All Jokes And Camp Aside, I Think Roy Is More An Uncle/big Brother To Rose And Grant Than A Dad.

All jokes and camp aside, I think Roy is more an uncle/big brother to Rose and Grant than a dad.

Very much there is a paternalistic dynamic- but that is not the same as being someone’s Dad, y’now? A lot of ppl’s stepdad ain’t their Dad.

My grandpa ain’t my Dad. My uncle half- raised me because I was the kid of a single mom and she trusted him enough to pay him like he was a daycare. HE ain’t my Dad, even if that relationship is no less profound.

Ooh he’d be so messy about it still. Best case scenario I see happening at that point in their relationship would probably be Alan tracking Todd down because Jennie or Al literally tells him they’re worried about him, and walks in on Ian being… well, Ian. INSTANT energy blast to the chest, which I’m not sure Todd would’ve responded well to 😬

Thinking about an AU where Alan somehow finds out about Ian and saves Todd before Milwaukee can even happen

Not to be a killjoy (though it is what I do best) but the unsafe and rough handling of a baby Pygmy hippo in a pretty substandard Thai zoo being meme-ed into something funny and cute really shows just how much groupthink plays into public perception of animal welfare.

Moo Deng shows avoidance, threat displays and stress around her keepers that are constantly man-handling her, blasting her with a hose and harassing her. The enclosure is mostly concrete, which is horrible for her soft feet. There looks to be some substrate but there doesn’t seem to be any areas for wallowing or deep water wading.

There’s also very easy access of this hippo to the public with no places to hide. I’d love if someone could shed more light on the enclosures but from what I’ve seen it’s not great.

Also the free contact and forcing into tubs that the keepers do is only going to create an avoidant and potentially aggressive and dangerous Pygmy hippo.

But the public happily overlook that because she’s cute. It’s a similar attitude with seals too.

Stop rewarding bad husbandry with clout. Baby animals deserve agency and respect and to grow up without getting harassed and feeling the need to defend themselves constantly.
