boring take from real 21st century idiots: bdsm is bad because it's basically torture
interesting take from a fictional 14th century monk: torture is bad because it's basically sex
Shoutout to the nun who had other nuns tie her up and pour hot wax on her as she confessed her sins
I'm sure that's true, but something tells me googling "nun tied up by other nuns" "hot wax" "confessing sins" will likely get what you might call rather un-academic results
Considering the differences between Julien and Azune, the party's Working Dogs.
Julien is a herding dog. He's bred for it and trained for it. Think Border Collie or Belgian Malinois. Not smart in a "can figure out a puzzle" way but not just highly trainable but REQUIRES training. An untrained or underutilized herding dog is a grumpy trouble-causing miserable thing.
They also NEED a Human. They get anxious without their human around to provide clear directions and goals. All they want is to get directions, fulfil directions, make human happy.
Those instincts can't be put down, they will try to guide small children or other animals, pace circles, become territory aggressive or aggressive with people/animal's interacting with their person.
But with directions, with a goal, with a person, with plenty of exercise both phycisal and mental, with something to guide and direct.... Happy content dog.
Azune is a Livestock Guardian Dog. Great Pyre or such.
He's not necessarily looking to herd or do tricks. He knows his purpose already and how to do it.
LSG dogs need territory and things to protect, and they do it very well. They don't tend to get as attached to an individual person, although they will happily accept people in their pact. Extremely gentle with smaller creatures, fantastic with children.
They're pretty low maintenance, self-motivated, just let them do their thing, patrol their territory, check on with everything. They're pretty fluffy and adorable looking.
They're also exceptionally deadly if a predator comes too close, and their thick fur makes it hard for many other animals to land a solid bite on them. And they have exceptional memories, if for whatever reason they fail to dispatch a threat, they will remember scents and sights and sounds and be all that much more alert if it returns.
They also are great for herd dynamics, they can be placed with anxious animals to help them be more calm and reduce injuries and maladaptive behaviors.
Interestingly that includes helping their more anxious cousins the herding dogs. They need different things but they both need to be USEFUL. And the differences mean under the right circumstances they can work well together.

This is what hozier meant when he says he falls a little bit in love everyday with someone new
I once watched a girl in the produce aisle pick up a bushel of bananas that were precariously perched on the edge and move them farther back and under her breath she said “there you go sweeties - that will be more comfortable” before shuffling off and… I think about her often.
« Silent lovers » is such a sweet way to put it.
I was driving on the highway and passed a dude absolutely JAMMING alone in his car, doing those little half dance moves you do when you’re stuck sitting down in a small space, bellowing unheard lyrics at the top of his lungs, and my instant reaction was to think “I love you.” And then to pray he had a good day, or whatever, because those fleeting moments of connection are so incredible.
do you ever think of the fresno nightcrawler
because i do. god, i do
there is no nursing shortage btw. just a shortage of nurses willing to work under the terrible, unsafe conditions created by capitalists 👍
how to solve the nursing shortage:
mandatory patient-to-nurse ratio laws modeled after the laws in California
pay nurses more
🤷♀️
perpetuating the myth of a "nursing shortage" only benefits the healthcare administrators fucking us over, giving them an excuse to claim that they can't help but short staff the hospitals because there just aren't nurses to fill those roles
nurses literally make up a full 1% of the US population. there is no nursing shortage
3. also unions
one of the things i find absolutely fascinating about azune is that he's shared more critical information about his true self to people he doesn't have the longest history or the closest relationship. to be fair he was prompted first by both vaelus and bolaire, but i think it's a deep foundational characteristic of his. and the responsibility about the lack of information his closest dynamics have falls on both sides.
the more he respects or admires or loves a person, the more i think he falls in the mistake of trying to present himself as who he thinks they'd like him to see. for thjazi he was the useful asset, for members of the torn banner he wants them to see a grown reliable soldier after all these years. he was very focused on protecting hal now that thjazi isn't there to keep him out of this anymore, and luis has mentioned on multiple accounts that he tries to keep a lot of the person he was for thjazi hidden. he keeps bringing up to murray, who has very strong morals and convictions, that this, who he's pretending to be, isn't him.
comparing it to vaelus, who they had a very important scene together but don't really know each other. he shared that this was the language of his people. or bolaire, who at best they knew each other in passing prior to the schemers arc. he gets his questioning about people and things. his more philosophical questions in general. he gets the correct pronunciation of his name. the less he feels like there are expectations, in a way, of him the more he expresses himself more easily.
his way of attempting to gain julien's trust i think is very telling on his attempt to maintain trust with everyone. 'i will tell the story you chose to tell.' he rarely corrects or contradicts people. he's suppressed his individuality for a myriad of reasons. he is to be useful always, what people need of him. and it shows why his relationships are either so fractured or distant. he does have a hand in creating that distance without realising it.

At the local hamburger shop and they said yelled out “order 167!” And three middle school age kids yelled in perfect unison “ 6 7!” Life is sometimes so beautiful
If you reference 67 you deserve to be executed on the spot tbh
If I was king for a day the first thing I would do would be to sentence you to a life full of love and understanding.
Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.
Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.
I worked in a supermarket for 7 years and I don't think I can understate just how much cleaning you had to do for it to look clean (it very often where not in the places you aren't supposed to see)
True for food service, retail establishments, gyms, outdoor areas, schools, religious buildings, office buildings, hospitals and medical buildings, etc. People usually only notice when a space is NOT clean, meanwhile every time a space is clean it’s only because of the diligent work of janitors, maintenance staff, custodians, parks workers, or volunteers.
