i love how both of my special interests, Doctor Who and Tintin (especially the 2011 film) makes me feel like i'm being asked two very different questions: would you rather be out in the open ocean surrounded by deep water or travelling out to distant planets through deep space, and neither of them sound even the slightest bit appealing to me
#doctor who#the adventures of tintin#favourite films#ngl the tintin film triggers my thalassophobia to quite an extent#also seeing tintin brazenly swimming towards the biplane underwater with no equipment makes me go insane#like bro imagine swimming in the open ocean just fine#deep space sounds terrifying only a bit less especially with those massive space objects and planets#free astrophobia and meglophobia too#it's nonetheless fun and thrilling to watch from a distance from the safety of home

Far From You
Pairing: Rowena x reader
Summary: With quarantine having taken its toll on your relationship, you decide to win Rowena back by all means necessary.
A/N: Huge thanks to my awesome friend @midnightsilver for the prompt.
Editor: @miss-moon-guardian
*****
Rowena was in a bad mood. Which wasn't a novelty; grumpiness seemed to be one of the woman's default settings, right alongside whining and attention-craving. However, the imposed quarantine seemed to have taken its toll on her, her regular irritation rising to levels that were, at best, barely tolerable, and, at worst, made you want to go outside and hug the sickest-looking stranger in order to get some time away from her.
It wasn't always that bad, though. For the most part, she just sat in silence and huffed and rolled her eyes at random things. That was, when she wasn't cursing out the politicians and the irresponsible people who'd made these safety measures necessary on the TV — a few times quite literally cursing them, eyes sparkling violet as she willed her magic to strike.
To say she was handling it badly would be an understatement.
Rowena was a social creature. As happy as being home with you made her, she loved to travel. Loved to explore different places, experience the world, get to know it. Being holed up in a house was worse than prison. At least prison could be escaped from without fear of catching a nasty disease.
It wasn't that she was afraid of dying. The devil himself hadn't managed to kill her, and neither would a measly virus. But she wasn't too thrilled about the possibility of getting sick. So she stayed home. Like a good little girl, she obeyed the officials' rules and holed up, leaving only when it was her turn to get the groceries.
Though she tried not to let it get to her, the changes in her temper made it clear she wasn't handling the situation well.
Not that you were any better. You weren't an adventurer like her, but you missed your freedom. Missed walking the streets, the sun bathing your hair, Rowena's hand in yours, a wordless but firm statement that she was yours. Missed heading to different restaurants, or ordering delicious food home. Missed Rowena randomly telling you to pack your bags, a promise of a new, exciting adventure sparkling in her eyes.
But, most of all, you missed Rowena. You were living in the same house, yet, as of late, it had started to feel like you were strangers. You still talked, but it was strained, distant. Like two random passengers on a plane discussing the weather to pass the time. You barely touched each other. When you kissed, it was pecks on the cheeks and mouth — solely initiated by you. An empty, passionless habit. A learned routine rather than a loving gesture. And sex… you'd engaged in it twice since the quarantine had taken place, and it, too, lacked its usual passion.
The quarantine had taken its toll on your relationship.
Today, sick of the distance, of the constant cold amidst the warm house, you decided to fight it. Decided to fight for your relationship. Things were horrible, not just in the United States but everywhere in the world, but that didn't mean your life had to be the same way. You could still live. You could still be the couple you'd worked hard to become.
What you had was worth fighting for.
So when Rowena went on another tirade against politicians as she watched the morning news (looking quite ready to throw her steaming mug of tea at the TV), you said in your most irritated tone, "Okay, I get it — you hate them. No need to get so worked up. It's not like they give a damn."
The look she shot you had to have killed before. You would have been frightened had you not known her the way you did. She might have been a serious threat, but when it came to you, she was a puppy. A cute, glare-y puppy who finally paid attention to you after days of nothing.
You plopped down next to her on the couch, set your mug next to hers, and shot her your brightest smile. "Hi!"
Rowena rolled her eyes in the fashion of a trained theater actress. Over the top, dramatic, her style to a T. She picked up a large grimoire that was resting next to her and spread it open on her lap. It was one of her newer books, acquired mere days before the quarantine had taken place. You'd looked forwards to exploring them with her, learning new things, asking questions she would pretend to be annoyed at but would answer with the ferocity of a teacher eager to spread her knowledge. Just like old times.
Instead, she'd taken to reading the books on her own. Using them as a distraction from the awful things happening in the world.
A distraction from you.
You tried not to let it get to you too much, but it stung. Your heart clenched with pain, with ache that ran deep to your core. Like poison coursing through your veins, burning you up from the inside one little bit at a time. It was as though she'd grown bored of you. As if being holed up with you inside a tiny house had made her resent you. As if it made her realize living with you wasn't the fairy tale you thought of it as and she couldn't wait to get away from you.
You're overreacting, you told yourself. But, even as you kept repeating to yourself that this was just a temporary thing, that it was stress, a sliver of a doubt still nibbled at you. What if Rowena didn't want you anymore? What if she'd had enough?
You still wanted her, you reminded yourself. You missed her. You loved her. And you would do anything to get things back to the way they used to be.
You leaned your head on her shoulder, which earned you another glare. You ignored it, eyes darting to the yellowed pages of the book that must have been older than the two of you combined. Intricate illustrations adorned the paper; those of flowers, of herbs you didn't recognize. They were surrounded by words in a foreign language. Written in an elegant handwriting, the writing gave off a feeling of class, of beauty. Whoever the witch that had written it was, she had obviously been a lady.
"What's it say?" you asked, feigning nonchalance. Heart, all the while, beating wildly, begging for a response.
Rowena eyed you for a few moments before turning her attention back to the book. "It's potion recipes." Matter-of-fact. Straight to the point. No trace of the warmth that usually accompanied her words.
On the bright side, she responded. It was something. Not much, but a start nonetheless.
"What language is it?"
"Italian."
"The book looks pretty old. When was it written?"
"The 1500s."
"Is the witch who wrote it still alive?"
"No."
"It's really cool that you can understand it."
No response. Not even the usual smile at the compliment. As if you hadn't said a word.
Your heart sank, but, insistent to complete this mission you'd tasked yourself with, you sucked in a breath and pecked her on the cheek.
Rowena flinched as if burned and shot you a startled glance. You smiled innocently. Sighing, she went back to her book.
Another failed attempt. Was there anything you could do to get her back? To get her out of her glum state? To make her your girl again for, as of late, it seemed she was distant from you?
To your knowledge, you hadn't done anything wrong. There had been no arguments — not even the pretend, teasy ones the two of you sometimes got into. You hadn't broken anything hers, or messed up any spells. It was as if she'd just decided she wasn't in the mood for you, that you were too much for her to handle. So she ignored you.
As much as it hurt, you weren't going to let her get away with it. You couldn't. Not after everything the two of you had gone through. You'd survived Lucifer. You'd survived her flashbacks and nightmares. And you would survive this.
Desperate, tears pricking at your eyes as pain squeezed at your heart, dove razor-sharp daggers into it over and over like a merciless killer, you leaned down to Rowena's shoulder and pressed a kiss into it. It was a small kiss, soft as silk, a swift, brief brush of lips against skin. A promise of more, so much more — all she had to do was want it.
Rowena stiffened. You laid another kiss to her shoulder, then another, trailing all the way up to her neck. Her skin was soft, incredibly tender; as expected, a small moan escaped her as soon as you reached her most sensitive place. She could be as mad as she wanted, as confused, as indifferent — the neck kiss always did her in.
Her greatest weakness, even in these difficult times.
"Y/N, what are you doing?" There was a hesitation in her voice, mixed in with the cold that coated her words.
"Having some fun," you said, then kissed her again. And again and again and again, and ran your tongue over a tiny spot just below her ear as if she were the most delicious meal, and then kissed it, and around it. A little game you couldn't get enough of.
"Why?"
Because she wasn't paying attention to you. Because you were lonely. Because she was grumpy. Because you both needed a little distraction from the horrors of the world, and what better way to get it than some intimate fun?
"Why not?" you countered. Dared her to defy you. To push you away as she had for days.
Your teeth grazed the sensitive skin, the milky white flushing red, soon to be a beautiful, rich purple. The kind of mark you hadn't left in what felt like ages. Rowena gasped at the sensation, satisfied despite pretending otherwise. Her vein throbbed underneath your mouth, heart racing, blood running hot.
You couldn't resist a smile. There we go. That was your girl! Goodness, you missed her!
The magic was short-lasted, though, as a moment later Rowena pulled away, looked you straight in the eyes, and, serious as a heart attack, said, "Have you gone bloody mental?"
You sighed. Inhaled. Exhaled. Did your best to remain calm because your thoughts were screaming and you wanted nothing more than to throw a tantrum and then curl up and cry your eyes out.
"Maybe I just wanna spend some time with my girlfriend!"
She looked at you as if you'd suddenly grown a second head. "We're together all the time!"
You used to be. Not lately.
"We would be if you weren't ignoring me." If she could play dirty, so could you.
"That's ridiculous!" she argued. Defensive. Second-guessing, but she wouldn't admit it. She was never one to admit she was wrong.
You'd expected it, really. Had prepared yourself for the blow. That didn't make it hurt any less. Throwing your arms up, you got to your feet and started pacing. Restless, nerves short circuiting, heart pounding like a hammer against your ribcage. Relax, you told yourself. Just relax. You'd wanted this fight. You couldn't give up now.
You looked her in the eyes with all the intensity, all the sincerity you could manage. Made sure she knew you meant business. "You barely even look at me. All you do is scream at the TV and read your books." Her outbursts were fun at first, entertaining. Now, they were exhausting. There were only so many times you could laugh at the very same curse words, even if they were Scottish. "It's like you're sick of living with me."
A tear slid down your cheek; you wiped it with the back of your hand and sniffled. Willed the rest of the tears to stay back, to not betray you at a time like this. You hated arguing with Rowena. You were used to peace in your relationship, to hugs and kisses and love and laughter and everything happy and bright. Whenever you argued, it felt like a piece of you was being torn apart. As if, if you went too far, if you pushed too many buttons, she would decide she'd had enough and, just like back in her wicked days, she would turn her back and leave.
You knew it was silly. Arguments were part of a relationship; they were healthy, so long as they were nuanced. But a part of you couldn't let go of the notion that fights would be the end of everything you knew and loved. It terrified you to the bone, and with the fear came more tears, and before you could try to stop them again, you were crying.
"Darling, that's not—I could never get sick of being with you," Rowena said. "I don't know what you think is happening, but, I can assure you, I've no ill feelings toward you." She flashed a smile, one of those bright, honest ones. "I promise."
You swallowed a lump that had popped in your throat. Gulped in a large breath. "You're always in a bad mood. And you never pay attention to me." You realized you come across as a needy, whiny child, but it was the truth. You felt ignored. You were ignored. Your usually attentive girlfriend had suddenly turned you a cold shoulder. "You don't kiss me back anymore. Don't even get me started on sex. Even when you sleep, you turn your back on me."
She pondered on your words. Twisted and turned them in her head, thought them through. When she spoke, her words were laced with regret, "Y/N, you've got this all wrong." She stood up and reached for your hand, tiny fingers wrapping around yours. The kind of touch you were yearning for, that you were missing. "I suppose I have been a tad distant these days. Not because of you. You haven't done anything wrong."
You allowed yourself to breathe out with ease.
"It's this house. I'm sick of being locked inside all the time," she elaborated. "It's starting to feel like a prison. I miss our wee trips." She pouted. "I miss dinners in my favourite restaurant."
You chuckled.
Rowena smiled. "I miss our walks. Going out for groceries hardly counts as going out."
"I miss it, too," you admitted. "All of it." But, most of all… "I miss you."
"I'm… sorry." It was hard for her to say the words. Two years into her redemption, and she still struggled with apologizing. "I shouldn't have taken it out on you. I love you, you silly girl. I could never tire of you. Even when you interrupt my reading."
She accompanied that with a small glare, a feigned one.
You rolled your eyes. "Gotta get your attention somehow."
"You've got my full attention now." Her eyes fell to your lips. Trailed down the length of your body. She was so close; you could smell her skin, almost taste her lips. "What is it you would like to do with it?"
"I can think of a few things."
You kissed her, deep and hard. She reciprocated instantly, drawing you in, arms snaking around you to pull you right where she wanted you. She tasted of promise and love and everything sweet, everything you were missing. You melted into her as she took lead, her tongue exploring your mouth, tasting it, marking it. Making it clear that it was her territory, her ownership.
Goodness, you missed this!
Parting for breath, you kissed her again, then pushed her on the couch a tad rougher than necessary and straddled her. Your mouth was back on her neck, kissing the previously marked spot. Licking and biting and sucking, leaving a trail of blossoming bruises in your wake.
"That's it, darling," Rowena moaned in her thick accent, which only made you got at it harder.
Maybe the quarantine wouldn't be so bad after all.

Exactly how to Get Your Dog Used to Water
Isn’t it funny exactly how you can’t obtain some dogs out of the water, yet others put on the brakes when they see the tiniest pool? I have experience with both and also today I’ll let you understand how to get your pet made use of to water. I’ll likewise point out a couple of suggestions for a successful pet bathroom at home.
I’m Barbara as well as I write on a regular basis for That Mutt. I’m a blogger, raw feeder and also pet pedestrian as well as preserve the blog K9sOverCoffee.com.
My late Boxer mix Missy liked the water. She was just among those canines that was birthed a water rat! She swam in the ocean, in lakes, pools, as well as loved “assaulting” the water that appeared of lawn sprinklers.
Her brother Buzz that came from the precise very same litter as her wound up taking pleasure in the water too, but he needed a little convincing and his favored plaything to go in with him.
My current puppy Wally, a Feist mix, didn’t desire anything to do with water in any way when I first adopted him. When I took him to the ocean, he was the type that had actually stroll around a puddle as well as put on the brakes. Currently he’s very slowly finding out that m a y b e water is not that poor after all, although I doubt that he’ll ever be as fanatic concerning water as Missy was.
Wally could not obtain
far from the ocean quick sufficient Why some pets don’t such as the water For starters, allow’s look at why some pets do not like being in the water. There are a few possibilities, as well as the most
typical ones are the following: Fear of the unknown. Dogs do not immediately recognize what water is, so if they’re not effectively mingled to it as young puppies, they may approach it very carefully. This is particularly true if the water is deep and also they can’t see all-time low or if the water is loud like waves or a river running.Not a water reproduce. Some dogs have a love for water in their genetics and also some don’t! Those who do are usually hunting pets that are bred to recover waterfowl like Retrievers( Golden, Labrador, Chesapeake Bay), Spanish Water pet dogs, Portuguese Water canines, Irish Water spaniels, and so on. Trauma. Less likely, but perhaps the dog mistakenly
fell under a pool as well as couldn’t come back out on his very own. Or possibly he obtained assaulted by another canine at the dog coastline. Remember” terrible”experiences to a canine can likewise seem very light to us. Possibly ocean waves terrified the pet dog as a young puppy, for example.Did you recognize? Dogs use their tails to steer and also balance themselves in the water, so dogs with docked tails havea much more challenging time swimming than those whose tail is undamaged.< img src="https://www.thatmutt.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/My-oceangoing-Lab.jpg "alt course ="wp-image-21279 lazy "data-sizes="(max-width: 652px

kinds of open water! Benefits of being in the water for canines It’s a downer that some pets do not enjoy the water, since they can benefit a great deal from remaining in it:
Water maintains them trendy in the summer season warm. One of the most evident benefit is that water is extremely rejuvenating on warm summer days. Sometimes, it’s the only means dogs can stay somewhat comfy outside.
It’s a reduced influence workout. That makes it great for pups whose joints are still establishing, as well as also for older pets that suffer from arthritis.Makes for an excellent exercise. Swimming as well as playing in the water is a wonderful means of working out as well as staying fit. The best water sport for pets is dock diving!Water has healing high qualities. Many pet recovery centers utilize underwater treadmills to assist canines reclaim their flexibility after they had surgery. It can likewise help relieve joint inflammation. Present your pet slowly to the idea of water You decide to go about it, patience is key when you work on obtaining your reluctantpet made use of to water
. Prior to you ask him to dip any paws into it, invest some time with him near it. The suggestion is to get him made use of to the idea of water. Start by going with strolls on the coastline, around a regional lake or a fountain. Do this without getting as well close to the water source itself. Additionally, play bring, yank, or whatever video game your pet likes when you’re close to a body of water. You can also
feed him alongside water if that works for you. Lindsay as well as Remy Idea: If he’s scared of the noise of the water fountain or the sea, you can reveal him to lakes and also rivers initially since they’re not as loud. If you wish to be aggressive concerning desensitizing him, attempt playing some ocean or water fountain appears in your home while giving him high value treats or a preferred (squeaky) toy. It’ll instruct him that good, enjoyable things are happening when he listens to the noise. You can discover a selection of those sounds on YouTube.
When you’ve been close to the water with your pet dog a couple of times and also he’s not placing on the brakes or acting terrified, take it up a notch.
Walk closer to the sea, lake, pool, fountain or river and allow your puppy smell it.
Don’t put any stress on your chain to make it as hassle-free an experience as feasible. Commend your pet dog for being such a great young boy or excellent girl!
.?.!! Wally walking beside a small fish pond in an art park I tried this method with Wally and also we’ve made truly great progression. I kept walking him around lakesand fish ponds, as well as
he’s now lastly comfy adequate to stand and also stroll in lakes. What’s really aided him is the consistent exposure to water over the course of several months. That along with seeing ducks and geese swimming in the water, along with various other pet dogs that hang around in the water worked for Wally. Nonetheless, I still haven’t been able to persuade him to swim. That might take a few even more months, however it’s ALRIGHT. I’m not in a thrill.
Slowly presenting Wally to the concept of water Signs that your pet dog is not enjoying around/in water are: If you see these signs in your puppy, you’re too near the water: A put tail Stiff body stance Drinking Too much panting
Refusing to relocate towards the water Increase the distance in between
the water as well as your canine
and also be a little more person.
Bear in mind, it takes some pets much longer to get utilized to water than it does others. Make use of the right incentive for your pet dog Remy is encouraged by a challenge! It’s all regarding making the actual call with it an enjoyable experience when you’ve successfully slipped closer to the water. Undoubtedly every pet dog has their very own idea of what’s enjoyable as well as what isn’t, so this method will certainly vary from dog to pet. That’s why it’s crucial to make use of the ideal incentive for
your pup. This can be: Food or deals with. Toss some in the water as well as have your dog bob for them.Toys. Buoyant playthings like bumpers or frisbees stay afloat as well as are the best plaything to go after in the water.Yourself. Use this to your advantage and also go in initially if your canine trust funds you as well as follows you anywhere. A
specialist. Many family pet health spas and/or resorts have indoor dog pools with trained team who’ll educate your canine exactly how to
swim in their pools. One more pet dog that likes to swim. Canines tend to replicate other dogs, so if among
his friends likes to swim, establish a doggy playdate by the water. Ducks or water birds if he’s right into chasing them.
If your dog suches as a good chase, his hunting impulses may just defeat his reluctance of entering water.
My previous pet dog Buzz learned exactly how to swim at a falls on a walking on a lengthy chain. His was watching his sister Missy have a blast and swim, yet still wasn’t too certain about it himself. Considering that he was currently standing in the water as well as it covered his belly, he obtained a mild push from behind and also voilà– Buzz was swimming! I likewise tossed his sphere in to sweeten the deal even better, which was that. Ever since then, Buzz ranand swam after any kind of toy I would certainly toss into the water. Cooling off with Buzz in a river on a hike Missy(left)as well as Buzz(appropriate)at an indoor dog pool Water safety ideas for your canine Once your dog is comfortable in the water, it’s crucial to maintain him risk-free while
he’s in it too, specifically if he’s not the best swimmer
. Devices I warmly recommend are life vests that include a deal with as well as added lengthy pet chains. If necessary, the life vest maintains your dog afloat and also the deal with makes it a lot less complicated for you to raise your dog in as well as out of the water. This can really be available in handy when you’re on a boat with your dog . Extra long dog leashesgive your dog
a lot of flexibility to have fun in the water, however they leave you in control of exactly how much as well as where your canine can enter the water. Be conscious of where you let your canine swim as well as drink. There are plants as well as animals that can be frustrating at best and also dangerous at worst. One of the most unsafe ones are blue environment-friendly algae in addition to water serpents and also alligators.
It’s a great rule of thumb not to let your canine consume alcohol out of stationary, non-flowing bodies of water as well as to avoid those with eco-friendly surface areas that appear like pea soup or environment-friendly paint. That’s blue environment-friendly algae. Make certain to provide your pet dog fresh, bottledwater
that you bring along on your swimming journeys. Some pet dogs like to consume alcohol directly out of the container, however it’s most convenient to pour some into a retractable water dish. I such as the ones from Mighty
Paw. Kayak training with my pup Kayaking is a fun activity
that doesn’t necessarily entail contact with water. That’s unless your kayak begins to leak of course, or your dog decides to jump into the water after all. Yet in all seriousness, I began getting Wally used to our kayak since it doesn’t require him to spend whenever in the water if he truly doesn’t feel like it. For now, I’ve presented him to the kayak on dry land in the house. In our garage, to
be extra exact since that’s where we keep it. Wally gave it some good smells as well as consumed some treats that I strategically positioned on and also into it. He’s a fool for food and deals with, so I always utilize this technique in my favor to get him utilized to new things. Introducing Wally to the Kayak I then mosted likely to sit in the kayak and invited him to follow me. He had no arguments as well as jumped right in. That was very easy! I’ll duplicate this workout a number of times prior to taking Wally and also the Kayak
out on the lake as well as will report back with an upgrade on exactly how points went! Tips for doggie bath time OK, currently allow’s talk a little about
splashy time at home! Your puppy may extremely well need a bath after he went swimming. Right here are my tips for obtaining your pet used to your bathtub: That Mutt Ace tolerated baths, great young boy! Present the bathtub without water initially. Utilize it as a hiding place during a video game of hide as well as look for, or place some treats or a preferred plaything into it.Bathe him after a long stroll or walking when he’s tired. He’ll be a lot less most likely to set up a fight.Use treats during bathroom time. They’re a great incentive, however select high value deals with instead of dull cookies. Rub some peanut butter on the shower walls. It’s an excellent
diversion and a motivatorto “endure “bath time.Ask a member of the family or close friend for help. They can hold your puppy while you lather him up or vice versa.Some dogs are
beyond persistent, so if your canine fits into that category and also keeps putting up a fight come bath time, schedule a professional dog bathroom with a pet dog groomer. This is additionally a hassle-free choice when your dog’s had a number of muddy fun at the dog park!< img src ="https://www.thatmutt.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ThatMutt.com-How-to-get-your-dog-used-to-water.jpg "alt=" How to get your canine

That along with seeing ducks and geese swimming in the water, along with various other pet dogs that hang around in the water worked for Wally. Nonetheless, I still haven’t been able to persuade him to swim. That might take a few even more months, however it’s ALRIGHT. I’m not in a thrill.

For now, I’ve presented him to the kayak on dry land in the house. In our garage, to
be extra exact since that’s where we keep it. Wally gave it some good smells as well as consumed some treats that I strategically positioned on and also into it. He’s a fool for food and deals with, so I always utilize this technique in my favor to get him utilized to new things. Introducing Wally to the Kayak I then mosted likely to sit in the kayak and invited him to follow me. He had no arguments as well as jumped right in. That was very easy! I’ll duplicate this workout a number of times prior to taking Wally and also the Kayak
out on the lake as well as will report back with an upgrade on exactly how points went! Tips for doggie bath time OK, currently allow’s talk a little about

He’ll be a lot less most likely to set up a fight.Use treats during bathroom time. They’re a great incentive, however select high value deals with instead of dull cookies.
