Happy Birthday Moose

It’s my baby boy’s birthday today. He is SIX. It seems like just yesterday I was driving to Nebraska to pick him up. We’ve been through a lot together. He was with me when I moved out on my own. He helped me through so many ups and downs.  As I get healthier, his birthdays get easier for me. It’s a day to celebrate him, our lives together. I’m still working on living in the moment with him instead of being terrified of the future. 

Right now Moose’s favorite things are: Shredding paper, eating food in general, and playing with his flirt pole. He also loves taking walkies with his brother. Our goals for this year are: work on reactivity, try a barn hunt or something, and get outside more. 

I love you Moose, I know you can’t read this but you are so cherished.

what if everyone stares at me?

"then i would have done my job right..." astarion sounds exasperated. maybe because he finds himself being it only slightly. there was nothing normal about anyone who found themselves at this hour in the fitting room of the boutique, there's nothing normal about the girl staring at her reflection, there's pins being held in his mouth, as he expertly moves the fabric around, even more careful as to not prick claudia. he fears he would never hear the end of it. and this talk, it's almost dragging...silly insecurities that he does not understand entirely. "...now, dear claudia, do not tell me you're afraid of the spotlight, that seems so unlike you." he's teasing. tone still somewhat bored, not his usual selection of company. but he welcomes it nonetheless.

[godlymiseryclub]

just remembered a time in high school when I was absolutely blasted and, in a moment of quiet, a child yelled in a very nasal scream and ok whatever thats whatever. but then the kid next to me looked at me with like wide ass eyes and asked me if there was a moose in the hallway and I couldn't stop laughing for like 10 minutes.

thats the story time with nat :3

Meadowlark headcanons 3!~

The long awaited third part of my HC series let's gooooo!

- The Lark can't have ANY scented soaps in their house because no matter how many times they explain to Kingsley that soap shouldn't be consumed they end up eating it anyway and getting violently sick all because " it smelled good and looked yummy, if not edible why delicious smelling!? "

- Peregrine is viciously afraid of heights, mainly because the fear of falling makes it VERY anxious, they could absolutely climb a tree so long as they keep looking up but then they'd look down for ONE SECOND and it would be clinging to that branch for dear life on the brink of tears like a helpless kitten stuck in a tree

- whenever Cole goes Non-verbal they communicate their feelings to the lark the way rabbits do. feelings anxious? Nervous foot tapping/leg bouncing that usually accompanies it, feeling angry? Aggressive stomping, happy? Jovial thumping of boot against the ground

- Clémente had one of those little diaries with a lock and key that they got from Enaïs for their birthday, this diary was their only outlet to express their true feelings as to avoid conflict with their mother.

• they put quite a few of their utmost private secrets in that diary and hid the key amongst their music box that was a gift from the Barron before he died.

- Peregrine had a childhood pet that was a big large brown Newfoundland they named 'Moose' because she was a "moose of a creature" even as a puppy.

• Peregrine's parents initially got Moose as puppy with the intention of having a guard dog around the time Perrine was 5yo and of course they eventually just gave the responsibility of caring for her solely to Perrine because they couldn't be bothered.

• Moose was fiercely protective over them, growling and barking at their parents while posted at the foot of Peregrine's crib/bed whenever they sensing them as a threat, unfortunately that would result in the parents just tying her up in the doghouse outside

• Perrine would try to sneak out just to see Moose and Sometimes literally just fall asleep outside snuggling her

•Moose was like Perrine's lifeline growing up, whenever it would have panic attacks she would just come padding over to them and lay on it's lap, acting like a large weighted blanket until It calmed down.

• Moose would sadly pass of old age (Newfoundlands usually live 8-10 years) shortly before Perrine went away to start their new life and meet the Lark, but they were deeply distraught that they couldn't bring her with it and that she had to live out the rest of her old dog days in that wretched house.

Tried out incorrect-quote-generator again here's some of my favorites!

Mumbo : I have a bad feeling about this...

Grian : What do you mean?

Mumbo : Don't you ever get that little voice in your head that tells you if you're going to get into trouble?

Grian : No?

Scar: That actually explains so much.

Grian , acting tough: You guys don't want to mess with me.

Scar: Yeah, Grian  will straight up cry in public. Don't try them.

Grian : Exactly, I will straight up-

Grian :

Grian , tearing up: Scar, why would you say that?!

Mumbo , texting group chat: What flavour of ice cream do you guys want? I’m at the store so be quick!

Grian : Moose Tracks is good!

Scar: What the fuck is that!?

Grian : *Gasp* How dare you insult moo-

Scar: No. No no not that. What the hell. Why do you spell flavor like flavour. It’s like you have flavor but then this guy shows up and is like “Oui Oui Would you like chocolate flaVOUR or vanilla flaVOUR. 

Mumbo  and Grian : what?

Scar: I don’t get it why add the EXTRA u when it’s PERFECTLY FINE AS IT IS!?

Mumbo : You done now?

Scar: Yeah ok.

Mumbo  and Grian : ...

Scar: ...Can I have the Mint Chocolate chip flavour?

Boatem Addition!

Scar, to Grian : When was the last time you let someone hug you?

Grian : *thinking*

Grian : 2012.

Pearl : 2012…?

Grian : Yeah. I almost died and it really freaked Mumbo  out so I let them hug me.

Mumbo : *gets a text* Oh! It’s Grian.

Impulse, excitedly: Did they get me the stuff?

Mumbo : Yeah, they say they got you the clown costume, the power drill, and 12 gallons of blood.

Impulse: Wow! Where’d they find 12 gallons of fake blood?

Mumbo : You wanted fake blood?

Impulse:

Mumbo : I’ll go call Grian.

Grian : I’m in love with you.

Mumbo : We called off the prank war last night at midnight, dork.

Grian : I know.

Mumbo : Ah. Okay. Um. Cool. Neat. Very cool. Cool. Cool. Coolcoolcool-

Scar: If I run and leap at Grian , they will most certainly catch me in their arms.

Scar, running towards Grian : Coming in!

Grian : No! I’m holding coffee!

Grian : *Drops coffee and catches Scar*

Scar: Are you mad?

Grian : No.

Scar: So sharpening your knives at 3 in the morning is just a hobby?

Mumbo : Small creatures are much more vicious because they have a smaller body to bottle up all their emotions.

Scar: Ridiculous. Give me some examples.

Grian : Wasps?

Grian : Terriers?

Mumbo : Grian.

Grian: *Laughs* Babe, you had a crush on me? That’s embarrassing—

Mumbo  : We’re married.

Pearl : I haven’t slept in 72 hours…

Mumbo : I haven’t slept in 80. I’m the insomnia king!

Grian: Ha! I haven’t slept in 90 hours, I’m aiming for an even 100.

Impulse: What the fuck is wrong with you people.

Scar: Dear Diary, my teen angst bullshit has a body count.

Grian: What? I'm not aggressive!

Pearl : Last Tuesday, you wacked me with a pair of crocs and stole my chocolate chips?

Grian: Survival of the fittest, bitch.

Pearl : I keep a picture of all of us in my wallet. Whenever I face difficulties, I take it out and stare at the picture.

The Squad: Awwww-

Pearl : And I tell myself "If I can deal with these idiots, then I can deal with anything."

The Squad: Oh.

Scar: I am Scar, I speak for the trees. Chop them down and I snap your knees.

Impulse: Just be careful, Scar!

Scar: *heading out the door* I'm always careful, Impulse!

Scar: It's everything around me that's careless.

Mumbo : Grian, is that legal?

Grian: When there's no cops around, anything's legal!

Pearl: Ayo, what the FUCK is this?!?

Grian, sitting down, surrounded by corpses: I won Mafia, that’s what.

Scar: Hey, Mumbo. Why did the chicken cross the road?

Mumbo: To get to the other side?

Scar: You were supposed to say “I dunno, why?“

Mumbo: Uh... fine. I don’t know. Why did it cross the road?

Scar: To get to the idiot’s house.

Mumbo: ...Ok?

Grian: Hey, Mumbo. Knock knock.

Mumbo: No.

Grian: You were supposed to say “who’s there?”

Mumbo: Fine... let’s get this over with. Who’s there?

Grian: The chicken.

Mumbo:

Grian:

Scar:

Mumbo: Listen here you little shits-

THE PRINCESS DIARIES & THE PRINCESS DIARIES 2: ROYAL ENGAGEMENT PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue from both films (2001 & 2004)

the brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all.

wait for me! wait for me!

anyone can see your desires. no one knows what's in your heart.

you are so lucky you don't know who your parents are.

i am invisible... and i am wet.

i'm just supposed to watch you.

am i too late to ask you to accept my hand in marriage?

you broke my glasses!

don't worry about me.

a princess never chases a chicken.

this really is more romantic in books.

oh, by the way! i'm getting married!

you're not very good at lying.

i thought you'd never ask.

oh! oh yes! i absolutely accept!

somebody sat on me again.

we just made the bed.

tell me a secret.

i have done a lot of flying in my day.

do we have any problems?

you'll never be bored.

i loathe you.

no matter how many times you press that, it will still go up and down the same way.

i just love to look at him.

you look so... clean.

can you please pretend you have a life for just one moment?

just in case i wasn't enough of a freak already, let's add a tiara.

this is between a waltz and a tango.

we don't slump like this.

tell me your greatest desires.

i thought you said you never slide.

if there are no more passengers, i think we should close the door.

this is getting us nowhere! talk to me!

are you sassing your grandma?

courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear.

i have never put on pantyhose before, but it sounds dangerous.

why me?

yeah, he's cute.

shut up!

look out the window.

as always, this is as good as it's gonna get.

don't forget your shoes.

i haven't danced with you since your birthday.

you're morphing into one of them!

probably all i ever do is think about myself.

i can't do this.

i have diplomatic immunity in 46 countries, including puerto rico.

i love your eyebrows.

you can't run from everything?

i simply cannot condone it.

love does things for reasons that reasons cannot understand.

hang up the phone!

the secret is... i still want to.

the fault was entirely my own.

i'd like to report an accident.

the three of us have to talk.

what am i, a duck?

my job is to protect the crown.

stop daydreaming!

oh! your foot! i'm so sorry, are you all right?

i hate it when they move in like that.

is there maybe something else about me and my life that just maybe i might want to know about?

this is so cool!

now what did you want to tell me?

just stop it, okay?

you will answer directly to me.

are you sure you don't want to exchange licenses and proof of insurances?

he's not a backstreet boys clone.

i don't like you.

i look like a moose.

well aren't you just... crafty.

i've got a wedding to go to.

wait wait! no, not you. i don't even know you.

can we park a block away from school?

you know what? i don't feel protected.

you will find the word "fear" is not in my vocabulary.

i won't be getting married today.

oh my god! you're here!

i beg your pardon!

oh, for the love of god!

why do you talk like that?

is your mom dating an undertaker?

you look so... young.

can i borrow a comb?

oh, yeah, that is exactly what you did.

i know it's short notice, but you were all dressed.

so where are you taking me?

who destroyed you?

just because i didn't get my fairytale ending doesn't mean you shouldn't.

not if you didn't want me to.

they're smitten!

well, that probably wasn't the best idea.

you look ridiculous. you should sue.

have you ever experienced that instant headache when you eat ice too quickly?

just because your hair sucks, get off mine!

do you wear contact lenses?

i would gladly take a bullet for you.

look over there.

is this the punishment for driving without a licensed driver in the front seat?

you broke my brush.

so what are we learning today?

did you happen to see who's here?

you talk to him much?

well, the camera's all ready to go.

let's go this way.

ever take those shades off?

are you ready?

enough bowing! back to your chores!

no more straggling for me.

you did very well. very charming.

the light is perfect!

i'm feeling shy, come on.

you chose me, and i accepted.

did you hear that?

do you have any change?

no, it's not attractive!

okay, i look like an asparagus.

where is she going?

if this were my party, we'd be kissing by now.

they put me on hold!

we never rush. we hasten.

you know what? i'm fine! i'm good!

a strange woman came in here and asked to hide in your closet so i let her.

should i shoo him?

[salternateunreality2]

Princess Diaries 2 is a treasure

Mattress surfing

"Nepotism belongs in the arts, not in plumbing"

"Yes but a very beautiful moose, make all the boy moose go BWAAAAAAA!!!" which I now realize means Paolo thinks moose are gay because she has antlers in that scene.

"A queen is never late, everyone else is simply early"

"THE EAGLE IS FLYING, THE EAGLE IS FLYING" "In *hushed* tones, Lionel."

"Stare them down...no, no, soften..."

Let Us Have a Story - Mask

Kathleen Carlo (Koyukon Athabascan)

bass wood, pigments, buttit shells, hair, feathers, mexican milagros, copper tacks. 24” x 21” x 2”

This mask features a number of non-traditional objects that are hallmarks of Kathleen Carlo’s style: bullet casings, Mexican milagros charms, and automobile inspection mirrors. Each of these elements is significant: the halo of mirrors is a tribute to the passing of fellow mask-maker Lawrence Beck (Yup’ik) who taught Carlo at a seminal two week workshop at the Institute of Alaska Native Arts and helped her on the path to her career. The milagros charms in the mask’s mouth are traditional Mexican prayer charms: a parishioner would buy one in the form of a trouble or ill in their lives and take it to church with them. For Carlo, her masks speak of these troubles and ills, perhaps solving them through prayer, story or song. The addition of bullet casings–or buttit shells–signifies the importance of hunting for Carlo and many natives in Alaska. Raised on a subsistence diet of gathered and hunted foods–such as salmon, berries and moose meat–Carlo adds the shells to connote the human element in the more spiritual world of the mask.

The title of this piece, “Let Us Have a Story” is taken from a passage in the diary of Father Jules Jette, a late 19th century priest who first codified the Koyukon dialect into a dictionary. One evening Jette and a number of Native men were at his cabin telling stories to each other. As the end of each story drew near the Koyukon men built up their excitement and would shout “Ani!”–an expression of surprise and enthusiasm–and would call out, “Let’s have another story, let us have a story!” Reading this passage, Carlo was inspired by this historic, peaceable scene, and created this mask to commemorate it.
