gotta do voice training to sound like david humphrey’s shadow the hedgehog

youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.

All they have is each other

Do you think bracken and nutcracker know what the employee items are or do they try to figure it out when an employee dies and drops a zap gun or something (If they didnt already figure out what it is the hard way)

Ok so Id like to think that the bracken knows what it is but nutcracker doesnt because nutcrackers can be killed easily without a zap gun if youre skilled enough but you need a zap gun to kill a bracken (well not anymore after version 45 ppl are going crazy with the shotgun) YOUVMADE ME THINK ABOUT THIS TOO HARD THIS PROLLY WASNT THAT DEEP.

Was this even a request idek doesnt matter not like I spent 6 hours on this or anythign

Okay so I sort of fell face-first into the Star Trek fandom and went on a Spirk fic reading spree. And, as is usual with my reading, I latched onto a plot that my brain is going nuts over.

There was a fic where Kirk found out he was like, 1/16th Vulcan because some industrious Vulcan lady a while ago decided the only logical way to experience Earth was to settle down and have kids there with a native and not tell anybody. Anyway, its very amusing, turns out Kirk is the last living descendent of some noble Vulcan house and as such can inherit quite a few profitable investments and a potential future High Council seat if he wants, though his taunts of assuming such a position to annoy Spock fall on the back burner when he suddenly goes into Pon Farr because of course he does.

But my brain immediately latched onto 'part-Vulcan Jim Kirk' and went a tiny bit rabid.

So the idea arrived. Kirk, completely unaware of his Vulcan ancestry, encounters Shenanigans on an Away Mission as is customary. Alien medical tech goes a bit bonkers and the captain is hit but physically okay, just unconscious. Bones will still give him hell when he wakes up but Spock can breathe easy. The Shenanigans were mild this time. Or were they? Turns out the medical tech actually did do something. It stimulated the latent Vulcan genes, artificially encouraging growth and change at an incredibly rapid pace, not eleminating Kirk's humanity but elevating him from Human with Vulcan spice, to almost even half n' half.

So we get poor Kirk waking up with undisciplined telepathic powers, a much stronger body, and the worst headache known to humanoids. Bones discovering his patient has miraculously decided to switch species overnight. And poor, poor Spock who just got over the minor heart attack of the previous incident and is now face to face with the prettiest Vulcan he has ever fucking seen.

Because half-Vulcan!Jim is blond, blue-eyed, and radiating 'confused kicked puppy' vibes like the world's most attractive telepathic foghorn.

Bonus points if Spock goes into Pon Farr early because Jim is projecting so much emotion and is also just That Pretty.

OKAY EVERYONE ELSE GOT TO PLAY WITH FERAL CLIVA NOW I GET FERAL CLIVA ITS MY TURN WITH THE TOYS >:(

might do more with this, might not, either way have these :)

(sidenote if i started drawing clay's hair like this who would get mad >3> cause im tempted its cute its got a fluffy vibe here)

the funniest thing about Natsu classing himself as a bad boy (him wearing that shirt saying bad boy) is that he may destroy everything and fight people but he’s actually a good boy let’s be honest

the art of him wearing the bad boy shirt is just him trying to match Lucy’s “I only date bad boys” shirt

I THINK IM GONNA CRY

piko piko

my astarion hot take

i'm sorry guys i do actually HC that astarion was temporarily sex repulsed, but not in an ace way. i do think he has a moment of 'ohmygod was i ace???' and then realizing he's just blood starved and also has to get out from being crushed by the weight of being viewed only in terms of sex. it's not sex-repulsed bc he doesn't like sex, but repulsed bc of the baggage that comes with it.

and like having to deal with the fact that he objectified himself the same way caz was, but there was no force this time. he just fell into old habits. and repulsion that omg can i fucking control myself ??? after nearly two centuries of not having to show an OUNCE of self-control bc Caz had them so closely controlled.

but then the freedom of no longer being repulsed bc he's been freed of enough weight from his guilt and self-loathing to not only no longer be repulsed, but eager to try new experiences - with someone he's certain won't only view him as a sex object. who will still see him for who he is beyond that one moment they share.

I forgive you-

Like, Killcode in execution wasn't too scary which is understandable bc of the nature of the show n such but like. Could u imagine??? The idea of Killcode at the start was basically "your biggest flaw has turned into its own being and it's hungry." It's hungry and it's scratching and it wants out and it will do anything to get that freedom. It will rip at you from the inside out if need be and there is nothing you can do about it.

Like maybe I've been looping "that unwanted animal" too much but I think that + a more scary and feral KC could be sooooo fascinating. I just want Sun to look at Moon in the eyes and instead of seeing his brother, he sees nothing but red eyes and white pupils that are looking at him with a primordial hunger.

Underrated (or simply unknown) hungry tummy kink fuel is trans guys who go on T and suddenly get insanely hungry from the hormone. This happened to me when I started, and god at the beginning it felt like my stomach was just absolutely rumbling constantly. I was starving all the time, even when I stuffed myself full sometimes my brain still sent hunger signals for a bit, and I'd have to stop myself from making myself sick eating so much.

I also got crazy horny which also happens on T but with the added hunger aspect it was... Listen if you're a trans guy starting T and you have a hunger kink you'll be having a time is all I'll say alright

Now obviously I wouldn't want people to be fetishizing the transness part of this scenario but like, if you ever want to have a trans guy OC for your hunger kink blog, you get that boy some gender affirming care and he'll be a whole fountain of hunger for ya

I was rewatching AWE the other day and got remembered of Davy's absolutely feral growl in this scene. I have no idea whether it was scripted this way or not, but I'm glad they left it in because honestly - I absolutely love it. and I kind of want more feral Davy now

Do you have any advice on how you handled things with Melis? I have an opinionated, growly bitey terrier mix 5 mo puppy that I'm still trying to figure out as she's my first dog, and her behaviors remind me a lot of your posts on Melis as a puppy. I don't want to be unfair to her but I don't have other dogs that would help teach her manners. Just last night when I was about to put her in a different room after repeated nipping to chill out, she barked at me in a sort of UGHHH FINE way, then FINALLY entertained herself a toy. Thanks!

Honestly, I felt like a lot with Melis was just having a wild fuckin guess and then being very relieved when my reading of her turned out to be right. My only real advice is to learn as much as you can about dog language and signals, and get to know your dog really really well. Talk to people who can see her with their own eyes and whose opinions you trust. For me, the thing that wouldve made a major difference with my first puppy was having a better grasp of overstimulation and stress.

Puppies WANT things to be comfortable and fun and to eat good food and have good times. That's pretty much it. The task at hand is to give them plenty of opportunities to learn what types of behaviour makes everything fun for everybody, and not (accidentally) lean into those that may be fun for them but not for you. Figuring out the balance between setting your boundaries and not pushing her boundaries can be surprisingly challenging, especially if you have a dog whose immediate reactions are either >:0 or >:D Melis was very engangement driven (she'd bite and growl and pester for hours on end if allowed to) so often, offering a different type of engagement would be more constructive than disengaging. We still struggle with frustration when we stop her doing something she's decided to do - redirection is the key of course, but theres nothing more important to a baby spitz than what the baby spitz has decided in that moment is important 😅

Having other dogs around is a hit or miss imo, not all dogs are good teachers! We're lucky that we have a group with decently congruent rules and good communication, but we still supervise and referee most of the interactions that happen with a puppy involved, and dog-human manners always have to be taught by a human.

But 5-6 months is an age that I think it should be illegal for puppies to be, so honestly? Do your best, hold on, don't hold it against them.
