crazy how everything about mcd is so much more insane when you apply what i call the dog rule and that is when they are all dogs now in some way shape or form: an analysis.
when garroth is purebred, a hound made to serve, that does not know how to do anything but heel. he has purpose. he is sleek and well-groomed because he has to be, because he has always been tended to. a dog that falls into desperate spiral when that dynamic shifts - because who is he, without someone to follow, protect, love? a dog that becomes flea-bitten and hungry when he runs because he was never taught to take care of himself, to be his own master. he falls apart. he needs this, he knows, but what is he without someone to own him? a dog that cannot lead any kind of pack or family because it is afraid to understand the kind of animal it is if not in submission. if a parent, a teacher, he is promptly punished by his students as cruel reminder that he is not allowed to find joy in anything other than what his makers intended. a dog so desperate that it offers up its own leash to whoever will take it when things crumble - even if it means turning back to distasteful company. as long as it is held at all. time and time again, he tried to tend to the younger, weaker. he tried to feed them and lick their wounds - and time and time again, only to be mauled in turn. no more, he thinks. life was simpler when he was mindless, just four paws and a purpose. if that was what he was bred for, what business does he have pretending?
when laurance is a stray but made out of love. his coat shines thanks to the love of his family, his sister. he is sleek and well-groomed with them. the nether breaks him in, turns him a little wild. gives him cause to show teeth when threatened. when he bites, he mauls. there is something wicked in his animal eyes. he goes for the kill. when he bites, something in him wants it to hurt - whether his prey or himself, he can't tell. a part of the dog believes the suffering is natural because its maker declared it so. the pain wanes in and out like the cycle of the moon; life is unpredictable. he is braced to survive, sometimes with teeth already bared to expect the suffering. constantly on edge, pacing, waiting for the next disaster. a loyal, desperate pet that will follow to the ends of the earth - a desperation that borders on obsession. he will eat you alive, if only you would stay with him, inside of him, never leave him. never look at anyone else the way you would him. don't put him on a leash - let him choose who to lope after. his leash, in fact, is in tatters. he can't be collared. he merely follows, hungry at the heels of who fed him. his sense of duty is not of obligation but of love, a sacred need to stay at the side of those who treated him with kindness and them alone. and worse, he is burdened with the constant fear that if left untethered for too long, that obsession might turn carnal - that if wronged, he may not kill to eat and feel full, but kill merely to feel the blood on his teeth, just to feel the pain. feel something. anything. that he might enjoy the taste of his loved ones. maybe a leash is the right thing. maybe he needs to be caged. he can't bear either thought.
when they both bite the hand that fed them. when they bite each other. when they are dogs and kind of made for each other.
dante is a dog. aaron is a dog. aph is a dog. katelyn? oh you fucking guessed it. ivy. jeffory. zane. yeah. all of them are dogs. welcome to the dog rule fuckers its exactly how it sounds. are you sick of the word dog yet.

I gotta say the MAWS crew has balls for not doing a traditional Superman history lesson with Jor-El which is usually where Clark, alone usually btw, learns that he's Kryptonian from the dead planet Krypton and that his name is Kal-El and all that,
And instead had the reality bending little shithead Myx reveal that as well as the Multiversal League of Loises, who are also the very first beings to introduce Clark to Kryptonite.
This was a real fun ep.

people conflating visual novels and dating sims is making me lose my mind like, no, dating sims are NOT a good simple easy game for people who "suck at video games", try getting the perfect ending in any traditional dating sim with resource and time management along with stat raising without a guide on your first try and youll see how bad you fucked up by calling any and all visual novels that are romance based CYOA games "dating sims"

Here’s how I spent my day:
- Read your snippet of the Landoscar Fake Dating AU and nearly died from anticipation??!!
- Made myself a cup of tea and rewatched Landoscar McLaren reels on instagram
- Read Lacey’s Lestappen & Landoscar Mission Universe sequel and cried tears of laughter followed by tears of pain
- Took a nap because I was emotionally challenged
- Read Celine’s Landoscar Happily Ever After fic and died from cuteness overload
- Binge watched Oscar’s prema videos because, again, was feeling CUTE
- Read Leaf’s Negative Splits AU while watching a hockey game in the background (fitting!)
And I just want to say: you Landoscar fic writers are KILLING IT. I love that there aren’t a TON of fics (though that number is rising!), all the fics that exist are absolutely top notch. Thank you for your service.
I’m also sorry if I assumed people’s names here, I know people have Tumblr names that aren’t actually their real names 🙈
anon that sounds like an absolutely top notch day very very jealous. i too am obsessed with landoscar fic writers dO THEY KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM genuinly lie awake at night worrying about this
thank you for this wonderful message anon, hope your tomorrow is just as great as your today <3
