#theyre like really friendly stray dogs

[fullfrontalfish]

met this giant freshwater pufferfish at the sheds aquarium the other day. he kept pressing his face up against the glass as my friends and i watched him, like full on smoosh. i cannot stop thinking about him

(also, i don’t think he’s sick or there’s anything wrong with him, since my friends and i came back later and he was just chilling in a corner minding his own business. he is just very special)

Dude freshwater puffers are just like that, they just bump into you and stare into your soul like <0—0>

Heinkel Astrea himself >:D

YALL REALLY WENT FOR ME WITH THIS ONE.... OKAY. LETS GO.

Sexuality Headcanon: i think it could be one of several possibilities. he could be straight... he could be on the aroace spectrum... he could be bi and not even know... but we do know what he is for certain..... hes louannasexual................................................

A ship I have with said character: heinkel/louanna PLS THEYRE MARRIED OKAY......... louanna really looked at the astrea family Baggage and still went "im still gonna marry this man <3".... and like the way heinkel speaks about louanna T^TT "reinhard is me and louannas treasure..." "dont take away louannas way home"... LIKE FUCK MAN..... heinkel may be a piece of shit now but he took like those marriage vows of like in sickness and in health SERIOUSLY. its been like twenty years and hes been searching for a cure for louanna all this time. it drives me BONKERS...

A BROTP I have with said character: ......................im pretty sure you know what im gonna say LMAO. YEAH. YEAH. ROWAN AND HEINKEL?? ROWAN IS THE BEST POSSIBLE BROTP THAT COULDVE EVER HAPPENED FOR HEINKEL. deadbeat alcoholic dads of extremely powerful teenage sons club??? theyre literally insane. i love how they first meet because its the most pathetic thing ever. like rowan just seeing heinkel half-dead in some ditch and just deciding to help this random ass guy??? rowan dragging heinkel away like when you grab a cat by its scruff??? heinkel going "this guy is smiling at me but its not mocking... i dont know what the fuck it means" because heinkel doesnt know what fucking FRIENDLINESS is anymore...... theyre insane. im excited for the development thats gonna come out of them meeting. they foil so much T^T

A NOTP I have with said character: anyone other than louanna :((((((((((((((( pls..... pls dont separate them shes already in a coma :((((((((((((((((((((((((( ......except ill make an exception for rowan and heinkel because. they have 95 mental illnesses and theyre ALWAYS making it everyone elses problem... theyd be so horrible together and i can only see it happening if theyre drunk and the world is literally gonna end. they are Terrible. but they Would be entertaining...

A random headcanon: heinkel gets sober in all the timelines where wilhelm is erased <33 because its like. wilihelm gets erased, heinkel and reinhards relationship is better, so its like.... things are a little better for heinkel now. obviously his whole complex feelings on reinhard are either lessened or erased entirely, but i also feel like heinkel got at least Some of his insecurities because of how wilhelm probably was as a dad. and bc wilhelms gone - WELP nice going heinkel half of your insecurities are gone!! so, well, maybe heinkel wants to be fully sober and present for reinhard now. he wants to be in reinhards life as his dad...

General Opinion over said character:

if i met him irl i would immediately pull a pridebaru and poison heinkel's drink. HOWEVER, i am also screaming and crying over heinkel's heartbreaking tragic corruption arc where he goes from a very earnest and hardworking person whos trying his best with all the shitty cards handed to him. and then he turns into *GESTURES TO PRESENT DAY HEINKEL*

i need him to get his shit together and have the most GRUELING, PAINFUL, NAIL BITING redemption arc of all time. he's just so fucking pathetic 24/7 it's like... like im sitting here and reading every scene hes in and im going, god hes like one of those sad dirty exhausted stray dogs you see backed into a corner and theyre just like growling and snapping at everything that comes close. like we vaguely know that its Possible for him to get his shit together at least a little bit (see: pride if), and we Know that heinkel used to be a very affectionate person to louanna and reinhard, and the fact that tappei said he'd make heinkel the mc if subaru didnt exist indicates that heinkels Probably gonna have some insane development, especially given the debut of the rowan-heinkel dynamic... i cant wait for it T^TT i just like how hes Terrible... but hes also clearly very human. what a well-written character. i hope he goes for anime onlys kneecaps in season three.

dndsona?

not sure if youre asking what that is or if you want more info but

tldr a dndsona is a reimagining of yourself/your persona in the dungeons and dragons universe. usually idealized obvs

mine is Fawkes, a tiefling ranger, werewolf ofc. heres the heroforge mini cuz i havent finished a ref yet

their fur/hair is black at the roots and lightens to grey at the tips and they dye their hair for funsies and to match their companions fur. in their werewolf form they still have hooves and horns! really gotta draw that

theyre nomadic, living mostly off the land but stopping at populated places often to trade. theyre chaotic good and often check out quest boards or whatever to help people out.

they also have a tendency to throw caution to the wind and do unsafe stuff cuz they figure theyll be fine dw about it. when in a group, their party members often have to stop them from doing stupid things like going to pet the gremishka (rip my bg3 party, at least my bfs tav is a paladin). they do have dubious morals tho, will absolutely steal things, isnt against justifiable murder (killing slavers), and is overall just kind of a freak. theyre friendly tho! just like a really weird but nice stray dog.

oh man i gotta take a screenie of them in bg3 to share.

[daenystheedreamer]

so in the context of that au what is theons relationship with ned and cat

ok it is complex.... theyre his legal foster parents and they consider him a son but but its distinctly different from the way they consider their biokids their children. and theon was like 12-ish when he got taken in so he already had a solid foundation of personhood, he has a 'real' family (who he has a horrible insane relationship with but theyre still his family!) and his 'im a burden' family that he knows took him in more because theyre kind and good people than because they love him specifically. he grew up feeling like a stray dog that they took in! yes they love him but in a pitiful almost dehumanising way, as if he is a concept rather than a human if that makes sense. because obviously when youre normal people and you wind up with a weirdo abused mafia brat with very obvious gender and sexuality problems tee-em youre gonna treat them with kid gloves like theyre glass like theyre a wounded animal!! idk if this is making sense.

PLUS this is throbb so theon+robb had a very weird brotherly/friendly/boyfriendly relationship which affected nedcat's idea of theon and theon's idea of family. theon more considered nedcat as "my friend robb's parents who i freeload with" as opposed to "my own legal parents who i live with as their son". i think ned and cat considered theon a brother to robb(+ the kids in general) more than a son of them if that makes sense, he's family in a very complicated way. and then here are these boys who THEY see as brothers who are clearly engaging in behaviour that is not brotherly (getting high and jerking each other off) which makes them go all pursed lipped which makes theon think they hate him and think that he's an outsider corrupting their perfect golden boy son

anyway specifically their relationship as adults... when theon turned 18 he was like Ok i will stop being your fucking burden you have to clothe and wash and theyre like cmon theon dont think that we love you. here let us show you that by clothing you and washing you but not hugging you and also pretty obviously disapproving of your relationship with robb. after theon reemerges from his horrible terrible ramsay year from hell they don't really know how to talk to each other. after ramsay, robb and theon sort of became essentially a couple (this post is already long enough i CANNOT go into my insane idea of their relationship basically its complicated) and now ned and cat have to reckon with the fact that throbb isnt just teenage sexual experimentation and it's like a real thing they cant just ignore. also they pay for his therapy but never have conversations with him about his problems(not that theon is like TRYING to or anything lol. he is actively working against it but yknow. complicated).

🍏🫐 normal fruits from the king of normal. also friendly warning that birthdays will be put in the calendar

thank goodness some normal and nonsuggestive fruits

🍏 - What's your favorite thing about being plural? If you don't have a favorite/don't enjoy being plural, use this as a free space to gush about whatever you'd like!

thinks really hard about whether i like this. i think im in a state where its hard to love anything right now (its past 9pm). i can come up with a few things i dont like but theyre all from outside and i know i wouldnt change this if given the chance. its nice to have someone around, anyone at all. im glad something loves me. did you know there's lots of stray dogs in chernobyl

🫐 - Do you celebrate any anniversaries? Syscovery, relationships, birthdays, etc? What do you typically do to celebrate?

me & stein & eq all have birthdays* :3 i think you know them already but february 7th, march 24th, and december 10th ! esco draugr & stevie dont know theirs rn, but we might work together and feel something out - everyone but mine was sorta chosen anyway. i try to make those dates dedicated times for whomever to front

*two birthdays and one wriggling day

[andragoras-in-vanity]

city people are fucking freaks, why do you hate life so much?

id much rather people be taking their pets out in public than their children but god forbid i say THAT out loud.

i cant do fuck all about my migraines when children start screeching in the middle of the grocery store but people who are allergic to animals can take pills for it if they know theyre leaving the house that day. obviously dogs should be well behaved so they're controllable should someone with a service animal be around, but thats common sense and common decency but like.....why do yall city folk gotta pitch a bitch fit about shops being dog friendly? or restaurants letting dogs be on a patio? or god forbid a theatre having dog hour???

like say youre from the city without saying youre from the city by throwing a tantrum about the fact a stray cat sat in the open kitchen door at the cafe. yall act like its a health issue but then never wash your hands or wear masks. as though anyone who doesnt live in the center of a city doesnt have about 13 mice in their walls at any given time as it is. animals in public is the least of anyones problems and it shows a real lack of understanding at the divide that capitalism and colonization in the west have caused between humans and the planet we live on when people complain about animals having the audacity to exist in public spaces. oh but i bet yall laugh at the fuckin videos of a seagul stealing a sandwich from the grocery store. (no i dont think dogs should be allowed in grocery stores unless the placement of stock like unwrapped veg is raised since allergens ingested can be a trigger regardless of medication, but a dog would have to actually lick the fruit or veg itself for that to happen, and if its not cut open already most dogs wont since the smell is different)

i really cant imagine being that far up my own ass that you think every dog you pass is going to bite you and yet crossing the street and getting hit by a car isnt even more plausible????? lmao and whered you get the idea anyone would kill a dozen homless people for the sake of a dog?? like girl you're drinking the peta koolaid for real or just making shit up to boost your point??? thats just NOT A FUCKING THING outside of like...seattle?? the homeless population tends to take better care of their animals than every suburban white woman ive ever met, and their animals are in public at all times!!!

anyway dont look at the notes cause the comments are just as fucking self righteous as op is, and my condolences to their dead braincells i guess.

I hate hate hate hate how dog friendly everything is in the city now. Barring medical necessity, there is no reason to bring your dog to a restaurant, there is no reason to bring your dog to the grocery store, there is no reason to bring your dog to the nail salon. Dogs do not need to go everywhere you go why am I being forced to be around dogs all the time

mothman, greedling, and double trouble for the ask meme!!

aayy! thank you so much!! I’m assuming you’re referring to this ask meme!!

Mothman:

Sexuality Headcanon: Panromantic/Asexual, i’m biased af i dont know what else to say Gender Headcanon: Moth A ship I have with said character: Me bitch, in my dreams A BROTP I have with said character: Totally see mothman chilling with the other cryptids, cept maybe jersey devil since they seem chaotic af  A NOTP I have with said character: I dont really know any other ships with mothman? so i have none currently A random headcanon: They big soft and will carry you as they fly around General Opinion over said character: I just love the idea of mothman, big humanoid bug cryptid/monster that tries to warn people about upcoming doom, love it Greedling: k so i see Ling as a separate entity so I’m just going to do the Greed part if that’s cool

Sexuality Headcanon: Pan all around, he wants everything god damnit!! Gender Headcanon: Cis man  A ship I have with said character: myself I dont mind the actual ship GreedLing I just see them as more of a brotp, other than that I dont really ship him with anyone A BROTP I have with said character: Ling and Ed lol  A NOTP I have with said character: I’ve never vibed with him and Envy. I’m also kind of iffy with him being with anyone that is a minor in the show. Like the guy is 200+ years old and he’s going to hook up with a 16 year old? come on A random headcanon: Greed can’t help it when he sees a stray animal, kittens in a bag? his now, stray dog? his now. It’s a mixture of remembering his old friends but also just bc he’s a good boy lol General Opinion over said character: Love the dynamic between him and Ling like A++. Just how Ling is greedy in his own way but also selfless when it comes to people he cares about and Greed can relate to him but doesnt think caring is that important/when he thinks about it it hurts his soul etc. anyway sorry for rambling, i just love greed!!

Double Trouble

Sexuality Headcanon: I can see them as either being Aro/bisexual or Bi all around Gender Headcanon: Nonbinary ofc A ship I have with said character: I don’t really have one  A BROTP I have with said character: I can see them becoming more friendly towards Scorpia and Catra after some time. I love this comic I saw where they babysit Catradora’s kid, love that hc!! A NOTP I have with said character: Don’t have one for this either A random headcanon: They’re street smart but theyre a fucking nerd when it comes to the arts  General Opinion over said character: Love them a lot, love their design, personality. As much as I love complex “villains” or antagonists, I do miss the straight-up “i dont care about morals” attitude and I love that DT is like that. They are straight-up Chaotic Neutral  Thank you again!!!

[kilmameri]

I saw @solange-lol doing this and it seemed fun so I wanted to do it too. Please do it yourselves too and tag me to it if you like, I won’t be tagging anyone. I’ve added my comments in chunks so theyre easier to delete. this is mostly me writing random garbage which isnt needed but i wanted to do

Rules: bold the statements that apply to you, italicize your aspirations

AIR: i have small hands • i love the night sky • i watch small animals and birds when i pass them by • i drink herbal tea • i wake to see dawn • the smell of dust is comforting • i’m valued for being wise • i prefer books to music • i meditate • i find joy in learning new truths from the world around me

What kinda aspiration is having small hands tho? :DD I love the night sky the most when it’s warm an dark, often when im like, on a trip. its not often both dark and warm where i live :D and i Love birds. today waiting for the bus i almost forgot where i was when i watched birds fly in flocks over us. theyre moving back here for spring! :D

also like,, waking early is so over appreciated. and i see the dawn plenty bc the sun rises at like nine o’clock in winter if at all like,,, i get that its more constant to ppl who live closer to the equator and actually means something. i would wake up to see the dawn tho for the stillness of the world tho if it was with someone but only in daydreams bc why get up early when u can stay up late? that last one abt truths like lmao we get it u deep but yea i love trivia

FIRE: i don’t have straight hair • i like to wear ripped jeans • i play an organized sport • i love dogs • i am not afraid of adventure • i love to talk to strangers • i always try new foods • i enjoy road trips • summer is my favorite season • my radio is always playing

i love curly hair. i have really thick and stiff straigh af hair and i sometimes wish it had Even Waves bc id love to look more messy-cute ya know? bc now its all clean partings, no stray hairs. it looks too formal for my taste and id like for it to have some personality. i know i could just curl it with an iron or get it done but yea,,, i dont care That much

like im constantly told im crazy brave and i guess this applies to me? like i Did move at age 16 to my own in a city i have never been in with no one there who knew me and just,,, didnt even care. i tell others what ive been up to and they ooh and aah and im like?? but yea it does feel nice to be considered adventurous

also i love weird foods and am Not picky. in ninth grade home ec my kitchen needed to design a three course meal and dear fucking god was that a mess. we had one vegetarian lactose intolerant peep, one who didnt eat random shit like onions and bell pepper bc they taste bad (???) and so if a recepie had even a slightest bit of that he insisted it be left out or didnt even listen to the full recepie. and one who like,,,, would Not eat any foregin food. he wanted Potatoes and sausages. im like??? this is the final home ec test? this is supposed to showcase our skills,,, and you want boiled potatoes and plain sausage? what a mess lmao

WATER: i wear bracelets on my wrists • i love the bustle of the city • i have more than one set of piercings • i read poetry • i love the sound of a thunderstorm • i want to travel the world • i sleep past midday most days • i love dimly lit diners and fluorescent signs • i rewatch kids’ shows out of nostalgia • i see emotions in colors not words

i moved to a city abt uhhh? half a year ago and i love it here :D theres nothing better than walking in the centrum with the pidgeons and street artists and ppl having a good time chatting and shopping

i used to sleep past midday but i try to not so much bc that worsens my mood a lot bc i feel really isolated spending so much of my time alone. but it is my natural way of being so i guess thats how it be sometimes

EARTH: i wear glasses/contacts • i enjoy doing the laundry • i am a vegetarian • i have an excellent sense of time • my humor is very cheerful • i am a valued adviser to my friends • i believe in true love • i love the chill of mountain air • i’m always listening to music • i am highly trusted by the people in my life

bad eyesight ://. i do kinda enjoy doing household chores when i have something to listen to or a call to be in but that hasnt been the case lately. i am not vegetarian but sometimes i do go days without eating meat by accident which i dont mind but like,,, yea. its bc i eat like, bread, noodles, cereal, and then there might be something vegetarian at school that i eat bc it looks like the tastiest food there

idk abt my humor? its kinda spicky, insulting to some. but i dont mean it its like friendly banter. but i put it on with ppl who arent friends of confy with that sometimes and i dont mean to honestly

AETHER: i go without makeup in my daily life • i make my own artwork • i keep on track of my tasks and time • i always know true north • i see beauty in everything • i can always smell flowers • i smile at everyone i pass by • i always fear history repeating itself • i have recovered from a mental disorder • i can love unconditionally

never really liked makeup, too much work for a thing i cant really tell is even there. the flashy types of makeup i dont like so much. also im already cute af

ive been told im organized as hell by my peers and i dont get it. thats just?? how i naturally do things. it like,,, is Impossible for me to put things in their wrong places. if its hard to put where it belongs then i dedicate a “pending” spot for it in a place thats easy. and i hate notebooks and instead use a binder filled with loose leaves that i can edit as much as i like :3

thanks for reading, hmu if u wanna say something abt the things i wrote. ill read it

[spotsies]

my spot headcanons

- hes really superstitious. most of the brooklyn newsies are. he believes in luck and he has all his own little customs about it like its bad luck if you sell in the morning fog or if you dont count your papes as well as the usual stuff. 

- hes autistic. this ties into the customs, he gets really anxious if he doesnt do his rituals and habits. he genuinely hates the feeling of sleeves as a textural thing, but its more like. he didnt wear sleeves so long that when he tried again he hated it, not that he hated sleeves so much he cut them all off. he has trouble telling when people are fucking with him so hes pretty blunt and usually reacts with an ass kicking. 

- he has a way with animals. hes kind of notorious for the fact that there are always a few stray dogs hanging around wherever he is, and a few that live permanently in his usual haunts (the docks, places he plays cards, the lodginghouse he sleeps near). hes friendly with them, and his newsies are too, and he loves em. theyre also kind of intimidating when people come to visit. but hes also befriended pigeons and trained them, the gulls at the docks hover near him, the street cats hang around too and animals just generally. trust him. hes really good with them and he can read their body language well.

- hes homeless. the brooklyn newsies have the highest rate of Sleeping On The Streets out of any borough, and his personal need for privacy while he sleeps (hes like...an outgoing high energy introvert) plus the fact he doesnt wanna take a bed from a kid who needs it more plus his Tough Image means he generally sleeps in alleys or on balconies/fire escapes if its warm. he swaps out where newsies sleep, so that everyone gets a chance to have a night inside at least once a week.

- he has a pet rat named mugsy. he was sitting in an alley one day, pretty stressed and anxious, tryna eat his lunch and calm down when he saw this little brown rat foraging in the garbage and he offered it some food and it came over and he pet it for a while which calmed him down and when he had to go and do business he took it with him as a comfort thing. imagine him sitting with a rat in his lap, stroking it like a supervillain, but its really just bc its comforting. anyway now he takes mugsy w him everywhere and carries him either on his shoulder, in his paper bag, in his hat or just in his hands

- he had a lisp as a kid. it was cute. he grew out of it eventually. he can also whistle really well through the gap in his teeth, and its one of the ways he gets everyones attention in brooklyn. 

- hes really smart. not book smart, so much. but he is so strategically minded, and everything to him is just a puzzle that needs solving. its why he makes such a brilliant leader, and how he has so much power. he thinks fast, hes a good problem solver, he comes up with solutions other people dont think of. bc of this it sometimes looks like hes just throwing himself into shit, but really he knows exactly what hes doing. he doesnt panic if he doesnt have a plan for something bc hes confident hell be able to figure it out as he goes. but he never jumps into something if he isnt sure hes going to come out on top. hence the strike.

These Westminster Kennel Club Contestants Are Doggone Crazy Looking

Hundreds of breeds of dogs are competing at the 141st Westminster Kennel Club show this week in New York,but only one can be top dog. And to be the dog that has that day, you have to stand out.

The Huffington Post headed to the competition floor Monday to check out some of the unusual breeds vying for Best in Show, and to learn what makes them the baddest.

Chinese Crested

Nina Golgowski

Meet Neo and Cooper, Chinese crested dogs. Neo is a hairless version; Cooper is a powderpuff.

At first glance, 7-year-old Neo (left) and 1-year-old Cooper (right) seem like different breeds, but theyre both Chinese crested.Neo is a hairless version, and Cooper is called a powderpuff.

Both dogs require very little care beyond typical grooming, their owners said, though Neo occasionally needs some shaving of stray hairs.

If Neo looks familiar, you may recall another famous Chinese crested named Sweepe Rambo,which won last years Worlds Ugliest Dog contest. Sweepe Rambo had a charm thats perhaps more unconventional than the standards sought at the Westminister Kennel Club, however.

Bergamasco Sheepdog

Nina Golgowski

This is Tinia, a 6-year-old Bergamasco from Pennsylvania.

This mop-like dog boasts an impressive body of hair that resembles dreadlocks.

Despite the high-maintenance look, handler Rachel Wagner told HuffPost theyre pretty hands-off. The strands, in fact, mat together on their own.

Its surprisingly little work to maintain his coat, Wagner said, showing off 6-year-old Tinias thick locks, which feel surprisingly soft and light.

Nina Golgowski

Bergamasco sheepdogs require little hair maintenance, one handler said.

Wagner said the breeds coat is almost dirt-resistant and requires a bath maybe twice a year.

The hardest work is drying them which is important, as their coats can mildew if left wet, Wagner said. Wagner said shes used industrial-strength carpet dryers or several box fans to help dry their coats after a bath.

Bouvier des Flandres

Nina Golgowski

Jagger is a 4-year-old Bouvier des Flandres.

Bouvier des Flandres are large farming dogs. Their double coat requires quite a bit of maintenence. We caught up with 4-year-old Jagger, whose face could barely be seen beneath a wall of black hair.

Nina Golgowski

The brushing and combing seemed unending for Jagger.

Its a lot of work, Jaggers handler said as she relentlessly combed, blow-dried and trimmed his fur. A nearby 2-year-old Bouvier, meanwhile, was getting his feet washed.

Irish Wolfhound

Nina Golgowski

Ghost is an 18-month-old Irish Wolfhound who’s not yet fully grown.

These massive dogs are among the biggest in the world, and the tallest of all American Kennel Club-recognized breeds.

Ghost, an 18-month-old pooch whose paws appeared to be slightly larger than my fists, was described as about 185 pounds and still growing, according to her owner,Julie Schaeffer, of Buffalo, New York.

Schaeffer said Ghost is one of eight Irish Wolfhounds she owns. All of them are indoor pets.

Its like bumper cars getting to the coffee pot in the morning, she said with a laugh.

Nina Golgowski

Seaford is a 6-year-old Scottish Deerhound. These dogs are typically smaller than Irish wolfhounds.

Those who love the Irish wolfhounds appearance, but maybe not the breeds horse-like size, may want to consider a Scottish deerhound. A 6-year-old named Seaford was described by his owner as full grown and around 105 pounds. Still, hes no travel-friendly companion.

When he puts his paws on my shoulders, hes taller than me, and Im 5-8, so hes a good-sized dog, owner Lynn Kiaer told HuffPost.

Brussels Griffon

Nina Golgowski

Sarita is a 4-year-old Brussels griffon from Long Island, New York.

These toy dogs are typically seen with much more facial hair, making 4-year-old Sarita of Long Island, New York, unique and beautiful in her own way. Her owner described her as a head breed.

She really has the most beautiful head, and beautiful face and nice expression as you can tell, Saritas owner said.
