Season Six, Episode Ten: Riders On The Storm
Taking a break for Christmas after this so I can watch some movies and stuff, then I'll hit the last 10 between Christmas and New Year.
So who's even left at this point? Scott, Lydia, Malia, Liam, and now Stiles? That's it?
Didn't they stop filming the season for a while at some point, so DOB could come back? So like, Theo's hair is really long when he gets out of the Hunt, among other things.
Ominous ticket board is ominous.
Well this is heartbreaking.
And he came back in Roscoe instead of the forest because...dramatic effect, presumably?
Uh. Who put those there? That's some speedy construction.
"A Stiles?" - Yesssssss
Yeah, you can tell there's been a time jump behind the scenes, DOB looks different. His hair's longer, and his face is a little chunkier.
Ooh, green fire. Parrish got a Wild Hunt upgrade.
This is the Corey-is-a-machine bit, isn't it? Time for pain.
That's Corey's voice!
Parrishtinguished.
Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow? Or divert the tracks, same thing.
Corey is the VIP for this episode, I'm calling it now. He's the key here.
"Wanna split up?" "Never again." <3
Theooooooo. They probably let him out for being too much of a bastard and annoying them all tbh.
Liam, comedy genius.
"Welp, guess everyone dies." - Speaking of comedy genius.
Malia's never called Peter 'dad' before, has she? That's why it works this time, especially since there really isn't an emotional connection there other than mutual irritation.
Should Liam not be...on fire? Or is the rift just wide open now?
Pfft, gone again, well done Stiles.
I guess because the worlds are merging it makes less difference. Same reason why Scott and Stiles don't end up in the train station.
Is Peter in 6B? I feel like he isn't, or not much if he is.
There's that blue hallway again.
Unnecessary flippy shit, my one true love.
Oh Corey, sweetie.
Puppy Pack reunited though.
Stiles with a gun to his head in a locker room. We've been here before.
Yesssss Lydia!
"I didn't say it back." "You didn't have to." - :')
What's the point of having ghostly cowboys if you're not gonna have a Mexican standoff?
Woooo, snog time!
"That was so hot!" - Melissa, oh my god lmao.
"You would have made an excellent Nazi youth." - He's Latino, so I doubt it, but also, what a fucking insult.
Fake Claudia making one last attempt at being a horrible cow.
Ew, that make-up's not...nice...
"No one likes a Nazi." - Line of the episode.
You lose, you Nazi scumbag.
Scott doesn't have his split fangs any more? Aww.
Banshee scream powered bullet? Now that's what I call teamwork.
Someone pushed his luck too far, didn't he? Nazi Ghost Rider is a bad look.
So yeah, Beacon Hills is safe, but won't the Hunt just go take somewhere else? They're not really defeated as much as diverted away from the people we care about.
The Nine Herbs have become a bit of a deus ex machina at this point, haven't they?
Aww, baseball bat bequeathment.
"They'll always need us." - Hell yeah they will. 06x01 callback.
With a little more epilogue, that could have been a series finale tbh. But nope, 10 more episodes to go!
I do hope everyone got to finish college between 06x20 and the movie, they deserve at least that much.

I really liked The Gray Man and I thought CE was excellent in it. After Knives Out and Defending Jacob, I was excited about this new era of his career. But his team proved their incompetence by botching the DJ award show campaign, not being able to pivot in the new Zoom PR world. Then, CE had to fall on Netflix's sword when they decided to release their most expensive movie produced to date at a time when they were jacking up prices on subscribers and putting an end to their once encouraged license sharing. It also didn't help the they have two C-suite representatives listed in the top 10 richest men in the America (with the rest making major bank). And when you look at what Netflix has greenlit, they definitely go for quantity over quality (an annoying theme throughout this tragedy), most of which is absolute garbage (Fish Mouth reference intended).
So when they needed to promote one of their crappy, but cult followed holy series, instead of pooring some actual dollars into marketing it and forcing the "star" to promote it (since they knew she had the personality of a dead skunk on the side of the road) they forced a certain dumb fuck to promote it and said leading lady on his social media (because people paid attention to his posts back then). I even remember seeing an article with the headline that he did more to promote the show than Netflix did. That should have really been enough, but since the little Lolita probably has something on one or more of the can't-keep-it-in-my-pants movers and shakers in this orbit, she did as she was taught and leveraged her sexuality (her true "natural talent") to try to become the "it" girl in Hollywood. CAA wants to expand in Portugal so hey win-win- just convince the good hearted pothead puppy that this will be good to break him out of the internet boyfriend mold and they will give him all the sweet deals.
Fast forward to now. It sure broke him out of the internet boyfriend mold, but it also ruined his (and his family's) reputation as socially conscious citizens since you are the company you keep and she is a racist, antisemetic, entitled, arrogant, childish fatshamer. He and his team used the loyal fans as scapegoats and instead of acting like CE and just being a good boy and taking the abuse, they all peaced out, leaving only bots, clout chasing influencers and people who forgot they were following him (or thought they were following a different Chris). And good luck getting a new fan base because the general public either doesn't know know him, doesn't care or thinks he is super creepy because all they know is his wifey looks like a teenager and this deal has aged him at least 10 years (the Botox only makes it worse by seeming like he is trying to look younger).
Lightyear tanked (although I think his voice work was great. He should do more. I would love if he read audiobooks and things like that, but I digress). Ghosted tanked and as a producer I do put some of the blame on him (I know they have these vanity credits, but as we have seen with "Rust", if it has your name on it, you are responsible). For Pain Hustlers, he once again fell on Netflix's sword and put in an over the top, disingenuous performance for a script and director that quite frankly was offensive to anyone dealing with this kind of addiction in the real world. And let us not forget the future multiple Razzie award winner Red One that will have CE ruining Christmas, just like he did for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day (fucking yuck, man, still have nightmares about that one).
Now we have the CAA projects and can see the screws tightening- a nonsequel to the thoroughly intolerable Drive Away Dolls, Honey, Don't (it could be good or bad that he may only have a small part), the over hyped and under chemistried The Materialists that I already hate and the rumored Sacrific, which sounds like the third in the trilogy of festering turds. Yep, CE got all the best roles for selling his soul.
Meanwhile he looks like his handlers are keeping him in a basement and starving him, only giving him pot (and possible other numbing substance) until it is time to be programmed for set, only to be put back for recharging later.
I hope the paychecks were at least worth it so he can in fact retire, support all the people he seems unwilling to cut loose from his life that are only using him and build that pot pottery shed where he can just sit and bake all day, wasting the opportunities he was given. Opportunities most wait a lifetime working their ass off for and never get to see.
Boy, that was a lot longer than I thought!
Your last ask made me google about his salary and I found out The Gray Man was made on a budget of over 200 million dollars. Sorry, but it did not look like a 200 mil dollar film. Was it a money laundering project? 🤔
It's really difficult to fully figure out where all Netflix budgets go, but just know that the Russo Brothers probably kept a huge chunk of that number to themselves. It's why you do stuff where you can list yourself as the director/producer/writer on the same project.
Also, any time you're doing international on location filming, the price skyrockets.

AS YOUR CLASSMATES // TOKYO JUJUTSU HIGH STUDENTS
amihan's note: here's how i imagine them as the type of classmate based by my friends' chaotic energy. i don't make the rules, they radiate this energy big time, happy reading!
additional note: thank you to the person who reminded me of hakari's academic points, i owe you one 😁💛
Tumblr media
-itadori yuji
deadass copies your homework the same day of passing
"oh we had homework?! can i copy yours" cue his puppy dog eyes
half of the time listening to the lecture, half of the time just doodles in his notebook
if you're his seatmate, oh my good luck
he will try and converse with you every single time during discussion
got called by the teacher, finally pipes down
though, gotta say he will be the type to excel in quizzes!
unexpectedly did well and one of the highest score in class
overall, you like him but hate him at the same time
-fushiguro megumi
oh boy, this guy straight up sleeps at the back of the class
will make you sit in front him so that the teacher won't notice him
[based on true event] came prepared, opens notebook, pen in one hand his head leaning on his other hand looking like he's writing down notes but in reality he's deep asleep
he's just tired, let him be
if you're paired with him, he def cooperates
the goat of groupworks
overall realiable classmate, he's just sleepy
-nobara kugisaki
always comes in class looking pretty!
you forgot your lash curler? she have one. oh you also need mascara? no worries she got you.
will gladly apply light makeup for you
pretty handwriting!!!
she listens attentively during discussion
don't start a conversation with her cause she will not stop once you do
the type to lend you her notes
overall, a sweetheart. love you kugisaki 🥺💛
-zenin maki
she's definitely a braid expert
during break time, you will always see her braiding someone's hair for them
active participation during discussion
top student
always excel at everything
also, always part of the honors list
the one who the teacher's call whenever no one answers
will willingly teach you the lesson you have a hard time understanding
oH the student who lets you copy during quizzes (kids u gotta study for quizzes, don't just copy others... but if you didn't, just ask them)
overall, would make a great study partner and most likely the source of many students
-panda
that one loud ass kid
always yelling during break time
but he's the fun one, will initiate playing a game if no one was doing anything
if he's close with the teacher, he will not answer the question asked seriously instead coming up with something witty and unrelated
ends up getting a warning, but after class the teacher is not really mad at him
vibes with so many teachers
will always make the class laugh with his wittiness
overall, the class clown
-okkotsu yuta
you know the good looking quiet kid that everyone secretly has a crush on? yeah that's him
surprisingly good at drawing, got his time to shine when arts were presented in front
i just know that this boy always carry a handkerchief with him
he always hold it in his hand fiddling with it
sits in front of the class
always being persuaded by the teacher who organizes pageant for the school but always says no bcs he's shy
fun to tease and tell jokes to
when you talk to him he's always laughing
"i didn't even say anything funny" he just smiles fidgeting with his handkerchief, say sorry and tell him a joke now!
overall, a quiet and average student
-inumaki toge
now this bitch, a menace
definitely your friend
"toge can you get my glasses?" this mf will purposely get it by the lens
you have your hair up in a bun? he never fails to miss a moment smacking the top of it and will have the guts to make buzzing noises while he's at it
doesn't take down notes saying he can just photocopy yours
also copies your homework, every goddamn time
but gotta admit that he effortlessly excels in one subject where you greatly struggle with, so it's kinda a win-win ig
worst type of tutor, he sometimes forget to tell you important details
also, the type to get reviewers from you
overall, i love you toge but i wanna strangle you sometimes
-hakari kinji
you don't see him often
teachers remember him but not in a good way
if ever he's in class, he sits at the back corner
doesn't participate much
if you're grouped with him he just agrees with whatever the group suggests, once in a while giving his own suggestion
his bag you ask? none.
only has a pen
will ask his seatmate for a piece of paper if ever he feels like taking notes
don't really have anything to say about him other than he's barely passing
will probably end up repeating a year due to his tardiness
overall, though he's mia once in a while he will still make a great classmate have group works with since he easily cooperates

Good luck with your new blog!❤ Can I request imagine where the new Fem Blackwatch agent gets bullied a lot bc she is emotionless and doesn't react, everyone thinks she is weird, and then mccree notice her one night sneaking out doing something super sweet like feeding homeless puppies or helping some orphans?? I need more fluff in my life Also if you make the reader so short I will appreciate it! Sorry if this is too complicated and Thank you ❤
(POV: You)
You were told beforehand that the base was a lot colder than your previous assignment at this time of year and that you should bring some warmer equipment. Now that you are sitting in the small cold room you have been provided for the duration of your stay, you are starting to regret that you didn´t heed the advice your superiors gave you. As you have now frozen for several hours, you decide that it would be better to go and tie up a few loose ends, than to simply sit in your tiny quarters the entire night. You grab your regular clothes and your coat and begin making your way out of the HQ.
You are not especially worried about anybody questioning your absence, as it is already too late for anyone to be awake. On the other hand, most people never really pay much attention to you, mostly due to your emotionless exterior. The fact that you often remain indifferent, when faced with shocking or terrifying situations, has garnered you a fair bit of ridicule from your “comrades”, who you often find talking behind your back or overlooking you as if they didn´t see you at all. Even with the scorn on your mind, you remained silent to their idiocy. Due to your short stature, you learned early in your life that there are other ways to win fights than with the fist, although you are pretty good with that approach as well.
Unbeknownst to you, however, somebody else has noticed what was going on around you. He is also a member of Blackwatch, and quite possibly the only one (except yourself of course) who is still awake. His name is Jesse McCree, and speaking of him:
(POV: Jesse)
Jesse is sitting in the boardroom, wide awake. It isn´t often that he, or anyone for that matter, get to relax, so everybody makes sure to enjoy it. Jesse had, long ago, learned that there can be far between a good night of sleep, so he always tries to make the most of it. This night was different though. This night is one of those nights, where he just can´t stop the flood of memories for his past. Everything, from his childhood to Deadlock to now just flows together and churns around in his head, making him unable to sleep. So here he is. Up and about at 3 am with no end in sight.
That is until he hears a sudden ruckus, somewhere nearby though. He is surprised by the sudden noise, and also confused as to why anybody but him would be up at this hour of the night. He stands up and goes to investigate. As he turns around the corridor, he spots you on your way out of HQ, with a backpack on your shoulders. As he is a relatively high-ranking member of Blackwatch, he knows that there are no mission details or assignments left to do, that could explain your sudden departure, which leads him to follow after you. 
He mainly follows to understand why you are leaving at night, but also to know more about you. Most people with the same rank as you are simple goons with next to no recognizable features, while you, on the other hand, excel in both combat and strength, despite you being noticeably shorter than the other members (he has caught himself smiling at the thought of you, small as you are, beating some sense into people twice your size, more than he´d like to admit). You also remain remarkably calm, almost emotionless, during stressful situations, which has in fact also earned you the silent approval of Gabriel Reyes. The other low-level members didn´t see your positive sides, however, and routinely mocked your stoic appearance.
As the cowboy has now tailed you for several minutes, you suddenly come to a stop in an alleyway, sparsely lit with a small lamp on the wall. As he discretely peers into the alley, he notices you sitting down on one knee, shuffling around with the contents of a large cardboard box. As you move to pull something out of the box, he silently readies his Peacekeeper, in case it is a weapon (If you wanted to shoot a few of the people that have mocked you, he would honestly wouldn´t blame you, although he hopes that he isn´t one of the people on your list).
His thoughts are quickly halted, however, as he suddenly hears the thing you picked up begin to meow. He stretches his neck a little more and now sees you holding a very small and quite frankly malnourished orange kitten in your hand. As you put it down on the ground, he sees you do the same with two other kittens (One black, the other brown). He is a little confused as to what you are doing but decides to not intervene. When all the kittens are sitting safely on the ground, cuddling up to you, you open your backpack and pick up water bottles and small packets of food and place them on the ground.
You pour a little of the water into your cupped hand, and the kittens happily drink it all up. After they are done drinking, you pour a little bit of food onto the ground, and gently pet the kittens on their backs as they eat, before standing back up and rummaging through your backpack one more time. This time you pull out a blanket and fit it into one of the dry cardboard boxes so that the kittens can keep warm in the cold weather.  As the kittens appear to be satisfied you gently pick them up, one-by-one, and place them into their new home. You pour out some more food for them and begin putting the now empty water bottles and food packs back in your bag.
As you are packing up your stuff, McCree is shocked by your complete change in demeanour, as you go from your normal stoic self to being smiling and affectionate as you help the poor creatures. As you are ready to leave, Jesse decides to talk with you and begins to approach you.
(POV: You)
As you finish packing the now empty materials, you can´t help but feel like you are being watched. As you crane your head and look behind you, your heart immediately begins pounding as you see Jesse McCree walking towards you. As he is almost right in front of you, you lower your eyes to the ground, scared that he might think that you are weird, like the others. As you mentally prepare for the normal barrage of mockery and weird looks, you’re shocked to instead her Jesse chuckle as he says, “So there is a heart beating in that chest of yours after all darlin´”
You quickly raise your head, both surprised and confused by the friendly cowboy. Jesse notices you shock and quickly reassures you. “Don´t worry about your little thing back there. I know enough about people to know that you´d like me to keep silent about your soft side” he promises while smiling at you. You return his smile (Maybe the overconfident cowboy isn´t as bad as you first thought).
As you are focused mostly on your own thoughts and happiness, the gunslinger interjects once more “Say darlin´ it´s getting pretty cold outside and I don´t know a lot about pets, but I know that staying out in the cold isn´t got for anybody”. He takes a look at his watch and looks up at you “Well, it seems it´s almost morning again. I´m sure there´s a shelter somewhere in a town like this, so how about we find these little fellas a nice home eh?”
You stand completely still for a second, completely unable to understand the sudden friendliness and helpfulness you are being shown. As you look at Jesse, your eyes almost tear up from happiness, but you steel yourself, having more important things to worry about. After regaining your composure, you answer his question “Yeah, I think that’s a really good idea. Wouldn’t want them to freeze to death out here”. Jesse simply nods his head and walks over to the box, lifting it up before walking back over to you. “Well,” he says, “Shall we?”. You nod your head “Yes, I think we shall”.
As the two of you walk out of the alley and into the centre of the town to look for an animal shelter, you begin to feel warm inside, knowing that you´ve found some who understands who you are and likes who you are. You´ve found a friend. You turn your head towards your companion and quietly say “Jesse?”. “Yeah Shortstack?” He replies, with such a teasing smile that you can´t help but chuckle, as you answer, “Thank you”. He turns his head back forward, saying “No problem darlin´”. The rest of the trip you two walk in comfortable silence, the only noise coming from the kittens who purr and snore the whole time.

Dog Gone Problems: 18-month-old Goldendoodle doesn't respect its 14-year-old owner | Momaha.com
New Post has been published on http://doggietrainingclasses.com/dog-gone-problems-18-month-old-goldendoodle-doesnt-respect-its-14-year-old-owner-momaha-com/
Dog Gone Problems: 18-month-old Goldendoodle doesn't respect its 14-year-old owner | Momaha.com
Dog Gone Problems is a weekly advice column by David Codr, a dog behaviorist in Omaha. David answers dog behavior questions sent in by our readers. You can reach him at [email protected].
I have an 18-month-old Goldendoodle who is a very kind and loving dog. My family’s intent is for him to work as a therapy dog. The problem is I am a 14-year-old small girl who this dog doesn’t respect at all. I feel like I have tried everything. My family has hired behaviorists and trainers. I walk him 30 minutes a day — morning and night — and I train him for 10 minutes after each one of those walks. No matter what I do, he doesn’t respect me. However, he respects the rest of my family. All my dad has to do is walk in the room and he will drop whatever he has. It’s the same with my brothers, who are 11- and 16-years-old.
The next issue is that he has possession aggression. He is very fast. He grabs everything and does not let it go (at least for me). For example, he loves socks and will swallow them. Because of this he has had to get two surgeries and has had multiple visits to the vet to induce vomiting. We have buckets with lids and locks, but he can also open doors. When he gets something to chew on and I try to take it away, he growls — a lot. Then when I try to open his jaw, he bites me.
I need help. How can I make him respect me? Is it my fault or the dog’s? 
Wow. It sounds like you have quite a few issues going on. From what you wrote, it appears you are doing some good work already. Maybe we just need to add a little fine tuning. I can share a few tips.
Let’s break your letter down into individual sections so you can focus on one thing at a time.
First, respect for dogs can be confusing. Some of the factors may be related to your age and stature. Size matters to dogs. That said, one of my former apprentices has gone on to become a dog behaviorist and she is just over 5 feet tall. So it’s something you can get past.
While the walks are great, they may not be enough. Your average dog needs an hour of exercise every day, but some dogs may need even more. From what you wrote, I’d guess your dog falls into that category. This video on creative ways to exercise dogs can help you supplement your walks with some easy indoor exercise options.
I’d look for some ways to build in compliance before your dog gets what he wants in your day-to-day life. Petting with a purpose is a wonderful way to help your dog learn to respect you as a leader and help him practice asking for things instead of telling you what to do.
Do you enforce rules with your dog? Dogs often see those who enforce rules as the leader. Enforcing rules gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your leadership in small, subtle ways multiple times a day.
I’d suggest you also start developing a strong leave it command with your dog. Once established, you can pull out high-value items and leave them on the floor when you can supervise and give the dog the leave it command. The more you repeat this, the less the dog will try to take things you want them to leave alone.
Lastly, this video includes a really easy and sneaky way to condition your dog to come to you — even when you don’t call him to come over.
Remember, training and behavior are separate. While training is awesome, I’d suggest you work more on these structural changes and behavior exercises to help your dog learn that listening and respecting you cause good things to happen.
Good luck and remember — everything you do trains your dog. Only sometimes you mean it.

We’re Bruce and Ernie (left). We love sneaking raw bacon off the kitchen counter, lounging around the house naked, er, without our collars and making friends with deer. (The deer *love* to play tag, but for some reason we’re always “it.”)

Buster can put a smile on your face like no one else, including those of neighbors who spot him dragging me along on a walk or run. Unfortunately, this high-energy guy recently has been sidelined by the doggie version of a torn ACL and subsequent knee surgery. He could use a little boost, so I’m nominating him for the OWH Pet Parade.

Isabel doesn’t enjoy her humans (especially the little ones) a lot, but sometimes likes a good chin scratch. Mostly she enjoys being left alone to sit on top of the piano and watch the birds outside.
Kevin Coffey, music critic
Izzy is 6 months old. She likes to chase her tail (and often catches it), climb up couches (and people), and bother Zake. Zake is 15 years old and unsure of Izzy. After all, Izzy has the high ground.

Laika is, hands down, the happiest dog at the dog park. She is named after the heroic Russian cosmonaut dog, one of the first animals in space. Ciara loves to pray. When she joins our family in prayer, she sounds like Scooby Doo. She is fiercely loyal and protective.
Susan Szalewski, copy editor and news reporter
Lolo was adopted seven years ago in Louisiana. She’s a mutt, and we think she’s part nutria, otherwise known as a swamp rat.

This is Oliver. He has three legs and a bullet permanently lodged in him. (We didn’t put it there). He pretends like he’s surly and tough but deep down he’s very snuggly.

I’m Sasha. I was a stray in Oklahoma (where my ear was somehow torn) before a shelter rescued me & treated my heartworm. I just tested negative for heartworm, yay! I really like to play dead & get belly rubs!

Slugger, owned by the original Pet Parade Petitor in Chief and saved by Big Red Rescue in Omaha, chases his tail faster to his right than to his left. He ate a hole in the blinds to watch his owner come and go.

Toby is a 4-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with a big personality. Given the protective tendencies of his breed, he’s very serious about watching over his property — and his owners. Until he isn’t.

Toothpick loves biting bare legs, gazing longingly at birds outside and dipping his paw into bags of Spicy Nacho Doritos so he can lick off the Doritos dust (which his owners know is gross and bad but are powerless to stop). ​
Erin Duffy, news reporter
Boston Terriers, Willow, 8, and Dexter, 6, have a closet full of costumes, sweaters, scarves and even some pajamas. They only sit this nicely for photos because there are LOTS of treats involved – but really – they are crazy little puppies!
Tammy Yttri, copy desk chief
Nine years ago, we found Zed roaming the earth (it was a ruff life). He’s a good boy. He likes his toy lobster, pepperonis (which we call pupperonis) and keeping up with his fans at Zedwin.org. 
Graham Archer, digital editor
Hi, my name is Zeus, I an eight-year-old American Eskimo looking to get back in the game. They say I am fixed, but I think my only problem is you aren’t in my life. I love long walks and treats. I want someone to chase squirrels with.  Won’t you paw right?
