#[ thank you for sending this!!!

[pangur-and-grim]

I have been behind on the times but have just binged your blog and firstly I hope your girls feel better soon, pancreatitis is rotten! Secondly, I am in love with your son and I am SO happy about his existence! Devons are my absolute favourite cat breed and I get so excited then they come into work. Crusty old devons are my weakness.

Ps, the photo of him sobbing on the vet table had me CACKLING. I adore him. I’m so happy for you. I’m sending strength to the ladies.

Xoxo your biggest fan + her half a dozen dogs (and these two)

pancreatitis is so nasty. when they go off food, I wish there was some way to say "nooooooooo you need that to live!" and have them understand.

it's a huge relief that they're both home and eating now!

as for the new boy, he is perfectly healthy and happy, and having the first catnip trip of his young life

heard u need some headcanons!! much love bc this time of year is ROUGH 🫂

Hob got really into the queer liberation movement and has gone on to be the resident bisexual professor that all the students know is a safe person to go to and helps out with the LGBT clubs on campus.

He gets really excited to share this with Dream, who is a little confused about why it's so important (having missed much of the fight) but immediately takes interest because omg Hob is into more than ladies??

Hob hosts the club at the New Inn and Dream shows up and all the students just Know by the way those two look at each other and spend the night trying to get them to admit it to each other.

Look. LOOK. I'M. I'm very NORMAL ABOUT THIS. Did you know the bi flag was unveiled in December 5th of 1988? Did you know HOB DIDN'T MEET DREAM IN JULY 7TH OF 1989 ANYWAY HAVE A FIC

Dream doesn't get it at first. He never really did get it, but only attributed it to the need humanity had for labels, for packing things into boxes and saying this goes here and that goes there. Sometimes, it led to this goes to heaven and you go to hell. It seemed to be a very common one, too. He was beyond that; his name said it all, Dream was endless. Not he nor she, not man nor creature, he was all there was to be and the nothingness beyond it. Gender and sexuality need not apply.

Still, it meant so much to Hob, that he'd have dreams about it. Nightmares too, for nights on end, and even if Dream begged Hob to allow him to take them away, Hob always declined, always braved through them. "If you take them, I'll forget how much it all means. I'll forget why I'm still fighting."

They sat at the New Inn one afternoon, while Hob graded papers and Dream had a cup of chamomile tea, but his eyes couldn't help but focus on a shiny pin on Hob's jumper shaped like a flag, the shades of pink, purple and blue a spot of proud colour in Hob's otherwise earthy colour palette.

"It's the bisexual pride flag."

"Hm?" Dream's eyes dart up to meet Hob's, tilting his head slightly. He wasn't sure if he should feel bad for being caught, because he wasn't sure what he was looking at in the first place.

"The pin. I wear it for my students, but also for myself. The kids feel safer I guess, knowing they have at least one of their own in the faculty. Can't say it doesn't make me feel good too."

Hob has a particular tone to his voice that makes Dream's heart sing in tune to its melody. It's a fuller sense of self, maybe more than Dream ever had in regards to his own identity. "...one of their own?"

"Oh, I– Sorry, those are pretty recent." Hob straightened himself up (ha) on the chair, his lecturing posture taking over. Dream liked when he did that. He liked to hear Hob speak of things he had deep knowledge of and passion for. "This one was created in 1988 by a queer activist called Michael Page. Had the pleasure of being there when it was first unveiled, but clearly it took a long time until I was able to wear something like this out in public and not be decked by some bloody homophobe."

It was starting to sink in.

"...I'm afraid I was not present for these developments." Dream saw the look on Hob's face, like he was ready to apologise. He raised a had to stop him, waving his concern away. "As far as I can remember, queer was not a form of self identification, but only a way to shun out those outside the established norm."

"Ah, yes. We reclaimed it, though. Or are reclaiming it. The 80s were crazy. All of them were, for me." Hob smiled at Dream, at their shared secret and at their years of now reestablished friendship.

"I think you're lonely."

Could it have been....? Could he have meant...?

"What does it mean for you, then?" Dream asks in a way he hopes sounds inconspicuous, pointing at the pin. He was hesitant to ask, afraid to be getting it all wrong.

"For me? It means I love whoever I love. Man, woman, either or neither."

The pride coming from Hob's words filled Dream with hope, something he had not felt in a long, long time. The look in his face then shifted onto something else, something he didn't quite understand. "...what about you? That is, if you're okay with talking about that. I don't want to overstep. Last thing I want is for you to walk out–"

"I won't, Hob." Dream knew Hob had reason for feeling that way. "I don't believe the terminology you have could define my experience. I have laid with mortals and gods alike, and have wore many faces and names. It is beyond human comprehension."

Hob seems takes a moment to think about what he'd just heard. Dream feels like he might have thrown too much at his human friend. "...I think I get it. But, and tell me to bugger off I'm wrong, do you prefer to be a particular way? To be with a particular sort of being?"

Dream. Didn't have an answer.

He never thought of what he preferred. He'd never felt in need of any sort of outside validation, but. That was a lie. He needed it. He just never cared to look for it.

Hob's smile was what broke him out of the spell of his own self doubt. "It's okay if you don't have an answer, you know. It takes people a loooong time to get it, it took me nearly 600 years, you know? Ah! You know what? I've got an idea–" He reached inside his brown messenger bag, pulling out a colourful piece of paper, handing it over to Dream. A pamphlet for a meeting. "We're having a meeting for the uni's LGBT clubs here at the Inn. I want this to be a safe space for the kids, and to get them to connect with other folks in the community, share their experiences. It's tomorrow, and I'd love it if you could make it. I'm sure they would too."

Dream took the pamphlet in hands, looking at the bright colours and bold fonts, taking in every bit of information Hob was giving him and trying to fill in the gaps of the questions he wouldn't dare ask. After a moment, he looked up at Hob, allowing himself a small smile. "I shall be in attendance, then."

Kotone had a lot of work ahead of her. She had fallen a little behind on her studying thanks to clubs, SEES stuff, and other such important stuff. To maintain her high marks, she actually studied pretty hard. She didn't just have an easy time. Her hardest class was history. She was going through her textbook right now I. The first floor lobby. She had a lot of books on the table. She almost didn't notice the blond robot looking over her shoulder. It actually made her jump when she did! She quickly recognized Aigis and calmed herself before speaking. "Aigis, you gotta make a noise so people aren't shocked by you sneaking up on them. Some act before they act. Like swinging when shocked."

Unprompted Asks || Always Accepting!!

"I was unaware that being silent was a bad thing. In Tartarus, we often try to be silent to avoid unwanted encounters with Shadows, do we not?" Aigis asked in response. "And I can defend myself easily if one were to attack me. I would simply eliminate them."

Of course, she would never attack one of her fellow SEES teammates. But that wasn't what Kotone had stated.

"I will attempt to be louder when approaching you next time. But may I ask... What are you doing? I have seen Kirijo-senpai and Sanada-senpai doing similar things at this table. What is the point of reading this book over and over again while writing things down in your notebook?"

[covenofthearticulate]

What do you think Louis likes least about Court? (And best, if you feel like extrapolating on that, too.)

Oooh good question!

If we're being totally honest, I've never imagined that Louis would like the court very much. I've broken my own heart a few times trying to write drabbles in which Louis expresses just how homesick he is to Lestat because truthfully I don't think Louis will ever see Auvergne as his true home. It's crowded and isolated and cold and he doesn't like to be treated like a consort and he hates it when Lestat's schedule gets so booked with all his duties and it's exhausted blocking his mind from everyone all the time and and and...the list goes on.

But honestly I think the thing Louis hates the most about Court life is just how ISOLATING it is. In my mind, Louis is very much a city-dweller. He NEEDS to be around humans, whether that's in New York, San Francisco, or New Orleans. He needs to be able to wander around and listen in on conversations and see new art and hear new ideas and just exist among mortals. Without that connection, however fleeting, I feel like it's really easy for Louis to feel untethered and a little crazy.

What do you think coral and mizzen (or the rest of the tributes in general) reaction would be if they learned about the cannibalism thing Persephone did?

okay, i’m not saying everyone needs to go read this specific chapter about coral…but everyone needs to go read this specific chapter about coral.

for mizzen- i really think she would hold back on telling him that, at least before the games. but i do have a mizzen-lives-au headcanon that she tells him about it after the games when he’s struggling to cope with what he did to survive.

i think in that scenario, he would actually find a lot of comfort in hearing that from persephone. it would help him feel less alone and less like a monster because if persephone, who has showed him so much kindness, did that to survive then surely what he did doesn’t doom him to be a monster forever?

i think for most of the rest of the tributes that don’t know her- they would react with horror and judgement. it would reaffirm their beliefs that the capitol people are all soul-less monsters.

[neteyam-loak-kiri-and-tuk]

sully kids but whenever their arguments go on for too long they start squabbling in english. tsireya has no idea of what to do when lo'ak and kiri are loudly arguing in a language she doesn't understand and to make it worse neteyam gets involved and by the end jake or neytiri (also speaking english) have to break it up

and lo'ak and kiri totally teach the metkayina kids english swears

Oh 100%

I've actually been thinking about how the comedic potential of the Sully kids knowing English when no one else does could be amazing and this is exactly the kind of thing they would use it for.

Lo'ak and Kiri would absolutely do that and Neteyam would be both amused and mortified that those are the first words they teach the other kids. The real question is, are Lo'ak and Kiri telling them they're swear words or would they think it's funny if the other kids thought the swear words meant something else?

Also imagine Tonawari asking Jake what this random English phrase he heard Aonung yell at Rotxo means and Jake has to explain that he just said like seven swear words.

I saw that you had a kakapo slugcat and I want you to know that makes me so happy I really like rainworld and kakapos are my favorite bird so now I'm just sitting here. quietly happy. and I think you should know about this. your kakapo slugcat delights me. if you wouldn't mind could you tell me about them?

omg this makes me so happy!! I’m so glad I could bring someone joy with my art, I’ve always wanted to do that, and it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling thinking about that, thank you for telling me :D

ok so about my kakapo slugcat!!

Really its just my kakapo sona but as a slugcat because I got into rw but I do have a little campaign idea for them! So first off, its abilities! It would be able to glide, kinda like real kakapos, climb up really tall vertical walls and be able to track things with a strong smelling ability, and it would also be able to blend into greener backgrounds when hunted.

It would be also friendly and curious, with a higher reputation among scavengers but other creatures would be more likely to go after it. It would be nocturnal, coming out at night time and be completely vegetarian, with a small amount of food pips needing to be filled. It would be fat like the gourmand but able to run faster because of its strong legs and able to store a large amount of food pips.

Now for what kind of region it lives in! My idea for now, was that it would live in a region based on kauri forests like in nz, with tall trees and other nz based foods that you could eat. There might other regions, like a more mountainous one with snowfall or something.

I would totally mod this if I could but I dunno how to code haha maybe one day though.

that’s all I’ve been able to think of right now, I might have more ideas later, if it’s a bit long and rambling, sorry! It’s just sorta the first time I’ve put these ideas to words so I’m not 100% sure how to word it correctly, anyway hope you like what I have to say on it and also SUPER SORRY FOR TAKING FOREVER I’ve just been distracted and procrastinating but I finally did this so here you go ^_^

I saw one of your posts about Rage and Hope as aspects, and I think there’s some interesting synergy, or at least a sort of… I’m not sure how to put it, but let me try.

Rage, as said, is an aspect that has the potential to depower with the power of calling out bullshit. I think it would work well with a Mind player in that sense, assisting through an understanding of logic and how to deconstruct faulty logic.

Hope is an aspect that can believe with all its power to make things real. A Heart player, who has an understanding of Sincerity, can help them be truer to their beliefs and not hide as much behind something they aren’t.

Of course, these positives can easily become negatives. But it’s an interesting idea how aspects can both improve and negatively influence eachother depending on how it’s implemented.

Apologies for the length.

Don't apologize, this is really good!!!

I think the kind of synergy that can be explored between players of different aspects is really fun. Bringing up Mind and Heart again, I think they can even make interesting combinations if you reverse them. A Heart player could provide balance to a Rage player's tendency towards cynicism, and a Mind player can, with logic, influence the beliefs of a Hope player and point their boundless belief in the right direction.

Now don't get me wrong, with these effects on each other they could also be absolute poison to each other instead. It really depends on the players themselves, and how much they're willing to learn from each other.

It gets even more complex when you bring classes into it, too, and that's not even getting into Fraymotifs, a woefully underexplored mechanic I think.

Green eyes stared at Lestat with a terrified gaze; her body was frozen - she looked like a deer in the headlights. It was late, almost two in the morning, and last minute - Betty had a mission. She was not aware what the mission was, but Betty knew she could not slack - she had to be there as soon as possible. So, she grabbed her cell phone and put on her sneakers - heading to the front door. And just when she thought she could sneak out successfully - there was Lestat. Crap.

Her communicator was wrapped around her left wrist, a bright white light shined on its small rectangular screen. 'Atomic Betty, are you almost to the ship? Please, hurry!' A static voice was heard from the communicator, causing the redhead to slowly close her eyes. Double crap.

Slowly, her eyes opened as she pulled her wrist towards her face; her finger pressed on the small button on her communicator. "Atomic Betty, speaking - just give me a minute, Sparky." Her gaze remained on Lestat as she spoke. How the heck was she suppose to explain this to him? Better yet, would he actually keep this a secret? No one could know - Heck, not even her parents knew.

wait. wait. wait. ive been staring at ur latest comic for awhile now and i think i've noticed something about the colors? which are amazing, first of all- just gotta get that out there cuz i adore that soft pink and deep green combo

but i just realized that throughout most of the comic u use both in equal parts it seems. to separate bg + fg and such, to highlight characters/objects, etc.

but then when vash gets back to their room, all the walls are that dark green. and, bit by bit, the pink totally falls off. by the end, it's nothing but constant dark green as vash starts to cry

but then wolfwood slams in and he's backed by that soft pink. and suddenly the comic is nothing BUT pink. soft lines and whites and gentle pink tones EVERYWHERE to just. SO tastefully highlight the little details.

LIKE. WAS THIS INTENTIONAL?! i almost wanna guess that it wasn't since all those green panels w vash crying are all closeups focused on his expression so it makes sense to just put the simple green behind it and all attention on him so the pink just isn't Needed

BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE EFFECT IS SO MASTERFUL THAT I WANNA BELIEVE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INTENTIONAL

HEHE..... first of all, thank you for looking at my comic so closely, THAT'S LIKE... REALLY SWEET and a huge compliment to hear, thank u thank u

and yes, it was intentional, especially more towards the end!!! in general, the colors are meant to serve as a mood indicator, so a balance of them in a scene would just mean a neutral "okay-ness" and have a functional serve to separate background / foreground / subject matter... deep green signifies introspection or incoming sadness (especially on pg5 when vash cries), and pink signifies wolfwood, which, not an emotion but he is happiness, someone that helps vash lose his doubts in a matter of seconds -- which is why those last few pages are just pink white and lines, and the panels are gone for the majority of it. i wanted to show their unity and togetherness!

while vash still has his issues of just Not saying anything about his loneliness, his feelings are alleviated temporarily with wolfwood's presence and he's just grateful that his paranoia didn't become true, and that wolfwood is genuine, true to his word, when he means he'll be following vash/staying with him. even though it's mission-bound, vash would probably still feel guiltily comforted by that fact.

I'M GLAD IT WAS PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE IN THIS COMIC because i definitely could've pushed it more... i figured it was a minor thing that not a lot of ppl would care for, but more ppl enjoyed it and noticed the colors than i thought, so i'm glad it worked out!!!

Has Copperhead's eyesight changed at all as his mutation has progressed?

While Copperhead lost the ability to close his eyes, his sight improved significantly, making him able to perceive his surroundings much more clearly in low levels of light than ordinary humans can. Not only that but the cones in his eyes are much more receptive to colours in these conditions - snakes aren't renowned for having great eyesight but Copperhead is built different, quite literally since even in near total darkness, he can perceive blue and green when most other nocturnal creatures are limited to black and white! His eyes are also great at handling UV lighting, be it high levels during the day or low, low levels at night? Copperhead is comfortable operating at either time of day, even when living in sunny places like his native state of Arizona but rapid changes can and will cause temporary blindness since Copperhead cannot close his eyes against sudden flashes. This temporary state of blindness hinders him less than you'd expect; he goes through this during shedding periods, eyes filming up and glazing over when his skin is preparing to renew but getting flashbanged hurts and will almost certainly piss him off. During the day, he can see about as well as a human with perfect eyesight and very good ability to track moving objects, therefore responding much more quickly due to his Metahuman capabilities but it's at night when his abilities truly comes into play, making him a much more formidable hunter when others are stumbling around blind in the dark.

here r some incoherent tribute thoughts from my modern au fic that im writing

- tanner and brandy both own horses, brandy's horse is called chestnut and tanner's horse is called leo

- tanner is also an instructor at his stable and tries to teach treech (omg teach treech??) how to ride horses but treech is terrified of them and can't stop sneezing

- lami also has a horse (called goldie) but goes to a different stable, tanner immediately beefs her bc of this

- sheaf goes to the same stable as them since she also has a horse and does showjumping, her horses name is mabel

- treech is lowk scared of sheaf

(sorry for all the horse related lore can u tell i do horse riding)

- coral and tanner are flatmates (britain warning)/roommates and coral wants to dye her hair (even more red) and tanner's like "yeah i can do it" and he screws it up SO BAD and coral has a go at him for the next hour

- sol does all of coral's ear piercings bc shes professional

- lucy gray orders the same thing everyday at the café coral works at, they both have giant crushes on eachother and lg's order is the only one that coral can memorise, but coral thinks lg only comes to the café because she really loves mocha (told this one to v so u may recognise it!!)

- coral does treech's eyeliner

- lamina makes hand painted pottery!!

- lamina has a cat called olive

- tanner, treech and coral have been best friends since year 9 / 8th grade (i think that's the equivalent sorry if it isn't 😭)

- coral & mizzen are both irish

uhhh that's all i can think of as of now there may be more that i randomly come up with but idk!!

omg cannot wait to read that!!!

lamina has such horse girl energy and omg the lamina & tanner is beef i love. i swear, i love anytime they have beef i just eat that right up.
