good day @divinit3a, and SURPRISE- I WAS YOUR SECRET VALENTINE!

hooray!! :DD

I love these boys' designs, bc I personally haven't seen anyone keep them as animatronics while also making them something else, like with these and your yeti designs! I love that detail so much!!

The setting isn't super clear as I probably should have asked if the Pizza Plex for this AU is like an aquarium or if they have a big open spot of ocean that they're using, so I left it up to the viewer's interpretation. And I added a lil, generic handler/worker Y/N too :)

These were so much fun to draw and I got so excited that I was able to draw for you bc your artstyle and concepts are beautiful and amazing to stare at. I have a good meal every time you post new DCA art!

I hope you enjoy and happy valentines (and ofc don't forget to click/tap for better quality bc tumblr really squashed this one) ^^

AND LASTLY:

here's a ver without all the lighting effects so you can see the colors and details better!

The Tibetan Mastiff: Your Own Personal Himalayan Yeti (But Friendlier)

Forget those mythical beasts guarding snowy peaks – the Tibetan Mastiff is the real deal. This ancient giant boasts a lineage older than your grandma's favorite rocking chair, and their loyalty runs deeper than a Himalayan crevasse. But before you start digging a moat for your new best friend, let's break down the good, the giant, and the fluffy of owning a Tibetan Mastiff.

From Nomadic Guardians to Living Legends

Imagine a world without fences. That was life for Tibetan nomads, who relied on these colossal canines to guard their herds from hungry predators and sketchy characters. These weren't your average guard dogs – Tibetan Mastiffs were basically furry fortresses, with a booming bark that could scare away a yeti (or at least make it reconsider its snack choice). Today, they're still revered symbols of good luck and protection, but with way less yak wrangling involved.

A Gentle Giant with an Independent Streak

Tibetan Mastiffs are as loyal as they are large. They bond deeply with their families, offering unwavering devotion (think best friend who also happens to be the size of a small pony). However, their independent streak is real. The Cane Corso can also be as large as these gentle giants. These pups aren't pushovers – they're thinkers who need early socialization to avoid becoming suspicious of strangers. Think of them as the chill bodyguards of the dog world – they'll keep an eye out, but won't necessarily attack first (unless you mess with their humans, then all bets are off).

Living with a Mountain Guardian: Not for the Faint of Leash

Owning Tibetan Mastiff Puppies is like having your own personal mountain lion (but way cuddlier). These giants need ample space to roam and stretch those long legs. Forget tiny apartments – a fenced-in yard with secure boundaries is a must-have. Grooming is a breeze (think one or two good brushings a week), but bath time might require a team effort (or a professional groomer).

Keeping Your Gentle Giant Healthy:

Tibetan Mastiffs have a lifespan of 10-12 years, but their size can make them prone to certain health issues like hip dysplasia and bloat. Regular vet checkups, a healthy diet, and keeping them at a good weight are key to a long and happy life for your furry giant.

Training Your Himalayan Companion: Respect is Key

Tibetan Mastiffs are smart, but their independent streak can make traditional training methods a challenge. Positive reinforcement with treats and praise is your best bet. The Neapolitan Mastiff needs quite a bit of training as well. They're eager to please their trusted handlers, so positive vibes go a long way. Early socialization is crucial to prevent fearfulness or aggression later in life. Think of it as teaching them proper mountain etiquette – gotta know how to interact with other creatures (especially the smaller ones).

Who Should Adopt a Tibetan Mastiff?

These aren't your average lapdogs. The ideal owner has an active lifestyle and a house that resembles a small castle (with a secure yard, of course). Experience with large breeds is a plus, as their size and strength require a confident and capable handler. Families with older children who understand canine behavior can find a loyal companion in a Tibetan Mastiff. But first-time dog owners and those living in cramped spaces might want to consider a smaller guardian, like a fluffy chihuahua.

A Loyal Companion with a Storied Past

If you can provide the space, care, and consistent training a Tibetan Mastiff requires, the rewards are epic. Their unwavering loyalty, independent spirit, and majestic presence make them cherished companions. The English Mastiff is also a wonderful companion as well. Owning a Tibetan Mastiff isn't just about having a dog; it's about welcoming a guardian, protector, and a living piece of Himalayan history into your life. Just be prepared for the endless supply of fur tumbleweeds and the occasional mistaken identity as a mythical beast (because, let's face it, they're pretty darn impressive).

In Conclusion

The Tibetan Mastiff is a breed unlike any other. Their colossal size embodies the spirit of the Himalayas, while their gentle heart offers unwavering companionship. Carefully consider the responsibilities involved in owning one of these majestic creatures. If you can provide the space, training, and love they deserve, a Tibetan Mastiff will reward you with a loyal friend and a guardian for life.

A Watchful Protector: For The Progression Of The Ages

Mastiffs, gentle giants with ancient roots, come in various breeds. Loyal guardians with calm temperaments, they require ample space, training, and experienced owners due to their size and strength. Though some breeds have wrinkles, all Mastiffs offer a lifetime of devotion.

TIPS FOR YOUR UPCOMING ALL-INCLUSIVE TRIP

Most all inclusive resorts have dress codes requiring long pants for men in some of their restaurants.  Check the website for your specific resort to see the requirements.  Some accept jeans and others do not.

Tipping is allowed at most resorts (Sandals​​ and Couples being the exception).  This is at your discretion.  Take small bills as they might not be able to change larger bills at the hotel.  They prefer money in the currency of their country but will accept US money as well.  Suggested Tipping Amounts:

Bar drinks $1 per drink

Waitstaff at buffet meals $2 per guest

Waitstaff at served breakfast/lunch $3 per guest

Waitstaff at served dinner $5 per guest

Luggage handlers $2 per bag

Drivers $5-10

Daily Housekeeping $5 – I like to leave it on the table with a note so they know it's for them.  I do this daily as you might have different housekeepers each day.

Room Service $3 per guest ordering

The frozen drink cups served at the pool are generally pretty small.  Take an insulated mug for your frozen drinks (like a YETI cup).  The bartenders will make your drink right into your mug and you won’t find yourself waiting for a drink as often.

Please use the safe in your room for valuables.  It is very rare that something would come up missing but why take the risk?  If you have an item too large for the safe (laptop etc) lock it in your suitcase after you unpack.

Pack a small can of bug spray.  Mosquitos can be a problem in the tropics and it can be expensive to purchase bug spray at the resort.

Rooms are generally not ready until 3 pm.  Make sure you pack a swimsuit and sunscreen in your carry on so you can enjoy the pool/beach when you arrive.  The bellmen will hold your luggage until your room is ready .

No need to pack towels.  Towels will be provided by the resort.

Pack some Tums or Immodium in your bag.  Most resorts filter their water but any time you travel and are eating foods that are out of your norm there is a risk of catching a bug.  Typically this won’t last long but be prepared just in case.

Sunscreen is expensive at the resort so make sure you pack plenty of it. Biodegradable sunscreen protects the reefs so when possible use that.  Some excursions like the Cenotes require it.  Don’t forget lip balm with SPF.

Depending on your resort some restaurants require reservations and others don’t accept reservations at all.  Ask when you check in what policy your resort has if they don't tell you.

If you have a lot of electronics, pack a power strip.  Most Mexico, DR and Jamaica resorts will have an outlet that doesn’t need to be converted.

Notify your credit card companies that you will be traveling out of the country.  If you don’t travel very often they could flag your transactions as fraud and lock your card.

hartnell was still transferred to the terror, but he's pretty normal around non-humans and doesn't prescribe to the anti-non-human sentiment that most humans do. he does take a bit to adjust to life on the terror, though, but who wouldn't when the ice master on board is an abominable snowman?

hickey is pretending to be non-human, despite being 100% human. not sure what he's pretending to be yet, but he doesn't belong on the terror.

the stewards are the creepiest non-humans on board, according to literally every single man working on the terror. jopson is a shadow figure who is rarely seen by anyone outside of crozier, the lieutenants, and the other stewards. he's mostly "seen" in the peripheral of some of the men on board, but the second they turn towards him, he's gone. he also has sharp teeth that are only visible when he smiles bc im a feral jopson believer. tommy is a hellhound (who can shift between man and dog form for the sake of the story), and most of the men aboard avoid him because of it. hellhounds have a reputation for being violent, evil creatures who bring death with them wherever they go. when you look in tommy's eyes, you get an impending sense of dread as the knowledge that he knows exactly when and how you're going to die washes over you. he can sense, and on occasion see, death. he'll sometimes get visions of how someone's going to die, which is why he was placed on the terror in the first place. to sense if death was approaching. he's mostly tame, but thats because jirv has taken up the role as his "handler," and has helped mellow him out a bit. this whole au did, in fact, start as a tozirvitage thing. billy is a caladrius, a bird from mythology that is said to not look at anyone ill or dying, but who is able to cure sickness. in his human form, he has big white wings that touch the floor and flow behind him, and has feathers along his back and neck. most mistake him for an avian (like jirv, hodgeson, and peglar), so they dont really process that he's avoiding looking at them because they're already dying of lead poisoning, scurvy, or zinc deficiency. once the knowledge of what he is starts to spread, the men on board get really paranoid around him, regarding him with the same caution they do tommy.

all the marines of the terror are werewolves, and they're a solid pack that's been working together for years now.

theres mostly humanoid creatures on board, but there are a few more unnatural or eldritch looking creatures working on the terror. blanky, for example, is a yeti.

au idea:

the crew of the terror are all some sort of supernatural creature while the crew of the erebus are all human

REVIEW

Cozy Up to Terror by Colin Conway

Cozy Up #7

I absolutely ADORE Beauregard Smith. His name may change along with his job and location but he remains true to type – the strong, silent, stalwart type – that has to rely on old skills though he’d much rather turn over a new leaf. Love him…but not quite like Sophia in the story did.

What I liked:

* Dayle Flanders: born Beauregard Smith, in WITSEC, moves often, trouble magnet, working as a custodian in an amusement park, has enemies after him, reader of mysteries, cat lover, grows in every book, still has a hankering to get see Daphne Winterbourne again.

* Eckleberry: FBI agent that Beau first met and turned rat for, perhaps the best of the government supervisors so far

* The laughs and fun and puns

* Yango the Yeti-Abominable Snowman and escapades he gets up to

* Sophia the ditzy dame at the amusement park with her much more intelligent daughter

* Getting to catch up with Beau and see how he is doing – also finding out his new “handler” is probably inept and going to be trouble in the future

* Thinking about how badly things went and hoping that in REAL life the US Marshals and FBI would be a whole lot more savvy

* Wondering where Beau will end up next and what kind of scrape he will have to deal with

* So much in this story was noteworthy but…advise you start with book one and read them all!

What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* Knowing that I will have to wait for awhile to find out what happens in book 8.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Definitely

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

COZY MYSTERIES JUST GOT TOUGHER.

Hiding in the witness protection program has never been so hard—or so funny!

Beau Smith is living a lie, but it’s one the U.S. government created. As a former enforcer for the Satan’s Dawgs, Beau Smith committed crimes as acts of loyalty to the motorcycle club. When the FBI discovered Beau’s only weakness, they used it to turn him into the thing he dreaded most—a rat.

Now, Beau is hiding under an assumed name and looking over his shoulder. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to disguise a muscular man covered in tattoos, especially when he has a penchant for trouble.

Cozy Up to Terror arrives August 1, 2023.
