Challenge 2
Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Also, feel free to entice engagement by giving us a preview of what your post covers.

And please do check out the comments for all the awesome participants of the challenge and visit their journals/challenge responses to comment on their posts and cheer them on.

And just as a reminder: this is a low pressure, fun challenge. If you aren't comfortable doing a particular challenge, then don't. We aren't keeping track of who does what.

Actual pets
I'm more of a cat person than a dog person.
I do have a cat. Her name is Cass, and shortly after I moved into this house (sometime during COVID) she was hanging around as the previous owners might have abandoned her. Therefore the mutual adoption occurred.

Fandom pets
Not an exhaustive list.

Daria
No canon pets in Daria, but I did write a ficlet about Daria having an unexpected pet.

An unexpected friend; of the Aquatic Variety
Jane followed Daria into her room. It was exactly as she had described it, with padding on the walls and bars in the windows. "Wow," she said. She took it in. A poster of a half-unearthed skeleton, a plain bed, a television on a trolly, models of a heart and a slice of cheese, another televison on a ceiling mount and a bookshelf with a computer set-up. Not to mention a Kafka poster. However, between the computer and the books was a small aquarium.
Jane went over to the aquarium and looked in it. It was unlike any other pet fish that she had seen before. "What sort of fish is this?" she asked.

"Talon, he's a Siamese fighting fish," Daria replied.

"Fighting Fish, huh? That's different."

"Definitely different to Quinn's goldfish, that's for sure," Daria said as she opened a box of food.

Jane chuckled.


Doctor Who
Does K9 count?

How to Train Your Dragon
Toothless (and the other trained dragons); enough said. Hiccup's interactions with him are the core of the movies (both the animated series and the remake)
I have started to write Dragons fic.

Kim Possible
Rufus being an equal part of the team with Kim and Ron.

Pokemon
Mostly various parts of the anime. But some of the games to.
(Especially Ash and his Pikachu)

Scooby Doo
Scooby and his support for Shaggy.
(Also have started to write Scooby Doo fic, not just the crossover with Daria.)

Star Trek: The Animated Series
The scene in Yesteryear with young Spock and I-Chaya.

Star Trek: The Next Generation
Data has his pet cat Spot, which makes for interesting storylines.

Star Trek: Enterprise
Porthos, Captain Archer's beagle

Superman
Krypto in the most recent movie was depicted very well.

Excerpt from: An Aquatic Second Contact
“Launch another probe,” Shax ordered.

“Aye.”


Eali Toromi Station
Mariner had watched the video from Martok a third time when Shax’s report came in.

“Cerritos to Captain Freeman. A blip that may be the rogue ship has been detected at the L4 point of the next planet out.”

“Understood, keep alert,” Freeman ordered. She looked to Ma’ah and he nodded.


“Share the data with the Che’Ta, Freeman out.”

“Acknowledged, Cerritos out.”

Excerpt from: Daria and Change
“Can I come to? I mean if we’re still together?” A blonde cheerleader asked.

“Ahh, Brittany! Can you guess which war we fought against the Mexicans over Manifest Destiny?”

Brittany concentrated. “Um, no!”

“Please try, Brittany!”

Brittany then said something that just made the teacher more aggravated.
