#rest assured training

[doctors-star]

thinking about how the watch books and the moist books are all about the city, and what would happen if it was moist given charge of the city watch and vimes working in the post office. the easy answer is obviously that it wouldn't work; lipwig's heart lies in selling sizzle, whereas vimes' primary interest is ascertaining where the sausage was on the night in question. but i'm compelled by moist looking at criminality from the other side - it's the same thought process, but the criminal should end up inside the cell, the patrician beams - suddenly faced more often with the consequences of petty crimes, with the victims, with the messy nasty aftermath. vimes, drunk and depressed in a dead-end job in the post office, which no-one uses or respects anyway, seeing the next postmaster die and hearing about the clacksmen dying and deciding: no more. moist would think carrot was his parole officer; vimes would struggle, somewhat, with a nine foot man of clay hiding the bearhuggers all the time. the watch would be shiny and sexy and the post office wouldn't be, not at all, but there would be a very angry man hauling letters about the place, mumbling to himself about setting them on fire because he's not having someone else's words in his damn head. the summoning dark wouldn't like lipwig; he knows its tricks. moist wouldn't arrest an army, or the patrician, because he doesn't believe in the law that way, but he'd talk everyone into such confusion that they'd forget what he was ambassadoring for in the first place. vimes wouldn't race the clacks, but he'd check the vault for gold properly when he took on the bank and get its previous owners arrested, causing widespread chaos and giving lipwig a headache. it'd work out of sheer bloody-mindedness and love of the city and it would shake out all wrong - but it would shake out nonetheless.

also lipwig would think it was so funny, being head cop, and vimes would love playing with trains. they deserve that.

#discworld #moist von lipwig #sam vimes #rest assured moist is also investigating a break in at the golem trust and sam is shyly delivering dragon medicine up scoone avenue #any man that fond of driving a riverboat would love playing trains #this is your captain speaking

OH. okay so normally i dont touch discourse with a 20 ft pole, but this has been niggling at my brain tonight and i finally realized why

the people who are mad at qbbh for the memory loss and “dodging consequences” dont understand that he doesnt want to dodge consequences. Like they cant know that, they werent focused on him when he was literally feeding himself to the soul vultures and planning his eventual imprisonment and also. The Many Many Many hints he made towards suicide/sacrifice/Just Fucking Dying.

ccbbh is a subtle roleplayer, he’s been building this shit up for two whole months- it was day FIVE of the eggs going missing that he resolved to do whatever it took (hurting his friends) to get the eggs back. It was day three that he followed in dapper’s footsteps and started feeding himself to the soul vultures (and gaining a Massive headwound beneath his hood in the process- you can only see it if you go on namemc and remove the layers). He’s got impaired judgement. Even the memory issues arent a new thing- i cant remember exactly when they started, but one of the first big moments i remmeber was september 30th where he spent an hour falling into a delusional frenzy searching his base for cameras that he forgot he asked aypierre to plant.

The super murder of purgatory and the memory loss afterwards probably all feels very sudden for people who havent been following his story, but as someone who has been- all of this has been true to character. The only cheap swings he’s made have been combat-based in purgatory, and even the motive for those was built up in rp.

People are calling for consequences, but he has alrwady been experiencing self-inflicted consequences for months. The blue on his usual outfit is blood. This recent memory loss isnt a restart to get away with the atrocities - it is yet another consequence of his egg-protecting complexes and the ways he punishes himself for failing them.

he is NOT a moral character. he’s a demon hiding in plain site. he has eaten people. he has killed people. he understands the cruelty of his actions, and the consequences of them for the loved ones of his victims. but it matters when that harm is being done to his loved ones. he’ll still do it, because he will do anything for the eggs, but it matters, and that means that he has already started the process of self-inflicting those much-demanded consequences

#anyone who isnt a qbbh makn please extend some sympathy for us. our guy is being misunderstood again #so if people seem twitchier than usual that probbaly plays a factor #but if it ever gets annoying be rest assured he is doing his very best to train us in media literacy #and also the block and filter buttons are your friends #and qbbh mains join me in the genuinely freeing revelation that they have just. strawmanned him yet again #i feel like youve gotta be able to understand a character to truly hate them #and no one (not even us oh my fucking god) really understand him #and thus the vitrol means nothing and i am free of all woes #anyway tho genuinely if you want to know more about this cube im willing to talk about him #i have Credentials #one of my posts was dono’d to the cc almost word for word and he called me a know it all #qsmp #qsmp badboyhalo #discourse #<- mentioned #an interestinf discussion could be had too about xyz character Deserving xyz thing #and really people in general Deserving xyz thing #but i think that is a wasp nest i dont know enough about to join swatting #i ngeed. to go to bed

Idk some malinois owners are so obsessed with their dogs it almost seems like a cult. They go on about the hours they put in and the drive their dogs have and it feels like they’re seeking purpose for themselves rather than what’s actually beneficial for their dogs? If Mals are so high maintenance how could ordinary people own them?

If a malinois is owned by a regular person the cult-like folk will go on and on about how those people must not have intense dogs or that their (the cult-like people's) dogs are soooo much more crazy and work worthy than the people with them as active companions lol.

Really the way they talk about these dogs is no different than the people that worship corporate work grind. Like the type of language is the same and everything.

#dogblr #faq #now rest assured i do think a lot of average people don't NEED to own malinois #but i also don't think they are the 'loaded gun work all the time grind grind grind' that malinois people think they are #because 1.) creating that intense environment WILL create an intense dog with no understanding of settling #and 2.) you can also cultivate a training culture within your home that is NOT geared towards intense engagement 200% of the time #it is literally not hard #in the end a dog this intense is very good for sports perhaps but holds little weight when put into actual work #how often do you think a dog in a war or police environment are doing stuff all the time? there's a lot more chilling around #than people think not to mention the dog's original purpose as shepherd dogs #a good work dog can chill and be composed and calm #i know a guy with a k9 unit malinois #and every time i have met that dog it is composed and relaxed tbh

interviewer invited me to another queer event on international eel day and i had to hold myself back from going “oh on international eel day” in the middle of a job interview. because that would probably lead to me having to explain why i had plans to do eel related things on the 17th instead of gay networking

#personal #i’m the master of social situations #all my training has led up to this point #i said that i’d check my calendar but in reality i’m weighing up socialising or visiting the bunjilaka eels #either way i will be in the eel skirt rest assured

So... I cut a bunch of thread the other day for a Storyteller/Tiger Rock coloured chevron bracelet just to have another go and to get some button fasten practice attempts in, but I couldn't find a button that matched the theme. I was gonna buy a bunch of stars for more animatronic colour scheme ones because they match, but still couldn't see one matching Tiger Rock unless I somehow used two (a blue and a green) but still couldn't see a good shaped one. I was thinking maybe a pink star, or a white and black striped one, and I've just thought of one with a tree on it cause there's no way those don't exist and...

My mum just gave me a shortbread tin of buttons that she, her mum and my dad's mum have somehow accumulated over the years! Hooray! There's bound to be a good one in here!

.... Nope! There's some good ones and some weird ones and some really nice ones, but there's nothing that matches the Storyteller/Tiger Rock theme.

Lads. There's so many buttons here how is there not a single good one for this?? Going insane here

#there isn't a good Roxy one either to be fair #or at least i don't think there is #like... there's buttons that would do but like... not any GOOD ones ya know? #maybe my standards are too high or something #maybe i need to become an expert at making my own buttons... #this sucks though #I LITERALLY HAVE PATTERNED BEAR SHAPED BUTTONS #BUT NOT ANYTHING REMOTELY RELEVANT TO TIGER ROCK/STORYTELELR #WHADDA HELL #i also have patterned scottie dogs but rest assured i will NOT be using that for a Roxy one. #that's too much of a stretch lmao dbdj #if i can get a train shaped button I'd be surprised if i can't get a car shaped one #or a wolfy one or just a really nice green/red/purple star for her #a lightning bolt would be good too but I've never seen a lightning bolt one #one painted like fire would be dope too #i just can't believe #out of all of these buttons #there isn't a single one for my immediate use #whadda hell #pop rox talks

Dear God, I'm actually doing it.

I'm putting Daniel in Situations that he cannot dance his way out of.

I mean, it wasn't much, to be honest. I haven't gotten to the Situation or the dancing yet. But it's a start. And considering how I hadn't written a single word in over a month, I'm pretty damn happy that I got 800 words down today. So I'm gonna take the microscopic W on this one.

#What is wrong with you Sam you should not be allowed to write #I...actually wrote something again?? #I was starting to think that would straight up never happen but I'm glad I did a little something at least #Y'all better hope I don't finish and/or post this nightmare fic though... #It's...A Lot. #And could probably get me cancelled #Deservedly so #Still if this is me getting the tiniest bit out of this writing slump then I'm happy! #If I'm able to keep this train a rollin' - rest assured there will be dancing and there will be TERROR #And angst. Warranted angst. #I'm going to make that boy suffer 🙂🙂🙂

had a dream about pirates but not about my pirate characters.. so i guess i have new pirate characters now

#dream was mostly following the first mate #who was a non op/non transitioned trans man #and the crew was totally fine and respectful of it #but others were Not #i dont remember how but they lost access to their ship and were grtting ready to catch a ride on a train to the next city/port #but the people running the train were like YOU need to sleep down w the rest of the girls #the captain wanted to square up for his first mate but he was like its fine its temporary just let it go #the women were like um this isnt where you sleep ? youre a man ? and hes like dont worry ladies i will be keeping to myself #but i DO need a bunk in the meanwhile so whos sharing #(he is very very handsome so there were eager volunteers) #also he (along w a lot of the lirate crew) had like. all of his things stolen #so hes just got the clothes / first mate garb on his back #also hes bisexual and speaks french #there was a moment in the dream where he noticed a frenchman too nervous to shoot his shot w a girl #and he was like ah well you know. i am not very impressive to women... down there #and the first mate was like dont worry man i assure you plenty of women love a man w a small dick #it was a nice convo and also all in french which is so weird i dont think ive dreamed in french before #i also remember him saying about the sleeping arrangements something like. well. dont blame me for #me for the consequences of putting a cock in the henhouse #he was just extremely cool and blase. he knows who he is and his crew knows who he is and that was enough for him #op #also i think the captain has a crush on his first mate

[baejax-the-great]

Love the audacity of someone commenting on a two year old post to tell OP they are wrong as if nobody else has thought to do so in the past two years

#telling people they are wrong on the internet is one of human's most basic instincts #it can't be trained out of them no matter how hard we try #which is to say you are not the first #and also your correction was wrong yeah I'm telling you that you are wrong about telling me i'm wrong but that's okay #anyway I can't say I'm against telling OP they are wrong point blank because some things are dangerous or just false or incredibly misleadi #if the subject is important #when it comes to fandom shit though you can rest assured that if the post has more than 50 notes and can be argued #someone has told OP they are wrong in condescending tones

[austerulous]

My muse is at an all-time high, but unfortunately work is stupidly busy. 10 more days and then I’ll be free.

#threads asks and dms are piling up so please rest assured i see you #i was hired to recruit train and schedule volunteers and the organisation's major annual event is next weekend #once it's over i'll likely be going back down to one day a week #then it's over for you clowns (affectionate) #i'll still be here in meantime #i'll just be slower and sleepier and more stressed than usual ✌️ #◈ — ooc; puffin speaks

[stinkrascal]

also!! treating dogs like they are actual human beings is detrimental for their development. i mean they are dogs, so they need to be treated and taken care of like dogs! a little puppy that spends all day on a stroller with a hat and sunglasses looks cute yes, but it isnt getting the enrichment it needs and deserves, so problems will present down the road. i have 4 dogs and i absolutely adore them, but i would never treat them like real human babies since that is bad for them and also for me you know. some dog owners are a little weird i agree

yeah thats exactly right! i love animals, and i love dogs, thats why im passionate about them being trained responsibly, so that they develop healthily and get to live long lives!! thats also why like i said, id never get a dog of my own, bc i dont trust my abilities to train it properly. i think if ppl are just mindful of how they treat their animals then that is best! give them love, but always remember theyre still animals at the end of the day and they need to be treated as such!!

#jade answers #anonymous #just train dogs responsibly thats my main point #same goes for all animals too you know. its my responsibility to train my cat appropriately #but i know how to deal w cats way more than dogs which is why i own a cat and not a dog ahaha #rest assured my cat is still my babychild of course. but yk what im trying to say!

[yaoiwarveteran]

few people know that im a planes guy. wheres my planes mutuals

#slowly becoming a trains guy too. but rest assured i will never become a cars guy

[balladccr]

it has been a long time since i've written within a very active fandom (most of my other blogs have been for dead ones or even nonexistent ones), so i just want all my mutuals to know:

lack of engagement/interaction ≠ lack of interest

my old tired ass just gets overwhelmed insanely easily, and so much of my days i spend just scrolling the dash, throwing out likes here and there to show "hey, you're neat; i like you. keep at it."

#||🗲 ‹ooc› #ALSO this isn't me being like 'wehhhh i'm not gonna reach out to you so you need to reach out to me' NOOO no no no #i'm not doing that at all i promise <3 #i'm just saying that if we're mutuals please rest assured that i adore you #and think you're awesome for what you're doing c: #and am definitely down to write sometime if we aren't already !! #just assume my likes = hugs tbh #but hoooo yea my disposition is not trained for a super active fandom so #not me just scrolling like @^@ what is this-- #i'm here lurking and enjoying ya'll--just tend to keep quiet since it's what i'm used to \u-u/

Throw Pillows Progress Update

I’ve gotten a few asks about when I’m posting the next chapter.

Short answer: 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m 6.7k words into chapter 4 and roughly 65% through my outlined material. The rest of what I need to write is vital to a later part of the story. I’m going to write that portion before I post, so that I don’t write myself into a corner. So it’s going to be a while before you get another chapter, but you will get A LOT when I finally do post. I’ll likely split this piece up into 2 chapters, but post them back to back. And then that third related bit that I need to write before posting will be up soon after that.

#throw pillows and overnight trains #I've reached a tricky portion of this fic #I can't just word vomit dumb stuff and hit post like #most of the prior slow 'verse fics #I need to word vomit dumb stuff and make sure it links to future dumb stuff #rest assured the fic is not abandoned just cause it's been more than a few days without an update #I do have less time writing time than recently because of real life stuff #but nearly all the free time I have is being used for writing #this will get finished #please be patient #and realize that prodding for updates can be a little stressful #if you want to motivate me #send me nice stuff #like sentences that made you laugh #'more please' 'update please' 'when are you posting' is not helpful #🙏

     @algizkali​ encounters hyouka!

     " hey, hey, hey, bushida-san!! ” to call the woman so politely surely means hyouka is about to ask something of her; usually she’d avoid honorifics altogether because who needs ‘em?? but there are some instances in which they’re necessary to avoid offense, particularly when a request is about to be made ( especially when the one involved hardly knows the young slayer ). excited amber eyes go wide for a moment as though hyouka’s suddenly realized something. “ ah, you are bushida-san, right? the former hashira? ” then she’s back to grinning big and wide, barely giving ahmya time to answer before she’s shooting out, “ i wanted to ask you to train me!! i heard you’re super fast and trained the sound hashira, and he’s super fast and strong, too!! i’d love to be like that!! ”

#algizkali #ahmya: just minding her business #hyouka materializing out of thin air: HEY BUSHIDA-SAN--- #asdfgh btw if ahmya lives in a compound completely separate and out of the way from the butterfly mansion #rest assured that hyouka would 100% just show up like ' hi i need to get stronger and i heard you're a great teacher so here i am : ) ' #ALSO i remember you mentioning she trained tengen?? but if i'm remembering wrong just ignore that part or tell me and i'll #change it!! #but in general if you aren't feeling this just let me know bc i really don't mind throwing something else at you <3 #you know what you are? a queuetie!
