#animals and stop treating them like objects or toys.

[awakentrashpanda]

Dogday headcanons because he’s adorable

☀️Total klutz, this puppy cannot walk 2 feet without, tripping over something on the ground, tripping over his own feet, bumping into some thing, or walking face first into something

☀️Anytime he gets startled he is a yippy little pupper, everybody else will be trying to calm him down, partially because they care about him, and partially because they���re desperate to get the barking to stop, Catnap is usually the best at calming him down 

☀️Sniffs new people

☀️Gives all of his friends, especially Catnap, tons of physical affection both because he loves physical affection and also to get his scent on them… Especially Catnap 

☀️Keeping up with the dog like behavior, sometimes he’ll pee on objects to mark them as his territory…He has been repeatedly told to stop doing this 

☀️His tail wags when he’s genuinely happy, but it also wags when he’s trying to stay positive, or when he is full of false hope (like we see in the VHS when he was telling the others that the wind storm will eventually pass) he also makes it wag on command in order to keep other people’s spirits up or to prevent others from worrying about him 

☀️Has hoodies of each and every one of his friends, blue elephant hoodie for Bubba, green rabbit hoodie for Hoppy, red bear hoodie for Bobby, you get the idea, his favorite is the purple cat hoodie for obvious reasons 

☀️I envision these characters live in the world of their cartoon show separate from the factory but occasionally their memories have a sort of semi overlap with their irl counterparts, and since they are toys made from children, whenever Dogday comes across any sort of item, like perhaps a stuffed animal or an accessory, that belonged to the child that came to be made into the irl‎ Dogday he will sit down next to it and whine sadly for about an hour…He has no idea why he does this (this is because some dogs are known to be so loyal that they will sit at their owners gravesite long after they’re dead)

☀️If you ever mention walks, ear scritches, belly rubs, or treats when he is within earshot he will immediately get excited

has yeosang nipped their lamb-dove? he's bitten hongjoong officially. has he bitten anyone else? i feel like if he did the reader would be like ur just a puppyyyyyyyyyy. and defend sangie to the matz like he just accidentally bit them its fine hes teething. all the excuses. i bet there would suddenly be chew toys for him too if so (and theyd be so clearly from the reader - all pastel and cute vs the monochrome of the matz!fam)

the biting was bad in the beginning especially. if either hongjoong or seonghwa got too close to him, he’d lunge for them and sink his teeth into whatever skin they had available. it was rare that he’d make them bleed since the bites were more of a warning than anything. it was only ever when they deigned to touch him that he bit hard enough to hurt. of course, over time as he learned the rules of the house a little better, the biting got less and less. hongjoong no longer had to pin him by the scruff of the neck for doing something so utterly disrespectful as smashing a priceless vase for the soul purpose of rebelling, and seonghwa’s regular hair ruffles just became something yeosang could live with.

but darling was somehow special. the fact that he knew he would be dead if he dared to hurt her had no real part in it, because he never felt the urge to hurt her. sure, when she pounced on his and used him as her personal teddy bear it pissed him off, but he never bit her. and all those hours that she spent sat next to him, fiddling with his fluffy tail really, really annoyed him, but again, biting was never an option. instead he’d pin her, flipping her over onto her back and holding her wrists above her head, all while growling threats that he did not intend to keep.

“fucking touch me again and i’ll rip your throat out, brat. damn what your precious ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’ do to me in return.”

but then she just… giggles in his face and it stumps him. she’s not supposed to find his threats funny. she’s supposed to cower in fear, crying and begging for mercy. the fact that she’s looking at him like he’s the most precious creature in the world has him entirely stumped.

maybe that’s why he doesn’t want to hurt her, though. she doesn’t see him as a threat. she doesn’t flinch back from him when he turns his head too quick, and she doesn’t cower away from him like he’s some sort of dangerous animal. maybe he doesn’t want to be violent with her because she doesn’t treat him like he should be. over time, that treatment stops from seonghwa too, the flinching comes to a halt and so yeosang stops biting him too. with hongjoong, it never really ends, but as the both of them get closer, it just becomes part of their dynamic, something the two of them treat as a game.

the chew toys are definitely something that darling would do as a practical joke, same as hongjoong buying him dog treats and seonghwa threatening him with the spray bottle in his greenhouse if he ever steps out of line. yeosang doesn’t find it funny when she presents him with bone shaped object, just raising a brow at her as she struggles to stifle her giggles with her hand. he takes them anyway, just because he knows it’ll make her happy (damn his soft heart) and hides them away under his bed. no one has to know that sometimes he pulls one of the ugly pastel things out and chews on it like one might chew on the end of a pen. it’s a completely normal behaviour, he tells himself as he stashes the toys under his bed once he’s finished with them. the fact that he doesn’t want anyone to know is not because it’s weird or that he’s ashamed of it… definitely not…

I can't help but think that, after a certain point, the only thing keeping Hob from devouring Morpheus like he hasn't eaten since 1689 every time Thessaly opens her mouth is that Morpheus...Might not appreciate that(What with his track record for romantic obsession/near-ironclad monogamy). Your thoughts?

SO there is that (Morpheus being obsessively focused on one romantic partner at a time) keeping Hob from saying much, but also I don't see it being quite as territorial as going at Morpheus like a chew toy. Not that Hob wouldn't ever territorially get his teeth everywhere if given half a chance, but it'd probably be mostly once they're established as a couple (and partially fueled just by the fact that he knows Morpheus is INSANE for someone wanting to devour him like a starved animal, and Morpheus deserves to have that damnit so Hob Gadling is going to deliver!)

The reason Hob has to be held back from throwing hands with one of the most ancient witches is more than the sort of possessiveness implied by wanting to eat someone alive. I imagine it's like

-Hob at this point has known that Morpheus has been in relationships and that they've affected him deeply. Maybe he even met Calliope and it led to a bit of "JFC Gadling that is a beautiful actual goddess of poetry with a sweet smile and soothing voice so you best just settle your history professor ass down mate, can't compare to that holy fuck." But he has not seen Morpheus IN a relationship.

-Now he is seeing it. Hob is seeing all the "I will give you worlds like strung jewels. I can create the most breathtaking dreams solely from the way the light hits your eyes. We got together two weeks ago here are floor plans for the rooms I'm creating just for you within my palace when do you think you can move in??????" He sees Morpheus revealed as the obsessively romantic, clingy lunatic he is; grasping and looking like a half starved puppy for the slightest sign of returned affection. It's everything Hob could have wished for! (Plus yeah it's super obvious that Morpheus is too head over ass to hear anything, let alone respond positively to someone else trying to move at him.)

-Hob's also seeing Thessaly, current object of all this obsessive grabbing and sappy lovestruck eyes and wistful sighing. And she isn't even appreciating it!!! Sure she likely enjoys the attention (judging by the fact that she bounces once Morpheus stops paying sole attention to her). But she's just like "sure" back at Morpheus launching heart eyes like grenades. And we've all seen a friend who is over the moon for someone who is so obviously not nearly as invested.

A lot of the frustration is just the universal experience of a friend who is obviously going to get his heart broken and you're gonna need to be breaking your jaw biting down on the "oh noooooo 🙄 " trying to comfort them after. Because there is no way "mate we fuckin told you" is gonna fly well with Morpheus.

- also every time Thessaly opens her mouth Hob isnt as focused on furiously chewing on Morpheus because it's more

And him blasting "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne every time Morpheus sighs over this woman who said he wasn't even that good looking what the fUCk then move out of the way for someone who will treAT HIM RIGHT

•Tall ahh goofy guy

I apologize in advance in case this is long but Omg raccoon anon I love your big brain because your test tube shifter ask made my brain spring to live with an idea. This is a little fucked but I think it's totally in the possibility of happening in a shifter world. What if there's like a secret organization that creates special shifters to turn them into weapons and perfect little soldiers to sell them for military.

They are advertised as a kind of program. These 'programs' are praised in the public because the public doesn't really know what's going on and think they help, especially kids. If they were 'recruited' as kids (orphans, trouble makers, parents who are sick of them...) they are trained from very young on. Some are recruited as adults but usually they are from young on. Easier to shape them into what they want. Birds and smaller shifters are trained to be perfect at surveillance and spying, some for field if they show special talent. While Big predator shifters are trained specifically for on field fighting. BUT...

add gene manipulation to make them absolutely unstoppable.

Oh wolf shifter? How about HUGE wolf shifter? Same with bears, big cats etc. Just creating these shifters to be the best of the best. Bigger, stronger, better soldiers. But here comes the catch, they can loose themselves easier. Side effects from the gene manipulation. Once they shift they are more wild, more like their 'natural' counterparts. They are more easily to loose control, more aggressive, easily agitated, show generally more 'wild animal' behavior. They have something implanted in their neck that in case of them loosing it and becoming a threat they just get shocked strongly to stop them. Or at least hinder them a bit till they can be stopped.

Perfect little pawns that don't really know their place in the world, or who they really are since all they remember is training, training, training. Very little social contact in general but especially not with other shifters who weren't brainwashed. Even natural pack shifters, such as wolves, lions etc, are usually not allowed, or rather don't have the opportunity, to create packs.

These shifters are, unbeknownst to them because of their conditioning, extremely lonely and crave to find themselves and form bonds and packs. But they can't and in case of them ever escaping these organizations, such as being sold to military, don't really know how to. They are just absolutely lost in life once they see how shifters outside of their world interact with each other. Somewhat in denial about what they really crave deep inside.

Because the thing is, they think growing up in a facility like that wasn't all that bad. They had food, a room with a nice bed, got toys, consoles, were allowed to watch TV and were generally treated with respect. They think only training was really hard and twice a week they got gene mutation therapy(GMT) which they were told makes them stronger and better(idk maybe some kind of shot? I'm unfortunately not that smart).

They don't understand that they were only treated like objects, usable weapons with potential. Who they tried to get on the good side with with materialistic stuff in case of them making it past GMT. They were emotionally completely neglected, rarely shown any emotional care such as love.   

Some kids don't make it past gene mutation therapy, it's very hard on the body. Which is why they prefer to get kids who dont have relatives so no questions are asked. In the rare cases there are, it's framed as an accident, illness, things that are in no ones control.

I am sorry my brain is going brrrrrrr. I have plot ideas already😭

Oh man, this! This is so good! See I can absolutely see that program being advertised as a good thing. But it's not. It's really not.

Given the resources available to them, I can see them trying to make children into shifters, and also trying to make test tube baby shifters. Gotta try multiple things to see what works, right?

And yes, these shifters are going to grow up with almost no social skills. The only social skills they have are military - they know to follow orders. And they know not to fight amongst themselves. But that's it. Everything else is a mystery.

And then when any of them meet a real pack? Natural shifters? That's going to awaken such a deep longing, they won't even have the words for it.

I really need to write a made shifter fic because there's so much drama and angst potential with that...

Viktoria the babygirl

This started as a harmless sketch. I ended up drawing all three years of Viktoria's time at Hogwarts (from 1868 to 1870).

Obviously, Viktoria was a Gryffindor.

Her uniform came from older students, because her family couldn't pay one for herself. Of course, when it got teared appart, she couldn't get it replaced and spent the rest of the year with a miserable uniform. Not like she really cared... She almost never wore shoes.

Don't ask what is going on with her hair. She never brushed it, and even so it was naturally wild before she finally managed to tame it down years late.

Although she was allowed outside late because her pack lived literally in the Forbidden Forest (they had moved just so they could be next to her), she spent a lot of time in the castle in her first year, exploring and finding treasures (bones and galleons to chew on.)

Viktoria wasn't liked at first, being the weird kid who barks and sniffs others. People began to like her in the middle of her first year when she broke her foot to save a kitty stuck in a tree. After that, she was really popular and had lots of friends.

She mostly hung out with the older students, but sometimes a first year would come and ask her for a ride on her shoulders or her back, and she'd run around the castle carrying them.

Sebastian the King of detention ? No, that's her. She spent her life getting detention in all three years. First because she was quite rebelious. Then because she didn't do the work. And last because she'd skip class.

In second year she began to learn hunting with her pack, leading her to beginning to miss classes. She had an accident in the middle of the year, leading to her having a scar on her lips.

She loved Hogwarts, but not enough to spend hours sitting still and quiet on a chair. And so, by the end of her third year Viktoria had already stopped attending under the advices of Professor Weasley.

Professor Ronen taught her how to shave after her facial hair began to grow a lot and quickly in the beginning of her third year, making her face a mess.

An older student taught her the Aguamenti charm. After that, she could often be seen outside watering random plants or animals, or even other students and herself in summer. They would all get in troubles for it, but she didn't care.

In transfiguration, Viktoria was quite good. But only to transfigurate objects into toys or bones to chew on. Matilda always encouraged her still. She was a bit disappointed when Viktoria stopped attending, but Matilda knew that it was for the best.

In History of Magic, she was the source of entertainment for the students during these hours of hell. She'd go wild after 3 seconds of Professor Binn talking. She was his nemesis and after her first year he stopped giving her detention or caring.

In Defense against the Dark Arts, Viktoria was good as long as you only put her against a training dummy, unless you wanted her to blow up something or someone... Professor Hecat was quite amused by her : also fascinated, giving she was a Lycanthrope.

In Charms, she was pretty good too. Professor Ronen had gotten the hang of it : she does the exercise correctly and she gets a treat or the right to go run around outside for the rest of the class. That's when it became obvious that her skills in magic were held back by her wild nature. She was a talented witch but had no desire to be such. She was Professor Ronen's favorite, and he still visits her from time to time.

She was forbidden to go to Potions class. Else she'd eat the ingredients.

Forbidden from going to any Care of Magical Creatures classes that included birds or animals with wings (Thestrals and Hypogriffs not included). No one knows when her phobia of birds began, but many know when some student's trauma from seeing her rip appart a Duricawls began.

We don't talk about Arithmancy. She could never even write down the class' name.

Magical theory was a no brainer, and Professor Fig had decided to give her private lessons so she wouldn't disturb the others, instead of just kicking her out of the class. His wife Miriam sometimes came by to have tea with her husband, and they'd invite Viktoria to offer her some treats and ask some questions about her life, out of curiosity. Viktoria loved Miriam. Fig never had the courage to tell her about her death.

Viktoria liked Muggle Studies a lot, she'd learn about a lot of weird objects and weird traditions or ways to live.

She could not fly a broom for the love of Merlin. She was terribly bad, and brooms hated her. During the three years in which she attended Hogwarts, the brooms constantly had dents or bite marks all over them. The culprit was never found...

She liked Astronomy as long as it was just staring at the stars, but even that bored her quickly.

Surprisingly, Viktoria was good enough at divination. Her imagination and open mind were strong enough to allow her to get good grades in the subject.

Studying Ancient Runes also was easy enough for Viktoria, thanks again to her ability to open her mind and imagine. She even began writing down a lots of things in Runes in her second year, and the Professor graded each of her personnal works to make up for her absences.

In Herbology, the plants were either scared of her or loved her. She pampered them a lot, and those who didn't like it would get eaten. Yep. Just, straight up eaten.

She didn't understand Quidditch but she loved the atmosphere of the students when there was a match or it was simply brought up in a conversation. Everyone seemed happy and excited, almost as much as her in their everyday life.

After beginning to attend Hogwarts, she told everything that she did to her pack, even showing some of them. Most weren't wizzards and witches, but those who were learned a lot from her, as they couldn't afford two kids going to Hogwarts. She was chosen because her mother was the pack leader, and also because she showed signs of great talent. Her talent was proven useless when she stopped attending Hogwarts, and her little teaching and showing to her younger siblings was proven useless too when they all died.

Isn't she the cutest ? Viktoria was so excited for her first year.

If you have OCs that attended Hogwarts from 1868 to 1870, this is for you lmao.

myah

my paimon age headcanon* is that she is like dave from kipo. she's technically a super old immortal** but also she Is a kid***. i was originally framing it as a phoenix sort of situation but dave from kipo has the same vibes plus like. being a person and not an animal and also being the same person (which, if i likened paimon to a vidyahara a la hsr, would not really be the case) *i flip flop between a few headcanons, namely the seelie one and this sort of phoenixy one. i really like paimon i have so many thoughts about her shes so interesting and sweet and ridiculous **i think the reason her memories are so inconsistent could be erosion at play. sometimes she can remember things and sometimes she is actually a really helpful guide but mostly she doesn't know what is going on and what she can remember seems so random. i also think theres some paimon lore in the wrio story quest so im actually gonna play that one just. not until the finals are done beating me up. so maybe this is all disproven there and i can stop flipflopping ***her interactions with other child characters (klee, diona, qiqi are the big three for this point) are definitely mentorly but in a fellow child sort of manner. she treats them like younger siblings typically. adult characters (albedo is the one i remember the best) often think of her as a child and she hasn't really objected to that, that i've noticed? she gets cranky about being called a pet, or food, or a toy (but still plays along sometimes because being in disguise etc etc, but she is noticeably unenthused about those labels) but i haven't really noticed her get upset about being called a kid. however, she is noticeably more helpful and more advanced than the littler child models. she seems to be similar to nahida (and they get along really well)(i really liked the paimon nahida interactions it always feels like paimon is trying to fit in with adults or babysitting kids but with nahida it felt like they matched better. despite nahida being well,,, a lot smarter). i think nahida is also a technically immortal but also kid sort of situation, but not in the same way as paimon is. nahida reminded me a lot of the aranara, with her reincarnation looking the same yet being someone else, with all the stuff about dreams, etc.. also the aranara are childlike and only knowable to children (and certain people with special circumstances) so . yeah. i think nahida is permanently in that kid but not state and paimon is currently in that kid but not state but i do kind of think paimon hasn't always been a kid, maybe possibly. i do definitely think shes existed for way longer than twenty years. but also shes kiddo.

anyway i love paimon. shes my son. id feel kinda bad for paimon haters cus she is in Every Single Thing except that like if u hate paimon why are u playing the paimon game? just to gamble???

[the-november-system]

Hello, I’m M, and hello to our blog.

This is for our system. We have recently been diagnosed with DID. we have very little understanding of official terms and things because of this. We’re still learning about what being a system is. Please don’t treat us poorly for this reason.

I (M speaking) , am the host.

This blog is just a place for me and everyone else to hang out and feel like we can share social media together and stuff without secrets. This is a part of myself nobody else knows about and we all intend to keep it that way. This is anonymous for that reason.

Below are bio’s for all of us. Everyone at this time wanted to be included. They wrote their own descriptions (minus click who doesn’t like to really talk, I wrote it for them.)

M: Main host, does a majority of the fronting. I am usually gonna be the one responding and doing things.

Pronouns: They/Them

Likes: Tea, drawing, Crochet, transformers

Dislikes: Flying bugs, overstimulation, confrontation

Niki: Hello, I am Niki :-) I'm the oldest individual within the system. I don't really front by myself, but I will do so from time to time. M tells me that I appear as a Guardian Angel to others, but I see myself more as just an assistant than something so grand. M seemed excited to have us all write down this Bio, so i was happy to do so. Thank you for reading.

Pronouns: He/Him

Likes: vintage aesthetics, naps, asmr, meditation

Dislikes: Maybe long work days? The others seem stressed by those which of course worries me.

Winslow: Hello everyone! The name’s Winslow, I'm not quite sure what to put here, so i guess i’ll just describe my interests? I'm super into dad rock, and love to have jam sessions while I clean and stuff. I'm also a sucker for Cozy games. The others find it funny that a tough guy like me enjoys some animal crossing, but hey, this guy knows what he likes! I'm also a lover of customization, pins, patches, piercings, ect. If I can make myself stand out I would like to do it! I aint livin my life as the color beige.

Pronouns: He/Him

Likes: Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, patches and pins and stickers

Dislikes: idiots on the road, hypocrites

Note: Winslow is proudly trans, FTM.

Click: Click is almost entirely non-talking. For the longest time, Click was very protective of their form, not showing themselves to anybody, but recently they drew themselves as a cloaked clown. Click communicates through noises, flapping, and only when necessary, speaking. They are able to, but it causes great discomfort. Click is able to clean and do tasks, but generally only enjoys fronting when alone. They’re very shy. Click commonly fronts when I need a break, and is great at self -care and soothing everyone else, however, they do struggle to soothe themself.

Pronouns: They/Them, or just refer to them by their name

Likes: colorful object, stim toys, liminal spaces, exploration, ambient music

Dislikes: speaking, loud sounds

Note: Click does want to be included in this, there is always a possibility they will want to be removed, but as of right now they were excited and enthusiastic on being included.

Melody: hi!!! I’m melody✨💕 I am a lover of all things pink, i'm a bit of a y2k girlie but i also like other stuff as well, i'm also super into Crochet like M, and i've been making such cute stuff and it's making me so dang happy!

I'm an eclectic witch (Me and M share this trait.), though we’re both new to this path. I will admit i'm a bit shy, but would love to try and be a bit more adventurous so feel free to say hello :)

Pronouns: She/ They

Likes: Flowers, green, the beach, candles

Dislikes: Catholicism/ Christianity (it's not necessarily a trigger but i don't like to talk about this, thank you :) ), Soda

Timothy: Sup I'm Tim. I don't get to be on here a lot because I'm not as “pretty” on paper as the others, so I'm honestly kinda surprised I was allowed to write this but whatever. I'm into horror movies and Metal music. I like hoodies too, my favorite color’s are blue and red. I also enjoy taking walks, I can be a bit of a hothead so it's nice to take a walk and get some fresh air.

[ravenouswreckage]

(( The more I think about it the more I realize there's an unspoken hierarchy to Miranda's partners, a hierarchy that's absolutely more natural to her in both her culture and in being a royal in their own specific subculture, but one that's a lot harder to describe to anyone else.

I think touch is a pretty good measure of it. Miranda does like to be touched and even has a preference for receiving, but most of her partners are discouraged from or just don't touch her. She can touch them and she gets them off, likewise getting off from more sight and a demonstration of her skills and the ability to pleasure someone else, but she doesn't want them to touch her. They are not allowed to touch her, and they are not allowed to enter her. They are her toys and she will do with them what she wants, but what she wants has very specific uses.

Partners that she likes more and is closer to, she allows to them to touch more or to enter her. This isn't to say she can't do so as a form of domination in its own right, but it's a different sort of preference, something that Miranda doesn't talk about. She doesn't talk about it or directly mention it, beyond telling people that they aren't allowed to touch her, or where she wants them to touch, but it's still there. Her preferred partners, those that she likes and wants the most, are most encouraged to touch her and to hold her, or even allowed to get a little rough with her.

Honestly, Miranda has... A complicated relationship with sex. There's already her existing sexual trauma, but then comes the cultural issues adding on top of it, making it hard for her to communicate intentions or emotions or even basic standards and wants. People don't understand things that are simple to her, and they don't understand why certain things are more complicated than they appear. She doesn't know how to communicate to landfolk what a casual merfolk fling looks like and how it's different from what she does with a landfolk, and she doesn't know how to talk about all of the tiny differences that make her tense up with a landfolk but be more than happy with another merfolk. Especially it doesn't help to add in her own trauma, and how her brain manages and compartmentalizes it in a merfolk lens that won't necessarily make sense to explain to a landfolk.

Especially not with how the land can treat her sometimes. It's often very rough for her, coming from a species and a culture which treats sex as a casual thing done for simple bonding and connection without a whole lot of pretense, a subculture which treats sex as a form of agreement that means that she has to be extra careful with even mentioning it without it potentially being used for blackmail or to lie about her, and going up to a place which often demeans her and treats her as an animal for her body and the way it functions, or fetishes her as less of a person and moreso just a sexual object. She can't do what she was taught to do without being labelled a prude, she can't do what her culture tells her is a simple social function without being labelled a freak or only isolated down to a sex object, she can't have sex in a way that doesn't feel upsetting or traumatizing to her without forcing someone through intense discussion of her people that she's not fully capable of doing and that they tell her to just stop before she even gets partially through it all.

She keeps getting conflicting messaging when it comes to social relationships and the merfolk relationship hierarchy, and that extends to sex too, where it feels like things break apart on too many axes for Miranda to ever truly want someone else to touch her.

[ideahat-universe]

I'm talking about Security Breach again because I've lost control of my life.

The upcoming ruin Expansion (or is it DLC) for the game is coming out and I still want the version of the original game we should have gotten.

They stopped working on it and they never figured out how to make that stealth work in a satisfying way and the chase system is broken as all hell.

Maybe they figured out in Ruin but I'm cynical to that idea.

Because to me, and I feel like this is a hot take but to me we've moved past the animatronics being scary.

The animatronics were scary when they were dead rotting bodies soiled into the carpet textures of the animatronics with the only signs of life being moans of pain and suffering. It's what made the original FNAF really creepy and it's why the Springtrap is the best Spring Bonnie outfit as it's all about the desiccated corpse rotting in the mangy springlock suit.

The horror of being killed, bleeding and oozing onto these lifeless objects and granting it life via possession is the winning formula.

But since the addition of "Remnant" the formula has been cheapened like coke when it went back to the classic formula but not really. We get possession the simple and clean way.

Robots being injected with the soul energy of the previous victims OR the "code" is evil and thus you get all the aspects of an evil animatronic minus all the narrative elements that made it compelling.

I really don't think we need the robots to be the scare factor in the stories anymore (especially if we outright refuse to have dead bodies that aren't Afton trapped in robotic bodies) so we should pivot towards Vanny, actually what we should have done is made it to where copies of the Glitchtrap virus were in every copy of The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience has a chance to infect the mind of the people who play it and have them carry out murders, not to revive Afton because "muh immortality" but because the Afton Virus compels people to kill irrationally and FNAF pizza places are just hunting grounds (again because the code compels them to seek out the vulnerable there) then we could have a series of video games in difference places with themed restaurants and even vastly different animatronics all with the central theme that a mind slaved person is killing people there.

The killer of the game would be the real sole villain and the animatronics do not try to kill you, on purpose.

It would be a different gimmick each game. Here's some examples: Toy style animatronics mistake you for the killer so they're always apprehending you instead of the real culprit and you have to trick the Toy animatronics into legitimately catching the real killer.

You're exploring the pizza place after it closed so while the night guard is looking to capture you the animatronics treat you to a good time and protect you from the killer.

A Fazbear escape room (one where the animatronics don't kill you but a killer is hiding in the room and waits for an opening).

Various period reenactment settings where visitors are expected to roleplay with the robots where the killer is disguised as a larper.

A real Circus baby carnival (where the killer functions a lot like the murderer in Bad Day on the Midway).

Animatronics at various zoo settings where the killer uses the animals to commit the murders.

A Fazbear fright that has functioning scare focused animatronics and a real killer hidden amongst them.

You're an engineer at a fazbear establishment and you have to program the performer and the security animatronics to find the right killer and apprehend them by plugging in clues for them to profile the culprit.

Pizzeria simulator but this time you are actually running a real pizza place with all the day stuff and in-between stuff the same but the night stuff is just you doing maintenance and making sure that if children start vanishing from the pizza place that you find out why and put an end to it quickly.

I could go on but you get the idea. We are not supposed to still be stuck on talking about the original 5 or so killed kids, Cassidy, or even the Afton family. The fire at the end of Simulator wasn't just to free the main characters but to free us from the constrictions of traditional FNAF.

If we can't escape the rinse repeat cycle of being at a FNAF location the day or week it gets shut down due to a killer who is either Afton or Afton related and then add 5 new loose ends while closing 3 old ones then as it turns out William Afton is not stuck in hell doomed to get jump scared for all eternity.

We are.

Transforming Trouble: Turning Behavioral Issues into Success Stories 

Dog behaviour problems can be disturbing for owners, but with the right strategy, these challenges can become examples of success stories. Each issue, like clearly barking or fear of separation, offers a chance for healing. This article will cover the most well-known social issues that dogs face, their root causes, and practical solutions that help with settling the issues and produce results.

Identify the main reason

There is always an underlying explanation for behavioural issues, and these causes can be related to environment, parenting, genetics, or health issues. For example:

In the early months of a puppy's life, improper socialising or early weaning may cause this.

A common cause of excessive barking is boredom, fear, or a demand for attention.

May stem from instincts of protection, fear, or frustration.

Dog owners and trainers can effectively treat behavioural issues by implementing targeted tactics that uncover the underlying cause of the behaviour.

The Value of Prompt Intervention

Similar to children, prompt action is essential to stop behavioural issues in dogs from getting stronger. Socialising dogs is important for teaching appropriate behaviour in them from an early age. Early contact with many different kinds of situations, people, and other animals can aid in a dog's development of lifelong confidence and ability to cope. At this point, constant positive feedback makes sure they understand what's proper.

An Important of Expert Dog Behaviorists: 

Taking help from a qualified dog behaviourist sacramento  is frequently the best line of action for owners who are unclear on how to handle their dog's behavioural problems. Behaviourists are qualified to evaluate dogs' requirements and develop specialised programs for them. They can spot trends that the owner might miss and use methods like these to work on changing the owner's behaviour.

Desensitization is the process of carefully introducing the dog to the thing that causes it to become fearful.

Teaching the dog to link a good object with the thing that causes its bad behaviour is known as counter-conditioning.

Example Case: A behaviourist can use desensitisation treatment to help a dog that is afraid of loud noises become less fearful of them by gradually exposing the dog to the noises.

Positive Reinforcement's Power

Using positive reinforcement is one of the best strategies for changing a dog's behaviour. Rewarding positive behaviour encourages dogs to repeat what is beneficial rather than punishing negative behaviour. Reward options include affection, praise, and treats.

Suggestions for Positive Reinforcement:

The Secret Is Consistency: Encourage positive conduct as soon as it occurs, making sure the dog understands that good behaviour is rewarded.

Start Small: Gradually progress to more sophisticated actions by starting with easy commands or tasks like "sit" or "stay".

Be Patient: Although positive reinforcement takes time and practice to become effective, the long-term benefits make it worthwhile.

Two Important Factors Physical Activity and Mental Stimulation

A number of behavioural issues can arise from a lack of mental and physical stimulation. Dogs require regular physical and mental exercise to keep focused and to burn off extra energy. Without these, they can start doing harmful behaviours like hole-digging or chewing on furniture.

Workout Advice for Behavioral Success:

Give your dog regular walks and playtime to satisfy his physical demands.

Give them mental challenges by giving them puzzle toys or training sessions.

If your dog is really active, you may want to look into agility classes or playtime with other dogs in order to provide them with mental and physical stimulation.

Effort and Patience

A dog's behaviour can be changed with time and effort. Although it won't happen right away, even the most problematic behaviours can be changed with perseverance and commitment. Owners must understand that setbacks are a typical part of the process and maintain cool while using regular training techniques.

Success Story: Crate training, progressive desensitization techniques, and expert behaviorist help were used to treat a dog that suffered from severe separation anxiety. The dog eventually grew accustomed to being left alone, and the awkward farewells gave way to pleasant ones.

It's important that business owners identify and enjoy small successes along the way. Each success is worthy of honour, whether it's the dog managing to sit quietly for a short while or learning how to maintain composure in the presence of strangers. These modest successes lay the groundwork for lasting changes in behaviour.

Dog behaviour issues are opportunities for growth, knowledge, and personal transformation rather than challenges to be conquered. When the right amount of understanding, professional guidance, tolerance, and positive reinforcement are used, even the most challenging habits may be turned into success stories. The key is to stay focused on the process, recognize your progress, and cultivate a strong bond with your animal partner along the way.

Transformation Hot Takes:

- Stereotypical toon tfs, not my thing, but actual cartoon character tfs, yes please.

- Mascot tfs into a generic mascot you just made up instead of existing ones..okay, but I prefer actual existing mascot character tfs, and by that mean I don't mean acting like mascots are sentient beings, that being sad...Pepsiman and The Noid should NEVER be used for TFs ever again because who wants to be those characters.

- Am I the only one who thinks that otaku/fat nerd transformations are offensive? I have an OC who is an overweight character and he very much thinks that the stereotypes associated with nerds and with overweight characters are offensive when it comes to transformations like this. Yeah, make as many whiny social media posts about me as you want, I just don't think a were-otaku who is fat and is bad at sex despite being so horny all the time is a good werecreature to have. Look, not all nerds are fat. And since when were nerds bad in the love-making department? I mean Sheldon Cooper has a girlfriend, Egon Spengler got himself a wife and has a daughter and two grandkids, and Ray got banged by a ghost, in a dream but still...he got to make out with a ghost. And if the AoE every turns people into bad cosplayers of husbandos for the were-otaku to lust over or into toys to be put into the 'love ooze' jar, no thank you.

- Why are suiting tfs even a thing, it's not a transformation, it's just sticking some person in a suit?

- Drones are disgusting and creepy in my opinion. Look I have nothing against robot tfs except when it's one that fetishes turning someone into a robot, nobody had their sexual awakening to Vera Webster in Superman III, so why act like it's hot to be a robot?

- I don't mind dark tfs but I really don't like animal transformations where the victim is unable to talk or think like a human. Also seeing good characters get corrupted is always going to make me feel uncomfortable.

- Bears make for a boring transformation subject. I mean in actuality all bears just eat and sleep, it is no different than being a house-cat or a sloth. I mean you might as well go for a sloth. But if you want an animal that sleeps a lot, you could have just gotten a koala instead since koalas are rarely used.

- The only inanimate transformations that i'd ever deem acceptable are living versions of Spirit Halloween, Transworld and Gemmy animatronics.

- Bimbofication is not my thing and never was.

- Transfurs and protogens are overrated, there I said it.

- Real person transformations are not evil/terrible/bad.

- Why is the kangaroo the go to marsupial transformation when the koala, bandicoot and wombat are right there?

- I don't mind character tfs into a character the artist/writer likes...however, I could do without the needlessly grim and dark tfs that try to emulate David Cronenberg especially if it's just a humanoid character they are turning into and could do without mind change.

- There are fish species besides sharks. Sharks are not as scary/badass as the media depicts them, try some tetras, or a blobfish, or an anglerfish, or even a piranha, or a stargazer.

- No matter how much creepy body horror you put into it...a clown tf is just a tf into another human being, stop treating them like a species. And also shouldn't be a thing.

- I have nothing against weight gain in transformations as long as it makes sense for a character/form to be that size, the person is happy, and if it's not overly fetishistic, often it falls into the fat fetishism category and it is treated like it's 'aspirational' to be overweight when it's actually not, stop objectifying overweight people and patronizing them, they aren't your object of desire. You know, when I do my Aykroyd transformations it's a joke in the stories that the were-aykroyd form is appealing to both men and women, and my characters is sometimes attracted to his were-aykroyd form, and it isn't because he's thicc in that form, it's because his charm is increased in that form, heck the dum dum were-aykroyd tfs are PARODIES of those fat fetish weight gain stories because dum dum were-aykroyds are considered a JOKE species of were-aykroyd in his main universe.

- Horror movie character transformations are rare and should be done more often.

- Cow transformations get a bad reputation because of the flatulence and fecal matter aspects that somehow always get shoved in.

We are social animals.

We aren't meant to be forced into a corner and made to be quiet.

We're taught that "behaving" means existing as little as possible so as to avoid disturbing the all powerful adults in any way. They teach us that the worst crime in the world is being an inconvenience.

Then we grow up and they expect us to just...not have any problems asserting ourselves and interacting with them.

They isolated us, they treated us like objects to be taken off the shelf at their leasure.

We are social animals.

We needed time with others. We needed to interact with the adults in our lives. We needed to be loud and to learn how to exist in a group.

When we should have been learning social skills and building our self confidence, they shoved us away and told us we were a burden just for existing.

Oh we feed you, house you, let you exist in our presence, you should be grateful we didn't abandon you on the streets.

No, it was their job.

It was their job to care for us. Their job to raise us. Spend time with us. Give us attention. They're the ones who wanted children.

Is it too much to ask not to be tortured by our guardians? Is it too much to ask not to be abandoned?

"Nobody owes you shit not even your family" BULLSHIT IF THEY DIDN'T WANT TO COMMIT TO RAISING A CHILD THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE FUCKING HAD ONE

We are social animals we are not toys we are not free therapy we are not the magic solution to our parent's bullshit failing marrage

The people squawking about how no one owes you anything are the same people who'll tell you just to go have kids causally and oh you'll figure it out, doesn't matter if you're actually capable or even willing. Oh you don't want kids? Go have one anyway you'll learn to love it you'll figure it out.

Having a child means you're in control of someone's entire life

A person's childhood shapes who they are, it shapes the entire rest of their life.

"No one owes you shit?" Your child doesn't owe you their mental health, they don't owe you their physical health, they don't owe you the lifetime of fucking struggle and suffering and PTSD from having to recover from the hellhole you raised them in.

Abusive parents take so much from their children and then whine about how much they're owed.

We are social animals, we needed kindness and friendship, we needed people we could depend on, we needed a family, we needed the freedom to exist.

We needed people to stop telling us to shut up and be quiet and be grateful we weren't being murdered.

Here is the second and final part of werewolf Alma and Mirabel Au. Hope I'm not bothering you.

________________________________

They couldn't believe they lost their home, the miracle was gone, all of their items and objects were in Casita ruins, no one didn't say a word, no one notice Mirabel weren't with them except for Antonio, Felix, Agustin, Luisa and Bruno they knew Mirabel was in her wolf form sitting in Alma arms.

the Guzman family came to see if the Madrigal family were alright, what they didn't expect when Alma set the wolf down the form began to transform into Mirabel, the family and a few people gasp at the sight but what made the took pity on the girl was her angry tears and her rubbing her red cheek.

First then she did was slap Pepa making her stumble back and Felix ran to Mirabel side and hugged the girl tight, apologizing for his wife and children sake but his poor niece bust in tears when she said her cheeks hurts, Alma slap Julieta before doing the same to Isabela, Camilo and Dolores then went back to her middle daughter and slap her twice as hard, to her it's been a long time since she had smack her kids and grandchildren.

"How could you mama, how could you slap me you old hag."

"No how could you hit a child, look at what you did, Alma pointed to Mirabel who had stopped crying was now glaring at Pepa. "You slapped her for no reason look at her cheek." She shouted at her daughter.

there were more people coming to see what the commotion about, Mirabel was being held by her dad, Antonio, Luisa were watching as more people came, in the meanwhile Bruno was smirking as his mom yelled at his sister, he waited so long for someone to put Pepa in her place.

"And yet you wonder why Antonio avoids you, it's because he sees what type of mother you are, he sees how you along with the others treat his cousin, your niece which made his avoid the others as well. You always lash out on the poor girl whenever she is around, you lash out on her past few weeks for hanging out on Felix, blame her for taking Felix away from you, you acted out like he cheated on you and for the sake give him a break, he isn't a toy,you lash out on him when he went against you, he doesn't deserves to be with some one like you and I don't know how he keep up with you. Today has gone too far, you had an argument with Felix when you caught him and Mirabel in the kitchen baking, you freaking slapped Mirabel until she transformed into a wolf." Alma yelled at her leaving her middle daughter in tears after giving her another slap.

Alma signs as she stopped in front Isabela and Dolores, she wouldn't slap them but they were grown and old enough to make her own choices, she sees Mariano standing behind Isabela as her eldest granddaughter gave her the look of please don't expose me face while Dolores had tears steaming down her face.

"Isabela, Dolores I'm disappointed in you both, you think I didn't know any words, door slamming, making her fall, trying or harm her in any way or that day Antonio came to and told me that Mirabel was lock up in your closet and Dolores you were with her so stop that crying. She scolds her granddaughters, Mariano walked away from Isabela after hearing what she had done.

"You both did so many bad things and didn't think I noticed it, I can't look at you both any longer. "Camilo, my grandson, Alma called making him flinch. "Why do you let your friends throw things at her, why do you hate her, you used to be close to her, what happened to that closeness.

"You know boys aren't supposed to put their hands on girls, even kicked small animals." Camilo stared at his grandma in fear which she tsk at him and shook her head. "You and your friends gave her a stomach ache, I'm sure you remember seeing a puppy roam around Casita or sometimes near the forest If I believe so, yep you kicked your cousin along with your friends." Camilo couldn't hide his guilt, he had a breakdown apologizing like crazy.

Alma stood in front to Julieta, her oldest disappointing her big time. "There are a thousand ways you are a disappointment to me my child, I don't have anything to say to you and I believe you know the answer." Her oldest daughter nodded her head.

As the lady stands in front Julieta, Pepa, Isabela, Dolores and Camilo and the others, she gave them the angriest look that made their and the other hairs stand up, they never seen her that mad except for her children, they seen her mad but this one. As Alma looks around at the crowd as they were pointing and whispering she begin to speak.

"I know you all have questions and I'm gonna answer it, The first thing is that Mirabel is a werewolf and so am I." The crowds started to whisper, her family that didn't know gasp, they couldn't believe it now they feeling more guilty.

"That little puppy everyone sees roaming around, maybe Luisa, Agustin or Antonio carried around was Mirabel all this time because there is no wolf that tame like we are but we don't mean no harm. As for the jealous family members." Alma said as she turned back to them.

"I never had favorites, I love every single of you equally and the reason why I gave Mirabel so much attention because she is a werewolf and they need help since they don't know how to control it and will be in pain whenever they started transforming and it's painful to see a child go through this. We were gonna tell you guys but ya'll jealousy got the best of you, all I can say is that I complete lost faith and trust in you guys, I know Mirabel won't trust any of you people anytime and I don't blame her because I ain't gonna forgive those who did her wrong, harm her and tried to blame her so we aren't gonna forget this."

"What will we do about Casita." Antonio ask.

"After we finish rebuilding our home everyone is set to have their own house, If the miracle did come back everyone is still set to have their own house because It's time for everyone to leave this house and get their own place... oh I forgot to say this but this house will belong to Mirabel when I pass." With that Alma started to walk away to talk to Camlio friends parents, speaking of the punishment of those who did her Mirabel wrong and talking about rebuilding of Casita with the townfolk.

Felix was now talking to Camilo and Dolores as they watched Antonio and the puppy running around, Julieta was with Agustin, Luisa and Iasbela, Bruno was with Alma while Pepa was on her way to her husband and kids.

"Pepa I will be spending the night at my parents house for a couple of days after, I just need some time off to rethink our marriage life because this relationship... I don't know how to explain it but I just need some time off, Antonio can come over as well as the others that was nice to Mirabel until I say so, I already told them this and they fine with it then said I deserve to be alone, now if you excuse me, I finna see the blueprint and what part the want me to take." Felix told his wife before she could say anything else.

All Pepa and Julieta could do is to watch their husbands as the walked over to the people, Pepa broke down but Julieta couldn't say anything since she was at fault for this. For one thing they felt was regret, guilt and felt dumb for letting jealousy taking over.

I had this since yesterday and didn't post because of distraction, but anyways sorry if this is too long and sorry if I'm bothering you.

D

DAMNNNNNNN ☠️☠️

Not gonna lie, its nice to see them standing up to the other family's behavior. I'm glad they didn't just let it slide, letting them give a half asses apology and a slap on the wrist. Its not okay to that kind of stuff, especially to faniky, no matter how jelous you may be. Get a straw and suck it up <33 I don't think they'd divorce or anything, but Agustin and Felix are definitely gonna have a very long talk and possible week or two away from Julieta and Pepa. And Pepa had no right to hit Mirabel wtf ☠️☠️ shiii all of them deserve to be booted, their behavior has no excuse. There's thing called communication. I think they should practice it 👹👹

Anyway, I never think snippets are bothersome, they're so fun to read 😩😩 speaking of, with all this angst lately, I might do some fluffy Mario or Housebroken tings <333

hey you know what stupid fucking tiktok trend really sucks?

chasing cats around with christmas trees to "traumatize them" into being too scared to go near it. THAT SUCKS. You suck for doing it! you are, objectively, a horrible person for abusing an animal for your benefit and amusement, especially if you record it while laughing like a hyena and then proceed to post it on social media. You should feel bad. Instead of fucking your cat up mentally and scaring it for no reason, perhaps spray your tree with a bittering agent, or pay more attention to your cat!

Make a forage box! Throw some baked leaves in a cardboard box and mix in some treats and let them go to town. Get a better cat tree. Get a snuffle mat. Get interactive toys. Pet your cat. Show your cat the tree at a safe distance!

Just like. for the love of fucking god pls stop abusing your animals just bc you think it's funny. You are a jackass.
