#but like this scenario for instance
Photo
In this story I threw a rope toy which harold got to first. Wylie decided it was highly valuable, and when he missed out, he redirected on harold and bit him out of frustration. Not hard enough to injure, but harder than a play bite, and hard enough to trigger a reaction from harold. Haz gave a BIG snarl, told him to back off, and Wylie snapped out of it. Haz then gave him a warning stare with some lip licks, reinforcing that it was not an appropriate interaction, and Wylie stood back and reflected on his actions.
side characters include Moby strategically ignoring the squabble to sneak away with the prize, budgie appearing out of nowhere to offer appeasement behaviours to Daz, Russell trying to figure out if Wylie has nipples, and Miller sitting back and watching like it’s just another friday
#i am constantly adjusting my approach to dog to dog interactions both in my home and in public#my stance on advocacy is different now than it was a year ago and i'm sure it'll be different again a year from now#currently i'm trying to tread the line of letting my dogs communicate#whether that means playing well together or letting each other know when boundaries are crossed#but also stepping in when i preempt a potential altercation#so instead of allowing them to 'sort it out'#which they could do easily and in an appropriate manner#i try and prevent the situation from happening all together#because regardless of whether they can deal with it appropriately it is still stress inducing#my hesitancy to step in and 'micro manage' in the past was because i wanted them to be able to communicate effectively and to not be babied#or shielded#or lose those important communication skills#but the reality is there will always be scenarios where they WILL have to fend for themselves#mostly because i'm not quick enough to sensor the situation#so when i AM quick enough I am actively trying to mediate to make for a calmer and more relaxed environment#but like this scenario for instance#i did not even know it happened until i looked back at the pics i#it was all over in under 5 seconds#and happened over a game of fetch which these dogs have played happily before without issue#anyway#dog communication is fascinating and i am always#learning#harold#wylie#dogs#budgie#miller#moby

It's really frustrating being trans sometimes with cis loved ones because other cis people will go, "oh but it's such a huge adjustment for them! They're grieving for your pre-transition self/they aren't used to the change yet/it's hard on them!"
It's just so frustrating that people forget that trans people's feelings on this matter, too. Cis people aren't the only ones who have adjustments to make. Frankly, as much as I sympathize with cis people in this position, I can't help but be really jaded about it because so often, cis people jump to the defense of other cis people and they will seemingly forget to or refuse to give the same grace to trans people.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#like at what point is it 'they aren't used to it yet!' and it morphs into 'that person is actively refusing to acknowledge you'#i'm at a point now where i have been out as trans for half my life. at what point is this willfully refusing to see *me*#it's just amazing that it doesn't matter what the trans person could do because it's their fault for bringing 'burden' onto cis people#i UNDERSTAND that it can be hard for family for instance to flip a switch with their trans loved one...#...but i can't help but notice that so often it's because they *refuse to try*#why is it that cis people can do almost anything to trans people but trans people must be perfectly understanding and perfectly...#...content with whatever cis people in our lives have to say about how hard it is on THEM...#...like that's insulting to me. imagine being so willfully incompassionate...#...i'm worried about if i'm safe in my own workplace or in my gym or in a medical setting...#...i feel like we need a sense of scale about who is most affected by transness in this scenario...#...because i would RATHER be grieving over somebody's transness than worrying if i'll be hatecrimed...#...there's a difference in the experience between a trans person and the cis people in that trans person's life learning to adjust to...#...that person's transness. which is why i don't think it's comparable to say that cis people have it just as hard in this case#transphobia#transphobia tw

the red camellia is undeniably soukoku's flower to me. they bloom in the cold, through snow and winter chill. they're at their most beautiful in the harshest conditions when everything else is dormant or dead. they're a symbol of perseverance and strength and passion. but at the end of the line, they 'behead' themselves when they die, refusing to drop petal by petal, choosing to go when they're still beautiful, refusing to compromise the rest of the tree by rotting on the branch.
#idk they just remind me of how chuuya willingly puts himself through hell for those he loves#corruption is breathtaking but its not sustainable ( obviously ) and#camellia trees open many buds in succession#because they die so quickly ultimately putting great strain on the tree for the sake of securing a successful blooming cycle#they're extremely susceptible to rot and root disease#the 'beheading'#symbolized a noble death to samurai and warriors#who would choose death over showing weakness and dishonor#camellia flowers drop from the rest of the tree#like they can't bear to die a slow death#and bring down the beauty of the flowers that surround them#like dazai#who puts himself in isolating#and dangerous scenarios#because even if he doesn't succeed ( he always does ) at least he'll go out of sight and out of mind#he faces enemies alone#even when he doesn't have to#argh#<- guy who is really normal about watching the camellia tree outside of their window bloom and die over the last few months#rare instance of niko yapping enjoy it

Your Hal is amazing. I would give anything to marry him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It won't be a stylish marriage, he can't afford a carriage :[ but you'd look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two :D
Real answer: I don't think any of the bots would fully understand human marriage/the concept of dedicating yourself to one person, beyond what they've seen in movies, books, etc. But if you formed a very close bond with Hal, he would be open to letting you teach him <3
#more tag rambling: i have thought about this since i think of x reader scenarios#the idea of marrying or being in a relationship is extra cute and compelling because you would basically be teaching them how to love#i also dont think any of them would have a good grasp on gender or sexuality since yknow... sexless robots.#so they wouldnt reallt care about your gender since they see it like they see hair color for instance 😭#their attraction would be more based on emotional/mental bonds than physical traits!#thank you anon you got me thinking about robot marriage <3#ask

but unlike AO3's tagging system i do kind of consider TVA!Loki and Movies!Loki to be separate characters, similar to how Alligator!Loki and Sylvie are, to the point where i at first actually assumed everyone in the fandom (both the series-specific one and the mcu) would think the same on this topic especially since that series was about alternate universes and their associated different versions of characters.
so in my innocent imagined world there were - for instance - no long posts about how the main Loki in the series was "OOC" because well it's a different guy of course he's not the exactly same as that other guy. though there would i am sure be equally long posts comparing and contrasting and declaring one superior to the other, and doubtless people would argue about whether an alternate version was what the existing fanbase had wanted from the series and whether it was a good idea generally. so in my little bizarro-world the discourse is a bit different (as befits an alternate universe).
so like i still think of them as separate characters, but i am at least aware now that this is apparently an odd view of the situation somehow.
#there's a good chance it's my time in doctor who fandom that made me see it this way u know?#i don't *just* tag tva!loki and movies!loki here on tumblr so people can filter one or the other out!#also in terms of writing fic cos they do have quite distinct ways of speaking (and so does ragnarok!loki to an extent)#i do feel like i'd have to rewrite one of my sifki fics (for instance) if i was for some reason to put tva!loki in it instead#i suppose it really is a “he would not say that!” thing but in this case there's another he available who *would* say that#i've seen the occasional fic where the writer has clearly plugged the wrong loki into the scenario and it just seems weird#if this post starts a fight then i hope it does so in another universe from the one i currently inhabit#though obvs it won't as i am correct about this and everyone is bound to agree with me

i love when characters are assholes to other people and its not deserved but its not undeserved either.
#in this specific instance i am talking about bob episode 8 where they all bully web#for not being traumatised in bastogne#but also just generally i love when its like yeah i can understand on a human level why you'd be pissed off in this scenario#even if the other person had no control over it whatsoever#text

“Two Minds,” Superior Spider-Man (Vol. 3/2023), #4.
Writer: Dan Slott; Penciler: Mark Bagley; Inker: John Dell; Colorist: Edgar Delgado; Letterer: Joe Caramagna
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Superior Spider-Man#Superior Spider-Man vol. 3#Superior Spider-Man 2023#latest release#Scarlet Spider#Kaine#Kaine Parker#once again!!! not actually Kaine in reality because this is one of those «trapped in the mindscape» scenarios but!!!#I feel like they are slowly reintroducing Kaine into the ecosystem in preparation for the summer event#and I for one cannot wait for him to take over#especially notable that in this instance Kaine - Bob Reynolds and frigging Howard the Duck are all considered allies but not Ben Reilly#(unless one of those vaguely spider-person-shaped shadows is supposed to be Ben) but in any case#oof#but yeah I may have my beef with Slott and the Superior Spider-Man thing but (as always)#I’m just so happy to see Kaine pop up

ok one thing I hate about Rosamund's scene of sacrificing true love is like
she already gave up on that!!! in like... episode 2!!!! we've already seen her come to the conclusion that akshully free will and choice are always better than fate and destiny ha get rekt
you know what I woulda really loved to see?
a young woman (still a girl, really) who spent her childhood spoiled and beloved and lonely. no peers to speak of. parents who love her like the thorns do: paranoid and possessive and hellbent on protecting her at any cost. servants at her beck and call. but no friends. no one who loves her for her own self rather than what she represents.
and this little girl grows up knowing that one day, something terrible is going to happen to her. but she won't even know it's happening! and when it's over, she'll never be lonely again. because her True Love is going to save her.
and True Love means having somebody Forever. someone who loves you just as you are. someone who was born to love you like you were born to love them. someone who is never gonna leave you. someone that it will be easy with. she never even has to know that relationships are hard work. for her it can be easy. and that's her reward for good behaviour! is that she'll never be lonely again!
anyway I think that would've made the choice of giving that up WAY more compelling. and significantly more heartbreaking when Rosamund looks into the eyes of the person she's waited her whole life to love knowing that she's already made up her mind to sacrifice that love to the Baba Yaga. THAT'S good shit.
#neverafter#neverafter spoilers#rosamund du prix#i know im way behind the times now but this has been percolating ever since i watched that episode#obvs it's their game! they make the choices!#i just think that in this instance it was a bad choice lmao#overly informed by 21st centural liberal values instead of like...#really putting some effort into understanding the psychology of a person put in this scenario#and how their values might differ from the 21st century model of individual choice and freedom above all else

I couldn't exactly get what I wanted for Halloween done, sooo you're getting some OC stuff.
Her name is Salomé, and she's been 11 for twelve thousand years.
Happy Halloween.
#there's much more to this OC tbh but I'm a little embarrassed#like for instance#she's been trapped in a state between life and decay by a powerful entertainment corporate#who in the dawn of apocalypse choose to trick a lot of their consumers fleeing the apocalypse into being conditionned and modified#so they may forever carry the memory of their products and “company magic”#but every subject died eventually except for Salomé#who crafts herself a fictional life in which everything's fine and everyone including the company's characters is alive and play with her#as a very messed up way of coping#(the entertainment company may or may not be Disney btw)#then new civilizations individuals discover the buried amusement park and explore it#and what has become of Salome's physical shell finds them imprison them and forces them to take part in her eternal game of make-believe#and she does so for years until a group of vigilantes comes to investigate the disappearances#they are aided by the company's characters who since the time have developed potential for sentience btw#...and. get this. why I'm so embarrassed about all of that. ... it's a Splatoon fanfic 😂#this scenario happens in Splatoon 😂😂😂#so yeah guess who are the vigilantes ? lmao#so yeah anyway#happy halloween#halloween#oc stuff#cw body horror#body horror#dark art#tw child death#arachnophobia#anyway if you wanna know more ask cuz' i'd be curious too lol#salomé

Hellooo I'm back with more writing :3 I got distracted so I didn't finish the whole thing I wanted to but have this first bit because it's not awful? (90% sure I'm gonna edit this and add it to Crushed Petals sometime enjoy)
It was 3 AM. Again.
Macaque rolled over as he clutched the thin fabric of the bedsheet under his claws. It felt weird, not quite something he could describe. Like if ice was a fabric.
No, bad example. Not ice. Just…
Macaque rolled over in the other direction. The blanket felt suffocatingly hot and itchy, despite the fact it had seemed perfectly soft at the beginning of the night. He kicked it off and the cold of the room flooded him again, memories reawakening a chill far deeper in his bones than the simple cool of night could reach.
Macaque huffed and pulled the blanket back up over him. Somehow the slight chill was worse.
“Everything I did was for us!”
“You did it for yourself!”
Macaque flipped onto his stomach and buried his face in the pillow. The softness did not distract from the faint ache that came with smushing his nose, or the growing feeling he could only describe as liquid fire stirring in his chest.
“You’ve become like this obsessive – demon!”
“Shut up!” Macaque snapped as he pressed his hands over his ears. The clear chill of the room’s air only served to remind him he was alone right now. The burning in his chest told him that was someone’s fault. He’d always assumed it was Wukong’s. Now he couldn’t sort out if the fire ignited was at the Great Sage or himself.
“You put yourself here, not me.”
Macaque shoved himself up, brushing a hand through his hair. He knew nights like this very well. He hated nights like this. When all he wanted to do was sleep and all his brain wanted to do was remind him of every single slight against him, every single word he wanted to take back, why everything was his fault or someone else’s.
Nights like these usually made him act stupid.
Macaque threw the blanket off and abruptly swung his legs off the bed with a soft sigh.
“Tell me, what madness overcame you that you would forsake your oath?” Macaque growled softly as his tail lashed across the bed with quiet thumps. “When did you decide to betray me?”
“Shut up.” He growled again as hot anger burned in his chest. His mind just couldn’t shut up, could it? It had to keep going, keep reminding him, keep telling him he was always the follower that got hurt, and he didn’t even know if it was his fault or not anymore.
Macaque shoved himself off the bed, the floor freezing cold to the touch. “Would it kill him to turn the heater on?” Macaque growled as he grabbed the comforting softness of the scarf off the nightstand and walked toward the door. He rotated the doorknob slowly, the metal cold, careful not to make too loud of a sound. He stepped out and closed the door, then headed with soft, light steps, down the stairs to the kitchen.
#very short because very unfinihsed#unfinished#not even a whole scene thing#just the part I finished#pacing is a bit sucky but I wasn't really focusing on pacing for this so ig that makes sense#gonna edit/rewrite it before it goes in fanfic if it does#anyway yeah more fun tidbits#sparked by the fact that we now have two instances where Macaque remembers a line to the letter from 500+ years ago#and uses it to clap back later#so this guy probably spent so many nights awake running the thoughts and scenarios and lines through his head#hope you like it trying to get my writer brain to not be so critical so#have

i love how people pretend to listen to me because they don't take me seriously and then when the problems i said would crop up do finally appear they're like "ohhh wow we should have listened to you 😦" and then just continue not listening to me
#its not even like boy cried wolf like im very careful with what i do and do not bring up and i dont think#my own anxieties or guesses as to what might possibly happen worst case scenario are worth the discussion#this entire year has been multiple instances of me being like This WILL Happen Almost Certainly#then someone being like Oh okay :) sure we'll look into it. then clearly doing nothing about it#then few months later getting blindsided by it#and its not like im an oracle or something i do present my reasoning people just dont take me seriousssllyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come to think of it, tales of arcadia and bbc merlin would make a disturbingly fitting crossover.
#tales of arcadia#bbc merlin#toa#i mean. think about it. au where the merlin douxie and the gang finds in wizards is bbcm merlin who decided to fuck off and take like a#century-long nap or smth (and also looks old because being dragoon was good for intimidating people) and instead of being kind an asshole#he's just this. grumpy cantankerous old man that hits people over the head a lot#and when everyone goes back in time they ACTUALLY go back to the time when UTHER was still reigning and instead of the running gag being#douxie running around watching his younger self be a dumbass douxie isnt even there and they get to watch merlin be an incredibly powerful#twink instead. douxie is like YOU DIDNT TELL ME YOU AND KING ARTHUR WERE A THING and merlin temporarily turns him into a toad.#this leaves open the possibility for brilliant scenarios such as douxie (who in this au would have been merlin's apprentice#far post-arthur-mortem when gwen was queen and magic was allowed in camelot) seeing gwen as a servant and being like ''QUEEN GUINIVERE??!?''#also instead of merlin being all insifferable about douxie having to ''earn'' his wizard staff he'd just be like GODDAMNIT YOU DONT NEED A#STAFF TO BE GOOD AT MAGIC. I ONLY HAVE THIS THING BECAUSE IT GIVES ME AN AIR OF GRAVITAS#idk how the trolls and trollhunters would fit into this but i just think it would be neat.#it has the potential to make the whole plot with uther marrying the troll funny as hell tho. funnier than it already was anyway#or wait possibly less funny actually. because in this situation trolls would be all civilized and cool and shit AND they'd be ANOTHER entire#group that uther's been trying to master. so it's yet another instance of ''oh woe one of the groups the king commited mass genocide against#is foiling a plot against him. moral conflicts aaa''#bbcm/toa

wikihow to block instagram from only suggesting the kind of bg3 content that involves a specific group of astarion stans shitting on gale over and over again (and straight up ignoring everyone else) as a punchline like it'd be simply inconceivable for anyone to play this game without obsessing over a single character
#ari.txt#text#lowkey at my wits ends#and i like astarion#i really do just as much as i like everyone else tbh#i have my faves as everyone does but i'm lucky enough not to be miffed by a single companion presence#it's just becoming TIRED#it's always the same scenario x1000 and it's truly starting to rub me the wrong way#you do you bro play however you like#kiss the vampire x1000 in every single playthrough#but stop acting like the others are helding you at gunpoint and you and him are the victims of a hatecrime on god#it's even funnier if you think how gale and astarion are actually sopportive of each others in many instances#you're pitting them against each other and for what?!#without even going into the mess that is always excluding wyll from the equation when it's about male love interests

if/when i have a kid I'll offer them time and the best private education i can afford but theyll have to get accepted into a public university. I'll not pay university for anyone
#was talking about it to my bf just now#i graduated twice from two public universities and both of us from USP which is the best uni in LATAM in spite of all#we got accepted to more than one public university when we went thru the entrance exam#well even pay up to 2ys of prep course if our kid wants to go for med school for instance#but thats it#i guess this is my problematic parent trait#but cOME ON to provide a person with the best scenario for them to still fail?????#other ppl around the world would dream of having what you have and still they cant make it???#i remember one speech from angelina jolie where she recognises exactly this#that she was given EVERYTHING to be where she was and thats why she was there#not because she was the best or a genius but because she was given the support the time the contacts the training to get there. its all mon#and that there may be women out there in refugee camps much more talented than her with a bigger drive than her but that could not make it#because of lifes injustices. so yes of course she had to#mr#getting into public unis is not even that hard tbh like my bf said you just have to know how to take the exam#and I'll be content with any public uni#doesnt have to be USP#although itd be a nice little family tradition#like haddad has
