so i just found marinus in the adoption center.

on a related note, i am currently OBSESSED with david mitchell's books. guess who's a main character in the thousand autumns of jacob de zoet + the bone clocks???

MARINUS.

i am so ridiculously happy about this because he's such a weird character and this can go so many ways (do i fantasy a la bone clocks?? do i historical fiction a la thousand autumns?? what do i????)

i wanted a zentu and tbh he would make a really really good tea elephant i am so excited!! elixirs now pls or do i iris fenby idek i might iris fenby cause she's pretty neato

it's like 1 in the morning here and i am now very acutely aware of why i stayed up tonight and i am so unreasonably pleased with myself/the universe/everything, ever.

ANDANDAND not long ago i got to adopt laceling who i am still squealing over too much to actually do anything with yet but she will be a beautiful white bird (once i figure out which color + species works best with that) based off of a beautiful white bird i owned irl whose name was lace and i always called laceling!! so much happiness over these lil pixels, it's ridiculous and idc

also this evens out my pet slots again so double yay, 13 was bugging the heck outta my symmetrically oriented self

Marinus is a wonderful name, big congrats to you!

thank you so much! <3

Ooooo I think I've seen him in the Pound as well. Congrats on the snag, that's an awesome name! :D

Also, Laceling is a super adorable name and the meaning behind it makes it even prettier! <3

thank you! <3 i have no idea if he's ever been in there before or how long he was, he's just such a diverse, crazy character (although i mean most of david mitchell's characters could be described like that) and i'm really really excited! and thank you again about laceling! lace was pretty much the cutest bird ever, she'd sit in my lap like a cat, and i'm really happy to have found a name to make a cute little sorta tribute birdie! n-n
