Ooft, rough day for all Arrowverse fans. Legends ending on a cliffhanger and setting up a fugitive future (and Sara’s surprise pregnancy) story with the introduction of Booster Gold and Batwoman only starting to hit its stride after the disaster of a first season and everyone accepting/loving Ryan Wilder as the new Batwoman.

My guess is they will try to wrap up some storylines and character arcs through a limited issue comic or a few mentions in The Flash.

𝐦𝐢𝐦𝐢 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭í𝐧𝐞𝐳    ;     ʙᴇᴀᴄʜ ʜᴜᴛ ᴄᴏɴꜰᴇꜱꜱɪᴏɴᴀʟꜱ  #3 !

are you happy with how the recoupling went for you? did you get your first choice?

         “ super happy !  i was the first person picked at a recoupling again, which feels amazing, and just totally put my mind at ease about potentially going home. like that tight, anxious feeling in my stomach ?  instantly gone, and for the rest of the recoupling i could just sit back and enjoy the drama... and there was a lot.  i’m really happy luke chose me, because i do genuinely think there could be something there more than just that initial sexual chemistry. he’s so attentive to my needs, and he’s a great spooner... although after finding out spoon sex is his favourite position in that challenge, maybe we need to ease off on that a little... you know what they say — spooning leads to forking. ” 

what was the biggest surprise of the recoupling for you?

        “ layla is a god-damn pot stirrer, and honestly, i’m here for it. i kind of feel sorry for josh and naomi. it’s clear that they like each other, and they’ve already had so much drama  ( oops ! )  but then layla’s gotta do what she’s gotta do. it’s not friend island. girl, you do your thang, step on those toes. i just find it really funny how josh pulled me for a chat and then we had this whole massive argument over the fact that he was gonna pick naomi over me and then he didn’t even get to pick her. karma’s a bitch, i guess. whatever, it’s not that deep. our shit’s in the past, now. move on dot org. ” 

what do you think of the new bombshells, nana and leo? are either of them your type?

       “ nana’s super cool — i already love her vibe — and i’m kinda glad she’s tall because that puts her out of the running for some of the short kings. like, obviously height shouldn’t matter, but some guys find it important that they can pick up the girl they’re with and swing her around, but it’s not just about the dudes. i could see romi or naomi maybe going for nana, y’know.  leo’s a spice. i haven’t had a chance to talk to him yet, but he’s hot, for sure. when he walked in, i don’t think there was a single jaw in the villa that hadn’t dropped.  looks-wise, i’d probably go for leo on the outside, yeah. he seems super smart and i do love guys with ambition, but at the same time, there has to be space in their life for me. whoever i end up with, it’s important to me that they know i’m ambitious, too. i don’t want to get invested in anyone looking for a suzie homemaker stay-at-home trophy-wife type while they’re off running a business. that was the good thing about josh ; he supported that ambitious side in me, and i could tell he’d push me to reach my potential on the outside. ” 

who do you think they’re most likely to go for?

       “ honestly, everyone thinks they’re going to go for each other, and while i could see that working — they absolutely smashed that challenge — i think nana and marcus could be a cute pairing, and i see leo working better with layla or charlotte. maybe enzo needs to step his game up.  if leo was wise, he’d go for andrea. she’s had a tough time in here, and hasn’t really gelled with anyone aside from layla, but honestly, i’m still kinda routing for andrayla. i think they could go all the way. ” 

and, finally, is there anyone in the villa outside of your couple that you’re still trying to get to know?

     “ i’m not writing anyone off. i want to get to know everyone. leo and nana are going to shake things up, and i think it’s the change of pace that the villa needs. there are a few couples who were getting too comfortable before this last recoupling. luke and i are pretty fresh, but i reckon some of the other couples need to be tested. what better way to do that than throwing in two new smokin’ hot bombshells ?  speaking of... naomi, luke, nana and now leo ?  the bombshells this year really are bombshelling, and i don’t think there’s a single one of them who hasn’t caused a stir. ”

Fiora: Of all the goddesses you could’ve chosen, way to pick ones who are 100% guaranteed to not be down with it.

Hart: The scariest part of the story is that the plan might’ve worked if the conspirators shared more than five braincells between them!

Hyejin: Well that’s not very zen of him.

Hyunwoo: That’s IT, that’s a wrap, I don’t care, I DON’T care, just let it be over, please, why is this book so much?!

Lenox: Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead and the other one is cursed to only speak in spoonerisms.

Nathapon: This is terrible! Awful! We have to do something! ....in 8 to 13 business months.

Nicky: He and his buddy Pandarius, who was blessed by Demeter to never get indigestion- not a joke-

Rio: So Tantalus is a demigod son of Zeus, which at this point is about as exclusive as being left-handed.

Rosalio: And so, King Mithridates died as he lived. Not dying from poison.

Rozzi: Keep trying to shoot people in the head... And they keep... Not getting shot in the head by me...

Shoichi: “Loki, can we not do this? I’ll literally give you all my worldly possessions if you don’t do this.” “That sounds like something a poor person would say!”

Silvia: But Julius had ignored the golden rule of slow and steady gets the spaghetti

Sissela: Oh no, it seems that you have contracted Big Dead! You should... pray about it.. or something.

Sua: Think the lesson here is that the real monster was the english language all along.

Tia: Mysterious color, etc etc

Fiction: On the Care and Training of Human Staff

An essay by The Mysterious Rumble Purr, as provided by Princess Rain E. Day Art by Luke Spooner

The training and development of human staff can be one of the most difficult yet rewarding tasks assigned to the average feline. The species, self-identified as Homo sapiens, is remarkable in that it has developed complex communities, advanced means of travel and limited orbital escape, and something called tacos. Unfortunately, it also has poorly developed communication skills, which appear to be deteriorating rapidly. Particularly at risk are direct communications and complex thoughts that cannot be explained via emoji.

I have previously hypothesized that humans can be trained with extensive patience and positive reinforcement. This report will cover a longitudinal study lasting, at this point, 12 years, and will discuss the successes and failures of the training regime.

We will begin with a discussion of the human communication limitations and will further address these in our conclusions regarding the success of the project. At no time were any human unduly harmed in this undertaking, thought claw- and fang-based correction were applied as needed. It is further theorized that the overall mental well-being of the humans may be greatly improved as a result of our efforts. Furthermore, we must caution that replication of this experiment may be difficult given that indications are each human suffers from a unique “personality” and varying intelligence level which may significantly impact the test results.

As noted earlier, each human has individual quirks and requirements in their training process.

To read the rest of this story, check out the Mad Scientist Journal: Winter 2020 collection.

The Mysterious Rumble Purr is the secret identity of an American short-hair torbie (not me, I swear it!), living in the Mid-Atlantic. Purr is originally from the Midwest, but moved her human staff east and north looking for a cooler climate. She is fond of tuna from a pouch and ice cream, preferably caramel. When not training humans, she is an organizer in the Feral Cat Union, attempting to help every kitten find its own people. She hopes to try her training techniques next on a canine, but has been unable to train her people to get her a puppy.

Princess Rain E. Day rules a small kingdom in Oaks, Pennsylvania. She is fond of naps, brushing, and chin bumps. She is opposed to the outdoors, her nemesis–black kitty who deigns to set foot in her kingdom–and children. She’s been known to hiss her displeasure at human females who choose to reproduce. Her hobbies include basking in the sun, pouncing her mousey, and guarding the house. This is her first publication.

Luke Spooner, a.k.a. ‘Carrion House,’ currently lives and works in the South of England. Having recently graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a first class degree, he is now a full time illustrator for just about any project that piques his interest. Despite regular forays into children’s books and fairy tales, his true love lies in anything macabre, melancholy, or dark in nature and essence. He believes that the job of putting someone else’s words into a visual form, to accompany and support their text, is a massive responsibility, as well as being something he truly treasures.
