sooo, she flashes him her titties as a distraction and ends up getting him pinned. you can turn it into smut or end it there, your pick

love your writing 💙💙

DEAR GOD YOURE SO FUCKING RIGHT ALL THE TIME ILY, i had a SLIIIIGHTLY different image for this so HEAR ME OUT

johnny cage > eyes on the prize

warnings: Oh, these? My boobies? My massive fucking titties? My super stuffed milkies? My honker bonker doinky boinkies? My fucking fabric stretching wind flapping gravity welling sex mounds? You mean these super duper ultra hyper god damn motherfucking tits?

[ part 2 ] [ masterlist ]

after the time merger, your boss seems uneasy seeing his younger self parade around the compound like he owns the place. you're unfortunately put up to the task as babysitting him.

"private," the older counterpart summons you to the center of the room. "keep an eye on him for me, yeah? he's... well, he's me, and i don't trust him one bit." you both glance over to younger johnny, who is kicking his feet up and browsing IMDB - his own page, to be specific - with no regard for authority. you nod and walk off, approaching the younger star who doesn't notice you at first.

"mr. cage," you try to get his attention, leaning down to his level as he sits. johnny tears his eyes away from the screen to catch a good look at you in your uniform, pulling his sunglasses down his hooked nose. "captain cage requested i accompany you around the compound for safety as the time merge is figured out."

"oh, i'll follow you anywhere, beautiful," he replies smoothly, clicking and winking up at you. your face heats up, this is your... almost-boss. this version wasn't with sonya, doesn't have a kid. a part of you wonders if your present johnny also finds you attractive if this is how his younger version behaves. you'd always found him hot, but that was something you kept to yourself for the sake of his family and your career.

johnny snaps in your face with a twisted expression. "hey, since you're here, the future sucks! i've been here for an hour and i haven't seen one jetpack. not one!" he holds a finger in your face, and you can't help but stare down at him in bewilderment. how did this man become the captain of the special forces??

his complaints sprout an idea, as you try to divert his annoyance. "the special forces compound contains plenty of advanced technology. would you care for a tour?" you suggest politely, gesturing out of the room.

johnny seems intrigued by your offer, willing to follow you around like a dog if it meant getting a good view of your ass the whole way. it's your figure that intrigues him the most.

"older me was a dumbass for not tappin' this," johnny very loudly exclaims as you two walk down a hallway, making you pinch the bridge of your nose. "i might have to alter my destiny... there's no way you fight with a pretty body like that."

"the members of S.F. are put through extensive physical training and discipline. i can fight, mr. cage," you reply curtly, not all too impressed by his catcalling, though his boldness amuses you.

"yeah?" he asks playfully, jogging in front of you to walk backwards as he glares at you through his shades. "care to prove it? you lose, you give me your number."

"and if you lose?" you question, crossing your arms.

"then i give you my number." jesus, he was dumb. hot, but dumb. it was impossibly hard to remain professional in front of him. you entertain his bait and open a side door that led to the garage. it was spacious and full of various tools, vehicles and weapons. the crew often met there for mass debriefs and announcements, but served as a perfect sparring location.

"you're on, dollface," johnny sneers, readying himself with an overdramatic flourished war cry. "but first, no handicaps. take all that off." he waves at your vest and various equipment strapped to you. you shake your head and sigh, readying your own pose after shrugging the extremities off and kicking them to the side. it was johnny in his coat giving you a delicious view of his chest, and you in your skin-tight underclothes. you figured regardless you'd have an advantage against johnny considering you were familiar with his fighting style, but his strength outmatched you easily. he was twice your size in muscle, after all. didn't really matter just how much studying you put into his mannerisms in combat.

his powers proved to be a significant advantage as well, doubling his strikes when most humans could only land one in the time it took. each punch you threw was parried embarrassingly easily, and each kick was matched with an even swifter swing.

despite being military trained, you couldn't help but find the fight fun. johnny would grab hold of you and spin you around, as if you were dancing, or flash one of his signature smiles at you when he felt more in charge. he'd cackle when you made a fool of yourself, swinging at nothing.

one of his backflip kicks infused with his powers knocked you straight on your ass, and johnny towers over you with a devilish grin. his legs are spread, with you on the floor between them as you catch your breath.

"do you yield, sweet thing?" he asks, bending forward to hover his face over yours. you cringe, holding your side as you try to get up, but johnny just places his boot on your chest. "you were all bark and no bite, sweetheart."

as you regain your composure, thoroughly displeased with the outcome of the battle, you get an absolutely evil idea.

"how about you get a bite of these?" you ask, smirking. your fingers find the hem of your shirt and pull upward, revealing your bra and your breasts spilling from the fabric as you lay on your back. the chill of the room defines the shape of your nipples through the bra, and johnny's eyes fixate - hard. his sunglasses comically slide down his nose and clatter to the floor, his puppy eyes wide and wanting at the sight of your barely clothed chest.

when you know for a fact he's transfixed, you swat his foot off of your chest and curl your body before placing a hard upward kick into his balls, making him yell out and stumble backward.

you stand up and brush yourself off, beaming at the actor for besting him at his own shallow game.

"you - ngh -" johnny whines and clutches his crotch, pointing a finger at you accusingly. "i yield."

you shrug innocently, reaching a hand out to him considering your positions were now fully swapped. "gotta keep your eyes on the prize, cage."

you hoist him up with a grunt, patting his shoulder.

"oh, believe me," he breathlessly chuckles. "i was." he smiles crookedly.

...did you just flash your soon-to-be-boss? is this gonna alter the timeline...?

I could think about Bernie the mailman as an everyman, as Just Some Guy, who whistles while he works, who wants to do his job well and go home to his husband and dog. I could think about Bernie the mailman as a mail carrier who is proud of his 100% delivery rate and wants to get the state record even though he works in a bonkers train city. I could think about Bernie the mailman as the descendent of a long line of mail carriers with mysterious mail-delivery superpowers which allow him to deliver letters without a proper address. I could think about Bernie the mailman as an audience stand-in, waiting expectantly for people to open their letters from Michael, keen to hear them read the letters out (and perhaps disappointed if they aren't ready yet). I could think about Bernie the mailman as a tool of the narrative, enabling a kind of delayed but significant communication. I could think about Bernie the mailman as a representation of the way that harsh truths, important lessons and emotionally complicated revelations can seek people out in unexpected places. But at any rate I am finding myself thinking about Bernie the mailman a lot more than I expected.

Would you say that art school is worth it? I've heard horror stories from lots of art school students who say that they didn't learn anything because they were too concerned with getting their massive load of homework done asap without actually retaining the lessons the assignments were supposed to teach them. Do you feel like you've learned a lot?

mmmmm im gonna say i dont think its possible to be forced to do massive amounts of drawing without retaining anything. a lot of learning as an artist is just brush mileage- racking up experience by working with the same tools a bunch of times. i definitely feel like im learning a lot, because even when im not paying attention to the lectures, i have to do work every day, which makes my art muscles stronger through use. (also, homework is assigned so that you actually apply the things you learned in those lessons)

aside from just racking up a bazillion “brush miles,” i do feel like ive learned stuff! some of the things i already knew but didnt know how to use/contextualize correctly, and some of the things are concepts that i had never heard of before.

also, and this is a HUGE one, art school is about training you for your field. when youre not learning new techniques, you are learning to do a bonkers in yonkers amount of work at once, VERY QUICKLY. that’s a valuable skill to hone! Knowing how to work with deadlines is part of your artistic progress.

one of the main things ive taken from art school is that my standards for a “small piece” are WAAAYY bigger now. Drawing anything besides the human face used to feel like a huge mountain to climb, but now I can draw the interior of a room for a background without thinking twice about it. When I sketch, I now think more like “What’s the coolest composition I can come up with, and what elements can I use to make it?” and less like “I have to find a way to hide the parts I don’t know how to draw well”

here’s an example! i drew this about 4 years ago, and drawing this window/exterior was a HUGE deal for me. It felt like a massive undertaking.

I took forever to render the water, and I wasn’t interested in trying to render the curtains at all because they were difficult. The window was my main focus in the drawing.

Fast forward to now! My professors didn’t teach me how to specifically draw curtains and windows, but now I’m less intimidated by them. I’m so comfortable adding elements like this that it’s not even the focus! It’s just a background element that I didn’t NEED to have, but I can include it now because it doesn’t feel like such an undertaking anymore.

(This is a work in progress btw)

And the best part? This doesn’t even feel like a big piece to me anymore! Simply drawing a person from the waist up in this pose might have been really scary for me before. Now that I’ve stretched myself, a composition with a person AND a dog AND a window AND an outside scene isn’t intimidating at all.

ANYWAY this was a very long winded way for me to say YES, i have learned plenty here! Just some of it isn’t the stuff I expected to learn, like light and shadow, but instead how to manage myself and talk about my work.

We got a little chatty over our newfound common love for dogs and everything vegan. Here are the excerpts of the chat I had with her.

How did you come up with such a unique concept? What was the inspiration behind it?

I have been a canine nutritionist formulating fresh-food diets for dogs for more than a decade. I have also been an ethical vegetarian for about 15 years and a vegan for about two years. For a long time, I continued to formulate meat-based diets for dogs because, like many people, I believed the myth that dogs need meat to thrive. This did not feel right to me, though, and I made the decision that I could no longer contribute in any way to animal suffering, so I decided not to formulate any more diets with animal ingredients. I wondered if I would have to give up my canine nutrition profession, which I was willing to do, or if I could somehow marry my passion of helping dogs live longer, healthier lives through diet with my passion for animal welfare.

I did a ton of research and spoke with leading experts on the topic of plant-based dog nutrition from all over the world. And, I was delighted to find that dogs can THRIVE on nutritious, properly balanced plant-based diets! In fact, many of the veterinarians I spoke with enlightened me as to the toxicities of modern animal products and how they might be a large contributing factor to the skyrocketing incidences of chronic diseases in dogs, including cancer. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head and I had this real “aha!” moment. Not only are animal-based diets cruel, they are unnecessary and possibly even harmful for dogs! I decided that I had to take this knowledge and create a movement of positive change for dogs, for all animals and for the planet. That’s how Plant-Powered Dog was born!

Tell me more about it…

Plant-Powered Dog is a vegan lifestyle brand dedicated to helping dog guardians and their canine companions live a compassionate plant-based lifestyle. Our first major initiative is the Plant-Powered Dog Food Summit, streaming online for free March 12-19. The summit brings together 17 global leaders in the fields of plant-based veterinary nutrition, science and animal activism to show people why, and how, to raise thriving dogs on a plant-based diet. It’s going to be awesome!

Coming up with such a maverick concept couldn’t have been easy. What were the initial challenges you faced?

Feeding a vegan diet to dogs is a revolutionary concept, and it’s human nature to resist change and cling to the “known”, even when the “known” is flawed or outdated. Given that, the major challenge continues to be convincing people of the fact that dogs are omnivores, not carnivores, and that they can thrive on a well-balanced plant-based diet; even that animal ingredients may be harming their dog.

For decades, special interest groups and even some popular holistic veterinarians have spent a lot of time and effort marketing the myth that dogs are household versions of wolves who need to eat meat to be healthy. Plant-Powered Dog is a new and alternative voice in this field, and as such we are striving to open people’s minds to new possibilities and perhaps to even turn their notion of what’s healthy food for dogs upside down. That’s a huge endeavor, but this is a revolution and we’re in it for the long haul!

Well, listening to this, am truly intrigued. I have a dog too but I guess I never thought this way. I’m wondering… dogs love treats. In fact, they live for it. Are they equally excited for plant-based treats? Is training them easy with such treats?

Dogs love plant-based treats! Who wouldn’t love a juicy, sweet piece of watermelon on a hot day? My dog Chase went bonkers for watermelon! Berries, either fresh or frozen, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and green beans also make wonderful treats. Chase even went crazy for cucumber! He also loved dehydrated sweet potato chews. You just need to discover your dog’s favorite plant-based treats and have fun doing it. And don’t forget that every dog’s favorite treat, peanut butter, is plant-based! Just be sure it doesn’t contain the artificial sweetener xylitol, which is toxic for dogs. Of course, be sure to never feed any toxic foods for dogs, including xylitol, grapes, raisins or onions. Always check first!

Diana With Her Dog Chase

Is it healthy for dogs? What do you think would motivate dog owners to consider plant based diets for their pooches?

Dog guardians must consider plant-based diets because it is a simple, compassionate and effective way to help save our planet and all life on it. We are now entering the world’s 6th mass extinction due to climate change, and meat consumption by companion animals is a major contributing factor. According to a study by Dr. Gregory Okin of UCLA, production of meat to feed companion dogs (and cats) in America produces about 64 million tons of greenhouse gases every year, equivalent to driving about 13 million cars. I also think that if most people really understood the inhumanity of what animals on factory farms endure, they would be turned off to eating meat. Feeding a plant-based diet to our companion dogs can help us spare these animals from horrible lives of torture and slaughter and in so doing foster more kindness and compassion in our own lives. Fortunately, dogs are omnivores who can thrive on a nutritious, well-balanced plant-based diet. In fact, some of the longest-lived dogs in the world have been vegan! And, in many instances, a plant-based diet can clear up issues such as animal-based food intolerance, irritable bowel disease, skin issues and it has even been reported to reduce aggression. The key is for the diet to be well-balanced for the individual dog’s specific situation, which is the case for any diet, whether it is plant-based or animal-based diet.

When the world is still warming up to the idea of cruelty free living, it must have been hard for you, initially, to advocate plant based diets for dogs. How do you deal with critics who emphasize that dog need meat based diets to meet their protein requirements?

I think it’s important to get a sense of whether you can open someone’s mind by presenting them with facts or if they are closed off emotionally to the concept. For those whose criticism I feel is based on misinformation, I will provide them with references or resources. For example, I can show them a wonderful book with a chart showing how many plant-based foods contain much higher percentages of protein per calorie than meat because meat is high in fat. I will never become entangled in debates with those who are close-minded based on blind emotion. The beauty is that in the U.S. alone, there has been a 600% increase in people identifying as vegans in just the past three years and this number will continue to grow based on the popularity of veganism among younger generations. So, there are plenty of people who are interested and receptive to the concept of feeding their dogs a plant-based diet. I understand that I can’t change everybody and I choose to focus on the people who I can positively impact.

Well, I sure am motivated! I am a little curious about how did you dabble into this field? There must have been some eureka moment when you realized plant-based lifestyle is the need of the hour.

I have been a writer for about 25 years. I have always loved language and the written word and the positive change that can be accomplished through its power. It wasn’t until I adopted my own dog, Chase, from the shelter back in January 2002 that I also became interested in canine nutrition. Chase came to me with a myriad of health conditions, including severe gastrointestinal and skin issues. After “experimenting” with a home-made, fresh-food diet, I was shocked to find how quickly he recovered. The results I had with Chase sparked an interest in me to help other dogs live longer, healthier lives through fresh-food nutrition. I earned my Masters in Animal Science and co-authored two leading books on dog health and nutrition with Dr. Jean Dodds, plus I have written award-winning articles for dog magazines.

But Chase taught me about a lot more than just canine nutrition. Since Chase was a rescue dog, he taught me about the plight of animal suffering. Understanding the suffering of dogs and cats expanded my consciousness to the suffering of all animals, especially the horrors endured by animals on factory farms. I couldn’t just love and protect one species while ignoring the suffering of others. So, I became vegetarian about 15 years ago and vegan about two years ago. And as I told you, most recently, I have dedicated myself to spearheading a vegan dog nutrition movement called Plant-Powered Dog to help people feed their dogs a compassionate plant-based diet that respects the lives of all animals and our planet.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey – Review

I never understood why people would say that a game “won them over”, or that they hated a game when they started playing, but then they grew to love it. I am more much more binary when it comes to my opinion of what I play. Either I like something or I don’t, and it has never taken more than twenty minutes to make up my mind. That is, until I reviewed Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.

After playing for about an hour, I had originally vowed to write an utterly scathing opinion piece on this trash. I hated it, and such a poorly-made game deserved to be thrown to the wolves. Still, in the back of my mind I knew I was missing something which made me pick it up one more time just for the sake of being objective. To my absolute surprise, I now find myself… a little obsessed, really.

Monkey see, monkey do.  The green orb at the bottom is a general indication of your current character’s overall vitality, including thirst, hunger and sleep.

I still don’t think Ancestors is a masterpiece, and I will mention some of the lamentable (but inexcusable) booby-traps that Panache Digital Games have stumbled into. However despite the cryptic nature of the gameplay, I eventually found an interesting and refreshingly original rendition of the survival genre here once I was willing to dig deep enough.

A monkey’s tale

Be honest, we all bolted upright like a dog hearing its food bowl at the mention of Patrice Désilets’s name. He’s the guy who left Ubisoft from the Assassin’s Creed and Prince of Persia franchises and founded Panache Digital Games to make Ancestors.

Unlike Patrice’s previous undertakings though, Ancestors is not an action RPG. This is a purebred survival and crafting game set in prehistoric Africa where our forefathers first walked the jungle.

The game opens with an exhilarating cut scene of fearsome animals like crocodiles, razor-beaked birds and sabre-toothed cats ravaging one another as just another day in prehistoric Africa. The message is clear; this is a hostile and dangerous world for the early humanoids. Yes, the word is ‘humanoid’ and not a monkey or a gorilla as people who don’t know their evolution keep saying on YouTube!

As someone who lives in Africa, I can attest this happens every day… when you go on safari

I took on the role of an alpha female as part of a clan that have settled at the foot of the waterfall, and I was instantly impressed with the world that the developers have set their game in. The vast, lush jungle (complete with day/night cycle) was enormous filled with gigantic trees, lakes and rocky cliffs probably rendered to scale. It is all yours to explore, to look for food and for gathering resources.

Unfortunately, the camera handles like it was being held by a an ADD 5-year-old chugging Red Bull. If it’s not bobbing like a cork or veering off, the player is constantly staring up our early ancestors’ arses. Throughout my entire playthrough, I felt like I always had to fight a bit with the game to aim the camera where I needed it to go. It felt like Ancestors was training me to be a primate proctologist.

I started following the first and only objective that the game will ever give you: Find and rescue the clan’s lost baby. These early humans possessed a heightened sense of smell, hearing and vision which the player can use to identify most of their surroundings. After locating the baby, I slid down a tree with all the dexterity of a seasoned primate and proceeded towards the objective marker.

Son, please don’t run off again while your mother and I mate in front of you, okay?

Mistakes were made

The little guy was hiding underneath a rock and I gave him a piggyback ride back to the nest just like the monkeys I saw on BBC the other day. It was then, once I returned to the nest, that I experienced exactly what about 95% of all day one players ran into: Absolutely no indication of what to do next. No further objective markers, no tutorials and no stats meters. Bugger-all.

Suddenly I appreciated the true gravity of these words in the opening scene

I get that this experience of the unknown was meant to replicate the situation of our actual ancestors, but it is all just too much too soon and the game punishes you severely for getting it wrong. Every now and then I like a game that doesn’t hold your hand, but it needs to happen more organically and logically through the gameplay. I cannot say that is the case here.

This is even more bizarre when you consider Ancestors actually lets you adjust how much on-screen info you want before starting your new lineage (or clan). Why even bother if players who stipulate they prefer some help are not going to be assisted anyway? No wonder so many people were put off.

I would be equally happy for discovering this egg if I knew what it was for. Also, notice how dark this game is? I wish they had gone for a more vibrant colour scheme.

Okay, I thought, my overgrown chimpanzee must want food, right? There is a green orb at the bottom of the screen that was beginning to fill with red, which means it has to eat or drink I’m guessing. Either that or it is preparing to fling poop at something. I spotted some berries hanging from a bush and followed the prompt to gorge myself on the red fruit.

Big mistake. Turns out the berries give you an upset stomach, meaning the humanoid looked like it was REALLY about to fling poop everywhere. Here Ancestors also committed one of the Seven Deadly Sins of gaming: It makes the screen go all wobbly and wonky to simulate the ape’s churning gut.

In fact, whenever you get poisoned, high off mushrooms, cold, frightened, or for no particular reason, Ancestors simply loves to make your screen go bonkers. I HATE it when games do this since this is a hopelessly outdated way of simulating a characters experiencing trauma. Too many other games have found better ways of conveying these situations to the player.

The only thing I could see around the nest was more berries, so I broadened my search to find some primordial antacid. It was then with my poor visibility that I missed a jump, causing my already suffering alpha female to plummet off a high branch and break a bone when she hit the ground. So now my clan leader is both sick and limping. The human race is really off to a rocky start.

I finally figured out that water helps with the stomach problems at least, so I waded deeper into the river to settle in for some drinking… which is when a green mamba locked its venomous fangs on the ape’s arm from behind a tree. Now I can add poisoning to my list of woes, and the screen looked like vomit at this point making it really hard to see anything.

“No,” I said as I hit exit, “no, no, no. Screw this. Maybe the human race was meant to go extinct. You’ll thank me later mother earth.” I left the game, and didn’t play again for a day as I plotted my review vendetta.

Let’s do the monkey

Before I munched on those deadly dingleberries, I did some exploring around the settlement and noticed a variety of interactions and crafting options that I did not quite understand (because the stupid game failed to explain them). Perhaps the answer lay here. Perhaps there was something more beneath this horrid first impression and the developers’ pathetic attempts to help you in their game.

It was at this point that I stumbled upon a streamer by the name of TagBackTV on YouTube. If my attempt at playing Ancestors was a patient in the head injury ward doing a cowbell solo, he played like a symphonic orchestra conducted by Hans Zimmer. This guy had evolved the hunched little clan of simians into a bipedal army holding hunting expeditions through the Savannah wielding stone tools and weapons.

According to my friends, this is still pretty much how I cook today. Seriously though, bashing the leaves with a rock makes a medicinal paste.

Confident that it could be done I spent hours on Reddit, watched instructional videos and finally summoned the courage to try again. This time, Ancestors felt like a completely different game. Now I was watching my clan grow and survive because I was teaching them to adapt and become smarter. Suddenly, it was 2:30 in the morning and JUST ONE MORE GENERATION AND I PROMISE I WILL GO TO BED.

Like all good survival games, Ancestors has this internal rhythm and momentum for the player to fall into. Once you learn a set of basic gameplay mechanics, you gain the confidence and knowhow to apply them in more complex tasks. In other words, once you understand the law of the jungle, it becomes a place of exploration and opportunity rather than one big death trap.

See, the aim of the game in Ancestors is to help your little clan of humanoids survive the harsh landscape of prehistoric Africa by building up their neuron cells. In other words, the player must give the early humans bigger brains, which in turn makes each successive generation (the babies) smarter and more capable in their environment.

Ancestor’s version of a ‘tech tree’. The white orb in the middle is how much neuronal energy you have to make links to other neurons. More babies makes you gather neuronal energy much faster.

In the opening sections, players will mostly learn the ABCs of just getting around the jungle, what to eat and avoid, and how to keep a keen eye out for predators. While the latter becomes annoying at times, the developers have programmed their AI really well since they can sneak up on you completely silently. I needed to change my underwear a few times after a crocodile lunged at me out of the water, or a sabre-toothed cat suddenly jumped out of the undergrowth.

Example of an upgrade as you develop the brain of the apes

After those neurons have been developed and you have passed through a few generations, you find that you can eat even the most poisonous foods and kill even the most intimidating predators with a self-made spear. Players will learn how to use stone tools not just to make weapons, but also to grind plants into paste for making medicinal products.

After every major evolution the distant descendants of the clan you started off with will find themselves in a new environment. From the jungle the player will eventually move to grass planes, the arid savannah, and even the sea shore. Again, these environments are HUGE and each one presents a unique set of challenges which is a great way to keep the repetitive gameplay fresh and engaging.

Staying in touch with your roots

The survival genre is an exciting area to explore for gamers these days. Games like Subnautica, the comeback of No Man’s Sky, and now Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey show that studios have a unique confidence here to turn some interesting concepts into games. As a community we should consider supporting these flawed but ambitious projects so that they can evolve into bigger and more refined products, and Ancestors is no exception.

That’s what you get for attacking my clan. Oh crap… did I just cause cats to go extinct!?

Do try this game if you have the means or the time, but make sure you do a substantial amount of background research before you click that icon. While the developers were morons for not easing the players into this complex experience, all gamers should try their hand at witnessing the very birth of our species.

How To Make a Bonker DIY Dog Training

How To Make a Bonker DIY Dog Training

A bonker is one of the best training tools that we have found in dog training to stop an unwanted behavior that your dog is doing. It is made from a simple cotton towel secured with rubber bands.

It is one of the best tools we have found to stop arousal in dogs, to stop barking, charging the door, reactivity, aggression, nonsense in the crate and so many more.
