good timing especially because i was reminded yesterday of a pmd character i made but never got to rp
carbink who is very enthusiastic about being BAD and DOING CRIMES but is not so good at actually doing so
so leads the equivalent of a tough biker gang who menaces the population by helping your grandma across the street and then comes to your house to make fun of you for it but then immediately panics when you start crying and takes you out for ice cream to apologise
@InspectorCaracal they're hands-down one of my fav charities
the tuberculosis thing is newer, but the screening they can do is much, much, much quicker and cheaper, and they tend to only give false positives instead of false negatives - so tb can actually be eradicated from communities more easily.
also they have an emphasis on recruiting and training local people, so it's not just White People Are Here To Solve Your Problems o'clock lol, which i appreciate
@InspectorCaracal it's an african pouched rat!!
they're a little bigger than normal ratties, have cheek pouches, and the APOPO charity trains them to detect landmines!!! they're very quick and easy to train, they live about 7 years, and they're light enough that there's no chance they set off the landmines (unlike with some dogs). they can clear fields very quickly and efficiently!
APOPO is also teaching them to sniff out tuberculosis, too!!
@InspectorCaracal every 1-3 years is just a hell of a wringer to put yourself through. i did it through middle and high school and i loved my ratties immensely but holy shit, it's definitely a pace where as soon as you feel you've got your feet under you again WHAM HERE'S ANOTHER PET DEATH.
i mean i may be biased because the rattie i bonded with most out of the pair (or more) was fucking *always* the one to die young through nothing we could do, but, y'know
i mean the solution is to get one of these funky little fellows but iirc they are very much uncool on the domestic pet market in my area since there are problems with them becoming invasive in florida, and georgia's dnr laws are... Incredibly Stupidly Written right now
so i just donate to APOPO instead

just a bad post. just... bad. now on to major shb spoilers
i'd have included the exarch on here, but everyone knows the one true kink there is having tender, loving sex, probably while holding hands, wherein you see all the ways you can gently whisper his name on up to scream-moaning it to really drive g'raha into the best sort of orgasm: one delivered with a side of Loving Validation.
