I don't know what the rest of you think but I feel like Uncle Jimmy is living his best life. I'd much rather dance around a fire in an old orchard reciting poems and stories in a beard and a jumper than "stand in the presence of kings". Instead of bowing to them he has his own fairy kingdom. I guess Emily might mean that might have been more consistently creative and would have written down his work and been more presentable to the world had he not hit his head. But it seems Uncle Jimmy already is plenty happy. He has a home, money to spend and spare, a garden and grounds to tend. Perhaps this is another inkling of Emily's search for glory. Though, had Uncle Jimmy been inclined to seek recognition, his family or society would hardly have stood in his way, like for Emily.

I love the atmosphere of this half of the chapter so very much. It was one of my favourite chapters to read again and again as a kid. I used to spend summers on our cabin reading these books, sitting by the firepit where we barbecued in the evenings after sauna, and it was very easy to step into these scenes from there.

Oh, the number of times I have tried to recreate Teddy's whistle. Yes, I'm of the persuasion that when a character keeps twisting their face or smiling cheekily, I need to do it too while reading. And yes, I'm doing it again as I write this. [It's even worse for characters I've written myself. Once kept adding "hmm-hoooo" after each sentence in my mind for weeks after writing an owl who kept doing that. Hmm-hooo]

Now I'm wondering if Teddy by himself would have been magic with his call and his witchy art, if his mother wasn't so strange and wreathed in mystery or does he draw it from the New Moon atmosphere. Am I being unkind to Teddy making him just an extension of someone else? Who knows.

Another rather "simple" Irish person. Kelly is distinctly an Irish name. Maybe there should be a Paddy Watch in this club.

I'm now fascinated with Aunt Elizabeth's moods. Was there a reason for this mood that had no cause that no one could placate, or was she herself the reason. I've had a friend or two who've had these moods where they take out some internal stuff on other people, while also not being able to discern that that's what it is. [Come to think of it, as someone who works in customer service I'm aware that some people even live their whole lives in such moods.] But I mean, poor cat. I can forgive Aunt Elizabeth much, but not her hatred of cats.

Star Trek: Discovery (5x07 Erigah)

[rockspider556]

ohhh Achilles and Patroclus this, Achilles and Patroclus that, WRONG. NBC Hannibal is a Hades and Persephone re-telling and I CAN PROVE IT:

Hannibal is literally a king of the underworld (his mind palace? a labyrinth of death, decay, and artfully arranged bodies).

Kore’s Becoming: Will starts as Kore (the maiden), naive to his own darkness. Over time, through Hannibal’s influence, he transforms into Persephone, Bringer of Destruction—a process that the show explicitly fixates on. The way Hannibal sees Will before Will even sees himself? That’s Hades recognizing Persephone’s potential before she fully understands it.

Jack as Demeter: Jack Crawford desperately trying to "save" Will, trying to pull him back to the surface world, only to realise Will is never fully coming back. The way Demeter fought to retrieve Kore but ultimately had to accept that she had changed into Persephone? That’s Jack realising that part of Will is always going to belong to Hannibal now.

Food as a tether: Hannibal doesn’t just feed Will—he indoctrinates him through food. Just like Hades gives Persephone the pomegranate seeds, Hannibal’s meals are an irreversible threshold. Once Will eats, he’s his.

Will isn’t some helpless victim, either. He’s the Queen of this place. Persephone doesn’t just live in the underworld, she rules it. She is feared. and Will—oh, Will—he doesn’t just follow Hannibal, he learns to dance with him. He doesn’t just descend into Hannibal’s darkness; he reshapes it.

Oh and the best part? Persephone may return to the surface, but she always comes back to the underworld. Will tries to escape, tries to be normal, but he always comes back to Hannibal, to the place where he is understood, to the world where he belongs.

oh you wanna think about muse and trickster? yeah? it's been a while since I put a heartbreaking nhw post in your inbox <3 I know u love the prime dehumanization loss of bodily autonomy defenders. << im not even remotely trying to keep the acronym the same anymore. I've lost the plot. ANYWAY

briefly mentioned this before but because I loooove the aesthetic so much I think at least one important muse confrontation should happen in the tricksters city, specifically in the amusement park. make it like a fuckign scooby door episode everything is all abandoned and run down but as the wards are walking down a boardwalk or something all the lights flicker on and some distorted fuckign. carnival music starts playing and they find muse sitting in like. the rebar scaffolding or whatever in the ferris wheel. just like grinning chin in hands kicking his feet watching them. this image is so clear in my mind. some creep shit !!!! also its like when they first go to the spirit world to get tide back from.mal and end up in the amusement park. except ashe isn't with them this time

uhhhhhh also thinking about. downtime. when muse isn't out being destructive and causing chaos for funsies. like... does he have a bedroom????? does he eat does he sleep??? idfk !!!! I would assume he has to or else he'd fucking die but !!!! man the trickster is so far gone I don't think he even realizes his puppets are real people anymore. that's a fun little doll for him to play dressup with. literally never going 2 get the image of him braiding muses hair and like. putting makeup on him and dressing him in fancy little outfits out of my mind. making myself ILL. smile! good evening I'm gently placing the knife box in your in. << as I was going to type inbox I accidentally typed out inventory. yknow what I'm keeping it. knife box directly into your inventory. watch out they're RUSTY

GOD. THANKS FOR THE KNIFE BOX MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! knife box directly in my inventory!!! u know what this means is that now i can use them :3 <- has been drawing wards stuff abt this for the past two hours ^_^

this is so fucking good though yeahhh.... i love creepy carnival shit so much. he trickster probably Knows it's very over the top and horror movie creepy and just a little absurd. he's so fucking fun 2 think abt since he's literally always doing shit simply because it is funny to him. we can swing a trickster justification for anything probably. i bet he fucking saw traps people!! anyway. ashe isn't with them this time. except..... well. he kind of is. :(

I HAVE ALSO BEEN THINKING ABT DOWNTIME. FREQUENTLY. i guess. the answer to this is he lives however the trickster&co does. the image of him coming back in his fancy intricate little outfits to some disgusting nasty bloody industrial warehouse where they're posted up & always being this very jarring contrast to the gore and violence is really good. the image of him having a perfect doll bedroom and going through a fancy little routine half the nights when the trickster is in a good mood or feeling it & just. getting thrown on the bed & the door locked to pass out for a couple hours whenever he forgets or is busy is also really good. literally anything we do to muse makes me feel some kind of way man. i also have had the extremely vivid image of the trickster braiding his hair & chatting about all kinds of horrific things excited sleepover style to muse who is just. Visibly Not There in my head for so long. not even like he has to touch him, he could be making him do all these things for himself! he's literally controlling him! he just does it for fun!!!

anyway i think post-muse ashe should get to freak out very badly in a multitude of ways whenever anybody touches his hair. like i think he's touch-adverse in general (& miserable about it because he's also so touchstarved & his brain simply whites out in distress anytime anyone touches him because. literally the only person doing that was the trickster!!!!) but i think specifically his hair being messed with is a bad trigger for him. makes him freeze up n go nonverbal for hours. dakota knows that he's jumpy about touch but he still wants to do something for him & before the everything he loved them playing with his hair (its so long!! wibby & dakota think its so pretty!! virion's the only one who knows how to braid it because of his mom!! ashe melts into a puddle over it every time because nobody's ever done that for him before!) so he goes to just run fingers through it & ashe just. fullbody locks up and goes weird and still and silent & doesn't protest or fight back when dakota shakes his shoulder or smth and his eyes are distant and sort of dark and empty like virion's were most of the time when they first met him... maybe he wants to cut it a little bit just because he hates that it's been covered in The Ooze and he can't do anything with it without thinking about how the trickster would do the same thing but also he hates the idea of getting rid of the one thing abt himself that he really likes & is a little connection with both of his parents because of the trickster also, when he's already taken so much from him. (it does have to get gross and tangled and matted because he refuses to put it back or do anything to it for a while though. maybe virion helps him sort it out & it's slow and painstaking and miserable for both of them and they both feel better at the end of it.)

8, 11, and 15 :]

8: what’s a fabric/texture that’s nostalgic for you?

probably the fabric of my first tails plushie. theres just something about that old plushie fabric that just hits me so hard in the gut

11: do you have a favorite comfort item? tell us about it?

so my favorite comfort item is actually one of those fat seal plushies. one of my high school friends got him for me for my birthday and he sorta accidentally became a comfort item lmao. i usually hug him when im sad or punch him in the face so he looks fucked up when i’m frustrated

i definitely have comfort items that are older than he is, but he’s my favorite

15: comfort food?

for a while i actually didn’t think i had a comfort food until i recently ate noodles with butter sauce and went “oh there it is”

so yeah, noodles with butter sauce

I LOVE SO MUCH WHEN PEOPLE WRITE, DRAW OR EVEN JUST TALK ABOUT ECLIPSE FEDERATION.

Your happy ending fic actually made me feel weak. Like, they're so happy and silly, but still a bit awkward. I want them to hug until they'll lose their hearts to each other!

I have good news for you about how many eclipse fed fics I have (either 8 or 9 depending on whether you count the vitalasy&planetlord one)! Admittedly only one of them is happy but if you’re just looking for Any Writing About Eclipse Fed, there is absolutely more of that on my ao3 :D thank you so much for the compliments!!!

Random HC time:

T.C.‘s annoyed by the fact that the humans in their community have a Floof Meter, and it miffs him so much that they use it in casual convo like it’s a beauty meter of some sort -

“Yeah, but Choo Choo? That’s some neat little bit of Siamese and Himalayan - 6/10 right there ❤️”

“Yeah, man. Brain, Benny and Top Cat tho..? 4/10 regular short tabby fur, ain’t nothing special.”

“What about Spook? He’s got short fur too, kinda.”

“Yeah, but it’s like, soft and ripply. You know like when you drag your hand across a soft carpet and it leaves a darker path - hey, don’t judge me.”

“What do yall think of Fancy’s?”

Everyone: “8/10 EXCELLENT FLOOF MASTER OF FLUMF you can see the Maine Coon in him you think he’ll let me sink my face in his fur-“

Tl;dr Humans’ and cats’ ideas and standards of what a handsome/pretty cat entails are different and Dibble’s just having a fun time watching T.C. be so miffed by all this.
