Do you have any OCs with dietary restrictions or preferences? Any vegetarians? Allergies? People who just want to live 100% on ice cream?

“People who just want to live 100% on ice cream?”

Ariel comes smashing through the wall, Kool-Aid man style.

He sincerely has the most reprehensible diet of any of my OCs ever.

Uhm.

Since I have to live with literal pain in the ass dietary restrictions, I don’t inflict them on my OCs.  They do have preferences, though.

Kell is probably the most picky.  He loves cow dairy but not goat dairy.  He’s constantly lamenting that he could never consign a sweet lil dairy cow to life on a pirate ship, and hates the fact that the part of the world he is in is goat-heavy. (This may be my own distaste for goat dairy. I’ve had things that had goat cheese in it that wasn’t totally disgusting, but it was small amounts and totally overwhelmed by other strong flavors. Mostly I just hate it.)  He goes through periods of swearing off meat.  If he’s doing a lot of cooking and handling a lot of raw meat anyway, he’ll eat what he cooks for everyone else, but if he’s not doing his own cooking he often doesn’t eat meat at all.  He won’t eat rare red meat.

Danny has been vegetarian off and on, too, for similar reasons. Bad associations.

Sebastian is pretty finicky.  He’s a kind of vampire who CAN eat in moderation, but if he’s going to bother eating, he wants it to be pretty high-quality.

Solomon likes spicy food with a complicated flavor profile and strong flavors.

Thane fuckin’ loves barbecue.

I mean mostly, aside from Sebastian and Kell, they aren’t real picky about their food.

Prompt: Dear past me, ...

Dear past me,

You’re going to be scared, and that’s okay. It’s scary. But the rewards? The rewards will be beyond anything you could have ever imagined. I promise. New people, new places, new lives to save and be saved by. 

You’ll think it will last forever. It won’t, but that’s not your fault. It will take you a very long time to realize that it isn’t your fault, but you’ve gotta try. You gotta keep moving forward. You’ll never forget him, and there will be someone new once you’ve recovered from the shock. It’s going to be so hard, and I’m so sorry.

Dear past me, 

Please don’t change a thing. Future you loves where she is at now. Loves it. There are still hard days. There are still days when sleeping is more important than helping. Sometimes you need to help yourself more than others.

But believe me. It is worth every ounce of pain and every scary moment. You’ll love it in Eorzea, I promise.

Today was a great day. I spent it chilling at home with my best friend in the world. We played video games and cuddled. He honestly is the most comfortable person in the world, even more so when everyone is in PJ pants on the couch watching Adventure Time. I hope you get an awesome day like mine soon!

Nice days my followers had recently!

thanks for cheering me up! ^^

Question for you, poodle-lady! Do you have any tips for doing clean feet on a toy poodle? I'm always terrified when sticking what seems like an enormously over-sized blade down by easily-nick-able skin flaps. I also feel like I'm working really inefficiently.

Answer for you!

Be veeery careful! I always take all of my bulk off of the feet with a #10 reverse, if the nails are really long - DO THEM LAST! Long nails are a super handy guide! Once that's done I'll take my #40 and clean them up top and bottom.

I've been meaning to make a video eventually doing Cairo's feet..

What do you think of corded poodles? (If they're well-kept and intentionally corded, of course. Not the ones who come in after being brushed "every day" and mom "doesn't know" why they're matted...)

No need to tell me the difference, I know full well! Proper corded and cared for poodles are AWESOME! It was actually one of the first ways poodles were kept hundreds of years ago, and poodles themselves were the reason dog grooming became a thing. There's a lot of history behind corded poodles and it's always a fun treat to see one.

I've seen one poodle in person with cords in her topknot, she was a blue poodle, super sweet, and looked cool as hell! I've considered cording my own dogs, but not sure I could do the 'between' phase where they look like a hot mess.

Nowadays, where we keep our pets indoors and not in the yard where a smelly dog like the old style cords would be, the cords are a lot more maintenance than a brushed coat. They need to be cleaned thoroughly, most people do a vinegar soak, and dried completely to keep the skin from getting irritated from the sitting moisture.

You don't see them often, but next time you see a corded poodle in person, get a selfie next to one!

I don't really know anything about Free!, but I see the water texture in the lighting, but none of the clothing is moving like its in water, nor are any of the people acting like they're under water. Gravity is operating normally and no one seems to be having trouble staying submerged without weight belts? Dunno.

if you look at at the ceiling its like being it looks exactly like when youre underwater and you look at the surface, and if you look close you can even see oxygen tanks on the backs of the “male strippers" also look to the top right u can see a ladder that leads into the pool also all of their dances symbolize their specific swim styles and such im tellin ya mang its a a pool theyre in a pool
