AFT - Jack & Ianto's Christmas Presents

[bk_forever]

A trio of Action Figure pics.

Jack and Ianto really liked their Christmas presents. Coat Jack is a little envious.





For dieastra , a closer look at some of the Christmas food (I'd put some away by the time I took this photo. I'll try to do another pic of the various foods I've got some other time.)






Nosy enjoys its Christmas dinner.

Saw that miniature Whiskey on ebay and I didn't care who I had to outbid to get it - it was made for my boys! There is a bottle inside the box, of course!

I'm sure everyone got a shot of Whiskey, and then they all had fun with the handcuffs, lol!

Alternate Nosy doesn't mind being a stand-in, it likes the attention. I think Jack and Ianto will keep it even if I manage to make a more 'lifelike' Nosy! A Fluff is for life, not just for Christmas!

Well of course that Cap'n Jack whiskey could only go to one person! (Or several versions of the same person, as the case may be.) I would have had to have it too, spare no expense!

A Fluff is for life, not just for Christmas!

Well-said, and it applies to every pet people give for a holiday, like bunnies on Easter or kittens... whenever. But of course the boys are responsible caretakers and would never abandon any Nosy. I'm thinking this one came over from an AU world where it wasn't so appreciated, like the neglected Ianto at the end of that fic you recently rec'd. LOL.

Yeah, that seems likely! Fluffs are good at slinking through small gaps - the fluffiness is deceptive - so it found a little hole between dimensions and slinked through from the evil dimension where it was being experimented on in the hopes of finding somewhere nicer. It's happy now, well fed and cared for.

I spotted the whiskey by chance, so it really must have been meant for my boys, lol!

I paraphrased something that has been used here for years to remind people that giving animals at Christmas is not a good idea unless the recipient is fully prepared to care for their new pet for as long as it lives. The campaign worked well, I believe, with less pets being abandoned after Christmas when their new owners got tired of them.

Awwww! I'm glad Alt!Fluff found a better dimension to inhabit. :) And a little jealous. Why can't I live with two Iantos and five Jacks?!? :-p

Every year around Easter animal rights groups run a similar campaign to discourage people from giving bunnies and baby chicks as pets, but I've not heard much at Christmas. The message is a good one, whatever the time of year. So many people see animals as disposable, it's shocking!

I've come to the conclusion that my Action Figure Theatre universe is on where all the unwanted, neglected and badly treated Jacks and Iantos find their way to, a Gwenless place they can be happy and loved. If a Fluff or two finds its way there too, well, the more the merrier! There's also a purple pteranodon and will no doubt be some other odd creatures making appearances. It's a Janto sanctuary!

I never get how people can just toss aside a living creature when they get tired of it or when it gets older and doesn't look so cute. Most of my pets have been unwanted by other people for various reasons. My last 2 guinea pigs, their previous owner had to move and her new landlord didn't allow pets. Another pair, the kids got bored with them, another pair the little boy turned out to be violently allergic to fur. My current rabbit and two previous rabbits were all bred by accident, the two tortoises were both strays who were never claimed, two of my budgies were found in gardens, the cockatiel was unwanted because he only had one leg... All those and more have founds homes here for the remainder of their lives.
