《✧》   ━━    Caroline's   eyebrow   arched   skeptically   at   Klaus's   suggestion.   She   swirled   the   bourbon   in   her   glass,   studying   him   intently.   ❛   Wreak   havoc   ?   You   ?   The   big   bad   hybrid   wants   to   go   on   a   rampage   with   little   old   me   ?   ❜   Her   tone   dripped   with   sarcasm,   but   there   was   a   glimmer   of   intrigue   in   her   eyes.   She   downed   the   rest   of   her   drink   in   one   swift   motion,   slamming   the   glass   on   the   bar.   ❛   Alright,   Klaus.   Let's   see   what   you've   got.   But   don't   think   for   a   second   I'm   falling   for   your   act.   I   know   you're   up   to   something.   ❜   Caroline   strode   towards   the   door,   pausing   to   glance   back   at   him   over   her   shoulder.   ❛   Coming   ?   Or   are   you   all   talk   and   no   action   ?   ❜

As   they   walked   down   the   dimly   lit   street,   the   cool   air   was   thick   with   possibility.   Caroline's   mind   raced,   part   of   her   screaming   that   this   was   a   terrible   idea,   that   Klaus   couldn't   be   trusted.   But   another   part,   the   part   that   had   been   suffocating   under   the   weight   of   her   humanity,   thrilled   at   the   prospect   of   letting   loose   with   someone   who   could   truly   understood   the   darkness   within   her.   ❛   So,   what's   your   idea   of   havoc,   Klaus   ?   ❜   she   asked,   her   voice   a   dangerous   mix   of   challenge   and   curiosity.   ❛   Terrorize   some   locals   ?   Drain   a   few   unlucky   souls   ?   ❜   But   as   the   words   left   her   mouth   it   all   sounded   so   small   and   dull.   What   she   really   needed   was   something   truly   spectacular,   something   that   would   make   her   feel   alive   again.   She   stopped   abruptly,   turning   to   face   Klaus   with   a   wicked   gleam   in   her   eye.   ❛   No,   you   know   what   ?   I   have   a   better   idea,   ❜   Caroline   said,   her   voice   low   and   enticing.   ❛   Why   don't   we   crash   the   Mystic   Falls   Founder's   Day   Gala   ?   It's   happening   tonight   at   the   Lockwood   mansion.   All   those   self-important,   judgmental   people   who   think   they're   better   than   us...   wouldn't   it   be   fun   to   show   them   just   how   wrong   they   are   ?   ❜   Reckless   suggestion   number   one…

[  ....  ]                klaus  could  see  the  different  variety  of  emotions  swirling  around  in  her  eyes,  he  could  hear  the  faint  beat  of  her  dead  heart  begin  to  skip.  he  could  tell  she  didn't  trust  him,  not  one  bit,  and  he  didn't  blame  her.  he  did  have  another  motive  beyond  wanting  a  simple  drink  and  chat  with  her.  he  wished  that's  all  he  wanted  when  it  came  to  caroline,  but  he  had  a  much  bigger  mission  at  stake.  he  needed  to  help  her  find  the  light  inside  of  her  that  is  desperately  flickering,  wanting  to  give  out.  he  refused  to  believe  the  caroline  he  had  fallen  in  love  with  had  disappeared.  to  live  like  this,  with  no  humanity  or  morals,  hurting  humans,  he  knew  she  wouldn't  be  able  to  forgive  or  live  with  herself  once  she  came  back  to  her  normal  sense  ...  if  she  ever  did.  that's  why  he  was  here;  not  as  a  favor  to  any  of  her  friends,  but  to  her.  he  owed  to  caroline.  he  shrugged  nonchalantly,  pursing  his  bottom  lip  a  bit,   ❝   i  suppose  there's  only  one  way  to  find  out,  luv   ...   ❞  he  replied.   ❝   is  the  tough  caroline  all  of  a  sudden  afraid  of  a  little  manipulation  ?   ❞   he  added,  just  to  press  her  buttons  and  get  her  riled  up.

he  never  took  his  eyes  off  her,  absolutely  mesmerized  by  her  movements.   ❝   you  know  me  so  well,  caroline   ...   ❞   he  smirked  a  wicked  one,  one  that  stretched  from  ear  to  ear.  he  turned  in  his  stool,  watching  her  move  to  behind  the  bar  to  pour  them  both  a  glass  of  neat  bourbon.  he  took  his  glass  and  clinked  it  back  to  hers,  taking  a  humble  sip  before  placing  it  down  and  licking  his  lips.   ❝   i  suppose  so.  to  who  we  truly  are   —   ❞   he  repeated,  even  though  he  definitely  didn't  agree  with  the  new  version  of  herself.  this  isn't  caroline,  but  she  needed  some  convincing  for  her  to  see  that  too.  he  listened  to  her  words,   ❝   a  lot  can  happen  in  a  year,  caroline   ❞   he  starts  out,  leaning  in  against  the  edge  of  the  bar  to  stare  into  her  eyes.   ❝   i  suppose  if  a  year  is  all  you're  looking  for,  i  suggest  we  get  started  then.  let's  go  wreak  some  havoc,  shall  we  ?   ❞ @thewiickedones.

i've been lurking around the rosekiller tag for a long while and i see a lot of people asking for rosekiller-centric fic recs, so if anyone cares here's my hand-picked list of rosekiller fic recs. this includes a lot of the popular ones but also some less-popular and very underrated ones (i think). anyways hopefully i'm doing this right cuz i've never posted on here before soo pls be kind if i make a mistake abt something idk.

this includes both long/multi-chapter fics and one shots btw.

also be warned; this is pretty long even though i tried to keep things short-ish (but i can't help it these are all such good fics i have to talk about them!!!). if you want the rough-ish approximation of this list in the form of a spreadsheet with more details (me ranting about how much i love these fics), click here.

LONG FICS (or basically just more than 1 chapter fics)

why do stars fall down from the sky, every time that you walk by by ricecake_13 (E, 117k, 17/?) this is actually my favorite ongoing rosekiller fic ever oh my god, it's a modern high school au with lots of povs and ships though rosekiller is the main one. beautifully written, gorgeous plot/pacing, amazing characterization, incredibly underrated, please read this it's a masterpiece.

The Blood of Hyacinthus by writingamarie (M, 175k, 14/20) another one of my fav ongoing fics, it's a canon compliant rosekiller fic (ravenclaw barty my beloved!!!) starting from first year all throughout the war. this is probably the best portrayal of canon compliant rosekiller i've seen, they aren't portrayed as poor kids who got roped into the war, they made their own decisions, and i love it so much.

Just Deserts by paletragedycat (M, 700k, 43/?) i'm at around like chapter 10 of this absolute beast of a fic and i am begging you guys to give this fic more attention. it's absolutely incredibly written with a fantastic plot, gorgeous characterization, this fic is absolutely insane like. this deserves to be like the crimson rivers of rosekiller. the plot is lowkey kinda hard to explain but umm. some of them are detectives, some of them are bodyguards, some of them are criminals. super cool. this fic is actually just so so impressive and so incredibly underrated it hurts.

sun tea in the summer by cademygod (NR, 44k, 10/12) this is THE rosekiller coming of age story i swear, modern au that starts when they're kids and each chapter they age 1 year, super cute and fluffy, i am such a sucker for childhood friends to lovers tropes omg.

Evan Rosier and the Unbearable Weight of his Own Decisions by Mylifeisaworm (E, 145k, 35/?) another great portrayal of canon compliant rosekiller, i really love how this one features all the slytherins we typically don't like (snape, mulciber, wilkes, etc.) bc it makes this fic feel even more realistic. this is a super awesome take on canon rosekiller and i love it.

Head Over Feet by sanguinerose (E, 136k, 27/27) i'm sure you guys have heard of this one but it's a modern au, super great, it's everything i've ever wanted from a rosekiller high school au. and evan is french btw god i love french evan rosier so much.

PRETTY BOY by IvyCore (E, 96k, 10/10) this is part of a series, the first part is SUGAR HIGH which is a jegulus fic but honestly this can probably?? be read without reading that one first (even though i still super recommend it). barty is a sex worker and a pianist and evan is a restaurant owner and this is just so so good omg.

intermission by bizarrestars (M, 43k, 4/4) very sure you all have heard of this fic (and for good reason too, it's fantastic) but in case you haven't it's a no voldemort au but still at hogwarts and in the same universe as just lovers (jegulus, also amazing, like the second marauders fic i read i think). this is so sweet and fluffy and cute and this fic is what got me into rosekiller i think soo yeah.

Tug by pressedink (E, 70k, 12/?) rosekiller dating app au where they pair two strangers together in an apartment and they can do whatever except they can't kiss or else they can never seen each other again. except barty and evan are not strangers. i loove this fic, and it's super smutty if that's up your alley. (did i use that phrase right? i feel like i didn't but whatever.)

Beneath the Mask by orphan_account (T, 105k, 44/44) okay this one is a really interesting concept, it's broken up into two timelines: one following them during their hogwarts years and the other following evan while he navigates life after the wizarding war. idk it's a bit hard to explain but. you'll see. so yeah all the war stuff does happen but they both survive afterwards. i really enjoyed this, it was a really interesting take on the whole war situation.

A Truthful Joke by justreadandwritex (T, 30k, 9/9) best friends to lovers au set at hogwarts but idk if voldemort exists (if he does he's not mentioned). just rosekiller being incredibly stupid and cute and oblivious.

Straight A's by stargirly161 (T, 32k, 14/14) academic rivals to lovers rosekiller oh my god i need to see more of them. another pretty popular one and understandably so because it's amazing in every aspect, i've reread this one like 3 times.

Ant Pile by sommerregenjuniluft (E, 21k, 2/2) super super amazing rosekiller coming of age fic and childhood best friends to lovers, god i love this fic. the story starts when they're little kids and it is the most adorable thing ever and ends when they're like 18 and it's just. so good. please read it.

having a ghost in my bed by v7lgar (E, 42k, 3/3) modern au and okayyy wow this is legit just smut all the way through and WOW is it something, this is like some of the best rosekiller smut i've read. if you're just looking for some smut this is the place to look.

I'm Not Gonna Teach Him How to Dance with You by greensenne (M, 122k, 18/18) you've probably heard of this one but i'm still including it, this is set post-hogwarts (so there's still magic i think) but it's a no voldemort au. basically barty's getting married and evan is his best man except Feelings get in the way. very very cute, quite slow burn but it's very worth it.

Tender Curiosities, Baby! by otrtbs (M, 79k, 6/6) ahh another popular one, it's in the same universe as art heist, baby! which you have probably definitely heard of (it's a fantastic jegulus art heist fic). anywayss yeah this fic focuses on rosekiller and it is so so good, idk if it can be read as a standalone though...cause there are a lot of references to ahb!

Rock Bottom by floretissogay (T, 7.9k, 10/10) super super cute and fluffy rosekiller texting fic, there's like zero angst it's literally just fluff and silliness.

Off the Edge of the Earth, and Farther Still by typhoid_fluu (M, 17k, 11/?) this one hasn't been updated in a while buut it's a canon compliant rosekiller au following them throughout hogwarts starting from first year. super cute, at least so far (cuz they're still in first year).

annoying by facestraightoutamagazine (M, 101k, 31/31) another great texting fic, it's a wrong number au and goddd i'm a sucker for those. this one has like minimal angst, it's all just vibes and silliness, it's super cute and funny and i've reread this one like 3 times.

Say Something by writingamarie (E, 43k, 12/12) PLEASE give this fic more attention i am begging. it's incredible in every aspect - the writing, the characterization, the pacing (especially the pacing omg you'll see what i mean when you read this fic), everything. rosekiller friends with benefits will always be my favorite. please guys just please this fic is so underrated it hurts.

bad idea, right? by sparklejumpropequeen79 (NR, 30k, 13/?) this fic got discontinued but i really liked it while i was reading it so i'm still mentioning it in case you don't mind reading fics that won't be finished? idk. no voldemort au where barty and evan are really stupid about their feelings. typical rosekiller stuff.

kiss him you fool. by everlovelymoony (M, 8k, 4/4) this fic is so goddamn cute i actually can't. barty is a kindergarten teacher and luna is in his class and evan is luna's uncle. can we please please have more rosekiller teacher AUs please.

Obsessed by andromeden (E, 40k, 2/2) barty stalks his boyfriend's ex and uhh yeah. this is 40k words of barty and evan being incredibly fucked up and also made for each other. rosekiller at their finest, you know. probably mind the tags though.

Ashes to Ashes by lupinist (M, 13k, 3/3) rosekiller friends to lovers never gets old. very well written, amazing dynamic and characterization, super underrated!

a rose will be for a rose (timelessness for your love) by iWrite (T, 6.8k, 2/2) rosekiller spin the bottle and being dumbasses about their feelings. only a light bit of angst, super cute, love it.

show me those pretty white jaws by 214lilacsky (E, 144k, 15/15) recently started reading this one and i do not know what took me so long because holy shit the writing is beautiful, the characterization is beautiful, just like. this whole fic. beautiful. wow. this is a fairly popular one i think and i absolutely see why.

Pickup or Delivery by lifeisabitch (E, 41k, 15/15) this is so so good, i am absolutely obsessed with their characterization and dynamic here. they are absolute freaks and i am living for it.

i would say i love you (but it's so hard, i won't say it at all) by avesgraveyard (M, 74k, 9/?) road trip au with a bunch of other marauders characters, this is super super cute and evan and barty are incredibly bad at feelings (as they always are) and i just. love this so much. i've reread this one many times before.

with a taste of your lips im on a run by siriusstardust (G, 6.9k, 2/?) wrong number rosekiller au that i am really really enjoying so far, it's super cute and funny and silly.

ONE-SHOTS

no one’s gonna say anything against a dude kissing his homie good luck by sommerregenjuniluft (M, 3k) literally the title, they're skateboarding, uhhh yeah. i really like the vibes of this fic, evan and barty are dumbass teenagers who are toootally just platonic, which is honestly my favorite version of rosekiller.

loving you (is the antidote) by serendipitysirius (M, 13k) amortentia fic, sue me i'm a sucker for those. it is canon compliant but voldemort and the war aren't really mentioned.

don’t want none of this (good times, all the time) by cheeryknots (M, 3.9k) one of my fav rosekiller one shots, i swear i reread this like once every two months lol. it's set at hogwarts and they're at a party and they play spin the bottle and they get Jealous and it's just! so good.

Holding My Heart Out In Shaking Hands by twoclosetothestars (NR, 9k) modern au, i read this one a while ago but i remember really enjoying it. this one has it all; smut, angst, and fluff (in that order).

[ganondoodle]

i keep seeing it around so while i havent gotten all shrines myself yet (bc i havent felt motivated to play atm) im absolutely sure that weird armor is supposed to be the hero from the tapestry and its supposed to be a mix of hylians and zonau .. i guess its confirmed then that rauru and sonia had kids, somehwere off screen in the background dw they couldnt be important to anything lmao, and that the ancient hero was half zonau (shouldnt it be the princess tho- or cant we have a weird looking zelda ..?) and i

i know i have annoying opinions about this game to hell and back and i might be the only one who keeps finding things to be annoying about but-

the ancient hero being yet again connected to the zonau just ... ugh, i dont like it; not just bc its a very lackluster reveal to a neat mystery that in my eyes didnt need solving (it was cool to theorize about it being ganondorf but that aint possible now that we know what happens in totk...) but it makes it all feel even more like ... an after thought? like, you got the old tapestry from that time still and while a lot of history was lost (or destroyed really) about the ancient shiekah .. why would the zonau be just completely forgotten when theres living evidence and people descended from them still there back in those ancient shiekah days and you are telling me know one knew they actually existed? and how did their genetics get compeltely wiped out like that? since sonia mentions that our zelda has both time and light magic it kinda directly implies one of her ancestors must have been one of those half zonaus

like yeah 10 000 years is a long ass time and if you keep mixing it with hylian genes it will end up pretty unrecognizable, but that still just kinda ... there must have been many weird middle stages of that, and no one thoguht to mention the strange looking hylians, however many there were? ESPECIALLY considering it must have been the royal family but then why did the princess on the tapestry look like her perfect princessy self and the hero whos more often than not unrelated to them was one of the half zonau? did sonia have more family that took over the ruling instead of her kids and the royal family was without zonau genes for the longest time until it somehow intermingled at some point before botw? how boring is it to have that be a thing and then not let a single feature of them survive? no tiny horns? no slightly strange anatomy? no a little toooo big ears? not even skin color? (ironically ganondorf skintone is the closest to the zonau lmao)

my questions really dont need answering im just throwing my brain farts onto this website bc i wont be hunted for sport here and can actually write it all out in one post; i really feels like they saw any mystery as something they could cram zonau stuff into when it was really just a neat thing added in botw to make the world feel more believable, yeah any old world with such a long history would have some mysteries that can never get solved, some ancient remains that are remnants of a time long past and forgotten, the fact that you cannot go back in time to ask is such a big part of what makes a good mystery so interesting, that longing for knowledge you can never obtain- and they answered it all in the most boring way possible, yeah look im gonna show you the last two of them in very much enclosed and non recognozable environments and tell you about how who it was and they had everything, invented everythign and were the bestest and coolest and have been everywhere before you, theres nothing they havent done before you did, but also they just all died out for unknown reasons and never bother to tell you anything that isnt look how bad the bad guy is we were too dumb to stop despite you literally talking to the last of them and running around with them in a robot next to you

like i get im bad at words so im probably not gonna get my point across but its just so ... unsatisfying, every mystery from botw being solved by just ... yo it was the cool zonau guys, every single time is so ... way to make me care less about this world that i cared so much about

dont get me wrong i loved theorizing about who they were and all the unsolved stuff but thats exactly my point, its fun to think about the possibilities knowing and not even wanting anything confirmed to be a certain way bc its more fun to think about the what ifs than get told thats how it was

all the questions that remain are really just .. logical questions that either dont have an answer that makes it work or just make it worse, why the heck did the oh so godly zonau die out and never mention anything of it, if they really came from the sky originally why is so much of their culture inspired by underground stuff (light seeds/ferns- construct design beign inspired by gigama), why did no one every bother to mention the weird half zonau people in all the ancient texts, how did all that stuff get lost so badly when no one campaigned to destroy their memory and descdendants of them still ran around, whats with all the continutiy problems to botw-

its the unfun kind of plotholes that really make this game much less fun to me, despite gameplay and music being so good

i guess this game hit my limit of their gameplay over story ways

got visually spoiled on the literally last thing i was still actively missing and working towards in totk but i dont think im gonna like it anyway ...

if it is what i think it is, and what it looks like to be, its just yet another nail in the coffin (or however you say that) as to why the lore sucks in this game even tho it had such good setup and so much potential

[alverrann]

All right, I couldn't stop thinking about how cute s2e21 “Peak Performance” is, so here's my quick post gushing abt it.

How Picard is like "No my Number One is the best shut up and watch" the whole episode - he's so protective and then so smug when Riker does well

How Data has his little self-confidence crisis - bad enough that Deanna and Pulaski are like "no but fr he's depressed and yr basically his dad pls talk to him"

The talk itself, which is amazing advice regardless of whether ur an android or not

How the war games are almost like a little field trip where Riker goes to all of his friends to be like "but u are coming, right?"

Esp the bit where he goes to Geordi and is like "It's a really old ship and I'm gonna need someone I can trust-" And Geordi just goes,

"I'm already packed."

The whole bit with him asking for an extra crewmember and then choosing Wes, and the way Wesley's face lights up 😭

Him convincing Worf, and then making him the first officer!

And Wesley basically cheating, to which both Riker and Geordi are like ... okay, cool

The whole episode is definitely one of my favorites and the ending is just *chef's kiss*

Pulaski: "Then you have beaten him!"

Data; "It is a matter of perspective, Doctor. In the strictest sense, I did not win."

Pulaski and Troi: "Data ..."

Data: "I busted him up."

And the way Picard is like "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose, Data. That is not a weakness, that is life." Goes so hard unironically

Just fr one of my fav episodes

Featuring Quark as a Ferengi pirate

[casscainmainly]

Hi! I recently stumbled on your blog and immediately had to follow because Cass Cain centered blogs are so rare and this is like finding a hidden gem.

I noticed that you're a comic book reader and I was wondering if you could recommend some comics that explore Cass as a character? Or stories centering her that you particularly like?

Thank you either way and I hope you're doing well 💜

Hi!! I can ABSOLUTELY recommend some Cass comics, it might be my favourite thing in the world to do. If you want to dive into her entire history, check out this reading list from @dailycass-cain (they're a great Cass-centric blog too!).

Here are some of my fav Cass Cain stories:

Batgirl (2000) - the ultimate Cass comic and an excellent starting point. This gives you pretty much everything you need to know about her, and lays the groundwork for all future stories. You could literally read nothing else and still get an excellent Cass experience with these 70+ issues.

Gotham Knights #2 - Gotham Knights is a fun series featuring many of the Bat-cast, and #2 is a Bruce and Cass story set on a sinking ship. This is an incredible one-shot that explores a big aspect of Cass' character, with some excellent Bruce-Cass moments along the way.

Gates of Gotham - set during DickBats time, this is a gem in an era that wasn't kind to Cass. A great Batfam story, this is still the only significant Damian-Cass development we've ever gotten, and the Tim, Dick, and Cass interactions are all so good. This doesn't get talked about nearly enough, please read it!

Tynion's Detective Comics (2016) - this Cass isn't exactly the same as previous runs (she was erased and brought back with a different backstory). However, this run restores a lot of Cass' traits, and has some truly excellent Cass moments throughout. It's also a great run for Batwoman and Tim! I would recommend knowing the history behind New 52/Rebirth, as well as Batman & Robin: Eternal, before reading this.

Shadow of the Batgirl - out of continuity, but this YA graphic novel is actually a great starting point, or a supplementary to everything else. Though events are different, this story really gets Cass; her relationship to Babs, to Batgirl, to language and to culture are really highlighted here. I see this one a lot at libraries, so it might be more accessible than some of the other comics here!

Other comics you can check out are Batgirl (2024) and Birds of Prey (2023). These are ongoing and amazing so definitely check them out (they're not great entry points for Cass, so I would read the above list first). Also, Ram V's Detective Comics is not Cass-centric but has amazing Cass moments, and Spirit World (2023) is a fun Cass adventure that is tied to her Chinese heritage. Finally, DCeased: Unkillables is a really fun Elseworlds story featuring Cass and Jason against zombies. Lowkey the only universe I accept Cass and Jason getting along, so check it out!

a/n: basically i just had this thought of castiel catsitting my cat (her name is Butters, and yes, she's featured in this fic) and it made my brain go all mushy bc i just love him so much. anyway.

Watching a cat shouldn’t be too hard, for all intents and purposes. Watching your cat, earning your favor, well that would just be a bonus. Unfortunately, Castiel doesn’t understand cats that much.

“Okay, that should be about it,” you said, hands on your hips as you looked at the angel next to you. He was carefully analyzing all the different things you laid out on the counter: toys, food, meds, etc. “Any questions?”

“She eats baby food? Not cat food?” Castiel clarified, pointing to the turkey Gerbers still in its twelve-pack on the counter.

“Well, she’s a baby, and it’s better for her stomach,” you chuckled.

“I thought she was a grown cat,” Castiel says, confused. He looks over at said cat, a stocky cream-colored Persian you referred to as Butters. To him, she seemed to be full-grown.

“Every cat is just a little baby, even when they’re grown,” you give Butters a scratch behind her ears, and she lets out a meep sound reminiscent of what you dub ‘a sad trumpet.’ Castiel still looks confused. “Never mind….will you be okay? It’s just for two days while I finish this case.”

“I will be sufficient,” Castiel almost puffs out his chest at this.

"Great! You're the best, Cas," you pat his arm, grabbing your duffel bag and leaving out the front door. Castiel stands still briefly before looking at the fluffy creature beside him. Wide yellow eyes peer up at him, blinking. He looks back at the detailed paper you wrote, ensuring he got everything. He wanted to make sure he did his best.

It was around night that Castiel started to worry. He had entertained Butters for a sufficient time, then sat with her on the couch while she watched a movie. (You said that she liked Finding Nemo, so Castiel put it on. He found the movie to be strangely sad). It was her dinner time, and Castiel had put out a scoop of baby food as required, except that it had been hours, and she wasn't eating it. She was sitting on the couch, letting out gentle purrs and seeming fine. Still, Castiel was concerned. He decided to call Dean for answers.

"I think something is wrong with the cat," Cas said into the phone. "It won't eat its dinner. It's just sleeping."

"I'm sure it's fine," Dean sighed, obviously not wanting to be a part of this conversation.

"If there's something wrong with the cat--"

"Cats are weird. They don't always follow set schedules," Dean groaned, feeling agitated. He took a second before responding. "Is it fine otherwise?"

"...Yes."

"Then the cat is fine," Dean replied. "Call me when something actually useful pops up."

Dean hung up, and Castiel looked back towards the cat. It had woken up, blinking its eyes at the angel. It let out another meep, tucking its paws underneath it. Castiel gave it a pat on the head.

"Your food is over there," Cas pointed towards the food bowl. Butters just meeped again. "I just told you where your food was." Another meep. "I don't understand."

Butters, eventually exasperated, got up and jumped off the couch, walking over to Cas. She rubbed against his pant legs, walking back and forth and making more noises. Castiel gave her a few pets, showing a small smile when she responded happily to his ministrations. She rolled over, showing her belly, and Castiel gave it a few hesitant strokes. Eventually, Butters grew tired and walked over to her food bowl. The angel let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. 

You came home after two days, finding your cat and your angel sitting on the couch watching Luca on the TV. Both of them looked equally enraptured. 

“You survived,” you smiled, earning Castiel's attention. He turned towards you with soft blue eyes, and your heart skipped a beat. 

“It meows a lot,” Castiel stated, looking toward the feline companion beside him. She let out a meep in response. 

“She has lots of opinions,” you chuckle, walking over and giving a big squish to your cat. She purrs happily, even letting you boop her nose. Cas looks at you both fondly. Without really sparing a second thought, you leaned over, kissing Castiel’s cheek and enjoying when a red flush coated his face. “You’re the best, Castiel.”

Cas sat there for a minute, even after you’d gone to the kitchen for some water, even after he couldn’t feel your lips on his cheek anymore. All he could think was that if catsitting meant getting a kiss, he’d have to catsit for you more often.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 I recently made another tf2 sims family! After work, I’m always too exhausted to get in the mindset to play tf2 but I still wanna see the goobers so I curated a household with Spy, Sniper, Medic & Scout! Both Spy and Scoot are vampires 🦇 (someone asked me if my Spy & Scout sims are related and yep they are. To be clear these tf2 households I make are to cringe out with my fav ships and to play as the mercs if they were retired lol)

Anyways onto some derpy pause screens :3

Scout doing sit ups in the kitchen lol go off I guess

“Do you like stars?”

“Ya their cool.”

Very canon of Spy lol

The furnished house I had picked for them was FULL of garlic wreaths so I had to delete them all. I forgot to delete a couple and Spy & Scout ended up getting sick & complaining for hours…

Also I finally stopped being a lazy pos and compiled the mix of creators that I use for my tf2 sim family’s! Feel free to look them up if you’re not up to making them yourself like me! Making sims in CAS is very long and time consuming so these are the most accurate tf2 sims I’ve personally found! I’m really sorry for not mentioning this sooner. I only tweak them myself slightly with their personality’s, switch up their clothes maybe and do some body alterations but all of these are originally NOT made by me.)

Medic sim - FeralRabidCrow

Scout, Sniper & Spy sim - Scout5000

I’ve also used Cole7Winters designs for other mercs like Demo & Engie. I kinda just mash up different mercs made by multiple creators into my household’s if that makes sense. Please go check out their work they’re all super talented! Especially Scout5000 their Spy sim is one of the best I’ve seen so far! (I play with the base game and only own one expansion pack… so yeah these are ALL made with just the base game features and clothing! :3)
