#and there is no purpose to breeding them.

[trekbec82]

The breed standard for Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dogs causes them to have a skull shape that puts them at significant risk of Chiari Malformation (a brain deformity). A fact I learnt when I was diagnosed with the condition myself in 2016 (though I was just unlucky, not bred that way on purpose).

The breed standard for modern Persian cats calls for the nose and mouth to be in “vertical alignment” with the eyes 😭

Hey! This is for the askgame, because I’m sure that I’d love any recommendation from you :)

💖 a fic you recently read, loved and why!

💗 a fic you’ve reread again and again and why!

my tastes can be a little all over the place, so i hope some of these interest you C: i wanted to do one carcar and one lestappen for each but then i found like five lestappen fics i wanted to say so you get a few more than one.

💖 a fic you recently read, loved and why!

You'll Just Have to Remind Me by the_e_sea (t, carcar, memory loss) this fic is still in progress, but so far, I'm loving it. carlos has antiretrograde amnesia which means he wakes up every day thinking it is the same as the day before, and he keeps going to the convenience store every night where oscar works to buy dryer sheets. oscar begins to realize that there's something a little strange about the same guy buying dryer sheets every single night and engaging him in the exact same conversation each time. when i first started it i was a little confused as to how it could be carcar if carlos never remembers what has happened during his day but the dynamic is carried out so well and it feels really natural and lifelike. definitely recommend it, i'm excited to see more of this one.

blood chem by @sediciii (e, lestappen, vampire, roommates) i'm a sucker for vampire fics (pun intended). this one is probably my favorite i have ever read. it's a lestappen oneshot. max is a vampire, and charles is his all-too-willing-to-help roommate. max looks forward to charles coming back to the room so that he can feed, and charles looks forward to letting max feed for... other reasons. it's very sexy and a little soft, and i love the dynamic between the two of them

💗 a fic you’ve reread again and again and why!

purpose in you by @charlescoded (e, lestappen, arranged marriage, dune au) it's a lestappen dune au oneshot. if you know about dune, charles is a member of the benegesserit and max takes on like a feyd-rautha-type role, and they have an arranged marriage. it got posted right when i was watching the second dune movie for the first time, so it was perfect timing to hook me in. i wish there were more fics in dune au because i feel like that universe has a lot to offer. i cannot express enough how much i am absolutely obsessed with this piece. it is written at a level of writing quality i can only aspire to ever write in my lifetime. the whole piece is entirely enthralling. it is the second part of the series, but this is the one i always reread. the first part is breeding grounds

Ruckus by @tylersayscool (e, lestappen, dystopian battle royale) let me start by saying that everything I've read from this author is so good, i highly recommend checking her out if you haven't already. this one is my favorite, here's the description because i don't think i can do it justice. "The students are taken to a deserted island, fitted with explosive collars, and given random weapons. They are instructed to kill each other until only one survivor remains. If no one is killed within a set time period, the collars will detonate, killing everyone." this fic has such a chokehold on me that i literally was quoting sections in my journal and dissecting them in like essay length entries LOL. the writing is so high quality and the plot is so interesting and unique.

Open my mouth, on my knees (for you) by @lovelylotusf1 (e, carcar) a little less than a year ago i was scrolling through the second round of F1 Kinkmeme submissions looking for oneshots to read and i found this one. funfact: my one fic "you're too sweet for me" was originally supposed to be a lestappen fic and then i read this piece and i was like 'damn i wanna write carcar' and i switched it to that instead. this is a carcar oneshot. here's the description: "Oscar has to deal with the consequences of a drunken confession he sent to Carlos. He gets more than he bargained for." i keep coming back to it because it has such a special place in my heart.

okay i will stop rambling now! there are a few more i would've thrown in but this is already super long i feel like, so i hope some of these are fresh for you to enjoy C:

[theguarddogofallyourfeverdreams]

What kind of dog would each BH6 character be? And would it be the same kind you think they'd want to own?

OMG OMG my first request guys this is so exciting YIPPEE

tadashi hamada - golden retriever

"intelligent / friendly / devoted: The Golden Retriever, an exuberant Scottish gundog of great beauty, stands among America's most popular dog breeds. They are serious workers at hunting and field work, as guides for the blind, and in search-and-rescue, enjoy obedience and other competitive events, and have an endearing love of life when not at work. Goldens are outgoing, trustworthy, and eager-to-please family dogs, and relatively easy to train. They take a joyous and playful approach to life and maintain this puppyish behavior into adulthood."

i originally REALLY didn't want to write retriever for him because that would have been boring i mean just look at him anyone would think he's a retriever boy but i couldnt do it it was too much for me he just IS

the lucky cat cafe doesn't really have the capacity to welcome another inhabitant (hiro and tadashi are already crammed into one room!) so he doesnt have any pets.

however, when tadashi does move out into his own place i imagine he would go to the animal shelter to adopt instead of purposely looking for any breed, so he wouldn't necessarily own a golden retriever. that or he would rescue abused dogs from breeders or dogs used for animal testing. i feel like i can see him with a labrador or beagle because a lot of them are found in shelters (and the beagle's trusting nature makes them popular for animal testing :( ). while i HC him to have bad allergies i dont think he is allergic to animals. even though you can take pets to get microchipped i think tadashi puts gps tracking in his furry companion's collar or clothes like he does for hiro

hiro hamada - shiba inu

shibas are bratty and mischievous and if hiro doesn't give off shiba energy then idk

tbh i dont think hiro would be a dog person. like i think he would like giving them pets and belly rubs and all that but he wouldn't be up for the responsibility of taking care of them. like it's a whole life he's responsible for but he can't even take care of himself yet if anything i think he is more of a cat person and would prefer low-maintenance animal friends. plus he has to share a room with tadashi so it's not even like he can own any pets for another like 5-10 years and we KNOW hes not gonna move out of his house at 18 not in san fransokyo in this economy with 8$ ass matcha lattes

(assuming the economic state of the world canonically is similar to IRL bh6 canonically takes place sometime in 203x the USD has to be far more inflated than rn)

i like to think when hiro does age up and move out though he'd probably be a startup founder or some super high ranking engineer at a young ass age so he'd be super invested in his work because hes a robotics nerd like so much so that he almost doesn't have time for himself let alone a furry companion whose life and wellbeing he has to be responsible for

gogo tomago : german pinscher

"intelligent / courageous / vivacious : Sleek, shiny, and streamlined, GPs are a true dog lover's delight. They're eye-catching and elegant but in all ways honestly doggy's nothing fussy or exaggerated...There's nobility in the elongated, wedge-shaped head, and the dark eyes are alert and eager. GPs move with the kind of strong, free-and-easy gait that tells you this is a confident companion, up for anything the day might bring."

i think gogo would have something like a pinscher or a german shepard -- large, capable and vigilant watchdogs because her house is canonically in a shitty neighborhood and i think there has been several times where her dog has gotten her out of a troubling situation--when gogo cooks or grills meat she makes sure to share some with her buddy as a reward for their service and sometimes she also takes her friend on late night drives or motorcycle rides

gogo doesn't come by her friend via breeder nor animal shelter. the dog was just abandoned on the side of the road and she came across it one day on a leisurely drive. so she let the dog in her car and drove home. originally she didn't plan on keeping it: she calls her friends and anybody she knows if they want a dog-- they have no space in the house or they are too busy to welcome another friend into the household. she goes to the animal shelter in her neighborhood-- there is no more space. so she just goes home and they become great friends. there are very little beings for whom gogo has a soft spot and readily shows vulnerability to-- her furry friend being one of them.

honey lemon : saluki

"dignified / gentle / independent-minded: Salukis are swift and agile sprinters who love a good chase. They make gentle, dignified, and independent but loyal pets. The beauty of Salukis has been a thing of wonder for thousands of years. They're slim and leggy, but very strong and perfectly balanced, like a great athlete or dancer."

look me in my tumblrs eyes and tell me this build doesnt give honey lemon

i dont think honey lemon is a dog owner. like she wouldn't be opposed to it but she just hasn't gotten to it. she also lives in a dorm and dorms that allow pets are crazy hard to come by, so i imagine she wouldn't be allowed to keep any pets anyway. (but apparently MIT has cat-friendly dorms and SFIT is basically californian japanese MIT so who knows maybe). when she does move out from her dorm into an apartment i could see her owning a saluki or a pomeranian and she would give them cute little accessories and bows to wear. i think she would match outfits with them for a coffee run or something. i could also see her as an aviculturist because of her care for the environment

wasabi: tibetan mastiff

"reserved / independent / intelligent: Watchful, aloof, imposing, and intimidating: The ancient Tibetan Mastiff is the guardian dog supreme. These densely coated giants are mellow and calm around the house, sweetly devoted to family, and aloof and territorial with strangers. Coming face to face with this ancient behemoth, an intruder up to no good will likely move on to easier pickings."

wasabi might be tall big and extremely vigilant and careful of strangers and thus intimidating, but i think he's the type to like little animals. like a gentle giant. because of his extreme need to be clean and organized 24/7 he probably wouldn't own a tibetan mastiff cus mastiffs drool everywhere and all the goddamn time. as a matter of fact he probably wouldn't own a dog (and apparently according to one of the bh6 games he lives in an apartment so he might not even be allowed to) i do think he would own a bunny and even some frogs, whose enclosures he makes sure are neat and tidy all the time. like he'd instantly start cleaning the bunny's cage after a single dropping.

fred : basset hound

DO YOU SEE MY VISION I DONT THINK I NEED TO ELABORATE

fred doesn't really mind whatever breed his furry companion is. his mom might have qualms about owning "unsightly" breeds, but he's the heir of their billion-dollar family fortune so he really doesn't give any fucks cus he has fuck you money and his parents care more about his happiness so they end up shutting up pretty quickly.

one day fred randomly thought about getting a non-human sidekick so heathcliff brings him a tablet displaying a bunch of purebred breeders near them. except he looked at all of them for a few seconds and got bored and headed for a nearby animal shelter. he goes there to see all the animals they have and he instantly looks at this basset hound whos minding their own business and napping while every other dog is jumping and clawing at the gate of their room. thats sooo me duuuude fred thinks and instantly tells the shelter worker that he wants that one

hear me out i totally headcanon fred as a stoner. i dont really think he smokes as much as he likes edibles. do you see where this is going one time his dog got into his stash of weed cookies or whatever and ended up getting stoned a la chop from gta v

bonus: baymax

feel free to comment if u think otherwise for them

MORE REQUESTS KEEP. EM. COMING. i need to pass my time faster

[queerclarkkent]

say it with me now - not having FULLY socialised healthcare is intentional, so that poorer people spend their scant cash on basic healthcare, in order to work and survive and buy more basic healthcare - and anything else not covered is just an excuse to let poor people die, and to make us too tired and weak and sick to fight the fuck back against the rich twits in power who can afford this - same with controlling food, and purposely not banning unsafe chemicals in food, and unsafe food preparation and distribution - they want our money, and they want us sick. Speaking IS power. Banning tiktok in the states is, and was, about banning speech between the masses. And the 'bring it back' schtick for however long they will (they being the governments and large corporations, primarily in the North-western hemisphere) is about coddling people in false security until they can find another reason why it is 'unsafe'. We have the uneducated running countries, who are going out of their ways to make us sick, and tired, and uneducated. (Consuming too much of this sort of media WILL make us too tired to fight back, so take frequent breaks before restarting). Medicine being for-profit, or charged in any capacity is INHERENTLY UNETHICAL. Having unsafe food (harmful chemicals, such as those like red 3) being distributed is INHERENTLY UNETHICAL. Allowing farmers to suffer in poverty is UNETHICAL, as is companies purposely producing waste en masse instead of distributing it cheaply amongst the desperate. Using religion to codify power is inherently UNETHICAL (such as the evangelical ideas prevailing in the American government, even against the teachings of the religious texts, which support socialist ideals, and saying that a Bishop showing empathy is somehow evil). Having wealth concentrated in a small body of people is a fucking Oligarchy. Many of us do not live under the democracies we so happily proclaim we are. And it is Unethical. The rich are a selfish breed. Do not trust them. They are turning the United States into a new Gilded age, where anybody but the insanely rich, and the frankly insane, suffer.

If ANYBODY says 'your body, my choice', that gives you free rein to punch them. If someone's a Nazi, fucking call them a Nazi. And, if you think someone is trans (and they aren't out), or if you think they're stealing essentials, or if you think they are in the country illegally? No, you fucking don't. Speech is Power. Use it accordingly.

They don't want us speaking out against genocide. They don't want us speaking out against the rich and powerful. They don't want us speaking out against our bosses. They don't want us trying to end homelessness. They don't want us growing our own food. They don't want us to have healthcare. They don't want us fighting for our own lives and they don't want us to say anything about it.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

This is your reminder that the Alaskan Malamute is NOT an indigenous dog breed. It may have indigenous ancestry but its creation, the standards imposed on it, and every aspect of its direction have been steered by white people from the very beginning. Even it’s name is inaccurate to its ancestry.

There are still Inuit breeding traditional sled dogs today. They are not some mythological people of old. They’re uploading photos their dogs, their hunting, their friends, their communities to social media as you read this.

Inuit dog breeds such as the Canadian Inuit Dog and Greenland Dog share struggles the Alaskan Malamute never has. The Canadian Inuit Dogs were culled en mass in the 1970s by the Canadian government which is still a source of trauma for people today. Knowledge of traditional dog keeping has been so fractured that I know of several young people using YouTube to learn their traditional crafts instead of being taught by people in their communities. The Greenland Dog is perhaps one of the most isolated dog breeds in the world and is extremely vulnerable to changes from Global Warming. As the climate warms it is harder and harder for the dogs and the people that seek to continue their traditional way of life to function as they desire. Much of Greenland subsists on hunting and tourism of their landscape and traditional activities. Climate change will make both more difficult.

Yes, the Alaskan Malamute has had its own struggles, World War II took a massive toll on the breed as it did many others. But we cannot let ourselves be deluded by the false histories and mythologizing pushed by the breed club, the kennel club because at their base they are clubs ruled by the west and the west alone. Our breed went to Antarctica successfully where many breeds did not, but somehow that wasn’t enough for the people in charge. They will flush and turn their heads away when you fact check their made up delusion. They will claim the breed is SO different than the other indigenous freight dogs that they HAD to create a new breed while at the same time saying “wow this breed is ancient!”. Is the 1930s ancient? Why must we sell this lie? Where does it fucking stop.

[wri0thesley]

Heres a fun fact! Humans do have heats! They’re not as powerful anymore due to society and other shit im to lazy to fully explain but they’re called ovulation ! Its been recorded that men find people going through ovulation more attractive and that it subconsciously makes them horny! Its also when you’re the most fertile and horny too. So for any baby trapping yanderes they should aim for that cycle to guarantee a baby they can also probably tell if it was successful depending on wether their darling got their period right after.

baby trapping is honestly one of the most terrifying yandere concepts for me. maybe it's because of my desire to never carry a child or gender stuff or whatever but . . . fgknbjfng. i don't mind writing or getting asks about it, for the record! - but i'm just saying that i think it's one of the worst and most selfish things for a yandere to do, and it's the one that makes me feel the shiveriest. to bring a whole new life into the world, just to force the person you're obsessed with to stay with you - to be able to gesture to this thing you've created with a 'so you're going to blame them for everything i've done to you?'. fgnjkbfngjk.

I keep trying to think of animals that people dislike/are scared of, but I keep immediately coming up with comebacks:

"that's it, I'm sending the snakes" -- Wait no I like snakes, even the deadly ones, and so do a lot of other people. Also it's not specific at all

"that's it, I'm sending the kangaroos" -- Widely known well enough I suppose, but most people will underestimate their strength, those fuckers are jacked and if you see them standing in water they're trying to lure you in to drown you

"that's it, I'm sending the sharks" -- "Okay I'll stand on land what they gonna do to me now lmao" (also marine life propaganda has largely restored the perception of sharks since Jaws)

"that's it, I'm sending the polar bears" -- "What, the two that are left?" Admittedly, even if there was only two, that would still be more than enough to kill someone many times over. But the ability to fire back a sick burn (/s) kinda undermines the tension. Unrelated to the tension, I am too Canadian for this.

I think the best one I've managed to come up with was one I thought of while writing the previous sections though:

"that's it, I'm sending the mosquitoes" -- Most people despise them, me included, it's unclear how many there are, they could be carrying disease, and because of the lack of context you could just as easily be referring to the giant ones from Jumanji but who's to say.

Also terrifying because how did you manage to get them together in the first place? You could feasibly catch most other animals, but mosquitoes are hard enough to slap at the best of times and they have such short lifespans that even if you manage to catch one, chances are it'll be dead by the time you manage to catch another. Alternatively, you're a scientist who studies and breeds mosquitoes for the purposes if that science, but that's a threat in and of itself. You've gotta be at least a little different in the head to study mosquitoes, and if there's one thing I know humans are scared of, it's other humans with different ways of thinking (not that this is a good thing, but I see it disconcertingly frequently). Plus, if you're studying the fuckers, chances are that you're doing at least a mild level of fucked up Frankenstein shit to them, and now they're threatening to send these lab mutations after you. Definitely more than qualifies as ominous threat material imo.

How about “that’s it, I’m sending the lizards”

this would not work on many people lizards are too likable alas. you'd have to specify a species I think. Though I guess a horde of angry anoles would be really really funny.

Helloo i just came to your blog and found the whole apocalypes au interesting 👀

I dont understand much of the au concept tjo so mind enlightening me? ^^ i wanna see more of it akskaosn

The basic concept is that the world is in disarray and has fallen into an apocalypse due to the effects of blot on mages/magical creatures producing more Overblots than ever before, which has forced those living in this new world to adapt and evolve in order to survive. This means building strong, sturdy compounds and using any means necessary to stay afloat (moral compasses are very skewed and corrupt in this au). Additionally, since women are now seen as a precious resource, they are kept within the compounds for the sake of reproduction. There are seven major compounds: Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle, Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ignihyde, and Diasomnia, all with their own sets of regulations, traditions, and ways of living. Noble Bell is technically a compound of its own, with Rollo as the leader, and RSA also counts as a compound. But we haven't touched much on both yet!

I will link all of the discussions that have taken place with this au so that you can read more! :D

Egon and his stupid genetics have taken most of the spotlight today, but I also discovered my two newts, Dumb and Ass, doing what I assume is their best attempt at making more newts.

I don't expect that this will be a successful venture but I will certainly keep everyone apprised of the newt situation should it change.

Absolutely beautiful spinning! Targhee and Polwarth are two of my absolute favorite breeds.

I knit with my handspun. I knit with friends’ handspun. I love knitting with handspun! In my mind, it’s too precious to leave sitting dusty on a shelf. Plus, I learn more about myself as a spinner when I knit with my handspun.

Handspun projects are so special and unique. Take a breath and try it!

My current WIP with two different friends’ handspun (and they spin totally opposite yarn, so both are light fingering Polwarth but boy do they behave differently).

A recently finished shawl with two skeins of a friend’s handspun (the friend who spun the lighter color above), also Polwarth. It was knit for another mutual friend who adores it.

A hat with my own handspun, hilariously also Polwarth with silk.

A hat and cowl made from camel/merino and merino/camel/silk blends I spun. These were gifted as a set to another spinning friend and she’s worn them all winter.

There are bunches more, I could go on. But you won’t ruin it! You’ll give it new life and purpose.

❤️ KNIT ❤️ WITH ❤️ YOUR ❤️ HANDSPUN ❤️

It's so fluffy!!

Aforementioned 4oz Polwarth, dyed with a friend as a learning lesson last year. Has the teal going for it.

Then 4oz Targhee from Greenwood Fiberworks in color Aquamarine, in their gemstone series.

Singles are S twist, two ply is Z twist. 378 yds, about 18wpi, which puts this firmly in sock yarn territory.

I don't know yet what it will be. I definitely have some areas overspun (sigh) so not something direct on skin, unless it softens up a bit in the wash... Maybe weave up some fabric for future project?

What do people with all their handspun? I still treat it as so precious....

Yarn in the first month of the year! Woo!

[revvethasmythh]

on a list of incredibly silly, irrelevant things from the campaign i still wonder about all the time, whether Flora is actually Imogen's horse (in the legal sense of ownership) or just her favorite of Master Faramore's horses is still number one for me. do the Temults even own any horses at all or do they just work at the stables? do they board horses at the stable for a discount because they work there? do they even board horses in Gelvaan or is it more common to keep personally owned horses on your own property?? These are the important questions I need to ask for the eventual campaign wrap-up, I think

Send in kinks and my muse will rate them ☼

Primal Definitely not | No | Not Really | It's Okay | Kinda | Yes | Fuck yes | There goes my pants | Bonus: Giving | Receiving | Both

❝If I'm understanding it correctly, I guess it depends? Some things seem more appealing than others, I'm afraid.❞

Breeding Definitely not | No | Not Really | It's Okay | Kinda | Yes | Fuck yes | There goes my pants | Bonus: Giving | Receiving | Both (receiving in this case means his partner asking him to breed them <3)

❝Well that's— quite a complicated topic... There is an important distinction between wanting children and having them,❞ Vigor begins. He is flustered, but versed enough in the topic to not stammer. ❝But it is an...enjoyable...thought...❞
