VC characters as cat breeds
(as requested by @hiidkwhatimdoing7525):
Part One - VC characters as dogs
Louis:
Louis would be a Bombay cat as they both have strong family attachments and are suitable with children. They are perfectly happy being indoors, providing their needs are met and tend to prefer quieter environments. Also, Bombays have black fur and sometimes green eyes – Louis has black hair green eyes. Basically they look the same.
Lestat:
Lestat is a Norwegian Forest cat, due to their friendly nature and being good with people. They're very interactive/sociable with loads of energy and like a family environment (think Lestat during PL era). They also love to play.
Claudia:
Claudia is a Tortoiseshell cat. They are often described as being 'divas', which I feel can been attributed to Claudia in her own way. They like things done according to them and can have a bit of a quick temper. They can also be inclined to lash out at their owners(/parents) with an 'increased aggression' and an interest in prey.
Armand:
Armand would be a Russian Blue cat because as well as the similar origins (the cats are Russian, Armand is Ukrainian), they share a 'curious but calm' nature. They can also be 'affectionate but not clingy' (though I feel Armand certainly has 'clingy' moments depending on the person/surroundings) and are very intelligent. They are playful when comfortable around others and can be loving. They generally become attached to one particular person, forming a deep connection with them.
Marius:
Marius is 100% a Maine Coon in my eyes. Maine Coons are one of the oldest natural cat breeds in North America, and Marius is an old bitch at 2,000 years old, soooo ya. They are often known as gentle giants and are loyal to their family, though they can be cautious ( but not necessarily mean) towards strangers. Due to their gentleness, they are good around others, including children (not like that in regards to Marius. He took boys under his wing in Venice remember and gave them good lives). They also have a fascination with water (again, Marius lived in Venice, Aegean etc).
Pandora:
Pandora would be a British Shorthair cat as they're not necessarily overly playful or active, but they are devoted and sweet - natured to those they love as well as being good around others. They don't like being in the air and much prefer being on the ground (the cats don't like being picked up/carried and Pandora doesn't like flying).
Daniel:
Daniel is a Persian cat due to their tendency to be generally quiet. They can be close and affectionate towards people they know (for some reason this made me think of Devil's Minion when Armand goes away for a while and Daniel starts to miss him. Or when Daniel runs off only to get Armand to take him back home eventually).
Quinn:
Quinn would be a Siberian cat. They have an easy - going, friendly, playful and adventureous nature. They're very social and love to be in an active family household. They also like water (Quinn goes out in the swamps? Bit of a reach but hey).
Khayman:
Khayman is a Scottish Fold through and through. They are both good - natured, placid and affectionate as well as being able to adjust easily to a changed environment. They also hate to be alone.
Gabrielle:
Gabrielle is just a straight up Tabby/Tom cat. A basic cat. A cat kinda cat. They are independent and love to roam around looking for girls. They can be territorial and aggressive. I also personally believe Gabrielle would appreciate being a male tom cat. It's very gender of her. Being a straight up dude looking for gals.
#i hope you've enjoyed this little sequal to vc characters as dog breeds#this was fun to do#i don't know as much about cats as i do dogs (even though i love both)#so i hope this was good#idk i think i've done pretty well#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#armand#daniel molloy#claudia#marius de romanus#gabrielle de lioncourt#quinn blackwood#pandora#khayman#my vampire chronicles

idk it sounds reasonable to me for a teenager to run away bc they didn't want to eat their veggies!
one hopes that by the later stages of childhood a parent will have figured out which veggies and preparation styles work for the kid, and the kid will have resigned themself to what they do and don't have to eat according to their parents, and it's all settled into an equilibrium instead of a daily fight. and hopefully as a teen your palette is expanding and you're even willing to eat more veggies then you did as a child.
however, if the kid is extra picky and stubborn, and the parent is extra determined to make sure they eat a good variety (or just eat whatever the parent prepared no matter what it is), it could absolutely continue to be a regularly-repeated fight. and if something is a continued point of contention throughout childhood then it absolutely makes sense for a teen to go FUCK this, i am nearly an ADULT i am done being told to eat my veggies i am gonna prove my independence and make them realize i don't have to just sit there and let them boss me around!!
like, the childishness of the fight is exactly why a teen would run away about it.
#i'm so picky and only got pickier throughout my teen years#i usually just made myself a separate quick meal when i didn't like dinner#if my parents hadn't let me and had tried to insist i eat the same thing as everyone else?#well. idk what i woulda done bc that would require they have an entirely different parenting style overall.#so who knows what kind of person i would be lol#but leaving the house for a couple hours seems pretty reasonable to me#but it's also normal for a parent to have an 'everyone sits at the table and eats what i've prepared' rule#for a variety of reasons ranging from well-meaning to self-centered#and i'm sure there are parents who will even try to foist the same old veggie rules upon adult children visiting for the holiday#i think 'what's the latest age at which a veggie fight might occur' says more about the parents than the kid#since they're the one turning it into a fight instead of letting it go#so ig if you want them to be closer to model parents then sif would have to be pretty young#but i think 'the type of parent to never stop arguing about veggies' is an interesting flaw to add#to make a parent who is loving and wonderful overall but has their own blind spots and mixed up priorities#isat spoilers#isat#siffrin#I UNDERSTAND WHY people think sif must be young and i'm fine w that#this is just my perspective :)#thoughts about siffrin#thoughts

Sparkstember Day 25: Hippopotamus (What The Hell Is It This Time?)
My Hippopotamus rant is here. I love Hippo and I think this was one of the best examples of how putting something off for later can be a very good idea sometimes. So I didn't hear most of it until this summer, and hearing the whole album then was one of the biggest highlights of that time. Thank you modern era Sparks for always bringing us the awesomest music ever.
#hippopotamus my beloveddddddd. also i like this drawing a lot!!! :)#i actually managed to make the letters and fire look pretty close to what they're like in the music video so that's pretty epic#anyways my favs are still roughly the same. but lately i've been also really enjoying probably nothing. beautiful somg#and now it's tagent(s) time because i thought it would be fun to buy a hippo plushie for this day and pose it for a photo#but well i don't even have this album physically so idk what other cool way i could have done this in#and yeah i mostly wanted to get something hippo-themed anyway#because a while ago i had to pass up on very awesome socks with hippos on them because they didn't have the right size#and i'm still thinking about them sometimes (i'm the biggest fan of fun socks)#ALSO... my original original plan for hippo (and ecotd tbh)#was to wait with them until something epic and sparks-related was happening. like travelling to see them on tour#well that didn't happen as we all know so. moved on from that idea eventually#but the future is bright anyway because i love modern era sparks sm and i can actually look forward to new albums coming out soon-ish#from both of my biggest favs AND another band that i've been getting into lately so uhhhh if not 2024#then can please at least 2025 be the year of awesomeness and amazingness that i've been waiting for?!?!?#ok this isn't even about hippo anymore so i'll just finish now#sparkstember 2024#my art#goose monologues

I love that there's a sort of horseshoe theory in fandom where if you love OR hate a character enough, they WILL be dying about it.
#reposting this from a discord discussion we had lmao.#a well-done bashing fic can be indistinguishable from someone else's whump of their beloved little guy.#and I think that's beautiful.#I've never hated any character enough to put in the effort of bashing though tbh. I'm fine with pretty much everyone???#if I hate a character I just ignore them idk. I'm just here for a chill time

Kusakabe, dear, you're too beautiful to be saying that kind of stuff
#jjk spoilers#All the prettiest characters were brought back from apparent death#Nobara was okay and it's true that when I read the lawyer's and Kusakabe's fights against Sukuna I thought it was being kept vague#but to pull a Nobara with all of them... idk#No one stays dead here except for the people who actually care for the kids and by that I mean 'including Yuuji'#kinda lowkey bitter about it#Don't get me wrong I like the characters and also they're super pretty but idk It makes death feel cheap? And the high stakes kinda fake?#Choso Gojo and Nanami actual only characters who died apparently#Well. Poor Itadori#And Kusukabe goes and runs his mouth that way in front of the kid. He is not entirely wrong but also he very much is#And yes he also says 'don't worry it's not for you to feel guilty over anything you're just kids' but also he did very much say that thing#about it all being Gojo's fault for not killing Itadori. In front of Itadori who feels guilty for that precisely#and in front of Megumi who asked Gojo to spare him and also went through the experience of Sukuna using his body as well#So Kusukabe's reassurance about them just being kids and not to feel guilty falls a bit empty#It does feel in character but man it truly makes one appreciate the way Gojo and Nanami dealt with the kids a lot more haha#Ui Ui seems like a dear#Anyway... this chapter felt a bit lame for the most part for me? I like the idea of the characters discussing the could have/would have#and feeling guilt and helplessness over their choices but the way it was done felt a bit lame and without any real emotional punch#It felt more like an explanation to the reader in an awkward way. And there's a lot of empty chat about guilt and grief#without any of the characters really giving off a grieving air about everything and everyone they've lost#And this is precisely what I felt was going to happen with this manga's writing haha#I truly don't understand this kind of writing choices. Contrary to some other shonen writers this author did seem to have the potential#to write this kind of thing well besides the worldbuilding and powers and fight stuff. It's truly a pity. It so breaks my heart#And still this is considered one of the good shonens. Well. WELL haha#I do think shonen can be good! I just think it falls almost always even when there's potential into bery shallow writing#I don't know. Maybe I should read that one Alchemist manga#I've been repeatedly told that one's good and it does seem like it doesn't do... this. But I find the art style so not to my linking#I wish I had never gotten into JJK for real for real. I absolutely adore it. I always end up frustrated. It could be so good. Genuinely good#And yet it's just okay in a sort of forgettable way. What a pity#Everything good ever is present but it never dares do anything to fully explore what it sets. It just does the typical shonen stuff

OKAY..... finally made enough progress on R♡R for another round of playtests....! we're reaching the end (of writing. which would mean time to start on editing. and then a mountain of art)
still v much chewing on, like, "win state"... i have a fluffy/nebulous option that's like, narratively+emotionally v satisfying but in practice potentially impossible/frustrating, or a point-based option thats much more functional/more of a sure thing but might be kind of a betrayal of some of the stuff im trying to evoke...
okay maybe "betrayal" is a strong word. not gelling, more like. trying to hit that sweet spot in the middle where something is emotional and evocative and freeform (enough) but also like, actually mechanically replicable lmao
#anyway very excited. i would really like this thing to be done#i've said this a lot (at least on twitter idk abt here) but like.#the fact that this thing is fighting me so hard is honestly exciting for me? my other games have been like... not that i haven't had to-#-work hard on them but like. they came together Quickly in terms of the actual writing/ideas/etc. vs this one i've gotten stuck multiple Xs#WHICH excites me bc i feel like im growing as a dev -- i think it's a game that will seem pretty simple in the grand scheme of things but--#--it's a big deal for me. and i feel like the fact that i've had to wrestle w it this much makes me feel like it's really good#but then there's also the fear of like. what if it simply is not lol and then all this work was -- well#not for NOTHING bc i'm enjoying it and *i* will like the game at the end of the day no matter what. but ykwim

randomly looked at this account to update my age and holy shit it's been a while since i posted here..........i have a small pile of art i have yet to post but hbhbshdbshbd too lazy
#part of it is that i haven't posted any of my recent art but in addition#i haven't made new art in a WHILE (abt 3 months) which is highly unusual for me but the reason for that is#3 months ago i suddenly remembered that i tried learning mandarin for three (3) days before forgetting about it for 9 months#(amusingly the reason why is not because of danmei......i did not even know danmei existed when i first decided to learn it)#anyways i have been insanely fixated on learning it for the past 3 months#however since art is primarily a way for me to process my interests and that only really be done when i'm fixated on media........well#let's just say i have not been making art at all#that might change soon tho#rn i'm reading 撒野 (saye) in chinese bc it's at a level i can read and i fucking love it so far#idk why i picked a book longer than svsss (which took me a week to read in english)...u would think there's no chance of me finishing it#or even reading it#especially when the only novel i've read before this is a chinese translation of the fucking magic finger by roald dahl LMFAO#but it's been a week and i'm a fifth of the way into it which i was not expecting at all#it was initially an exercise of “i will get as far as i can and try my best to read a chapter a day” but i've been zipping through chapters#last night i was up until 3 AM reading it and i was so tempted to read more but had to stop myself#of course this is all aided by pleco which lets me quickly look up words that i don't know yet. pleco ily#that being said...this all does mean i know words like 收銀台 before i even know the word for “orange” (the color) which is pretty funny#but idk considering that the sum of my time spent learning chinese is just 3 months..........i think i am doing pretty damn good#i thought it would be a LOT longer before i could finally start enjoying some interesting things#god but it really has been a while since i last read a high school romance...but i am quite fond of the leads and their respective baggage#sorry for the whole tag ramble.........i haven't really had anyone to talk abt this stuff with#oh also it's my birthday#that is why i am even here to update my age in the first place#happy lan wangji birthday#actually the only reason i realized it was gonna be my birthday soon is because i saw chinese artists posting lan wangji birthday fanart#and then remembered that we share the same birthday#also re: the art i haven't posted yet.........a good chunk of it is misvil fanart...song qingshi my beloved#and there's also a luo binghe drawn on an art app i PROGRAMMED MYSELF (!!!!!!!!!) in there#actually that piece is the main reason i haven't posted the art i HAVE made. how the fuck do i explain that i drew it on an app that i made#sorry this is genuinely the most off the rails tag ramble i've ever done. okay i'm done

You can barely tell because I'm still, you know, posting, but the amount of time I spend here has decreased massively. Most of it was just scrolling out of restlessness and not actually wanting to post something lmao.
#Tomorrow my break ends so I want to quit it entirely save for designated log-in times so I don't lose touch with the mutuals <3#I'm thinking every three days or so. We'll see.#Ok I'm going to cram as many little updates as I can in the tags so I don't get tempted to log in again after this.#I learned to prepare a new lunch (toast with cream cheese and guacamole) and it's good even with the pepper mill missing#(so only seasoned with salt and lemon). It must be even better with pepper.#I copied it from something I ordered at a cafe a few days ago--kind of proud of it.#I'm also kind of proud of the fact that even though I've never prepared vegetables before (bell pepper and onion)#I could do it just from remembering the years of watching my mum cook. Without even the intent of learning.#I just absorbed by osmosis which parts she cut off and could replicate it pretty well.#Overall even though the current situation re:life would look pretty grim from the outside for a couple of reasons#I feels miles better just from the fact that I'm not playing cards and opening Tumblr and Discord like the fridge all the time.#I'm on track to finish Midnight's Children soon and loving it. Idk what I'll read next but I'm excited for whatever it is.#And I'm almost done learning my lines. In the nick of time before our first rehearsal.#I'm also rekindling my love for classical music. And my love affair with ancient Rome is alive and well.#I also started playing chess again. I want to write... And I might pick up violin again this time just for me.#Still drawing a blank as to what I want to *do* for the next years but maybe I'll get there. I'm thinking of getting a job.#l33chsp34k

Sometimes it really is you and the unshakeable belief that Danika's speck of soul lives inside Bryce and is not gone from existence, against the world.
#It be me#the three other people who love Danika and this#and listen to me I think it makes sense#I've been thinking it since I've heard HOEAB for the first time#and from what I remember of HOSAB it still holds ground#like if the Bone Quarter is a place to harvest souls or well fatten them up real nice so the Asteri#can eat them later#then what the general population and the world of CC believe to be the “final resting place of souls” is really not it#which means they don't actually know what happens to souls after they die#what would happen to a soul if they didn't go to the bone quarter and its equivalents in all of Pangera?#well they don't know and we as readers don't know#What happened during Bryce's drop was pretty unique Never seen before#what happens to souls if they don't go to the harvesting place?#they don't know#Who's to say then that souls don't go to an actual resting place then?#who's to say when all is set and done and Bryce releases the souls of the bone quarter into a new place she won't see The Pack of Devils#again and in that moment it's revealed that when Bryce dies#many many centuries from now two souls will be entering#Danika's and her's#idk besties follow me for more coping mechanisms because Danika's death and her sacrifice will never not hit me#even if she had been keeping secrets mainly because Bryce was in no state of mind to be actually involved in this#perhaps because Danika knew that if this was a risk to her with all her power#involving Bryce at this stage would be a death sentence given that she was Starborn#DANIKA THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU#Danika Fendyr#Bryce Quinlan#Crescent City#HOEAB#HOSAB#HOFAS

the alternate version of michael/stevie collaboration and friendship that lives in my head is so beautiful and pure
#no i am not thinking about it like That#well... i mean i've entertained the idea. fujoshi that i am. but it's insane and feels vaguely disrespectful to everyone involved#that's definitely an alternate universe.... which is a beautiful universe 2 BE CLEAR#ok whatever. i just wish they were closer. in our universe. i wish they collaborated more i wish stevie took michael under his wing FR#like in a Big Way#we could've had stevie-produced and partially stevie-penned michael album(s).....#WHEN HE WAS A KID OMGGGG#little baby michael produced by stevie.... well idk how much production stevie had done by then#also Famously he was pretty busy#oh but imagine...#when the jacksons left motown what if michael had split too... he was what 17#damn... he should've just gone solo. he could write. he was extremely signable and producable. built-in fanbase#....i have so many thoughts#the POSSIBILITIES

#tag talk#I've been getting back into working out and it's pretty great#home workout not gym workout cause no fucking way I do not belong at the gym#bicep curls are my favorite and squats are my least favorite but I want big thighs so I must continue#I don't split my exercising into different groups on different days. I just have a general set of exercises that I do#I prefer to work my whole body instead of having leg day arm day back day and what have you#it's way more satisfying to lie exhausted and unmoving on the floor as your whole body aches versus only isolated ache and exhaustion#I want to start running again as well but I haven't found a good way to incorporate that into my routine yet.#I'm gonna go on a sunrise hike later this week with a friend. I'm pretty hyped for it I've been wanting to for a while.#brain is overloaded trying to calculate scenarios with the new poly relationship I'm sort of in now#I say sort of because it's so new it's not really established yet. but we have a discord group chat and movie plans for tomorrow#I think our identity is shifting back to R now. I put on a skirt to wear around the house and it feels right and not weird anymore#so I think nature is healing and we're back to normal identity balance which I'm conflicted about#cause on one hand I'm way more cheerful but he's way more solid and reliable and grounded but I'm more social and lively#idk. like most things in life it's not about picking one or the other but rather balancing two opposing sides of a spectrum#my answer is not to pick one identity or the other but rather to learn how to integrate them both into a functional working system#but that's easier said than done.#idk. being two people who slide in and out of phase is kind of annoying actually. I lack consistency#consistency in relationships. consistency in appetite. consistency in physical activity. consistency in entertainment preferences#it makes it so hard to find a routine and stick with it because I oscillate between two people with separate preferences for routine#I worry I'll lose his routine now that I'm slipping back into R not L. I've started exercising again. my bottom dysphoria is manageable.#and I'm worried I'll lose that if I finish turning into R again. worried I'll lose this routine I've finally established.#I'm worried I'll lose who I am again and again and again and never be able to rely on my internal infrastructure#this sucks#I didn't ask for this
