A Giant Dog Delivers a Ferocious Night of Rock 'n' Roll at Johnny Brenda's

On a crisp and starry night in Philadelphia, the electric vibes of Johnny Brenda’s played host to a musical explosion of epic proportions. A Giant Dog, a band hailing from Austin, Texas, took the stage with an air of gritty determination, leaving no doubt that they intended to rock the night away. This memorable evening was also graced by the opening band Dregs, another outfit from Austin, and…

Dec 11. Prompt: Boots. Word count: 195 @wolfstarmicrofic

The four boys were sitting on the floor in their dorm room, an array of snacks they stole from the kitchen in the middle, and a half-eaten cake that they had attempted to make. Sirius, the birthday queen, had a crown on their head and was ripping open presents. First was the new record from Peter and some Zonko’s products. James’ present was a picture of the four of them in a handmade pasta frame (he saw them in Lily’s bedroom when he went to visit that summer and became obsessed!) and some of Effie’s famous biscuits. Remus’ gift was buried in a box under an unhealthy amount of chocolate. Sirius looks at the four little boots then up at Remus, confused.

“They’re dog shoes, so Padfoot’s paws don’t get wet in the snow. Your hands are always freezing when you turn back.” He looked worried, about Sirius’ hands but also about Sirius’ reaction. Did he get her the wrong present?

That’s when Sirius slams into the boy next to him and they fall in a heap of limbs, Sirius wrapping their arms around him and kissing his cheek.

“I love them, thank you Moons”

#Wolfstar #Wolfstar microfic #Sirius is genderfluid and uses all pronouns #Dogs walking in shoes and being so uncoordinated are my favorite things #Like can you picture Padfoot this giant dog walking all weird in the boots #The others would never let him live it down #Remus knew exactly what he was doing

being a writer is fun because sometimes you notice a trend in the stories/themes/characters that you work with, and then make a connection between them and your life and or self.

And then you magically know what you're talking about in therapy next week.

#anyways i realized that maybe the reason all of my trans characters have extremely gorey transgenderifications #is perhaps because. of my own. less than ideal experience with the process.#and its not a contextless edgy thing #anyways list of how characters transed be upon you:#Peregrine: blood magic. Literally did cosmetic surgery on himself while fully conscious and left his uterus and associated parts #just sorta on the floor. Bc hes rich and does not respect the helps time.#Conall: unicorn magic. Animorphs from the saddest wettest woman youve ever seen into a giant dog and then into an extremely unstable man.#Fawn: Plant magic. Use plants and her ability to make living tissue grow to reshape her body along plant scaffolding.#Chase: cant transition bc of vampirism #Vincent: he just used regular hrt but im including him bc look at him. He is body horror

I could talk about how female characters are almost always watered down to the responsible friend or the voice reason or the badass character with no feelings, etc etc and how it's not only harmful but usually ooc for most of the characters it includes (Nya, Annabeth, literally every girl from PjO, Shoko and Nobara, etc) for hours but I have to sleep

#this is a bad thing #the whole “the boys r doing smth stupid while the girls stare in disappointment” thing is so annoying #like #in pjo #if we're talking abt canon personalities #annabeth was also deranged as fuck. she's smart ofc she is but she's a feral child that lives in a camp where slaying monsters is normal #she's badass ofc but she's not your “responsible character”#also. badass female characters #a character doesn't have to be mean rude or straight up heartless to be badass #annabeth CRIED bc the giant dog w three heads that guards the underworld didn't have anyone to play with #that girl cries over everything and i love her for it #if percabeth watched titanic it wouldn't be a “percy cries and annabeth comforts” situation #honestly they'd both be rating the way the ppl fell out of the boat #my girl doesn't deserve this mischaracterization #if you think a girl has to b mean to be badass then she is NOT badass #annabeth chase #percy jackson #pjo #ninjago #ninjago nya #ieiri shoko #kugisaki nobara #jjk

Still thinking about the conversation I had with my roommate’s bf like two weeks ago where he said he was scared of furries but also didn’t even know enough about furries to know they were called furries I had to figure out wtf he was talking about. The urge to become a full blown furry now. Despite having all the makings of a furry I for some reason have never ended up enthusiastically becoming one despite my best efforts. Well. With spite as my motivator here we are. Where are the furry artists, I’m commissioning both my tentative ideas for my fursonas. I’m inviting all my friends who are furries over and we’re gonna work on making fursuits. I will also make this a hostile living situation for you AND I will get the added bonus of doing fun furry stuff

#during the same conversation he very heavily insinuated he thought I was a cringey weirdo in the most derogatory sense #by making fun of most of my hobbies and calling ppl who liked them cringey weirdos #but then going ‘oh! oh no! I don’t mean you though you’re fine you’re like Normal 😀’#so. you know.#anyways last night I walked in the door from work #and the entire apartment smelled like weed and there was a dog barking at me and he was watching tv SO loud #🙃🙃🙃 sensory overload immediately in main part of apartment so I hid in bedroom all night #I’m also irritated cuz I’ve had convos with my roommate about weed FOREVER ago #literally my one ask was if he was gonna smoke he do it outside so the apartment doesn’t smell like it #idc if you smoke and you are free to do edibles/dabs/whatever inside just pls don’t smoke joints #I hate the smell and it’s bad for the animals #so why is it 🙃🙃🙃 all of a sudden happening again as this guy moves in 🙃🙃🙃#anyways about to become a revenge furry and also suuuuuper fucking cringey just to bother/embarrass him #esp cuz he said he wants to have friends over all the time which I’m also FUDJDJSJSKSK about #but sure! invite friends over!#I’m gonna sit in the living room with my giant easel and draw furries and listen loudly to vocaloid while they’re here 🥰#I’m gonna have a great time! you won’t tho lmao #kaz rambles

concept: take your kid to work day but you work for The Company

#lethal company #can you imagine though #like it’s objectively going to be bad no matter what you do no matter how safe you try to make it #they’re gonna have a bad time #like even if you tell them to stay on the ship there’s dogs and the possibility of masked men and giants outside #and you and your crew are inside risking your lives and you could all die and the kid is just sat inside the ship waiting for you #and like. if you give them a walkie so you can chat with them they’re going to hear a bunch of grown-ups shitting their pants #and possibly dying #also bonus point in my head i’m imagining like. what if the crew does die?? and they didn’t have enough for quota #so this kid knows they have to arrive with the quota their other parent will be waiting for them at the company #but they know something bad will happen if they don’t meet quota they just don’t know what #so it’s the final day and they decide they have to go to a moon as a last effort to try and make quota to avoid The Consequences #the kid writes the report about it and only gets a C. ‘vivid descriptions and very imaginative. next time write about your parent’s actual #job’

Do you have any books/articles on how to train primitive (specifically northern) breeds? I’ve seen a lot these past couple of years that stubborn dogs aren’t necessarily that, just that you might not have the right motivator/approach, so do you have any advice on how you built engagement and managed to train your dogs? (As I’m assuming mushing does require a some level of obedience) Asking as someone who wants a northern breed but also wants to do obedience and wants to know if that’s possible😅

Obedience with northern breeds is absolutely possible, but if you want to do competitive obedience that is like giving yourself a handicap...very possible to achieve success but it will be much more work for you than your peers with border collies and retrievers as these sort of sports don't cater to most northern breeds best qualities. (I actually know quite a few Malamutes in competitive obedience, but again. It's not breed typical so this sort of desire for biddability I would absolutely bring up with any breeder you decide to purchase from. Slash for example loves working with a handler one on one and doing obedience work and I can work him for longer periods, Sigurd reaches a boredom threshold much much sooner and would not be good for this sort of work, but he listens beautifully in harness and on hikes.)

With primitive dogs it's all about finding the proper motivator for them to want to do something for you. Everything with primitive breeds is about want and desire. They're incredibly smart and a huge majority of primitive breeds also have a survivalist aspect to them which makes them individualistic and able to make decisions on their own (or as I like to call it the "why? factor").

Most primitive dogs when you ask them to do things without showing them what items/behaviors of high value you have to provide in exchange for work:

Now I will say for my own circumstances, my dogs are not perfectly obedient (far from it), and teaching them to mush and do what I ask of them in that context is very different than asking them to do things outside of a working environment. Mushing was the easiest thing I taught my dogs, more than even basic daily obedience tasks, because running in harness is the ultimate motivator for drivey working bred sled breeds and they are more willing to listen to continue to be able to do so (vs disobeying a command in harness and having me stop the whole team to reset).

A really great blog is Couch Wolves, it's all about working with primitive dogs and learning to appreciate their individual way of thinking. The authors are extremely qualified and have worked with a number of difficult and primitive breeds in an obedience setting.

#dogblr #faq #primitive dogs #dog obedience #anyways all my dogs are nasty giant gremlin creatures #slash and zombie are pretty dog like but living with sigurd is like living with a tiger #he's naturally aloof and very difficult to motivate #you get ONE CHANCE with a high value item for him to do something for it #before he's bored as hell #so very short sessions to get behaviors down is necessary #so much walking him out of obedience classes for being close to threshhold as a puppy #oh also if you don't like vocalist dogs in obedience settings boy do i have news for you.

I love stereotypes about dogs so much because of how funny it is when they get disproved. My giant Rottweiler who looks like he might have eaten several children in the past and is looking for his next victim giving big sad eyes when he lays his head in your lap 3 seconds after meeting him versus my tiny Jack Russell who until she sees a stranger looks like an innocent little baby then immediately becomes 90% teeth 10% dog, why sir, they are simply doing god’s work

#people seeing tito and going oh god let me put my dog on a leash so it doesn’t get eaten #me going oh no honey he wants to be friends with every living creature it’s the tiny demon that can be carried under your arm that you need #to worry about she’s getting ready to attack #anyway I miss my dogs #titan isn’t even technically my dog but in my heart he is #also because every time I come home he’s like 🥰sister hey wherever you been I love you #which annoys Holly bc she believes I am the only love in her life #I think more people should have giant scary dogs that have only love in their hearts #it would balance out all the tiny purse sized dogs that worship Satan #I love a dog that resembles an oversized fluffy rat but big scary dogs are sooooooo #anyway again have I mentioned I miss my dogs #holly my love I will be home again one day soon and I will give you a thousand kisses to make up for the ones you’ve missed #my angel my love my darling the only one who truly understands the whole of my soul

I wish all food service workers who are weird about regulars always ordering the same specific thing and tease them for it a very “please don’t do that”

#was just thinking about when i first started my exchange year & there were basically 2 eateries on campus #i mean one of them was a giant food court with a bunch of options like burgers; sandwiches; salad etc #the other one was just a basic diner. i really really liked the diner because the food arrived fast; it was super good #and it was really close to where i lived. so every time i went in i got a hot dog and fries. and i went there for dinner probably every day #it took maybe about 3 days for the girl at the counter to start recognising me; knowing i was going to get the same thing each time;#and screaming ‘hot dog and fries????!?!!’ at me every single time i entered the building. which; if you’re like me and grew up with a weigh #problem and body image issues; fucking HORRIFYING. like why are you announcing to the whole diner what i’m going to be eating #i kept trying to show up when she wasn’t on shift or ordering something different and then i eventually just stopped going there #i kept going to the cafeteria because i could fix my own plate and the lady who weighed your plate (you were charged based on that)#never commented. but the cafeteria food was SO bad #i ended up going to the burger bar to just get the premade chicken tender baskets but those started to gross me out after a while #so i ordered a custom burger this one time and the guy was looking at me kind of funny for my order (i wanted a grilled chicken burger #with no cheese and just lettuce; onion and mayo on it) and one time when i went in i saw/heard him notice me and immediately start telling #his coworker about how ‘weird’ my order was. like i’m sorry i’m bri’ish and therefore don’t have the american propensity for shoving #a ridiculous and unnecessary amount of ingredients into any given sandwich??? sorry that i hate tomatoes and the idea of chicken and cheese #together horrifies me. i guess.#sooooo i started going to the sandwich bar and they were lovely. i ordered pretty much the same thing every day and the girl acted like it #was brand new to her every day. she also spelled my name wrong in a new and different way every day. and always added a smiley face #one time she put so much tuna mayo in my sandwich that i had to go get a spoon to eat it with. i hope she’s well #i just… i don’t know where i was going with this rant. i just hate being teased about what i eat bro #like whenever i like a food it’s ALL i want to eat for the next three months and i know that’s boring and not healthy but i don’t care!!!#why do YOU care. i don’t care and it’s my fucking body #you can let me eat my hot dog and fries in peace without announcing it to the whole diner. that is something you canndo #personal #*i feel like someone is going to accuse me of criticising food service workers. hiiiiii i’ve been one :)

I went into my bedroom to open the window to let the cool air in so I can go to sleep in a couple hours (can't have the A/C on when it's below 60°F outside or it can damage the unit), and when my dog realized I was just opening the window and it's not actually bedtime, she got so frustrated she growled at me a little.

#WHAT a dramatic little baby. as if she doesn't have a dog bed in the living room AND the whole ass couch 🙄#she's literally laying on a giant pillow on the couch as i write this #she's such a little drama queen

Anime DISCOVERY & TIME of the SEASON Present: The WORST Anime of 2023

Time for "HOW DO I PISS YOU OFF?!" with what anime I thought sucked!

I feel like whenever I’m hearing about any anime news in 2023, most of it has something to do with one company that has such a big stranglehold of the industry and they are pissing you off every chance they get, from not dubbing that show you like but dubbing a bunch of other shows (aka mostly various isekai) that you’ll forget within a week’s time it finished airing, an award show that caters…
