so my dad and sister are here for the week and they brought their dogs and tiny bastard is uncertain about this (and getting lots of time in rooms where the other dogs are closed out so that she can de-stress) but I haven't seen my dad's senior dachshund since early 2020 and. this dog is so funny. She looks like a haunted post office. She looks like if there was a shaky little sausage dog cast in The Evil Dead. She looks like her eyes were replaced with cursed opals and she's shivering about it.

[ms-demeanor]

Artist's impression.

[freeforaugust]

Is she blind?

[ms-demeanor]

She is. I didn't realize how much of her vision she'd lost in the last two years so I had to go around the house and babyproof it for everything knee height and lower when she got here.

She

[ms-demeanor]

One of my dad's park friends found her wandering on the street with no tags or chip about a month before my dad was going to move to texas, and ended up asking my dad to take care of her while they looked for her owner. The owner never turned up so dad kept her.

She is VERY spoiled, so spoiled in fact that even though she *can* dig her way under a blanket she prefers not to and will simply bark until someone covers her up (as I just did because my dad is at the movies). She's a standard doxie, is about 14 years old, and she has the softest fur of any dachshund I've ever met.

She is very sweet if you're a people, and she reacts about as well to strange dogs as you might expect a 14-year-old blind dachshund to, so we're keeping her and Tiny Bastard separated, which mostly involves putting each of them on a different soft surface with sunbeams to nap in. Tiny Bastard is no spring chicken either and at 9 years old spends about 18 hours a day sleeping. Sadie seems to be closer to 22 hours a day of naptime.

She got out in the sunshine for a little while today.

Wandered around the living room for an hour and then buried herself in some laundry.

Return of the Queen

[ms-demeanor]

Sadie is back, and is having issues with her eye.

Now, having looked at this post I'm sure you're saying "okay but really what more can be going on with this dog's eyes?"

One of them seems to be deflating? She has visited the vet, who says, basically, "it's not hurting, it's not infected, let us know if it changes, but for now our diagnosis is 'seventeen year old standard daschund' and there's no treatment for that aside from lots of warm blankets and comfy pillows."

So the primary effect here is that Sadie wanders around with a permanent expression of concern.

Her brow is furrowed, her ears are flopped, and she always looks like she thinks she might have left the stove on.

She is, as ever, transcendently haunted.

[ms-demeanor]

Do you love the color of the Sadie?

Haunted sausage is back in town.

I could not be more bored of women characters who are dangerous in a competent, sexy, luminous makeup and blow-dried hairstyle kind of way. I am so tired of all these dry-clean-only girlbosses strutting their way into stories. “Oh she’s so beautiful AND so good at martial arts and so clever and seductive” No! Get that outta here!! Give me more women who are dangerous in a real grungy way, like rusted metal with a sharp edge. Girls who make you glad you’ve had your tetanus shot. Girls who cut their own hair and get bad tattoos. Girls who are as charming as a wet feral cat. Girls who might be clever enough to Play The Game but would rather flip over the chess board and punch you in the throat. I demand more horrible unpleasant women!! Thank you.

[c-rowlesblogs]

YES this too please. Absolutely. Dumb butch rights. Diversity win

[c-rowlesblogs]

no, I’m sorry. “The unhygenic thing” is not opt-out for the kind of women I want more of. Fictional girls almost never get to be gross! When I said grungy, I meant grungy. She’s in yesterday’s makeup (if she wears any) and yesterday’s outfit. She smells like stale cigarette smoke. She smells like weed. She smells like gasoline and workshop grease. She smells like she’s found a nice dead thing to roll in. She lives in a one-room apartment surrounded by computer equipment and empty styrofoam takeout containers. She lives deep in a swamp in a cabin full of centipedes and spiders. She lives in a cave. She lives on a pirate ship. She chews off her nail polish, she goes dumpster-diving, she eats dry instant ramen crushed up in the bag like it’s chips, she eats bugs off the ground, she eats raw meat. In all of her many variations, human or not, to some degree or another, she is gross!! Thank you again.

reminded of this manifesto I wrote three years ago. Did I ever post it to this blog? It’s still all true.

Witch Hat Atelier Monday folks! 👀🎉

I wanted to do a more manga style piece with Coco and Agott (because they have a rocky start and I felt I wanted to do something that would give them some good press for the anime only viewers 😅 They're both good eggs at heart and they have a very sweet relationship that literally makes me go 'Aww' out loud 😂💖) and genuinely this is the best stab I've ever made at it, to the point I think it'll be hard for me to replicate it in future 💀 👀 (Fingers crossed practise makes me more consistent 🤞😂)

[bloodraven55]

at this point no one can tell me agott doesn’t have a crush on coco bc it just keeps getting louder and louder. your honour that is a baby gay if i ever saw one

DOGS' DINNER - SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

I've had this in the back pocket for some time now, and I figured I'll do some tiny touch-ups and post it for the sake of satiating my troubled conscience, knowing that I'm not leaving this a wip. While I'm not all too proud of this comic, it's nice to see that I can finally show off the weird Bio-IMP doo-dads that are a part of Elysium. I think they're fun. ...Horror romantic tension as well, that too.

very charming show! secunit is awesome and relatable
