#'but you dont have any of these Challenging Working Dogs' no i dont

[fjordfolk]

"well what are YOU doing with your dogs??" vibin, sir

[lara-cairncross]

my personal sonadow headcanons in no particular order bc im procrastinating on writing a research paper right now and its either do this or throw myself off the roof:

Shadow is a few inches shorter than Sonic, but ONLY if he takes his shoes off. cue many years' worth of shenanigans with Shadow doing everything in his power to avoid going barefoot in Sonic's presence because he knows if Sonic finds out he'll never hear the end of it (hes right)

T4T SONADOW

Sonic was able to get top surgery, but Shadow's body healed itself too quickly for it to work on him. flash forward to when he gets his Black Doom abilities and one of his first orders of business is to fuck around with them until he's able to give HIMSELF top surgery

Sonic hates coffee beans (too bitter) and Shadow hates chili dogs (too heavy/savory). they've broken up over this enough times for Rouge to lose count

Sonic is so good at flirting with everyone EXCEPT SHADOW. HE GETS TOO FLUSTERED. HE TRIES SO HARD AND IT NEVER WORKS BUT SHADOW IS TOO DOWN BAD TO CARE

Shadow grew up on a space station, with no biological reason to eat, and no access to fresh food or a kitchen. Sonic literally raised both himself AND TAILS. Shadow is NOT the cook between the two of them please everyone keeps saying otherwise and i dont understand it you cant convince me shadow knows how to boil a pot of water PLEASE SOMEBODY AGREE WITH ME

Sonic ages. Shadow doesn't. 50 years down the line somebody asks Sonic if Shadow is his son. Shadow immediately gets payback for 50 years of short jokes.

they are both so smart and so capable and so dangerous by themselves but if you put them in the same room in any context outside of a life-or-death situation they become the two dumbest motherfuckers you've ever had the displeasure of engaging in polite conversation with

shadow bottoms what who said that

okay this one might be silly but I feel like they would both be good at chess??? like Sonic is surprisingly well-read and more observant than people give him credit for, and Shadow probably had a lot of strategy training from GUN + played games with Maria on the ARK. idk i just feel like it would be a fun way for them to challenge each other outside of just racing/combat yknow

they both wear jewelry with each others' colors :] i usually make it earrings but i think Sonic having bracelets to mirror Shadow's rings would be really cute too

autistic Shadow and ADHD Sonic yes please yes yes yes

Sonic is the most verbally affectionate and Shadow is the most physically affectionate IM RIGHT YOU CANT ARGUE WITH ME ON THIS ONE IM PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN GOODBYE

they like to beat each other up a little toooooo much and its kinda toxic maybe but also theyre both having fun so like. maybe its just a love language 🫶🫶

Tails is so, SO disappointed with Sonic for his choice in men. like he actively considers holding an intervention when he finds out that Shadow and Sonic started dating

theyre both somewhere on the aromantic and asexual spectrums because uhhhhhh so am i and i can project if i want to

Sonic is a chronic yapper and Shadow is a listener BUT. HEAR ME OUT. IT STARTS TO SWAP AS THEY GET MORE COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER. shadow comes out of his shell and feels more at ease talking, and sonic appreciates having someone who doesnt expect him to be at full energy/optimism 24/7 and lets him be silent when he needs to be

⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡ yuuji megumi gojo nanami n choso ☆ how jjk men act when they have a crush on you!

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡ fem!reader, black coded but anyone can read

⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡ notes: ahhh the comeback post!! let's just say my old works were...less than coherent. but im here and ready to slay the day after 2-ish years!! take these crumbs while i try and find my footing again. stay hot lovies 🎀🎀

yuuji itadori 🌸

my babyyy (sob sob) yuuji would def try to impress you with his athleticism, bc girls like that stuff right? (gojo told him that...save him)

he frequently challenges you to friendly competitions when sparring to showing off his skills.

he def let's you get quite a few hits on him and he may even let you win from time to time (seeing your smile makes getting knocked on his ass worth it)

he might act a bit bashful, but he's straightforward. he knows he has a crush on you so why would he hide it?

expect nice gestures like him wanting to carry things for you, buying you food, watching all your fav movies, ect.

speaking of which, movie hangouts!!!

every friday usually you, megumi, nobara, and yuuji all get together and watch a movie

buuuttt if he's feeling especially brave he'll invite you to his dorm to watch the newest movie in your favorite series! (yes, he keeps track of when they come out)

he loves that it becomes y'alls thing and he loves it even more when you lay your head on his shoulder and doze off <;33

he also gives hella compliments cause something in my gut says his love language is words of affirmation.

anticipate many "isn't [name] just the coolest?" or "you look great today [name]!"

im telling you he could never run out of nice things to say to you, whether it be about your looks or personality

as soon as he realizes he likes you he takes down those pin up girl posters in his dorm

he also obviously thinks you're more beautiful than jennifer lawrence argue wit ur mama

he is also obviously a personality over looks guy so dont act surprised if you see him looking at you with a lovesick grin if he catches you doing something kind for someone

expect him to confess his feelings sooner rather than later

"yeah, why wouldn't i have a crush on [name]? shes beautiful and badass! but don't tell her, okay?"

megumi fushiguro 🌸

megumi, unlike yuuji is quite reserved, even with his friends

honestly gives no indication that he likes you at all 💀💀 he stares at you pretty intensely at first (to admire your beauty) but quickly catches on that you think its weird..

once you two get closer though, megumi would frequently express his crush through small gestures

he strikes me as a reader so i can see him recommending his favorite books to you or even lending you some of his.

you two exchange books often and he highlights quotes that remind him of you

i can also see book shop hangouts where you two sit and read together in some small bookshop he found in the city.

(he's just admiring you read)

he's not a huge compliment/affirmation guy but quality time is a big one for him

whether it be on missions, sparring, or out with the rest of the first year's, he enjoys any time he can have with you.

megumi is also very protective but like...subtly

he secretly watches out for you during missions, making sure you're safe without drawing attention to it

he'll insist you two split up but send one of his divine dogs to accompany you to wherever you go.

even when you're out and about in tokyo he always likes to stay close to you. he follows you around (not in a creepy way more like a lost puppy way)

follows you into stores you like even if he has absolutely no interest.

all in all he's just a shy guy who's whipped for you <3

"i enjoy spending time with you. a lot."

teen!satoru gojo 🌸

gojo...you bastard...(affectionate)

erm ngl i can def see him being a bully to you at first...

not like a bully bully but he def teases you a lot and it gets under your skin sometimes. (you hate him)

but in reality hes jus a spoiled litte rich boy in love.

once he realizes his feelings he still pokes fun at you sometimes, but tones it down hard and turns on his charm.

gojo's approach is confident and playful. he teases you, always with a charming grin, creating a dynamic that keeps things lighthearted and enjoyable.

he'll find excuses to spend time with you, whether it's offering to train together

unlike yuuji he doesn't care if he likes you this son of a gun will NOT let you win istg

it's like he's trying to rile you up, saying ridiculously cheesy one liners as he dodges all your attacks.

"thats the best you got? oh [name], we'll never get to be together if i keep beating you!"

one thing he does enjoy doing with you however, are snack runs.

gojo is a big back in disguise with too much money to spend so you already knows most of that goes towards food.

he has a huge sweet tooth so i can see you guys browsing multiple sweets shops in the city. if he sees you even look at something for too long he'll buy 10 of them.

every trip you guys both leave with full bellies and full hearts <3

gojo wants to be around you, and he makes sure it's fun for you both

his confession is likely to be straightforward. ccompanied by his trademark smile and his sparkling blue eyes peeking from his shades.

"you know, i've been thinking... i'm kind of into you. what do you say we make things a bit more interesting?"

teen!kento nanami 🌸

my emo boy ❤️‍🩹

nanami, with his composed demeanor, expresses his feelings (though you were unsure if he even had any) through thoughtful actions.

he remembers every. single. detail. of anything you say to him.

your favorite attist dropped an album today? he already bought you the cd/vinyl. you never got a chance to go to the store to get your favorite snack? he went 2 days ago.

he revels in the fact that he knows so much about yousnd the surprised look on your face gets him every time.

(haibara claims he's seen nanami smile at you multiple times but he vehemently denies it.)

despite his serious appearance, he'll occasionally crack dry jokes when it's just the two of you

look at that man and tell me he doesn't have a dry sense of humor 😭😭

you help him to relax and he feels he can truly be himself around you. when you two are alone its like hes showing a different side to his personality.

like megumi, i can see quality time being a big thing for him since attending jujutsu high leaves him quite busy

hes also not a huge talker so whenever you two do spend time together its probably somewhere intimate like your dorm or the library.

no words, just vibes. which he appreciates since he's around a bunch of yipper yappers all day.

nanami's confession is understated but sincere.

"i appreciate the time we spend together. it's made me realize there's something more i feel..."

choso kamo 🌸

my babyyyy no. 2 (i need him biblically)

let's get one thing straight tho. choso is a curse. in my opinion curses have no idea of love in a healthy, positive way so let's just say bb is confused.

he obviously knows what love is. he loves his brothers but he doesnt wanna kiss them...and cuddle them...

he goes to yuuji for advice (was it a bad idea? perhaps.)

"bro you totally have a crush on [name]!"

"a crush?"

after some further investigation hes pretty much got the gist of it.

one thing he becomes quite fond of doing is giving you small gifts from his missions.

these aren't typic gifts persay, like food, clothing or jewelry but more like knickknacks such as shells or rocks.

these tokens become a way for him to express what words might fail to convey.

i headcannon choso likes nature documentaries and after seeing that penguins mate for life by gifting a rock to their mate he's hooked.

idk but i also feel like he's very touchy.

he always has an eye on you in public and ik he does the thing where he guides u with his hand on the small of your back or he locks pinkies with you UGHHHH

with him being protective, he also subtly keeps an eye on you during missions.

he's not one to voice his concern directly but prefers to ensure your safety from the danger.

choso's confession might catch you off guard, but it's filled with honesty and sincerity.

"i've found myself caring about you more than I expected. it's strange..."

[stovetoast]

pillow tpot headcanons (long ramble expanding on the ocd part under the cut)

ok so first warning: i am not a psychiatrist. this isnt a super educated essay on ocd, just me projecting my lived experience onto an object show character. this is just an observation. if i get something wrong feel free to correct me, ill add it here. (its also worth noting i am self diagnosed. not "quick google search" self dx though, ive gone over it with a therapist and everything)

and that leads into the second warning: this ramble will get a tad bit personal sorryyyy

and finally the third warning: i put she/it on the ref but im just using she/her for simplicity (+ i forgot LOL(

anyway so yeah i think that pillow has ocd and is basically the embodiment of "letting intrusive thoughts win" except like. actually. this headcanon didnt stem from the killing or the strange impulses though, i think she has it because of her fixation on good and bad luck in tpot 10.

for me it manifests in a few different ways. my main one is counting—i have good luck numbers and bad luck numbers. i need to take a specific number of snacks every time i have a bowl of them. i have to shake medicine bottles a certain amount of times before taking them. i am always counting the "syllables" of whatever im doing, and it always has to land on a multiple/factor of my lucky number. and if i break any of this, i (generally, if i cant convince myself its fine or if i dont notice) have to count to my lucky number otherwise something bad will happen. hell, i added more flags to this ref because the number of them was my unlucky number.

i have a few other things that affect it that are completely unrelated to counting, though. like a particularly bad one is that i straight up cant wear certain articles or clothing anymore because theyre bad luck. or my ungodly long night routine (which is probably more of an autism thing tbh. but certain parts of it are absolutely influenced by the ocd, like having to say goodnight to my dog).

that ^^ is what i saw in pillow. she was distraught that her team lost in 9, because not only did she think she was doing the challenge right, but killing people (bringing death) was good luck for her.

i think her killing people was a compulsion, and her whole thing in 10 was her scrambling to find a new one after that stopped working.

and before anyone tries to be all like "oh thats fucked up why would they portray ocd like that," one: i dont think this was on purpose this was just an observation, two: i mean..... fuck dude if i lived in a world where revival was incredibly accessible and one of my compulsions were to kill people, id do the same thing. death is fairly normal in bfdi, to the point everyone literally has a kill count on the fandom wiki (hers is 13 as of tpot 11 btw, a commonly unlucky number ironically enough. if she gets eliminated in 12 with an unlucky kill count thatd be so funny). once they get past the pain, its. really just an inconvenience to them.

when it comes to ocd, you. HAVE to do these things. its not a choice until you can get some outside help with it, and oftentimes its an inconvenience to those around you. i dont think its right for her to be going around killing her team, but when i get past the fact that is literally what made her my favorite, i get where shes coming from. shes trying to help in a way she "knows" will work.

or maybe shes just silly idk

General Headcannons:

I needed to write something so here you go

P.D: I had to write this TWICE because it got deleted I don't even know how (please never save your works while in an elevator, don't be dumb like me)

T.W: Bad writing, probably lots of mistakes, sorry 😞

Makoto Naegi:

He's a cutie-patootie

I think he's he kind of person to trip and fall directly into you. Probably because he was looking at you and didn't pay attention.

Cuddles, like a lot.

Still I don't think he would just hug you or jump at you every time, I think he's the kind of cuddler who would just hold your hand, kiss your cheeks and you know, those subtle things.

But like, he doesn't mind PDA, he's just so awkward with it, poor boy (he's so me)

Please pat his head.

I mean, he's not a kid, he doesn't need to be treated like a dog, and he's not an uwu kawaii boi.

He's just kind, and enjoys people company.

So he would just be embarrassed because he's like *OMG WE ARE HOLDING HANDS*

He would scream internly the first time, but the he would get used.

Overall hes so sweet, and he would be such a great company whether familiar, platonic, or romantic (but obviously I just did romantic here)

Kyoko Kirigiri

SHE'S SO PRETTY OMG

EJEM, sorry...

She's obviously much of an introvert

But not in a shy way, I just think she's not really confident, not in herself but in the others.

In a way that, she's always "on guard" and doesn't trust new people.

Because of this, I think you would have to be friends with her first, before any type of relationship.

She needs to trust you, so, do your best buddy.

Still, when she finally trusts you, she would enjoy having a deep conversation, like talking about life, feelings, fears, and just getting to know you fully.

And she would pay attention to every single word you say.

I love her so much omg

Kinda short, I'm sorry 😞

Byakuya Togami

*sigh*

This man...

I love him so much, but I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT'S ON HIS MIND.

Like, I have A LOT to say about him but I will try to make it brief.

So, first of all, this man had to fight to dead with the 107 of his half-siblings, to be the heir of the Togami clan.

Well, he has trauma, that's obvious.

I mean, he probably considers life itself as a competition.

But not in the way that he would get mad if someone is better than him on something, I think he would actually admire hard working people (he would never admit it lol)

It's more in a way of, trying to give the best of himself when it's necessary, and, as we saw in the game, he wants it to be interesting so, he IS competitive, it's just his life since he was a kid so, and he likes to be challenged.

If you actually challenge him, he would be actually surprised, and he would be really invested, cause like he can't lose to a PLEBIAN, like just NO.

Still, he losses, and well... he's not happy about it but instead of hating you, he kinda admires you? Nahhhh, he would never- (he does)

For him, all he has is his money and title, which is more than enough in his opinion.

But he would actually wonder if you would still be interested in him if he didn't have them.

He would understand if you wouldn't tho, is how they have teached him since he was a child.

If you say that you would, he wouldn't understand why, but would be happy about it.

Overall I think this man just needs some help and therapy to heal from trauma and he would be alright.

I think he's a good person (he just has traumaaa)

-------------------------------------------------------

EXTRA: I LOVE platonic naegirigami. They are THE BEST TRIO, I just love the dynamic.

Togami: "ugh, this peasants think they can be my friends? Ew" *they are and he is actually happy about it*

Kyoko: "Damn, well... I guess I can't do anything about it" *she finds the others really funny*

Makoto: "wow, my friends are so cool, I love them" he's just a happy man

I just needed to add it, sorry 😞

ANYWAYS

I will do more, only three in a post because I rant and it's just too long. When I finish them all I might put them together.

This is not even half of what I have to say but, anyway.

Hope you like it!

LOVE YOUUU

[herbologyprofessor]

my collected thoughts on the magic system of harry potter and what I would change to make it better.

i think that the harry potter magic system sucks!!

i mean, im sure this isnt a hot take but like...how is it that students at hogwarts school of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY graduate knowing how to use maybe a handfull of spells in combat? and they're the same spells that all the aurors and all the older members of the order and all the death eaters and even voldemort use?

and im especially talking about how weak it makes people who are supposed to be really powerful and dangerous seem. including the titular character Harry Potter himself. Harry uses spells in a unique way, dont get me wrong, but to me its all just so boring.

and im not saying it doesnt have to work like other fantasy stories, but if the main mechanism behind magic in harry potter is that you are either born with it or not, you dont need a wand but its exponentially more challenging without one (unless you have a unique skillset or education), intention matters, and there are spells that can grant magical abilities to objects. there is so much more possibility than just expelliarmus and expecto patronum. There has to be, or else why tf would hogwarts take 7 years of schooling to graduate from?

so here are some of my headcanons:

families have bloodline abilities

so, in the case of wizarding britan, there are families that want to stay pure such as the sacred 28 (or is it 27 i cant remember), and pure as in their blood and bloodline must stay pure (going so far as to marry your cousins, e.g. Orion and Walburga Black). If this is the case, and they wan't to preserve their magical bloodline so bad, they'd have to have something more than just "magic" to preserve.

I feel like its almost there in canon but falls short of being fully realized. I think of it kinda like how it works in naruto. Theres those who have a bloodline ability and then those that dont. You dont have to have one to be powerful, if you have one it dosent mean you will be powerful automatically.

The black family seems to carry the gene for metamorphmagus, but i wouldnt consder this a bloodline ability and think of it more like a random mutation passed on to teddy, which could occur in any magical person, (theres also the possibility that this was a more common ability in the black family but because of the lack of genetic diversity and inbreeding it was lost until Andromeda had Remadora with Ted, who was not pureblood. I think abilities have to do with the energy of magic that is either created or inherited, not so much genetics. Therefore, families dont pass on the same exact ability but something that is novel or slightly different from person to person.

The Lupins, for example, could be Beast Speakers. Maybe, a long time ago in the Lupin familiy, they kept wolves or something (explaining the surname which would have had something to do with occupation) and they learned from them how to speak with animals?Lyall, who canonically worked in the Department for the Control and Regulation of Dark Creatures, can speak to dark creatures, even werewolves who are transformed. Remus can speak to domesticated animals like cats and dogs, fancy mice, toads, etc. Remus is like Hogwarts' unofficial vet tech, and if you like atyd Remus, this fits in nicely as he specialized in Care of Magical Creatures.

The Potters, canonically, are linked to the Peverell family. The invisibility cloak has been passed down through generations and is still being passed down to Harry's children. I think a common headcanon, and one that i truly love, is that they use Death Magic. But, thats assuming the potters are the exact same family as the Peverells, which they are not. I think, in going along with the Peverell brothers creating the deathly hallows (using advanced death magic), the potters have a Sorcerer's Craft ability. What was the Potter family's source of new money? Fleamont's invention, Sleekeazey's. I know its a "potion", but what if its just like...coconut oil imbued with magical enchantments that make your hair perfect. James could have played a major hand in the creation of the Marauder's Map, an Extremely powerful magical object made to do the impossible task of mapping Hogwarts. And he did this in school. at like 14-15. Harry doesn't do anything that has to do with magic item creation, that I can remember (i haven't read the books in years), however he also had no connection to his family and likely wouldn't be able to learn without another Potter teaching him. BUT! Harry Potter is the master of death, meaning he can use all 3 of the deathly hallows without being corrupted, maybe this could be a side effect of how his Sorcerer's Craft manifests itself.

side tangent, but the reason I think this is an ability even though others have been known to make magical objects, is because the potters are able to do it very creatively, and early on in their lives. They are involved in every aspect of item creation, and they can enchant things in a way no other wizard could replicate, meaning their objects could not be mass produced without their explicit involvement. Maybe Sleekeasy's stops working so well once Fleamont dies, hence why Hermione says its too much hassle to use every day.

The Blacks, you might think, would be something to do with offensive, powerful, and deadly magic. While, yes, this is something that some members of the black family are gifted in, it is not their bloodline ability. I think that the Blacks are Seers. It's no coincidence their families long standing tradition of astrological names are prophetical for their lives. Walburga Black, for example, has the power of Augery. She asks the universe questions and receives omens as answers. She saw a black dog when asking the universe to tell her about her newborn son, hence the name Sirius. For Regulus, well, she saw water. Not knowing what to make of it, she refused to let Regulus near it for his entire childhood. Regulus, as an empath, has the ability of psychometry. The ability to gain information from an object by touching it, including humans ( he cant read minds, but can tell what someone has experienced in their life). This comes in great handiness when he goes to destroy the locket. Sirius, I believe, would have a mastery over tarot cards or oracle cards. He can glean deadly accurate readings, and has a keen ability to interpret meanings unknown to even the most practiced tarot readers. He has a special deck, one that his uncle Alphard gave to him when he found out Sirius could read tarot from Walburga (who, at the time, was very pleased with her Heir's ability). This comes with an emotional expense to Sirius, though, and at times, gives him answers he doesnt want to hear. The girls loved it though, and asked him to teach them. He tried but couldn't explain how he did it, since it's innate to his bloodline. Of course, you could obviously imagine this adding to the piles of angst surrounding the war, as Sirius had to have seen signs that his loved ones would die, making him think he could outsmart fate by changing the secret keeper...

I think this is getting too long, but I'm already thinking about part 2 because I have alot of thoughts about this...especially things that anyone could learn not just inheritied abilities.

[azurlily]

Day 7 of 31 of the yandere month May challenge. These two yanderes work together well, so they're pretty scary.

Also a reminder to everyone this is the last month you can request a specific type of reader for free. After this month it becomes commission work. Ask any questions in either DM or on my asks/requests.

Your boss has been giving you a hard time. Vi and Caitlyn hear about and are not happy, they make the night all about you.(they also deal with your boss)

Yandere!Vi and Yandere!Caitlyn Kiramman SMUT

"I dont fucking care! If it's not done by Friday, you're off the team! Got it!?"

You nodded your head, got you hate this man. He's the embodiment of everything you hate. He stands there and glares at you before turning away in anger, you hear him mumble about 'idiot' while he walks away.

Slowly you turn around, turning your head up to stop the warm water dripping down your face. You walk out, it was the end of the day and Friday is only 2 days from now. You can work on the project at home, you hope your lovers would let you pay attention. They like to distract you from work.

Once your home you realise you see two coats, two pairs of shoes, and most importantly two women in the kitchen. Upon hearing the door close both women look up, a set of grey and a set of blue eyes look at you. The hold nothing but adoration, love, happiness, and kindness. Both of your girlfriends love you so much.

So it brought them both pain when you break down crying. Tears spill down you face, warm tears, refusing to stop. Vi is the first to run to you, she picks you up and holds you. She brings you into the kitchen, her face went from one of love to one of pure disgust.

Vi always has some sort of snark, smile, or relatively happy look on her face. Of course that's only for you and Caitlyn. Now, oh right now, she's absolutely pissed, and not afraid to show it.

"Honey? What's wrong, are you okay?"

You didn't say a word, it took you a good second to finally regain the ability to properly think. You push yourself off of Vi, Vi herself had switched back to a smile. She doesn't want to frighten you, poor you.

The three of you sit down and start talking. You explain what's been going on, specifically with your boss. You know that Caitlyn has more than enough money to support you and Vi, and she's never abuse that. You just wanted to be able to do things, and having a job was the best way. Your job wasn't always this demanding, it's your boss that's the problem.

While you were talking you didn't notice the slow changes in both Vi and Caitlyn's faces. They couldn't look at you properly, not right now at least. Both girls had one goal currently, and that was to kill you boss. How dare he yell at you!? Does he not know who you are, who your lovers are? They could ruin him with a snap of their fingers.

"G-girls. I'm going to go call someone real quick."

Vi didn't say anything else and stood up. She walked into the bedroom and called Jinx. The two have been having a good relationship so far. Their bond growing stronger, and therapy is helping too. While you sat on the couch and let Caitlyn coddle you, Vi was calling her sister for a favor.

"Hey, hey yeah. Yeah I need a favor, someone hasn't been all to kind to [name] I was wondering if you could deal with him. No- no I don't care what happens to him. Kill him if you want, just make him understand not to hurt her. Yeah, yeah I'll give you his info in a second."

Caitlyn had so many ideas stewing in her mind, how dare he. How dare your moronic, disgusting, disrespectful boss, EVER yell at you. Men like him need to be put down, maybe cut their balls off, like you would a dog or a cat. Teach him a lesson, he obviously doesn't see a goddess when it's in front of him.

Vi walks in with a smile, she had a good- great idea. You poor thing, you've been hurt so badly by your boss. You need all the love and care both of your very willing girlfriends can provide.

Vi sneaks over to Caitlyn with a smirk, whispering her plan into her ear. An equally devious smirk appears on Caitlyns face. Oh this, this is going to be fun, very fun. Caitlyn smiles sweetly at you, she gives you the smile that tells you many things. That she loves you, that she adores you, that she'd kill for you, that she want to fuck you so hard it hurts.

You assumed the latter was her choice.

"Sweetie, why don't you go undress in the bedroom, hm? Vi and I will be there soon, we're just going to grab a few toys."

Caitlyn stands up and give you a small peck on the lips before leaving with Vi. To large smirks on their face as they walk away. Their entire plan is to fuck you so raw you can't go to work, then when you do, your boss(if he's even alive) will have a whole new personality.

You walk to the bedroom, your face burning. Other parts of your body started to burn too, burn with need, with want. You didn't realise how pent up you were until now, god this was frustrating for you. You know your lovers, they love to tease.

After about ten minutes Caitlyn and Vi walk in. Vi has her boxers on, she also has a belt with a harness attached to it. The entire thing makes it look like thin, black(stylish) suspenders. Caitlyn though, oh she's wearing baby blue lingere. It looks so soft and pretty, you want to tear it off her, so very badly.

"You look so cute princess! I'm glad you were smart enough to only wear a bra and panties, if you wore anything else, well I would more than likely tear it!"

Vi always sounds so enthusiastic right before sex, you know it's her way of showing her interest. It's just scary sometimes, I mean the look on her face and the way she's talking are two very, very different things. She sounds happy, sweet, and kind, she looks like she wants to fuck you in front of hundreds of people and let them call you dirty things for her amusement.

"Mhm. Indeed, our beautiful little wife has learned, finally. I'm glad I dont need to worry about Vi destroying all your clothes anymore. Now, how about you lay back for us."

It wasn't a request, no instead it was a command. Caitlyn runs a tight ship, and you've learned bratting off only fucks you over further into the future. Not that it matters, you find it fun. You tilt your head and ask her to make you. A smile- dark, a dark smile finds it's way to her face. Caitlyn walks to you, she gently grabs a handful of your hair and pulls. A warning, she's warning you.

You know, you know all about her warnings. First a hair pull, then she'll bite your neck softly, lastly she grab you by the throat. Not roughly, but not soft either. You look up at her with faux innocence, you tilt you head in an attempt to feign innocence. You hear a deep growl from behind you, Vi. She's getting impatient.

Vi is the easier one to please out of the two, she just wants to make you scream. That's isn't hard to do, you just have to hit the right spots.

"I advise you to listen to Caitlyn, just because this night is about you doesn't mean we wont remind you how to listen. Dont test."

You decide it's best to save the brat for another day, you know their doing this to make you feel good. You told them everything, you're not surprised they had this cooked up. You nod slowly, you watch Caitlyn pull back, only for her to push you onto the bed. You lay back, spreading your legs and moving your arms above your head.

You know how they like it. You watch Caitlyn move and sit in a chair, it has gold trimmings and is a satin red. Vi smirks, this is how it goes. From now on, the words 'Vi' and 'Caitlyn' don't exist. It's daddy, and mistress. Honorifics, the things you call them by as a reminder of how they own you.

You watch Vi pull something from a box she had with her. A bright red, 8 inch long strap on. She looks between you and the strap, she sees the reaction on your face. Nothing but pure horny bliss, that's what she likes to see. If she saw that you were scared, she would have used a smaller one. One that would better fit you and your interests.

Vi attaches the strap to her, that's what the harness is for after all. She takes a few steps to you, she puts gets on the bed, her hips cornering you. You lay spread out, and she lays on top of you, look down. She takes your hands and cuffs them together, she. The harness has a belt attached to it, the cuffs were attached to the belt. Vi grins, she loves seeing you helpless, seeing that you need her.

You look over to Caitlyn, she's staring you both intently. She wants to see who will react first, if you say something, or will you meekly open your legs and let Vi have her fun. Caitlyn shakes with anticipation, making herself wetter than before. At some point Vi cant take it anymore, she grabs one of your legs and puts it over her shoulder. She dips the straps tip into you, nothing more, just the tip. She wants to see you shake, shake in pleasure, in pain, she wants to see all of it.

You jump and shake at the sudden intrusion, you body feels amazing and Vi just looks at you. She watches you twitch and shake as she slowly slips in and out ofr your pussy. She wants to see every reaction, every movement. Vi can't get enough of seeing you like this, she needs it, she becomes feral thinking about all the things she's going to do to you. Her pace quickened, hips starting to jam closer and closer to your. She needs this, badly.

Caitlyn watches you two with intense excitement. She loves seeing you like this, and it wasn't like she isn't getting any please out of this two. She had put a bullet vibrator in Vi, and she had a vibrator on herself too. She has the controls to Vis and hers, she turns Vis up by 1 and watches her shake. Caitlyn can see just how much shes getting off on this, and it makes her shiver thinking about it.

"Vi honey, if you want to cum at any point tonight, you're going to have to make our darling scream. I want to hear it loud and clear. Got that?"

"Mm, y-yes ma'am. Make her scream so I can c-cum."

Vi is absolutely losing it right not, her hips keep slamming into yours. No matter how many times you shake and spasm, your entire body is under her control. Vi on the other hand is under Caitlyns control, she knows Vi is chasing her oragsm, and hell get it. As long as Caitlyn gets to hear you scream. Vis thrusts get more and more manic, she's shaking, helping you into your orgasm, while chasing her own. God she needs it, so badly.

Your breath starts to shake more, you and Vi had changed positions a while ago, you are on your back and Vi has you holding onto her for dear life. You start scratching down Vis back, be it the pain of pleasure, you can take if anymore. You start crying and mumbling incoherently, you don't know what you're saying, and neither do Vi or Caitlyn. All that matter is you being absolutely destroyed, and you look oh so close.

"Vi, baby, I want you both to cum with me. Hold on just a bit longer babe, and Vi, I'll turn the vibe up."

You didn't know if you could hold on, it just felt so, so good. How the hell are you going to hold back like this!? At this rate you'll start breaking rules, one of those being don't cum unless given permission. You start hitting Vis back, hoping she slows down. You need her to or you wont last any longer, although you know Vi isn't going to listen. Even if you could talk properly, which you cannot.

"Fuck- cum! Both you of y-you, fuck!"

Permission, that's what you needed, and finally you were given it. Your body convulses against Vis, who does the exact same. You to shake and rock against eachother. Slowly you both come down from your highs. Caitlyn turns the bullet Vibrator off and turns hers off too. Vi slowly pulls out of you, she sees your freshly fucked face and almost laughs. You look so cute, all dumb like this.

"You both did so well for me, but now. Vi honey, please move. It's my turn to torture [name] body, and I intend to work thoroughly.

You look at her in your blissed out state, you should have known. Both if them want your body, they just like to take it in different ways.

[doberbutts]

what happened to dobermanns in the 80s? was there a major shift in what the breed was being used for/bred for? i dont know anything about breeding drama

Yes, mostly that the world kind of got tired of having vicious dogs that couldn't be touched and so passed a whole bunch of aggressive dog laws that outlawed the ability to own a dog that was like that, and so doberman breeders were more or less left with the choice of breed away from original temperament or don't have a breed anymore.

The choice was made to lean hard into a friendly, sociable, everyman's dog that could be touched by anyone. That also sort of failed spectacularly because you can't just create that temperament out of no where and just choosing to breed the dogs that wouldn't bite was ignoring that many of these dogs wouldn't bite because they were too soft and too shy to issue a challenge, not because they were actually *friendly*, which turned the breed into even worse fear biters than they were before and also created this problem still occurring today where dobermans have pisspoor working ability on average and it is difficult to find one who can even do a fraction of the breeds original job of personal protection.

So now we have:

Dogs that are incredible fear biters who are genuinely not safe to own.

Dogs that are incredibly aggressive to humans and thus are genuinely not safe to own.

Dogs that are not biters but also cannot pass the breed's temperament tests because they lack confidence and have had the working ability bred out of them. Great active pets, can't work worth a damn.

Dogs that are OK sport dogs but will never get far. Whether or not they are good pets varies on the individual.

And the very few actually good dogs, that match a modernized version of what the breed can be legally and ethically, but often way too much dog for the average pet person to own.

Don't get me wrong, I think in a good litter you will always have a variety of the last 3. The hope of course is that you get more of the last 1 than any of the others, but you never know. But the damage is done, and now the good dogs are so hard to find, and with this ever growing breed split it will simply get harder and harder. And for what? So we can die on the hill that is ears and tails? Sure I guess.

Pokemon team-building for fun

I think nakazato would run houndoom, umbreon, luxray and honchrow for doubles, and have lopunny and seviper as non-competitive team. References and such under the read-more, this post is like a mile long

Houndoom! Its a classic pokemon, dark-fire, loyal dog that shows its strength through fighting, blah blah blah. I feel he'd lead with houndoom to fire off as many status conditions as possible, since houndoom can have fire and poison moves on it. Has early-bird so you can't put it to sleep and knock it out easy.

Seviper - He caught it on an expidtion with shingo, who caught a zangoose at the same time - Probably a 'who can find a pokemon fastest' type of challenge for shits and gigs or somethin. As such both pokemon keep trying to fight eachother when released; tying back to their rivalry-friendship thing they have runnin. Dont stand so close to me an all.

Luxray for rule of cool. It's associated with night, it can see through walls, It has intimidate to lower attack - just seems like an easy pick. Looks like a dark type but is pure electric, which is an added bonus to helping round out the types on his team.

Umbreon - Mascot! Literal night pokemon, bitch has the moon on it's forhead. can use moonlight for recovery to be annoying. Also a high friendship evolution, he cares a lot about his pokemon.

Honchrow ; another leader pokemon, dark-flying to go back to the night time. Honchrow if you arent expecting it can be tough. But generally its a pretty easy thing to beat up. Its not very fast. Often gets sent out to sweep fighting type pokemon that might be used to try to sweep his team since it resists fighting.

Lopunny is his only shiny, and is a reference to pyun-chan. I like the idea of shingo giving him buneary as joke, and since buneary evolves with high-friendship... he cares very deeply for the rabbit xp plus she's cute!!!

The art looks Like That because i had to edit the offical to make it shiny. It was a lengthy job for a low budget looking piece ha

Honchrow being a stone-evolution, umbreon and lopunny being friendship, and houndoom andd lucray being fully evolved point towards how seriously he takes racing pokemon battling, as it takes a lot of work to get the team to the right levels and getting all the pieces in place for everyone.

If there's any pokemon nerds 👉👈 hmu do you think it's a good fit? Any changes or thoughts on the team? I feel like there's pokemon that might fit him better but for now! I'm happy with the team me thinks. Has kinda classic bad guy feels.

How to survive being Gluskin's brids

Tw mentions of childhood sa,abuse,nsfw,and gluskin being gluskin

Ima write fluff for him after

-he's in control period he needs to be if he's in control nothing can hurt him or you

-dont challenge this doing something small will send him into a rage with thrown furniture and smashen plates and if you did something really bad in his eyes your face

-laughs at any mention of truama he may have "oh darling you and your worry" he'd coo brushing it off denying it but his first of rage of his power being slightly taken down and the sobbing he'd do in the locked bathroom not wanting you to see him "be so womenly" as he'd say and deny him ever doing so

-never bring up therapy not after murkoff not if you want your neck to be bruise freed and not having things like whore shouted I'm your face he already escaped he isn't going back even if its healthy therapy he so desperately needs

-just be a good lil house wife wearing his 50's themed dresses with a tight chinched waist and bright heels

-if you want his comfort his hugs and praises to be wrapped up in his arms safe from his rage on his lap as be absently plays with your hair on the couch while he sings that dreaded song you'll just gave to submit to be his helpless lil wife

-he's constantly ogling you he loves his darling wife figure every curve and bump on her skin but really being able to grab and grope you makes him feel so strong and powerful able to bend you to his will

-he'll love dressing you like your his 1950's house wife prancing over in your low neckline tight waist dress with the cute patten sleeves and the long hem that twirls so gracefully with you as you take off his work jacket as you kiss his cheek so happy to have your protector and provider back home as your proudly tell him what roast or casserole you made so lovingly after dinner

-whats his job oh he'll just laugh "oh it isn't a woman's place to worry just know it gives us enough" he'll say proudly proud to provide for his family

-outside of work when he isn't constantly hovering over you singing songs and making sexist remarks as he rubs your waist while telling you how much he loves your child bearing hips he'll be in his office making you more dresses with bright colours and playful patterns his favorite being fruit ones of your lucky you can catch a glimpse of him making a lovely button up dress with a flowing skirt covered in a lemon pattern under the bright yellow ribbon while your cherry patterned dress hung off you while you wipe your hands off on your apron from doing the dishes

-only a peak though as he open the doors briefly he'll see you trying to Leer in and would chuckle and pat your head "such a impatient minx so excited for your husband spoils" but he'll always keep the door closed he hates being watched as he works that's what would lead to him being preyed on as a child when he was coloring or doing homework on the dinner table

-though sometimes he'll grow frustrated saying be can't get the shape and design to elevate but not overpower his wife's beauty but your starting to believe it's more sadistic from how his eyes gleam with how you jumped or yelp when pricked with a needle or how hungry his eyes were when there was a prick of blood as he comforts you scolding his big clumsy hands he loves the comforting you even if it's from his own mistakes or abuse it made him feel big

-also the possessiveness he has scared of the life he always dreamed of and daydreamed of his darkness moments scared some animal undeserving of the wife he sculpted to be perfection would be torn away

-because of that all his dresses will have his name sewn inside the hem to determine any dirty dogs who managed to lift it

-not like you ever manage to go out alone he'll say something sly like "what husband will I be letting a vulnerable minx like you put you need your husband to protect you" its somewhat true but he'll also be giving any man who glances at you the dirtiest angriest glare while his arm wrapped around your waist tightened so scary that the poor teenage cashier didn't dare make eye contact

-though sometimes when he's out at work you'll go out not wanting to wait till the evening to go out and to likely be turned down eith how tired he is from work and how he just needs his wife's cooking and a good foot massage

-one time you got caught when his work let him out early and he was wager to drive home and enter his wife's embrace

-you can't escape his yelling and insults and grip so tight on your wrist it'll bruise but if you simply look down and flutter your eyelashes even after his smack and being called a whore and just tell him that you wanted to get something for dinner and it couldn't wait he'll ease up and blame your woman drive to care for him to overlook your saftey

-if you want to Amp it up just whine and nuzzle into his hand that just hit you and say that you felt nauseous and thought that you finally may be pregnant and you coudnt wait for him to get a pregnancy test and that you also wanted to suprise him it'll quickly put you in his tight embrace and his cooes forgiving you as he goes to clean your wounds

-speaking of kids app sex will have some breeding undertones saying how he'll fill you with his seed and how goof of a mother you'll be

-it's not just cause he so desperately wants a family or a breeding kink but to him it gives the filthy whoreish act meaning and makes it a beautiful step to creating his legacy unlike past acts as a child

-also constantly being called a whore one time you wanted extra good wife points you dressed up in lingeri and the whole time he was slamming into you he was calling you a whore for seducing such a good man like him

-but after he'll grumbled under his breath about you never doing it again

-after sex he'll do his best for aftercare gently wiping you clean and kissing you softly and praising how good of a wife and hopefully if it takes a good mother but you need to praise him

-tell him how good he did and how good of a husband he is and how happy you are to have him and how you love his loyalty just praise sex is vulnerable even more to him and he needs to feel safe after and during

-because of this never try to be a top or play a more dominant role any ask will get you a dangerous glare and a flat out no and if you do something that he sees as you trying to take a lead like riding him and other things it'll instantly stop and he'll get up and go to the kitchen to open some wine accident or not give him space and apologize for acting so whorish and praising him even more

-don't ever try and take the lead without him knowing in a drastic way (not just cause of lack of consent on his part) but as soon as his arms or tied or blindfolded he freaks like in the beginning of whistle-blower screaming and kicking till the restraint is off and the moment your in his line of sight his hands are suffocating you and things hit the walls shattering if you survive you'll forever be labeled a ungrateful whore in his eyes and if he manages to control his urge to string you up to the ceiling like in the gym you'll be locked outside without a word

-short case don't

[beesmygod]

i think another issue with webcomics having any scene or being taken seriously at all is that its a lot of stale air, everybody got captured by ig/twitter/tumblr and subsequently become trapped in the trappings and style of those websites. all discussion is couched in the boring 'fandom' subculture on websites with pre-built in infinite scroll and shit search, so updates to their comics or body of work are just as ephemeral as posts that are basically 'lol i farted on my dog' and any criticism is 'just being mean' or 'dogpiling on a poor artist'. not to mention any discoverability of anything new is basically going down the twitter/instagram likes of 'known quantities' for your own comic taste because of how atrophied any discussion around the medium has become

I dont see any way to escape this beyond social media dying a brutal and unprofitable death

trying to argue against the webtoons/IG model was entirely pointless the few times i tried, but its a topic that's hard for me to not devolve into frustrated sputtering about. it's so obviously antithetical to the purpose of making art, enjoying things, creation, joy, goodness, etc. and i would, frankly completely irrationally, be framed as someone who had it out for vertical strips. a sentiment which makes no sense unless you assume im the biggest moron and dipshit in the world. im sure arguing against someone is easier when the position you saddle them with is a seriously stupid one.

the inevitable downward spiral of these platforms feels entirely predictable. any model that revolves around quantity over quality is an obviously flawed one in most circumstances but when applied to art its completely absurd. the ideal artist for these websites are people who have no interest in contributing to a vaster landscape of complex works and instead are hyper-focused on being part of a large scale skinner box experiment for adults with compulsive spending issues. the artists themselves have severe numbers poisoning.

these are purely ephemeral and unremarkable comics that are rarely ever seen outside of instagram for their lack of any exceptional or worthwhile unique elements worth passing around. they are created with a factory mindset; crank them out as quickly as possible and flood various websites with the comic equivalent of grey goo in order to amass the maximum number of clicks. their ideal audience is undiscerning and simply looking for stimuli that will not challenge them on any level. logically it follows that is work is explicitly for the largest possible audience one can acquire: the lowest common denominator. they are making work for a computer or an advertiser to enjoy. human enjoyment is secondary.

the unironic and sincere discussion of views and followers as if the numbers have ever been real was surreal. everyone was around for when facebook revealed that it had been grossly inflating its video metrics after strong-arming everyone into moving to video, causing the destruction of several indie companies and websites. you would have to be straight up delusional to think the webtoons numbers are real. like, it is genuinely hard for me to be nice about people who bark bark bark about "its where the audience is!!!!" when the worst comic you've ever read with 2 updates has 12876492375238576 views, 0 patreon followers and 8909 comments. the obviously AI generated comments by accounts with no profiles (as in, you can't click on profiles at all to confirm its even a real person commenting) are beyond the pale lol. its some emperors new clothes shit, if the emperor made his own invisible clothes and cried about how hard they toiled for nothing. and also they were emperor of synecdoche, new york

how does a reasonable adult look at this and conclude its real? isn't it an obvious fiction? its because it's mean to point out otherwise, and being mean is the worst thing you can be.

people used to bitch about how the "had to" made reels and i felt like i was going insane. superstitious nonsense about "the algorithm" spread and has incited people to tortuously warp their work to fit with advertising standards they don't see a penny of, in the hopes of finding an audience that doesn't exist. when the algorithm changes to better suit advertiser needs, they are somehow blindsided and betrayed by this, as if it has not been the M.O. of social media websites for the past 20 years. they will do it again. and again. and again. as advertising becomes less and less financially viable and more and more intrusive, public opinion is going to turn hard on the people who tied themselves to these ships.

call me a rat for fleeing, but i can't bear to entertain this stuff anymore. it's embarrassing, the idea of sacrifice in the name of a greater good (sacrifice being uhhhhh not using fail platforms lol) should not be such a shocking and radical act. it should be reflexive

[grapecaseschoices]

Hey!🎄💚🍝😓 for Val and/or Kendis? But take all the time you need to reply 💕

details about ocs!

thanks lovely!

🎄 CHRISTMAS TREE — what is your oc's favorite holiday?

Kendis: Fun fact, I was thinking about this the other day. Windows likes to pop up in their search section with different holidays, and it reminded me of a thing Kendis used to do when I rp'd them -- In short, the most obscure holidays or national days Kendis would post about them. They knew about donut day or like national friendship day or international pancake day ... black love day!, and so on. Some times they would inform about the history and stuff. She would also be the sort to make a big deal about somewhat known but not as commercialized holidays. Mardi Gras? Arbor Day? Don't worry Kendis got your back. Just a fun tidbit

Kendis' favorite holiday probably is something like National Forest Day, roflmao. I don't remember if I really gave them one. Kendis even likes Easter and they're agnostic. I feel any holiday that its culturally acceptable for them to participate and has festivities attached to it, she was down for. I won't lie tho. Christmas probably Gets Focus the most out of all the holidays, but when they're near their loved ones.

Val: Hmm. I almost went with Christmas but I think I'm going to say Halloween. I think Christmas might make Val sad. But Halloween is fun, full of mischief and pranks and people judge you less for slacking off [I mean for Christmas they to but ... yeah]. I think Val would be partial to holidays where people are rowdy -- to the point they'd probably consider superbowl a holiday. Making fun of drunk people is a pastime. It also gets them out the station.

💚 GREEN HEART — does your oc prefer being inside or outside?

Kendis: I suppose both is cheating. So, I'm going to say outside. Their og!mom is a park ranger and I tend to have Kendis' from Montana; the famed Big Sky Country. If I remember correctly, I believe I've said Kendis knows how to ride a horse. They definitely learned to shoot; probably to use a knife and fish as well. If it is nature affiliated, Kendis adores it. I often have Kendis roaming about in woods - that's why qunari Kendis and dragon kendis have halla and deer type horns. Kendis' prefered mode of transportation are their feet and bikes [Bicycle Day is April 19th! ;-P]. Yeah, actually, I think going with 'outside' suits their curious nature well. Even when in a city - especially in a new place - Kendis enjoys being out and about; finding hole-in-the-wall places to eat, searching for the best thrift stores, chatting with and minding their business people, and so on.

Val: I almost went outdoors, but I would say indoors. I don't think Val goes out much, at least not in Wayhaven. They don't want to sit still nor do they want to do paperwork, but I don't think that means they want to be out and about just to be out and about. I say indoors, but they have to be doing something, I feel. Val's preferred time off is working on bikes -- motorcycles, mopeds, and the like.

🍝 SPAGHETTI — what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?

Kendis: They just like to eat? I honestly don't remember ... actually, no. Kendis loves gumbo. I think that is One Of their favorites

Val: does a monster count? lol. Maybe a hot dog? Actually, I think I'm going to say cheetos. I feel Val likes something they can probably quickly open with one hand [and some teeth] and chow down as easily; so I think like popcorn, etc. Something probably unhealthy for them if they eat continuously. Honestly a shock that they dont have scurvy ....

😓 DOWNCAST FACE WITH SWEAT — is your oc open-minded or stubborn? are they inquisitive or do they prefer to keep to their bubble of knowledge?

Kendis: Kendis is both the bullet train and the impending wall. Kendis is open-minded in a sense that if you can challenge them or pique their curiosity you might have a chance of shifting them off track; it is hard for them to resist a dare and they're nosy. Actually, I feel Kendis' sense of "open-mindedness" is like A's ... stubborn as all heck but not against being pushed or shifting what they know with different information. Though, with Kendis I feel they're more inclined at digging their heels when they feel 'in their gut' something is off. Maybe if they were 900+ years old they would be more bendable. lmao. So basically that is my long winded way of saying Kendis is stubborn af. LMAO. As for the second question, Kendi is actually quite inquisitive lmao. I think it works out for Kendis the balance [though not always evenly balanced] of 'immovable object' type of stubbornness vs their 'unstoppable force' of a curiosity is that Kendis is a compassionate creature. So, lmao, the thing that gets her shifting her views about people [in minuscule steps] is sympathy. As for objects and topics, it is in fact that they're kinda know-it-all. Imagine if some bitch ass punk they hated caught them with a n ignorant view and embarrassed them?? Ooo wee. Never gonna happen. So, I guess in short -- Kendis' pride is the fuel but also the stopper of their stubbornness lmao.

Val: Val is stubborn. It is hard to get Val to shift certain perspectives and beliefs. This is why they still radiate with dislike for Rebecca at a level - at times - that feels like they're still the child that was hurt. It is to the point that I'm actually surprised that they forgave Adam for the kiss and wants to fight for him - they tend, I feel, against things that damage their self value. I think when they have a case, they go in ... actually, I feel they sort of go in empty. I think maybe they want to know as little as possible if they need to be at site. Because otherwise they would go in with preconceived notions.

[zooophagous]

its almost as if all dogs take time and effort to train and the fact theyre sentient living animals that need time to learn doesn't make you a bad owner. really, dont you know good owners unlock telepathy on day one?!

people rarely understand that the definition of 'too many' varies by a lot. its clear your animals are well cared for and you can handle another- their coats look fantastic (when applicable.. sorry nadja) and if egon wasnt thriving here then that piss problem wouldve never gotten under control in the first place.

dont mind the anons that dont know how animal keeping actually works. everybody has different limits and yours not being 1 and a half doesnt actually mean anything.

Yeah I mean, I'm under no illusion that having a puppy is easy. Dogs are work. Having a dog has been more work than just about any other pet. They're needy. I am, however, pretty confident in my ability to cope with that chaos.

I have the option to take time off as needed, and I already walk Egon 5 to 6 times a day, and Egon loves other dogs. Adding a puppy won't be easy but it's going to be more of "I need time and patience to adjust" and less of "my life is in complete shambles."

If I was still working as a graphic designer there's no way in Hell I'd get a puppy but I'm sort of in charge of my own destiny now. I'm pretty confident that it's a level of challenge I can rise to.

one thing that i never see people talk about when it comes to why indie animation is more popular than hollywood and what they're pumping out and their animation is one very extremely crucial thing that i think people overlook a lot of the time because you never really realize it.

fandom.

indie animation understands fandom so much better than bigger and more corporate companies ever had, its why netflix keeps cancelling their shows because theyre 'not good enough'. they dont understand fandom at all or how to appeal to it.

whenever something in hollywood gets popular its for two reasons and the second one is almost always something that they do on accident. the first reason is that it's a genuinely good or at least okay movie or show. it doesnt matter whether or not its something that knocks your socks off because the next reason is arguably the more important thing. the second reason is that they appeal to the fandom, they get people crazy over their concept or their movie and then the fandom does all the marketing themselves

the second reason is why so many good or okay hollywood movies just stay good or okay, they dont know how to appeal to the fandom, to get someone to glorify their movie. to make at least one or two characters or a special dynamic that'll make people want more. it doesn't even have to be of the actual plot because guess what? fuck the plot. they want the characters

sure the world and plot add to it but i bet you if you took your favorite dynamic and put them in any setting you'd want that. maybe have them go on a train to another country, bake something together, adopt a dog, people will come for the plot and world but they'll only stay for the characters and indie animation gets this

im 90% sure that almost all indie animation characters have interacted with their fandom in some way shape or form and that allows them to get an understanding of whats working, whats not, what needs to change, and what's popular

actually this is kinda was anime and manga does, especially since chapters are released weekly (depends though) the author can see the fans and how they take in their works and write accordingly to promote their work. not to mention that in anime the main focus of it typically tends to be the characters. in hxh the main focus is of the main group and what they do and the goals they have. in death note its about an egotistic maniac and a detective who both want to challenge each other to prove that theyre greater. in mha its about a kid who wants to become a hero but cant, then he's able to and it goes from there along with learning that the villains themselves have backstories

fandom doesnt get attached to plot as much as it will the characters. sure plot and theories sure as hell help a lot and things such as gravity falls does show this but the characters themselves are also interesting. it doesnt matter how convoluted a plot is and how much of a masterpiece it is if someone doesnt care about the characters

and hollywood doesnt wanna make good characters and its because of this that they dont understand how fandom works and why so many people care dont about their film and such. indie animation on the other hand has interacted with their fans and is still actively interacting with them and seeing their love towards these characters and adding more to it.

honestly i could go on and on about how hollywood doesnt understand fandom and how thats just one of its many major downfalls but this is quite long so... bye!!

its so funny working in customer service especially technical repair because with how long troubleshooting can take it gives me opportunity to gossip with my customers like example,

1. (Wife calls because after husband clicks virus link in the computer, they got it cleaned up and back home, however they cant connect it to the internet anymore no matter how many times we try) during the call she plans to strangle her husband, we commiserated of the long day and how we both need a good wine to drink, we talked about God and his plan for people, (how she wasnt joking about strangling her husband) , how I should find a husband for myself to strangle, and how i say that as long as her husband is into that why not. Our call lasted over an hour and I did overtime because of it.

(“Maam please dont strangle your husband” “Wait I just remembered what he did, never mind, go on” - Actual words I said, You ever wonder what my trainer thought or coworkers thought when i said that?)

2. Japanese man at 86 years old needs to change password and often times old customers need to write down their password so they wont forget, this man claims he has never forgotten a thing in his life, I am Rightfully jealous and asks his secrets, He never tells me.

(Ill find out one day, just you see)

3. Woman calls of how she has her new tv because her old one was acting up and she needed assistance with connecting with the internet, technician was on the scene to set it up and connect it himself without any help, I have 45 minutes time to kill so I ask what her accent was, I thought she was spanish, she was actually greek and as one does I ask her to teach me a word in her language, Bad Word ofcourse no question about that, She says to tell men “Malaka!” and theyll know. I receive a survey after and it makes my day because she says I was calm and patient and polite and guided her step by step.. All we did was learn how to swear.

(Im teaching that word to everyone i know at work, and making it a challenge to ask one bad word from everyone I can)

4. Had a customer who has the gruffest man voice and his name is Chip. I tell him his name is cute. He laughs and says nobody ever told him that. I ask if he looks intimidating, He Laughs and laughs and says goodbye.

(Its so silly how he was just asking when the internet will come back and it actually just did while we were on call, I hope he remembers that his name is really cute)

5. ( I take down notes throughout the call to help me remember details important like what the issue was, how it was resolved and contact details and so on and see if they were good calls or bad ones) An old woman calls and she needs help with her bill, during the call she tells me of how she lives in a large victorian house with 14 rooms, she keeps all her papers and receipts, she married twice and how she lost her first husband to cancer and she loved him from highschool till the end, she remarries with a man who has lost his wife to cancer just the same and they found love and a second chance with each other with their sweet honeymoon and vacations, she lost him too and has his Beautiful Grand Piano in her living room to reminisce him by even when she doesnt know how to play, she only has a sweet sassy cat and her silly sweet dog to keep her company. (Notes are mostly serious things, but often times, when one has adhd and there is no structure, silly notes are noted down.) I took note of before we said goodbye I asked her what her baby pets names are, The Dog is called Dory like finding dory, and the cat who she wanted to name lucky but never answered to it, was then named Kitty Meow Meow.

(I didnt take note of all the details but remembered it at the top of my head, but reviewing my notes and seeing a random dory and kitty meow meow withing notes of numbers and issues still made me laugh, I hope she finds love still for the third time)

6. I had a woman give me a positive survey because she laughed so hard on the call when I tried to Tempt her to the dark side (Company name) and to think about it in a silly voice.

(My coworkers always find me ridiculous with how often I end up laughing with my customers on call)

7. A man calls because he just started gaming and planning on streaming and the wifi plan was too slow for what he wanted, during the call i find an artist who did mosaics with glass and he started because of a chance he had when he was given discarded glass in highschool, found he did burning art and other mediums too, his family are artist, his uncle makes awesome taxidermy from their hunts, and he uses skulls to make mosaics too, he said he dont post online but he plans on starting soon, so i hope he really does.

(now i know how people feel when they said as an artist we should share what we make cuz i actually wanna see Art! His Art! ltd be so cool.)

8. One lady tells me she walks her husband every afternoon and we had to end the call early because we didnt want her to miss their daily walks.

9. My first ever customer (when i still had to ask my trainer to give me five minutes to get myself together and my hand still felt so clumsy and frozen and nervous) was that of a man who is calling for his moms services because i found out that his mom was incapacitated and when i told him that i hope his mom gets better, he says that it was already too far gone…

(I hope she slept peacefully and hope he does too)

10. A customer my age calls, (a welcome surprise! its often old customers) a black woman, who tell me she just moved in with her boyfriend, but just last valentines (a week before her call) on her way there, she gets tboned in an intersection during a yellow light and crashes her car, I tell her to go to the hospital fr.

(She says she fine,we hoped she just didnt jinx herself cuz id be so mad, I wished i could talk with her more but thats really not allowed and would be weird, “Hey this is (phone name) from ( company) Did you go to the hospital like you promised?)

(Coworker was listening and chokes when i tell customer in our goodbye to always watch out if the boyfriend does anything bad)

(Can never know what comes out of my calls, often its just laughing)

11. Customer who gave me a positive survey and made my day, was a civil engineer who was so pleasant to talk to and so patient, he tells me to continue how Im going with my calls and for sure no customer will get mad or irate.

(He made my day, I hope he has great projects to come)

Moving on, people are so darn interesting and it helps that I only have to work with their voice and im always left curious of how they actually looked like. This job just tickles my adhd brain just right with the spontaneous people and interactions and never the same thing everyday while the autism finds how nice it is to have structure in the schedule, how it feed my nightowliness due to timezone, and rules and expectations are clear.

Call center customer service is tiring but gods am i getting paid to do what I already do and considered as unhealthy habits before.

(Also guys just to note that every interaction with customer service, they have a survey sent to your message to rate it 0 to 10, tale that opportunity to rate them, especially if the issue is resolved but i want you guys to be aware of the metrics, 0-6 is HORRIBle score and we are either shouted at, nagged or questioned why this happened. 7-8 is passive and Would bring our scores down which just sad. 9-10 is BETS YES! We clebrate each one because its our pay on the line and our job. So please in this capitalistic empire please remember that surveys does not affect the company but it does the agents job. So if the issue is resolved or you just feel petty against the company and atleast want someone to actually get paid what the capitalist company owes them for customer service. Use the survey and put 10. Just a few minutes is all it take. Dont do 0 -6 cuz that just makes the company happy. Less agent to pay and hire if need be. If you want tot alk shit of the company, rate the agent 10 and put it in the verbatim how you hate the company but not the agent and the agent doesnt need to be brought down to being abused by both the company and the customer)

( Im glad I havent gotten a zero yet but gurl i fear it everyday, coworkers cried because they only ever get surveys when its bad and never when its good, A Simple thankyou would do so much in this cuthroat world, cuz theres no one else who’ll help you but each other.)

the western dbz fandom has got to be the worst fandom ever

i just see people complaining that daima is not super and its like...i dont get it. its like being served a delicious burger and going "you know what, id rather actually just have a dog turd"

i think the u.s. starting with dbz irreparably damaged how the series is seen here; too many fans only care about the next multicolored transformation and nonsensical power progression because even though Dbz isn't that at all, without the adventurous setting and background that dragon ball introduced, that's how its seen.

dbz lampshades the whole transformation thing because even though it introduces a lot of them, super saiyan 1 is the only one that does any work for a majority of the series. the series final battle ENDS with goku going super saiyan 1 and throughout a lot of the series, its mastering that form that matters above all else. the others are either gimmicks and/or one offs. but i guess fans just took every transformation way too seriously.

and then super just...goes banana shoes with the transformations and completely shatters its own worldbuilding. you introduce the strongest character in the entire series with beerus at the very beginning. well..goku has to have a way to SORT of match him, so he gets super saiyan god. well now, youve introduced a huge problem. who could possibly stand up to goku at this point? he was already the strongest in the universe and now hes like a billion times stronger than that. well...you just introduce a bunch of new universes where lots of people are apparently that strong now, continuously and nonsensically increase the strength of beerus since they wrote themselves into a goddamn corner and bring back old ass villains from the dead and be like "he did some push-ups and now he's caught up to everyone"

and despite ALL of that, continue to introduce more and more and more multicolored transformations that are stronger than the last, but not stronger than beerus for some reason. jiren is stronger than a god of destruction? goku beats jiren with his ultimate transformation? what do you mean he's still weaker than beerus? freeza did 10 more push-ups and now hes WAY stronger than goku's ultimate form...the one that beat the dude that is supposed to be stronger than a god of destruction? man f**k you.

on the other hand you have dragon ball daima, which is not doing any of that shit, one because it's supposed to take place before super, giving it a hard limit (thank GOD) with the transformations and because it's generally slower paced and actually taking its time to flesh out its worldbuilding, unlike super. it puts a lot of weight and respect on even just the regular super saiyan form.

you still have the issue of "how do you challenge the strongest dude in the universe" which is tackled in episode one. make him a kid. introduce a new world where the atmosphere slows everything down. done. goku still is stronger than MOST of the challenges put in front of him, but he does have to work a little bit for the bigger threats, while setting up a reasonable way to challenge him for real down the road. it feels like they actually tried to come up with a solution rather than super's "everyones just as strong as gods for no reason."

they also approach the teased big bad in a smart way. who is the last villain that gave goku trouble? majin boo, who he couldn't beat with his raw power alone. so why not go that route again? you have arinsu trying to recreate some sort of boo like being ALONG with having a backup plan with the dragon balls. is bringing a new version of boo a little derivative? sure, they did that with android 21 who was an amalgamation of cell and boo, but at least in daima's context, it absolutely works because of the lore and groundwork they laid beforehand.

with all that said, seeing fans shit on daima because there isnt...ultra instinct super mega perfected times 10 form or vegeta's VERY royal blue and purple form or freeza black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow, is infuriating. like, why? that shit is so boring. and the fights in super were TERRIBLE. daima has had less than 10 episodes and i think it has already topped the best that super offered in terms of fight scene creativity and fun. Daima is also expanding dragon ball's lore in a way that feels organic to what was always already there vs the god of destructions/angels/multiverse shit that super threw in.
