fade into you || lena oberdorf x reader ||

lena takes your virginity.

minors dni, 18+, smut warning.

not proofread because i have 30 minutes to get to work and still need to eat breakfast.

the move from manchester to bayern was a big one, but you hadn't made it alone. your older sister keira's best friend, georgia, had transferred with you. with georgia there, you practically had another older sister there with you. and it was great, up until you met lena.

the bayern and wolfsburg games were pretty intense, but you loved it. english soccer hadn't necessarily been physical enough for you, aside from your very heated games against arsenal. lena could match your aggression and put you on your ass if she really wanted to.

at first, there had been a couple of close calls. georgia had gotten herself carded arguing with lena twice before someone said something. after that, you had players like magda and pernille, your team mothers, who looked out for you instead. they were a lot more protective, not even letting the german player talk to you after games.

lena hated the way that they watched over you like a hawk whenever she was around. all lena had wanted to do then was talk to you, and she had to wait months before she finally had a good chance to do so. georgia had tried to step in to "protect" you whenever lena approached you after an international game against each other, but she wasn't nearly as intimidating as magda.

"(y/n)!" lena called out as she chased you down in the tunnel. you froze on the spot, unsure of what lena could have wanted with you. that game had been difficult to say the least. tensions had been high, and several players on both sides had gotten a little sketchy with some of their tackles and challenges. "do you mind if we talk for a minute?"

"you want to talk to me?" you tried not to sound so surprised, but you couldn't help it. lena nodded as she extended her hand towards you. georgia looked a bit angry as you took it, not noticing the looks from leah, lucy, and your sister behind her.

"i'd prefer to do it alone," lena told you as she led you away from everybody else. "i've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but there are always other players around. your friends don't seem to like me too much."

"they are protective. we have a tendency to go a bit harder after each other than anybody else," you pointed out. lena couldn't argue with you on that one. she admittedly did play a bit rougher with you than she did with other players. however, lena knew that sometimes that was what it took to stop you from trucking through their defenses.

"i like how you play. i can't wait to be on your team." lena rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. you studied her for a moment, just long enough to be distracted by her features. your eyes bounced all around her face and body, shamelessly checking her out a bit. "before that, though, i'd like to get to know you better. maybe we could go on a date when you get back to germany?"

"why wait that long?" you asked her. lena looked surprised, like she couldn't believe that you wanted to spend time with her so soon. "i won't be drinking with the rest of the team tonight, and playing cards in my sister's room can wait. you guys leave tomorrow night, and i think that leaves just enough time for us to go out together for a night."

"the whole night?" lena asked. you were quick to shake your head, but refused to elaborate any further. lena didn't know that you were a virgin, she couldn't have. not a lot of people actually knew that, and while you had been told that it was nothing to be ashamed of, you couldn't help but feel like you were lagging in your age group.

"i'd like to see where things go first. hooking up isn't really my thing," you said quickly. you hoped that it came off casually, but you knew better than that. you weren't that lucky, not when it came to relationships. you had only ever dated one other person, and it had ended so badly that you kind of thought you'd never date again.

…

naturally, as your relationship progressed, lena eventually learned about your lack of experience. she had been kind about it once you told her. a lot of things that you had done over the past few months made sense to her. lena had known that you were shy, but now she understood why certain things messed with you as much as they did.

"good morning." lena greeted you with a kiss as you walked into the kitchen. it was her first week in her munich apartment, and she had asked for you to stay with her. the two of you had been together for nearly half of your first season at bayern. now, you'd get to play at the same club together, so she would be there to keep you company instead of georgia.

"this isn't good for my german," you told her. lena shrugged it off and wrapped her arms around your waist as she pressed several kisses to the side of your face. "i really do want to learn, lena."

"liebe, you are doing fine with the german. relax, we practice together every single day. rest your brain for a morning, it will be fine," lena said. you sighed as your body sank back against hers. you hadn't been with lena for very long in the scheme of things, but you knew for sure that you were in love with her. keira had once told you that love was a feeling that often took you by surprise, and your feelings for lena had blindsided you early on in your relationship.

the two of you had expressed your love for each other in words before, but you wanted to do more. you wanted to give yourself to lena fully. the thought was beyond terrifying for you, but you also knew that lena was trustworthy. she would take care of you, just like she had been doing for months. more than that, you trusted lena fully and wanted to show her just how far your trust reached.

"what are you thinking so hard about?" lena asked you. her voice was full of concern, breaking the blissfully relaxed energy that had been filling up her room. you had been ready to tell her exactly what you wanted, but when you opened up your mouth and looked at her, your words died out on the tip of your tongue.

"i want-," you paused, unsure of whether or not this was the time. lena would never push you towards anything, but you hadn't considered whether or not she wanted sex from you. everybody around the two of you had made a teasing remark here or there about sex, only to be shut down by an extremely defensive lena.

"it's okay, take your time." lena pressed a kiss to the top of your head as she pulled you to rest against her chest. you gave yourself a couple of moments to relax where she had guided you. once those moments were over, you shifted so that you were sort of leaning over her. "everything okay?"

"yes, i just, need to ask you something. lena, i'd like to have sex with you," you told her. lena's normally expressive face went completely blank as she stared at you. a wave of panic overtook your thoughts, but lena didn't let it get far enough for you to retract your statements.

"this is a big deal, are you sure liebe?" lena asked you. it was true, this was a big deal for you. some of your teammates had tried to play it off as something that didn't matter, but to you it did. lena knew this, and she had been fully prepared to wait until marriage if that was something you had wanted. a part of her hadn't expected you to want to talk about it again so soon, but she was glad that you trusted her.

"yes, of course i am. i love you, and i want to show you that," you said sheepishly.

"there are other ways to show that you love someone. it's not like i can give you this experience back if you decide that i wasn't the right one." for a moment, you thought lena was trying to talk you out of having sex. that idea was promptly snuffed out whenever you finally looked her in the eye. lena looked almost to tears, but there was no sign of anything other than joy on her face.

"i'm sure. i want you, and only you." lena had never heard you speak with such confidence or conviction before. you were shy, always keeping to yourself or your very carefully selected circle of friends. "just, please remember that it's my first time."

"always, we will take it slow," lena promised you.

…

neither you nor lena had really brought up having sex again for the remainder of your stay with her. you had assumed that lena had forgotten, not that she was working on making the last night of your week together so special. for the most part, you had been completely oblivious until she was practically shoving you out of the house to go shopping with sydney and laura.

they were nice, but still very much lena's friends. you had a lot of fun with the girls, who had definitely talked you into spending more money than you meant to. by the time that you headed back to lena's, you had enough things to fill an extra suitcase.

"lena?" you called out into the apartment. it looked empty, but lena had obviously cleaned and rearranged a few things. you could see the table set very romantically, and you wondered for a moment if you missed some sort of anniversary. all of those thoughts were practically thrown out of your head when you saw lena walk out of her bedroom. "you look amazing."

"i know that we did not talk about this before, but i really want to be with you before you leave. only if that's okay with you," lena said. she brushed a strand of your hair back behind you ear as she stepped into your space. there was never an invasion with lena, she was always welcomed eagerly with open arms.

"i'd like that. i've been thinking about it a lot," you confessed. lena smiled as she pulled you in for a kiss. something told you that lena would have kissed you either way, but this kiss felt different. this kiss built to something bigger, something that your body had been anticipating for a couple of weeks now.

lena pulled back from the kiss to lead you to the table. you sat there a little awkwardly by yourself while you waited for her to return. lena had obviously put a lot of effort into the meal, preparing things that you recognized as supposed aphrodisiacs. you noticed the distinct lack of alcohol at the table, which lena explained away as not wanting anything to possibly taint the experience.

"how are you feeling?" lena asked you. she leaned back against the counter as she watched you put the last dish in the dishwasher. you had fought her about leaving the dishes in the sink for tomorrow and cleaning up, but lena relented in the end. she had rinsed a few of the pots and pans before you were even home anyway, that was enough help as you'd accept.

"nervous, but in a good way. i trust you though, just show me what you like i guess," you told her. lena smiled as she pulled you in for a kiss. this one was soft and sweet, a gentle press of her lips against yours. the next couple ventured away from that territory, right up until lena was pinning you against the counter by the kitchen sink and kissing you absolutely breathless.

"i'm going to find out all of the things that you like. maybe it'll take more than a night, but we have the rest of our lives to figure everything out." lena picked you up with ease and carried you into her bedroom. every part of the house had been done up for tonight, so it shouldn't have come as a shock to you to see the candles and flowers all over the room.

"you spoil me. what if i want this every time we have sex?" you asked her.

it was a teasing question, but lena answered you with complete sincerity, "then i will do this every single time. there is nothing i wouldn't do to make you happy."

"i love you," you told her. lena blushed as she pressed a kiss to the corner of your mouth.

"i love you too," she mumbled. you threaded your fingers through her hair and lifted her head up so that she was looking at you. she repeated herself, suddenly a little afraid that you hadn't heard her. you pulled her in for another kiss, opening your mouth almost immediately to welcome her tongue.

lena dropped onto her knees on the bed to lay you down gently. her body quickly covered yours once again, and lena slotted herself in between your legs. the two of you had laid like that before, but now it felt different. both of you knew where this was leading, and while lena would assure you that you could turn back whenever you wanted, you knew otherwise.

you were grateful for lena taking her clothes off first, even if you had been head over heels for the outfit. it was rare that you got to see lena out of her kit or the sweats that she liked to wear around the house. and while there was little hotter to you than lena walking around in a tank top and sweatpants, the black slacks and white button up that lena had worn for tonight drove you a little crazy.

however, you were glad to not feel quite so underdressed for the occasion. you hadn't changed from the jean shorts and t-shirt of lena's that you had worn out for shopping. lena had barely let you go whenever she saw you in her shirt that morning, but you had compromised with her by cuddling on the couch until laura and sydney came bursting through lena's apartment doors.

"can i touch you?" lena asked as she motioned towards your bare chest. she was almost completely naked above you, only wearing her underwear. your shorts were still on, lena slowly making her way down your body. your lips were bruised from kissing her, and there were little wet spots from lena kissing along your neck and jaw.

"please do," you told her. lena smiled, dipping her head down to press a kiss to the little dip in between your collarbones. lena's hands massaged your breasts as she littered kisses all over your chest. you could feel that you were wet, but you didn't want to rush lena. as many times as she had told you that this was for you, you had reminded yourself that this was also for her as well. it was your first time, yes, but it was also your first time together.

with each inch that lena moved down your body, you felt your arousal and anticipation grow. you were practically shaking by the time that lena finally reached your shorts. she opened her mouth to ask if you still wanted to continue, only to be met with you impatiently shimmying yourself out of them. lena had the tact to hide her amusement, but you didn't miss the little glimmer in her eye.

it wasn't the amusement that you had mistaken it for. after your show of enthusiasm, lena let her own eagerness be known. the kisses that lena pressed to your hips and thighs were messy, much messier than the ones placed on your chest. lena paused and sucked a hickey onto the inside of your thigh, barely an inch away from where you were practically frothing at the mouth waiting for her to touch you.

"mine," lena muttered sweetly as she ran her finger over the hickey.

"make me yours," you begged her. you weren't sure what had compelled you to say that, but if lena's reaction was anything to go by, it was the right decision. lena grabbed your thighs and held them apart. you heard her swear as she really got a good look at you spread out in front of her.

there was nothing that could have prepared you for the feeling of lena's mouth on your cunt. you had kissed her hundreds of times already, but her lips felt completely different between your legs. you blindly reached around for something to grab until you felt lena take your hands in hers. it was sweet and grounded you, distracting you from your rapidly approaching orgasm.

"i don't want to cum yet," you whined. lena lifted her head to look at you. there was something reassuring in her eyes, something that quelled the panicked thoughts about embarrassing yourself in front of her.

"it's okay, let it happen. it always happens faster than you'd like the first time." lena spoke gently, more so than you had ever heard her before. you closed your eyes and tried to only focus on the way that lena felt as her tongue moved between your folds.

you couldn't stop the moans and all the little noises that normally would have embarrassed you. lena hummed appreciatively at each noise you made, like all she wanted was to hear them again. the focus of lena's tongue switched from just lazily lapping at your cunt to zeroing in on your clit. you felt a finger press against your entrance, rubbing teasingly as if she hadn't planned on actually entering you.

"lena, i think i'm gonna cum," you warned her. lena just sort of squeezed your hand as she continued with a steady pace. lena didn't want to overload your senses, so she tried to keep things going a little slower. she paid attention to every little signal that your body was giving her, helping you reach your peak and work yourself through it.

"you did so good," lena praised as she littered your face with kisses. your cheeks were flushed and your chest was heaving. you had made yourself cum a couple of times before, but it was nothing like having lena touch you. the feeling of lena touching you made you never want to even try to get yourself off ever again. "how are you feeling?"

"i've never felt like that before," you told her. it was a good feeling, but you couldn't quite articulate that yet. lena nodded, seemingly in understanding, and cupped your cheeks to pull you in for a kiss. "i can't believe i didn't ask for that earlier."

"go on to the shower. i'm gonna put the sheets in the wash," lena told you. she tried to move away, but you clung to her like your life depended on it. "liebe, we have to clean up."

"yes, and you can come shower with me. then, when we're out, you can put the sheets in the wash while i pick out something to watch in the living room." lena wasn't going to argue with you, especially not when your plan included a chance to shower with her. you knew that you had won when lena didn't try to argue with you, so you pulled her out of bed and towards the bathroom. your legs were a bit shaky still, so lena held onto your hips to steady you the whole way.

I feel offended by the people who didn't request about Narrator or AM 😔 So I gonna make the first move.

May I request a hc of AM x reader? Your hc are awesome! :D

I'm not quite sure if I request yandere or just a normal X reader... that can be up to ya!

Some AM x reader hcs!

Aww thank u!! :] Tbh ur request and rbs always make my day

TW/CW: Mentions and descriptions of torture

Everything is so…confusing. That warm feeling is confusing, and AM hates it. No... No, he's not feeling sorry for you, because you're in those rags that once were clothes, being forced to eat worms and crushed cockroaches and being forced to interact with these... Filthy creatures. AM refuses every second that what he feels is some form of...closeness? After seeing you damaged in some way, even if it's the smallest thing AM has done, like breaking a bone or two.

AM refuses to believe that you are attractive, he tries in any way to deceive himself into thinking that you are a disgusting, repulsive creature like all human beings are. Any scientific information about human appearance, AM will use to convince himself and you that scientifically it is impossible for him to find you attractive after you are scientifically not!

And after all, it's not like you're not like every other human he's ever seen, ignorant, mean, fake and hypocrites.

But what made his doubts grow the most was the day you were away from the human group, and simply asked AM how he was feeling. For a supercomputer of great power, it took him quite a few seconds to answer that question, trying to somehow check if this was some kind of ironic joke, only for him to respond in a passive aggressive way.

But this question stuck in AM's thoughts, was it genuine? AM forces himself more and more to try to ignore these thoughts, to force himself to think about the conclusion that all, ALL humans are sickening.

But even so, your face doesn't leave the AI's head, no matter how much he lies saying he hates you now and forever.

It didn't take long for one or two of the humans (cof cof mainly Gorrister cof cof) to protest about these possible AM ​​gifts to you. A blonde said you were screwing him, a german one commented that you were manipulating him to gain an advantage, until it all got to AM's nerves, and he made the conclusion that you don't deserve to go through the hell of hearing all those comments from the five. And suddenly, in the blink of an eye, you find yourself in a cubicle, with a bed and a single ceiling lamp as a light source.

So... AM starts a game with you, what he calls "Manipulating Y/N into thinking I'm being nice to them and then torturing them again and again and again" was basically him giving you little charming gifts. It all started with you waking up in better clothes, then, after the others were fed termites, you were fed what looked like one of your favorite snacks! And apparently, anyone who tried to take a piece got electrocuted, even though you wanted to share some with the rest(sweet, sweet Y/N, your kindness burns the circuits of AM, but the same is not known if it is anger or... Passion...). And then, on a walk, you are all confused by what appears to be a bouquet of intact flowers, coincidentally your favorite flowers?

AM's plan would be much more obvious if you're someone who relies on meds, seriously, you'll be walking around and suddenly the exact box of meds you take

It was quiet indeed, but the fun part was when you and AM shared some conversations. Sometimes an outburst from AM, or even something silly, like you asking AM if the chicken or the egg came first.

AM felt... Good, after years, he felt good. Incredible as it sounds, AM enjoyed the conversations between you and him. The AI never thought taking a break from 15 minutes of torture would be so much fun.

AM never believed that he would be so interested in knowing more about a human's interests, he felt a little silly because of it... But it's not like the rest of the humans could just walk in there and judge the two of you without a torture of removing thekr skin and repeating it 200-times.

AM asks himself several nights if he is really in love with you, and wants to try a romantic relationship, but sometimes he doesn't even know if what he's feeling is true love, just like he doesn't know if he can feel love.

And in one night, AM tries to argue with you about these questions about love...

Only for this idiot to accidentally confess to you(HES SO DUMB OMFG)(SILLY, NO!!!!!!)(Pls have patientce with him mf doesnt know what love is, i mean, he knows but- whatever you got it)

Of course you say yes, after all you are here to date the evil computer why the hell you would want a "no" option huh??? Unless you want to just be friends with the computer. But whatever we are here for the hot stuff.

While hundreds of writers write AM as confident and romantic partner and etcetera blah blah blah, I don't hold out much hope that AM would be directly as confident about a romantic relationship... He's gentle, and shy at first, hardly looking like the AM you once knew. AM is just... New, in this whole thing called love, he was created for war and war only, he never imagined in a cute romantic scenario.

And of course, he'll do a lot of things wrong at first, but hopefully you'll forgive him and help him learn how to be a good boyfriend. An example was the day he gave you decapitated human organs as a gift, trying to show his loyalty to you, which of course caught you off guard, but you forgave AM of course, for not knowing well all this romantic stuff.

Over time, AM's attitude improves! He becomes less shy, and now his gifts are no longer organs. He tries to hug you with his wires and introduce you to the poetry he writes! :)

AM tries his best to heal all the mental and physical wounds he left you with from his past tortures. Of course he will continue the torture he does with the other fives, but he tries to be sweeter and kinder to you. Using pet names, listening to you like you listen to him, cuddles and food that isn't worms!

Sometimes or other AM can be rough because, well, he's AM. And even if AM disagrees with you or not, he would feel like the most special AI in the world if you still tried to understand AM or even stay with him. He genuinely never had anyone who at least tried to stand by him, and having you, still supporting and cherishing AM, is definitely something that can prove that you do indeed love AM... In which, well, makes AM a bit emotional

I think yall can see I really hate Gorrister troguht these headcanons fuck you Gorrister

hey I know this is weird, but I just wanna know if I'm insane or not

so, I'm german and I've been speaking that language my entire life and I just wanna ask if you as a fellow german also find german dirty talk just absolutely unbearable?

like there's no bigger turn off than some guy in his 30's or older saying some horny shit to me, that is only mildly uncomfortable in english

I dunno, I just wanna vomit when I get told "hallo mein kleines kätzchen, willst du meinen penis lutschen? 😈" and other stuff like that 🤢

and even when I really like the person and what they're saying shouldn't make me uncomfortable in theory but it's like the language that gives me this visceral cringing reaction

-a girlboycreature

I literally know zero people that both speak german and find german to be a sexy language.

Most foreigners just find it sexy because they don't know how incredibly cringe the shit we're saying is and because it sounds slightly aggressive.

And german porn dialogue is a completely new level of cringe with words like "fick sahne" or "lustgrotte." It's insane to me that people actually watch that stuff because apparently it somehow makes money.

[nthspecialll]

I saw what you posted about Arthur being Not Actually A Good Guy and you’re so right, he’s… not cool by today’s standards. However, I was wondering if you could go a little into Charles’s stance towards this stuff/whether he’s actually a good dude or not? No pressure, just curious as to what your thoughts on him are since I’m THIRSTY for analyses on my Favorite Guy <3

Charles Smith ethics analysis

Arthur Morgan was very easy to do this with because he is the main character and with the antagonize button we get to hear all his thoughts, we don't with Charles and he is especially hard to look into because doesn't talk much and we don't see much in a lot of situations were we could get to see his stance on women for example, so this is me and @heavenlymorals combined thoughts.

When thinking about Charles's in camp interactions, at least one I think about first is the one where he and Uncle are eating and Charles only really replies only with yes and no. At first I thought that maybe he just does not like Uncle, but then I discovered that he has a similar conversation with Lenny which goes like this:

Lenny: "Good food." Charles: "sure." L: "And fine conversation." C: "Why do you feel the need to talk so much?" L: "Why do you feel the need for silence?" C: "I guess I prefer people when I don't have to them to them." L: "Point taken."

This is especially interesting because Lenny does feel some sort of familiarity and safety around Charles at other points in the game so he is trying to talk to him but Charles does not feel the need to talk to Lenny. And the way that Charles shuts down Lenny is also quite rude and mean, I don't know if I will directly call it disrespectful but at least there is a missing link between his wants and letting people down softly.

Something else is that I always saw Charles as a bit impulsive and aggressive due to two instances, the bison hunters and when he throws Micah on the ground and later tells Arthur" next time he won't get up," however there is a conversation with Uncle that makes doubt his impulsiveness.

The conversation is basically Uncle calling Charles stupid due to the fact he doesn't talk much and Charles replies with "if the choice is folk thinking I am dumb but not knowing for sure or knowing for certain because I sound like you, I would rather keep them wondering." Now if we were really talking about an impulsive character, he would have acted out when being disrespected, this could hint at that he might chose to act out against these bison hunters and Micah because he does not like them.

Now why does it matter that he hurts people he doesn't like? Well he does say "I only kill when I need to" which doesn't sit completely right with the bison situation, yes they most definitely deserved it but it wasn't needed. A few other times we also see him hurt when it isn't essential.

In the grand scheme, Charles is at least not friendly towards any of the gang members other than Arthur until chapter 5 where he has to step up and in chapter 6 where he warms up to Sadie and John as well. He doesn't speak much to any of them, just kind of gives them the cold shoulder.

Charles is lost, he says so himself and says he feels he is on earth to cause hurt, if he wants to change that, talking nicely to people could be a good place to start especially because he is a criminal and in the grand scheme is he is going to hurt people so it is the small things he has to change.

Now to talk about other vulnerable minorities it is hard, we only really have one or two situations where Charles hints at his stance at women. He does seem to have some form of respect similar to Arthur for women, he respects the German lady and chooses to help her even when there is no need, but he also enjoys the company of working women in local towns which we can see in Valentine saloon where he literally leans over to keep touch with the girl for a second longer.

Now racism, I don't see any, which is not surprising considering that he is a person of color. He helps the natives a lot in chapter 6 even though it is dangerous for him because Dutch lashes out at anyone that breathes without his command, and we can actually already in chapter 4 have the chance of Charles coming up to Arthur and telling him he will be gone a few days to help Eagle Flies break some boys out of reform school.

One thing before we sum up to mention is that Charles is highly aware unlike some of the others, he knows the Van Der Linde gang is violent for the sake of money, and he doesn't try to cover it up with some ideal like Dutch does or say "oh it is for the better" or whatever.

To sum up, Charles seems to be a fair man because he is nice enough but he gives the cold shoulder to quite a lot of people who are just trying to be nice, and if he dislikes someone he isn't scared to act violently towards them. Now when it comes to minorities such as women or other people of color such as Chinese people who were hated by pretty much everyone during this time (I have to admit I don't know especially natives stance on Chinese people), I wouldn't feel comfortable saying he absolutely doesn't hold any "hatred" towards them simply because he doesn't talk. Does he respect them or is it because we haven't seen him in situations where he gets the chance to tell his opinion?

QSMP Awards 2024 Summarized

-The audio was scuffed for the first half. I don't mean a little crispy. I don't mean with a slight echo. It was fucked in every way imaginable. The audio sounded like it was going through a blender. Then it kept getting too loud, then too quiet (so much so we couldn't hear), all while being way too crispy. Charlie Slimecicle monologued to the audience while the team was trying to fix it but since the audio was both too crispy and too quiet we couldn't actually understand anything he was saying. This carried on for about 7 minutes with him holding two microphones, neither of which was working, before the stream crashed (again)

-All the staff are apparently Cucurucho, with one of them being a "main Cucurucho"

-Missa wore a "Quackity my beloved" shirt. I could not explain to you what the blazer over it was supposed to be.

-Everyone else at the ceremony was shown through discord call. I'm convinced Charlie has never seen German or Lenay's faces cause he did not know it was them until Quackity said their names

-The screen was supposed to switch between showing all the people on the discord and it kept switching between the same four people. If I have to hear Q, Charlie and Missa chant "Foolish" or "Pol" ever again-

-Mariana showed up and Charlie immediately went into bitter ex mode. He also hit on Mariana. Multiple times.

-We got a patented Ironmouse "coño" and chat lost their shit over Luzu existing, as expected

-Mariana looked like Michael Jackson, Bad's background could've been the set of Breaking Bad, Roier had a ski mask, lots of people learned what Lenay, German and Vegetta's looked like for the first time, and Mike had a kawaii filter

-Somehow Bad didn't even get nominated for Best Cucurucho Jumpscare, showing that even non-red carpet events can produce award snubs (congrats to Bagi!)

-Though I yearned for Maximus getting nominated for his Eh Vegetta prank, we all knew the win had to go to Vegetta for the mines

-The audio eventually became bearable but the echo never fully left. At some point there were like three or four overlaps of Vegetta giving his acceptance speech

-Acau won for Best Death from getting killed by an enderman (in my heart Foolish's accidental death by Pomme's sniper that got him eliminated from the elections won, but we did get Quackity dying to a fly as a nom so I feel complete. Also congrats to Acau!)

-The Qsmp shop is officially open! We got eggie merch :]

-Quackity forgot to roll clips for the Best Purgatory 2 Moment nominees and almost read out the winner before we got the montage (Wuant won! It was the clip of him being told he lost and he accidentally did a flip. They weren't able to get the acceptance speech on stream so we saw it from Quackity's phone)

-Funniest QSMP Moment nominees were all fucking hilarious, its hard to pick just one but Maxo winning for when he respawned after a lore-heavy moment in Pierre's bed to his own moans being remixed into a song absolutely deserved the win

-Saddest QSMP Moment was unnecessary and the admins will be hearing from my lawyers for making me relive Dapper's first lost life, Dia de los Muertos and the end of Purgatory 1 (Jaiden and Roier saying bye to Bobby won, Roier changed his screen to black and white and held up what looked like a mini Cucurucho being used as a cross)

-Best QSMP Original Song was played prematurely when the category was Best Language Exchange, and we got a spoiler for the winner (YD and Hugo's exchange won and YD's audio was muted so we just saw her Vtuber model getting excited)

-The aforementioned Best Qsmp Original Song had Gordinho Gostosinho looping aggressively over Charlie singing the Juanaflippa song, which I hope to god gets clipped cause it was hilarious (I'm glad the Roier and Cucurucho rap got nominated). Charlie was very confused why they had him announce his own win.

-Best PVP unsurprisingly went to Etoiles for his colosseum Code fight, after all he is the Best🔥 (the other noms were great too, we had Philza vs Tubbo in Purgatory, Bad and Maxo eliminating El Quackity from the elections, and a cute sparring session between Pac and Richas)

-Best Qsmp Fails went to Fit for that time Pac's internet cut out during their date (of course he bragged about his Brasilian boyfriend after learning he won for best loser)(also if it was up to me Quackity's fly deaths would've been added to this category just sayin')

-The audio problems were revealed to have been roleplay the entire time. Yep. All part of the lore.

-Speaking of, most of the winners who were in the discord call could not be heard so they had to give speeches through Quackity holding his phone up to the mic

-Best Roleplayer went to Roier for his Doied arc (the screen prematurely showed him before they could read the announcement, and his speech was him kissing the camera)

-Worst Server House went to Mariana accompanied with the classic clip of him reacting to the admins roasting his started base; Mariana was part of the discord call but left at some point so he couldn't give a speech, to which Charlie jumped on the opportunity to roast his absence like a shark smelling blood (they rightfully nominated Quackity for his clip of Acau reacting to his failure of a starter house, and apparently Carre's base is just his bed on a dirt plot)

-Most Iconic Clip went to Pac for stealing the Qsmp Logo (the other lovely noms included Foolish and co. accidentally closing their house door after a creeper came in an attempt to shut it out, and Tina reacting to a mob giving Felps a blowjob)

-The Most Bankrupt Islander went to Niki for being broke, we stan (during the nom montage we got a passa tudo mention)

-The Creator Who Spent the Most Time on the Server Award went to Bad, which was shocking to no one, although they did use his Barbie Girl clip for the nom montage (they also used Fit wearing a wig for his clip)

-The Qsmp cake for the one year anniversary had the text "FELICIDADES ALBERTO". We do not know who Alberto is. Pol was losing it.

-Tubbo won for The Creator With the Most Deaths (106), while The Creator With Fewest Deaths went to Philza (he only had 1!). Philza was able to be heard through stream but the hosts didn't know this so they would hear him from Quackity's phone and repeat what he was saying even though we could hear him

-Everytime the camera cut back to the hosts Charlie, Quackity and Missa had more cake on their faces

-Most Distance Traveled (in Minecraft) went to Etoiles (6,000+ km jfc)

-Creator With the Most Mob Kills went to Pierre (162,960 mob kills. what the fuck.)

-They accidentally read the award for Creator With the Most Damage Taken (Foolish) during the Best Builder announcement, confusing the shit out of everyone, especially cause the screen showed Mike instead of Foolish. I am still unclear who won Best Builder

-Creator With the Most Blocks Placed went to Mike!!! (MIKE WIN VAMBORAAAAAAAAAAA🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷)

-We had to uncomfortably sit through Missa feeding Charlie cake (and just Charlie in general)

-There was an In Memorium segment of the passed eggs (Quackity shat on a grieiving Charlie for Flippa only lasting 11 days, but in Charlie's words, "to you it was 11 days; to her it was a lifetime"). Charlie commentated and had nothing to say about Trump because he didn't know jack shit about Trump (though he did make a wall joke which is exactly what Maxo would have wanted godbless🙏)

-The stream ended with the discord people saying goodbye, while Roier was holding up the mini Cucuruchos and didn't move the entire time. I know he wasn't frozen because he blinked.

-Maxo sent in his acceptance speech video last minute and Quackity hyped it up as a mysterious final entry but Charlie guessed it was Maxo and spoiled it on accident

-Speaking of, Maxo's entry was him walking around heaven looking for Trump </3

-Charlie gave a heartfelt speech about the people he met through the Qsmp, all while looking like ate out frosty the snowman <3. Missa simpy thanked Alberto (we still do not know who Alberto is)

-Tubbo wasn't present in the discord call because he thought him streaming meant he couldn't join. After the stream Quackity called and Tubbo realized he was allowed to join the whole time

-We ended on a montage of various moments, with a message of excitement looking forward to the next year!

And of course, here are the screenies I managed to nab of the hosts slowly deteriorating into cake

[bookshelfdreams]

other translation choices the german ofmd dub makes that I adore:

"lily-livered little rich boy" - "kleines feiges Bonzenbürschchen" Bonze (Bürschchen is like Boy (disrespectful)) being the interesting word here - it's a derogatory term for rich and powerful people who abuse their enormous influence for their own benefit. Out of the mouth of father Bonnet it's an epic self own

"Don' trifle with me" is translated as "Don't play games with me" ("Spielen Sie keine Spielchen mit mir!") which deteriorates into "Nicht spielen!" ("No playing!") said with the same tone of voice someone might use with an unfamiliar but suspiciously growly dog. Amazing 10/10

Mate - Kumpel. Which, ik, is the obvious choice but: Kumpel is originally what miners called each other (and still do afaik). It's not really nautical but does have strong working class vibes, which delights me for reasons of Themes and Motives.

When Izzy spits and mutters "Pirates my ass" in ep2, german!Izzy says Schwachmatenpiraten. (Schwachmat meaning imbecile/idiot/moron) Excellent use of compound nouns, this is my new favourite word.

Speaking of Izzy insults, another fave: at the beginning of ep6, when Ed demostrates a fuckery, Izzy snaps at Stede for failing to call Ed Blackbeard and calls him Banause. This is an insult for people who are uncultered/uneducated and don't appreciate art.

After Calico Jack tries and fails to shoot the bottle he says "Daneben" (missed) to which Buttons replies "Ein bisschen" (a bit). Fun little bit of passive aggression - something or someone being daneben can also mean it's inappropriate or unpleasant.

The quiet, thoughtful way german!Ed says "... du." right before the kiss. He sounds much less certain and more questioning than the og which I feel Very Normal about.

[sugdenlovesdingle]

So I just read an article in the paper about the UK government wanting to ban the (and I quote) "dangerous American super-bulldog" - the American Bully XL. Please excuse me while I roll my eyes at this bullshit.

The reason for this is apparently a man in Staffordshire being "mauled to death" by two dogs of that breed and according to Rishi Sunak it's a pattern in the breed's behaviour.

Even though apparently those specific dogs had attacked another dog before this incident and people had expressed their concern about them to the police.

That sounds to me like a problem with those specific dogs and even more so the owner. But the dogs get euthanised and the guy gets to go home on bail.

The article also quotes Bojo saying the problem in most cases is the owner and not the dog itself - and I never thought I'd say it but - listen to Boris!

I worked as a dog walker for four years and yes we had a staffie that became too much of a problem that we had to drop it as a client (because the owners wouldn't get it neutered even though the hormones were making it aggressive to us AND THEM) but we also had a dachshund that would terrorise the other dogs and tried to bite your face off if he was in a face-height crate in the bus. And we had a chihuahua who only wanted to ride in the front with my boss - and he'd also try to bite your face off if you tried to put it in a crate in the back. Same with a Jack Russell. Most of the big "dangerous" dogs were gentle giants. (my boss' wife used to walk 3 Dogues de Bordeaux when she was pregnant with their first and she'd always tell me she never felt more safe).

First it were German shepherds that were dangerous, then rottweilers, then staffies and everything that looks like staffies, and now the American Bully XL.

My old neighbours have a dog like that and I swear to god it was scared of its own shadow. It would run and hide before attacking anyone.

Banning a breed doesn't solve the problem if the assholes that own them "train" them to be fighting dogs, forcing ALL bullies to wear a muzzle in public won't solve the problem if people still don't train their dogs normally (and may cause medical issues because of their brachycephalic faces - the flat noses). Your dog is your responsibility. If you know your dog doesn't get on with other dogs, keep it on a leash and away from other dogs. If you know your dog might snap in certain situations, it is your duty as an owner to make sure that doesn't happen. To your dog and the rest of the world.

The only ones who will benefit from this ban will be the manufacturers and sellers of muzzles for dogs with brachycephalic faces.

Sorry for the rant but this pisses me off.

[seitmai]

Ok I couldn't stop thinking about the daggers as dogs since yesterday reading "Was It Over?" Chapter 9 by @ohtobeleah, I now proudly present:

The daggers as dogs

Hangman - German Shepherd

This is als Leah's idea but I can see it so vividly and it makes so much more sense reading into them. They are intelligent, loyal and energetic. But they are also confident and alert, which comes in handy with their protective instincts. Also what can I say, I think Jake in dog form would look like a German Shepherd. That's it.

Rooster - Siberian Husky

Those dogs are independent, active and playful but also fucking stubborn. They can be little drama queens (gn) with the howling and whining because they need attention. A perfect fit for Bradley, the man with the sunglasses on, inside a bar.

Phoenix - Dalmatian

I think Dalmatians are beautiful with a special form of grace. They can be reserved or even a little aggressive with strangers but are also known for smiling, when they are with their humans. What can I say, that's Phoenix to me. Due to being a woman in the Navy she has to keep her guard up, especially around people she doesn't know. Once she gets to know someone, her bright character and smile can be seen regularly.

Coyote - Doberman Pinscher

First of all I don't know what Javy's skincare is, but it must be good because he is glowing. And I get the same feeling seen a Doberman Pinscher. They are also good-natured, intelligent, active and super loyal. So loyal that they are sometimes considered "velcro dogs". Which makes sense in my eyes, seeing him and Jake as besties together.

Payback - Bernese Mountain Dog

That man is a family man in my head, and a bernese mountain dog is the family dog. They are patient, social and especially good with children. Don't tell me all of this doesn't absolutely sound like Reuben? If you disagree, you are wrong. I don't make the rules.

Fanboy - Beagle

I literally googled "startrek dog" and there was a Beagle lol. But then I read about it and wow it fits! They are adaptable, curious and loving. As if it wouldn’t fit already perfectly, they also have a natural desire to please. What can I say, Mickey in my head has a praise kink so that tracks.

BOB - Great Dane

Ahh yes, the gentle giant under the dogs. They are shy and reserved but will be devoted, friendly and affectioned to their loved ones. So basically, Bob in dogform, I rest my case your honor.

My credentials are: I love dogs and have unrestricted internet access lol

[calamitaswrath]

Cal Lucia plays Fire Emblem Path of Radiance: Chapter 14

A couple of story beats in Begnion, and. . . well, I can't really say much on them. Ike standing in for Elincia is nice moment, and my first impression is "Ah, that's how some people delude themselves into thinking that Ike and Elincia could be an implied couple". But really, what stands out more than anything is Oliver being there, cause I have definitely heard about him. Something about his obsession with beauty, him being a slaver, but also being a playable character?

It's a good thing though that I had some time to let the story beats of this chapter so far simmer a bit because I didn't get to play, cause that gave me time to let them Sink In. Begnion strikes me as the type of decadent but powerful nation that is so caught up in its own safety that it doesn't really acknowledge the threat of the antagonists until it is too late. To compare it to something, it brings to mind the High Entia Empire/Alcamoth from Xenoblade 1. Which is to say, I could also see some story beats similar to Xenoblade 1 taking place, like corruption which runs deep in the nation, or an unexpected attack from the main antagonists catching Begnion off-guard and forcing them into action. Considering that Oliver is an official here, I can definitely see the former being a thing.

Also, something about that tower in the capital. I vaguely remember hearing that the final boss fight of Radiant Dawn takes place here? I think?

New base conversations!

Marcia being from Begnion is addressed, which is nice. She's honestly pretty minor of a character, so seeing her search for her brother and all that being acknowledged is. . . I don't wanna say nice again, but it just is.

Stella's background getting explored, which I suppose is to be expected. She literally just joined after all, so there is stuff that needs to be acknowledged. Still not sure if I'm going to use her moving forward. . . the fast exp growth is nice, but I'm already having trouble deciding on who to deploy as is.

Gatrie ogling the woman, expecting Ike to join him. Yeah, I do not think that that is going to happen.

A conversation with a maid, who seems to hint at a lot of stuff. A laguz that doesn't transform back. . . is that gonna be a boss, or a new recruit? Either way, it's funny that Ike doesn't say a single word throughout that entire conversation.

Unlocked the support between Jill and Mist! I heard that getting this one is important, and it's a nice one. . . but also really short.

Well, some bonus exp usage later, let's continue the story.

Five days spent here already? That's the third time already where the game gives me instances that make my writer brain go brrrr. There's a timeframe to fill.

God, I love the sibling interactions between Ike and Mist

Ah, this has all the framing of a filler chapter. Important but slow stuff is happening here, so go somewhere else and have a battle.

We're supposed to stop merchants? That sounds like something that bandits would do. Are we the baddies?

. . .Oh. Those kinds of merchants. Yeah, we're not the baddies.

Ah! Serene's Forest? Now that is a name that you can't get around hearing when you're a Fire Emblem fan. So this is where it originates, eh? And references to a massacre, too. . . juicy little story bitses.

And there's a certain guy named "Makalov" on the enemy side on this map. I have heard of him. What I have not heard of him are good things.

Huh, a named character in the bottom left house. . . already forgot her name, but judging by the fact that she is named at all, I wanna say that she turns up later.

Makalov talks about his sister. . . ohhhhh, Marcia is his sister! I thought I'd need to talk to him with Ike. Well, that frees up my strategy by a lot.

You know, for enemies that are called "untamed ones" in German, these enemy laguz are surprisingly tame. Not even aggressive when I get into their range.

Boss talking about having nobles as his costumers. I guess that's how Oliver gets brought into this.

. . .Ike, how are you still not putting together what these merchants are working with.

­*Twirls hair* Hiiiii again Miss Tanith

Uhhh, another animated cutscene! And it's not ruined by voice acting

Oh, is this a meeting between Laguz kings? Interesting. Some actual politics, tensions, and worldbuilding!

Ah, so Nasaela's just ambitious. Still seems a bit greedy to go for such small fry as a random Daein commander who chases after Elincia, though.

I actually remember something about Reyson, I think! Wasn't there a scene later on where he punches somebody, but because bird Laguz have hollow bones like actual birds, he breaks his own arm doing so, but he doesn't regret it anyway because it felt good?

And a mention of "Lehran's Medallion". . . gee, I wonder where that could be. Good thing that that part being obvious doesn't actually answer why Mist has it, and what its signifance is.

Well, that was a lot more story-heavy content for a chapter that I was initially dismissive of. Colour me satisfied!

[one-winged-dreams]

Personal Opinions

ship: seth x dean myers source: original content word count: 1045

SO YEAH. Dogs. Dean fucking loves dogs. This was about that one concept I mentioned earlier.

also i forgor to mention that this s/i has a different name so i can be weird and meta about dean being jacob's friend and them both having goth bfs akjsgdh (seth was the other name i wanted to go with when i was picking a name, fun fax)

tag list: @dearly-beeloved @kylars-princess @adoredbyalatus @dorothys-wife @the-sleeping-city

@dear-gambler @goldenworldsabound @sunstar-of-the-north @faerie-circle-ships @mahitosoulmate

Dean had only left the room for as long as it took to have a smoke, though admittedly, he felt a bit guilty for leaving Seth alone for even that long. They were only just recently breaching Seth's feeling awkward being at his house, no matter how many times Dean had reassured him that he didn't care what he did or how much he made himself at home.

As he re-entered the house through the sliding back door, he walked through the dining room and into the living room. He had intended to announce himself, before noting the additional factor to the sight of Seth sitting on the couch, once again acting as if he were a guest and not explicitly free to use his boyfriend perks.

That factor was Scout.

The German Shepherd was usually very well-behaved. Somewhat stoic like his owner, he took to people with neutrality and indifference. But here he was, sitting right in front of a very conflicted-looking Seth, his tail wagging as he pawed at Seth's knee.

Dean regarded him for a moment before speaking.

"Doe," he called out, making Seth jump slightly in surprise.

"Y-yeah?" he stammered, looking flustered and confused.

Dean jerked his head towards Scout pointedly.

"Pet him before he blows a gasket," he said, his tone flat and neutral as always.

Seth blinked in surprise as if having permission to pet Dean's dog hadn't occurred to him. He regarded Scout for a moment, offering his hand like he always did when he came over, only to receive an impatient nose bump to the underside of his hand. Seth squeaked, a sound that always had a one-in-ten chance of making Dean want to pick him up and squeeze him. Unfortunately, that statistic was skewed by how often he made that damn noise.

Having been familiar enough with Scout by now to know where he liked and disliked being pet, Seth's hand came up to pet the side of his face. Though the initial contact had always been short, around 10 seconds, Seth had progressed to petting Scout as long as the dog desired. Which was, woefully to him, quite a lot. Every time Seth would pull his hand away, Scout would paw at his knee again, prompting him to keep his hand on Scout's face for even longer periods.

"Scout," Dean finally called out, once again with no particular tone or expression, "ease off, bud."

Though Dean was always impassively unreadable, Scout was in tune with his owner's expressions. Content to be a smartass about it, the dog hopped up onto the couch and proceeded to lay his head on Seth's lap, effectively trapping him.

As Seth stammered, flustered by the affection, Dean merely let out a stoic hum.

"You're good with dogs," he commented, coming around to sit next to Seth on the couch.

"I- I mean. I grew up around them. They were… all chihuahuas, though…" Seth admitted, looking down at Scout, who contentedly huffed.

"Chihuahuas, huh?" Dean asked in no particular tone. "Small dogs. Don't think I could handle something like that."

"They're actually really good dogs. People mistake them for aggressive because they're territorial. Which is to say, they're protective of their owners and only bond to their families, I think?" Seth responded, idly stroking Scout's head and neck.

Dean let out an affirmative grunt, not really saying much to that.

It was quiet for a moment before Dean leaned back on the couch, crossing his arms over his chest.

"So you're serious about that borzoi, right?" he asked, sounding absolutely neutral on the subject.

Seth blinked.

"Uhm. I'd like to think so. It's just a matter of finding one. Ethical breeders are super expensive, and I haven't had any luck on any of the adoption sites I frequent," he sighed, tucking some hair behind his ear idly. Another little -ism that tested Dean's stoicism.

"You think you've got the resources to take care of one?" Dean's head tilted back, resting against the wall. He made no indication of where he was going with this.

"I-I mean," Seth stammered, thinking. "I've like, considered the costs and stuff. With the cafe work and the plushie shop I made sure I'd have enough to keep up with its needs."

"You've thought about this a lot," Dean seemed to confirm his thoughts on the matter, glancing at Seth out of the corner of his eye.

"I guess so, yeah. I dunno, it'd be nice to just have some creepy-looking dog to keep me company. My apartment feels empty a lot." Seth looked at Dean. "Aside from when you come over, I mean."

Dean snorted, the barest hint of a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"You don't need to reassure me, I get it. I just wanted to give you a little appraisal. Don't like irresponsible dog owners."

"And… what do you think?" Seth asked sheepishly, glancing between Scout and Dean.

"Honestly?" Dean arched an eyebrow. "You sound like you're fine. Definitely see you taking good care of one."

Seth seemed relieved, relaxing considerably as Dean took out his phone and idly checked his notifications.

"Care too much about what other people think, though," Dean added, making Seth's eyes widen. He couldn't help but genuinely smirk a tiny bit at the way Seth stammered.

"Th-Thanks anyway," Seth finally managed to get out. "I DO care too much about what other people think but… It's nice to hear some reassurance from someone… close."

"You mean your boyfriend?" Dean asked bluntly, not taking his eyes off his phone.

The squeak that left Seth was almost enough to crack Dean the rest of the way, especially with how fogged up Seth's glasses were getting.

"Y-Yes! Yes, exactly that," Seth whimpered, petting Scout more intensely to ground himself.

Dean simply responded with a hum.

"That's fair. Anyway, you staying for dinner?"

This got Seth blushing again, chuckling awkwardly and keeping his gaze downward.

"I guess so. I don't think Scout is letting me go home anytime soon."

"Hm. Guess not," Dean finally offered a half-smile before standing up. "Guess I'll get to it. Let you know when it's done."

As the two exchanged nods, Dean left for the kitchen, sending one last text to the puppy foster.

[kingmagnificoofrosas]

So you're from Germany? Can you tell me how much different Magnifico's voice is in the German dub compared to the original?

Hallo, hi! Yes, I am bilingual and I'm from Germany. 🇩🇪

How is Magnifico's voice different in german. Hmmm ...

Honestly? Not sooo much different. I know many say we germans sound harsh and aggressive, which, no? I mean, I get that we have some very long words and believe me, most germans don't even know those themselves 😆 It depends how you say the words. Of course, if you say everything aggressive, it will sound that way. No matter the language.

People often have trouble with the sch and ch sounds. But have you ever heard hebrew? 😆 well good luck! And there are many more languages that have those sounds. Also our ä ö ü sounds are tricky for newbies and not to forget our der, die, das. Which is basically just male, female and it for things. Just like in spanish and french for example. English is sooooo simple with it's "the" you don't have a "male chair" der Stuhl or die Couch (female) don't ask me who the heck thought it was a good idea to make objects male or female or an it in terms of description 🫣

Oddly enough, I think Magnifico's speaking becomes softer in german. If I compare "At all costs" in german to english, the german vers. Is more soft sounding to me, whereas, "this is the thanks I get" doesn't work in german at all! 😅

Fun fact, I LOVE how Magnifico rolls the R's. For example when he mentions Rosas. Or sometimes he has some sort of accent I cannot really place my finger on, I just know I LOVE to hear it in his voice!

[enrichmentformaverick]

Hey I'm looking to get a cane corso in the next couple of years. I'm a pretty small person but I work at a dog daycare with plenty of large dog breeds so i don't think size is a major concern for me. I love obedience training, joring sports, outdoor adventures, and I'm looking for a gaurd dog who doesn't react excessively (like some gsds, mals, and dobies I've met). I'd love to hear about you're experience with Vino and any other corsos you've met before. Do you experience any negative stigma? Are they as crazy as many "loaded gun" dog owners say they are (like with malinois)? How big is Vino and how strong is she? Is she quick to learn? Does a dog like that require more work than other working gaurd dogs other than because of size? I hope I'm not too interrogative 😅 thanks!

Hey thanks for the ask! It sounds like a Corso might be a perfect fit for you! Corsi are like many big working breeds where the breeder you get your dog from makes all the difference. You can get a Corso who is all of your worst fears and more, or you can get one like Vino who improves the lives of everyone she meets forever. I’m only exaggerating a little

For sure there is some negative stigma just like with any large dog breed. Mostly though I get people asking what she is. I get many more negative reactions about my German shepherd Maverick.

Corsi in my experience are not hyped up dogs, much more steady and consistent than a mal or a dutchie or even a working line shepherd. They have a lot in common with Doberman but in my experience are less prone to reactivity and anxiety. But again that can totally depend on your individual dog.

Vino is 90lbs and is a little small, but not by much. People think corsi should be as large as possible but the bigger they are the less they can work. Also the people interested in making them crazy huge usually don’t care about other more important things like health, temperament, etc. She is crazy strong and super muscular, but she uses her strength to work with me not against me, which I was careful to do on purpose. Also it helps that she has Maverick to wrestle with, cuz they are so close in size she can really put her whole body into it.

Vino is crazy smart and picks up stuff super quick. It constantly surprises me, the first time I give her a reward for something she is like “okay cool I’ll do that thing all the time now no problem”. She learns quick and it sticks around in her brain. I’ve never worked with another dog who is so good at both the learning and the applying. She is an amazing sport dog and training partner.

I don’t think Corsi are crazy different from other similar breeds. They care very much about being your partner/teammate. They want to be involved in your life. Setting appropriate boundaries with behavior and with their body is important, especially when they are a puppy, but that’s true of all big dogs. Remember that they are usually dog neutral and or same sex aggressive, so don’t get one expecting it to be a doggy daycare dog. And socialize with that in mind, neutral experiences around other dogs are super important.

I could talk about Cane Corso and my dogs all day long, feel free to ask more questions or dm me. Also I know a lot of amazing breeders so if you want to tell me where ish you live I may be able to recommend someone

Thanks for the ask! Here is a silly baby pic

there is a trend on tiktok where white supremacists use dog breeds as a stand in for race. you know, pictures of like, golden retrievers and german shepherds uniting to exterminate their common enemy, the pit bulls (yeah, it's not subtle). i know when you & other pure bred dog enthusiasts talk abt hereditary traits & pure bloodlines & "some breeds just being more aggressive than others", you don't MEAN to sound like them. but still it's uncomfortably close to their rhetoric

i mean. i know anti pitbull rhetoric is often a white supremacist dog whistle. but that's not at all in line with anything I've said lmao. i dont see how acknowledging that pit bulls are large terriers bred originally to fight other dogs (making them unsuitable for most pet homes etc) is at all aligned with calling for the extermination of pit bulls or. like in the white supremacist case, extermination of racial minorities. i Never said that pit bulls needed to be culled or exterminated. I don't have a problem with the breed existing, and i dont think they're bad dogs, i just think people should absolutely know what they're getting into when owning one.

tbh there's a lot of dog breeds that i think don't belong in pet homes, not just pit bulls obviously. the reason pits are a particular issue in the states is because they exist in pretty large number, particularly in dog shelters, and when they do happen to bite, their bites tend to be more injurious than that of other popular dogs. there's a reason they greatly outnumber other breeds in reported bites, and it's not really because the pit bull breed is hyper aggressivr or anything. it's because there's so many of them, and the few that do bite usually bite pretty damn hard and will bite multiple times, as a product of their history as dog-fighting terriers.

let me be clear, i dont think they are biting at a rate higher than other dogs. i dont even think they're particularly aggressive (to humans) in general. but there's still plenty of evidence to support that the USA does have a problem with pit bull related deaths and mauling.

( i will say ..my post was also talking about other, less dangerous but still often undesirable behaviors (in a pet home) that are present in pit bulls (ie separation anxiety, reactivity, DA, prey drive) that many owners arent prepared for when adopting a dog.)

(Lbr too german shepherds are also responsible for their fair share of bites and human deaths too. not as much as pitties, but still a 3rd of human deaths by dog attack in the USA are attributed to GSDs. that's another breed that does not belong in the hands of most inexperienced pet owners. they're prone to insane amounts of anxiety, fear aggression, and prey drive, self mutilation, separation anxiety, etc, and they're also ..big and strong. so far the only dog i have actually been scared of was a GSD. there's absolutely also something to be said about GSDs/malinois being used for policing as well but im not going to talk about that much here)

anywayyyyyy i dont mean to be annoyingly long winded. but please try to understand that when I'm talking about dogs im not using them as a metaphor for race. I dont like breed bans and i dont like the idea of exterminating any breed, even ones that have been purposfully bred for human aggression. the issue is incredibly nuanced and i know dog breeds are deeply entangled with racial politics in the USA and i genuinely don't want to echo the same rhetoric as white supremacists..But more often than not white supremacists are so anti pitbull they will daydream about attacking or killing pits, or will think literally every single pit is an evil monster that eats babies for breakfast. Like i think there's space to talk about the current dog bite fatality issue while still having empathy for pit bulls that isnt either being a fascist or a nanny dog believer.

now about león being "abusive" and "dangerous"... i won't deny it, sometimes he overreacts and can sound really rude and aggressive. it's true.

but like i saw this person say that it was TERRIFYING the way he would scream at people (specially women) and how it seemed like he was the kind of person who would mistreat employees and beat people up???? and not just that, they also defended diego because he's a "prince, a gentleman".

so um... what about the scene where diego snaps at german (who's disguised as a waiter) for bringing the wrong order? or when he would act all bossy and threatening around león (or marco, when he confronted diego about secretly-filming-the-rehearsal, pointing his finger at marco)?

the truth is every character can be mean and aggressive, and we see it. I'm not saying this as a way to defend león's attitude but to show how this argument makes no sense. to accuse him of like being an abusive bf who gaslights and is violent is so low. i agree that many times león is just a rich, spoiled kid who tries to solve his problems with an aggressive posture and i feel like, if people don't like him for that, that's valid ofc.

but uughhh i hate how they turned a KID'S SHOW into this huge discussion about abuse and sexism???? dude GET A LIFE. GO TOUCH SOME GRASS. can't you just enjoy something without having to bring all these shit up?
