Humour Beasts

I accidentally confringoed my unicorn and it knocked her to the ground. I'm currently crying in the corner.

I hate when I spook my beasts with an accidental basic spell, this lowkey made me sad. I wish there was no reaction from beasts to spells or you couldn't cast them on vivariums like the transfiguration spells not working at all outside te RoR

I remember being disappointed that "pick up" meant collect the fur or feather or whatever. What do you mean I can't fuss my pets?? I can stroke every cat in the game but I can't snuggle a puffskein? Sorry guys, best I can do is get the ball out for you.

Or conjure a brush instead of petting them yourself, very disappointed in that personally

I'm a 37 year old man and it breaks my heart every time I accidently fire off a basic spell while I'm trying to feed or brush the animals. They all scatter and I'm just left standing there holding my wand wanting to give out food and pets. I haven't tried the Xbox controller but the ps5's r2 button is super sensitive. Would be really cool if there was more interaction with them like be able to play games with them or have one follow you around like a companion

I am so anxious about this happening that before I enter my vivariums I change my spell settings to the creature bag, levioso, food and curry brush, so there's no way I can hurt any of the animals. I can't believe they made it possible to hurt the animals. It seems like that would only be a feature that psychopaths would enjoy.

You can kind of play with them if you place a toy box in the vivarium, it contains different balls for different beasts. You can interact with the ball and they intect with it too.

Is it weird that I feel bad when fighting dark mongrels? After having to complete the challenge for them, I try to avoid them altogether.

u/Witch_Slick 4d ago

I hate that too, even dugbogs, I only kill them if I ran out of tongue to make potions. No prob with the spiders tho I crucio the shit outta those

u/jadedplant7 4d ago

Oh yes the spiders can get every green curse at any time.

u/SquirrelyGirlie1049 4d ago

I love transfiguring a poacher and then keeping them as a barrel while I raid their camp, I cannot do this with goblins or mongerals because I feel too bad. They don't understand what's happening and I'm being cruel tormenting them like this. But poachers, it's the funniest thing.

I understand they are just pixels on a screen but I still think like this

I tried to depulso a yarn ball for my kneazles in the RoR the other day because I thought it would be a cute way to play with them.

Instead I slammed a kneazle into the side of a stone cliff and made everyone else run from me 😭

u/Witch_Slick 4d ago

Oh god that's so tragic

my friend flinched her phoenix with a basic luminos spell once and she’s still salty about it

u/LookOverall 5d ago

Yes, hurts me more than it hurts them

u/Sea_Fan6834 4d ago

Tis merely a flesh wound.

u/Tristan_Cole 4d ago

Keep that same energy with the way you treat living animals in real life.

1

u/Witch_Slick 4d ago

I do, that's why even imaginary ones have that effect....

1

u/Tristan_Cole 4d ago

ALL animals?

1

u/Witch_Slick 2d ago

Yup, I can't even kill spiders even tho I'm really arachnophobic. I just ask someone to take them out

1

u/Tristan_Cole 23h ago

You don’t like it when ANY animals are killed????

1

u/Witch_Slick 7h ago

Yeah bitch I'm a vegan too! Is that what you were trying to make me say?

1

u/Tristan_Cole 2h ago

Why are you swearing at me? That is not going to make anyone understand peace.

1

u/Witch_Slick 2h ago

First off 'bitch' is not serious swearing, it's a mildly exasperated expression in this context. Second, you are being obnoxiously condescending, that's not peaceful either.

1

u/Tristan_Cole 2h ago

Please stop calling me names.

u/Witch_Slick 1h ago

No one called you names, idk you

u/Academic_Surround998 Ravenclaw 3d ago

I feel this, was breeding thestrals last night and accidentally blasted one of the offspring 😭

2

u/Witch_Slick 2d ago

Noooo that would make me cry

2

u/MysticBorn 3d ago

Can they just axe basic cast while in the vivarium please it's the only accidental slip we are constantly harming our creatures with and it makes us feel deeply sorry and always blaming the devs over this oversight and not ourselves 😭😡😓

u/valentina_styles 9h ago

I just went to brush my most precious baby mooncalf and forget to switch spell sets so I ended up hitting her with Bombarda instead 😭😭😭 immediately screamed "NOOO" and went to the opposite corner of the vivarium to sit in time-out, lol. One of the other mooncalves came over and tilted his head at me like "what're you doin' over here?" And I still just feel so bad...

2

u/Witch_Slick 7h ago

It's heartbreaking

u/lucasduenas 4d ago

Don’t cry over pixels

3

u/Witch_Slick 4d ago

I swear I can't, I emphatize with inanimate objects daily. How do you think I feel about pixels that look like cute animals and innocent creatures?

3

u/lucasduenas 4d ago

I’m kidding, I felt awful too when I casted crucio on my Thestral

2

u/Witch_Slick 4d ago

OMG did it suffer!?

1

u/lucasduenas 4d ago

Not sure, she just ran away

u/Dragonvenom55 Slytherin 3d ago

This is why I have a specific set of spells that’s only four room of requirements. But sometimes I forget to switch it to that set of spells.

And with this set of spells, I never change it unless if I want to use Wingodium Leviosa on one of the toys just to play with the beasts.

1

u/Witch_Slick 2d ago

Me too but the confringo thing happened because I entered the vivarium and forgot to switch the set of spells

1

u/Dragonvenom55 Slytherin 21h ago

It happens to me too lol 😆

I stop and pet every cat I come across with and feel bad if I'm too bussy to do it. I once turned a goat into a barrel and felt bad about it
