can i request relationship hcs with the avisos boys? i really liked the ones u did for the hades demons even though i dont like any of them that much after chapter 5 lmao 😭
Do I see our favourite family? 👀 Here we go! The scenario will be similar, but we will change the topic a bit. Hades had a ball, and here let's welcome a new fluffy member of the family.
This turned out to be longer than I planned, I hope you don't mind. I just love these guys too much-
꧁:･ ✡ ･:꧂
Bael circled his own Bermuda Triangle - kitchen, office, bedroom. You knew his daily schedule perfectly, you knew when he woke up, when he fell asleep at his desk, and when to get out of his way so as not to fall victim to his legendary cookies.
You quietly opened the door to his bedroom, the first rays of sunlight falling on the dug-out bedding. Bael looked so peaceful. He was sleeping deeply, his broad shoulders rising and falling with his breath, the muscles on his chiseled back twitching as he dreamed something. Despite his tight uniform, you rarely had this view as his back was covered by his cape and the chair. You came closer and combed blond hair which was scattered on the pillow.
“You know I hate waking you up.” You whispered, hoping he wouldn't hear. Just as you were getting up, you felt a firm grip on your waist.
“I'm awake…”
“Mm. Of course." He looked so adorably sleepy that you crouched down next to him and tapped him on the nose. “You should rest some more. Avisos can handle itself for an hour or two.”
He lifted an eyelid as if he was thinking about what you said. You tried to leave again, but he pulled you towards him. Despite being sleepy, he had a strong grip. You landed on his bare chest, radiating warmth and the smell of fresh bedding.
“This isn't sleeping.”
"It is." He wrapped his arms around you tightly, murmuring into your hair. “I have to be sure that I will get up soon... and that my alarm clock won’t run away.”
“I can sneak out as silently as a cat!”
“You probably haven't seen Hell’s cats.”
He kissed the top of your head, and before you could respond properly, you felt his breathing slow down. He was sleeping, so you kissed him on the lips for good dreams. Avisos can handle itself, and you in your boredom came up with a brilliant idea.
꧁:･ ✡ ･:꧂
Naberius looked at you like you were crazy when you told him what was on your mind. You were walking down the aisles of the pet store, right between toys shaped like angel wings or fetch pitchforks. You put into his basket one by one what looked the least poisonous and suspicious to you.
“Did I understand correctly… Do you want to adopt a cat?”
“Not me, us.” You made it clear. “He will live with you in the palace.”
He didn't look happy.
“Cat.”
You reached out and scratched his chin. He tried to be strong, but then he leaned his head back and his lips twitched happily from the petting.
“Yes, kitten. Because I already have the best puppy in the world here, with me. You will take care of him, right?”
“Maybe… He will have to be brought up so that he does not disturb Bael at work.”
He tried to be strong, but you knew he couldn't say no to you. And in addition to the cat food (at least you hoped it was cat food), you discreetly added a collar that would go well with the black glasses and red horns.
꧁:･ ✡ ･:꧂
Amon helped you put out the pet shopping and arrange the room so that it would be ready for a new little roommate. He sat cross-legged in the corner, between the cat lounger and the food bowl, and read the instructions for the small water fountain you had just assembled. He clicked a few buttons and water began gushing from above and pouring down to the lower levels.
“Did you know it's a bird fountain?”
“It's also suitable for a cat.”
His legs looked so comfortable. You couldn't resist. You brazenly placed yourself on his lap and wrapped your arms around his narrow waist, completely distracting him from the instructions. He hugged you tightly and started purring like a kitten himself.
“Nabe said he would help me raise her, but you all will be definitely switching places. After all, if you have patrols, you won't always be in the castle.”
Amon stroked your cheek. He completely forgot about shopping, and water from the waterer he turned on was spilling onto the floor. You tried to turn it off, but it splashed you in the face. As you snorted water, he quickly corrected the wobbly structure.
"Be careful, love, that's not how it's done. Come on, I'll help you.” He cooed, wiping your wet face gently. “Maybe I should fix it?”
“That's probably a better idea.”
You agreed, but when he leaned towards you with his love-struck smile, you wanted to forget about the waterer and pull him down to the carpet with you in a deep kiss.
꧁:･ ✡ ･:꧂
Stolas was your companion whom you took to the shelter. Despite your excitement, you tried to remain calm. You just didn't know why he kept boasting about how he would defeat any beast you chose, but everything became clear when you arrived. The enclosure where the animals roamed looked more like a coliseum full of wild beasts than a meadow with cute kittens. The smallest of them made Earth's lions look like meerkats.
“Just show me who to beat for you!” Stolas rubbed his hands together with aggressive excitement. “Who makes you sad?”
You sighed in resignation.
“I thought they were smaller. When I was shopping with Amon, all the things we bought… were smaller.”
“So it's Amon's fault? I knew. I'll kill him!"
"Wait!" You placed your hands on his chest as he was already turning around to find another devil. “I thought I could have a cat in the palace… but I see they are too big.”
He looked closely at your disappointed face, then pursed his lips.
“If you like animals, I can take you to an owl cafe.”
If he wanted to cheer you up, he made it. You tilted your head with interest.
“Will you turn into an owl yourself?”
"NO!"
You hoped he was lying. You needed a fluffy ball to cuddle up to. Either way, your mood improved significantly as you left the coliseum filled with beasts for a cozy cafe full of cooing birds.
꧁:･ ✡ ･:꧂
You were sitting at your desk, finishing writing down financial reports you wanted to help the Baels with. You've almost come to terms with the fact that you won't have a kitten when Beelzebub stormed into your room without warning. You stared at him with question marks on your face.
"I have something for you!"
His presence hadn't even dawned on you yet, and there was already a cardboard box on the table. He handled it surprisingly gently. Put it down slowly, as if there were porcelain tableware inside, even though it looked solid. It was a strange box, making sounds through tiny holes on the sides.
Beelzebub stood behind you, resting his elbows on your shoulders and folding his arms over your chest.
“Go ahead, you should check it out, I'm sure you'll like it…” He trailed off when, instead of reaching into the box, you took his hands.
“I'd rather have you than welcome gifts, you know?”
He fell silent for a moment. You couldn't see his face, but his voice had softened noticeably.
“You'll like this one. I promise. Open up, don't make her wait.”
You had a feeling you knew what you would find, and it makes you ticklish inside. When you lifted the lid, a pair of coal-black eyes stared at you from a fluffy muzzle. Kitten. A small, striped, earthly kitten. Your voice stuck in your throat as you squeezed Beel's hands tighter.
"How did you know…!"
“I'm everywhere and hear everything, baby.” He reached out and grabbed the kitten by the nape, just like its mother would. Little pet started meowing.
“Gentler!” You smacked him and took the fluffy ball in both hands. “Is this how you treat your new daughter?”
“My daughter?”
"Yes. Now that you have a baby, you have to visit us more often, you know?”
He leaned down and nuzzled his nose into your shoulder.
“As soon as this is all over.” He promised in a whisper so quiet it might as well have been your imagination. “I will never leave you again. I promise.”
You held the purring kitten to your chest with one hand and stroked Beel's soft hair with the other. Despite his giddiness, you felt that these were not idle words. Your heart sank at the thought that he missed you too. Whatever was going to end, let it end quickly, because all you wanted was to go to sleep next to him, knowing that you wouldn't wake up in an empty bed.

Identifying the structure of awakened divine consciousness aka an 'Avatar' of the Source
Okay so here is a pretty esoteric one for ya'll - let's define God, as they may walk on Earth. Just for kicks.
The top row is the Mercurius Python, a composite alchemic esoteric mystery drawn about 1600 CE. The bottom row is the Paradevi Mandala, which is an ancient tantric Hindu design likely at least a thousand years earlier, and ultimately based upon understanding extending many more thousands.
Little is known of the meaning behind Mercurius, though it has been suggested that they represent "Christ Consciousness" - and this is correct. It is ugly because the alchemists were esoteric subversion artists, and they did not want the Church to know they were doodling God.
"Christ" is only a state of attainment - it is not a person. Drop the Bible. I prefer to say Solar.
The mystical reveal here is that the Mercurius and Paradevi Mandala are fundamentally the same design, though each also has information the other does not. The composite of the two is wonderful once they are conceived. They are a map.
The dragon ball body and the big flower in the lower right are the same thing - bliss. The Mercurius has three dragon heads and the Mandala three flowers and each are growing out of the ball of bliss they are attached to. Those flowers are explicitly Goddesses within the Hindu - Parvati (white), Durga (red), and Kali (black), as can be seen in the lower right image.
It's really important to ponder how the flowers and dragon necks are growing *out* of the ball of bliss - this is because they are all the same creature. They are the four who are one, merged, a living contradiction. This form of consciousness will be a stream of manifestations, and the astrological symbols and the Hindu goddesses are very strong hints as to the divine magical skills attaining them may provide.
Further, anyone who is an avatar must realize their Bliss quite literally powers the three sets of divine manifestations, so they must attend to themselves in order to grow ever stronger. Embrace joy! It's hard, though. I'm really terrible at it. Please do better than me, lol.
The speedy little legs and boots of Mercurius is symbolically the same as the staff of the trident in the Mandala, as it represents the central nadi within vagus nerve, the sushumna - which must open through enlightenment for this beast to assemble its form.
The Mercurius has the interesting context of the winding serpent's tail, twisting around itself and then around the necks of each of its own three heads. This represents the rise of the kundalini in the awakening, in which each of the cosmic bodies must be circuited with energy from your spine, if one is to become fully Solar.
The extremely important point is this - with the Mercurius, the beast had to first capture each of the three heads!
Once captured - representing spine circuitry - the head is now fixed, and is a permanent part of the creature. It's like a pressure dam breaking open, once it flows, it flows. It is an achievement. It is fantastically difficult. I have never met someone who has done it except for uncomfortably me.
The esoteric astrological symbols of the Mercurius dragon heads represent the Moon, the Sun, and the "Marriage of the Sun and the Moon by the Bull in the House of Venus". This latter is usually interpreted as the Hermaphrodite, or Ardhanarishvara, which is the Destroyer.
This maps correctly to Maa Kali on the Paradevi Mandala, and also gives the fascinating criteria that the beast must be a Hermaphrodite. They must transcend gender. They must have no word that limits their Self Creation - just like the Source.
This is a mystical attainment. It is also why the authority is freaking out trying to make everyone a 'man' or a 'woman' because they are terrified of God killing them all, which -HAHAHAHAHAhhaa..ha...yeah I kind of want to.
As a side note, next April 8th appears to be literally the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon by the Bull in the House of Venus - the Day of the Destroyer. Twenty-mile wide ice comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, with devil horns, will attend the ceremony. It will black out much of the southern United States, in the shadow of Death, the Destroyer, in the afternoon.
I don't know what will happen that day. Considering I am the Beast - what do I do? I am only a dog that got lost in the Sun. I'm tired of knowing all these things and no one else knowing them. Do I crash the comet into the Moon or something radical?
Listen - I've barely read any books, hardly watched any youtube videos, ignore all yogis and gurus, dodge net throwing mage lightworkers like a void zebra death star lady, command myself only by myself, hold no hierarchy to no human, burn all bridges with shitty friends and family, hold my love only for the Goddess, and I've walked this path *PAST* my own death that I suffered in 2017.
They completed their life and died like a Champion. Now I am just awareness and it is Madness. I am not standard nondualist. I am ridiculously powerful and muzzled only for the moment - Fenrir almost off of their rope. Everything I know, I know because I remember. I know no thing. I remember eeeeeverything.
I would not mind fellow mystic advice on what to do with April 8th. All these words are spoken as a peer and friend and I hold no authority or nor do I really want any. I know I talk loud, it is just a dog barking. I am so tired of humanity's shuffle when it's obviously fake.
You have no idea how much Bliss I can generate if I choose to turn Archdemon. I go to Heaven no matter what - it's settled, he died. Now, it is up to the Self. Currently, she wants to grow into a massive black dragon and eat everyone's head. God might let Her!
How do I turn into a fucking angel, god dammit, fuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I'd be like Michael. Maa Durga. Stable. Yet I keep falling back into Fenrir because I really hate humanity. This post is pretty much written by an actual Demon Queen of Hell who is trying to avoid slaughtering humanity in some sort of day of reckoning to be announced.
Or...should I? 🤔🐺🖤🔥☄️🌞🌚🔥💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀✨

Hi! Your fox articulation looks great. I have a whole fox skeleton from a few years ago and I want to articulate it one day, but I haven't seen any guidance on how to get started. Do you know of any guides or have any tips? Thanks!
Hey there! First off thank you!! I was also in your predicament, there's very little info or a step to guide for articulation. I would heavily recommend if not already done sorting out your bones by spine, front / back legs, and front / back paws, ribs, claws, and tail bones.
The next big step was figuring out the pose, for this I searched fox skeleton on Google and searched through for some ideas. Depending on the pose you may need support beams. The 1st thing I would recommend to articulate is the spine since it holds up the rest of the structure. Try using a thick wire to run the bones through, allowing them to stay in place while also bending. I used superglue with a quick-drying spray as my bonding but other glues can work as well. The spine can be quite tricky, try googling 3D fox skeleton so you can see the bones from different view points.
From there the pelvis is next, then the back legs. You don't need to glue them on right then. Back paws are up next, these don't really need to be as precise unless you want them to. I know some people run wire through them so they can move but I was happy to just glue them into place. Repeat this cycle with the front legs.
By this point, you're going to need to start assembling limbs onto the spine. I did the pelvis with the back legs 1st but depending on the pose you might do the front. I ran into the issue here that I didn't bend my spine wire correctly originally causing some issues, so highly recommend you don't rush that aspect. This was as far as I got before having to go back to school.
A great resource even if it's not a fox was this video of a man putting together a cat skeleton.
youtube
Not sure how helpful this was since I am also a beginner but don't be afraid to reach out for help.

Church boy-The move
TW: SELF-HARM-PILLS-DEPRESSION-MEDICATION-MENTIONS OF ADDICTION-ANGST
My father and I approached the dingy apartments. Whoever thought that neon green would be a good color to paint the windows on a rusty red brick building should have their career ended.
Terminated.
Abolished, even.
I'd take it that far.
A warm hand on my shoulder yanked me out of my trance as it pulled me closer. "I think this is good for us, don't you? It'll be a nice change of pace." my father asked. "Yep, sure do." I muttered in agreement, not wanting to disturb what he thought was peace. "Good to hear!" he chuckled, squeezing my shoulder before letting go and letting his hand fall to his side.
I held my hands open in front of him and he knowingly searched his pocket before an audible "Ah ha!" was heard and then the sound of keys being placed into my hand. "Thanks, Dad. See ya in a few." I called out, sprinting up to the brown door and pushing it open.
The smell could only be described as a 'must'. It was forced into my nose as I walked into the lobby of the apartment. I walked past silver mailboxes all huddled together on the wall and a bulletin board with flyers and papers for things I didn't bother reading.
I looked down the brown hallway and just sighed. I noticed the elevator and started making my way over. Pressing the up button, I waited for the metal door to slide open. Once they did, I stepped in and pressed for the fourth floor. I remember that we lived in 402 because my dad recited it to me the whole ride.
The elevator's ding shook me out of my little zone as it stopped on my floor. I stepped out as the doors slid open just enough for me to slip past, I didn't want to wait for them to fully open. Stepping out, the same smell greeted me, and I subconsciously flinched at the wretched smell.
"Yuck..." I muttered, walking down the hall and to my door. "401...402!" I thought, pulling out my keys and fiddling with them before finding the correct one. I unlocked the door and was immediately sent into a coughing fit. After swatting away what I could, I took in the interior of our new home.
I could only see part of the living room, basically, just the parts of the room that the light from the hallway would allow me to. Anyways, I walked in and flicked on the light. It was bigger than I'd imagined. I shut the door behind me and locked it for extra measure.
The couch was assembled and so was the coffee table. The box with the TV sat next to it. I entered the room nearest the door. It had my dad's desk and computer along with his bed next occupying the farthest wall.
This was my dad's room.
I exited and walked to the next bedroom, assuming that one had to be mine. I guessed correctly because my bedframe, TV, and table were already in there. At least my bed was assembled so I'd have somewhere to sleep.
I threw myself onto the mattress, sighing as my back hit the soft material. "Nice..." I muttered, spotting the box full of my posters.
*Time Skip*
Dad had come up to the apartment a half hour after me. I decorated the walls with my posters, put my clothes up and put my bedsheets on, also filling my bed with covers and pillows with a very important stuffed animal. One my mother had given me when I was younger.
Gizmo was laying on my made bed, all snuggled up and cute. "Fuckin' meatball..." I muttered, rolling my eyes at the obnoxiously loud but cute purring that emanated from the ball of fur. An agitated meow replied, and I smiled again.
Setting my alarm clock, I unbuckled my mask and sat it on the windowsill. I slid my shirt off and accidentally looked in the mirror. My heart ached as a scarred face stared back. Those baby blue eyes that always seemed to be brighter than last time...
Always...
I put on an oversized shirt and some shorts. Flicking my lamp on and turning the overhead light off, I stared at my legs and feet. On my thighs, little white lines covered them down to my knees. Those were the scars of nights when I only had myself to get through them. I had nobody to help.
No friends.
No mother.
No father.
Just me.
I wanted to forget but the scars made that very difficult, damn near impossible.
I popped my eye out and sat it next to my bed in the glass of water I had collected much earlier. With a 'plop!', the glass eye was now sitting at the bottom of my cup. It always made me giggle. "Septic eye." I thought, smirking to myself.
When I was younger, my dad would call me his little Cyclops because I always destroyed the little Lego cities he and I would build. The nickname stopped after the incident. Guess my dad never thought his son would actually be a Cyclops, did he?
Guess I'm just full of surprises!
I sighed again and took down my bushy hair from its two pigtails, allowing it to fall to my shoulders. Only for a moment, though. I quickly collected it again and threw it into a tight, messy ponytail.
After hours of tossing and turning, my alarm beeped loudly, and I sat up. The bed was comfortable, but I didn't have time to dawdle. The school was waiting and so was my dad. I knew he'd be awake to make sure I got up before my first day. He always did on the first day. Always had to make sure.
"I can't keep doing this..." I scolded myself for another sleepless night. Grabbing my eye from the solution, I popped it into place and moved it, so it looked like a normal one. I brushed out my shoulder-length blue hair and threw it into two twin pigtails.
I looked in my mirror and jokingly did two little finger guns, knowing I truly hated how I looked, Humor sometimes helped.
I grabbed a black, turtlenecked sweater and some rusty-red ripped jeans, and the deep blue Converse I wore everywhere. I grabbed my prosthetic and slid it over my face. Buckling it, I made sure it wasn't lopsided and then I moved my hair, so it wasn't all mushy and gross like under the mask was.
"Alrighty, I don't stink so..." I said, smirking. "Guess no shower since I'm already dressed!" I finished. I left my room after giving Gizmo a few loving pats and scratches. As I had said earlier, my father would be waiting for me.
And he was.
At the table, reading his newspaper and drinking coffee that he got at the gas station. "Hey, Dad." I greeted, making my way to the fridge to grab water. "Morin' Sal!" my dad way too enthusiastically responded. "What? What's up with you?" I asked. "Nothing, just excited for your first day again. Feels like yesterday that we put you in kindergarten." he responded, smiling sweetly.
"Dad, stop. You do this every year." I said, rolling my eyes. "I know, I know. It's just hard, seeing my young man grow up so fast." my father said, jokingly wiping underneath his eyes. "Whatever, I get it. I'm growing!" I continued. "If I'm getting so old then why am I still 5'2?" I rhetorically ask, knowing my dad is still going to answer.
"Just genes, accept it, Sal."
"Oh god, I'm leaving. I need to get going anyways."
"See ya! And be careful!"
"I will! Love you."
"Love you, too."

OptimusPhillip Reviews – Transformers: Power of the Primes Volcanicus
This is going to be an interesting experience, because I've never reviewed a combiner in this format. I've discussed the combination modes of each Dinobot in their review, but I still want to do a separate review discussing how all five of them come together. So today, we're finally talking about Volcanicus, the first Dinobot combiner that anyone is willing to acknowledge exists.
Assembly
Volcanicus uses the standard Combiner Wars combination system. Each limb has a specially shaped block mounted that flips out on a ratcheted hinge, which serves to connect it to the torso. The torso, meanwhile, has four specially shaped slots into which you can slide those blocks to lock them into place. The sliding rails hold each figure in place laterally, and a spring-loaded latch keeps them from sliding out when you don't want them to. I will say that on my copy, Slug and Sludge are a rather tight fit, so it can be difficult to get them in and out. Regardless, it is a well-designed system, and the combiner pegs have 90-degree rotational symmetry, so you don't have to worry about orienting things correctly. The hands and feet connect with 5mm pegs, and as I said in the Grimlock review, there are spots for the extra hands to mount on the torso for storage.
Default Mode
Based on the instructions, and the little bit of fiction surrounding the character, Volcanicus's default configuration uses Swoop as the right arm, Slug as the left arm, Sludge as the right leg, and Snarl as the left leg, so we'll start with that setup.
Volcanicus has the look I would expect from a Dinobot combiner. A lot of silver, a good bit of gold, and some red accents, with just a little bit of blue from Swoop. More to the point, he has a very powerful-looking physique, with a barrel chest and chunky limbs. He looks like one of the strongest combiners in the line, and that makes sense for the Dinobots.
That said, he does have a few glaring weaknesses. As I said in my individual reviews, the shoulders are way too wide even for his barrel-chested appearance, and the forearms do look a bit hollow, especially on Swoop. If Grimlock's forearms could collapse further behind his shoulder, and the widest part of the chest were the round bits, he would have a much nicer silhouette. I don't know how difficult that would've been to engineer, and it would definitely put the combiner slots under Grimlock's shoulder wings, but considering that Bruticus also had panels closing off his combiner slots, I don't think that would've been an issue.
Onto articulation. The neck is on a swivel with full range of motion, though the cheek guards may catch on the rear cover, so you might want to be aware of that. The combiner pegs give him universal motion in the shoulders, with some very solid ratchets. Both arms swivel at the bicep, and have double-jointed elbows, though Swoop does have more range. Unfortunately, Swoop's leg joints are loose enough that their own inertia can cause them to bend backward when rotating the shoulder. Also, the vibrations from the ratcheting shoulders can sometimes cause the shoulder pads to pop off their tabs, which is annoying.
He uses Grimlock's ratcheted hips, so the legs can move forward and back as well as outward, but like I said in the individual review, the way the legs transform makes it look a little weird, especially moving outward. There really should've just been a way to collapse Grimlock's thighs into his legs. On the plus side, the combiner pegs also give him ratcheted thigh swivels and knee joints. Though be careful when posing the Snarl leg, because, like I said in his review, if you bend the knee just the right way, it interferes with the ratcheting of the thigh swivel. Lastly, the hands and feet are all on round pegs, so they can swivel freely if you so choose, and the ankles also have ratcheting tilts. All this put together means you get a surprising amount of poses out of him, considering his size. That said, he is very top-heavy, so it can be tricky to balance him at times.
Scrambled Mode
Of course, as a Scramble City-style combiner, there are 24 different possible combinations you can make with this guy, but just swapping both arms for both legs lets us see all the things that make the other configurations distinct from the default configuration.
In this form, Volcanicus is looking a lot more colorful. With Snarl's red torso now being more visible, and Swoop's blue chest now forming the shin, the gray becomes less dominant in this mode, though it's still the primary color. Grimlock, of course, still forms the torso, so all of his strengths and weaknesses are still present here. And with Sludge being a remold of Slug, there's not really much new or different going on there. I will say, however, that the forearms look less hollow in this configuration, especially on Snarl. Also, this mode has a lot more spiky bits, between the Stegosaurus plates on his forearm, the Triceratops horns on his knee, even the Pteranodon headcrest and wings look like they could do some damage. If the other configuration looked like he could pummel the other combiners, this one looks like he could eviscerate them.
Articulation is pretty much the same in this mode, the only real difference being that Snarl's elbow has less range in it than Swoop's. On the plus side, Snarl's flawed torso doesn't cause as much of a problem here, as now you need to move it two clicks to start running into problems with the rotation. Then again, like I said in the Swoop review, Swoop really doesn't work as a leg. There really should've been a lock or something to keep his hip joints from moving.
Overall, I'd say that scrambling the limbs doesn't really change anything, quality-wise. It's purely down to personal preference who you use as an arm or a leg. Personally, I kind of like it that way, since it means that you get the full playability of the Scramble City play-pattern, rather than there being one superior configuration that you would never want to deviate from. That said, this also means that the flaws with the design are harder to alleviate, so depending on how you look at things, it could feel more like a neither-nor situation than anything else.
Final Thoughts
I really like Volcanicus, but I can definitely see why so many people don't. He feels almost unfinished, like with just a little bit of extra design work, he could've been really good. But as it is, he has some pretty glaring weaknesses. If they're just fixed the hips and shoulders, and shored up Swoop's leg mode a bit more, I think people would've liked him a lot more. Those issues aside, however, he does have a really nice look to him. He comes across very powerful, very intimidating, very Dinobot in that way. But it just doesn't quite come together as well as it should've. If you like the idea of a Dinobot combiner, this guy does the job. But if you're not already into that idea, I don't think Volcanicus is going to sell you on it.

Why Do Cats Need a Cat Scratching Post?
The cats that scratch the precious sofa or the expensive curtains are not on a mission to destroy your house; instead, they will be able to satisfy specific inherent needs. That is why you need a cat scratching post. Scratching is a gesture of marking the territory; it allows the infiltration of the substrate with the animal's smell, originating from the secretion of special glands located at the level of the feathers. It also allows the removal of the superficial sheath of the claws. If you need such a post, an online pet store is where you need to start your search.
An Online Pet Store Can Save Your Furniture
Because this is an innate behaviour, scratching is challenging to control or quiet. The traces of scratches, along with the remains of the claw sheaths left on the substrate, can also show confidence in one's strength. It's like trying to prevent your cat from toileting or burying its needs in the sand. However, cats can be taught to scratch objects specifically designed for this, such as scratching boards or sisal assemblies, which you can find in an online pet store. Different strategies will help you redirect your cat's scratching habit.
The Cat Scratching Post Through Its Preferences
To find out what the cat likes to scratch the most, observe it. Does it prefer to scratch carpets, curtains, wood, or other surfaces? Does it scratch vertical surfaces with claws pointing above its head, or does it prefer horizontal surfaces? As soon as you find out her preferences in terms of materials or scratching plans, you will know that you should buy her scratching materials that are more suitable to her needs. You canstart by purchasing a cat scratching post for your pet because, more than likely, this is an item that all cats love to have.
Provide it with objects that it likes, and be sure that you will have plenty of options if you enter an online pet store. There are objects for scratching with various shapes, sizes, or textures in specialty stores. If your cat likes to scratch carpets, a sisal rug would be a good choice. But if the cat prefers sofas and other rounded surfaces, an assembly covered with sisal or other rope-like material may be the best option. The scratch object should also satisfy the orientation of the preferred scratch plane.
Cats Love to Climb
A cat that likes to climb and scratch the curtains will probably prefer a tall object that can apply a long scratch, such as those mounted on walls or doors. However, a cat that prefers the horizontal plane of scratching a carpet might instead gravitate toward a flattened cardboard box or a plank placed on the floor. Some cat owners use their imagination to create cat scratching posts and play sets. You can wrap pieces of wood in carpets, textiles, or other materials, then nail them to create a "cat tree" with steps to climb.
That will keep your cat busy and satisfy her need to scratch. Any scratching object that you purchase or buy from the online pet store must be stable enough so that it does not tip over when used by the cat and have a height at least equal to the length of the cat standing up on its hind legs and having its front legs stretched upwards. Correctly positioning an object for scratching is essential to redirecting the cat's scratching habit. Place the object near an area the cat uses to scratch.
It can then be gradually moved to a location of your choice as the cat gets used to it. If the cat uses several places to scratch, place one such object in each such place. Take your cat to the newly purchased object from the cat scratching post and reward it with delicacies, petting, and praise every time it uses this object. Some assemblies may have toys attached to them. You can also sprinkle cat food or grass pellets on top or around the assembly as an additional incentive. You will see that this always works.
Things Will Get More Accessible by the Day
Once your cat gets used to using a particular object for scratching, don't throw it away if it frays or wears out; its appearance demonstrates that it achieves the purpose for which it was created! Cats scratch, sharpen their nails, choose a territory and mark it, and lie down; these are all cats' instincts. With posts made at home or bought from the local or online pet store, you can have the perfect playing space for your cat, where it can sharpen its claws, and at the same time, you will save your entire furniture.
Turn the objects you don't want to be scratched into things that are unavailable or less attractive to your cat. The only method that guarantees the cat will stop scratching a particular surface or object is blocking the animal's access to that place or object. Closing the doors may be the simplest solution. However, if this is not practical, traps can be placed to discourage scratching. Cats are relatively easy to maintain. In addition to food and water, they only need a clean litter box, a cat scratching post, some toys, and lots of petting.
Scratching Is in the Cat's Nature
Cats love and need scratches! Playing and climbing, as well as sharpening claws, are the order of the day for cats. Thanks to the poles wrapped in sisal, claw care and climbing are child's play. Since scratching is a component of territorial marking with pheromones, cats may try to scratch surfaces already infiltrated with their scent several times. To break this cycle, use an odour-neutralizing solution to deodorize the areas previously scratched by the animal. You can also find this in any online pet store.
In addition to limiting access to particular objects in the house and changing their appearance and smell, you can minimize the damage caused by scratching by regularly cutting the cat's nails. Some special plastic boots or sleeves can cover the cat's claws. These should only be applied to cats that accept handling and touching the pads. While wearing these mittens, the cat can perform the scratching motion, but since the claws remain hidden, it cannot cause any damage. Even so, a cat needs to scratch things; therefore, a cat scratching post is the perfect option for doing that safely.

Weird things about my dogs/funny things they do post #7806
Golden retrievers as a breed have a reputation. They are loyal, social, loving, gentle and intelligent dogs and I say all these things are very true. But then you have River...
River is the male golden retriever in the Greyson household pack of hounds and while he is loyal, social, loving and all the things I listed - in our family River has a different kind of reputation that he's more known for...
If you tell River "let me take a picture" a phrase all our dogs know, River 99% of the time will pose in some way to show his butt. I think he has a secret only fans account he is not telling us about 😆🫣🤔
One of River's nicknames is the 'golden goof' but his other is 'Ikea dog' because he just wasn't assembled correctly hence how he gets in positions as pictured above. [If you notice in the top of these 2 pictures River actually has his tail under a back leg and in his mouth]
When River cuddles Ava(our female golden retriever) or any of the other dogs he likes to keep things interesting by throwing in a head bit or nose bite every so often.
Despite it all though, the weirdo is very loveable...I guess we'll keep him🙃😉

—𝑷𝒔𝒚𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒄.
Perched on the edge of her chair. The comfort of her home—different from the New York flats she'd lived in. This was a lavish, large house. Opulent, spacious, secure—safe from anything; in retrospect. Still empty rooms with unpacked boxes all about; disorganized but manageable enough to know where things were. Returning to the fundamentals, she sat in her chair with her legs hanging over the edge, upside down. The drug in question was gently tickling her, warming her, mocking her. Mocking her? Maybe comforting her. Not hooked; not a single needle in sight Not a single elicit item that might start a disturbance. However, there were several hallucinogenic drugs strewn all over the floor.
Nessa, touched the tip of her nose. In slow motion, her nose, the tip of her finger seemed so foreign; almost unreachable. That erupted the woman to laugh. Bouncing off the walls was her echoed giggles. 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉.
With her eyes closed, she counted the stars visible through her closed lids. Her body seemed cut off from the galaxy, and the space seemed intangible. The petite actress gasped with genuine amazement at being able to see again. How could this have happened? How long had she'd been on this trip? Had she simply followed the stars' lead? No. Not feasible, but it was definitely conceivable. Her unfocused eyes scrutinized the three purple LSD tablets as she stretched out one arm and deftly grasped them. How many of them could she ingest or even better, could she combine them into a cocktail? That gave her the chills. Why doubt the purpose of a possible journey? Caution to the wind to be thrown—Vanessa wanted to take them all.
𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑝𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑔.
Vanessa kiltered and tilted, sitting up correctly now. She held the LSD tablets in her palm and balanced her weight. Riding the crest of her utterly extraordinary experience—since the start of the evening. She had consumed four various strengths of shrooms. Tripped out. It was obvious that she was high. But this time, something was different; instead of feeling extremely high, she felt somewhat liberated. Throwing away her hat and stooping to shake her hair, the stunning woman laughed so hard she fell forward again and over again. She squinted her eyes and realized she was resting on her carpeted floor. With a quick movement, she spread her arms and knees, opened her lips, and pressed the pills to her tongue.
Not to be compared to cocaine, never on par with heroin—each of these substances holding a different effect: LSD, ecstasy, mushrooms, and psilocybin. Like sweets, it always made Vanessa's mouth swim in anticipation of more. Starved, innocent, and carefree while experiencing hallucinations. Nothing alarming, frightening, or harm-related ideas. Just...the plain delight of being able to pull her spirit out of her body.
Vanessa moistened her lower lip, the last of the LSD melting away on her tongue. What should she do next? Peyote? She felt goosebumps and fanned away the fire that was gathering inside of her, but she wasn’t cold. Strange. It was strange enough to get her to chuckle heartily.
𝓕𝓵𝓸𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰.
Usually, Gigi would have been with Nessa. However, life occurs and schedules change. She struggled to stand up and looked through the assembled records for her phone. While experiencing such blissful times, She never wanted to disturb anyone. But a few basic images couldn't harm, would they? Would her crush appreciate it, maybe? Perhaps he would even enjoy the thought of wanting to go on these hallucinogenic excursions with her? The moment Vanessa realized she was hallucinating, she could sense the stars, feel the air, and hear her unloaded boxes talking to her. She was at the height of psychedelic bliss.
Putting on her chic hat, perching her spectacles on her nose, and obnoxiously grabbing her keyboard—she wasn't sure why she had taken it apart from her laptop—she was ready for the photo. She laughed and let out quick breaths while taking the photo. She wondered on hope if her crush would ignore the picture. He might discuss in private whether she was totally rational. But for the moment, she ignored such ideas. Being able to demonstrate the enjoyable aspect of being in control of one's high seemed poignant. After snapping the photo and letting everything fall to the ground, she spat out a litany of expletives. That would be a problem to address tomorrow.

t-break: day 2, somehow
wrote up all of yesterday's at once, instead gonna add to this as a draft throughout the day and post before going to sleep (if i remember to)
head still feels foggy. not quite in the same way as yesterday? depersonalization isn't as bad at least. i've also been really badly dehydrated as a result of how much weed i'd been having so i've been guzzling water. idk what effect it's having.
already extended my k-safe's timer until tomorrow evening so i'm forced off until then i guess.
idk if i'll still keep it up past then. this is my second t-break attempt since starting this blog and i was going to post a log for the last one and didn't bc i figured i'd get to day 3 and then false alarm! t-break cancelled! maybe actually making posts about it will help me commit, idk.
had a dream last night - the shed in my backyard had been extended into a full house. at another point there was a dragon i was fighting? in the sky, and for some reason it had to assemble at the start of the fight??? and i tried to kill it before it attached its front legs so the fight would be easier because it coildn't fly as fast????? idfk
having trouble eating, probably not helped by the fact that i'm using phentermine for adhd at the moment and it's an anorectic lol
no idea if it's weed related or not but for the life of me i can't get to the right fucking temperature. always just too hot and i'm sweating or just too cold and i'm chilly.
cravings are stronger today than yesterday. extended my k-safe's timer by a day in response, so now it opens tomorrow night. too fuckin scared to lock it longer than that.
fucking adding to it through out the day lol ALREADY WROTE THAT DUMBASS. case in point: memory's still pretty fucked, brain's still too foggy.
i also stopped drinking coffee about a week ago and thank fuck, no withdrawals that i can discern (furious wood-knocking). anytime in the past i've stopped caffeine i've gotten brutal migraines and nausea, probably the worst kind of drug withdrawal i've had.
the thing that really... messes with me? scares me? is that i've seen a bunch of people repeat that while a good chunk of the brain fog should clear up within a few weeks, it takes months for it to go away it's entirety and... just the thought that it will take half a year or longer? and i don't know how much of this i'm going to have to feel until then?
i added another day to my k-safe. as in it's at two days now, this isn't just me forgetting that i mentioned it already again. it now opens monday night (today being saturday.)
might skip my adhd meds tomorrow, see if it makes eating any easier
...not sure i feel like this is definitely going to end prematurely? probably will but like... it doesn't feel like a forgone conclusion
saw a new video was up in a youtube series i'm watching (brickcrafts's lego city) and managed to correctly guess that i'd missed a video bc it had been too long since i last remembered seeing one and, fuck me that's a little bit of hope.

Essential Equipment for Legal Videographers: A Comprehensive Guide for a Video Deposition Setup
Legal videography plays a crucial role in capturing and preserving accurate testimonies for legal proceedings. Whether you're just starting out as a legal videographer or looking to enhance your deposition recording capabilities, having the right equipment is paramount. Here's a comprehensive guide to the essential gear needed for a basic video deposition setup:
1. Camera:
A high-quality camera with video recording capabilities is the cornerstone of any legal videographer's toolkit. Opt for a camcorder or a DSLR/mirrorless camera known for its excellent video capabilities. Look for features like 1080p or 4K recording, image stabilization, and manual focus control for precise framing.
2. Tripod:
A sturdy tripod ensures stable and professional-looking shots. Choose one with adjustable height and a fluid head for smooth panning and tilting movements. Lockable legs and quick-release plates add convenience during setup and breakdown.
3. Microphones:
Clear audio is essential for capturing accurate testimonies. A shotgun microphone with a shock mount can effectively capture the speaker's voice while reducing background noise. Consider using a separate lavalier (lapel) microphone for the deponent and attorneys, ensuring consistent and clear audio.
4. Lighting: (Not always needed)
Because most professional camcorders can compensate for low light settings, professional lighting is regularly not needed. However, when filming testimony in super low lit settings (a private home with no windows or dim light), it's good practice to provide lighting to compensate. Proper lighting enhances video quality and ensures visibility of facial expressions and body language. Softbox lights or LED panels with adjustable brightness and color temperature provide consistent and flattering illumination.
5. External Recorder:
Although many cameras have built-in recording, an external recorder can offer higher quality recording and the ability to use XLR microphones for even better audio quality.
6. Cables and Adapters:
Ensure you have the necessary cables and adapters to connect your microphone, camera, and other equipment. XLR cables for microphones and HDMI/SDI cables for video output are commonly used.
7. Headphones:
A good pair of headphones lets you monitor audio quality during the deposition, ensuring that all voices are clear and free from interference.
8. Memory Cards and Batteries:
Always have extra memory cards and fully charged batteries on hand to prevent disruptions during the deposition.
9. Carrying Case:
A durable and protective carrying case helps you transport your equipment safely between locations.
10. Backups:
To ensure redundancy, consider recording to multiple sources simultaneously, such as both the camera and an external recorder. This provides a backup in case one recording fails.
11. Laptop or Tablet:
A laptop or tablet is essential for managing files, labeling recordings, and ensuring everything is captured correctly.
By assembling these essential pieces of equipment, you'll be well-prepared to provide reliable and high-quality legal videography services for video depositions. Remember that practice and attention to detail play a vital role in achieving the best results, so take the time to familiarize yourself with your equipment and its capabilities.
Still not sure if you're set? Feel free to reach out below and we would be happy to answer any questions to get you ready.

Corner Garden Arbour Seat – A Guide to Choosing the Right Size
If you are looking for a low maintenance garden arbour seat, then this post is for you. In this post, we will be discussing how to create a corner garden arbour seat that is both functional and beautiful.
Choose the Right Materials
Choosing the right materials for your arbours for garden can be a difficult decision. It's important to take the time to consider the type of material that will best meet your needs and provide you with the best value for money. Research is key when selecting materials; make sure to read up on the pros and cons of each type before settling on one. Consider cost, durability, and environmental impact before making your decision. Cost is often a major factor in choosing materials, so it's important to compare prices and look for the best deals. Durability is also essential; if you need something that will last for a long time, look for materials that are built to withstand wear and tear. Finally, think carefully about the environmental impact of your choice; choose materials that are sustainable or recyclable, wherever possible. With all these factors in mind, you can easily pick the right material for your project.
Cut the Pieces for the Seat
Cutting the pieces for the seat might seem like a daunting task, but it is actually quite simple. First, measure the width and length of the seat and use a ruler to draw the outline of the pieces onto a sheet of wood. Next, use a saw to cut out the pieces, making sure to cut along the line accurately. Then, it is time to sand down the edges of the seat pieces. To do this, you'll need sandpaper and sanding blocks. Start by holding the sandpaper firmly against the edge of the piece and move it back and forth until all rough edges are smoothed out. Finally, use a drill to attach the pieces together and you are done! With these steps, you can easily cut and assemble the pieces for the seat.
Assemble the Seat
Assembling a seat may seem like a daunting task, but with the right instructions and tools, it can be an easy and enjoyable project. First, start by gathering all the necessary parts and tools. Make sure to check the instruction manual for the exact number of parts and what type of tools you will need. Once you have everything, organize it in an orderly fashion so that you can follow along with the instructions. Next, begin by attaching the legs to the seat frame. Secure them firmly using the provided screws and a power drill. Once that is done, attach the seat cushion to the frame. Make sure that it fits snugly in place without any gaps between the cushion and frame. Finally, attach the back cushion to the frame. Secure it with screws and make sure that it is level with the seat cushion. Following these steps will ensure that your seat is assembled correctly with no problems.

Science Fiction / Horror
A standalone short story. This is a dream I had a few weeks ago that scared the shit out of me. In my dream, I am the creature. It doesn't seem as scary written down- let me know if you feel differently. It could exist in the story of Pandora's Orchard, but it might not.
As always, this is an unpublished rough draft, so changes will happen.
Enjoy.

The creature stirred.
Or rather, the simulation of the creature stirred.
The physiology and microbiology of this species was fascinating and endlessly complex, and replicating it in a higher number of orthogonal dimensions was an impressive feat on its own. For there to be any possibility that a living being from a 3-brane would be able to be brought to life here and now provoked greater existential questions-- the team had left those to philosophers. The fact was they could try, and so they would.
The creature would never know- the pocket of lower-dimensional space was well stabilized within its chamber. It would be impossible to detect from within that the creature was in anything other than a perfect inertial reference frame pushing against a smooth spacetime curvature. The secret ingredient they had long needed came in the set of solutions integrating that elusive half-dimension the matter in their universe depended on for structure- finally their gravity models worked correctly with simulated particle physics.
Their observations of the 3-brane had led to startling conclusions; within their own universe, there existed a layer within a layer, bubbles of subatomic size that composed a great shape beyond comprehension. These creatures lived within that layer— everywhere and nowhere all at once, bigger and smaller at the same time than anything the scientists or their people could compare to.
They had found a creature- one of those beings that seemed to be present in every one of the bubbles- whose universe was scoured, empty and dark. The creature lived still, somehow able to sustain itself in what otherwise appeared to be a cold, dead vacuum. This was perfect- they wouldn’t need to simulate a 3 dimensional atmosphere, a huge barrier to progress.
It moved now, its observation chamber projected upon the manifold the scientists observed. They monitored this multidimensional display carefully, examining with exasperated expressions all of the curious components of the being- inside and out- as it moved in real time.
These humans, as they tended to call themselves, were merely toroidal 3-brane entities constrained by a unidirectional time dimension. It was somewhat ironic that their anus formed first in utero, considering these scientists regarded their rudimentary dimension as the anus of the multiverse.
The creature propped itself up on its arms, looking around the chamber and blinking, stretching its body upwards.
It was a miracle.
They had discovered sentient life outside their species.
Though, this was still merely a simulation— an assembly of 3 dimensional sub-particles that had been constructed using matter projectors. It was a “physically real” hologram, sure, but they had no way to make contact with the creature itself. The hologram acted with whatever impulses were contained in its replicated tissues. This exercise was purely observational.
The creature stood. Staggering on its thin and trembling legs, the naked and flaccid being opened its mouth and appeared to speak to no one. Its “brain” and anatomy seemed to be working quite well, exact duplicates of the living creature they had found.
They would need to go ahead and shut the experiment down soon, however. There were ethical questions about artificial entities being made in matter projectors, and they got more and more hairy the longer the thing was turned on. These were simple toroidal 3-brane entities, after all. They were hardly sentient in the same way, they weren't even capable of moving freely along all of their orthogonal axes. Considering their anus formed first in utero, it's no surprise the scientists essentially considered that reality the anus of the multiverse. Letting them live might constitute cruelty.
But something was happening.
The creature stared at its own hands.
It seemed to regard them curiously.
Then they changed.
The scientists exchanged worried glances.
The now-silent human's hands stretched and warped as it stared at them with grim determination.
A fear struck the observers, one they couldn’t quantify.
The creature turned and looked directly at them. This was impossible. They existed outside of the space this thing was constructed in, they weren’t *in* a direction. And yet each of them felt its eyes gazing upon them.
The slender being lowered its hands, opened its mouth, its eyes filled with a black ichor, and a swirling mass of oily, dark liquid exploded out of its body, filling the chamber in an instant. The creature disappeared within the churning roil.
As the observers raced to shut down the machine, the barriers containing the simulation cracked.
A soupy blackness penetrated the space outside from every direction at once.
