So I did a thing... Here is the link to my Rafe Cameron x OFC fanfic. Synopsis:  After running away four years ago, Ottile Shelby had no intention of ever returning to the Outer Banks, yet when her dad calls, she does exactly that. Unsure of what to do as she encounters her old friends, the boy that broke her heart, and all the feelings she has suppressed over the last four years, she attempts to keep a hold on who she has grown to be while finally accepting that some things can't be changed and some people aren't who she thought they were. Debating posting it on tumblr as well.

Do you know how many dogs I’ve met that get scared or anxious around men because in their previous home men hit them? A lot, and they are very protective of the women who have adopted them now.

Men who are violent towards women are often violent towards animals as well. They think we’re all chattel. If a man wants you to choose between your dog or cat or him, dump the guy. Those animals will love you for the rest of your life, loyal and true.

Actually, I have something to add.

The other day I saw a story where a woman was asking why her dogs had suddenly started growling at her boyfriend whenever he was in the same room as her son.

And my immediate thought was ‘that boyfriend has hurt the kid somehow.’

Spoilers: that was exactly the case.

Trust ur dogs when they say something is off.

The first time my sister came to visit, via plane, after I got my dog, pupper growled at her and wouldn’t go near her for the first day. Next visit was by car (two day drive)and pupper LOVED my sister. They snuggled and played and none of us could figure out why the change. We thought maybe the scent of my sisters cat had lingered on her clothes, making that first visit a rough one. Whereas when she came by car, the scent had had time to wear off. Well that was partially true…

Fast forward about six months when I went north to visit my family. My sister walked into my parents’ house and pupper ran to greet my sister. Stopped dead in her tracks and started growling and barking. Hackles raised, full protection mode. My sisters husband had just walked in behind her.

My precious puppy wanted NOTHING to do with him. She barked, growled, ran away, and sat between him and my sister. Y'all my dog had spent maybe a weekend a half around my sister but protected her like this was her flesh and blood.

Eventually, my sister filed for divorce on grounds of “Extreme and repeated mental, emotional, and sexual abuse.” Divorce was final in less than a month because her claims were substantiated.

Trust the dog, honey. They KNOW.

I’ve never owned dogs, but I used to work with horses (which are a lot like big dogs).

There was this one horse I worked with named Tonto. He was a doll. He followed me like a puppy, snuck treats out of my pocket, he was the sweetest thing. We were practically inseparable.

A guy I was considering dating came to visit me one day, and Tonto wanted NOTHING to do with him. Normally well behaved, he shoved himself between us and would NOT let this guy near me. He was stomping, acting really aggressive, and tried to bite the guy. This horse was practically dragging me back toward the barn. At that moment, despite being like, 17, I knew something was up, and ultimately things didn’t pan out for guy and me.

A year later I found out he had lied about his age (he said he was 18 but he was actually 27) he was arrested for sexually assaulting an 11 year old girl.

TRUST THE ANIMALS.

The reply with the mastiff gets me every single time. I’m not a dog person but my god, they are Good Animals.

[three-cheers-for-pretty-odd]

Trust your animals, they more often than not have better instincts than humans. They are Good Boys and Good Girls.

[hey-you-i-just]

My family’s dog was like this. In my first year of college, I started dating this guy and she wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. We thought it was just because she has anxiety, but she never warmed up to him. We ended up breaking up after he was incredibly emotionally abusive.

When I first met my husband, I liked another guy in our friend group. She didn’t mind the other guy, but she absolutely loved my now husband which was so weird because she was usually so skittish around men.

anyway, yeah. dogs know.

Get it girl. This is the kind of government oversight we need. Also don’t let him off. Take his money.

Katie Porter for President! This is the kind of leadership we need. 

[thosebizzareserpents]

I get what your saying. I don't excuse her behavior either. I can hear the Pansy bashing coming 😑. She was written as the stereotypical bitch bully which sucks. She never had any real substance other than to be an antagonist. She reminded me of the Sinister Sisters from Halloweentown. ( Idk if you know that)

Aaay the Halloweentown series was my shit (only 90s kids remember 😆) Maggie Cromwell was badass. Yes!! The Sinister Sisters are a great example. The post was not a bash on Pansy but more so on JKRowling’s statement on witches and wizards don’t care for skin color only magical poweress. I’ve never hated Pansy, I was mostly curious about why is she like this?

Re-reading HP it feels like all of Pansy’s energy is put into being a bully. Spouting cruel things for no reason. Nothing else. And it’s easy to call a character written like Pansy a bitch. It the easiest insult and the worse. At this point its tiring (giving the longest eye-roll) seeing teenage girls written like that.

A while back, I don’t how long but there’s a fic I read and bookmarked. Ugly: In Defense of Pansy Parkinson by dirgewithoutmusic.

The quote “Because I’m not fifteen anymore,” said Pansy. “God, do you know what precious Potter Sr. got up to at school, the bully? But boys get to grow up to be men, you see, and us girls just grow up to be bitches.”

It just resonated with me so you don’t understand. I got to understand Pansy more.

WHO

Name: Avery O’Brien Dossier: Neptune Age: 24 Mutant Risk Level: N/A Affiliation and Occupation: Neutral, Bartender Gender/Pronouns: UTP Faceclaim: Finn Cole

POWER

DARK MATTER MANIPULATION: Mutants with this power have the ability to manipulate dark matter. While not much is known about dark matter, those who possess this ability are often studied in order for scientists to discover more about it. From what is known, mutants can use dark matter to manipulate gravity and also project dark matter as an attack in forms such as beams or bursts. Mutants have also been found to have weak form manipulation powers associated with this. 

AESTHETIC

They are the cool hand on a forehead, checking for a fever, the condensation that sweats down the sides of a glass on a hot day, and the feeling of being surrounded by nothingless when you enter a warm bath. The desire that burned in the back on one’s mind saying that they can always do better, be better than what they are. They are the cool sand that buries you under the beach before you even realize what’s happening. The dark side of the moon, the cold and unknown creeping in on you when you least expect it.

BIOGRAPHY

To be posted after acceptance. 

CONNECTIONS

PENELOPE O’BRIEN, Twin: Penelope is the only person that Avery truly cares for. Their whole world has been about protecting the other - from their parents, other mutants, the world - and Avery will die protecting them. With the influx of people into the city, they know things have changed and they’ll do what it takes to protect their twin whoever decides to hurt them; even if that means trying to control their power. 

REN ITO, Toy: Oh, how Avery wishes Ren would say more than two words to them. They can see fear in their eyes whenever Ren dares to look at them for more than a few seconds. It’s a game of cat and mouse that Avery looks forward to whenever the two of them run into each other. Maybe one of these days Ren will find the courage to bite back, and Avery will exploit that bite for their own entertainment. 

LENOX SYED, Interest: Lenox showed up at the bar one night while they were working and Avery couldn’t get them out of their mind. Each night they appear in the barstool across for them is one spent listening to the tales the other tells, ignoring any customers that so much as dare to interrupt them. Avery isn’t sure who Lenox is or who they’re running from, but they’re fine with not knowing as long as they stay in their life.

NEPTUNE is OPEN for applications.
