#at the other end of the leash

A very unfriendly reminder that my dogs are not here for the enjoyment of terfs. They might not bite, but I sure will 😘

#at the other end of the leash

[notbecauseofvictories]

as a coda to yesterday's "I can only watch serious Films now" post, I do want everyone to know that I've been re-reading the same 5-7 terrible romance novels on the back end. I'm clearly going through something, it's probably fine, but I won't know for another few months or quite possibly ever.

#still don't know what triggered reading 300+ books in 2021. #my brain just makes decisions #and drags me behind it like a small woman holding the other end of a large mastiff's leash #celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

remus lupin is an irresponsible dog owner. remus lupin does not leash his dog. remus lupin isn’t walking his dog he simply happens to be in the park at the same time sitting on a bench and reading a book while his dog is running around terrorising the children and knocking them flat on their faces, chasing after runners and snapping at their ankles and pissing on the slide. remus lupin doesn’t give a fuck about the kids or the runners or the angry parents and even if he’d bothered to put the lead on in the first place, he’d just let his dog drag it through mud and trip people up rather than holding it.

#all this sirius on a leash talk #while i appreciate the sentiment let’s be real here… #the only one on the other end of that lead is james potter sorry. #remus simply does not have the moral fibre for it. #(​or the arm muscles) #r

what was the leash training thing❔

Omg so a houseline isn't leash training Per Se, but the basic idea is that you keep a line on your pup at ALL times, for the early part of their training. For Hugo (and most dogs) that'd be a leash that you cut the handle off of, so it can't get caught on anything. For smaller breed dogs, I've seen people use very lightweight stuff, like macrame rope lol. It might sound like it's a strict thing, but dogs don't really give that much of a shit abt it, and you can correct behavior much much more easily. Puppy careens toward a pill dropped on the ground, you don't have to actually catch them, you can stomp on the line! You need them to come to you, you don't have to play a game of chase, you just reel them in. Someone opens the front door unexpectedly- stomp on the line. Puppy is jumping up on people, you can use the line to encourage them to stay on all four feet. Etc etc etc. Training tool, safety tool, convenience tool. I definitely think it saved me and Hugo from a lot of moments that could've been a lot worse. Another thing about the houseline is that it keeps you from fucking up the process of getting the dog used to being handled and touched. Without the line, there are a lot of situations where you need to GRAB the puppy all of a sudden, and maybe it's scary. A lot of dogs are Hand Weary. So there's no negative association attached to your touch, and you don't run into a situation where the puppy is reactive to being Reached towards. The leash that's always been attached to me forever and ever and is sometimes directed by, idk, god? Not scary. Big hands reaching towards me very suddenly? Scary! Anddd that's why Hugo has a raggedy leash on in every puppy photo!

#you asked a simple question about dog stuff I hope you like walls of text!!!!!! #this was a tip that I'd never heard of and now I recommend it to other ppl when they get puppies. It's actually pretty common #The houseline comes off when your dog gets a little bit more responsible and/or you've had a chance to teach them Stay/Wait/Leave It #in an effective manner #There's also the outdoor version of this. a longline lmao #which is an extremely long leash with- yes- the loop cut off the end #for outdoor activities where your dog is Off Leash but really needs to have a tether #like if you're at the beach or something? #all the same conveniences except this time the line is like 20 feet long #sergle answers

got junie a halter so I can take her on little walks!

#she had so much fun #her first time outside!!! #(she is an indoor cat to be clear she will never be outside unless she is in her halter and I am on the other end of the leash)

Yeah that moment kinda shows how he can make c!discduo listen to him and even the way how this is not healthy. I also think he might be participate in comflict bewteen cdiscduo if he didnt leave but more as an motivator but not him causing it on porpuse. At the end cdream was trying to make him by his side to have laverage, ctommy was still really depend on him and the disc that cdream have. It was a a disaster that was coming but he leave so he did not caused a new conflict but was a factor that played in a resolution

i mean ? "participate in conflict between c!discduo" he is like the foremost reason why the conflict between c!discduo even looks the way that it does honestly. it wouldn't have been about heroes and villains without lmanburg, full stop. when dream and tommy had their first disc spat, they didn't need to be handheld into figuring out a solution, yk? they had their fornite battle, tommy and dream both got their shit back, they did a trade of a stack of diamonds for a netherite chestplate, and i'd go as far as saying that both of them kinda had. fun ???? like c!tommy is reminiscing about those times IN THE LITERAL FINALE, a consistent trend with him throughout the server (he did the same during november 16th, where he had been downright excited to go back to the disc war and was ribbing c!dream about how he's never in the walls no more) and while c!dream honestly has a terminal stick in his ass and always saw the whole thing as more serious than c!tommy (hence why c!tommy was sitting there going i never realized how much that hurt you), i think it's hard to look at the way c!dream acts with c!tommy pre-vassal and really say that he hated the kid's guts over a stupid surprise attack the whole time lmao. they liked each other! they were friends!

c!wilbur being able to make c!discduo listen to him (and um, give his words the weight of the world) isn't just an inconsolable differences thing, it's really smth that stretches as far back as that first discussion about lmanburg that they ever have. it's something that applies to the duel, to vassal. c!wilbur participating and fanning the flames of conflict between c!discduo (and quite literally prying them apart in vassal, which was kind of the beginning of the end) is something that happens throughout the server, and i'd argue that inconsolable differences -> boundless sands is his clumsy attempt at fixing that. shutting the damn book on lmanburg as the one who penned the story, say youre a tyrant dream and put it in writing and burn the discs, you two can't play nice so the game's fucking over. tommy, stay in your place, dream, do as i say, etc etc. c!wilbur has to leave because of who c!wilbur is to c!dream and especially to c!tommy, it's just things were too fractured for him leaving in itself to Completely Fix Everything

#c!dreambur #my asks !! #c!wilbur /can/ make them play nice by technicality yeah as the one that can get both dream and tommy to do as he says when he says it #which is also why he couldn't. be the solution. inconsolable differences shows that. #muzzling two dogs and putting them on leashes doesn't solve a problem when the reason they wanna rip each other's throats out #is cuz you trained them to fight in a cage in the first place. ykwim. #^ that's a messy analogy #like he HAS to leave. this DOES serve as the catalyst for the events that end with a nuke falling over their heads. #this doesn't mean it would've been /better/ if he controlled them into playing nice #idk idk this is all messy as an explanation but ... yeah

[fic: double-blind] Question for extremis!Tony: so Peter clearly prefers the version of you before/without the extremis, to the point of doing everything he can to bring that person back. How does that make you feel? Hurt, angry, jealous? Or do you just think it's Peter being silly/mistaken and it doesn't bother you at all?

There is no person to bring back. He can't see it right now; he's... confused. But when I make things up to him, he'll realize I've been the same dad he's always known the whole time.

#fic: double blind #double blind: tony #also origins of the #au: double blind double dads #tag #ursa interlude: #I answered this from his POV mid-story just because a SIM who realized that Peter WAS right and DID genuinely prefer the “other” Tony #would just not even be able to answer this question #feelings-wise: even from this perspective yes it hurts his feelings but he DOES get it #he scared peter really bad and peter's “just trying to make sense of it” #if peter's attempt had failed he would've been very hurt but also very sad for peter and more desperate to show him that he's the same dad! #but thinking about like. somehow both tonies exist simultaneously and peter clearly prefers cured!tony??? #and doesn't have basically any affection for sim!tony at all????? #that would like. break him. #like “he might end up forcibly rewiring his brain despite the effects of extremis to desperately try to get peter to love him again” #not necessarily in a “genuinely becoming a better person” way but at least in a “behaving himself” way. like vegeta. #sim still-evil-but-on-a-leash redemption arc when

if im a dog, what does that make you?

listen, it's not weird if it's a metaphor. that's how this works, right

#gin detective conan #detective conan #cackle draws #you can choose NOT to see it as a metaphor if that's more fun #you can also choose who's on the other end of the leash!! as a treat #(it's obvs meant to be ginvodka but i couldn't get this pose to work w two people and i like it too much to change it lol)

I work retail and obv this week is absolute hell so yesterday I decided, instead of pushing my way through Saturday pre-christmas traffic to go home and let Tassie out for the five minutes I'd have left before I had to turn around and come back, I would bring her with me and have her stay in the car while I worked. And it was a good idea! We did a two mile power walk on lunch, she handled being in the car pretty well, and she was a good girl.

Except she clearly did not spend the day napping like she normally does, because we got home at 8 and by 8:30 she went upstairs and put herself to bed lmao. This was my view when I finally put myself to bed and turned on the lights.

And I bet despite yesterday, she's still going to demand to come to work with me again.

#tassie #german shepherd dog #gsd #puppy stories #i regretted that walk btw #did not intend to walk that far but i got lost #in a not good part of town like i could smell cat pee from the sidewalk from a lot of houses and shopping carts were parked in lawns #on the other hand though best behaved off leash dogs ive ever seen #just watched us walk by with no issues #rich part of town could never #very glad i had the black gsd on a chain collar though #by the end of the power walk she was panting heavily and my legs were shaking #and i still had to go back to work

If Simon was just a little more aware of the influence he had over Betty, if Betty was just a little more intense about her obsession with Simon...

"Submissive like an attack dog is submissive"

All that chaotic whirlwind of impulses with Simon as her steady and solid center. She would - already has - always will break the world in half for him. But one word from Simon, and she rests placid and careful - not at his feet, but just over his shoulder. Hovering, ever watchful.

Simon is walking down the hallway, seemingly alone, when a pack of students - thinking they could push him around for kicks - start hounding him. Silly Simon - the loony lecturer - he was a joke. But as they lay one hand on Simon's shoulder - Betty appears like a wraith of vengeance, springing from the shadows that line the hallway.

How did she get here? Where was she this whole time? Who knows. But now she's here and she's about to make herself their very, very real problem. She snaps up the wrist of whichever guy laid a hand on her Simon. There's an ominous creak as the bones grind, a yelp of pain.

"Oh I'm sorry, is this yours?" She asks sweetly, squeezing harder. "You seem to have misplaced it."

The wise guy yelps as his posse rears back, still recovering from her abrupt appearance. As they scramble to find the single brain cell they share...

"Betty."

Two syllables. One name. Betty is at his side at once. She doesn't even pay the boys another look as her attention is devoted on the only one that ever matters.

All this time, Simon has walked steadily forward, never missing a step. He keeps his gaze ahead even as Betty attached herself to his side.

It's only when they're away from any prying eyes, away from his would-be bullies, that he turns to her.

"I would tear out their hearts if you asked me to."

"I know. That's why I would never ask."

"And that's why I keep asking."

#I was just examining my other ships #Most of my “call off your dog” ships involve same gendered characters #I'm experimenting with how it would feel in a heteroship #Where the woman is someone's hound #Now this is a power imbalance #And one that Simon would take great pains to manage #Usually if we had this dynamic #The Man is usually the snarling feral thing at the end of a leash #Betty would unhinge her jaw and swallow him whole #Simon would poison her on the way down #Just teetering on the brink of mutual destruction #Waltzing on thin ice before it all breaks apart #And they dissolve into a black hole
