#but I'll forgive it because it's just so concerned with being a silly fun time that of course its brains fall out of the plot. one element

Night Monster (1942)

"Why don't you have Millie do that, Miss Judd? That's a maid's work, not a housekeeper's. You needn't answer because I know the reason: that spot under your hand is blood and you didn't want anyone to know."

"Blood? Ridiculous."

"Yes, it is ridiculous. It couldn't be blood, but it is. I've seen those spots before and I've seen you trying to scrub them out because you knew what they were. Blood, the whole house reeks of it. The air is charged with death and hatred and something that's unclean!"

Does Dogday have any bad or annoying habits?

✧. ┊ 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐷𝑜𝑔 𝑂𝑙𝑑 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑠

Oh, absolutely! Dogday has a few little habits, good and bad. Some slowly died down after a while but these are just a few I could think of rn :3

Teeny tiny CW for this one! There is mentions of some destructive behavior such as hoarding and codependency. It's not too detailed but I wanted to let you guys know before reading!

Old habits die hard

He has a lot of old habits that were drilled into him during his time at playtime co. Like

Talking in third person. 

Following a strict schedule. 

Scolding you when you swear etc. 

It takes a bit, but eventually he's able to catch and stop himself. 

Sometimes he'll mess with you and speak in third person, all you can do is sigh and stare. 

Oh no! Our table! It's broken!

He breaks things, ALOT. He sometimes forgets his strength and has a habit of gripping objects a bit too hard that they break. 

Your phone? What phone? 

Your laptop? He has no idea how that happened. 

We don't talk about how the railing came off of the wall, even though he doesn't know how it happened! 

What's mine isn't yours

As much as he trusts his angel, he can never be too sure. 

He keeps cans of food or anything he can snack on hidden as a “just in case”. When you four escaped he used to be very territorial when it came to food. Not that he wanted to be. 

He knows he can trust you, but he also knows from experience anything could easily be taken away, so expect him to be territorial with food or gifts for the first few months and expect to find stale food hidden under your bed too. 

What's yours is his

Literally. 

Dogday hates being apart from you, he has a bit of separation anxiety. He'll even “borrow” your stuff when you're gone. 

Clothes? He can't wear them, so he'll make a little nest on your bed with them. 

Getting him to wake up and move from the pile so you can put your stuff away is a struggle. The amount of torn and ripped clothing you have accumulated is concerning. Coming home to your favorite sweater or shirt being ripped and torn under his weight while he's in dreamland isn't fun, but once again, he has no idea how that happened. Strange. 

Paranoia and over thinking until he drops. 

He tends to overthink and rambles alottttt to himself when you're not there. Poppy has a hard time snapping him out of it. He can't help it, if something happens to you he'll never be able to cope plus he would never forgive himself for not being able to protect you.

Whenever you're home, he's basically glued to your side. Privacy? You don't know her! 

He keeps an eye on everyone and sometimes walks around the property at night to make sure it's safe.

As much as you reassure him, he still can't shake the feeling that something followed the four of you out. 

Manners? Not in this house, apparently. 

He's a bit of a messy eater and slurps his food. 

Everyone agrees he should be more mindful of his eating habits, but he can't help it. It's good! 

It was cute at first, seeing him enjoy his first proper meal after so long, but cleaning the mess and himself wasn't. 

The look of disapproval and disgust on your faces was enough for him to stop. 

Keep your tongue to yourself please

Whether it be affectionate or because you have food on your face, it doesn't matter. He will lick you! You think it's gross, Poppy thinks it is absolutely disgusting, and Kissy just sides-eyes him when he does. The table was silent the first time it happened. He sees nothing wrong with it, so expect it to happen again. 

A/N: I really had fun with these, I know I'll probably think of more in the future lol he's a silly dude we love him in this house. Thanks for reading and here's your order! 🍰☕

Sprout Journal 11/10/24

Hey tumblr friends!! I am feeling so much better today than I was yesterday. I'm hoping that yesterday was a bit of an outlier. The feelings I had were a combination of yearning and mourning, a continued sense of loss from partner and a desire to be something with them again. But.. I was being a little bit outrageous. The thing that triggered it all was silly and mundane, and truthfully I'm more than a little disappointed that I didn't stop for a moment and choose one of my multitude of ways to comfort myself rather than just tweaking out. Either way, last night and into this morning I started feeling a lot better. Not the least of which was a really important conversation with The Bnuuy - hopefully one of the last serious ones we have to have. We both laid out some more feelings, concerns about what a return to a relationship might look like, and a continued conversation about what to expect from each other. I think that... I'm feeling a lot better about being their bestie now because of those talks. I still am yearning!!! But hopefully I'll be able to keep myself calm by remembering that.. I am still a flawed person who has suddenly been thrust into the need to grow again, and it's okay to take time to adapt. I need to forgive myself for slipping up sometimes, these moments of pain are new to me, too. Today was a really fun day actually! It was my best friend's (not my like.. former partner The Bnuuy best friend like my other bestie) sisters borthday today! I've known them all for like a decade+ so I get invited to their bday outings and today I was actually able to attend for once!! They picked me up around three and we headed out to an anime themed restaurant in a mall about 55 miles from our hometown! It was a really fun time honestly. We laughed so much on the road and truthfully I felt like part of their family, they are such magical people it's crazzyyyy. I got myself some katsu chicken on rice and a little cutesy drink flavored like raspberries!! After the restaurant we went to an arcade and played a bunch of games :D we mostly did claw machines alskdjfaskjdf I got my friends sibling a Sasuke plush from one of the machines WHICH WAS AWESOME EBCAUSE I HAVE NEVER WON A CLAW GAME BEFORE!!!! We had a ton of fun there. After that, we hopped back into the car and went to a UDF for some ice cream :3 I got a cone of caramel swirl that I had to put into a bowl because they gave me too much and it was melting everywhere alkjsdfaskdf it was so tasty though!!! That pretty much concluded the night, it was so fun but sorta exhausting!!! Tomorrow morning I have my first doctors appointment in like a decade. I'm sorta nervous!! It feels weird finally breaking out of the weirdly anti-medical "because it's too expensive" attitude of my dad and actually taking care of myself now. I have this checkup tomorrow and then later in the month I have an eye doctor appointment that I think will probably result in me getting glasses. Anyways I feel like I could've shared more details but the issue with these journals is that I get soooooo tired so fast at night and I'm typing them when I've got the least energy. Maybe I'll switch to typing them the next morning about the previous day at some point? Probably not. I love you all! Goodnight tumblr! Thank you for listening <3
