What’s your thoughts on wui hei quan dogs?

This response is going to derail.

My thoughts about any and all non-western breeds are that English (or Norwegian, which are inevitably translated from English) sources are rubbish, and the current media environment makes it near-impossible to search for anything.

This isn't new. This is western dog fancy.

My search engines will organize my location-based results over the things i actually write in the search field. My English-language and Latin-alphabet search results will inevitably land me search results in English.

Which means that from my scope, the wui hei quan dog could be anything from a fabricated tiktok trend featuring a black "chow" puppy to a genuine heavily pigmented regional breed of Chinese farmdog ("garden dog" but I've been around this translation block before, i c u). I'm tempted to lean toward the latter, just because the google search results want me to exchange "wui hei quan dog" for "xiasi dog," and the regions those are supposed to originate from are some minor fifteen travel hours apart. Which is a little bit like exchanging a Norwegian buhund for a German schnauzer. A household/farmdog from comparable regions. Right?

We run into this problem pretty often. You've got your chows and your shar peis, but otherwise, not-noble breeds are easily overlooked. Pekingese were "stolen" from the aristocracy so they're novel, our knowledge of Japanese breeds curiously spikes after WW2. You can throw a racism argument and I agree, but let's add a class card as well. How many regional Chinese ratters do FCI recognize?

Our knowledge of dogs is limited by access, language, and curiosity. We have access, arguably, and to an extent we can overcome language barriers. But I'm not sure we're curious enough.

In short, I've got zero to no thoughts about the wui hei quan dog or wuyishan black dog, because I know nothing about it. I would love to have more thoughts. I'd love to hear about regional asian dog breeds and their quirks and their qualms and politics.

whats YOUR thoughts on the wui hei quan dogs?

pls tell me

Can we see the eye?

Sorry if that's too personal

sorry, but i wont post a picture of my eye !! mostly cause it looked gnarly as hell and i dont want someone to accidentally flash themself with that on my page

but you can get the idea of it googling corneal abrasion if you are up to see it, i basically had an open gash on my cornea right above my pupil, very lucky to have missed the pupil and that it wasnt deep enough to cut the actual iris

its fully healed now tho!! it didnt take long at all and i think i escaped any long term effects or infection, very lucky (maybe i am milking it at this point /lh sorry i reply to asks so late gah)

anyway be fucking careful around aloe veras pointing straight at u so you cant see it bc the angle of it makes it almost fucking invisible to you, the ends of those leaves are fucking needles

if you're really curious i doodled this to give you the idea of size and placement LMAO:

it was a bit more open but the lines are rly thick on the drawing sorry. also my entire eye was red as fuck

[sheriffthompson]

as much as i dont care that they brought tord back for $$$$ and all, they could uh. they could be less blatant about it. they could also Tell Us Something other than constant merch drops. like how animation progress is going, how theyre building up to tords return, just SOMETHING. i cannot stand this no communication bs esp when theyre actively making merch but wont give us a crumb of progress or how its lookin for The Show Itself.

Maybe I’m just a boomer or a hater, but something about getting comments on ao3 which are just a subtle advertisement for fanart commissions just really rubs me the wrong way.

Like, I understand that people making art for a living have to grind, and part of that can be having to cold call, but the idea of doing that in the ao3 comment section?

Especially bc (at least the ones I’ve gotten) have started just as a really nice thoughtful comment. When you think about it, those really nice comments are HOW fanfic writers get paid essentially. There’s no real legal way to make money writing fic, BUT of course that isn’t the deal for fanart.

So coming into my comments essentially going, “here, I paid you in your preferred currency: heartfelt feedback. Now will you come pay me in mine: several hundred dollars.” Can kinda turn the whole thing sour.

Obviously I’m never gonna be mean to someone in my comment section, but it really is kind of a bummer to get to the end of what seems like just a really nice comment just to realize “oh, they wrote it so I’ll consider giving them money:/.”

came out to my oldest sister tonight 🥴

[fairyroses]

requested by @lexkent: the scene in "Shattered" where Lana sees Lex on the ground in the stable sitting curled into himself, and she looks anguished to see him in such a state, and she's so kind and compassionate to him

+ bonus Lana, after literally almost dying:

Your Narrator design reminds me of a father figure in some ways, maybe is the body for him (/pos)

Reminds me of my own father, I'll gladly hug your Narrator and never let go XD

friendly relationships should be easier to navigate as a dumbass schizo tranny but asking for that kind of accomodation is almost always too much unless we’re dating apparently.

[timetravelstudies]

GOD I LOVE people and humans beings and such. Yeah❤️

[luv-again]

hopefully this full moon bullshit ends soon so I can go back to being comfortable with my aloof disposition and total detachment from human life instead of being overly upset that 'I don't have close friends anymore/at all' and 'wah wah wah I'm severely, unhealthily lonely'

[doostyauditalkz]

I think she. Probably wanted to strangle him. Hearing that
