I should make a tutorial video on a thing that is extremely niche but very useful.. I have an ezilock litter box for my cats, it has a tray underneath for a pee pad so it keeps the urine smell contained, but with two cats it fills up real fast.

Sooo you put one pee pad in, then you get a other one and you cut the plastic lining around the edges, and carefully pull off the plastic backing, be careful though because sometimes it's quite powdery and I genuinely don't know what chemicals they use.

Anyway then you put the "powdery" side down on top of the first pee pad and itasts atleast twice as long, and the urine crystallises!

I have no idea if it's safe atm, it's safe for the cats because it's contained but idk how safe it is to handle, but so far I've had no problems and it's a game changer for me and my mum since we're disabled and can't always keep on top of it.

Terra scura, uva bianca. Terra bianca, uva nera. Parlare del territorio è come parlare di casa. La natura ci ha donato un terreno composto da basalto di origine vulcanica, scuro e che profuma d'estate. Secondo i sistemi di agricoltura locale, i viticoltori hanno iniziato a piantare la vite, rendendo Monteforte d'Alpone il Comune con la più ampia superficie vitata d'Italia. Qui nasce il vino Soave. Nei terreni bianchi rosacei di sedimento calcareo del comune di Montecchia di Crosara, le colline rocciose sono state trasformate in docili vigneti a bacca rossa. Durante l'invaiatura offrono uno spettacolo autentico, in cui prende vita il Valpolicella. Siamo persone unite dalla passione per la vigna e il suo territorio. Siamo nati nel marzo del 1952, quando un gruppo di viticoltori decisi a cooperare per il sostentamento di un'area, fondarono la Cantina Sociale di Monteforte d'Alpone. Contiamo 600 aziende viticole associate e ci troviamo nell'Est veronese, al confine con la provincia di Vicenza. Affondiamo le nostre radici nelle principali denominazioni storiche della provincia di Verona, come il Soave e il Valpolicella. Rappresentiamo il territorio dove siamo nati: terreni di origine vulcanica, scuri con riflessi rossastri e argentei, semplici e duri, che profumano di terra essiccata al sole e di tradizioni. @cantinadimonteforte #monteforte #cantinadimonteforte #valpolicella #verona #veneto #amarone #soave #vino #vinoitaliano #vinoveneto #venetodoc #vinodoc #wine #itasting (presso Cantina di Monteforte) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrdCmw2HYEP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=781j6dj48ofr

KBA::. It Takes A Strong Team Part 2

Chapter preview: First day as team leader, Scarlet is stressing out. Will she stay calm or boil over? Petie and Rose © the_lost_one -----

It Takes A Strong Team Part 2 Our full figured Darmanitan was sitting in class, tapping her notebook with her pencil. The teacher was speaking but she wasn’t taking notes. She had something else on her mind. Preferably the fact that she was now in a team. Not only that, but she was assigned to be the team leader of this unorthodox team. And that’s not all! The teacher, who tricked them into making this team, had already scheduled a match within two weeks against Team Indigo. Such a small amount of time to adjust to all this. “Ms. Vatra, pay attention in my class!” shouted her raichu teacher. “S-sorry!” she stuttered as she wrote down on her notebook from the lessons. She sighed again as her thoughts drifted back to her team. She knew little about them and she has no idea how exactly to train them. Their first meeting wasn’t all that great. Infact, it was bad! She would need to know how they battle, so maybe they have a chance to beat their opponent. Thankfully, Mrs. Acquas had set up their schedule to use the arena until that day comes. So there won’t be those misunderstandings again. Her train of thought was interrupted when a spark jolted from her desk. “Do I need to repeat myself Ms Vatra?!” “N-No sir! Sorry Mr. Raikiri!” ***** Scarlet sighed as she stood in front of the entrance of the arena. School has ended and it's now time for the first training. Training with four girls she doesn’t even know. She took a deep breath and walked right in. The rest of the team was sitting in a circle, Emma being the only one in a chair. The darmanitan took a seat in front of them. “What up leader!” Riley greeted, Emma scowling after hearing that. “O-okay….” Scarlet muttered, “Well….how about we start with names? My name is Scarlet Vatra”. She motioned to Sadie on her left, going clockwise. “Mine’s Sadie Kakutasu” “Violet Lutka. Great to meet you!” “....Emma Marée” “Riley Escova! Happy to be here. Very happy!” Our smeargle was looking around her teammates….well...her teammates’ noticeable features. She grinned more, tail wagging behind her. “...ooookay...I think for starters, we should first know how we battle. That way I can put together some training regimen that best works for you” Emma rolled her eyes as Sadie spoke first. “Well, I don’t have a certain way besides countering anyone using items” she said, “What I do is use my Fling move to do do some damage with my Lava Cookies. It’s always silly to see their reaction. I then use Switcheroo, taking any items that have on them. Sometimes, they just give up, afraid I would use Fling on what I just took”. Sadie smiled happily as she thinks back to those who gave up when she held their Dragon Fangs or Hard Stone. “Mine isn’t really anything special” Violet said, “My species aren’t known for their speed. So, I always start with Trick Room so I can get the upper hand”. “I don’t really have a strategy” Riley said, “I just tend to kick butt with the moves I learn through Sketch. I DO use combo moves so there’s that” “Alright” Scarlet said, “What about you umm...Emma”. The empoleon scoffed as she looked to her. “If you must know, I fight while making sure I have Aqua Ring on me. I fight longer if I do so, thus I outlast my opponents” she lifted her head high, flicking her hair back, “Besides that, I fight with elegant grace. I have yet to be beaten in the tournaments I attend”. “Okay then….well. I think that the way we can train is-” “Just forget about it. We’re not gonna beat this Team Indigo with you in charge”. “And what’s that suppose to mean?” Scarlet and Emma glared at each other, the others worried that they are about to throw down. “Have you ever entered in a battle tournament? Have you ever trained to be a battler?” Emma asked her. “Well no…” “Have you ever thought about being a team leader?” “No. I…” “Do you think you can get this random team ready to face one who’s probably worked together for years?” “I don’t know okay?!” Scarlet shouted as she stood up, “But I was assign to be team leader so you...you better listen to what I say?!” “You shouldn’t even be the damn leader!” Emma shouted back, standing up as well. This time, Sadie and Violet quickly got up. Violet went behind Scarlet and held her shoulders as Sadie tried to keep Emma back. “Well maybe I didn’t plan it, but…” “But what!? You don’t know what the hell you are doing?!” “Girls please calm down!” Sadie said. Behind the darmanitan, Violet’s lips seemed to quiver, her gaze going to one certain spot of Scarlet. Sadie noticed this and a look of worry plastered on her face. “Violet, focus!” “I….am...trying” Violet muttered as she shut her eyes. She opened them abruptly and then….groped Scarlet’s huge breasts from behind. Scarlet squealed out, a heavy blush on her face. Sadie facepalmed as Emma looked in confusion. Riley, well she was doodling quickly inside her sketchbook as Violet rubbed those orbs. “THAT’S IT!” Scarlet shouted, breaking away from the Banette. “I’m going! I don’t give a damn anymore! You girls are on your own!” She stomped her way out, slamming the door behind her. Violet’s head hung low, her shoulders slumped. “Oooh...can’t believe I did that...again” she muttered. ***** “Who does that no good, thick headed, pompous, egotistical jerk think she is?!” Scarlet grumbled, practically stomping her way through the halls to get away. She huffed and growled, trying to stay calm. But just...why did it have to be her to be picked as the team leader? If that Empoleon thinks she can do better, why didn’t Mrs. Acquas pick her than? “Maybe...I’m just not fit to be leader”. Scarlet stomped around a corner before she suddenly stopped cold, having bumped into something there. A wall? No it can’t be. Whatever her face landed on was soft, REAL soft. She reached up, feeling up the very soft surface which she ran into. It was even more soft around her head. “....Are you going to pull out at any time?” the wall spoke, making Scarlet gasp out and stepped back. She took a good look of said wall before her. It was a large Scolipede woman, very large. Standing almost 8 feet tall, she easily towered over Scarlet, who had to crane her head back in order to even see her face pass those bosoms. “I’m so sorry!” “It wasn’t ill intent” the scolipede said, “No need to apologize. But you seem to be having some trouble”. Scarlet let out a loud irritating sigh and rubbed her head. “Gyah! I am having a difficult time with my damn team, if we can even call ourselves that!” she ranted, “...I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be talking about this to a stranger. My name’s Scarlet. Scarlet Vatra” She extended her hand out, which the amazonian student shook. “I am Ainia Harmonia” she greeted, “I am guessing you are the team leader?” “Not by choice” she sighed, taking a seat on the hallway bench, placing her hands under her head. “I got stuck with these girls, one who has absolutely no respect for me whatsoever! And there’s another one who is...grabby. Another who always give her excuses! And another….well I don’t know what but I do know she keeps getting distracted by something!” “...I see…” Ainia said, taking a seat next her, which made the bench creak from her mass. Way she sat was on her side, half her centaur body on the bench while the other supported her on the floor. “...Sorry…” Scarlet said, “I...I don’t think you want to hear a problem from someone you just met”. “There’s no problem” she said, “Sounds very troubling” Scarlet sighed once again, rubbing her head in frustration. “I don’t know what to do! I don’t know how to get this team going?!” she said, “Maybe...maybe I just can’t be a team leader”. “Well...have you been a leader long?” Ainia asked. “...No. I never been team leader of anything really. Not even at school projects” Scarlet got up to her feet, head hanging low. “Maybe...no...I am definitely not fit to be a team leader”. Ainia stood up, the bench creeking once again as she pats the Darmanitan’s back. “Are you really quitting so soon?” Ainia spoke, “Are you going to give it up so easily?” Scarlet looked to her, seeing the Scolipede give a comforting look. “Things like this are never easy. You have to work hard and keep at it, even if things don't go right for you the first time... or the second or third time”. Words were soaked into Scarlet’s psyche, words of wisdom from some random mon. “See this through to the end. Do not focus what you can do now, but what can do in the long run”. Oh Darmanitan crossed her arms, taking a deep breath as the words inked into her. “....You’re right” she said, “It’s only the first day and here I am, thinking I don’t fit into the leader role”. “Quiting after the first step is a pretty unwise”. Scarlet stood tall, smiling after taking a deep breath. “I can't just give up! I got to see this through!” She turned to Ainia and gave her a quick hug before pulling away. “Thank you for the advice. Where did you learn those kinds of lessons?” "Trying to find bras that fit after I evolved last year." Ainia said. ***** Scarlet once again stood in front of the arena door. She craned her neck twice before she opened the door. Inside, Sadie was talking to Emma, who had her arms crossed and averted her gaze to the Cacturne. “You need to behave yourself for at least until the first match!” she said to her, “Or am I going to have to talk to Mrs. Acquas about this?” Emma gulped loudly as her body shivered. “Okay okay no need to be so rash” Emma said, “I’ll go along with this damn training method”. The empoleon took a seat, her fins crossed. Scarlet let out a smile seeing that as she walked to them. “Welcome back” Violet said, “I’m...sorry about earlier. It’s a habit I’m trying to kick...and failing it seems”. “No no it’s fine” Scarlet said, though a blush did appear through her already red face, “I’m sorry for walking out on you girls. It wasn’t very….leader like” “Hey, it’s alright!” Riley spoke up, “We all have those days. I mean, you got put into a spot with a lot of responsibility. Can be overwhelming”. “And the match in two weeks don’t help” Sadie said. Scarlet looked to them all and smiled at each and everyone of them. “It’s overwhelming for all of us. Heck, we don’t even know much about each other”. A thought began to race through her head. Training won’t go as well as it should if the teams are complete strangers. Maybe….it’s time these strangers start talking. “Okay, how about for today we skip the physical training and...get to know each other? Tell each other a bit about ourselves”. Riley, Sadie, and Violet nodded in unison. Emma simply rolled her eyes, sitting up straight from her seat. Scarlet was the first one to speak. She told them about her interests in cooking and how she got it from her dad. She also told them that her family had just moved here to Kanto after her dad was given a new job at a fancy resturaunt. Her little brother, Sorell, was brought up as well. Scarlet mentioned different stories with her and Sorrell, such as them baking muffins together. Emma told the team about her family, how they run one of the leading trading corporations. She was homeschooled for most of her life, which she had bragged about being top in her studies and physical training. She used to attend a school over at Sinnoh, when someone tried to take over her family’s company. After it was all settled though did her family brought her to Kanto to join KBA, as it was tradition for her family to do so, even if it was late. Violet spoke about her interests in singing. How she wants to be a singer and do tours around the world. She always liked seeing people smile with her voice and how she was put into school so she can work on something to fall back on. Her parents believe she can achieve her dream, but they want her to be sure she’ll have something if something goes wrong. She apologized to Scarlet again about the incident from earlier. She explained how since she evolved, she can’t help but feel things that are warm and soft. “I-it’s okay” Scarlet told her, “Just...give me a warning next time”. Sadie’s family runs a spa resort over at Viridian Forest. It officially opened a few months ago and since then business was good. She’s been in the academy for about a year, same as Violet. They were lab partners and Violet was stressing over it, saying she needed to pass so she could bump up her bad grade. She helped her relax and ever since they passed the project, they became friends. She also told them about her….situation involving her Water Absorb ability. “....hot…” Riley muttered with a goofy smile on her face. “What was that?” Sadie asked. “No nothing! My turn!” The smeargle went on about her family. Her father worked at a cracker factory, which helped their family financially, and how her mother was actually a wrestler before she decided to settle down with her dad. She also explained about her love of art, drawing things like fantasy. Riley didn’t told them about her habit of drawing females in sexy outfits and lewd situations or how she genderbends males into sexy outfits and lewd situations. “Well, this is going well” Scarlet said, “Now, I think while knowing each other is good, we also need to do things together” “Oh? Like what?” Sadie asked. “Simple. We all go and get pizza. Don’t worry, it’ll be my treat” They all smiled as they got up to their feet. “I hope you girls like sausage on your pizza. I know a great place who has great sausage toppings”. “Sausage?” Emma spoke up, “Please. Why on earth would you want something to barbaric as clumps of meat just dropped on top of the cheese? I say we get pepperoni. Gently sliced into thin pieces and set in a way that covers every spot”. “Pepperoni? But that’s so plain! And you got to try this pizzerias sausage!” “I will not! We’re getting pepperoni!” “Sausage!” “PEPPERONI!” SAUSAGE!” “Uuuuggghh!!!” Sadie growled out, “Is there anything you two can agree one?!” Just then, the door to the arena slide open. Out came a small figure, a bit pudgy, as it waddled over to the girls. It was a little teddiursa, looking up to the ladies. “Um, excuse me” he spoke out, “M-me and my sister has this arena for the hour. A-are you finished?” The room fell silent as they all just looked to the bear. ***** “Sorry about the wait Petie” a kangaskahn said as she went through the arena door, “But I got the umm….” The newcomer stopped in her tracks as she sees Scarlet and Emma, who are currently sandwiching the teddy pokemon between them as they cooed and snuggled him. “Awww!! Look at his adorable cheeks!” “I just want to eat him up!” “AWWWWWW!!” they both said in unison. The teddiursa was letting out a whimper as Emma and Scarlet rubbed his cheeks. “Help meeee” he called to the kangaskahn.

People are saying the ones who organized Gwyn week "stole" the dates from Elain week, but if I remember correctly, wasn't the one last year April 1st-7th...? And the dates for Gwyn week this year are April 17th-23rd. Idk if they're lying or trying to find a bullshit reason to attack the organizer, but either way it isn't cool. (Also if they were going to host it the same week as Gwyn's, they should've made an announcement lol.)

You are correct! In fact I dug it up searching through my blog. So there you have it:

Before I get to the rest of your ask I wanna point out something that's rude and disrespectful. I didn't realize itast year but they say except Elain x Tamlin. I don't ship it for a multitude of reasons. This would be like me hosting a Lucien week and saying No Lucien x Vassa. Hosting a character week, YOU CANNOT DO THAT. The week is there to support a character you can't exclude ships. Having a ship day means you okay any and all ships for a character. If you want to exclude then there's two solutions: 1. Don't have a ship day or 2. Don't host the week. It's literally that simple.

Yes announcements are helpful. However thanks to the algorithm it's difficult to make sure everyone sees it. I don't know if they made an announcement and if they did, how early. But this algorithm sucks so spreading the news takes work. There's been weeks in the past that I had no clue about until days prior thanks to the algorithm. With that being said. I don't understand why people are making weeks and a announcing them so far out. People can forget and make another week around that time and hey look, more drama. A month - month and a half is all you need. Unless it's like a fic fest. Which is entirely different.

Speaking of weeks, it doesn't exactly matter if there's another week going on or not. It's the respectful thing to do. To simply choose another week if the one youd like has been taken. This ensures it won't tire out creators or make them choose which week to give more attention too if the need to. But it's in no way necessary. It's not a requirement. And in big fandoms, things overlap. Alot. And this is the only fandom I've seen to have an uproar about it.

Gigi and I actually tried to have an announcement blog for events that people could look at. Not everyone used it. In fact alot of people straight up ignored it. And some people when we would tell them hey there's a lot going on this month maybe do another? They'd go yeah but we want this time because x,y,z so we're just gonna do it. This just proves regardless of asking or not asking. Some people will do what they want and others will do the nice thing and change it.

Look I've been in some major fandoms and have seen dozens of different fests, fan weeks and months. ACOTAR is the only one that's had this weird sense of entitlement when it comes to fan events. You think Romione shippers and Dramione shippers talk about weeks and work around each other? Absolutely not. They stay in their part of the Fandom and conduct events however it pertains to them and their side of fandom. They don't give a fuck about the other side and it's relatively chill like that.

I wish the acotar Fandom could do that. Maybe one day

a vague new york city awning, late at night. dove and lucien playing at aesop’s fable. @lawlessgodss​

she emerges from the club to find the world turned biblical. noah has returned his flood, and the angels — whatever few still reside in this city, turned stony from what they’ve seen, most often misidentified from their place on high rooftops as gargoyles — have all gone inside, casting the blue lights of their television on the world beneath. the street overflows with rainwater, neon reflecting in the rushing stream to create a refraction of the world above. the image it creates — a city that continually bleeds, throbs, falls apart and recenters all in the blur of the same second — is in many ways more true than the solid one it mirrors.

dove squints at the outline of her car through the downpour, an arm emerging from the weighty cocoon of her shawl, signalling for her driver out of habit. it returns to its shelter, pale returning to pale, when she remembers she had given him the night off. she’d driven herself.

irritation intensifies as she watches the storm drains regurgitate whatever attempts to pass through it. fitting. even the gutters didn’t want the run-off of new york. itasted too much like the things that lived there. 

her options, than, are to wade through the waterlogged street herself, in the process submitting to the complete destruction of her shoes — a pair meant to be broken in for the stage, and nearly there — or to find an alternative method across the sudden river which bypassed entering it herself.

that option, as she finds it, stands a handful of paces away from her, cutting a figure tall enough to reach the morningstar and exhaling smoke like he’s already consumed the burning thing. dove fists her hands into her shawl, pulls it tighter. calculates the potential ruin of an evening. calculates it again. finds the estimation always says you lose.

the echo of her heels cuts through the sound of the falling rain. a fast drip, drip, drip with a slow click, click, click. repetition is an awfully damning thing, isn’t it?

“i don’t suppose,” the frog says to the scorpion, “you could help me find a way to my car.”

En 1896, au terme d'un véritable tour de France viticole, Marcel Ott, jeune ingénieur agronome alsacien, tombe en arrêt devant des terres qui suscitent enfin son inspiration. Nous sommes en Provence. La Méditerranée clapote à un jet de pierre... Ici, la culture de la vigne est un héritage de l'Antiquité. Hélas, peu avant la découverte de Marcel Ott, le phylloxéra a fait des ravages. Du coup, la terre est moins chère mais le vignoble reste à replanter. Le vin a perdu beaucoup de son âme dans la reconstruction du vignoble. Marcel Ott acquiert plusieurs domaines et entreprend de les remettre en état avec l'ambition tenace de créer de grands vins de Provence à partir de cépages nobles. Aujourd'hui, 120 ans plus tard, Christian et Jean-François, les cousins Ott, consacrent leur vie au coup de foudre de leur ancêtre. Les Domaines Ott* ont rejoint en 2004 Louis Roederer et sa jolie fédération d'artisans de grands vins.Christian et Jean-François gèrent trois domaines, le Château de Selle, le Clos Mireille et le Château Romassan. Chacune de ces propriétés a son charme et sa personnalité. Chacune peut s'enorgueillir de produire des vins rosés, rouges et blancs d'une extrême élégance. Dans leurs chais règne en maître un trésor de finesse, le célèbre « Cœur de Grain ».Le Cœur de Grain relève du coup de génie œnologique. Le flacon qui le contient n'est pas loin non plus de l'authentique exploit... Quel viticulteur, en effet, campant sur sa fierté de sourcier de grands vins, n'a pas rêvé de leur offrir le havre de notoriété d'une bouteille exclusive, unique, reconnaissable entre toutes ? René Ott l'a fait. En 1930. Lui qui ne cessait, entre collines et rivages, au fil jamais interrompu des rangs de vignes, d'aimer cette Provence ponctuée de cyprès, a créé une bouteille aux courbes élancées, inspirées par la grâce des paysages. Elle demeure aujourd'hui la signature des Domaines Ott* et ravive le souvenir des élégantes amphores qui recueillaient, en le gardant au frais, le vin d'il y a longtemps. @domainesott #domainesott #vin #domaine #vinfrancais #provence #france #vignobles #viticulture #appellations #cepage #itasting (presso Domaines Ott) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqxcJENnk9l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qq7ok0ezr31m
