Linked Universe Ski Patrol AU

(dreamt this up while skiing today and had to get it out of my head)

Warriors:

Senior Leader, Ski Patrol & Part-Time Assistant Coach w/Time

Skier - Speciality: Slalom Ski

Has the best drip on the mountain. Colour matched outfit and gear.

Technique snob. But he looks elegant af so it’s hard to turn your nose up at his advice.

Mostly teaches novice teen-adult ski classes. Tends to be the designated instructor for private lessons.

Knows the students in his class are crushing on him and taking sly snapchats, but he’s cool with it. Legend makes sure to body check him into a now drift if it gets to his head.

Lead coordinator for Search & Rescue.

Schedules all safety and team briefings for first thing in the morning (much to the annoyance of LITERALLY EVERYONE).

Is a stickler for rules and will enforce them if people are being unsafe on piste.

Will stop snow spray other members of the ski patrol (makes sure to have a swift exit strategy when he targets Legend & Four).

Wears those old school ski sunglasses.

Sky:

Ski Patrol Member

Snowboarder - Specialty: Big Air

Is so often late to morning briefing sessions, he is immune to Wars’ glare.

Rides goofy.

Tends to be a very laidback and confident rider and isn’t one to race down the mountain at mach speed.

HOWEVER, he will absolutely send it over huge jumps whenever he feels he needs to remind everyone how much of a badass he is.

Dude has no fear of heights.

Will occasionally assist in lessons, but is not a primary instructor and would prefer not to be.

Gives one of the smoothest rescue toboggan rides down the mountain.

Will stop and offer encouragement to new snowboarders.

Twilight and Sky have a long standing skier/snowboarder rivalry going and do not miss an opportunity to be little shits to each other.

Will give ONE free pass for rule breaking.

Wolfie:

MVP Ski Patrol Member

Best digger on the Search & Rescue Team.

Often found riding the lift with Twilight.

Will catch a ride across Twilight or Wars shoulders when too tired to run back down the mountain.

Barks encouragingly at the kiddos learning to pizza.

Sits beside the t-bar so he can get extra pats from riders heading up the mountain.

On his off duty days, he is more often than not, dog-napped by Wild & Hyrule to go skijoring.

Best boy on on the mountain, no debate.

Four:

Pro Shop Technician & Part-Time Ski Patrol Member

Skier - Blade Skis (that he CNC machined himself).

Has no end of patience helping fit the excitable kiddos with rentals. But can and will get sassy with entitled tourists who think they know more than him.

Prefers quick carving to really test the limits of his equipment.

Has fixed more equipment of Wild’s than he cares to think about. Four: “HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO BEND YOUR SKI IN THIS DIRECTION?!?”

More often than not can be found at the terrain park.

Backpack, sunglasses, hands in pockets. He’s a whole vibe and knows it.

Runs a small artisan shop selling CNC’d speciality ski blades.

Fills in on Ski Patrol if someone is away/sick.

Much to his dismay, is usually designated as the ‘patient’ for practice rescue scenarios. But, admittedly, enjoys riding in the rescue toboggan especially if Hyrule is driving as he full sends it down the mountain.

Um this is getting a tad long. I’ll have to put the other boys full description in another post at a later date. But here’s the overview (mostly so I don’t forget!)

Twilight:

Senior Leader, Ski Patrol

Skier & Ski Mountaineering

Wild:

Wilderness Instructor & Part-Time Assistant Coach w/Time

Skier - Speciality: Freestyle & Nordic Ski

Ex-Ski Patrol Member

Legend:

Ski Patrol Member

Skier - Speciality: Moguls & Backcountry

Former National Team member

Time:

National Team Coach & Operations Lead, Ski Patrol

Thoughts on S05E03 - Free Will

Okay, folks. This past week I contemplated that my time in the fandom might have been coming to an end, because I felt so deeply disconnected with the series and fandom. So it was a bit of serendipity that this week brought around my favourite episode in a long time - all of S4 and even a good chunk of S3. I LOVED it. I’ll leave a few spoiler- filled ideas I tweeted under the cut, for those who want them.

- Claire bringing penicillin and bullshitting forward in time. A true scientist on all fronts.

- Are these people receiving money to build this giant AF house? Where did Claire find so many glass covers in the backcountry of NC?

- I haven't uttered this aloud yet, but this is my favourite version of the opening track since S1.

- Jamie's face when he gets home tells me he sometimes still wonders if Claire will really be there, waiting for him. If those last years were real.

- When we complained about the lack of intimacy and people thought it meant solely sex; no, we actually meant these moments of togetherness, when they love each other and we know it.

- Claire is beautiful in these shots at the cabin. Candlelight witch she is. ❤

- I'm guessing Fergus isn't taking Claire's special recipe of squirrel stew with him, huh? I can see people screaming “Witch!”, etc.

- Your father?? F*ck me. The first time I watched it, I was like "Huh, I don't remember Claire saying goodbye to Jamie on a platform. HOLD ON." I mean one moment she is his wee girl, the next she doesn't even go to kiss him goodbye. I’m begrudgingly okay with Claire talking about Frank with Bree, but this irked me a little.

- Those poor guys running after the horses 😂😂. Drill them hard, Colonel!

- This fireside scene has all the elements of S1. And I absolutely love it. Claire is still a witty one.❤

- When I see these twins (great casting, btw!), I can't unsee what will go down on with Lizzie. 😂

- "I won't let you down" and by that Roger means he will absolutely let you down.

- There's such a Grimm's Tales quality about the Beardsley house. It's a fantastic set. The cinematography in this hour, which I bitch about a lot lately, was very good. Can we keep this director??

- "You said he was dead". Oh, I meant he was dead *to me*. As gruesome as this storyline is, it really speaks of the cycle of violence in abuse, cruelty and anger. It's worth thinking about all the people we would store in our own attics at times and release them.

- The cross falling on top of Fanny. Jesus is not impressed. But it gives Jamie the opportunity to place the cross again as a witness, when he comes to do what must be done.

- Jamie and Claire holding the baby. We were robbed of so much with these two as loving parents ❤❤. I want the talk that’s coming so badly. Please, let E04 continue this goodness.

- Claire is so many things to so many people, but Sassenach is just Jamie's. I love this moment as I haven't loved anything in a long time.

- I mean, this conversation about choice in death and Claire's promise is such great foreshadowing to what's to come. 🐍

- Those birds. That was what happened when the starlings left in Dark Shines.

- This episode opened my heart to OL again. I'm not expecting it to be perfect from now on (I mean, there's a Roger episode coming at some point), but this gave me a taste of something worth hoping for.

Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander

Thoughts on Ep. 501

We’re back again for another season of men never having to demonstrate any personal growth on screen because the writers don’t feel like that’s important to show and instead force the audience to just forget everything that previously happened because look! The characters, who aren’t real and are just what we write them to be, are all cool now so why aren’t you? #BadFans

As a standalone episode/series premiere of a new show, this episode was really good! I enjoyed it a lot, with some obvious exceptions. As the season five premiere of a show with a long history? What the actual fuck, why do you keep doing this, writers?

In season one, Jamie beats Claire, never actually apologizes for it, and we’re expected to be like oh lol it’s cool now. No worries.

In season two, Jamie takes his pants off with some prostitutes while his pregnant wife is at home, blames it on his “mission,” and we’re expected to be like oh lol it’s cool now. No worries.

In season three, Jamie is an asshole and a half to Claire when she gives up literally everything (including their daughter) to come find him and knowingly marries the woman who tried to have Claire killed because of one dance with random children at a holiday party, and we’re expected to be like oh lol it’s cool now. No worries.

In season four, Roger is a rancid garbage heap to Bree all season and is only begrudgingly down to stay with her as if *he’s* the one who’s been wronged by her, and Jamie literally sends a guy into what he thinks is like certain death/slavery without getting any real information, and we’re expected to be like oh lol it’s cool now. No worries.

So watching this premiere, I was not at all shocked that there was a convenient time jump where everything was so handily worked out off screen and we’re all super cool now, and Jamie thinking Roger isn’t good enough for Bree is played for a joke instead of being THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. #BreeDeservesBetter

Anywho, onward under the cut because I’m back on my drunken bullshit.

Ooo, a rape warning before the episode, starting off very on brand for you I see, show.

Fuck them very much, again, for including that very unnecessary story line in the first place.

I miss Scotland, y’all. Also, young Murtz can get ittt.

So can old Murtz.

#TeamMurtz

This bit though with wee Jamie made me feel feelings. Jamie and Murtagh’s relationship is literally one of my favorite parts of this whole damn show and saving Murtagh was the best adaptive choice these fuckwads made.

Unpopular opinion alert, but I actually really like the new credits music. I will always like season one’s the best, but this one is up there.

Also, am I a giant weirdo for being happy that even though they change stuff in the credits all the time, they keep in the shot of Claire’s legs running from the pilot? Idk why, but I’m like sentimentally attached to that shot.

Also, that is a fucking microscope I see in the credits, are we gettING SCIENCE!JIZZ?!??!?!?!

SCIENCE!JIZZ! SCIENCE!JIZZ! SCIENCE!JIZZ!

“Careful, or ye’ll lose yer head.” And we’d all be definitely super sad if that happened. Yep, can’t have that. #TeamCutthroatRazor

Jamie threateningly shaving and insulting Roger is the fandom minus the stans who for some inconceivable reason still like that fucker.

Seriously, fuck Roger. Jamie is apparently the only one who hasn’t gotten amnesia about how terrible he is. I guess it’s because Jamie has been really fucking terrible many times and like recognizes like.

I fucking love that Murtz made Bree’s ring. Makes it more meaningful than the random trinket Roger picks up at the Gathering Without End in the book. Like Claire’s Lallybroch key ring was more meaningful than the book!ring. Fuck the show for ditching the Lallybroch key ring because tHe BoOk RiNg Is WhAt FaNs LiKe. No. Stop. Bad choice.

The aerial shot going over the big house makes me hopeful that this season won’t be as fucking claustrophobic as last year. Because seriously, we can all tell you’re still in Scotland. Doing a whole season in basically closeups doesn’t make it seem any more North Carolina-y.

CLAIRE MAKING BREE’S DRESS AND GETTING TO BE THERE FOR HER DAUGHTER’S WEDDING WHEN SHE DIDN’T THINK SHE’D BE ABLE TO GIVES ME ALL THE FEELINGS! CLAIRE DESERVES ALL THE GOOD THINGS! I JUST LOVE CLAIRE A LOT OK! SORRY NOT AT ALL EVER FUCKING SORRY! #BeauchampBrigade5Eva

Bree’s dress is fucking gorgeous. I lowkey like it better than Claire’s.

Da!Jamie on his something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue quest is fucking adorable. He also never thought he’d get to see this one of his kids’ wedding so yay for him too.

“And we’re giving her away to a man who loves her.” “Oh.” “What? You doubt his love?” “Um, I’m sorry, did you SEE all last season?! Did everyone else get amnesia?!”

Also, bullshit about Roger being terrible aside, this right here, with Jamie and Claire actually talking to each other in an adorable and snuggly way. Like being all close and cuddly and shit. THIS IS MY SHIT. When we all bitch about wanting more Jamie and Claire couple stuff and the writers are all like “but the sex doesn’t advance the story” it’s like no you fuckwits, we don’t always mean sex! Sometimes we mean sex, because sex is important in their relationship (and sex does not necessarily equal nudity), but most of the time we mean SHOW US THAT THESE PEOPLE LOVE EACH OTHER WITH THE SMALL CUTE STUFF LIKE THIS! I’m *rull* curious to see how much more of stuff like this we get this season now that Balfe and Heughan are producers. Balfe especially, considering how dirty they did Claire last season...

DA!JAMIE AND ANOTHER OF HIS KIDDOS! Da!Jamie being sappy and sentimental at his kids’ weddings is 100% my jam.

HIS FACE WHEN BREE SAYS JE SUIS PREST MAKES ME FEEL ALL THE FEELINGSSS.

MOM AND DAD ARE AT THEIR LIL GIRL’S WEDDING AND MY SKIN IS CLEAR AND MY CROPS ARE THRIVING. Except that one weed over there in the groom’s place that just won’t go away.

I am so fucking glad they did away with the Gathering Without End. I swear to fuck 17% of a book that’s just like camping and periods and breast milk is aggressively not my jam.

Unfortunately the groom being a douchenozzle is not a legal reason to object to a wedding. But it really should be.

Fersali being all snuggly and cute during the vows is fucking precious. I love Fersali. Protect Fersali at all costs.

I’m ok with playing Jamie and Claire’s music over Bree and Roger’s wedding because like, this is the culmination of all the shit that Jamie and Claire went through together and I’m all for making stuff just about them, haha. But otherwise, weird choice to not give Bree and Roger their own theme?

Also, I get that it’s a better choice to have a character we already know and have established stakes with be here to do the red coat stuff, but loool at the thought of the fucking governor coming to this random backcountry wedding. Tryon, buddy, I get that Murtz is your white whale, but you look obsessed in a bad way, bruh.

GERMAIN!!! I FUCKING LOVE GERMAIN! I FUCKING LOVE THAT JAMIE TALKS SHIT ABOUT PRESBYTERIANS TO GERMAIN! GIVE ME ALL THE SASSY SMOLS!

“Some of us like to think before we act.” Oh fuck all the way off, Roger. ALL THE WAY OFF.

“There was me thinking that you were just trying to shut me up for a minute.” I mean, that was an added bonus, Rog.

Sophie has really gotten so much better at acting. She’s always such a goddamn delight on press tours and I’m like *rull* glad to see her growing into the role.

Lizzo/Flute Lady from the Wedding Band 2020

I 100% wanna chill with JQM and Fersali. This squad of cool kids seems aggressively more fun than the dancers.

Oh Isiah Morton. If only you could keep it in your pants.

I LOVE FERGUS WITH MY WHOLE HEART.

I LOVE MARSALI POSSIBLY EVEN MORE.

GODDAMN IT I JUST LOVE FERSALI SO FUCKING HARD.

Seriously, the sass and theatricality and sarcasm of Marsali Fraser. I stan. I fucking stan.

Also I 100% kept reciting “To sit in solemn silence...” through that whole scene. Once a theater kid, always a theater kid.

Don’t be a buzzkill, LJG. I love that posh nerd. Except when he’s being a fucking creeper about Jamie to Claire.

“Mistress, can I dance with the guy I thought raped you because he was such a twatwaffle?” “Sure, Lizzie, go for it! Because we’re all friends now.”

We’re just leaning in on the dad stuff this episode. The hot dads of Riverdale should form a gang with the hot dads of the Ridge just for kicks.

Obligatory fuck the writers for including Bree’s rape. Since they did though, good on them for showing her PTSD. Although fuck them for including such a graphic flashback. Much like the choices they made in the season one finale, it centers the rapist and the act more than the survivor.

Can this please be the only Fred reference this season? Also love to lightly joke about an emotionally abusive asshole who treated Claire like shit and used Bree as a weapon against her. Claire, being the bigger person she’s always been, will obvs not speak ill of Fred to Bree (unlike how Freddy boy undermined Claire in front of Bree), but Bree is now aware of just how shitty Fred was. Even if he wasn’t overtly shitty to her, her still being all lovey about him, knowing what he did to her mother, is lowkey super fucked up. “Well I know he was shitty to other people, but he never did anything to me” is never a good look.

Bree hugging Jemmy, oh man, I just wanna give her a hug and tell her everything’s gonna be ok.

Jocasta is still trash (there’s no such thing as a benevolent slave owner) but this Murcasta scene is a goddamn delight.

OK BUT NOW I NEED FAN ART OF MURTZ AS A FAIRY KING!

Roger singing to Bree is cute and all, but then using the music for the whole montage is cheesy af and I don’t think I like it.

Is that Arch and Murdina I spy there in the crowd?

Marsali is literally the most fertile woman in the Colonies.

Grannie and Granda trying to get it on veryyy quietly so they don’t wake Jemmy is fucking adorable as shit and I lowkey love it.

Awww, poor LJG. I ship Lord John with someone who actually loves him.

Ok I get Murcasta having to break up because of his regulator stuff, randomly introducing Duncan Innes is a fucking weird choice.

Maria Doyle Kennedy really was the fucking perfect casting choice.

Oh hey, Josiah Beardsley. I was hoping they’d cut out the whole thing with the Beardsleys and Lizzie, but honestly, I’ll take that silliness over Emo!Roger any day.

Good on Jocasta for being a clever MacKenzie, but fuck Roger for only doing the right thing when he’s insulted into it. TL;DR: Fuck Roger.

Is Gerald Forbes going to randomly turn into Neil Forbes at some point like he does in the book?

DOCTOR CLAIRE FOR THE WIN GIVE ME ALL THE DOCTOR CLAIRE.

Srsly, I am here for Jamie shitting on Roger at literally every opportunity. Preach, Jamie. Preach.

“I’ll leave you to yer patients. And to wage war with your wee invisible beasties.” Seriously though, this is my jam. This playful banter. For so much of the series, it’s been like do these two even like each other? Because the writers kept trying to make the show into something it wasn’t. Politics, war, characterization flipflops and assholery FoR tHe DrAmA. It was so hard to see why Claire would ever pick this guy. I’m very cautiously optimistic that more shit like this will be peppered in this year because dammit, this is why we’re all fucking here.

“Then ye must find yerself a lieutenant.” Can it be Marsali? Please? Can Marsali be Claire’s lieutenant?! Because cutting the whole Malva bullshit would be ideal. And Fersali gets so sidelined in the later books that I’d fucking LOVE the writers to make changes so they can be more centered with the rest of the fam. And I am fucking obsessed with Claire and Marsali’s relationship. Marsali is the most Claire Jr. character in this whole damn show and I WANT THEM TOGETHER IN FRONT OF MY EYEBALLS.

Roger pricks his index finger but smudges the blood on Jemmy’s head with his thumb. Not the takeaway of this scene at all. But since I don’t like Roger, that’s my bullet for it.

Also I love that they switched the whole raise a militia thing to a hunt for Murtz & Squad rather than needing to do it because some randos are somewhere doing a thing and then lol jk they left so you can all go home like it is in the book.

Totally called it that they were going to combine the two bonfires and that this was when the kilt was gonna make its triumphant return.

Also I fucking love that it’s the music from Je Suis Prest during the scene when Jamie puts his kilt back on.

And thank fuck they didn’t put any dialogue/voiceover in this scene when Claire sees Jamie. It’s so much more powerful without it.

Aaand we’re burning a cross. At least they were smart enough not to burn a Roman cross, but they’re still burning a cross instead of just doing a bonfire. The scene could be just as powerful had it been adapted to not have a burning cross. Fuck them, tbh.

Remember that time that fuckwit Roberts tried to be like oh we’re not *really* burning a cross so we’re not racist but we’re not gonna address it directly because lol out fanbase is fucking wicked conservative and also a fucking cult who will yell at us for changing anything.

Because seriously that twatwaffle really tried to pretend like a celtic cross isn’t a religious symbol so they’re not having a KKK rally in this white supremacist hellscape. FUCK THAT GUY FOR BOTH HIS SHITTY DECISIONS AND ALSO FOR ACTING LIKE WE’RE ALL FUCKING IDIOTS.

BuT hIsToRy AnD tHe BoOk! Fuck that. Do. Not. Burn. Crosses. But they showed a lynching last year for the sole purpose of showing the shocked white people, so of course they fucking burned a cross.

Jamie being both himself and Colum from the Gathering in season one at the same time is a fucking sight to see.

The look on Knox’s face is *chef’s kiss*. Bruh you don’t even *know* who you’re dealing with.

Aaand in a move that is not at all shocking, Roger hesitates *again*, when Jamie extends his hand to him. Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, that guy. I get that he’s untrained and scared or whatever, but buddy you deal with that shit tomorrow. You don’t fucking leave Jamie hanging when he’s doing this big theatrical thing in an effort to fucking save his land and tenants. Ugh.

FERGUS, SON OF HIS NAME AND HIS HEART! Jamie and Claire’s first kid getting the props he fucking deserves. ILY SO MUCH FERGS!

Marsali’s face when Fergus goes to give his oath. Just the pride and love there. I JUST LOVE THEM SO FUCKING MUCH OK.

I appreciate the commitment to the shitty green screen of that titular Ridge, haha.

That is a *rull* phallic rock in your circle, Murtz.

BUT...ALWAYS TAKE A MURTAGH! *cries*

This is a real gut punch of a scene, tbh. It’s 100% the right thing to do, but damn, right in the fucking feels.

This episode, with my selective amnesia activated per the above lol, has me more hopeful for how a season might be than I’ve been in a while. But this feeling has consistently been crushed in the past. Here’s to hoping the show finally stops doing us dirty!

Outdoor people love outdoor stuff.

Iedereen geeft geld uit en volgens mij in gelijke (relatieve) mate:

De rokers hun dagelijkse tabak, de drinker zijn pintje. De boekenliefhebber bestelt boeken die hij nooit zal uitgelezen krijgen. De keukenprinses bestelt keukengerief die ze maar één keer op de paar jaren nodig heeft. Om nog maar te zwijgen van de vinyl-verzamelaar.

Echt spaarzaam zijn, jezelf dingen ontzeggen, neigt snel naar gierigheid. Een ondergrond van spaarzaamheid houdt je wel scherp om je geldstromen te kanaliseren. Net zoals je risico vs opbrengst afweegt, moet je uitgaven altijd afwegen t.o.v. het plezier dat het kan opleveren.

Mooie objecten kopen, bv een echt mooie jas, zal op één of andere manier minder pijn doen dan bepaalde noodzakelijke praktische zaken. Het geluksgevoel na een aankoop van een mooi object is wel vaak van korte duur.

Het zijn diegene zonder geldzorgen die het luidst roepen dat geld niet zo belangrijk is en al zeker niet gelukkig maakt.

En de Innsbrucker, die bestelt en koopt outdoor materiaal zonder limieten en maten.

Er zijn duidelijke favorieten af te lijnen.

Voor donsjasjes: Salewa

Voor rugzakken: Ortovox

Voor tourski-materiaal (vrouwen): Dynafit

Voor skitour-schoenen bij mannen: Scarpa

Voor vellen: Black Diamond en Kohna

Voor handschoenen: Heller en Zinner

Voor toer-/freeride ski‘s: Black Crows

Slee: Peter Toggler

Die laatste, Peter Toggler, leerde ik pas vorige week kennen op de lift. Daarin vertelde een trotse vader dat de beste en lichtste sleeën uit van bij dit bedrijf uit Südtirol komt.

Hij had er zo net nog 3 aluminium stuks gekocht omdat er een tekort van aluminium aankomt. De supply chain en macroeconomische gevolgen van het hernemen van de economie en de problemen in wereldtransport, hebben hun invloed tot bij de kleine Tiroler...

De merken duizelen voorbij als je de piste en bergen intrekt. Benieuwd wat dat in de zomer gaat geven.

Toch is het outdoor-snobisme hier, goed te verantwoorden (in het hoofd): blootgesteld aan de natuurkrachten, wilt men nu eenmaal graag het goede materiaal. Ge hebt niet alleen uw eigen verantwoordelijkheid, maar ook voor anderen. Koude en vermoeidheid door technische problemen, kan de ervaring totaal teniet doen.

Een ander tof merk dat ik tegenkwam: Doghammer. Ontworpen in Bayeren, geproduceerd in Portugal. Gezelligheid alom met de ‚Hüttenschuhe‘.

Sexier als Birckenstock:

Ik deed in de tussentijd nog enkele Backcountry uitstappen.

Schöntalspitze

Lampenspitze:

Kreuzjöchl:

Schafseitenspitze:

Samengevat:

Van een patient kreeg ik de biografie van Hermann Buhl. Deze Innsbrucker liet het leven in de bergen maar schreef een prachtig boek over de impact en verslavende aantrekkingskracht van de bergen.

Een andere naam die al paar keer viel: David Lama. 50% Nepalees, 50% Tiroler. De mensen wijzen dan naar stijle rotsen aan de Nordkette waar dit natuurtalent als eerste naar bovenklom. In Sportler, de “Tiroolse AS Adventure” heeft op hun bovenste verdieping een poster hangen met de aankondiging van een lezing van deze man. Mooi eerbetoon.

De 23-jarige dichteres Amanda Gorman bewees op de inauguratie van de nieuwe Amerikaanse president Biden al dat poëzie de burger moed kan geven. Daarom vroeg 'De Wereld van Sofie' aan Stijn De Paepe, twitterdichter, gelegenheidsdichter en huisdichter van De Morgen, een gedicht te schrijven om de natie te motiveren.

Dit gedicht bracht in België, toen in volle lockdown, heel wat reactie teweeg.

Ik kwam erop dankzij de prachtige podcast van Radio 1 waarin er 2h met Stijn De Paepe wordt gelachen en gehuild. Hij vat het schoon samen: “Zoek ‘het’ niet te ver.

Een onverwacht inspirerende podcast was „Café-praat mit Wim Balieu. Zoals gezegd: onverwacht. Je verwacht niet direct dat de oprichter van Balls&Glory op minder als 2h verschillende keren verbaasd met scherpe en correcte analyses over ondernemen en hospitality. 2 interessante concepten:

beroepsfierheid

Het verschil tussen een detailist en een perfectionist

Onderzoekers van de Innsbrucker Uni (onder leiding van sportwetenschapper Martin Schnitzer (Schnitzer – Universität Innsbruck) onderzochten (in opdracht van Lebensraum Tirol Holding) hoe de populatie Ski-tourers eruitziet.

Ze ondervroegen 6880 sporters:

60% waren mannen.

de meeste zijn goed opgeleid: 46% heeft een diploma van hoger onderwijs en slechts 5% geeft financiele problemen aan.

De meerderheid is sportief, met 63% die minstens §x per week sport doet

70% is onderweg met vrienden, 30% is alleen onderweg.

90% neemt de auto naar het startpunt.

Men plant in de toekomst meer investeringen om deze groep meer te ondersteunen. Vooral hoe men zich naar het startpunt verplaatst, moet verder bekeken worden. Het busvervoer van de IVB is al fantastisch naar de skigebieden (Stubai Gletscher, Axamer Lizum, ...). Nu nog naar de skitour-gebieden!

Gezelligheid is nooit ver weg. In de Tiroler Weinstube in Innsbruck, voel je je op één of andere manier als toerist direct een halve local. Laatste foto’s om dat gevoel van thuiskomen te weerspiegelen:

My dog is being a picky AF eater. He won't eat his food and frequently throws up bile from an empty stomach. He'll eat the cat's food, and he'll eat his wet food but he will not eat his dry food. I don't want to keep putting stuff in his dry food to get him to eat. I've tried rewarding him with a treat if he eats his dry food but now he's picking it up in his mouth, spitting it out, and looking at me for the treat. (He may be part Dobe if this makes sense)

Note* He will eat his food eventually. It just takes the better part of the day and his breakfast scoop has been in his bowl. (Usually around 6-7PM) I think he's holding out because we used to regularly give him mix with raw or wet? But lately we aren't able to do it all the time.

I do not allow this behavior. Ever. At all.

A long time ago I made a post about how I do not treat my dog like I would treat my (hypothetical) child. This is one of those times. A picky dog receives the same treatment I received as a kid- you eat what I give you or you don’t eat at all. This is one of those things that I would never do to a kid- I am not a restaurant and you can’t make orders, but if you truly dislike something I’m not going to force you to clean your plate by threatening to send you to bed with hunger pangs.

Anorexia in dogs, especially in some breeds (looking @ you GSDs and dobes), combines poorly with picky eating and I will not allow it. You eat what’s in front of you or you don’t eat, period. If we have to have this conversation several times, then I will switch your food when I can spare the budget to get a different bag or flavor, but otherwise what I put in front of you is what you’re stuck with.

We believe Creed developed a mild beef allergy in the past month and I switched him to Solid Gold’s venison formula instead of the beef. Creed does not like the venison formula and will refuse to eat it in favor of the beef kibble. I let him starve for 24 hours and offered his venison kibble again (because right now that’s all I’ve got that’s safe and I have $5 to my name until Friday) and lo and behold, he ate it. I’m willing to put it in a puzzle toy so that he feels he has to earn the right to eat, as he’s far more likely to eat things he finds “yucky” if he works for it, but otherwise I don’t mess with his food if he decides he doesn’t want it.

I should comment that Creed has very over the top food drive, a very high metabolism, and will eat until he bursts- so this behavior is extremely rare for him. I’ve only seen it once before when he was on Canidae’s Pure line, and we went through the same thing. You can eat this or you can starve but I’m not making it pretty for you just because you’re feeling picky. A dog that is less food driven is much more likely to hold out longer than Creed is willing to- after about 12 hours without food Creed will accept pretty much anything.

Most dogs will not starve themselves to the point of self injury. They may lose some weight, but they will not be in critical condition from a day or two of skipped food. This is NOT a method you can use for picky cats (and most obligate carnivores) as they are far more likely to starve themselves to death (reptiles) or become very ill after too many hours without food (cats, ferrets). Dogs are scavenging carnivores and will eat things they previously found distasteful as long as it means they’re going to fill their stomach.

We are starting to switch to Merrick’s Big Game Backcountry formula as he eats that far more readily and he’s done well with it used as treats before. Beef is much further down on the list of ingredients and he does not have the allergic reaction he was having on the Solid Gold beef formula. He is also getting more raw nowadays as he has always done best on partial or full raw, and when I finally get some extra money in we’ll be switching to mostly raw but supplemented once a week with kibble (because he has to eat his Saturday morning meal at my job). But right now he has to eat the venison kibble that he finds yucky and that’s just going to have to be too bad because I don’t have money to go buy him something he likes better and I’m not playing that game having done this with several german shepherds in the past.

Video

Fun fact, the day I filmed with @colin_scummy_morrison out at Manny’s, this was the first time I had got my no footed nacs as flat as they were and thus being born the #flatliner. One of the funnest days riding bc there was no pressure, no incompetent judges, just riding and innovation and progression through the art of filming and going big af. This was the true root of inspiration behind the Ride to the Hills philosophy, which was freeriding, rider judged, tv/filming event, like that of backcountry snowboarding where athletes make contracts on the premise of bad ass video parts. #ridetothehills #flatliner #nofootednac #globaladdiction #itiswhatitis #mannys #220feet (at Bundy canyon dirt Jumps)

Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander

Thoughts on Ep. 506

STAY AT HOOOOOOOME!!!!!

Ok, now that that’s out of the way... I kind of liked this episode. Which surprised me. Because usually I find myself neutral at best. But, considering how much I’ve hated disliked the last few seasons, I guess that feeling mostly neutral means this season has been better? The bar is low, y’all.

Could 1000% still use more Claire though. And more Jamie and Claire. And yes I know I’m saying that in the recap for an episode where the two of them bang.

I said what I said.

The title card’s powder blocker thingy looks like a plague doctor mask. We should bring those back. I found a box that had a bunch of them in it in the closet at my office once. That was weird. Also, stay the fuck at home and 6′ away from people if you have to go out on a supply run or take a walk.

Ooo, a flashback! I miss Scotland.

“Whom do I address, sir?” “I am Samuel Torrington,” said the guy who is most def *not* Samuel Torrington.

I know I shouldn’t laugh because of what’s about to happen, but looool at the girl for stepping in the literal one spot of mud.

Well that was dumb. Why the fuck would you run in between your dad and the guy he’s clearly gonna shoot?

I mean, it’s super sad, I guess. But also hella dumb.

Ah, a lavender pillow. Yes, I know it’s from the book. But between this and the BJR stuff, it’s like, do they know other smells exist?

But yeah, guess I shouldn’t talk since I have lavender hand soap, lavender lotion, lavender tea and a lavender candle.

It’s the best smell.

Ok, I get why Murcasta can’t be endgame. That was a good decision. But including Innes BeCaUsE tHe BoOk is dumb af. They got to the right decision to break up Murcasta, but for the wrong fucking reason.

Like, seriously though, can we please take a moment to appreciate how dumb this is? Like, book!Innes is from Ardsmuir. He’s been part of the squad. He’s basically one of Jamie’s most trusted friends. And he marries Jocasta. Show!Innes is literally some dude we’ve never heard of until last week because the fucking writers were like oh, Jocasta has to marry someone named Duncan Innes. Guess we should make that happen, out of the blue, for no other reason. Lazy idiots...

Jocasta has better handwriting than I do and I can fucking see what I’m doing.

Also lol at her straight up ignoring Roger saying that Jemmy won’t take her money.

Cut to Jemmy crying about the fact that he is now a participant in chattel slavery. I feel you, Jem.

Oh, it’s a cold? Ok fine, but also the whole chattel slavery thing.

ADSOOOOO! Such a good lil floofer! Look how nice he is, bringing them that excellent bug! WHO’S A GOOD KITTY? YOUUU ARE!

I really like Claire’s necklace. Also Claire’s neck. Also Claire’s collarbones. Also Claire. Can we have more Claire please? And less manpain in general?

D’awww, Lord John Grey the awkward gay. GIVE HIM AN APPROPRIATE BOYFRIEND ALREADY, YOU COWARDS.

Tryon is such a fucking douche. So is Quincy Arbuckle.

Well, it might not prevent tumultuous and riotous assembly, but not hanging out in groups larger than 10 sounds like a greAT FUCKING IDEA RIGHT NOW.

STAY AT HOOOOOOOOOOOOME. (If you are able to, and if you have to go to work, WASH YOUR HAAAAAAAAAAAANDS.)

Fergus, Marsali and Bree standing around this room being disappointed with Roger is A Mood™.

Team Give Fergus and Marsali More to Do

Oh, you’ve never been comfortable in your big fancy mansion? Poor you. *plays the world’s smallest violin*

News spreads slowly in/from the backcountry except, apparently, Claire’s medical advice.

Claire Fraser said reproductive rights!!! *ups monthly donation to Planned Parenthood*

The casting for Wylie is fucking perfect. Like kudos to the casting folks again.

I cared more about the Regulator shit in the show than the book because Murtz, but all the “Oh it’s happening! JK, it’s not! JK, it is!” that they took from the book is making me care less about it. Just happen already or fuck off.

Yes, I know it’s gonna happen next week.

Roger shoveling shit makes me happy. Because it’s gross and I do not like Roger.

“You keep shoveling your shit.” -- The Fandom Bree

Wylie should be a caricature with how fucking terrible he is, but let’s be real. We've all run into a guy like that.

Oh, Claire’s rings.

I did some mental gymnastics years ago to try to wrap my brain around why Claire would still wear an emotionally abusive piece of shit’s Fred’s ring. And the fact that the books and the show are like nope, she just likes Fred, drives me up a fucking wall every time.

“He must have been quite the man to inspire such devotion after all these years.” “Nah, he was an asshole. A complete and utter piece of shit. And instead of going with that and all the complexities it brings, we continue to gaslight the audience that he was a Good Dude. Instead of using the ring as a symbol of something more than fucking Fred, we just keep on pretending he didn’t suck.”

I hate everyone involved with refusing to acknowledge how shitty Fred was.

There is literally only one smuggler in the Carolinas.

DO NOT GO WITH THE CREEPY MAN TO A SECOND LOCATION. CLAIRE, THIS IS BEING A WOMAN 101. NEVER GO WITH A CREEP TO A SECOND LOCATION.

“I get a biblical plague.” You get what you deserve, Rog.

Jamie, chill with the extra testosterone. Just punch the bro or something.

Also don’t fucking blame the victim, asshole.

Literalol at Bree showing the women her like stick and sheet fan thing and then cut to all the people with just little squares, barely doing anything.

“Don’t stop! Keep your fires going!” *everyone stops and just stares at the bugs*

Gonna go ahead and take this time to remind folks that’s it’s fucking gross to get married on a plantation. Don’t do that thing.

I know a guy who is like proud of the fact that he’s an asshole. He talks about it like it’s one of his defining traits. This scene with Wylie being like “buddy, I love my shitty reputation” reminds he of that guy. I cannot fucking stand that guy.

*ignores Claire’s feelings about Fred’s dumb ring and headcanons in my own reasons instead because I cannot even with this nonsense anymore*

Ah, the Lindsays like Roger now. I still do not like Roger.

I fucking love this whole Murcasta scene. Can we get one of these for Jamie and Claire? I miss them having big sweeping scenes that have time to breathe and unfold and all the good shit like Murcasta gets here.

The show keeps trying to deny it, but scenes like this are where it’s strongest. But it refuses to accept that this is its lane and keeps trying to go elsewhere.

I miss Jamie and Claire.

I miss the MacKenzies.

I wanna give Jocasta a hug. She’s still trash for enslaving people, though.

Maria Doyle Kennedy is a goddamn treasure. Seriously, her casting was the best choice the show made in years.

That and saving Murtz, of course.

So fucking glad they cut the creepy-ass foot thing.

Jamie, you’re drunk, but read the fucking room. Claire’s right. Just because she says shit from the future all the time doesn’t negate the fact that she’s right about you right now. Also, seriously? You’re taking *this* opportunity to call her out?

Buddy deserved that slap.

Look, I’m always down for the Frasers to fuck. More Fraser fucking, I say. But this is just another instance like their fight at Lallybroch where the fight itself is never actually resolved like it should be. They just fuck about it and magically everything is ok again. Le sigh.

Murcasta gets a big long scene with time to breathe and talk through everything and it’s riveting af. But Jamie and Claire never get that anymore and it pisses me off tbh.

Stop shoehorning in book lines! She can’t see shit through all the skirts and stuff!

I miss the Lallybroch ring. What did they ever end up doing with it? It’s floating around somewhere.

Bonnet is so evil to 11 about fucking everything that it makes him boring. We get it. You’re a bad guy. Do you also have a tiny dick or something that you’re overcompensating for?

Can we please wrap this Bonnet shit up this season? I swear if they drag it out as long as they do in the books I’m gonna be rull annoyed.

Ok so now the war is actually gonna for real happen and I’m like legit out of fucks to give about it because Murtz aside, they’ve done the “it’s coming, jk!” fake out too many times...

Can they try to hang Murtz instead? Because I swear spending half a season with emo!Roger is cruel and unusual punishment.
