#target training

Gaia went all in on her modelling job of our new target stick 😂

She definitely approves.

They can be found here!

Finally target trained the Tustard Man

Throughout this process he broke my stick because he thought the aim of the game was to chew it so he just casually split my stick in two

The most gentle strike! Crawley’s first meal after his first brumation. He’s such a sweetheart!

Atypical Body Target Training - Hind End Targeting

Aka I'm teaching my service dog to booty bump doors and drawers shut because he already likes to do this particular behavior so now it's going on a cue bay-bay

I dearly wish I had a target stick right now but we're making this work with my hand

Currently he has the cue down to target my hand with his ass and now we're transitioning to targeting soft pieces of furniture before transferring it to a door.

Bonus happy chupacabra at the end as I throw him a toy reward

do u have any navi thoughts from your oot replay

i've been waiting to answer this until I actually beat the game in my current playthrough because navi is another one of those characters that i think of in like a "set" with several other characters who serve relatively the same thematic purpose; in this case that purpose being the "mother" character, and i wanted to have all the characters in that set fresh in my mind. it's notable that while oot shows us very clear and consistent instances of the ways in which the adults of hyrule fail to protect their children, there ARE several adults who DO go out of their way to both oppose ganondorf and protect and nurture the children under their care. All of these characters are adult women, and all of them explicitly help the children out of some sort of parental responsibility or sense of duty towards them. in this group I include link's late mother, impa, nabooru, and navi.

all 4 mother characters, despite being adults or adult-coded, reject the inaction mentality which characterizes other adults in the game. they become either direct supports or shields to their children from the conflict the world has to offer them, and they are always explicitly punished for their interference--link's mother is killed trying to protect her son, impa's village is burned, nabooru is brainwashed. The mother's fatal flaw is that she will protect her child above all else, even in a world in which children cannot truly be protected. however, with the exception of link's mother, these characters manage to persist even in the face of her punishment, and this is where I think navi becomes the exemplary character.

Navi, after a lifetime of being link's only support system, the only adult in his life he could truly, consistently count on, receives her punishment at the hands of ganondorf--in the final battle, she is pushed out. she is unable to reach her child. she cannot protect him. However, BECAUSE link has grown up with her at his side, he is strong enough to take ganondorf down. and when ganon rises again, navi is there to support link, promising not to leave his side, and the intuitive targeting of that battle (a mechanic which navi is inherently tied to!!) makes it a cinch to win. Navi, and the other mothers we meet, are a reminder to the player that the world doesn't HAVE to be the way it is. Their persistence when punished, their insistence that their children ought to be protected, is a reminder that good adults do exist, and that good adults raise good children. link and zelda are able to win in spite of the adults who refused to help them, but also BECAUSE of the adults who DID. It's a reinforcement of the core theme of oot--that childlike idea that the world SHOULD be good and fair and if it isn't, it should be changed until it is. The mothers of oot are examples of what the world COULD be, reminders that it is possible to grow up without losing hope or growing bitter, and they are examples of the next step for the children they've raised to change the word--to continue fighting even in the face of punishment, to refuse inaction, and to foster that same hope and persistence in the generations to come.

Getting back into our stretching routine. Mary definitely needs a refresher on manners, and so getting back into active training and using her brain for good and not evil is something I need to reprioritize. I've definitely been slacking on her with the winter, and it's catching up to me with some bad behavior on her end 😬

But she picked back up with her stretches like a champ, very smart and resourceful. You can tell i'm really half-assing the whole day, my outfit is thrown together and I didn't even bother grabbing a treat pouch. She had been moving around quite a bit before this though, so i wanted to take advantage of her muscles already being warmed up for stretches, so it was one of those last minute training sessions for sure.

I know it's fiction but it makes absolutely no sense for the batfam not to have any significant (visible) scars/disabilities at all. They get beat up nightly for years on end. They leap over buildings all the time, they've never fucked up their knee? Knees are so easy to fuck up and difficult to fix. Dick is an acrobat, they have notoriously bad joint health and at his age he shouldnt be able to pull off half the shit he does. Absolutely ridiculous they have no scars or brain damage. THEY DONT WEAR HEAD PROTECTION OF ANY KIND. They're getting punched in the face, thrown off of buildings etc etc ALL THE TIME. No brain damage?? No CTE??? Not even missing teeth?? Give me a fucking break.

how I look after posting rarepair art waiting for my rarepair mutuals/followers to see it

[thedawningofthehour]

Guys I do way too much research for this fic I'm looking up subway stuff and like

MY DUDE WHAT IS THIS.

I'm seriously crying, I know it's probably much more straightforward if you have more than a TMNT and Brooklyn 99 fan's knowledge of the city, but to me this looks like witchcraft. It looks like you'd need a PhD to decipher this.

Because this is what I'm coming from.

I took one of these trains last week to go to a baseball game. That's it, that's the light rail in my city. It's a straight fucking line and my mother was still confused.

I was wrong about the identity of the stallion who played Ihuarraquax!
