- What's with the hat? - I don't know. Found it in the science lab. Thought it would help.

Day 11 - The Hunter Knows the killer’s weakness and the best way to beat them. The Final Girl typically teams up with them to finally nail the killer. Usually, they’re considered the other final character to survive.

#okay so i don't know if i like this line but it was meant to kind of explain his “armor” #since he's been putting it together since the incident started #but i'm not sure if i like the line or the hat anymore so... oops #(also it was meant to be in a conversation with the final girl #they don't meant until closer to the end of the plot #aka after most of the rest of the cast has already died and she's left mostly alone #but they team up to make it through the end #which also involves probably teaming up with the detective who's been free roaming and occasionally causing problems) #anyway i love keaton he's chill #i didn't ever decide what his major was or why he was in the building but he was probably working on a project or something #and when the incident started all of his survival training from his outdoorsy survival enthusiast parents taught him kicked in #so he found a weird hat in the science lab and “armor” in the art studios #also he has a service dog because I wanted a dog and I think this vest swatch looks a lot like the vests used by service dogs #(although it's not really prefect and in the future I'll try and find one that's cc and more accurate) #sorry that was long but I really like him he's cool #keaton kendrick #scout the dog #day 11 #the hunter #windbrookslashed #sims 4 #ts4 #sims 4 screenshots #ts4 screenshots #tw injury #tw death mention #tw illness #tw illness mention

oh man. i am so......... i will vent in the tags

#my dog was put to rest today. it was tough. but i got most of my sadness out of the way yesterday. #after that #a random ass dog came into our yard and starting being aggressive and growling and barking #and we have an outdoor cat and chickens #he was being nice for a bit but got mad again and i got so mad at him after he bit at my rooster. #he turned out to be okay but i am so pissed #animal control was called. we stood outside for a solid hour waiting on them. we saw them drive past our house #they did not stop to help us #this dog is harrassing everyone in the neighborhood and we are all so tired #we took our cat in the house. the chickens are in the coop now. #so theyre safe #but somebody has to come get this stupid dog #god i hate the government. emergency services are total ass and balls. nobody ever fucking shows up when you need them #weve had problems with animal control refusing to come out and help us when a big dog was harrassing our dog #and when they finally did show up after we begged them they were being assholes and acting like the stray was our pet we just wanted rid of #and this time they just dont show up at all #after calling us to tell us they were on their way. been hours now #i am so exhausted #and now i have to take a test for a class i really want to pass but i always do horrible on the tests. and i am just so so exhausted #feel awful right now. #aguuughghhh #delete later #.txt

There's a fluffy man in my bed

Lance's nephew, Kaz, is visiting for a week or so!

I'll never get over that white streak across his nose. It's not a natural marking. It's because he got his nose stuck in the ex-pen as a puppy and had to be rescued.

Always makes me think of this dude lol

#Kaz #rough collie #also pictured #Lance's feet lol #Kaz was my favourite puppy out of all the litters I helped with #at 8 weeks old he'd follow me around the house #and any time I stopped moving #he'd immediately sit and just watch and wait #he actually stuck around for a few more weeks after the rest of the litters left #(we had two going born two weeks apart) #cause his person needed some extra time to come get him #any time this lad got bored he'd go find a toy #then bring it back to where I was #and just sit nearby and play with it on his own #I'm so used to being around service dogs #or pets owned by experienced trainers #that when I'm around a collie owned by an average pet owner #man is the difference ever noticeably! #Kaz is a great little dude #but he's also a little neurotic #new situations aren't super comfortable for him #and he'll just pace endlessly #he charges up stairs like they're trying to eat him #things that are 100% a result of his upbringing #and not his temperament #it's just fascinating to me #what a difference exposure training can make #for instance #in creating a dog that can take new situations in stride #anyway I love this fluffy little man

got a little personal thing to get out bc i don’t feel like talking about it with people in my real life right not

so i’ve mentioned before on here that i’m currently working with a service dog in training for an organization via a club at my school. the dog i’m working with, justice, has fairly strong anxiety around new people but other than that has been doing amazingly in her training. i’ve had her for about 2 months now and have loved it, it’s hard but it’s a really rewarding experience. today i got a text from one of the professional trainers in the organization that, due to justice’s anxiety, they are looking at placing her with someone else for a while to see if it’s a phase or not. now i fully get that a college campus is an overwhelming place for a dog and that if it is a just an anxious phase this is a rough place to work through it. i also obviously want what’s best for her and her training, that is the priority, that is the commitment i made when signing up to be a puppy raiser. it’s just hard to feel like i did something wrong or that i failed her in some way. i know that this being considered is just due to justice and her issues and my environment maybe not being the best place for her. i’m just really struggling with the possibility of her leaving me so much earlier than expected. it’s also hard because i am finally finding a community here at college in my fellow puppy raisers and i (somewhat selfishly) don’t want to lose that by no longer having a dog i’m working with. i meet with a professional trainer on thursday to discuss and figure out if justice will be placed with someone else and i’m so so so nervous. the hardest part is that i truly think she would be better off being placed somewhere else. i just wish i could acknowledge that without feeling like i did something wrong. because i know that i have done the best that i possibly can with this dog. it also doesn’t help that one of the dogs in the college program recently got moved due to her raiser being irresponsible so i’m also scared of people thinking that a similar thing is happening with me. i hope we can figure out what’s best for justice and i hope that whatever it is allows her to overcome her anxiety and eventually have a career because i think she’d be an amazing service animal. i just wish it wasn’t so hard.

#anyway yeah #i’ll probably update with the results of the meeting bc no matter the outcome i probably will be emotional about it #but yeah i just wish the best for this wonderful sweet little dog #and i hope that if she does get a new placement that i can get another dog to work with soon #because i do love this #like if i decide not to go to vet school someday i could see myself going into dog training/service dog work #and i really wanna keep working with this dog #but i understand if that’s not best for her #idk its hard #and if she does get a new placement it will be very bittersweet for me #bc working with her is hard bc of her anxiety #and part of me would love to work with a less anxious dog #but i’ve already invested 2 months into her training so it’s hard to know i might not work with her through the rest #anyway like i said if things don’t work out with her hopefully i can get a new dog placed with me in a few months #bc this is something i want to be doing for at least the whole time i’m in college if not for more of my life #personal #rambles #also if anyone is fine with me ranting about this in dms i’d like that (i will include pictures of the girl as thanks for listening) #and yeah i just don’t wanna talk to people in my real life who also know and care about her #until i know the plan for sure #bc i don’t wanna upset any of my friends/family for nothing

Max has never been the perfect dog for me. Not even before he became my service dog. A bit too small, a bit too aloof, fragile/accident prone, not quite enough food motivation, doesn't really care to play with toys, sometimes straight up dislikes praise and touch... But he's able to provide enough of what I need. I'd benefit from more, but I can make do with what he gives.

I got so incredibly lucky that the dog I already had is capable of doing this job. He's not the perfect dog, but he's changed my life anyway. If he couldn't do it, I'd either still be without a service dog or only just starting to reach the point in training that the dog is occasionally helpful.

Max is getting me through hard times. I look forward to having a better match with future dogs now that I know so much more about my needs and preferences, while still greatly appreciating that Max stepped up and is able to fill that need for now.

Max is the dog I needed at this stage of my life. I couldn't have coped with another Lab so quickly after losing my childhood dog. I needed something different, and he's taught me so much... Including that I want to go back to Labs after him.

Idk, just feeling weird about the fact that he's 5 now. My childhood Lab only just barely made it to 8. I'm hoping hoping hoping Max will live much longer than that, but nothing is predictable with a mutt.

I don't know how long he'll tolerate the stresses of working, I don't know how long he'll be reasonably healthy, I don't know how long he'll live.

And I need a service dog, so I need to plan ahead. The time to find a good breeder, wait for a puppy, reach the point in training where the dog becomes helpful... Adds up to at least 2 years, maybe 3 or 4.

It hasn't even been a year yet since he graduated training, and already I'm worried about how soon I need to plan for my next dog. I might start the breeder search next year just to try to be as prepared as possible. But then there's so many more factors like saving up money, deciding how long to wait before actually getting a new dog, finding a puppy raiser bc I don't cope well around very young puppies, figuring out the logistics of living with 3 dogs for the duration of Max's retired life...

There's so much to figure out. And I have no idea how soon I'll need to.

#i use words #disability #service animal #service dogs #autism service dog #psychiatric service dog #mention of death #found this in my drafts from last summer #still dealing with these worries and probably will for the rest of Max's life

i had such a relaxing weekend 🥰

#maybe because it was so hot outside.... there was no pressure to be productive lmao #and i had to wake up early to walk my dog and exercise #because it was too hot to move between 10am and 8pm #i watched kiki's delivery service because i craved a ghibli movie. then binged queen on netflix <3 #but also cleaned up my room and kitchen #went for a bike ride in the evening and visited my grandparents #cooked delicious meals for myself <3 #and sunbathed a bit because i'm insane #also finished reading a book... now i realize i actually did a lot this weekend agjsfjsdj but it felt nice and slow #i feel well-rested and relaxed 🥰 i already cooked my meals for tomorrow too #getting up early makes my entire day tbh #k.txt

not only does one of my new roommates have a small yappy dog, but she also blasts her bassy EDM music in the evening that sounds like the same bad song on a loop... hmm.

update: okay just confirmed it's not her playing the music, but rather someone in the unit above ours. I asked them to turn it down and they did (for now)

#the punchline is that she wasnt originally going to be in this unit with the rest of us #the girl who initially had her room (we spoke over the summer) got switched to a different unit #so now this other girl is here #for context the floors are designed based on like.. artsy folks or sports folks or ppl who want more academic spaces #i chose the last option on my roommate matching sheet #and it's become obvious to me this new girl chose a different area because she feels like someone who #should have been in the music or artsy area.. and yet... #*sigh* if it continues to be a big issue for me (bc our rooms are the ones next to each other) #i'll ignore my tendency to shy from conflict resolution and talk to her about it #she cant help how mich her yappy chihuahua barks but she Can turn down her music #cuz it's gonna be an issue once i start working remotely and get into the thick of it with my assignments #grad school #if you have a loud dog pls dont room with other people you dont know... that feels like common courtesy to me #and it's a chihuahua so I'm 99.9% sure it's not a service animal #actually between the loud dog and the loud music... benefit of the doubt she's hard of hearing idk

New unfortunate life achievement unlocked: Got discriminated against because I have a service dog 🤪🙃

#service dog #scouts bsa #boy scouts #like it’s kinda fine now? #but damn does everyone on staff hate the camp director this year #he is yucky #and has vaguely homophobic vibes #I hope he steps in dog shit every day for the rest of his life #summer camp

My dog is such a good boy.

He's ten months old now...

I have sleep apnea, so I sleep with a full face mask, if I go to bed without it, even just to cuddle him while he's there, he'll look to where the mask is, because me wearing the mask is part of my bed attire apparently. Which, makes sense.

But the thing is, the hose to the machine is old, and it sometimes falls off the mask attachment, leaving me without the support of the cpap.

Before I got puppy, I'd just wake up gasping and coughing. Now, puppy wakes me up gently by licking my face and whining in concern, and then he waits for me to solve the problem of the hose before he cuddles down with me again.

He's so smart.

Puppy knows what's up.

#sleep apnea #dog #puppy #no picture #sleep service dog? #he does make sure I have a good night's rest #partially by making sure the c-pap is doing it's job #and partially by throwing an absolute fit if I'm not in bed by exactly 11:56 PM

[yearningsofayumejin]

So you know how I said I wasn't planning to play Obey Me again?

Yeah...

#kit rambles #🍵🎂 at your service #barbatos would hate being at my house if he hates mice so much lol #technically i never finished the og game #i finished season 1 and stopped about there due to a combination of a loss of motivation and a lack of time #but since nightbringer just came out less than a year ago i figured it'd be easier to get back into the series somewhat through it #im loving ruri tunes so far!! it's so fun #the dance battles in the og game weren't that fun to me personally #although maybe im biased because i like rhythm games a lot #maybe one day ill look at the rest of the og game... but for now im going to focus on just nightbringer when i can #i do miss my ur luke card of him and lucifer's dog tho

Anyway I'll never forget that 22 hour bus ride to Alabama to help my friend get married and one of the legs of the journey I was on the bus with my (clearly labelled, well behaved) service dog at my side and people were throwing a huge stink about the fact that I had my dog and then this ancient dude in a wheelchair, double amputee both legs, pipes up and tells them to shut the fuck up and leave me alone because Creed was obviously trained and then once everyone quieted down and I was able to take a seat, asked me quietly if I was okay.

He also could have been a cartoon character because I could have sworn there were little winged hearts floating above his head as he told me he'd always liked dogs but of course now he's old and can't walk so he can't get one anymore but he could tell how much Creed loved me and I him etc etc

He never asked me once what my disability was. He spoke up for me when he didn't have to. A truly old white man in Georgia saw a young black person with a "dangerous dog" breed and spoke up in my defense.

If you want to claim to be a disability advocate, that means you kind of have to. Advocate for each other. For the next 4 or so hours, this man and I had each other's backs. Two disabled people on a Greyhound filled with ableist passengers who were not happy we couldn't exist somewhere they didn't havr to accomodate. It didn't matter what our pasts or our diagnoses were. We were stronger together, so that's what we stayed. Together.

Two people banded together and the rest of the bus shut their mouths. Imagine what we could do with more of us.

Think I might stay in the city I work at a little longer tomorrow before coming home again. I am terribly tired of dealing with extended family over

#the way this was all set up just makes me horribly pissed. #we moved out of my previous city for many reasons but one side effect was my family pushing responsibilities on my ma #so being here granted some peace #but she traveled over 4 fucking hours to bring my grandma here with no forewarning #much less letting my grandma have an opinion on the matter #to drop my grandma off here and leave all the associated responsibilities to us. #like. #i have a sick dog i cannot treat because i have no money #i've been going through ptsd episodes last week #i had TWO overloads the last 3 days from too much information cluttering me #and my mother's dealing with a job change AND a terrible workplace #but nope. not her problem. drop grandma off and let the two ppl who live far from any support deal with it #she lives close to the rest of the family and has free services to help her w/gran #but no. let the ppl fighting tooth and nail to keep the house afloat deal with it. #she works from home. my mom and i work away. we cannot keep watch over my grandmother #she cannot be left alone. it CAN be dangerous. #she almost flooded the house this week. i'm scared of how much the water bill will be. #my dog is having behavioral issues made worse by the fact she's stressed #i'm just so so so tired. i straight up considered staying in the car to cry today. #and i did. #it never stops. #jorjposting

I think I'm going to need to go on some kind of anti anxiety medication to handle school. I use weed to manage it right now but I can't be high all day when we're in college.

#the idea of taking more meds when I'm already struggling to swallow the medication I have is unappealing #but the reality is that I (and the rest of the system tbh) am genuinely afraid of other people and the only reason I was functioning before #being extremely isolated for the last 3 years #I only functioned because I had a service dog. #I no longer do and my fear of people has gotten much worse since then
