#back to the basics baybee

[archivesweats]

I’ve been into making my own planners this year. I buy journals for my journaling/writing, but I wanted something low profile to just log my days (stay aware of time passing/what I’m doing on the daily) and put my little notes and to-do lists. A couple weeks ago I finished a 4month planner I had made, and started with a different layout. Ultimately I scrapped it because It was a bit clunky and didn’t fit in my system nicely. It also didn’t have room for my miscellaneous lists and notes.

After playing around with some layout ideas, I came to the conclusion that I could use pocket notebooks as monthly or bimonthly planners, but for some godforsaken reason I decided it would be better if I made them myself instead of buying them. It’s a lot of work so I might end up buying them in the future, but I am a bit picky about my grids.

So these are 48 pages of ~5mm grids, with slightly darker lines to create top and left side margins for my monthly layouts.

First layout is just a monthly event overview. I haven’t done a heading/decorated yet bear with me lol

Second is monthly habit tracking (pictures pre-backfilling)

A page to track plant care (my info is very limited so far this month bc my last log book didn’t have enough space for it) // I put in a page to track what music I’m listening to, but it might become just a general media page idk.

Days aren’t pre-written, so my to do lists and grocery lists etc. just come up when they are relevant

I've got maybe one more round of packing (basically just the stuff that I'm actively using between now and tomorrow, computer and things) before I give up and leave the rest in God's* hands because I'm exhausted in ways I don't think any abled-body person can really appreciate

my dream buddy + nct wish

pairings: idol!nct wish x fem!idol!reader

warnings: babies (?), fluffy, mentions of food

wc: 1.5k

note: very heavily inspired by my dream buddy on youtube!! i watched the episodes with taesan, tws, and ateez and OMGG they are so KAYOOT!! it's basically where idols play with this baby named bom and try to put her to sleep at the end of the episode.

oh sion

"rookie idols and rookie babysitters!"

this man is ECSTATIC

he looks happier when you enter the room than when bom enters

"HELLOO Y/N-NIM!! oh hi bomi :)"

safe to say, you two suck at this ngl

bom starts crying right away and then you're both like BAYBEE CRYING BAYBEE CRYING WHAT DO WE DO

you take it upon you to pick her up and start patting her back

sion makes funny faces at her and she calms down eventually

when it's time to make food for bom, you and sion are carefully rolling the mixed rice into little balls for her

"your rice balls are so messy, make them neater!" you tease

"they taste the same aNYWAY"

he sneaks a piece into his mouth and is like "MM this actually tastes good!"

"sion, this is for the baby," you say with a laugh

"i know, just making sure it's nice and tasty for her!"

when you're feeding her, you do the little airplane method and sion makes annoying ass sound effects

"here comes the airplane, bom-i!"

"VVRRRROOOOOOMMMMMM!"

"SION."

"VVVOROROOROROMMM-"

you lightly smack sion and bom giggles

"see! she laughed!!!"

"at YOU."

a clip of you two goes viral on twitter where you two are smiling at bom while she's sleeping

@iloveohsion: these two are like young parents kkk they have no idea what they're doing

@wonbinslefttoe: sion and y/n are geeked outtt 😭

@btsarmy979: IM CRYINGG WHO LET THESE IDIOTS ON THE SHOW???

@mintgreenyeti: they're so stupidly cute together we need more sioy/n content!! 🤗

maeda riku

"two babysitters OR two babies, one babysitter?"

riku has two older sisters and he's used to being the youngest of the family

so it's no surprise that when you two are asked to go on the show together, it's basically you taking care of both bom AND riku

the two are playing together with bom's dinosaur toys

"rawwwrrr! i'm gonna get you-"

"riku-chan! can you help me clean up the toys please?"

"RAAAWWRRR! GRAAAH!!"

"i guess i'll do it myself then."

"no- wait i'll help you y/n!"

and when it's time to feed bom her lunch, you have to feed riku too

"bom-i say aahhh!"

"aaahh!"

"not you, riku."

he does eventually help you, cleaning up her plate

"you're a great babysitter, y/n-san." :-)

"that's very sweet of you, riku."

when you two have to put bom to sleep, she's so tired she falls asleep in literally 5 minutes

even bom's mom is surprised

so now u and riku are SPENT and lay down on the floor, falling asleep as well.

the staff have to shake you awake and tell you to go home 😭

at the end of the episode, a clip of you and riku snoring is shown and it's the most replayed part of the video (embarrassingly enough)

@pensaya: 21 minutes of y/n babysitting bom AND riku-chan

@kaiwaitonme: bom is TIRED of their bs I CANTT

@byuneuijoosgf: AWWW them falling asleep together on the floor after putting bom to sleep is so cute :') i love my riky/n!!

@pompompurin27: so is no one gonna talk about how riku was eating bom's food like it was his

tokuno yushi

"the most loving babysitters in the world! so soft even we were getting sleepy"

you and yushi are polar opposites

he's shy, you're far from that

he's soft spoken, and your "whisper" is the volume of his scream

so of COURSE your companies put you two together for this ep

your manager thought it was a horrible idea, but little does he know that opposites attract and that everyone would LOVE u two

the babysitting went by smoothly, with you playing with bom while yushi makes her lunch with careful hands

"bom, where's your nose? say noooseee!"

"y/n, would you like to taste test?"

"oh YES PLEASE!!'

you get up with bom in your arms and head to the kitchen where yushi is

"here you go." he holds up the rice ball near ur mouth

"yushi-kun, i can't grab it, i'm holding bom."

"..." he silently feeds you as you're trying so hard not to laugh

"stop laughing." "i'm not!!" "yes you are."

when it's time to put bom to sleep, you and yushi sing her a lullaby

your voices melt together so perfectly even the staff are getting sleepy

once the episode is over and you two are cleaning, you shoot your shot

"yushi-kun we did so good! we should go celebrate with some boba. whaddya say?"

"sounds good to me. :-)"

the two of you post a selfie at the boba shop and everyone FREAKS OUTTTT

@yushisupperlip: their voices sound SO GOOD together??? no joke i started feeling drowsy when they were singing to bom

@feelinggopop: this episode was so domestic 🥹 it's like they're an actual family! thank u 4 healing us yushy/n!! <3

@chaewonsgirl: the BEST example of yapper wife and listener husband fr

@ih8geometry: mama y papa. y/n and yushi adopt me pls

kim jaehee

"the smiliest babysitters that make themselves laugh more than bom"

not to brag but.... you and jaehee are literally the funniest babysitters ever

from the moment you walked in, you two were already cracking jokes

"y/n-nim have you ever babysitted anyone before?" jaehee asks

"mmm yeah i've looked over miso before."

"miso? who names their kid miso?"

"miso, my cat."

and for some reason neither of you want to set up her lunch box so you argue over it

"jaehee, i'm carrying bom. go set it up."

"but I'M entertaining her!!"

"KIM JAEHEE."

"Y/N L/N."

(you two set it up together as a compromise.)

when it's time to put her to sleep, he pulls out the xylophone and plays a song

"you are too good at this."

"why thank you :)"

you and jaehee sing stupid nursery rhyme songs to put bom to sleep and it works very well!

"i had fun today y/n-nim!" he says as you guys clean up

"so did i!" you smile

"we should hang out sometime."

"or now.." you grin

"i'm not opposed to that."

jaehee posts to his bubble a couple hours later with a pic of you and him at a convenience store

"had an amazing time today :-)"

@ilovecoachbags: BYE not them bringing the ijbol king and queen to the show 😭

@zb1wakeone: WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING LIKE A MARRIED COUPLE IM CTFUUUU

@imsosleepy3: jaehee what is this behavior??? asking y/n to hang out???? can we possibly get another jaey/n selca????

@lokijeonghan: i know the staff had the best time today they were CACKLING behind those cameras

hirose ryo

“the maltese babysitter’s patience is tested”

now who the hellyonte decided it’d be a good idea to put u and ryo in the same room

you are literally the troublemaker of ur group, so best believe ur going to be a menace to the poor man

you’ll just sit there as ryo tends to bom, struggling because she's crying

“y/n-san, can you help me please?”

“with what? you seem like you’re doing perfectly fine”

“PLEASE HELP ME.” you laugh and take bom from his arms

and when you’re feeding bom snacks, he tries to feed her a piece but you snatch it and a take a bite instead

ryo looks at you like 😀 before you burst into laughter and he joins you

"it seems that you're hungry, y/n-" ryo's laugh is getting louder by the second

"i didn't have breakfast before i came"

you offer to put bom to sleep instead since u felt bad for teasing him this whole time

“are you sure?”

“yes, ryo-kun. i’ve caused enough trouble for you today” you say with a chuckle

“no you didn’t, i was having fun” he says while pouting and u resist the urge to pinch his cheek

HES SO KAYOOT

and when bom falls asleep you and ryo take a selfie doing the puppy ears pose and it goes VIRAL

@backon7444: ryo can't catch a break, if it's not sion teasing him it's y/n AXSDGKJ

@sabcarpenter99: y/n really got ryo hooting and hollering 😭😭

@rikushakes: AAAA THEM FEEDING BOM SO CUTE!! my ryoy/n pls never go bald!! <3333

@topofthewworld: their selca is giving me cuteness aggression

fujinaga sakuya

"warning! this video will give you cuteness aggression"

you and sakuya are the vocabulary definition of kawaiimaxxing

when you two arrive to the set you're both in cutesy outfits and the staff jokes that you two are cuter than bom LOL

surprisingly, you two took good care of bom

sakuya's the oldest sibling in his family so he's used to it

bom is so giggly and cheery it's so cute

"i think she thinks we're her age." you say with a chuckle

"we probably should have worn different outfits," saku jokes

you two give bom a full on LECTURE about her dino toys

"bom, can you say spinosaurus?" sakuya says

"she obviously can't say that yet. bom, can you say pterodactyl?"

the two of you are cackling

when it's time to feed bom, you and sakuya just watch her eat and snatch some of her snacks when she's not looking

and then u look at each other like 🤨🤨🤨 did u just steal this baby's food

bom takes a while to fall asleep because she was so energetic that day

you and saku are BEGGING her to fall asleep at this point

"bom PLEASEEE, we're trying to go home" sakuya pleads

"at least pretend to close your eyes" you add

and when she does, you two are so fed up you go out to get hotpot after, posting a selfie with the caption "babysitting shift over"

@mybubblegummy: no offense bom but ur babysitters are so much more adorable !!!! sakuy/n 4 lyfe!!

@ihavecrampskms: WAITT... i NEED both of their outfit details NEOWWW

[chasholidays]

we're back baybee

Hello friends! After a few years' hiatus, I'm going to once again take prompts for holiday fills. If you're new here, here's how it works.

You and some number of other people fill out THIS GOOGLE FORM

I receive all the responses and close the form on OCTOBER 4 2024 AT 8 AM EASTERN TIME

I use a variety of methods (personal bias, random number generator, chicken innards, etc) to pick from the submitted prompts and get a selection that I feel confident I can complete

On December 1, I will start posting! The fills we be posted by @chasholidays on tumblr and also uploaded to AO3

My planned posting schedule is that I will post TWO fics each weekend day (eighteen fics total) and ONE fic per weekday (twenty-two fics total) for a total of FORTY FICS over the month of December. Depending on how I'm feeling and how many prompts I get, I might decide to do more! But I'm going to commit to 40 minimum and go from there.

For many reasons, I'm not planning to tell people in advance if their fics have been selected or not. So in December, you will either see your fic posted or not, and it will be a surprise! If your prompt isn't selected, I hope another prompt will be something you're excited about

Because I am a human person with feelings, I will give some number of slots to my friends/mutuals without putting them through the RNG. Just FYI

The other thing I want to address is that this year, for the first time in a while, I'm letting fandoms be a free-for-all in terms of prompting! I'm going to have some specific information for my three biggest fandoms from my poll (The 100, 9-1-1, Tortall), but there's also going to be a free response form where you can shoot your shot on basically anything you want. Unlike the big three fandoms, I won't try to make promises about getting a representative sample from the other fandoms, and I'm also going to be more willing to just knock out prompts that don't catch my interest. I think of the other fandom option as high risk/high reward; I might bounce off the prompt completely, but if it tickles my fancy, you'll go directly into the fill pool without having to brave the RNG.

Okay god this is already so long but this is the LAST THING. As is tradition, I'm also offering alternate POV fics and continuations, which I used to call timestamps but that terminology has fallen out of favor and no one knew what I meant so I'm retiring it. Basically, this is an alternate perspective of or a sequel/prequel/some kind of continuation to a fic or series I've already written. You can pick from anything I have on AO3. These will be have their own forms, so if you want one of these, you won't pick a fandom, just provide a link to the story in question and provide some additional info.

Oh and this is one entry per person. If you submit multiple I'll take the first and delete the others, and if you submit too many I'll delete the first one too tbh.

tl;dr: here's the google form again

submit your prompt by 10/4/2024; send asks to @ponyregrets if you have them

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

Would you mind sharing your planning process of the comic? I'm starting to brainstorm a fiction idea and right now the ideas are very messy and I wanted to know if you could show how you plan what happens on a season and on an episode, maybe with an example of a season episode you already published, so I can learn how to organize myself?

I really, REALLY appreciate you coming to ask me for help with this. It's awesome to hear that you respect my writing enough to seek me out as an authority on such things, or at least enough to ask for advice.

But I'm gonna be real with you - what you're asking for is not a quick slapdash reply that I can whip up in my free time. What you're asking for is an hour long video essay (with examples) on the level of an educational creative writing online course.

And I--I don't know if I have it in me to do that right now. Not with everything else I'm trying to do. (Sorry.)

BUT.

What I can give you instead is a basic rundown, and maybe some recommendations for where to this stuff.

To be absolutely brief: For me, the best way to visualize how I plan would be to make a flowchart.

Keep in mind that....... I don't ever actually.......MAKE. A flowchart.

Mostly, I am just using this as a visual representation of how my ideas flow from and to each other in a coherent way. The reality is that this skill is something you have to develop until it becomes second nature.

As an example, let's take the episode(s) where I introduced Seaglass.

This little arc was planned in season 3, but really started to come into play in Season 4.

To make it happen, I started with the obvious main idea: SEAGLASS.

I then broke it down into multiple smaller ideas:

If you notice, the main plot of this doesn't even start when the Seaglass exposition does. Steven makes Seaglass back in season 3, but doesn't know about it. But these ideas are still important to acknowledge as being a part of the main plot.

I then fill in MORE space between these larger ideas.

This whole set of steps is just a logical progression of me playing 'how do we get there'. I make up plot points and say 'what happens to get from A to B?'

And keep in mind - this may seem kinda obvious. That's because... it should be! But that's how the planning happens.

Realistically, it's just a bunch of asking myself questions. The same exact questions I refuse to answer in asks.

"What happens next? What would happen if....?" "Why doesn't Steven know about ....?"

"How would Steven find Seaglass if he doesn't know she exists?"

Well she's small and green, kinda like Peridot. So he goes looking for Peridot and mistakes Seaglass for her.

BAM! You've got yourself a plot point. That's a plan, baybee!

And then just kinda rinse and repeat.

And eventually, you want to make sure that you have some sort of connection back to the main plot point. In this case, it's the realization that Steven CREATED LIFE.

Again, I want to stress - I don't actually........plan.... by writing this down.

I do this process in my head. Often, multiple times per chapter, writing and editing to make it make more and more sense. The important part is about asking yourself questions. The same questions your readers should be asking.

"Why is this character doing this?" "Why is this event happening NOW?" "How will A find out when they realize what B has done?" "What is the BEST time for B to find out...? What is the WORST time?"

All of this takes imagination. It isn't about organization. It's moreso about learning to tetris plot events into their most snug spaces. It's about thinking of events as a staircase, which eventually leads to a larger staircase of plot arcs.

And as a final note, I will say that someday, when I'm less busy, I may make a video about plot. But it will take more time and effort, and for now, please just watch videos by other creators! I'm sure they're just as good at it as I am.

Hi hello,

Random question, but what do you headcannon cassie to look like and dress through-out her teens into adulthood? Both as wondergirl and as cassie? On that same vein, what adult superhero name do you like for her?

Anywhoosies, wishing u a great day!

late teenage into early 20s cassie is grappling with comp het pretty hard and tries to grow her hair out and dress more femme. she hates it but she doesn't know she hates it for a hot minute. this is both as wonder girl and as cassie because she barely exists as a civilian at all for a long time. "cassie sandsmark" publicly was wonder girl for a while, and she tried coming up with a fake name and identity to be a civilian again in tt03, but it was rough on her and she ultimately gave up on it.

so i think that really just weighs on her - she's a hero 24/7, she's leading the titans, she's basically letting the vigilante life consume her and she's gonna crash and burn out hard any day now. i think donna sees this and goes hey... you know you don't have to be exactly like me, right? in fact i think you need a vacation. let's go to themyscira for a bit. and its big sis lil sis bonding time but also for the first time cassie catches herself thinking um... women 😳 women? 😳 oh god. women 😳 and she has a whole crisis about it.

when she comes back from her vacation she does feel a lot more in touch with herself. the problem is that what she sees there (dissatisfied with her work-life balance, worn out, starting to confront her internalized homophobia) freaks her out. so she kind of has a crisis and hacks her hair off with a pair of scissors in the middle of the night and then looks in the mirror like. oh GOD. what did i DO??? oh god oh fuck who do i know who can fix this and won't ask me questions if i say i don't wanna talk about it hhghnggrhgnn...

so she shows up in kansas wearing a beanie at like 1am like kon Please. help. 😭 and she feels So guilty bc he's her ex and he's still kind and loving enough that he does get out of bed despite having an early morning with farm chores, and then he's all sleepily shuffling to the bathroom with her like here. sit. i'll fix your bangs. jeez. and the vibes are so... you know. bathroom light late at night spilling into the hallway. he's cutting her hair. krypto is peering at them from the doorway like why the fuck are you awake. cassie's on the verge of tears bc she wants to tell him why she did this but she's terrified it'd hurt him if she was like i think i was never actually in love with you

but when she finally says it he just stares at her. and then stares at her some more. and then he starts? laughing?? and at first she's kind of hurt like uh. that was serious and also pretty hard to say, what's so funny. and hes just almost in tears holding her hands in the bathroom by the sink like. cassie. ive been so scared of telling you i think im gay. for like. 3 months now. cassie i hooked up with an alien several weeks ago and i had a whole crisis i just refused to tell anyone about. um. yeah. and she's like. YOU WHAT? ALIEN HOOKUP? CONNER KENT? and hes like NOOOO WE ARENT TALKING ABOUT IT. YOURE A LESBIAN LETS TALK ABOUT THAT. but its like. oh! and they click back into place as best friends instead so much more easily than they ever dated. it's about the late night catharsis of it all.

this is a lot of words to say that after this i think she embraces the short hair and starts leaning into masc presentation again. i am a butch cassie truther for LIFE. get that girl some cargo shorts and a carabiner for her lasso STAT. i'm talking those truly heinous cargo pants that unzip at the knees to become shorts. formal cassie rocks the blazer with a bra underneath look. cassie lingerie is a tank top with no bra. she's butch to the bone baybee

as for her adult hero name, i still kinda waffle about it but i've Tentatively settled on "xenia"!! it's taken from one of zeus's epithets and has to do with hospitality, kindness, and the protection of strangers (yknow those rules about breaking bread with strangers etc, those are also called xenia). the og meaning had to do with the idea that a stranger could be a god in disguise so you should always honor strangers, but i think cassie would do a sort of converse of that with it, like i've got the power and i'm gonna use it to protect people i don't know, not for the idea of a boon but because it's who i am. still potentially workshopping this, though.

[weaselle]

I am not a dog whisperer. I know each is an individual but I cannot “understand “ dog. How do you train dogs to stay in the van? Mine wants out before I have even one foot on the ground when we stop.

i've been thinking about this all day. I do want to help people with their dogs, but. Can I?

For everyone else, this is in response to my post about how all dog walkers are also dog trainers if they are doing their job right, where i mention my van full of dogs waiting until each one is leashed and invited out of the van individually.

I did also, as referenced above, say that the real trick to training dogs is to get to know the dogs individually, and that this is the reason dog trainers can't take a simple question about how to train a dog and give a simple answer.

Which is true.

And does make this a tricky ask to answer well. It's sort of like asking how do you help a kid who's having trouble understanding math. There's no one answer.

So. With that in mind, i want to talk about training in general mostly, instead of training any one dog for any one thing.

There is a nice basic thing you can do to set yourself up to be able to communicate something to your dog:

Take a treat, ask your dog to sit, move the treat toward their mouth at a quite slow but steady pace. When they bounce up out of the sit to try to get the treat, make a disapproving noise (I usually make kind of an "ach" sound) and either stop moving the treat or take it back to it's starting position.

Tell them to sit again. When they sit, start moving the treat slowly down toward them again. If they stop sitting the treat stops, if they move toward the treat it goes away. Ideally there will come a moment when they juuust start to lift their butt and you juust stop moving the treat and they think about it and sit back down and you keep moving the treat toward them.

This exercise communicates an expectation, a situation, a course of action. Like, just by my describing the exercise to you, you understand what is being communicated too, even if you might struggle to put it exactly into words

once you know they understand the concept, try to pace the treat movement so they succeed a few times. Like, you can speed it up a little to be sure you get it to them before they get too excited and come up out of their sit. You want a chance to prove to them a few times that if they stay sitting they do get the treat. Then slow it way down and make them prove they will stay in a sit until the treat gets there even if it takes a while. And hey, even though the treat stays the same, the praise gets better the longer they wait! right? good.

That's communication, baybee!

Of course, not every dog will have the right mentality for this sit/treat exercise to work, but if you understand the basics of what it is trying to communicate, it can still be your template for trying to communicate that thing to your dog. And once they understand it about one thing, it starts to be easier to tell it to them about other things.

I don't work with treats because i walk three large packs of dogs (often as many as ten at once) and the roster changes, sometimes a tues/thurs dog needs to bump to a wednesday or whatever, so the dogs aren't always super used to each other. If there's a sudden discovery of food aggression or resource guarding or just plain "i don't trust or like you" behavior that can come out around high value food items like treats, well, i can't work on any training about that without risking injury to the other dogs. I have good friends who walk dogs who work with treats and who are excellent dog trainers and that works for them in their situations, so i'm not saying it's wrong to work with treats as a dog walker, i'm just saying it's wrong for me.

So i do all my professional training without treats. And that means I have to identify what the dogs want and show them i control it and then demand specific behavior to access it.

So, lets say i'm getting a dog ready to go and this dog wants to rush out the gate at full speed as soon as it's open enough for them to squeeze through. And i don't want them to.

I identify what they really want. They really want to get through the gate. So getting through the gate is the treat. Actually, the way a dog works, getting closer to getting out the gate is a treat. I make that conditional on a behavior i want, and then i'll play out the scenario in slow motion and play hotter/colder with it until they do the thing i want. Looks like this:

I'll initiate the situation (put my hand on the latch) and then when they rush right up to the gate i'll make a disapproving noise and move my hand off the latch. I'll wait a beat (this is to give them just a moment to figure it out or make a decision, and i try to build these moments into as much of my training as possible) Then i'll use my entire body to move them back from the gate, sort of the way i'd open a door with my butt if my hands were full (this is a version of a thing called body blocking that doesn't always involve touching but is physical communication based on what you are doing with your body) I'll wait until i can get them to just stand there without me touching them before i start over and reach for the latch again.

This is where they get focused, because the gate isn't even close to open yet, so they aren't too excited to pay attention. You need them to give you the behavior you want before you start doing the thing that makes them excited. The more excited they are the harder it is for you to communicate or intervene, and it's easier for them to just maintain a current behavior than to change an excited behavior. In this case we'll say the behavior you want is staying calmly behind you until you tell them they can come out the gate, so you make them stay calmly behind you before you even start opening the gate.

The dog wants the gate to be open. The gate opens slowly. The dog starts moving toward it, the gate starts closing. The dog goes back to what it was doing when the gate was opening, and the gate starts opening once more.

Dogs understand this situation pretty quickly.

Then, when it's open, before i tell them they can go, if they start to move toward the gate i will physically move my body to block them from getting out the open gate. If they try hard enough to make this difficult for me, i simply close the gate again.

You can't do this for all the things you want to train for, and it doesn't work for every dog, but it is pretty likely you can do some variation of this basic communication with most dogs to accomplish many situational behaviors.

Like, for example, not leaping out of your car.

Or take jumping up on people. What the dog wants is to put its face near your face. You can let that happen without them jumping by slowly crouching down to let them sniff your ear and lick your cheek or whatever (my dogs aren't allowed to lick my mouth, but they can lick my face, unless they are like the twin beagles i walk, who are disgusting poop eaters and aren't allowed to lick me at all). Anyway, if they sit calmly you continue to crouch toward them slowly, if they come out of a sit, you stand back up. If they stay calmly sitting what they want gets closer to happening, if they try to jump or anything, what they want goes away. This is the kind of communication dogs understand very fast.

And let me also say, you have to show them you are paying very close attention to them. If you want them calmly standing still and they even LEAN forward, you want to let them know you saw that, you want to acknowledge that, whether with a little noise or a look, or pausing the activity for a second, or whatever. That lean forward is communication from them, and responding to it shows you are participating fully, that you are paying attention to them. This will usually automatically make them pay more attention to you back.

and it's communication you do understand. A lot of people think it's some kind of secret dog code. True, there are a few things to know that are like dog language but MOST of it is like, if the dog sees something she wants to eat or fight, and she leans toward it, she is (literally) getting closer to trying to eat or fight it. You can tell what's going on pretty easy if you see it. Like, if every part of a dog's face (nose, eyes, ears) is pointed at a single thing with laser focus, it is highly interested in, or even having strong feelings about, that thing. Your dog is telling you this clear as day, and all you have to do is notice, there's really not that much deciphering.

That early intervention / close attention thing is huge in any training situation. I work with my dogs to not bark at other dogs, and so when i see a dog a block away, i'm already looking at my problem dogs, and when i see that they see the other dog, i say their name, not mad, just, i see you, i'm watching you. I'm aware of both you and that other dog, and i have my eye on you about it. If they stand very tense with their ears and tail hard up, that's already too much, that's already breaking the rules, and I'll let them know i disapprove. That's as rude as walking right up to someone and silently staring hard at them in their face. Imagine if some one did that to you in public?

See, a lot of times when two leashed dogs cross paths and one of them starts barking, it was actually the OTHER dog that started shit, really. And if i have an easily offended dog, i have to convince them to not go off about it. And the way i do that is, I Am In Charge of Public Interactions when the pack is with me. Other dogs other people, they are not allowed to interact with the dogs, all interactions come through me. And the same goes for my pack, they do not interact with dogs or bikers or people. That is my job. They are not allowed to. And my other job is making sure everybody in the pack maintains behavior standards. So.

Anyway, the earlier you start the dialogue, the easier it is to get them to listen. By the time they are already standing on their hind legs against the leash barking, it is far too late to communicate anything to them, they are lost in the sauce of adrenalized action.

What i think of as "getting in early" allows for a full range of communication. When i get in early i can say "Bubba, i see you" in a very lightly disapproving tone and it's usually quite effective because Bubba isn't overly excited yet and knows i am paying attention. When it's not effective, and now he's at step 2 out of 5 in the escalation toward the thing he's not allowed to do, I can give the leash a tiny tug and put just the smallest edge to my voice when I say, still pretty lightly, "don't do it Bubba." See, we're just having a conversation, neither of us is barking or growling yet. And believe me, your shout is a bark and your angry voice is a growl to them just as much as we understand a growl to be their angry voice. Give yourself as much space as possible to talk before the two of you get to that point

That said, there have been a few dogs that superman-leapt from the van a couple of times, and those are dogs i had to catch mid jump and sort of toss back in the van, and then stand blocking the van door staring full at them until i was sure they weren't getting ready to try again. You do have to control the situation.

hope that helps!

99+ missed messsages.

jing yuan x femdom!reader nsfw themes (STRAIGHT UP SMUT BAYBEE DONT BE A MINOR). read at your own risk. english isn’t my first language, so please don’t mind the grammatical errors. (っ◞‸◟ c)

⪩ jing yuan can be a little bratty, so our trailblazer decided to punish him.

TERM DIRECTORY ◖y/n: your name ◖e/c: eye color ◖h/c: hair color

➜ jing yuan: ╰(▔∀▔)╯ y/n

➜ jing yuan: y/n y/n y/n y/n y/n

➜ jing yuan: y/n °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

for the past few hours...maybe two hours, your phone had been blowing up constantly from a certain military general. even as you continued on with your mission, your phone was consistently vibrating from the constant messages from jing yuan, who was here to annoy you.

the general quite knew you were out running errands that's related to your mission, but luckily for you (and not so for him), you were almost done with your errands...and finally, delivering the last package, you grabbed your phone, reading a big fat 99+ next to jing yuan's name. he really did spam you.

➜ y/n: what

➜ y/n: i'm literally busy, why are you spamming me?

➜ y/n: i told you to call me if it's an emergency

➜ y/n: you can't just spam me bc youre bored

➜ y/n: i miss you too but wtf

in truth, you really found it adorable. but you just wanted to scold at him for a bit. it didn't actually bother you, but you liked seeing him whine and act all cute over text.

➜ jing yuan: hi lmfao

➜ jing yuan: i just miss you. are you done yet? come home

➜ y/n: hmm

➜ y/n: yeah... i got something for you. a gift.

➜ jing yuan: woah really? bet

really, you just had something mischievous and dirty hidden in your sleeve...

...entering the premises of the general's headquarters, you find him seated at his desk filling out some paperwork. the moment you had entered, you could see that his eyes lit up, despite the fact he was quite a few distances away from the main entrance. you see him getting up from his seat as he walks over to you with open arms.

"y/n!" he greeted, welcoming you home. you could see yanqing formally bowing to you in the background.

"hello," you then murmur in his ear, "stop what you're doing. now."

jing yuan blinked, puzzled as you both embraced each other. he tilted his head, murmuring something back.

"eh? of course. what is it?"

"come with me."

jing yuan would blink before nodding, turning to yanqing and gesturing him to put away the paperwork. he then looked back to you, following you down the corridor, which lead into the bedroom that you both shared.

once the doors had closed behind you, you could hear jing yuan look at you with curiosity.

"eh? am i in trouble? look, i get so bored that i need to spam yo—!?"

you grab the man by the shirt before forcing him down to your height, your lips crashing against his. you didn't spare the man a single second to speak at all, as your free hand rummaged down towards his crotch.

"you brat," you curse, playfully biting against his lip as you slowly lead him to the bed as you two made out. you could taste the blood that protruded from the very minor injury you caused against his lips, "shut up and behave."

jing yuan was such a tease. sometimes he was a brat on purpose so he could be dominated by you like this in the bedroom, but this wasn't something he intentionally planned. but also, he didn't mind it either. he loved this side of you. he loved that you were basically wearing the pants in the relationship when it came to your guys' private life.

"y/n," he murmured, finding himself to fall backwards onto his back against the bed as you straddled him. he breathed heavily, embracing the familiar warmth of your hands as they were going towards his crotch again. you were undoing his pants, immediately taking what belonged to you. and rightfully so.

"shut up. did i say you should speak?"

jing yuan had a mischievous look in his eye as he shook his head, obeying your very command. he watched as you undid his pants successfully, before inviting the tip of his already-erect length into your mouth. you wasted no time.

"this is your punishment for annoying the shit out of me while i'm out working," you say, kissing the sides of his throbbing member, "now you're not allowed to work."

"fuck," he grunted as you took him whole again, breathing heavily. your hot mouth definitely had made his head swirl, causing him to not really think properly at this moment. you were already mindfucking him, and you didn't even do anything but have a little sweet taste of him.

"you're speaking again?" your free hands came to mess with the jewels that hung underneath his length, occupying your mouth with his member once more. you were punishing him, and even if he came, you would keep pleasuring him despite how sensitive he was feeling at this very moment.

jing yuan bit his lip, wanting to apologize, but he couldn't. instead, he breathed, clutching his fingers against the bed sheets of his mattress as you practically sucked the life out of him...and he finally gasped, his legs twitching as he felt the sensation of releasing his seed inside of your mouth just reaching at the top.

and you knew it.

so, you continued, guiding your tongue up and down against this skin, welcoming the blossoming of his sticky, hot liquid that immediately burst into your mouth. you swallowed every drop, but you didn't stop either. this time, you had nearly forgotten about the command that you gave to jing yuan, especially when he had started saying your name quietly.

"y-y/n...w-wait... ah— i just, please—"

but that didn't stop you.

and you welcomed the taste of his climax once more, swallowing every bit and drop that left his erect member. jing yuan was tired, but you didn't plan on finishing him...not just yet. you wanted your own fun, too.

licking your lips, you undid your pants and lifted your shirt, letting jing yuan admire the sight before him. he wanted to reach out to grab you, but he knew you didn't properly give him the command to touch you. instead, like an obedient puppy he was now, he watched you.

as you straddled him, you placed his erect member inside of you. you gasp quietly, sighing with relief as you felt your walls separate, welcoming the familiar, throbbing member that intruded inside of you. shifting your hips, you began to ride him, holding him steadily as you immediately began to pick up the pace.

"gh—" you heard him breathe against your shoulder, his arms wrapped around you as your rode him. you were rough, and boy did he like that. he was into it, and he adored this side of you.

you felt his tongue, teeth and his lips trail up and down against your neck, leaving marks of his love all over your skin. you were fucking him silly, and he could no longer think.

all he could truly really think about...was you at this moment.

but you were already in a good mood since you were practically mind fucking him, so you decided to reward jing yuan a bit. you gestured him to change positions, allowing him to take you from behind instead.

holding onto the headboard of the bedframe, you allowed jing yuan to thrust and to pump inside of you. you felt every inch of him hit deeper into your area, and it felt too amazing that you were beginning to fill the bedroom with your own moans as well. luckily, the walls were thick, so the both of you could be as loud as you wanted.

it wasn't long until jing yuan had practically came inside of you, but you knew his limits as he was ready to do it over again—because you were going to make him do it. the both of you spent the entire night just fucking each other silly, avoiding work for the day, and just basically filling you up with his seed. an unintentional breeding, but also...breeding you.

he didn't really learn his lesson, truth to be told. he would just annoy you to have these sessions again.

but you punished him every time.

[mercymermaid]

objectively THE best tadc episode yet (obviously ep5 spoilers)

that was so fucking amazing i was laughing my ass pretty much the entire time

no1, jax getting bullied for a change, the most beautiful of plots to be shown. and his savageness, he's a feral asshole and he rocks it. and then the actually being almost vulnerable but not. he's somehow more emotionally constipated than caine and caine isn't even human, which ik is like an entire part of his character but it's actually rlly interesting to see it come to light!! like the entire stargazing scene, WE SAW THAT DUDE. and of course the maid outfit and the corn and the tail are amazing. also "you got high in mcdonald's and told gangle to kill herself" should not be as funny as it was... and who was his former friend ragatha was talking about??? this was basically jax's crashout episode, PLEASE tell me he actually opens up in the future. HOW CAN I FORGET AUSTRALIAN JAX I BURST OUT LAUGHING AT THAT PART

the animation was AMAZING this episode, like??? also the voice acting for the evil cast was hilarious. except why no evil gangle and why the coach dictator behind the slaughter

CAINE. CAINE CAINE CAINE MY MAAAAAN. OH MY GOD. THE CAINE CRASHOUT EPISODE IS COMING CLOSER AND CLOSER??? like he is being told that what he is programmed to do isn't good enough, but interestingly, he's responding with anger rather than glitching like with zooble? please don't make him be the villain in the end </3 please glitch PLEASEEE, but i guess it COULDD be another sign of his impending breakdown (the stages of grief ARE denial, then anger...) im so excited, PLUS bubble said sex? which should be banned, theoretically, which means the filters are dying, which means you know... also shame there was no musicalelly about rigatta in three days, and it ended up being the intermission.. but i know a bazillion people are probably gonna analyze it to hell and back (the frame from that was on caine's thing on wackywatch, ughahsjxjhz)

THE MANNEQUIN..... caine's npc paranoia was foreshadowing... and ragatha learning to feel, and i LOVE that we got zooble content they're actually such an icon, bartender AND tattoo artist sign me up baybee 😝😝, and poor ragatha w her sad backstory :(

literally a masterpiece the difference between the pilot and this is PHENOMENAL

FE3H Byleth Twins!AU (+ good ending)

Why have one goddess-hosting, time-travelling protagonist, when you can have two? In a world where Jeralt hides both Byleth and Blythe from the Church for many years before being drawn back in after saving the new house leaders, the webs of political and religious machinations are even tighter. But perhaps with two instead of one, they can find a brighter finale.

(this is a masterpost and more posts will be added to this tag in the future)

BYLETH (M!My Unit): Leader of the blue lions house

BLYTHE (F!My Unit): Leader of the black eagles house

The incarnation of Sothis is split between two bodies, ironically making it easier for them to bear her godly power. Their usage of Divine Pulse is less frequent or purposeful, but their link allows them to share emotions and that kind of twins telepathy.

And how is it a "good" ending? We're combining all four (five) routes, baybee! Jeralt lives! The Ashen Wolves are there! Those Who Slither In The Dark get murdered! Both Edelgard and Dimitri get to have unhealthy codependent relationships with their respective Eisner twin!

Bullet point plot details below:

Manuela leads the golden deer, and Hanneman devotes some extra semesters to crest research, as well as replacing Garreg Mach's librarian when the previous librarian goes mysteriously missing a few moons into the school year.

The early game proceeds as canon, but the twins' lessened control of their powers catches the attention of both the Church and Those Who Slither

Jeralt is still stabbed and seemingly killed by Kronya, but in truth, Lady Rhea secrets Jeralt away and manages to revive him. While he recovers, the Ashen Wolves discover him and adopt him as their house leader. By the time Jeralt recovers enough to get out of the abyss, it's already timeskip and his kids are presumed dead :)

The twins empathetic bond causes their grief over losing their father to combine and they spend a week basically comatose in bed because they're just bouncing their emotional trauma off of each other

If anything this only endears them to their respective houses all the more

The twins try to learn to create some emotional/telepathic distance because they can't have that happen again and this leads to Blythe keeping her first ever secret from her brother: Edelgard is planning her revolution, and Blythe intends to help her

The war breaks out as expected, but Edelgard is all the more ruthless and is successful in striking down Rhea

The twins fall into the chasm together and wake up five years later

still at odds with each other, after waking, they fight to a standstill and then separate to reunite with their respective house leaders

But both Edelgard and Dimitri are, as in canon, (maybe a little more) off the rails. The twins are preoccupied trying to support the students who they feel they failed. With Sothis a constant reminder in their ears trying to reconcile them so they can work together, they start their own searches into the dark past

They both separately reach out to Claude, who does Not tell either of them that their twin is in contact with him. he also doesn't tell them about the Ashen Wolves who are now running around as a mercenary crew under Jeralt

Claude uncovers the plot of Those Who Slither, drama! The war is devolving as Edelgard realizes how much they have been manipulating her and hurting those she cares about, and as Dimitri realizes Edelgard is not the root cause of his misery, but they're too far in it now to just turn back, or so they think.

The twins take it upon themselves to offer up their services to Those Who Slither as long as they release Edelgard and Dimitri from their plans

Solon uses dark magic to possess the twins and turn them into killing machines, the perfect vessels for the power that had brought Sothis down in the first place

The only one who is able to stop them is Jeralt

Upon being snapped out of their possession the twins turn on Solon

Happily ever after yay!

Golden retriever vibes 24/7

[jerkeline]

passing along top 5 games of the past 5 years

I couldn't whittle it down from 10 so I'm giving you top 10. I agree with your top 1,2,3, and 5, (I didn't play monster sanctuary but it looks fun) so I won't repeat those here. Otherwise, in no particular order:

1) Astalon: Tears of the Earth: I didn't expect to like this game AT ALL, and yet it became one of my favourites of all time. It has a mechanic where every time you die it puts you all the way back to the start, which almost turned me off it, but it's actually not as big a deal as it seems at first. It's full of secrets, like EVERYWHERE, and has such great art direction, the vibes are impeccable, and the music's great. 10/10 best game I've played in a long time.

2) Tevi: Another game I didn't expect to enjoy, and honestly it's a little embarrassing how much I did enjoy it besides its uhh.. cringe? it's just a fun game ok get off my back! At least it's self aware enough to make jokes at its own expense. Unlike me

3) Death's Door: I loved deaths door! The gameplay mechanics are so smooth and fluid, and the little crow guy is so freaking cute. I'm not very good at videojames, and this one really challenged me, but it was perfectly balanced for me to get frustrated trying to fight a guy and give up, only to come back the next day and beat it! The sense of achievement I got from Death's Door is something I've never got from a game before so A+

4) Tunic: I mean if you know Tunic then you know. Figuring out the language to a point where I could read and write it almost fluently by the end of the game felt really good, and makes me want to learn another language real bad, but I just don't have the motivation I guess. Good game though, great ambiance

5) Eastward: Eastward I feel like it could be cut in half and still be one of my favourite games. I think the "action-y" parts are kinda unnecessary, they just made me want to get back to the parts where I'm just walking around chatting to people. More just hanging out, less having to whack stuff with a frying pan please. The farming dlc is great too but I broke it by doing some quest out of order or something, idk. It was apparently fixed in a patch, so I'm definitely going to go back and play through the entire game and the dlc again at some point

6) Jack Move: This is just a fun little cyberpunk rpg thing, very basic, only about 5 hours long, but is wonderful in its simplicity. Like its just rock paper scissors battle system, so it's not overly complex or anything, not much of a challenge, but the writing's great and the pixel art rocks, what else do you want?

7) Wytchwood: Another one I picked up on a hunch and really enjoyed. The art style is like wierd at first but actually works really well. It's a lot of running around gathering ingredients and doing witchy things for nursery rhyme characters, very fun, great writing, good comedic timing, just an overall good time.

8) Baldo: I was hanging out for Baldo for yeeeeeaarrrsss, and was it worth it? Maybe!? It's a little janky but like scratched a particular itch for me, all the way up to the last like, literally 30 seconds. The ending SUCKS dude, like really bad. And it's like so sudden just a 30 second cut scene that ruins all the hard work you put in. Fucking.. unfinished at the very least, super disappointing. There's been a couple of free dlc for it, and mayyybe fixed the ending?? I might to hurt to find out though.

9) Another Crabs Treasure: It's soulslike crab baybee! I've never thought that I'd like soulslikes because I'm not good at vidgam and the selling point seems to be that they're hard. Idk I don't want to just lose all the time, I play 1 draw infinite klondike solitare just because it's easy and I like to achieve something. Crab's not that hard though, it is fucking JANKY as hell on the switch though, I couldn't even see one boss I was fighting towards the end because it was running at like 1 frame a minute. Still beat him though. Also fuck that prawn.

10) Bug Fables: Bug fables is like what if Paper Mario Thousand Year Door was good, which it is, but Bug Fables is too. The bugs are cute as hell and the fighting system is really good. I mean it's cute bugs, they're cute!

That's all, can we go home now?

[simplyofthestars]

Concept for a new League of Legends show (I made up in a dream)

Excuse the way I write this post it's just a giant rant (also I don't play league so be warned)

Hope this gets attention cause this is REALLY important to me

So basically Piltover has a bit of a halt (because all their good scientists just fucking died)

Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger (they're not letting singed back into the city) and also Jinx (cause she was sorta a scientist)

So ekko is like "i gotta fix this shit cause otherwise Piltover wont be the city of progress"

As a kid, there was this fairytale circulating Zaun about some god that could bring people back to life

(I fw Kindred, can you tell I fw Kindred?)

(I have rights to slightly change their character cause Arcane did it for their entire cast)

And Ekko goes to Vi and asks if she could help him

and her being her is like "that is a fairytale, you seriously believe it?"

and Ekko has the most deadass face

So he reads the fairytale again and figures out that it's instructions on how to bring back people from the dead

He has to find 4 people from all around Runeterra with different abilities and gather them in this spooky temple in the spooky woods

They also have to find a dead body cause Kindred brings back dead people, not makes them (like transferring souls)

and I'm still thinking about who would be in the group

So I was thinking about incorperating Lux in it so think Wild Rift You Really Got Me trailer Lux has met Jinx ONCE and that was when she was stealing something from her home aka the only time Jinx has left Zaun and it wouldn't be powder or teen jinx it would be INBETWEEN the time we DON'T see in the time skip so new jinx design teehee

and im tryna think of other characters me n gang about to bring people back from the dead: Ekko (Everyone in his life EVER) Lux (dead relative) Ahri (cause she killed her boyfriend or something) and i've got no idea for other people I think Gwens creator died or something So I'd add Gwen But that's way too many women Ekko and the gang get a body and bring it to Kindred Ekko's happy he can finally bring back Heimerdinger but everyone else is like "this isn't what we signed up for we were promised our dead family" so they have their little fight their banter then they stop fighting, pull it together, and go find more dead people they connect along the way cause character developement then they finally bring all the dead bodies to Kindred (and one extra incase something goes wrong) They bring back all their relatives and lost friends and stuff Kindred brings back Jayce for Ekko Jayce is like "What just happened and where did Viktor go?" then Ekko starts talking to Kindred cause they have one extra body that they could fill with Viktors soul and Kindred is like "Nuh Uh" "Eeeny" points to Lux's dead family member "meeny" points to Ahri's dead boyfriend "miney" points to another undead person "moony" points to Jayce "…" "mo" points to the extra dead body in the back which surprise surprise Got filled by Jinx's soul so now Ekko is having so many mental problems at once And Jayce offers to go find a body for Viktor cause he ALSO invented a shitton of stuff But then Ekko can't deal with sticking around Jinx (who wasn't supposed to be revived) so he goes to find another body instead and the rest of the crew follow so the dead people are hanging out in the forest place with Kindred And Kindred decides to fuck with Jinx (and because this is my story, I can let them do this) They're able to shapeshift into dead people but only dead people, not living people Kindred is able to become the dead person of their wish (voice, looks, memories and everything) But they don't get possesed by the person, they just sorta use them as a mould of their choosing So what does Kindred do to fuck with Jinx? (this is the part where you guess)

She turns into fucking Isha, that's right baybee and ofcourse they don't speak while as Isha but does the little "Pew" To mess up Jinx in the brain (more than she already was) Why? Cause it's funny

RANT OVER, TIME FOR REASONING:

Kindred is a god of death, responsible for the passing of living beings to the afterlife. More of a function than a power, Kindred will come to those that are close to death, and take them to the beyond.

So my brain thought, what if they could also BRING PEOPLE BACK

I don't play League so don't @ me if I get something wrong, but also do @ me in my ask box incase there is something I should add

I just dreamed about this last night so there probably IS some inconsistancies like:

"Well why did Kindred bring back Jayce instead of Heimerdinger for Ekko?" Cause the body Ekko brought was human, not a Yordle, it's like trying to make comfortable clothes out of brick, you can't do it cause that isn't how brick works, you can't bring back a Yordle in a humans body

UPDATE AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES OF THIS SITTING IN THE DRAFTS:

So basically there's more alternate reality time warp stuff and if I actually get to animating it, maybe i'd add alternate Jayce and Viktors in the background hanging out cause Viktor and Jayce's souls are entwined now so how cool would it be if Ekko is going through universes and suddenly ends up in he astral plane Viktor and Jayce are in this spacey place

and then Ekko asks Viktor about what universe he's in and then Jayce shows up and stands next to Viktor like "what're we talking about?" then soon Ekko realises that he's in HIS universe and that this is the original Jayce and Viktor so wait a minute … … .. Who the hell is the Jayce that Kindred brought back?? and then suddenly Ekko realises his crew isn't with him so he has to go around MORE universes to find them again cause their souls are scattered across different dimensions

I'll write more later

[candycryptids]

Should really just make a post with all my silly little oc Spotify playlists. Might as well be this one.

Non-Specific XIV playlists (made up of XIV songs and some remixes of them, includes songs from Canon Crossover Raids like NIER and Ivalice) [Battle] [Relax]

Chuusday’s playlist [Workshop] (factory noise/boss themes/electronic) and [Dreaming Of electric Kaarakuul] (gramophone graininess and blues)

Tuesday’s Playlist [Chores Simulator] (Louie Zong, Piano, Waltzes, the feeling of being in a new small town possibly on the coast)

Ishi’li’s Playlist [Dazzling Eorzean Adventurer In Purple] (Creepy Nuts, hip hop, 8-bit/chip tune, J-rock. The most vibe varied playlist so far imho, but Ishi has a wider range of musical tastes because of their background…)

Levraut’s playlist [Pirates + Investigations] (Sea shanties, drinking, sailing songs, hints of harpsichord, occasional tension)

Tangy’s playlist [Internal Thoughts] (Basically All Elevator Music BayBee) and [Orange Jams] (shoegaze/garage rock, crunchy)

Mochiie’s Playlist [Doesn’t have a Name Yet] (sprinkle of traditional Mongolian, Bollywood, romantic Hindi songs, XIV music) not nearly as long as my other playlists yet.

Swydghem’s (and Solkmyna’s, they’re sorta blended, I was listening to it the whole time I was writing [This]) playlist [The Sea Rises To Meet You] (Somber, more women’s vocals than men, longing, Gaelic)

Maltagliati’s playlist [Haunting Hours are 24/7] (Halloweenish and Video Game Chill-hop with some Dungeon Crawling sprinkled in. Laid back hanging out in a haunted house or perhaps in Haukke Manor’s basement on a dare, summoning Creatures. Or, low stakes hide and seek with a monster. I dunno.)

Bonus round: Chuu+Tue’s combined playlist, a very small mix of music I’m slowly cultivating. [Marriage Of Flesh And Machine] (Electro, Piano, Crunch, Dance Hall, Orchestral??? tempo and vibe vary wildly between chased by Wolves In An Abandoned City and Trendy Department Store Introspection. They are more than the sum of their parts; it is a chaotic collision of Viera and Machine into something new and beautiful and strange.)
