if you don't want it, release it or give/trade it to somebody

not exactly rocket science

[As much as Heather's grown attached to her beasties, she's never felt bad about giving away the ones she doesn't want. ... Little more iffy on releasing, but hey, if it could reasonably survive in the wild...]

Oh, believe me, I'm rather inclined to agree with you, and that line of thinking in general; I simply find it interesting how many aren't.

well if you're like leaving baby ones in the wild where they're probably gonna get eaten in two seconds that makes you a rancid dickstain

but apart from that, why not?

it's not like they'd be happy with somebody who didnt want them

[A rancid dickstain. That's...new.

...itp: everyone teaches Kimblee how to refer to people in the most obscene manner possible. He'll never actually utilize them, but my lord today has certainly been a lesson in putting vulgarities together in new and creative ways.]

An entirely fair point, if a bit of a vulgar one; at the same time, I do have to question why they would stay with someone like that in the first place. It can be argued that they're animals and so may not know any better, but their intelligence seems reasonably higher than, say, most dogs and cats.

...on average, anyway. I'm sure there are quite a few individual exceptions, but...

[Heather is a veritable goldmine of new and exciting ways to refer to someone using insulting and often-disgusting terminology.]

you could just as easily ask why humans stay with people who don't want them.

happens all the time.

Perhaps...but the reasons most commonly cited for such a thing are usually based in fear, while these creatures seem to stay through loyalty. As humans go, it's more difficult to receive devotion from them for no reason - either they have a reason to believe that they're wanted, or loyalty generally doesn't happen.

I dunno

plenty of people who dont deserve loyalty get it and its def. not always because of fear

[... Sometimes it was out of stupidity, sometimes it was just out of a desire to belong, to be wanted, to be part of something...]

[This kid has her roots in a cult, so the varying levels of psychological attachment are something she's somewhat well-versed in. Fear is part of it... but there's still so much more.]

I apologize if this is a sensitive topic for you, but I must ask - are you speaking through personal experience, or...?

[Apologies are much easier given through text; there's no tone betraying the fact that he's never really found a way to say that and make it sound sincere at all.]

not that sensitive

but yeah

[Actually, that's a lie, it IS pretty sensitive, but just statin' the facts isn't so bad.]

In that case, may I ask for details?

[Well, she's not gonna give DETAILS details, but.]

cults, manipulation

power, greed.

sometimes sticking around a figurehead or leader has nothing to do with affection

not makin assumptions about pokemon or whatever, im just sayin
