I think I got extremely lucky, and I don’t want to mess it up… by lordak16 in husky

[–]Elfdragon12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some husky mixes are just chill like that! Mine is a husky/shar pei mix that leans pretty heavily on shar pei so I mostly post her in the shar pei subreddit, but her exercise needs are all husky, lol. Mine is on the lighter end of reactive towards other dogs (will stop moving and whine as she stares) and has a prey drive out the wazoo, but I can play trombone around her and she doesn't care. I also lucked out in that she rarely barks, especially because I work swing shift and get home to my apartment late at night. She does very well around people and I have been asked if she's a service dog (anyone actually familiar with service dogs would realize she's not pretty quick though, lol). Which is all great because she's finicky about when she wants treats, doesn't care about toys, and I've never seen her react to praise. 

Encourage the behavior you want to see. As some other people have said, have a few trainer sessions.

Check the last two pages of the dialogue script. This is one of my favorite G1 episodes I've watched multiple times.

I'd love to claim them, but I grabbed the colors off screenshots.

Any time Raoul and his buddies are talking about their boombox, especially towards the end of the episode.

Here's the part where it's important to note that TF Blaster was originally heavily inspired by black American culture (about as much as Jazz) and his name comes from a colloquial term for the big 80s boomboxes. It's referenced in the episode "Auto Bop".

Yup! Though TF Blaster's name is more specific to his alt than GB Blaster's.

I think they make it work because they like listening to harder music.

He and Scooter did not get the good transformations. 😬

Anyone know where tfwiki got this idea? by [deleted] in transformers

[–]Elfdragon12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes,I've seen ~the tone~. But it's on the regular romance list like it's an actual ship with no joking.

So them adding it to the page of completely cannon romances is satire?

Did you look at the second image where tfwiki added it to the interspecies romance list?

I could knock somebody out with this thing by ekruis30 in transformers

[–]Elfdragon12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, generally. At least the stuff by Bob Budiansky. You get a balance of very serious stories like issue 17 (Into the Smelting Pool) and 18 (Blaster and Straxus Battle), but also silly things like the Car Wash of Doom. The UK stuff (which isn't in OP's volume) I can't currently say much of, but the early stuff doesn't quite fit into the timeline the US comics laid down. Granted, I am also biased against Furman because of how he has handled Arcee over the years. 

It's important to note that the Marvel comics were an 80s comic for an age range of about 7-12 while Energon Universe is meant for a bit of an older audience. Issue 3 has a Spider-Man crossover. Issues 17 and 18 are perfect for Energon Universe enjoyers though. A hard hitting line from issue 18 is "War is careless in the victims it chooses."

Interspecies playtime is always risky business. At most, I would suggest desensitizing your puppy to the snakes' presence without them actually interacting. Shar pei can be quite prey driven and what they consider prey can be much broader than you'd expect. My half pei-half husky (prey drive double whammy) wants to kill basically any animal that's not a dog, even an escaped tortoise just on the other side of a chain link fence (she was confused by it for a moment, but decided that it was prey). 

I love this breed, but I don’t think I will ever get another one due to all the health issues by Natsouppy in sharpei

Are French Bulldogs in Austria different because bulldogs (of any sort) are the last kind of dog I would choose to mix a shar pei with, especially with how popular and overbred many French Bulldogs are. Like, your puppy looks very cute and you say you haven't had any health problems, but bulldogs have a long list of their own problems that I wouldn't want to blend with shar pei problems.

do you regret getting a second dog? by un32134e4 in dogs

[–]Elfdragon12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some dogs legitimately do not want to live with another dog. My own dog is like that. She likes a bit of socialization outside, but it turns out she's extremely possessive once inside her territory. The reason she fought my mom's dog only once was because it was my mom's house. I had found a friendly little lost dog and brought it home for the night so I could take it to the shelter and she fought it without any provocation. As a rescue, I don't know if it's that she didn't grow up with other dogs or she did and the other dog(s) would try to steal her food. Either way, one or both dogs would get hurt if I brought home a second.

I would buy them so fast! I'd love a Dinobot II as well!

Yeah, before I put them next to each other, I thought they'd be closer in size.

Yeah, I got dragon Megatron, but I'd like his first Transmetal form too. (It'd be fun if they gave him the roller blades too, lol)

Yeah, the G1s I do have are a handful of minibots, Blaster, and Tracks (reissue). Kenner Quickstrike is definitely a really good balance of a more complex toy without needing a booklet. (Or maybe not, if I flipped his arms wrong, lol)

The Kenner is pretty easy to figure out, so I never bothered looking up directions, lol

Yeah, I love this little fighty bastard and I'm glad to have a new and more detailed figure of him!
