It seems an animal needing help is the blanket disclaimer rule for either fighting or ignoring your other obligations. Sounds about right.

I imagine if that if you go anywhere with JJ there is a distinct possibility he'll have to stop at some point to either rescue an animal or pet an animal.

Winnie: Really? On my wedding day?
JJ: It was a puppy, Winifred!

The fact that I've already sketched out a ridiculous amount of details about Winnie's future husband and his daemon is a little scary.

I've given the Stark children professions, dating habits, and given Jamie and husband and kids, so I'm right there with you.

I'm not sure about JJ's future life partner. I see him as quite happy being on his own, so I picture him only dating if he was really interested in a girl, and probably needing to be head over heels before he did anything about it.
