I like to think Hiccup has whole 'conversations' with Toothless that are essentially incomprehensible to anyone but them (they consist of little human language–mostly draconic noises and body language as well as signals/cues specific to Hiccup and Toothless) the other riders are used to it at this point, but a lot of people are very much not and find it incredibly confusing.

Its started a lot of rumors of Hiccup being some 'dragon whisperer' that can actually speak to and command them and the other riders tease him about it relentlessly because he despises the rumors and always tries to correct them. Like every time they're brought up he'll say something along the lines of "No. If u actually pay attention to and connect with them, adapting to their way of communication isn't hard. I don't actually speak with them ur just not observant enough" and is constantly ignored

(This is kind of a follow-up to another post but I didn't want to tack it onto a rb)

Look.

Ace Attorney fandom.

I know why people don't like Turnabout Bigtop. I am among the people who dislike Turnabout Bigtop.

But I GET why people like the case. I'm not going to be one of those annoying people who just blindly dump on it because I hate those mfs too.

Thing about Bigtop isn't that it sucks. Thing isn't the weird grooming stuff (though that is a huge part of it). It's not that it could've been good.

It's that - in my personal OPINION - it could have been *great*.

I think it had the potential to be one of the best third cases in the trilogy. It had everything; a fun and goofy setting fit for a pretty dang goofy lawyer game - where the environment itself had jokes and quips and one-liners and mishaps and tomfoolery written all over it, it had the previous case introducing a very interesting and important plotline that gave background for one of the more well-loved characters while also introducing an equally fucked up and lovable new one who was a child forced into a shit childhood of naivete in a CIRCUS with another character who was very naive and childish - whose interactions could have been funny and cute and reflective of said shit from the previous case (seriously she becomes such an important character in the 4th case, WHY would they not include her in this one for some character development? How did they fuck up letting a CHILD explore a CIRCUS?? That would have made the interactions flow MUCH better).

They had a pretty good, sympathetic killer imo, a morally dubious victim, an asshole of a client (who was pretty flat admittedly in-game, but I like his weird, topsy-turvy reasoning for it in the anime. Also, I think Max being kinda a dick would have bode well for the themes of Farewell since most of his clients up to this point have been like...nice? Not nice, but sympathetic, but him having to defend someone who's innocent but a prick would have shown him that just because someone is an asshole, doesn't mean they deserve to suffer for it and that they have the potential to grow as people, which is almost a complete opposite of what Matt was. Ultimately, I would have loved the contrast of them as clients and I think it would have also served as character development for Phoenix, especially with his low-empathy tendencies).

They just didn't think that far ahead. They just didn't execute it well enough. They just decided to make three of the adult characters fight for the hand in marriage of a teenage girl. (Bat's part of the story was actually kinda good if he was just YOUNGER, I think him doing that for Regina would have been a stupid thing someone in the circus would do to impress their crush. Damn you Ace Attorney and your weird treatment of underage girls!!)

It just flopped and that's ok.

Even though it kinda sucked, it can still mean something to me.

Also I'm a Moe Curls apologist. I liked him, shut up.

HOKAY SO

Murderhouse Makeover: Decorate houses and hide evidence for wealthy clients!

You play Taylor, a fresh-faced interior designer looking to break into the field. Luckily, a high-end real estate company takes interest in your portfolio! Less luckily, this company specializes in houses owned by murderers. Rich murderers.

At least the pay is good..?

(Taylor’s the purple one)

Keep your clients happy by using their favourite styles of furniture, following any special requests they have, and staying within budget. And, of course, making sure no one finds the evidence.

Paul is your new boss. He finds your clients and signs your paychecks. He does most (all) of the talking, gives hints if you're stuck, but otherwise leaves the dirty work to you.

What would you do for your dream job? If the answer is "anything short of killing a guy myself", this is (will be) the game for you!

(shoutout @bedruil for giving me half a chance to ramble lol)

sorry this is once again my monthly 'i'm in love with people and our capacity for compassion even in the face of deep deep cruelty, even though i've seen worse and worse things, come to terms with so much, it's my love of humanity that has let me avoid rotting, encouraged me to grow and chase my own place in helping everyone around me" post

Important note I'm realizing as I edit the next installation; unless things are specifically stated, it's safe to assume that there is a solid few weeks, if not months, between stories!

what favorite experiences or places or toy's of mav's do you most look forward to introducing to your puppy? what advice or lessons from mav will most benefit your beautiful budding relationships with future dogs?

I have so many fun hiking and walking trails I'm excited to introduce to the puppy, it'll be really cool to see what she likes best (Marlo's favourite being big lakes, Mav's favourite being grasslands, and Pike's favourite being dry sand or dirt).

I'm really interested to see how I balance "letting the puppy be a puppy" and "training foundations while the puppy is still a sponge". With Mav I had no clue what I was doing and no clue what I wanted anything to look like, so I was mostly noodling around doing the bare minimum and fixing problems as they came up. I have a much better idea of what I want for finished behaviours and a much better idea on how to get there, but I'm also a big fan of letting puppies be puppies with low expectations and pressure. It'll be cool to see how that plays out in the new puppy.

Thinking About Sunnyyyy not even sexy im just pondering his issues [under cut for all kinds of abuse & trauma & mental issues & shit]

even after everything his dad put him through. being abusive & neglectful to him his whole childhood esp after his mom died, deliberately almost letting him die, telling him flat out from a young age that he didnt want him and outwardly favoring his siblings, saying endless awful things to him about his disabilities & his sickliness & his sexuality, essentially disowning him & refusing any of sunnys attempts to be friendly to him, making him feel like an unlovable burden from the day he was born, etc . sunny is way too forgiving & would make up with him in a heartbeat if he had the chance. if his dad was ever like Alright. I Change My Mind About You. You Can Be My Son. he would totally just throw the past behind him & embrace him fully. he wants his dads love so bad he would accept it even if he knew it was fake as hell. i think its the #2 thing he wants most in the world, #1 being his mom back

& like his adhd is a big part of why hes so sensitive & afraid of rejection but part of it also is that deep down hes convinced its his fault his dad was so awful to him & hes afraid his friends partners etc will and/or do feel the same way & hes afraid that hes just fundamentally bad & unlikable. even tho he knows hes superficially cute & charming & charismatic hes afraid that anyone who gets too close will start to see whatever his dad saw & get tired of him. this does not stop him from forming relationships with his whole heart but it Does make him worry about it. hes good at hiding these feelings tho he doesnt wanna worry anybody & he knows its not fair to his friends to project that insecurity onto them (even tho talking about it would probably help) so he pretty much just keeps it bottled up. he will get therapy someday
