Such a nice morning with the girls!

[fjordfolk]

Just to be clear, my ask was not meant to judge you about how you love your pups! My question stemmed from a sad thing I witnessed at the last obedience trial I worked. A woman from my training club entered her two dogs that day – one got her OTCH, and the other NQ'd in open. She came out of the trial hall furious, yanking her dog's leash, and proceeded to tell us she wasn't going to "waste" any more of her time training him, because he wasn't a winner or whatever. She brought her other dog out to visit people and sniff stuff later in the afternoon, but the dog with the NQ stayed in his crate the rest of the day, and it absolutely broke my heart. Nobody else seemed to have any problem with the idea that she would totally reject one of her dogs because of his trial performance. (And what's worse is she really did stop training him and spending time with him after that.) So anyways, whenever I hear anyone say they have a favorite, all I can think of is the sad puppy sitting in the back of a van all day because he got startled during a trial. Which obviously is very very very different than "Sparty is my roommate and Troja is our dog."

That is indeed very different.

It is also different because Troja is the succesful ribbon earning certified sheltie dog and Spart? Spart is an effective DQ. Somehow still everyone's favourite.

WAIT, Bojan deleted the stories because of the "fans"???? GET OUT

[supercalime]

Honest question, why do yall care? I mean, if it’s real, good for them but like, this feels so gross. I’ve seen how fans treat them like characters, they deserve all the privacy they can get, relationship or not

Finally, we get the opportunity to put our Spy Cards worldbuilding in a work. Though there are many questions about such things as "regulation" "how these cards are printed" "who approves a single spy card", and so on, we are here to present a bold new take: this game is based like 60% on obscure roach memory-reading tech that got turned into a card game with absolutely No card-game-related intentions included in the original tech and most of the card vetting is just from the fact that there aren't too many card printers out there and most of them make cards that need to be translated from Roach.

Strictly speaking, as a card game, it is not a terribly good or well-balanced one. It's popular primarily because of a mix of the difficulty involved in getting the data for high-level cards, the fun of seeing the variety of monsters that can be brought to the table, and the incredible amounts of ham and drama that goes into specifically the professional scene.

it’s always a goddamned brain dead take on twt isn’t it

Aaand 9naa is doing it again.

Apparently the actors in Kiseki Chapter 2 had to film some of their intimate scenes fully naked and without previous intimacy coordination in that regard. It also seems like the crew jokingly offered to go naked too (because that makes things better /s) which suggests that again this was a pretty spontaneous decision.

The same thing already happened during the filming of Check Out and I now wonder if they pulled the same crap during Venus in the Sky (my only hope is that if they had, they wouldn't have kept quiet about it because apparently to them it's good promo 😒).

Funny how pretty much every other Thai BL production company manages to film beautiful intimate scenes without having the actors go completely naked...

I'm v curious abt Talon's mesoamerican origins and evolution in general how does his accent sound when written out? after such a long life what is the strongest vestige of those times he has (aside from physical features and so on). I can't believe some rando bloodsucker colonized my boy

I have no idea what his accent wld sound like as the few videos i cld find of people speaking his original language, are, of course, mainly spanish speakers! And I can sometimes hear the difference in spanish as they switch between the 2 while being interviewed but i struggle to mentally transplant that as to how it'd sound in English ykwim 😭 there's also the fact that its the modern language spoken by them so it has evolved alongside and borrows from spanish anyway, by those who still speak it and speak both Today

Im actually still zeroing in on fleshing out more of that lore, since I can't find too much info on the specific culture i envision for him, it may really just have to be "fantasy culture INSPIRED by the people" instead, so i dont completely botch actual historical info 😮‍💨 either that or go very vague off of the info available

I fully get the anxiety of feeling like you don’t deserve to go to a show. It comes with the whole competetive fandom stuff.

Honestly, as someone who has performed on a lot of stages with varying kinds of crowds, the most important thing isn’t if you’re the biggest fan or if you know the lyrics or some choreography or bring gifts. The thing that is the most valuable is that you go to the show to have a good time. That’s all the artists are generally looking for. That people enjoy their music, enjoy the show, are excited to be there.

Some people may be disappointed that they don’t get a ticket, sure. But it’s not you taking that ticket away from them. Not everyone can have everything. Sometime people don’t get concert tickets. That is not your fault for buying. It is a thing that happens when everyone has the right to buy concert tickets instead of them being raffeled off or gifted. If the show was just for the biggest fans, tickets would be give out as competition prices, not to the person who buys them.

And there is no right way to enjoy the show. Some superfans never learn lyrics because they don’t particularly care. Some people buy tickets to go see random artists just for the experience. Some people just love to give gifts and find that to be the best way of interacting. Your way of doing it is just as valid as all that. You don’t have to earn any right to be there, that is what the tickets are for.

And honestly, you’d be surprised by the number of people who have never even heard of an artist or band who just show up for the show because they had a day off and it could be fun. It’s not about deserving to be there. It’s about wanting to go and getting the chance to actually do that.

I don’t know if this little pep talk eases your mind at all, but I hope it does. Learning to let go of the competetive mindset and attitude when it comes to regular life stuff is a chore and a half. I just want you to know that I would love for you to go to the show.

Thank you for reaching out. I really appreciate it ❤

That was an eventful two days

[field-of-sungflowers]

Event organizers who pull this shit need to shut the fuck up and get back in their lane. I can think of at least 5 reasons this shouldn't be allowed, starting with "people who use their phones for AAC should be allowed to go to concerts if they want without having their communication taken from them" and not even getting to "people who don't need their phone still shouldn't be treated like naughty teenagers at an event they paid money to attend"

[too-many-rooks]

Terrible day at work. Just abysmally bad. The kind of full-disassociation-at-the-bus-stop-staring-into-space-like-a-shell-shocked-trench-soldier bad day. Not crying on the bus being was a major victory.

if i see/hear one more person refer to taurus as a “masculine sign” or “the masculine side of venus” i am going to explode into a thousand pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!! LITERALLY OBJECTIVELY INCORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS AN EARTH SIGN RULED BY VENUS AND THE PLACE OF EXALTATION FOR THE MOON IT IS MOTHER GAIA IT IS LITERALLY THE FIRST FEMININE SIGN OF THE ZODIAC WHEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your perception of what femininity means has become so warped and rotten due to social conditioning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to be sturdy and stable and stubborn in your ways and to have a strong desire to care for and pamper yourself and fill your own cup FIRST so you can nourish others RESPONSIBLY & SUFFICIENTLY and to have a practical approach to your nurturing nature and to be blunt with your boundaries and to be STRONG IS SUCH AN INTEGRAL PART OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FEMININE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM BEGGING YOU TO REALISE THIS PLEASE

it really truly does have the same connotations to it as when people nowadays call fat women / hairy women “unfeminine” (which is obviously untrue), when this was absolutely not at all how people viewed womanhood in history, and stems from a much more ‘modern’ mindset that’s a direct result of our current social climate. fat + having volume to one’s body used to be seen as a clear indicator of good health and feminine fertility (nourishment => a very taurian trait!) and body hair was literally just so normal (being natural => another trait heavily linked to taurus!!!)

taurus, and every single one of the characteristics connected to the sign/archetype, is feminine >:I
