Why French Bulldogs (and Their Owners) Are the Worst: A Rant

"So not only are overall health, quality of life, and mobility sacrificed to get these modern marvels distinctive enough to flatter the owner’s self-image and impress passersby, so is the ability to behave as real dogs. Deduct right off the top the many weeks or months the French and English bulls that I, personally, have known to spend in ICU isolation attached to oxygen tanks for pneumonia. Add the very common multiple surgeries to correct their show-standard mouths, noses, eyes, skin, legs, and spines. Then add the recovery time, assuming there will be full recovery in immunocompromised breeds prone to infections, and not much is left for getting to know other dogs and learning basic social skills. Disabled pets may help improve their owners’ social chances, but they’re dealt a bum hand for dealing with their own kind. Poor performance in puppy mixer groups is par for the course."

"Assuming Frenchies survive puppyhood — and the owners don’t dump them — they’ll never be able to use normal body language to communicate with other dogs because their bodies are so warped. “Correct” appearance as per their breed standard may say something about the owners’ financial condition and discriminating taste, but those weird alien eyes, the frozen glare and exposed teeth, the endless coughing, wheezing, and cartoon gurgling that fans find so cute and entertaining, give other dogs they pass on sidewalks good reason to be alarmed and on their guard. Nature’s basic repertoire of expressions and vocalizations has been perverted by human meddling, and if the owners aren’t smart enough to know the gene pool is being threatened by these weak and tragic specimens, other dogs are. Humped backs distort posture and intent. Dwarfed legs prevent play bowing and invite aggression. Short curly tails can’t wag or warn to signal as they should. Deliberate mutations multiply misunderstandings and explain the constant brawls Frenchies are famous for getting into at the local dog park, even amongst each other because they’re startled by what they see in the mirror."

HENRYCAVILL Today marks one year since Meat (our french bulldog) decided to shuffle off this mortal plane and continue on his journey. I have to say, I hadn't previously felt pain quite like the pain I felt when Meat died. I'd only know him for three years, but in those three years he and I made such incredible progress together, and he completely changed my outlook on French Bulldogs. He was deaf, so I learned how to use body language to communicate properly with him. He couldn't stand other dogs, but we got to a place of tolerance with Kal (my Akita). He survived a very complicated cancer removal surgery. He travelled to far flung lands without complaint. He would come looking for me at night if I stayed up playing computer games too late. He would be ferociously protective over Natalie, but learned to trust Kal and me for guidance. He fell ill and recovered a number of times. He enjoyed many a backpack ride once he got too tired to make any decent length walks. At the end he fell ill with a pneumonia. I'll never forget the expression on his face, desperately asking me for help on the way to the vet in Turkey because he couldn't breath. Once there, however, he held strong and recovered to such a point that we felt hope, but it turns out he was just waiting for us to bring him home. He passed away peacefully in England. Thinking of him always brings great sadness, but also great joy. We'll miss him as long as we live, but wouldn't live nearly as richly had we never have known him. Journey well Meatboi.

Can you do a one shot of cub standing upright??

Sorry it’s the anon from before

YESSS. Thank you for being patient, friend! You got it! Here's a one-shot about a year and a half after the Security Measures main series. Warnings: dark-ish, sub-themes of human trafficking, heavy pet play Word Count: ~1500 Excerpt: You swallow down your growls. You straighten your spine against the stress. No slouching. Slouching turns to bending, bending turns to curling… You roll your shoulders back and puff out your chest intentionally. Your focus shifts back to your breath — the only thing you can control at the moment.

IN A WAREHOUSE IN YEKATERINBURG, RUSSIA It took roughly a thousand hours of mobility training and practice to get you here, but you are here on your own two feet.

You stand stoically, a sentinel outside the room where your owner engages in a high-stakes meeting with the Yekaterinburg mob boss. Your hard gaze wills your sight to bore through the closed door. Your auditory enhancements are dialed up to try and catch every sound, including the cadence of Yelena’s speech rhythms as she negotiates for keeps.

You are dressed head-to-toe in black tactical. Always mindful of your comfort and mobility during missions, Yelena designed your suit to be roomy enough to accommodate any necessary movements. The fabric clings to your body but is not too tight, allowing flexibility without compromising protection. Your hood, a custom piece, resembles a K-9, complete with little ears that stand up on either side of your head. It extends with a longer snout build-out that provides ample space for a muzzle when required while still optimized for breathing.

Around your neck, you proudly wear your day collar, a symbol of your loyalty and Yelena’s ownership. A simple bulldog harness adorns your torso, providing additional support and security. Plus, you love it when she tugs on the strap to pull you close.

But it's the footwear that still feels strange to you. Yelena insisted you wear shoes after you accidentally burned the pads of your feet. These steel and supple leather boots have been expertly molded to fit your feet like a second skin. You wiggle your toes, still adjusting to the sensation so different from what you were accustomed to. So weird.

As the negotiation progresses, you study the tone of the voices in the room, Yelena's trademark confidence, and the mobster's unpredictable temperament. The rhythm of their conversation, the pauses, and the inflections become a catalog of information that you analyze every nuance for potential threats.

You swallow down your growls. You straighten your spine against the stress. No slouching. Slouching turns to bending, bending turns to curling downward… You roll your shoulders back and puff out your chest intentionally. A tiny bit of your focus shifts to your breath — the only thing you can control at the moment.

XXXXX

ONE YEAR AGO (TRAINING MONTAGE)

Yelena's determination to have you on more extended missions made her focus on your mobility earnestly. Due to the regulations that required HK-9s to travel in crates in the cargo holds of planes, Yelena wanted to find a way to keep you close to her side. So, she started you on a rigorous routine, retraining you to stand upright after spending most of your adult life walking on all fours.

The training began with early morning workouts, targeting your core muscles and balance. You could sit up on the ottoman for an entire movie as you gain strength. Well, if the movie wasn’t too scary (and didn’t set off your protective instincts enough to lunge at the screen.) From there, Yelena guided you to stand using support from a wall or other sturdy objects, allowing you to grow accustomed to being upright. Climbing up her while she stood was always your favorite exercise, with the instant reward of affectionate kisses and nuzzling.

Gradually, Yelena decreased the amount of support you required. With time and practice, you could stand unassisted for extended periods, your muscles growing stronger as she molded your body through her instruction.

Once you could stand freely, Yelena shifted her focus to re-teaching you how to walk. Advised by Oksana, she transformed the home gym by installing parallel bars and other physical therapy equipment, providing you with stable tools for practice.

The effort wasn't without its snags. Melina offered her assistance when you experienced unexplained bouts of vertigo during your first steps. She expertly assessed your sensory inputs and made slight adjustments near your vestibular nerve (to reverse tampering from years ago), alleviating any concerns of nausea or dizziness. Your progress kicked into overdrive when you could stop worrying about losing your lunch.

Yelena ensured the house environment was safe and free of obstacles, so you could no longer leave your toys everywhere. Bipedal-only walking days were implemented inside the house, pressing you to practice on surfaces like wood, carpet, tile, and grass. Yelena remained patient and positive throughout, even when frustration got the better of you.

She stood by your side with a cane during sessions on the treadmill, gently tapping you on either calf to correct any toe-turning. She listened keenly to your body's messages and promptly ceased training if you experienced pain. She was better at that than you were.

But the playful moment when you confidently moonwalked backward across the kitchen floor — a move taught to you by one of the widows during some downtime— signaled to Yelena that the time had come to take you out.

XXXXX

BACK IN THE CORRIDOR

You stand at attention as Yelena exits the dimly lit room; her expression is unreadable, and her gun is smoking. Her eyes briefly look up and meet yours, a fleeting acknowledgment. There is no need for words; you are leaving now. You fall into step beside her as you walk down the corridor. Your eyes sweep the area and over her head, knowing that four widows are covertly covering the building but will not reveal themselves unless signaled.

Together, you and Yelena move in sync, a well-practiced vigilance. Each turn you take, each hallway you navigate, brings you closer to the exit. Yelena quickens her pace, and you adjust accordingly, seamlessly matching her movements. You share an unspoken understanding, a mutual trust forged through countless missions and shared experiences.

Finally, you reach the exit. With a subtle nod, you guide her toward the sleek egress vehicle, its polished exterior gleaming under the moon. The car door opens soundlessly, and Yelena gracefully slides into the driver’s seat. You ensure her safety with a gentle click as the door closes.

The engine purrs softly. With a smile on her lips, she reaches over and opens the passenger door, motioning for you to join her. She whispers with her voice laced with pride and anticipation, "Get in, cub."

XXXXX

AT A SAFE HOUSE NEAR THE AIRPORT

She opens the door for you when you get out of the car. You reach out, then stop yourself. Yelena looks back at you and smiles softly, then reaches to curl her pinkie around your index finger. “You always need a leash, yes?” You roll your eyes. She continues while leading you to the door, “You know you love it.”

You smile shyly with a shrug and sign. Maybe just a little.

Yelena opens the house with her security access, then locks it down when you are both inside. Once in your bedroom, Yelena stands before you, her eyes scanning your tactical gear. “You did a very good job, my cub, and you looked very cool in your new suit.”

Yelena’s inspections were familiar after a mission, but this time, she had a mischievous glint in her eyes. With deliberate movements, she approached you, her fingers deftly undoing the fastenings of your suit, one by one.

You stood still, anticipation building as she removed each piece. As her fingers released the buckles of your harness, the straps fell away. When she unzipped the suit, her fingers brushed against your skin, igniting a trail of shivers. The hood was the next to come off. Her fingers lingered, tracing the contours of the muzzle as she set it aside.

Yelena's touch ghosted over the day collar, a silent affirmation of her possession. With gentleness, she leaned forward to press her lips against the lock that symbolized your devotion.

With every piece of clothing removed, you stood before Yelena, bared and vulnerable. Her eyes met yours, a mixture of affection and possessiveness shining in them. She took a step closer, caressing your cheek, and whispered, "You're mine." You close your eyes briefly, then open them, knowing that her claim extends far beyond the physical.

You take a long breath and sign. Please?

Yelena smiles slowly and nods once. “Kneel.”

A wave of relief hits you, and you can barely help yourself from folding in midair.

As you lower yourself, your eyes never leave hers while your perspectives are inverted. You go from towering over her down to her eye level, then lower until you are on your knees, looking up at your owner.

It's hard to describe the transference. Looking down at Yelena makes you feel protective, strong, and ready. It also makes you feel loving and compassionate. When you look down at her, you see not only her physical appearance but also her vulnerability. You see a person who trusts you.

But looking up at someone you love can also be a very intimate experience. It makes you feel safe and protected. It makes you feel excited and grateful. When you look up at Yelena, you see her body but also her soul. You see the person who makes you feel happy, loved, and cherished.

After a thousand hours of training to stand and move, it becomes clear that kneeling for her requires no time at all.

hello!!! I'm sharing some of my WTTT headcanons now because I have no idea what else to post!

- Tennessee has one giant family gathering atleast once or twice a year, like on the fourth of July, Christmas, or Thanksgiving. When they all do get together, atleast one ambulance is called.

- Maryland has monthly bonfires with Virginia and West Virginia. Sometimes Pennsylvania comes as well.

- Georgia owns every single jersey for the Bulldogs past and present; he's been collecting since the team started out.

- Florida keeps a gator in the house; California has yet to find out about it.

- Gov has a cat that is extremely fluffy.

- Alaska hand makes dog beds for his huskies. He even embroiders their names on them.

- Maryland will drive literal days to avoid going on a plane (he is terrified).

- Alaska wears jean short shorts and a sleeveless shirt in the snow.

- Washington takes allergy meds year-round to help with his allergies; it doesn't actually help.

- Pennsylvania has scars from the Battle of Gettysburg.

- Texas 100% has a tattoo that says "Remember the Alamo".

I can't stop thinking about a universe were they make peace before the movie. And toddler Daniel forcing the seekers to watch Rio.

Because birdies, obviously.

Skywarp:

would absolutely love the movie

got really excited during the escape the plane scene

Definitely did not cry during multiple scenes

Got upset every time a song was interrupted

Scared of the bulldog character

Traumatized by the cockatoo being a cannibal

Thundercracker:

would really like the movie too but would be less expressive of it,

would be really into storytelling aspect of it

thought the whole Carnival aspect was pretty cool

Fucking hated the cockatoo it reminds him of someone

Starscream:

actually really enjoyed the movie but would never tell anyone that

was tense during the blizzard scene

Traumatized by the end of "Real in Rio" song.

Accidentally verbalized this excitement at the plane Escape scene

Was secretly jealous of the bird couples

Laughed when the cockatoo got hit by the plane

All:

The Smuggler's made them uncomfortable

Resonated with the fear of being flightless

Thought the birds dancing with their wings was pretty

Got upset at the birds in the cages

Flinched with Jewel got her Wing Crushed

Cheered when blue learned how to fly, all but Skywarp denied this

PS: If someone wants to or is going to write the plot up to them watching the movie I would be happy to write they're in time reactions, just let me know.

I want more scenarios with old bots (I really want more scenes with them, or art 🥲) just some fluff, like: evening under the stars, listening to stories

YES! I agree they need more love and more attention!

Jetfire:

He loves to tell stories and sure does have many of them. He likes to sit, relax, and talk about his life and the history of Cybertron and Earth to any bot or human that will listen. He'll be delighted if you sit with him and listen to his stories. He can talk your ear off forever, so plan to stay with him for a long time. Maybe even take a blanket and pillow because he would talk to you until late at night.

If you fall asleep, he'll wake you up then keep talking. He'd only let you sleep if it was actually nighttime.

If you need to know anything about Earth's history, he's your bot. He's been on Earth a long time, he knows more than most humans.

He calls you his little spitfire, and he gets really happy anytime he sees you.

Bulldog:

He can't remember your name so will often just call you nicknames depending on how you look, what you wear, or what hobbies you like to do.

He has a number of those large garden games, like giant chess, checkers, and Connect 4. They are good for his memory and give him something to do since he can't fight. He loves it when you play with him.

He likes to listen more than talk since his memory isn't the best. He enjoys hearing about Earth and likes it when you bring him things to show him. He's very interested to learn things even though he may forget them. He's particularly interested in birds.

Stratosphere:

He may be old and clunky, but he still loves to fly. He would be very grateful if you flew with him. Because it gives him something to do and makes him feel useful. He likes to show you around the world.

He likes to carry you on his shoulder when he walks around because it makes you very tall and he finds it entertaining to give you a new view.

He will teach you how to fly and will give you complete control of him. He'd only resume control if you were starting to fly into a cliff or something. But he's a great teacher, very calm, and explains things well.

Lieutenant(I looked him up he's the old plane at Burton's home):

He misses the battle and hates feeling stagnant and useless. So he likes to try and keep sharp with training. He likes having someone set up a target practice for him so he can keep working on his aim.

He gets tired quickly, and like to take rests and naps. But he likes being kept company, either so he can talk or be talked to. He doesn't like being left alone, because he doesn't like being considered old.

If you keep him company and talk to him like you would any other bot he greatly appreciates it.

Avians (Planes Parody Casting)

Tsubasa Yuunagi is a small-town bird who dreams of one day competing as a high-flying avian racer. However, poor Tsubasa has two strikes against him: He's not built for racing, and he's terribly afraid of heights. To achieve his dream, Tsubasa turns to naval aviator Mighty Eagle. Mighty Eagle helps Tsubasa qualify to take on Dark Raven, the race circuit's defending champion. Tsubasa’s courage faces the ultimate test, as he takes aim at heights he never dreamed were possible.

Jessica Biel’s Pooch Is A Gift From Above!

When Jessica Biel came home to find her bulldog, East, with a mouthful of pink leather and ribbons, she was so mad she had to laugh. “I had left him home alone for an hour and he got into my closet, went into my ballet bag and took out my new point shoes. I caught him with a pink ribbon dangling out of his mouth. He looked up at me with his big underbite, as if to say ‘Hmm?’ – with such a dopey looking face.” East, an English and American bulldog mix was adopted by Biel’s beau, Chris when the two were just friends, but soonafter they became a couple – no – an inseperable threesome. East is still brimming with puppy-ness – he’s very excitable – and a bit clutzy. “He’s such a goon,” says Jessica affectionately, “he literally runs just as fast as he can and he’ll run into things!” She admits that East is a lousy judge of character, because he loves everybody. “If you are going to pet him, he’ll fall in love with you – even if you are robbing the place!”

East was named by Biel as a tribute to the East Coast where Chris, a Massachusetts native, grew up. The dog, though, seems to have fully embraced the California lifestyle. At home, his favorite resting place is a dog bed made by Primative Pet, adorned with surfboards, although, Biel admits, “he sneaks up on my bed in the morning.”

Biel is best known for her role as Mary Camden on WB’s Seventh Heaven, a show revolving around the life of a Reverend and his ever-growing Rockwell-esque family. The show, touted for its strong values and life lessons, often featured the family’s dog, Happy Camden. East and Happy did occasionally meet, as Jessica would bring her bulldog to the set all the time, but she reports, “Happy is a little skittish and East always wants to jump and play around. I think she was a little scared of him.”

There is nothing to fear in this gregarious dog, unless you are a flower. Yes, flora ranks as one of East’s favorite treats. “He’ll rip them out of the ground and eat them and continue to walk down the street,” she laughs. So much for having a garden!

According to Jessica, East has traveled many times by plane, but it is not so comfortable for such a big dog. Biel says, “It’s very difficult to fly an animal his size – any longer than to Boston and the sedatives wear off and he’s hungry and he has to go to the bathroom. I try not to fly with him so much.” Car travel is more East’s speed, and Jessica has driven him across the country, opting not to fly. “He’s great in the car. He sticks his head out the window and his big floppy lips flap in the wind. It’s so cute.” When he cannot accompany the actress or her boyfriend on a trip, East stays at the Calgrove Kennels, a boarding facility that Jessica raves about – describing the inside-outside facility with grassy areas and plethora of toys East can play with. According to Jessica, it’s the next-best-thing to having East come along with them.

Jessica Biel, best known as the preacher’s daughter Mary Camden on Seventh Heaven, thinks her bulldog, East, is a gift from above!

Jessica says she worries about some of the health issues typical to East’s breed – bulldogs are notorious for having problems with their faces due to the wrinkes. “He has some eye problems due in part to bad allergies. On top of that, his lower eyelashes curl in and scratch his cornea. He’s already had surgery on his right eye but it didn’t work. He is due to have a second surgery soon. It’s a serious situation, but we have a very good eye doctor for East.” More than the surgery, it’s the recovery process Biel is concerned about. “He will want to scratch and rub his eye so he will have to wear a contact lens as an extra layer of protection as well as a cone on his head to keep him from getting to his eye. It’s is really up to us to make sure he stays sedated for the week, contacts in, cone on, no scratching and no rubbing.”

Jessica loves East and understands what is involved when caring for an animal. “It’s such a large responsibility. I don’t think anyone realizes how much of a responsibility an animal is until they get one. You can’t go out all night long. You can’t spend the night at someone’s house without making sure someone’s watching him. It has really changed my life a lot, but I don’t think I could live without him!”

Jessica has had animals growing up, and looks forward to seeing her two family pets Freckles and Kit Kat whenever she goes home. “Freckles is this adorable Cocker spaniel who I have had since I was ten years old. He’s this nice little old guy who follows my mom around no matter where she goes. I’ve had Kit Kat forever. She’s been alive since I was six years old – we rescued her from an animal shelter. She’s a little skittish because she was abused as a kitten.”

Biel also has a cat named Blue who she adopted from a woman in Santa Monica who was finding homes for abused animals. “I saw this white cat with blue eyes and called my dad and said, ‘we have to save this animal.’ I took him home and now he lives with my family.” East did get an opportunity to meet his extended family, but Biel says, “My cats didn’t know what to think of him. Freckles liked him but he’s a little bit old and East gets so excited, Freckles was like ‘alright puppy, chill out a little bit’” East did get to expend his energy hiking in the Colorado mountains near Biel’s family home.

Since leaving Seventh Heaven, she has explored very different roles – an indulgent vixon in Brett Easton Ellis’s Rules of Attraction, and most recently, as Erin Hardesty in the remake of horror classic, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. She’s also the face of Loreal, changing her hair color for the roles. She says [changing my hair color] does not affect me as a person, but it does affect my wardrobe.”

Blonde or bruenette, Biel is always concerned with saving animals and giving her own pets the best care they can get. She is involved with Fund For Animals, which Biel says, “promotes vegetarian and vegan diets and calls for the end of hunting – especially hunting for furs. I don’t agree with people wearing furs.” Jessica has also found a new charity, Noah’s Wish, that has sparked her interest. She says, “you can be trained as a volunteer to save a dog, cat – any animal – in a disaster. You can also volunteer to foster an animal, so if a family has a dog and they had a flood or their home was destroyed by hurricane and they feel like they have to get rid of the animal because they can’t afford it or their living situation is not regular, you can take it in. I would love to do that.” Jessica says determinedly, “That’s what I’m going to work on next.”
