2024.05.13 23:06 fornothing_atalll Folklore; Saci!
 | In the depths of Brazilian folklore and African mysticism lies the enigmatic figure of Saci. submitted by fornothing_atalll to PsycheOrSike [link] [comments] Saci existed before he first appeared in Brazil. As the winds of fate blew across the Atlantic, Saci traversed the ocean currents, carried by the souls of the enslaved. In Brazil, he found a new home, a land where the rhythms of African drums mingled with the melodies of Portuguese guitars. Here, Saci adapted to his new surroundings, blending seamlessly into the new world of Brazil. He is a one-legged black man, who smokes a pipe and wears a magical red cap that enables him to disappear and reappear wherever he wishes. Considered an annoying prankster in most parts of Brazil, and a potentially dangerous and malicious creature in others, he nevertheless grants wishes to anyone who manages to trap him or steal his magic cap. In Brazil, Saci is known as a folkloric figure, often depicted as a young black boy with a red cap and a smoking pipe. He roams the countryside on one leg, his other leg lost in the struggles of history. With his mischievous grin and supernatural abilities, Saci delights in playing pranks on unsuspecting travelers and farmers. An incorrigible prankster, the Saci causes no major harm, but there is no little harm that he won't do. He hides children's toys, sets farm animals loose, teases dogs—and curses chicken eggs, preventing them from hatching. In the kitchen, the Saci spills salt, sours the milk, burns the bean stew, and drops flies into the soup. If a popcorn kernel fails to pop, it is because the Saci cursed it. Given half a chance, he'll dull your pencils, lose your favorite pens and cups. If he sees a nail lying on the ground, he turns the point up. In short, people blame anything that goes wrong—in or outside the house—on the Saci. Besides disappearing or becoming invisible (often with only his red cap and the red glow of his pipe still showing), the Saci can transform himself into a striped cuckoo, an elusive bird whose song seems to come from nowhere. One can escape a pursuing Saci by crossing a water stream. The Saci dares not cross, for then he loses all his powers. Another way is to drop ropes full of knots. The Saci is compelled to stop and undo the knots. One can also try to appease him by leaving behind some cachaça, or some tobacco for his pipe. Is Saci real? Or do humans need an excuse to blame misfortune? To me Saci represents in Brazilian culture a mischievous way to screw with the power-that-be during the transatlantic slave-trade. Now he became not only a deity, but a representation of messing with someone who is above your station (without getting caught of course) |

2024.05.13 18:25 ThrowRA457189 Update to previous post: I feel like my life is over.
The update: I flew home to talk in person because she wouldn’t really talk about it over the phone.
She picked me up from the airport but wouldn’t talk on the way to the house because our 16yo was in the car. When we got to the house, she said it was too late to talk. We went to sleep.
The next day was her birthday. She spent the day out with her friends. I took my daughter to pick out some flowers and a card for her mother. I hung out with the kids all day. We went out for lunch, watched some movies together, and I cooked dinner.
Over dinner, we talked about the situation and what their understanding and expectations were. They were under the impression that nothing was decided yet and the desire for a separation was mutual. I told them the truth. I have no desire to separate from their mother and had no idea she felt that way until she dropped the news on me. I did not ask them what they thought about it, but they both said they felt that it was unfair for her to do this without at least trying to work it out. My daughter told me that my wife has been “talking about the past and things she wanted to do before she became a mom a lot.” She also mentioned that my wife’s ex-stepmother was on the phone while my wife was texting me about separating. For some reason, it hurts more to know she was coached during those moments, although I suspected that was probably the case. It’s such an intimate emotional moment and it wasn’t even worth it for her to come up with her own thoughts while effectively ending a nearly 2 decade relationship.
The kids also didn’t know that they wouldn’t be living in the house anymore. There’s less than a month until the closing, and even less time until the movers come. I let them know they are always welcome to stay with me for any timeframe they choose. My heart still aches for them. I just want to keep us all together so badly, but their mom won’t even hear me out.
When the wife came home she showered, then sat down on the couch with us and sat on her phone while the rest of us were watching a movie. My daughter went to her room unprompted so her mother and I could talk. I got no new answers about the reasoning behind the separation. I asked what the end goal is. She said she doesn’t really know, and doesn’t want me to have false hope. We talked about what her plans are for her living arrangement, etc. She doesn’t have a place lined up. She seems to think it’s going to be easy for her to find a house she can rent that will accommodate her, our kids, and our 3 dogs. I am definitely not so sure about that. She mentioned joining the military because she was considering it before she met me. We agreed that the kids are old enough to choose where they live, and started talking about how we would divide up our belongings.
The next day, she started taking decor off the walls to start preparing for the movers. It was the first thing my daughter mentioned when she woke up. She asked why all the stuff had been taken down. I told her we have to start preparing for the move. She started to cry. I was gutted.
My wife drove me back to the airport. When we arrived, she got out of the car and came around to my side. She gave me a long, lingering hug and began to cry. When I started to walk away, she told me she loves me. It left me struggling to choke back tears as I walked through the airport and sat at the gate.
When my flight landed, I had a long text from her saying how sorry she was for the pain she’s caused, but she needs some time alone to “heal her heart.” She thanked me for being an excellent provider for our family and told me she believes I’m a good person.
The whole thing has been a rollercoaster for me. One minute I can’t see a future for myself, the next I’m angry about how she chose to do this. I’ll start to feel normal briefly, then start all over again. I’m confused about what her actual thoughts are. She says one thing, but then does something to make me think there could be some regrets. But would I want to stay together now after something like this?
Original post: After nearly 18 years of marriage, my wife told me we should separate and now won’t talk to me.
We got married and had kids in our early 20s. Throughout our marriage, I’ve had jobs that require quite a bit of travel. I was not unaware of the difficulties that come with that arrangement. It was something we talked about often. I hated the travel. My wife knew I hated the travel. I went back to school while working full time to change careers into something else that would allow me to be home every night and still give us stability.
The whole career change from the initial idea to actually landing a job took longer than I’d hoped, but I eventually made it. The problem was that the new job was halfway across the country, but at least in an area close to my family. I struggled with deciding what to do. My wife and I discussed it numerous times. I accepted the job. We continued to discuss as the time to actually transition to the new job and location approached.
We decided that the way to do things would be for me to go ahead to the new job while the kids finished the school year in their current school. It would allow me some time to feel out the new job before we moved and give me an opportunity to find a house. The whole time, I’d been telling my wife to say the word if she didn’t want to move and I’d ask for my old job back.
I started the new job a couple months ago. It’s an adjustment for sure, but seems like something I could continue to do at least for a while. We listed our old house. It went under contract in 3 days. My wife and I were sending house listings back and forth. I saw a bunch of them. We narrowed it down to a few for her to come and see in person with me. We decided on one and she seemed excited about it. We started the negotiation process.
On Thursday night, we were down to what seemed like the final counter offer that we were going to accept. We talked over FaceTime about it. I told her one last time that we could still back out if she was uncertain about it. I gave it some more thought and signed the offer.
On Friday, my wife had not signed the counter. She drove to go visit her dad for the weekend, which was something she had planned on doing, so no surprise there. She ignored me and our realtor for the entire weekend. When she got back on Sunday, she texted me saying she wasn’t going to sign. I asked what the plan was.
That’s when she said she thinks we should “talk about separating.” I asked why, but only for things like “we’re just not right for each other,” “I need to work on myself,” “we got married too young.” She won’t answer the phone or even respond to any questions about saving the marriage.
I’m gutted. Completely numb. We went from negotiating for a new house to headed for divorce and not speaking in the span of a weekend. I didn’t sleep at all Sunday night and maybe a few hours Monday night. I’ve barely eaten anything. My stomach is in knots. I don’t know what to do. I have no idea what her plans are. I’m at a brand new job. I don’t have a permanent residence here yet. The only positive is that my family is nearby. If I were to go back to the old job, I still don’t think she’d entertain the idea of saving our marriage. My house there is under contract. My kids are there. My dogs are there. Almost everything I own is there. I’ll soon have nowhere to live if I don’t do something, but I feel paralyzed.
I’ve never been so lost. It’s like my whole future is gone. This has to get better at some point, right?

2024.05.13 17:51 OnePoint11 Mistake of materialistic identification
I mean I am this body, I am living here where I am, I know perfectly myself. Everybody would agree that we are not equivalent to literal description of us. If I say that I am, for example, white forty years old man with glasses, I am not exactly compounded by seven words obviously. Also I am not every white forty years old man with glasses. When I ask myself who I am, answer is either vague or impossible. I am not this or that. Perfect description would never end, because words would be slower than change of my self. Thing is, that I don't know what I am, and there isn't some permanent, unchanging self in first place to describe it. That doesn't mean that I don't have feel that I am and that I am this knot of space-time-matter, not-fixed point in infinite ever-changing whole. It's even possible that ever-changing whole changes into still not-fixed nothing. I would pay two month wage to travel into empty aeon! But then again, it wouldn't be empty with my spacecraft. My dog has clear awareness who he is - he doesn't have simple doubt! - but yet he is still very surprised when he sees occasionally his own tail? Almost like our feel of our identity is perfect - and wrong. My identity is basically my identification with some facts and images I have stored in consciousness. I am composed in present moment by some feel(s), content of consciousness and possibility to access some unique set of data. It's "composed" in other words, and also changing. In the moment I don't have access to data, I have no identity, but some 'real me' are not these data anyway. So me, self, is only convention with not clearly defined content. These are joys of meditation: dissociation and loss of identity :)) (For mentally ill fascist who would like to ban meditation - it's joke. Real dissociation is disorder - illness, and it's not caused by meditation. But it's possible that ill people feel stigmatized by fact of their illness/disorder and they look for something to blame). I mean, this is not case where I deny ownership of self to some poor soul. This is good example of impermanence and no inherent self. More we contemplate it, more empty is our inner world.

2024.05.13 13:02 TonyTony1287 The Walking Dead Ranking Every Episode
Oh my God was this list hard to rank 😅 I took about I would say at least 15 hours of my time into this and all of that was just to rank them at a certain level without much to say. First off we have about 8 Tiers from F,D,C,B,A,S,SS, and Premium though I barely put much into their. Remember this is just an opinion so don't take too harshly if your favorite episode isn't high on my list. For some episodes I may not say much or anything since this was too long originally.
F Tier, these are my least favorite episodes and most likely I have a vendetta against them in some way that made it hard for me to like them
Around this time I also realized that it seems my numbers on the side aren't matching so I'm fixing it from here so skip 42- 38. Idk what happened but I messed up somewhere and went to fix it but couldn't find the problem.

F Tier, these are my least favorite episodes and most likely I have a vendetta against them in some way that made it hard for me to like them
- S2 Ep 8 Nebraska- I hate Lori and I think this episode expresses it, most definitely a vendetta. I didn't exactly like the stuff with Hershel and recovering though it was okay, but lori made some questionable decisions to go off on her own to look for Rick even though she should know he's fine seriously. She wrecks a car and then barely dies from a walker, mind you she is pregnant and shouldn't do these things easily my least favorite episode.
- S10 Ep 21 Diverged- I honestly forget this episode so much since it has nothing truly interesting or important to the story
- S7 Ep 6 Swear- this episode feels slow paced and dull due to oceanside being not seen well for me and I feel like Tara put on the best performance she could for it.
- S8 Ep 2 The Damned- this episode to me was just a lot of action and in the walking dead I don't want that. We see a couple of characters die (including Francine 🪦 I absolutely loved her character and hate how she died here :[ mindless) Erics death started here, but it just wasn't impactful enough.
- S3 Ep 11 I Ain't a Judas- Andrea is a boring character in the show and I hate her in this episode. The focus should've been on the prison honestly and maybe If she killed the Governor I would've understood her more.
- S10 Ep 20 Splinter- if most of the episode was real I would've loved it, but they weren't...
- S3 Ep 5 Say the Word- Andrea just isnt much good in this episode and Rick going crazy wasn't a fun idea to me.
- S8 Ep 3 Monsters- aside from the one fight with Rick I really didn't care much for it again for the fighting and having Morales return and die felt out of place.
- S2 Ep 2 Bloodletting- the group searching for Sophia was okay for a concept, but this episode was okay and went slow paced for me until the end.
- S1 Ep 3 Tell it to the frogs- first off S1 won't be all high because I'm ranking EVERY episode, but this one felt slow in pace more as well compared to the last two. Shane was a badass though.
- S11 Ep 3 Hunted- Forgettable... Not much to say.
- S5 Ep 11 The Distance- Forgot entirely this was an episode, after rewatch still don't like it except for Aaron.
- S2 Ep 9 Trigger finger- It was a bit better than Nebraska, mostly cause of the Randel scenes.
- S7 Ep 14 The Other Side- Sasha somewhat makes a noble decision.
- S8 Ep 7 Time for After- I don't like the plans they have to deviate from Rick and him going to Jadis again feels like a horrible decision on his part.
- S9 Ep 8 Evolution- The ambience is the best part, though I hated Jesus' s death as it felt like a bad sendoff.
- S2 Ep 1 What lies Ahead- I liked the RV scene with Andrea, but what follows is dull.
- S11 Ep 4- The pope is somewhat average.
- S7 Ep 12 Say Yes- The carnival was a nice scenery for TWD, but they had too many fake outs with the walker "shooting" at them and the deer fake out.
- S9 Ep 7 Stradivarius- The Search for Eugene feels tiring to follow what's happening and I ended up watching the episodes once and never again because of it.
- S2 Ep 4 Cherokee Rose- Watching the episode is fun because of the well, though I feel like it was stupid as an idea as the group should have more common sense before doing something dumb.
- S2 Ep 3 Save The Last One- Shane was horrifying, but the rest was dull.
- S8 Ep 14 Still gotta mean something- Rick felt unnecessarly cold hearted in this episode killing off the Saviors that helped him which I didn't like, though Jared got a well deserved death.
- S4 Ep 9 After -It was okay watching Carl try to scavenge while Rick was injured and I liked the scene with his shoe being lost.
- S7 Ep 5 Go Getters- the episode itself wasn't bad yet I never really enjoyed it too much aside from Maggie being a badass and the ending was pretty good.
- S4 Ep 10 Inamtes- Inmates was a pretty well rounded episodes showing off some of the group which I liked seeing Tyreese the most.
- S8 Ep 6 The King, The Widow, and Rick- the episode was pretty lackluster for me and I didn't really appeal to seeing the garbage people much in this or everyone going to attack the saviors which was a dumb move to do. Ezekiel was probably the most fun of the episode.
- S3 Ep 16 Welcome to the Tombs- the finale for season 3 has always been horrible as it barely gives tension between the Governor and Ricks group, it just felt unfitting for a finale.
- S11 Ep 8 For blood- it was a okay Mid Season finale to say the least (sorry, 1/3 season finale). I did like some of the parts in it with Maggie which is why it sits higher than others.
- S5 Ep 7 Crossed- I thoroughly enjoyed the chase scene between the three officers and Ricks group, but that was about it.
- S4 Ep 13 Alone- I liked watching the parts of the group split up, except for Maggie, Bob, and Sasha as they felt very uneventful to me. What makes this episode better had to be the part about Daryl and Beth with the ending of the introduction to Joe's group.
- S7 Ep 10 New Best Friends- a lot of these parts I forgot about in this episode when it came to the Kingdom though after rewatching it I enjoyed those parts more than the Garbage people. I just honestly think Jadis's group is uninteresting and makes for no substance.
- S10 Ep 15 The Tower- I sometimes forget about this episode and it's premise with Beta, but I think it holds up enough for a weird one and The stuff with princess was okay.
- S9 Ep 3 Warning signs- I think the episode was okay, I just didn't like Season 9 A that much...
- S11 Ep 2 Acheron Part 2- this was close to being put into C tier since I really hated some parts about it like how they left Gage to die and still had to fight off dozens of walking regardless. The group in the first two episodes seem to switch off and on from good to bad.
- S7 Ep 4 Service- for some reason people hate this episode and I can't see why except for the fact it mainly deals with Negan at Alexandria; in my opinion it was him and a couple other characters who saved season 7 and 8 for me.
- S10 Ep 3 Ghosts- I forget the episode...
- S10 Ep 7 Open Your Eyes- I thought the episode was fine as I don't hate Siddiq and all, though I liked and hated the ending as I loved the twist of Dante and hated that Siddiq had to die so early on.
- S6 Ep 7 Heads Up- I didn't like the twist of Glenn and all, but I liked the suspicion with Carol and Morgan as well as the Ending being dramatic.
- S8 Ep 11 Dead or Alive- it's not good to know when you remember an episode due to bad things. Daryl has been making more off decisions for the character and Tara seems to be completely Reckless now making me hate her moving forward.
- S4 Ep 4 Indifference- The Scenes with Carol and Rick we're amusing with crude Humour as well as some more tense scenes in my opinion and I hated/liked when Rick told Carol she couldn't come back.
- S3 Ep 6 Hounded- honestly I would've rather put this episode a little bit higher due to Merle (probably my favorite charcater which contributes to a lot of episodes being higher) being a badass while fighting Michonne and pulling out puns as well. The reason it doesn't get higher is still due to Rick and the phone situation being uneventful.
- S11 Ep 9 No Other Way- Alden dies in this episode which I should've seen coming that sucks. The ending feels misleading a bit though everything else in the middle is pretty great.
- S11 Ep 5 Out of the Ashes- literally the only reason I put this here was due to Lance so deal with it!
- S4 Ep 11 Claimed- Rick had a pretty solid pair of scenes with the Claimers and I liked watching Glenn and Tara (Surprisingly).
- S10 Ep 13 What We Become- I thought the flashbacks/hallucinations we're pretty good, but aside from that this episode was just mediocre.
- S9 Ep 4 The Obliged- I liked watching Daryl and Rick fight each other over different views on how everything should be and the ending I thought was pretty suspenseful as well as the saviors and oceanside.
- S11 Ep 15 Trust- Lance feels exactly like the Governor in some of these episodes which is what I like about him, and from here I start to enjoy Princess maybe because Mercer is around more xd.
- S10 Ep 17 Home Sweet Home- I thought Maggie was a good enough concept for an episode with the reapers, though it didn't hit that hard watching again. It still Is most definitely better than the other 3 episodes of S10 part C but enough for A Tier.
- S1 Ep 5 Wildfire- For the episodes Jim was in I liked him and learning his backstory as well so this was a pretty fun episode.
- S4 Ep 15 Us- the stuff with Abraham and their group was pretty wholesome to me and I liked Joe for the time being in here seeing how he is pretty fair to be honest giving things where they are due and trust to Daryl.
- S6 Ep 11 Knots Untie- I somewhat feel like the episode drags due to there being too much at hilltop, but it is a new community so I can't truly argue. I remember enjoyably when Rick stopped the assassination attempt.
- S8 Ep 9 Honor- the beginning with Carl I thought was good to showcase the events that unfolded before the decimation and Carl's death hit hard.
- S5 Ep 4 Slabtown- I personally don't mind the hospital arc too much, yet it won't get all of it's episodes too high of course. I liked watching Noah and Beth converse and I thought this was a new era for the walking dead.
- 10 Ep 1 Lines we Cross- the part with the Satellite was amusing to watch as it was a big change to see and I like that about the walking dead on occasions.
- S9 Ep 6 Who are you now?- I liked learning of Luke's Group (you heard me, Luke's Group) and what they have been like learning of some of their past.
- S10 Ep 8 The World Before- I liked mostly just watching two scenes, the beginning with Dante and Gabriel and Dante. I loved the fact no one even considered a Whisperer living amongst them and how he did some much devious stuff was mind boggling and amazing to watch. When Gabriel talks about forgiveness to Dante and kills him shows me how Gabriel has changed the past seasons.
- S7 Ep 9 Rock in the Road- Rick gives off a good speech to Ezekiel and I liked seeing him and Morgan reunite again. The stuff with Gabriel wasn't too bad either.
- S3 Ep 9 The Suicide King- the Governor finally seems to be starting to let things of him slip which I love to see. I also enjoyed watching Merle with Daryl as well too.
- S11 Ep 11 Rouge element- I thought that the twist of Steph was pretty good and I don't mind the episode being a bit long and tedious for it's reveal.
- S11 Ep 23 Family- I loved the fact Lydia got bit just because it shows us that people can still get bit and survive. It shows to me that in the finale no one could be truly safe even though Luke gets bit and still dies.
- S11 Ep 17 Lockdown- Saving Sebastian was okay ig.
- S8 Ep 10 The Lost and The Plunderers- Simon's character I think was made perfectly as he is a hotheaded person who is all about power and showing that off. Killing most of the Garbage people was terrifying to watch and showed how Negan could be more merciful than others.
- S1 Ep 1 Days Gone Bye- I think for the pilot it did it's job well and showed off enough of what the show could be. Of course this doesn't mean it was all good but as pilots go it was pretty solid.
- S11 Ep 1 Acheron Part 1- The only reason I put it this high was for the interrogation scenes especially when it came down to Ezekiel. Him and Mercer are honestly a great pair and I love his ending to the show as it's fitting.
- S5 Ep 10 Them- after losing most of the group it seems like a fitting episode of despair and plays it perfectly.
- S5 Ep 12 Remember- the first shown scenes of Alexandria was pretty good and I liked the interviews scene too. We also saw a lot of new character introductions.
- S11 Ep 6 On The Inside- The ferals was a nice touch of horror that I never knew I could need. Making the people with the ferals Virgil and Connie made the most perfect sense as well.
- S6 Ep 13 Not Tomorrow Yet- this episode shows off how our group is seeming to be the bad guys starting to kill people in their sleep. I like how Glenn and Heath have their first kills and show how they are changing.
- S7 Ep 1 The day will come when you won't be- I like the title as it references Doctor Jenner, but for the episode I liked Negan and that's mostly it. Seeing two people die was horrible to me, but necessary and since I don't rank episodes for being bad due to deaths I can still rank them high.
- S6 Ep 16 Last Day on Earth- Simon has a good introduction and I like them trying to get from point A to B, but what stands out to me most is probably Abraham and Eugene with his speech about him
- S7 Ep 15 Something they need- Sasha was probably the highlight of the episode for me and I liked them and Negan's interactions. It Is a good effort to show that they aren't all monsters and I like seeing Eugene as well.
- S3 Ep 7 When the Dead come knocking- Glenn and his interrogation with Merle was amazing and I liked seeing Glenn's true will shine.
- S8 Ep 12 The Key- I don't like this episode much honestly if it wasn't for Negan and Ricks Speech as well as Simon and his deviousness.
- S8 Ep 1 Mercy- the beginning I had to move up due to some good portions of it like Rick and Negan. I also liked the ending a lot even though I watched the trailer a lot and knew of Gabriel and Negan's interactions.
- S9 Ep 1 a New Beginning- wow two series beginnings next to each other... Yeah it's weird but they weren't exactly S Tier Material. The beginning with them trying to get a horse accessory was great tension to watch and I already love Ricks Beard.
- S10 Ep 18 Find me- okay so maybe I exaggerated My feeling towards Season 10 C a bit since I like some of the episodes a bit and others worse. The reason I put this here is mostly good plot lines and that was it.
- S3 Ep 3 Walk With Me- Merle brings joy to me seeing him again and I love him from here on out. I like how the Governor seems to be innocent enough until the big reveal with the militia which is amazingly put.
- S10 Ep 9 Squeeze- I hate Squeeze... There i said it. The cave sucks honestly and Id rather not watch it again because of that, but Negan is the only saving grace for this episode and if it wasn't for him I would never watch this episode again.
- S8 Ep 13 Do Not Send Us Astray- Simon attacking the Hilltop was the most great action of this season that I never minded and it felt terrifying after Tobin's fate was sealed.
- S3 Ep 12 Clear- I had to move it from S Tier, but nevertheless a great episode. Morgan's return was done perfectly and I felt like his character did a full 180 after this. Michonne and Carl's side story was also good.
- S2 Ep 12 Better Anglels- Shane and Ricks final confrontation was amazingly executed and loved the difference from the Comics with Rick killing shane and Carl shooting his reanimated self; Shane and Randel was also good too.
- S4 Ep 12 Still- Daryl and Beth make sense to pair together and I like seeing how we get a bit more back story to his character. They feel like the most perfect example to put for a mismatched pair.
- S6 Ep Thank You- The journey with Glenn's group trying to get back was amusing to see even though the dumpster ending wasnt really the best, still horrible to see.
- S10 Ep 4 Silence the Whisperers- Negan and Lydia have a good bond and I like how Negan defends her even though I hate how no one believes Lydia that Negan protected her.
- S8 Ep 4 Some Guy- I still love watching Ezekiel and the Kingdom so I enjoy this episode and how he feels defeated the whole time. Jerry is the best bodyguard in my opinion as well as it is shown and Shivas death is heartbreaking.
- S5 Ep 8 Coda- The reason I put this soo high was due to Rick and Bob. I did like the ending a bit even though I feel like Beth's death could've been avoided.
- S3 Ep 14 Prey- originally this episode was C Tier for me, but I re-watched it and put it this high due to the Governor being a literal psycho and I love this side of him.
- S11 Ep 20 What's been Lost- Lance felt underutilized as soon as he died, I really wished they could've made a difference with his exit on the show.
- S8 Ep 8 How it's gotta be- Forgot about Natanias death.
- S11 Ep 7 Promises Broken- Negan and Maggie had a good talk together about before.
- S10 Ep 6 Bonds- Okay.. XD.
- S6 Ep 10 The Next world- I thought the stuff with Rick, Daryl, and Jesus was goofy, but great.
- S11 Ep 19 Varient- I do like the idea of evolving walkers though I feel like it was a bit late in the show.
- S3 Ep 13 Arrow on the Doorstep- the meeting was just terrific to watch as the Governor is so sinister inside it with Milton and Hershel having a good talk as well with Martinez and Daryl having a good show off time. Merle and Glenn have some good times too.
- S9 Ep 2 The Bridge- The log scene was amazing and Aaron had a good scene with the amputation.
- S7 Ep 7 Sing me a song- Negan and Carl were fun to watch as well as some more insight on the sanctuary as Daryl breaks free. Negan and Carl also Bond.
- S10 Ep 10 Stalker- Daryl VS Alpha!!!
- S11 Ep 16 Acts of God- Lance is very horrifying as to what his next move is and Leah's stuff was good.
- S3 Ep 8 Made to suffer- it was a great Mid season finale as I enjoyed the fight with the Governor and Rick as well as the ending with Merle and Daryl.
- S2 Ep 6 Secrets- Glenn has to deal with hiding multiple people's secrets and I feel like the comedy is pure gold here.
- S1 Ep 2 Guts- The rooftops scenes were great as well as the parts where they wear guys to avoid the walkers, it always felt like a sense of panic in this episode.
- S9 Ep 9 Adaptation- the introduction to Alpha was simple enough and I feel like it's a good episode.
- S11 Ep 10 New Haunts
- S11 Ep 12 The Lucky Ones- Carol finally feels a little bit like she's back to her old self in this community with Lance and their deals.
- S4 Ep 1 30 days without and Accident- probably my second favorite of the beginning episodes as it demonstrates exactly how the group has got along since the recent events. Has a good story with the shopping market and the roof caving in was awesome.
- S3 Ep 10 Home- this episode shows how Merle and Daryl are far apart which I can still keep watching Merle and be entertained as well as the fight scene at the end with the Governor being cocky as can be.
- S9 Ep 16 The Storm- snow is a new but simple thing that I like along with Negan Earning trust with Michonne.
- S10 Ep 2 We are the End of the World- Gamma saving Alpha is one of my favorite scenes of how it shows Alphas power towards the group and influence on it's people.
- S6 Ep 8 Start to Finish- The walls coming down had an interesting story as well as many like the Wolf getting loose and Diana having a badass/amazing exit.
- S9 Ep 11 Bounty- The Movie Theatre scene was pretty good as well as Alpha with and Lydia.
- S5 Ep 2 Strangers- The uneasy feeling of Gabriel is pretty good to show the groups trust and I like how the ending is played out with the reveals.
- S11 Ep 13 Warlords- The Complex is a pretty good place to see and I like seeing the evolution of Negan and Aaron.
- S9 Ep 15 The Calm Before- The highlight is the end with the pikes though it made sense for the lesser characters. I hated seeing Henry and Enid die (Not with Tara).
- S10 Ep 11 Morning Star- The start of the battle is ingenius with the tree sap fire scene and it makes for a suspenseful ending to the episode to come.
- S9 Ep 5 What come After- The episode is meant to be a sendoff for Rick so I'll rank it about everything else instead. I did enjoy some of the sequences with Hershel and I loved seeing Shane again. He really puts perspective on some episodes like Season 5 which makes me enjoy watching those episodes more as well as Shane. Ricks exit was also done is a pretty good way.
- S7 Ep 13 Bury me Here- I liked watching Morgan slowing go back into insanity which I believe is due to PTSD of some sort. The episode feels really well done and I like the ending to it with Richard Dying and Carol being told everything.
- S9 Ep 12 Guardians- Alpha is great to watch in this episode and the way she kills the two whispering who challenge them is great!
- S8 Ep 5 The Big scary U- the main focus is Negan and Gabriel which is an amazing talk between then two before settling their differences. I also like the unease at the sanctuary through betrayal.
- S11 Ep 14 The Rotten core- the whole episode is one of If not my personal favorite to watch for the complex alone being a nice setting. I enjoy every bit of this episode as well as the side deal with Sebastian and how Mercer is revealed to be a pretty nice guy.
- S5 Ep 15 Try- The whole episode feels like a decent into madness for Rick seeing everyone against him. I like how he goes into protective cop mode and try to defend the ones he lives as well as his speech at the end.
- S11 Ep 18 A New Deal- The whole episode is average, but the ending just feels amazing to rewatch.
- S2 Ep 11 Judge, Jury, Executioner- I personally like Dale a lot so I love this episode. It really shows how the group is starting to turn as they believe to do what is best for the group and not morals. Dales death is also very heartfelt to watch and showed off the walkers dangerousness.
- S10 Ep 14 Look At The Flowers- Negan and Daryl make a good pair to watch though I enjoyed watching Beta and him struggling to get back on track after Alphas death and I love him so much more for this episode.
- S5 Ep 5 Self Help- Daryl and Carol at the moments have some good episodes together so it's not surprise I'd love this episode. With Noah in the episode as well it feels like a amazing show of how the characters (Carol and Daryl) have changed morally.
- S6 Ep 13 The Same Boat- Carol has been shown to be ruthless, but this episode shows her true colors as how she doesn't want this to be her life anymore.
- S5 Ep 13 Forget- the episode itself has many great minisodes it felt like which was fantastic.
- S8 Ep 16 Wraith- The ending to season 8 was pretty eventful for the battles begin as Eugene saved everyone's asses from a cool trick with the bullets. I am happy that Rick decided to save Negan and I love the episode except for the ending being off-putting with Maggie.
- S6 Ep 9 No way Out- The Wolf has a pretty interesting end that I enjoyed to see and aside from the the entire eoisode is the best part. You never feel that sense of boring to it as the action is nonstop great.
- S5 Ep 5 Now- I liked small bits and pieces of this episode mostly revolving around Diana and her role starting to change. If she survived I don't doubt I would've loved to see her go through more of an arc.
- S7 Ep 11 Hostiles and Calamities- I can see the hate for this episode, though I love it myself. Eugene in my opinion is at his best here and I love watching him here with Negan and their interactions. It was also great how Dwight had framed the doctor.
- S5 Ep 6 Consumed- Abraham was one of my favorite characters not just for jokes but for this episode. His backstory is heartbreaking to learn about and relatable. When he falls down after beating Eugene in defeat I can feel his pain with him.
- S9 Ep 13 Chokepoint- Daryl VS Beta!!!
Around this time I also realized that it seems my numbers on the side aren't matching so I'm fixing it from here so skip 42- 38. Idk what happened but I messed up somewhere and went to fix it but couldn't find the problem.
- S2 Ep 13 Besides the Dying Fire- The walkers attacking the farm was a great scene just as much as the Democracy speech was from Rick, though Lori is horrible to Rick in this episode. Also Rick tells the group "we're all infected"
- S4 Ep 2 Infected- I love the scene where Patrick reanimates and the morning fight they have in the prison. So much stuff happens at once. The ending was Great with Tyreese and. The pig scene was sad to watch.
- S6 Ep 6 Always Accountable- One time when I like Sasha is this episode with Abraham. Where to begin; The Rocket launcher scene was great, Abraham is great with quips, Daryl with Dwight is a good scene and I love the ending as well.
- S6 Ep 14 Twice as Far- The Denise speech wasnt too bad and the death was great. I enjoyed Abraham and Eugene; I think my favorite scenes was with Abraham and Eugene with another one of his speechs towards him which was funny and heartfelt.
- S4 Ep 16 A- The best part is when Joe's group comes along and how Rick bites out his throat signifying that he and Shane are now alike. I also like when Rick and Daryl talk as well as Rick figuring out this olace kidnaps people.
- S2 Ep 7 Pretty Much dead Already- Shane is what I love about this episode, he and Dale had a really funny encounter and I feel like Shane makes me laugh and be serious at the same time with each scenes. I also like how Rick is more accepting towards Hershel.
- S10 Ep 16 A Certain Doom- Beta was good in this episode and had some great parts, but the fights wee great especially the scene with the Music. Betas death felt odd, but that doesn't lower the episode.
- S4 Ep 14 The Grove- I mean do I really have to explain? Carol is a savage here and I love when they finally talk about Karen and Davids death here. Nothing in this episode is a low note.
- S2 Ep 5 Chupacabra- I love everything about Daryl's scenes in this that show how he is a badass and capable of holding his own. Also love his Hallucinations.
- S11 Ep 24 Rest In Peace- certainly wasn't the best finale, but I felt like it did well enough for the episode. It tied up most loose ends for the show given its runtime and I feel like it is fitting enough.
- S2 Ep 10 18 Miles Out- my favorite of Season 2 has Shane and Rick have the best battle I have seen even more than The Governor and Rick or Negan and Rick. This battle utilizes both of their strengths and weaknesses with some things that have never been done in the show much more like using your blood to attract walkers to other places. It was an amazing episode all in all.
- S1 Ep 6 TS-19- idk what it is but I love watching this episode over and over again and I love it the more I watch it. It is probably because I like Doctor Jenner a bit more in each watching of his tragic backstory with his wife.
- S9 Ep 14 Scars- The flahsback was an amazing one that told us something vital to the story about how they don't trust people coming in anymore. What Daryl and especially Michonne went through is tragic.
- S5 Ep 3 Four Walls a roof- this episode is perfect for a number of reasons like Bob and his antics or Savage Rick, this was a turning point for the walking dead and this is where Rick gets some of his roots.
- S1 Ep 4 Vatos- even though I love TS-19 I love Vatos more. This is unique to some episodes where you see a group just like Ricks that is trying to survive and this is where we realize the world is bigger than we thought still.
- S7 Ep 16 The first day of the rest of your Life- The battle was amazing and I feel like this was the best it was going to get for the coming seasons, but season 9 and 10 surprised me.
- S10 Ep 5 What it always Is- Negan with the Kid is the highlight I think, I could've honestly seen this going farther, if it wasn't for the former savior. I feel like this was fitting for an entire episode of, but we diverged a bit.
- S4 Ep 3 Isolation- Hershel and Tyreese are the highlights for me with Tyreese going berserk and Hershel being a kind soul. This is a staple episode for why Season 4 is amazing and why Hershel is what made season 4 great.
- S6 Ep 4 Here's not Here- I love learning about Eastman and Morgan in this one off. I love how it is somewhat told in the first person narrative to the Wolf and how Morgan changed back to who he was. Eastman shows how he and Morgan are pretty similar and why he should be like him.
- S5 Ep 14 Spend- aside from Francine being here to be used as eye candy for me I loved how some of Alexandria like and dislike rick's group here. I do hate Noah dying as I feel like he could've been so much more.
- S10 19 One More- I love havng the episode based on Aaron and Gabriel as they have came a long way since their beginnings. When they have few an encounter with Mays I felt like this was a testimony to who they are as people. We see how they care for each other and how Mays fails to make a point of who they are until Gabriel Kills him showing he has gone farther away from the light.
- S7 Ep 3 Cell- Daryl is locked up and he is now being treated like shit. This episode feels great cause of how it feels like he is trying to break Daryl. Dwight also has a great mission on how he mercy kills a savior and shows he isn't as bad as you may think.
- S6 Ep 1 First time again- I do enjoy the setting of the episode how we see the diverge in Alexandria and who listens or hears Rick out. The episode is a great example for staring episodes... But not the best at it.
- S5 Ep 9 What Happened and what's going On- I loved Tyreese's character so to see him die was horrible for me. His episodes I feel like was a good send off since it is a test to who he is as a person who is confounded about the world around him.
- S3 Ep 4 Killer Within- this episode was played perfectly and I feel like is a good sendoff for other characters as well like how I hate Lori. She is made just a bit better from her sacrifice and thought T-Dog went out in a good way as well. The prisoners also had a good show for their trust.
- S4 Ep 5 Interment- this is where Hershel's best episode is as he is the best Samaritan Alive in the apocalypse. At the end where Rick and Carl fend off the walkers inside the gates in a great bond and I love the whole episode.
- S6 Ep 3 JSS- it is well rounded and has good action as well as a lot of tension and suspense with Carol showing off her capabilities and Morgan with his philosophy.
- S8 Ep 15 Worth- Worth has what I want in an episode; good characters and story/plot. Eugene's parts are made more important seeing how he needed to stay at the sanctuary to save Alexandria and the other communities. I loved even more Dwight's part where I have without doubt the most suspense with him and Negan. Simon also had the most best arc death as it felt complete.
- S5 Ep 16 Conquer- the episode has a lot of action and the ending was the pivet. I love the speech he has and how Diana let's Rick be in charge now was a sort of cliffhanging ending that signify's perfection.
- S5 Ep 1 No sanctuary- both Season 5's beginning and finale are amazing and the way Rick and his group take down Terminus in one episode is amazing as they fight there way out and the scene with Judith was great. Morgan was just a sprinkle of wholesomeness to see.
- S10 Ep 12 Walk With Us- The Episode had just enough action, good deaths and character interactions to make it here. First of the battle at hilltop was amazing. The second best thing was Earl and I feel very sad every time I watch this episode at his part. Then the best thing is the end with Alpha and Negan.
- S3 Ep 1 Seed- The best beginning to a season it shows how the group has changed since Rick and the prison is a great example. The tombs are a great scenery and the ending was perfect for a cliffhanger as well as Conquer.
- S3 Ep 2 Sick- the prisoner episode was pretty good to watch as a group of prisoners try to take on walkers. While some are good others would rather be assertive. Rick has definitely changed since season 2 and the group is played great here and much more human like.
- S7 Ep 2 Well- what helps this episode is the last episode before it having a dark tone. This instead has a more uplifting one with the king and with Carol and Morgan being a great pair. The Kingdom seems to be a good community and seeing how Carol tries to smooth talk the king and how he tells whays her bullshit is an amazing scene.
- S10 Ep 22 Heres Negan- We realize he was a kinda lousy husband that wasn't really too good to becoming a really supportive husband who cares deeply for his wife Lucille. The story before showed a lot of Negan and how he is and I love Lucille as a character from this episode trying to do whats best for Negan.
- S4 Ep 8 Too Far gone- Honestly this IS the best episode, but I am bias so I had to put my own personal favorite above it not to say this isn't right behind it easily. Too far gone is what feels like a season finale but isn't. The Governors first encounter should've been this and I'm glad we got to see it unfold great. Rick has a great speech in it about not being too far gone yet and the Governor killing Hershel to start the best battle of the series. The Governors death feels fitting and the ending was sad and amazing.
- Season 3 Episode 15 This Sorrowful Life- Now what makes this episode so great to me? Well I'm totally biased towards the actor and the character in the show Merle Dixon. I could watch Merle all day which is what they episode feels like with the perfect duo of Michonne and Merle on their way to the governor. It has some of the most perfect comedy in the episode as well as having the best sacrifice redemption arc and ending. This episode made me laugh, smile, cry and more. There will never be a time when I ever change my opinion about this episode in existence.
2024.05.12 23:28 DogGirlBitch Great sexy fun news

2024.05.12 19:16 Euphoric_Finding573 AITAH For still going to see my soon to be mother-in law even though my biological mother changed plans for mother's day?
I (20F) was under the assumption that my mother wanted to go to her favorite diner for breakfast, she stated to me last night that's where she wanted to go today and I told my dad and he said okay. Today when I woke up me and her got into an argument about something very dumb and hypocritical on her end, and my older brother (24M) who I don't really get along very well with decided to put his two sense in where it wasn't needed and things got more heated. Fast forward about fifteen or twenty minutes everything relaxed (except my brother who kept giving me backhanded remarks and attitude every chance he got) she opened her gift and she loved it. Then my brother started cooking breakfast and I asked why he was cooking when we were supposed to go out for breakfast. Turns out while I was sleeping they decided we weren't going to do breakfast anymore cause recently my dog had puppies, and they "didn't want to leave the puppies alone for too long". (You'll learn soon why I quoted that sarcastically lol) Fast forward another maybe 30 minutes are so I was upstairs weighing the puppies when my mom came out and said something that annoyed me again, and then proceeded to be like "let's not argue about it not today" then why fucking bring it up today. Besides the point, I then went into my room to start working on some homework that's due tonight because my family isn't doing anything right now, breakfast hasn't even been finished while i'm typing this. She comes in to my room and goes "We're going to go out to dinner later tonight, this italian place I want to eat at" and I said "Well what time cause I was planning to go to My Fiancé's name's house to spend some time with his mom too". She got all bent out of shape and proceeded to then say if she was more important to me than my own mother than for me to just go and slammed my door and walked away causing a scene downstairs to my dad and brother. I then proceeded to just go back to doing my homework when she messaged me all bent out of shape saying she wanted to know how many times his mother washed my clothes, cooked me meals like she does and that she doesn't care what I do but not to ask her for shit anymore. This set me off and I ended up saying exactly how I felt telling her she was being very selfish and unfair because I set time aside to spend most of the day with her but she chose to cancel the plans we had planned to make different ones that made no sense. Dinner would be longer than a breakfast which means the puppies are being left alone regardless and for an even longer amount of time than originally planned. I also stated that although my future mother in law didn't raise me, and she hasn't "cooked me meals" (My mother in law doesn't cook at all her husband does all the cooking) she has taken me under her wing the past years i've been with her son and even before when I was friends with her son, that she has given me a place to wash clothes when our washer was broken, she's bought me food and fed me without ever asking for money out my pocket or asking me for anything in return, has purchased me clothes and beautiful gifts that she never had to. Has helped me with my homework cause i am terrible at math, And has CHOSEN to love me. Just because I am with her son doesn't mean she needs to love or like me but she has chosen to. I've also been out of a job for the past month or so and was able to scrape some money together to get my mom a gift but I couldn't afford a gift for his mother so I did state that the least I could do for his mother was come over and enjoy a meal to celebrate her too. I told my mom it was very unfair and selfish for her to try and make me feel bad for trying to celebrate both mothers I know in my life when it is MOTHER's day, a day TO celebrate MOTHERS. I already consider my mother in law to be my mother in law even though me and her son haven't officially tied the knot yet, and this made my mom very angry where she stated "she isn't your fucking mother until you officially get married" Regardless I genuinely love my mother in law and wish to spend some time with her today. I originally wasn't going to go over until a lot later in the day but my mother told me to leave and go spend the day because she's being unreasonable right now. She also refused to read my response to her in messages acting like a child stating "blah blah blah just stop texting me i'm not reading your messages". For background context since i've been out of a job i've been home daily with my mom, and for the past two months or so I haven't been very involved at my in-laws. Me and my Fiancé have been spending all of our time at my parents house, eating and laughing and joking with them. Helping out with the puppies and etc. My Fiancé's parents adore me and are always very sweet and good to me and I have a great bond and relationship with them. I'm lost for words on how this day has so quickly gone to shit and I honestly just need to know if I'm crazy or in the wrong. So AITAH? Quick Update i forgot to mention: Every year I've gone at the end of the day to spend a little bit of time with my mother in law and it's never been an issue cause I always prioritized my mother first. I do everything to keep my mom happy. I plan her entire mother's day, birthdays, make sure she gets everything she wants for xmas, I even plan her dates and valentine's days with my dad to make sure she gets the world.

2024.05.12 13:12 Rude-Candy6954 Dog in a divorce, advice? (F27) and (M27)
How would you proceed with this? Let me recap the situation.
My ex-husband (M27) and me (F27) took a dog 5 years ago. We were together for 9 years. We have been divorced for 2 years now, and have been having a ”shared custody” of the dog, of cource not official as where we live the dog is considered as an ”asset” by law.
The thing is we fell into this system to keep the piece somehow, our divorce was horrible and he has stalked and threatened me after. But somehow I’ve tried to calm things down and in some way it has worked, but im still very anxious when I have to see him to bring/get the dog. Even my therapist has suggested to decide on the dog and in whose house she will live, but im anxious for the drama this will bring when/if I start to fight for the dog properly.
The thing is that I’ve noticed the dog stresses the changing living situation as well, she is the dearest thing to me and I hate that the situation causes her stress. I’ve talked to my ex multiple times in good spirit that I think it’s time for the dog to have one main home, and of cource still visit the other but no more monthly changes. I suggested she would be living with me, as i’m the registered owner, have been having more responsibilities over the dog throughout the years and I feel like I’ve been looking after the dog better after the divorce (he sometimes forgets to brush her, bringing her bag with knots in her hair and telling me he only goes out with her twise a day cause it’s easier etc.) When I’m doing at least 3 walks a day, going to dog parks etc weekly, brushing her weekly and getting all the things she needs.
When I have discussed about the topic he just answered that he disagrees and he is not giving up the dog. Even tough he agreed the situation is stressful to her. His solution would be to have the dog half a year each, which I completely disagree with and don’t think that would help her at all. And of course I would miss her sooo much, already being a month away from her honestly brakes my heart.
BUT the thing is that we bought the dog in half, so in the ”purchaise receipt” -paper we are both the owners of the dog, even though Im the only one in the dog’s registration. So, im not sure just by based on that I can fight him. Or could there be a possibility for me to lose the dog if I take legal action. I think the wisest decision would be to still sit down and talk, trying to get through to him why the dog would be better off with me and still seeing him from time to time. But i don’t know if he is receptive to that or still has resentment/anger or whatever emotional buildup towards me.
Idk, what I’m looking for, maybe advice or support? Has anyone been in a similar situation? 💔

My ex-husband (M27) and me (F27) took a dog 5 years ago. We were together for 9 years. We have been divorced for 2 years now, and have been having a ”shared custody” of the dog, of cource not official as where we live the dog is considered as an ”asset” by law.
The thing is we fell into this system to keep the piece somehow, our divorce was horrible and he has stalked and threatened me after. But somehow I’ve tried to calm things down and in some way it has worked, but im still very anxious when I have to see him to bring/get the dog. Even my therapist has suggested to decide on the dog and in whose house she will live, but im anxious for the drama this will bring when/if I start to fight for the dog properly.
The thing is that I’ve noticed the dog stresses the changing living situation as well, she is the dearest thing to me and I hate that the situation causes her stress. I’ve talked to my ex multiple times in good spirit that I think it’s time for the dog to have one main home, and of cource still visit the other but no more monthly changes. I suggested she would be living with me, as i’m the registered owner, have been having more responsibilities over the dog throughout the years and I feel like I’ve been looking after the dog better after the divorce (he sometimes forgets to brush her, bringing her bag with knots in her hair and telling me he only goes out with her twise a day cause it’s easier etc.) When I’m doing at least 3 walks a day, going to dog parks etc weekly, brushing her weekly and getting all the things she needs.
When I have discussed about the topic he just answered that he disagrees and he is not giving up the dog. Even tough he agreed the situation is stressful to her. His solution would be to have the dog half a year each, which I completely disagree with and don’t think that would help her at all.

2024.05.12 12:59 PokiBash Japanese films with notable guns worth documenting? Asking for a wiki
Hi, JapaneseMovies! I'm a writer for the Internet Movie Firearms Database, a wiki dedicated to identifying and cataloging guns used in popular media. While there are already a lot of Asian productions documented on the site, the wiki is mostly made up of Western productions, and I'm currently working on a project to make high-quality pages for more modern Asian productions. I'd like to ask if there are any Japanese films with interesting/a wide distribution of guns that aren't already listed on the site. For reference, here's the list of current Japanese media that's already documented on the wiki. I'm looking forward to your recommendations! I've discovered a LOT of great movies through my search for Japanese films.
Here's the list of Japanese film pages I've made - I Am A Hero (2015) Baby Assassins (2021)) (I LOVE this movie so much, cant wait for the third) Nowhere Girl (2015)

A Janitor (2021)

Bad City (2022)
Hydra (2019)

One-Percent WarrioOne Percenter (2023)
The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill (2021)
Baby Assassins: Nice Days (2024) (WIP until the movie comes out and I get a copy of it)
Here's a list of films I plan to make pages for - A Beast in Love (2020) The Blood of Wolves (2018) Bushido Man (2013) City Hunter (2024) Green Bullet (2022) Hana-bi/Fireworks (1997) Hangman's Knot (2017) Hell Dogs (2022) Legendary Hit-man, Kunioka (2021) Re:Born (2016) Sonatine (1993) The Violence Action (2022)

Example:
Beckett Colins - 13 - unclaimed (HERMES’ SON) - He did have a mom, and they were very close, as they were poor. - Beckett is a short, slim boy with knotted dark brown hair (that’s been dyed a lighter brown, but not fully so it’s kinda spotty) - He’s pretty shaky, he has major trust issues, and he always looks like he’s on the verge of crying. He’s really (mentally) strong though. He doesn’t cry unless other people do. Or he’s hurt. He’s tough even when he’s hurt though. He’s a bit afraid to speak up or ask for help sometimes, since he’s scared someone will tell him off for it. - Luke and Chris are like his adopted dads or something. No but seriously, an older (probably girl to remind him of his mom) in the Hermes cabin, unclaimed or claimed Hermes child, would be his mothefather figure to cope with being unclaimed. - N/A - N/A - he and his mom were very close, living in an overdue with rent apartment in a rundown neighborhood in NYC, but she died of heart failure when he was 8, and left Beckett to fend for himself on the streets of New York City. Thankfully he got food and things from people who felt bad, he had the cute factor of a child. Then he found CHB :] - His mother was heavily German, and could only speak German. He has a thick German accent especially when he speaks the language (it was his first language, as he learned it before English, which he’s still pretty bad at) - Rahh idk - Homeless. Idk streetwear? - He speaks German :) - uhhhhshajajkwkwksmzmk probably like nothing bc he’s pretty useless at everything tbh. - he wishes he could know him. - to be claimed. - Ben Platt (idk lol I was listening to DEH) - Aaauushhshsjjak idk help the poor boy - ISFP - EXAMPLE_NPC
🌊🏕️🔱🌊🏕️🔱🌊🏕️🔱🌊🏕️🔱🌊🏕️🔱🌊🏕️🔱🌊🏕️🔱🌊🏕️🔱🌊🏕️🔱🌊
Example with Beckett —
.:You watch from across the amphitheater, at a frail, small looking boy, sitting with a few older Hermes boys, chatting and occasionally laughing. The Apollo cabin was leading a song at the moment, by the campfire, as the Ares cabin shot looks at the Athena cabin. All of which was relatively normal. The boy you were staring at caught your gaze. He gave a quick smile and a shy wave, before glancing back to the older boys and laughing a bit. (Not at you,) :.
Examples for each of my oc’s —
ARLO-
— As you tread through the forest you hear a stick snap in the distance, which earns a small squeak from the perpetrator. He’s a seemingly suntanned boy with dirt patches on his arms and face as he turns your direction. His brown eyes gleam amber in the sunlight. Definitely a son of Apollo, you thought as he froze, pondering if he should approach you. A wide grin broke out onto his face. — ` Heeeeyyyy..! What’re you doin’ out here? ` — He tilted his head. He looked around, awkwardly. “Ignore the uh.. mud..” he gave an awkward laugh as he wiped the dry mud and dirt from his arms and cheeks, waiting for your response.—
RUTHIE-
— You move into the back corner of the Forge, carefully trying to dodge sparks from metal, bracing your ears for the loud clangs and excruciating heat from the fires. You settle yourself into a comfortable standing position as you begin to heat up your sword with a blowtorch, grabbing goggles and placing them on your head. You feel a pair of eyes burning into your side, as you turn your gaze to your left and spot a short-haired girl staring at you with a flat expression. She has goggles pushed upwards on top of her head and gloves on as she looked down at your sword, not bothering to make eye contact. —` You’re doing it wrong. ` — She comments dryly. —
RAIYNA-
— you walk up to the big house, therefore Mr D, tiredly. Your cabin mates had been bickering all night and you were about to report it, but instead of the man in a floral Hawaiian shirt as always, it was a younger girl, shuffling a deck of cards with a bored expression on her face. She glanced over at you and cracked a small smile. — ` Thank gods someone’s here to talk to me. I was getting bored out of my mind. ` —She tilted her head at you, you opened your mouth to speak but she cut you off. — ` If you need my dad, he’s uh,, somewhere, I don’t exactly know where, ‘cause all I heard was ‘in charge’ and I stopped listening, ` — It was almost as if she read your mind. — ` I’m Raina, you? ` — The black-haired girl prompted, setting the cards down. —

15- APHRODITE- the Conners (humans) - A young looking female with brown eyes and light brown hair, she has pale skin and lots of lashes. Her eyes brows are thin and fluffy and is thin. She has freckles on her face and has a height of 5’5 - She is kind,honest (a little too honest,) but can keep secrets, funny, and brave. - (to be made) -(anything dogfish does) - None 🤩 - Nothing dark, just a happy life until her momma made her leave for camp.- German American (like me), with a bit of a German accent. - Val, valentines, tree. - COQUETTE AND DOWNTOWN GIRL 🎀🖤 -she can speak German..- Canoes & sleep.- SHE LOVES HER GODLY MOMMY ❤️- to make a bouquet by the end of camp with mixed flowers, and to get her phone back. - none yet.. - She likes bows and flowers..-(shown in photo)- Lola 🎀
Raiyna Speals -
14 - Cabin 12/Dionysus - mother was a traveling singer and danceentertainer for the renaissance festival, Castor and Pollux which she has a decent relationship with - she has silky black mid-length hair and purple eyes, which she put contacts in when she was younger, since kids would bully her for the fact, she has pale-ish skin that mostly pales in the wintertime, which is why she loves heat. - She’s very sarcastic and has a good sense of humor, while she can be dry sometimes she’s also very good at acting and lying, from her dad. She likes talking. A lot. She’s very good at manipulating people, but she never really uses that ability much. She’s “cold” to people she doesn’t like, and she’s kinda the definition of “I don’t care what anyone thinks”, but she won’t just go frolicking in public screaming Good For You from Dear Evan Hansen at top lung capacity. She’s very dry sometimes, and extremely stubborn. She holds grudges against people, and she thinks first expressions are the most important. She’s a really supportive friend though. She can get quite disrespectful, and believes she shouldn’t have to follow any rules she doesn’t agree with. Overall She’s pretty laidback, unless passionate about a certain topic. - Percy def, uhh, Castor and Pollux, I dunno she likes to stay by herself mostly. Oh yeah, and Grover, they’re gossip buddies - Arlo, APOLLO CABIN KIDS!! - open, probably won’t get one though - miRP - Her mother had polish decent, she’s mostly American though. - Rai-Rai (Mr D.) Rai (Apollo kids) - Dark Academia - She speaks Spanish, French, German, and Italian (not fluently) because she needed to translate some for her mother while traveling. - Archery, she’s like, too good at archery, mostly because her cabin only really had three people in it and she’s convinced her dad to let her practice extra all the time. She also likes doing stuff with the Apollo cabin in general, since their dads are kinda like the two theatre Gods - “I get it, you’re all— without fathers I..” “I’m not. I love my dad.” She loves Dionysus, mostly because he lets her do things other campers can’t, through guilt tripping <3 also cause he teaches her card games, so she can beat her other friends and brag about it. - To make the Gods stop using them as players in their little game, she feels very strongly about defying the Gods,, for some reason. She knows she’ll never succeed, she just wants (mostly for her friends) the gods to actually notice their children. - some form of Janis Ian/Sarkisian - She likes trying to sneak her dad wine, that’s why she’s the favorite child :] - INTJ - DogFish
Arlo Pesci -
17 - Cabin 7/Apollo - his mom was a marine biologist, they had a really close connection. He had a dad (his mom’s husband) before Apollo, who was a nurse, but y’know, after he found out his wife was pregnant with someone random’s child, he divorced her. His stepdad was an ecologist, who worked at a zoo, so he spent most of his childhood at a zoo, now he loves animals. Until his stepdad got a divorce from his mom for money reasons. He’s the middle child of two mortal sisters. His older sister was born from his dad before Apollo, and his younger sister was born from his stepdad. His older sister’s name is Devyn, and his younger sister’s name is Emma - He has curly dirty blonde hair and suntanned skin, with brown/azure eyes that appear orange in the sun. Sometimes he uses hair gel, but he’s mostly given that up, because nobody really cares about what you look like at CHB. He’s often covered in dirt, and sometimes has leaves and twigs caught in his hair. During capture the flag he puts mud on his arms and stuff, and sometimes he creates tiger patterns on himself from the mud :] - He’s very passionate, and mostly happy, but he gets hurt very easily, emotionally. He cries easily as well. It’s a bad habit of his to cry over every little thing. He isn’t very smart, nor was he ever good at school, but he loves the people he surrounds himself with. He’s extremely gullible. Extrovert for sure. - WWIIILLLLL<3333 - uhh, Raiyna, OPEN!! GIVE THIS BOY FRIENDS! - 💍who’s gonna take this - sort of explained in family - his mom was American, with some unknown European ancestors. He’s caucasian. - Songbird/Sunshine (ship) - PrismCore - he’s not very good at that memory thing, probably not, - archery, as any Apollo child, that’s where he met Raiyna ! - he just wishes he could give his dad a big hug, let the boy hug his dad :[ - he wants everyone around him to be happy - Will Connelly or Jake Ryan Flynn - he’s an overachiever :( OH YEAH, HE PLAYS THE UKULELE, AND BASS GUITAR ! - ESFJ - DogFish :]
Ruthie Hearthstone -
16 - Hephaestus - she has her mom and stepdad back home, they’re inventors, - She’s a pale brunette with red streaks in her short hair. She doesn’t wear glasses, although she needs them. She has short sight. Speaking of her vision, she has hazel doe eyes and bruises/cuts on her arm from her machinery. - She’s very.. pre-season 1 Twilight Sparkle. Like, think smart (she wishes she was an Athena kid) but very socially withdrawn, she doesn’t like interaction but what she does like? Being alone with her inventions and metalwork in the forge or cabin 9 (again, pjo, not hoo.) - nobody. - nobody. - be my only friend whoever’s gonna be this girly’s ship. She may be an awkward introvert but she’ll try to give you science pickup lines and she’ll be wholesome to u :] - rrraaahhhhh uhh.. yeah um.. no? She’s just always been like this, her parents want her to be “normal” and socialize buttt? She disagrees. She ran away (AnnabethCore🤩) - America. RAAAHHH 🦅🦅🦅 - Ru / Ruth. She hates when people call her Ruth, because they assume it’s her real name, when Ruthie is what she was born with. - Academia in general - she speaks French and Russian, she learned Russian for fun and French for school. - Staying in her cabin and making stuff. - She doesn’t really care, though she’d like it if she was a child of Athena. - To be actually seen as not just this weird genius girl and for a person to be accepting of her humor and real personality. - Analise Scarpaci - She doesn’t have that cool fire power or whatever, she wishes she did though (she wishes she could be better a lot, she’s actually really insecure.) - INFP - DogFish

Dialogue is probably going to be most of what you type later on in the role-play. Dialogue is when a character is talking, either to themselves or to others. You need marks to represent dialogue though… soo- here’s some ideas :)
“Hi!”

‘ ‘ Hi! ‘ ‘

‘ -_ Hi! _- ‘
‘ ‘ Hi! ‘ ‘
` . Hi! . `
Actions-
At the beginning of every good rp- you use an entire PARAGRAPH of this crap. Oh jeez- every rp I do- I start with a paragraph of some actions or a description of what’s going on around me. Actions are basically everything that isn’t dialogue and thoughts in an rp. That means- “the wind blew softly” is an action in roleplaying. So is- “the floorboards creaked loudly” :) here are some action marks that you can use :D

- BIO TEMPLATES !
15- APHRODITE- the Conners (humans) - A young looking female with brown eyes and light brown hair, she has pale skin and lots of lashes. Her eyes brows are thin and fluffy and is thin. She has freckles on her face and has a height of 5’5 - She is kind,honest (a little too honest,) but can keep secrets, funny, and brave. - (to be made) -(anything dogfish does) - None 🤩 - Nothing dark, just a happy life until her momma made her leave for camp.- German American (like me), with a bit of a German accent. - Val, valentines, tree. - COQUETTE AND DOWNTOWN GIRL 🎀🖤 -she can speak German..- Canoes & sleep.- SHE LOVES HER GODLY MOMMY ❤️- to make a bouquet by the end of camp with mixed flowers, and to get her phone back. - none yet.. - She likes bows and flowers..-(shown in photo)- Lola 🎀
Raiyna Speals -
14 - Cabin 12/Dionysus - mother was a traveling singer and danceentertainer for the renaissance festival, Castor and Pollux which she has a decent relationship with - she has silky black mid-length hair and purple eyes, which she put contacts in when she was younger, since kids would bully her for the fact, she has pale-ish skin that mostly pales in the wintertime, which is why she loves heat. - She’s very sarcastic and has a good sense of humor, while she can be dry sometimes she’s also very good at acting and lying, from her dad. She likes talking. A lot. She’s very good at manipulating people, but she never really uses that ability much. She’s “cold” to people she doesn’t like, and she’s kinda the definition of “I don’t care what anyone thinks”, but she won’t just go frolicking in public screaming Good For You from Dear Evan Hansen at top lung capacity. She’s very dry sometimes, and extremely stubborn. She holds grudges against people, and she thinks first expressions are the most important. She’s a really supportive friend though. She can get quite disrespectful, and believes she shouldn’t have to follow any rules she doesn’t agree with. Overall She’s pretty laidback, unless passionate about a certain topic. - Percy def, uhh, Castor and Pollux, I dunno she likes to stay by herself mostly. Oh yeah, and Grover, they’re gossip buddies - Arlo, APOLLO CABIN KIDS!! - open, probably won’t get one though - miRP - Her mother had polish decent, she’s mostly American though. - Rai-Rai (Mr D.) Rai (Apollo kids) - Dark Academia - She speaks Spanish, French, German, and Italian (not fluently) because she needed to translate some for her mother while traveling. - Archery, she’s like, too good at archery, mostly because her cabin only really had three people in it and she’s convinced her dad to let her practice extra all the time. She also likes doing stuff with the Apollo cabin in general, since their dads are kinda like the two theatre Gods - “I get it, you’re all— without fathers I..” “I’m not. I love my dad.” She loves Dionysus, mostly because he lets her do things other campers can’t, through guilt tripping <3 also cause he teaches her card games, so she can beat her other friends and brag about it. - To make the Gods stop using them as players in their little game, she feels very strongly about defying the Gods,, for some reason. She knows she’ll never succeed, she just wants (mostly for her friends) the gods to actually notice their children. - some form of Janis Ian/Sarkisian - She likes trying to sneak her dad wine, that’s why she’s the favorite child :] - INTJ - DogFish
Arlo Pesci -
17 - Cabin 7/Apollo - his mom was a marine biologist, they had a really close connection. He had a dad (his mom’s husband) before Apollo, who was a nurse, but y’know, after he found out his wife was pregnant with someone random’s child, he divorced her. His stepdad was an ecologist, who worked at a zoo, so he spent most of his childhood at a zoo, now he loves animals. Until his stepdad got a divorce from his mom for money reasons. He’s the middle child of two mortal sisters. His older sister was born from his dad before Apollo, and his younger sister was born from his stepdad. His older sister’s name is Devyn, and his younger sister’s name is Emma - He has curly dirty blonde hair and suntanned skin, with brown/azure eyes that appear orange in the sun. Sometimes he uses hair gel, but he’s mostly given that up, because nobody really cares about what you look like at CHB. He’s often covered in dirt, and sometimes has leaves and twigs caught in his hair. During capture the flag he puts mud on his arms and stuff, and sometimes he creates tiger patterns on himself from the mud :] - He’s very passionate, and mostly happy, but he gets hurt very easily, emotionally. He cries easily as well. It’s a bad habit of his to cry over every little thing. He isn’t very smart, nor was he ever good at school, but he loves the people he surrounds himself with. He’s extremely gullible. Extrovert for sure. - WWIIILLLLL<3333 - uhh, Raiyna, OPEN!! GIVE THIS BOY FRIENDS! - 💍who’s gonna take this - sort of explained in family - his mom was American, with some unknown European ancestors. He’s caucasian. - Songbird/Sunshine (ship) - PrismCore - he’s not very good at that memory thing, probably not, - archery, as any Apollo child, that’s where he met Raiyna ! - he just wishes he could give his dad a big hug, let the boy hug his dad :[ - he wants everyone around him to be happy - Will Connelly or Jake Ryan Flynn - he’s an overachiever :( OH YEAH, HE PLAYS THE UKULELE, AND BASS GUITAR ! - ESFJ - DogFish :]
Ruthie Hearthstone -
16 - Hephaestus - she has her mom and stepdad back home, they’re inventors, - She’s a pale brunette with red streaks in her short hair. She doesn’t wear glasses, although she needs them. She has short sight. Speaking of her vision, she has hazel doe eyes and bruises/cuts on her arm from her machinery. - She’s very.. pre-season 1 Twilight Sparkle. Like, think smart (she wishes she was an Athena kid) but very socially withdrawn, she doesn’t like interaction but what she does like? Being alone with her inventions and metalwork in the forge or cabin 9 (again, pjo, not hoo.) - nobody. - nobody. - be my only friend whoever’s gonna be this girly’s ship. She may be an awkward introvert but she’ll try to give you science pickup lines and she’ll be wholesome to u :] - rrraaahhhhh uhh.. yeah um.. no? She’s just always been like this, her parents want her to be “normal” and socialize buttt? She disagrees. She ran away (AnnabethCore🤩) - America. RAAAHHH 🦅🦅🦅 - Ru / Ruth. She hates when people call her Ruth, because they assume it’s her real name, when Ruthie is what she was born with. - Academia in general - she speaks French and Russian, she learned Russian for fun and French for school. - Staying in her cabin and making stuff. - She doesn’t really care, though she’d like it if she was a child of Athena. - To be actually seen as not just this weird genius girl and for a person to be accepting of her humor and real personality. - Analise Scarpaci - She doesn’t have that cool fire power or whatever, she wishes she did though (she wishes she could be better a lot, she’s actually really insecure.) - INFP - DogFish
2024.05.11 20:30 rosievee Toys for dog with short dental roots?
My 2 year old, male, 30lb, neutered Mexican street dog just had a dental procedure where 9 teeth were removed. This is on top of 6 he was already missing, poor guy. The vet dentist was very clear that all his teeth have short roots and he can never have bones, balls, ropes, or any hard toys or tug for his entire life.
What I forgot to ask is, what CAN he have, besides licky and snuffle mats? Would a soft braid of plush fleece with no knots be okay (not for tug, just to mouth on)? He gets a lot of comfort from a couple ropes he carries around in his mouth, and he's a pretty anxious guy, so I want to swap it for something similar that won't harm him. He doesn't seem to understand stuffed animals so I'm hoping for something rope shaped that's soft and squishy, unless that's too dangerous for his teeth too.
(The place that did his dental only works directly with rescues, so it's hard for me to get a follow up question to them, which is why I'm asking here!)

2024.05.11 19:07 Jinnofthelamp What knot should I use that will fail beyond a certain load?
I'm tying a bandana around a dog's neck. In the event the bandana gets caught around something the knot should fail instead of choking the dog. I could intentionally tie a granny knot but I'd like to know if there are any other options.

2024.05.11 13:26 ReceptionGold9087 Trip to the Mall, Turned an Occult Experience
I was hanging out with my friend, Emily, I usually call her Em, and her friend group. We were in her car listening to music, on our way to the mall. Em and her friends are really cool. They’re all into video games, anime and nerdy stuff like me.
We arrive at the mall. Em’s driving is kinda wonky, but we get to our destination in one piece, thankfully🙏 We walk in to the mall. Straight to a clothes store. I notice they only have women’s clothes. Is it just me or is it always hot in clothes stores? I almost build up a sweat from just standing there. But luckily we didn’t stay there for too long. I start to remember I kinda hate shopping, but then we walked to this store were they have all sorts of pop culture stuff like games and comic books and such. It’s way more fun to look in these kinds of stores in my opinion.
We start getting hungry so we decide that we should get something to eat. We go to the food court. It has several restaurants and chains circling a big open space with tables and seats. Me and Em get a hot dog each. While her friends got some boba tea, a pizza and a quesadilla, which they shared. While we wait in line for the food, one of Em’s friends comes back, she had bought a sweater. It looked pretty cool. A knitted sweater with a gothic inspired cemetery, crows and flies flying around in the air while the ground was infested with rats and worms. I thought it was a cool juxtaposition with the knitted, cozy, warm crafting method, mixed with the dark, harsh, cold realities of the design.
Then we got our foods and went to sit down and enjoy our meals.
After a while we get done eating and start to discuss what to do next. None of us gets any specific idea, so we just hang around and chat for an hour or two. All of a sudden music starts blasting from the speakers. They’re playing Gangnam Style. And a person starts dancing on the open floor right in front of us. Suddenly others starts to join in. I can’t believe it. I realize it’s a flash mob. Im like; What the hell is going on? Have we been transported back to 2012??
Em told me that there was too many people there and that her anxiety was going wild. So we decide to leave. Her friends wanted to stay and see the show though. Which was no problem. On our way out we walk past this one store. I ask if they’re ever going to restore this shop, I can’t remember last time I saw it open.
Theres shutters over the entrance, but it has some holes in it so I try to shine the light from my phones flashlight in there to get a better look. But it’s still too dark to really see anything. Then my friend tries to be funny and tries to spook me, so she jumps on my back, making me drop my phone in to the store. «Nice, what do we do now?» I try to stretch my arm into the store through the shutter holes, but the openings are to small to fit my entire arm. As I try to make my arm fit I notice the shutters are kinda shrugging off the floor. I try to lift them and they fly up. Someone must have forgotten to lock them.
No one else were nearby, everybody in the mall were probably to preoccupied with the flash mob. So we walk inside. I grab my phone off the floor. I shine my phone on the stand I vaguely see next to me, and there I see all these games and statues. This store used to be a GameStop. All GameStops in my country are now closed down. Which is sad😿 This store must have been closed down since the start of the 2010s, at least. Because the shop was filled with games for the xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii. Did we actually travel back in time or what is even happening right now?
I started remembering I used to go to this store all the time when I was just a kid. It was such a blast from the past. Like a rush of nostalgia. The games were scattered on the shelves, like half of them had been cleared for the shut down of the store. They still had some solid games though, like Super Mario Galaxy, the original Red Dead Redemption, Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, Black Ops, God of War 3. They also had box sets on the top shelves. The ones you could preorder and get a statue with the game, or some times other miscellaneous thingys. I couldn’t believe that these things were just laying around there. Em was also pretty awestruck.
Em immediately rattled on about how cool it all was, but also wondered why this would still be here. I had no idea, but I knew one thing. I wanted to check out the backroom. I always wondered what was on the other side of that door. It was located behind the counter. When I was small only the employees were allowed entrance. I always wondered what was on the other side when they would go check if they had a game or something.
I walked up behind the counter to the door. I laid my hand on the door handle, and pushed it down. Of course, it was locked. I turned around and flashed the flashlight of my phone on the counter. There was a computer and two monitors on the top of the desk, it didn’t work anymore. Beneath it were some drawers. I went through them. They were filled with game discs. I noticed that there was a key chain down in the corner of the one drawer. Maybe one of the keys could fit the door.
One of the keys did fit. I opened the door, and inside I saw a red ouroboros surrounding an inverted pentagram made out of Celtic knots, with an ankh in the middle of the pentagram. There were candles in each of its corner, half burned down. Each of the points of the pentagram pointed to its own symbol. I had to search them up and try to find them when I got home, so hopefully these are right. Under the middle downwards point of the pentagram was an alchemical solar symbol. At the middle left point was a Sri Yantra symbol. In the upper left corner the cross of saint Peter, i.e. an inverted cross. In the upper right corner was the sigil of Lucifer. And at the middle right point the I’itoi symbol. Pretty weird.
When Em came in behind me she didn’t say anything. She then said she wanted to get out of there now. So we left.

Memory Transcription Subject: Taisa, Venlil Starship Engineer, Crystal Star Shipping Co-Owner
Date [Standardized Human Time]: October 16th, 2136
My ear twitches as it catches the first sounds of morning coming from the kitchen, and Chris snorts at the sudden interruption. I delight in the comforting pull of his arms, even if it tugs my wool a little. He draws small circles in the wool of my back, gently coaxing me to wake alongside him, even as his groggy grumble reminds me how long I’d already been awake.
“G’Mornin, Darlin’.” He yawns before planting a small kiss on my snout, eagerly met by my own happy mewl as I stretched and wove my claws through the ‘wool’ on his chest, “Sleep well?”
“Better than I would have thought…” I purred, nuzzling up into his neck as I stretched, reaching for my pad on the bed-side before flicking it on to a notification from over a claw ago that it’d lost signal. “Don’t know if Mama even responded.”
“I’m sorry, Darlin’.” He whispered, pulling me in tight to his chest with a sorrowful look on his face.
“I hope they’re alright.” I whispered back, pressing in close as I pulled my eyes from the empty screen, dropping the pad to fall into the mattress beside us.
“I’m sure they are, hon’.” Chris’ voice poured through me as he held me tight, his hands still gently caressing my wool as the sounds in the kitchen grew ever louder. “Though, if’n we make it out the other side of all this, I think your Pa’s gonna have words for me again.”
“Mama too!” A small burble of whistling laughter filled my throat at the memory of Papa angrily jabbing a claw up at Chris’ hulking form when we’d returned from The Cradle.
“I’ll bet they’re happier to see us alive than they will be angry we stayed.” Chris rumbled in reply, his hand trailing lightly through my wool down my back.
“I hope so.” I sighed, stretching in his grasp, doing my best to work the lethargy from my limbs as the tantalizing taste of whatever Darlene was cooking reached my tongue. “For now let's just…”
“Get through this as best we can? Agreed.” Chris grunted, finishing my hanging sentence as he propped himself up against a pile of pillows and suddenly pulled me against him. A soft bleat of surprise slipped from my mouth, quickly silenced by a wonderfully warm kiss that I eagerly pressed into. A small smile crossed his lips as we hung there, separated by no more than a breath of air before he spoke. “Smells like Ma’s makin’ up somethin’ delicious.”
“Of course food is the first thing your mind goes to once you’re actually awake.” I laughed, my tail slipping from his leg to playfully tap the side of his face as I slid down to nuzzle his neck.
“When Ma’s cookin’ you bet it is!” He replied, placing another, softer kiss on my crown before shifting out beneath me and rising to his feet with a stretch and a yawn. “‘Sides, it beats stayin’ in bed all day just… waitin’.”
“Yea, yea I suppose it does.” My ears drooped at the mention of what was coming, that hanging specter of the Extermination Fleet slipping to the forefront of my mind as I ran my claws through my wool, peering into the old mirror in the corner. “What did you want to do today?”
“First: eat breakfast. Then we feed the cows real quick ‘fore they get upset. After that, I figure we go up to the peak again and watch the lightshow. Hidin’ won’t do us no good anyhow, least we can have a nice view if’n it all comes down.” He answered, his voice stiff in its attempts to be nonchalant, doing his best to stay upbeat despite the subject. “Make a few sandwiches and snacks, take a nice hike and just watch.”
“Think that’ll help at all?” I asked, my voice only just louder than a whisper as I turned from the mirror, finding him already dressed and, for the most part, groomed.
“No clue, but I bet it’ll feel a lot better than sitting in a dank hole waiting for it to end anyhow.” Chris shrugged, pulling his hat down tight on his head as he bent over to give me another kiss. “‘Sides, I bet Roscoe’d love to find his way along for a bit. Though you might have to fight him o’er the peaches.”
A jolt of surprise flicked up my ears as I felt my tail wag at the thought of the dog joyfully chomping at the peaches, his little shoot-tail wagging as fast as he could manage. “That does sound nice…”
“Thought you’d like that. Now, how’s ‘bout we get some breakfast?” He asked with a smile, stepping to the door with a sure stride before swinging it open and gesturing me through. “After you, Hon’.”
The delightful, familiar taste of sizzling potatoes, carrots and all manner of spices I couldn’t recognize filled the air as we stepped into the kitchen to find Darlene hard at work over the stove, whistling happily as she was surrounded by what I thought had to be the entire kitchen’s worth of pots, pans, skillets and tools. Michael and Ryan were sat at the island across from her, chatting idly as Roscoe happily trotted to Chris and I.
A twitch of fear zipped down my spine and out of my tail as the dog looked up to me, letting out a soft whine as he licked his chops and plopped to the floor before rolling over to show Chris and I his belly.
“Good Morn’ Roscoooe! Time for some belly rubs, ol’ buddy.” Chris cooed, stooping over to vigorously rub at the dogs belly, eliciting a rising rumble of groans, pants and whines as the brown and white mass of fur wiggled back and forth happily. “You happy to see Taisa again, bud?”
A lolling, pink tongue fell from Roscoe’s mouth as he basked in the moment of adoring attention. I glanced up, finding Chris’ parents and Ryan watching me hover off to Chris’ side. Michael gave me a nod and a small smile, gently encouraging me forward to Chris’ side. “He still won’t bite ya, unless’n ya consider over-eager kisses to be bitin’.”
The light warmth of a small bloom spread under my wool as I stepped forward, crouching at Chris’ side. Worry flashed through my mind while I looked down at Roscoe’s glistening, pointed teeth before being rapidly replaced by amusement as he let out an adorable, appreciative grunt that sounded far too much like Papa after settling into a good bath to relax.
You’ve come this far already, he was plenty gentle last time you were here paw-feeding him peaches.
My paw slipped into his fur, met by a warm, soft blanket that I hadn’t fully expected as I slowly massaged my claws through his coat, eliciting another battery of pleased groans. Before I knew it, both of my paws were hard at work rubbing and scratching though his fur as if I weren’t touching a predator like it was nothing to be worried about.
Maybe because it isn’t. You’re in love with one, after all.
The distinct clink of plates being set on the countertop snapped me from the luxurious fur of Roscoe’s coat as Darlene’s sing-song voice filled the air. “Breakfast is served!”
“Taisa, I couldn’t rightly convince Michael or Ryan to give up a Naw’lins breakfast today but don’chu worry. I’ve got the vegan options set aside for ya in the green bowls and the blue carton next to the coffee is the vanilla oat…” She paused a moment, obviously searching her mind for a ‘better’ word than whatever the actual one was. “Juice? It’s good to cut the coffee with, if’n it’s a bit too strong for ya. Oh! And the orange pitcher is orange juice if ya really don’t like the coffee!”
I looked across the table, finding four green bowls and a platter amongst a scattered sea of different colored bowls, platters and trays. Ryan leaned forward, gently sticking his fork into a thin, flaky white slab sat atop a blue plate before setting it onto his own.
Is that…
Does it really matter anymore?
Chris pulled his eyes from the spread of food in front of us, glancing over at me with worried eyes as the rest of his family set about preparing their own plates. He slipped into a stool with a soft creak, pulling a plate in front of himself before settling a napkin across his lap. Another zip of fear bolted down my tail at the thought of my Love digging into a cut of flesh like his brother was. I could feel my ears swiveling with anxiety as my tail all but twisted itself into knots and I watched him gently skewer a few pieces of fruit and collect a scoop of some steaming medley of vegetables.
Is Chris going to?
It's lab-grown, isn’t it? Not a single animal was hurt making it so why shouldn’t he? Is it really any worse than a plant when it’s grown in a lab?
My wool flared with worry as I settled into the stool next to him, nervously fidgeting with the plate and ‘fork’ in front of me as I watched Chris’ family take their picks of the spread on the table. Each one had picked at least something off the… other plates before picking a few pieces of fruit: a steaming helping of rice and vegetables, a scoop of those delicious crispy tubers Papa loved or whatever those fluffy, golden pillows were off the green dishes. Chris looked over to me again, his gaze making me feel like I was little more than an upset pup about to throw a fit for not being entirely comfortable.
Disappointment…
That’s not what he thinks and you know it.
But what if he does? What if I a-
You’re not. And we already knew what he was when we made our decision. It had to happen sometime, didn’t it?
I let out a soft sigh, placing a paw on his thigh and meeting his eye as he took a crunchy bite from an apple. “Chris, what do you want to eat?”
“I’m fine with some fr-” He started, talking between chews of his apple, earning an annoyed look from Darlene.
“No, not what you’re fine with, what do you want to eat?” I repeated, pressing my paw a little tighter to his leg as my tail found its way around his ankle. “I… you don’t have to try and dance around what you are for my sake, Love. I love you for you, not your diet. If I could get past the eyes I can get past this.”
“You sure?” He whispered, glancing from me to that same plate he’d kept looking at in the middle of the table with a few cuts of pink and speckled black meat on it. “I don’t wanna ma-”
“Chris, you’ve done nothing but take supplements, indulge Papa’s cooking and eat a genuinely concerning volume of string-fruit for the past few herds. Yes, I’m sure.” I answered, patting his leg and taking a deep breath before watching as he looked to his family for a moment and then back to me.
Chris’ mouth hung open as he tried to stammer a response, some assurance, some empty ‘I’m fine’, before he sighed, setting his hand softly on mine and squeezing gently before I turned my paw over to squeeze back. “… Thank you, Darlin’. Mama’s blackened Red-Drum n’ grits ‘re worth it, I promise you that.”
“Go for it, big-guy.” I purred, doing my best to bolster my confidence as he leaned forward to take a scoop of the off-white grain, dropping it into a bowl before gently laying a sliver of pink and black flesh across the top of it.
A silver spoon cut a piece of the meat free along with a scoop of the ‘grits’, he drew in a deep breath as it hung just before his mouth, closing his eyes with a small smile that reminded me all too much of Mama when Papa made one of her Mama’s recipes. The spoon slipped into his mouth, the food disappearing with it, prompting a pleasant groan from Chris before he leaned back in his chair and let out a contented sigh. “Stars I’ve missed that. No offense to your Pa’ but ain’t nothin’ beat’s Ma’s cookin’.”
“I t-think he might contest that.” I replied, as a shiver passed through my wool at the thought before I quickly batted it away, doing my best to plant my foot against the building anxiety in my chest. “What should I have?”
“Can’t go wrong with Ma’s pancakes and some maple syrup! Fluffy as all hell and just as sweet.Fully Vegan too!” He replied, pointing to the golden pillows before breaking off another chunk of flesh as his voice turned mischievous. “‘Tween that, some fruit and a good helping of roasted vegetables, I’m not sure you could fit much else.”
“Excuse you! I can eat my fill plenty!” I bleated back, pulling my eyes from the contents of his bowl to look over the ‘pancakes’, catching a trio of amused eyes watching us as we bickered. Defiantly I leaned forward and skewered one, plopping it on my plate before collecting the flask of brown syrup, dumping a hardy portion on top of it and cutting a slice free to pop into my mouth.
Stars above was he right.
The dough all but melted in my mouth, the nutty sweetness of the syrup mixed with the light airy taste of the pancake to make something that far outstripped any dessert Strayu I’d ever had. I found myself letting out a trill of happiness as I took another bite, my tail wagging ecstatically at each delicious chew before my plate was suddenly empty again.
“Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone go through one of Ma’s Vegan pancakes quite that fast other’n Annie.” Ryan laughed before skewering another few golden brown chunks of potato and popping them in his mouth.
“Well lucky for her, seconds are an option!” Darlene replied with a broad grin, gently cutting her meal up as she watched me reach for another delicious pancake. “So, what are you two getting up to today?”
“Well,” Chris mumbled past a mouthful of his food, holding a fist to his mouth seemingly appeasing her, even if only just, before continuing. “I’s figurin’ we’ll take care of feedin’ the cow’s for y’all ‘fore we head up to the outlook to… watch.”
“Oh! Thank you, Son.” Michael responded, sliding his now clean plate away from himself as he spoke. “Guess Ryan an’ I can get some work done in the garage then!”
“I’ll have some snacks and a good dinner ready for you two when you’re done! Won’t do to go up there and be hungry!” Darlene exclaimed, a flash of excitement in her eyes as she started to rattle off options she could have ready for us to take up.
“Thank you Ma’. Whatever you decide on I’m sure we’ll love it.” Chris stated, a small smile pulling at the corners of his face as he scooped the last of the grits from his bowl.
It’s like nothing’s even happening to them. Just like it’s another normal paw.
[Advance Transcript by Time Unit: 8 Hours]
The silence of the forest around us echoed with the sounds of calling birds and rustling leaves that sounded strikingly familiar to the preserves at home, the dragging weight of a ‘lunch box’ that was positively stuffed to the brim with food hung on my shoulder as we steadily plodded our way up the mountainside. The sky far above had shifted, the pale blues and white clouds of day deepening into streaking purples, fiery oranges and brilliant yellows as the sun had begun to set. It still amazed me that he got to see the night every paw, watching what Heartwood River had built an entire festival around, something that most Venlil never even saw in the first place was so common, so beautiful.
It was astoundingly, beautifully, breathtaking.
Chris’ heavy footfalls a few tails ahead pulled me from my thoughts, the soft, hollow clunk of his guitar on his hip accompanied the jangling clink of the golden buckles on his rifle’s sling as he spoke. “Not much farther now, Darlin’. You still good carryin’ dinner? I can take it off ya’ ‘til we get to the top if’n ya need.”
I stifled a snicker as I readjusted the strap, picking up my pace so I wasn’t slowing us down. “I’m fine. Not like I’m gonna let you carry everything, Heartwood. Besides, lower gravity certainly helps!”
“Oh? You gonna jump up to give me another kiss?” He laughed, slowing his stride for a few steps to let me catch up. “Certainly wouldn’t mind any.”
“Oh really? Maybe I will!”” I purred back, sticking my tongue out at him as he shifted the rifle around to rest against his back, prompting another thought to surface in my mind. “Why’d you bring the revolver and the rifle?”
He gave a noncommittal shrug and grunt, his hand rising to rest on the gleaming pistol as the holster squeaked and groaned a little under the weight. “Just… feels like somethin’ I can control in all this. ‘Sides, she’s like an old good luck charm. Pappy always told me I’d never be alone so long’s I kept a good rifle by my side when things got rough. I figure there ain’t nothin’ much rougher’n this.”
A soft mewl of understanding slipped from my snout as the path beneath our feet leveled out, the trees in front of us fading away to a vast expanse of rising mountain peaks and deep, tree filled valleys framing the setting sun like a perfectly placed photograph. “Mama always seems to feel better when she’s got that old rifle of hers around, said having it nearby always calmed her nerves.”
“I’m surprised that monster doesn’t knock her on her ass! I need to get her to let me send some rounds through that thing sometime to feel it out.” He replied with a smile, gently setting his old wooden guitar down, leaning it against the low edge of the rock outcropping before slinging his rifle free and bringing it to his shoulder to look out across the valley. “Ol’ Isabella ain’t never let me down, she’s like a lucky charm ‘s far as I’m concerned.”
“I know you said your ‘Pappy’ gave her to you for those competitions you two used to go to, but I don’t think you ever told me why it was that gun specifically.” I asked, nonchalantly setting my load down on top of the rock outcropping, doing my best to hide the wag in my tail as I tried to nudge him into rambling again. It was always cute when he got excited about something.
Same thing he said about me getting tail deep in oil, spare parts and burnt carbon.
“Ol’ Izzy? She’s a Henry Model ‘60. Same gun the ‘hero’ used in one of our favorite movies set back in the eighteen hundreds, or at least a really nice replica with some customizations Pappy and I had ‘our’ gunsmith down in town do.” He answered, slipping the lever down with the sweet sound of well maintained linkages and religiously oiled parts.
“What’d you have them do?” I asked, leering around his side to stare up at the rifle in his hands, my ears raised with interest as he lowered it and crouched to my height to show me.
“Most of it was to do with the action, bringin’ her up to competition grade. Lightening a few parts here, strengthening a few bolts there, tightening up some linkages over yonder. Cleaned out the rifling, added a loop lever and made the trigger feather weight. Top it all off with the blackout finish to make the gold pop against her ebony furniture and damn if she ain’t pretty.” He let out a chuckle as he polished a smudge from the rifle’s gleaming flank, a fond look on his face as he brought his eyes up to cast a gaze out across the mountain range. “Hell, Pappy always used to joke that she ‘was the only woman that boy’d ever need’. Mama never was a fan of that one...”
Stars I love it when he gets like this.
“Is that normal, for Humans?”
“Hmm?”
“Getting that attached to a firearm? Mama used to spend a whole half-claw taking her rifle apart, oiling it, checking the connections and making sure everything was right before putting it back together again. She said it helped calm her down when her leg hurt.”
“Firearms specifically? No, not really, most people just have something what’s important to them for one reason or another. Pa’s ol’ telescope was another gift from Pappy and whenever he gets stressed out he just sits there and stares up at the sky with it. Ma’ loves her ol’ mixer from the restaurant, anytime she gets wired she dives straight into making something to keep her hands busy…” He sighed as his hands tightened around the rifle for a moment before he leaned it against the rock outcrop and sat down. “For me, Izzy’s one of the few things that ain’t family that’s always been there and… she’s really the last thing I have of Pappy… Man, I miss him sometimes.”
“He sounds like he meant a lot to you, Heartwood… I wish I’d gotten to meet him.”
“He did, Darlin’... He sure did.”
Silence fell between the two of us as I slipped down to sit beside him, the only sounds around us those of the forest itself and the hollow, musical winds of the valleys beyond. Chris’ hand found my back, my tail slipping tight around his wrist as I pressed into him. Everything was quiet again as we watched the sun dip below the distant horizon, the spectrum of vibrant colors slipping away to the deep black-blue of night and its tapestry of stars.
Stars above but that moon was beautiful.
I’d seen it last time we were here, but not like this. This time it was massive, a glowing white spot-light casting down onto us, the rising mountains and the rest of Earth below it. A dusting of black dots zipped back and forth in front of it, Earth’s defenders settling into their final preparations as the Extermination fleet no doubt closed in.
Like it's trying to shine a little light of its own.
Michael had shown us video from one of Earth’s orbital telescopes of the U.N.’s opening salvo, a veritable basin of FTL propelled asteroids they had managed to drop from warp just in front of the fleet had sent them scampering out of the way as best they could. More than a few Federation ships had been turned to scrap-piles against the rocks while a few pawfuls more slammed into each other in their panic. It was crafty, that was certain, I’d never seen anything even close to it tried before in any of the history books I’d read. Humanity, it seemed, was pulling out all the stops they could think of.
I’d be lying if I said it didn’t give me at least a little hope.
“What was the movie?” I asked, breaking the silence with a whisper, doing my best to lift the mood back up to something positive. I nuzzled his neck gently before I rose, padding over to root around in the bag to find what Darlene had packed for us.
“Old western flick, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. ‘Bout a few outlaws durin’ the civil war a few hundred years ago tryin’ to steal a bunch of gold and what not. I’d show it to you but… well it’s kinda violent. Don’t think it even made it near the data-dump.”
“Heartwood, after what we’ve gone through I think a ‘rather violent’ movie is the least of things to be concerned about me bolting off for. Once this is all over I think a claw spent curled up in bed watching a movie would be well deserved.”
“Well… it’s a bit more than thaaaat.” He stated, his voice stretching as I heard the smile I knew was spreading on his face fill his voice clear as the river. “That’s the last movie in the saga, can’t just watch one!”
“Then we can make a whole paw of it!” I replied, my voice a happy, joking purr as I pulled the first platter of vegetables and ‘nut-cheeses’ from inside the bag before meandering back over to Chris. “Get some more of that ‘sushi’ from the place you won’t shut up about in Tokyo, put the movies on the holo-viewer in our cabin and just relax.”
“Damn if that don’t sound like a nice date night to me.” He replied, reaching up to snag a slice of apple from the tray as I set it on the rock in front of me.
He glanced over, meeting my eyes as we sat and watched the gathering storm in the void beyond, his voice strong and confident as he spoke, even if his inflection was still horrible. “I love you, Tai… Whatever happens, I love you.”
“I love you too, Chris.” I affirmed, staring back into his eyes before placing my crown gently to his forehead. “Whatever happens.”

Date [Standardized Human Time]: October 16th, 2136
My ear twitches as it catches the first sounds of morning coming from the kitchen, and Chris snorts at the sudden interruption. I delight in the comforting pull of his arms, even if it tugs my wool a little. He draws small circles in the wool of my back, gently coaxing me to wake alongside him, even as his groggy grumble reminds me how long I’d already been awake.
“G’Mornin, Darlin’.” He yawns before planting a small kiss on my snout, eagerly met by my own happy mewl as I stretched and wove my claws through the ‘wool’ on his chest, “Sleep well?”
“Better than I would have thought…” I purred, nuzzling up into his neck as I stretched, reaching for my pad on the bed-side before flicking it on to a notification from over a claw ago that it’d lost signal. “Don’t know if Mama even responded.”
“I’m sorry, Darlin’.” He whispered, pulling me in tight to his chest with a sorrowful look on his face.
“I hope they’re alright.” I whispered back, pressing in close as I pulled my eyes from the empty screen, dropping the pad to fall into the mattress beside us.
“I’m sure they are, hon’.” Chris’ voice poured through me as he held me tight, his hands still gently caressing my wool as the sounds in the kitchen grew ever louder. “Though, if’n we make it out the other side of all this, I think your Pa’s gonna have words for me again.”
“Mama too!” A small burble of whistling laughter filled my throat at the memory of Papa angrily jabbing a claw up at Chris’ hulking form when we’d returned from The Cradle.
“I’ll bet they’re happier to see us alive than they will be angry we stayed.” Chris rumbled in reply, his hand trailing lightly through my wool down my back.
“I hope so.” I sighed, stretching in his grasp, doing my best to work the lethargy from my limbs as the tantalizing taste of whatever Darlene was cooking reached my tongue. “For now let's just…”
“Get through this as best we can? Agreed.” Chris grunted, finishing my hanging sentence as he propped himself up against a pile of pillows and suddenly pulled me against him. A soft bleat of surprise slipped from my mouth, quickly silenced by a wonderfully warm kiss that I eagerly pressed into. A small smile crossed his lips as we hung there, separated by no more than a breath of air before he spoke. “Smells like Ma’s makin’ up somethin’ delicious.”
“Of course food is the first thing your mind goes to once you’re actually awake.” I laughed, my tail slipping from his leg to playfully tap the side of his face as I slid down to nuzzle his neck.
“When Ma’s cookin’ you bet it is!” He replied, placing another, softer kiss on my crown before shifting out beneath me and rising to his feet with a stretch and a yawn. “‘Sides, it beats stayin’ in bed all day just… waitin’.”
“Yea, yea I suppose it does.” My ears drooped at the mention of what was coming, that hanging specter of the Extermination Fleet slipping to the forefront of my mind as I ran my claws through my wool, peering into the old mirror in the corner. “What did you want to do today?”
“First: eat breakfast. Then we feed the cows real quick ‘fore they get upset. After that, I figure we go up to the peak again and watch the lightshow. Hidin’ won’t do us no good anyhow, least we can have a nice view if’n it all comes down.” He answered, his voice stiff in its attempts to be nonchalant, doing his best to stay upbeat despite the subject. “Make a few sandwiches and snacks, take a nice hike and just watch.”
“Think that’ll help at all?” I asked, my voice only just louder than a whisper as I turned from the mirror, finding him already dressed and, for the most part, groomed.
“No clue, but I bet it’ll feel a lot better than sitting in a dank hole waiting for it to end anyhow.” Chris shrugged, pulling his hat down tight on his head as he bent over to give me another kiss. “‘Sides, I bet Roscoe’d love to find his way along for a bit. Though you might have to fight him o’er the peaches.”
A jolt of surprise flicked up my ears as I felt my tail wag at the thought of the dog joyfully chomping at the peaches, his little shoot-tail wagging as fast as he could manage. “That does sound nice…”
“Thought you’d like that. Now, how’s ‘bout we get some breakfast?” He asked with a smile, stepping to the door with a sure stride before swinging it open and gesturing me through. “After you, Hon’.”
The delightful, familiar taste of sizzling potatoes, carrots and all manner of spices I couldn’t recognize filled the air as we stepped into the kitchen to find Darlene hard at work over the stove, whistling happily as she was surrounded by what I thought had to be the entire kitchen’s worth of pots, pans, skillets and tools. Michael and Ryan were sat at the island across from her, chatting idly as Roscoe happily trotted to Chris and I.
A twitch of fear zipped down my spine and out of my tail as the dog looked up to me, letting out a soft whine as he licked his chops and plopped to the floor before rolling over to show Chris and I his belly.
“Good Morn’ Roscoooe! Time for some belly rubs, ol’ buddy.” Chris cooed, stooping over to vigorously rub at the dogs belly, eliciting a rising rumble of groans, pants and whines as the brown and white mass of fur wiggled back and forth happily. “You happy to see Taisa again, bud?”
A lolling, pink tongue fell from Roscoe’s mouth as he basked in the moment of adoring attention. I glanced up, finding Chris’ parents and Ryan watching me hover off to Chris’ side. Michael gave me a nod and a small smile, gently encouraging me forward to Chris’ side. “He still won’t bite ya, unless’n ya consider over-eager kisses to be bitin’.”
The light warmth of a small bloom spread under my wool as I stepped forward, crouching at Chris’ side. Worry flashed through my mind while I looked down at Roscoe’s glistening, pointed teeth before being rapidly replaced by amusement as he let out an adorable, appreciative grunt that sounded far too much like Papa after settling into a good bath to relax.
You’ve come this far already, he was plenty gentle last time you were here paw-feeding him peaches.
My paw slipped into his fur, met by a warm, soft blanket that I hadn’t fully expected as I slowly massaged my claws through his coat, eliciting another battery of pleased groans. Before I knew it, both of my paws were hard at work rubbing and scratching though his fur as if I weren’t touching a predator like it was nothing to be worried about.
Maybe because it isn’t. You’re in love with one, after all.
The distinct clink of plates being set on the countertop snapped me from the luxurious fur of Roscoe’s coat as Darlene’s sing-song voice filled the air. “Breakfast is served!”
“Taisa, I couldn’t rightly convince Michael or Ryan to give up a Naw’lins breakfast today but don’chu worry. I’ve got the vegan options set aside for ya in the green bowls and the blue carton next to the coffee is the vanilla oat…” She paused a moment, obviously searching her mind for a ‘better’ word than whatever the actual one was. “Juice? It’s good to cut the coffee with, if’n it’s a bit too strong for ya. Oh! And the orange pitcher is orange juice if ya really don’t like the coffee!”
I looked across the table, finding four green bowls and a platter amongst a scattered sea of different colored bowls, platters and trays. Ryan leaned forward, gently sticking his fork into a thin, flaky white slab sat atop a blue plate before setting it onto his own.
Is that…
Does it really matter anymore?
Chris pulled his eyes from the spread of food in front of us, glancing over at me with worried eyes as the rest of his family set about preparing their own plates. He slipped into a stool with a soft creak, pulling a plate in front of himself before settling a napkin across his lap. Another zip of fear bolted down my tail at the thought of my Love digging into a cut of flesh like his brother was. I could feel my ears swiveling with anxiety as my tail all but twisted itself into knots and I watched him gently skewer a few pieces of fruit and collect a scoop of some steaming medley of vegetables.
Is Chris going to?
It's lab-grown, isn’t it? Not a single animal was hurt making it so why shouldn’t he? Is it really any worse than a plant when it’s grown in a lab?
My wool flared with worry as I settled into the stool next to him, nervously fidgeting with the plate and ‘fork’ in front of me as I watched Chris’ family take their picks of the spread on the table. Each one had picked at least something off the… other plates before picking a few pieces of fruit: a steaming helping of rice and vegetables, a scoop of those delicious crispy tubers Papa loved or whatever those fluffy, golden pillows were off the green dishes. Chris looked over to me again, his gaze making me feel like I was little more than an upset pup about to throw a fit for not being entirely comfortable.
Disappointment…
That’s not what he thinks and you know it.
But what if he does? What if I a-
You’re not. And we already knew what he was when we made our decision. It had to happen sometime, didn’t it?
I let out a soft sigh, placing a paw on his thigh and meeting his eye as he took a crunchy bite from an apple. “Chris, what do you want to eat?”
“I’m fine with some fr-” He started, talking between chews of his apple, earning an annoyed look from Darlene.
“No, not what you’re fine with, what do you want to eat?” I repeated, pressing my paw a little tighter to his leg as my tail found its way around his ankle. “I… you don’t have to try and dance around what you are for my sake, Love. I love you for you, not your diet. If I could get past the eyes I can get past this.”
“You sure?” He whispered, glancing from me to that same plate he’d kept looking at in the middle of the table with a few cuts of pink and speckled black meat on it. “I don’t wanna ma-”
“Chris, you’ve done nothing but take supplements, indulge Papa’s cooking and eat a genuinely concerning volume of string-fruit for the past few herds. Yes, I’m sure.” I answered, patting his leg and taking a deep breath before watching as he looked to his family for a moment and then back to me.

Mama’s blackened Red-Drum n’ grits ‘re worth it, I promise you that.”
“Go for it, big-guy.” I purred, doing my best to bolster my confidence as he leaned forward to take a scoop of the off-white grain, dropping it into a bowl before gently laying a sliver of pink and black flesh across the top of it.

Top it all off with the blackout finish to make the gold pop against her ebony furniture and damn if she ain’t pretty.” He let out a chuckle as he polished a smudge from the rifle’s gleaming flank, a fond look on his face as he brought his eyes up to cast a gaze out across the mountain range. “Hell, Pappy always used to joke that she ‘was the only woman that boy’d ever need’. Mama never was a fan of that one...”
Stars I love it when he gets like this.
“Is that normal, for Humans?”
“Hmm?”
“Getting that attached to a firearm? Mama used to spend a whole half-claw taking her rifle apart, oiling it, checking the connections and making sure everything was right before putting it back together again. She said it helped calm her down when her leg hurt.”
“Firearms specifically? No, not really, most people just have something what’s important to them for one reason or another. Pa’s ol’ telescope was another gift from Pappy and whenever he gets stressed out he just sits there and stares up at the sky with it. Ma’ loves her ol’ mixer from the restaurant, anytime she gets wired she dives straight into making something to keep her hands busy…” He sighed as his hands tightened around the rifle for a moment before he leaned it against the rock outcrop and sat down. “For me, Izzy’s one of the few things that ain’t family that’s always been there and… she’s really the last thing I have of Pappy… Man, I miss him sometimes.”
“He sounds like he meant a lot to you, Heartwood… I wish I’d gotten to meet him.”
“He did, Darlin’... He sure did.”
Silence fell between the two of us as I slipped down to sit beside him, the only sounds around us those of the forest itself and the hollow, musical winds of the valleys beyond. Chris’ hand found my back, my tail slipping tight around his wrist as I pressed into him. Everything was quiet again as we watched the sun dip below the distant horizon, the spectrum of vibrant colors slipping away to the deep black-blue of night and its tapestry of stars.
Stars above but that moon was beautiful.
I’d seen it last time we were here, but not like this. This time it was massive, a glowing white spot-light casting down onto us, the rising mountains and the rest of Earth below it. A dusting of black dots zipped back and forth in front of it, Earth’s defenders settling into their final preparations as the Extermination fleet no doubt closed in.
Like it's trying to shine a little light of its own.
Michael had shown us video from one of Earth’s orbital telescopes of the U.N.’s opening salvo, a veritable basin of FTL propelled asteroids they had managed to drop from warp just in front of the fleet had sent them scampering out of the way as best they could. More than a few Federation ships had been turned to scrap-piles against the rocks while a few pawfuls more slammed into each other in their panic. It was crafty, that was certain, I’d never seen anything even close to it tried before in any of the history books I’d read. Humanity, it seemed, was pulling out all the stops they could think of.
I’d be lying if I said it didn’t give me at least a little hope.
“What was the movie?” I asked, breaking the silence with a whisper, doing my best to lift the mood back up to something positive. I nuzzled his neck gently before I rose, padding over to root around in the bag to find what Darlene had packed for us.
“Old western flick, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. ‘Bout a few outlaws durin’ the civil war a few hundred years ago tryin’ to steal a bunch of gold and what not. I’d show it to you but… well it’s kinda violent. Don’t think it even made it near the data-dump.”
“Heartwood, after what we’ve gone through I think a ‘rather violent’ movie is the least of things to be concerned about me bolting off for. Once this is all over I think a claw spent curled up in bed watching a movie would be well deserved.”
“Well… it’s a bit more than thaaaat.” He stated, his voice stretching as I heard the smile I knew was spreading on his face fill his voice clear as the river. “That’s the last movie in the saga, can’t just watch one!”
“Then we can make a whole paw of it!” I replied, my voice a happy, joking purr as I pulled the first platter of vegetables and ‘nut-cheeses’ from inside the bag before meandering back over to Chris. “Get some more of that ‘sushi’ from the place you won’t shut up about in Tokyo, put the movies on the holo-viewer in our cabin and just relax.”
“Damn if that don’t sound like a nice date night to me.” He replied, reaching up to snag a slice of apple from the tray as I set it on the rock in front of me.
He glanced over, meeting my eyes as we sat and watched the gathering storm in the void beyond, his voice strong and confident as he spoke, even if his inflection was still horrible. “I love you, Tai… Whatever happens, I love you.”
“I love you too, Chris.” I affirmed, staring back into his eyes before placing my crown gently to his forehead. “Whatever happens.”

Somer is now back at the shelter after being in foster care since November of 2023, due to them moving across the country. Somer originally came to us in November after she was found as a stray and brought in by the police, who noted her to be very friendly! Somer is a 60-lb pittie girl with a heart of gold. She got her name from how she somersaults into your lap for cuddles. Just a goofy, sweetheart! She's a tank and she would do best with a family who has experience with big dogs working on their leash manners. She also needs to be the only animal in the house because she is pretty dog reactive at this time. She would really benefit from a fenced yard where she could get her zoomies out so she can focus better on training. According to Somer’s foster family “Somer loves to stand on the couch beside you, press the top of her head into your lap and then slowly lift her hind legs (in what can only be described as a somersault) until she is fully nestled into your lap, belly up (often with my hind end higher than her head). She is affectionate beyond belief, but not clingy. She is happy to hang out by herself during work hours, as long as the day starts and ends with big snugs.She's a confident and brave gal who likes to approach new things with curiosity. She doesn't mind bath time, vacuuming, and even stuck her head in the concave door of her foster friends washing machine to see what was making that sloshing sound! She knows how to be polite with food and understands that human food is for humans. She's very polite with all human things and is not destructive at all.” While in Somer’s foster home she was also noted to be housetrained and crate trained, and has great manners at home! Somer has been patiently waiting for her forever home and is still hopeful that her forever family is out there. 4/21 per volunteer: Somer was ready to get out of her kennel and head outside, I didn't have any issues with her walking through the kennels. She does pull pretty hard on the leash, so a harness to prevent pulling would be best. I took her right to a play yard to run out some of her energy and boy did she! She zoomed all through the large play yard from one end to the other. She wasn't interested in toys or treat she just wanted to run! She did start to get overwhelmed by the passing dogs and was jumping to the top of the fence. She unfortunately seems a bit stressed being back at the shelter. She is a beautiful pup and she is in great shape. She did eventually settle down and come over for some pets. She would really benefit from a quick exit. I had no issues returning her to her kennel. 4/18 per staff: In the room somer did a perimeter check and circled the room a few times, but then came over by me. She had a neutral body but when I called her over to me she trotted over and began to wag and have soft eyes. She leaned in while petting her and curled up against me. She was stress shedding frequently in the room but was very sweet with all handling. Took treats gently and showed knowledge of sit. 2/18 per foster: I wanted to report a fight and bite incident that happened while I was walking Somer this evening. As I've noted in my previous emails, Somer is dog reactive. To reduce the number of times she sees and could possibly react to other dogs, I only take her on walks after 9pm, when few people are out with their dogs in my neighborhood. I also keep her on a double lead with a front harness and a snug martingale collar to maintain control of her when she lunges. We were on our regular evening walk tonight around 10pm when I saw two men with two off-leash pitbull-type dogs (probably 40ish lbs each). The men and dogs were across the street and about half a block away. I shouted "She's reactive" and immediately turned and began walking the other direction, but looked over my shoulder to make sure they had control of their dogs - they didn't. The two dogs ran across the street and down the block and swarmed around Somer. I told them to get their dogs and tried to pull Somer out of the huddle of dogs, but the two off-leash dogs wouldn't separate from us. Within a few seconds, all three dogs went from stiff posture and high flagging tails to lunging, snarling, and biting. One dog bit Somer's face and the other was jumping up on her side. I managed to kick the jumping dog off and one of the men restrained that dog, however, the other dog had a grip on Somer's lip and she had managed to bite his lip as well. I tried kicking at the other dog, but he wouldn't release. The other man came to restrain his dog, but neither the other dog nor Somer would release their grips on each other. After probably 30 seconds, the other man and I managed to get both dogs to release. Once the dogs released, I immediately turned Somer away from the other dogs and began walking away. She looked back and pulled for a couple yards, but quickly calmed into pace with me and gave me her attention (we're working on "look" and getting attention in stimulating environments, so she's good at this). In the moment, I just wanted to get her to relax and get out of that situation. I didn't speak to the men or get any information from them. Behaviorally, she's fine so far. She's a sweet trooper and she's currently curled next to me in bed. She hasn't been especially clingy or alert, but it's only been a few hours. If you have any preemptive tips on helping her recover from this incident, let me know. Otherwise, I'll continue our routine as usual and let you know if there is any extreme escalation in reactivity or new behavioral concerns. In terms of my amateur assessment of this incident, I don't think that Somer's behavior caused or meaningfully contributed to the fight. She was on leash and at a distance where I should have been able to redirect her. We do see 2-3 dogs every night on our walk and we just take a turn or cross the street - sometimes she barks and throws a fit, but there's never any danger of escalation. She was restrained while two loose, unknown dogs rushed her with not-friendly body language, so I think many dogs would engage in some degree of fighting. I also wouldn't fault her for not letting go when she was being bit. Obviously, there are more preferable alternative reactions to this, but all things considered, I wouldn't say this is a highly concerning incident in terms of what it says about Somer's behavior and temperament. 12/4 per foster: I wanted to give you an update on Somer now that she has been with us for about 10 days. The overarching headline of the update is that she is sweeter and better than I could have imagined when I met her in the kennels, and, like all of us, she has some areas for growth. Other than the challenges described below, Somer is a dream dog. We've taken to calling her Somer because she has the silliest and cutest way of cuddling: she stands on the couch beside you, presses the top of her head into your lap and then slowly lifts her hind legs in what can only be described as a somersault until she is fully nestled into your lap, belly up (often with her hind end higher than her head). She is affectionate beyond belief, but she isn't clingy. She's happy to hang out by herself while we work, as long as we start and end the day with big snugs. She is a very confident and brave dog who approaches new things with curiosity and no fear or aggression. She's been a total sweetie for bath time, vacuuming, and even stuck her big head in the concave door of our washing machine to see what was making that sloshing sound! She's also very, very polite with food and understands that human food is for humans. In fact, she's very polite with all human things and she's not destructive or naughty at all. Rounding out her ever-unique personality, Cilantro/Somer isn't interested in most toys. Instead, her favorite things are towels, bubble wrap mailers, and her grooming goodies like the scrubby bath glove and her paw balm. Miss Somer is almost perfect, and she has all the potential to become an Good Dog. She just needs a person who is really dedicated to working with her on her growth areas, and I honestly couldn't imagine a better investment! She doesn't appear to have any obedience or leash training at all, nor does she seem socialized at all. The obedience isn't a problem because she's so well behaved in the house, and she's learning sit, stay, go to bed, and come very quickly. The leash training is definitely a challenge. Cilantro/Somer is very strong and she knows how to use all her power to pull. We've moved from the martingale collar to a freedom no-pull harness which offers better control of her body mass but doesn't seem to curb the pulling. She seems to be very scent motivated and her head barely picks up off the ground while we're walking. She is also extremely excitable and fixated on everything: people, blowing leaves, cars, bikes, squirrels, any noise at all from anywhere. Everything is very stimulating to her, and I am not having success at getting her attention with treats (including things like rotisserie chicken and lamb liver) or toys or squeakers. I am only taking her on one walking path in the hopes that her familiarity with the route will eventually make it boring, so that I can finally be interesting and get her attention with things like treats/toys/etc. So far, her pulling has subsided a tiny bit so long as there aren't any triggers (more on that later). I am cautiously optimistic about her leash training because she is so keen and overall well-tempered. To balance out our "boring" walks, I'm giving her puzzles at home like frozen kongs, knotted towels, "find it" nose work, and a treat-dispensing ball. I'm also working on clicker training her and we do drills with basic obedience commands. She is a good sport with these games and gets tired after 20-30 min, at which point she gives herself a rest by going to nap in her crate. She appears to be crate trained and really loves her little den. We haven't left her alone yet, but she's fine with the door closed when we're in the house but out of sight, so I expect she'll be good alone. We've taken her on a few short errands and she's good in the car and doesn't bark or monitor for us when left alone (less than 10 minutes, I promise!). The major issue we've encountered is that Cilantro/Somer is very dog reactive on leash. She lunges and hard barks with tail flagging and forward pricked ears. It's impossible to break her fixation, and she scrambles and yodels when you turn her or drag her to redirect. Once the other dog is out of sight, she stays hyperalert with high tail and pricked ears for about 5 minutes. When she's in that state, it's still impossible to break her fixation, and she pulls very hard. Since we don't have a back yard, this means that every potty break and walk can quickly turn into a very unpleasant event. I would really like to work with Cilantro/Somer on this because she deserves to live a big life where she gets to explore lots of places and isn't stifled by her reactivity. I also recognize that there must be some underlying fear or anxiety that's causing her to react this way, and I'd like her to be able to be her goofy, trusting, brave, and confident self in all situations. If there are any trainers/classes that you guys are connected with that could help us, I would love to be put in touch! 11/22 per volunteer: Somer was a super sweet and affectionate pup for me today! She allowed leashing super easily and pranced through the kennels to get outside. She was super playful in the play yard. She did little zoomies and then always ran back to me to lean against my legs. It's so cute! She loves to jump- when I was holding treats she got excited and jumped super high for them. Met several dog friends through the fence and she was so excited to see them, continuing to jump lol She allowed handling all over and allowed a staff member in adoptions to put a brand new collar on her. Such a sweet lady11/22 per staff: Somer was mellow in the room and well mannered. She wandered around exploring and would then come back over to us for attention. She would put her front paws up on our laps soliciting attention. She was tolerant of all handling and would lean against us. She was very gentle while out as well and had great manners. No interest in treats.Video:Somer (FKA Cilantro): https://youtube.com/shorts/6fdCwqh83zA?si=GfWIG_rTaWP0DqQcSnow Day https://youtu.be/SA8mn8P9M3ESquirrel Day https://youtube.com/shorts/U6Lieh7kz34Somer in the play yard: https://youtu.be/wP45mVpHi1o?si=FzTKBzIZiKdsuW_4 foster also did an instagram account for her, which includes a pic that shows just how big she is https://preview.redd.it/lcsm376nrgzc1.png?width=672&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b448ec560a040fb164e6e08822234155845f424 March $10 adoption special - no takers. https://preview.redd.it/qe745zbrrgzc1.png?width=1001&format=png&auto=webp&s=c34b29fa5db54199383e1ff1607ea9be46c55667 April freebie adoptions - no takers. https://preview.redd.it/znzsniznsgzc1.png?width=695&format=png&auto=webp&s=b348c10249a390e1e8f521c870fb610ee23079a4 My intense aggression toward other dogs is really just a longing for monogamy... https://preview.redd.it/dd3bzyoxrgzc1.png?width=1121&format=png&auto=webp&s=bed4a53183fc9940dcf128f1d5f413e8e6e0058c Foster griping on Instagram https://preview.redd.it/ywuz5986sgzc1.png?width=478&format=png&auto=webp&s=964e12cbb960b6da56b49a1792bf48594cc0de0f |
2024.05.09 17:26 Just_Throw_Me_Away12 I feel like I'm facing financial ruin.
Obviously using a throwaway for this.
First of all, let me be clear that this is a VENT about personal finances. It's against the sub rules to ask for money or provide money. And I know there are lots of good souls out there that love to help, but reality is the only thing that will get me out of this situation is time and diligence. So please just take this for what it is. I have no one to vent to about this mess and I need to get it off my chest.
I've kept a good and optimistic attitude throughout this whole situation. But today I'm in tears. It's all crashing down on me after a year of hanging in there.
I don't know if this is necessary financial ruin, but it feels like it. I grew up on the poorer side of middle class with parents who were terrible with money. It took me a long time to figure out how to get financially comfortable in life. A lot of mistakes were made and lessons were learned, but ultimately I was able to make a comfortable living alongside my husband for our family. It should be noted here that, though my husband made a good income too, I was definitely the breadwinner.
We had to move very suddenly for my husband's job back in 2021. It was very expensive, but that was fine, I utilized a credit card for the situation knowing I'd be able to pay it back down at a comfortable pace over the next year. I was in grad school and would graduate at the end of 2022, which would lead to a nicer paying job for sure. Welp, I became pregnant with our second child right at the end of my last semester. No big deal, I'll stay at the company I'm at for another year and work on some new skills before I start applying to new jobs. I loved the people I worked with anyway, despite it being a high stress job. Layoffs kept happening, but I had a good reputation in the company and had made a measurable impact during my time there. Until one day when it was finally my turn to go.
I had been there for 5 years. I had done so much for them. In the end, I was a name on a spreadsheet to a bunch of people at our parent company who barely touched our subsidiary company unless it had to do with increasing the bottom line. They didn't even know I was pregnant. They put me out on my ass in a wave of layoffs while I was 6 months pregnant. "NO ONE IS GOING TO HIRE ME!" I said frantically to the poor young HR girl on the phone explaining "what happens next". I managed to negotiate some additional severance, which in the end only delayed the financial bleeding we were about to experience. After a whirlwind of a week, I reset my attitude and got to work. I've never been one to accept defeat; I have to do everything within my power to keep us comfortable. One of the first things I did was call up one of my colleagues from another team that I worked closely with. A few months prior I had explained to him that I want to get some hand-on experience with a software that I enjoyed learning, and he told me about how he volunteers for this AWESOME nonprofit managing that software for them and he'd allow me to help so I could get experience that way. At the time I didn't have enough time to dedicate to it, but now that I was unemployed it was the perfect time. To this day I'm so so so glad I jumped on that opportunity when I did.
I knew no one was going to hire me, but I tried anyways. Something else to know about me is that I try to be as honest as possible. Honesty is an important core value to me. And so I was completely upfront about my condition when I began looking for work. I had a ton of friends and former colleagues eager and willing to help, but in the end no one could work with my situation. Understandable. I was told by a few of my friends/family that I was stupid for disclosing my pregnancy up front. I felt it was the right thing to do, and I didn't want to start off a working relationship with my new manager and/or company with a deceit that would impact everyone I was supposed to be working with. It just felt wrong, you know?
Eventually the opportunities within my personal network dried up. Meanwhile, I poured hours into my resume and job hunt. No responses. I had a great resume and great experience. I was willing to take a junior level job, and thought it might actually be best even though I was a director when I was laid off. Having a brand new baby and trying to learn a new job AND leading a team on top of all that? Sounded like it would be best for the team and my mental health if I could focus on being an individual contributor until life with the new baby settled down. I loved being in leadership, so I'm sure I'd work my way back up there. I applied to all levels of jobs though. Constantly. Every. Day. And all year it was radio silence. The competition was fierce. I wouldn't have minded a job that had me go into the office every day, but I live in an area with very few tech jobs so those opportunities were few and far between. By the end of my job hunt I only had 4 phone interviews, 1 first round video interview, and another with too many to count that I ultimately was rejected for.
We kept our oldest son in daycare so as not to disrupt his situation, plus it would be hard to get back in. Waitlists everywhere, you know the drill. We thought surely once the baby came that I'd land a job pretty quickly. This is one of my big regrets. I should have saved the money and pulled him out right away. It was shortly after the baby came, right after I was rejected from one of those interviews, that I finally lost hope and withdrew my oldest from daycare. Our savings was running out and unemployment paid pennies. Never thought I'd experience the SAHM life. It was honestly a good experience though, because I learned just how capable I was to adapting to the situation I didn't want. I even started to enjoy it, though I missed having a job. Let me tell you what though, we all know factually what a hard job it is to be a SAHM but it is definitely one of those things where you do not truly know until you experience it for yourself. During this time we're broke, but our spirits are still up. It probably helps that I'm taking medication for PPD (PSA: Don't skip it! Accept the help so you can enjoy your baby!!)
Anyways, moving on. In September was when the medical stuff began happening. My OB was suspicious that something was going on with my thyroid, so she sends me for an ultrasound, which leads to a biopsy, which they fucked up and had to redo again in February. While dealing with all this I begin looking for ways to bring in some extra income. DoorDash and other delivery options didn't feel doable or safe with 2 kids in tow. I decided to try sitting for Rover, which ended up being a fantastic idea since our own dog could use the extra company. It's still not enough though. All the things keep happening. Our cars both needing repairs - $1000s. Our dishwasher broke - $500. The baby has to go to physical therapy - $60 a week. Our older kid needs speech therapy - $65 a week. The list is endless. God there was so much shit that needed to be paid for when we didn't have the money to spend. Our savings are being eaten away.
Remember that volunteer opportunity I had helping a nonprofit with that software? Well, one day we were on a call with the managing director about a project we were doing for them, and she just happens to mention they're trying to hire someone for this admin role and really needed someone who understood the data side of things. There's no way they could afford what they truly needed. Long story short, I was signing the offer letter within a couple of weeks. It really is a lovely group of people to work with and they provide an AMAZING work/life balance. But the job pays less than half of what I made before, so we're not exactly comfortable yet. It's a small organization with barely any funds, but they still threw in a little extra on my salary AFTER I signed the offer letter. Genuinely good people trying to do their best. I started with the new year, and we got even luckier because one of the random daycares I had the boys on the waitlist for just happened to have space for them the same week I started my new job! "2024 is going to be an amazing year!" we kept saying. We were so pumped. It felt like 2023 was a cursed year and 2024 held all kinds of possibilities and excitement.
We're now on my husband's super shitty insurance, and the kids are getting sick. I try to avoid going to the doctor as much as I can, but they get ear infections so I couldn't just "let a fever run its course". Every visit eats away our savings even more. I start putting things on credit cards just to preserve some savings for a potential disaster. This continues and continues. I'm working my ass off trying to sell things, odd jobs, selling clothing at the flea market, taking whatever asshole dog we can babysit.
We finally get my results from my biopsy - cancer. Great. Now I have to get my thyroid removed, AND I have to take several weeks off from whatever I can do to bring in a meager extra income to recover. Not to mention, what's this going to cost?
And we arrive to the today day, where all of my credit cards are completely maxed out. We're no long able to afford the payments. We desperately need a new car. It's only a matter of time before this car craps out on it. I need a ton of dental work done (my teeth are on borrowed time). I've got a toothache, I absolutely need to get to the dentist, but there is no way to pay for this so I just have to cross my fingers and hope it goes away. I've got my surgery next week, and the hospital calls to explain what I need to pay. I have to pay at least half up front. If I didn't have 2 kids then I'd just put this off. But also if I didn't have 2 kids I'd probably be able to afford it.
I just spent all morning scrounging together every penny I could find to pay for this surgery. I'll have $40 in savings once I submit this payment. My stomach is in knots. I don't know what to do next. I think it's time to cash out my retirement. I feel incredibly sick to think about it. Do I take my kids out of daycare? They're in such a great learning and enriching environment that I can't provide while I'm working from home. My job will suffer trying to care for two kids too. We won't be thriving. Do I take my son out of speech therapy? It kills me to think of how this will cause delays in his learning. I want to give them the best chance at life. It's not like I'm trying to give them fancy things like montessori school, but I don't want them to be feral and ignored. I swear I've done and do the very best I can. It's not enough. How can I work so damn hard and it not be enough? What do I do now?! There's no safety net. There's no hero that can swoop in and fix it all. We don't qualify for any sort of assistance, government or other. We're just buried under a mountain of debt accumulated from being unemployed for almost a year and running out of savings. Do I start letting debt go to collections? The thought of doing that makes me sick too. I can't take a part time job. We have no family or anyone to help with the kids. My husband works long hours with a schedule that makes it impossible to work more than 1 day a week.
After cashing out my retirement, I think we have to sell this house. I haven't told my husband this part yet. He LOVES this house. I love this house. It's perfect for us and our family in every way. He comes from humble beginnings too, and I think he feels like owning this perfect house is a token of his success. He honestly deserves to feel that way because he has overcome so much, including getting sober, to accomplish what he has. And now my failure will cause us to lose it.
For anyone who read this, thanks for listening. I know it was long and rambling, but I don't have anyone to talk to about this. Even my husband doesn't quite grasp the gravity of our situation. I handle all of our finances because it's in my skillset and he hates dealing with it. I'm so alone.

First of all, let me be clear that this is a VENT about personal finances. It's against the sub rules to ask for money or provide money. And I know there are lots of good souls out there that love to help, but reality is the only thing that will get me out of this situation is time and diligence. So please just take this for what it is. I have no one to vent to about this mess and I need to get it off my chest.
I've kept a good and optimistic attitude throughout this whole situation. But today I'm in tears. It's all crashing down on me after a year of hanging in there.
I don't know if this is necessary financial ruin, but it feels like it. I grew up on the poorer side of middle class with parents who were terrible with money. It took me a long time to figure out how to get financially comfortable in life. A lot of mistakes were made and lessons were learned, but ultimately I was able to make a comfortable living alongside my husband for our family. It should be noted here that, though my husband made a good income too, I was definitely the breadwinner.
We had to move very suddenly for my husband's job back in 2021. It was very expensive, but that was fine, I utilized a credit card for the situation knowing I'd be able to pay it back down at a comfortable pace over the next year. I was in grad school and would graduate at the end of 2022, which would lead to a nicer paying job for sure. Welp, I became pregnant with our second child right at the end of my last semester. No big deal, I'll stay at the company I'm at for another year and work on some new skills before I start applying to new jobs. I loved the people I worked with anyway, despite it being a high stress job. Layoffs kept happening, but I had a good reputation in the company and had made a measurable impact during my time there. Until one day when it was finally my turn to go.
I had been there for 5 years. I had done so much for them. In the end, I was a name on a spreadsheet to a bunch of people at our parent company who barely touched our subsidiary company unless it had to do with increasing the bottom line. They didn't even know I was pregnant. They put me out on my ass in a wave of layoffs while I was 6 months pregnant. "NO ONE IS GOING TO HIRE ME!" I said frantically to the poor young HR girl on the phone explaining "what happens next". I managed to negotiate some additional severance, which in the end only delayed the financial bleeding we were about to experience. After a whirlwind of a week, I reset my attitude and got to work. I've never been one to accept defeat; I have to do everything within my power to keep us comfortable. One of the first things I did was call up one of my colleagues from another team that I worked closely with. A few months prior I had explained to him that I want to get some hand-on experience with a software that I enjoyed learning, and he told me about how he volunteers for this AWESOME nonprofit managing that software for them and he'd allow me to help so I could get experience that way. At the time I didn't have enough time to dedicate to it, but now that I was unemployed it was the perfect time. To this day I'm so so so glad I jumped on that opportunity when I did.
I knew no one was going to hire me, but I tried anyways. Something else to know about me is that I try to be as honest as possible. Honesty is an important core value to me. And so I was completely upfront about my condition when I began looking for work. I had a ton of friends and former colleagues eager and willing to help, but in the end no one could work with my situation. Understandable. I was told by a few of my friends/family that I was stupid for disclosing my pregnancy up front. I felt it was the right thing to do, and I didn't want to start off a working relationship with my new manager and/or company with a deceit that would impact everyone I was supposed to be working with. It just felt wrong, you know?
Eventually the opportunities within my personal network dried up. Meanwhile, I poured hours into my resume and job hunt. No responses. I had a great resume and great experience. I was willing to take a junior level job, and thought it might actually be best even though I was a director when I was laid off. Having a brand new baby and trying to learn a new job AND leading a team on top of all that? Sounded like it would be best for the team and my mental health if I could focus on being an individual contributor until life with the new baby settled down. I loved being in leadership, so I'm sure I'd work my way back up there. I applied to all levels of jobs though. Constantly. Every. Day. And all year it was radio silence. The competition was fierce. I wouldn't have minded a job that had me go into the office every day, but I live in an area with very few tech jobs so those opportunities were few and far between. By the end of my job hunt I only had 4 phone interviews, 1 first round video interview, and another with too many to count that I ultimately was rejected for.
We kept our oldest son in daycare so as not to disrupt his situation, plus it would be hard to get back in. Waitlists everywhere, you know the drill. We thought surely once the baby came that I'd land a job pretty quickly. This is one of my big regrets. I should have saved the money and pulled him out right away. It was shortly after the baby came, right after I was rejected from one of those interviews, that I finally lost hope and withdrew my oldest from daycare. Our savings was running out and unemployment paid pennies. Never thought I'd experience the SAHM life. It was honestly a good experience though, because I learned just how capable I was to adapting to the situation I didn't want. I even started to enjoy it, though I missed having a job. Let me tell you what though, we all know factually what a hard job it is to be a SAHM but it is definitely one of those things where you do not truly know until you experience it for yourself. During this time we're broke, but our spirits are still up. It probably helps that I'm taking medication for PPD (PSA: Don't skip it! Accept the help so you can enjoy your baby!!)
Anyways, moving on. In September was when the medical stuff began happening. My OB was suspicious that something was going on with my thyroid, so she sends me for an ultrasound, which leads to a biopsy, which they fucked up and had to redo again in February. While dealing with all this I begin looking for ways to bring in some extra income. DoorDash and other delivery options didn't feel doable or safe with 2 kids in tow. I decided to try sitting for Rover, which ended up being a fantastic idea since our own dog could use the extra company. It's still not enough though. All the things keep happening. Our cars both needing repairs - $1000s. Our dishwasher broke - $500. The baby has to go to physical therapy - $60 a week. Our older kid needs speech therapy - $65 a week. The list is endless. God there was so much shit that needed to be paid for when we didn't have the money to spend. Our savings are being eaten away.
Remember that volunteer opportunity I had helping a nonprofit with that software? Well, one day we were on a call with the managing director about a project we were doing for them, and she just happens to mention they're trying to hire someone for this admin role and really needed someone who understood the data side of things. There's no way they could afford what they truly needed. Long story short, I was signing the offer letter within a couple of weeks. It really is a lovely group of people to work with and they provide an AMAZING work/life balance. But the job pays less than half of what I made before, so we're not exactly comfortable yet. It's a small organization with barely any funds, but they still threw in a little extra on my salary AFTER I signed the offer letter. Genuinely good people trying to do their best.

2024.05.09 10:15 frank5233 How one depressed girl's potential suicide brought down Japan’s biggest vtuber company
I. Context
Many a years ago, before there was Nijisanji, before there was Hololive. Upd8 was formed and debuted the first ever virtual youtuber - Kizuna Ai in 2016. Her popularity skyrocketed, she was known not just in Japan but all over the world. To this day, she still is one of the world’s most subcribed youtuber. Her contents were translated accrossed 20+ languages and submitted directly onto her channel as community subtitles (which youtube got rid of recently)
From then on Upd8 only grew stronger, in 2018 they received $5 millions in funding, then also were able to leverage another $10 million using Kizuna Ai name in 2020
In 2019, it was reported that their 2nd biggest vtuber, Oda Nobuhime, brought in $700k dollars in revenue a year, it was unknown how much money Kizuna Ai made, but she was far far more popular than Nobuhime. Safe to assume in 2019, upd8 revenue were in the millions. Something that Hololive/Nijisanji only managed (or still not have) to catch up to 5 years after in 2024.
Upd8 partnered with 774 inc., while the IP belongs to 774 inc., upd8 and 774 inc together released 12 vtubers. Upd8 also partnered with Cover corp/Hololive to create INNK music, the branch which owned AZki and later on Suisei. With the rise in popularity of YuNi, Omega Sister, Nobuhime, Suou Patra, Inaba Haneru, etc.. outside of Kizuna Ai. Upd8 became the dream company that every vtuber wanted to be in. By the end of 2019 there were 50 vtubers under their wings (including a certain dog girl).
II. The girl’s story
It’s no secret that Oda Nobuhime reincarnated as Omaru Polka of Hololive in 2020. But much was unknown about her history or why she left upd8 to the english world. Except for this one youtube historian, who detailed Upd8 mistreatment of Nobuhime:
With this long history of depression at hands, coupled with upd8’s mismanagement and mental terrorism. It is with a high possibility that she might have made an attempt on her life.
III. The colleagues:
NijisanjiEN mistreated their #2 biggest vtuber, their other talents joked about “making an attempt”, went completely silent, backing up the company, the black streams, etc. The branch is facing danger of folding.

it was revealed that her management team had a lot of control over her content and personal relationships. It isn't that she wasn't interested in making her old style of content, do song covers, or even play Minecraft, but it wasn't allowed by her management team. There was also someone else in control of her twitter account, and sent hateful messages to Tamaki to "break" their relationship. The management also forced Nobuhime to announce her retirement right before Tamaki's new 3D model stream as a way to punish Nobuhime.These are much similar to that of Selen’s story today. But there are 2 big differences: Nobuhime as a person have always struggled with depression and she had even been abused by her previous company before joining upd8. Everyone should have known about Ever Blue at this point, the most depressed song Hololive has ever produced, but if you do not known, Polka uses her membership stream as a way to vent and share her depression and struggles with her community. Before upd8 she was the uitaite mega, who was part of another company, which forced her to produce hentai ASMR and even to appear IRL on TV. After she left said company, she was able to keep her youtube channel and her NND channel, but her twitter was taken over by the CEO.
With this long history of depression at hands, coupled with upd8’s mismanagement and mental terrorism. It is with a high possibility that she might have made an attempt on her life.
III. The colleagues:
- on the same day that Nobuhime graduated (April 30, 2020), 774 inc. severed ties with upd8, all 9 remaining members will no longer be part of upd8 (3 graduated at this point)
- a week after Nobuhime graduation announcement. On April 24, 2020, Kizuna Ai announced her depature from upd8 and form Kizuna Ai inc. (a company still part of activ8 but with completely different managment), she also brought along her clones, which were later given the name of Aipii and Love-chan.
- YuNi ran down her contract and leave upd8 4 months later on August 2020
- There were actually a lot who stayed, but they might have not been close enough to Nobuhime to know of her story. Please don’t blame vtubers like Shibuya Hal for this.
- With their biggest names leaving. Upd8 folded and filed for bankruptcy 6 months later in November 1st, 2020
- Years later Nobuhime remained friends with her upd8 colleagues, they had a mini reunion in 2022 , Tomari Mari also visited Polka in a totsumachi recently.
NijisanjiEN mistreated their #2 biggest vtuber, their other talents joked about “making an attempt”, went completely silent, backing up the company, the black streams, etc. The branch is facing danger of folding.
2024.05.08 22:29 RealityRush People be sleepin' on Alvaro de Bazan
So I spent part of yesterday trying to figure out if I should use my coal/steel to get Moskva or Alvaro de Bazan. It was a hell of a problem researching the latter because there are almost no videos from people playing her and very little textual information either. I ended up settling on Alvaro because I already have Stalin/Petro and Moskva feels like it overlaps too much, plus Zorkiy's gimmick on a T10 ship that doesn't lose me credits most of the time seemed fun! And I gotta say, I'm pretty surprised I don't see more of this ship. I get that on release she was fairly average, but she's had quite a few buffs since then, and I think she deserves another gander by people.
When I was looking at the numbers for her myself pre-purchase, I noticed that with the constant buffs to her reload and reduction in Burst cooldown time, she now has roughly the same HE DPM as a Zorkiy and slightly more Burst Fire alpha (Zorkiy is the Russian supership, if people weren't aware), but with a ~20 second shorter cooldown on that Burst Fire. She's certainly a tad slower than Zorkiy (40 vs 43knts base), she certainly has weaker armour and no heal, but she does get IJN smoke and substantially better concealment (6.2km) and a big chunk more total health (same as Ragnar). Her HE salvo alpha is nasty too, higher than Marceau, higher than Zorkiy, literally only beaten by Kleber.
The absolute joy of being able to Burst Fire a DD for 10-15k health and then immediately duck behind an island, then pop out again 20 seconds later and do it again, is just fantastic. It's really funny to see proper gunbotes that assume they should be able to crush you have to deal with it. And the torps... the torps! At first I thought they'd be dog water with their 56 knot speed, but then I realized they only have 1.1km detect... stock Alvaro torps with no buffs are one of the lowest reaction time standard torps in the game. So they are sea mines, kinda like Black's, but they are even more of a pain in the ass to dodge and actually felt fairly easy to land consistently, especially with their baked in 13.5km range and relatively low cooldown (90 sec iirc?). Literally my only complaint with Alvaro is that her turret traverse needs to be improved imo. They should knock 4-5 seconds off the base traversal time and I think she'd be in a perfect spot. Not too strong, not too weak, just a very versatile and fun all-rounder.
I don't even have a 21 point Spanish Commander, I think my highest is 14 that I'm using on Alvaro, but once I get the full 21 points I think she's going to become one of my favourite DDs, if she isn't already. I can only hope that if we get a line of Spanish DDs from WeeGee that they are as nice of a package as Alvaro has become after her buffs. I need more Burst Fire DDs in my life, and a Tech Tree line of them would be absolutely wonderful. And a Legendary Spanish commander to go with them!
I think if you're a DD main with spare coal and want a novel experience that isn't locked behind a supership, you shoud give Alvaro a chance. If you already own her and thought she was "meh" at her release, I implore you to try her again with the buffs she's gotten. I don't think you'll be disappointed :)
P.S. WeeGee please reduce Alvaro's turret traversal time by 4-5 sec, plz thnx <3

2024.05.08 20:04 secret-account-name DAE relate to those documentaries about feral children?
I understand others stories might not be the same but im curious if any of you relate anyway
As a child, my parents werent around. when they were, they didnt pay attention to me and everyone always treat me like an outsider or an animal
My dad once told me about the family hierarchy and that i was the last next to the dog
I spent most of my days alone and out in the garden or in the countryside, i spent more time with my dog and the animals and bugs in the garden than i did with people. i had complete reign over my house and would rarely walk like a person, i had adhd and was extremely understimulated so i was always climbing on everything and didnt see the point in walking on two feet if no one was around. I was always doing physical activities because i had nothing else to do. I was always struggling and basically "hunting" for food, soap, stimulation, education and human contact. Outside of my school clothes, I was always in my underwear or naked because all my clothes were too small or dirty and my blanket eventually got so worn that it was just a knot of string and i was often cold.
I always struggled with my balance because i was clumsy and i guess never learned how to walk properly, i can climb and run and move better like an animal than i can trying walk like a person. There was alot more to the abuse and neglect but ultimately I was abandoned by the school system early on because of my adhd and am trying to domesticate myself still. God bless the unsupervised but limited tv i got and later the unsupervised internet or i would never have survived i dont think.
