Sh*t has hit the fan in equestrian sport and I genuinely wonder if this is the beginning of the end of it's social license to operate.

I used to respect Charlotte Dujardin as "one of the kinder riders out there". Sadly it seems like this was all just marketing. She just happened to have a horse like Valegro that tolerated her harsh handling (she described him as "hard mouthed" which is a pretty good indication that he had poor training to start with).

But she was the golden girl of dressage and the UK's darling of the sport. Now the curtain is peeled back to reveal casual whipping of a horse's legs over 24 times, commenting how the whip "doesn't whip hard enough."

Methodical and not at all seeming angry or disregulated while the 15 year old on the panicked horse's back cries out. This is not a one off. It's a technique. I've seen it before. Instuctors that chase after "lazy" horses in riding schools with a whip so that the horse "doesn't get away with it."

What about horses getting chased around a round yard with a whip until rearing in panic and lathered up in sweat? I've seen that too, during an equine science program where we were supposed to be learning how to break in weanlings.

It just happens to be a Olympic gold medalist doing it and getting caught.

In the article it says "you can't force a 400-500kg animal to do something." You absolutely can and horses are regularly forced into things they don't want to do. They're flighty prey animals. They say "no" pretty clearly in competition rings but then the whip comes out, the spurs go on and the horse shuts down. Despite the blue tongues from lack of oxygen, mouths strapped shut with tight nosebands, bits that they can't escape from, froth and blood in their mouths, they continue. Because they have no choice.

When your training principle relies on negative reinforcement and positive punishment, escalation like this inevitably occurs. When your training principle is based in domiance, on "not letting them get away with it" and on "making them do it", this is where it goes. The horse's autonomy and feelings diminished into "naughty" or "just trying to be lazy" ... not fear or pain or just a simple struggle to do something they're not physically able to do.

And it becomes normalised, laughed off and accepted, especially when a gold medalist Olympian does it.

The only reason this is a scandal is because an elite rider got caught doing it. But this is not a one off or a "bad apple" this is what the entire traditional horse training model is based on.

The FEI is making a big show of this because they want to look tough on horse welfare so the Olympics doesn't throw out Equestrian sport. But just wait until the dressage kicks off. We will see the same tense, stressed out horses, toe flicking and hollow with hop-step piaffes that are an insult to the Classic masters of old.

The sport of dressage will crash and burn if it continues on its current trajectory. Equestrian sport will follow as a whole when the public realises these are not animals "enjoying their jobs". Unless the FEI allows for a huge paradigm shift where people can compete tackless and use positive reinforcement (actual +R and not the pathetic pat on the neck they pass off as +R), the sport will fall to ruin and the elites will have only themselves to blame.

Thinking about...

Shooting instuctor!Toji

Cw: gn!reader, suggestive (he's just flirty), obvi guns

Everyone knows Toji is a great shot. He used to compete in nationals and won some impressive prizes. Now he's just teaching at the local shooting site to make some extra money and flirt.

You are an absolute beginner, your aim is a bit shitty and you struggle with loading and unloading, your hands embarassingly clumsy with the foreign metal. Toji tends to tease you for it, his scarred lips turning up into a cocky smirk.

But Toji is a helpful coach, he can teach you everything! He stands behind you and takes your hands in his, guiding you into the correct posture, helping you aim and whispering advices in your ear. No wonder you miss every time! He knows damn well how much he's distracting you, and he revels in it. He might press his big body against your smaller a little too tight, sigh or chuckle in your ear a little too lowly. You'll be lucky if your knees don't give out.

His hands wander between your shoulders and your hands, adjusting your grip on the gun. He holds your waist - to remind you to keep the correct posture of course. The way his fingers gently tap your waist or hip makes you giggle from how ticklish and embarassing it feels. But it's impossible to not notice just how big and warm his hands are when they're pressed right against your skin. He has a field day if you ever wear a crop top, it's like his hand needs to always be on your waist. Hey, are you even paying attention to the target now?

Toji is not just flirty, he's also pretty friendly. He keeps quiet at first, but then opens up and is very easy to talk to. Once you gain his friendship, he might show you his house and his relatively small but still impressive firearm collection. Showing off and explaining how each has to be cleaned. They're his babies, he says. He does NOT let you use them😭

Toji totally turns your shared little hobby-related visits into something else. He lets you crawl close to him on the couch to watch sports with him (careful though, he gets heated sometimes and starts screaming at the TV). He guides you into each room by the hips or the waist. He shamelessly checks out your ass <3 and of course he constantly reminds you of how shitty your aim used to be before he improved it.

Pandora’s Box

Agency Founder!Reader Meeting the Main Three + 2BDamned

May be a little long, sorry there’s a lot for reader considering they are in the place of my OC. So instead if your name being “Pandora” you’ll have it as your Alias while keeping (Y/n) as well. Reader will have gender neutral pronouns, but still will be fem presenting.

Before meeting the main four along with building your own agency you used to work at the AAHW as a drill instructor. And a really good and brutal one at that.

This was also before the AAHW had even decided to clone soldats. Every month you’d rotate about a platoon worth of newer grunts that had been cloned, and turn them into the Soldats you see in the MadCom series or Project Nexus.

Those who failed the requirements of becoming a soldat would either become the regular agents, or if they failed really bad, they’d become a janitor or whatever the agency does with them. You honestly couldn’t care less about them. In this world, it’s either you kill someone, or you end up being a bandit’s next meal.

You had a knack for drilling them deep into the ground with learning the basics of shooting, handling, cleaning, disassemble and reassemble their weapons along with moving tactically and reading each other efficiently. After that, you’d move onto the next rotation. Repeating the same thing over and over again. Until you quit that was.

The reason why you quit was because of the really horrid pay the agency would give you for producing high functioning and dangerous soldats. That and the sexual harassment you’d constantly face. Unlucky for them, you’d make an example out of them. Though it seems that some of the grunts in that god awful agency wouldn’t learn.

So as a big fuck you, you left the AAHW and created a new one with the soldats you knew thought about going AWOL. You were just that push. Of course you’d have them dress differently, they were their own people now that they were gone from the place they were created from. Still it you could tell that the GO4s had a harder time adjusting considering they would just stare at you and wait for your orders of a new job that was given to you. But hey, they made great mercenaries for your company anyways. So why not put it to use?

Though this one grunt, Charlie is what they called themselves, seemed to have a knack a cyber security and attacks. So you ended up making them your agency’s CyberSecurity and Hacker. You two ended up bonding pretty well actually

Though your company ended growing more than you expected with people who were out on the streets struggling willing to do anything. Plus they heard that your agency pays well too along with housing and feeding them. They heard about the job openings of your newly formed agency and took the risk. Now you and the GO4s act as Drill Instuctors for the new recruits who come in before sending them off to their first job. Of course there’d be some that don’t make it back, but that was also why you sent them in teams.

There’d be times you’d take in the bigger fish yourself considering your skill was much more honed than the others. You didn’t want to put your own lower enlisted mercs through that anyways. Though you’d take in the ones who you knew were able to handle it.

There was a time out of pure boredom you decided to open up a nightclub, called “Eden’s Gate” to your surprise it ended up doing well. But that’s for something later.

Your agency ended up growing bigger than you expected to where your agency, which was now called Pandora’s Box, ended up having to expand to different parts of the city. Of course you had the trusted GO4s run those parts of the agency. Though for extra precautions, you had Charlie keep an eye on them.

You sat in your office, filling out paperwork for one of the mercenaries who had finished their job and was now having some time to recover considering how wounded they were coming back. As an extra, you ended up paying them a little more along with covering their medical expenses. You sighed, leaning back into your chair before hearing the familiar tune that would play whenever Charlie would call you. It cane from your earpiece.

They explain to you that someone was here to see you. Of course, you were confused. You hadn’t schedule a meeting with someone. Grabbing your gun that rested on top of your desk and putting it into the holster that was on your hip, you go down to the lobby of you HQ only to be faced with the one and only 2BDamned

{2BDAMNED}

2BDamned would probably be the one who would’ve caught wind of you first before the other three. He had heard of the AAHW soldats were becoming more sloppy than the usual trouble they used to be. Though he just chalked it up to all that cloning the AAHW would do. Deimos had mentioned about the cloning process not being perfect so there’d be things the next gen wouldn’t have that the previous one did. But right now he was focused on another thing.

He had heard of a new agency coming up and thriving really well. A little too well to where they had to expand to different parts of the Nexus city. Apparently, its name was Pandora’s Box. But that wasn’t what caught his interest, if anything it was that your agency was rapidly growing that was what caught his interest.

He would to attempt pull up information on your agency, let along you, only to find out that your information was heavily secured. Of course, he’d have Deimos decrypt it. Though Deimos was pretty damn frustrated with how complicated the encryption was, he was able get it through in the end.

His interest in you would peak even high after reading what information he had gotten on you. Apparently you had used to work at the AAHW as a Drill Instructor for the Soldats. And a pretty harsh one too at that. He watched the videos that were put up from the security cams from the AAHW, watching you smother a soldat’s face into the ground with your boot after he had said something snarky about you. Like you said, you’d make an example out of him.

Other videos would include your marksmanship and how agile you were. It almost rivaled to Hank’s. Though your strength on the other hand, Hank easily outshines you on that. But you had your technique to make up for that, seeing as you had brought a G0L3M onto their knees. 2B would also read the reports of several soldats going AWOL as soon as you left. Ones that were on the watchlist of the AAHW. Apparently they had all left with you. And considering that you left, he had found the reason to why the quality in the soldats in the AAHW had declined.

He made it his priority to seek you out, it’d probably be best their best interest to have someone like you to become an ally to the Anti-AAHW. Let alone help snuff out the AAHW. He told the main three that he would be out in a couple of days. Sanford was the only one to have questioned him, only to be told that it would be something that would help them out in the long run.

Now this is where you are standing right in front of him, arms crossed as you look at him with your guard up. Of course the other mercenaries were out in the lobby, watching you two making sure nothing ends up going haywire while doing what they were doing before 2B had entered into the HQ building.

“I assume you must be who they, Pandora?” His red goggles shining in the light as his voice was lightly muffled from his mask. 2B looks up from his holopad and straight into yours.

“Your assumptions would be correct, Mr. 2BDamned… May I ask, of all other people, why you are here?” You let out long exhale through your nostril. It was obvious you were careful around this man, considering he was also working with that Hank guy and his friends. Or could you even call them that?

“I’d like to talk to you about a possible partnership with the Anti-AAHW” That was what had peaked your interest along with the others who were inside the room at the time. You raise your eyebrow, the corner of your lips cocked upwards giving 2B a crooked smile.

“I’m listening…”

From there the two of you would talk about your agencies’ partnership, what the two of you would be giving to each other and what you’d be receiving back.

2BDamned thought of you as someone who was serious and cooperative. Let alone professional enough to where he finds you pleasant to work with and be around. Unlike the other three. Aside from Sanford, but even he sometimes had his moments.

2B would give you a couple of jobs, ones where you knew that you only had to do it. He’d pay of course, let alone exchange enough info with you for you to carry out and complete it. Anything to get whatever he needed you to do. He also made sure to guarantee that he would have tour back as long as you have theirs.

In exchange, you carried out the job and shipped weapon crates to them, provided extra mercenaries and had Charlie given them back info on whatever place they needed to be scouted.

2BDamned did think about when the other three may have to meet you soon. And honestly, he wondered how fast you and the others would clear. Though considering Hank doesn’t like to work with people, it may take a minute… At least for him anyways. Too bad, he needed to suck it up anyways.

{HANK J. WIMBLETON}

Hank had met you when 2B had set him up with a partner, despite him knowing how he hates working with people. Let alone random strangers. He tolerated the other two, but still prefers going on solos. He didn’t really talk to you, only staring at you through his red goggles before giving an irritated grunt.

2BDamned scolded him for it, saying how rude for him to act the way he was. But he didn’t care. Especially after he knows he could complete a whole raid on the AAHW himself. Still 2B didn’t let up and forces him to go on a raid with you.

The ride there was silent between the two of you, the only time the two of you had talk was when the two of you had spoke about what this raid was even for. Well more of you than him. Apparently it was for intel, why couldn’t 2B just send Deimos with him instead of this random grunt? You say nothing as it didn’t pertain to the job prior. Other than that, you both said nothing to each other.

When you two get to the agency building you were assigned to, you could imagine Hank’s relief when you said the two of you will split for this. And that he was going to be the main focus of all the chaos that would be ensured in the building. Meaning he will be the one providing a good distraction for you.

Good, he preferred having more things to slaughter anyways. Plus he didn’t have to deal with you if you had gotten shot. Not like he would’ve left you for dead anyways if you ever did.

When the two of you split, Hank had wasted no time kicking up the genocide that happens every time he raids an AAHW building. How the rush of adrenaline and bloodlust ran through his veins as he would pop one of the agent’s head open, scattering blood and brain matter all over the floor and his fellow co-workers before going to the next one.

He didn’t know how long it was, all he knew was that he had gone through multiple rooms already. But what caught him off guard the most was when he had entered a room and saw the same carnage he had brought to those behind him. Except this time he wasn’t the one who had done this.

Not only that, Hank notices the clean cuts to the neck of the agents and soldats that were lying in their own pool of blood, both red and yellow creating that muddy looking orange. Hell even the shots they had taken were straight to the dome. 

Then he remembered you were still on this mission with him.

He wasn’t going to lie, he was honestly impressed to find someone who can deal this much damage and was efficient enough to know what they were doing with a blade. 

That was until he had walked into the room where you were located in. That being the east wing of the building where you had pinged him.

When he reaches to your location, you walk through the door from the room you had pinged him from. You were unscathed other than the yellow and crimson blood that coated your hands. You only gave Hank a side glance before brushing past him. 

He looks inside the room. It was nothing but broken bodies everywhere. Tables broken with soldats who lay on top of it, unmoving. Gunshot holes littering the entire room. Hell he had seen an agent who was impaled through the bottom of his chin from the broken glass of the window, the faint gurgling noises coming from him before silence.

You called out to Hank, ushering him to hurry up so the two of you can finally go home. He only stares at the room before looking back at you. You raise an eyebrow before clicking your tongue against the roof of your mouth as you grew more and more impatient with him.

When Hank had gotten back from the raid 2B had sent him, he had gone to his office and mentioned something about you.

“What of them? They got what I needed you two to get me. Leave them be, Hank.” 2BDamned didn’t even bother looking up from his laptop.

He asks 2B where he’s found them only to be met with a sigh.

That was when 2B had explained to Hank who the reader was to the agency and why they were working with them. But all in all, Hank still didn’t care. He was intrigued, yes. But this also meant he had to tolerate another person when working with them.

{DEIMOS & SANFORD}

Deimos and Sanford would probably be next to meet you, but at the HQ of your agency. Something about grabbing a hard drive that contained intel from the previous raid that you had gone to with Hank.

If anything Doc would be the one to send them if he was too busy to even come visit you due to other affairs that needed to be taken care of.

The two of them would probably be skeptical around you, especially Sanford considering he was the more cautious one out of the two. If anything it was what probably kept him and Deimos alive. Though he would have to trust you just enough if Doc was willing to put this much effort in creating an alliance with you and your agency. 

Deimos on the other hand would be more intrigued with you, asking probing questions while trying to get more information out of you. He also seemed to like seeing what made you tick. Not only that, he never got to see what was inside whatever contents Doc wanted him to decrypt. Surely you had something to do with it. 

Though the two would probably warm up to you after a while of coming back and forth to pick up intel and weaponry shipments that were to be made to 2BDamned as per deal for the Anti-AAHW. They’d still warm up to you faster than Hank would considering he still doesn’t trust you nor does he like going on clear out raids with someone.

Deimos would still keep trying to poke and prod at getting more information. 

There was a time he tried to hack into your system only to be met with an error along with the message “Nice try loser :)” 

His pride was definitely hurt along with stringing out a few curse words

Sanford found it hilarious, especially when he had told you right in front of him.

You flash both of them a smile before giving them a shrug and a wink.

“I just have a really good security system.”

Deimos would curse under his breath as Sanford chuckled before patting his back.

“If you guys are actually serious about knowing where I came from, just ask nicely instead of asking invasive ones. Let alone try to hack in my shit…”

Deimos took no hesitation on asking where you came from. Let alone what you did before you ended up becoming a founder for your agency.

“I used to work as a Drill Instructor for the AAHW. Left cause the pay was utter dog shit.” You shrugged.

“Wait wait wait, you worked as a Drill Instructor for the AAHW? How the fuck did I not see you during my time there?!”

“Wait, you were the reason why the Soldats were a pain in the ass before they starting getting sloppy? Holy fuckin shit.”

Least to say the two of them were baffled to find out you of all people were one who trained the Soldats to be inconveniences before the sudden drop in discipline.

Now that I can see it, this wig looks good in the back.

Jinx was great instuctor.

[jazmeanb]

hi! you don't have to respond to this but i just really wanted to thank you for informing those people on that dude who is actually a russian soldier

i understand how it's probably exhausting sometimes but i really appreciate it and im sure other ukrainians do too.

people posting about that dude and roman (?) were kind of one of the main reasons i left tiktok because it's just so wild for me to see those people being thirsted over as if it's normal lol

and again thank you so much i can't explain the relief and appreciation i feel when i see people like you educating others despite the backlash you might receive from their fans

🩷🩷🩷

Heyo (•◡•) /

It was no trouble on my end. I do appreciate your acknowledgement ^^

We're all adults here and we can all seperate our fantasy COD men from real army men who are out fighting and killing real people in Ukraine. I wanna cover that base before I go on.

I assume that some of the people that are thirsting over the first army dude are just not informed on who he actually is. I was in that spot too. I saw a reposted tiktok of him and was like 'Awooga, this guy is huge. What a hunk'. Then went to try and find more vids of him. I saw a thread of him on Twitter. Turns out hes a Russian Instuctor nicknamed Terminator that teaches other russians combat and supports the invasion etc. I had no idea, but glad I researched it and my feelings of him changed. Again. I assume that the people thirsting over him are just unaware and just wanna thirst over A hunky man. I told myself that the next time I see this man on my timeline, that I would leave a comment. This will hopefully allow readers to make an informed decision on how they feel about him after and make the right decision to disengage from any content related to both these people (roman).

Sorry to hear you left tiktok because of this/

I hope I don't get anyone coming for me in the DMs after this. I only want to mess around and think about our blurbos 24/7 -longing sigh

(picture of the guy we're talking about for context. He has army training videos online, training men who will be drafted in the military)

On this thought of Yoga instuctor ari him asking if airhead had done nudez Yoga because it is the best Yoga and you learn fast when youre nude

“You can see it all—you can see what I’m doing, and you can mimic it easier.”

You slip your fingers in the band of your leggings. “But won’t it get cold? We’ll be stretching a lot, and I don’t want to get cold.”

FFXIV Write 2023 Prompt 28: Blunt

(Character: Apple silverberg, Setting (GA and WoL Apple), Expansion (Pre ARR)

Y'rhris Tia was a bit of a dour man, brilliant, by any young arcanists assessment, but a little too moored to formulae and theory than to people. That he was placed in charge of assessments wasn't too much of a stretch, it was rigorous for a reason, no self respecting magical organization wanted graduates repeating the mistakes of the War of the Magi, after all. Being unpersonable was something of an advantage to the position, as being the bearer of bad news came with the job.

He certainly was qualified to do just that, as the young girl took a seat in his office, wracked with nerves, barely able to keep her senses from the fear.

"You've been an interesting case, Miss Silverberg." he said after going through her file for quite a bit of time. "Smart, which tracks, says here you began your studies in Old Sharlayan before they packed it up, though interestingly enough you'd already applied for a transfer here, I suppose you were looking to specialize? I suppose we should be flattered that we were still the premier choice for arcanae studies on the continent."

Apple smiled nervously, maybe this wouldn't be so bad?

"You're brilliant, to be frank. Perfect scores on written exams, your traditional schooling marks have been excellent, you've taken to formulae memorization and theory like a fish to water, to be frank."

He sighed. Apple winced.

"Your practicum marks are horrendous. You took three times longer than your peers to conjour up a basic carbuncle, and even then you were reported to develop aether sickness shortly after and almost feinted. Your spellwork is inconsistent, and you were unable to complete your internship with the Adventurer's Guild as you could not defeat the requisite marks." He looked up from the paperwork. "You know you would have been died without your assigned adventurer, correct? It would have been gruesome."

"I-I.."

He held up his hand. "You are a smart girl, and that is why you know that you will not be able to advance. You have a deficiency of aether and will not be permitted to perform magics of our school. As a student you may be permitted to appeal my decision and an assessment practicum test will be given."

Apple looked down, her eyes flitting about as her thoughts raced.

"Normally i'd leave it at that, but you do have an aptitude for the theory, as I said. If you would like, I can recommend you as an instuctor's aide, a mind like yours would be wasted and you could truly help future stud-"

Apple looked up, eyes stern and defiant, he wasn't expecting such a look from one he judged a timid sort. "I will appeal the decision." Her works were direct, focused, determined.

He paused a moment, then shook his head, "Very well, we have an opening in... hrm... two months, I can pencil you in then?"

"Two months?" She repeated, then nodded. "I'll be ready."

Apple would have to act quickly... but she would indeed be ready.
