CAT Ghost INSTINCTS

Damian comes back to the manor one day with... a new school acquaintance (coughfriendcough) due to the fact they need to work on a school project together and Danny Fenton was the only one in that class that Damian would tolerate to have as a partner.

Everything about the kid seemed normal, heck very normal if a bit shy... or at least that was until the kid suddenly zero focused on a corner of the room and stared at it non blinking. Then after what felt like hours blinked once and returned to normal, chatting away like nothing happened.

....It also doesn't help that Alfred the cat... did the same thing.. at the same time as Danny.

Yeah something is... off about Damian's new friend.

they would get divorced in one universe just to find eachother in another one

alternatively titled: sometimes you're the level-headed token flesh-head impulse-control-and-polycule-member of a stubborn, eccentric, and hearty telephone-headed drug addict, and there's cruelty in the world you deem fit to suicidally fight, and that either goes about as well as you'd expect it to, or you learn about love and the value of your life and junk along the way

IMAGINE. working at ur stupid uhhh job or whatever. pulling into your drive way and ready to work on some crazy project in your garage. opening the door to the most unfamiliar silence. did your wife and kid leave for something? could you imagine knocking on your kids door, hardly getting an answer, and opening it to find the splattered remains of your wife across his room your child is scared! hes hardly consolable, in a state of shock and terror. you are too, but youre the adult here. you need to take charge. you need to protect him. you need to do something. you need to do something.

New blog rule (inspired by recent events): antisemites get one (1) snarky reply from me before they are reported if I choose to respond.

After that, the only response will be thus:

Do you think getting struck by lightning would affect Nm? Would it charge up his goo for an atomic blast or just electrocute him…

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Squints and stares

From what I remember, Nightmare doesn't have anything to do with electricity, so he probably wouldn't store the charge from the lightning for any grand reason. He could get electrocuted, maybe, but that's dependent on a bunch of science-y stuff, like his goo density, what properties it has, if the goo is a conductor or not, so on and so forth

Had a weird Hollow Knight-related dream a couple days ago, so I decided to draw a major scene I remembered from it dgsgshf

More context will be in the tags, for those interested!

While you'd think the relationship would have moved at a truly glacial pace, once together, it's only eh....five or six months before Samuels comes back to their flat with an actual honest-to-god engagement ring. Logically, they're living together, they've exchanged words of intentions for this to be a long term relationship, so he figures he should do this the proper human way.

Unfortunately, Amanda balks at the concept of being/engaged/ because what the fuck, Chris, (not counting cryo) I haven't known you for a year yet??? Poor thing assumes her distaste is because he grossly misread their situation and his place in her life. She has to stress to him that it's not him, not the color of his blood ("Amy, it's not really blood,") just that its awfully fast. Its enough to calm him down but he's still embarrassed, and then the horror of having to return the ring occurs to him and--

"Why would you return it?"

"You said--"

"Hold on to it, for a little while." She never wanted to be anyone's wife, anyone's mother, anyone's possession...But if anyone on the planet would understand the hesitation she had with commitment, it would be the man she helped carve company logos out his fingerprints.

"Do you mean it?"

It breaks her heart, the way he's beaming at her like she actually accepted instead of requesting an extension, but his sheer /joy/ is infectious. He's like her, so very dry and to the point, their shared sense of humor is subtle, sarcastic, and often dark--yet she cracks, and she's giggling. Samuels can't laugh: almost no synthetic can by design, it's too complex of a biological process to bother mimicking but she knows if he could, he'd be joining her.

He over thinks how long "a while" is and goes through a monthly crisis, takes to carrying the ring in his coat, but never asking out of fear it hasn't been long enough. Amanda finds it there one day about four months later, while looking for a missing key. Christopher finds her sitting on the bedroom floor, glassy eyed, coat over her knees, twisting the ring around (of course it fits perfectly he probably laser measured her hands)

"If...you want, you can keep it on." Amanda nods slowly, the realization of the 'yes' sinking in belatedly she she has to stand shakily to hug him. Tightly.

what a wild time Friday has been

[e-louise-bates]

Thursday morning we drove through a spring nor’easter, one of the worst we’ve had all year, to get to the bus station to take the bus to the airport. White-knuckled through the driving, but the bus ride was great. Airport was fine, boarded the plane a little late due to the weather, but still no reason to fret.

TWO AND A HALF HOURS later, due to reasons that had nothing to do with the weather, we finally took off. In the back half of the plane were a large group of the most obnoxious teenagers and useless chaperones I have ever come across—and I generally have a pretty high tolerance for teenage nonsense, because I remember being a teen pretty well, plus I actually like teens. So. Late plane, rude passengers. Red-eye flight. Not much sleep due to teenagers being loud and obnoxious in the back. We finally get to London and have to circle for half an hour before we can land. Our 6-hour flight has now turned into 10.

Joy and my parents make it through the automated passport check just fine. Grace, Carl and I get error messages and have to do it in person. There is only one official at the desk and she is haranguing a family with very little English language skills entering the UK on holiday—from Boston—for not having visas. (????? That’s not how this works) She is so busy being nasty to them that the line piles up behind. The guy behind us in line pulls out his phone and calls his doctor’s office to tell them in despair he’s not going to be able to make his appointment. Finally we’re routed to a different official, who is sweet and kind and passes us through no problem.

There are various other mishaps, including the SIM card we got for my phone only being able to receive texts or calls but not send them, and Carl and Mom and Joy getting separated from Dad, Grace and me and me not being able to call Carl, BUT

24 hours since we drove away from our house in the middle of a blizzard, we are settled into our Airbnb outside Cambridge and our grand three-generational England adventure has officially begun.
