SCP-■■■■■ Beeper

Object Class- Euclid

Special containment procedures-

Scp-■■■■■ is to be kept inside a normal indoor living area and fed a species appropriate diet daily along with daily water changes. Scp-■■■■■ is to be contained along with experienced caregivers who are self aware of the influence of Scp-■■■■■.

Description-

Scp-■■■■■ is what appears to be a normal specimen of the species gallus domesticus, specifically the bantam variety of the buff Brahma breed. Scp-■■■■■ is perceived to be notably cuter than other members of its breed and species.

Special authorization needed to continue reading. Only foundation personel who have completed the Memetics and Infohazards Orientation may proceed.

Scp-■■■■■ Beeper

Object Class- Keter

Description-

Scp-■■■■■ "Beeper" is a small chicken, a Cognitohazard, and a self perpetuating mematic virus with the potential to cause an EP-Class "Thought Tyrant" Scenario.

When a piece of visual media showing Scp-■■■■■ is viewed by a person, they begin to feel intense love and affection towards Scp-■■■■■. Victims of this affect will also feel a compulsion to share this media with others, specifically close friends and family who will then perpetuate cycle.

Viewers who do not have a resilience to cognitohazardious effects may also begin to incorporate strange rituals, language changes, and chants to their daily life while continuing to feel a strong compulsion to share media of Scp-■■■■■. People who are affected that have become informed and self-aware of Scp-■■■■■'s effects are able to think clearly but are still compelled to share media. The foundation believes this is a way for the Scp to always have adequate care that isn't completely befuddled by their anomalous properties.

Special containment procedures-

Scp-■■■■■ must be kept inside a normal indoor living area alongside its caretakers and other members of its species. Scp-■■■■■ must be given daily water changes and fed an adequate species appropriate diet. No steps should be taken to limit the spread of Scp-■■■■■ I mean why would you want to? She is so cute and fluffy. Don't you want to hold her and pet her? She is so cute and nice. I'm sure she would love a little treatie or kissy from you. Your mother loves cute animals. You are sure she would love this picture of Beeper where she looks so sweet. We don't know what she is. A little bird like her couldn't hurt anyone, really? I mean, just look at her, look at her, she is perfect, and she must be shared. I'm sure my friends also want to see her. Her little feathered feet are so adorable. Look at her. I love how she eats her chicken feed. Her beak is immaculate, and her feathers are so soft. She isn't a chicken. I think I'm going to tell my grandparents about her. They love chickens, and they have their own coop. I'm sure they would love Beeper. I love Beeper.

#unreality #horror #just a joke #Beeper #for some reason it wouldnt let me italicized everything i wanted at the last part it would glitch out #and make the whole thing italics and bold for no reason #very bizarre #anyway i hope this gets you in the halloween spirit

Back Rooms Level: 840 - "The Daycare"

Difficulty level: Class 3

Unsafe

Unsecure

Low Entity count

Description

Level 840 is the 841st level of the Backrooms. This level consists of a daycare with various play areas within the daycare walls and an outside area resembling a sort of liminal cafeteria area. A single physical entity called the Daycare Attendant tends to the daycare. It is completely indoors, so has no changing weather conditions and stays around a temperature of 21°C (69.8°F) at all times.

There is a day and night cycle with an instant switch, which will be referred to as “Playtime” and “Naptime”. There is no indication of the light-switch besides a subtle flicker of the lights a couple seconds before the switch itself. The night cycle usually lasts between 1-3 hours and the day cycle can vary from 3-9 hours.

The Mats

The Mats are the main area of the daycare and make up most of the level. Similar to a trampoline park, the floors are hard and matted surfaces. They vary from red to blue mats and cover the entire daycare floor. This is where naptime takes place when the lights are off (“Naptime”).

The Play Structures

Similar to the Tubes and Play Structures on Level 283, this area consists of Tubes and netted hallways colorfully intertwining into each other reaching up to around 15m (~49,2ft) in height. There are ramps leading to different floors of the play structure and half-slides and tube slides, all varying in color. It is not recommended to enter the full tubes as they have a chance of leading travelers to Level 283 and there has been no regularity to how often and which slides send you there.

The Ballpit

The Ballpit is one of the entrance points of Level 840, where in most cases you are greeted by the Daycare Attendant. As far as various communities in the Backrooms have been able to gather such as the M.E.G. and B.N.T.G. there has been nothing out-of-the-ordinary about the ballpit and is completely safe to be in.

The Staff room

The Staff room is currently the only confirmed exit of this Level besides the tubes.. It is a metal door with a push-handle with a “Staff Only” sign roughly at eye-level. Inside this room is another door where the janitor’s closet is located. Sometimes the janitor’s closet will lead to an office building located in Level 11.

The Entrance

The Entrance is located just outside of the daycare, visible from the inside and closed off by an indestructible glass wall almost reaching up to the daycare’s ceiling. Numerous cafeteria-style tables and chairs line up against the outer walls of the daycare, having a grayish color with a green highlight.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

There’s a chance a rainbow patterned slide in Level 283 can lead you to this Level, spitting you out in a ballpit where explorers have reported being greeted by the Sun Man.

Exits

The janitor’s closet within the staff room either leading to Level 11

On rare instances is it theorized if this door can lead travelers to Level “!” aka “Run for your Life”.

Entities

So far there is only one known entity in this Level, but this is still up for debate as it seems to have different “modes” with different rulesets; “The Daycare Attendant”. This entity is 3m (10ft) tall and is incredibly lanky, limbs being no thicker than broomsticks.

In the two standard forms the face has big glowing white eyes and no mouth. The torso’s anatomy is roughly comparable to that of an ant due to the ball-like chest and hip region with a thin middle and puffy shoulder joints. The chestpiece has a half-transparent star which emits a glow similar to the eyes. The thin middle consists of two connecting segments being held together by a joint with a star imprint, also emitting a soft glow. They wear a transparent set of shorts resembling the puffy shorts medieval jesters wore reaching roughly the middle of the thighs. They have ruffles on their neck and feet and have long ribbons with two bells wrapped around each wrist.

The Sun Man

The Sun Man is the Playtime-mode for the Daycare Attendant and is generally passive as long as you remain behaved. He walks around and cleans/picks up the play area of the daycare and will occasionally check up on the travelers. He reacts positively to gifts ranging from drawings to crafts to supplies. He has 7 sharp and pointy rays on his head

When a traveler tries to leave the daycare the Sun Man’s focus shifts immediately and he darts to the entrance doors, quickly retrieving the “escapees”; he will become more aggressive with each attempt, like a tally on each visitor.

When he gets aggressive, the 3rd mode is activated; “The Dark Sun”.

The Moon Man

The Moon Man is the Nighttime-mode for the Daycare Attendant and is generally aggressive or short-tempered. He walks around similar to the Sun Man, although he slouches more and moves in a more sporadic manner. He is very strict about Naptime, killing anyone on sight he deems as a “rule breaker”. He gets aggressive when you try to enter the play structures, although he doesn’t mind the ballpit as long as you stay quiet. He’s easily monitorable even when out of sight due to the bell that drags along the floor from his long hat. It is unknown if the 3rd mode can be activated while the lights are off.

The Dark Sun

The Dark Sun is the 3rd mode of the Daycare Attendant and is very aggressive towards travelers. The activation of this mode should be avoided at ALL COSTS! The appearance of this mode is an uncanny mash-up of both modes, but more sinister and having a dark color palette, like lava or a burning forest. They are very agile and will not calm down until they deem the rulebreaker(s) deceased and anyone unfortunate enough to run into him, despite “behaving”. Your best bet is to hide in the play structures and stay quiet.

Phillip Graves Headcannons

A/N: These are supposed to be somewhat realistic, I lived in Texas for three years on an Army Base & Jesus Christ they’re flooded with plenty of Phillip Graves

Phillip Graves x F! Reader

• You met Phillip while he was on a four-day weekend at a UT vs. Baylor football game

• You were one of the cheerleaders on the sidelines & you caught his eye immediately

• I mean c’mon those shorts & chaps mixed with Pom Poms (The UT Cheer uniform is so stinkin’ cute)

• Your friend pointed him out to you at first

• “Girl that man has been staring at you”

• He was nearly focused on you the entire game, you kept smiling & giggling at him the more he looked

• He found you as you were walking out of the stadium, he asked you out & ofc you said yes

• There’s 100% an age gap (this man’s ego is equally as large as big as Texas)

• If you’re in a sorority he attends the formals with you

• he drives the most lifted extra pick up truck you can imagine

• “Babe can you even see over the damn steering wheel?”

• As you graduate college he proposed to you (with a two carat diamond) & you had a elaborate wedding on his family’s ranch in Texas

• You had multiple wedding dresses designed by Berta bridal

• Surprise Pom dance for him with your cheer teammates

• After the wedding you honeymooned in Italy

• Ofc y’all decided on off post housing so you be able to have every commodity on the planet

• hear me out indoor swimming pool

• Even though you went to college, Graves is a very traditional man he doesn’t want you to work

• You have different hobbies, go to cycle class, shop ofc, get Botox done etc.

• Since he’s a very traditional man I do feel like he’d hold some old fashion views that were engrained in him from childhood

• He’s a religious man to some extent (he’s from Texas there’s no way around that)

• He 100% loves to show you off on & off post

• His Shadows at first were in pure disbelief that he married you, hell some of his Shadows are closer in age to you

• Buys you lululemon work out clothing for the “quality” he loves the way your body looks like those damn align leggings

• You guys do go line dancing & the both of y’all are pretty good at it

• He loves to go to the range to shoot in his free time, & he’s a hunter (I apologize to my fellow animals lovers) but not a trophy hunter

•He conceal carries a handgun at all times

• He makes delicious Deer jerky

• This man collects old Allied WW2 firearms

• He loves History Channel documentaries on WW2

• full on dad stance in front of the tv while watching

• “Honey come look at this!”

• He’s not that old but due to his time in the Marines & current job he does have bad knees, a bad back etc. the cracking his body does is insane

• He does take pills for that & you have to remind him to take them

• Whenever you ask him to read something he whips out his old man glasses

• He is always losing them too, so at work he will wear contacts (no one knows about this at his work)

• “Turn the radio I can’t see”

• He adopted a golden retriever puppy & a German Shepard puppy for you

• They’re your guard dogs when he’s away

• You got pregnant a little bit later in your marriage solely because Phillip was focusing on work a lot in the beginning of your marriage

• He was over the moon excited that you were pregnant

• Your gender reveal was powder inside of a target & be shot at it

• It was blue, you were having a little boy

• He made sure the nursery was set up prior to him leaving

• When you went into labor Phillip was about to go on a mission & it was the most excruciating experience knowing something horrible could’ve happened

• He watched your baby be born on FaceTime. It hurt him to see you upon so much pain & just surrounded by medical staff

• Due to a miscommunication & an ambush he unfortunately got held up

• He didn’t meet your son until a month after you delivered

• He looked at the photo he had of you in his plate carrier in the safe house he was held up in wondering how you & his newborn son were doing

• His Shadows & their significant others gifted you the most beautiful baby gifts once they returned from the missions

• Graves would fall asleep with your baby on his chest in the living room after feeding him in his recliner

• Your son’s little face would be smushed up against Graves’s chest drooling on his t-shirt

• He too would bring your son to work, but once he started crawling (I swear if there’s one thing that will break any hardened military man is a baby)

• Once your little boy is old enough he would play football & baseball

• Graves also helps coach when he can, he too played those sports as a little boy

• He’d also probably take him hunting too & teach him how to live off of the land

• The saying Once a Marine Always a Marine rings true in the Graves’s household

• Just like his old man your little boy joined the Marines

• Graves is a true traditional family man at heart & does everything he can to shield you guys from his line of work

✨NSFW✨

• huge daddy kink, his ego is already big & he loves the idea of you having to rely on him

• Loud office sex whenever you’d visit

• Cockwarming him while he does paperwork

• You’d wiggle around & he’d hold you down

• You went topless in Italy when you went to the beach on your honeymoon, & he constantly was grabbing at your tits

• You adopted the habit of tanning like that in the privacy of your backyard

• Major breeding kink too

• He loves finishing inside of you

• He’ll also use you to take his frustrations out when he’s had a rough day at work

• Lingerie especially red lingerie is his favorite

• He’s 100% a boob man & he’d be happy to pay for fake tits if that’s what you wanted

• You’d 100% wear his cowboy hat while riding him

• He spanks you as a punishment

• You do have sex in the back of his pick up truck under the infamous Texas starry nights

• You two have made so many sex tapes together from all different angles

• He also has so many nudes of you

• One or a couple may have accidentally gotten leaked to his team (this just fed his ego more)

• You’d also probably wear his old marine dress blues for the Marine Corps birthday as you rode him

Taste the Victory: How Peloton Can Use Sensory Branding to Fuel Member Engagement

Have you ever been to an Equinox? How does it make you feel? What do you remember about your experience—do you remember the workout you had or the eucalyptus-scented towels and Kiehl's products in the changing rooms?

The best products I can think of (i.e., Equinox, Apple, Coke, old-growth wines, etc.) are just as much about the sensory experience as they are about the product itself. If I consider great, low-friction products to be table stakes to become a successful company these days, then creating sensory experiences along with those products is how to differentiate the good from the great companies.

Now if you know me then you know that I have had my fair share of sports injuries over the years and that has led me down the path of low-impact, “retiree-style” workouts to stay active. One of my favorite workouts these days is riding on a Peloton. Below I have brainstormed three ideas that Peloton could take to enhance its brand and drive stronger membership growth, engagement, and/or retention.

Post-ride snacks: one of my favorite things about Peloton is the fact that I know that I will be completely gassed at the end of my workout and I know exactly how long my ride will take. If I only have 45min to work out, I know that I can do a 5min warmup ride, 30min HIIT workout, 5min cooldown ride, and be off the bike in exactly 45min. However, I’m always starving when I finish my rides and I don’t always have enough time to make a healthy meal before I need to shower and get on with my day.

What if Peloton partnered with healthy merchants and food delivery apps such as UberEats or Doordash to have healthy snacks or meals delivered right to your door at the end of your workouts. The company could start with a limited number of options to (e.g., smoothies & acai bowls), but this could lay the groundwork for cognitive associations between the workout class and that delicious smoothie that is delivered to your door at the end of the workout. Peloton could even gamify the process by allowing members to earn credits towards their favorite snacks based on rides completed.

2. Workout fan/filter: every time I ride a Peloton I look like I just got out of the swimming pool. One of the challenging things about indoor cycling is that it never gives you the sensory feel of riding outside with the wind in your hair.

Peloton has (essentially) mastered the audio/video elements of workout classes, but the classes are still only three-dimensional. I believe there’s an opportunity to add a fourth dimension to the bikes by adding a Dyson-style fan and air purifier to the bike. This fourth dimension will help cool down riders, give them the sensory experience of riding outdoors, and could even be enhanced with an optional Peloton signature scent. This could be something similar to the eucalyptus-scented towels in Equinox gyms. This scent could be released from the fan after the rides and be a calming fragrance that riders could learn to associate with Peloton.

3. AR Experience: I don’t believe we are there yet, but once AR headsets gain traction Peloton could tap into the immersive experience. Imagine wearing Meta/RayBan glasses and being able to see your friend next to you riding in a Peloton class. I think VR headsets are likely too immersive to wear during a workout class (would likely result in people falling off their bikes or feeling nauseous but AR seems like a much more feasible entry point.

Overall, similar to how sensory-inducing wine labels impacted not just taste but also consumption, a more sensory riding experience on Peloton bikes could create a “halo-effect” to revive the sputtering performance of the company post-pandemic.

Effective Weight Loss Exercises: Achieving Your Ideal Body

Are you on a journey to shed those extra pounds and achieve a healthier, more confident you? If so, you're not alone. Weight loss is a common goal for many, and the key to success often lies in combining a balanced diet with regular exercise. In this blog post, we'll explore a range of effective weight-loss exercises that can help you on your path to a fitter and healthier lifestyle. These exercises are not only great for shedding those extra pounds but also for boosting your overall fitness and well-being.

Cardiovascular Exercises

Cardiovascular exercises, also known as cardio or aerobic exercises, are fantastic for burning calories and aiding in weight loss. Here are some effective options:

1. Running

Whether you prefer jogging in your neighborhood or hitting the treadmill, running is a high-impact exercise that torches calories.

2. Cycling

Biking is a low-impact exercise that's gentle on your joints and can help you burn calories both outdoors and indoors on a stationary bike.

3. Swimming

Swimming is a full-body workout that is easy on the joints and helps you burn calories while improving your cardiovascular health.

4. Jumping rope

This simple exercise is excellent for getting your heart rate up and burning calories. Plus, it can be done virtually anywhere.

Strength Training

Building muscle through strength training is crucial for weight loss. Muscle tissue burns more calories at rest, so increasing your muscle mass can help you burn more calories throughout the day. Try these strength training exercises:

1. Bodyweight Exercises

Push-ups, squats, and lunges are excellent bodyweight exercises that can help build muscle and tone your body.

2. Weightlifting

Incorporating weightlifting into your routine, whether with dumbbells or barbells, can help you increase muscle mass and boost your metabolism.

3. Resistance Bands

These portable and versatile bands can be used for resistance training to target various muscle groups.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

HIIT workouts involve short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief periods of rest or lower-intensity activity. HIIT is known for its efficiency in burning calories and increasing metabolism. You can create a personalized HIIT routine by combining exercises like burpees, mountain climbers, and high knees.

Yoga and Pilates

Both yoga and Pilates offer unique benefits for weight loss. They improve flexibility, balance, and mental well-being, helping to reduce stress and emotional eating. These exercises can be a great addition to your weight-loss plan.

Group fitness classes

Group fitness classes, like spinning, Zumba, or boot camp classes, can make exercising fun and motivational. They often incorporate a mix of cardio, strength training, and social interaction, making it easier to stick to a regular exercise routine.

Conclusion

To achieve effective and sustainable weight loss, it's important to combine a variety of exercises that you enjoy with a balanced diet. Remember that consistency is key, and it's essential to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise regimen, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. By incorporating these weight-loss exercises into your routine and maintaining a healthy diet, you'll be well on your way to achieving your weight-loss goals and living a healthier, happier life.

Lillipup, Herdier, & Stoutland

Lillipup (#506)

Canisborealis familiaris

Lillipup is a normal-type dog Pokémon that evolves twice through level-up. It averages at 1’4 feet (0.4 M) tall and weighs 9 (4.1 kg) pounds. They are, in fact, mostly just fluff and are much scrawnier than one would think them to be at first glance, and are basically the size of a very fluffy house cat. As a fun fact: the fur around their face is sensitive (like whiskers!) to environmental changes, giving them a keen insight to shifts in their surroundings.

Habitat: In the wild, Lillipups and their evolutions are found in the upper half of North America as the ecological substitute for wolves. In captivity, Lillipups are very popular as indoor pets both because of their incredible pack bonding abilities and amicability, and also because they’re surprisingly very quiet.

Life Cycles: Lillipups are born in the Spring (Mid/Late April to as late as mid-May) with the exact timings dependent on their latitude, with northern latitudes having later birth dates than more southern latitudes. Litters are typically between 1 and 4 pups, though in captivity litters have been known to get as large as 12! The eggs are typically laid in February to March, when the parents stay inside their dens for days on end keeping themselves sheltered from the winter weather and their eggs warm.

Lillipups can reproduce starting at level 15 just like normal, however they also evolve into Herdier at level 16, so the realistic chance of wild Lillipups having babies of their own is incredibly slim. They also must be at least 1 year old, whichever developmental milestone comes last, so typically they are not actually having babies of their own until they are almost 2 years.

Typically Lillipups are predated upon by just about anything that would think a 9 pound dog sounds like a delicious snack: snakes, giant spiders, medium to large sized bird Pokémon, and other carnivores. Their main defense against predation are their parents, their pack, and their own intelligence that keeps them wary of strong opponents.

Behavior: Lillipups are intelligent and brave Pokémon, who enjoy initiating battles with worthy opponents but have the sense to flee when they realize their opponent out-classes them and will avoid battle with Pokémon who are far stronger than it in the first place. They are pack bonders, amicable, and surprisingly quiet. Be warned though, that Lillipups remember kindness and malice from the people around it, and they will only retain loyalty to trainers that treat them with love and respect.

Diet: Lillipups are carnivores. In general, wild Lillipups tend to eat small rodents, bugs, and maybe even fish or birds if they can catch them. However, it’s usually the older and stronger members of their pack, specifically the Herdiers and Stoutlands, who do much of the hunting of big game, and the Lillipups are trained on hunting techniques and pack cooperation until they evolve. Until they are old enough to join the hunts, they eat last from whatever kill the pack caught or they snack on rodents and bugs.

Conservation: Threatened (in the wild), Least Concern (in captivity)

Relationship with Humans: Lillipups are incredibly common as starter Pokémon in North America because of their many wonderful qualities that make them Very Good Boys. They are popular as plushies, toys, and are present in many classrooms/day-cares, they’re seen on TV all the time, and they make excellent service Pokémon. They are in a sense, just dogs, and loved every bit as dogs! Lillipups and their evolutions are considered one of the most human-friendly, child-safe Pokémon that we have access to.

It is heavily hypothesized that Lillipups and co. were one of the earliest domesticated Pokémon, if not the earliest, but as many groups throughout the globe domesticated different Pokémon for similar purposes in different regions, it’s hard to know for sure which Pokémon was truly domesticated first.

Classification: Lillipups and its evolutions are given the genus name Canisborealis. They are in the Spiricanis clade with Maschiff, Mabosstiff, Snubbull, and Granbull, which means upon death they have a chance at reincarnating into a Greavard. However, despite the recent common ancestry amongst these dog Pokémon, the Lillipup lineage is strongly evidenced to be the most basal of the lineages. These lines do not descend from each other, rather they descend from a much more ancient dog Pokémon population that no longer exists, and to whom the only evidence that exists for it is in the shared DNA of the Spiricanids. But while the proto-Maschiffs and proto-Snubbulls spread out through Eurasia, the proto-Lillipups entered North America along the Bering Strait.

Of note, while Lillipups and family have been living with humans for thousands of years, as evidenced by cave paintings and ancient writings, these same artistic depictions show that ancestral Lillipups looked much different than the ones we know today, and though Lillipups, Herdiers, and Stoutlands may be fiercesome apex predators of the Yukon, even their wild populations have been heavily influenced by the process of domestication. Of course, the entire Spiricanid clade has been heavily influenced by domestication and its relationship with humans.

Note: Players, your qualifying dog Pokémon can only reincarnate into a Greavard upon death if certain requirements are met: Your dog must have both its affection and friendship stats maxed out.

Herdier (#507)

Canisborealis domesticus

General Information: The evolved form of Lillipup, Herdier continues to be a loyal, intelligent, and kind companion. It averages at 2’11 feet tall (0.9 M) and 32.4 pounds (14.7 kg). Beware: their fur is incredibly dense and horribly unmanageable to brush out—this softens the blows from attacks, but it makes them difficult to groom!

Habitat: The northern half of North America, and also in human homes and apartments.

Life Cycles: Herdiers usually evolve from Lillipups within the first 2 years of its life, but this certainly is not a hard rule. They are often the scouts of the pack, capable of taking down much larger prey than themselves on a regular basis by working together in cooperative hunting, but this tends to scale up to Stantler or Sawsbuck. Herdiers make up the majority of any given pack, but they are also the medium-aged segment of the group, where they are neither rambunctious children, nor do they have the lived experience and wisdom of the Stoutlands in their pack. They are suitable hunters, warriors, parents, and very family-orientated, who care for their young and give their respects to the Stoutlands in their pack. Many Herdiers die in territory disputes with other Pokémon or in hunts gone wrong or from disease, and so most (60%) do not make it to their final evolution.

Behavior: Herdiers are incredibly loyal, smart, and friendly and have great parental instincts. They are a wonderful assistant to have when raising other Pokémon, making them a truly wonderful companion for any Pokémon trainer to have. They are known for obeying their trainers faithfully, but if someone they don’t respect tries to order them around, they will not listen.

Diet: They are carnivores. In the wild, Herdiers hunt medium to large sized prey together, such as Deerlings and Bunearies, but can only take down the largest prey with the help of Stoutlands.

Conservation: Threatened (in the wild), Least Concern (captivity)

Relationship with Humans: Herdiers are incredibly common Pokémon in North American households.

Classification: They are in the genus Canisborealis in the clade Spiricanis.

Stoutland (#508)

Canisborealis malliarosus

General Information: The final evolution of the Best Good Boys is Stoutland, the Big-Hearted Pokémon! This Pokémon has an incredible knack for finding lost travelers in mountains and in blizzards or people buried under snow! It averages at 3’11 feet (1.2 M) tall and 134.5 pounds (61 kg). Its thick fur effectively protects itself and others from freezing temperatures.

Habitat: The northern half of North America, and human households.

Life Cycles: Herdiers are typically at least 5 years old before they evolve into Stoutland, but many take far longer to evolve. Stoutlands are the wisened warriors and grandparents of the pack, who’ve seen many things in their day and know the wiley ways of the wilderness. As the largest members of the pack, and the strongest, Stoutlands are also the ones who will lead hunts on larger game Pokémon, like Stantler, Sawsbuck, Lopunnies, and other Pokémon of similarly large sizes.

Stoutlands are also the most likely to successfully mate with others of its kind. Their impressive volume of fluff also makes them the best at caring for Lillipup eggs, so are usually the ones who stay behind to care for eggs and Lillipups while the Herdiers find smaller prey to bring back.

Stoutlands have been known to live up to 40 years in captivity, but 30 years is a much more typical lifespan. As a member of the Spiricanids, Stoutlands that love their trainers deeply are very likely to reincarnate into a Greavard.

Behavior: Stoutlands are beyond friendly. They love people, and even wild Stoutlands will warm up to humans within a matter of days if treated right. They are wise, loyal, loving, valiant, trust-worthy, kind, intelligent—all the traits needed to be the optimal human companion. Stoutlands are also great trackers and finders with sniffers that can find lost souls in the dead of a winter blizzard.

Stoutlands have “mustaches” that get longer as they get older, of which they are quite proud of! The longer a Stoutland’s mustache, the older it is, and thus the more respect it earns from its pack. It is disrespectful to cut a Stoutland’s mustache.

Diet: Stoutlands are carnivores! Please feed them meat—ah, I said meat, pizza is not good for them. Yes, I know they’re giving you that look, but you should really avoid feeding your dog pizza. In the wild, Stoutlands eat medium to large-sized prey such as Lopunnies, Sawsbucks, Stantlers, and the likes.

Conservation: Threatened (in the wild), Least Concern (in captivity) Like many apex predators, Stoutlands face habit destruction and illegal hunting by humanity. Most of their habitat loss is in the southern regions of their natural range, while populations in Alaska and the Yukon remain fairly healthy.

Relationship with Humans: In farming communities, wild Stoutlands are a real threat to livestock, and hunting them is considered a pre-emptive measure.

But in captivity, Stoutlands are in almost every household in northern regions due to their immense fluffiness (good for keeping warm), and reliability as a hunting dog/guardian dog, as well as their ability to find lost folks. They are practically ubiquitous to the idea of living in the northern regions of North America.

Shed Stoutland fur is sometimes made into textiles, though it is a bit itchy, so it’s best used as an outerwear.

Because of the fact that many Stoutlands end up reincarnating as Greavards, there is a popular media trope called “A Trainer’s First Houndstone.” (see: Greavard & Houndstone for more information)

Classification: Stoutlands are in the genus Canisborealis in the Spiricanids.

・❥・ East ˗ˏˋ꒰ 🌷 ꒱

Moodboard & Information credit: @moonlight1237

What East Looks like:

By: Ariel Nora/Bruna Nora

Her description, very tanned sun-kissed skin, sometimes looks like she's been out working hard on something or is perfectly clean and polished. Very fluid in her height, and weight sometimes skinny sometimes heavier but always well toned. Long curly hair typically black but sometimes a bronzen color, sometimes done up in a hair wrap/scarf or down. Frizzy lots of the time with flowers or sprigs of plants in it. Typically in a long/medium skirt or dress, occasionally armor is occupied with the outfit. Her ears are commonly the ears of a deer. A sweet but commanding energy very caring, and patient, very quick to respond through clairaudience. Her eyes are a golden ring that fades into a molten copper and brown color. Her lips are darker than her skin tone and she has a thicker top lip. Her nose and ears were pierced but the jewelry and placement sometimes changed, she had a larger nose and her eyes squint a little, a very warm energy.

Hello, Tumblr nation

I wrote and illustrated a simple story for my class (instead of doing a presentation about shopping), so now I'm going to share it with all of you: Ehem, it is called

'Molly's miserable life'

Molly was just your average mouse. Well, maybe not exactly average, since she was way too fluffy for a mouse, had dappled fur, and her tail was too long.

Her personality didn’t match a regular mouse either. She was way too inquisitive, irrational, rebellious and her sleep cycle was off. Or so thought her parents.

Her life was as average as she was. She could never find a place for herself in her own house. It seemed to Molly that her parents made it their goal to make her as ashamed of herself, as it was possible. She thought of cutting off her fluff, but she could never bring herself to truly do it, so instead she opted to wear a cloak.

Molly’s life wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t miserable either. After all, she was fed and had a roof over her head. That had to count for something, right?

But one day, her life turned truly miserable. That was when her parents finally had had enough with her.

“You wretched child! I wish to see you no longer!” her mother screamed, “Go and live your own miserable life, let us be no part of it!”

Her father threw Molly’s pouch at her, “And take this waste with you!”

They shut the door in front of Molly, as she stood there, dumbfounded; screams still ringing in her ears. It took her a moment to compose herself, but eventually she did.

“I’ll need a new home,” she thought, “and for that I’ll need many things. But first, I’ll have to think of a shopping list.”

She decided to think of it on her way downtown, to the market, but her thoughts immediately went in the other direction. She had never been to the market, but she heard stories of it. Going there was her best bet, even though it would be tiring, as it was a long way from here. But she had no other choice. Going to the nearest kiosk wouldn’t provide Molly with anything of use, unless she wanted to get lung cancer or pick up crossword puzzles. And that wasn’t something she planned on doing in the near future. Besides, she wouldn’t even be able to get into the kiosk.

An indoor shopping centre, which was just a few streets down, was also off the table. Shopping centres, more often than not, are awfully pristine. Molly would be spotted in seconds on those white floors. And people don’t react well to rodents being found in their spaces, so in the best case scenario she would be instantly thrown out. She didn’t want to think of the other scenarios, as she had already experienced enough trauma for the day.

At that point, Molly had walked quite the distance, and her paws ached, but she wasn’t keen on giving up just because she felt a little pain. She was stubborn like that. Or perhaps she wanted to prove her parents wrong. Maybe it was both.

Suddenly a loud, almost hysterical, barking rang out from behind Molly. Startled out of her musings, she jumped around.

She saw a big king shepherd dog trying to run away from a huge air dancer; the dog’s scrawny owner was holding it back, miraculously not falling over. Molly instantly felt at ease. She knew them. Those two always went to the market to sell food there.

“Oh, oh,” she realised she could hitch a ride to the market. Her parents always warned her not to hitchhike, but they weren’t there now.

Grabbing the pouch with her mouth, Molly darted towards the dog on all fours. She jumped and grabbed onto its big tufts of fur, climbing into the undercoat jungle. After she had settled herself in the pelt, she released the pouch and relaxed.

“That was amazing. Best thing I’ve ever done. I didn’t even have to pay a fare,” she whispered to herself. Molly lied down and with a foreign feeling of proudness, she continued thinking about various shops.

“Living in a supermarket would be perfect. Hiding in the storage room, eating different food every day, watching people come and go from the top of the shelves. Heaven come to earth”. Sadly that was only wishful thinking of Molly’s. Surprisingly, there weren’t any supermarkets nearby in that area, even though it was a big city.

Molly then pondered about the market she was heading to. What would it look like? What would she do once she got there? She heard it was always crowded, so she would need to avoid being stepped on. She also knew that there was everything, though it was hard to comprehend how that was possible, but if that was, indeed, true, then she would be living a royal life.

Or just a good mouse’s life because to be a royal you probably needed to be rich, and Molly was hard up, especially for the human currency. But was it possible that ‘rich’ didn’t exactly imply cash? Molly decided not to continue that tangent of thoughts, and instead let herself drift off.

In about 30 minutes she woke up from a harsh landing onto the hard ground. The dog shook itself off, which sent Molly flying. Dazed, she urgently looked around to see if there was any danger nearby. Thankfully, she fell close to a metal pole of some kind, which all the people walked around. She groggily reached out to her pouch and brought it close to her fluffy chest. She then sat there for a moment to compose herself. For the second time that day. She felt awfully free. Molly inspected herself and to her horror there was no cloak.

“Where has it gone?!” Not thinking clearly, she ran from the safety of the pole’s proximity into the open area, filled with people. Scurrying around left and right, trying to avoid being stepped on and searching for her clothing, Molly wandered into the butcher’s stall.

That took her out of her trance, as she saw dead animals and their meat hanging off the massive iron hooks. Her hackles rose, she forgot about her coat; her mind was empty. She stood still, chained by fear. Seconds seemed to last infinitely long. Never in her life had Molly experienced such a terror.

And suddenly she was lifted into the air and, with confidence in the abductor’s steps, being carried away from the stall. Still speechless from what she had experienced a mere moment ago, she silently struggled to free herself from the unknown’s grasp.

“Stop wriggling or I’ll drop you,” muffledly said to her the creature.

Feeling a surge of bravery or maybe adrenaline, Molly squeaked, “I’d rather stay a homeless mouse and be dropped onto the floor than be kidnapped!”

He quietly took in her answer and replied.

“If I did that, you’d run off, and I am not in the mood to race after an insane mouse. Furthermore…” the abductor went on a long rant, but Molly tuned him out, trying to take a peek at his face, which was a hard thing to do as she was being carried by the scruff.

“What even are you…”, she accidentally blurted out, and then covered her mouth in shock of what she had just done. Molly was sure that was the end. The offender must have been appalled by her boldness, and was going to kill her for it, but instead he just said, “I am a cat.”

Great, Molly was going to be eaten. She was sure of it. She didn’t even get to live a miserable life, only a miserable end. Truly awful.

“And no, I am not eating you.”

Molly was about to ask whether the cat was lying, but got cut off by him speaking once more, “And I am not lying either. I only eat what my owner, the Butcher, provides.”

She didn’t want to think of that scary place, so instead she listened intently to the cat. Taking her silence as a sign to continue, he did just that.

“You see, it’s good for the business. I don’t kill the local, so-called “pests”, I make a deal with them. They can eat whatever they want from all the butchers’ stalls but ours, so the quality of our stall is always top-notch compared to the others.”

That was a good strategy Molly thought. But why was he still carrying her then? She asked just that, but in reply she got dropped.

“Rude,” she mumbled.

“That’s your new home. I am off now, bye,” said the cat, as if it had explained anything, and jumped off the stall’s roof. Wait, the stall’s roof?! Molly hadn’t noticed how she had been brought there, and was quite at a loss for words, not only from the situation, but also her own obliviousness.

She turned around and saw a tear in the cloth of the roof, marked blue with what she assumed was paint. Molly timidly entered it and saw a big group of all kinds of critters inside. The space was lit up by fairy lights, there was food, beddings made from yarn, water bottles, even toys.

Everyone was staring at her, and she was doing just the same to them. Then one of them stepped towards her. It was a small rat with one eye.

“Hello, are you here to join us?”

“Yes,” absentmindedly said Molly, but then quickly corrected herself, “I mean, what? What are you? What is this place?”

The rat just smiled warmly, “I see, Felidae, the cat that had brought you here, hasn’t filled you in on anything, has he?”

Molly simply shook her head, and the rat continued, “Well, we are a group of misfits that live here,” at the word ‘misfits’ the rat pointed at its eye. “We are all like a big family! And there are a lot of us, so I am sure you’ll find at least one friend here, don’t worry.”

It then held out its paw to Molly, “here, let me introduce you to everybody.”

After a long introduction of the whole group, Randy, the first rat that Molly had met, led her out to the roof to explain their usual schedule and any other miscellaneous things.

He pointed out all kinds of stalls: the scary butchers’ and fishmongers’ stalls, where they would often steal meat; the florist’s, from which they’d take flowers for decorating; the greengrocers’ stalls, which were also often the targets of their heists; the haberdashery, which was a spectacular place for getting all kinds of materials for their base.

Randy explained that it was easier for them to just steal things, though if Molly preferred to instead steal money from the lost wallets, and then leave it at the stalls that would also be fine.

Molly decided to stay with the misfits, and with time she got the hang of their way of doing things. It was good, she wasn’t being shamed for being different, so maybe, living her miserable life wasn’t as bad as she had thought it would be.

IDOLS, LET’S GET TO PLOTTING! 🛬

For refreshment about the trip, head over here! A small twist of this trip is you’ll choose what you want revealed about your idol’s love status. It’s not mandatory. You can pick whether you want things to be kept hushed or revealed. If you want more details about the villa, then you can browse this page.

Okay, onto activities! Down below, you’ll find further ideas for plots! Feel free to use any location. We hope you this will give you plenty of time to plot!

Dining:

Have you ever enjoyed a dinner under water? Explore the world’s first underwater wine cellar before you reach a dining room totally surrounded by the sea. Watch sharks, turtles and tropical fish swim by as you savour gourmet dining at its finest. [ page ]

If the underground restaurant is too much, then there is a rooftop bar that serves dinner that overlooks the ocean. The place is surrounded by lights once it gets too dark, but please, remember to bring a sweater or warm clothes since it could get a little chilly at night. [ page ]

Want something a little more personalized? Devise your perfect menu along with the chef and be served in your choice of location by a private butler. Your choices could be: on the beach, private yacht, outside your sundeck patio.

Want to be near a pool? We got you. Have breakfast, lunch, or dinner wedged between a bar and a pool. You’ll still have a view of the beach.

What about staying at home? Lucky for your idols, your villas have 24 hour host that’ll be one phone call away if you choose to have breakfast indoors or have a special dinner.

Maldivian, Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, & International restaurants are also spread out throughout the island that your idol will have tons more to choose from!

Activities:

Island Hopping: try with friends, significant other, or alone! Set sail to uninhabited islands and naturally formed sandbanks. Let the sun’s rays dance across your skin in this endless oceanic paradise. Stop your boat, and swim alongside tropical fish in a quiet lagoon. Get a taste of village life as you spend time on some of the inhabited islands.

Beach Games: Let’s gather a group, and get to playing! Slap on the sun cream, and get down to the sand for a healthy dose of adrenaline. Perfect your serve in volleyball or knock a winning shot across the badminton net. Table tennis is also available!

Yoga and Meditation: Be inspired by the surroundings as you stretch out at sunrise. A Yoga Guru will help you achieve new levels of relaxation as you concentrate your breathing. Feel the energy flow through your body as you slide into new poses. Group evening classes are also available along with private lessons at the location of your choice!

Cycling: Hop on one of the resort bicycles for a tour around the island at your own pace. Coconut palms frame your path as you pass relaxing scenes on your journey. Free for use, bicycles are available for exploration at your leisure.

Parasailing: Rise into the sky behind a fully rigged parasail boat. The reefs are visible from the air, rewarding your idol with a magnificent view. Soar with a partner or go alone. This will be an unforgettable experience for your idol!

Water Sports: Kayaking, Paddle Boarding, Jet Ski, Seadart, Snorkel. You’ll find an endless amount of choices when it comes to the activities in the reef! If you decide to explore further in, then you’re more than welcome to do so! You’ll have experts at hand to help your idol if they’re unsure about going into open water. If not, then sticking by the reef would be the best bet for them. Hang out with turtles, dolphins, and plenty of fish!

Fishing: Climb aboard for some private fishing. Your captain and crew will guide your idol to the best fishing spots around the island!

Dolphin Watching: Head off to dolphin watch for the afternoon! You’ll get a private lesson to drive deep in case you choose to have a closer view of the dolphins.

Valentine’s Day Activities:

Sunset Cruise: Rent a private yacht for the day, and sail across the Maldivian sky! Cherish quiet moments with your loved one. Light snacks and beverages are provided when you board, and you’ll have a private chef at your disposal if you choose to have a romantic dinner.

Cinema Under the Stars: Recline on a comfortable sofa beneath the twinkling Maldivian sky. A big screen under the stars show a variety of classics along with recent blockbusters. However, tonight we’ll be playing some recent movies to put your idol into a romantic mood. 20th Century Girl, Sweet & Sour, Love & Leashes, and Be with You will be playing.

Stargazing: Bring a blanket, and enjoy the night sky with your loved one. Map out the sky, and have an endless amount of wine or cocktails to pass the time.

Slumber Guru: Drift into your best night’s sleep with the help of the slumber guru. It’s an in-villa treatment that begins with a warm minty bath lit by candles. You’ll have a couple’s massage, have a private chef that will cook a romantic dinner, and a private viewing of the ocean. It’s a romantic getaway from your villa!

Sail Away Overnight: Experience an adventure on board with your loved one. Spend the day cruising, and stop to enjoy a private snorkeling experience. Bring comfy and warm clothes since it could get chilly over night!

Still can’t figure what plot you want? Couple rings always help make any plot interesting! If that’s too cheesy, then you can have promises made to each other. Who doesn’t love a good old fashion confession about their undying love by a beautiful scene? I love you goes a long way!

If you want to surprise everyone and throw us in for a loop: Try a proposing plot. We love to see them! Even juicier? A rejected proposal. Doesn’t have to mean that they’re breaking up! Just maybe not now?

We can’t wait to see what you guys come up with! Have fun! We realize we still have a while left to go before the trip comes up, but we wanted to try something new! Also, sorry this got out of hand, lol. We tried our best to be as detailed as possible to give everyone plenty of options.
