#she's training with WINTER

[wyvernity]

been thinking about the sinnohtrio lately......plus misc other stuff

also, casual ko-fi drop!! get something in this sketchy style starting at $10 woop woop

#finally decided to do a commission test run u_u #pokemon #trainer lyra #trainer kris #trainer dawn #trainer lucas #rival barry #rival silver #ayalumi #hisuian zorua #luxio #timeskip tag #rkgk #anyway it's sinnoh time !!! #still figuring out their designs and lore but this works for now #god's specialest little guys & their very normal bestfriend who they would kill/die for. up to interpretation who is killing/dying #dawn is the platinum protag who meets giratina and becomes champion #distortion world affected her way more than compared to cynthia and cyrus since she's still a developing kid. but hey cool ghost hair! #4-5 yrs later lucas gets blasted to hisui..lost his memory for the three years he's there and when arceus sends him back he's just like Man #the entire time barry is CHILLING PLAYING HAVING FUN #and forever worried abt his friends ): dawn & lucas are soo nonchalant about what happened to them it's a bit concerning to everyone else #design comments umm the only thing that matters is that they still have their og scarves 👍 #and i guesss these are spring/summer outfits. winter dawn gets leggings and big coat ok. she already has too much yin energy #btw i use the cleanse tag as the direct opposition to the spell tag even tho that's probably not a real thing LOL) #oh yea barry wears the tower master ribbon 24/7. tower tycoon in training and won't shut up about it (i love him) #character dynamics i will talk abt that in another post if i feel like it... these days i just want to go replay pla aughh

Yea ok but if that really is the Summer Maiden behind them and she’s just a kid and they put these two in charge of training and guiding her

The mother who abandoned her own child and killed the prior Spring Maiden both out of fear and the sibling who was loyal to the wrong person until it was almost too late and was unable to save her baby sister… I’m sure they’re coping fine with that responsibility

#rwby #raven branwen #yang xiao long #winter schnee #weiss schnee #well we know for a fact that Winter ain’t coping well with shit right now lmfao #in particular I GOTTA see Yang’s reaction to whatever relationship Raven has now with the Summer Maiden (assuming she’s a kid) #Raven seems like she’s softened a bit since we saw her last #is she motherly towards the SM at all? is Yang gonna see that and be upset bc why couldn’t Raven be that for her? #or will she be angry bc Raven decided this maiden is worth training and not just some scared little kid that she ‘mercy killed’ #plsssss I gotta know everything that’s been going on with Raven I need that Xiao Long-Rose-Branwen family therapy session #greenlight volume 10

Two weeks with Aurora! Here's a recap of life so far.

Our targeted socialization was pretty successful, we managed a bunch of different experiences and she rocked them.

Monday: Busy street at rush hour

Tuesday: Train station

Wednesday: Construction site

Thursday: Bike path next to train line

Friday: Outside a coffee shop

Saturday: Baby hike in the wild

She's still doing great in overall good citizen behaviours. She has specifically been crushing:

✅ Sleeping through the night

✅ Name recognition

✅ Basic training skills

✅ Recovering from being startled

✅ Being crated quietly

Honestly she's doing amazing, I am so so proud of her. 💜

Areas for improvement for the week include:

✴ Bullying Pike (which is improving but still not great)

✴ Demand barking and overall noise level

✴ Chewing on the couch in excitment

Our biggest victories this week include:

🎉 Baby hike 2.0 with beautiful ranging, reasonable baby recall, and great enthusiasm

🎉 Calling off play with Pike on multiple occasions

Our big goals for next week:

🚀 Less harassment of Pinecone

🚀 Working through the foundation levels of the baby conditioning class I'm taking

Really excited for the next few weeks with this girl! 💜

#dogblr #rory borealis #about aurora #she is snuggling really really well without biting me #and she 'asked' for a training session the other night which was soooo sweet #i want to take her on the train today #and i want to take her to see some blow up xmas ornaments before theyre put away for the year #i would love for her to stop barking #but im remembering how loud mav was and he grew out of it pretty quickly #so im hoping she grows out of it as well #the conditioning class is pretty cool! #its for dogs 8 weeks to 8 months #conditioning is a weak spot of mine - i dont know enough to work through it on my own #so i think this was a great purchase #im excited to work through it this winter #i feel like if any dog can use more body awareness and core strength its probably a brittany #this photo is from last week by the way we have like no snow left

need to work on rear end awareness w troj but its difficult for all of us when signals have to travel so far from the brain

#we did have a breakthrough ages ago but then we went a long time without training and we need to crack that nut again i think #we've been to a couple of club sessions recently but after this winter of doing nothing its really just been #finding joy in training. playing a lot. rewarding attempt and enthusiasm more than actually trying to make all that much of it #keep her from second guessing herself #and i need to be a good partner to her and provide the support and reassurance she needs

@rosiethedragongeek a little Siri for all our pleasures!!

cutout

#she is a combination of rusty & wrench design elements #but she has absolutely nothing to do with either of them i just made her for fun #she's a steam train who works in non-race emergency medical situations (so other derailments/major injuries/crashes) #since she's in the rocky mountains she works on a lot of inclement weather injuries in the winter and then takes spring off to chill lol #stex oc #starex #stex

Okay I'm working on snowbird chapter 2

I hope people actually read it considering seven of them voted for me to keep writing it when I asked them

#announcement #i guess #snowbird #snowbird chapter 2 is im uhhere i er well #im like. 49% done #i hope people read it i really do #i establish the protags relationship with her older sister in chapter 2 itll be great #therell be guilt the protags bestie has a fraternal relationship with the protags older sister would you read that please read that im beggi #also just read part of mockingjay that derails my whole plot BUT ITS OKAY the plot holes have saved me #it says that finnick odair was a mentor during the 74th games but that doesnt check out because he won during 65 but annie casta won in 70 #meaning annie casta won the most recently but wasnt a mentor??? but annie is known for not being stable SO #that means that if a mentor is unfit to train new tributes they can be replaced by a more capable one WHICH MEANS #despite the timelines making one of my characters the most recent district 4 victor if she has a psychotic breakdown she wont mentor #so now i have to find a way to traumatise her enough that her progress going back to normal just flies out the window #fortunately the reaping happens in winter the arena was full of snow theres a point where she falls in a frozen lake she lives in district 4 #hmmmmmm and maybe she gets cut. maybe blood on snow reminds her of things that she doesnt want to be reminded of. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmnnnm #it happens in winter cause its in the middle of the year. winter is in the middle of the year. catching fire has the reaping midyear (?) #look dont ask me about my timelines just enjoy it okay

i just wrote my letter of resignation for the retail job that's been sucking the soul out of my body for 10 years 😳😳😳

#i feel bad bc i like the job in a lot of ways and they invested a lot of cross-training into me #but i had a good talk w my therapist and she agrees this is the right thing for me to do #im going to be able to rest over winter break for the first time since like jr high. amazing #another step toward recovering from chronic burnout lol #im upping my med dose too 💪 #my posts

[scattered-winter]

fucked up how the internet is a ghost sometimes. tbh

#my friend's discord is still up.....i can still send her messages......and backscroll..... #literally so fucked up. #ive reached the time of night where the train of thought turns sad sry gang </3 #i still dont even know how she died man. #her funeral was not even a week after my mom's i couldnt even think to ask and its been so long now that i dont want to bring it up #but its not like it matters anyway. #real fucked up how i lost so many people in the span of LITERALLY just a few months though. like what was that lol #winter speaks #grief tag #personal

Anyway, Mia Winters is actually and amazing character who deserves better and would have been a great protag for RE8 if CapCom gave her a chance.

In this essay I will--

#y'all can hate mia but you can't deny capcom doesn't utilize the fact that she's literally trained #by both a criminal orginization that made/makes actual bioweapons #AND the military #for like... anything. And they 100% could have?? #BUT DIDN'T-- #B R U H ??? #mia winters #resident evil 7 #resident evil 8 #resident evil #resident evil village #resident evil biohazard

Work is on fire, so close to finishing the current work and now the old work has broken, however: I get to work with the old boss again.  Fuck but I missed her

She comes in, tells me the horrible news, I start cussing, she starts laughing, and then we both get to work, immediately and without needing to discuss what we’re doing, while both continuing to cuss and laugh.  Fuck but I missed her

#yapping tag #IT is working away diligently at the requests I've made and the data structure stuff is at a good holding point #so of course it's time for the old ESL institute to need me back again! in December we hired in a new lady to replace me there #and now she is /hospitalized from the stress of the position/ thank you I will be screaming now #not even two months! the school was closed for Winter Break for half that time! #/hospitalized from the stress of the position/ I am going to eat my own feet I am going to peel my own face I am going to /cry/ #she didn't make it through one graduation! she didn't do any of the scheduling for the new session! she didn't even get trained on /how/ #HOSpitalized from the STRESS of the poSITION I am going to screeeeeeeeeam #anyway it's Tuesday and I have until 9:00am Friday to do everything this woman was supposed to have done since last Thursday #and oh yes of course also I /still have my own new job to do in the meantime/ I am going to BITE SOMEONE #(not her not her I'm angry but I'm not angry /at her/ I'm not going to take it out on her it's not her fault the job is a nightmare #I will continue to repeat this to myself until I remember it /I am not angry at her/ aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh) #good news though I have been confirmed a plot at the community garden so the Good Boss and I can talk about gardening while we #you know. put out unlimited unceasing and overlapping fires

late prompting night ask! in spirit of the season: Outlaw AU -- the Outlaws' (Brion, Jason, Rose, Kory) different reactions to cold and snow. Could be a list of headcanons or a snippet.

"This is the worst," Rose said as she wrapped her arms around herself, big coat pulled on tight. She leaned against Brion. "Keep me warm?"

Chuckling, Brion wrapped her in a one armed hug and let a gentle wave of heat roll off him. "I must admit, it is odd to be in snow and not cold."

"The Shadows do training for different climates, don't they?" Jason asked as he idly compacted a snowball. "I was stuck on Infinity Island, but they had a mountain."

"I am trained for it and could complete a mission in any climate," Rose huffed. "But this is the worst."

Kory stuck out her tongue, letting a snowflake drop on it. "I find it rather pretty. However, I now understand why humans tend to wear so many layers of cloth."

"I bet Brion was the type to wear shorts in winter even before he got his powers."

"When I could get away with it," Brion admitted. He grinned. "Rose, did you ever have a snowball fight?"

She shook her head. "Didn't exactly have a lot of snow where I grew up, or on Santa Prisca. Had to travel specially for it."

A small ball hit Brion in the back. He smiled. "Well then, there's a first for everything." He bent over and compacted a ball of snow, kneading it for the correct amount of stability before handing to Rose.

She smiled, and flung it back to Jason. He stumbled, then grinned and with a practiced motion made his own ball of snow.

"I may not have grown up in the mountains of Markovia, but we had the occasional snow even without Mr. Freeze," Jason called out as he and Kory made their own snowballs.

#Outlaws AU #prompting night #Brion Markov #Rose Wilson #Jason Todd #Kory Anders #essentially Brion grew up in Markovia with snowy winters and skiing in winter so it's a nice nostalgic thing for him #Jason grew up in NJ in poverty so there was some fun on the rare occasions it snowed but a lot of worrying about keeping the apartment warm #Rose is from a tropical city and was trained on a tropical island #she is sensitive to cold #Kory is solar powered but a bit cold #finds it interesting though

I wanted to get some nice photos of Saki in the sun, but of course as soon as we got downstairs, the entire neighbourhood suddenly all woke up, so I only got a couple of snaps of her being anxious/grumpy as heck while we were heading back home 😅

#we kind of have to re-train her for walks every year #staying inside over winter she gets anxious about strangers and cars etc #so every spring we have to do more short quiet walks with treats for re-exposure #saki #cat #catblr #calico #photo #cat harness #cat leash #cat harness and leash #cat leash and harness

For real, fuck my high school. I should sue them for all the bullshit I had to put up with. They worked me dry, criticised me at every step, made me feel unwelcome because I was AFAB......... man, fuck all that shit

#there were decent people on the staff of course #the Polish teacher? I would die for that woman #she actually arranged for accomodations during the speaking part of my Polish matura #were it not for her I wouldn't have passed #the maths teacher? I would also die for her #she was an angel. Sure she assigned so much stuff for the winter break and made us attend extra classes during said break #but she was so dedicated and patient #she was even giving us secret classes during the teacher strike before our matura #I guess my homeroom teacher was fine. #the databases teacher was funny and I talked to him about Fallout a few times #oh yeah the student counselour is another person I'd die for #were it not for her I would have never gotten help with my depression and I'd probably be dead #still #everyone else? either did nothing to help or actively contributed to the problem #fuck the headmaster most of all though #I want to go into his basement and steal all his goddamn model trains
