you're aware Laurel is coming over yeah?

Yeah of course Tom told me, she just got here a minute ago and she brought her huge book with her. I'm not sure what she's doing with it, but she seems really excited about the kitties which is swee-

..?

Sorry give me one second, someone is at the door. We didn't invite anyone else over though?

... It's... just a package. And it's addressed to me.

I um, didn't order anything but I guess I should bring it in...

[edd-noles]

Edward it's been a long time since we've spoken, and I wouldn't be surprised if you don't remember me, but something important had happened and we need your help. I'm an old friend of your father's, and he's in danger. I'm going to get into contact with you soon.

Hey, you really shouldn't joke about stuff like this, it's kind of fucked up honestly

idk who you are but don't pretend to be friends with my dad, that's really weird man

[edd-noles]

don't get mad but you're bisexual and Matt's pansexual but it's the same thing, what's the point?

It's really not as complicated as you might think, everyone is comfortable with different labels and experiences their sexuality in a different way so I feel like its best just to mind your own business and be respectful

gender isn't a factor in whether or not I'm attracted to someone, so I go by pansexual

oh cool, me too! I prefer Bisexual though

Nice to know we have that in common

Do you see how easy that was?

[edd-noles]

loving the new pfp!!

Thank you!!! I like it a lot too!

[edd-noles]

do you guys have specific dynamic roles in the house? Or like jobs you do?

I mean we all have our own strengths and stuff if that's what you mean, it's good to have people with different skill sets so your party can handle the most problems. It also helps that most of us have at least one typically useful skill

Most of us...

[edd-noles]

That is what the dragon is for! She's also the one that opened up the wormhole in the cabinet a while back

THAT WAS A WORMHOLE? That explains how Truth got my mug I guess, but that's crazy. Tord's been trying to do that for a long while now, so it's no wonder that they're getting along so well. Ringo doesn't seem to like her too much, but her and brownie have been mostly focused on the babies so it's ok

[edd-noles]

frank?

that's laurel's familiar, he's a ferret that she's had since he was a baby, and I've never met him but from what she and Tom tell me he came be quite the handful lol

[edd-noles]

Hey if Laurel does magic and stuff, you should let her meet the kitties! apparently she even has her own familiar

that's actually a good idea, and Tom says she's been begging to come over since she found out Ringo had the kittens

she did raise frank from the time he was a baby so she might be able to help me some

[edd-noles]

How are the kitties?

Ringo says they're doing phenomenal, and apparently Brownie finally got Bruce to say dada, and they were really really excited about it which I think is kind of adorable

They've been doing fine developmentally and everything, lots of playing and running around right now, they found out about the bathroom recently and the shower seemed to terrify Tigress and Bruce

[edd-noles]

literally wasting your time with cats instead of worrying about Matt turning back into an actual vampire

bad take, stupid idiot take

Matt seems kinda fine with it? and Tord even said something about working on a cure, I assume that's what the dragon he's running around with is for, so I'm not worried about it

let me do my thing man, Matt's my friend and everything but my daughter had babies, I'm a grandpa now that's a big deal

[edd-noles]

Do the kits seem like they have favorites? Out of you four I mean

Not for the most part really, Tigress seems like she really likes Matt though, she always wants to cuddle up by him on the couch, Tord is always playing with her so she chases him around sometimes too

Neptune seems the most comfortable with Tom but I don't know if he likes Tom best, it might just be because Tom pets him and carries him around a lot

And Bruce is a little more shy, he mostly stays with Ringo and Brownie, but they give him plenty of attention so I don't worry about him or anything

[edd-noles]

A bear, a twunk, and an egg

The ideal relationship tbh

As much as I love queer terminology this sounds like the title of a children's book and it's killing me

[edd-noles]

can I please pet the kitties please

Yes! They're all vaccinated as of yesterday, so please as long as your gentle and respectful you may pet away!

but be warned, Ringo may not like being pet herself, and might decide she doesn't want the babies pet right now. and also Tigress (the orange one) might bite your hand in she's feeling playful

[edd-noles]

yeah that all definitely sounds.. familiar. I guess it's normal for a writer to put aspects from their own life into their work, or in this case making the work completely around their own lef

what doesn't make sense to me though is that Jon's self insert/stand in character is... a girl?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT TOM SAID. He seemed more concerned though, than just generally curious

he said she seemed like a very idealized version of Jon too, one that only really has the qualities he likes about himself. as in she's still short, relatively pale, very kind, and has sort of dirty blond hair. But she's described with rosy cheeks and being "healthy" instead of thin like Jon is, she doesn't have sharp teeth, her hair is longer, and most obviously, she's a girl. that's just a few off the top of my head, but it made perfect sense to me when Tom said it

Jon has completely denied that she's connected to him in any way, subconscious or not. He said the "few" similarities were just coincidences when I asked about it one time

I don't know, it's none of my business though, maybe there's some plot reasons I haven't thought about or picked up on that she would need to be a girl for, and that's all

[edd-noles]

Jon writes AND sings? That's impressive tbh

Oh wow, I don't think I've heard anything about him singing since we were like 18? He definitely used to, he was in Tom's little band and they were so cute, but not really any more that I know of

He writes really good stories though! I love them, he doesn't let most people read them but he gives them to me all the time, his main story is this cool fantasy story about a girl named Joanna and she works as a maid in this castle, but she was childhood friends with both the prince and the King's most trusted knight (who are also really close friends with each other) and is in a kind of love triangle between them, but neither of them know that she's part demon, and it's like this whole big thing. I think it's really cool.

He lets me read most of it but keeps some to himself, as an artist I understand. I'm like his number one fan though I've made plenty of drawings of the characters, and I've had Tom read some but he doesn't read that much in general so it was a bit of a struggle in itself lol

Seemed like he liked it for the most part though! And even though he doesn't read he listens to me talk about it plenty so he gets it

[edd-noles]

Is Brownie a good dad?

Yes! So far he's been very sweet and gentle with the kittens, he had to go away for a little while once they were born but now that the babies are old enough he can be around them all he wants. It seems like they like him plenty, and he adores them, so everything's pretty good

[edd-noles]

does Tom mind the three extra little furballs in the bed?

No at all usually, at first when they started wanting into the bed he seemed a tiny bit worried about hurting them or something while he slept, but he he doesn't seem to mind, he even thinks it's pretty funny when Bruce makes bread on his stomach, and just generally watching them be funny. Sometimes when they ALL wanna sleep on the bed it can be a little much
