Yes, Old Dogs Actually Do Need Our Help

I’m re-posting this because of that shit-show post that got wrecked due to mis-information and because I care deeply about Senior Dogs, who have far fewer chances out there and deserve any visibility they can get without being labeled a red-ex scam.

This is legitimate. 

Both URLs you have seen belong to Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary. 

If you’re uncomfortable with the URLs, you can donate via the link on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OldFriendsSeniorDogSanctuary/

Or their website, as stated, both URLs work: http://oldfriendsseniordogs.com/index.html http://ofsds.org/index.html

For reference:

It is NOT uncommon for Non-Profs. (or any company) to own more than one domain name (abbreviated and non) and redirect all to one place or clone their sites in order to serve as catch-alls and attempt to grab more traffic (often people just assume a full name is their url or an abbreviation is their url, sometimes only one is available at the time of purchase and they grab the other one later on). Regardless, the more traffic/visibility, the more chance of donation, which is how they survive.

Updating to Add:

As well, I messaged them earlier and they have 100% confirmed that both URLs belong to them and they accept donations at both. 

The notes and comments are still full of people thinking this is a scam. I hope at least some of you have made donations after all of this nonsense.

ALL RIGHT SO this may come off as a surprise to most of you because I’ve been keeping this shit on the down low for the longest time. I’ve been planning on rebooting this blog for a while but only got off my ass to do so recently when I had the time and motivation to do so. I’ve only told one or two people about the move so I’m sorry for keeping it quiet~

I made the decision to move mainly because when I first started this blog, I knew nothing about rping and how to organize my shit and everything was just all over the place. It’s basically spring cleaning if you will!

I’ve also decided to make the muses fandomless, which means Samhain is no longer a part of the ROTG verse however I can still rp him as a Guardian if that’s what my partner would like for a thread.

I will be circulating this post a lot and archiving this blog shortly after I feel like I’ve moved enough stuff over.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, KINDLY FOLLOW @thesundowncrew​ IF YOU’D STILL LIKE TO RP WITH THESE SPOOKY NERDS PLEASE AND THANK YOU  (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Please take note! I’ve already saved all my saved drafts from this blog to the new one! So unless you’re following me there, you won’t see the replies when I post them! Nothing will come out of this blog except the rest of the palette memes and reblogs until the queue runs dry :)

…nope, i think Nick might rarely use weapons or violence in his police life (while Judy might mostly take this part in their team work lol), instead, he might use his “talking skills” more. ;D …however, there’s still a few situations would make him pick his weapon up.. y'konw, some of those must-to moments..? ;P XD well, just thinking…

I made this years ago and taped it above my drawing table to remind me that not every drawing I make is going to be good and that’s ok. Remember that for every good drawing you see, especially on social media, there are thousands of bad ones that led up to it. The crazy thing is that even as you get better there’ll always be something that frustrates you and the only way to get through it is to draw draw draw!

red flags

  • calling the legitimate anger of oppressed people “drama” or “hate”
  • referring to allocation of human rights as simply “politics”
  • referring to basic human empathy as “political correctness”
  • the childlike refusal to admit mistakes and throwing a literal tantrum
  • “it’s just my opinion”

trickster archetype 101: the basics

trickster is a figure who “exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and conventional behaviour.”1 They upset normal hierarches and expectations of behavior.

common traits of the trickster

The trickster god breaks the rules. Sometimes this is done maliciously or with negative intentions, but the mischief usually winds up with ultimately positive effects in the end.

Tricksters are often:

  • cunning
  • foolish
  • both!
  • funny
  • male (although the Trickster is often more flexible with regards to their sex or gender)

However, they are often also considered sacred, or have important cultural tasks attributed to them (such as the Native American and First Nations mythologies where the coyote or raven stole fire from the gods and brought it to mankind).

Other examples2 of Trickster gods include:

  • Hermes (Greek)
  • Mercury (Roman)
  • Eshu (Yoruba)
  • Wakdjunga (Winnebago)
  • Set (Egyptian)
  • Loki (Norse)

the trickster in creation myths

In cultures featuring two figures who create the world complementarily, one figure often is the Trickster. There is great diversity in these myths, as the two figures might:

  • compete or collaborate in creation;
  • be conceived neutrally or framed as good vs. evil;
  • be of the same importance or differentiated as powerful vs. weak; or
  • be brothers (occasionally even twins) or not related at all.
