Thank you for five years of service to our faithful purple line harness. Our most used harness, and the only harness we've owned I have absolutely zero complaints about in any way.
Hopefully your successor can live up to the standard you've set!
#I remember being all giddy when i bought it#my first harness for my first dog#felt like a milestone when Røst was finally big enough for a grown up harness#and me realising i wasn't a kid staring longingly at the dog gear in the pet shop anymore#(Then promptly turned into a gear hoarder but we won't talk about that)#the NS line harness is for sure a forever favourite for me#it sits so nicely on the dog#doesn't slide around#freedom of movement and it's the only harness aside from the Freemotion that Røst doesn't wheeze in when pulling#i've also put our old one through absolute hell the last four years#hiking ragged rocks. swimming in both fresh and salt water. wallowing in mud. sharp snow and biting cold#and it still looks as new#just about spotless#fingers crossed the new model is made as well as the old because this harness would outlive Røst by a decade

陽明山國家公園 // Yangmingshan National Park
#sometimes the mountains are calling and i must go#by some miracle i got up at 7 am and met a friend whose idea of a trip to yangmingshan was a 12 km hike#i am in better shape than i thought tbh#we had a feral water buffalo encounter on the trail#which involved some scrambling in the underbrush after being cut off by large bovines from both sides#but all's well that ends well#taiwan#taipei#photography#nature#hiking#Yangmingshan National Park#陽明山

night skating fit: my matching lobster shirt and shorts
#my ramblings#I’m so bad at being photographed but I think this outfit is too funny not to share#though I’m sure it’s hard to see the lobsters#trust me they’re lobsters#ignore the socks I just had on hiking socks#wait#I HAVE long ocean themed socks I got them from a friend! damn!#well I’ll wear them next time#btw I miss the old twt emoji. I loved using their star to cover my face

oh my god??? he survived for seven weeks. this guy is insane GOOD FOR HIM!!! and his family must be so grateful!
#i have a huge appreciation for stuff like this after writing my fic because i know how rare and difficult it is#i had a genuinely hard time finding applicable examples of hikers who survived 4+ weeks of being missing in my research#it has happened ofc but it is very uncommon (and they'd already called the search off for this guy too)#AND THIS GUY DID IT IN FREEZING SNOWY TEMPS#crazy.#<- this story is just fw!grian's mental scenario of what would happen with mumbo#edit: god the twitter replies to a tweet about this are insufferable#everybody sitting on their couch in a warm house like 'well he MUST be an idiot to get lost' and various smug insults#i want to wring all their necks lmao#i only learned about this guy 10 minutes ago but i would kill on his behalf to save him from internet people who have probably never hiked

a little more disorganised exploring
#disorganised only bc some are from my older NG+ save file where I managed to NOT override gravity and died missing a zip line jump#and then ended up being told by Aloy that I need to finally do Erend's quest so Avad will talk to me#even tho I literally just saved Itamen and his mom so what the heck. he knows who we are gdi#anyway. the other ones are from my embrace-escape run where I'm outside early just collecting stuff#and doing as many quests as the game allows pre playing through the Proving#world's a little weird. campfires don't save your progression properly. but vantage points do#and you can fast travel to settlements. just.. no override and only one bandit camp as far as I've been able to tell#so it's my favourite game - hiking simulator 3040 my beloved. love this game. the vibes are stellar and the visuals are gorgeous#The Cut is lovely too but I got sidetracked going for all the metal flowers and vessels and vantage points instead#plus.. no tallnecks so far and even if they showed up I couldn't override them anyway#so cauldrons are prob out of the question too. not sure if I tried before tho#saddest thing so far: no Proving means no Yan means no Solai means no Nakoa quest and therefore no Nakoa :'(#but Daytower is locked until later anyway.. tho maybe I could get there from the other side? the other gate further north is open luckily#which means I've met Petra again and done her first quest. which does make me happy. I've missed her and her flirting :)#(grandma Teersa is so well done btw. LOOK AT HER)#anyway. off to bed now#lou plays#Horizon Zero Dawn#hzd remaster

My review of Miraculous Ladybug S5 so far is that it has a lot of scenes that I like in theory, but in action just end up being very silly and way over dramatic
#that being said. i love them all the same#genuinely obsessed with this show#but man it handles everything in such an odd way#they always spend so much time talking about nothing for the first 75% of the episode#and then the last 25% hikes up the drama to 100 and its always so abrupt#'illusion' is an excellent example of this lol#that episode had such a strange and sudden tone shift#its bizarre that the episodes are 22 minutes long but still barely manage to say anything#this is all technically criticism but make no mistake. i wouldnt have it any other way#this is truly the peak of miraculous ladybug. this is what it should ALWAYS be#so far i dont think theres been an episode where ive been particularly BORED. theyve all got a little spice to them#which i appreciate#well. i kinda didnt like the first 2 episodes. those were just a lot of running around#but everything after that has been exactly what i wanted#tldr: the pacing is weird and i wouldnt change a thing#my notes document on this show is up to 8 pages. ive never had as many opinions on a show as I do this one#im a certified miraculous stan

Alan Wake 1 enemies: spooky! occasional jumpscare! Just gotta shine them with my light and take them down do do do
Alan Wake 2: why do they bleed.
#hearing shadow people say WAKE and ALAN WAKE and DO YOU HEAR ME is NOT how I wanted to spend my 9 o clock#yet here we are#the entire time in the dark place I was biting my lips in fear oh my GOD#I’d take hiking over the dark place any day#the atmospheres between each game are so different too!!#one is a thriller/slightly scary game with a few jump scares and chilling moments#as well as angst and the longing of one’s partner#while this game is HORRIFYING#walking in a forest at night and hearing mumbled and warbles.#watching someone possessed lumber at at you while you sit in the light.#SHADOW PEOPLE GRABBING YOU#the longing and angst is amplified too btw#like Alan watching Alice talk about being haunted by someone who wasn’t him?? Mr. SCRATCH being around and in her home??#I felt Alan’s longing the entire time I was in their apartment bro I love them come back alan and alice#this game is a HORROR game I am so READY to FINISH IT#(I just started)#alan wake#alan wake 2#alice wake#saga Anderson#Alex Casey#yeah why DO they bleed#why did they go from completely shadow people to bloody guys

Hart: Oh, Ian, how do you deal with your emotional damage?
Ian: idk man I have people who love me
#romance novel blogging#caro reads the duke's perfect wife#IT'S SO SAD LOL#he's like 'well hart i have a wife and kids................................ you don't.............................'#one of my favorite parts of this book is legit when hart has a freak attack over ian going on a hike#and searches for him all through the night#and falls asleep in the dirt#and wakes up w ian being like sup#'i'll always find you' MY BABIES

I need to create a mini guide for myself on what to say if people say "so tell me a little bit about yourself"
Also accomplishment - personal or academic. I need a more solid idea on what to say there lol
#i went w hiking and talked briefly about my sib + a bit about being creative#for accomplishment i went w the many character drawing i finished last year#bc i can spin it to dedication and engagement (posting it online) as well as creativity#but still i need bullet point ideas for these i suck at coming up w them on the spot#amber's shit you can ignore

webby would have LOVED mystery flesh pit national park
#my funky guys#shed be sooo fascinated w it#shed be pissed about the comercialisation of it n shit BUT. at the same time if she could take a hike in there?#she would. 100%. and shed be having a blast tge whole time#like. shed have a love hate relationship w the whole national park thing and how irresponsible the whole situation was#bc it WAS shitty and sketchy as hell#but on the other hand she just really really loves the idea of being able to walk around the insides of a colossal beast#so shed be like 'ofc nobody should be allowed to fuck around in there like that wtf dude thats so dangerous and irresponsible#.except for me. they should let ME fuck around!!! fuck the corporation and tourists i would treat her right!!!!!!#*I* would be careful and wouldnt exploit the resources and keep distance from the fauna unlike SOME PEOPLE'#ok well. i mean weblums exist so i suppose she COULD walk around the insides of a giant organism#but still the mystery flesh pit has that certain allure. a vibe. weblums are cool as hell but theyre not an eldritch underground horror#weblums are cool space whales but the mystery flesh pit is .well the mystery flesh pit. cant rlly compete w that#anyway. the pit may be a deatrap but not for her. shed survive. shes special like that the giant lobsters wouldnt eat HER#also webby would be very much on the pits side. its not ITS fault people are stupid?? its just chilling!!! its not evil!!!!!!#'ohh but those arthropods are scary!!! WELL. theyre WILD ANIMALS DIPSHIT ofc theyre hostile. and plus theyre cool as hell'

kinda funny that I can look at the ER map and picture almost perfectly the in-game areas and the majority of enemies
it's like I've been messing around this game for more than a year or something
#elden ring#post inspired cause i was writing the finlay fic and in her path i remembered a location that's not marked in the map and I WAS RIGHT#the location being the camp where you find the Beast Crest Heater Shield#i know most of the game as well as i know my neighborhood#jeez#i should get hired as an elden ring hiking guide or smt

me having gone to bed at 6 am every day for the past week and generally spiraling mentally while rotting in bed waking up this morning: a 4 mile hike in the heat is a really good idea right now, and while we're at it let's start like 3 art projects
#maybe my mom was onto something all these years telling me i'm bipolar#no i don't think i am but i do technically have a bpd diagnosis so like. mood swings up the fucking wazoo are not new#but i am not one to be like 'exercise will fix me'#i've also just come to terms recently with the fact that i didn't kill myself already so might as well start thinking of the long term#so not being in constant pain when im older is something im actually thinking of now#so like. gotta move more which i was doing during this semester! walking like 3 miles a day which didn't help brain but#it's gotta be good for you anyway even if i don't get the endorphins everyone says you get when working out#that's neverrrr been me bc also chronic illness w exercise intolerance#so it's like. wah i have a desire to move my body more and know it's beneficial#but chronic illness + mental illness + trying not to think about exercise in terms of weight loss bc i'm trying not to make that the goal#although certainly wouldn't be mad if that was the result but if i prioritize it over just overall health it's gonna make me obsessive#i'm saying a lot of words. i have no one to really talk to so i once again come to tumblr as a public diary#ANYWAY. trying to find balance with wanting to exercise for overall well-being but dealing with other factors like chronic illness#which has actually been under the most control it's been in years i barely even consider myself (physicslly) disabled these days#and also balancing the fact that while my disordered eating has never recovered and i still have extremely bad relationship with myself#im in a relatively better place with that. i'm not starving myself and im not going through binge/purge cycles#but my relationship with food and eating is still very much unhealthy#and i don't think that will ever really change bc it's so ingrained in the everything about me#i don't really know what i'm talking ahout anymore or what prompted this#i can't simply just say 'i'm gonna go for a hike today' and be normal about. always gotta psycho analyze myself#im in a very weird stage in my life where i feel like i have control over nothing and i barely even exist in my own body#im just like a cacophony of voices trapped inside a meat suit but im not in the drivers seat im stuffed in the trunk and tied up#and the guy driving is an old blind mind who should have lost his license his ass is NOT road safe!#so it's like i have all these ideas and desires and feelings and ahh!! but hey i'm locked up here let me out please#and also the state of the world. so bleak and hopeless and paralyzing that i've just kind of shut my feelings off so i'm rapidly switching#between numbness and overwhelming agony#what the fuck am i talking about

I remember teaching Aayla as many tricks as I could think of in rapid fire when I first got her as a puppy. She probably knew 30+ cues within the first three months of me owning her.
Tricks Ryker knows : Shake and to bite our fingers on cue.
#i mean he has a lot more sport skills than she had at his age#i also wasnt very serious with sports at this time with aayla#then again she could go through a whole advanced rally course around his age#but not well#its just funny how priorities shift#ive focused more on ryker just being a puppy#more play#more hiking without structure#then of course the training we do do is for sport or life skills#not really tricks#though almost all sport skills are just tricks right?

Shout-out to everyone who survived a "fun" easter with the family
#fucking hell#it started with finding out my dad smoked in my car when I picked up my sister#who was equally dreading the day#my mum turns into the world's tensest and judgemental presence. worsened by my aunt#then hell for autistic people (of which there are multiple present)#multiple deaf people means one uninspired conversation that isn't interesting in any way.#combinations of passive aggressiveness and people not saying a thing because they can't participate. voice volumes too damn high#weirdass food situations. Very full table. so many smells.#this goes on for over an hour. wishing for literally anything but being there. soul crushing.#then you still have to sit in that room for 2.5 hours. it just goes on and on.#my autistic deaf dad physically looks like how I feel. my mum and aunt keep piling on top of him to demand his mental presence#i leave the room once (to get my phone to show pictures to my uncle) and am immediately followed upstairs by my mum#who demands I don't leave the room (What's next. following me when I need the toilet?)#me and my sister are so bored we start throwing paper planes and fake fighting.#Which amuses the bored and the deaf#but of course my mum and aunt have opinions and this is not allowed. only soul crushing boredom allowed#they complain to each other over it while aggressively doing dishes#finally it ends because my mum and aunt start insisting my dad should go to bed if he's 'that tired'. *sprinkle on some additional ableism*#still sitting through a conversation about allergies one of my sister's friends has. my mum preaching that people should take that seriously#(meanwhile i had to cook for myself for 9 years because when my allergies were really bad no one bothered to check if i could eat something)#me and my sister go sit upstairs to discover our mum has made things we care about vanish in her room#and made things appear that should not be there#I've washed the interior of my car and hope the smell will go#you think it's over after that. but woke up with the realisation that even more things have disappeared from my sister's room.#i can't remember a time when things left outside of my room didn't disappear#I don't know why we do these family gatherings at all. no one has fun on days like that.#the housing crisis isn't making these things easy. my sister is losing her place to live again as well#she'll go hiking for a month and then work on a campsite over the summer#maybe I'll go house sitting again. idk.#can't make commitments a few months in advance like that because I'll cancel everything the second Sparks announces anything important
