#kitty bandit speaks

[hizznbyte]

meeee. i wanna hear about your AU :)

Of course you do heheveh hi!! [You can’t hide on anon I know who you are LOL!!] Uh I’m gonna do a buncha ramblin so bear with me here

My first, more prominent and fleshed out AU would probably be the Luvcat Kingdom AU. Essentially, the AU centers around the eleven main kitties in a kingdom colloquially known as the “Silver State”. All the characters are anthropomorphic so they walk and talk and have jobs n whatnot [I mean, how else do you think they have a monarchy?]. Shenanigans happen. We get to see the lives of the Luvcat Household, each having their own story and secrets to hide. It’s slow and episodic but there’s an overarching narrative behind it.

TT is the sovereign of the Silver State [obviously LOL we believe in Queen TT supremacy here]. Though she does relish in her power, she sometimes gets overwhelmed with taking on the responsibilities of a queen, having to take care of a whole society of cats. She’s relatively short-tempered but doesn’t mean anyone harm [I personally project my autism on to her and think that being queen can sometimes be too overstimulating which is why she’s so quick to lash out when she doesn’t know what to do]. Anyways, TT started keeping to herself more as time went on and no longer made public appearances unless absolutely necessary. She only regularly makes contact with those she works with.

Speaking of which, TT’s royal advisory would be Mr Chairman MoMo! He manages some of the smaller duties TT has, taking care of finance, giving her advice and whatnot. He’s also a bit of a cocky bitch and despite his job, does start beef with TT. He means well of course and is just trying to do his duty, but he’s too much of an old smart ass and it gets on the queen’s nerves. A lot. Anyways, MoMo is really painfully gay.

DD is the head knight of the kingdom. He’s just a big, oblivious boy who is very loyal and does his part. He gets bullied a lot by TT, usually becoming her punching bag -figuratively AND literally [probably because DD has a very loose concept of boundaries and social cues]. TT does feel bad about her treatment of such a loyal subject, but feels like admitting that or apologizing is a sign of weakness so she doesn’t ever tell him that. He is very dedicated to protecting his queen and will do anything for her -even though his a bit of a wimp sometimes. He may or may not be hopelessly infatuated with TT, but his feelings are not reciprocated. Poor Sir DunDun :((

Along with DD, LuLu is also a knight! DD and LuLu are best buddies in this AU, and TT sometimes feels anxious when they’re together because they really are a pair of dumbasses LOL. Anywho, LuLu is mainly in charge of keeping guard of the castle at night while DD is out patrolling. Though he’s a knight by day, when the sun sets… he becomes the notorious Brown-Tailed Bandit! With easy access into the castle, LuLu sneaks around nabbing treats and snacks [especially the super expensive ones]. At first he did it for his own enjoyment -he’s a terrible kleptomaniac and a huge glutton- but then word spread and he started becoming a snack smuggler for a cat named Sylvester [iykyk] who illegally exports the treats out of the kingdom for high prices. LuLu DOES regret his choice, but feels like he’s too far in deep to get out of it. Surprisingly, LuLu and his stubby legs have never been caught or even suspected. Maybe it’s a perk of being the Queen’s favorite[?] knight. Speaking of knights…

General is finally a part of the AU!! I haven’t watched Claire Luvcat in a while so I don’t know much about General’s overall personality, but from what I’ve seen and can guess… in this AU, General is the knight commander. To the younger cats he’s this fierce, stern old guy who doesn’t mess around, but really he just wants to the keep the kingdom safe and cares about subordinates a ton. He sometimes gives advice to the queen and the other knights because of his experience [and is also very put off by MoMo who acts like he’s so old and wise when he’s actually younger than TT and DD]. General probably won’t be a huge part of the AU but I wanted to show em some love.

Then we have mister scientist CoCo!! Actually, CoCo used to be a prince from a foreign kingdom, but ran away so he could pursue a job in his passion for science. No one except General [and maybe TT?] knows this fact because he’s hesitant to share it. He gets all anxious about the idea of becoming ruler of anything, and really just wants to be left alone most of the time while he researches. Unfortunately, CoCo’s research is funded by MoMo and the two have a complicated relationship -but are mostly on good terms though MoMo can be super bothersome. In order to help the kingdom and cats who accepted him into their homes, he learned some medicine and became a doctor!

On that note, let’s move on to LaLa. Similar to CoCo, LaLa is a princess from a distant kingdom. She came to visit the Silver State for something like.. a vacation? Business trip? I guess. Anyways, she was only supposed to stay with TT at the Silver State for a couple weeks but then the boat that was meant to carry her home -along with representatives from her kingdom- capsized so. She’s here temporarily until she can figure out how to get back lol. LaLa gives CoCo flashbacks sometimes. But basically LaLa is your average pretty princess girl. TT is somewhat fond of her for whatever reason. LuLu and LaLa get along really well, and LuLu assured her he’d find a way to get her home safely.

ChuChu is a baker at the kingdom :)) yeah there’s nothing that interesting about here… or is there? [Shhh]. ChuChu wishes to be a princess. Little does she know…

Finally, the cheese family!! [NaNa, ToTo and DoDo]. The three fled their home land to the Silver State due to some sort of civil war, which turned the country to ruin. Seeking safety, they were allowed to live in the Silver State in exchange for work. Despite their difference in class, NaNa and TT are rather fond of each other. ToTo prefers to keep to himself, but along with his brother DoDo, they are besties with LuLu. DoDo and LuLu especially are a rowdy, trouble making pair. Both brothers want to be a knight when they get old enough, though for now DoDo is left following LuLu’s every word [he’s a very loyal right-paw cat!]. LuLu has considered getting the brothers to help him with their heists but is worried about getting them into a dangerous situation, so he tries to keep them far away from that line of work. ToTo is also very close with DD.

Holy shit this post is long asf!! Sorry you probably won’t read allat but if you did well.. I salute you 🫡

..and did I mention there’s more cats in this story? Can’t say who or what rn because well.. this post is long enough but there’s going to be many characters and cats from around the internets. If you have any suggestions for who I should add [looking at you Centimeter!! I hear you!!] I’ll look into it and figure out a way to incorporate them into my story. Lol.

There’s still a ton more I could talk about, so maybe I’ll reblog this post as a continuation? Anyways, man this post was a pain in the ass to write since my phone keeps crashing but!! I finally got to it. Man that felt good. These things are subject to change but I already worked enough on this lore for a dumb AU I’m probably not going to elaborate on so esmekensksjej yeah ❤️

[kawaii-butt-crust-core]

Random HB headcanons / thoughts I guess

(tw for some sexual mentions and cursing )

Mammon fucking HATES jingle bell rock

Asmodeus sending fizz "send this to someone you love!" Type of videos and fizz sends shit like this

Just the thought that asmodeus ( the embodiment of lust ) believes love is not love without consent is honestly a great detail

Also thinking about how fizzarolli has eyebags

Millie can use a bow and arrowwwww

I think the human versions of blitzø and his family are indigenous, idk the nose and the skin tone, it might be a long shot but I like the idea yk

Also love seeing indigenous characters

Stolas loving outer space that's canon right

Imagine him as a kid just reading a shit ton of books about space and in any occurrence it's brought up now you know how the universe is going to end

Blitzø: I just need space-

Stolas: SPACE???????

I think after Octavia gets out of her super angsty teenager phase ( do not come after me I know it's more than an angsty "mom leave me alone I wanna be famous" thing, I'm kidding ) she would really like indie music

Like indie rock if that makes any sense

" with ♥️ from Ozzie " ON EVERYTHING OZ GIVES FIZZ URGAJF

I'm sorry but there neeeeeddsss to be more Millie appreciation

I kinda wish there was an episode that centers around her yk ?

Do you think imps nipples are white too like scars and freckles or am I weird

Ozzie posting on everything " YES THE RUMORS ARE TRUE THIS IS MY FUCKING SOULMATE" because for some reason there was a lot of controversy and debate if it was real or not

Then next to it it's a picture of him and fizz

People were PISSED

I thought mamom was played by bluey's dad bandit if I'm being completely honest I'm so sorry

Millie is spider man moxxie is hello kitty

Stella likes soup. What is she eating now? Oh some fucking soup. What's wrong with her icecub- SHE FROZE THE SOUP TO MAKE ICE CUBES-

Loona has a very bad picking at her skin habit, not really with her face but with her legs and arms ( human form obviously )

I LOVE HOW MUCH BLITZØ LOVES LOONA IM SORRYYYY

Fizz posting " FUCK ALL OF YOU" on all of his socials , deleting everything ( especially the sexually explicit things )

I think being a part of the circus is equivalent to trailer trash in hell

I mean look at em

I love it

Human form Ozzie would have THE MOST luscious hair ever

This image just says so much about them as a pair it kills me

The way the animators just go above and beyond is just amazing to me

How did fizzarolli get the 2 minutes notice thing planned so quickly...........

" IM A KLOWN BITCH🤪 IM A KLOWN BITCH🤪🤞🏼"

Fizz over sharing as a teenager ( not projecting )

THAT ONE SCENW QITH STOLAS MOVING STELLAS HAND LITERALLY MADE MY FUCKING JAW DROP HOLY SHIT

HES LITERALLY TAKING BACK HIS LIFE

fizz really thought in "oops!" That he wasn't gonna make it out of the fire again

Like bro just put his knees to his chest and CRIED

IDK RHATS SK SAD TO MEEEE

Speaking of fizz how did that mark in the next episode get there? What was that? Idk if it was maybe a bruise from.. something.. I don't wanna say it was from mamon because that would defeat the purpose of his character being EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE and that emotional abuse is still abuse, but idk some people said it might be because of him?

Can you tell I'm obsessed with fizzarolli

The sexual harassment rep.... People who have experienced sh usually think "it's not as bad as *other s3xual trauma* so I'm just being dramatic" ( I say this from experience ) but it ABSOLUTELY IS AND SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED. It's still something you're not comfortable with. Fizz brushing it off as "oh well they're just fans who express their love differently!" Should not have been taught to him.

I'm not slightly projecting again. Nuh uh

Ozzie can play saxophone. He just gives me the vibe.

MILLIE CANNOTTTT KEEP A PLANT ALIVE FOR SHIT BRO

MOXXIE?? UH MAYBE A MONTH. 2 MAX. MILLIE? ITS DEAD WITHIN A DAY.

Loona: I AM NOT PUTTING THAT ON

blitzø: JUST ONE FUCKING FAMILY PICTURE LOONA-

Beezlebubs design just screams if kesha. Even if they didn't mean to.

Millie getting stuck in trees as a kid and being too scared to get down

Was Barbies real name barbie or is that a nickname? Or was it for the sake of the circus ( like blitzøs name being .. well blitzø )

Millie name is short for Amelia maybe? People used to call her Lia but she hated it so much she started writing her nickname Millie on everything.

People saying they hated / thought the stolas human design could've been better can go FUCK themselves HONESTLY

Blitzø and fizzs as teenagers going to their town center and being like "?????? Why is everything so FANCY it's AMAZING"

Octavia can't handle spicy things for SHIT

Look at their British asses

They cough at smelling PEPPER

Stolas just randomly texting Octavia "you're so beautiful darling! Have a nice day <3 -your dad" or "don't forget to eat! -your dad" ( he texts like that IDC )

FUCK STELLA ME AND MY HOES HATE THAT BITCH

Octavia writes poetry! It's actually really good

Okay so I have this headcanon that in the HELLUVA BOSS universe that songs like contoursionist, toxic ( by ashnikko ), tunnel vision and agorah hills, NYMPHOLOGY, and he has this "one last show" thing where he preforms these songs and HE IS SCREAMING SOME OF HIS OWN SONGS

But that would also defeat his character development so I'll just imagine him singing this songs in the car or smth

Mamon having to do some toxic gossip train shit

I WANMA SAY OZZIE HAS TWO OLDER SISTERS BUT IDK IF THAT WOULD WORKKKKK

Millie kills the spider.

I think that may be all okay byeeee

[alaskan-wallflower]

I know Kyle's your favorite but do you have any Butters headcanons you want to share?

ooooooo do i!

He loves baby animals, he has a baby animals calendar that’s like 6 years old but he doesn’t care that it’s outdated, he really only uses it to keep track of his friends’ birthdays and to look at the cute little baby animals

He’s in choir 100%.

He’s unironically a Bluey fan. Wishes he had parents like Chili and Bandit, though his parents are always telling him he needs to grow up, but he doesn’t wanna

Panromantic asexual, but he doesn’t think about dating much. He’s much better at friendships than relationships.

Physical touch is his love language

He chooses not to lose his lil’ southern drawl because it makes him who he is, and he doesn’t wanna lose any part of who he is

He sometimes dyes his hair with streaks of color, but he doesn’t do it much because his parents would ground him

Him and Heidi are very tight, they’re very good friends, he’s basically her little brother

He’s very good at comforting people, he’s always got his arms ready to hug someone and he’s got a little comfort plus for whoever needs it

He owns a sort of cat cafe in the future. Here’s good at business and he seemed to be doing great in the food industry, he loves baking and animals, so an animal cafe is perfect for him in his eyes

He isn’t a good swimmer, he likes wade pools

He loves spring because of the pretty flowers and baby animals, but poor boy has such bad allergies, he gets so sniffly and sneezes a lot

Speaking of, he sneezes like a kitten (think Dipper from Gravity Falls)

He likes listening to heartbeat same while he sleeps, or if he’s cuddling, his favorite place to be is over the heart because “it’s where all the love comes from”

‘He’s actually not a terrible student. Straight B’s, some A’s.

He likes watching cartoons more than live actions

He gets deeply invested into certain fandoms, def made a Hello Kitty OC, it helps him escape reality for a bit while he’s grounded

Hes an amazing artist, he’s really encouraging as well to other new artists

Nearly cries almost any time someone gives him a compliment. He gets nearly no compliments at home, so hearing something positive from someone else’s mouth makes him feel like he’s gonna die of happiness

Hes a happy crier, he’s really emotional but doesn’t care. Like he said, “he’d rather be a crying pussy than a faggy goth kid anyway”

He ends up growing to around 5’10’’ and towers over Cartman, it’s kinda cute how he towers over people like that

Hes kinda malnourished because his parents don’t feed him often

His favorite food is Spaghetti-O’s

He would definitely be a hardcore pokémon fan, what’s not to live about cute monsters (most of them anyway) and going off on your very own pokémon journey?

He loves reading. He’s a big Harry Pottrr fan, he relates a lot to Harry (mainly because they both have horrible guardians)

he loves fantasy settings, they help him escape reality and they fuel his imagination

Hr adopts a dog a-named Waffles. It’s a Border Collie and he gave it a purple bandana with white spots. He loves her to death

hope these are good enough-

[hyperionshipping]

TRICKS can u tell me things abt ur f/os considering I rambled abt John yesterday..... TELL ME EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM TELL ME SILLY CUTE THINGS U DO W THEM!!!♡♡

WELLLL. See there's SO much to sayy for this. Hmm hmm!!! Lemme list some for each romantic f/o. I love lists <3

Handsome Jack

THIS MAN. THIS MAN. HIM.

What don't I fucking do with Jack. He's everything to me. Our anniversary was earlier this month. He's not even the f/o I've had the longest but he truly is special to me. More than any other f/o

We are the worst couple. We stay winning. We are NOT made for each other <3.

Jack can't sleep without me but would not ever admit that. I sleep with my face to his chest, and his leg between my thigh.

We are the worst with PDA. Anything you can think of? Jack's done to me in public. And he will do it again. And again, and again, and again and--

I fight for Jack <3 absolutely utterly dedicated to him. In an unhealthy way.

He's gotten me bandits to practice shooting on. Live targets are better to try out new guns on after all!!

Sometimes, late at night, I get to see glimpses of his face without the mask on. He's the most handsome thing to me.

Killian Jones

The like Biggest thing I do for him is very often smooth down his hair a lot. Both when he's frazzled and just because.

This isn't a thing *I* do as much, but god he's a big ol' flirt. We are SO disgusting with our PDA. We ARE kissing again, yes indeed

We hang out at the beach pretty often! Killian swears he isn't a pirate anymore but I know the way he looks at the sea. So, often, dates end up with us walking the beach

Caleb Widogast

GOD. Where do I start?

I braid his hair a lot, so often. Or put it in a ponytail, tuck it behind his ear. Anything. Caleb always melts when I do.

We fight TOGETHER!!!! I have a whole fic on this. We always have each other's backs in combat. Where he goes I follow. That's FINAL.

We kinda. We heal each other. In more ways than one. Caleb learns to let himself heal through me, and it's the same for me

Some of our best moments is when Caleb reads to me in Zemnian. Do I understand all of it? No. But he speaks so softly, so gently, it always makes me feel safe. And Frumpkin will join us, and it's so good!!!!!

I call him sunshine and hummingbird!

Hardwon Surefoot

My honeyboy <3

I tease HIM!!! He has his moments too. The way we actually meet is him going "watch this!" and failing so bad that I laugh and call him cute and join him and the other boobs!

We also fight together for sure but it's different than Caleb and I.

I braid his hair. ALL. THE. TIME. And wash it. Style it. Eveything. Hardwon barely does his own hair anymore. I always braid it with dwarven braids for his heritage, and crick knots for the family that accepted him for who he is.

I do the same for his beard. I help him keep it in tiptop shape

ALWAYS together in one big bed.

I follow him to the ends of the earth (literally, really).

Grog Strongjaw

Power couple. That's us!

Literally. We are two barbarians. I'm letting him take my kill because it's ROMANTIC. AND YOU GUYS DON'T GET IT!!!!

What's more romantic than the heart of our enemy? Nothing! That's the gift I'm giving him.

Also his biggest hype man following Scanlan and Pike.

I pick him flowers a lot too. He always worries about breaking them cause they're real delicate and he's not but I promise him it's ok

I let him do MY hair. That's a great privilege. He's the first of the party I let touch it

Lepos

Also a PDA heavy couple. Lee sometimes gets a little flustered from it all. But he also got me in bed because he was a flirt...

He's my kitty. My big, fat, demon <3

He really likes rodeos, and I always oblige him and go with him!! I am learning about them more slowly but surely.

I constantly lay on his chest to listen to him purr. It's the most comforted and safe I've ever felt

We dance a lot in our house, to no particular song. If I grab his hands and look up at him and smile, ask him to dance he'll always do it!

Crowley

Little shit. *Shoves him* *punches him*

Ugh. HIM.

Behind closed doors, he's a big lover. All he wants is that, you know? And, though it takes him a while to admit it? He hasn't felt Loved like this in a while. A long while. Forever, really.

We tick each other off. Threats that go nowhere.

He sends hellhounds to watch over me! Just gotta make sure I'm safe.

He's really very protective at the end of the day. God forbid he learn a demon tried to do me harm. They aren't going to see the light of tomorrow.

He always takes me on such lavish dates. Really, I don't know what to do with myself at the places he brings me x_x

Lucifer Morningstar

rAUGH.

I fell for him so hard and so fast. Fuck!!!!!

We party often~. At Lux, at his penthouse, just out, that one time at that one place... It really doesn't end.

I dote on him so much. He says I'm awfully lovey-dovey for a demon and I just kiss him again.

Something special Luci does for just me is, since L.A. makes it hard to see the stars, he drives me out and away just so I can look at the stars with awe. He thinks it's so beautiful to see me so enamoured with something so simple.

He sings to me too! Serenades me~. Alone in his penthouse, he'll play the piano, let me sit on the bench as he plays, or place his hands over mine to play the keys. He sings me Frank Sinatra specifically.

Jack Hodgins

Ohhh Hodgepodge. My lovebug!!

I help him with all of the experiments he does. Always hands-on with him!!

He loves flirting with me. Because he always, always figures out what to say to make me blush beet red.

He fell so damn hard for me though so like, checkmate baby!

He likes when I call him King Of The Lab <3. He is, by the way.

We always go on lunch dates to this one Sandwich shop in D.C. that's my secret little spot!!!

And, when we go out? I find every bug I can to ask him about it, and ask for facts and god I love hearing him talk. I could listen to him for hours

Lance Sweets

Sweets <3. I... Didn't expect to fall for him like I did.

I like making him blush! I do it a lot by accident. It's very easy heheh.

I love just hanging out with Sweets. He means a lot to me and he didn't GET that as much when he was a kid.

Karaoke is a thing that is like OUR thing. It was our first date too. We always sing rock songs together!!

VINYL SHOPPING TOO!!!!!!! He used to work at one, and I collect them. Sweets helps me find my favorite bands and cool, older vinyl.

John Constantine

Hold on a minute. *FUCKING SHAKESHIM SO HARD*

Okay. See. I didn't MEAN to fall in love with him!!!! Me and John's thing was. Mutually beneficial. FWB's. But I should've known he wouldn't last in one of those.

It so wasn't ME with feelings first. No. It was ol' Johnnyboy. Trust me.

We get into so many stupid situations together. Constantine and a demon together? Strap in!

Silly stuff we do together though... date nights are always fun. Wherever I wanna go.

He's stuck with me! I tell him that a lot. Even when he's being a little shit. He can't get rid of me if he tried. And oh how he tried.

Fun things to do with YOUR demon lover! Send them back to Hell!

I forgave him.

LOVE cuddling that man. And rubbing my face against his stubble or beard. Heheh ^w^.

[second-wife-playbook]

The idea of beating the ever-loving shit out of people wasn't entirely appealing. But Cori did her best to visualize it a different way. Kitty Stowes could do it. How else was she supposed to wrangle all those ex-bandits? She thought to herself, steeling her mind to the idea. I'll at least have to have a good right hook-

"O-okay. Okay!" She tried to speak more confidently. "I'll...I'll do all I can."

The lunch spread looked quite good. She still ate with her usual manners, and enjoyed the taste of what Striker made. "You're a very good cook." She complimented. The salad was clearly fresh from the garden, and the steak was well seasoned and juicy, a cheap cut made into better quality. "Do...do you suppose it would be too much to teach me how to cook too?"

Another failing. "It's...embarrassing to say but I can't really make anything. Except...except maybe cocktails-"

Gimme Shelter

((( Anyone can reblog and comment on this post, for anyone could be a patron at Sugar Buzzed club 😉 )))

((( Warning: The song Striker is singing in this post contains sensitive content. )))

Under the dim, smoky lights of the Sugar Buzzed club, Striker stood on the small, worn stage, gripping his electric guitar. Usually filled with vibrant neon hues, the club had dimmed its lights tonight to recreate a Wrathian country blues atmosphere. The crowd, a mix of regulars and curious newcomers, buzzed with anticipation. Striker's outfit was a blend of vintage charm and rugged style:

Brown trousers, black suspenders, an old mauve-colored shirt with its sleeves rolled up, and a black vest that completed the ensemble. He was enjoying a cigar while arranging his guitar and giving time to the other musicians to prepare themselves.

The two Hellhound vocalists (recommended by Queen Bee herself), were more than excited to perform with him, given the two girls were giggling and whispering to each other, probably commenting his physique.

He adjusted the microphone stand, its metal frame barely reflecting the subdued glow. The club’s atmosphere was thick with the scent of spilled drinks and the low hum of conversation.

He drew one last smoke from the cigar, before putting it out in a metal ashtray.

The cowboy nodded at the rest of the group, before starting to play.

Striker's fingers danced across the guitar strings, coaxing out a raw, soulful riff that immediately quieted the crowd.

"Ooooh, a storm is threat'ning

Myyy very life today

If I don't get some shelter,

Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away...

Waaar, children,

it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Waaar, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away."

His voice, deep and gritty, cut through the room as he began to sing a blues rock tune, each word dripping with emotion and authenticity.

"Ooooh, see the fire is sweepin'

Myyy very street today

Buuurns like a red coal carpet,

Mad bull lost its way...

Waaar, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Waaar, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away..."

The guitar came alive, electrifying the room. Striker's skills were evident in every note, his fingers moving with precision and passion.

"Look out!

Raaaape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Raaaape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Raaaape, murder!

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away..."

The crowd swayed and nodded, some with eyes closed, lost in the music. The rhythm section backed him with a steady, driving beat that resonated in the chest of every listener.

The vocalists were doing a splendid job, enhancing the feeling of the song with their honeyed voices.

"Ooooh the floods is threat'ning

Myyy very life today

Gimme, gimme shelter!

Or I'm gonna fade away..."

Striker’s performance was a blend of raw talent and heartfelt emotion, the kind that left an indelible mark on everyone present.

True, the song wasn't exactly a cheerful one, but he didn't care. They came to feel the true Wrathian spirit tonight, which was anything but sweet and joyful.

It was crude, merciless and painful, delivering the harsh truth of life.

"Waaar, children, it's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

I tell you love, sister,

it's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away, kiss away..."

His voice rose and fell, his eyes closed as he sang every lyric with ardor, his mind miles away.

As the final notes echoed through the club, the audience erupted into applause, the sound filling the small space with a wave of appreciation.

Striker grinned, nodded, and thanked the public, letting the band to take care of providing ambience music as he left the stage to get a drink.

He would've sang again a bit later, but for now he just wanted to enjoy a glass of bourbon.

Thank you all for following! (´∀｀)♡

I have a 1.5 hour meeting today, and normally I wouldn’t be too concerned, since almost all my meetings are via phone/computer screen sharing, but it’s a team meeting where we have to participate and do “fun” games--oh, and we have to put our webcams on so we can see each other.

Which means I can’t look at my phone and ignore everything like I normally do.

[lovetique]

"i agree." it's spoken softly and makes her chest fill even deeper with a void, it was surreal to hear someone talk about being faithful being the bare minimum like he put it. marcus spoke how it was the bare minimum and her doe eyed gaze simply couldn't help but ogle at him like he was the most rare thing she ever laid eyes on, it was so alien to her she had to question if she just made it up inside her head. the comment about prince was the thing that finally broke her out of that trance. "i like his hair, too." smile returning to her lips, a tiny happy laugh sounding from her at his comment as she placed the album over on her nightstand. "since it's getting late–– i'll save prince lessons for another day." if she's lucky to have another moment with him. "for now this night owl will go to sleep and pretend we're driving somewhere fun and listening to his music together." voice sounding happy at the idea, she hopes she really can have a dream like that.

small frame still sat up next to the dark haired boy however, giving him time to explain first and intent on listening. "i understand that." she immediately recognized what he was saying, elena almost interrupted his words as a sweetness wrapped around her heart that she could remind someone of that and how he could do the same. "you're in art, too. in all of my favorite songs..." ...in the songs she writes, the songs she sings. he's there. and both of them, collaborating in art– just two different types but still all the same whether it was musical or art by canvas. unearthing art, was a lot like how he was trying to unearth her honest feelings towards him. the fact put a guilty smile on her face as elena silently thought about it to herself how she definitely understood what he was saying now. "i really like bonding over someone with art." it was implied towards him as the smile on her face became sweeter.

"sorry, i'm just the sleep bandit." she quipped, then felt amused at how sleep was taking over him so suddenly while she was still wide awake as usual. and the sleepiness on his face is really cute. "hey, don't use hello kitty like that." elena feigned offense when she saw him use it under his head, reaching in the floor for one of the pink silky pillows that had fallen off her bed then leaning back up and giving marcus it by sitting it on top of his torso. she was pulled down to lay with him, but pushed herself back up so they could fully get ready for bed. she'd return to that position in a moment. elena grabbed for the blanket he was laying on top of rather than under, grunting at trying to pull it from OUT underneath him to no avail. "move off of it and get under the blanket, you big dinosaur." amusement filled her voice with her instructions as she gently pushed on his hip, her biceps burning from all the strength skinny arms were putting into it. the unexpected question that came up next had no reason to make her heart quicken until the last part. because she knew how many nights with rory did make her scared. elena rolls onto her side, sliding her legs under her blanket and curly haired girl rests her hands under her cheek in a praying position after stuffing a purple care bear between them while her forehead nuzzles against his shoulder. "i do now." she reassures, smiling softly. "thank you, marcus." speaking quietly but sincereley, that means a lot to her, knowing he's been looking after her without him even realizing it for awhile now. not just then. thinking to those nights she had ran away from rory to marcus because she was scared.

                  "faithfulness  should be  the  bare  minimum,  elena,"  he  contends,  gaze  concentrated,  searching  for  something  that  he  wasn't  even  sure  of  himself.  nothing  about  her  relationship  made  sense  to  him.  she  was  clearly  unsatisfied;  flinched  at  every  touch,  evasive,  always  tense,  and  of  course  marcus'  presence  in  her  life  was  indication  enough.  but  now  he  pretty  much  had  a  confirmation  that  she  was  getting  cheated  on.  it  surprised  him  that  she  was  with  someone  like  that,  but  he  tried  to  remind  himself  that  he  was  kept  in  the  dark  about  that  area  of  her  life.  yet,  the  one  thought  he  kept  coming  back  to  was  a  rather  innocuous  comment  elena  had  made  earlier  in  the  night;  the  admission  that  he  'wasn't  a  nice  person'.  immediately,  a  pessimist  by  nature,  marcus'  mind  went  to  the  absolute  worst.  it  made  him  physically  sick  to  think  about  the  possibilities.  above  anything  else,  he  needed  to  know  that  she  was  safe.  but,  even  with  everything  considered,  marcus  knew  better  than  to  ask  her  a  direct  question  about  this.  elena's  brain  would  likely  short-circuit  if  she  couldn't  answer  one  of  his  questions  with  a  riddle.

he  knew  who  prince  was,  of  course,  but  he  didn't  have  the  slightest  inkling  of  the  songs  she  was  pointing  out.  "i  like  his  hair,"  comments  casually,  wearing  a  smirk  as  he  eyed  the  album  cover.  tries  to  present  a  cursory  air,  but  he  was  mostly  just  anxious.  the  more  they  sunk  their  teeth  into  each  other  tonight,  the  harder  it  would  all  be  when  the  morning  came.  in  his  mind,  all  that  elena  would  have  to  say  was  that  her  mind  had  changed,  but  he  knew  not  to  hold  his  breath.  "a  lot  of  art  reminds  me  of  you,  but  not  for  the  reasons  you  might  think.  it's  not  like  there's  one  piece  that's  you,  in  my  mind,  if  that  makes  sense..."  trails  off,  trying  to  make  his  words  count  before  he  sets  them  free.  "like,  for  example,  i'll  see  a  painting  and  see  your  smile,  or  an  expression  you  give  me.  sometimes  i  can  just  see  something  and  just  have  a  feeling  that  it's  you.    ....    i  don't  know,  it's  my  job  to  unearth  meaning  in  art,  and  you're  on  my  mind  a  lot,   so  it  all  might  be  bias."  eyes  were  trained  on  her  ceiling  as  he  spoke,  confession  flowing  from  his  lips  like  water  from  a  broken  faucet.  maybe  he  would've  felt  more  self  conscious  in  his  vulnerability,  but  he's  already  reached  bedrock  in  the  hole  he'd  dug  himself  in  tonight. "yeah,  i'm  a  regular  bandit,"  he's  unenthusiastic  in  tone,  caught  up  in  all  of  the  confusion  of  her  mixed  signs.  understanding  elena  was  similar  to  walking  through  an  ever-changing  maze,  and  marcus  was  helpless  in  an  endless  pursuit  of  the  right  path  to  take.  stuffed  animal  that  was  pushed  into  his  chest  is  immediately  moved  to  underneath  his  head,  giving  his  arm  a  much-needed  rest  from  holding  his  head  up.  "yeah,  if  you  let  me  sleep,"  he  mutters,  unable  to  stop  his  smile.  the  notion  of  going  to  sleep  scared  him,  but  marcus  knew  the  reality  was  inescapable.  "oh,  it's  definitely  not  boring,"  he  interjects,  "it's  just...  in  a  different  league."  his  eyes  become  unbelievably  heavy,  feeling  the  haze  of  exhaustion  finally  sweeping  over  him.  marcus  pulls  her  close  because  it  feels  like  the  right  thing  to  do,  and  he's  instantly  comforted  when  their  breathing  becomes  synchronized.  a  nagging  thought  finally  overtakes  his  rationale,  and  he  speaks  through  their  silence.  "elena?"  waits  for  her  response:  a  mumble,  a  hum,  anything,  before  he  continues.  "you  would  call  me  if  you  needed  me,  right?  if  you  needed  a  ride,  if  you  were  in  trouble,  ....if  you  were  scared?"  room  is  quiet  enough  that  it  feels  like  the  question  might  have  echoed,  and  the  words  feel  heavy  enough  that  could've  splat  on  her  carpet.  again,  he  can  feel  his  heart  set  off.

Request for you to expand on that cat-hybrid post with Hank, perhaps? 👀 I'm curious to what you'd write for that

Hanks just a cat anyways, ngl. Also, I love cats- They are my favorite animal. So pardon me while I gush about this now- ALSO I am willing to write more for this little AU that exists now, lol.

Yandere! Cat-Hybrid! Hank J. Wimbleton Concept

(Hybrid AU)

Pairing: Romantic/Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Possessive behavior, Stalking, Murder, Blood, Slight manipulation, Violence, Kidnapping, Forced relationship.

- Hank already is rather cat-like in Madness, or at least portrayed as such in media.

- But what if this killing machine was a cat-hybrid?

- Sporting a pair of ears, tail, claws and fangs....

- The already well-trained killing machine just got even deadlier.

- How you would've met this hybrid is not much different from how you'd encounter normal Hank.

- He's a stray, wandering the ruined streets of Nevada and slaughtering anyone who oversteps their boundaries.

- He's agile, fast, and deadly.

- He also likes to stalk.

- He's a big kitty as Hank is normally tall, too.

- Once he sets his eyes/goggles on you, Hank feels the urge to follow you.

- Usually he'd just watch you from a distance until he felt comfortable/obsessed enough to stand in front of you.

- Although... feeding him?

- You just made this cat even more obsessed over you.

- Not just feeding him, either.

- Show any sort of care towards him and the cat's all over you.

- You can either be scared or comforted by the fact this cat-hybrid follows you around.

- It's scary because you just see this figure dawned in black clothing, red goggles staring at you while he's perched on some spot.

- Those ears picking up on every sound you make... tail swaying while he just watches.

- It's also a little comforting because you feel Hank's got your back, the efficient cat-hybrid not letting any threat come close to you.

- Cat-hybrid! Hank (Or Cat! Hank for short) is also a bit more affectionate than normal Hank.

- When the cat's obsessed enough, he trots on over to you to sit in front of you.

- You aren't sure what to do until Hank prods at your hand.

- Now you're stuck rubbing his ears and face while the hybrid purrs, loudly.

- He doesn't speak, just makes small noises and purrs.

- Although when he's comfortable he will make an attempt to sprawl over you.

- Doesn't really matter where, as long as he knows it's safe, Hank will curl up on top of you and just start purring.

- Hank is also possessive, not letting any of his fellow strays near you along with any threat.

- That goes for Sanford, Deimos, Doc, and especially not Jebus, Sheriff, or Tricky.

- You are his and he claims you as such, rubbing himself into you to make you smell like him.

- Hank, even as a hybrid, doesn't care about staining himself with blood.

- If you stumble upon him reducing Bandits or anyone else to shreds, he won't care if he stains you in it.

- In fact, he'll just pounce on you and nuzzle into you like always.

- Hank would probably be a hybrid that bites, too.

- If it wasn't for the face mask around his mouth he'd probably nibble on you when comfortable or moody.

- Also, because cat, he 100% reacts to boxes, laser pointers, etc.

- He doesn't mind if you use those to play with him.

- He enjoys taking a break and relaxing with you.

- If he could, he'd find a big box, then scoop you into his arms and sit in it.

- Purring all the while.

- The cat would probably melt if you rubbed his face or ears.

- His purring is loud, but probably not as loud as Sanford's would be.

- He also has sharp claws.

- If he's upset he will dig those into something.

- Even if it's your skin, unfortunately....

- Hank would also make a big deal if anyone came near you.

- One of his fellow hybrid friends? He hisses when they get attention and he doesn't.

- Bandits, Zeds, or anything he hates? Gone. He's feral about it. He wants them dead.

- In a way, it's nice to have the hybrid be on your side.

- But the cat's not against kidnapping or murder.

- Hank would drag you away to some abandoned building to live in at some point.

- Then it can just be you and him.

- You'll be happy to have such an efficient protector, right?

Watched "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish"

Okay, so for how much this film has been very heavily praised by critics and animation fans alike - and it really is incredible that this could even happen with a sequel to a Shrek spinoff in 20 freaking 22 - while I definitely enjoyed the film still, I can't say I *loved* it either.

The plot honestly didn't engage me all that much, mainly because the way the forest most of the film takes place in operates - while certainly creative - is able to just mold the environment around what the plot demands, and not every character turn felt earned to me either. Plus the writing can get a little repetitive and while there were indeed great laughs to be had, I didn't find the film all *that* funny. That said, there's still a pretty good flow to it and it always throws in some new twist or character insight to break up the journey and keep your attention.

The visuals are something else entirely. While the textures aren't all there, the character animation conveys such a wide variety of motion - especially during the action scenes, which are a serious joy to look at. Not to mention the very colorful, vivid backgrounds that really capture the storybook feel, and some really clever artistic flairs that pop up every now and then. There's a reason this is what everyone has hyped above all else ever since the first trailer, and this along with "The Bad Guys" really speaks for the exciting future Dreamworks has in store.

I liked a lot of the characters too. Puss has a pretty engaging journey of self-discovery and I also enjoy his relationship with Kitty Softpaws. Most of the antagonists are fun too - from the bandit found-family Goldy and the Three Bears, to the power-hungry Big Jack Horner, and of course, the ominous whistling Wolf who will send chills every time he appears. Perro did admittedly get on my nerves from time to time, but even then his presence in the story was very justified by the end.

So yeah, it's definitely a good movie, and I'm really glad it's won over so many people. I'm just somewhat more neutral on it, at least as a first viewing. Maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind, I dunno.

☀️🎃 Farmtale Boys Official Intro 🎃☀️

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

☀️Sunny (Farmtale Sans)☀️

Sunny is about as laidback as you can get. He’s a lazybones. Not surprising, for a Sans, but there is something different. He doesn’t have that slight melancholy about him. He never went through resets or a genocide route. He was never trapped underground. His world was a peaceful one and the most he’s worried about (before the Incident that led him and his brother here) was what was going on with the machine.

Sunny is in charge of the crops on the farm. He plants everything from apples to zucchini and everything in between. He actually works really hard, though you’d never know it to look at him. He’s usually lazing on the porch, straw between his teeth, hat over his sockets, looking half asleep. He puns and goofs around like other Sanses and he loves to name critters after foods. If his brother lets him name a litter of kittens or some of the new chicks, they’re going to end up with names like Rutabaga or Nugget.

He’s good friends with Comet and with Sansy. They like to hang out and pun together, and talk about plants and food and such. Everything is just chill when Sunny’s around, except that it’s really warm because of his kind heart and his sunny smile.

Sunny speaks with a quiet country drawl. “Y’all come by any time ya want,” he says. “Door’s always open, and comp’ny’s always welcome.”

🎃Pumpkin (Farmtale Papyrus) 🎃

Pumpkin is very calm for a Papyrus, and patient as all get out. He puts up with a lot more from his brother than some of the other Paps do. He’s got the confidence of a Papyrus, and the friendly nature, but he’s not as loud and excitable as the others. He is very practical and goes about his work on the farm with diligence and strength.

The Great Pumpkin is in charge of the animals on the farm. He’s got a few horses and some cows, sheep and a couple of mischievous goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, a couple of herding doggos, and a whole colony of cats. The cats are his special sweethearts (even the ones who are sassy and standoffish). He loves them so much!

He tries very hard to give away or sell the kittens, but sometimes they’re just too cute! Most of the cats on the farm are kittens he’s raised. A couple of them are cats Pumpkin rescued after their owners drove them out to the farm to abandon them. (There’s a whole list at the end of this post. Thanks to @skulls-and-cypresses for helping me name all the kitties!) Pumpkin prefers to name the kitties (and his other animals) with good wholesome, sensible names. (Potato is not a name for a cat, Sunny! And don’t even talk to him about the pig that was almost named Bacon! Stars! Have some respect!)

Pumpkin really bonded with Captain, Sweets, and Rus. They all work together on projects sometimes and Pumpkin is eager to help his friends. He has a soft voice for a Papyrus. “We love having’ our friends over. Come by any time!”

🐱Farmtale Cats 🐱 

*Special thanks to @skulls-and-cypresses for the names and cat thoughts!

Bandit is the Mother of Bagel and Butter among many other kits.

Romeo and Juliet had Sweetpea, Popcorn, Rutabaga, Rhubarb, Turnip, and Wheat.

Joey and Ellie Mae are a pair that Pumpkin found and adopted.

Other kitties include Scamp, Parsnip, Swede, Squash, Salt and Pepper, and Parsley and Scallion.

Defiant Sea/Oriesi (My first proper DnD PC)

(Just gonna use this image as a placeholder until I can properly draw her. XD I don't own it, it's just to show what she will look like. But in short, my PC is a Viking kitty!!)

Oh @exileandtrust~ Do you think your archer could be friends with this grumpy kitty? XD

Defiant Sea / Oriesi the Arctic Tabaxi Lv. 3 Spellblade Fighter

"I... vill not be joining you... this day, Arni... I must first... atone for vhat... you made me do... My love..."

Current campaign: Fallen Shards (Homebrew privately run campaign)

Current party: * Alley Von-Thrike the Valian Human Artificer * Culio Lightbearer the Fire Genasi * Dulla the Mountain Breaker (Mountain Dwarf)

Stats- Strength: 18 Dexterity: 18 Constitution: 11 Intelligence: 18 Wisdom: 11 Charisma: 13

Main weapons: Longsword (on back), Short sword (on left hip), Dagger (Right thigh), Ice based magic.

Appearance: A female Lynx and Snow Leopard hybrid Tabaxi, with golden-brown fur (summer coat) speckled with black dots all over, with black fluffy tips on her long ears and a black nose. Her cheeks, inner ears and muzzle are a dull white, with a black tip at the end of her long tail. She has only one expression and it's usually to glare with her piercing gold eyes. She wears a mix of half plate and leather armour, worn down with age and constant use, with a small sky blue cloth on her belt bearing the emblem of a white rearing bear in front of a sword and hammer crossed together... the symbol of the noble house that was once in Hilgarvik, a small village located in Nambia.

Voice Claim: (Including video below) Defiant has a Slavic/Icelandic accent and speaks slightly broken Common. Her voice is soft but gravelly, and always speaks with a growl.

Background Story: Originally a captain of the guard in charge of protecting the small humble village of Hilgarvik, located under the icy tundra of Namdia, Defiant Sea led a small platoon consisting mostly of those who she grew up and attended bootcamp with. Every soldier was a man, woman and creature she knew by name, and together they fought bandits and beasts alike, all to protect the small village they all called home.

Amongst her platoon were her two childhood friends, Gellir the human, and her lifelong crush Arnleif the Half-Elf, who both called her Dee-Sea.

However, in a cruel twist of fate, Arnleif betrayed Defiant Sea and her entire village when he brought with him an entire gang of bandits and assassins to lay siege on the village and burn it all down, all to simply reach the nobleman's home in the heart of the village and steal the treasured relic inside. Thousands were slaughtered, including many of those Defiant knew since youth. But, with the village still under her oath of protection, she faced off against Arnleif in the manor of the nobleman and the two fought while the flames engulfed the village all around them.

It took a blind fit of rage for Defiant to defeat Arnleif, and by the time she sensed the battle's end, it was too late to fix anything... Arnleif fell on top of her with her blade plunged through his gut, and as he died she held him close and whispered her confession of love to him, knowing that she could never forgive herself for this but at least her secrets would die with him... or so she thought.

When the flames finally settled and the village began its rebuilding effort, Defiant fled from her village and headed to the mainland... to Kernai. For the next few years, she would train to hone her skills to become a Fighter, using her Namdian bloodborne gift of elemental control to become an ice based Spellblade user, all to end up as a mere mercenary for hire under the alias of Oriesi, no longer wishing connect herself to her past or her defining name.

One such job required her to journey to the Emerald Valley alongside a happy-go-lucky human woman, a grumpy, drunken Dwarf and a Fire Genasi noble, to a village plagued by creatures of nightmares simply referred to as Abominations, and the star-fallen Spire of obsidian and black flames that mass produce these Abominations to attack and kidnap the villagers. It is now up to Orisesi and her makeshift band to fend of these nightly raids and figure out the secrets to the Dark Spire.

[frogtanii]

🔮 again HAHAHAHAHA

so now that we've established that i get attached easily and you are stuck with me indefinitely.

let me just-

akaashi was a romantic at heart, longing for a love like the one between the pages of the books he adored so much.

kisses shared under starry skies, promises exchanged in fields of dandelions, and intwined fingers amidst the busy streets.

he wanted that for himself, and for a while, he thought he did.

with a sigh, he closed the laptop he was editing his latest video on, hot chocolate sounded great right about now.

so he made his way to the kitchen, The Princess Bride by William Goldman in his hand.

upon approaching the kitchen, however, he saw the light was on, and a smidge of dread grew fron his gut at the possiblity of encountering meiko, the man hid the book behind himself as he slowed his pace to the kitchen.

"y/n," he sighs a breath of relief when he spots her donning atsumu's hoodie and a small pang of jealousy hit him.

were they dating?

if so, for how long?

and if so, why wouldnt they tell the rest of them-

"akaashi?" y/n asks again, a little firmly as he wasnt listening to what she said.

breathe, he told himself, dont get ahead of yourself.

"hmm?" he fidgets with the book in his hands, taking in how she looked at night, makeup-less, relaxed, comfortable.

she looked beautiful.

the kind of beauty that left the main character in his love stories speechless. the kind that you only see under a certain light once, and remember forever, and that made him smile in his heart of hearts.

"i was gonna make hot chocolate, would you like some?"

"please," he says with a smile, moving to sit across y/n.

she sends him a smile before proceeding to pull out the ingredients for hot chocolate, along with two mugs.

"The Princess Bride is a good read," she comments with a soft voice, "i've always wanted my own westley, a bandit after my own heart," she giggles.

akaashi didnt know what to say, he looks back down at the book he read time and time again and all the words seemed to merge together.

what was this feeling? he wanted to keep that smile on her face and that giggle on her lips constantly.

forget the butterflies in his stomach, he felt like elephants were trying to escape the confines of his stomach.

flip, flip, flip.

he wasnt even paying attention to the story anymore, just absentmindedly flipping through the pages just so he wouldnt look y/n in he eyes.

how could he? after all he said, did and didnt do.

how could she be so kind?

despite keeping them at arms length, she still cared.

tears welled in his eyes, he couldnt see, or hear, but he felt a sting on his finger so he put the book down and blinked the tears away.

"oh no," y/n tsked, letting the hot chocolate bubble on the stove as she rumaged through the cabinets for a band-aid.

"may i?" she gestures to the paper cut on his finger, and he lets her take his hand to wrap a hello kitty band-aid around it, "be careful next time," she fake scolds, "i get that the story is great but flip the pages carefully,"

akaashi just stared. he could see all the details of her face fron this angle, the scars, marks, bumps, the focus in her eyes and her tongue peeking out a little.

yes, she was beautiful, he decided, with that silly grin on her face when she was with everyone, AND with the serene look in her eyes brought out by late night thinking.

still staring dumbfoundedly as she went back to stirring the hot chocolate, he barely missed her speak as he was caught up in a lovestruck stupor.

"could you read to me while i make the drinks?"

stuttering out a reply, he flipped to the first page with shaky hands and cleared his throat before starting.

maybe this was something he could (and wanted) to get used to.

late night drinks, a good book, and y/n, taking in every single word he said with a gentle smile on her face.
