Found a very sweet, very stinky dog that now won’t leave my side.
I think you might be her new family…
I wish. She’s well-fed, affectionate, and trained, so somebody is surely missing her.
Baby. A horrendously smelly baby. If we can’t find her owners, we’ve got some potential takers among our friends. Last option is a special pitt bull rescue center - or, if my dad continues to melt over her and bring her scraps of turkey, maybe our home.
more updates please
We’re currently attempting to lure her inside with trails of turkey breast. We don’t want to put her into a car to take her to the vet until she smells less like Death.
Well, she’s inside, and my mom says I can’t call her “Lore” because we already have a dog named after a 90’s TV show character. She wants to name her “Tesla” because she likes Doc Brown’s tradition of naming dogs after scientists, but I don’t want to face future discourse about it.
The Dog has had a bath and took it very gracefully. She’s been incredibly shy since she came inside, but now that she’s (mostly) destinkified, she seems a hundred times bolder and more trusting and is curiously exploring the house.
She seems to absolutely adore other dogs, but Scully has been pissy lately, so we’re keeping them apart. She has a limp that I’m worried about, but her facial lacerations appears to be healing well and she allows herself to be lifted calmly.
We’re waiting to hear back from the owner listed on her microchip. We found her almost five miles from her home address, which doesn’t rule out the possibility of being dumped. If her owners don’t want her, we’ll find her a good home.
In the meantime…
Is there an update? How old is this?? Is she ok??
She’s currently at the clinic with my mom getting vaccinated. Still no response from her owners. She slept next to my bed last night and snored the entire goddamn time.
Day 12: I’ve almost given up hope of hearing back from the owners. As of tomorrow, she’ll have been in our care and long enough for the humane society to consider her abandoned and allow for her legal adoption to a new home. She’s going to spend tomorrow night with a local couple to see how she gets along with their old labrador - if it’s successful, they’ll adopt her once their vacation is over.
In the meantime, I have taught her to provide what I am told counts as “deep pressure therapy”, and she has become a much happier, more confident, and far less stinky dog than she was two weeks ago. Her laceration has healed nicely and her limp has vanished.
Hey instead of a Harry Potter world there should be a lord of the rings world where it’s super immersive and you’re given a sword when you enter the world and giant spiders chase you and the elf actors eat dirt and offer you some
can we befriend and/or flirt with the giant spiders asking for a friend
It’s you’re adventure you can do whatever you want but watch out!
HI, THIS EXISTS, IT’S CALLED EVERMORE PARK, IT’S IN PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH

The town functions as a real-time story with a plot and everybody has backstory and movie-quality makeup and shit
Useless Things I Know About Scooby-Doo: The Original Series That Are Actually Canon:
1. Shaggy Rogers is a vegetarian
2: Shaggy was called “Buzz” until his 10th birthday
3: Shaggy has a collection of 653 decorator belt buckles and he wears a different buckle every episode, you just can’t see it
4: Shaggy started collecting belt buckles to combat his Scooby-Snack addiction related weight problems
5: Shaggy’s actual name is Norville
6: Shaggy found the Mystery Machine
7: Shaggy is a talented gymnast
8: Daphne wanted to be a supermodel or detective when she grew up
9: Daphne gets straight A’s in school
10: Daphne regularly loses dates because she leaves them to solve mysteries
11: Daphne’s Dad, George Blake, gave the gang a 100 dollar check to get started
12: Velma came up with the phrase “Jinkes” on the fly
13: Velma used to say “oh my” before she said Jinkes
14: Velma’s has hundreds of awards for outstanding achievements in school
15: Fred is a bass and sings from the opera Showboat when the team gets scared

18: Fred wants to be a mystery writer
19: Scooby’s full name is Scoobert Doo
20: Scooby Doo has a limited number of phrases he can say and has to act out anything that can’t be explained simply
21: The gang thought Scooby’s speaking was strange at first, but decided it “really wasn’t a big deal”
22: Before they had the Mystery Machine the gang used to pay their parents gas money to drive them around
BONUS: The series was supposed to be about a band who went around solving mysteries, but that completely changed when Scooby-Doo got added to the cast and became the title character
So a group of people united by their love of solving mysteries just shrug at a talking dog
They come from eggs and are smaller than normal foals?? I have no idea yet. None of these ideas are concrete, but @howling-sage made me want to draw these little guys after this ask. I definitely want to put more thought into the foals/chicks of pegasi, but it may have to come after the anthology.
A quick overview of the Sky Cowboys world from the perspective of the people who live there:
Chasms cut across the landscape, breaking the surface into “land islands” of all sizes. They range from a scant few hundred feet across to hundreds of miles wide. No one knows how deep the chasms are. The floors (if they have floors) are shrouded by mist, and everyone who’s ever ventured below the mist has never returned.
Only creatures with the power of flight can cross the chasms. Many animals evolved some sort of flight mechanism or adapted to live in the sky. Those that did not remain isolated and further adapted for their highly specific ecosystem.
The people of the world often live in humble dwellings made of timber or brick. The general technology level is that of the 1700′s of our world: steam, coal, iron, some steel. Pegasus feathers have also become a useful commodity due to their lightweight but sturdy properties.
Mankind tamed the pegasus so they could cross the chasms. Those who fly pegasi are called “pilots”. Pilots herd other creatures and carry goods/messages across the chasms. They are the center of trading between the “islands”. It’s considered a dangerous job. Most pilots are courageous, rough, wild, daring, and highly talented. They consist of both men and women.
Over the years, pilots and craftsmen have developed specific gear and specialized saddles with which to ride pegasi. Most saddles are narrow in front to rest between the pegasus’ wings with a high cantle in the back. The pilot’s knees rest on the base of the wings (they look like how a jockey sits on a racehorse). Heel slings strap around the heel of the boot to hold the foot in place. Most of the pilots weight in flight rests on the strap, rather than on the wings. Pilots don’t often use bridles. They rely on voice and leg commands to steer their pegasus.
As for the pegasi themselves, there are 3 main species:
The Broadwing Peagsus is the workhorse (har har) of the world. Most pilots ride these. Found all over the world, they’re sturdy, reliable, and robust. They’re based on quarter horses and mustangs or similar breeds. Their wings are comparable to eagle, owl, kite, and hawk wings. Broadwings are technically omnivores, though the vast majority of their diet is vegetarian. They are not considered predatory, and travel in flocks up to 50 strong. Like horses in our world, there is a clear herd hierarchy with a boss mare and protecting stallion.
The Longwing Pegasus is a coastal breed. They live largely solitary lives and roost/live on the cliff sides of the oceans. Based on lighter horse breeds like Akhal Tekes, Warmbloods, and Thoroughbreds, they are a bit more fragile but have more stamina than broadwings. They tend to be energetic, flighty, highly intelligent. Their wings are similar to gulls, albatross, and terns. They eat mostly fish by skimming the tops of the waves, or diving down into the water.
The Shortwing Pegasus is the draft horse of the world. They are generally flightless unless aided by intense winds. They’re steady, slow, and flashy. Based on songbirds, pheasants, ducks, and peacocks, they’re quite colorful. Often used for heavy farm work, or hauling over land. They eat seeds, nuts, and grasses. Untamed they also travel in flocks, but tend to keep nearby forests for the safety of tree cover from flying predators.
Things I want to explore are pegasus competitions, the floors of the chasms, the coastal regions, towns in general, and clothing (flight and day clothes)
5 wizards? Man you need to work on your party composition.
There’s no rule that says barbarians can’t wear robes and a pointy hat. :D It definitely doesn’t count as armor.
concept, Barbarian who dresses as a wizard and carries a fake wizard staff, so everyone is expecting them to attack with magic. instead they just bash people over the head with the staff.
Concept: An entire party of non-wizards who all dress like wizards. Monks also have unarmored defense and a fondness for smashing people with sticks! Add in a druid, a cleric, and a warlock with leather armor under the robes and you have a pretty solid party. :D
Or even just characters dressed as the wrong class. Barbarian disguised as a wizard. Wizard disguised as a fighter whose staff/ wand forms the handle of thier weapon.
Ooh, a warlock disguised as a cleric.
A fighter disguised as a bard. Who sings terribly to distract the opponent then just punches them.
