For now can't decide in this round of @daddiest-tolkien-elf so I'll do Finarfin first... for this poll in particular bringing back the Finarfin I like to talk about, so adding bits from this post:

*Imagine* Finarfin sailing towards Beleriand, to the place he turned back from when it all began. His wife's kin died for it. His brothers (and possibly sister) are dead. Most of his nephews are dead. His sons are all dead, the only solace being Galadriel who still lived. Finarfin is wisehearted and soft-spoken, but Finarfin is also imbued with the might of Valinor from the elder days, and has stayed by the side of the (still powerful) Valar after darkness came. I see him silently stepping onto the shores of Middle-earth. I see the lines of anger long-buried changing his face. I see him looking towards Eönwë and all the other Maiar and the Vanyarin kin of his mother, and I see the temperance of the youngest king of the Noldor in Aman turned to the flame within all the children of Finwë. I see him wild and golden in bloodied armor and shouting war cries hoarse with grief, my siblings in Eru Finarfin has Retribution Paladin energy for days.

The War of Wrath lasted for years. It might've been a short span of time for an Elf, but I want to see the parallel between Finarfin in Valinor and Finarfin by the end of it.

and

Also he has p.o.w.e.r.s like, consecration AOE blasting enemies to smithereens all around him whenever he funnels his pain into it and binding tethers of energy my boy's a powerhouse who finds it particularly exhilarating to end a certain type of Sauron's minions... I like to think (HC) he knows how Finrod died by the time he gets to ME.

+ the messiest doodle of Finarfin fighting a (were)wolf per @searchingforserendipity25 in this post

So is he daddier than Adar? I don't know, but for sure at one point he showed up and EFFED-SH-UP

Daddiest Tolkien Elf: Round One

Adar versus Finarfin:

Adar:

His name literally means 'father'. I mean, come on.

Literally Lord Father. Daddy inside and outside four walls. Sexy evil Uruk. Optional: you can call him Adar for extra spice? Even Atya if you’re feeling extra spicy and in the mood for Quenya?

The name says it all (in Sindarin)

Adar is just sexy.

Finarfin:

He is the ONLY ONE with the good sense not to get involved in everybody else's shit, and just does his own thing, which is honestly supreme big dick energy

Feel free to add more propaganda and tag me (@daddiest-tolkien-elf), so I can reblog it here! Or send in an ask!

We're learning about grouse hunting together!

I was really undecided on whether I wanted to hunt with Rory for realsies because I don't have a shotgun and I don't really care to get a shotgun (I have a gun license from my time up north). I have a small air rifle and a tactical slingshot (both legal for hunting small game in my area) so I've been taking those for walks in hunting areas, along with all my permits and stuff, just to see what we see.

This grouse woods is in the same corner as my swamp, just a different part of the rec area. You can legally hunt small game during the open season with dogs with some restrictions (certain distance from the parking, some trails close for hunting on a rotational basis for maintenance, etc.) but it's not terribly popular so it's a really good area to learn. We are looking for ruffed grouse and rabbit, both of which are super common out here.

With pointing dogs like britts, you generally don't want to shoot any game unless they're pointing steady (*except when doing gun conditioning, but that's a specific training set up) - it makes sense because a shot bird is the ultimate reward and you want to make sure you're reinforcing the behaviour you want, which is usually a safe steady point. Rory isn't pointing steady yet so there's really not much for me to do on these walks besides reinforce good manners (recall, how far she ranges, etc.).

There's a really well known saying in pointing dogs, which is wild birds make bird dogs. Wild birds flush (fly away) much more reliably than farmed birds so the chances of a dog catching a wild bird is really minimal compared to farmed birds. It's super important to get young bird dogs on wild birds as much as possible so they learn all the important skills: how to navigate terrain, what habitat holds birds, what each bird species smells like, how far they can range, and most importantly, that they need a person to actually get a bird.

(Most of these skills can be taught with planted birds in training, but planted birds may be more habituated to people and dogs so they might not flush reliably. Once pointing dogs learn that they can catch birds themselves, it's much harder to foster a strong stop and point. You might see people using these tip ups, which protect the training bird from the dog. You'll often see training dogs on long lines (called check cords) or with a flank collar to reinforce not getting too close to the bird, but you have to phase those out quickly so the dog doesn't become dependent on them. You also have to be really careful with scent trails when setting up planted birds or you might end up with a dog that follows your scent instead of looking for birds organically. And of course, you have to train without birds sometimes so the dog doesn't get discouraged about not finding birds quickly because sometimes there just aren't birds out there. Lots to consider when setting up training!)

Anyway I've been trying to get Rory out on wild birds as much as possible (with the caveat that we don't run wild birds during nesting season) so we're wandering the grouse woods lately. My early recall training is really paying off because she's been super reliable in terms of good manners, it's wonderful to see!

We've been out four times (1-2 hours each) so far since the season opened. The first two times we're mostly just a pleasant walk in the woods, Rory didn't really know what we were doing so she was just vibing (THIS IS TOTALLY FINE, SHE'S NEW TO THIS). We had a couple chance grouse encounters and I could see the wheels turning, I encouraged her to sniff around where the grouse were sitting before they flew off and I watched her start to connect the dots.

(It's important to remember that dogs don't know what they're looking for until you show them. Most bird dogs are naturally birdy, but they don't know which birds are good and which birds are boring! You have to show them which birds you care about - this is easiest if you can run with an experienced hunting dog, but you can do it alone like I am by making a big deal about any interest in the "correct" birds.)

The last time we went out to the grouse woods, she did a couple of really nice whip-arounds when she caught scent she liked and followed scent off the trail I was walking! This is the behaviour I want to see so it was awesome to watch it start to click! She trailed a moose (don't want that, she found some moose pee to roll in so whatever), a pileated woodpecker (again, don't want that but it was cool to see), and two separate grouse. The first was on the wrong side of the fence so I couldn't do anything about it but she held a really nice point (the photo) and I gave her a ton of chicken and praise for it. The second was a quick point but it flushed really far away so there was no finding it again. Both birds weren't visible when she found them, they were true scent points and she was strategically looking for them so that was super cool!

She's still in heat and super sensitive right now so I wouldn't shoot over her anyway, but I'm getting pretty accurate with my slingshot so I'm hoping we can connect on something this fall - both for her pointing steady and me aiming properly. She gets more steady and more sure of herself every time we go out so it's only a matter of time!

Much like Snack Attack this is kind of a chain in my simverse but I have never made a cc free version. Just a little too attached to @mspoodle1​ conversions of Chisami’s yoga stuff for TS4. Can’t help but use that set every time. You’ll notice the yoga room is a little spare in this version because I am plotting on using it in my own.

Finally went and watched Zero Tea Time and like, how is this man still functioning at all??? If we're to assume that Furuya sleeps about 2 hours a night regularly, I'm sorry but this man would in no way shape or form be able to do what he does. - Sincerely, someone who has legitimately slept 3AM to 5AM regularly for several months due to having pre-existing sleep issues and a job that started at an ungodly time.

Like, yes I get that I shouldn't be thinking too deeply since anime logic, but also on this same schedule I felt like I was about to die by week 3 and was essentially a human zombie with my mental health down the sink by week 6(and technically I was sleeping more than 2 hours since I would take some naps as well) so I have some strong feelings about this. Hell, there's no way this man would be able to keep track of what time it is let alone all his jobs and secrets with that amount of sleep. Even if we go under the assumption that he sleeps 3-4 or even 4-5 hours usually and the 2 hours was a special case this man would still not be able to make all those deductions and chase all those criminals. Sure you won't feel as shit, but you definitely will still be feeling quite shit.

No wonder this man depressed and insane with a sprinkling of anger issues and seems to be constantly lowkey disassociating in Zero Tea Time. Yes most of it is because he's the only one left and is horribly traumatized but also like Furuya, have you considered taking a nap? It doesn't solve the trauma, but give yourself 8-10 hours of proper sleep and you'll be waking up ready to take on god.

As a side note, are there fics where Furuya is severely sleep deprived and how that impacts him? Because so far I haven't seen any but I also don't usually go out of my way to find Furuya centered fics. Because if there isn't I'll write one myself, not enough chronic sleep deprivation rep round here in general. Mans mother hens everyone around him, he deserves someone to mother hen him back to force him to sleep because the world will not in fact end if he takes some time off.

i fucking haaaaate therapists . i’m at my wits end and atp just have zero respecy for them anymore. shitty court ordered shrink blew up at me for having 1312 on my emotional support backpack™️ and that’s just. so unprofessional? not my fault you take personal offence to my opinion, twat. then she had the audacity to call me rude and disrespectful for answering questions i did not know the answer to with “i dunno” and answering vaguely to creepy and personal questions?? like no you do not need to know what brand of deodorant i use????! and she dared to insult me by saying i should grow up and stop carrying around toys (my beloved felt frankie i got as a present from my 2nd mom) . and this is the same chick that told me unprompted how she rolled into fucking cat diarrhoea. .. yeah fuck you. never seeing your goofy ass again. i’ve only had shitty experiences with therapists and now i’m convinced the state of nebraska is filled with horribly unequipped people. the only guy i ever clicked with was a psychiatrist that doubled as a psych and holy shit. he was fucking amazing. maybe it was because he kinda. talked to me like a child. ? (i’ve learned that acting like a child is much more productive for me than acting like an adult. because i was adulting as a child and never got to experience Fun) and actually cared to work slowly with me bcuz holy shit. i’m not gonna open up to a rando. and i legit cried when he left for greener pastures :( he was just an intern too. that fucker was cooking. miss that guy

also re: recent horror, mainstream movie giant penis monster, sure, but also that guy from the kissing booth films gets mpreg and his dick blow up. what is in the water this last few years that male directors are like this?

like i have jokingly said that modern filmmakers are cowards and we should go back to 70s and 80s dick and bush on screen, why is gross out comedy body horror the choice being made ??
