I was at Walmart with my daughter yesterday and saw a guy with full on silver hair wearing a Blink182 t-shirt and I just. Reality really punches you in the face like that.

MARCH ON WASHINGTON AND CENTRAL LONDON FOR GAZA
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1:00PM Saturday January 13th, 2024 @ The National Mall 1600 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington DC
12:00PM Saturday January 13th, 2024 in Central London
Please wear a KN-95 mask, and wear layered nondescript clothing and cover your face/hair! I have seen many people use keffiyehs for this. People will be recording and taking pictures!
Dress for cold weather but know marching warms you up quickly, so dress in layers you can remove and carry without uncovering your face and hair. Ideally you should bring a backpack to carry food, water, first aid, ID, etc. It may be good to bring multiple or removable parts of your outfit if you plan on walking from your residence or car.
Tumblr media
Please blur out peoples faces before posting to social media!
Bigotry & hatred will not be tolerated.
Even if you are unable to attend, please reblog and repost the graphics to other social medias to get the word out. You may have a follower or friend who can attend.
If you live outside of DC or Central London: talk to your local organizations! They may be able to organize transportation to this event. For buses to DC, you will likely have to pay a fee, but it is probably going to be cheaper and safer than driving to DC and parking in their $40-$50/hour parking garages. Also look into Amtrak, Greyhound buses, trains, or other means of transportation.

I am always thinking about post-canon RoyJamie. Roy moves out of his own way. All that work they put into becoming better people and becoming friends works out so well. They’re beautiful together, Roy and Jamie. Incredibly codependent and god, they’ll live under each other’s skin if they could but boy do they make it work. It baffles everyone around them but they don’t even realise it’s not normal to spend that much time around your partner. Freak4freak but very much in love about it.
They’re not perfect of course. They fight like any couple would. Probably more than most couple even. Neither of them are easy individuals. They both learned to hurt each other long before they ever fell in love and it shows sometimes. But they learn to give each other space, to take a breather when they’re furious. This understanding comes with time and a lot of therapy of course. They weren’t always so good at that but they learn to be patient with each other.
Even if talking about feelings always feels like pulling teeth, they force themselves to do it. It’ll never come naturally to them but it does become easier over time.
Anything they can’t solve themselves, they go to therapy for. They go to couples therapy because you don’t only need help when your relationship is falling apart. You’re gonna need help along the way and they know not to take that for granted. Both of them still see Dr Sharon individually too. They’re better off for it.
Jamie loves Phoebe. They get along like house on fire and it makes Roy so happy, to see his favourite people get along this way. It doesn’t take long before Jamie becomes Uncle Jamie. The next Uncle’s Day, Phoebe has two Uncles to celebrate and she tackles it with gusto. Jamie definitely will cry a little about it. That boy staring at his Roy Kent poster in his childhood bedroom could have never known that one day he’ll have all the love he could have ever asked for and it’d come from Roy Kent himself.
They’re it for each other, that much they both know. Roy worries, of course he worries. A 15 year age gap looks like a lot when you’re 40 and your partner is 25. Worries he’s too old for Jamie, that he’ll hold him back. He’s 40 and all he wants to do is stay at home and read a book cuddled up with Jamie but would Jamie want that too or would he be giving up nights out at clubs for him?
Jamie, who used to wake up at 4am to train with Roy. Jamie, who is very much aware of the age gap and has definitely thought about what it’ll be like as they both grow older. Jamie who would live in Roy’s ribcage if he could. Jamie who will choose Roy no matter what. Roy will understand soon enough. And what do you know? A 15 year age gap doesn’t look too bad when you’re 85 and your partner is 70.
Their wedding is beautiful. 2 years, maybe 3 years after getting together. Roy proposed but Jamie had a ring too. When they get married, every greyhound who has ever played under Ted will descend onto London, Ted included. It began with Roy and Jamie in the locker room, touching foreheads in anger and it ends with Roy and Jamie at the altar, touching foreheads, so in love with each other. Husbands. What a beautiful life they will live together.

Roy Kent x Reader
0.6k words
Warnings: Language, mentions of age gap (ages not mentioned, but reader is in their 20s, Roy is early 40s), Roy being a little insecure
Tumblr media
Roy gulped as he watched you walk down the hall at the Dog Track. From your first day at Richmond, it was obvious that he wasn’t the only person who couldn’t keep his eyes off of you. But, after that night at Ola’s and drinks at his favorite pub, he definitely found himself noticing more often. Especially when the people gawking at you were young, handsome footballers who were half his age and still in the prime of their careers.
Sure, you smiled at them and joked with them, you accepted their invitations to party after matches, sometimes you even accepted their sweaty hugs, but they weren’t who you were sneaking into the boot room and empty offices to kiss. And they weren’t who you were winking at now as you passed each other in the hall.
It dawned on Roy that he hadn’t taken you on a proper date yet. Yeah, the two of you had texted pretty much nonstop since that night when you both admitted to your feelings, and you’d grabbed drinks after work a few times now, outings that usually ended up with heavy kissing and petting in his car, and one time you’d even stopped by his place with some paperwork and ended up staying for hours, sitting in his kitchen and laughing over a shared bottle of wine.
But none of that satisfied him. Roy was more old-fashioned than that. Hookups and one-night stands were old hat to him, but this situationship- a vocabulary word Keeley had taught him when she was reading Cosmo during lunch one day- was not something he was used to. He liked knowing where he stood with a woman, whether that was as a boyfriend or just as someone to buy their drinks before paying him back in the bedroom. With you, he had no fucking idea what was going on other than the fact that you sent him TikToks that actually made him laugh and that you seemed to enjoy pulling him into the boot room when no one was watching.
Deciding that he’d had enough of whatever this was, he reached out and grabbed your wrist, prompting raised eyebrows from you.
“Need something, Coach?” The smile that played on your unfairly kissable lips made Roy’s heart twitch.
He cleared his throat, letting his hand fall back to his side, immediately missing the feeling of your skin. “I, er, was wondering what you’re doing Friday night.” He shifted his weight onto his good leg. “I’d like to take you out.” He stopped, glancing sideways, his eyes hitting a poster of one of those young, handsome Greyhounds who’d probably do a much better job of this. “On a date,” he clarified.
How did your smile manage to light up even brighter?
“Was wondering when you’d ask,” you teased, giving him a playful shove.
Relief flooded his chest, enough for him to tease you back. “You could’ve fucking asked, you know,” he countered with a smirk. “It’s the twenty-first century. Feminism and whatnot.”
Down the hall, a voice called your name, summoning you into some meeting. “Be right there!” you called over your shoulder. You turned back to Roy, mischief sparkling in your eyes. “I know. But I wanted you to ask. I’m kind of an old-fashioned girl that way.” Not caring that a group of players was walking by, you stood on tiptoe and pressed a kiss to his scruffy cheek before turning around. “See you later, Coach.”
Roy felt like a statue as he watched you saunter away, wondering if the jaunty spring in your step was for his benefit. He was pretty sure he had his answer when you paused at the doorway and glanced back at him, offering him another one of those winks. He relished the look of astonishment on the young players’ faces as he turned on his heel and walked back towards his own office.
Roy Kent definitely still had it.

We all know Dylan has his cat Schrödinger, do any you think any of the other counselors have pets, either pre-canon or in the future? What kind do you envision for each of them? (I feel like surely Laura the pre-veterinary student would have some critters at least!)
ooh this is a good ask, thank you!
I love pets, so this might be more biased towards having them than not.
Laura: She always had pets, that's a big reason she wanted to go into veterinary medicine. I can see her having a hamster or pet rats in undergrad. When she gets into vet school, she adopts two of the teaching dogs when they retire. By the time she's a full veterinarian, there are like 3 rabbits, two cats, and two dogs in their house. How do they feed them all? Don't question it.
Max: Max grew up with little dogs, and not much else. He now has a small zoo with Laura, see above. His favourite is the big fluffy orange cat they adopted after finding him under their porch with no collar or microchip. They had to shave him down due to mats and then dressed him in little sweaters and Max fell in love.
Dylan: Dylan has Schrodinger, of course. I see him as 100% a cat guy. After the events of the Quarry, he fosters a pregnant cat for a shelter and names all the kittens after famous scientists to keep the theme (Einstein, Oppenheimer, Bohr, Franklin, Curie, etc). He keeps Oppy for himself <3
Ryan: I don't think he grew up with pets, and he wasn't sure if he really wanted any. I can see him inheriting a little Betta fish in a bowl from a roommate in art school, and he researches how to properly care for it. From there he gets into fishkeeping. It starts with that betta in a 3 gallon tank, then 5 gallons, then he gets a 40 breeder off like marketplace for $20 and he discovers live plants and tropical schooling fish. If he and Dylan get together, he spends too much time trying to keep the cats away from his tanks lol
Emma: I'm not sure what Emma would have. Maybe something like an Italian greyhound, it sits in the background of videos like a little derp. Or she ends up rescuing a bunch of mutts from the shelter.
Abi: I can see Abi having a bonded pair of rabbits! Or a medium sized dog like a Labrador Retriever. Something soft and friendly that can help her with her anxiety if she gets overwhelmed at home.
Kaitlyn: I love the idea of Kaitlyn having a big pittie or Rottweiler or Doberman, something with scary dog privilege but is really a big baby
Jacob: He gets a golden retriever because he is a golden retriever boyfriend.
Nick: I think he would have something more exotic, like an iguana or a cockatiel.

We’ve created an ad hoc medical unit out of rooms on the mother-baby unit (not rooms bunched together! Not “they get that hall, we get this hall”! I can’t stress how random the rooms are. It’s like postpartum patient, broken leg patient, cancer patient, postpartum, postpartum, guy chilling out getting IV antibiotics, and so on and so forth for 40 rooms. Anyway) and interacting with maternity nurses has been genuinely great. I imagine it’s like when a pit bull looks at a greyhound. Like l we are wonderful examples of diversity within the same species but we ain’t the fuckin same.

Dog Fortress 2: The First One: Electric Boogaloo
🪴🕷️🪶🦘Sniper🪶🦘🕷️🪴--- Australian Staghound AKA Kangaroo Dog
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Australian Staghound is not recognized as a breed, but is a type of sighthound that is used to pursue (course) a variety of quarry (game). Although it is not recognized as a breed, some "lines" have been bred together longer than some recognized modern breeds. The best way to visualize the Australian Staghound is to blend together the characteristics of the Scottish Deerhound with the Greyhound. This is a running dog with the physical characteristics that would be referred to as the Greyhound prototype. It has long legs, a deep chest, and strong muscles. The Staghound has great visual acuity, and some have been bred for some scenting ability while on course. 
Staghounds are very fast but are not hyperactive. To some people, the Staghound even appears to be a bit lazy around the home once mature. The coursing instinct in the American Staghound is unsurpassed, so anything that runs may be considered quarry. Males stand at a maximum of 32 inches at the shoulder.
🎞️🌀🦎🕴🏾Spy🕴🏾🦎🌀🎞️ --- Beauceron
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These dogs are muscular, rugged, and large, standing as high as 27.5 inches at the shoulder, yet graceful and in all ways balanced. The Beauceron is imposing and powerful, but also remarkably smart, spirited, and a versatile herder. Their dark black coats feature handsome squirrel-red accents, including the red feet that give the breed its French nickname Bas-Rouge ('red stockings').
The long head is well chiseled, and the dark brown eyes project expression breed fanciers describe as frank and confident. They're not for novice owners, who might end up being owned by their dominant dog instead of the other way around. That said, well-trained and socialized Beaucerons are levelheaded watchdogs and guardians, especially good with the young, the small, and the defenseless. I Just got all that info from the kennel club website btw.
❤️‍🩹🫀🩸🕊️Medic🕊️🩸🫀❤️‍🩹 --- Giant Schnauzer
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Giant Schnauzer is a large and extremely intelligent dog of German decent. They are territorial, yet good with people. The males stand at a minimum of 25.5 inches at the shoulder, and are expected to be a larger and more powerful version of the Standard Schnauzer. For some reason, there was not much information on these dogs.
🌭🌪️🐜🐆Scout🐆🐜🌪️🌭 --- Wolfhound {Juvenile}
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wolfhounds are sweet, loyal dogs. They love to be around their family and enjoy plenty of affection. Because of their strong prey drive, only let them off-leash in a securely fenced-in area.
Otherwise, they may take off after something and get into a dangerous situation. The defining characteristic of the Irish wolfhound is its imposing height, as it is the tallest breed of dog. But a good wolfhound is more than just a tall dog. It is a sturdy, yet swift dog, capable of running down and killing large animals. It has a general greyhound build, only larger and stockier.
The legs are long, the body comparatively narrow, the loin slightly arched, the chest deep and the waist moderately small. Like most sighthounds, the tail is long and carried low. These dogs can run at 30 to 40 miles per hour and they are definitely not snap-to-it obedience prospects. 
🪵♟️🔫🪨Heavy🪨🔫♟️🪵 --- Caucasian Shepherd Dog
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Caucasian Shepherd dog is a serious guardian breed and should never be taken lightly.
The Russian Caucasian is bold, fearless, self-confident, and fierce when a threat is present, but he is soft, devoted, kind, and endearing to his family, including other family pets.
The Caucasian Shepherd dog is known for its strong protective instincts and intelligence. They are independent and can be highly intelligent, but they also have a strong will and may require consistent and patient training.
🍾🧨🍻💥Demoman💥🍻🧨🍾 --- Bloodhound
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This Scottish breed is reported to be gentle and is tireless when following a scent. Because of its strong tracking instinct, it can be willful and somewhat difficult to obedience train and handle on a leash. Bloodhounds are known to have an affectionate and even-tempered nature to humans, with them considered to be excellent family pets.
🧠🌻🌾🦾Engineer🦾🌾🌻🧠 --- Miniature Bull Terrier
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This dog is so fucking small it's not even funny anymore I'm crying. Anyway, onto actual information.
Like Bull Terriers, Miniature Bull Terriers are loving and, like many terrier breeds, they can be stubborn at times; but despite this they make great dogs for people with limited space.
Miniature Bull Terriers are known to be stubborn and courageous. Despite their diminutive stature, they will readily challenge larger dogs. However, as with any dog, owners can reduce the likelihood of confrontations by providing appropriate training. They are very energetic and playful and love people, but care must be taken as they are variable around other dogs.
Miniature Bull Terriers require little grooming. A quick brushing once a day or a few times a week is sufficient. Sunscreen must be used on any sparse white sections of fur around the face, ears, hindquarters or stomach when outdoors (especially in summer between the hours of 10am and 2pm) to avoid sunburn and cancer.
💢🥀🦴💥Soldier💥🦴🥀💢 --- Cane Corso
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Smart, trainable, and of noble bearing, the assertive and confident Cane Corso is a peerless protector. The Corso's lineage goes back to ancient Roman times, and the breed's name roughly translates from the Latin as 'bodyguard dog.'
At nearly 28 inches at the shoulder and often weighing more than 100 pounds, with a large head, alert expression, and muscles rippling beneath their short, stiff coat, Corsi are at a glance intimidating creatures. Their imposing appearance is their first line of defense against intruders. As one writer put it, 'An understated air of cool competence, the kind of demeanor you'd expect from a professional bodyguard, is the breed's trademark.'     
Corsi are intelligent, loyal, eager to please, versatile, and intensely loyal to their humans, but are also assertive and willful, and can end up owning an unwitting owner. As with any other big guardian dog, responsible breeding and early socialization with people and other dogs is vital.
💥🔥🌈🌻Pyro🌻🌈🔥💥 --- Xoloitzcuintli
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Taka the fire dog is there because they are my scar guide for dog Pyro. Arguably the most unique-looking dog breed out there, the Xoloitzcuintli is generally known as an intelligent, alert, and affectionate breed with an unyielding loyalty to their owners. The correct Xoloitzcuintli pronunciation is “show-low-eats-queent-lee” but they can also be known as the Mexican Hairless Dog or “Xolo” for short. This show-stopping pup is an ancient breed, with origins dating back to over 3000 years ago.
🧠👁️🏵️💃🏼Ms. Pauling💃🏼🏵️👁️🧠 --- Parti Poodle
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like all Poodles, these dogs are highly intelligent. They require daily exercise and interaction in order to be happy and well-mannered. A bored Poodle is likely to become destructive or show unwanted behaviors such as separation anxiety or reactivity. Poodles tend to be a “nervy” breed, meaning they can easily develop anxiety.
It is extremely important to brush your Poodle’s coat several times a week and have it trimmed and bathed every one or two months by a professional groomer. Matting can happen quickly in their dense, coarse coat, and it can become so bad that the dog needs to be shaved down to the skin.

For the word thing: Greyhound, goal and/or grin.
Many thanks!
I did fifteen minute word sprints for each of these, resulting in 323 new words.
Snippets inclusive of the new bits below
Greyhound (The Vacant House Behind Our Home) - 87 new words
The good news: Dani had a team. There was a locker room, and a room of people dressed in uniform who smiled kindly at him and understandingly at the jacket protecting his modesty. One of them ran to fetch him clothes, and another approached him with a towel and an inhumanly kind smile. He introduced himself as Sam. He welcomed Dani to Richmond. Holding out a football uniform, he informed Dani that he was a greyhound now. He pulled on the clothes but stopped to examine he shirt he had been given. His name, of course, did not appear, but it also bore no number - not even a sponsor. It was right blue, with a long red stripe down one side, dripping red like blood. Over the stripe, in the spot above the heart, the white figure of a dog blinked at him trapped within the confines of a dark blue dark cage. Unnerved, he quickly pulled the shirt over his head.
Goal (I still feel like the same person I've been) - 40 new words
Richmond needed a striker, someone to make plays and score goals, and Roy wanted someone with actual fucking experience, not some young twat fresh out of the U-23s who still creamed his pants when he got minutes. That was the first thing he'd been introduced to at Richmond: Roy's anger, and how he wasn't picky about it landed. Which was fine. Jamie had plenty of exposure to the dickishness of professional footballers coming up through the academy. He played professionally at the highest level. He didn't get starry eyed anymore. So Roy Kent was a giant dick- who cared?
Grin (I'm a fine line on a razor's edge (you couldn't ask me to be worse) - 196 new
Jamie stepped forward. James's fist turned white where it clenched around the bottle. "If you want my help, if you want anything to do with me, then you owe me that." It didn't sound like him talking; sounded like someone else, someone carved strong and sturdy who never would've put up with this shit in the first place. With his heartbeat rushing through his ears, he made his demand: "You owe me an apology." For a bizarre moment, he wondered if maybe his dad couldn't hear him. If maybe he hadn't spoken at all, he'd just imagined it really vividly the way he did sometimes, because his dad stood there, bottle in hand, not saying anything or making any sudden movements - although Jamie was ready for it this time, knew damn well what kind of trap he was setting for himself, speaking to his dad like that. He was ready. Then James grinned at him, and he wasn't ready at all. "Nah. I don't owe you shit."
