#they raised such polite boys

Honestly wild how Mob is the firstborn. Imagine birthing an eldritch creature that makes everything in the room float, can probably shatter all the glass in the house in a single moment, and warp all of the kitchen utensils, and thinking … yeah, I want another one.

You ever think about how 03 Splinter literally didn’t have to stay in third earth New York? Like, he knew how to make a portal to travel to the Nexus, was sit-at-my-right-hand level of friends with the Diaymo. It feels like he literally could have rolled up shortly after mutation, said “Hey Bro, this wild thing happened and I need a place to go where me and my brood won’t be dissected if caught”.

I reason it is because Splinter is too wildly polite that he couldn’t force himself to impose on his friend like that. Or by the time it occurred to him, they were kind of already settled as a family and it felt more disruptive to try and move. It’s just something I think about sometimes.

I wanna say I did get a chance to speak with Tkachuk. He tells me that he's kinda been going all night with the celebrations here! They were at the rink late last night, obviously enjoying that trophy ceremony, but he says they've been nonstop. In fact, he's good friends with the bartender out here at the Elbo Room. He calls him early this morning and says, "Hey, what time do you guys open?" So, he shows up here at 8 in the morning, and he and his teammates have been really celebrating ever since.

youre telling me this guy called up the bar to ask what time they open i supposed its 5pm somewhere 😭😭😭

Thinking about my dumb OCs ever since I saw a video of two guys trying to demonstrate the kabedon and one of them could not stop laughing...

Ronance jealousy when the relationship is secret is exquisite. Boys flirting with Robin thinking she's single while Nancy seethes. Men suddenly trying to kiss Nancy out of nowhere, sometimes even succeeding, thinking she's up for grabs despite her girlfriend being right there - though she can't defend her as anything more than a friend. Maybe jealousy isn't the right word. It's an intrusion. It's men trying to come between them, even without knowing they're together, even thinking they get to want them and that they get to pursue them.

But I think it's even worse when the relationship is pretty much not secret. Maybe they're tired. Maybe they have their families to support them if something goes wrong, so they're not as scared. Maybe they still won't kiss or hold hands in public, but they don't go out of their way to quell any rumors because, why would they? They're normal teenage girls, they're not doing anything wrong. But they're such a novelty that everyone in school knows, and suddenly, when someone tries to flirt with one of them, it's inherently violent. Especially when the other one is right there. And she can say "excuse me?" and "she's with me. get lost" all she wants but she'll always get as an answer a "shut up. I'm not talking to you". This doesn't happen to boys. A young man wouldn't so openly try to get into a girl's pants with her boyfriend right there. He'd get his teeth punched in if he tried. It's a weird, hormonal mixture of fear, violence and respect, all things a teenage girl seems incapable of exerting. The thing with these people, which is worst of all, is that they're not even all that disgusted by them. If they were disgusted, at least it'd mean they aknowledge they're doing something. Their relationship may be detestable to them but at least they'd understand it's real. By pursuing them, it shows how, in reality, they don't think they're more than two friends playing family, or two frigid prudes so scared of relationships with men they come up with this little game to try to feel fulfilled. Confused girls at most who just need to be with a real man for once to see what they're missing. Or they don't even think that much about it - it's just a joke to them. They laugh at it. Girlfrends? Sure, whatever, now buckle up, Buckley!

hades 2 is extremely funny if you think about it from chronos' perspective. like imagine. for YEARS you've been getting things done your way. you and your army have been holding strong against the olympians, and your son who caused so much trouble before, along with his family, are in your hold and have been since the beginning. you have control of the underworld, and of the house of hades, and you're reaching for olympus, sure that too, will be under your control soon enough

then. SUDDENLY. your captive son's missing daughter turns up out of nowhere. initially, she's no threat. can't even get past her own mentor, most likely. then, she quickly gets stronger. she learns, and the olympians support her unconditionally. she starts tearing through the underworld, escaping every trap you've laid, invading your house which was supposed to be impossible for everyone else except for the daughter of hades who still lives and who escaped your clutches as a mere infant.

suddenly you're left scrambling because this is not according to plan. she's not supposed to be here, nevermind the one person who poses a threat to your progress. she's like half your height and barely a full witch, but still.

just read your tags on the lab post, and omg I thought I was the only one who had a golden retriever who doesnt like water! He loves retrieving stuff from the water but won't go any deeper than the bottom of his chest! Weirdo!

Yes!! Jake was a rescue golden we had years ago. Very very good boy, hated water. We'd take him to the river for swimming and he'd only go in to fetch, and even then never deep enough he'd have to swim.

Here is he over a decade ago, with Russell ♡

Meanwhile Cooper is my parents' current dog, we got him as a puppy (i say we but I was there at the time, he's MY BOY even tho I haven't seen him for years). He is a typical golden in that he LOVES water he LOVES mud!!

Thanks for coming to my dog talk

Here's a puppy coop also

God I wish my brain didn't shut down the moment I try to actually write down anything about my OCs/ideas/etc. I've got some freaks knocking around in here y'all would go wild for.

back in the 80s and 90s they kept trying to shoehorn Scott Bakula into Manly Man male lead roles because he was built like a cartoon action hero and he is so extremely miscast in all of these roles because despite said body he has the vibes of a man who apologizes to furniture after bumping into it

the fanon sibling perception of a seven sibling fam re: the Feanorians is really funny from the perception of one of seven, particularly Maedhros and Maglor. No I will not elaborate

principal difference between hellblazer/nbc constantine and 2005 keanu constantine imo, besides keanu constantine being american, is their attitudes toward food.

hellblazer/nbc constantine: pub food and hearty shit, meat and potatoes and stews and fish. appreciates a good meal, the effort/time it takes to cook it, and the social rituals that revolve around it. also has a taste for the finer things in life and will scam his way into high-end restaurants to fuck around and embarrass everyone there while eating goooood keanu constantine: runs on dunkin, lox bagels, and not much else. cannot keep things in his fridge or they will rot before he remembers to eat them. obliterates a mcdonalds hash brown in a single bite

Hi there! Quick question, how much dog aggression would be normal for malamutes? At what point does it become something other than a breed trait? Is this comparable to other breeds with SSA?

Well I don't really know how to compare it with other breeds with SSA, just because I don't have experience with them.

Speaking generally, MOST adult dogs of any breed are dog selective to some degree, often preferring several compatible companions or friends over large groups of strange dogs.

A temperamentally sound malamute should generally be able to be walked on a leash past other dogs (no contact or greeting) and not be reactive. This is not a dog that should, in temperamentally sound cases, be straining to reach other dogs far off with single focus. Where the issue lies is in close contact, greeting, and interactions with strange dogs and/or dogs of the same sex.

Malamutes are very much oriented towards their pack and much like other sled dogs do very well when raised in a family structure. It is difficult to integrate a new adult dog into an existing pack of malamutes versus a puppy. Part of this is because malamutes do have their own form of communication, like many breeds do, and dogs raised outside of that communication can be deemed as "rude" or in need of telling off from the existing dogs, which creates conflict and an overall lack of harmony. Overall in this behavior an existing dog is much less tolerable of dogs of the same sex. And generally, Malamutes thrive and enjoy fighting when it occurs (see: trends towards running into conflicts not having to do with them in dog parks).

Same Sex Aggression behaviors can be on a sliding scale, much as other dog aggression, and I'd say all forms are present in the Malamute breed. For me personally I prefer if the dog can work in harness/team with other dogs as this is part of their purpose, however there are many in the breed that are both temperamentally stable, and absolutely cannot tolerate other dogs of the same sex in any regard. Now I personally wouldn't breed those individuals, but the dog would probably do well paired with an opposite sex dog as its only other non-human companion.

For me, indiscriminate dog aggression not related to "rude" behaviors or same sex interactions is not okay in the breed. Malamutes, although often same sex aggressive, should also never be human aggressive.

Am re-reading Hogg's Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner and I know it's not a new or original thought but it's just striking to me again how young George (younger) and his brother Robert must have been during the tennis match and Black Bull mob scenes.

If the 'famous session' refers to the 1703 session of parliament (or even if it refers to the previous year's sitting which Queensberry also oversaw), and if old Dalcastle married in 1687 (or later), then at most George could have been 16 and his brother 15, and it's probable that both boys are younger.

I don't remember too many of the details from the first time I read this book so will have to finish it before I make any further judgement. However I don't think it detracts from Robert's culpability or nastiness in any way to take into account his probable age in the earlier portion of the narrative. I think makes for a more interesting reading when forcibly reminded that he's a young teenager. Even taking into account different social mores and expectations placed on children in both the period in which the novel is set, and the early 19th century when it was written, it seems to me that that's an element that will still have particular significance for readers in the 21st century, regardless of one's personal experience with extreme forms of Presbyterianism.
