Pood's Dark Materials/My Dumb Fabric/G8 Pokemon

Just replaced MLP in the DVR with His Dark Materials...*sniff* Pretty cool so far. Never read the books but have enjoyed getting filled in on the backstory and lore, particularly the awesome concept of the daemon. (Yeah yeah yeah, show me talking animals and I'm in, pretty much...)
Okay, so *hoping* that in Pullmanverse my daemon would settle as one of my two favorite types of animal, to which I feel the deepest spiritual connection...then I'd wind up with either a dog or a fish (including rays and sharks as choices...and possibly other aquatic/invertebrate creatures, but I guess, just say tropical fish.) BUT evidently a fish would require you to constantly tow around a tub of water, sooooo...I suppose aquatic or amphibious daemons would actually be rare and somewhat unlucky to have? You'd need to remain near a suitable body/container of water at all times, which could be tricky, heh. And they'd probably need surface to speak to you. So that sort of eliminates tons of options, buuuut, anything that helps narrow down is okay, right? As I was figuring the other day (at the bottom)...I could crossover and have a fishy Patronus, right?? ^^' Aaaanyway.
Obviously my ideal situation then would be a dog of a favorite breed (preferably Saluki, the eternal easy #1.) Apparently a lot of servants have dog daemons--oooh, how stereotypical, because doggos are obedient and subservient, right? Harr. They're also the most diverse species on any planet. ;p Clearly I identify with the more independent and feline-esque of canines--ones sophisticated, intelligent, elegant, graceful, dignified. Who choose to bestow their undying loyalty and infinite devotion upon only the worthiest. Whose love is ultra-special because it is earned rather than automatically given. ;p
So, yeah. I dig this concept. It's basically your classic dream talking animal companion, only it's an actual inherent part of you at the same time......
Evidently people don't always get their preferences (e.g., somebody who wants, say, a lion, and gets, say, a Poodle.) Wait, say WHAT now?!?! A magnificent, glorious, noble, brilliant, athletic, fuckin' badass Caniche would be a tremendous honor and thrill...! The fiercest and most fearsome Pood laughs at the ridiculous notion of disappointment. That's a hot one. 

Very very surprised to see that daemons are usually of the opposite sex from their people. Same-sex ones can indicate that the person is possessed of "second sight," or is homosexual? xD Well, the former could certainly apply if that were my case. Now, show me all the folks with elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos...how convenient that must be. x-3 How do they stick near enough to you? What about those with heavy, slow daemons they can't carry or drag if they have to run from danger? Wouldn't such people be relatively easy to kill (especially since killing a daemon kills the person?) #pondering

11.7.20~Just introduced: Glastrier, Spectrier, & Calyrex. Legendary shadow (Luna!) & ice horses plus their rider...I mean, cool...I'm saying "'Glahs-tree-ay' et 'Speck-tree-ay,'" mmmkay. And once again I'm reminded of Sibereon, the Ice-type Eeveelution I drew before Glaceon came along. It was basically a Regice dog. c-x Probably the best design I came up with, but not the only faceted canine, hee...

11.19 intros: Regieleki (noice color), Galarian Legendary Birds (scary Articuno reminding me of the Rock-A-Doodle owls like Malamar...chicken Zapdos...badass dark-fire Moltres...)

| linkage |

Had just gathered up some recent photo ones to link to IG bc hooooomfg. So much. So many.
6.    29th b'day #pressies [idk why that one was tough to find]
7.  sassysaluki.tumblr.com [slash archive. Or "tagged." Tons of fabulous shit from APR 2015-DEC 2020. Esp. such tags as OTPs, names, surveys...]
8.   OH OH OH, my Hungarian friend visited from 1/26/18-2/3/18, and this video (in the personal-vids playlist) contains my photos+video from that week: Jenkinson’s Aquarium, fish, rays, sharks, jellies, crustaceans, penguins, harbor seal, turtles/tortoises, toads, Point Pleasant beach & boardwalk, my amaaaaazing souvenirs and purchases, Goombas, Balto statue, Josef Albers exhibit at the Guggenheim, fave beach houses, plushes/key chains, Top of the Rock (view of all NYC.)
9. GOOGDRIVE+ONEDRIVE (more in 10/27/23 comment; MOST IMPORTANT SECTION RIGHT HERE):
^ I've asked them so many gdmf times to allow you to just have one link to the entire drive, but so far the common-sense request has fallen on deaf & dumb ears...also, I found that Imageshack & especially Microsoft OneDrive are virtually the same identical thing. [additional note to self: acct info for those in georgette notebook. ~ 1d videos

*Oh, and naturally the Lisa Frank linkage <3 || youtube playlists of <33333

**9.21.20**
THE REVOLTING PB SAGA!: Photobucket is a scamming sack of shit. 16 years, 22k+ files...and all of a sudden anything over 250 per account requires a paid plan. Never mind that other sites provide unlimited free storage (or a huge limit), so nobody in their right mind will give them a cent. I obviously left somewhere between 100-something & 249 files on each of the 8 accounts, but now I'm realizing that I can't even view the files full-size as you naturally used to. They display largely within the albums, but when you double-click to see them individually, it only shows tiny thumbnails. Wtff. Then, I thought I'd just grab the links to all 8 accounts--simple, right? Of course the fuck not. Half the links I was able to figure out how to kinda get didn't even fucking work. Goddammit you scum-sucking cunts, way to be the worst 2020 event. That's quite the motherfucking achievement, but you nailed it. Glad I lj-saved the support-request-slash-rant I submitted, because there's just way too much to say about how fucking hard you're sucking the big one right now. ...okay, so apparently you have to click the thumbnail to see the image full-size in a new tab, for some reason? Why the middle step? Why is the "image detail" icon a pencil, which universally means "EDIT?!?!?!?!?" You fucktards. You shitfaced cockmasters, you donkey-raping shiteaters. Well, whatever. The primary thing is the link non-functionality. You can't link to any individual file, and only to certain albums for an unfathomable reason. Used to be able to just link to your main bucket rather than picking an album! THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS HORSEFUCKERY. Need to delete most of the producer_love account but the site is now not loading files at all...don't really wanna just delete every folder without seeing which one(s) I might be able to leave. Truly this is the worst website ever, and holy shit is that competition stiff. Just the way it promised for over fifteen years to hold your priceless memories and significant shit but then all of a sudden decides to pull this evil attempted money-grubbing shit.
~*~*~*~*
sometimes these 8 work...sometimes you have to take an album's link instead and hope that might work...horseshit.

...why can't you single-space anymore within the editor, Blogger...whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy... no.8
*~*~*~*~* 
Aiight, so forget Imageshack obviously. Now I was GOing to delete the two albums that happen to be on 1Drive, BUT in comparing the file numbers...MGM on GP=3693 vs. 3896 on 1D? PL on GP=1716 vs. 1757 on 1D? There's no earthly explanation. None. The disparities can't be accounted for. There's no way GP could've missed anything...which it better not have done on any of the other accounts either. At any rate it's a huge fucking mess like this whole clusterfuck, I'm still utterly murderous, and I wish my external drives could be online. Like a PB equivalent with a fair limit. Whatever. I'm hoping to be able to screen-record scrolling through the entire thing--time trial took almost 25 minutes. 8/ The thumbnails'll have to be left at the default size, but it'd probably be the most useful overview possible...

discovery: imageshack>>>googlephotos>onedrive. the accounts that got transferred to each were kinda random bc i just went from smallest to largest, and did is>goog>1d. tags are effin' worthless; once upon a time i tagged+titled/captioned all my pb files, and then they suddenly eliminated all of that AND the comments--except the titles, i think. looks like the feature is back in the "updated" version, but i'm gonna assume it's fresh and wouldn't have restored all the old info. whatever. i can only think of a few specific ones that were really great anyway, and they're not *necessary.* still shouldn't vanish without warning and the offer to save them all in a text file or something.
UPDATE: knew imageshack was too good to be true. fucking hell. looks like gonna have to try to transfer everything that's not on GP to GP.
Also eff the eff outta Blogger for no longer turning links into hyperlinks; instead you have to highlight/copy them...what is this godforsaken abysmal world coming to...
