as someone who only draws dogs (and may or may not be making rottmnt dog designs rn) this speaks to me on so many levels
I’m just…. happy?… mmmmm validation… I’m not the only one turning them into woof woofs thank god lmao
Turtles... but dog
(Breeds and reasoning under cut)
Raphael: Great Pyrenees - Large, very gentle and loyal dogs. If they consider you family they will go to the ends of the earth to protect you. - 100lbs+ of love and muscle - Tend to get nervous when their families/herds are separated and will stop at nothing to find them and make sure they're safe
Leonardo: Kai Ken - Loyal and intense dogs with high agility - If you do not keep these lads occupied they will destroy everything to entertain themselves - Stripey :] - Extremely good at what they do! They're very smart but also VERY stubborn. - Very family oriented. Once they consider you family everyone else who approaches you is a potential threat
Donatello: Gordon Setter - Stocky and well built, but creative thinkers - Very stoic when interacting with those outside their families, can be difficult for those unfamiliar with them to gauge emotion. - Content to let you do the heavy lifting then sweep in and gloat
Michelangelo: Shiba Inu - LOUD SASSY LITTLE SHIT (affectionate) - Tons of energy all the time. When do they stop? They dont! - Aggressively loyal, will rip your hand off if you say the wrong thing about a loved one - Deceptively strong for their size, do not underestimate them or you will regret it
Thank you for coming to my dogtalk.
Sometimes when I’m dehydrated my body just really wants salad
Like that juicy salad not those thin leaves 😤
It’s like
Edible water
Why You Shouldn’t Cronch
Okay, so we all know the “cronch” meme of rosin here on Tumblr. But why should you not eat rosin? And why should you also not snort rosin? Well, ya girl did a little digging for the benefit of the curious musician. What Is Rosin Made Of? Well, rosin is generally a heated conglomerate resulting from the distillation of crude turpentine oleoresin, or of naphtha extract from pine stumps. In layman’s terms, rosin is tree sap. Similar ingredients go into various products, such as rubber or, most commonly, gum. Different companies may add different ingredients, however, to alter the composition of their product. Seldom, if ever, is bow rosin just plain and simple tree sap. According to Rockin Rosin, “Some other rosin companies add oils, waxes or precious metals and others keep their recipe completely secret.” So Is It Natural Or Not? As stated before, it really depends on the additives. Overall, something you shouldn’t consume is probably mixed into it. But so what? You know what else is natural? Arsenic.
Alright, So What Effects Are We Dealing With, Exactly? For starters, you should probably be more cautious if you have respiratory issues or asthma. Inhaling rosin dust may induce breathing issues for you, and you may even want to look into low-dust rosin. Otherwise, it is important to remember that rosin is a sticky substance made from tree sap. Therefore, when rosin dust meets a liquid substance it will congeal and harden after it reaches a cool enough temperature. By snorting rosin, you are exposing yourself to the risk of your cilia (the little hairs inside of your nose) becoming clogged and stuck together, thus affecting your breathing and possibly doing permanent damage to your nasal canal. Preventing the dispersion of rosin dust is encouraged by the PAN Pesticide Database, so why would you intentionally snort it? Others may experience skin sensitivity or rashes. Allergic contact dermatitis is not uncommon in musicians and performing artists in rosin-heavy environments. This is often a result of individual allergies to abietic acid- an organic compound that is a major component of tree rosin or other plasticizers. There is no major long-term toxicity study done on the affects of eating rosin (that I can find, at least), and this is widely because all the studies are done on rats, not people. Either way, There’s a difference between food grade rosin and the regular rosin you apply to your bow. When you go to the store to buy rosin for your instrument, food grade rosin is not what is being marketed to you. I have heard that even food grade rosin in larger doses can possibly subject you to other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. So bow rosin that contains potentially unnatural, toxic, or metallic compounds should not be intentionally ingested. I’m working on confirming this, but I have also seen some posts stating that some rosin companies intentionally mix in toxic elements with the express purpose of discouraging people from eating it. Again- I have not successfully confirmed that, but it is something to at least consider.
So… So you won’t die because of rosin, and bodily damage is not common… because it is not meant to be consumed, and most people do not consume it. Reactions to rosin are rare and easy to avoid so long as you’re using it correctly and for its express purpose. When not intentionally consumed in large quantities, rosin is practically harmless. Your rosin may be toxic, or it may benign. But either way you shouldn’t consume it, particularly if you don’t know the exact ingredients. Which you probably don’t. Don’t lie to yourself.
But if you or somebody you knows ingests a large amount of rosin, please call the Poison Control Center: 1-800-222-1222

some of the headcanons i have are so innocuous but they weigh on my mind all the same
Back in April I was in a partial hospitalization program, and one of the activities they had us do to keep us occupied was dye hard boiled eggs for Easter. So of course my first thought was "What if I eat one with the shell on like Tecchou"
Then someone did
Fosters Wensleydale (left) and Camembert (right) continue to make ingressive weight gains after being found starving to death in a cage. Enjoying their (slightly larger than normal) breakfast salad.
It's seems to have clicked in Baxter's brain that the kitchen area is where the carrots come from. Every single time I was in the kitchen today, when I turned around, there Baxter was, waiting patiently. He got 6 dime sized carrot chunks today. That's a bit more than I usually give him for treats due to his sensitive GI.
And his name shall be... CAPTAIN CRONCH™
