i do feel like.....idk, doggo culture or whatever has made people very comfortable with dogs and like. i obviously love dogs i have dedicated a lot of my life to dogs but dogs.....like, uh, kill people sometimes

[msburgundy-deactivated20230304]

there's been this weird shift from like when i was a kid and it was just customary that you didn't approach dogs you didn't know and you didn't touch a stranger's dog without permission to people feeling completely entitled to just touch your dog

to the point of disregarding and even arguing with you when you say no

i have an aggressive dog and the number of people who insist "well, dogs love me" and reach out to touch him anyway is ridiculous

i feel like culturally we've treated dogs so much like children that people have largely forgotten that at the end of the day they're still animals and animals are not always predictable, logical, or even safe

[pengychan]

I had a man try to pet my grouchiest old bitch despite me telling him not to and the grouchy bitch herself backing away from him. He tried to step around me to pet her and only stopped when she growled to let him know he was on thin fucking ice. He had the galls to look surprised.

Right by there was my other dog, the friendliest girl I ever had, who would have loved a fuss, but the guy only wanted to touch the Forbidden Doggo apparently.

If you're told not to touch a dog then don't touch the fucking dog.

[babycharmander]

Also please understand that not everyone is comfortable with dogs! Just because you love dogs and don’t care if one tackles you to the ground doesn’t mean other people are okay with that.

Most people don’t find it funny when you let your dog loose to run after you and startle you, or when they enter your house and you just saw “aww they’re being friendly!!” when they jump up on their hind legs and scratch the crap out of you.

“The sky and the sand and the sea and Corr.”

My yearly tradition of drawing water horses! This is my version of Corr. I went for a more monstrous look this year and I am quite proud of it! (You can see last years version on my Instagram @sokatmatt_art and old capail uisce drawings by scrolling through my shit storm feed)

Super excited about the way this came out, especially the lighting. Expect more fanart in the future!

currently obsessing over the dreamer trilogy being an extended metaphor for maggie’s chronic illness/chronic illness in general. maggie’s body was unable to make cortisol — a substance necessary for life. a lack of cortisol causes extreme fatigue — a clear parallel to a dreamer or dream being alseep because of a lack of ley energy. maggie got sick while writing the raven king and as a result she wasn’t able to create what she needed to. in greywaren, when the ley line shuts down, ronan is unable to create what he needs to. like maggie, ronan’s identity is centered around creating — it is the thing that sustains him (if he doesn’t create, the nightwash will kill him). ronan ends up literally stuck in his own brain, in this liminal space between being alive & human or being dead & otherworldly. he is aware that life is continuing — in fact there are many moments where ronan desperately wants to wake up, to come back to reality but cannot because without the ley line he cannot exist as he was. in many ways this is what having a chronic illness is like; it is watching life continue without you, an unwilling observer to all that you cannot have.

while looking back at the tdt dedications i reread the mister impossible dedication that says: “to the magicians who woke me from my thousand-year slumber.” to me this seems like a direct parallel between maggie’s illness and dreamers being asleep and ultimately the ability to wake from that sleep with help from other people. in greywaren, ronan finally wakes up after both choosing to exist not knowing what his life will look like, and after hennessy tattoos one of the strongest sweetmetals onto his arm. sweetmetals in this instance signify medication or treatment of some kind. sweetmetals are not a permanent fix. they do not last forever, they’re expensive and hard to acquire but they functionally match the ley line — the life force you are born with. in maggie’s case, she is woken from her sleep by doctors who are able to supplement what her body cannot produce.

what i find extremely interesting is the connection art/creating/dreaming has especially in the context of illness. it’s incredibly circular. sweetmetals are usually art pieces of some kind — they don’t have to be masterpieces, they just have to mean something to someone — and they are able to sustain dreams (or in ronan’s case a dreamer/dream). which means in a moment where ronan is not able to create, it is another person’s creation that saves him. when used as a metaphor for medicine/treatment you get this message of the interconnectedness of human lives; the way we all rely on one another for survival. maggie survives because there are people who have found treatments that work. ronan survives because someone created ink that functions as a sweetmental, and someone else stole it for him, and someone else decorated him with it for his protection. they give this to him so he can continue to live & create and hopefully help someone else with his creations, just like maggie is able to help all of us by continuing to write and create.

My villain origin story is all the cool stuff they cut from Daenerys’ fever dream in the House of The Undying for the show (and all the cool stuff in general). More ASOIAF fanart I’ve done in the last few weeks!

don’t ask me to explain anything

I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

[halomancer]

On one hand this is extremely fucking funny, but on the other hand, it really boggles my mind how many people punish their dogs for just… doing the thing they were bred to do.

Your husky isn’t “hyperactive”, it’s bred to pull sleds for 8 hours straight and you have it in a 400 sq ft yard.

Your English sheepdog isn’t “pushy”, it’s bred to herd sheep, and you have neither to space nor the herd to allow it.

Your terrier isn’t “nippy”, it’s bred to kill rats and your hamster looks a hell of a lot like one.

Your Catahoula isn’t “mean to animals”, it’s bred to hunt any and all animals smaller than it, and you didn’t acclimate it to your cat.

Your Lhasa Apso isn’t “yappy”, it’s bred to bark at any tiny noise and alert watchmen to intruders

Like Jesus Christ, if you can’t provide an environment where your dog can’t fulfill its literal life purpose, maybe?? Don’t get that dog??? And if you do, maybe know the breed characteristics so you can redirect those traits into more constructive outlets????

[lemonsharks]

Both your most common doodle's parts (labra and golden) want to hunt and retrieve water birds so the best suggestion I can give y'all is congratulations on your new duck hunting hobby.

“The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion.” -King Viserys

Balerion the Black Dread and his final rider King Viserys the first of his name.

After watching HOTD episode 8 I had to change this from Balerion and Aegon I to Viserys! How ever you feel about the series you have to admit Viserys was and amazingly complex character.

Figured I’d share some of HOTD fanart! 🔥

Just sitting here emotional over how Adam and Ronan will always be best friends first and foremost. Yes they’re super attracted to each other and their kisses make them think of rainstorms and driving fast. But more importantly Ronan makes Adam laugh until he can’t stop. Adam makes Ronan senselessly happy. They do stupid childish antics together like crashing shopping carts and starting fires. They have so much fun. They also trust each other with their pain and they know exactly how to help one another, whether it’s Adam quietly letting Ronan rest his head on his shoulder or sitting in the car with Ronan in comforting silence, or Ronan taking off his shoes so Adam doesn’t have to walk outside barefoot alone, and telling Adam that everything will be ok even if it doesn’t seem like it in the present. They just understand each other and trust each other on a level that they don’t with anyone else in the series. And they make each other so happy and light and carefree, even with all of the trauma they’ve gone through. And that’s the kind of relationship that lasts. One that’s built on friendship and trust and laughter and respect. They started as oil and water and then grew to be best friends and then lovers. And it was such a beautiful progression to witness.

Maggie Stiefvater did what she had to do to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it actually is NOT Adam and Eve
