#char raising

[charcorner]

This may seem like a shitpost, but it's actually one of the best Char husbandry tips out there. Chars need regular exercise and mental stimulation, or else they will get bored and take to making your home basically uninhabitable, by way of knocking things over, causing messes, blowing things up with their MSes, etc.

Be a responsible Char owner and do your research.

kind of hilarious to me that it’s Bruce who is able to analyze and comprehend medical tests. like, do you think he got into the rebellion in order to fight AfO, but then found himself, somehow, the most medically qualified person in the group?

Kudou: excellent work with your meta ability, it’s really cool how you’re able to stockpile energy and control its output

Bruce: yeah it was a hassle to find my limits but thank god i knew how to stitch myself back together when i overdid it

Kudou: … you know how to stitch wounds?

Bruce: i dropped out of medical school before i could start my residency but—

Kudou: YOU WERE IN MEDICAL SCHOOL?!?

There's no need for violence. I know there must be a way to work out a compromise.

the Shanks is eldest daughter post is so real and true to me too, what's your conspiracy theory? :O

JDBFKSNFN okay for a bit more context i made the post bc i was watching the new ep and buggy’s flashback n just generally. How he saw shanks as this perfect golden son/scion of Roger………

But my conspiracy theory is that Roger basically asked shanks to give up his dream at 14 and told him to step aside to instead work towards setting up the stage for the future joyboy. I only have a little to go off of, I call it a conspiracy theory bc it’s me extrapolating more from his actions than from real concrete evidence in the story, but until we know shanks’ true motivations and what Roger really told him upon returning from Laughtale this will probably be how I personally see shanks and his intentions 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ it’s fairly obvious he knew about the nika fruit and all that surrounds it and we can pretty safely assume Roger was the one who told him but aside from that what’s interesting to me is how as soon as it’s eaten he returns to the grand line and quite strategically works his way up to being an emperor, a title that he uses to act as this old guard/sentry to maintain balance until Luffy can come into his own. And for a boy who grew up on Roger’s ship, who used to gush about wanting to do nothing but sail and go on adventures in the future, to end up in that position twenty yrs later is a bit Interesting to me, esp in comparison to how the rest of Roger’s crew has faded into obscurity—shanks is very explicitly the only one who has retained that level of prestige. And like……. being asked by ur parent to set aside ur own goals to take care of the next generation even as ur other sibling looks to you as the epitome of the perfect doted-upon child is Very eldest daughter coded LMFAOOOOOOOO

Anyway I think there’s a decent chance this isn’t true or is only true to a far lesser extent bc it would be a bit out of character both for Roger (as the prime example of being a pirate and thus one enormous embodiment of Freedom) and honestly for Oda/the story, plus it does a bit of a disservice to shanks’ character as like. The story’s platonic ideal of a pirate (honestly I might even go so far as to say shanks is more that than even Roger is, being the mentor & the man luffy most emulates while Roger is a mythological idol) shanks is the one who fundamentally taught luffy how to be a pirate so the idea that Shanks threw away his dreams for luffy is a bit iffy. But I suppose there’s narrative weight to shanks giving up his dreams too, specifically for luffy in a sense—this is smthn I’ve gotten at in other posts abt his arm sacrifice and the hat, how to a certain extent the hat was always Luffy’s birthright as a symbol of Roger’s inherited will but the arm is smthn else entirely……… but now I’m just rambling and I know that’s me projecting more symbolism than Oda ever intended LMFAOOOOOOOO

So I think the most likely to be canon is a Lighter interpretation of the concept, that Roger did tell shanks some extent of what he saw on Laughtale and perhaps even made some requests of him, but not like. An order or anything. But idk who knows where it’s all headed!!! Certainly we’ll learn more about all of this and I’m sure buggy will be along for the ride too ISNFKDNKDN but there u go. Thats my conspiracy theory 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[du-hjarta-skulblaka]

Stuck on the first few eps of Farscape after finishing up Fantasy High s2 and maybe its the whole most recently consumed bias but I'm really struck by how much it feels like a dnd game??? Bunch of weird lil renegades slapped together and put in weird situations, honestly it would make a really interesting starting point for a game

Anyway John Crichton is a bard/wizard; he does a lot of persuasion as performance and that scene of him collapsing to the floor to write slingshot equations is THE most wizard shit- perhaps Artificer would be more accurate to him but it's not a class I'm familiar with.

[charcorner]

Welcome to Char Corner!

Hi there, fellow Char owners! My name is Astra, I use any pronouns but mostly she/they, and I raise Homo aznablii (also known as Chars) for a living! I have worked at multiple Char shelters, and own multiple Chars myself. Here's a quick intro to them!

(Plus, some tips I shared in the comments of a Strange Aeons video about clown husbandry:)

Mars

Male 0079

Age: 4

Mars is a new addition to the family. I picked him up from a Char shelter back in July. He was surrendered to the shelter after his owners couldn't take care of them. PSA: Purebred 0079s are not good starter Chars! They need constant stimulation to keep from engaging in the classic Char pastime of destroying everything in your home, along with 0079s needing to be disciplined regularly, (without force! please do not hit or yell at your char, as they will distrust you and be more likely to indiscriminately attack you. i like to use spray bottles) to actually make them listen to you. If you REALLY like 0079s but don't have any experience raising Chars, get a 0079/Quattro cross. While Mars can have an attitude sometimes and has tried to escape a few times when I let him outside for more than a few minutes, he's a really sweet Char. Fun fact: he's the same 0079 Char from the Garfield story I shared above

Hallie Jr.

Female Quattro/CCA mix

Age: 3

Hallie Jr. is one of the Char pups from the story I shared above. Her mother, a Quattro named Hallie, was one of the first Chars I raised, and was a general sweetheart. Sadly, last May, Hallie was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 17, and I had no choice but to end her life in a humane way. I'll never forget the day I took her home from the shelter all those years ago, and how she was so scared on the ride back home... Anyways, Hallie Jr. is chaotic. That's it. I remember when I first took Mars home and Hallie Jr. gave him a nice chomp on the shoulder. What a way to roll in the welcome wagon... She's also given me a few nips, too, and almost attacked another Char at the Char park (my pride and joy as a char owner. /s) Anyways, I always say that Quattros are the ideal starter breed of Char, due to their mostly-docile temperament. CCAs, however, need a great deal of training and socialization, which I know a lot of casual Char owners can't afford to provide. Sadly, this has led to many CCAs turning aggressive and getting the breed as a whole classified as dangerous in a lot of jurisdictions. (They're kinda like the "bully breeds" of dogs.)

Meteor

Male Full Frontal

Age: 27

While I normally do not condone getting Full Frontals due to the problems with the breed (see above), a friend gave me Meteor because they were moving to a place which did not allow Chars in the lease (an unfortunate truth in many places) and I couldn't say no. Even if he is getting on in the years (the average Char lifespan is 33 years), he is still one of the most amazing Chars I have ever taken care of. However, last month he started to become more lethargic and nipped me when I tried to pet him (an action he usually enjoys). I'm planning to take him to the vet soon to see what's up with him.

Ceres

Female mutt (with 0079 and CCA features)

Age: 1½ years

Last but not least, Ceres was a stray Char pup who was rejected by her mother. I found her in my front lawn in critical condition and I just had to take her in because I couldn't let a newborn Char die like that, and bottle-fed her and nursed her back to health. She's currently in her "teen phase" (Chars fully mature at 2 years old) and is starting to test her boundaries. She often gets zoomies and even scratched Hallie Jr. once (she's probably learned her lesson now). However, she's still as sweet as the day I took her in!

Random Char facts and tips:

Chars only started being imported to the western world in the past 25 years. Before that, they were popular pets in Japan and other East Asian countries, hitting their stride in the late seventies, although a small portion of Chars were imported to Italy around the early eighties in the hopes of starting a fad, although they never caught on back then.

CHARS AND CLOWNS DO NOT GO TOGETHER!! I've seen so many Chars get surrendered to shelters because they attacked or even killed clowns, one of their NATURAL PREY SOURCES. Come on.

Chars are facultative carnivores. In the wild, they prey on not only clowns, but also deer and other large herbivores. But domesticated Chars will still be as happy eating small animals such as live mice as they would chasing down a deer in the wild.

Please do not keep attack/guard Chars, especially CCAs. The training to turn them into one cannot be done in a way that does not involve abuse. Please get a functioning security system.

You may have noticed that Chars are horny AF. It's a survival strategy: Chars mate with anything and everything as wild mother Chars have a tendency to reject or even eat their offspring. Thankfully for Char breeders, domesticated Chars have had this behavior almost entirely bred out of them.

Chars are pregnant for 6 months and usually give birth to a litter of 4-9 Char pups.

Anyways, good luck in your own Char breeding and owning adventures!

I really hope Tate’s arrest is one small step towards destroying the super depressing ‘pickup artist’ community that’s been developing over the past five years
