Nathan and His Working Sun

Apollo is a Golden Retriever mix (we think Pyrenees and some poodle) who is my service dog in training! He is a multipurpose service dog but most of his tasks are for AuDHD or chronic pain. I am hoping to become a professional service dog trainer! This blog is probably going to be 50% Apollo, 25% awareness, and 25% art. I'm happy to make friends to feel free to send a message :)

THE BIG WHO AM I

My name is Nathan

I like dogs, Mythology (especially Greek, Norse, or Egyptian), art, and right now the biggest thing I talk about is my service dog lol

I’m also Helpol/pagan on top of that- I work with multiple Greek gods as well as Freyja!

I mainly use he/they pronouns, but I don’t really care much. I do have a strong dispense to she and it, but other than that pretty much whatever you are fine with. 

I am 19, transmasc (sometimes I say boy flux or demiboy idk I’m still figuring out) and i consider myself either gay or bi despite being somewhere on the aroace spectrum

I’m a disabled artist, I’ve written a couple songs and make a lot of art. I consider many things art - music, drawing, photography, writing, nature, all of it!

I think this blog is just gonna be my dog lol, though I’m gonna probably post my art too

Gonna try and sue ‘Nathan Draws’ to tag all my art if your interested in seeing my work :)

And here’s the good boy himself!

Also, some of my art will have different names (Florian, Arlo, RJ I think are the main ones) because signing my name with preferred names is one of the way I try them out, and I’m too lazy to go change it

Ps: also anti AI, anti ICE, pro choice, all that shit. If your against any of it (un)kindly see yourself out

*gets wisdom teeth removed* *it hurts to close my jaw/bite down* *at the same time in so much pain I am clenching my jaw* *clenching is making it worse*

officially day 7, I am at an 8/10 on the pain scale, my mom has decided I ‘shouldn’t need’ the prescription pain meds anymore so I just stay awake all night in agony because ibuprofen only works for a little bit of time, so I stay up all night in pain

She doesn’t seem to realize that, having had chronic pain since the age of 6 at the latest, I have gotten used to hiding my pain.

I’ve been at a 10/10 and it didn’t show on my face, I was just bouncing my foot and wouldn’t keep it still (where the pain was, infected ingrown toenail on the side not at the top…).

not to mention ibuprofen and Tylenol barely works for me anyway

so now it’s day 8 of not sleeping properly, I’m exhausted but I’m too much pain to fall asleep when I try, and I feel like a burden for telling my mom how much pain I’m in because my dad refuses to help out with the house or anything despite not working right now (my mom is working 14 hour shifts as a nurse, then has to cook dinner, clean the house, and recently she’s the one taking care of me Post op while my dad does video games, until she had to make him do it.)

I keep checking religiously and I don’t think I have dry socket and I’ve been incredibly careful so I know I don’t have an infection…

Random fun fact because I am a nerd and totally not just adding another post because it being 139 bothers me

Sending Mr. Apollo to a month-long board and train on Wednesday so until then he’s sleeping in my bed

gonna miss him so much, his snuggles have been very much needed and appreciated, but right now he wants to cuddle with my body pillow

My son is an anime weboo (it’s a plain gray one but I texted my girlfriend the picture and she said that lol)

hot take: there is no ethical way to be a billionaire, and especially not a trillionaire.

it would take between $40 and $100 million per year to end world hunger by 2030.

Elon Musk could end world hunger and still be a billionaire. if every billionaire in the world chipped in an equal percentage each year, they would still be millionaires at the very least.

Ending world hunger costs less than 1% of military spending

Ending hunger by 2030 would cost just $93 billion a year — well under one per cent of the $21.9 trillion spent on military budgets over the

💵 How Much Would It Cost to End World Hunger? 🍽️

Would $6 billion end world hunger? We know what it takes to end world hunger, and we know what it costs. Let's break it down.

Look it up yourself, too

[apolloservicesun]

this is what I call the ‘dead bug’ pose, can you see why?

it’s usually accompanied by the biggest body wag your ever see

(Yes, he sometimes does this on duty lol- it’s mainly if he’s been settling for a really long time or if he sees someone he likes, or if I ask him for a block and it’s been more than 5 minutes. It’s not the most professional thing ever but at least that means he’s comfortable in public? one of the pictures was at the library)

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Apollo says bi people are good humans, his handler is biromantic!

me: *gets all 4 wisdom teeth removed* *has bad TMJ* *very bad reactions to most of the drugs they gave me* Apollo:

he is either right at my side, on the floor beside me, or watching me from a distance. He has not been much farther than me for more than about 20-30 minutes, and when he is he checks in on me every once in a while.

for so long I worried I chose the wrong dog for the job, that he isn’t cut out to be a service dog, but I came home and despite not always understanding when I ask for it and seeming nervous of the smell (they’d given me multiple different meds and even I could smell the anesthesia) he came up and do Deep Pressure Therapy. He was super duper gentle (or tried lol, he’s still a baby and doesn’t know his size).

if he isn’t on/by the couch/my bed, he’s usually in the kitchen. He watches me from the kitchen but of course, food is still important too. He would lay either at the stairs like shown there, or against the fridge or island and keep an eye on me.

even when the swamp cooler was on and the rest of the house was hot, he stayed to watch me instead of going up to lay under the fan.

even when my dad was grilling STEAK, he just laid with me (of course he sniffed a lot and watched the grill though haha)

[apolloservicesun]

I have my dog a bully stick on Fourth of July. It’s the next day, I let him have the rest in his crate and he was good for a while, but then he decided he didn’t wanna lay in his crate- we lost power for a little while and it was almost 100° today so I figured he was uncomfortable in his crate (I forgot how warm the fleece blanket is, he usually really likes it but I can’t de how that wouldn’t be fun)

he also ate a squirrel tail and had diarrhea last week, and usually if he’s whining and nudging at his crate, he’s sick (he ate something else a few weeks back and kept whining in his crate, then had diarrhea, and after he ate something weird at a campout he whined and then had diarrhea in the car), so I was worried.

Nope, he jumped right up on my bed no problem and laid down.

he’s going to a board and train for a whole month on Wednesday, so I don’t mind sharing my bed his last few nights before that- I’m still not feeling great after my surgery anyway, so his presence is comforting

Sometimes if I do something once or something new happens one way, he does it the same way every other time. Apparently bully sticks now equal sleeping with dad. And I am ok with that

This picture is form earlier, he’s been even snugglier than usual (and he thinks he is a lap dog) since my surgery (mainly appreciated… exept when he tried to ragdoll against my face while I let him lick my plate off after trying to eat a hotdog)

[apolloservicesun]

basically here’s what happens:

Daughter who shouldn’t exist

she is promised to the priest as a sacrifice later in life

she is locked in the basement her whole life and never leaves

finally escapes, gets caught

wakes up and realizes she is about to be sacrificed

next either:

a) she escapes on the way to be prepared for the active, shot with a crossbow, in and out as they prepare her for the sacrifice, wakes up as they begin the sacrifice

b) more detailed rituals and preparations, darker side of the town,

c) her family tries to save her, more of the other people’s reaction, heartstrings pulling

Which should I do

A (angst)

B (development)

C (drama)

A & B

A & C

B & C

I'm not saying I'm surprised, but what the fuck.

[apolloservicesun]

accidentally took the most confused picture of my dog ever 😭😭😭

Didn’t realize the flash was on I’m sorry Apollo

I know that the rawhide chews can be iffy but he doesn’t really eat stuff and he’s a gentle chewer, I’m keeping an eye on him and if hes eating it it’s gonna go away
