TMAGP 030 THOUGHTS (SPOILERS)

Hm. No dedication this episode. Interesting.

Sam what are you doing do not continue ignoring Alice Really dude? Dry swallowing? YEAH I'M NOT UP FOR AN APOCALYPTIC CONFLICT THIS SOON EITHER SAM

Oh shit... Colin what happened with Freddy. THAT WAS WAY TOO FINAL OF A GOODBYE FOR MY LIKING

WAIT WAIT WAIT We're saying goodbye to Lena too? What!? Gwen you girlbossed directly into the sun and I think you've set the OIAR on fire because of it.

"We want your teeth." No thanks. I'd rather keep them.

Oh shit Celia's not just a universe-hopping mystery woman, she's a badass universe-hopping mystery woman!

I love this Custodian. That is all.

OH FUCK IT'S TAPE RECORDER TIME oh wow he didn't last long. RIP Custodian; way to quickly and succinctly disprove Alice's "ignorance is safety" concept, though.

Ah yes. Basements and the Magnus Institute, name a more iconic duo.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. IT'S THE WOUND IN REALITY. I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

WAIT WAIT WAIT STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES

I was not expecting a Celia Ripley betrayal It makes sense, though. She doesn't belong here. But she won't go back. There's a price to pay, and someone has to pay it.

They're... gone.

[boltlightning]

What things have you watched for more Davenport stuff, and what did you think about it?

I'm considering buying a DVD set of Smash, and see if I can watch 10 percent, The Wedding Date and Next of Kin online.

I've already seen Kingsman (not just for him), The Journey of Mary Bryant but have yet to watch The Talented Mr. Ripley.

lmao. the amount of time i have spent on this dude...i'm gonna put this below a cut on the off-chance this won't show up in the tags, but here, in an orderly categorized list, is what i've watched for this dude

i would recommend:

p.irates of the caribbean — lmao

the t.alented mr ripley — this movie is not scary but it is haunting. it will stick with you like carrion to bones. highly recommend

why w.omen kill — he and lucy liu steal the show in season 1, which is very good, and he's the narrator in season 2, which is less good, but still entertaining. this show is so so good. please watch it

the incredible journey of m.ary bryant — it's probably a whole hour longer than it needs to be but everyone is putting their whole hearts into their performances

haven't we met before? this extremely cute commercial with f.elicity jones — it's five minutes long. it's adorable. it's even a little saucy. he's got the smash-era hair without being in smash. very good.

the m.oth 1997 — this was very early in his career and you can really tell, but he is adorable, and the writing itself perfectly embodies that hokey, melodramatic period drama bullshit that i so love

e.roica 2003 — 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 THE 19TH CENTURY FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

i wouldn't recommend, and he's not in them very much, but they're alright:

the m.orning show — check for triggers. he's only in the first season but he's great. and it turns into a soap opera in the second season on and not in a good way

k.ingsmen — justice for my guy. RIP

p.irate radio — b.ill nighy is great in this! jdav is in a gorgeous longcoat. but then there is the misogyny

a u.nited kingdom — gorgeous film, killer cast, oversimplification of history but very good for what it is. jdav leans into the sneering brit archetype so hard it makes you realize he definitely could sound more sinister than he already does, he just rarely drops his voice to the bottom of his register

i wouldn't recommend, but you may like them if you go in with more information:

s.mash — given all the talent on this show, it is baffling that it's so bad. jdav plays a genuinely awful man who is by far the most interesting character in the show, which means every conflict centers around him, and not always in a good way. watch this show to see jdav handsomely draped across furniture serving cunt alongside c.hristian borle and a.njelica houston and m.egan hilty and enjoy some of the the greatest musical performances ever conceived. ignore everything else. it is not worth your brain cells

the w.edding date — maybe the worst romcom i've ever seen? jdav is adorable and playing an atypical idiot. he has more chemistry with the romantic interest then the actual lead, to the point where i thought they'd end up together

f.lashforward — i enjoyed this show and will be thinking about it for a long time. it's a nostalgic 2000s 24-alike, but it won't be for everyone. his character is very sweet, which is a rarity and a boon.

g.uernica — i would rate this movie a c- but jdav's accent in this needs to be heard to be believed. also burn gorman is there. burn my beloved

you should not watch:

he was in a netflix western set in australia that was so bad i'm not going to bother looking up the name. it is GORGEOUS but you should watch this movie muted and with the captions off and you will inevitably come up with a better plot. listen to a little bit of his accent though.

don't watch smash. please god. don't do it. i know what category i put it in but don't do it. listen to me. i'm begging you.

i have heard good things about w.hy women kill and g.uernica though! and i've been trying to track down the m.oth, they've been on my list forever. definitely let me know about 10 percent, i have no way of finding that as an american lol

july 2024 edit: list has been updated. still haven't tracked down 10 percent <3

[zombirps]

🔫/lh tell me abt ur ships pls

NO THIS IS GREAT I CAN ORGANIZE ALL MY SHIPS AND ALSO GET A PICKME UP CAUSE MY BRAIN IS SAD TODAY THANKS ANON

(Ill keep it to specifically just the established ships, if they're super loosey goosey in planning I'll save those for later heheh)

I'll organize them by mun since I actually don't have many with too many people, but I have a lot with a cluster of homies ehehehehhe

AVIS (mycrappyRPsideblog)

Haimon ♡ Cloten (Hunter's Trap)- Both of them are mentally ill, Haimon is a stalker with 2000x more emotional maturity than Cloten, who has emotionally dissociated from her emotions over the last 200 sweeps. He doesn't give up on her even though she pushes him away and I love them <3333

Edolli ♡ Ripley (Hard Knock Life)- Edolli is the abused heiress of a mafia group, cloned by her ancestor to avoid the death of her bloodline. Ripley is the leader of her ancestor's enemy group. Ripley saved her from the group and now they're trying to navigate a healthy relationship now that all secrets are out.

Phylda ♡ Bokura (Haunted Grounds)- Phylda and Bokura is my oldest ship! They were mates when they were much younger (10ish) then Bokura was taken and brainwashed, they're trying to figure out how to live together while overcoming 500+ sweeps of trauma. Im love them, they're the easiest ship because theres a lot of trust and love.

--------------------------------------------

Ven (nethertrolls)[NOTE: we kind of treat ship making like an olympic sport, so I'll only mention the main troll/fleshed out ships- ven and I have like, double digits at this point{I blame the bleach trolls}]

Hoclei ♡ Paeoni (Neighborhood Watch)- Paeoni is an overworked mistreated cop who can read minds- Hoclei is a goodhearted delinquent who struggles to say what she thinks, which usually causes trolls to be scared of her/hate her because she will sometimes be abrasive. Paeoni is the only one who hears her silly cute thoughts and its so fun.

Lixitu ♡ Fenris (Unnamed)- They're actually pretty fresh, Fenris is a vampire that tried eating Lixitu but ofc this weird ass bitch has 20 million contingency plans and had a 'break in case of vampire' blood bag collection so they're chill now. It's gonna be so cute tho,,,

Gneise ♡ Aeiris (Unnamed)- Gneise is a badass natural conservationist protecting her wrigglerhood planet from the climatization of the fleet (they're trying to 'fix' the planet- Gneise doesn't want it fixed, because it's a beautiful wonderland of a bunch of species that ONLY exist on this planet). Aeiris loves her because shes a badass, he's a cool chaos god that walks around pretending he's a cat. NGL Gneise loves him because he's a cat + a short cute dude- she ADORES short cute dudes. Especially if they can kick her ass.

Myroji ♡ Oreion (Unnamed) - Picket fence couple that was ripped away from each other 20+ sweeps ago when Oreion's ancestor paid pirates to kill her. She's now a feral vampire and he's become a information broker combing the planet to find her.

Honorable mentions to 20+ other unnamed ships (Godverse, BleachTrolls, Ven knows. We have an illness)

--------------------------------------------

Xonn (CybernatedBeholder)

Lixitu ♠ Brykna(Kiss and Tell) - Lixitu loves to go to bars and win all the trivia games, because she has photographic memory (and usually the bars will pay for the drinks and food and she's poor as shit). Bree started making the questions harder specifically to trip her up/mess with her, now they shit talk each other.

Cirela ♡ Zavlan(unnamed)

--------------------------------------------

Nort (norts-trolls)

Alcida ♡ Ceroga (Match My Freak) - YanderexYandere, they're a clusterfuck of shit quite frankly. She's been stalking them and murdering their mates, they've been using their natural toxin on her so she never leaves. Neither of them are good trolls and that's exactly where they wanna be.

--------------------------------------------

Malyk (GoldenGuillotines)

Guizan ♡ Vantai(Web of Lies) - Guizan is one of the top legislacerator, working directly under the legislacerator who is the empress' main guy, and their office is currently being investigated by Vantai's group who is checking out the illegal dealings coming out of the office. Secrets come out.

[greatrunner]

Re-watching Maximilian Dood play Alien Isolation, and it just occurred to me:

Are we meant to believe all of those Working Joe's that Ripley comes across right before she encounters Samuels again, were jobbers that Samuels personally beat the shit out of?

Like, my guy was just ripping these dudes from the torso and leaving ‘em in two pieces?

[touch-starved-apprentice]

TWST CHARACTERS RANKED BY HOW EASILY I COULD TAKE THEM IN A FIGHT

this is all for giggles and i wouldn't be able to take half of them realistically anyways don't yell at me pls

Grim - you’re done.

Riddle Rosehearts - i would never lay a hand on this baby boy but i really fucking could. i have no magic, what’s he gonna do? he’s tiny and i’m a big lady, i could bench press him.

Ruggie Bucci - this boy doesn’t fight fair. but that doesn’t fucking matter. i win. he’s getting yeeted out of the ring.

Azul Ashengrotto - without the tweels this man is nothing, i could throw him around like a sack of potatoes. i don’t know how much i could do to his merform because i don’t know how strong octopi are and i don’t really wanna find out, but i feel like i could still take him bc i run on pure feral energy.

Kalim Al-Asim - he just. he doesn’t have it in him. why would i do that? i can’t. he could drown me. but he can’t. and i just wouldn’t.

Idia Shroud - this man would cower beneath me and think it’s hot but the problem is that he very well could dox me after the fight. lucky for him i think he’s cute and we’d be gaymer autism buddies so i would not fight him. tbh if i DID fight him he’d probably just accept his fate and then Ortho (the other problem) would end me immediately.

Trey Clover - the strong baker arms cannot save him, i am too unhinged. he will run screaming for the hills.

Ace Trappola - he’s going down. he’ll fight back but i throw him against the ground ONCE and he’s done for.

Jade Leech - you give me a nailbat and this man is a goner. i don’t care how strong he is. yes he’s creepy but he isn’t as outwardly feral as Floyd or me, he cannot possibly match me in pure rage.

Cater Diamond - if he’s allowed to use his powers this is an issue. i don’t think i can take multiple Caters, he has so much energy. if not, he’s easy. Cater doesn’t strike me as a strong dude.

Vil Schoenheit - Vil is another that does not understand the pure unadulterated burning fury that resides in my bones and yes he could poison me or whatever, but if we’re talking like just a typical fight he’s gone. he’s not putting up with it, he fought back but he tapped out at record speed. Rook may kill me in my sleep that night though.

Floyd Leech - i don’t care how strong he is either. he gets bored and isn’t that resilient, i get the fuck back up. it’s to the death and i’m very much alive and full of pure rat queen energy.

Epel Felmier - he is smaller than me, but stronger than me, and matches me on rat boy energy so we may be at a standstill.

Deuce Spade - he could beat me if he was mad enough but why would i do that to him?

Headmaster Crowley - in a no magic fight i could Rhea Ripley Riptide this bitch. if there is magic involved though i am simply Dead and he moves up to spot 23.

Silver - the chillest man on earth and therefore does not deserve my wrath but he is a knight and could probs take me down easily. if anything if i fight him then i deserve his wrath.

Jamil Viper - this one is hard but in the end i don’t think i could. he’s spent his entire life protecting Kalim, is a dancer, and a basketball player, AND has hypnosis powers. i dunno if i could compete man.

Leona Kingscholar - there are two routes this could go. either he pins me down and ends my life instantly or he accepts his fate and i get concerned and take him to therapy. no in between.

Rook Hunt - this could go one of THREE ways. one, he snipes me before i have the chance. two, we have a fair fight and he comes out on top bc he’s stronger. three, he thinks i’m hot when i’m ready to end a man’s life and i gain the upper hand. a wildcard if you will.

Jack Howl - no thanks i’d like to not die by having my throat ripped out and also WHY WOULD I?

Sebek Zigvolt - he has spent his entire life training, i’m GOOD thanks.

Ortho Shroud - he could kill me instantly but why would i ever fight my son

Lilia Vanrouge - another whom if i fight them i honestly deserve to die, my beloved Lils. I would have no reason to fight my hubby, but if i for some reason did, he’d kill me on the spot. this man is a father he has KIDS to look after gfdi

Malleus Draconia - he could snap his fingers and i’d be a pile of ash but literally why would i ever fight him? he just wants friends to infodump about gargoyles to?

[hellhound-wrangler]

I'm taking a basic training class with Echo at the training place I like for Ripley (R+ focus, good facility design reduces the odds of other people's dogs harassing mine). It's a very different experience than training Rip - Echo isn't reactive, thinks touching stuff with his nose on command is dumb, and will chomp the hell out of my fingers in his eagerness if my lure presentation isn't perfect (but he's incredibly motivated to get the kibble).

I've noticed that he's not a fan of the down - he lays down on his own all the time on a variety of surfaces, but if we're training, he will contort himself like crazy trying to get the lure without actually laying all the way down, and then if he does down, he usually pops right back up into a sit once he finishes gobbling up his jackpot. I'm not sure if downs were for boring/not fun stuff at his old home, or if he just prefers to be in a position where he can attempt to pickpocket cookies if I disengage, or if he's just a weird little dude.

I've had Rip model the behavior for him, which has worked for sit, kennel up, and recall, but no dice.

[leecravesdeath]

no offense dudes but I don't really like theo

My Strange Addiction

Rhea Ripley/Billie Eilish

I have no clue how fancfic etiquette is supposed to work. I have no idea about word count or any of that but I do know it’s not smut(yet) I would put this at like PG? Idk if there’s sex i’ll warn you ok? lol I’ll be doing this in parts. This is my first fic! Enjoy? 🤷🏽‍♂️

(Note: idc who you are or aren’t a fan of. If you like 1 and not the other, keep it to yourself. Write your own maybe? I’m down for some critiquing. Especially for grammar shit but be gentle lol)

"You don't think this is weird?" Rhea asked adjusting her sports bra.

"Dude, this is a good payout for essentially doing what we'd be doing anyway." Raquel lowered herself on to a bench press. "Spot me.", She said pointing. Rhea stood above Raquels head looking down at her.

"Who is this kid again?" Rhea asked.

Raquel rolled her eyes pushing a heavy bar back up onto the rack. “Billie Eilish? Dude you listen to a song of hers all the time. ‘Copycat’? She’s everywhere right now.”

“Oh shit. Yeah, ok. I love that song.” Rhea said picturing the little blonde girl in her mind. “Isn’t she like 16?” she asked biting her nails.

“She was when that song came out. She’s 20.” Raquel looked at Rhea with a raised eyebrow . “Why so curious all of a sudden?”

“I just didn’t realize who we were working with.” She was now googling the pop star to get more info and chuckled a little.

“What?” Raquel asked adding another set of weights to the bar.

“Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell.” Rhea said with a smile. “That’s her legit full name.”

“No wayyy.” Raquel said playfully hanging her mouth open.

“It is actually.” Someone had stepped up behind Rhea and neither her or Raquel noticed. Rhea turned around slowly. The long blonde hair over piercing blue eyes and remarkably full lips were all she needed to see before she knew.

“Hi Billie.” Rhea smiled and extended her hand to the 5’3 singer. “I’m Rhea Rip..”

Billie cut her off.

“Rhea Ripley and Raquel Gonzalez, right?” Billie said smiling. “I was so stoked to find out you guys were going to be on set. Wrestling is cool and whatever but the women who wrestle? Mmm.” She chef kissed and chuckled. “Actually, I used a pic of you Rhea, for the casting call.” Billie was saying waving her arms around suddenly and trying to get the attention of a guy walking fast and talking into a headset. He approached hurriedly.

“Yes Ms. Eilish?” He asked slightly out of breath.

“Ew dog.” Billie said scrunching up her nose. “Billie orrrr William orrr anything but ms. Eilish. Cool?”

“Cool.” He said looking through the paperwork in his clipboard.

“Oh hey!” Billie suddenly yelled. “Lemme get the picture we sent to the casting companies if you have it, pllleeeease.”

“Right here ma’am.” He said handing her 2 pages stapled together.

“Dog!“ Billie yelled laughing at the same time. “I know I said ‘anything’ but, ‘ma’am’? For real?”

Rhea could feel her pulse quicken a little as her mind raced. “This kid runs the whole show.” Rhea thought. “She’s so assertive and these people are intimidated for sure! She’s barely 5 feet! I like it.” Billie laughed some more before saying “I’m sorry for pulling you away. Thank you so much for the picture.” She turned and Rhea snapped back to the present.

“No lie bro”, Billie said holding the page up. A printed picture of Rhea was staring back. Its a gym selfie. “My shoulders look good in this.” Rhea thought to herself.

“Look at your shoulders.” Billie said shifting her gaze from the paper to the real thing. Rhea could somehow feel Billies gaze. She looked down at the much smaller girl and smirked.

“Thanks”, Rhea said suddenly losing all her confidence when Billie didn’t react to the smirk. Girls love the smirk! Billie was looking her slowly up and down now, biting her bottom lip when the gaze passed over Rheas ass. “Mmm.” Billie had let out still biting her bottom lip. “See you ladies later. We’ll have a meeting in about an hour to go over everything I need from you for the video, cool?” Billies eyes still roaming Rheas body as she spoke.

“Cool”, Raquel said trying to break the palpable tension.

“Yeah, all set” Rhea said trying not to smile like an idiot.

“Hell yeah.” Billie said finally looking back up into Rheas eyes and smirking.

"The smirk", Rhea thought to herself. “It is hot.”

Vox Machina episode 33!!!!

I think it’s really funny that they always describe it as “the gang helps Percy free his hometown from evil vampires!!!” when really Percy was like “y’all i’m gonna murder a lot of people come with or don’t idc”

They’re all so dumb like Percy’s wearing the Disguise Hat and standing in the dark and they’re all like “PERCY??? Hey PERCIEVAL do you recognize her??? PERCY??”

“You’re at the bottom of my list. (And I take off the hat)” AVHHHGGHHHHHGGHHHHHHHH

[remys-lucky-franc]

If you could choose absolutely anyone in the lovestruck universe, who would you want as your 3 companions in a zombie apocalypse and why?

I did a whole lot of thinking about this 😂 and my answers are :

1) Queen of Thieves - Leon Kwan

You’ve seen him : the dude is BUILT. He could definitely protect me against undead, smelly, drooling monsters. He is a top getaway driver and can also fly a helicopter or captain a boat if we can find one to get away from the zombies! Also, if I need to repopulate the Earth after the apocalypse, 10/10 wouldn’t mind doing that with Leon.

2) Sin With Me - Ripley

She is a literal bear. As much as she is adorable, I’m pretty sure she could rip some zombies limb from limb and be fierce enough to scare some of them away! She would also be my own personal teddy to snuggle up with when we got far enough away to sleep.

3) Astoria - Hades

He isn’t my fave from Astoria admittedly, and I’m not entirely sure he would get on with Leon, but he’s the God of the Underworld right? So I’m thinking that if we can try to get away, Leon and Ripley can keep the zombies at bay, maybe Hades can work out a way to make the undead, sort of dead?

I could compliment the rest of the gang with my tech skills. I’m no QOT Zoe, but I could certainly get some comms up and running to see if there was anyone else out there... Also, I always have snacks. You always need someone with snacks in a ragtag bunch.

[idexstuck]

also, it’s so funny that i ended up on killian as one of the people in imai’s ‘i regularly contact these people, i consider them my tentative friend(s)’ circle. killian’s a jerk to just about everyone... and also he kind of wants to rip & tear... and he’s classified as an SCU Baddie... and yet imai’s like ‘dude epic!’

granted killian’s not EVIL, he just... is mean and also so happens to want humanity specifically eradicated. and those two things coexist but are unrelated. i think imai thinks his goal is interesting but his personality is kinda shit to everyone but her

speaking of which, imai would probably get along with the less morally unhinged baddies. like she’d chill with ripley, dr. w, maybe halley (magellan), she would respect emerson’s end goal but think he’s a total lunatic (usually the consensus for most people)... and i think she’d also like maybe gridley and perhaps antifreeze

[nedflix-n-chill]

Shocking Dark Do you love Aliens? Do you love Terminator? Did you ever wish to see Aliens vs Terminator? Yeah I'm pretty sure any sane genre fan would. However Shocking Dark is the twisted ironic answer to a monkey's paw wish for Aliens vs Terminator. A low budget Italian rip-off answer. In a country known for low budget rip-offs Shocking Dark might be the most unabashed. It's starts as an Aliens rip-off and the characters are seriously almost 1 to 1 taken from the much loved James Cameron sequel. Oh there's most definitely a Ripley, even a Newt. And while Cameron's film is a multitude times better than this there is one area I have to give to Shocking Dark and that's the badass female minority character only because they actually casted a minority instead of just giving a white lady a Hispanic name and a tan. This might be the only instance where the low budget Italian rip-off is LESS problematic. Did I mention it's low budget? I'm assuming they didn't have the money to make a spaceship set so this film moves the setting to underneath Venice. The aliens also look more like the monsters from Humanoids from the Deep or Chud. Then about two-thirds through the film they get tired of ripping off Alien and then just start ripping of Terminator. In fact in Italy they marketed it as Terminator 2 (since this came out before the actual T2.) This all sounds bad but I think y'all are forgetting my motto and that's "Bad films are good, good films are ok, and boring films are the worst." So yes, this film is glorious, even if the acting feels like the first time cold table read of the script. It's got monsters and marines and feels like it was written by an '80s California surfer dude (the marines are from the MegaForce and the evil company is the Tubular Corporation). So yeah this mess is a hell of a lot of fun and it's nice to see some people riff on Cameron's oeuvre since he is dead and no longer makes movies. He's not dead? Just relegating the rest of his career to making alien Smurf movies where they fuck by connecting their hair which also is the same way they ride animals? Eh, might as well be. I tell ya what, I much rather be watching this. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkT5ShF1mL/?igshid=1olxg01mm6t8v

D67 - Aquarium Sunny Sharks

1. Highlight of the day: We woke up around 9AM, washed up and had some breakfast before walking over to the Ripley’s Aquarium. We stoped by Berczy Park where I took some pictures of the fountain with lots of dogs statute and then just a cat perching on a big inox slab. The aquarium looked rather small from the outside so initially we thought the entrance fee of $44 was such a rip-off. However, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there and spent more than 2 hours discovering the underwater creatures - sharks, turtles, stingrays, fish, clownfish (because they deserve an individual shoutout), starfish, eel, octopus, jellyfish. After much hovering at the mini donut counter, we bought a dozen with only sugar since QT insisted no cinnamon or chocolate oreo. We both agreed that the souvenir shop was not so lame as the others. More than once, QT offered to buy me the stuff toys as I literally jumped at everything I saw because of their cuteness overload. When we saw this orange octopus hanging on its own and I seemed to have a hard time putting it down, QT decided to gift me this. I later found out that it was a dog toy but that made it even more special and a living reminder of the quirkiness that we both shared. We made a final stop at the St Lawrence Market (I felt as if he could read my mind when hearing his suggestion). The man bought himself two sexy pieces of cheese and happily declared that this would be his presents for himself. I could have offered getting them for him. Would it have been too cheesy though ;) As we left the shop, QT secretly directed my attention to a guy sitting with his butt crease exposing. Classic lewd QT. I told him about the coffee shop that you could get freshly ground coffee in the lower level and he promised to give it a try next time. We came back to his apartment so I could get my charger. As I spoke to myself about one final check, he told me he did the same thing too and we decided to leave it at that (it was cute). He told me to wait for him while he was taking his shoes off so he could see me off at the door. We kissed and then parted ways. I got home and was happy to have leftover food for dinner (thit xiu mai + canh khoai tay + com chien kim chi). 

2. Thing I’m grateful for: such beautiful weather with lots of sunshine and cool breeze. And a handsome dude on my side who said the most romantic thing to me ever “You have a way with words”. Not sentence, but words and that’s all I’m killing for.

3. Thing I’ve learnt: number of sharks killed per year. It ranges around 150-200 millions per year. Both me and QT gasped at hearing this number during the Ray Bay feeding session.

I was so nervous about getting an adolescent dog - like, I was afraid he would pine for his last owner or not bond with me or be unhappy.

It's been not quite 4 months and Echo is very much my dog now. He's such a sweet little dude, we're doing a training class together on weekends, and he cuddles so sweetly in the morning. He's just a great little dude and he and Rip play for hours in the yard while I prep my classes and do calligraphy.

Ripley remains my best girl, and I still worry about giving them both quality time and solo adventures, but I'm so glad I brought this weird little man home💕
