Again, might be completely wrong on the bread, but I think it’s a Great Pyrenees, also known as the Pyrenean Mountain Dog. Belongs to one of the volunteers of the association I was with last year. (I sadly don’t have the time for that anymore).

Fact from dog breed info: “The breed was descended from the Hungarian Kuvasz and the Maremmano-Abruzzese. The Pyrenees is also a relative of the St. Bernard, contributing to its development. It has a long history as a guard dog of sheep. The dogs made their way to Europe; the Great Pyrenees remained in the high mountain regions until the Middle ages, when the breed gradually gained popularity with the French nobility as a guard dog. By the late 17th century, every French noble wanted to own one. Armed with a spiky collar and thick coat, the Great Pyrenees protected vulnerable flocks from such predators as wolves and bear. The Great Pyrenees has proven to be a very versatile breed working as an avalanche rescue dog, as a cart-puller, sled dog, as a pack dog on ski trips, a flock guardian, dog of war, and as a companion and defender of family and property.”

There's an AD to babysit the BEST DOG I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY APPARTMENT BUILDING. AND MY FUCKING ROOMMATE ALSO ALREADY APPLIED. NO. NO!! MY DOGGO

[sgt-tombstone]

Shifter!Ghost or Puppy!Ghost would be a Great Pyrenees (Pyrenean Mountain Dog) and I won’t be taking criticism

massive ✅

blond ✅

intelligent ✅

fiercely protective ✅

gentle giant (towards those considered part of the “flock”) ✅

independent ✅

easygoing ✅

loyal ✅

watchful ✅

stubborn ✅

which makes me want to make Soap a Pyrenean Sheepdog, the Great Pyrenees’ smaller counterpart (one to guard, one to herd); they’re lean and athletic, giving them both speed and endurance. They’re sometimes described as a “ball of fire” (which is Soap to a T), intelligent, quick-witted, and mischievous with quick reactions and abundant nervous energy…

come on guys, the fic is writing itself here

[neptunefairytales]

If, and I say IF Michael is with David for the BAFTA ceremony, they need to bring Bark Ruffalo back. Like everyone I want a nice Good Omens or Staged reference but the dog need a come back!

But not as the cute little dainty thing. It's been a year, and the mini muppet will have grown into a full Pyrenean Mountain dog big enough to suffocate the two idiots! XD

I don’t have a Pyrenees but I do love a good dog story.

@blue-cat-ter-flies-blog left this reply in the English Mastiff!Desmond idea:

TBH I always thought if Desmond was a dog he'd be a Great Pyrenese thanks to that one post floating around about how great flock guardians are. Also he'd not only be Assassin-coloured but ridiculously fluffy too.

Wikipedia links to the Pyrenean Mountain Dog and it looks like what you’re describing.

This dog is apparently wildly used in France so now I’m thinking of Desmond getting adopted by Charles Dorian and gifting the dog to his son, Arno. He wasn’t there when Charles died because they didn’t take him and he waited for hours for them to come back until, finally, Monsieur de la Serre comes in to get Arno’s things and to take care of Charles’ belongings as he had no one else (as far as the French aristocrats are concerned anyway). He sees the dog and feeds it before taking it home.

Desmond immediately goes straight to where Arno is crying and Arno holds onto him as he cries.

No one questions how Desmond was still alive even though Arno was already a grown up and Desmond himself is just chilling, helping Arno with his chores, sometimes barks at Olivier when he’s being too rude to Arno.

He knows the de la Serres are Templars but they take care of Arno like their own son (and he also knows about Arno and Élise’s secret relationship and he’s pretty sure her father knows it too) so he doesn’t make any move against them. He never stops to distrust them though because he’s been burned by Templars too much to not have even just a flicker of mistrust but he won’t stop Arno from bonding with them.

Then Monsieur de la Serre was killed and Arno was imprisoned and Élise came home with a grave expression on her face.

She looked at Desmond for a moment before walking away without saying anything.

And that’s when Desmond knew…

This peaceful life as Arno Dorian’s canine companion has come to an end.

(Desmond ends up guarding the living 'lifestocks' known as 'Assassin recruits'. Pierre is the one who coins the term 'lifestocks' because of how protective Desmond is with the three recruits who usually work with Arno in missions)

Frappe very happey!!

Thank you for the tag @waterfire1848

My words are Adventure, Comfort, and Regret.

Tagging: @marinette-buginette @rorschachiris @bellatrixobsessed1

My words for you lovely people are: Flirting, Kindness, and Debate

Directions (Because I had to ask): You match a snippet of a WIP for a fic (or art) to each word. It can be any ship, canon, AU, or series! Very minor spoilers for two Sokkla Saturday prompts!

Adventure:

Sokkla Saturdays 2024: Nov 30th

“So…” Sokka softly whispered as the emergency light switched on. He ran a hand through his damp hair, rubbing his hand against his jacket. “How’s your day?”

The young woman at his side glared at him in the dim light. She took a deep breath. “Peachy.”

Sokka nodded thoughtfully. He reached into his school bag to reveal a peach. “Mine too.”

Much to his satisfaction, the girl snorted.

“At least you have a snack,” she replied with a tense smile. Sokka decided he liked that far more than the death glare.

He reached into the bag again to pull another peach out. He hadn’t even begun his next joke when the young woman began to laugh. Sokka decided he liked her laugh. It made his heart flutter.

“Well, we can both snack,” he said, offering her the second peach.

The young woman’s eyes danced between his gaze and the peach before grabbing it. “The name’s Azula. What is yours?”

Azula? Sokka had heard that name before but could not place where. He replied with a soft smile, “Sokka.”

Azula’s eyebrow rose. It seems like he wasn’t the only one who felt some familiarity between their names.

“Well, Sokka,” Azula sighed, “What are we going to do? The power is out and we are stuck in an elevator. For the first day of class, this sucks.”

Comfort:

Sokkla Saturdays 2024: Nov 9th

Azula scrolled through her phone, paying little attention to the football game Sokka was watching. Appa whimpered again as Azula ruffled the fur by his ears. Aang’s massive Pyrenean mountain dog was very spoiled.

“You like that, don’t you?” Azula asked Appa.

The dog sighed and dropped his head in her lap.

“Very spoiled, indeed,” Azula stated with a smile. She continued to stroke his head.

“I wish someone would pet my hair.”

Azula turned to her husband, who was also resting on the couch. Sokka was bundled under a thick blanket.

“Then move over here,” Azula said as she patted the cushion beside her.

Regret:

This is Sokkla Saturdays 2024 idea for Nov 2nd that was scrapped. I planned on making it a standalone fic sometime in the future. Trigger Warning: Cheating

It was now a full year since Suki ended their relationship.

Sokka frowned before shrugging. She was now halfway across the world in Europe with Jet. There was nothing he could do and nothing he wanted to do. He bit into the bagel, realizing his heart no longer felt empty. He swallowed, smiling at how far he had come.

A year ago, Sokka burned the bed his girlfriend and best friend cucked him on for weeks before Sokka found them on the couch. Said couch was also burned. Sokka’s smile widened at the memory of watching furniture and boxes of pictures go up in flames. Ten months ago, he rebounded with a girl named Yue. She moved back to Norway two weeks later after a weekend in a hotel room. Seven months ago, he started to properly heal with therapy and taking care of himself. Three months ago, he realized he was happy again, no longer plagued with regret in every waking hour.

And now? He ate a bagel, proud of himself for how far he had come. Sokka realized he had not even thought of Suki and Jet in months. Sokka ordered a second bagel with eggs, cheese, and sausage to celebrate.

Of course it's always wise to be wary of applying modern labels to antiquity, but this distinguished and very fluffy fella looks to be a Great Pyrenees! The breed wasn't officially established until the early 20th century, but dogs of this variety have been around hundreds of years.

[nilesmoon]

actually yknow what I will Not stop talking about amprule 4th anniversary art because I know Uri (the artist who designed amprule) puts so much detail into each drawing they make of them so let's break down this banger artwork together

Let's start simple! A pink rose! Pink roses signify elegance and deeper colored ones can signify appreciation! While the characters themselves are Korean, their artist is Japanese, so I also looked up what they mean in Hanakotoba (Japanese flower language) they signify trust, happiness and confidence! Considering their dynamic, these could be the meanings they were going for!!

Up next the dog & the cat. They are possibly a Maine Coon and a Pyrenean Mountain Dog!

From what I've gathered the Pyrenees are used as a livestock guardian. Because of this they are rather protective of their family, as well as loyal and loving but also do not get along well with strangers. All of which work for a rather good descriptor of Chungsung considering how he has dedicated himself to taking care of and protecting Dongha.

Maine Coons, from what I know of them, are curious cats who'll follow you around and try to get included in whatever their owners are doing. So basically, they're giant cats that are clingy. Which, again, works well with Dongha, since he clings to the people he loves! He is afraid of being left behind by Chungsung and he has always been clinging to support he had provided for him.

Now this part might be a reach but when it comes to Uri's art I'm not leaving any idea unsaid. Compared to how the dog is sleeping peacefully in Dongha's lap, the cat is looking at somewhere else, possibly showing how Dongha is desperately trying to get his father's approval?

I would also like to add that in the extra art Uri posted, it is pretty much made clear that the animals are supposed to represent each other, thus signifying the trust they have for one another.

And at last, the color swap. It is my favorite part of the whole thing ngl. Colors mean a lot of for Amprule in my opinion, green means Dongha and red means Chungsung. In their original designs Chungsung's reds are Dongha's accessories, they're eye catching and are mostly associated with hearts. Meanwhile Dongha's greens are naturally blended into Chungsung's clothes with a gorgeous pattern inside his coat. In this illustration however they covered in each other's colors! Hell, in Dongha's case he's covered head to toe in pink!! And this is a Huge Thing especially considering how their main colors contrast each other (but when two colors are contrasting they are also complementary).

But also gold means Dongha and silver means Chungsung. In an interview with Uri, they talk about how they used the gold & silver accessories to show their power imbalance. While it's not a complete swap, bronze & pearl keeps it similar to the colors of gold & silver without losing their difference in monetary value.

It's Dongha's brooch that sums it all up perfectly, green & red and bronze & pearls together in one beautiful piece of jewelry. Put a crown on top of it and that's Amprule.

In the end, I think this is the perfect illustration to showcase how Amprule has changed and will keep changing!! And here's to hoping that sometime soon they'll wear each others colors in not so muted tones.

[if you're here because you read this whole thing, thank you 💚❤️]

ROTTMNT Michelangelo x My Female OC - CHAPTER 1 : THE MEETING

The story takes place after Krang's defeat. All characters are adults.

Warning : none, except english errors (sorry for that !) and little argument bteween Raph and Leo ; Raphael is super protective and Mikey is too girly for OC ; Favorite villain here ! Hope you will like it !

A nice summer day for a solo journey. Michelangelo was peacefully eating an icecream when his phone rings :

“Chello~?” He says with a playfull smirk.

“Mikey ? Where are you ?” Asks Raphael “You said you will not be long and it's been two hours ! Everything's okay, buddy ?”

“I'm fine, Raph. I finish eating my icecream and…”

“Icecream ?!” Repeat Leonardo, offended “Did I heard correctly ? It's hot as hell down here and you dare to eat an icecream without us ? High treason ! I can't believe my own little brother would do such a thing to me !”

“Okay Leo, we get it !” Stoppes Raphael who takes back the phone “Mikey, go buy us icecreams and come back home.”

“Yes sir~...”

He hangs up.

Oh, he wishes to stay here a few others hours. Besides, the sun is setting like a nice cherry on the cake. Can't he stay and watch ? The young turtle looks around and smiles : oh yes, he can. And what better spot than a skyscaper ? His brothers will wait a little more.

With his manriki gusari, he reached a high dish to see the whole show.

He opens his arms and welcomes the lasts shafts of sunlight. The sky becomes a beautiful mix of orange and pink. What a sight ! Pure bliss !

The sun disapears, his arms fells down. Michelangelo was about to leave when someone appears from nowhere. He didn't pay attention before but he was on a rooftop. And a luxury one in fact ! Big swimming pool, home garden, a good set of garden furniture.

Michelangelo hides in the shadows, observing the human under him. Well, he trought it was a human until he sees a big snake tail ! A yokai ? Michelangelo isn't rassured, surely because he's a turtle. Time to go, he thinks.

But a noice betrays him and immediately the yokai attacks him !

In one second, it's pulling him into its coils and starting a constriction. Michelangelo is trapped, unable to move one finger. The giant snake opens wide its jaw, hissing agressively and showing its huge fangs.

Michelangelo tries to escape, to catch his weapon, in vain. His body hurts, he feels his flow blood slowy stopping and the air missing his lungs.

All of a sudden, a big white dog, a pyrenean mountain dog precisely, arrives and bounces happily between them.

The yokai releases Michelangelo who fells on the ground. Quickly he catches his breath, before the dog comes to lick his face cheerfully.

“Are you okay ?” He hears next to him.

When he opens his eyes, he came face to face with a beautiful girl with long, very long, wavy blond hair and pretty blue eyes surrounded by numerous topaz like a light mask.

Her angel face makes Michelangelo out of breath again.

“I apologize for attacking you.” She says with a light voice “I trought you were after me.”

Michelangelo couldn't answer, eyes and moutg wide open, until the dog licks him again and wakes him up :

“No problem !” He says with an awkward smile “I shouldn't come in your rooftop without permission !”

“Come here, Fable.”

The big dog sits near its mistress. Michelangelo notices the low part of the girl's body is still in snake form. A big white snake. But instead scales, there is fuzz. He was so scared that he didn't even notice it when he was trapped in her coils. Now he couldn't believe that the beautiful girl in front of him was a terrifying beast who tried to eat him a few minutes ago.

“What's your name ?” She asks.

“M-Mikey.”

Michelangelo is surprised to stutter whereas he's normally in ease with people.

“Mine is Eva. Nice to meet you, Mikey.” She shakes warmly his hand “Would you like to stay with me a little more ? I usually don't have much visit.”

Obviously, if you attack them !, thinks Michelangelo.

She invites him to sit on sun chairs.

They start to discuss, the dog laying next to their foot. Eva likes to sing and dance, and skateboard like Michelangelo, and follows amateur artits on social medias. The turtle shows her some artists he follows too and then his own art. His ego growing as Eva compliments him with admiration.

They finally relax and open to each other. Eva lives with her father, an important manager, but she's alone most of time because of his job. She had friends before but they left because of her lifestyle and her father's stern attitude. Michelangelo feels much sympathy for the poor girl.

With the flow of the discussion,they leave the sun chairs and walk around the swimming pool, and then sit on the sill, foot on the water, to watch videos on Michelangelo's phone.

Suddenly the phone rings : Raphael ! Michelangelo didn't realize what time it was :

“He's going to kill me for sure.”

“I'm so sorry. I would never ask you to stay if I had known it causes you troubles.”

“You're kidding, right ? I liked talking with you, it was fun ! I will come again.”

“Really ? Thank you !”

She was so happy that she hugs him. Michelangelo doesn't know where he should put his hands ; it wasn't so hard with April, so why now ?! The feeling was so different… And Eva smells like vanilla…

“What the hell is happening here ?!” Roars a strong voice behind them.

A huge and furious man with white slicked hairs approaches them.

“Father !” Calls Eva.

“Father ?” Repeats Michelangelo, surprised to see a human.

The man turns his cufflink and a bright light is wraping him up and revealing his true appareance.

Michelangelo shudders : Bruce, the leader of the Masters of Barbarianism !

He was already upset to see his daughter with a stranger, he's raging when he recognizes Michelangelo, the bold one who humiliated him at Hueso's restaurant !

“How dare you showing your bastard toadface in my house ?!” The dragon fumes.

“Father, please calm down !” Begs Eva, who has no clue about what happened between these two “Everything is okay, Mikey is my friend…”

“Your friend, this coward in the pay of the Makers of Brutality ?! I told you I didn't want to see you with a boy until you're fifty, he certainly won't be the exception !”

“A boy ? Mikey isn't a boy…”

Silence. Eva looks at Michelangelo who couldn't believe what he just hears :

“Did you think I was a girl ?!”

“Well… Yes, I did.”

“But WHY ?!”

“I don't know ! Maybe your voice… It's kind of acute… And my dog doesn't like boys normally.”

They were both so embarrassed that they didn't look at each other anymore. Eva's is bright red behind her hands when she whispers :

“Oh no, I hugged a boy…”

Bruce sees red : he thought the dumbass turtle brings dishonour on his precious daughter ! Flames are coming out his nostrils, he takes his katana and jumps right on Michelangelo ! The turtle escapes in time and flies far away from the rooftop, hearing Bruce's screams of rage.

If he managed to escape from Bruce, he doesn't even try with Raphael.

The red turtle was way too much worried to let his little brother explains why he's running late.

Fortunatly Leonardo comes to complain about the missing icecreams, giving Michelangelo the chance to tell the whole story to his brothers.

The moment he told them about Eva, he caughted immediatly their attention : the fact that Eva is the daughter of a crime-gang's boss worried Raphael, while Donatello et Leonardo were intrigued by “angel face” and “pretty girl” terms Michelangelo used to describe her, with this nice kind of sparks in his eyes and this dumb grin on his face. Oh man, that was a very interessing reaction.

But as intrigued as they were, they are all rolling with laughter when Michelangelo said Eva mistaked him with a girl !

“That's not funny !” Grumbles the young turtle “I'm not girly !”

“Forget it.” Says Raphal as he patted his shoulder “It's not like you will see her again !”

Michelangelo avoided his gaze, Raphael frowned :

“You don't attend to see her again, don't you ?”

“Well…”

“Mikey, she's a mafia guy's daughter !”

“So what ? She's my friend ! It's not her fault that his dad is a villain !”

“You put yourself in danger with her !”

“I agree with Raph.” Says Donatello “You should forget her, she doesn't deserve a friend like you.”

“Oh, that's so ?! What exactly do you know about her ?!”

His anger surprised his brothers.

Michelangelo releases himself from Raphael's grip and goes straight to his room.

Leonardo stoppes Raphael to follow him :

“I got this, trust me.”

Even if he's letting Leonardo go, Raphael isn't rassured.

The blue turtle gets his head in his little brother's room. Now he's reading comics in his hammock, turning his back to the door.

“Hey little bro. May I come in ?”

Michelangelo mutters something, Leonardo takes it as a yes and sits next to him, smirking :

“She's that pretty ?”

“Yes. And she's alone. Instead her father, I was the first person to talk with her since a long time. It's so sad.”

“Oh, I see~... Rapunzel in her ivory tower.”

The blunt sound of the comic on Michelangelo's legs mades Leonardo jump.

“See ?! You're judging without knowing her !”

“Hey, calm down, little brother. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mocking her. You really care about her, right ?”

Michelangelo blushes a little. Of course he cares about her.

“It's just… She's a nice girl, you know. She doesn't deserve to be alone like that. If I don't go back to her, I feel like I'm betraying her.”

“So you don't have a choice : you have to see her again.”

Michelangelo thought he was mishearing. But Leonardo has a knowing smile :

“Go back to her, idiot.”

Michelangelo jumps into his brother's arms, so happy :

“Thank you ! Thank you ! I love you, Leo !”

“Yeah, yeah.” Smiles the blue one “Try to come back in one piece, though.”

A few minutes later, when Leonardo leaves the room, Raphael was waiting for him, much less pleased than his blue brother.

“That's how you got this ?” He growls.

“What ? He's in a good mood again !”

“But he doesn't change his mind !”

“You can't change his mind, Raph.”

“So tell me why you even talked to him ?! You gave him your permission where I put my prohibition !”

“Mikey is not a kid anymore, he doesn't need permission, mine or yours. He would have gone back to this girl anyway. I just made sure he will not act out of anger. Now he will be careful. Trust him a little.”
