The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

Have you ever felt that feeling, when even years after reading a book there are still some things about the characters that just stick with you?

To this day, any blue cookie/pastry reminds me of Percy,

Spiders of Ron,

(let's not forget Annabeth)

Ducks of Will Herondale,

Gloves of Kaz,

An actual crow of any of the Crows to be honest,

And dams, how can anyone ever escape that one

You're just going about your day and then you're hit with a force of something so powerful and profound

There is this soft yet familiar tug at your heart and for a moment it's just you and that feeling as you're slowly surrounded by all those memories, taking you back

And you're just left standing there,

Dumfounded and devastated,

With a smile on your face

what kind of sauce are they putting in the link click audio drama. HELLO? THE LITERAL LAST SCENE OF THE LAST EPISODE?

程小时: 说起来，我们第一次见面，也是在篮球场吧。 陆光: 是啊。 程小时: 你我本无缘，全靠一颗球。 陆光: 我就不该答应你比那场。

cheng xiaoshi: speaking of which, the first time we met was also on a basketball court, wasn't it? lu guang: it was. cheng xiaoshi: (half-jokingly) you and i weren't meant to be [lit. "originally have no fate"?]. this is all because of one basketball. lu guang: i really shouldn't have agreed to play that match.

(the important bits are from google translate because i am bad at mandarin. also i did transcribe this off just the audio + i don't have access to captions or know where to find official transcripts. so i hope i got this right 🙏)

i'm neither pro-ship or anti-ship but i do think it's funny when i stumble across posts like yours proclaiming that one side is volatile & hostile & wrong, while simultaneously claiming that your side has done nothing wrong & doesn't ever send anyone hate or threats. i don't doubt that there are extremists on both sides (come on, i've been in fandom since 2003, i know how these things happen). you may want to look into un-biased accounts from BOTH sides.

????????????

Edit: and here’s the studies talking about online harassment and purity culture. Also claiming you’re neither and yet sending me this ask is very anti behavior 😂 like not trying to be like “everyone who doesn’t like me is an anti!!! >:(“ but sending this ask instead of blocking me rlly is telling

[duckuwu]

it's been funny (in that way where it isnt) seeing people who dont live in los angeles react to these fires with 'now you know how g@z@ feels!' and it's just like... your disconnect is showing? first off your first reaction to someone losing everything shouldn't be an attempt at a sick burn / payback comment? idk but also, like, there's a lot of angelinos who were protesting and doing every day actions to help who did actually lose everything here too. so how does that help anything? and the other side of the coin is the folks who have the power to do something and havent (aka the rich1es / republ1cans)... don't care and wont care??? so all your comment does is actually hurt the people whose side youre supposedly on, who are already hurting.

Strong world is the nami and luffy twins manifesto written by oda this is my one piece.

You see luffy's finishing attack with his giant hammer being fueled by lightning which is nami's main weapon with her clima tact and she even made the guy steer the islands towards the cyclone so even if the lighting isn't produced by her the lighting is provided by her either way so luffy AND her finished that guy and even luffy attacked after nami announced how he will lose which also means nami knew and trusted luffy to end him after that and of course he did and

Oh my god luffy making nami explain herself about the message he left on the tone dial and being pissed that she didn't trust him to save and protect her but he got so mad and didn't hear the whole message and she asked luffy to save her omg....... she knew after all that they will come and win..... I love this ending I am going to walk into the sea now goodbye.

Why are whitebeard and ace on the ending credits I already cried. Watching aces part again cause he looks so good. Hello alive dead wife

Okay so the reason Pitbulls can be a dangerous dog is because they're terriers with a relatively strong bite force.

There are other breeds with much stronger bites that aren't considered as dangerous because the strength of the bite isn't the main issue.

You see, terriers as a breed were created as rodent control.

Quick bit of background before I get into why that's an issue.

Wolves have a predatory motor sequence that follows this pattern

orient > eye > stalk > chase > grab-bite > kill-bite > dissect > consume

When we started creating different dog breeds for different jobs we started playing around with emphasizing or deemphasizing different parts of that sequence. For example collies, as a herding breed, have a heavily emphasized Chase, a greatly deemphasizes grab-bite and the rest of the chain after that is all but extinct. When whatever he's chasing stops moving my smooth collie just stops and waits for them to run again!

Coming back to terriers and their job of rodent control. When you've got a lot of rodents to get rid of you don't want your dog wasting time with the dissect > consume portion of the sequence and the grab-bite is much less important than the kill-bite. Essentially what you've got in a terrier is See > Chase > Kill-Bite, and maybe a de-emphasized grab-bite before the kill-bite, ad infinitum until all the rodents are gone.

How this translates to why terriers are dangerous when it comes to people? It's a breed that was created with a mentality of bite to kill and keep biting until it's killed then move on to the next target.

There's really just no space to pause and breathe where the sequence can be more easily interrupted.

And this holds true for all terrier breeds! Not just Pitbulls! A Yorkshire terrier isn't as large though, and while an Airdale terrier is larger they aren't very common.

Pair this with the breeding of Pitbulls for aggression for use in dog fighting rings, their intimidating looks making them a popular choice for people who want a dog to act aggressively and are likely to abuse the dog, and a general misunderstanding and mismanagement of the dog and you've got Public Enemy Number One despite the fact they are the biggest damn sweethearts in the world. Those eyes! They get me every time.

People will leave their Pitbull alone with smaller pets, or even children, and something will trigger the predatory sequence and the dog will be over-threshold and unable to think rationally (think fight/flight mode) and start biting and won't stop until whatever they're biting is dead. And then they'll blame the dog when they're the ones that shouldn't have left the dog unsupervised in the first place.

Is a Pitbull dangerous? Every Pitbull has the potential to be dangerous, yes, regardless of how well they are trained or how much they've been spoiled or how loved they are.

It is our job as owners to mitigate that potential danger and the easiest and most impactful thing we can do is never leave them unsupervised around anything or anyone who can't manage them if their predatory sequence is triggered. If there's no one to supervise, crate them until someone can be.

The dog isn't the problem. They were bred to do a specific job and nine times out of ten aren't receiving enrichment for those instincts either!

But people who don't understand the temperament of the dog they're bringing into their home assume that genetics doesn't impact behaviour, or that training can negate genetic influence and come home from work to a mass murder scene in their living room.

So, are pitbulls a dangerous breed? Absolutely! Are Pitbulls the problem? Absolutely not.

Do you know what the consensus on pit bulls is? Some people say the negative stereotypes surrounding them are unfair, while others insist they’re inherently dangerous dogs that shouldn’t be kept as pets. Both views are biased to some degree, so I don’t know which to believe.

they're just. dogs.

and same as german shepards, same as huskies, same as dalmations, they have specific breed requirements and aren't right for every home! also like all dogs, they have to be trained to be a reliable and safe pet. but with their needs met and good training, they're about the same as any other dog in their size range (with individual exceptions for personal history and trauma of course)
