STUDY : Odo.

— basics.

▸ is your muse tall / short / average ? 6′0″ (and described as tall)

▸ are they okay with their height ? it’s one of the few things he has complete control over, so. yes.

▸ what’s their hair like ? slicked back, sandy. the texture is only approximate to real hair. it’s in mimicry of the scientist who ‘raised’ him. it’s never out of place in the slightest, but if it is, something’s seriously wrong.

▸ do they spend a lot of time on their hair / grooming ? it takes about half a second to achieve his usual look -- but it wasn’t always that way. recreating hair is not easy but it’s straightforward, and so he’s spent a lot of time practicing it. he won’t often deviate, but if he does experiment, it’s usually because of someone else’s passing comment.

▸ does your muse care about their appearance / what others think ? terribly. he’s both extremely self-conscious AND has an image to keep up, one he’s fabricated to appear more authoritative. at the same time, he’s not uncomfortable in his body -- just finely aware that he’s wearing an imperfect mask and that what lay beneath breeds hatred and fear. he’s extremely protective over who gets to see evidence of his natural state.

— preferences.

▸ indoors or outdoors ? outdoors. but he’s spent most of his life inside. :/

▸ rain or sunshine ? both, very strongly.

▸ forest or beach ? he would loooooove to see both, some day.

▸ precious metals or gems ? only in terms of an interest in their physical properties.

▸ flowers or perfumes ? no sense of smell. :( but he does love to look at a flower!

▸ personality or appearance ? hahah. personality. imagine the irony.

▸ being alone or being in a crowd ? alone... just not isolated.

▸ order or anarchy ? ORDER, babey. he sucks.

▸ painful truths or white lies ? painful truths, GOD the painful truths. he’d far rather know, any day -- and he dishes them out, too.

▸ science or magic ? science. he’s very much a detective.

▸ peace or conflict ? peace. but he’s never really seen it.

▸ night or day ? either.

▸ dusk or dawn ? same.

▸ warmth or cold ? warmth, although it’s more difficult to shapeshift.

▸ many acquaintances or a few close friends ? a few close friends. he says for ages he doesn’t need anyone, but he’s a big sad liar.

▸ reading or playing a game ? reading uwu

— questionnaire.

▸ what are some of your muse’s bad habits ? oh boy. self-isolation, self-destruction... not asking for help when he needs it. taking matters into his own hands. and he’s P-E-T-T-Y, overly sensitive, fiercely independent, touchy. he’s short-tempered and grouchy and gnarly to be around a lot of the time -- and rarely happy. he’s cynical and sarcastic every chance he can get away with it, stubborn, haughty, condescending, and self-conscious to the point of pushing everyone away... yeah he’s got issues lmao and he perpetuates this deflective image out of a deep fear of rejection. but he’s also a little tsundere with a very soft heart. :P

▸ has your muse lost anyone close to them ? how has it affected them ? for the longest time, he hasn’t allowed himself to become close to anyone. he has, however, seen a lot of death and a lot of injustice, and it has informed his view of the universe. he also reacted so strongly to the threat of kira’s execution that it shook him out of a kind of hypnosis :’0

▸ what are some fond memories your muse has ? there aren’t many lol. he had absolutely no childhood and grew up in the midst of decades-long social and political turmoil. but after the end of the occupation, he, like the rest of bajor, began to heal, and im sure the fondest memories of his life are with the family he finds aboard the same station that saw so much misery.

perhaps the only other early memories he has resembling something fond are of seeing wildlife while under mora’s care. :”)

▸ is it easy for your muse to kill ? he won’t, as a rule. he does kill someone, but he won’t unless it’s accidental or the situation is extreme (wartime). even then, he won’t touch a weapon (he already is one). :)))

▸ what’s it like when your muse breaks down ? he,,,, literally melts...... dsfjglkfd he becomes a mess!! in spite of what he projects, he’s very emotional and very easily emotionally influenced, almost a little bit of a teenager. he can’t physically cry, but when super angry he WILL lash out and become surprisingly destructive. he’ll also shut down and/or lock himself away... he’s so miserable lmao and he actually doesn’t handle it all that well

▸ is your muse capable of trusting someone with their life ? oh hell ye. for someone so chronically paranoid and kinda lone wolf, he works so well in a team afsgdjkdf

▸ what’s your muse like when they’re in love ? this goo... is the softest lover,,, ‘lover’ is kind of a lofty word i dont like to use but that’s what he is, a huge hopeless closet romantic. :/ he daydreams and get distracted ... he’s so dumb... he reads self-help books and shitty romance novels adgfhjs and he’ll pay EVERY cost to make sure his crush never knows, but it’ll still show in a thousand little ways,,, its so stpuid... it’s gentle... a little bit shy but earnest and certain..... it is intense, unwavering loyalty and devotion and attention, but it’s honest, too, grounded in the reality of the world and the fact that people are deeply flawed and corruptible.

he’s also so ??? perplexed by it all that one time he thinks a small disagreement means its over, and so he quietly and respectfully accepts it but doesnt think to ASK. oh you sweet summer slime ://///

What is the wallpaper on your computer screen? Why did you choose it? It’s one of the default Mac wallpapers, but I picked the shot with a pinkish hue, because pink. The default ones are already pretty enough, so I don’t feel the need to scour the web for the perfect wallpaper image. Is there a pattern on the pants you’re currently wearing? Which one? I’m currently wearing a romper. It’s just plain sky blue. Do you like going to baby showers? Do you go only for the cake? As an Asian, I can tell you baby showers are hugely a first-world thing. I think the more hip, Western-influenced, and upper-middle millennials and Gen Z Asian crowd can have the means to do them, but it’s like 90% not a thing here. In a region where there’s poverty in front of you, only the rich can pull them off; and for most of us, the biggest concern is that the baby remains healthy. Who is the person you text the most in your life? What relation are you? Gabie, probs. Girlfriend. Angela, my best friend, comes a close second. Mexican food, Chinese food, Italian food, French food or American food? Chinese > Mexican > Italian > American > French. I think I only like French cuisine for their pastries and escargot, but that’s about it.

Has there ever been a time in your life, you felt sexually undecided? Yeah. I still get confused about it from time to time, so eventually I just slapped the term demisexual on me and by far it’s been the most fitting for me. Does your mother annoy you when the holidays come along in the year? No? If anything I get worried a lot more because she comes home a lot late, and it always turns out to be because she spends the entire evening gift-shopping for family, friends, and co-workers hahahaha. What is the color scheme of your absolute favorite fast-food restaurant? I don’t really have a favorite fast food place anymore... if it counts, maybe Yellow Cab? They have a yellow and black color scheme, like the literal yellow cabs of New York. Do you think tattoos and piercings are sexy on the opposite sex? I don’t mind them; I don’t think of them in terms of being ~sexy lmao. Do people ever ask you to do things they’re too short to accomplish? Nah I’m usually the short one who needs people to reach stuff for me. Do your siblings bring people around that your parents don’t approve of? Mmm nope, not really. My mom loves my sister’s boyfriend, and as far as I know my brother doesn’t bring anybody home. Is there carpet or hardwood floor in your bedroom? Hardwood. I don’t know if there’s any Filipino home that has carpet floors. Do you check the texture of things first or the smell of them? As much as I hate this habit of mine, I tend to want to know the smell of everything. I only check the texture if I think it’s going to be satisfying, like if it’s anything like slime or sand. Have you ever broken the arm or head off of a trophy? How did you do this? Nope. I don’t think I’ve already even held a trophy before. Do you believe in superstitious things such as breaking a mirror? I only follow one superstition that has something to do with my school, but that’s it. I don’t obsess over it and I know it’s fake, but ‘following’ what the superstition says hasn’t gotten me in trouble in my last four years in university, so I just continue following it HAHA. Do you get sick of people who call themselves bipolar all the time? I do hate it but fortunately a lot of people are now more sensitive when it comes to mental health and mental health issues. I don’t hear this word thrown as much as it was in like 2011 anymore. Ever have an ultra-sound performed on you? What was it for? Nah, no reason to. I’ve only had X-rays of my spine taken. Do you like those ‘end of the world,’ ‘Armageddon’ movies? Never did. I was never into the whole apocalypse/disaster/wartime genres. What color are the headphones you have at this moment in time? I don’t have headphones. And I also don’t have earphones anymore :( I want a new pair soooo baaaaadddd. Ever been choked severely on something during lunch at your school? I’ve never choked on solids, but I’ve choked on water several times, when the droplets get stuck in your throat and your lungs get all confused and you’re left gasping for air but you just choke some more because the water in your throat blocks any air from coming in, so you end up coughing to near death. The last time this happened was during a lunch break in my INTERNSHIP, and it was so embarrassing because I couldn’t tell them what was happening, I was just coughing frantically and slowly turning red lol.

Do you remember who you sat next to in Kindergarten? Who was it? Yeah, the girl in front of me in the class list was I think Kaira, and the one after me was Kaye. I was friends with Kaira throughout high school and we still are today, but back in kinder she used to be my bully. But during recess, I usually sat beside a girl named Raegan, who was one of my good friends for a while. Has anyone ever compared you to an animal? Which one(s)? I don’t think so. Has anyone, including yourself, forgot it was your own birthday? On my 18th birthday my high school friend group completely forgot. It makes me feel like shit every time it’s brought up, so we’re not bringing it up tonight. Chocolate or strawberry birthday cake? Choose one. Chocolate! Do you eat more vegetables or fruits? What’s your favorite fruit/veggie? I loooooove me some vegetables – I’d try all of them in a heartbeat. My favorite is broccoli. And I hate most fruits, but I’ll give an exception to avocado. Do you abbreviate things way too often? Do you get called out on it? Not really, I just use the usual shortcuts – lol, lmao, rn, tbh, idk. My mom would get confused sometimes and ask me for the meaning of some abbreviations I use, but she doesn’t ‘call me out’ on it. Ever been in one of those church Christmas plays before? Why/why not? Hahahaha no, because I never wanted to join and it’s one of those things I’d never allow myself to be in no matter how much my mom forced me. What is the funniest conjunction you use throughout your day? ...Are conjunctions supposed to be funny? Have you ever thrown a roll of toilet paper at someone before? Nope. Does the dentist calm you or does it tend to stress you out? I like the dentist. I’ve never had big issues with my teeth (save for my worst ever toothache last year), so the idea of having my teeth cleaned and treated is actually pretty calming to me. The one time it ever stressed me out was when my dentist had to extract a dead tooth and he had to put three injections on the roof of my mouth. It was the first time I’ve ever caught myself literally shaking in fear, huhuhuhu. If you had to choose, which is the worst movie you’ve ever seen? Jack and Jill, for movies that are objectively bad. But in general, Knives Out was a big fucking waste of my time and money. Have you ever found yourself talking to an inanimate object? When I say sorry for bumping into them D: Do you like movies that are originally based on children’s books? Not all of them. Some were hits for me like Charlotte’s Web and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and some I didn’t really care for, like Coraline. Is your hair more thick or thin? Is it more curly or straight? THICK. So thick I could never pull off a bob, even though I’ve had the desire to adopt it as my look for a while now. It’s straight but it’ll sometimes be wavy. Something on the human body that grosses you out the most: Raised moles. Do you like meeting new people? What’s your most common greeting? Uhhhh I’m okay with meeting new people but it still depends on their crowd or the air that they carry around them. If I have a meh feeling about them or if their body language initially rubs me off the wrong way, I’d be hesitant. With my situation now, I usually say hi, tell them my name, we exchange our courses, then we talk about school stuff to break the ice. Ever think of what it would be like to be a mermaid or merman? Not really. Ariel has since showed me that it wouldn’t mean much, so I never actively wanted to be a mermaid. If you had to choose, which celebrity would you date out of all of them? Kristen Stewart or Hayley Williams. Do people feel sorry for you for no reason? Have they ever? I don’t think so. Idk, idk how people feel about me. What is something that bothers you about most surveys in general? I never liked surveys that go too deep, like those that ask me what I think of socialism or abortion, hhhhhhhh. I answer surveys so I can talk about my dog, say what I learned in school, or discuss who I had lunch with, and not to get all political. Simple yes/no questions can also be annoying so most times I elaborate. Who would you take with you on a stranded/deserted island? Maybe Gab? She’s super smart and resourceful and makes everything work haha. Do you have your own personal boom box in your bedroom? No. I was too young to want to have one. Would you survive if zombies were to take over the world? Why or why not? Probably not. I can’t even cross the street without holding on for dear life to my friends’ arms lmaoooooo. What would you say is the worst part of high school period? Adjusting. I took a while to, and when I hadn’t yet, it was the worst. I was left out of everything, had no opportunity to figure out who I was or what I needed at the time, and nothing and no one approached me unless I did so myself. What is your favorite color of apple? Red, green or yellow? I don’t like apples. Ever want to be a doctor? Is it because of all the hospital shows? I never wanted to be a doctor as a kid, but now I do see the point in going to med school. I’ve always liked and been good at memorizing names and terms, and biology is my favorite subject along with history, so a part of me thinks what could have happened if I pursued some specialization of med. As for hospital shows, I’ve never seen one. What do you think of all these reality shows that try to alter personality? I’m not sure what they mean? Don’t they all do that? Reality TV personalities always seem like much exaggerated versions of themselves. Where are your favorite pair of shoes in the whole world right now? I wear it too much but my Onitsuka Tiger sneakers are a k e e p e r. So comfy and such a classy-looking pair. Do you live anywhere near a mall? If you live in the Philippines, there is an 80–90% chance you live near a mall. In my case, I just live quite far from the main entrance of our gated village so it’s a bit of a drive; but the village itself is like two minutes away from one mall, four minutes away from two others, and five minutes away from still another one. Malling is pretty much the national pastime, so we’re loaded with them. Do you like drawing smiley faces or do you think they’re overrated? They’re pretty harmless, I don’t see why they should be deemed as overrated lol. If you were dying who would you say goodbye to first out of everyone? Gabie. Are you someone who actually likes to babysit children? I’ve never formally baby-sat someone, actually; at best I was put in charge of my younger siblings and cousins and looked out for them and took up the position of the responsible older sister whenever our parents weren’t watching. But to me it was already kinda like babysitting based on what I’ve seen in American TV hahahaha, and I always liked that sort of task. Do you ever have those ‘ah ha!’ moments? Do those annoy you? If the a-ha moment meant I was stupid in the past, then yes it would annoy me. Like for example if I’m driving somewhere and already far from home, then had an a-ha moment that I forgot something important back at the house, then I’d be pretty pissed with myself. But if the a-ha moment was something like a realization, I’d be relieved to have it. Do you hardly ever remember where you put things at? YES I HATE that about myself. I’ve lost earphones, my Hydro Flask, my yellow pad paper, readings, jackets, hair ties, socks, and school IDs because of it. What’s your favorite lunch meat, if you even like any in the first place? I don’t eat lunch meat. When is the next time you’ll eat a cupcake, if you know when? I have no clue :( Cupcakes are one of my favorite desserts though, but they’re just so hard to find or get. Where did you last buy socks from? What do those socks look like? The last time I bought socks was like 2015, back when they were a trend here for some reason. It has a bacon and eggs design, and I actually just wore them the other day haha. Do you ever lay in the grass and look up at the sky, just because? I’d look up at the sky, but not on grass. I find it itchy. When do you normally go to sleep on the weekends? Depends on what and how much I did during the day and how tired I am. Like just earlier (Friday evening) I was passed out by 9:30 because I stayed up til 2 AM working on a Powerpoint and had to wake up at 6 in the morning to continue working. But other nights I could stay up till midnight. Have you ever met someone with the same ‘biggest fear’ as you? I haven’t met anyone afraid of knives and injections and any sharp stuff like me, no. Do you ever have movie nights with your significant other? We don’t do movie nights ever, which I recently and finally realized when we did sit down and watch Titanic together a couple of weeks ago lmaaaaaaaaao. It was honestly really fun doing it and I remember remarking that we in fact never did movie nights in the last four years. Would you rather write with a pen or a pencil? Why is this? Pen. It’s just more convenient for me. Pencils get blunt as you use them, and I’m too impatient for that. Do you like candy bars? Are you trying to slack off of them? I honestly have nothing against them, but given that I have several many relatives who work overseas and have brought home candy bars as pasalubong (gifts) in the last 22 years of my existence... you can imagine how tired I can get of them. What is your favorite number? Is it significant with your life? 4. Not really. It just reminds me of Beyoncé and happier days haha. Are you afraid of being kidnapped if you go outside at nighttime? Yup. That’s why I never walk outside at night except when I’m at a mall or in school. I just drive everywhere. Has your mother ever called your school because of your grades? No. Whenever I struggled in school it was always just due to either 1 or 2 subjects, so there was no reason to ring up our adviser as it was never that worrisome in my case. I was never failing all my classes at the same time, basically. In the next twenty minutes, what will you be doing and where will you be? Maybe another survey or watching BoJack Horseman? Idk. It’s 3:44 AM and I’m pretty awake so I dunno if I’d still want to sleep. Do you like showers or baths better? Why did you choose your choice? Showerrrr. It’s quicker, plus it’s what I do more often. Are you a controversial person? Do your views oppose others? This was me as a teenager because I thought it would be cool to be edgy and have a different opinion than everyone else BLECK please delete that person lmfao. But now, hmmm the way I’d explain it is that in the case of e.g. being pro-choice, LGBT, critical of the Catholic Church, basically the more liberal ideas, I seem to be in the majority opinion about relevant issues on the Internet/social media.

But I live in the Philippines, where society is still mostly traditional, conservative, modest, and disapproving of a lot of the progressive stuff happening in the rest of the world – hell, divorce isn’t even legal here. That said, a lot of my views which would otherwise line up with those on social media or those in like US or Canada or Europe would get me a lot of hate and criticism in the Philippines, especially among the older generation. Have you ever thrown a surprise party for someone? Who for? Yeah we threw one for Dave a few years back. My friends also threw an advanced surprise party for Raf on my actual birthday, and I was too hurt about it so I didn’t attend. What would you say your average word per minute time is on the keyboard? We did this in class once for fun when we weren’t really discussing anything, and if I remember anything I hit somewhere between 70-80 words. What is your least favorite class in school? Why is this? Chemistry, calculus, and trigonometry. So fucking useless. Do you bite your fingernails or tap them on desks? I tap my nails onto desks. I only bite them when I’m anxious. Have you ever wanted to be in a band? What position exactly? I wanted to learn the drums but never explicitly wanted to be in a band. Who is your role model or hero in life if you have one? No role models for me. Do you ever call your cousins just to talk to them randomly? No. We’re close, but we’re also busy, so the only time we get to catch up is when we get to have family lunches/reunions. Do you find any of your friends’ parents creepy or really mean? Not at all. All of my friends’ parents have been lovely. Do you ever have to wash your clothes at someone else’s house? Nope. When is the next time you’ll go to the library? Why is this? I dunno actually. I don’t really have to pick up a book to read for a class right now. Do you like fiction or non-fiction books more? What’s your favorite? Non-fiction. I don’t have a favorite but I will sit down and read any biography you offer me. Do you constantly have to be told to shut up? By who? No, and that would hurt, I think. I have friends who I lowkey think are too talkative for my social battery, but I’d never tell them to shut up. Do you know how to play pool? Are you any good at it? Nah. I don’t even know how to swing(?) the cue. Do you treat others as you’d like to be treated? Have you always? Yeah, I always try to. I always assume or imagine they’re going through something, so I always try to be a little kinder. Were you a really mean kid or a sweet and quiet kid? I was quiet, neither mean nor sweet. I didn’t make trouble at all but I wasn’t exactly the most darling of kids either haha. I was just too shy to move or talk. Are you someone who likes to get in arguments or fights a lot? I’d get in one if I have to, but I don’t thrive on them. How do you make sure people know you don’t like them at all? I don’t have to make a big spectacle about it if I don’t like someone for whatever reason. I can still be polite and civil if I have to interact with them. < Pretty much. The one way someone would know (if they even notice at all) is that if I would do anything and everything to avoid having to talk to them. Would you say you’re someone who likes to cuss a lot? I say shit and fuck pretty often. Do you keep secrets from your parents that you don’t keep from your friends? My entire relationship is a glaring answer to this. What is your father’s best friend’s name? Do you know them personally? I don’t know if my dad has one. He has close friends, but not sure about a best friend. If you had to, where would you get a tattoo at? Why? Inner wrist, but I know that would hurt so I might just settle with having no tattoos ever haha. I picked it becauuuuse, idk, it just seems pretty intimate to me. How much was the cell phone you have at this moment in time? It was the newest model when I got it so it cost like P45,000 or a little less than $1000. Would you say you hang out with people the majority of your life? Yes. For the last 18 years my life has revolved around going to school, so I’m allllllways around people. What would you do if you woke up randomly with purple hair? I’d be pissed and try to hunt down whoever dyed my hair in my sleep, but then afterwards I’d assess if it suits me or not HAHAHA. It’s dyed anyway, so I might as well make sure I look good with it. Do you ever look in the mirror and name all of your flaws for no reason? Yeah, especially the ones on my face. Doesn’t get to happen a lot but I’d do it occasionally. Are you getting sick of the reality show Survivor? Why? I never watched it, but I’m surprised it’s still on. < This. Do you usually explain to people why you do the things you do? It depends what I do but generally, I’m not weird or crazy or daring enough for me to have to explain myself to people all the time. In contrast, I have an org-mate who’s a little on the...experimental side, and we have caught him trying to drink glue or stabbing himself with a pen. He always says he just wants to know how it smells/tastes/feels like, depending on the situation. We’re all lowkey concerned about him though lol. Ever submit a video to America’s Funniest Home Videos? We didn’t, because I don’t live in America. The most painful medical procedure you’ve ever had? Anything that had me getting pricked, so like platelet count tests and the one time I needed to get IV placed on my wrist. I’m WINCING just thinking about them. Are you someone who likes to eat Poptarts? What’s your favorite flavor? Love Poptarts, my favorite is the chocolate one. We don’t get a lot of flavors here, hence the basic choice. Ever have a dream you’re being abducted by aliens? Was it scary? Never. Do you like people who are loud or people who are quiet? I like quiet people who can get chatty and loud when necessary. Does personality weigh out the sense of ‘good looks?’ In terms of who I find attractive? Not really, looks still matter to me. When is the next time you’ll see someone who is pregnant? I only know one person who is and I only see that girl like once a decade lmao so I have no clue if I’ll see anyone else who’s pregnant. Do you hate it when people copy the things you do? No, unless it’s the exact same thing I’ve been doing. Where is your favorite piece of electronic equipment? It is on the drawer next to my bed. Where is the person who ‘owns your heart’ at this moment in time? She’s in her dorm, all passed out considering it’s 4:40 AM lol. Has anyone ever told you that you’re good at cooking? Hell no. I’d tell them they’re completely mistaking me for a different person, because I don’t enter the kitchen at allllllll. Would you say you’re a fast texter, or are you pretty slow? I’m fast. What is your favorite flavor of Doritos? What do you drink with them? Nacho Cheese is fine with me. Do you have any enemies who you think are dangerous? I don’t have any enemies. < Yep. Do you ever try to squeeze information out of people? Sure. It comes with being a journ student lmao. Does it freak you out when the police drive by your house? I live in a private village so this never happens. I do get paranoid when I’m driving and there’s a police car coming from behind me, though. Are you someone who tends to take a whole lot of naps? Not really. I always have a lot of work to do so I can’t nap even though I would want to. What is your favorite nickname you like to be called? Why do you like it? I’m fine with Robyn. I’ve gone by it since I was four. Do you already have your outfit for tomorrow planned out? Eh not really. I usually don’t think of my Sunday outfits until I’m actually already in front of the closet anyway. I never feel like making an effort for church. What is the color of your favorite pair of pants? What brand are they? Blue. No clue, but they’re mom jeans. Has your favorite song ever been featured on a commercial? Nah. I’ve never heard Paramore on a commercial. Do you ever promise pc4pc on Myspace then never return the favor? I never did Myspace. I’m vaguely familiar with the slang, though. What is one song right now that really gets on your nerves? That new Demi Lovato ballad. Bless her for allowing herself to be vulnerable on that track, but for the most part I cannotttttt stand her voice. What would you say was the best year of your life? Why? 2014, a lot of things seemed to fall into my lap back then, and I was simply happy and satisfied. Do those annoying infomercials ever draw you in to buy things? I have never been convinced to buy anything they sell but I WILL spend hours watching the commercials just because of how entertaining they are. Have you ever been pulled over by the cops for speeding? No. Speeding isn’t an issue here tbh. If it was nearly everybody would be pulled over, I think. Common reasons for being pulled over are like making illegal u-turns, overtaking on a solid double line, or being caught driving when your car is under coding for that day. Is anyone in your family a firefighter? Who is it anyway? Nope.

this week’s #tingletuesday #asmr recommendation is rappeler’s “NO Talking｜11가지 슬라임 소리아라｜Tingly 11 types of Slimes Sound” because i like the fact that there are many types of slime with different colors and textures. i really like the bright, pure white of the pearl slime that you see above. 💟 the various types of slime in this video make satisfying sounds, with plenty of stretching, squishing, and poking. plus, there’s no talking. it’s a good video to listen to in the background while you’re doing another task because the squishy, sticky sounds are nice to listen to without distracting you from the task. but the video isn’t only good for listening; it’s also mesmerizing to look at! the visuals are clear and colorful. i loooooove slime asmr!! when i first started to watch asmr a year or so ago, slime asmr was the second type of asmr i developed an obsession with (ear cleaning was the first). i am fascinated by the sounds made by slime when it is poked, squeezed, popped, etc. when i became obsessed with slime asmr, i suddenly bought a few containers of slime myself so that i could play with it. it’s a good stress-relief method. 😆 if you’re feeling stressed out, just take some slime and start squishing it. it’s a simple thing to do that can make you feel a little better. 😄 every week, i recommend an asmr video for #tingletuesday! ☺️ i am doing this because asmr is a great way to relax, and i want to spread the word about asmr. please go to youtube like, comment, subscribe, and donate to the artists! 👍

Top 5 Sneaky Tricks All Dog Trainers Know About Puppy Training but Never Share

You won’t get this information anywhere else.

That’s right, we dog trainers are an interesting group. And, I have learned that most dog trainers won’t share their dog training secrets.

But they certainly don’t want to share their puppy training secrets! “Why?” you might ask.

Because they are waiting for your puppy to develop behavior problems so that you need them.

It’s rough, but it is true. Except for me of course; here I am about to share.

We, as dog training professionals, also want the best behaved puppy for the least amount of effort.

We would rather artistically mold the dog we want instead of dealing with those behavior problems.

Sounds good, right?

It is!

So let’s get to it.

Here Are The Top 5 Sneaky Tricks All Dog Trainers Know About Puppy Training but Never Share

#1. Start Training Right Away

Most people get a puppy and carry it everywhere and fawn all over it and let it wander the house at will.

After all, they don’t want to start training right away! They think that “training is cruel”. Or they want their puppy to “settle in” first.

Let’s dispel those myths.

It is Cruel

Training isn’t cruel; it is positive interaction with your puppy if you do it right and you are hands off!

What is cruel about rewarding good behavior and training your puppy by teaching him what you like and how you want him to behave?

It is only cruel if you think puppy training requires “hands on” training with devices like choke chains, prong collars, or shock collars.

And let me be the first to tell you it doesn’t require those devices, and it shouldn’t, ever, be cruel if you do it right and learn to train “Hands Off”!

He Should Settle In

Why would you want your dog to develop bad behaviors at all?

I mean, I get letting him nap and get used to his environment. But, again, if you are doing this right, you are simply giving him much needed information.

We all need to know what is good and bad, right and wrong.

I mean you don’t show up to a new job and expect they are just going to let you wander around for a few weeks or a few months without teaching you anything.

It would be much harder, after that period of time, and after you had gotten used to being paid for playing games and being on your phone on social media all of the time, to change the rules and try to get you to change your behavior.

Think of it as “life orientation” just like new job orientation.

Give your puppy the knowledge of what you expect and what brings rewards and keep bad behavior from happening!

Simple, right?

#2. Crate Games Start the First Day

There is not a professional dog trainer that I know, or have ever met, that doesn’t crate train their puppies.

If you are lucky, your puppy has already had some crate training.

Good breeders will begin crate training early.

If you are thinking of getting a puppy but haven’t gotten one yet, ask the person to start the process for you.

But, a lot of my dog training clients stop puppy crate training after the first night or two.

I currently have one client who is having a terrible time because she allowed the puppy into bed with her the 3rd night and now the puppy is panicking worse when she tries to use the crate.

I can’t have a dog that is not crate trained. It is essential for my lifestyle and for the safety of my puppies.

Puppies who aren’t crate trained are at greater risk of obstruction surgery and death because they have access to dangerous items. Even an electric socket can be deadly.

I start out with crate games almost immediately, by putting my puppies food and treats in his crate and throwing toys inside, without ever closing the door.

I want to make the crate a fun place!

But I still use it the first night.

They big key is that I make it fun and I make sure I have a tired puppy before putting them inside.

If my puppy has just had a nap before bed, I can be in for a couple of hours of crate squawking.

It is my job to ensure a tired puppy and to play puppy crate training games.

And, it is just as crucial to allow my puppy to cry and self soothe for a while as he gets used to his crate.

Don’t panic, some screaming is normal for a while. It will get better if you stick to it!

#3. Do Not Feed Your Puppy From a Bowl

We dog trainers like to make our puppies work for their meals.

I know some of you are aghast with disgust right now, but let me assure you that it is better for everyone concerned.

Again, why do people get wrapped up in thinking that training is bad?

Training shouldn’t be bad! It should be THE BEST thing ever!

Spending time with you is what your puppy wants to do, so why would you deny him that at a very social time?

I mean, eating is social for humans too!

Would you want to go eat your meal alone in a room everyday… or would you prefer to eat with your family or meet for dinner with friends?

Using your puppy’s food as a reward is your way of spending time with him while he eats.

It is the equivalent of meeting your friends for dinner and drinks and dancing.

It is fun for him!

And, guess what?

You get the benefit of having a well-trained and stimulated puppy.

Puppy training doesn’t have to be hard.

Puppy training doesn’t have to last for an hour at a time.

And, you don’t have to make your puppy work for every single kibble, use lots of jack pots and have fun!

Puppy training should resemble a game to your puppy!

#4. Begin Teaching Your Puppy to Play With Toys Immediately

Speaking of games…

Your puppy needs lots of toys!

Most of you know this, and hopefully you have gotten your puppy a toy box full of different kinds of toys so that he doesn’t chew or grab your things.

But what most people don’t realize is that actually using those toys to build your puppy’s play and prey drive will help your puppy training turn into amazing dog training in the long run.

You can’t imagine how many people tell me that their dog doesn’t play, or he only played when he was a puppy.

Well, of course he stopped!

How fun is it to play alone?

It’s not! And, it is not usually constructive when dogs have to play by themselves or come up with their own games.

They think chewing holes in your carpet, digging in your yard and watching dirt fly; those are fun games.

If you play with your dog, you encourage appropriate play and you engage him mentally and physically!

And, here is a BIG one:

Later in life, instead of using or carrying treats, you can carry his toy to reward him and keep his attention!

So grab those toys and get to some interactive play with your pup or dog.

#5. Some Toys Are YOUR Toys

I hope your puppy has a toy box, as I mentioned earlier.

Like a toddler, he needs to explore his world and be able to choose from a multitude of toys and textures and use his mouth on appropriate things.

If you don’t provide something, he will eat and shred your things.

So, invest some money and stock his toy box. I like at least a dozen things or more.

You don’t have to spend a fortune, and actually you can get things a lot cheaper online and they are shipped right to you.

Pet Edge is my favorite shopping place, because most things are affordable and they have nearly everything!

Now the weird part…

Your dog’s favorite toys should be “YOUR” toys.

Meaning they only come out for training and interactive play.

For instance, my dog LOOOOOOVES her ball or a tug.

She nearly impales herself, if I am not careful, chasing after a ball.

Heck, I have a friend whose dog dislocated his shoulders because he ran into a tractor playing ball.

But these toys aren’t at her (or his because she is a trainer too) disposal all of the time.

That makes those toys ultra extraordinary!

If my dog could grab a tennis ball or rubber ball and play with it by herself or whenever she wanted, it would lose its value!

It risks becoming boring, like the other toys in my dogs’ basket (for that problem, click here).

It also allows me to use toys that would not be appropriate to be left in my puppy’s toy box!

My dogs are chewers and they have been since they were puppies. I can’t leave soft plush toys, or tugs in their toy box or they could eat them.

But they love these kinds of toys, so I bring them out for play time!

Then I put them up for the next time I want to exercise them and do some training!

So there they are – the top 5 tricks that we trainers use to get our puppies started off on the right paw!

Feel free to share with your friends!

Do you wear glasses? Yep. I have to, because without them my vision is really poor that I essentially just see colors and vague shapes.

What were/are your grades like in school? I didn’t care for elementary and high school grades because I knew early on they barely matter for when you’re older, but I also didn’t voluntarily fail. My grades generally ranged from 87 to 96, and there were times I’d either super excel in a class (96-100) or completely fail a class, usually math. College is when grades start to matter, so I busted my ass off in the last four years and made sure I didn’t simply fail my classes, but that I got excellent grades from them.

Do you like sweets? What kinds? I don’t like the pure form of sweets, if that makes sense? like I’m not a fan of candies, caramel, or chocolate bars. I like sweet food better when they’re incorporated into a larger meal, like cakes or macarons.

Do you like partying? Yeah, it’s a fun way to hang out with my friends and let loose and forget about my requirements for a while. I wouldn’t do it everyday, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

How many boyfriends/girlfriends have you had? One.

Are you good at drawing? Never. I came to terms with that very early on in kindergarten, when I would always dread drawing activities.

Do you like sports? If so, which are your faves? I love watching volleyball and I’ll tune into a tennis game if I catch it on TV. My favorite one to watch is pro wrestling, if it counts as a sport. It’s more theatre than anything else, but still.

Do you play any intruments? Which ones? Just the recorder from when we learned it in grade school.

Name a few romcoms you like, if any. The Proposal, 13 Going on 30, Love Actually, Notting Hill, Roman Holiday, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

What is your Hogwarts house? Or do you not like Harry Potter? =( I never finished reading the series. I asked Angela for my house just now and she said “Hufflepuff with a touch of Ravenclaw” so there you have it hahaha.

Do you currently have a significant other? Yep I do.

What is your biggest goal in life? To be happy with whoever I end up becoming.

Pizza or burger? Oooh tough choices, I love both. Burgers are my absolute favorite food though, so it takes the cake for this question.

Cookies or brownies? Cookies, but it has to be chocolate chip.

Avocado toast or oatmeal? I don’t like oatmeal and I’ve never had avocado toast... I’d like to try the latter, though. I’ve never had an avocado meal that I didn’t like, so the trend will probably continue with the toast.

Asparagus or broccoli? Broccoli.

Pancakes or french toast? Pancakes. Not really a fan of French toast’s texture.

Have you ever seen the Percy Jackson movie/s? Nope. I never heard a single good thing about the original movies because apparently they were both super unfaithful to the books, so I never even considered watching them. Percy Jackson’s getting a TV series soon though! and Rick Riordan himself is overseeing it so it’s bound to be good this time.

Ever seen Glee? No, it never appealed to me and I never liked the covers either.

Did you know that Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and Miley Cyrus are vegan? I knew Billie and Miley were. Ariana is news to me, so that’s pretty cool to learn.

Do you like Demi Lovato? Name a song by her. I only like a handful of songs of hers: Heart Attack, Give Your Heart a Break, and I especially LOOOOOOVE Cool for the Summer which highkey deserved so much more airplay. I’m generally not a fan of her other songs, and I have moods where her voice in particular annoys me :((

Did you know Natalie Portman, Joaquin Phoenix, and Simon Cowell are vegan? I didn’t know that for all the celebrities you listed. Yay for more random trivia :)

What is your favorite musical? Miss Saigon.

Tarzan or The Lion King? Tarzan. I watched that over and over as a toddler, so it has the nostalgia factor for me for sure. I’ve never seen The Lion King.

Lilo & Stitch or Moana? Moana.

Hercules or Pinocchio? No pick. I’ve never seen Hercules, and while I’ve seen Pinocchio I didn’t enjoy it all that much.

Arthur or Scooby Doo? Arthur, not because of the show but because I owned a lot of Arthur books when I was younger.

Rugrats or Powerpuff Girls? Powerpuff Girls. Nickelodeon aired Rugrats at like 5:30 AM, so I’d only catch it when my grandma was preparing me for school and that was it, and I was always too sleepy to be invested in the episode. I have more fond memories of watching Powerpuff Girls.

Ever seen Pretty Little Liars? No, not my kind of show. Troian Bellisario is super pretty though.

How old are you? I just turned 22.

Describe your dream home. Someplace with a large patio for my kids and dogs to run around, a modern design, all white with some gray or black accents, and big windows.

Baking or dancing? Baking. I don’t know how, but I’m much more willing to learn baking than dancing.

Sports or shopping? Shopping. Momma needs new workplace clothes nowwww.

Blue or yellow? Blue.

Green or pink? Pink.

Did/do you go to a public school, a private school, or homeschool? Private school for kinder, elementary, and high school; public university.

How much water have you drunk today? I’d say 3-4 glasses.
