#I like the image of it because I always picture male lions being all lazy

[deadghosy]

Hey!! I have a request! Could you do the hazbin hotel characters and fem! CatNap reader! I know CatNap is a boy but I would like to see what kind of head canons they would have for a female version of CatNap. Also maybe reader would love chasing things around since cats do that?

HAZBIN HOTEL X FEM CATNAP!READER HEADCANNONS

prompt: you are female resident who helps sinners with insomnia

OKAY FIRST OFF! YOU DEFINITELY STILL SMELL LIKE VANILLA AND LAVENDER!🦆 NO ONE CAN ARGUE ABOUT THIS TO ME 😭

What I headcannon is kinda cartoony as reader has her legs cross as she just nods listening to a sinner’s sleep problem as she is just wearing glasses and a vest. Dead ass she just knocks them out like. “Problem solved!”

Charlie made you a room so residents and sinners could come in and have you help them sleep. Like either you knock them out and walk away. Or you actually stop being a lazy mofo and help them personally.

I headcannon based on the fluffy plush bodies that reader is still flat like the male catnap, cause obviously she doesn’t have a chest just like the plush body of Bobby bearhug. That’s basically how I imagine reader’s body is with her being like a little more skinny but definitely having trouble with people asking what her gender is.

“I’m a fucking cat, that’s what I am.” Is what reader would say irritated as it’s obvious in her feminine/decent voice.

Sassy catnap!reader is a goal as you would literally just do shit for shits and giggles😭✨🔥

Headcannon you have a purple vest with a white dress shirt and a black or white skirt with a few moon patterns on it while the color of your dress shirt as a moon pendent💗🦆

You straight up knocked a person out with your red smoke because they had sexualized you during the session and all you had to say was. “Oh really? Count to three…” “count to wh-” immediate knocked out as they fell face first from the chair as you smile with a full grin.

You used your claws to cut open a piece of candy for nifty as she hugs you and walked away happy. You love helping….

Alastor ran from you as you were chasing after him like a predator because he said he doesn’t need sleep…okay so imagine this….

You are sneaking like a lion behind Alastor as he drinks tea and he is like “I feel watched” with a sweatdropped and next thing people see in the halls is you grinning as you drag a motionless Alastor who still holds his tea up.

You wrapped your tail around Charlie to help her put up a banner as you file your claws as it was time to trim them. Like I imagine that as vaggie is like “What.” With a blank confused face seeing her girlfriend get lifted by a 8ft tall female cat

I can see reader having those teas that help people to sleep just incase they don’t like being passed out “force”. So you just make them tea as you listen to them rant as they fall asleep

Imagine reader reading a book as Lucifer is having a hyper moment behind her as she just peacefully reads….

It gives off “calm friend x hyper friend” vibes

Lucifer had one time patted you, and kept petting you until you purred so he can feel relaxed. He likes your purrs.

The duck king definitely has a picture of you purring on his lap…he even has it as his wallpaper kinda because of how soft and good smelling your fur is

OOOH IMAGINE YOU AND ANGEL HAVING A FASHION SHOW IN HIS ROOM💗🦆

Angel definitely gets you some nice clothes to match your aesthetic or purple clothing with white and cream.

You carry nifty in your mouth as if she was your kit….its cute okay…like niffty straight up smile as you hold her like your own kitten.

“This is ma mom now!” Nifty says happily as you just walk around with the back of her dress in your mouth.

Cherri bomb was good about you by Angel dust as Angel had put an image of how cool and badass you are at not following the rules. She always tries to persuade you into giving her your red smoke to make bombs out of it. SHE ONLY WANTS TO CAUSE DESTRUCTION!!!🦆‼️

Sir Pentious brings his egg boiz to you when they can’t sleep so you can use your red smoke on them. They snuggle in your purple fur as you just play a lullaby for them

I imagine you and husk purring by each other out of no where confused…but it’s because of your peaceful scent installed in your fur and body.

You still have your signature cocky smile before you knock a bitch out with the gas coming from your mouth.

I can see how you have a moon ring as [favorite hazbin hotel character] has a sun ring to show off your friendship with them

Imagine how reader gets groomed by the whole hazbin hotel crew because of their 8ft tall frame…there’s a lot of extra work in grooming your fur.

You definitely have those candles as well with that lavender smell with hint of vanilla. You have so much aromatherapy stuff for people. You might as well be the aroma goddess-

I headcannon you using your demon form (basically that form where the player sees catnap as a skinny monster) to scare people 😭 you’re an asshole as I imagine Angel getting ready for his morning to only see you behind the shower curtain with a creepy smile

Angel screamed and ran out the room looking crazy…..😭 Charlie found out and made you apologize to Angel as he was locked in his room..

He’s definitely not going to the bathroom alone-

Just like my other catnap! Reader, you definitely walk around slowly but stealthy releasing that poppy gas just incase a resident or your friends try sneaking out. “It’s time for bed…” you says quietly as you move smoothly around the hotel hallways

Just like before, Lucifer was scared of you until you showed him you can be quite the loving person you can be. Like Lucifer will lay on your body for comfort if he was getting busy from paper work in his office.

I can imagine Angel trying to get you to use your gas on Valentino and you’re like “sure” as you put a jar to your mouth and release it and give it to Angel.

Knowing nature means knowing animals

I have always been interested in animals. I spend a lot of time researching how they live. How they eat, travel and interact with each other? As a nature interpreter, I feel like animals are part of nature and in order to develop a great relationship with nature, you must also have an appreciation for animals. I feel like building a love for them will ultimately make us understand nature better and lead to a future that allows us to live in harmony with other organisms without affecting them. Our planet is huge, and we all exist on it to live in peace.

I’m particularly interested in the top predators and, more specifically, lions. So majestic in the way they walk, run, eat and stare. They represent courage and justice. They scare me but at the same time, I feel peace watching a lion walk through the fields of Africa. They hunt but that’s simply the order of life. That’s the way they are made to live. There’s a reason we call them the king of the jungle. There are levels to the natural food chain, and they happen to be at the top. They carry a unique presence to themselves and we always look up to them, even though they are regarded as being lazy animals. It’s, in fact, normal for a lion to sleep up to 20 hours in a day. Holding that kind of status in the jungle while being able to sleep for that long is another example of their reputation. In today’s day and age, the picture of a lion has increasingly been used as a symbol. Funny enough, I worked in the African Lion Safari for a period during some of my summers and was extremely astonished with seeing the lions up close. I always remember the first day my collogue showed me them, he told me that a lion’s roar can be heard from approximately 5 miles away. My jaw instantly dropped. It was always cool to see the visitors coming in because you know what their first question always was? ‘Where are the lions?!

During this week’s reading, we discussed ‘Nature Deficit Disorder’ – the idea that kids nowadays are spending less time outdoors, and more on technology, resulting in us distancing ourselves from nature. I understand this point, but in certain cases like these wild animals, I think technology in fact aids us. I’ve watched many documentaries about lions, how they hunt, live and eat. These shows paint a clear picture for me on how lions live, where without them, we would never know. You can’t be in the wild up close to a lion. Its behaviour is unknown, and it is dangerous. For me, when I watch these shows, I begin to feel their habitat. The sounds of the jungle, the rays of the sun through the tall trees and the hot sand and atmosphere gives me a vivid image of what the lions are going through in their everyday lives.

Tips For Creating a Successful LD Sales/Auction Thread

Hey! So I’ve noticed lately that there’s been an influx of new players starting up lion sales or auction threads on Lioden! Unfortunately, most of these threads have almost no buyers. In several cases I’ve seen they have no hits at all after weeks of being up. And as someone who makes most of their SB/GB via auction threads, I figured, I’d throw out a couple tips. This is by no means a guide, just some guy shouting out into the void, hoping to help a little!

1. Always include images of lions being auctioned/sold - Pretty much all of the failed threads I see have links and copy-pasted info, with no images. I know it feels like extra work to code in images if you’re not familiar with HTML/CSS coding, but it’s really easy! And showing people the product they’re buying is honestly a really simple way of garnering interest. Sure, they could just click on the link you provided to the lion, but people are lazy. And it’s harder to fall in love with or want something you can’t see. Just take a screenshot of your lion, upload it to a hosting site (I use imgbb), and copy and paste the insert picture link provided! It will always start with <img src= and end with >. I prefer to go the extra mile of showing all of the cubs I auction as adults with both birth and 100% marking opacity.

2. Do not auction/sell garbage - It should go without saying, but this is also a major mistake I see people making. If all you have to sell are common based cubs with a handful of common/applicator marks, you’re much better off selling them at fodder prices on TC. I’ve been asked several times why my auction threads are popular. It’s because I don’t offer garbage, plain and simple. Muties, special bases, and rare breed-only marks. Nothing else should ever go on a thread, unless it’s specifically meant for something like gorilla fodder swapping. Very few people make a profit doing otherwise, and those people have typically been at it for a while.

3. If your’re selling males, make sure you let people know if they’re sex-changeable or not - I ONLY sell sex-changeable males, but your mileage may vary. But, unless people are looking for a heir, chances are they’ll want to sex-change your boys. If people aren’t sure that they can, they may not bid on or purchase your male cubs/lions at all. I only started doing well selling non-mutated males when I did this.

4. If you take items, make a list and keep it on the OP - This one is pretty self explanatory. I like to post the images of the items I take to save space, but you can do an organized written list if you want. It makes the post longer, but people don’t seem to mind. Make sure YOU price check using both TC and Branches whenever taking an item as payment. You’re the seller, you set the prices, and other players will at best make mistakes (usually by checking one place and not the other) and at worst try to scam you.

5. If auctioning, make sure you post the minimum increment and stick to it - You can do it lion-by-lion or by entire thread, but make sure people know what that number is. Also,  people don’t read, unfortunately. You’re going to get a lot of people trying to bid less than what you’re set increment is, and if that auction isn’t progressing as fast as you’d like, you may be tempted to take it anyway. Don’t. Politely remind that player what your increment is and be consistent. If you break your rules for one sale, you’ll be expected to do the same for all.

6. If auctioning, make sure your starting bid is something you would actually be okay selling at - No one likes it when they’ve won an auction fairly, only to have it ripped away because the price you agreed on is suddenly not enough. I start my bids low typically, and I do take hits, but more often than not I rise way above it within a couple days. Sometimes I will sell that gorgeous cub for only 100SB, or that pretty Piebald at 5GB, and I just have to deal. But it’s not common enough for me to change my starts. But if you’re not okay with occasionally losing out, I highly recommend raising your starting bids. No one wants to buy from someone who flakes out on them.

7. Advertise -  I seriously cannot stress this enough. Make sure to type out an add with the link to your thread and post it in sales chat a couple times a rollover. You don’t need to do it constantly (spam is bad) but it lets people who don’t constantly check chatter know you’re there. Bumping the thread now and then is helpful, too!

Pretty much, that’s all I got right now. Feel free to add, if you have other tips that you feel people starting out could use. Again, not a guide, but these things all really help me with my threads. Happy Lioning!
