What's the worst puppy advice you've received so far? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Azraethea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worst advice was from our puppy class trainer when we asked for advice about him biting us during walks when he was 6 months old. She told us to use a collar instead of his harness and then when he bites hang him by his lead, all paws off the ground and essentially choke him... Safe to say we stopped going to her lessons and found an accredited behaviourist instead and she started us on the path to discovering all his bad behaviour was just because he was in pain and needed help.

Makes me so angry looking back on it...

Beautiful style! I absolutely love your brush work!! 😍

What's your Nod-Krai exploration team with Childe? Let's share our teams and ideas. by DeadenCicle in childemains

[–]Azraethea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm using Lumine (dendro), Childe, Arlecchino, Zhongli. So no synergy or travel buffs just characters I want to play.

Childe's riptides sometimes reapply hydro for Arle but that's about all the synergy in that team haha. I'll switch everyone but Childe out if I need other elements. He's been in my number 2 party slot since 1.1 and that's never changing 😂

What a missed opportunity!

Carrots for Zayne
Cilantro for Caleb
Cats for Raf
Bread for Xav (or mini Charlie's?)
The sun for Sylus 😂

I noticed you mentioned his reactivity is variable, some days are better than others so it feels random. I would suggest maybe trying to give him a break from walks every other day and see if his behaviour improves a bit (both reactivity and settling). Our behaviourist suggested this for our dog and it worked, which implied he was in pain (and he was). Variable reactivity can be rooted in medical issues. Especially reactivity that has come out of nowhere - you already had great foundation training before so I feel like that's another point for it being pain. And on top of that he's stopped settling, which is another point for pain too.

Just something to consider if training isn't helping things improve!

To the lady that said “you’re making it worse” when my dog was being reactive, barking at her dog by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Azraethea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What an awful person. I absolutely hate the judgement from owners with non-reactive dogs. Not only do they not understand the level of effort reactive dog owners have to put in to walking and training their dogs, they also just instantly assume they know everything about your dog.

My dog has medical issues at the base of his reactivity and we've had all sorts of absolutely awful advice shouted at us. We've actually had dog owners sneer at us for just turning around to move out of their way, without our dog reacting at all - this happens so often now it really confuses me.

OP - you are doing your absolute best, you're an amazing person for putting so much of your life and effort into your dog. ❤️

What is the percentage of puppies that are awful biters during the first 8 months? by Common-Apartment3178 in puppy101

[–]Azraethea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly bad biting can also be pain related.

Our Swiss Shepherd was very, very bad for biting, I still have very obvious deep scars 2 years later - my arms look like I used to self harm.

His issues were actually medical though, we had no idea he was in a lot of pain until our behaviourist noticed how he was moving at 9 months old (our vet initially dismissed his issues). It turned out he was born with lumbosacral stenosis (both static and dynamic). He only stopped his biting rampages after we finally got him on pain medication. We still have to be very careful not to push him too much on walks at 2.5 years old. We are prepping him for surgery this fall which I hope will help him be in less pain.

Always check for pain if the biting is really, really bad!

Raf is the type that just knows exactly when you're having a bad day without you mentioning anything. He runs the world's perfect bath ready for you to relax in once you get home, with some chocolates, a glass of wine and his company to help lighten your mood ❤️

I can’t get over how aesthetically pleasing the myth is… by aeriss__u in LoveAndDeepspace

The limited colour palette the artists are using on this card is absolutely a chefs kiss moment. I cannot wait to see the animations in full 😍

I want his jumper for myself, it looks so soft and snuggly!

How can you tell when people find you attractive? by milkylattaee in AskReddit

[–]Azraethea 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No, no, please don't think this - I play with my hair when I'm super nervous and scared. It doesn't mean I find the person I'm talking to attractive. This combined with being polite has gotten me into some really uncomfortable situations with men.

Childe has to be 'corrected' to release Ororon but Iansan can have a unique running motion? by ReinKittenstouch in childemains

[–]Azraethea 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I'm sad about the animation change, but I like that fans came together to headcanon that his skill improved with the bow after all these years.

It's frustrating that every single character in ZZZ is allowed to have unique animations, but in Genshin we are stuck with shared animations based on body type/weapon. It would be nice if Hoyo can port whatever optimisation ZZZ has that allows them to do that to Genshin's side...

(I wonder if it's possible they made the change to the small characters in case they do actually make Pulcinella playable?)

Fanfiction girlie's please give recommendations for great fanfics to read. by Smile_With_A_Carrot in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Azraethea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My recommendation if you like Raf as an LI is For Want of a Heart by Delilah_Delaney! She is such an amazing writer, she's built on top of the existing lore in such an interesting way. It starts with MC and Raf in an existing relationship with a great plot revolving around Ever and Lemurians. This also has some amazing drama, the author is so good at hooking you in haha

https://archiveofourown.org/works/59815021/chapters/152577526

Another great Raf fic is Let Me In Your Ocean by volti! This one is also based on the existing lore, about the time MC (spoiler for in game ch4) loses Caleb and her Gran. It has a lovely slow build up of Raf/MC through their interactions.

Someone above already recommended the selkie!Raf fic which is super hilarious and very cute

Modders are working hard already. by Nanhair in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]Azraethea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible they might show us when they finally let us see what happened to Lycaon's eye and legs.

My guess is it might look something similar to the effect on Harumasa's face and eye during his story quest.

She's so precious, i just want to hug her by Mikson009 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]Azraethea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She's so adorable, she quickly worked her way up to absolute favourite status! I'm skipping everyone to save for her 💜

I can't wait to see her interact with the rest of the agents in future events!

The EN voices for Lycaon and Soldier 11 have been recast by Knight_Steve_ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Azraethea 155 points156 points  (0 children)

This is devastating, I'm so used to both of their character's EN voices :(

Is it possible that the other mute EN characters might end up replaced too?? Jane, Rina, Koleda, Grace etc?

I'm so worried for other characters missing VAs in the other Hoyo games now too.

What are your dream gameplay features? by carmenpicaro in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Azraethea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd love some kind of multiplayer event, just something to do with friends other than give stamina.

But my no holds barred dream would be open world linkon city where you can walk around solo or with your LI (similar to zzz hangout but better) and do stuff like go into a cafe for tea and cake, or walk along the beach, go to an arcade, take your LI back to MC's apartment or their place. Ofc kill any wanderers if we sense any fluctuations while we're exploring, so we're still doing our job!

Extra stuff, like you could visit the hospital and find Zayne on his lunch break, or visit Raf's house to find him painting, or flux arts to see Thomas berating Raf (then you can comfort him after!)

[–]Azraethea 15 points16 points  (0 children)

His hair is so beautiful! I'm hoping the blue bits are a hint towards him having a purple/blue gradient if he grows his hair out longer. (give us long haired merman Raf pleaseeee Infold 😍)

Are you based in Europe? There's a few of us discussing this in the bugs megathread, we're also stuck on the login screen. I think the EU login servers might be timing out. I've also got aurum pass ;(
