do you ever think about how Ohkubo extremely casually dropped the fact that Spirit & Kami were teen parents & then proceeded to never expound upon that fact or bring it up ever again despite it explaining a whole lot about them & Maka
#I think a big part of why I'm so attached to/interested in spirit as a character is because he objectively has A LOT going on in his life.#but because he was created to fill that stock pervy comedic-relief anime side-character archetype we never get to see any of it examined.#or even brought up at all for the most part#like spirit apparently comes from a long line of death weapons who despite having been loyal to lord death for generations are never ever#mentioned & who spirit himself never mentions despite carrying on the family tradition (although he's not unique in that regard tbh)#at 12-13 years old he becomes stein's weapon partner & in his own words it became “[spirit's] job to control [stein].”#another kid with a laundry list of mental health & behavioral issues that spirit probably wasn't super prepared to help “control”#(personally I think that this “job” of spirit's was a duty he took upon himself rather than something lord death necessarily told him to do)#then just ~5 years later he 1) loses/rejects said weapon partner & probably best friend after some really major boundaries were crossed#2) becomes a husband & father at just 18#(& in his own words a broke 18 year old at that. another point towards him not being in contact with any family if they're even alive)#3) becomes technically one of the most important people in the world once he ascends to being a death weapon.#not necessarily in that exact order but certainly in quick succession.#& then we fast forward to canon & spirit's at best a guy who drinks way more than he probably should & at worst a functioning alcoholic#who's only A MONTH into being divorced for his habitual infidelity & is in the really weird position of being the primary caretaker of his#daughter who (rightfully) hates him despite him having zero custodial rights over her.#& imo he seems to have no friends in death city before stein & the other death scythes return despite generally being a people person.#like. spirit is kind of the epitome of should've been at the club lmao#soul eater#spirit albarn#kami albarn#meta (kind of. not really lol)

There’s an alternative universe out there in which Zoro’s hair color is naturally Shimotsuki Blue (®) and he’s just done a really good job of maintaining a green dye job while out at sea. And maybe he dyes it for some symbolic reason, maybe he’s just being a rebellious teen, but barely anyone picks up on it cause he’s consistent with it and hair can grow crazy colors naturally in their world. Nami would know, maybe, cause she’d finance his hair products, and canonically the crew’s stylists are Robin and Usopp, so they’d know, too.
The one who wouldn’t know in this scenario, the one who should know the most, is Sanji. The thought that Zoro might be dying and redying his hair green in his free time never even crosses his mind, because who would be a mosshead willingly? And Luffy doesn’t realize his hair is dyed because he barely pays attention to people’s appearances anyway. So when Zoro shows up to Sabaody after spending two years in Doom and Gloom Island, away from any of his usual hair products, Sanji and Luffy look at him and ask, genuinely, “Who the hell are you?”
#i have so many HCs about a Zoro actually raised by the Shimotsuki as one of their own that could lead to this AU#HCs about both sides of Zoro’s family in general#but like he could be as oblivious to his own heritage as he is in canon and still dye his hair green for the giggles#my post#roronoa zoro#one piece

yukiko claims that conan is her "grandfather's older brother's daughter's cousin's uncle's grandson" which implies that shinichi looks more like yukiko's side of the family because otherwise, it would look suspicious that conan is a spitting image of yusaku when he is supposed to be a cousin from yukiko's side
#kudou shinichi#dont mind me just here on my shinichi has more of his mother's traits agenda#shinichi wants to be a detective cos he was inspired by his father but he inherited more traits from his mother agenda#i understand children's appearances change when they grow but sometimes they rly do be a spitting image of one of their parents!!!#and i hc that that's how shinichi is 😌#yukiko loves to call him her little clone to annoy him lol#also lowkey idk rly know how genetics work this far from the family tree but if shinichi can reverse into a child's body#then i can damn sure make him have yukiko genes 😌#LOOOL#dc prattles#detective conan#dcmk#his penchant for dramatics is definitely from his mother's side#he just has the eloquence in speech from all that exposure to his father's work and literature in general

After hanging out with Sirius’ little brother for a few months now - sometimes the three of them but more and more just the two of them - James first realizes he’s in love with Regulus on a summer night with cheeks warm from sunburn and sweet red wine. They’re on an old leather couch at a party Sirius is throwing at the Potter’s beach house, and Regulus rests his head on James’ shoulder with a deep, heavy sigh. Absolutely plastered, he mutters in defeat, “I think I’m now ready to admit that I’ve probably missed my chance at becoming a mermaid.” James wants to laugh until his stomach cramps, wants to kiss him on his peeling lips and point out that Regulus turns 21 in just one week, what does he mean he’s willing to admit this now, but instead he shrugs lightly and rests his head on Regulus’. He says in that cocky voice of his that makes far too many people swoon, “You’d be the prettiest mermaid of them all” and Regulus would roll his eyes even though James couldn’t see, he’d bury his head further into James’ neck, and tell him “Yeah, James, obviously”.
And then a week would pass, the morning of Regulus’ 21st birthday, and he’d wake up before anyone else and sneak out of the house for his morning run. Sometimes on the really hot days, like the day of his 21st birthday, he’d cool off in the ocean before walking back to the house, the walk long enough to let the sun dry him a bit.
Except this time was different.
Regulus runs and jumps into the ocean, does a few slow strokes atop the rolling waves, then promptly begins to scream bloody murder in the blink of an eye; his legs have become so heavy it’s as if an overweight adult man is clinging to him. He twists and turns his body, lifts his cement legs up to see what the fuck is going on, freezes, starts drowning, then screams even as his mouth fills with saltwater.
Where his legs are supposed to be - where they used to be - there is now a beautiful emerald mermaid tail with scales that glitter tiny rainbows like the polish on his finger nails.
A mile away, the split second Regulus screams the first time, James wakes from a deep slumber with a gasp so sharp it throws him into a coughing fit. He drinks from the glass of water on his bedside table and grabs his phone before leaning back onto the fluffy pillows, pulling up his messages to text the birthday boy.
(7:02am) Happy birthday Reggie!!!! 21 WOOHOO!!!!!
(7:03am) Are u back from ur run?? Do u want blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes?
(7:04am) Had the craziest dream last night. Need to tell u all about it over some Potter Pancakes(;
(7:26am) Reggie??
(7:38am) Sirius said u never came back from ur run is everything okay???
(7:41am) Ur freaking me out Reg can u pls respond
(7:55am) Wherever u are: STAY THERE
(7:55am) I’m coming to find u. Call me when u see these, pls pls please
(8:06am) Where the fuck are you, Regulus?????
#anyways this got out of hand#and now I want to write it why would I do this to myself#AAAAAAAAAH#james potter#regulus black#jegulus#starchaser#jeggy#mermaid au#mermaid curse that runs in the family but skips generations and is activated on your 21st birthday#spoiler alert: james finds regulus#spoiler alert part two: for a very long time james is the only one that regulus shares this side of himself with#they’re so in love#james thinks it’s so fucking cool to the point his excitement makes regulus giggle like a school girl#he starts buying things in the exact same color as regulus’ tail#sirius is like ummm that sure is a lot of green#and james is like actually I don’t think it’s nearly enough#this was inspired by an idea that james realizes he’s madly in love with regulus when he says something as stupid as#I guess I really WONT be a mermaid#because let’s be honest we’ve all been there#let’s be SUPER honest and admit we’re all actually still holding out hope#mermaid regulus

I’ve never been... happy Wouldn’t that be nice? Is this the secret? Singing and dancing through life? Is my integrity worth anything at all?But happiness can’t come before its fall
#st tos#star trek#star trek tos#spock#this is a joke but now I'm thinking of a tgwdlm crossover/au#I'm actually not sure mr spock would survive until the end#he has incredible self-control but also way too many emotional issues#the hive specifically targets people's desire to connect; to get validation from a specific person or people in general#that's my hc for why they never got emma (on screen). because her desires were internal. she wanted to better herself#that's not something she could get through anyone else#(& yes she also wanted to reconnect with her family (& maybe connect w/ paul) but that's not the core of her desire)#and if course paul only started to become susceptible to the infection after he'd allowed himself to hope for/want a connection with emma#like he's had feelings for her even before but he was never gonna go anything about it#it's the allowing himself to *want* that sealed the deal. & through wanting emma also wanting more from life in general#& yes spock is pretty repressed but still he's way more internally aware of his issues than he lets through#(whoof managed to bring ut back around to star trek after all. I think I'll tag tgwdlm)#tgwdlm#oh the screenshot is from “this side of paradise”. if you're confused by this post

Taylor has a song about how a dry spell (among other things) lit the fuse about her fantasizing about a man she would come to despise and about her realizing her long-term relationship was dead and some pearl-clutchers think she’s offended that her boyfriend accidentally implied that they cannot relate to that feeling anymore lmao
#look I get that this is a brave new world#compared to how tightly that side of her used to be guarded#but Taylor’s been singing about sex low-key for over a decade#and explicitly since rep lol#and she’s clearly not shy about it#given that in the last year she’s like fully emerged on stage and has gotten assier and boobier and why do people think that is lol#she’s feeling herself and good for her#also it’s not like Travis described like their favourite positions or anything lmao#he was talking so generally not even just about Taylor like please#he was just like ‘#can’t relate I’m not a 50 year old man who doesn’t listen to his wife sorry’#like we should all just be happy that Taylor has someone who is open to and caring of her needs#and vice versa#like those two are all over each other all the time they clearly want to get married they clearly want to start a family#(and sooner rather than later)#how do you think that is going to happen lol#the woman has Agora Hills and Juno among others on her preshow playlist -- pretty sure she's fine with all of it lol#anyway this is kind of funny to me is all

Honestly hate how Annabeth doesn't get to keep majority of her items (ie. Daedalus' laptop)
#it annoys me so much because some of them were really unique and could've been used really well#The video shield (From TLO and never used again in the main books) was such a cool concept and was made by Beckendorf#So it could've been like a memory of him#No. Rick destroys it in a side story#And her laptop given to her by the greatest inventor alive a symbol of how ideas will get passed down from generation to generation#Lost in hell#Her knife that her adoptive brother gave her when she was seven years old a symbol of their familial bond#Also lost in hell#That one infuriates me#That trio was the most important one in the og series#but now that Luke's dead lets not keep the knife he gave to his sister because... I don't know she can't have things from dead people?#Why can't Annabeth keep things from dead people?#That's the question I'm getting from writing this#Rick I am speaking directly to you#Why do you hate the deceased?#annabeth chase#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo#do i tag this as rr crit#I'll do it to be safe#rr crit

The Emperor’s Type - Part 2
Emperor Mugiwara: You mean, my Pirate Queen? That person is smart! Very good-looking. Tall. Black hair. Gold earrings. Always looks angry, but has gold heart!
Few days after the article was published, Trafalgar Law found himself cornered by Worst Generation in the middle of the sea.
"This you, Trafalgar?" Bonney directly pointed to the newspaper on her hands.
"Not me." Law straight away denied.
"Are you sure? That description eerily matched you." Apoo looked sceptical, not one bit believed Law.
"It's Empress-ya. Why are you guys here, crowding around my submarine?" Law asked in exasperation. He looked around and spotted Kid standing some distance away. But that red-haired captain seemed off. Looking like his soul had left his body.
Like a... Broken-hearted man?
Killer beside him patted his shoulder, offering him some sort of consolation.
"We came here as soon as we heard it. Thought maybe you need some relationship & courting advice." Urouge added cheerily.
"I don't need any. And definitely not from you." Law hissed.
"You two have been in alliance long enough. People won't oppose too much by now." As the only married member, Bege supported his generation friends venturing into next step in life.
"I said, it's not me."
"The cards are telling me..." Hawkins trailed off. His cards neatly placed in front of him. "The possibility of you as Mugiwara's Pirate Queen is 98.9%."
"I don't usually believe this creep and his cards, but today I do." Apoo pressed.
"Trafalgar, are you..." Drake looked like he wanted to say something, but the words died down. He hesitated, and after few seconds whispered. "...I wish you happiness."
"Not you too, Drake-ya!"
-
The little rendezvous did not escape the prying eyes of Morgan's eager journalists. Soon, it was reported on newspaper's front page.
The Worst Generation - Meeting in the Middle of the Sea?
The news evoked social panic. "What were they meeting for?!" "Secret planning to overthrow the world?!"
Meanwhile, at two different locations in New World.
"Why I didn't get invited?!" Both Luffy and Teach yelled aboard their respective ships.
"You're Yonkou!" Their crew hollered back at them.
Teach felt offended for been left out. He was in this generation too; he wanted to be included in their activities!
Luffy looked pissed off. Everyone knew he was a party lover and always invited himself to big gatherings. Worst Generation convened; a big party must had happened. Right?
"What were they doing with my Torao?"
It was low growl. But his crew heard it.
"Luffy! What's with that jealousy glint in your eyes?!"
-
-
(What's more interesting than Worst Generation trolling checking up on their member concernedly)
Part 1 here:
#The Emperor's Type#lulaw#lawlu#law is having the time of his life#law is princess in this family#kurohige that one outcast kid in class#mugiwara your jealousy is showing#press F for kid & drake#one-sided kidlaw#worst generation#one piece#one piece drabble#one piece prompt#luffy x law#law x luffy#trafalgar law#trafalgar d. water law

Presenting two more characters and their redesigns in my HTTYD/The Deep story! One is more involved in the story, but the other makes PLOT, and neither really ever interact or connect to one another plot wise to my immediate knowledge in the overall story.
Introducing Savage and Eret!

Savage is not an Outcast and Alvins right hand man, but a true Berserker warrior, serving Oswald and his family for years. But when Oswald the Antagonistic becomes Oswald the Agreeable, Savage starts to grow restless. The Berserkers aren’t at war with the Berkians and surrounding tribes anymore, Oswald trying to maintain a semblance of peace in the dragon-war ridden Archipelago. Savage is a follower, not a natural born leader, but years of peace treaty after peace treaty, and babysitting Oswalds whelps has made him seek out other like-minded Berserkers, planning an uprising against the passive Chieftain. Oswald seemed to have caught on to what Savage was doing, escaping their attempted assassination, and now Savage is trying to commandeer the Berserker Tribe as a whole through sewing doubt amongst the tribe against Oswalds children, and trying to pit the siblings against one another in hopes they’ll simply get rid of the other for him. Savage isn’t good at thinking things through though, especially what the aftermath of his plans to stage a coup or civil war amongst the tribe to try and take leadership might be.
Eret son of Eret is a budding Dragon Trapper, partaking in his father’s business of trapping dragons and bringing them to Auction Markets run by the Grimborn brothers. Dragon Trapping was introduced to Erets family through his paternal Grandfather, with loans being taken from the wrong people, with no money to pay them back leading his Grandfather to Dragon Trapping. With similar habits being passed on to his son, Eret Sr, Eret has been taken on as crew for his fathers quest to pay off the debts his grandfather failed to pay, and his fathers own drunken mistakes. Eret isn’t sure how to feel about it all, his father pushing the looming mantle of Captain on to Eret as his eventual future, leaving whatever debts his father fails to pay before retirement for Eret to try and absolve, with old bedtime stories from his deceased mother and her side of the family speaking of dragons being more than wild animals. Eret’s been grappling with his internal struggles for a few years now, and a sudden interaction with some Archipelagon teenagers apparently riding dragons only rattles his inner beliefs even more.
I decided to go a bit of a different route with Savage in this story, making him a member of the Berserker tribe instead of the Outcasts. There are a lot of elements of his prior design still in this one, but he’s got a lead part in a lot of the early Berserker central arks and plots, especially in Heathers early story, and why she makes some of the decisions she does in Riders and Defenders of Berk, which has a sort of butterfly effect on the way she is in RTTE. He’s not a MAIN villain like the Grimborn brothers, Alvin, Heather, Drago, and a certain someone from the games, more of a small villain and a reoccurring nuisance. He gets his comeuppance however, as he’s not good at thinking things through, especially in the long run, and eventually gets revealed for all his nefarious schemes, and promptly exiled
Eret is a little different to the swashbuckling Dragon Trapper that’s in HTTYD 2, but he’s also nearly five years younger, a little older than Dagur and around the age that the riders were in RTTE. So, eighteen-nineteen-nearly twenty. He’s not Captain of the ship yet, and dealing with a lot of inner family struggles and trying to come to terms with what his future may hold. Generational and pawned off debt is how I play off (Headcanon wise) how he came to be under Drago’s employment in the films, and I’m playing with the setting of the early stages of how that happened here. With his grandfather and father both taking loans they couldn’t keep or pay back, and turning to Dragon Trapping to try and pay them off. Afterall, dragon parts and living dragons sell for a LOT of money. The Dragon Riders throw a bit of a wrench in things though, and Eret ends up being one of their first allies beyond Dagur and someone else in the Archipelago. He’s also a little shorter and not nearly as beefy as he is five years from then, not having the experience to build up that kind of muscle yet. I did this partly because of his age, and partly because Nico Marlets early concept art for him (whose HTTYD art I love and want tattooed to my brain) had him being a little more scrawny, and so I thought that was a nice callback
More characters to come…eventually, as it takes time to draw these, especially with the designing process I go through
#Savage isn’t the only character whose origins and general story I change#i mean i already changed Heathers a little bit#but i can think of one other character who’s a bit different than they are in the show in regards to setting#and another who is an antagonist when they weren’t in the films#i gave Eret the little beads he had in his concept art I love them so much#his mothers side of his family is going to be so much fun to dive into#they’re part of a whole arc in RTTE and Eret reuniting with that side of his family is going to be so much fun to write#the deep 2015#the deep cartoon#httyd#httyd/the deep crossover#Httyd savage#eret son of eret#there’s a few other characters im doing redesigns of appearance and plot for#aside from the characters of the deep who I have to sew into this world somehow#I’ve got Mala/Johann/eventually Drago and Valka planned#also chicken#can’t think of anyone else who would necessarily need redesigning/replotting#maybe Viggo and Ryker as they’re both five years younger#but their goals are relatively the same as they are in the show#with added plot on Viggos end and furhter exploration to their dynamic and operations#its gonna be so much fun tying everythign all together

There is something about the Gods’ true forms and powers being literally shaped and manifested by their trauma of losing a home leading them to creating mortals that fear or worship those forms and powers is so delicious to me.
#critical role#critical role downfall#exandrian gods#exandrian pantheon#Asmodeus being shaped by his trauma of losing his home and protecting his family#being resented and feared by mortals for it#while sarenrae is worshipped and loved by mortals#and how that shapes which side they ended up on#and in the end how all the gods affect the exandrians#generational trauma in the most fucked up way possible#but also shared trauma that can still end up creating chasms and rifts#it’s so delicious#and so tragic#and I want to eat more of it#the betrayer gods#the prime deities

my hair is so weird because parts of it are more curly and parts of it are more wavy and then i have this one fucking strand in front that has a mind of its own like it’s basically straight and grows like a bloody weed (can you tell i was a child of bangs) and then when i go on vacation to visit family because of the humidity it just gets curlier and like doubles in volume when my hair is already super thick?? like i’m getting a perm soonish to smooth everything out and because the lack of humidity makes it super flat looking like. all the time. it’s weird
also it’s super frizzy so sometimes it looks like i have an aura of something around my head JSNDJSKNSJDHD
#shut up scott#funniest part is i think the gene for my hair skipped a few generations#because i don’t get it from my dad’s side at all#and my mom’s is significantly less textured than mine#so i think i get my hair from my dziadek and his side of the family#also for someone with really thick hair i like. never. “shed” for lack of a better term#my SISTER on the other hand has the longest most aggressive very straight blonde hair you have ever seen#like. when i say blonde. i mean BLONDE.

favorite thing about dbd Fandom is seeing people's headcanons of killers hanging out between trials. They're a family to me :,)
#dead by daylight#a big. dysfunctional. emotionally fucked up family#theyre so family#that's probably why the dbd world is so warm to me in general because even though there's the horrors. there's also the sillies ^_^#like anything could be happening between trials. the entity feeds on emotions so there's gotta be some delicious moments for her to consume#some deliciously beautiful fambly moments#killers visiting each other's realms#danny bunking with amanda in gideons after sneakily just sleeping there without her knowledge#They're enemies and besties ^-^#legion and looking at gf as a parental figure against his will my beloved#whatever nurse and wraith got going on#billy and bubba are like brothers to me. especially since bubba is probably missing his own family :#these tags are so long but my love for them is even bigger ^-^#dbd killers#also amanda walking demo at the new ormond map side by side with portia and snug#both of their pets are wearing lil sweaters for the cold#portia respects the hell out of amanda for 'taming that beast'. amanda just remembers demo cuddling up to her in her realm one night#demo imprinted on her. he's her emotional support supernatural animal#he hates danny#hisses at him but doesn't kill him because he's Amanda's buddy#danny also hates him so it's even#annyway. that's it. those are my headcanons#as well as all killers exploring the new ormond realm together with their lil winter outfits on :')

Thinking about the portrayal of ancestry in Horizons.
#something about depicting adult characters as full people with their own motivations and lives as opposed to just making them flat#or not going deeper than a dichotomy between bad and good. it's refreshing to see stuff that feels real and poignant#i've been rotating rystal gibeon crave quite a lot in my mind lately. love the implications here and there about rystal and leyla#not telling you everything but leaving enough implications to imagine stuff.. i can think of a whole life for rystal and it's neat.#also i like that.. every family member feels like their own person. that thing about everyone having their own life and feelings.#liko is different from lucca and diana. but there are still moments which feel affectionate where you can think she takes after them#refreshing take on ancestry tbh. it strikes delicate balance between knowing your roots and past and finding yourself#learning about past tragedies to give them proper closure because you can't do that if you don't know what happened#even with gibeon.. very pleased and impressed that they are putting care in his character's depiction#specifically showing him as a young man and giving depth and perspective to him. allowing him to be a full character.#instead of just saying he is terrible and ending it at that. he gets to be someone with dreams and motivations and relationships#we've seen little of crave but the implications are there to pick apart and they are interesting#it genuinely enriches amethio's character and his side of the story. to make his relatives distinct people with their own perspectives#like.. instead of just saying his relatives are the worst evil!! they are putting care in the depiction and make them nuanced#characters who feel real.. strained and messy relationships with room for growth and development#definitely gives me more appreciation for the narrative in general. it's a kind of story that i find appealing#actually pleased that ame's side of the story is like that.. it could have been flat but thankfully it isn't.#stories with multiple layers and perspectives to them. my beloved.#anyway the portrayal of ancestry and adult characters in horizons is neat. and interesting.#the way they are tackling that kind of narrative to add to characters like liko and amethio. it's cool#hopefully. we get more on gibeon soon. he specifically has me intrigued.. him and crave too.#the writers definitely have specific themes they like and it shows through the story.. it's neat.#character notes

Also I've been in this fandom for like 2.5 seconds approximately and I don't respect a single one of y'all BUT cmiiw the girlypop high femme lesbian mommy etcetc whatever PSH is a fairly new development isn't it. Like my first bias was Sanini but then I realized HJ is a diversely creative fairy prince who wears half-skirts, paints his nails and talks about fashion for men AND women and I was like O YES HI HELLO THIS ONE'S MINE HI. It's fascinating that apparently there's a whole genre of fans who see Joongie as the masculine dom to Hwa's willow-waisted femme omega bottom when like... They both have "masculine" and "feminine" traits. Above all that they're cool fun guys and I like them a lot (assigning gender to personality trait is finest grade dumbassery, not to mention gender essentialism. I don't recommend doing that)
#shrimp thoughts#just 2 be clear please do NOT take me for one of those nuts who make fun of people for seeing the 'wrong' character as the top/bottom#eg 'HE a TOP??? he's the SUBBIEST BOTTOM EVER lmfao whoever said this is a cishet teenage girl and doesn't know shit!!!'#I do not do that. However I generally don't like to see characters as strictly tops/strictly bottoms based on anything other than yknow.#Their canonically stated preferences (if they exist). Like cmon it's all fiction. 仲良くしましょう。#Same for like... that fortune teller or whatever telling San he's got feminine energy. First of all it's all a scam and I'm kinda#side-eyeing KQ for repeatedly sending the teezers to fortune tellers like y'all what. But second of all if Korea is anything like Japan the#their understanding of *sigh* feminine and masculine personality traits is different. See: Tomboy the song#to a westerner the girls are not even CLOSE to tomboys but in Japan a 'boyish' girl is simply one that's confident assertive#and takes no shit. so I wouldn't be surprised if San's 'femininity' was just his warmth and gentleness. though I wouldn't count these as#'feminine' traits -- if anything I'd talk about positive masculinity ALTHOUGH the way he talks about treating his potential future#daughters/the fanservicey lines about men needing to protect women/the things we know about his upbringing make me feel like he#has some... traditional ideas of masculinity in that a man is supposed to be emotionally resilient/not show weakness when his family#needs a strong pillar to lean on/protect what's his. but he's simply like... not a toxic asshole about it. his sincerity cuteness and#fondness of being a physically affectionate kittycat also help lol#anyway. that was julian's bullshit psychoanalysis corner. thankz
