Taken Care Of [Jenna Ortega x GN! Reader]

Summary: You show Jenna how capable you are of watching over your home while she's gone (Yeah fucking right!). You also prove that you are the one that's best suited to take care of her.

Warnings: Fluff, little cursing

************************************************************************

“There she is! There goes… the girl that I … enjoy…”

Jenna just looked at you.

“There goes my cinnamon sugar queen.”

“….”

“My baby girl… my tall mocha latte.”

“We both know I’m not tall. Are you fucking playing with me right now?”

“I meant tall as in the Starbucks cup size… get it? Cause your so sh-“

Jenna took a step towards you.

“Ok! Shutting up now!”

“Really? Not gonna ask how I’ve been? What I’ve been up to? I just got home.”

That was a loaded question and you both knew it. But instead of saying anything that may get her to snap you decided to play along and hope that you could talk her down.

“Heyy, honey… how’s it going? How was your trip?”

“It was fun! The trip was good! But as for feeling… I’m left wondering.”

“yeah?”

“Yeah… I’m wondering why my mattress is on FIRE ON MY DRIVEWAY!!!”

“Now I can explain-“

“Explain. Now.”

"See what had happened was that piss had gotten onto the mattress-"

"What???"

"So me being that loving lover of yours, I decided to take the initiative and clean it up myself!"

"And how'd that work out for you, you big dumb idiot?" Jenna asked through that hooded eyed stare of hers. She couldn't decide on whether she should kick your ass or roast you. It looked like it would be both in a minute.

"Quite well, actually! Well.. up to the point where I drown the bed like the titanic. I think I went a little crazy with the water and soap."

"A little?"

"Ok maybe a lot." You acquiesced.

"Ok were gonna skip over the part where your GROWN ASS GOT PISS ALL OVER OUR BED and get to the part where you set it on fire even though it WAS FUCKING SOAKED!!"

Well so much for not setting her off.

"Ok well long story short, I decided to use all the blow dryers we had (all of two really) and cranked them up to MAXIMUM POWAH. I was duel wielding those bitches like John Wick, you should've seen it. It was going great...a little too great as you saw."

"...well this has to be a new record of yours. I've never wanted to throttle you so hard so soon after coming back."

"J-jenna, baby! Let's be reasonable here-."

"REASONABLE??!!!!" She shrieked at the top of her lungs, "I was being reasonable when I asked you to explain why I shouldn't catch a murder charge over your dumbass and what did you give me? 'I pissed on the bed, drowned it, then set it on fire’. Then you had the nerve to leave it on the driveway..." She now grabbed her head in both hands to stave off the oncoming headache. You would console her at this point but you were more focused on what she said.

"Jenna... I never said I pissed on the bed." You called out and she looked at you with more irritation and a healthy amount of concern.

"Y/N... are you telling me SOMEONE ELSE peed on the bed?"

*Bark* *Bark*

Jenna's eye widened and she whipped around behind and stared towards the kitchen. She looked back at you to look for what you assumed was a confirmation but that was taken out of your hands by the surprised you had planned for her.

*Bark!* *Bark!* *Bark!*

Jenna ran towards the kitchen in a hurry and you followed at a more leisurely pace. When you got to the kitchen you saw her eyes lighting up as she turned towards you, arms full with the cutest, chubbiest, most wrinkly baby bulldog the world had ever bore witness to. Her eyes were tearing up as she looked towards the salmon dinner you cooked for her along with the unlit candles, the flowers, and the chocolates on the counter.

"I already got the chocolates and flowers you had delivered to me while I was away. Valentine's Day already passed you didn't have to do this." She croaked out, voice thick with emotion as she tried to fight off the tears.

She had the most beautiful smile on her face and the love in her eyes made any pain you had ever felt in your life worth feeling just to be here in this moment. Despite your heart nearly beating out of your chest, you had a witty remark already forming on your tongue.

"Did you really think you could escape my icky gooey lovey-dovey wrath by skipping town? No chance in hell! Ain't that right, Doug?"

"Doug?"

"Yeah I named him Doug. I think it fits, no?"

Jenna just mulled it over while looking over the puppy's cute face.

"Doug... Doug-man." She whispered

"The DougMeister." she continued.

"Douggin and Buggin'" You returned.

"Dougie" She said and you both looked at each other and gasped as you came to the same conclusion.

************************************************************************

'Teach me How to Dougie' blasted through the speakers as the new family of three danced in the living room while the furniture people replaced the bed with a better one. You had ordered it with same day delivery. They even took care of the now no longer burning mattress on the drive way! The night ended beautifully in your eyes. Jenna and you had that romantic, candle lit dinner that you had set up. She held your hand from across the dinner table as she needled and made funny of your ridiculously absurd struggle of setting up what was supposed to be a mostly simple surprise.

You bantered back like always and got a few more laughs out of her. After dinner, you continued to dance and play around with Doug all the while taking cute photos on the polaroid you bought just for the occasion. Jenna always went on about how she wanted to start a photo album and tonight was as good a night to start as any in your opinion.

Pretty soon, little Dougie was all tuckered out and was soon put to bed. That left you and Mama all alone...

Jenna stared at you with her eyelashes fluttering. She twirled a piece of her hair with her finger as you stared back at her.

"Well. It's pretty late and I'm sure your tired." You began only for your girlfriend to shake her head no.

"Nah. Not tired yet. But I bet you could help with that."

"Oh my?"

"Wanna help me break in the new bed?" She smirked at you with a devious look in her eyes that made your face light up like a Christmas tree.

"Yes, ma'am!"

************************************************************************

A/N: And that's that! A bit late for valentine's but here it is! I hope you like it and I'll see you when I see you!.

[cannibalcaprine]

For how goofy they look on the surface, there are a lot of subtler design elements on 40k titans that are amazing

yeah!! for every flat bulldog head, there's also deeply laid details to convey how fucking huge the things are

[booklovershouse]

Oiii, booklovers!

Obviamente, vcs já sabem do meu hobby mais básico, ou seja, ✨ler✨ - afinal, sem isso o blog nem existiria ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ - maaaas, tenho mais alguns. Uma boa parte está relacionada à livros e o resto tem mais a ver com arte. Enfim, sou uma pessoa cheia de veias artísticas kkkkkkk

💎| Pintar marca-páginas e capas de caderno

Esse é um hobby que depende muuuuuito do meu "estado de espírito" e geralmente é feito nas férias. Às vezes eu até pego um caderno/marca-página que já pintei, limpo e pinto de novo (como estou fazendo agora).

As minhas tintas estão todas vencidas há anos, mas ainda uso - se algum dia eu morrer, vcs sabem oq foi. Tbm tô precisando comprar uns pincéis, pq os meus de ponta fina já foram de "arrasta pra cima" faz tempo!

💎| Organizar a Amazon e o Skoob

Já falei das minhas 1001 listas de livros na Amazon, mas tbm temos que contar com as estantes do Skoob, né? Namorar as listas da Amazon e organizar as estantes do Skoob por autor/série e cor (exclusivo para os "quero ler") é um hobby totalmente diferente de ler, mas tbm é bem relaxante, garanto.

💎| Escrever

Eu sou praticamente viciada em escrever desde que aprendi a pegar num lápis. Quando tinha 11/12 anos, passava mais tempo digitando no Word do que navegando na internet kkkkkkk

Não costumo falar sobre meus livros, mas, apesar de ser "notícia velha" pra mim, gostaria de compartilhar que consegui passar do primeiro capítulo, depois de anos - sim, é a primeira vez que não tenho vontade de apagar, reescrever tudo e acabar presa num ciclo vicioso de reescritas.

E o pior é que meu foco sempre foi escrever romance adolescente, mas consegui essa façanha numa história que é beeeeem fora da minha zona de conforto - embora eu leia e assista coisas do gênero, nunca tinha pensado em escrever algo assim. Por enquanto, estou juntando todas as minhas forças para terminar o capítulo 2, mas juro q venho fazer publi quando acabar o livro 🙃

Então, em resumo, esse é um hobby que talvez vire profissão num futuro próximo. E sim, eu estou sendo bem otimista pra não perder a coragem kkkkkk inclusive, alguns perfis aqui no Tumblr, me ajudaram a não desistir dessa história. Foi bom conhecer gente na mesma situação, agradeço mto por compartilharem as experiências de vcs! O mercado literário br não é nada fácil pros autores independentes, mas nós vamos conseguir! Avante, escritores!!!!

💎| Assistir séries da Nickelodeon

Pra quem cresceu assistindo iCarly e Victorious, continuar assistindo séries da Nick não é um sacrifício kkkkkkk

Já tô meio velha, mas ainda amo esses programas adolescentes pq (na maioria) não tem muita lógica envolvida. É ótimo quando quero me distrair sem me envolver com uma história. Gosto de ver Zoey 101 (metade da S4 pra baixo, sendo bem específica), iCarly, The Thundermans, Kally's Mashup (a S1, apenas) Big Time Rush, Bella e os Bulldogs e School of Rock.

💎| Atualizar o Diário de Leituras

Esse hobby só acontece em condições muito específicas, pq quase nunca tenho coragem de ficar cortando as capas de livro - a vida da pessoa que não tem uma mini guilhotina e não pode usar um estilete sem quase cortar a mesa é triste 🤡

Meu "Diário de Leituras" tem, em média, 4 livros por página e é feito num caderno normal (daqueles 1/4, costurado) que na verdade era para as aulas de música do colégio, mas nunca precisei usar. Acho que vou refazer a capa dele nessas férias, pq essa foi feita com papel msm e, como foi a primeira vez, ficou um pouco mal colado 🥲

💎| Assistir filmes que já vi 1001 vezes

Como 99% das pessoas, eu tenho meus filminhos de conforto (daquela lista enorme de 60 filmes preferidos).

Tem uns da minha infância (Uma Noite no Museu, As Aventuras de Tim Tim e Pequenos Espiões), os clássicos (De Volta para o Futuro e Titanic), os de contos de fadas (Cinderela e Alice Através do Espelho), a saga Os Mistérios de Aurora Teagarden e os baseados em livros (A Menina que Roubava Livros e Enola Holmes).

💎| Bloquinho de Citações

Em 2019 ganhei uma mania de anotar todas as frases que achei bonitas/impactantes/melhores momentos num bloquinho (tenho cinco: um preenchido e outro em andamento), que hj chamo de "Bloquinho de Citações". Esse hábito acabou perdendo um pouco de força desde que entrei pro Skoob e passei a anotar minhas frases lá (afinal, é mais fácil copiar e colar do e-book, fora que não ando com o bloco), mas sempre arrumo um tempinho pra passar do celular para o papel 🫶🏻

💎| Quizzes

Essa é uma mania beeeeem antiga, tanto que fiquei chocada quando vi o Quizur de design novo, totalmente irreconhecível. Eu costumava responder vários quizzes lá até os 13, quando passei pro Buzzfeed - que inclusive, está péssimo. Eles ficam repetindo quizzes antigos e às vezes a página nem existe mais (fora que eu tava esperando algum sobre os looks do Oscar/Grammy e não teve nada). No geral, o hobby tá praticamente morrendo e nem é pq eu quero.

💎| Assistir a Patrulha do Consumidor

Esse é o mais diferentão que tem aqui, mas está presente desde a infância - acontece que a Patrulha costumava passar antes do Cine Aventura, ent eu assistia enquanto esperava começar o filme, porém acabei gostando kkkkkkk

Penso em fazer direito? Nem se me pagarem, mas é tanta coisa doida que acontece com o povo por aí que é até bom a gente assistir pra evitar levar um problema novo pra casa 😅

Enfim gnt, esse foram todos os hobbies/manias q consegui lembrar kkkkkk - como dá pra perceber, fui uma criança/pré-adolescente um tiquinho esquisita 🤡👍🏻

Bjs e boas leituras <333

[i-steal-bones]

I recently watched the call of the wild (2020) and I'm honestly disappointed. I understand that the movie was marketed for children and younger teens but they softened all the events that Buck went through to become fully feral/wild in the end and join the wolf pack.

The same thing with a few white fang adaptations that I've seen, the events and trauma that white fang goes through are softened. I will allow that the animated version showed Beauty Smith's cruelty in a rather accurate depiction of what happened in the book but the movie hardly follows the path laid out in the book

Personally I would love to have book accurate movies that show the savageness of Buck's and White Fang's experiences. I want to see how these events shaped the characters to the point where Buck abandons the human world and embraces the wild and White Fang learns to trust humans again and lives out his days in California. I think that 2D animation would allow the movie to shine whereas the CGI used in the 2020 call of the wild felt lacking and live action would have limitations regarding the dogs/wolves and inherent violence of the story. I want Attack on Titan levels of violence and gore, not what disney thinks is violent and gory. I want the people who decide the ratings to debate among themselves whether these movies should be rated R. I want the movies to be marketed to adults who read the books and want to see those events on the big screen. I want to see the beginning scene of White Fang play out exactly as it did in the book, every single horrible thing shown without hiding any of the problematic bits. The wolves ate people, Gray Beaver was manipulated by Beauty Smith and became an alcoholic because of it, White Fang and Kiche ate the lynx cubs to survive, White Fang was almost killed by a bulldog and was inches from death, Buck watched his teammates and former owners die without blinking, the dog pack ate Spitz when he fell to Buck. I don't want any detail missed because it was violent or gory.

[sketchy-the-changeling]

Ozioma Akagha will voice Tonya. She’s been Bumblee in Teen Titans Go and voiced Shuri in a few episodes of What If…?

Tim Johnson Jr will be young Chris. I haven’t seen anything he’s been in, though he doesn’t have a lot

Terrence Little Gardenhigh is Drew. See previous. He’s 17 so I guess they’re going for authentic young voice

Gunnar Sizemore as Greg. This one’s had the most work.

*googles*

Oh I recognize Tim and Terrence. One of my younger cousins watched Bella and the Bulldogs and Terrence was in a movie called Coffee and Kareem that I thought was hilarious.

I also recognize Gunnar from The Paws of Destiny. I think they made some good choices here. Let's see where it goes!

[lumiereswig]

batb cast wake up in the wrong movies

"i really don't see what you're all screaming about, it's merely a simple case of patching the problem—I did something quite similar with my washing machine, once," says Belle, wondering why everyone thinks this titanic ship they're on is such a big deal

adam is in monsters inc and HOO BOY this is bringing up a lot of past traumas for him (he's finally human and now everyone else is furry and 8 feet tall? what gives?)

lumiere never had being in an egyptian tomb on his bucket list but he's having a great bisexual time flirting with everybody (oh yes there are beetles climbing up his skin but he'll get to that later, this old mummy guy is hOT)

cogsworth is bonding with aliens in hawaii and honestly does not want to go back (finally he's found his people! minus that weird little blue french bulldog that keeps prowling around)

plumette convinces aurora and prince philip to ditch their royal duties and run off to the woods with her as a threesome. the fairies' woodland cottage becomes an HGTV project and they compete against maleficent on the great british bake off, winning her over with a stunning passionfruit croissant with almond glaze

darth vader does not stand a chance against garderobe. the movie is now 10 minutes long.

chip becomes friends with this wild-eyed professor type who kinda reminds him of his gay uncles and they travel back into the past to make sure mr and mrs potts meet at the 'tea for two' high school dance. in the process chip picks up a red life preserver and they murder the town bully

mrs potts is in a jane austen movie and literally nothing changes

chapeau becomes the most iconic marvel character for no understandable reason and robert downey jr storms off in a huff

[mechwarrior-rose]

🟢🔵🔴🟡⚪💛🔮🏆 for the ask game

From Star Colonel Melissa Hazen, @is-the-battlemech-cool-or-not

Hell, that's a big ol' passel of questions there. Better crack my knuckles and jump in.

🟢 - I started out as a Ghost Bear trueborn MechWarrior. Lucky enough to get decanted in time to join Operation REVIVAL. Had a few adventures, a few mishaps, and then my star ran into the Second Genyosha right after they'd pulled garrison duty for their part in Operation BULLDOG. They took me and a starmate as isorla, so for a while I worked for them. Took off on my own after that. If I have any factional allegiance at all right now, it's to my own damn self and whoever's fool enough to hire me.

🔵 - I may not be a proper Ghost Bear anymore, but I'm still proud of 'em. They cut a lot of the bullshit that the home Clans got hung up on. Realized that the world had moved on, and they'd best move on with it or get left behind. Same with the Sea Foxes. I still get hung up on the name change. Used to have a buddy in the Sharks back in the day. And I guess the Lyrans ain't all that bad, or at least as much as I saw of 'em on Solaris.

🔴 - On the other hand, I maybe saw too much of those arrogant Davion loyalists on Solaris, especially during the big riots. I don't cotton much to them. FedSuns as a whole is fine, I guess, but somehow I ain't never run into someone from the Suns who ain't a bootlicker. Not a big fan of Wolf's Dragoons, either. And maybe that's a bit hypocritical of me, bein' a former Clanner turned mercenary myself. Old hurts are hard to shake, I guess. I've tried to tamp down my grudge against the Hell's Horses, but come on, they kinda suck, don't they? They ain't as bad as the Smoke Jags. Now them I learned to hate from personal experience, at least as a political entity. Whole clan's gone now, and good riddance.

🟡 - My most recent permanent domicile was the Titans stable back on Solaris. Bounced around a few co-ops before they picked me up. Since I left a few years ago, I've mostly hitched rides. Traded service for berth space with small merc companies going the same way I am. Crawling my way to the Periphery. I reckon I'll keep doing the same until I find what I'm lookin' for.

⚪ & 💛 - Very first vehicle I properly piloted was a Shadow Cat Prime. Tested in the same model, but not the same unit. I claimed an Ebon Jaguar Prime during a tour against the Smoke Jags after my Trial of Position, and I've been piloting her ever since. Had to fight like hell to make sure the Genyosha gave her back to me after I got my bondcord cut. Been using Inferno rounds for the SRM-2, but I figure I'll be back to standard ammo once the bin runs out.

🔮 - I looked down on it for a long time, just like most of us did. After Tukayyid, I ran garrison duty on Thessalonika for a few years. Had a great time, and I made a lot of good friends, but I was too damn busy bein' angry about the Trial cutting us off for the next decade and a half to pay attention to how good I had it. Gettin' captured by the Genyosha was probably the best thing that could have happened to me. Finally opened my eyes to how absolutely fuckin' weird Clan warrior life is. People in the Sphere just live day to day, tryin' to make it best they can. I've been doin' the same now for a decade or so, and it don't seem so bad, all things considered.

🏆 - Hell naw, I ain't got no Bloodname.

... I wanted a shot at mine. Bloodhouse Hall. Figured I'd have it after my tour against the Jags. Fuck's sake, I got a line in the goddamned Remembrance, you'd think I'd have been a shoo-in. But the war happened, and then there I was, stuck on Thessalonika, twiddlin' my thumbs. Challenged my CO to about half a dozen Trials of varyin' degrees in hopes of gettin' my chance to go home and try for a name. She ended up puttin' me down hard in the end, which did nothing to alleviate my misery. And now the thought just seems kinda foolish. Somewhere on Alshain, assumin' they bothered to bring it with them, there's a sample of my genes waitin' for me to go back and do some damn Trial or ritual or somethin' to come back into the fold and earn my place in eternity. That's all right. It can keep on waitin'.

I don't think I've talked that much at a stretch in a long time. I think I might need a lie-down after that grillin'.

EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS is such a confounding movie.

I recently watched a batch of deleted scenes, of which I wasn't aware of until rather recently. I had once listened to its director, Seth Kearsley, talk about the picture on a podcast as well. Fascinating stuff all around about its production, and all the ins and outs, how they went about their decision-making, etc. Seemed like it was a fun movie for many of its crew to work on, and they seemed to be treated well too. RARE for an animated movie of this caliber, it seems.

It has gone down, almost notoriously, as being considered one of the "worst" animated movies ever...

Weirdly, when I was 11 years old, I was lowkey OBSESSED with this movie. I didn't even know it existed until it was out on DVD, and when I watched the whole thing through, I was hooked for some reason. Maybe it was because it was, at the time, a good-sized 2D animated feature that wasn't set in the past, a fantasy world, a sci-fi setting, or anything like that. EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS wasn't IRON GIANT nor EL DORADO nor SPIRIT nor TITAN A.E. nor TREASURE PLANET... It wasn't like LILO & STITCH from the same year either, which is also a contemporary story, but that has aliens in it! And was family-friendly. This was set in the present, it was more for adults, it was just people being people with *some* cartoony elements (such as cute anthropomorphic deer and some of the exaggerated, if not demeaning character designs), it was even really semi-realistically gross in some parts (and not in the sort of, say, exaggerated REN & STIMPY way), it could've easily been a live-action Happy Madison production. But it wasn't. Many of the movie's detractors feel it should've just been done in live-action.

The movie is inspired by the Whitey character from one of Adam Sandler's comedy albums, and sometimes I feel the movie could've worked better with him as the main character and Davey a complex deuteragonist. Going through the deleted scenes, you could tell the crew went through a few ideas of just how far they wanted to push the exaggerated, cartoony stuff. What kind of jokes they thought could work or that they could get away with, etc. Certainly a cartoonish decapitation of a kid, and a monkey that explodes into a gory mess would've easily landed this thing an R rating, but they weren't going for that ultimately. You have this weird mix of a very dark and often mean movie, but it's also PG-13 and it doesn't go too far so it's more accessible to kids and still fits the bill of being a "warm holiday special" kind of movie. I do gotta give props to the filmmakers for wanting to make a big, mainstream Hanukkah movie in a sea of gazillions of Christmas movies, no matter the end result.

And yet... It worked on this fellow when they were 11 years old, so Sandler, Kearsley and his crew must've done something right! I can quote most of this, that's how obsessed I was with this movie circa December 2003-January 2004. With holiday money or something, I literally bought the VHS of it. We had it on DVD as well, but I bought a VHS for myself because back then, I did not have a DVD player in my room... So, a tape it was. It came with the live-action short A DAY WITH THE MEATBALL, starring Adam Sandler's bulldog at the time, much like the DVD.

So yeah, I find it a fascinating movie to this day, not because of its battlefield of tones (life itself is tonally uneven, too) or some of its truly strange sequences such as the one where the product placement all comes to life in the mall, but because of its history and also... The visuals are quite nice. IRON GIANT animation team involved (the boy Benjamin kinda reminded me of Hogarth anyways, of course I made the connection at a young age), and even the songs I find amusing. They got Alison Krauss to sing on at least one of them, so that's a plus. Some of the eleventh hour rushed stuff, such as the declining animation quality on the townspeople during the Bum Biddy bit, is fun to spot too. And I do overall like the premise of this movie; a relentlessly kind man who is overlooked by his community Odd Couple-ing with a total asshole who had a tragic childhood, in a sort of blah and miserable blue-collar town setting, some heavy stuff that this movie that - with more tact and less poopy jokes - could've really handled well.

I hate the term "guilty pleasure", but this could possibly be that for me. That's what I like about "bad" animated movies of the '90s and early '00s, there's usually something very interesting going on in it, whether it's through the seemingly-confused storytelling or the idiosyncratic choices in the visuals. I think with a slew of cheap live-action movies, those are indeed efforts at the end of the day, but with an animated movie... There's a lot more to it, and that it's a miracle one of these things even gets finished, let alone released. In live-action, it's just they shot a bit and did some post... With an animated film like this, a lot happens along the way, no matter the end product. It's easy to say "it's all negated by the script", but I think it's more complex than that... And that's part of what I find appealing about EIGHT CRAZY NIGHTS to this day.

LE DÉPART

The tour came eventually to an end as the crew entered in the Combi. Everyone taking places in the cockpit. The bulletproof windows letting them appreciate one last time Neo-Nice, even if Mart didn't really entered actually entered the city.

Paperworks and customs check up done. They took their place in the long row of big and armored vehicles ready to take one of the hourly opennings to the Mega-route.

Mart eyes were intensely scanning the fortifications eager to pass them and visit the world. He even cracked a smile when it finally opened.

The seemingly infinte grey lane of the Mega route first apeared to him. His eyes adjusting to the bright rays of the unforgiving sun on wich the planet was rotating around. And of course the gargantuan flat and rock landscape the road was build on. It was all that can be seen. Endless upon endless of barely fertile lands. A brown rocky horison with occasionnaly some short vegetations.

As all the vehicles continued he finally saw that the beginning of the Mega-route was actually a bridge of titanic proportion. He could see the faint glow of the sun on water. He didn't even realised he was up on his feet until Marcel laughed.

HOW COULD THEY NOT ADMIRE THE BEAUTY OF THIS NATURAL ABYSSMAL MOAT?

"Il est pas déjà passé par là pour entrer ce gars?" Seemed to ask Ramid.

"Il est peut-être venu en cryo' comme notre marchandise, ou dans une caisse, on a pas tous la chance d'avoir la vue sur le voyage." Seemingly answered Irham, throwing an angry gesture.

Mart didn't know what they were talking about but it seemed that it affected dearly the arabian man wich looked up at him after answering, making eye contact. Whatever was said, the traveler decided to throw the man a thumb up in hope to lift his spirit wich seemed to works.

"Hey Mart!" Called Marcel.

The cyborg tapped the console and a map of the Combi appeared on a screen in the habitacle.

"Si tu veux voir Neo-Nice, c'est maintenant ou jamais!" Yelled the man with the bulldog like face, poking what appeared to be a panoramic window in the back of the vehicle on the map.

Mart immediately ran to the door, exiting the cockpit. And at the second he was out of sight, he opened the -door-, arriving immediately to his destination.

And here...

He first saw what appeared to be an ocean behind the city.

Then he witnessed the glory and height of the city he didn't even visit. An imposant series of fortifications all of them with an incredible number of set of gigantics cannons. He really wondered how can they kept in such great state all this antiques.

Behind this walls was a natural mountain on which a motley city was build on its sides. But, clear distinction was apparent. The base of the city was grey and full of buildings and the more you looked up, the less dense was the architecture even more older. Near the top, clear sign of agriculture finally gave some greens to the megalopole and finally, on top of all this, a castle, an actual castle like in the fairytails, it looked even older than the very ground it was build on.

As he stared, dumbfounded by this oddity, his attention came back to the bridge as the last vehicle exited the city, the great doors closing and the cannons coming to live, moving to point the bottom of the ravine that became the moat of this fortified citadel.

Mart then understood two things, all the tech he was seeing were the state of the art here and clearly and that they were here for a reason.

He couldn't see on what such armament was aimed at, but witnessing how bright the shots and explosions were, it was big.

He opened the -door- directly to the cockpit. The crew didn't noticed, for them, he just passed the door. As they were already happily talking and maybe to him. He took place on an unocupied seat and smiled. This place was incredible.

He had to restraint his feets from tapping and his hands from clapping from excitment.

He was eager to discover this world.

The Gentle Giant with a Gentle Soul: Unveiling the Dogue de Bordeaux

They say good things come in big packages, and the Dogue de Bordeaux is a pawsome embodiment of that saying. These powerful French mastiffs, also known as Bordeaux Mastiffs or French Bulldogs (though not to be confused with their smaller, bat-eared cousins!), are a breed that commands attention with their impressive size and regal presence. 

But beneath that furrowed brow and wrinkled face lies a heart overflowing with loyalty, affection, and surprising gentleness. Intrigued by this breed of gentle giants? This comprehensive guide will delve into the fascinating world of the Dogue de Bordeaux, equipping you with the knowledge to determine if this majestic canine companion might be the perfect fit for your fur-loving lifestyle.

A Legacy Etched in Stone: The History of the Dogue de Bordeaux

The Dogue de Bordeaux boasts an impressive lineage, with their ancestry tracing back to the days of ancient Gaul. These powerful molosser-type dogs were likely used for guarding estates, protecting livestock, and even assisting in hunting large game. Over time, the breed developed in the Bordeaux region of France, where they gained the name "Dogue de Bordeaux."  

Their formidable size and strength made them valuable working dogs, and their loyalty and courage earned them a place by the side of farmers and ranchers. The breed's popularity rose throughout the 19th century, with dedicated breeders refining their characteristic features and solidifying their gentle temperament. Today, the Dogue de Bordeaux is a beloved companion dog, prized for their loyalty, intelligence, and undeniably majestic presence.

Built for Grandeur: The DDB's Physical Characteristics

The Dogue de Bordeaux is a truly imposing figure. Males can stand up to 27 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh in at a hefty 110 pounds, while females are slightly smaller. Their most striking feature is undoubtedly their massive head – the largest, proportionally, in the canine kingdom! This head is adorned with a short, wrinkled muzzle, expressive eyes, and a characteristic underbite. Their short, fawn-colored coat adds to their statuesque appearance. While undeniably powerful, the Dogue de Bordeaux is a well-balanced dog, built for strength and stamina rather than excessive bulk.

Beyond the Frown: The DDB's Temperament and Personality

Despite their impressive size and furrowed brow, Dogues de Bordeaux are renowned for their gentle and affectionate nature. Often referred to as "gentle giants," they form strong bonds with their families and are incredibly loving towards their human companions.  

Dogue de Bordeaux puppies can be bundles of playful energy, but they mature into calm and dignified adults. Their loyalty is unwavering, and they possess a natural protectiveness over their loved ones. However, this protectiveness can manifest as territorial behavior if not properly socialized.

Training a Titan: Tips for Raising a Dogue de Bordeaux

While Dogues de Bordeaux are intelligent dogs, their powerful build and independent streak can require a firm but gentle training approach. Here are some key tips to ensure a successful training journey with your DDB:

Start Early:  Begin socialization and puppy training classes as early as possible.  Expose your pup to different people, animals, and environments to prevent fearfulness or shyness.

Positive Reinforcement:  Dogue de Bordeaux respond best to positive reinforcement techniques like praise, treats, and petting. Avoid harsh training methods, which can damage their trust and cooperative spirit.

Consistency is Key:  Establish clear and consistent commands and boundaries.  Dogue de Bordeaux can be stubborn at times, so patience and consistent enforcement are crucial.

Channel Their Strength:  These dogs thrive on mental and physical stimulation. Incorporate obedience training, puzzle toys, and regular walks to keep their minds and bodies engaged.

The DDB's Daily Life: Exercise, Grooming, and Care

Owning a Dogue de Bordeaux comes with certain responsibilities. Here's a breakdown of their daily needs:

Exercise Essentials:  While not overly active, DDBs require daily walks and playtime to maintain their physical and mental well-being. Avoid strenuous exercise, especially with young puppies, to prevent joint problems.

Grooming Routine:  Their short coat requires minimal brushing once or twice a week. However, pay attention to their facial folds, which can trap moisture and require gentle cleaning.

A Balanced Diet:  Dogue de Bordeaux puppies have specific dietary needs for healthy growth. Consult your veterinarian for a well-balanced diet plan appropriate for their age and activity level.

Lifespan Considerations:  Dogue de Bordeaux typically have a lifespan of 8-11 years.  Be prepared to provide them with loving care and veterinary attention throughout their lives.

Living with a Gentle Giant: Owning a Dogue de Bordeaux

Dogue de Bordeaux may be majestic companions, but before welcoming one into your life, consider these additional factors:

Space Requirements:  These are large dogs! They need ample space indoors and out to feel comfortable. Apartment living might not be suitable for them.

Guardian Instinct:  Dogue de Bordeaux possess a strong protective instinct.  Early socialization and proper training are essential to ensure they differentiate between friendly strangers and potential threats.

Drool Factor:  Be prepared for some serious slobber! Dogue de Bordeaux are notorious droolers. Regular face cleaning and keeping a supply of drool cloths on hand are necessities.

Snoring Symphony:  Their short snouts can lead to snoring, especially during sleep. While endearing to some, it's important to be aware of this potential noise factor.

Heat Sensitivity:  Dogue de Bordeaux don't tolerate hot weather well. Provide them with access to air conditioning or shaded areas during hot days.

The DDB and Your Family: A Perfect Match?

Dogue de Bordeaux can be wonderful family dogs, especially for families with older children. However, their size and strength require responsible supervision around young children to prevent accidental knocks or injuries. Their calm and gentle nature shines through with proper socialization and training, making them loving companions for families who can provide the space, exercise, and training they need to thrive.

Finding Your Forever Friend: Responsible DDB Breeders

If you've decided a Dogue de Bordeaux might be the perfect fit for your lifestyle, choosing a responsible breeder is crucial. Here's what to look for:

Health Testing:  Reputable breeders health test their breeding stock for common Dogue de Bordeaux health concerns like hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and cherry eye.

Temperament:  Meet the parents of your potential puppy. They should be calm, confident, and well-socialized.

Living Conditions:  Visit the breeder's kennel to ensure the dogs are kept in clean, healthy, and spacious environments.

Puppy Selection:  Choose a puppy that demonstrates a curious and playful personality. Avoid overly shy or timid pups.

Beyond Breeders: Rescue and Adoption

Consider opening your heart and home to a Dogue de Bordeaux in need. Rescue organizations and shelters sometimes have these magnificent dogs waiting for their forever families. Adopting an adult dog allows you to meet their personality firsthand and provides a loving home for a dog who might have been overlooked.

The DDB: A Breed Like No Other

The Dogue de Bordeaux is a truly unique breed – a captivating blend of power, gentleness, and unwavering loyalty. Their impressive size and regal presence are matched by their loving nature and playful spirit. Owning a Dogue de Bordeaux is a commitment, but for those who can provide the space, training, and love they deserve, these gentle giants can become cherished members of the family for years to come. So, if you're looking for a canine companion who will turn heads, steal hearts, and fill your life with slobbery kisses, the Dogue de Bordeaux might just be your perfect match!

11.01. 21:19 | Ilo Pisara vs Hockeyholics 1 - 7

Well, well, well... if it isn't another chapter in the tragicomedy that is Ilo Pisara's performance on ice. Let me paint you a picture of our latest "masterpiece": we faced off against Hockeyholics and let's just say they must've thought it was open mic night because they had us laughing all the way to a 7-1 spanking. VETOJA HYVÄT HERRAT! Our shots were as scarce as hen’s teeth – only 16 attempts? What is this, amateur hour at the Zamboni driving school? We need more rubber flying towards their net than messages in bottles tossed into the ocean! Teppo Winnipeg, oh dear Teppo... with defense like yours, I'd feel safer with a cardboard cutout holding down our blue line. And those shot attempts – three whole shots?! My grandmother could do better with her broomstick during spring cleaning! Konsta Terde seemed to think he was playing darts out there - six shots but about as much impact as a mosquito at an elephant convention. Sure you got an assist; even broken clocks are right twice a day. And Jani Saari scored our lone goal—congratulations for not making us leave completely empty-handed. But still, one goal won’t feed the bulldog when we’re bleeding seven on home ice. Let's remember past glories: crushing Potilaat and HC Red Bull made us look like titans among toddlers—but now? Now we're looking more lost than socks after laundry day. Time to buckle up buttercups; next game needs less fairy dust and more thunderstorms from your sticks!
