Oh the temptation to write a Resistance fic where Kudo learns to take care of a baby during terrible times

[voparwave69]

@EVERYONE ! THE EGG HAS HATCHDE! Look at who was inside! 🥳

🥛🤰🏻(<- that's Egguius drinking from his trough to help him lay more eggse!)

To the untrained eye, it may seem Egguius has somply abandoned his young. And while you are partially right, he has, and he doesn't want to ever see Gamzees face ever again, but,

look closer.

Do you see it?...

The nourishment.

Furstly, that green crap on Gamzeez body?

Yeah, that's slime.

What's so special about slime you ask? Whatever, trolls sleep in it and eat it. Bit u see, where did the slime come from?

That's right --

The egg.

Egguius grew 👏 that 👏 slime 👏 in his own smol bean body. His own egg womb produced it, like gsmzee will later produce pies in the oven. He was in a state of intoxication the whole time from his own slime cells, all for this egg! (It's called "Egg Madness" in Alternian culture).

And now let's look at the rest of the nourishment -- milk, faygo, corrn dog.

W

hat's so special about that?

Well first off, the mulk, yes, onciously it is from Egguius. His left beeast--

And the fatgo?

From his right breast! 🤯

Yes! That's right --

Egguius began lactating Faygo just for Fetus Gamzee. 🤱🏻

The cirn dog may seem quite ordinary. But notice it's color...

Blue!? 🤨

That is becayse is from Egguius' flesh!

WOW. Just freaking wow. Motheehood for the win. Way to go Egguius! 🏆 🙌 💪 👏 😎 ✨

my eyeballs hurt so bad man i'm so over this biome

Lessons about dogs from my toddler:

D is for Dog, but anything that barks is a puppy. (This is not wrong)

The below specimen is also a puppy

Again, the child is not wrong.

[mrspockify]

I need a good cry but I can’t decide what sad movie or tv episode to make me do it

[roofermadness]

so this is kinda petty because it doesn't hurt anybody and seems to warm people's hearts, but i hate those posts where they're like "this dog got to meet their favorite character/toy" because the dog has no idea that's how you perceive someone dressed up in a costume. they just think oh wow a human in a really weird outfit! this is a new experience! i enjoy new experiences because i am a predator!

idk anthropomorphizing dogs just bothers me as someone who raises and trains them

[dirtytransmasc]

So in the ask about the rogue recoms turned sleeper agents, what if they end up saving Roa and her calf?.

Scoresby is tired of moving them around so it forces them to allow him some time to hunt before they return to their mission if they don't want to get kicked out of the ship, but once Quaritch sees her doing everything she can to stay with her calf even when they are hurting her he can't stand to watch and starts breaking shit, the rest of the recoms follow him and everyone flies away without major issues after destroying any ship that could follow them.

Roa returns to Ronal days later, she is alive but still injured and it's then that they learn that the recoms saved her life and are hiding somewhere they know, so Tonowari sends some hunters to find them before Ronal goes on her own.

Now the problem is that they don't know what to do about them, Jake and Neytiri have been warning them about not trusting the recombinants since they started leaking information to them, but to the Metkayina they had just saved a Tsahik's spirit sister, and the problems grow larger once the kids learn that they still had Spider.

yeah, the scientist starts opening his mouth about sentience and intelligence, watching this creature who may be more alive then them, fight to protect her baby at any and all costs. he can't let it happen, it makes him feel sick before the hunt even begins, but seeing it, hearing her pain, as she urges her baby to follow.

he wants to set the place on fire.

he doesn't let them kill her, he and his team serve as enough of a distraction for her and her baby to get away. he breaks the tracking system so she can't be followed if they fail to kill each and every one of those assholes for what they did.

and there's a split second where he gets close to her and her baby, and he can't speak, but they both look at each other for a moment, he holds out his hand, showing his for fingers, before nodding her off. she knows what he is, she can hopefully tell her people what is happening.

after that him and his squad, with the help of spider, spread the news of war to the villages, warning the tulkun, and eventually ending up in tonowari and ronals village, finding roa and her calf both made it into the reef to recover.

jake and neytiri want to skin him alive, but ronal and tonowari both know of what he did not only for roa, but for all of the tulkun and the people of the reef and water.

so they keep him alive, holding jake and neytiri back, and making him and the other recoms prove themselves (more to the sully's than to them, the tulkun are smart and intuitive if they trust them, then ronal and tonowari trust him)

they are indebted to them, and if they have a whole squad of RDA-hating, woken up recoms, that not only have military training, but recent knowledge and information on the RDA, whose empathy made them put targets on their head to protect their people and spirit siblings. they'll take them with no problem.

The Aspiration Legacy Challenge by SmileyFaceSim

DO NOT CLAIM THIS AS YOUR OWN! I worked very hard on this so at least give me credit for what I've created.

Please let me know if things should be changed or added, just don't be mean.

Hey everyone,

I've created this challenge for a few reasons:

1. I couldn't find a similar challenge about the aspirations

2. I barely play through the aspirations unless I need reward points or if a challenge goal tells me to complete it

3. My personal gameplay doesn't usually include completing aspirations

Completing one aspiration in one generation would be too easy and a bit boring so I added some goals to make things a bit more interesting.

I hope you'll love this challenge as much as I loved creating it and I hope you'll find fun in playing through the generations and maybe find new ways to play ur discover new aspects of certain packs.

Love ya,

SmileyFaceSim

GENERAL RULES AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1.Money

Your founder starts out with 0 simoleons

All other gens will randomize a number between 0 and 3000 to start out with. They get this money from their parents when they move out

2.Living

Your founder can live where ever they want unless the goals say differently

Your gens can't live in the same world for 2 generations in a row

You can move at any time but you can't use money cheats for it

Poor Chipmunk

Our dog caught a chipmunk and was carrying it around, alive, in the woods. She would let the chipmunk go, chase it a little, then pick it up again.

Our cat showed up, probably attracted by the screams of terror from the chipmunk. She also helped chase the chipmunk around, though she mostly watched the dog with cold amusement. She has done this before; I have witnessed her catch a mouse, bring it alive to the dog for a toy, and then lay down nearby to watch the dog play with it.

In any case: by this point, the chipmunk was visibly injured. And yet somehow it managed to zigzag escape the predators and scamper about 15 feet up a tree. It clung to the trunk, chittering angrily at the cat and dog below.

The dog tried climbing the tree, an attempt both comical and pointless. The cat, an experienced climber, was poised to ascend when unexpectedly a hawk swooped out of the woods, plucked the chipmunk off the tree in its talons, and flew back into the woods to devour its prey.

We watched all of this Animal Planet footage unfold live from the back deck at the same time our teenagers were having a discussion with us about various aspects and experiences of dating.

"Well, it's kind of like the experience of that chipmunk," said our 18-year-old. I'm pretty sure he was mostly joking. Mostly.

bsd season 4 ep 1 appreciation post or smth

him?? he's so babyy? I mean he's 30 something, but look at him. look at those eyes, that expression. could those belong to a middle aged man. look at his hair. it's just fucking drifting slowly in the air like falling petals or some shit. he's just there, just existing.
