I forgot to post this haha (that's what being too busy with animation brings you oops) but anyway!! Older gussiri designs bc I think they deserved that (they did have designs in my mind but I had never made a reference for them haha)

Plus some notes on what they're up to at that age! They're so silly <333

#forgot to put this in the notes but their baby girl sunniva would be abouuuut 9 years old #no-one knows how they managed to stay together this long #siri's become the head midwife (which isn't that impressive cuz she's one of the few midwives) but she's very proud of it #she also makes a lot of their family's clothes by hand and puts little lavender pouches in everyone's beds for a good smell #gustav lost an arm in some kind of freak accident (probably that's still up for debate cuz I'm going back and forth on that detail) #(even tho it isn't exactly a detail it's like. bigger than a detail LMAO) #he's a blacksmith (surprisingly) and his workplace is a complete mess #siri brings him lunch in exchange for kisses #their daughter absolutely hates them being affectionate #sunni is often playing with trinkets at the smithery #i wanted to add a little sunni design here too but i don't have a lot of time to draw these days smh #anyways #httyd #how to train your dragon #oc #artinandwritin's art #siri vínteri #gustav larson #character designs #oc x canon #gussiri

there's this joke about phoenix having a reputation of an incredible lawyer despite only being one for 3 years but like. guy literally solved a 15 year old murder on the last day it could possibly be solved with only two pieces of evidence remaining. even if we don't count his insane win streak that alone should have earned him the reputation of a fucking genius

#and then he remained jobless for months because he was too sad about maya going away #to a place that was literally a train ride away from him #aa1 phoenix i love you you have a big brain and even bigger heart #aa #he lived he served then he died 🫡 then he lived again #arguably mia did help if you interpet it as her ghost manifesting itself through maya and not phoenix fuckin hallucinating #but still

i do find the difference between jpop/kpop showcasing people who didn't necessarily have the most raw talent to begin with openly working hard to become better singers or dancers vs the western, and specifically US obsession with acting like the only real talents are the ones who were "born" with it from day dot interesting.

#this isnt a Ooh western music bad post either by the way #i do just find the way over time its gone from ever really showing any of the hard work a person put in to just pretending it was 100% #natural is very interesting #bc No... even the people with natural talent have to nurture it #whereas seeing someone who was kinda terrible to begin and actively showing them improve and being like This was bc they practiced is nice #although that def seems less of a thing as kpop gets bigger and bigger #ive seen some terrible vids of idols and its like no you put in the money to train them properly good lord #its the same way i always find the obsession with bands in the west forming “naturally” rather than being put together funny #like I get it bc some lil high school friends makin a group and becoming big is very fun and cool #but so often those groups implode and ended up hating each other #a group of musicians getting together bc they're musicians doesn't inherently make them less interesting as a group that formed on their ow

I like to think Alpha-17 has gained a sort of Boogeyman status among the CT cadets.

Think about it: He's an alpha class clone, known for his no-nonsense pragmatism and cantankerous disposition (even when talking to the Jedi!). He only trains very select elite types of clones such as commanders and ARCs, and some say he can even beat five Nulls in a fight all on his own (despite having been severely injured in the past!).

That has got to earn you both admiration from your smaller brothers, and also a little of bedtime terror fright. Because Alpha-17 would have no qualms taking any of them out early if they were a proven liability to the cause (he was willing to blow up the hatcheries if it meant the Seppies wouldn't get their hands on the Tubies and Jango's DNA, this man is not fucking around).

How many versions of "Don't go out after curfew or Big Bad Alpha-17 will get you" stories do you think there are? And do you think he'd be aware of his infamy among the cadets?

#star wars #the clone wars #alpha 17 #headcanons #They're all siblings but there's a clear clone hierarchy #and I'll bet the Alphas and Nulls are both admired and likely feared for their complicated moods/personalities #they were trained by some very cantankerous mandos (including Jango himself) it's only normal they'd be a little hard to get along with #plus they're also bigger and stronger so to a cadet they probably look like man shaped mountains #even if the cadets are training to be soldiers they are still children and perceive things as children would #and children tend to spin wild stories to freak each other out #for what it's worth I think Alpha-17 would know about the boogeyman stories and would probably roll his eyes #maybe have some fun with it by lightly freaking them out on purpose because training cadets on Kamino is becoming a little boring

I can't share the 30-some pictures I did with my FB post, going from last December to this December. So I'll just use this one - which I just took after a quick harness training session in which she bounced across half the couch to meet me & wagged for the first 15 seconds, and before she made me put my phone down for a bout of snuggle scritches. 😭🥰

This is such a long post, I'm going to put it under a cut. But today is the 1 year anniversary of Emma coming home to us, and I am FULL of emotions over this little dog. So if you want to read my rambling & think with me how far my baby has come in a year.... read on!

One year of my Emma. 💙💜 I didn't really expect to love this dog so much, velcro dog and all. She is definitively My Dog, and I never had a choice in the matter. I think that was just gonna happen, ever since I first saw her adoption post 1 year & 9 months ago. Every time I saw her posted again, I wanted her. It was meant to be! 🥰

And now I look back on the year & think about it all. We changed a bunch of things in our household for this little dog, and all year, we kept adjusting & improving where it was needed for her & the other animals. I love my family so much, and I'm so grateful to have found these other people who love animals & are so willing to adapt as needed for their happiness too. Everyone in the house agreed to take on a project dog, and everyone stepped up to help her settle in.

It's weird too, bc it often doesn't feel like we've DONE that much. But when I tell someone new about her, or spell it out for myself, I'm reminded that we've done the work, even if it mostly didn't seem like work. And we gave her what we knew we absolutely could, what she needed most - time and space. We went at her pace, let her lead us, and it's been truly amazing to watch her over this year.

Emma has gone from being very worried to terrified about any & all human movements, unable to be pet or touched, quick to be on guard at any small change in position. Terrified of loud noises and too much activity. Barking at Joel to try and make him go away. Pottying in the house on pee pads because outside is scary. Only laying in a lap if the lap was covered with a blanket.

All of that.... to a dog that spends 98% of her time relaxed, happy, and ready to be involved. She greets us with alert barks instead of guarding barks, tail wags, bouncing, and licks (okay, mostly me for some of that but still). Everyone in the house has been able to pet her. She actively loves to be pet by Jack in bed & me anywhere when she wants snuggles. She plays with her dog siblings and with me. She discovered the joys of yard zoomies early on & never looked back - she potty trained faster and better than Spring!

She knows and likes our household routines. She LOVES food, and it's the quickest way to her heart! 😂 But she's learned some manners too, like not snatching food with any opportunity! She's gotten more comfortable being on the floor. She still likes to chew more than our other two, and has gotten really great at managing big emotions by redirecting to a Benebone!

We're not the best at active training, but even so, she makes us & me look good! She's interested now, when the treats come out, and wants to see what to do to get some. She interacts with new objects, she is doing great with harness training.

She has opinions now!!! And she will tell you!!! Especially if they involve dinner time! 😂 I still can't believe she demand barks now, and it's been too cute for us to bother stopping for the most part.

I've thought about goals for her over the next year, and I definitely have some big ones. Continue harness training until I can put it fully on her & take it off. Leash skills & comfort with them. All of that slowly, so slowly leading up to trips out of the house - to do vet happy visits, check out some SniffSpots, and go visit her sister at foster mom's house. I also want to introduce some pattern games to help with all of that.

And we plan to start having people over to the house again! Not sure how often or how many, and we may have to alter pace based on how she does. But she's so often surprised us with her resilience, so I think we'll do okay! (And obviously all visitors will be required to follow rules around my pup, or face the mama bear wrath 😂)

But mostly....I just can't wait for another year with this extremely sweet, loving, exuberant little dog that is working so hard to find her confidence. We're all so very proud of Emma, and love her so much. 💜💙

I also included a thank you to both rescues & Emma's foster mom, for all of their time, work, and hoops to ensure that Emma would be safe. They genuinely gave us all the information we needed to make sure we were prepared, and I am even more grateful for that after seeing how rare our experience is in my fearful dogs group.

#dogblr #fearful dogs #rescue dog #Emma pup #fbw rambles #my pets #long post #i just.... can't believe how far she's come #especially when it feels like we've done so little #i didn't know what to expect in bringing home a half feral fearful dog #she was honestly easier than we were braced for #but i still would've been so much bigger a mess without the initial support of foster mom and the training rescue #and especially my dog discord #who I've leaned on even after we stopped pestering the trainer via text

It took three weeks to teach Kermit there were two weave poles that he had to pay attention to so that he could learn to find the entrance and we could progress to the round-the-clock exercise.

It took three sessions to get to round-the-clock with Zaku.

I'm so lucky to get to train such radically different thinking styles. They're teaching me so much.

#kermit is so small that he didn't even realize there *were* two weave poles at first #from his perspective there is a big pole #and over in the distance five miles away there's a second pole #so we had to teach him to look for both #for a bigger dog it's a hell of a lot more obvious #'two poles? sure thing!' #weave poles #my training #agility

#mun in the moon [ ooc ] #i have no idea how he got to me so badly on this playthrough of KH #i think he only knows like. fire magic and maybe one or two other spells #i think he doesnt know healing magic at all #i know that boy doesnt know how to read and write he was raised in the KEYBLADE GRAVEYARD by XEHANORT #i think he doesnt do training matches he acts like hes fighting to the death in every fight ever #hence why he just fuckin #flops on the ground after so many fights in bbs #he just puts his entire strength and all his energy into every fight so viciously he doesnt keep stamina #so after it hes just absolutely winded #holding my head in my hands. boy whos anger comes from a deep sense of lonliness and envy because hes been alone all his life #and wants what ventus has so bad cause hes gotten so many looks into it #but he thinks the only way he can Stop feeling like that is straight up just dying. and becoming whole with him again #cause he hasnt been given the space to breathe and deprogram himself from thinking hes a monster not made to exist #which. it doesnt help in the bbs times darkness was way more villianized people didnt think you needed both!!! #so everyone would've just been like ew youre mad of darkness youre evil right away anyways even without the xehanort influence #i know he hates looking at his reflection and so many parts of himself cause hes like ew im just a mismash of ventus and sora #my boys lack of a sense of identity out of being a weapon or feeling like something not meant to exist #just meant to die to fulfill a bigger purpose and become someone else again #everyone else is trying to get out of the heart hotel hes trying to get IN #anyways. im normal now. #i have so many other thoughts but i cant word them just yet. boy who i adopted 3 days ago rotting my head

Listen, i don’t care if it’s romantic/platonic/barely put up with, but in totk, Link and Zelda share that bed. I didn’t spend all those rupees so Link could sleep on the floor, Nintendo. You couldn’t even give him a bed under the stairs? WHERE’S THE SIGN THAT SAYS “LINK’S HOUSE” NINTENDO. COMMIT TO THE SHIP OR AT LEAST PUT TWO FRICKING BEDS IN THE HOUSE THIS IS MALARKEY

#rose and rambles #im replaying botw and did the house quest again and *clenches fist* i forgot the sign #THEY TOOK AWAY LINK'S SIGN #POOR GUY DOESN'T HAVE ANYONE BUT TRAINED ASSASSINS REMEMBERING HIS FACE AND YOU TOOK AWAY HIS SIGN #This is an instance in which i think the fact that nintendo is afraid to commit to certain aspects of Link's character is more harmful #than not #like #i do not think Link is self-insert for the player i don't think he's ever been super successful as one #and in botw totk its clear theres a lot more we get that delves into Link as his own person #so i think the weird wishy-washy does he actually have feelings for this person is just unnecessary #like the fact that nintendo can't seem to pick so they leave evidence for *any* outcome is the problem #and that is best seen in the house #like in all accounts with how link is always traveling with zelda anD HER BODYGUARD he should AT MINIMUM have a house next door #that's just job related #so even if he did just give the whole thing to Zelda it still begs the question of WHERE DOES HE SLEEP?!?!?!!?! #SURELY NOT AT THE INN IN HATENO IF THE YIGA ATTACK #AND HE'S THAT FAR AWAY? I THINK NOT #it's just frustating #its like nintendo were like 'well we won't confirm either way whether they're together so we won't put in another bed but we won't make #the twin bed any bigger so the audience can fight amongst themselves' #JUST GIVE LINK A BED #THAT'S ALL I WANT #GIVE HIM A FRICKIN BED NINTENDO MY BOY IS ANXIOUS AND TIRED
