#the bark is worse

[andaniellight]

one of the funniest gigs in pre-timeskip was that whenever Zoro tried to be considerate with the coward trio while handling their eager stupid captain is that this thing would bound to happen regardless of anything at all....

and then the aftermath would be like:

Not so gentle reminder that if you're standing there, and in front of you is a victim of assault and a victim of sexual assault, and when asked who went through the worse crime you point to the victim of sexual assault and not to both of them, you are a victim of Puritan values and you should really work on that.

Dog teeth

[ID: Art of Mob from Mob Psycho 100. He's standing beneath huge humanoid jaws, just so that the upper teeth are covering his head, and staring at the camera. Everything is red, the shadows mostly pitch black, save for Mob's irises, which are a bright green and yellow. End ID.]

[yuwuta]

yuuta exhibits such previously abandoned, recently adopted dog behavior. incredibly anxious all the time, even though nobody’s out to get him or leave him behind. waits for you to return home or from school or from work excitedly, just to see you when you walk through the door. follows you around senselessly, hovering in your space just for the sake of companionship. initiates affection in prodding ways—starts off next to you, then a hand on your thigh, then deems it safe to lay all the way down, then slowly pushes his head into your lap. gets up whenever you need to get up, and resumes his position as soon as you’re ready. brings you gifts as a sign that he’s thinking of you, and maybe because he likes the affection it brings out in you, maybe because he likes the gentle affirming touches of a hand in his hair or a pinch to his cheek. rests his head on your stomach or his chin on your shoulder when he’s sleepy, stays there, immobile, and will not move unless absolutely necessary. sometimes he gets surprised when he hears you calling for him, there’s a moment of disbelief as he thinks “me? really? you need me?” but it’s very quickly overshadowed by this compulsive need to show up, to please, to do anything for you, which is why he always answers when you call. he doesn’t realize that he has puppygod eyes, especially when he’s excited or confused, but he does and it’s incredible endearing. very reluctant to share your space or attention after a while, considers that to be sacred and he won’t risk being let go or lost again, so as a safety precaution, he keeps himself right by you, waits for you always.

Fandom: DCU (Comics) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Dick Grayson/Jason Todd Characters: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake Additional Tags: Tags May Change, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Identity Porn, Jason Todd is Red Hood, Rescue, Organized Crime, Canon-Typical Violence Summary:

The Red Hood is a mystery. Someone that came into Gotham out of nowhere and immediately carved out a piece of Black Mask's territories for himself, establishing himself almost immediately as someone to be respected. By all accounts, he's highly skilled, efficient, and incredibly dangerous. And no one has any idea who he is.

~~

Dick honestly doesn't remember most of his drive home. His mind's too caught up in thinking about the whole conversation, playing and replaying it over in his head until every word and term feels seared into his brain.

Working for Red Hood. Directly. That's… That's a lot more than Dick bargained for. He thought maybe he'd slip in under the radar, get a look at the Red Hood's operations from a distance, find some loose-lipped underlings that he could ply with a few drinks and some friendly banter to get a better look at the big picture. He wasn't looking to get any further involved than maybe a little selling or a little transportation, if he was lucky. He definitely wasn't expecting to actually come face to face with Red Hood himself. Why would he possibly be handling interviews for street-level operations while he was also busy taking apart the last of Black Mask's forces, right?

He wishes he knew what gave his disguise away.

I regret ever making a TikTok account because now I'm too scared to actually post about my main identity in fear of being recognized or "outed"

I really enjoyed using the app in 2022 to correct misinformation in the Therian community before it got worse. The community was still filled with quadrobics and all of the mask making, but informative videos from alterhumans would still be some of the first results if you checked the Therian tag. I could just state that I'm an animal and other creatures would be fine with that because they also didn't see themselves as human.

A few of my videos got way too much attention and went into the hundred thousands while two surpassed a million, causing me to gain over 20k followers, and before I knew it, I was shadowbanned for no reason. 2 years of posting videos and editing them were basically gone, and any new videos I posted barely surpassed a thousand.

Not only did I not want that much attention, but people who claimed to be therians started correcting me about MY identity and telling me to get help if I thought I was an animal? I also realized most of my followers were very young children and it made me really uncomfortable. I still have the account and post every few months, but oh my God the community is horrible. At least on there it is. It didn't help with my fear of being outed for having a paraphillia when literally nobody on there even understands what that means.

Thought crimes don't exist, and as much as I enjoyed talking with other necros on here, I just don't want to be chased off that app when I've put my face online.

Moral of the story, be wary of the communities you put yourself in. Will never be trying to gain attention on that app ever again.

i like to think that aos bones has an interesting relationship with parenthood...

especially pertaining to his relationship with jim. not that he sees jim as his son, necessarily (i don't think they're deliberately portrayed that way in canon, nor do i headcanon them like that, but honestly fandom is fun because we all have fun in our sandbox, so if anyone happens to see them that way, neat!)

but when you're a parent, and at the same time a parent friend, it's easy to take the path of least resistance when it comes to defining the undefinable relationship you have with this guy you can't seem to live without.

is he your captain? your best friend? your patient? a command prodigy and a tactical genius? a sight for sore eyes? your personal nuisance? the one and only person you can't seem to get rid of, who drags you places you hate and points out everything beautiful to you and beams like he won the lottery when you can't help but grin just a little, who brings the light back into places you forgot could be lit up like the dawn, who saw you at your worst while actively at his own worst, and plopped his fool ass down and decided you were worth fighting for?

and that's a lot of things. especially many when you're fighting tooth and nail to keep his scrap-happy ass intact and also keep an eye on a whole starshipful of people. it's a lot easier to stick to what you know-- whatever is the least risky, the safest option, one that could never possibly backfire and bite you in the ass. sometimes you forget he could see you as anything other than a parent (give or take the friend.) but parenthood goes hand in hand with grief. parenthood has its own set of burdens. but it's easy to put yourself in that box and pretend to forget about all the other boxes, collecting dust in the closet, and sometimes he prods at the closet door with something pleading in his eyes. you pretend not to see that, either.

...you don't take it well, when he dies.

guys I'm alive I promise im just a very stressed out dog at the moment 😭

[silverskye13]

um now that you mention it, my own hands start hurting after drawing for too long ,,, do you know where I could learn those stretches you mentioned ???

If you find that your hand/wrist/arm/shoulder get painful when you're working on art set a timer for 1 hour [if you feel severe pain, you should rest, but in lieu of that, set your timer for every half hour.]

Every time that timer goes off, you can go through these stretches. They're the ones I do, anyway:

Do this thing with your arm extended, grab the fingertips in your other hand and pull back. You should feel a gentle stretch in your forearm. I will hold both of those positions for around 10 seconds. You can hold for longer if you want a better stretch. Some people hold it for 20-30 seconds.

Then I repeat those stretches but with my palm facing inwards like this:

I like to curl my fingers when I do it too. Wiggle em around a little.

After that, place your palm flat on the table and bend your elbow at a 90° angle, like you're doing your best impression of an alligator crawling out of the water. [Or if you're a nerd like me, you can pretend you're summoning the jaguar from Road to El Dorado:

[getting on the ground isn't necessary for your dramatic recreation, you can do it on your desk. Anyway.]

With your elbow bent at the angle, you're going to push down gently on your palm and roll your wrist in a circle. This loosens up your elbow and your shoulder, as well as rotates your wrist.

After that, roll your shoulders a few times. Shrug them a few more.

Then extend your arms out to your sides [T-pose for dominance] and make circles with your arms. Big and small. You can do 10 big and 10 small, or just make circles to your heart's content.

Finally, wiggle it out. Pretend you're in grade school and your teacher just told you to wiggle out your energy. Do your best impression of a limp loose rubber goose. Just get silly. This is just to shake out any remaining stiffness, and gives you an excuse to stand up, if you haven't done so already.

If you're incorporating these stretches into your art routine, now is also a good time to take a drink of water. Stay hydrated.

Important things to remember:

At no point in time should these stretches cause severe pain. If you feel shooting pains, pins and needles in your hand/fingertips, or burning in your muscles, stop what you're doing and rest. That is your body telling you something is wrong and it wants time to heal. Whatever you're doing, it will wait.

Also, if you find you are resting, but everything still hurts, one thing I've done in the past is sleep with a wrist brace. This keeps your wrist/hand from flopping around and getting into awkward positions at night. If you too would like to sleep with a wrist brace, remember to keep the brace firm but loose. It should be firm enough to keep you from bending your wrist all the way, not so tight that it cuts off blood flow, makes you sore, or makes your fingers tingle. Especially if your joints swell at night.

This is not a magic fix for your wrist/arm issues. I am not a medical professional or a personal trainer. Do get help if you have pain that lasts more than a week, or at a severity that it impacts your daily life, or makes it hard to pick up objects.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Day 02: Lunar

It's good to get outside after a long stream session.

[rat-rosemary]

Mmmmmmmm Dnn au where Sapnap and George are both selkies and they haven't told Dream but he knows, and he doesn't blame them for not telling him, he gets it, and they always keep their furs hidden until one day someone breaks into their home and steals their furs, and while the two of them are freaking out because this is literally the worst case scenario ever and what are they going to even tell Dream, Dream goes after the guys and just kills them

Except Dream fucked up and now he's freaking out because he got fucking blood on their coats! He can't give the coats back with blood in them, that would be so rude and gross and what if the blood sticks to it after it dries????

So Sapnap and George suddenly feel a new pair of hands touch their coats, different from the ones that had grabbed and thrown it around and hidden. No, these hands tremble slightly as they touch their furs and they feel so familiar and then there's the feeling of water which... is very weird? What the fuck is happening to their coats??

But yeah, Dream washes the blood off and them puts the coats in the drier on a low setting with a bunch of towels (which is a very very weird feeling to Sapnap and George) and he leaves the coats on their beds without them seeing and now they kinda smell like the laundry cleaner Dream uses and it drives George and Sapnap insane (/pos)

perhaps i just need to lean into how surreal willingly worshiping an evil omnipotent dictator is, conceptually. it IS a comedy, after all
