how do you think Robotnik would act if someone had somehow managed to capture Stone?

Well, he seems a bit angry

Stan and Ford never stop playing the game of tag they started when they were still little kids.

So what if Stan got kicked out and Ford doesn’t want to see him anymore? 

He can still sneak into Ford’s dorm at night, tap him and leave a post-it note on his face saying “Tag, you’re it!”

So what if Stan is currently staying in Colombian prison? 

Ford can still break in during spring break and tag Stan before escaping. Stan escaping in the process was an unintended consequence.

Ford gives a big speech at his graduation?

Well, perfect opportunity to tag him while he’s distracted. The proud tears in Stan's eyes are just for show so he fits in better with the crowd.

Stan gets captured and trapped in a trunk?

What better way to tag him than when he’s all tied up. Helping him to a safe place, tending to his wounds and watching over him while he sleeps is just a way to keep the game fair. And Ford dropping his new home adress before he leaves? Purely an accident.

Stan arrives in Gravity Falls, but doesn’t immediately tag Ford. He claims he’s waiting for a good opportunity. Ford responds that he’ll just have to keep a close eye on Stan in the meantime.

It takes a long long time for Stan to finally tag Ford again, but when he does, he escapes no further than his room in the Shack.

day 12 || underrated trio in my humble opinion (just lineart under the cut cuz im stuck on which to post)

[maddieandangel]

Consider: character-exclusive trinkets.

[cautionwetfloor-png]

no contact au comic bc now im invested in it. a LOT more thoughts in the tags. also proship kys this isnt for you

first post about it

[zanysmurf]

i love smurfs 1981 fans who have never let go of the smurfs who appeared in one or a handful of episodes. whenever i see sloppy included in anything fanmade i cheer. and all he did was get dirty and own a fly

[here-there-be-drag0ns]

Reading Superboy 1994 has me pacing my room and chewing drywall oh my GOD i love him hes everything to me hes such a loser hes so sweet and empathetic hes a gross teenage boy hes forced to grow up too fast hes only six months old he wants to be a hero hes only allowed to really be a hero insofar as it benefits Rex and Tana shit keeps happening that is NOT his fault and he blames himself anyway im INSANE

some monsters 😌 (lore under the cut)

Both of these guys are Guts monsters pulled through Raptor - Guts are typically green and the fusion of two or more animals/objects.

The holes in the stomachs of the generals act as portals between the two dimensions. Stronger monsters like these two have to be pulled through a generals portal to enter our dimension at full strength. passing through the veil themselves leaves them significantly weakened

TakeOut - the "national route griffin". The fused corpses of a roadkill roo and a scavenging wedge-tail. Clipped and mangled by a passing truck, TakeOut runs through its targets with the same amount of force. The solar panel on its back gives it an electric edge

EatDirt - a lingering sorrow fuels this fusion of an echidna and the tire that killed it. He keeps digging up the roads but he seems real sad about it.

Has anyone tried to bring the cure for Antonia or the bottle of La Bleiwies wine into the DLC, by any chance? I'm willing to bet neither of them do anything, but I had neither of these items on any of my DLC-ready profiles so I wasn't able to debunk the idea for myself yet 🧐

IT ARRIVED

[infaethible]

[wyrddogs]

Took the boys to a new location for tracking this morning-- well, it's not a new location to us, but it is a new place for us to be tracking. I had previously suggested this to an AKC tracking club I'm in as a place to hold a TD/TDX, but they said no. Something about the grass being too short? I'm annoyed at training at my usual place because everyone and their mother is there prepping for the upcoming tests so it ends up being like a bus stop where you wait your turn and have to carefully plan out your tracks around other peoples'.

So I came here and while I was laying my first track, an older couple out walking their GSD stopped me and asked, "Oh, are you tracking? We do IPO tracking! We train out here all the time!" Vindicated!

Kermit's first track was 100 feet, right turn, 100 feet, for a total of 200. He wasn't troubled by the shorter grass and was his usual enthusiastic self. It was quite wet at the time, which helped hold the scent. I put him up for an hour to run Zaku, then did his next two tracks.

Second track was a total of 700 feet-- 70 feet, right turn, 75 feet, right turn, 70 feet, left turn, 200 feet, left turn, 80 feet, right turn, 100 feet, jackpot, 45 feet, right turn, 60 feet, glove. The short grass, grooves from the lawnmower, and grass clumps from the lawnmower was definitely challenging on this track, in addition to the dew having dried up. He did nearly the entire track at a walk and had to take a mental break at one point to critter, but his work ethic is fantastic. At no point did he act overwhelmed or like he wanted to quit. The jackpot is such a great idea, too. Once he's finished eating it, he's raring to go.

Third track was 50 feet and I meant for it to be easy-peasy but accidentally made it Extremely challenging by putting it in loose cut grass. D'oh! I'm so sorry, Kermie. Your partner failed you there. He did work very hard and with verbal encouragement he was able to finish.

He was Very tired at the end of his tracks and I made much of him and told him how amazing he is. He agrees.

Zaku did two tracks and uh, well. We've had better. XD Part of the problem is I put his tracks in the field we normally do lure coursing on. So he had to take a moment to run around on the line, looking for the lure (and squirrels, and cats, and birds, and dogwalkers) before he got to work. Both times.

First track was 50 feet, right turn, 50 feet, breakfast. He did get very excited to see the flag, so he seems to be enjoying this now. I do admit that sometimes I have a hard time telling the difference between "hurling himself forward with all of his strength, not quite on the track because the scent has blown off" and "hurling himself forward with all of his strength, not quite on the track because WHEEEEE brain is off". So sometimes I stop him and tell him to focus, and his reaction tells me he was actually working and now he's going to fuck around because I broke his concentration. Hopefully the seminar in February is able to help me out here.

Once Zaku actually gets to work (which can take... several minutes...) he is like a freight train. Pulling powerfully at a jog while I fly like a kite behind him. I think that once I figure out how to a) read him, and b) keep him focused on the task, he'll be hell on wheels.

🏃‍➡️🦩 До Міжнародного дня фламінго українець «набігав» образ птаха. Всеволод Севастьянов здійснив символічний забіг доріжками Київського зоопарка в рамках флешмобу #CreativeRunDvizh.

Він пробіг 3,18 км, створивши GPS-малюнок фламінго. У соцмережах GPS-малюнок набув популярності, а користувачі в коментарях назвали акцію «біговим мистецтвом» і «натхненням у рожевих пір’їнах».

День фламінго відзначається щорічно 26 квітня задля привернення уваги до збереження біорізноманіття та підтри��ки природоохоронних ініціатив.
