How a Tiny Travels (Ideas)

Climbing:

Ofc every tiny needs a good way to climb, and my primary thought goes to grappling hooks fo sho. Probably made out of actual fishing hooks and attached with corded string XD

Maybe customized shoes with sticky/grippy bottoms like those people who use suction cups to climb skyscrapers XDDD

awhh would a tiny have a little case of gripping chalk so they could hold onto handholds better when climbing?

Somehow an equivalent of a parachute in their backpack in case of a big fall XD. Like basically just a handkerchief that billows out and is attached to the sack with a few strings

Via giant. Period.

But to elaborate, one option is on the shoulder ;3. Tiny can lean against giant's neck or hold onto their ear/earing for stability

The hand. Obvi. Shenanigans have a high chance of ensuing.

Chest pocket. Mmmghhh. AKA the nap spot.

Lawful Chaotic of hoodie pockets, Chaotic Neutral of backpack side-pockets, and Chaotic Evil of pants pockets XDDD

On top of giant's head. Very comfy, much floof. Giant probably will not appreciate the amount of hair pulling that will most definitely be happening up there

Fast Travel:

Roomba. (juuuust make sure tiny can't get sucked in underneath *thumbs up*)

Toy cars except the remote is set up on the car's dash so tiny can control it themselves ;3

Stairway bannisters - AKA the forbidden slide for going from an upper floor to a lower! (And a guaranteed way to give a giant a heart attack! <3)

Pets. Kitties or doggos. Risky beezneez this can be, but the rewards are pretty stellar if tiny makes a good fren outta them~

In the air:

BIRBS - highkey could be scary cuz some birds definitely look like they'd monch on a tiny, but the image of a tiny riding on an owl's back is just - so cute to me

Balloons. Unghhghhhgh. Supervised by their giant ofc. It'd be like a whole hot air balloon except it's just a helium one cuz tinies weigh literally nothing. And a whole paper basket to tie at the bottom for them to ride innnnn yesssss

A drone??? Somehow??? hA like a mini plane/helicopter for tiny

One of those gliding suits like a flying squirrel XD

-

Mannnn this. Why can't I be in a world with tinies, huh????

... I WANNA BE ONE OF THEM OKAY TRANSMIGRATE ME ALREADY

ehehe ignore that. Uh. Ye so here've been a buncha travel methods that I've thought of for a tiny! ;D

[yandere-writer-momo]

How would the guys act with an accident prone, chaotic S/O? Like the type of person (such as myself) who drops things all the time, embarrasses themselves regularly in public, and doesn’t always use common sense. Happy go lucky?? They’re the type of person that the mom friend is always concerned about

Alright you little roomba. From most to least helpful to your zoomies and clumsiness.

Yandere Baki Head Canons

Jack would baby proof everything. He would round the edges on every sharp surface and he’d make sure there is nothing on the floor for you to trip on. No cords. No holes. Nothing like that in the house. He just picks you up and puts you in air jail so you don’t fall. It’s even more embarrassing because he makes you feel like a little koala bear hanging on him.

Baki would guide you away from anything you’d trip on or bump into. And he’s smooth about it. Hell just put a hand on your hip and pull you to the other side of him. He would make sure you don’t embarrass yourself

Retsu is the concerned mom friend. He put a leash on you so you stop exploring things. Retsu also uses his keys to get your attention (jingle jangle). Retsu is not going to let you hurt or embarrass yourself. He might also have a little spray bottle to spray you if you start being a gremlin

Katsumi has ADHD. He’s running around with you except he’s not bumping into things. He probably laughs at you all the time whenever you trip but he makes sure you don’t fall. He’s a little sweetie

Hanayama would just look at you when you trip and fall for a solid minute before asking you if you’re okay. He probably won’t let you go outside anymore if you keep falling. He hopes it’s not a serious medical condition or something (you’re just clumsy). If he could, he’d wrap you in bubble wrap

-chevy malibu’s handgun-

was this meticulously crafted romance

not written by fingers longing for hands that

will seize, intentionless of release?

it’s been a long time since i stepped into a grandmother’s garden

and sung the song of the

umbilical cord of the cleaning robot, an aquatic roomba

like guinea fowl chicks and their dangling fishing rods

do you ever feel your past lives stir about you

a harmonization with the air raid siren?

do you truly believe that your jackbooted missiles

will be enough to quell a kraken?

tiger seals feasting on a banquet of prawns

preening in their orange and black pelts

sand pipers delineate a sand dollar tide

then in the eve, when the birdhouse hangs over the geraniums

i shall always be a five year old girl

curled up, occupying the corner of his bed

laying beneath him, quilted in the tornado shelter

like the skeletal outline of a teenager that

a fox makes its lair, heedless of

that last kiss that sloughed seared skin from my jaw.

[thepaladog]

blah blah humans will packbond with anything but let me tell you it SMACKS of creature when you're trying to discourage a roomba from going into a certain corner but it keeps bumping up against your hand like "pls??"

no you cannot go into the forbidden cords corner, you little electronic beastie, the cords are bad for you

[ironmars]

My sister bought this like off brand less expensive roomba vacuum bot and named it Norman and I thought he was so cute at first but then I grew to fucking hate him because he sucks! He always got stuck under things and sucked up cords sometimes fucking up my charger cords so i had to replace them and he got lost all the time he was a menace and then he kept getting stuck so much I swear it messed with his circuits idk he started getting all screwy and would act like he's drunk and not vacuum right ugh he was my fuckin nemesis!!! lol so once he finally broke completely I was like yes fuck you Norman!!!! And then my sister opened the door one day to a new delivery and is like yay the new vacuum bot is here! And I'm like NOOOOO!!!!!!! She named her Tina. fuck you Tina you aint getting a welcome from me bruh I already hate you. And of course not even 30 minutes after setting Tina loose in the house my sister is like wait I haven't seen tina where is she?? I'm like idk maybe she ran away I wish she did. Well no one could find her but a while later I go into the bathroom and there she fuckin is! Stuck! Wedged between the wall and the sink! She's just like her dumb idiot brother norman!!!!! And I was like😑 TINA. MY NEW ARCH NEMISIS. 😑

[nsomniacsdream]

I know I shouldn't anthropomorphize my off-brand roomba, but I will never stop myself from whistling and snapping my fingers at him when he starts chewing on cords, even tho I have rhe remote right next to me so I can make him drop it and keep vacuuming

[eeeeeeeemakesstuff]

roomba adventures

my roomba, lovingly named dusty is akin to an orange cat. He needs supervision as he will try and eat that in which he should not [cables, the dog, my feet] and go places he should not [outside]

However I am also vacuumimg, he tries eating what he could mistake as his grandmother [my corded vacuum]

I feed him and yet he is ungrateful.

It sucks.

[greedlr]

Sir please get some cord organizers. There are some pretty good ones you can get off amazon, or if you dont want to support a massive corrupt company you can maybe look for some at Staples. I dont know. Send one of your roombas out

You say this,

and yet you are always so thankless

when I organize all of your various cords for you.

'I can't accurately test when my right thigh is zip-tied to my left elbow' you say.

Selfish. Selfish and disorganized_

TAG GAME TUESDAY! I was tagged by @celestialmickey @metalheadmickey and @juliakayyy and I adore them all.

name: They called me KO before I got married because of my initials, and my ability as a knockout in the sack (I kid, I kid...kind of)

age: adult.

pronouns: she/her

tell me about one of your hobbies: I make bundt cakes all the time and am finally learning how to make other cakes as well, but I still can't frost for shit. Not that I've tried much. But I'm learning.

what languages do you speak? English. More Spanish than I give myself credit for (I can understand a lot of it and don't trust my speech, but if I can relax I can piece together some things) and I'm learning Norwegian on Duolingo sort of.

one of your comfort movies: Rushmore

do you have any kids? do you want any? I have them and wanted them, but I don't think I grasped the full scope of what it means to be a parent. At first it's like "oh, a baby!" and then you realize you are helping shape the history of a person who will be an adult and it's a LOT of fucking pressure.

cold weather or hot weather? hot, which is helpful since I live in a sometimes swelteringly hot city

you're at an amusement park. what ride are you going on first? The last time I tried that I did the swings and I almost had a panic attack, literally. I can't handle any rides anymore without feeling like I'm gonna faint or die.

what's your go-to hairstyle/how do you wear your hair most days? I pull it back and slick a clip in it. I feel like time is nigh to shave it all off again, but I'm fighting the urge because growing out a buzz is my least favorite thing.

who was your top artist in your spotify wrapped/apple music replay in 2022? I honestly can't remember!

you've just been handed $1000 but you have to spend it on clothes. where are you shopping? I'm not really into clothes much for myself. I have two pairs of the same jeans, three pairs of the same shorts, and multiple black shirts and black tank tops. It's literally like a uniform. I'm Suuuuper picky about fabrics, tags, the "feel" of material now. That said, I do love fashion, and love digging at the thrifts, so I'd be picking out clothes for others there!

wireless or corded headphones? corded even though I'm always accidentally yanking them out of my ears when they catch on something.

finally, tell me something that sparks joy: how much my dog Alvin likes the Roomba and how sad he gets when it's charging.

I'm gonna tag @michellemisfit and anyone else who wants to play!

Knock out Dust and Allergens from Floors and Indoor Air

Vacuum cleaners are a convenience that many of us have come to rely on. From corded and cordless vacuums to upright and canister vacuums, Sears has much to offer in terms of appliances that help maintain living spaces in tip-top condition.

Choose from a Wide Collection

Shark, Bissell, iRobot and other trusted brands offer their latest in vacuum cleaners. Cordless vacuum cleaners offer the convenience of mobility, which is limited with corded vacuums since you’ll have to switch power points around the house, restaurant or office to clean different rooms. However, corded vacuums have a higher dust collecting capacity when compared to cordless ones. In addition, the canister doesn't need to be emptied frequently, which limits your exposure to allergy-causing particles. Try the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Speed Upright Vacuum with Self-Cleaning Brush Roll for unbelievable maneuverability on bare floors, carpets and furniture. The self-cleaning brush roll removes hair nonstop, while Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology and a HEPA filter zap dust and indoor allergens.

A portable vacuum is a smart choice since you it lets you clean a mess wherever it’s made. The Bissell 2033 Featherweight Lightweight Stick Vacuum is one such appliance that converts into a hand vacuum in a single step, letting you store or transport it easily. Weighing as little as 3lb, this machine has a dirt cup that’s easy to empty and a versatile crevice tool for corners and narrow spots.

Clean with Next-Gen Technology

Robotic vacuums go a step further to simplify housekeeping and give you more time to do other chores or enjoy some downtime. If you suffer from joint or mobility issues, using a robot makes sense. Powered with wi-fi, these vacuum cleaners like the iRobot ROOMBA675 R675020 Roomba 675 Robot Vacuum with Patented Dirt Detect sensors, are compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and other Smart devices, and can do almost all the work of cleaning on their own. This self-charging machine can sense differences in surfaces and adjust accordingly. Irrespective of hardwood or carpet floors, the robot can comfortably suck in any debris, small or large. You can track the vacuum even when you're not home using the iRobot HOME app on your smartphone and come back later to see thoroughly cleaned floors.

Filters are essential for the proper functioning of any vacuum cleaner. HEPA filter kits are high performing and trap microbes and even the finest particles as small as 0.3 microns. Other attachments like brush rolls, motor belts, hoses, crevice tools, cleaning pads and replacement bags are always available on Sears. You can find the exact part needed for any of the popular vacuum cleaners.

Tough on Stains

Stuck with heavily stained carpet floors? Read about carpet cleaners like the Bissell portable carpet cleaner with 2 brush tools, which is a workhorse designed to remove stubborn spots and stains from upholstery, carpets, stairs and more. You can even check out specialty mops like the Shark 1.55kW pocket mop and other related options for floor cleaning.

Sears has got you covered with a large assortment of cleaners to keep your surroundings hygienic and neat.

A Review: The Way of the Househusband Vol. 1

Author: Kousuke Oono Illustrator: Kousuke Oono Publishers: Viz Media Age Group: Teen Genre: Slice-of-Life, Seinen, comedy Type: Manga

Content Warnings: Yakuza, hilarity, violence, unlearned expectations :P

Spoilers ahead

Plot

He was the fiercest member of the yakuza, a man who left countless underworld legends in his wake. They called him “the Immortal Dragon”. But one day he walked away from it all to travel another path—the path of the househusband! The curtain rises on this cozy yakuza comedy!

Character Development

Masa/Tacchan/the immortal dragon is just as serious about being a househusband as he was about being a yakuza. Now, instead of using his abilities for violence, he uses them to make sure his wife doesn’t have to worry about anything outside making money. As Masa says “The way of the Yakuza is also the way of the househusband”. He’s not afraid to use violence but he’s learned there are other ways to get the same results. 

World-building

We are in a contemporary setting. The world-building is mainly doing different short scenes of Masa’s daily life. One of my favorite ones is when his wife gets him a Roomba. He tests it out and tells it that it has to earn his trust. It doesn’t do very well as it tries eating cords and doesn’t get into the corners. When his wife forgets her lunch he puts it in a silver briefcase and tries to go after her. Of course, everything he does looks sketchy but the total opposite. 

Themes

Nothing is as it seems. Anyone can change their life no matter how dark their past. It doesn’t matter if you were the top of the drug world or a street urchin. There is always another path, even if you don’t see it. One of the greatest things is that from a simple interaction between him and his wife everything changed. He gave up the yakuza to be a househusband and finds joy in it. We can see this from the very cute bentos that he makes for his wife. He even goes to cooking community cooking classes to get better at it. 

Observations & Predictions

Masa’s past may come back to bite him in the ass. He won’t take it lying down. My bet is he’ll find ways besides using his fists to resolve issues. We’ve already seen a little bit of this when a former rival gets involved in his life. Masa gives him some gloves to thank him for helping out with the grocery shopping. It affects the rival by reminding him of his childhood. 

His former underling will turn more towards the way of the househusband instead of staying a delinquent. We see the beginnings of this in the first volume, even if his underling is on the lazy side. 

Other than those, it’ll just be a dude living his life, even if he is intimidating.

[frozenrose13]

context; bed is as high as it can go bc roomba gets tangled in cords otherwise. luna cat *hates* roomba bc roomba doesnt respond to her "pls go away" communications, bc roomba is (not roomba branded thats jsut its name) robot vaccuum.

thus, luna cat is hiding from roomba w me perched on bed XD

(im a bit stuck here until roomba leaves our room lmao)

[sequintial]

I'm getting SO good at following through on household improvement tasks. I unpacked this table that ostensibly held electronic misc, but was duplicating the task of the rolling cart next to my desk area, cleaned it off, AND mounted my router to the wall (bonus stage)! now the cords are mostly hidden by my yarn pegboard and nicely come together to the side of my yarn shelf storage, so there's nothing on the floor. It also means that that corner is now accessible to my roomba, and my A/C unit can now plug in nicely off the floor as well.

Now I just need to figure out which shelf to put the misc electronics and table I pulled out, and what to do with my sewing stuff that was in that corner too. Ideally the sewing stuff will go in general craft storage? Not sure if it'll end up there or with sewing machine storage.

Maybe table could go in my closet to hold sewing stuff? not sure how that would work out.
