Learning anything about marine mammal training will make you re-evaluate so much of your relationship with your own pets. There is so much force involved in the way we handle domestic animals. Most of it isn’t even intentional, it just stems from impatience. I’m guilty of it myself!
But with the exception of certain veterinary settings where the animal’s health is the immediate priority, why is it so important to us that animals do exactly what we want exactly when we want it? Why do we have to invent all these tools and contraptions to force them to behave?
When a whale swam away from a session, that was that. The trainer just waited for them to decide to come back. If they flat out refused to participate in behaviors, they still got their allotment of fish. Nothing bad happened. Not even when 20-30 people were assembled for a procedure, and the whale chose not to enter the medical pool. No big deal. Their choice and comfort were prioritized over human convenience.
It’s almost shocking to return to domestic animal medicine afterwards and watch owners use shock collars and chokers and whips to control their animals. It’s no wonder that positive reinforcement was pioneered by marine mammal trainers. When you literally can’t force an animal to do what you want, it changes your entire perspective.
I want to see that mindset extended to our domestic animals.

Imagine for a moment that reincarnation is real... and now imagine senior, gray muzzle Vasco rescuing a sickly albino horse who seems very frightened and uncomfortable with the concept of being a horse. Vasco is too old and frail to ride anymore, as you've mentioned in the past if i remember correctly, but he takes this horse in.
No one at the stable can even make eye contact with this pale steed without its ears pinning back and its eyes threatening to bulge out of its head. However, Vasco visits every day he is physically able to, so he can gently comb its mane and tail and handfeed it oats and hay, since it refuses to eat otherwise.
Vasco doesn't give the horse a name, but in a voice soft enough for the two of them to hear, he calls it various old pet names only he should know. He swears the horse's eyes light up at his words despite not fully believing the possibility.
Regardless, they comfort each other.
.
#hwhhhaugh#you can't just whip up a sad elderly horse girl Vasco scenarios and make me read them with my own two eyes#probably the last of many horses he's had#hhhwh#'various old pet names only he should know'#answered#majima420#I don't know much about horses but I think I've read that horses are never truly albinistic? or that there are no comfirmed cases of them?#horse people do you know whether that's true? or am I just not misunderstanding the whole thing#but if it's a sufficiently white/pink horse to bear a resemblance does it matter in story context#'uncomfortable with the concept of being a horse' hehe#Vaschete scenarios

ZOSAN AND MECHANICAL BULL SHENANIGANS?! sign me up, yes please.
post inspired by @bidisastersanji 's fantastic prompt, though slightly different since I kept it in the canon verse instead of making it a modern au.
buckle up children, get ready to go bull riding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is so stupid," Zoro grumbles.
"Can you enjoy anything, for once in your life?" Sanji plucks the cherry from his drink and tosses it into his mouth.
"I can, just not this."
Apparently, watching people get thrown off of a sad excuse for a mechanical bull in some shoddily made ring is supposed to be enjoyable. Zoro has lost count of the number of parties he's been dragged to by his captain, but watching people compete this way for a fucking cowboy hat has to be the least entertaining thing he's ever seen.
"Stop being such a buzzkill. Anyways, it's 'cause these people are fucking terrible," The cook says as he plays with the cherry stem between his teeth. "We had one of these at the Baratie; even Carne could stay on longer than these losers." Sanji downs the rest of his drink, muttering something under his breath.
Flash forward fifteen minutes (and a few drinks), and Zoro is ready to fall asleep. Next to him, Sanji has gotten progressively more vocal about how bad the partygoers are at riding around on the contraption in front of them. The crowd circling the ring has also gotten progressively bigger, squishing them shoulder-to-shoulder.
"Put your goddamn back into it!" The cook cups his hands and shouts to the man up next, who is currently trying to avoid getting rocketed into a wall as the bull violently bucks around. However, the blond's proximity to Zoro also means he shouts right in his ear.
"Do you ever shut up?" Zoro gripes.
"You shut up," Sanji replies, angrily nursing a margarita he stole off a waiter's tray.
"I wasn't even-- I hate you."
About thirty seconds go by before the cook exclaims in exasperation, throwing his hands in the air and almost spilling his drink all over Zoro. "Everyone's fucking incompetent!"
Zoro groans. "Stop complaining like you could do any better, curly-brow."
"I'm offended that you think I couldn't!" Sanji shouts over the cheering of the crowd as another person gets bucked off.
Zoro thinks the cook could last a lot longer than anyone up there, but he doesn't say that -- Sanji's ego is big enough.
"Here, marimo. Hold my drink," Sanji pushes the half-empty glass into Zoro's hands. "Let's make a bet. How long do you think I can stay on?"
"Curly, you're drunk."
"Answer the goddamn question."
Forever, if Sanji really tried. "Five seconds."
Sanji shoots him an offended look. "Jesus, where's your faith?" With that, he turns away and pushes himself to the front of the group of bustling people.
Sure enough, Zoro's watching the cook clamber into the ring, a lit cigarette in his mouth (where did he get that from?) and the worst posture Zoro's ever seen.
The cook hops onto the mechanical bull, grabbing onto the metal grip before pointing and yelling at someone in the corner to start it up.
The thing starts slowly at first, and Sanji's hair sways as the bull moves back and forth. the cook barks again at some unseen person, and then it really starts to ramp up.
The bull starts bucking hard, the force at which it travels increasing each time it swings. Zoro would be worried if he didn't recognize the look of smug anticipation on Sanji's face as he straightens up, even from back in the crowd. He's about to pull some crazy-ass stunt.
When the bull leans forward, The cook uses the momentum to push himself off the handlebars from a seated position and into a handstand, twisting around to plant his feet on the saddle as he comes down.
Sanji moves fluidly with the machine, hips shifting in every direction it leans to keep himself firmly onboard. while the crowd roars, Zoro watches every movement Sanji makes with rapt attention. the blond rocks with the bull, hands now in his pockets and lips still wrapped around the cigarette he pulled from out of nowhere.
He pulls a few more tricks, long, muscular legs propelling him up to balance on the wooden horns of the bull - and gives a cheeky wave to the crowd. Goddamn. Zoro wishes that didn't work on him.
Sanji finishes up his routine with a flourish, doing an aerial and landing smoothly in a crouch on the hay floor of the ring. The crowd cheers even louder than before, and some tubby man comes out to give the cook a pink, bedazzled cowboy hat. The sea of people parts and leaves Zoro standing there awkwardly as Sanji saunters towards him.
"How's that for five seconds, Greenie?" the blond spins the hat around on his finger.
Zoro grunts and tries to suppress the flush on his face. "I could do better."
Sanji rolls his eyes, taking back his drink. "Sure you could. Anyways, I could last a lot longer than that in... other things, y'know?" Sanji makes eye contact with him as he downs the rest of his margarita. "What's that phrase again... ride a bull, fuck a cowboy?" He shrugs, placing the cowboy hat on Zoro's head then looking him up and down. "Eh, close enough."
If Zoro had liquid in his mouth, he would have done a spit take. "What!?"
The blond smirks and puts his cigarette out in the bottom of his glass. "You heard me, marimo. Now- WHERE'S THE FUCKING BATHROOM?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sanji: i really wanna fuck a cowboy rn *puts cowboy hat on zoro*
Zoro: *shocked, confused, bewildered*
Sanji: That'll do, i guess
eughhh writers block hit me so hard for like 3 days and i rushed to get this out so this might be kinda terrible. wrote it in like 7 minute intervals over the course of a day so some things might not connect?? lmfao..... sleep deprivation is so fetch.
thibking of making an a03 account..... ill let yall know if i do!!!! hope u enoyed reading this pls comment i really appreciate it !! <3333
#one piece#zosan#vinsmoke sanji#roronoa zoro#zosan brainrot#one piece zosan#sanji one piece#zoro one piece#zoro is whipped..... i dont blame him#Sanji using quotes to fuel his mischevious agenda.#save a horse ride a cowboy#or something...#they are so#lgbtq#gay people!!!#just kiss already

"Would you like to come hunting with me, Reek? Maybe try holding the rein and sit close to me? You would've wanted to leech my warmth."
ink, watercolor, gouache and extensive editing in digital
#my art#fanart#my fanart#thramsay#traditional art#this one was tough... the watercolor phase has the values all messed up and blended together#but perseverance through a bad piece for a decent result is worth the effort sometimes#whipped out my gouache pencil colors and everything to save this piece#i'm happy with the result. the dulled color of gouache rly lends itself well to atmosphere#what a date. horse riding with your master#he'll use you as the bait tho

Has anyone articulated a name for that particular genre of online work that takes easily recognisable pop culture characters and remixes them into something profound and absurd at the same time. Like stuff like Mr Boop, Shag and Scoob, that one comic about Bobby KingoftheHill giving marriage counselling to Bart Simpson and that Family Guy lad. Like it’s definitely fanfic adjacent but it’s also so different. There’s something here but idk someone smarter than me work it out.
#clefairy squeaks#Something about taking pop culture stock characters that are inherently from work where nothing can ever change#Where they can only ever be afforded a limited amount of depth#And pulling them together in a way that is visually absurd and funny until it’s NOT#Like using that Trojan horse of absurdity to pull people in until you crack the irony barrier and whoops people are feeling things now#About Neo and Morpheus holding hands in bed#Urgh that sonic comic that’s like…about messy poor lefty gays lives!!!#I can NEVER refind it when I want it but it whips and belongs here

ignore me ranting in the tags i am aware i am being absolutely insufferable
#i feel like i’m in the wrong for feeling annoyed but i see so many slow horses tv fans getting it so wrong abt the characters#like I KNOW everyone can enjoy the media however they want and its obnoxious of me to be like ‘ahem in the books xyz’ but still :/#i saw a post of someone calling river rich bc he whipped out a £50 note in the show#he is barely even making enough to pay his rent in south east london. cash use is a spy thing thats why he carries heaps w him#but the show doesnt even explain any of that so like i get it#anyway rant over but i genuinely cannot recommend the books enough#some of the best stuff ive ever read#slow horses#river cartwright
