny McCormick so fucking much he's so pookie smookie, also first post yippee!
TW: Drugs, death bcs of drugs (its Kenny he comes back-), incest ment (concerning rats), smut HCS at the end
Gender: AFAB Gen neutral
Tumblr media
✰ - SFW - ✰
FLIRTS NONSTOP. all day every day, he just doesn't fucking stop. But the moment you flirt back.
Bro is dead, 6 feet under, giggling and kicking his feet
Has trouble falling asleep and sometimes you'll wake up and he'll be just staring at you
"Kenny what the fuck are you doing... "
"You're so pretty... Can I not stare at my partner in the middle of the night!? :(("
Demands you cuddle him to sleep
Did I mention touchy?
Yea
Super fucking touchy
Literally has to be touching you all the time as if you we're his phone in his pocket or he'll freak out
Actually learned the value of life once you stepped in. He's died only once.
Why you ask? In his words
"I can NOT just say no to free drugs"
Drugs in question were something called... Crazy 8...basically 8 fucking drugs mixed together.
Yea he wasn't gonna survive.
Now you have to keep an eye on him, and tell him to just stick with weed
Oh yeah weed
Bro is toasted most of the time.
AND reeks of weed 24/7
Anytime you smell weed the first thought that pops into your head is, "where's Kenny? "
Basically weed is a comforting smell to you now 💀
Asked you to get high with him
You were reluctant at first but then you tried it... Let's just say it's a common occurrence now
You think he's flirty when he's sober? When he's high omfg.
Compliments like crazy, and can actually take compliments back when he's high
You adore high Kenny because he literally turns into the silliest mf alive
Super duper touchy when you're both high, like on top of each other the whole time
Piercings out the wazoo
Tattoos to come...
You let him shower at your place so he actually became CLEAN once you started dating.
Like his hair is actually touchable now, and not greasy
He's still a rat boy tho, and does dirty rat boy things
Actually HAS rats
You came over one time and he introduced you to his ratty children
"This is Frankie, and Frankie Jr, and Frankie Jr Jr, and that's Maggy, and Rosie and- FRANKLIN JR GET OFF YOUR SISTER RIGHT NOW! >:("
"Um, Ken... I don't know how to tell you this but rats dont care about incest..."
Almost cried, "it's like medieval Spain all over again... "
You pat his back, "it never gets easier... " you sighed dramatically
Loves animals, you guys wanna get a dog and cat together!
He loves you and adores you so much
He thinks you're the best person to ever come out of this cruel world, and he tells you that all the time
You also love him. So much. You think he's the prettiest, sweetest boy
You tell him that most of the time when you think he's asleep, he usually isn't because he loves hearing it
Back to the weed thing, LOVES when u guys order McDonald's when ur both high and have the munchies
Bro can throw down 2 big macs, 1 double quarter pounder, 20 piece chicken nuggets, and 2 orders of large fries and still be like
"I need something sweet... " 💀
Anytime you're out with your friends, Kenny's usually wearing his parka and you're the only one who can understand Kennish
Also holding hands the whole time
It took you awhile to get used to the fact you had a super clingy partner but you got used to it
You guys were able to get a place together eventually after high school
It's super shitty but it's home <3
You'll eventually upgrade after grueling work and endless shifts
But you definitely make time for each other
Tumblr media
✰ - NSFW - ✰
(The fun begins *rubs hands evily together*)
SWITCH KENNY SUPREMACY!!! Literally does not mind either, as long as he's with you and he's naked? And you're naked? Bros chilling
Fucking loves oral, receiving and giving
First time he ate you out, you were on cloud mf 9, seeing stars n shit
He LOVES your thighs, like before he eats you out he just likes kissing and squeezing your thighs
HOWEVER. The first time you sucked him off. Omg, HIS thighs were MESMERIZING.
Something about boys thighs... Just seeing them pushed together, your fucking weakness.
His thighs are pale and ever so slightly plushy... Help me
KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH HIS MF HANDS‼️
He grabs you and stimulates you in the best fucking spots
LOVES COCKWARMING. NEED I SAY LESS.
You guys will just be chilling watching a movie, and he'll just go like
"Babeeeee... " that's literally all he needs to say bcs you know what he wants.
After some time of just being on his dick it kinda hits you, "I'm on his cock, I could literally do what ever I want... " you think, evily
You'll shift your body around to where you're looking at him and he already knows what's coming, his hands are IMMEDIATELY on your hips
And you start slowly bouncing up and down
Doesn't take him long to start making noises
He's very vocal during sex, he sees no point in staying silent
Plus the first time he moaned super loud during sex you literally came on the spot.
Now he can't help but moan and whimper when you're on top of him because he knows you love it
AFTERCARE KINGG
Usually urges you two to take a shower after sex
Sometimes ends up into shower sex if the both of you still have the energy
You bought a shower stool so you both could fuck in the shower because one time he almost slipped and will NEVER live it down
"IT WAS SUPER SLIPPERY OKAY"
"You stepped on the soap babe... You almost went flying"
Yea a shower stool and those mats for the shower floor

Hazbin Hotel||Alastor X Reader||Jealousy In Hell? Part 2.
Tumblr media
Notice how she is not disturbing the cat who's occupied half the bed? Cat Supremacy. Although dogs are more affectionate.
Tumblr media
What does his huge smile say now?
"I don't get nightmares, my dear, in fact, I give them to other people." He once on those days where he comforted you, he whispered.
You never told him, but you are not used to being around deranged, misanthropic people. So, Alastor gave you nightmares as well.
Two days back he found you curled up after coming from a night out crying, and you refused to open up to him which made him worried because you were very open about letting people know how you feel at the moment.
"You are a mess, my dear, care to shed some light on what happened?" Alastor asked, stroking your hair, but all he got was angry sobs and angry punches.
So instead of stressing you out more he put you to sleep, to just let you forget the pain a little.
He stretched his staff thing when Mr. Petenious's egg friends were joyfully walking out, they instantly huddled together.
"What Boss, do you know our boss--"
"Wait which boss are you talking about Mike!" One egg said,
"Wait we have names; do you know we might have acid rain!" One egg screamed,
"Oh, Shit! will our eggshells crack open? Oh god!"
Alastor's eye twitched, "Yeah, about that so when you went to the club what happened to Y/n?"
"Uh she was so happy, with Angel and Charlie then she went somewhere saying it was very stuffy inside."
"Uh, Mike went with her too!" One egg said,
"We don't have names, right?" The one named Mike said,
"Uh after that," Alastor said cutting the banter he found too noisy for his liking.
"She didn't come back after that boss."
"Yeah, Y/n always comes back.'
"She did say that the night was really bad!"
He tried finding out more, but it was absolutely hopeless with those egg creatures. At this point, he couldn't tell if what they were telling were anything more than lies.
His best bet could have been to ask you. But you were resting and if possible, he would like to tear a soul and broadcast it of course, it had to be the right soul.
So, one of those nights, when you had just slipped into your nightwear, he comes in Suddenly, and quickly drags you outside, "Alastor- What-where are you taking me?"
You were teleported outside the cold wind, in some abandoned city. "Alastor, I'm not even dressed properly!" You said in a hushed tone.
"What's that my dear you are cold?" Alastor said, "Here you can take my coat.
Now, that his coat fits you more like robes because of the height, it also blocks out the cold. "Your coat is nice Alastor; it actually suits you!" You said taking some time to admire the coat.
You then looked at him abandoning that brief excitement you asked him again, "Alastor where are we going?"
"My dear, that night you had gone out some sinners dared touch you, and although I'm not too much for physical touch and all you must enlighten me about the perpetrator!"
"Alastor..." You sighed heavily. "I know I'm in hell by choice because a perfect afterlife should involve the people I care about, and I don't have any relatives, or parents I know so... just drop it okay?"
"And what if that happens again?" Alastor whispered, "I only need you to tell me who it is, and I'll take your revenge."
"Alastor it's not one sinner they are like a gang, who exploit people's souls to other powerful overlords who pay them a lot. They got really drunk and found me of everyone..." You didn't continue after that, But Alastor's eyes only grew more intense and darker.
"Do you know who they were?"
You slowly nodded, "Well isn't that great? You just made my work so many times easier now instead of those little egg things."
Alastor said that was enough for the day and he retired you to your bedroom, you asked him if you could give him his coat by the morning, and he just waved his hand in a yes manner.
Two weeks later, you woke up to excited voices in front of your door, they were loud and broke the peaceful morning when your door burst open, and Charlie ran inside.
"OH MY GOD!" OH MY GOD!" "OKAY, I NEED TO BREATHE, BREATHE." Charlie slapped herself,
"Angel! he has something to show you, EVEN ALASTOR'S THERE!"
"Guys calm down what's the ruckus about?"
"Charlie let Y/n at least take a breather, but yeah Y/n this is messed up."
"Messed up in a cool way." Angel corrected.
You had gone downstairs where you saw Alastor smiling more than he usually did,
You grabbed Alastor, he came as though he was anticipating the reaction.
"Whatever the matter my dear."
"Alastor, please don't tell me it's about that case!"
"It's not one dear, I broadcasted the entire gang." Alastor put his hand on your cheek. "Did you really think some petty sinners would really scare me?"
Then Alastor looked at you, "I was a bit startled when you told me that they were dealing with overlords, those chumps could only dream about it, what right now it matters is they are gone. So, take it easy."
You breathed in relief before you felt yourself getting lightheaded and slipped into his arms.
"My dear, how very scared were you? It could've been solved so much earlier if you opened your mouth.

Hi for the petty tik tok arguments
Who’s Soccer team is the best
Scotland v England supremacy (mostly in jest)
Favourite lollies/chocolates
Cats v Dogs
The best explosion/firework/explosive material
Best colour (black isn’t a colour ghost)
Are skulls actually cool
Is Haggis a biohazard/torture technique
Favourite Gun
these are all so good lol. they’ve honestly probably gone through every single one of these arguments at some point but i think the one that kicked it off would probably be one of the more technical ones because then there’s a reason for a fight to be picked. but from there on it’s all meaningless—they just have a need to “hate” flirt with each other
