My dad was very against me getting a dog and then IMMEDIATELY fell in love with her. Like he absolutely adores her. He started off like 'uggh I don't want to end up having to take care of it' and now he REQUESTS to babysit her every couple weeks or so just for fun. He will just sit there petting her and chuckling and saying "She just makes me laugh :)" to himself. He calls himself her 'grandpa'. The bond between an aging father and the pet he didn't want is probably the deepest love on earth.

big debate in the office today as to how to avoid food smell from getting around the house while you cook. consensus was "brick the kitchen and anyone who is cooking in it". margaret, i'm not going to expend time, resources, and effort in this short life to put up the elaborate fiction that I do not, in fact, live in the house that I actually reside in. i'm sorry you've been taught to attach shame to regular human activities but i will be cooking and eating inside my house

@bloodxhound​ sent in: [ word of advice ; self-defense lesson < 3 ] “If you wanna throw a proper punch, you gotta put your whole body in it—not just your arms. Try again, but this time start the punch with your feet. Pivot on your back leg an’ twist your hips into the punch. That’s how you make it powerful.” || advice that’ll go for miles ( ft. word of advice meme. )

In all technicalities, this is all SUKI’S DOING. Since most of their work is done in the lab, forensics don’t have a physical to pass, unlike the detectives and police officers with their yearly examination. It makes sense, really- considering the kinds of witnesses that take the stand, being physically fit is almost a necessity if the court hopes to get any kind of progress done. And knowing what more often than not happens in these trials, Suki is more than happy to let detectives like Ray take the reins in these situations. 

That and she knows. Has heard the rumors and perhaps when she isn’t too engrossed in her papers, has seen firsthand the kind of…taskmaster he is when it comes to training. For someone who commits vandalism often enough, Detective Barlowe is quite regimented when comes to keeping in shape. Not that she’s seen him at the GYM ( a place Suki herself would never step foot in voluntarily ), but considering that when she has seen his desk, the gym bag is always there…she can’t imagine him bringing it along just for show.

That being said though. 

Her hands aching, she glares at the punching bag she’s been ‘sparring’ for the past half hour or so. It would be safe to say, the bag is ‘winning’ thus far since it has barely moved an inch, let alone made a sound. Her arms are also aching and the rest of her body feels like lead. Is this supposed to be the end result of a gym session? 

( If it is, how is that supposed to be ENJOYABLE? )

A foot nudges her feet into what Ray deems as proper stance- which makes no sense to Suki by the way. If the point of throwing a punch is to use one’s arm, why does footwork matter? Spy x Family made it seem so much easier…Nevertheless, after a few practice strokes with her leg and arm, she pivots with her back leg and follows through from her hips to her hand throwing the punch. The movement foreign to her, she stumbles a step before in the aftermath…but it’s accompanied by the sound of a punching bag groaning. It swings a little more unhinged than in the aftermath of her previous attempts. 

With bright eyes, she turns excitedly toward Ray.

“I did it!”

Ppl who prefer cats/ don’t like dogs are always like “oh you just don’t understand cats, you don’t know how to interact w them bc you’re thinking of them in the context of dogs, you’re triggering the cat by sitting or breathing wrong, if it attacks you while you’re leaving it alone it’s your fault” and then they’re also like “lmao when you throw a fucking dog head first across the room bc you’re used to cats and forget you can’t do that 🤪” double ass standards

[whimsicalcotton]

need. to draw timber and misty racing each other/roughhousing/ playfully biting each other but specifically in human form. bc for them to love is to indulge in the inner animal and share its joy. yknow. Yknow.
