The Arcana HCs: Babysitting Taiga

~ written for @vesuviaweekly's prompt "Familiar Swap" ~

WELP here it is, I'm boring so my irl cat Taiga is my self insert (Drue's) familiar. And as we all know, familiars do reflect their owner's feelings for the people around them ...

Julian

Generally adept at recognizing the personality in things and immediately started referring to her as "her ladyship"

Got bapped (claws in) the first time he got carried away trying to bond too fast. Gave her all of two minutes of space before resorting right back to pspspssing

Known to engage in long conversations with her (she's very vocal as far as meowing goes) and loves making up silly conversation topics (you caught him with a stray in the dumpster? no!)

Frequently ends up on the other side of the "i'm not impressed" cat stare and usually takes that as his cue to provide ear scritches

Will simply pick her up for snuggles whenever he wants them, which she will hop out of as soon as she's done (she does tolerate his affection longer than most visitors, though)

Asra

Often jokes that Taiga could just as easily be their familiar as Drue's, just like Faust. They're weirdly in sync

So. Many. Catnaps. As soon as he starts fluffing up a pillow pile, Taiga's kneading the closest fluffy blanket so she can curl up against him as soon as he lies down

One of the few people she will purr around

Knows they're an enabler and consistent source of treats

Has been known to sit on his chest, make eye contact, slowly and deliberately place a paw on his nose, and then meow pitifully until he gives her pets/treats/food/attention

Has a habit of swatting at their necklace when they play

Will allow him to dress her in whatever weird accessories he's made/sourced for her and then wake him up at 3 AM in revenge

Nadia

Nadia didn't jump straight into Taiga's personal space as soon as they met, which is why they get along so well. There's a healthy respect there

Trips to the Palace can be stressful for a cat who's not familiar with it, but visits always end up going smoothly

Likes to climb on her lap while she's talking and loaf there

This does lead to Nadia idly stroking her, which initially resulted in getting gently nipped but is now usually greatly appreciated

Drue still apologizes for the first time Nadia came to the shop, pet Taiga while she was in her lap, and then got nipped. Nadia thinks it's a great story. Taiga has no shame about it

Taiga prefers sitting in her lap/on her shoulder to Drue's while she's in meetings. They like to play into each other's regal auras

Muriel

One of her favorite napping trees. Tall, permanently warm, usually wearing some kind of fur - he's perfect

Often attempts to groom him (licking his hair/scruff) in thanks. Muriel appreciates the warm gesture but not necessarily the cat smell that gets all over him as a result

Probably the only person Taiga's never swatted at/bapped. He's too much of a calming presence for her and so hands-off that all the affection involved is cat-initiated

Freaks him out completely when she has zoomies. She's moving too fast, happily yowling at the top of her lungs, and using his shoulders as a springboard for the ceiling

Despite his apathetic attitude, he always shows up with a scrap of fish for her and has been known to carry her around like baby

Portia

Clicked from the get-go. Portia knows cats and Taiga knows safe people. There's just one problem - Pepi

To say that there was some initial tension there would be an understatement. Neither of them want to miss out on any potential affection from the humans around them

Thankfully, they do quickly discover that it's possible for cats to enjoy each other's presence, at which point Taiga enjoys visits to the cottage for Pepi more than for Portia

All four of them (Pepi, Portia, Drue, and Taiga) have healthy individual doses of chaotic impulses so getting them all together in one space quickly devolves into questionable decision making

Constantly meowing back and forth with her, which often culminates in a two-minute case of zoomies

Lucio

She met his dogs before she met him and it didn't go well

Taiga was a street cat in a rough area before Drue found her. Her fight-or-flight instinct is hardwired to fight and that's exactly what she did when Mercedes and Melchior shoved their noses at her

Those poor dogs got several hefty whacks to the noses

They get along much better now - especially when there's a surface she can chill on out of the dog's reach, just to reinforce personal space boundaries

Likes Lucio's human hand pets, but gets immediately spooked anytime his metal hand makes contact. It's cold

Will walk up to his white clothing items, wait for him to say "don't touch that", and then make eye contact while she very purposefully places a single paw on it

There's less than half an hour left and it's tied xD

Catch me working on some short hcs for this to keep my mind off it lol

hey idk if you’ll see this but i want you to know that i had a dream you were in a really bad place and shut down your account and deleted all of your works and i tried to reach out to you but couldn’t and i was SO sad.

i just wanted to let u know that ppl care about you. even some weirdo on the internet who has never met u but just really appreciates ur work. u are totally loved.

Oh anon friend, thank you so so much. This means so much to me.

I know I'm not very active on here anymore, but I promise I am still around! As for all the works - not only am I leaving those up, I'm also putting them onto Ao3 as a more efficient archive for anyone who wants to browse:

Thank you so much for going out of your way to make sure I was seen and loved. It's given me more hope and courage and it does make a difference :)

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

This isn’t a request (I know yours are closed) but I browsed The Arcana official Tumblr page the other night for a while, then I had a dream of people debating what types of horror movies & titles that the M6 would like. …I bet that Julian would love the Roger Corman adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories, and The Crow (1994). I’m not sure what the other characters would like, however.

@aster-spiral-30 oh my goodness, yes!!

How likely do you think it is that he regularly annoys the south end theater to do stage adaptations??

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

trick or treat !!

@murielsbottombitch treat!

In the years Khamgalai spent alone at the Kokhuri gravesite, her sense of time (and humor) warped slightly. The next time you visit with Muriel and see her spirit, she'll tell you about all the shrubs she named and the personalities she gave them

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

Trick or Treat! With one spooky candle on the Samhain alter wishing you and the spirts a good night <3!

@sweetestlittledarling awww blessings on you too! Treat!

One underrated habit Aisha and Salim brought over from Zadith was water lanterns. Asra had completely forgotten about it until he saw them making some to celebrate together, and sending little flickering clay candles down the waterways on mini leaf-woven boats was the first time you really felt like part of their family.

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

Twick o' Tweat!!!

@sounddrive tweat!!

One of the secrets passageways/spaces in the Palace is ... pointless. As in, it's a sigil in a long hallway that teleports you forward by about five feet. Palace staff use it all the time without realizing it, all they know is that it's surprisingly easy to trip on that smooth floor.

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

trick or treat but i bring treats for you as well

@cinsilly treat!

Mazelinka has a favorite dessert. Only Julian and Portia know what it is - Portia because she noticed Mazelinka enjoying it once and learned how to make it, Julian because he heard Portia mention that Mazelinka had a favorite and annoyed it out of her. Both the siblings use this knowledge to get out of more trouble than they should.

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

TRICK OR TREAT!!

@chanceofbrainstormz treat!

Because Vesuvia is full of canals, it's not uncommon for the Vesuvian version of a tricycle for a small child to be a little boat instead. They paddle them around the shallow side canals or hook them up behind family boats/gondolas

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

TRICK OR TREAT

@makotafi treat!

Selasi the baker chose to nurture a friendship with post-resurrection!MC because Asra asked him to keep an eye out for people trying to swindle them in the market place. He wasn't planning on viewing them like a sibling figure, but it keeps him in business and well-fed with gossip so he won't complain.

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

IM LATE WRAGHHH boops you ten times

Trick or treat 💥💥💥

@soullessseraphim treat!

The courtiers would regularly meet up in secret to indulge their nonhuman habits and complain about Lucio. This usually took place in the dungeon because it was the only way to claim that Valdemar was remotely interested/involved. Valerius put up with it so he could gather blackmail material for later.

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

trick or treat!! :3

@3xhowolves treat!

Nadia used to get under her family's skin by accidentally gaslighting them. She wanted to sneak out? She'd casually tell Nahara that she was almost done with a new mystery invention that their parents couldn't know about. Cue the whole family searching the Palace for lethal items while she snuck out in the chaos -

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

🎃🍬🍭~Trick or Treat~🍭🍬🎃

@litlunacy treat!

Muriel had to invest in a pair of tweezers shortly after getting together with MC. His fingers and palms are so calloused that he never realized how many splinters he caught in them carving wood until he accidentally stuck them while holding hands.

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

Trick or treat, Kuya !!!!

@e1i-neverrests treat!

Asra isn't what you'd call a picky eater but they still have a dislike for quite a few ingredients. Will he eat just about anything you make? Yes. If he feels safe and loved, will he whine about all the dishes with cauliflower involved as he eats them? Also yes.
