ik you just wrote for Kurt but if I could request some sfw headcanons for him? 👉🏽👈🏽 he'd be such a cuddly man especially with that tail of his

Sfw! Nightcrawler/GN!Reader

YES OFC!!! I was just thinking about this !! With how cuddly he was in the latest episode it had me all giddy and shit AAUGHH!! THIS MAN!!!

I also may or may not have gotten carried away with the fic half of this because I'm actually in love with him.

-Ps- @bl1ngringz You sent an ask for more Kurt, and I'm working on more but I figured I'd tag you in this one!

TWs: none that I can think of atm.

Touch is 100% one of Kurt’s love languages. If you're close to him, he's going to be touching you in one way or another

He really likes to wrap his tail around your waist to pull you closer to him, and it's always surprising because how is his tail that strong?? The sensation of his tail being wrapped around you in one shape or form starts to become such a comforting sensation.

If you're anxious and picking and your fingers in a social situation, he'll take hold of your hand and press a kiss to your palm, and if you're less comfortable with pda, he'll snake his tail in between your hands instead. Afterwards he always checks your hands and cuticles, just in case.

Sometimes he'll have really rough days and will just really need you to hold him. He'll teleport you out of your office if he feels like you've been gone too long and he starts to worry about you. It's surprising at first, but you quickly get over it when the furball snuggles into you, quietly pouting about how long you've been gone. It's easy to tell other things are on his mind, but you know he enjoys the silence when you choose not to press him, and simply hold him tightly.

Kurt isn't just a cuddle bug. He's a cuddle MONSTER. On the couch? He'll plop down on top of you, falling asleep on you like a cat who only ever manages to fall asleep right when you need to pee. In bed? Again, no pee breaks. He usually has such a tight grip on you, only able to fall asleep buried in your arms. It doesn't matter how hot it is, if you roll away he'll feel bad. He knows you don't hate him and that you're just moving in your sleep but :( come back. He can't sleep without you!

You wouldn’t consider yourself a morning person, but sometimes you’d wake up and simply be too restless to fall back asleep. Sometimes it was anxiety, other times excitement, but today you woke up simply content. Kurt’s arms were wrapped around you loosely, which was a surprise. He’s normally fully wrapped around you, limbs tangled tightly with your own, tail wound around your wrist, ankle, or hand in his sleep. You smile as you turn around, brushing hair out of his face. He doesn’t even stir, nor lean into the warmth of your hand. You’d be freaking out if it weren’t for his steady breathing, but the two of you had a rough couple of days. If he’s sleeping this deeply, he deserves the rest.

It’s easy to slide out of his arms, quietly padding out of the bedroom barefooted. You flinch when you reach the cold wood floors of the hallway, early spring still inconsistent with its bouts of cold weather. After quietly closing the door, you make your way to the living room on the search for a pair of slippers. You had a bad habit of losing them, sometimes stealing Kurt’s instead, but you find yours set aside neatly. You smile as you slip them on, knowing that you most certainly weren’t the one who put them there.

It’s still dark outside when you start to preheat the oven, and you know you must be up way too early. You laugh a little, with how early Kurt tends to rise, you can only imagine the time. You glance at the oven clock and notice it’s a little after 5 am. You grimace just a little, deciding to ignore it for now. Might as well make breakfast.

You feel like you’ve forgotten how to make breakfast food. Kurt always manages to beat you to it, waking you up in the morning with the smell of coffee and baked goods. You used to feel bad about it, telling him that he didn’t have to. That he didn’t have to go through with the effort. You felt guilty about such a simple thing, feeling like an inconvenience to him. That feeling didn’t last long, however. Kurt had insisted that you were worth the effort, worth his love, and much more. You don’t fight him on it anymore, having taken over lunch preparations instead. He still tries to beat you to that too, though. It’s become a competition as of late, and you smile in a giddy manner, excited to see his pout when he realizes you managed to beat him to breakfast.

    The sun has risen by the time you’ve finished the biscuits and set them out to cool. You’re scrambling some eggs when a tail wraps around your waist and a warm chest presses against your back. Kurt nuzzles into your shoulder, pressing a chaste kiss to the skin. 

    “Guten morgen.” His morning voice is groggy, and to be honest, he sounds like he’s about to fall back asleep right here in the kitchen, holding onto you like a pillow.

“Good morning,” You giggle, turning your head to kiss him sweetly. He’s pouting when you pull away, leaning his cheek on your shoulder.

“You weren’t in bed when I woke up.” Kurt mopes. You mimic his pout with a poorly hidden smile, kissing him a few more times. They were chaste, as you didn't want to get distracted and burn the eggs.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t sleep, and I didn't want to wake you up.” You turn your attention back to the eggs in the pan, and Kurt sighs dramatically at your words, beginning to smile a bit himself. You see an arm sneakily reach over to take the spatula out of your hands, but you’re quick to hold it away from him. He smiles widely when he’s caught, pulling you flush to his chest as he tries to snatch it again with his other hand.

“No!” You giggle. “Kurt, stop it! I’m not letting you finish the eggs!” You may have the willpower to keep the spatula away, but Kurt still has the upper hand with longer arms and an extra limb. His laughs are infectious and he fights you for the utensil.

“Penance, then! For leaving me in a cold bed, I could have gotten sick, you know?” You gasp as Kurt manages to slip the spatula from your grasp. He rejoices in victory, holding it above your head as he turns back to the eggs. He kisses you on the cheek, holding you squarely in his grasp as he finishes breakfast for you, as he always does.

Today was a good morning indeed.

for your event: can I request seth and q, p, z please? tysm!!

i've been on such a seth kick recently for some reason so i'm taking any excuse to write for him main event page - event masterlist

P: PDA - do they like PDA? how do they react to it from you? When it comes to more innocent, basic PDA, Seth is all for it. Hand holding, hugs, light kisses, compliments and petnames, it's all stuff that makes him really happy whether you're in private or in public. He likes when people can tell at a glance that the two of you are together, and besides, he's such an earnest and straight-forward guy - he's not trying to put on a persona to anyone, he loves you a lot and isn't going to deny himself the pleasure of your affection. But with every step past the basics, he gets even more flustered. He won't ever stop you (unless you catch him on patrol and you're feeling mischievous) because he definitely enjoys it, but he's blushing like an idiot and completely forgets what he was saying. Kiss him with tongue in public, or heaven forbid in front of his coworkers, he becomes a puddle of a man; can't help but melt into the kiss but the fact you're in public is in the back of his mind so he's bright red when you pull away, tries to start like twenty sentences at once but just gets out some garbled sound, tries to give you an annoyed look but he just ends up looking lovesick and pleading (which is exactly how he feels, he could never get annoyed at you, especially not within thirty seconds of your lips on his)

Q: Quirk - what's a little oddity / beige flag they have in relationships? When the two of you are hanging out around the house, Seth has a tendency to follow you around. It'll basically always happen when you're having a conversation, where you can walk around and he'll follow you while talking, but a lot of the time it'll be just when the two of you are just sitting together doing your own separate thing and you get up to do something. He just has an instinct to be where you are, even if he's still scrolling on his phone while doing it. It's cute most of the time, but sometimes you'll need the toilet and he'll trail after you, barely paying attention until you stop and stare at him until he snaps out of it and realises that he's standing in the doorway of the bathroom. Then he'll get out of the way and let you pee in peace.

Z: Zzzzzzz - how do they sleep with you? what's it like to share a bed with them? Seth sleeps pretty peacefully, but also pretty lightly. Between his job keeping him aware of his surroundings and being a cat Thiren, a proper deep sleep is quite rare for him. He sleeps deeper with you, though, the comfort (both physical and psychological) of having you beside him lulls him into full relaxation. However, if you move around a lot in your sleep, he will likely at least partially wake up from it - though he is one of those lucky sods that can fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow, so as soon as you're settled and comfortable again he'll doze back off like nothing happened. When it comes to sleeping positions he's basically happy as long as he's holding you, but if he had to choose, it'd be when you're facing each other, legs intertwined and his face nuzzled into your hair; the smell of your shampoo and your soft breath on his collarbone being the first and last thing he experiences every day makes him smile immensely, to the point it's not uncommon for you to wake up to him almost grinning in his sleep.

after reading the “you’re not rafe’s girlfriend but…” prompt i NEED a jj version PRETTY PLEASE🫶🏽

୭ 🍥 ✧˚. ᵎᵎ 🎀

you’re not jj’s girlfriend, but…

he’s smoking you out for free every single time, sitting up right next to him with none other than sativa by jhene aiko playing on his shitty eight dollar speaker, giving you the full princess treatment. he even holds the blunt to your lips, knuckles brushing against them. “see how nice i am to you? lettin’ you get lipgloss allll over the blunt?”

he’s giving you his only helmet so you can ride safely on the back of his bike, glancing at his mirror to see you happily bobbing around like a little bobblehead behind him, clutching his shirt. he even makes sure to fasten it for you, giving the helmet a little knock with his knuckles when he’s done, asking “you ready to ride, sweetcheeks?” as he climbs aboard.

he lets you climb inside his oversized hoodie with him when you’re cold, the both of you laughing as you stretch the fabric, bodies pressed together sharing the warmth. “you know i don’t mind clingy but this is takin’ it to new extremes.” sending you into another giggle fit.

he lets you sleep in his bed, and is more than happy to be woken up by you in the night because your tits are just so sore and you need his magic hands again! “pr-promise i won’t tell the others.” you mewl, trying not to outright moan when his big rough hands slide up your shirt and rub at the fat of your boobs, thumbing over the nipple. “i know babydoll, lay back and relax why don’t you, papa j’s got this.”

he will take any chance to let you hold his hand, but never reach out himself. he’s got issues, and he’s told you multiple times “baby i can’t be your boyfriend, i’m all fucked up in the love department.” which of course doesn’t stop the two of you from acting like a couple anyways. he holds your hand during pogue movie night when the horror movie gets too scary, he holds your hand when helping you climb aboard the HMS Pogue for another ridiculous outing, he even holds your hand in the night when you tell him you need to pee but you’re scared of the dark. you don’t let go even when you’re tinkling in the dimly lit bathroom at the chateau.

he will share a seat with you on john b’s porch, chin tucked against your shoulder as you scroll through tiktoks on your phone. “that one’s so you.” he points out when you scroll onto a video of a ratty little chihuahua. the next video is of a cat pooping in his litter tray. “thats you.” “wow, rude.”

he will eat your pussy so sloppy and stuff you with three fingers just to make you cum multiple times when you open up to him about how your ex thought oral was weird. he’s competitive okay! he just had to show you what you were missing out on!

you’re not jj’s girlfriend, but he’s so in love with you.

Every day I wake up and remember that Toki is a certified crazy cat lady is a day worth living. I have so much to say about Toki and his beautiful kitty, Really Cool Cat.

Toki loved that cat but that cat also loved Toki. THAT CAT LOVED TOKI SO MUCH I WILL NOT STAND FOR ANYTHING ELSE!

Toki adored that damn cat with every fiber of his being. Even when they went on vacation, that damn cat went with him. But not only did the cat come along, that cat stayed by his side and trusted him. How the fuck else do you get a cat on a jet ski without is scratching the hell out of you? Also, Toki grabs him before the Jet ski crashes. If that cat didn't want to be with Toki, it would have made it very clear that he didn't want to be near Toki. Were they responsible? No. Was he loved? YES!

Even when they came home, that cat was just as hungover as the band was, and yet he was still in Toki's lap. LOOK AT THEM, THEY ARE SO FUNNY! You know that saying that pets resemble their owners? Well guess what, he resembles Toki.

And when Toki is nervously telling the band about his idea, who is in his arms? That's right HIS CAT! HIS BABY! IF THAT DAMN CAT DIDN'T WANT TO BE NEAR TOKI AFTER EVERYTHING, HE WOULDN'T BE THERE! BUT HE IS! HE'S STILL LOVINGLY IN HIS ARMS, WHICH BY THE WAY, IS HARD! KEEPING A CAT THAT STILL IN YOUR ARMS ALL OF THE TIME IS HARD! THAT CAT WANTS TO BE HELD BY HIM! ALSO, CUNT! LOOK AT THEM! LOVE!

DONT GET ME STARTED ON HIS DEATH!

TOKI LOST HIS FUCKING MIND WHEN HE PASSED AWAY! SCREAMED THAT HE WAS HIS BEST FRIEND AND THEN FAINTED, LIKE A TRUE CRAZY CAT PERSON! Toki LOVES his fucking cat, LOVES HIM! When I saw him faint for the first time, I got emotional. I WOULD LOSE MY MIND IF I FOUND MY BABY DEAD! Also, I bet you $100 that Really Cool Cat was the easiest cat to get a pee sample from. I don't care, a cat that well behaved and loved absolutely would tolerate pissing in a cup.

And then we get to the SONG! ARE YOU JOKING WITH THE PURRING IN THE BEGINNING??? LOOK AT HIM! TOKI IS CRADDLING THAT BABY! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CRADDLE A CAT AND GET THEM TO PURR? THAT CAT IS LOVING EVERY SECOND OF TOKI ATTENTION! TOKI LOVED HIM SO MUCH, TALKED ABOUT HOW MUCH HE MADE HIM HAPPY, HOW HE LOVED HIS FUR, HOW HE MADE HIS LIFE BETTER, HOW MUCH HE MEANT TO HIM! TOKI LOVES HIM SO MUCH THAT HE DOESN'T EVEN USE THE PAST TENSE WHEN HE SAYS HE LOVES HIM! HE SAYS, "I loves you so." LOVE BITCH! THAT KITTY LOOKS LIKE HE'S MAKING BISCUITS! BISCUITS!!!!! BISCUITS MEANS HE LOVES HIM BACK!

AND TOKI IS ABLE TO PUT HIM AGAINST HIS CHEEK AND HE DOESN'T REACT! EVEN HOW HE IS HOLDING HIM IS LOVINGLY! AND THAT CAT IS JUST LETTING HIS SMASH THEIR CHEEK TOGETHER BECAUSE HE LOVES TOKI SO MUCH!

THIS CAT LOVES TOKI! LOOK AT HIM! HE IS A BABY!

Toki is so crazy that he BUILT this cat's first coffin WITH CARE! LOOK AT THAT CRAFTSMANSHIP! ONLY THE BEST FOR HIS LITTLE BOY! BITCH IS THAT WOOD? METAL? IDK BUT IT LOOKS LIKE GOLD! AND HE BUILT IT BY HIMSELF IN HIS ROOM! TOKI IS A HANDY LITTLE FELLA AND HE'S USING HIS SKILLS TO BURY HIS BELOVED CAT! HE GAVE HIM EARS!

And when it was all said and done, Toki made sure his baby was put someplace where EVERYONE will come see him. HE'S MAKING THE BAND SAY GOODBYE! HE IS WAVING GOODBYE TO HIS BABY!

LOOK AT THE CRAFTSMAN SHIP OF THAT STATUE! AND IT'S NOT JUST ONE, IT'S LIKE 5 OR SO? HE GRIEVED HIM SO MUCH THAT HE GAVE HIM 5 STATUES TO BE BURRIED IN! 100% this cat's statue survived AOTD, I KNOW IT DID!

casey + alex vs. smartphones

when bored or taking a break from reviewing her case notes, casey plops down on the couch (most of the time accompanied by a beloved bag of potato chips) scrolling through instagram reels of cat videos that she sometimes sends to alex.

alex calls casey out from the dining table where she’s preparing her cases and yells at her to stop sending her stupid videos because her phone keeps pinging. under grumpy breath, alex opens casey’s messages to watch the videos she sent. she smiles and wonders whether it is time for them to try and adopt a pet.

other things casey does with her smartphone:

1. casey learns new recipes by watching youtube videos so she could impress alex with her cooking skills. she also browses tagged restaurants on instagram reels so she could take alex there if she thinks they’re worth it.

2. she leaves movie reviews on letterboxd, especially if the ending of a movie really upset her

3. when she’s antsy, she plays harvest moon/stardew valley

4. casey has pinterest boards that she updates regularly: “date with alex ❤️”, “small tattoo ideas”, “poems that remind me of alex ❤️”, “stupid memes”

5. she has a reddit account but never posts. she uses it just to read the ridiculously funny and the questionably morbid.

casey’s google search history:

how to handle anxiety symptoms / sous vide vs. pressure cooking / are all orange cats crazy / gone girl actress / is orange from the color or the fruit / do fish pee / is bloodbending illegal / duck penis / date night ideas / is mayonnaise better for grilled cheese / padded sliding mats / jurassic park survival guide / new ways to pleasure your girlfriend / silly cat names / sneaky ways to ask your girlfriend to marry you / will our cat attempt to eat our pet fish if we decide to also keep fish pets / gelato vs. ice cream / what to give wife for first anniversary

things alex does with her smartphone:

(the first thing alex does in the morning after brushing her teeth is checking whether she has important emails that need to be urgently responded to)

1. she has a binaural beats/nature sounds app so she can listen to them to help her with anxiety when casey is not around

2. her mobile games of choice are (a) duolingo - to channel her competitiveness and always get to number 1 on leaderboards; (b) merge cooking; (c) nyt games - to pass time when she can’t sleep

3. casey encouraged alex to start journaling to help relieve some symptoms of anxiety. for convenience, alex uses the notion app as a semi-journal, semi-to-do list. at the end of a tiring day and esp if casey is on a work trip, she scribbles a brief narrative of how her day went and how it made her feel. sometimes, she shares her notes to casey.

4. convenience apps: uber, uber eats, doordash, pocket yoga, skyscanner, wise, paypal, opentable, airbnb, booking.com

5. alex has subscription to both apple music and spotify. she insists that sound quality is better in apple music but spotify’s user interface is friendlier. she has different playlists for each mood, and made playlists for casey. she hasn’t shared all those playlists to her though.

alex’s google search history:

are there any advantages to castling queenside? / how do you politely ask someone for their instagram account but as a friend? / what does it mean when young people say that “this is sending me”? / how to tell your girlfriend you love her without having to say it explicitly? / are intrinsic motivations learned? / what restaurant serves the best grilled cheese in manhattan? / list of fragrances with subtle sillage appropriate to wear at work / what signs to look out for which indicates that your girlfriend wants to marry you? / list of the most romantic places for honeymoon / best galleries to visit while in Barcelona / how hard is it to raise a child?

AITA for telling my friend's husband to stop claiming he had a mental illness for his own benefit?

I know the title really makes it sound bad, and maybe it is because I'm actually conflicted now.

I (26f), Grace (27f), and Will (26m) are the key players to the story. They had a baby almost a year ago, and I love her. I am the best unofficial aunt and official godparent- but that is neither here nor there.

I have stayed at their place before and I also have been at hotels, if I stay at their place I try to pay them and they decline. This last time I visited, I stayed at their place because Will wanted to take Grace on a date and get a hotel somewhere so I would watch the baby.

However, Will has just increasingly pissed me off claiming he has OCD and needs to be accommodated. I helped fold laundry, he told me it wasn't right and redid everything I did that was his- fine, we all fold things differently.

Grace pulled me into their bedroom one time to have a private and intense conversation that last over an hour and I sat on his side of the bed. He stripped the bed and put new sheets on and then yelled at Grace for allowing that as "my germs" were covering the bed. Grace felt bad because she didn't know he would care, I felt upset he yelled at her since he had never communicated with her, nor would I have done that if I had known.

Grace has movies displayed alphabetically, and it has ALWAYS been this way every time I have been over. Baby grabbed the shelf and they fell. I fixed the shelf, and put them all back. Will came in the room, saw it, became upset and claimed I was doing it wrong and effecting his OCD. He changed it to genre's, which is fine but it has never been that way. He claimed it had and I was mistaken.

Couldn't change the Baby's diaper because "what if fecal germs get on me?" He has gotten mad at Grace for not cleaning the right way, always falling back on germs being his big "issue" in OCD.

But I've never seen him actually have a compulsion? I have anxiety that can be debilitating at times... for example i have to lock my door 4 times each night for me to feel safe. I have a specific routine I do before bed and if I dont I panic. I got in a wreck two months ago, and now I can't drive that route. Maybe I have OCD maybe not, I know I have anxiety though.

But then Will goes and claims to have OCD and does...nothing. It feels really random to me?? Says his big issue is germs, yet can handle when the cat pees on the floor and can handle cat litter. Got a second cat, a kitten, who is still learning the litter box and does not care one bit and cleans it up.

Will's friend got drunk and laid down on his bed. Will laughed at how drunk he was and helped him stay in the guest room. Went to bed almost 15 minutes later and never changed the sheets or anything like he did when I sat there.

Has shared water bottles with friends (Grace would make sense, they literally had a kid together). He has dropped food on the floor then ate it. Will has made fun of Grace when she cooks, because she has to have steak well done because she got food poisoning one time and has been afraid since, which he knows, but wants his steak rare.

Anyways, I feel he is lying about OCD and using it to justify his actions which pisses me off. Grace has called him out for the double standard before. Grace has also tried to encourage him to get therapy, which he refuses. Grace does give him well grace when he does seem to be anxious to do something (like the movies, she shrugged it off and said if it makes him feel better sure).

The final straw was they were at MY place this past weekend, and I noticed how he kept staring at my pictures hanging on the wall. I already had a terrible day and was on edge, which they both knew.. He ignored our conversation and got up and took down a picture. I asked him what he was doing. He said his "OCD is acting up" because it wasn't in line with the rest of the pictures. I said it was a design choice (for a mental image, imagine three pictures in a row, picture one and picture three are the same shape and size hung at exactly the same level, while picture two is hung above that level somewhat, so it kind of looks like "^" with the points being the pictures, but the middle is not as pronounced). Will told me I was a terrible interior designer.

I'll admit, I saw red because it felt like he just wanted to have a chance to insult me. I told him he was a dick and using mental illness as an excuse to be one. I told him that if his OCD is that debilitating to go to therapy, but it seemed to me he was an asshole just trying to use it to justify his actions. He called me an asshole and a bigot and looked to Grace for comfort. Grace said that Will had no say in my design choices, but that I could have found a better way to tell him. Will didnt like that answer and stormed out and left my house.

Grace is now being told by Will to drop me as a friend. She won't. It is causing me a lot of anxiety because I know it is causing a lot of stress in their marriage and I don't want to be the cause of it. Will is adamant I apologize while I am adamant that he should apologize to me. i would be willing to apologize for what i said if he would apologize for trying to change my house, but he says i "dont understand OCD". AITA?

What are these acronyms?

Kutner's Suicidal Progression

Reiteration of a previous post because that was a messy wall of text (this is still a wall of text, but hopefully less messy) and also some of my thoughts changed.

Kutner’s death feels abrupt and unexplained, but that much was intentional. Kal Penn told the producers early on that he might leave to pursue other things. There is an archived interview on this matter, and it says David Shore came up with the idea in December, and Simple Explanation aired in April, so this wasn't as last-minute as it may seem.

And yes, Kutner took his own life because Kal Penn had to leave, and of course the events in TV shows are always affected by the production logistics, but what happens in the story should be interpreted within the diegetic context.

Behavioral Changes

Kutner was known to use shock paddles where they don’t belong. Risk-taking behavior might indicate suicidal tendencies. My theory is that he was passively suicidal from the beginning, which might be why there was no noticeable change, since the team only knew him since when the games started.

The changes in behavior is there, though. His demeanor is different in season 5 than in season 4. He is a little less goofy (though he didn't lose it entirely) and more profound and serious. I do think Amber’s death was some sort of catalyst. He finally revealed how he lost his parents. He shared his experience with the patients to comfort them. The quirkiness could have been a front to mask his internal struggle, but either way, it gradually diminished. He didn't say as many funny, silly things other than sarcastic disagreements in the later episodes. The only funny thing he did in the later episodes is the “cat” pee, and that was a retaliation. The thing is, when you’re eccentric, you can become more “normal” when you’re toned down, and the altered state of mind goes unnoticed because it seems normal.

Relationship with House

Early on, Kutner was clearly very eager to please House, but less so in later episodes. In season 4, he gave House a Christmas gift even though he knows House rigged the secret Santa, and everyone else tells him not to indulge House. In season 5, he talked about it not-so-fondly and aid House is just messing with everyone again. He wanted to think that House was an ass because there was something wrong with him, but that whole ordeal was another incident of House’s antics. Kutner was confrontational with House in season 5 episodes 13 and 14, and he seems legitimately upset with House. This would be a necessary growth, but nonetheless, he doesn’t idolize House like he used to. Later, in a conversation with Taub, he said Taub used to be a successful plastic surgeon but now he is a “flunky for this mad scientist.” They have the same job, so this is what he considers himself to be, a flunky to a mad scientist. House is a mad scientist.

Discussions of Suicide

They had a patient who attempted suicide because of severe and unexplained pain. Taub said he is insane, that sane people don’t attempt suicide. Kutner's response was “Not ever?” Kutner asked Taub if he lost someone to suicide because his strong rejection indicates baggage. Kutner did say it’s people like himself who don’t do it because when life sucks from the beginning, there is no way to go but up. This, however, suggests that he had thought about this, that he’d had to convince himself that he has no way to go but up before. Kutner kept asking Taub because he doesn’t fully believe him, which means Kutner can’t be taken at his word, either. Taub eventually told him that he had a “colleague” who attempted suicide. Kutner asked if this “colleague” was Taub himself, and Taub denied it. Kutner didn't seem convinced, but drops the subject. Kutner might have hoped to talk to someone who might understand, someone who overcame it, but he didn’t want to pressure Taub.

Heightened Concern for Others

When Kutner confronted House about where Thirteen and Foreman were, he said, “You always blab to watch people react. Not blabbing means you don't want us to react, which can’t be good. Is Thirteen’s headache not just a headache? If I check with admitting, am I gonna find her name?” He even calls Foreman a hypocrite because he’s not doing everything he can to help Thirteen in order to protect himself.

Kutner deduced that something was going on with House because he ordered an MRI he knew the patient didn't need, and he didn’t see him taking Vicodin. He then went to Wilson to tell him about it. He knew Foreman and Thirteen were still together (Taub didn’t think they were) before House ever did. Foreman didn’t realize something was up with House until then. Cuddy didn’t know until Wilson told him. Three people who’ve known House far longer than Kutner, one of whom works as closely with House as Kutner, didn't realize something was wrong with House, but Kutner did. House was on methadone during this time.

Kutner sensed Taub had something going on because Taub argued with House about a diagnosis. When Kutner argued with House about a treatment or Thirteen, Taub didn't think anything of it. Kutner repeatedly tried to talk to Taub, but Taub deflects and the exchanges are interrupted by work. Kutner was so attentive about what other people were going through because he was Going Through It himself.

Kutner was the one observant and perceptive enough to notice when others had issues, the way House usually did. House was distracted, with Cuddy, with methadone, with death cat, etc.

House figured out that the death cat patient suffered a loss and the grief made her more superstitious. He told her it’s meaningless, but at least he was sincere to her. With Kutner, House actively mocked him by subjecting him to a variety of things that are supposed to be “bad luck” and when Kutner says he realizes it's stupid but doesn’t want to invite anything, House said “I thought you were superstitiousness had something to do with your folks being killed, but you’re stupid works just as well.”

I'll always think about him </3

Remember to PEE all over your posts!

PEE stands for Point, Evidence, Explain. It's a useful way to structure your arguments.

Point: Make a statement.

Evidence: Give examples to back up your statement.

Explain: Tell us why the examples support your statement.

Here's an example of how you might apply the PEE formula. I'll use Hazbin Hotel because that's my current special interest.

Point: "Huskerdust will become canon."

Evidence: "Near the end of Episode 7, Angel Dust puts his arm around Husk, and Husk's pupils are noticeably more dilated when he looks at Angel than when he looks down at Charlie and Vaggie."

Explain: "Husk is a cat demon, and cats' pupils dilate when they see something that excites them. Husk is clearly excited to see Angel. And I think that moment was dropping a hint that Husk and Angel's feelings will develop into romance later down the line."

Now, you may believe there are flaws in this argument. You may think that there's not enough evidence to support the point, or that I haven't explained myself well. But because I've laid everything out, you can see the reasoning and make your own judgement about whether you want to agree with what I say.

I'm highlighting the importance of PEEing because all too often I see people online making statements like, "This is fetishising abuse!" or, "This is infantilising gay men!" or, "This content creator is a proshipper!" while neither explaining what they mean by terms such as "fetishisation," "infantilisation" or "proshipper" (terms which not everyone will understand straightaway) nor giving evidence to support their statements.

And, inevitably, some people will take what they read on the Internet at face value and not research the matter any further, instead just passing those points along and whipping people up into a fury.

It doesn't have to be like this. A little more PEEing can make a big difference.

If you've got evidence for your point, show it. And always explain how the evidence proves the point - even if you think it's obvious, because it won't be obvious to everyone. Give us all the facts we need to make our own minds up about the validity of your claim.

If you want to read more about how to PEE, you can check out these articles from the University of West London and BBC Bitesize.

Now go forth and PEE everywhere!

Online/Offline [C.S] - ninety-one | it was the locking of the jail cell for me

You wondered why your chest seemed so heavy and opened your eyes. The blurriness of sleep cleared after blinking a few times, and you accidentally looked into the sun as it came through the window.

“Fuck…” you whispered.

You tried to roll over to escape it and found yourself immobilized by five kilos* of cat, all of which were staring right into your eyes.

“Good morning, Byeol.”

She slow-blinked and purred like an engine, making you chuckle. 

Well, now you couldn't get up. You were a cat bed and that was your lot in life until you died. If only all humanity could be as blessed as you were. Fortunately you didn’t have to pee, so you could comfortably be a bed for a while. You looked up at the ceiling as you petted Byeol, thinking about what happened the day before.

You just… could not believe that any of what you did actually worked. You were equal parts in awe of your own genius and fucking surprised that you had managed to get the confession. You wondered, in what measure, you should praise your intelligence vs. Byungchul’s stupidity. You supposed that criminals of his ilk had to be at least a little stupid, otherwise they wouldn’t commit the crimes they did.

Out of the corner of your eye, you saw your phone light up with a message.

You closed your phone and went back to your thoughts. 

Aside from being proud and surprised, you were also, if you could stand to admit in the privacy of your own mind - which you absolutely could - dazzled by San’s heroic leap to your rescue. Sure, you were a strong, independent streamer who doesn’t need no man…

But you couldn’t deny that watching your cute friend run over to fight a bad guy for you kind of made you want a man. 

One man.

A particular man.

That man.

Him. You wanted him in particular.

Maybe you were so used to having to fight for Yeosang for so many years, but you suddenly understood the whole appeal of someone gallantly whooshing in and fighting in your stead. 

Like Tuxedo Mask, but actually effective.

…It was really hot.

You looked down at Byeol and pet her face as you whispered, “Your papa’s pretty cool, huh? Why didn’t you tell me about how cool he was?”

“Who’s cool?”

You froze for a second and looked over to where the voice had come from. 

A sleepy Yunho stood in the doorway of his room and rubbed his hand over his face.

“Uh, you and Woo were cool.” Byeol jumped away in anticipation of food and you were finally able to sit up. “Very good wingmen. I think you both have a future in spy work.”

He smiled and walked over to the coffee maker. “Maybe I’ll play one in a drama next. That was probably good experience for it.”

You chuckled. “Probably.”

“Hey,” San said as he exited his room. “How’d you sleep?”

“Pretty good, actually. Seeing one’s stalker walked over to a jail cell and locked inside for the night really does something for one’s stress levels.”

He smiled. “Do you want breakfast?”

“You can cook?”

“Hey--”

You held up your hands in surrender and laughed. “Every time I come over we order takeaway.”

Yunho filled a mug with coffee and turned around. “I can make pancakes.”

You smiled. “Oh, that’s--”

“He can make slightly cooked batter. Don’t let him fool you.” San said as he opened the fridge to look for ingredients.

“Hey! I’ve improved since then.”

San stood up straight. “Oh yeah?”

“Yeah.”

He narrowed his eyes and grilled Yunho for a moment.

“Okay, I haven’t made pancakes since then. But if I did, they’d come out better this time.”

San laughed as he pulled the carton of eggs out of the fridge and put it on the counter along with the milk. “Do you know where we keep the flour?”

Yunho took this as a challenge: did he know where they kept something he never used? He put his coffee mug down and turned towards the counter, surveying it.

San looked at you for a second and you raised your eyebrows at him, he smiled and turned back to Yunho, arms folded over his chest. Yunho continued to look at the counter and cabinets, seemingly thinking about what was inside each one, or perhaps, trying to remember what was in each one. He pointed at each cabinet door as he went through the possible items in his head. Finally, after a few minutes, he tapped one of the doors. 

“It’s in this one.”

San nodded. 

“I’m right?”

“Go ahead and open it.”

Yunho smiled and opened it, finding various bags of snacks instead.

You and San both tried to suppress your laughter.

“This is your snack cabinet, why would I know what’s in it?”

“Didn’t you know it was my snack cabinet though?” San asked with a laugh. 

“I forgot which one it was.” As if to add insult, a bag of popcorn fell out of the cabinet and hit him in the cheek before it fell onto the counter.

San walked to the counter and opened a cabinet door two doors over from the one Yunho had opened and took the flour out.

“I’ll teach you how to make pancakes, big guy.”

Yunho frowned. 

“Put my popcorn back.”

He did as he was told and waited while San pulled up a recipe on his phone.

You saw your phone light up; it had better not be Yeosang again.

Signs Your Cat Is Mad at You 😾 😼 🙀

Think your cat is purring because she's happy to see you❓ Not always❗ Cats are the queens of mixed messages—here's how to understand your fickle feline.

Cats can’t speak, but that doesn’t mean they can’t communicate, and they’re always trying to tell you something. Whether they’re happy or sad, in pain, or particularly when they’re a little ticked off, they want you, their favorite human, to know it.

Your cat may make angry cat noises, get jealous, seemingly purposefully knock something over, or pee on your new bedspread. Instead of instantly reacting, play detective. Out-of-character cat behavior may be a sign of cat anxiety, cat depression, or something else.

Your cat needs you to be watching and listening to what it tells you. You have to figure out what the kitty is trying to say—and perhaps kitty is saying it’s angry or upset. A cat’s body language can also hold a number of clues to how it’s feeling.

As for why your cat is angry, chances are it’s afraid, feeling territorial, having a conflict with another cat or a dog, or in pain.

No matter how your cat is feeling, you, as their human, should always respond with love and patience. Also, always remember that scruffing a cat is a big no-no❗ That kitten reflex, called a flexor reflex, disappears as the kittens grow.

✔ She scratches your furniture There’s nothing more infuriating than an angry cat that looks you straight in the eye, extends her claw, and then swipes at your new leather couch. Rather than aggression or anger, this is more likely due to your cat marking her territory. Cats are very territorial. Cats perceive the house and yard as their kingdom, so things like claw marks on furniture and urine spray on walls are simply fresh boundary lines. Using a cat pheromone spray will help calm things down and save your sofa.

✔ She watches you from afar It can be hard to tell if your cat is keeping her distance because she’s upset, or if she’s staying away because, well, she’s a cat and cats are weirdos. But if your furry friend actively avoids you when she’s normally playful or keeps away for longer than usual, it can be a sign she’s mad, scared, or anxious. Angry cats will keep their distance when they get confused by, say, a sudden loud voice, quick movements, or even an unfamiliar smell on your jacket. The solution❓ Let her have her space—she’ll come back when she’s ready.

✔ He growls at you Think it’s just dogs that growl❓ Then you’ve never seen an angry cat or fighting cats. Angry cats can make a wide variety of noises that signal their displeasure, including a throaty growl. If your bestie is vocalizing his feelings, start by giving him his space and then slowly do things that will create a positive relationship, like feeding, playing with toys, grooming, or speaking softly. Learning the truth about these little things that make your pet tick will also help replace growls with purrs.

✔ She gives you “the look” What look❓ If you’re a cat owner, you don’t even have to ask—cats are masters of showing their feelings through their eyes. Cats especially become perturbed when their routine is messed up, like if you’re late feeding them or during daylight savings time. The solution is obvious: Cats will do better on a regular, predictable schedule, so do your best to stick to one.

✔ She avoids her favorite mouse toy Toys can actually be a major source of irritation for a cat. They get bored with the same toys, so it’s important to mix them up or refresh them with catnip. Cats need lots of stimuli because they are natural hunters and love the game of chase and capture. That has to do with their hunting instincts, which is also the reason why cats sleep so much.

✔ He hides under the couch and refuses to come out Hiding is one of the first signs your cat is unhappy or fearful of you or the situation. Resist the urge to try to drag your angry cat out of hiding—it’s a protective reflex, and if you force him to socialize before he’s ready he may become aggressive. A new study also shows that cats like baby talk AKA, your cat may respond to high-pitched voices.

✔ She suddenly gets very fluffy The very stereotype of an “angry cat” is a kitty crouching with an arched back, fluffed out fur, and a bushy tail. This gives the animal the appearance of being bigger and more intimidating—which often backfires with enamored owners. But no matter how cute or funny you find this posture, now is not the time to try and pet her. Give her space or she may swat at you or bite.

✔ His ears look like he’s preparing for takeoff Ears flattened back against the head and slightly sticking out—”like airplane wings”—are a sure indicator your cat is upset. Don’t worry too much but do keep your distance. An all-out attack toward people isn’t terribly common and, when it happens, may actually be a redirected aggression. Your cat cannot address the real reason for their angst (that darn squirrel trespassing in their yard❗), so instead they nail a human hand that tries to pet when kitty is upset.

✔ She poops on your pillow Rare is the cat owner who hasn’t discovered a “present” in a surprising place. Eliminating on your bed is a typical sign of feline separation anxiety. Even though it may appear she’s an angry cat taking out her frustrations on you, in reality, she is using her own scent as a way to cope with her anxiety. That they target the bed is sort of a back-handed compliment, because it smells the most like their beloved—you.

✔ He bites your hand when you pet him Talk about biting the hand that feeds you❗ Has your cat ever begged to be petted and then bit or scratched your hand❓ This is called “petting aggression,” and it’s totally normal (if annoying). This ‘leave me alone’ bite doesn’t mean he’s angry, but that he wants to control the interaction, and the petting that goes on too long overstimulates him.

✔ Her tail is all twitchy One of the first subtle signs that your cat is mad at you is when you see her tail placed low, swishing quickly back and forth, from side to side. Whenever you see the tail twitch, stop whatever it is you’re doing that is upsetting her, give her some space, and back off for a while until she calms down.

✔ He pees on your clean laundry Your cat hasn’t had an accident since he was a kitten, and now all of a sudden he’s peeing all over the house❓ It’s a sure sign he’s distressed. An angry cat most often urinates on soft surfaces like piles of laundry, sofas, or yes, your bed. It’s important to take care of this problem early, before it becomes a habit; talk to your vet if you need help stopping the inappropriate eliminations. Punishing cats for this type of urination is a common mistake cat owners make.

✔ She refuses her favorite meal When a cat is upset she may eat less or even refuse to eat at all. Often this is a reaction to a new or unfamiliar situation, a change in routine, or a big event at home, like the birth of a new baby. Keep a close eye on this one, however, as it can also be a sign of illness. If she won’t eat for more than a day or two, take her to the vet—it’s one of the 11 signs of cat cancer.

✔ He purrs Cats purr because they’re happy, right❓ Not always❗ Purring can also indicate anxiety, fear, or even aggression. If you keep petting a purring cat even after he shows other signs of irritation, you’re asking for a swipe or a nip.

Mila being on steroids can be an Issue when she needs to poo at 3 am, especially if the pocket door to the basement isn't 100% closed and she's down in the basement with Emet.

She has learned how to open the door if it isn't fully closed. If she can get one claw in there, she can open the door.

She knows that the upstairs bathroom is where humans poop.

She knows she isn't supposed to poop there, though.

But she didn't have a better solution when she couldn't wake up any people, bc Daddy was asleep in the basement and Mommy and Eema and Cat were all sleeping behind doors she couldn't open.

All of which is to say that I got up to pee a little bit ago and found an Extremely Sorry Dog hunched on the 2nd to top stair, eyes wide, ears back, waiting to Tell A Human that she was So, So, Very, Extremely Sorry. No dog has ever been more Sorry than Mila.

Couldn't even be mad. She knew.

I petted her ears and woke up Emet.

You say Sypha was girlbossed up in Netflixvania? I haven't seen in the show since it was new, but I recall that out of all the female characters, she was given that treatment the LEAST. Like, not even remotely in the same league as Carmilla's characterization. She was cool and smart, but also goofy, adorable, gave the show the levity it wouldn't have most times, and had proportionately huffy responses whenever Trevor (or Alucard) was acting like a clown. So, what's HER problem, exactly?

I'd say Sypha is more of a rude Team Mom. She's basically the trio's braincell because the others are such children, which translates to her being overly snarky and harsh with Trevor.

Also sorry man but this is not proportionately huffy:

Trevor: Right. I'll come back later. See if you can find some beer. Sypha: I could pee in a bucket and tell him it's beer. Grandfather: Sypha, he saved your life! Sypha: He's rude!

This is, what, half an hour after meeting Trevor? He only said that he doesn't think the Speakers' messiah hides under the city. He didn't do anything for her to be like "he should drink my piss". Makes her rant that Trevor made her rude in S4 feel even less called for.

Or this that pissed me off something fierce:

Alucard: You have the most fascinating family junkyard, Belmont. Trevor: You are a cockwart, Alucard. Sypha: Stop it. *drags Trevor away* You are an adult. You do not have to rise to his every barb. Trevor: He's pissing me off like it's his job, Sypha. Sypha: Grow up, Trevor.

you asshole, why aren't you saying anything to the piece of shit that has been insulting Trevor and his whole lineage ever since he woke up? 😭 dude has called Trevor a demented infant, unreliable and emotionally damaged, and joked about his family sacrificing cats to find their junk in the hold, but one mild insult from Trevor who understandably has enough of this cunt is what makes you say "enough"?

Sypha: It's strange. Trevor: How so? Sypha: I'm not sure. He's intelligent, sometimes even witty, in his way. Trevor: And he's certainly half-human. Sypha: More than half-human. He's a person in his own right. But it's like he's a cold spot in the room. It's not like your sadness. Trevor: I'm not sad. Sypha: Yes, you are. But I can shout at you, or tease you, and get a reaction that lets me know you're still in there. His sadness is like an icy well. It's bottomless… and it swallows up your voice and anything you try to drop into it.

Trevor, the dude who lost his whole family at 13 and has lived as a washed up alcoholic since then, has funny depression which doesn't bother Sypha all that much. Alucard, a cushy prince who lost his mother last year, has sad depression which he needs to be pitied for. Why does she even get with Trevor at this point?

She does call out Alucard later on, but she sympathizes with him much more than with Trevor: "You're afraid. You worry that you might have made the wrong choice. So you're trying to make him prove himself again and again by constantly provoking him." i don't know sypha i just think he's an ungrateful cunt and his daddy's son through and through, but hey, if you want to kiss him be my guest

(funnily enough, she does say to Alucard that Trevor didn't finish his childhood, but to Trevor she says that he's an adult and should be the mature one above Alucard's provocations. No sympathy at all, huh.)

Sorry, when I rewatched the show, I didn't find her as cute or charming as I remembered, either. I remembered her teasing Trevor in S3 ("You'll crack like an egg!"), but not that she called Trevor (again, a depressed alcoholic who clearly struggles to take care of himself) a deformed pet bear to throw treats to. And this is after she confesses her desire to travel with him!

She's not the worst part of the show, by far, and I hate Alucard much more than her. But she's also boring as hell when you remove the snark and "cute" insults, because her role is to be the spunky girl and the Team Mom. I call her a #girlboss because her defining quality is being Trevor's sassy girlfriend - she may not be as in your face and obnoxious as #slayqueen Carmilla, but she's still a victim of the writing's tendency to shove all women in two convenient molds, the sassy love interest and the evil but hot dommy mommy.

To be fair though, it doesn't help that she and Trevor got shoved into the most skullnumbingly boring subplots of S3 and 4, which makes discussing them beyond S2 hard for me. I tried, man, I really did, but I almost fell asleep when they played heroes in those villages... and I had bigger fish to fry, anyway :P

Time for a surprise The Man Who Stopped Laughing post! Here I was all mad that Jason disappeared in TMWSL #11, and then Rosenberg basically decided Gotham War: Red Hood #2 is a TMWSL side story with a lot I was not expecting!

I still hate that there's no effort at a legible timeline but all the surprises in this issue are helping me move past it. (OK I can't lie I'm always going to hate it at least lowkey.)

More thoughts:

So basically the Gotham War stuff is all happening before/during TMWSL #11 meaning the two Jokers were just hanging around Gotham for the two months Bruce was asleep I KNOW I SAID I'D STOP I'LL STOP. Jason strayed into Gotham War at first partly because of his search for Joker, asking the men Selina has recruited for clues about his location, but then he got more involved, enough that GW Red Hood #2 starts with Joker trying to find out where Jason is.

What an interesting turn!

The note does get to Jason, via a dead body (laid to rest by Scarecrow, not Joker).

Ohhh this is a twist. Last month in TMWSL, Ravager gave Manhunter a list of locations from Jason, places to look for Joker, and now we know they were provided by Joker himself?! Because he wants to make sure Jason finds him? And is probably plain insulted that someone who was pursuing him so single-mindedly suddenly stopped? hahaha

Jason says he'll meet up with Ravager in a couple days, but he misses his appointment because, as you may know, Zur-influenced Bruce decides to Clockwork Orange him so he'll feel debilitating fear whenever his adrenaline ratchets up. But Ravager isn't the only one who notices Jason's absence.

Joker did say back in the hospital in TMWSL that he might have plans for Jason, but I took that more as a taunt. I didn't know he actually was depending on Jason being around. (Though given the time jump, that could be a recently created plan.) Also, "Batman can't have him! I TOOK CUSTODY IN THE DIVORCE."

And look at Joker all ready to go with his hat! And the umbrella. The umbrella detail kills me.

It's also just really funny to me that like, sometimes Catwoman in Gotham War acts parental toward Jason. Here, Joker is intent on finding him. In the following pages, Harvey hears what happened to Jason and says Jason is "more one of us than he knows. And he's had a rough life because of that." And then Scarecrow comes upon Jason during a Missing Scene that takes place during Catwoman #58 when Jason tries to save a little girl from a fire...

Just when I'm laughing that Jason is everybody's blorbo, this happens.

MOMMY. Batman is Jason's Daddy, and Joker is Jason's Mommy. Oh my god. Rosenberg, you magnificent glowing sunrise.

Joker chases Scarecrow away like a disobedient cat with his squirtgun, and then turns back to Jason.

I think Grundy's pee could probably still ward Scarecrow off. Also is Joker mad Jason didn't tell his parents they have a granddaughter? :(

Joker again insisting Jason is important for his plans. Joker saying he's going to fix Jason, his "sweet boy." Is Joker of all people going to undo what Bruce did? That would be pretty hilarious, something to hang over Bruce's head later.

But whatever it is, it's not going to happen now, of course. Joker leaves Jason under the beam so the scene can play out as it does in Catwoman #58, in which Jason did not mention Scarecrow or Joker. I'm not sure if that's just because he still wants to take care of his own business or that he's not sure they were real.

I'm assuming all this means Jason will in fact appear in the TMWSL finale, though suddenly afraid of everything, which will be kind of weird for people only reading that story. Then again, maybe Bruce will end up fixing Jason himself in the last GW issue on Halloween, with how weird and inconsistent the GW writing has been.

Regardless, this particular issue was an unexpected delight, and it's boosted my assumption that the end of TMWSL #11 is a fakeout and this Joker is very much the real one. Too much would hit different in a bad way if he wasn't…

I was obsessing over foxes so😛

Pairings - Mike Schmidt ft. Fox owner Reader.

First time coming into your house scares mike after hearing a noises that sounds like a crying kid. You are reassuring him that it's just a animal as you guys entered the house.

He was overthinking about the thought of you having a children and you didn't even tell about them. As both of you are greeted by the white cat as she holds a plushie in her mouth.

"What is that thing?" that was the first thing that came out of mike's mouth as it was new to him to see something like her with big ears.

For about a year and you live with mike and abby now mike constantly calls her chihuahua fox hearing on how loud she gets when she doesn't have attention.

Mike having an insomnia helps your fennec fox as she tends to play with him at night which makes him really tired and get knocked out on the couch.

Abby lovess to take care of her. As your fennec fox isn't really potty trained abby learned how to take care of it's pee everywhere even though you told her that she shouldn't but come on she really loves your fox.

Mike's phone is already full storage from taking a pictures of abby and your fox cuddling up.

He doesn't have personal space as she tends to follow him to the bathroom.

You guys have to buy bigger potty for her cause she loves to dig but sometimes it can get a little too messy.

Mike was so terrified hearing a laughter at 3 am until he saw abby and the fox playing at the living room. He was literally face palming as you were just sleeping heavily.

It makes him think that it's just a dog in a cat body with chihuahua personality.

You guys knows when she did when something is broken and she is whining mess when you guys call her name.

When you guys need a little bit break from craziness you guys tend to put her on the cage as she always yell as if she pays them bills.
