#im sorry theres not much here

[iciatheguardess]

AH, YES, I WAS WAITING FOR AN EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT THESE GUYS!

Let’s start with the names, because that alone was an escapade.

I started with Arthur’s name and planned to name all four of them after various members of the original Arthurian lore. Verie was next, and that’s about the point where I realized that original Arthurian lore, when it wasn’t being epic, was really freaking weird and kinda incest-y and kinda “why the heck are we romanticizing cheating on your husband”

So I shifted it a bit. Mercutio was originally going to be named Mordred (the main villain) and Juliet was probably going to be named after Gawain somehow (cool knight guy). I didn’t add Lancelot because…um…well, Verie is cooler (and more faithful lol) than Queen Guinevere and I didn’t want to have someone research the name and think that whoever “Lancelot” was was gonna end up with Verie instead.

Mercutio’s name comes from Romeo and Juliet, and is the name of the Bard character who does the “Queen Mab” speech. He dies but is my favorite character and the one I played when my class read R&J a year ago, Queen Mab speech and all. He’s Romeo’s best friend and kind of his wingman, a very similar dynamic to our Merc’s dynamic with Arthur. They’re those “we’re not actually brothers but we’re childhood best friends and might as well be adopted family by now”. Yes, Mercutio helped Arthur get his first date with Verie.

Juliet is named after…well, Juliet. Her name was a very last minute choice and has the least meaning out of all of them. Arthur’s name tells of his station and valor, Verie’s of her affection and good leadership, and Mercutio’s of his creativity, but Juliet’s just tells of the fact that she loved. Fitting for someone who tells very little about herself. She’s not actually usually all business, and is normally very shy and bad at socializing, the Court were her only friends pre-circus. She tends to get flustered easily, especially when being given physical affection from someone she likes. Fun fact, she’s Verie’s younger sister. They look nothing alike, but that’s because Verie has albinism and Juliet doesn’t, both pre and post circus.

I am. So sorry I'm posting this so late

But

My GODDDDD all of that makes so much sense.

I like the way you incorporated both Arthurian and R&J names, I think it works very well-

I'm honestly super excited to see more Juliet too, she seems like such a unique and cool character

I really wish I had more to say- honestly, all I can say is. I fucking LOVE THEMMMMMMM

actively fighting a full blown panic attack born out of sadness and anger after having to drive by yet another victim on the side of the road

it makes me livid how accepted it is to just let cats suffer and die disgustingly horrid deaths and live awful short lives just so what, for what?? so you dont have to play with them for an hour a day??? when i was little it was just kinda normal that they disappeared at some point, i didnt understand what it actually meant until our outdoor cat i loved dearly was found in the bushes near our house in a condition so horrible my dad has never told me and i have never dared to ask, she only made it to 6 and had horrible scars and infections before that i allowed my family to convince me to let my first own cat outside, we only had her for a year, she died at only 2 years old, i am still suffering from the guilt, it has never let me go, she went missing for a week and i walked the entire vilage up and down every day, yelling her name, wandering into the forest alone, talking to every stranger i met until one morning my mom told me that our neighbour who works for the city asked if we had a white cat with a very specific collar she had- he found her on a busy road crossing in the next bigger city, i never even got to bury her, its haunting me, the thought of her wandering lost and scared in the city for a week until meeting an awful end gives me headaches, the fact that i was the last one to see her alive, that i put her outside bc we were late for school and had to leave quickly, that she had come home with oil in her fur from crawling through maschines and cars before, that i was worried but still didnt act, that it is my fault, any time i am up to late its coming back, it will never let me go, if i had stood my ground and not allow her outside unless on a leash or similar shed still be alive today, any time i read a description at our local shelter it comes back, they still advocate for outside cats, all of them, even if they have only been an indoor one before, its madness my older sister had a cat, i dont even know how old he got but it wasnt long either, he got hit by a car in front of their house, she has two now again and the only reason she hasnt let them outside is because they havent shown much interest in it, i tried to warn her before and she didnt listen and shes still resistent, even after losing one too

i have seen so many on the side of the road, anywhere i drive i see them, i cannot forget a single one, we are surrounded by farm land and all its giant maschinery, its still common to poison rodents, why do people value them so little, you wouldnt let your dog just live outside in the woods and streets for half the day or more, you wouldnt just throw your guniea pigs on the road and tell them have fun, you wouldnt just let your bird roam outside, there probably assholes that do that too but you cannot tell me its as common as outside cats

i dont understand it, i dont, i wont, i never will, i will never forgive myself this poor little animal that was my responsibility having to pay the price of my ignorance, or my own weakness letting my family convince me despite the awful way we lost one before, it makes me want to explode it hurts my brain in grief and anger i can barely contain

cats deserve to live a safe and long life, i get only having them inside may feel like you are locking them up, but do you think that not doing so is worth having them die a painful death? being poisonend? on purpose even by disgusting people that hate them? abused and chased by other animals and dogs? hurt and lost? cutting their lifespan in half? if they even make it that far? the amount of wildlife that they kill unnecessarily so when all of that is already in a steep decline everywhere? and if they eat what they hunt get infected with diseases or again, poison? die somewhere in agony? if cared for they dont care about going outside, plenty can be leash trained or given a secure way to roam like those cat proof aviary like things, if you dont want to put effort into caring for a cat DONT GET ONE, ALL pets require adequate care, and if you think cats are the easiest bc you only have to feed them every now and then IF they come home? you suck, you are an asshole, i hate you and you do not care about them, if you just want to occasionalyl feed and pet an animal go to the petting zoo

(this is about pet cats of people who can absolutely afford to keep them healthily inside, i know feral cats and those in poor neighbourhoods are a thing, even if not here where i live, and thats a whole other but still similar problem and not the point of this post)
