sorry idk but the way the world is so fast and the people in it still want it to be faster is sooo annoying to me. people groaning while standing in line for 3 minutes people being mad the train ride is gonna take 2 hours people complaining that the bus is a few minutes late people being angry that construction work is taking months even though it used to take decades. don't you see the world is already so so so fast in every single aspect can't you understand that being mad will do nothing and just make your mood worse. enjoy the moments of stillness you're given. just stand in line and look at the people around you. sit on the train and watch the scenery. you'll get there.

#it's literally one of my main pet peeves not even sorry actually!!!!! esp ppl loudly complaining while standing in line or #when the train's like 2 minutes late coz it has to stop and ppl start yelling #hell even if it stops for 2 hours. who cares who cares who cares unless you're late for like a weeding or smtg who cares !!!! #literally just relax slow down. look at your phone idk #this one should be it's own post but like when people complain about budapest public transport it makes me so mad.... #bruhhh shit's on time 99% of the time and it's like. outstandingly good compared to any other city #hungarian infrastructure in general like are the trains the best NO but they get you pretty much anywhere for like 30 cents #calm down !!!!!!!!!! #barking #humans

it's thinking about qpr prison duo hours

#im on the swing #and im thinking about them #just. i think centross - esp in regards to qpr prison duo - would be the *only* person Icarus ever lets touch their wings #i think centross has this long list of fun pet names for ic; and ic just. doesnt. ic calls hims 'asshole' or 'centross' and thats it (/hj) #i think centross liked to put little braids into Icarus' hair #and i think centross would make sure ic know how much he loved them. #and i think ic would always find a way to refute that and Centross would find a way to refute the refute #and. i think centross absolutely put his cape/cloak around Icarus more than once on a bad day - and just kinda held em there gently #i think Icarus had a little nest somewhere in the wolftross house #sherbertquake56 #icarus morningstar #prison duo #fable smp #fsmp #a tag to help find my own posts

Andrei's eyes open, blinking away the haze of sleep as he turns towards the door. The length of the flickering candle on the wall telling him it's nearly morning, but not quite. It's not a nightmare that had woken him, so what could—

Crack.

All thoughts of sleep immediately flees him as his gaze whips to the basket sitting on the bedside table, at the egg laying atop the furs lining the basket.

The egg that now has a sizeable crack lining its width, almost like a split grin.

As Andrei watches, there is another soft crack, the grin widening a sliver as the occupant of the egg moves within the shell. He sinks to the floor by the bed, eyes level with the basket, and stays in that position, observing the process.

It takes longer than he expects, the slight movement every few seconds punctuated by stretches of silence in between. Fingers hover over the egg hesitantly, before withdrawing. All birds must hatch by their own power, isn't that right?

After an achingly long time, it finally tumbles out of the shell altogether in one motion, a tiny, bright pink little thing with a sparse covering of yellow feathers and pieces of broken eggshell stuck to its body. In the candlelight, he could just make out a pair of wings, a beak, a pair of eyes, tightly shut.

"...Cranberry," Andrei breathes, the name suddenly all too fitting for the newborn.

Then, a high-pitched squeal from the hatchling sends him immediately to his feet, and Andrei, basket in hand, is out of the door and heading towards the tunnel that leads out of the Abyss before any of the others in the dormitory could wake. The thought that he now had, not an egg, but a real, live, very small and vulnerable bird on his hands just now dawning in his mind.

He needs to go find Naesala immediately.

Congratulations! The egg has hatched!

#i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that #andrei as a noble raised in a time and setting where pigeons are still useful for communication esp in wartime #and for whom pigeon was the very first idea to come to mind when asked about what pet he'd like to have #would have roughly the same pre-research knowledge as someone in the 21st century with access to the internet #and a reasonable interest in animals not specific to pigeons #so i'll base his knowledge on what i knew about pigeons two weeks ago before i fell down the research hole in preparation for cranberry #➵ taking the reins (drabble) #➵ cranberry

i want a cat so bad

#maybe a dog but doggos seem like more work #idk if i could like. keep up with one #cats seem much more chill #theyre just Guys yknow #alas. my aunts definitely will not let me get one #im staying over with my mom rn (hence the posts about her) and thinking of moving in with her but #idk how she feels about cats #+ she lives in an apartment so theres pet rent #but im pretty sure if the creechur is registered as emotional support you dont need to pay it? #and i think i have enough mental illness to register a creechur /lh #but i dont want to burden her with a creechur esp if i end up not living with her full time yknow

[nereb-and-dungalef]

just gonna go ahead and say. giving kids pets that you don't know how to take care of is Probably Not teaching them the lessons you think it is

#i do kinda wonder how much of my attitudes toward death are because of this #the constant recurring dreams about animals dying are Definitely because of this lol #like. don't give ur kid a pet if you don't respect that pet's life. esp if it's the kid's only pet. they will care when it dies.

[queenofbaws]

if i had a nickel for every time an adult human being compared me to their dog when i explained to them that i have lyme disease, i'd have enough money to buy whatever i wanted at taco bell - and that's not a lot of money, of course, but it sure is weird that it's happened so many fucking times and just keeps happening

🙃

#im a medical mess #i get that someone telling you about an illness they're dealing with can be awk esp if you dont know what to say in response #but i feel like. a good rule of thumb. is not to compare their life to your pets'. just like. in general. #when it's a fucking medical provider. hoo boy. HOO BOY WHEN IT'S A MEDICAL PROVIDER IT HITS A CERTAIN KINDA WAY TOO. #in other news guess who had to go to the doc today

i feel like i'm an incredibly annoying person to have over at a house because if there is a pet in the house i will be paying way too much attention to them every time they are in the same room as me. i am unable to be normal about animals existing in the same space as me.

if you have a pet and i know about it, there will be at least 20% of my brain dedicated to thinking about how theres an animal on the property the entire time I am there.

if a cat walks in, i WILL look over at it for a few seconds and not pay any attention to a single thing anyone is saying. if a dog walks in, i WILL be trying to figure out if i can make friends with it in a way that doesn't make everyone roll their eyes at me.

#what growing up without a pet while desperately wanting a pet does to a man 😔😔😔 #I JUST LOVE ANIMALS AND I CANNOT EVER OWN ONE BECAUSE OF ALLERGIES #so i am trying to get my fix of being around an animal to make up for the huge gap in my soul sfjdsfjkl #i was meant to grow up on a farm surrounded by livestock and herding dogs i swear to god #i have farmers blood in my genetics in like three or four branches of my genetics #the other branch of genetics is the Metis and S.wampy Cree fdsjkl so idk much about the animal situation there #BUT OUGGHHHH every day i curse the allergies i have. luckily i'm not allergic to poodles but like... i cannot own one #in my current living situation. also financial situation fdsfjkl #and like... the chronic fatigue situation. SOBS. #i REALLY try to be normal about peoples pets when im over at other ppls houses (which is like. maaaybe once a year nowadays. so not often) #but oh my god the entire time i am just sitting there desperately wanting to make friends w their animal #esp when its a dog that doesn't get played with v often and Wants to play #i would play tug of war or fetch w your dog for hours i swear on my life i really would #and so many ppl are so annoyed w me for showing an interest in their animal 😭😭😭 #WHY DO YOU OWN A DOG IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH THEMMMMM #WHY DO YOU OWN A DOG IF YOU'RE NOT TAKING THEM OUT FOR WALKS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY #DOG OWNERS DRIVE ME UP A WALL.

I wish I could convince my family to get a puppy. I need companionship and having a puppy to take care of would be so good for me.

#Eli Speaks #i downloaded and then immediately uninstalled petfinder #i cant do this to myself #cause i know its not gonna happen #a) it's really expensive #and b) my parents (esp my mom) are p adamant about not getting another pet after losing maddie #i know it could me so much good #but ofc i cant really do anything that'll be beneficial to my mental health and life... #like i said yesterday #i just want a friend #and i know my parents would love it if we got a puppy #but convincing them would be an uphill battle #esp since i plan on moving back to ny #cause id want to be responsible for this dog #but moving 1000+ miles with a dog (and finding a place that allows dogs) is gonna be a whole thing #it's not impossible #but it def makes things harder #why is anything that can make me even a little happy so fucking hard

Me wanting to read the locked tomb books cuz certain things about them do seem interesting to me vs never ever EVER wanting to read them out of sheer spite because of how fucking obnoxious and pretentious literally every single post I have ever seen about them on tumblr.com is and if they are even remotely anything like the way 90% of ppl talk about them I do not think I will like them and I’ll just be pissed off

#I have one friend who has read them #and their opinions differ from like everyone else’s I have ever seen #and they’re the only person I trust regarding them lmao sorry literally everyone on this webbed site is stupid when it comes to media #esp media that has been labeled ‘deep’ and ‘subversive’ and ‘revolutionary’ #sry personal 0 to 100 rage inducing pet peeve is ppl being annoying and pretentious FUCKS about pieces of media #and something about locked tomb seems to trigger that in a lot of y’all #I get the sense it will be a nge rgu dmcb moment for me again #where I was promised all these things about how amazing and groundbreaking it is #and I’ll be left feeling like I need to tear my hair out because you read something dunked in fifty billion unnecessary metaphors and with #needlessly confusing storytelling techniques and thought that made it High Art without examining it any further #and not accepting any criticism of it whatsoever cuz criticism apparently just means someone is too stupid to get it #anyways #kaz rambles

I think its interesting fr staff is still extremely uncommunicative with the community. I don’t want a whole Q&A session or anything but a clear road map or even little updates would work. Gene fixes are obviously something that may need a general list and such cause wow that’s a hot topic recently.

A clearer and better direction with gene fixes is when a breed is released, look at the general bugs reported and then a list is made. Internal discussion about it refines the list and then to the community, you release a general list of the bugs seen on genes that will be fixed. No need for deadlines on this list, just make it so people are aware of it.

what you should NOT do is make a vague comment for a gene fix and also make that fix happen months after the gene/breed is out. Even if someone reported it on the bug fourms, its not exactly a good way to predict a fix being made. God there’s still issues with modern breed genes, there’s no general time frame atm.

#thats my two cents #i literally deal with clients that act like this #i think i made a post long long long time ago about how fr staff needs to stop acting like this is a little userbase pet site #a lot of people are on fr and you cant make mistakes like this esp for how old this site id #behave on this post or i learn how to remove reblogs btw #im not stirring anything up but its annoying to see devs not try to talk to their users

hi! i started following you when i found your veep posts after i finished the show! I've been enjoying your posts discussing the shiv pregnancy plotline and i love all of your analysis posts! ❤️ i'm also REALLY hoping they don't pull an amy plotline on this, but i don't think they will. and this message below got really long, i'm sorry!

i think shiv's plotline is also a new way to look at femininity and womanhood through her eyes. she's considering if it will hold her back professionally, and also how people may see it as an excuse to treat her differently or fragile bc of it -at least that's how i took the fall scene and her conversation with tom on the steps. it does seem like she might be trying to prove something to her mom. she also mentions their mom the most (maybe the same/more than roman does?) and their conversation last season in italy wrecked me, personally.

i don't always agree with shiv, but at those exact points it's just like the aspect and pain of how she's seen or treated differently bc she's a woman is emphasized and it stabs right through me. like, i get it. i can truly understand what it feels like, and they portray that perspective perfectly.

awww oh my god hi !!! so glad to have another veep expat onboard here there are disconcertingly few of us. and yes i completely nd totally agree -- i'm - gulp - maybe looking forward to the pregnancy plotline possibly?? like, do i trust succession to do it well? not entirely. but do i trust it more than any other show currently airing that i can think of? ummm yeah probably. i am also a known Complicated Female Character Aficionado and while i have always liked shiv a lot, for some reason i never quite resonated with her the way i have some other female characters -- not entirely sure why that is, maybe it's the wealth, but maybe it's the lack of focus on her inner life in prev seasons. not that she isn't complicated or interesting, but that a lot of what we know about her really only relates to her relationships with men and how she exists around them -- which is obviously an incredibly huge aspect of her character and the lives of women generally (i fuckin know it is for me), but we haven't seen much of who she is outside of that. and even if she's literally nothing outside of that, i still want to see and explore it, because that's character depth too (she's so wrapped up in roy-style masculinity that she literally doesn't know who she is outside of it etc).

to me, the most interesting shiv scenes have largely been the ones she shares with other women -- with gerri, with her lawyer friend, with the woman she talked out of coming forward about cruises, with fucking caroline?? like, there are just a lot of Career Women Who Shove Down Femininity To Exist In Masculine Worlds in television these days, and i just want to see some more interiority with shiv, because i know it's there, we get hints of it and it plays across snook's face in every scene. i'm not saying i want to be explicitly told every aspect of her life -- god, no, that would be an entirely different show -- but that i want some like focus on her, not her relationship with tom or logan or kendall or roman but something with the purpose of developing her. more than any other character on the show i feel like i just know so little about her life before, beyond, outside of waystar royco. and if there isn't stuff beyond that, then i want to see that too! i just think there is so much that could be done with shiv that hasn't been quite covered already (it is an ensemble show, after all) and i'm really hoping this plotline will kind of fill that void. maybe it won't, maybe it'll suck, but maybe it will be the deep dive into shiv i've been waiting for. praying and praying and praying succession does for shiv what i so desperately wanted veep to do for amy brookheimer fr <3

#ok so fun fact i accidentally ended up writing out like five more paragraphs of thoughts bc this is literally my Pet Issue i'm sorry yall #i will probably be posting that next as a separate thing LOL #so sorry for not shutting up about thsi everyone. but to be fair. you are literally asking ME the girl notoriously obsessed with narratives #about female characters who struggle with being perceived as female forced to reconcile with their gender and their relationship with it #and the fact that maybe they do desire 'feminine' things (like family/love/etc aka basic aspects of human life we have inexplicably dubbed #feminine and turned into like Death Pits for 'strong women') esp when thru especially humiliatingly 'feminine' (again - perceived as fem- #inine bc pregnancy isn't just feminine blah blah blah but the roys and their ilk sure fucking see it as such) experiences like pregnancy #you're asking ME to not be insane about a shiv roy pregnancy plotline? that could literally heal the world from the disaster of veep s7??? #be so for real rn #LOL #but yes thank u for the ask hard hard hard agree <3 that convo w caroline fucking destroyed me bro #asks #succession #shiv roy #succession spoilers #honeybunchcalum #casey shut the fuck up about shiv roy

The nice thing about having two really intelligent dogs is that they watch us interact with each other and learn things that way all the time. Rest/stay is not something I've really worked on with Eevee other than at doorways and baby gates because my dogs aren't allowed to rush entries and exits for safety reasons, but we use it with Hermes in lots of different contexts multiple times a day every day and his rest is very solid and generalized. Just a few minutes ago I told Hermes to rest so I could clean something up without him getting in the way or stepping in it but without specifying that I was talking only to him and Eevee also froze in place with him, stopped moving completely, and then eventually laid down (position switching is allowed during rest for my dogs just not directional movement, plus she's baby and I didn't actually mean to tell her to rest anyway so IDC regardless) still in her spot watching me clean and didn't break until I gave her a treat and released her along with him. I was cheering mentally for her the entire time but trying to contain my reaction until I gave them their release cue so she didn't get excited and break the rest before I was done cleaning because I've never used that command in that kind of situation with her before. She's so smart and good though, I love herrrrr

#i compare myself a lot to other non-disabled dog trainers and it makes me feel like my dogs are untrained messes a lot of the time #but then my dogs do something smart every now and then that reminds me that we do actually train small stuff daily like this #and I'm like oh yeah these are still the best trained dogs I've ever known IRL esp compared to the pet people I know #Hermes especially has a LOT of stuff I've taught him forever ago when i was in better health that he still remembers now #despite a lack of refresher training for a lot of it #and everytime he does something to remind me im like... oh shit i forgot youre actually smart as fuck and pretty well trained bro #like we havent worked on Hermes' emergency down/down at a distance in a long ass time #but a couple weeks ago Selene told Hermes to down from a distance and understandably at first he moved closer to her to down #so she started to indicate that was not what she wanted and before he was halfway to her or she even finished telling him #he turned himself around #went back to the EXACT spot he had been standing in #turned around again to face her in that spot #and then laid down and waited for her to come to him with the treat #literally haven't worked on that in years and wasnt expecting him to remember it #to the point where i was about to correct selene for even asking for it when we havent done it in so long without refresher training first #and then he DID IT #i love my dogs a lot and they're smart af thats it thats the TLDR

[wellthatschaotic]

so my work is supposed to offer grooming and training for the ouppies (as well as daycare and boarding) but. we dont have a groomer or trainer yet. i was told we'd get a groomer early 2024. we have not. the main reason i want a groomer is so that we can offer nail trimming services. i love all my kids but some of them have Knife Toes

#also bc it makes me mildly sad when i see a dog who really needs a bath and brush #theres 2 dogs that come in sometimes and theyre like. dirty and matted. from a distance they look alright but when youre in group with them #and esp when you try to pet them theyre matted as hell #which like. i cant say anything about it. but bitch take care of your ouppies #i would learn how to groom but. the Water. #if someone else bathed and blow dried for me i would LOVE to do the haircut and nails and stuff #if i was taught how to ofc. i feel like thats something you need someone to show you how to do. nails at least #i dont wanna risk cutting them too short bc not only will that hurt the ouppy. they will Remember That Forever #and not want their feets touched when their nails have to be done again #but i do wish i had someone to teach me how to trim their nails. id do it for free if they let me #all my kids are so cute and fluffy but KNIFE TOES #some of their nails are curling too. i think everyone needs to just take better care of their dogs tbh #like not curling BADLY. but to the point where you Notice #anyway. bedtime
