it's a shame i have no interest in developing a sci-fi OC setting because it would be cool to have space whales in something

With the past few years of minimal shows and experimenting with different sports, I'm consistently shocked at how much entries cost, even though I shouldn't be.
I have a feeling starting as a Junior Handler didn't help, when I got to run for $5 a run until I turned 18. There were even a couple awesome clubs that offered discounts to college students!
Agility is still one of the least expensive per turn sports and it's not even that cheap. I've heard flyball has pretty inexpensive entries and maybe disc??? Otherwise many sports are charging upwards of $20 per run. That really stacks up over several days and several runs. God forbid you have another dog!
I post this because I entered two ob/rally shows yesterday, since they were on the website and I thought what the heck, I'll get entered. The closing date and the show dates overlapped so that I couldn't wait to see if he moved up at the first one. It was $236 for 3 rounds of rally at the first show, and 2 rounds each of ob and rally at the second show. $20 was processing fees because EVERY SINGLE RUN was considered to be at a separate show. I know each run is a technically a separate "trial" but I still think that's bs. Why can't the whole event be considered one show???? I guess the superintendent has to make a buck, but come on. Honestly, I would mail my entries, but the last time I mailed an entry to a superintendent, I didn't get in to the show because USPS was all screwy and they didn't check their PO box or something. Don't trust 'em to get my entry anymore.
I really don't have a burning desire to like, drive out of my way to enter AKC rally/ob. There's a decent number of shows 1.5 hrs away, but I'm not feeling it is worth it. I might go if it's in conjunction with a huge confo show while I'm looking for next dog. I can see driving out of my way for scent work. I think that's more fun for Mud and we can often do more than 1 or 2 runs a day. It's still $$$ tho.
Within 30 minutes is a decent amount of ASCA rally, and I think a few shows where ASCA obedience is offered. It's waaaay cheaper than AKC. I think I'll start making an effort to keep track of their schedule. I just haven't because I am lazy. You also have to fill out all the show info on a default entry form template. I need to look over the rulebooks and see what different signs and stuff there are. They are also quite small, so I've heard it's tough to get in. Guess I need to put the opening date on my calendar vs just the trial date.

Me, staring at the walrus on my doorstep: this makes no sense
The walrus: pardon my unexpected appearance, good sir, but I find myself trapped in this unfortunate form and require your assistance, for you see, I am a fairy-
Me: Ohhhhhh, now I get it

we need to pry the phrase 'feminist retelling' from the cruel uncaring hands of marketing departments before it's too late

Githyanki doodling on post-it notes that I cleaned up a lil bit
Lae'zel from memory on the first (im only happy with the profile tbh), and Anma and Mitas on the second (It was SO easy to fit them in BG3 lore it's insane... I even have a whole storyline roughly figured out for them and it came together in like 30 minutes on my walk home from work.)
I don't have any energy to draw nowadays except on post-its, but it's better than nothing.

seeing so many fellow creators' gifsets getting under 180 notes with an average reblog to like ratio of 1:3 is so disheartening. less and less people are putting out content cause it seems that no one cares anymore.
If you truly care about supporting creators at all, I encourage everyone to have a tracked tag in this economy whether you make content or not, you probably have mutuals who would love to share things with you and can't.

i think my favorite "raditz-gets-brought-back-somehow" au is the idea that he accidentally gets brought back when goten is a kid and while everyone else is understandably wary given the last time he was around (even if they're no longer afraid of him because EVERYONE is a million times stronger than him) goten latches onto him like a goddamn leech. constantly hanging from his hair and poking at him and following him around and whatnot. calls him "mr. radish" that eventually changes to "uncle radish" when someone finally tells him his relation to goku. raditz is NOT happy about this at ALL but he really can't do anything because goten is a fucking super saiyan and could annihilate raditz with his pinky finger. so he just has to deal with it. and eventually things sort of smooth out and raditz becomes goten's weird gruff uncle that just kind of sits there while goten crawls all over him and gets all bristly when someone accuses him of caring about another person. and i say he's goten's uncle specifically because i think if he and gohan come within 50 feet of each other gohan goes mystic and stands there radiating the world's most tangible rage until raditz fucking skedaddles. gohan's gentle heart vs. the fact that raditz was quite literally the domino that triggered the absolute horror that was his childhood FIGHT
