more dog advice: if you have a big dog or a dog who pulls, i highly recommend a head harness. it's basically a horse halter for dogs and it is an excellent, fast way to fix like 80% of leash pulling basically instantly without pinching or poking the dog.
dogs love to pull with their necks and shoulders so basic flat collars can sometimes just be ignored by dogs who are already used to being bad walkers. Gentle Leader is the original brand name but I think any brand is basically the same these days. I think getting a black one or as close to your dog's nose color as possible is best because the visual intrusion seems to bother them. it's really important to introduce it to them with a shitload of treats and desensitization because having a loop on your nose feels weird to them and they need to be rewarded and praised and distracted from noticing it or they will get obsessive about trying to take it off. WATCH SOME VIDEOS ABOUT IT TO SEE THE TECHNIQUES FOR INTRODUCING THE HALTER, do Not just put it on the dog, especially if he's under 2 years old. if you condition a fear response to the halter you're just going to make everything worse
some dogs will never accept it and it will raise their anxiety level, but they are in the minority. ultimately training good leash manners is about patience and boring repetitions but the head harness is the closest thing to a quick fix you can get because 90% of them physically cannot pull anymore with the leash attached to their heads.
they can still pant, eat, drink and bark with the halter on, it doesn't hold their mouths closed but some halters will close the dog's mouth when pressure is applied and then release it when the leash is loose again. this doesn't hurt the dog. having control of their heads also makes it faster to redirect them away from sniffing or eating things they're not supposed to, which adds a layer of safety.
to make sure you have a safety line to the dog at all times people usually use either two leashes attached to the halter and a body harness or flat collar respectively, or have a safety clip attached from the halter to the dog's usual collar. this is in case the head halter slips off or the dog paws it off their head.
this type of halter doesnt work on brachycephalic dogs for obvious reasons

Highly recommended product: The Gentle Leader.
Our pups are terrible on traditional leashes but with the gentle leader, they are completely different dogs.
Make it’s easier and fun to walk our pups and it’s also a must have for training.

They really need to make a Transformers movie that really focuses on Optimus, and more importantly has his personality intact. Something that's usually only glimpsed in the live action movies if not just overwritten entirely.
So no bayverse, not this transformers one nonsense where they are just making them into power rangers (and I say that as a huge power rangers fan)
Give us a real Optimus movie and do it before we lose the heart and soul of the character, Peter Cullen.

I got to meet him this past weekend and get his autograph and it was amazing to briefly converse with him.

I love Rosie's talk to the new pilots, echoing what Buck and Bucky have been doing (about not giving tips) since the first ep, but especially the way he says it:
"Each flight is it's own lesson, maybe YOU will be giving me your words of wisdom"
ROSIE I CAN'T!!!

This was the least crowded block of the farmers market. We had just gotten freshly made Woofles (apple cinnamon puppy waffles) and decided to head home. You can practically hear her saying, "Those are mine. I know they are. You had me pick them out. Can I have one now?"
I'm going to keep pushing myself to video us. It's hard for me to multi-task, and it makes me horribly uncomfortable. It also worries me that I am not paying enough attention to her. A big part of my training was to use her as a grounding technique, so I get very anxious when I use my phone.
But, I want to better our heel and start to learn more tricks. Watching the videos of us will help me see things from a different angle and hopefully help me improve.
I did miscommunicate with her that we were turning right and stopping at the crosswalk. I can not get mad at her for something that's my fault. At least we didn't run into anyone or anything!
We don't have to be perfect

I need to talk about RWBY's Jaune Arc
okay this is 1.6k words, immaaaaaaaa put a cut
Okay so going into RWBY back in 2019, that was great right. I was in the middle of getting my degree in creative writing I was seriously burnt out from how formulaic stories had gotten for me, and then comes along my friend being all YOU SHOULD WATCH RWBY. And I said, SURE
now my friend knows my types and she nailed who my favorite character was going to be (Oscar) and she also nailed who my other favorites would be (Ren and Qrow) and I'll admit, 90% of my investment in RWBY was ya know, my favorite boys (Don't worry I love plenty of the girls, it just happened that my top 3 ended up being guys this time around). And wow RWBY was just such a breath of fresh air for me given all the story telling stuff I was learning about in college
and specifically, now that we're like waiting for volume 10 to be greenlit, I'm surprised by how much I've grown to like Jaune
I used to not care for Jaune/find him mildly annoying in Volume 1. He was the... audience stand in, so he had to be a little dumb. He was falling into a little bit of a stereotypical pretending to be confident to impress the ladies role. But ya know, I didn't hate him. He just wasn't my favorite of team JNPR
then volume 2 comes around and he has his whole IMMA INVITE WEISS TO THE DANCE WITH ME :D and I was not about that, it was pushy, and also, I really do not care for that sort of romance in the stories I'm engaging with, and then... it didn't go that route. He realized that Pyrrha wanted to go with him, that he had been unintentionally insensitive towards her, and pursued a girl who didn't even care about him who liked someone else. And Jaune just went "alright, damage control, gonna get Weiss what she wants and gonna give Pyrrha what she deserves" and that was the first time instead of being neutral or annoyed at Jaune I thought ya know, this guy... this guy has good bean potential. I'm interested in seeing where they take him next
And then there's Volume 3. He's been training with Pyrrha, he's been more supportive as a partner, he's been TRYING to be a good leader for his team, like he's not perfect at any of those but he's TRYING and he's lost a lot of the traits that I found annoying originally. Now he's starting to full step into the supportive wholesome leader role. And then, ya know the finale happens and just... ouch. Things were looking up for White boy, and the rug wasn't just pulled out from under him, it also slapped him in the face and threw him down the stairs
Now through Volumes 4-5 Jaune was still in the "I'm pretty meh" about him territory. There were moments where I found myself deeply empathizing with him, specifically in the scenes that showed him mourning Pyrrha, especially because well... I've been there. I've lost someone I was close with when I was 17 too. Extremely different circumstances but that thing where you put on a video of them and you watch it over and over and over because you so desperately want them back, that you're reaching for wisps and smoke of what used to be them all for a brief small chance to feel their presence again. And it's just, it's never enough. No matter how many times you watch the video, no matter how many times you replay their voice talking to you, no matter how many times you listen to old messages they sent you, they are gone and nothing in the world is going to change that. It hurts. It hurts so bad
this boy is GRIEVING
but, he was being bitchy. And look, I don't blame the guy alright. Grief messes you up as a person, it brings out sides of you you didn't know you had, it prevents you from being the best version of yourself. I. GET. IT. But he was being bitchy towards Qrow(aforementioned fave, special mention to that time he slammed Oscar ANOTHER FAVE against the wall), and at the battle of Haven, he initially let his grief and anger get the better of him, and ngl I couldn't watch. (To clarify, absolutely no shade to the writers, this was GOLDEN, peek character writing and whatnot) But that is what Jaune's arc is about at the end of the day. I'm not saying the other characters aren't grieving too, they absolutely are. But Jaune's arc has a lot more focus on how grief hurts and changes a person, how it gets the better of us, and how ultimately, if we want to move forward, if we want to keep going, we cannot just fight it and resist it because it feels icky. We cannot just sit in it because we hate what happened and happiness feels fake and forever gone. We cannot pretend the grief isn't there either.
Cue Volume 6 where he was mostly backstage, but all of this comes to a culmination at Pyrrha's statue and Jaune finally gets a moment where he gets to sit with his grief. Really sit with it. In a way that isn't anger, or repression, or wishing things had been different or that Pyrrha was there. He got to sit with his grief with the reality that it was. He lost Pyrrha. And it hurt. Maybe it was senseless. Maybe he really couldn't have done anything. Maybe it really does hurt so bad. But at the end of the day, it had been Pyrrha's choice to try and do something. And for better or for worse, she tried. And the rest of his team confront him. Ren and Nora are quick to console him, and join in on the grieving. And they also confront him about his behavior in season 5, where he believed that he didn't matter so long as his friends got to live. And here are Ren and Nora telling him, buddy, you DO matter. You matter so much. You matter to us just as much as Pyrrha mattered to us. We all chose to be huntsmen, so let us grow together and honor her choice even if it hurts. We can hurt together and we can take comfort together.
And listen, up until this point, when I was watching RWBY, Jaune was not my favorite. He never had been. He was just a guy that was there going through his own arcs. But after this key moment in volume 6, suddenly I find himself enjoying seeing him whenever he was on screen
for the rest of volume 6 he slips naturally into an empathetic leader. Stealing the ships was his idea but he let everyone take the roles they were good at, he played good support, he protected his team when possible. AND THEN WE GET TO 7 AND 8 and omg
friends
this is when I started loving Jaune. Suddenly, it's like he found a balance, he found himself. He was still hurting but instead of being angry he was being compassionate. He was still goofy and fun, but he was no longer annoying being respectful of people. He was no longer blundering about on the battlefield but he was moving with purpose and with skill. This Jaune feels like an entirely different character than the Jaune we first met back in volume 1. He's fallen into a character role that I personally love. I love the empathic leaders who are a little bit goofy. I love them to pieces. I love their level-headedness, i love their compassion. I love their gentleness. But what made Jaune special is that we got to see how much he had to suffer to get there. He was doing the best he's ever been, and he was being so kind and so humble (straight up, tempted to do a time travel AU fic or something with baby jaune and leader jaune meeting each other cuz they'd be so different)
Then we reach the end of 8 and ya know
THAT happened
and of course Jaune's arc is always about grief. But what a stroke of genius, have him find his footing and then REtraumatize him. ngl, I ALSO have been there, and imo the retraumatization is almost worst than the originally one, especially if you haven't properly dealt with the OG emotions because now THOSE come rushing back AND you've got new fresh ones to deal with. Call me a sadist. Accuse me of projecting my own trauma or whatever, but genuinely I loved what they did with Jaune in volume 9. It was *chef's kiss*. The unhealthy coping, the latching onto and hyperfixating on a single thing that ultimately is the opposite of what he needed, forced to be alone for decades, betrayed by someone he tried to help, being reunited with his friends without having processed or dealt with any of that and STILL trying to be friendly and kind and gentle to them while barely keeping it together- it's just SO GOOD
and ultimately he does break. But his friends are there with him, just like Ren and Nora helped him in volume 6. He's still the gentle leader he's grown into, but now there's just so much more to it, there's so many layers
I'm genuinely so excited to see where they take him for future volumes. He still can't dethrone my favorites BUT he has climbed the ranks of my favorite characters so fast that I wouldn't have believed you if you told me when I started watching RWBY that the character I found most annoying would end up being one of my favorite RWBY characters
soooooo yeah
I really love Jaune now
controversial opinion, I love his short hair

Kabu's random conversation lines ❤️‍🔥
Pokémon Masters EX spoilers ahead!
Random conversation 1:
Tumblr media
Pasio isn't just home to young Trainers, but to veteran Trainers as well! I can learn from veteran Trainers and get inspired by the young ones. It's truly ideal!
Random conversation 2:
Tumblr media
I'm going to train with other Fire-type users next time. Would you like to join us, (Player)? You won't regret it— our top-notch training will leave you burning red-hot!
Random conversation 3:
Tumblr media
There was a time when I kept losing, and I was struggling to figure out what to do. But during a battle against Leon, I realized my potential, and forged a new path because of that. There is no such thing as a dead end in the long road of life!
Every day was a challenge back then, but I toughed it out— and the experience changed me. When faced with a problem, it's important you take some time to think about ways to tackle it instead of just giving up. I'm glad I got to pass all of this on to you!
Random conversation 4:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm often regarded as the first real roadblock of Galar's Gym Challenge. As such, I've watched many a dispirited Trainer abandon the Gym Challenge after losing to me... When Trainers actually managed to defeat me, I make a point to see them off when they leave Motostoke.
Where there are winners, there are losers... That's the harsh reality of battling. But hanging your head and moping won't change anything! Just like how fire burns upwards, when things are tough, keep your head high!
Random conversation 5:
Tumblr media
Maintaining a career as a Trainer doesn't juat mean staying sharp in battles— you have to tend to your health as well! Eating, exercising, sleeping... Your day-to-day life is a part of your training as well!
Random conversation 6:
Tumblr media
Seeing young trainers work hard sets my soul ablaze with determination! As long as we're alive, we should keep on learning and training!
Random conversation 7:
Tumblr media
No matter what you do, the most important thing is never forgetting where you started. With the right care, you can keep the fire in your heart burning indefinitely. That's why I'll always consider myself a challenger!

I think he’d like it more if you did bite back I think he loves taming people. Like how only He could deal with Gojo. He doesn’t mind you biting back like an animal cause the second you become pliant he’ll know he won. I love the image of him just following you around listening to you bitch about him and he's just smiling cause so what if you're mad at him? At least you're thinking about him. I think he wouldn't be able to handle nonchalance it would make him go crazy. Feel however you feel about him but at least make sure to feel something. I don't think he cares if you leave teeth marks in him cause at least they're your teeth marks.
Tumblr media
REMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I FEEL SICK TO MY STOMACH NO ONE GETS ME THE WAY YOU DO IM LYING ON THE FLOOR AND BITING MY FIST.,…..,
ok so first of all. just picture me screaming this to you at the top of my lungs: YOU GET ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT YOU GET IT YOU GET IT THAT’S EXACTLY IT!!!! he LOVES taming people. he loves how difficult you get because it makes your rare bouts of softness so much more valuable. it really is like having a feral pet who hisses and bites you and scratches and scratches but then they lick the wound and you’re like 🥺🥺🥺🥺 awww….. that’s geto with you. he’s endlessly patient!! he loves you so dearly!!! he just thinks you’re the sweetest little thing even when you’re trying to make him mad. but you never could!! he could never be mad at his angel!!
I don't think he cares if you leave teeth marks in him cause at least they're your teeth marks.
^ rem im not joking when i say i had a PHYSICAL reaction to this at least one of my lungs collapsed. you’re so RIGHT. i’m holding your hand so tightly!!! you always always get it!!!! i think he even feels a sense of pride knowing you’d sink your teeth into him, that all this abundance of emotion is directed at him — you’re so so right rem!! he’d hate it if you were nonchalant or ignored him entirely but he doesn’t mind hatred. i think he even welcomes it.
i think a part of him is convinced that you’ll come around, too — that even though you hate him now you’ll be melting into his arms soon enough. he enjoys the violence but i think he enjoys the idea of the softness to come even more!! and the idea just gets sweeter and sweeter the more you bite. i don’t think anything makes him feel as overjoyed as finally getting to see you relax, curl into him, look to him for comfort…. and he always gives it so eagerly. because he knew you’d come around eventually!! and he wants to reward you for it!!!!!
like genuinely rem i see cult leader!geto as even more of a caretaker than suguru because cult leader!geto doesn’t put any limits on his love. he wouldn’t care if it was overwhelming. he mothers the hell out of you with literally no signs of stopping because he quite literally lives and breathes devotion. might even border on worship….
I’M STARTING TO RAMBLE PSHDJSH this genuinely made me insane rem 😭😭😭 tysm for feeding me ily always !!! i can always trust u when it comes to sugu <3333
