Get domesticated, bitch.
#love between fairy and devil#this is NOT a trap neuter return case#he is only semi-feral and CAN be socialized with work#and the right type of cat grass#preferably from Xishan#Xunfeng on the other hand is a lost cause so feel free to neuter him and return him to your local colony

my personal indulgence is thinking about númenorean gothic literature
#like technically they probably shouldn't have it by quasi-historical-era-appropriate measures? esp if not going with steampunk númenor?#but I don't care because the vibe is just immaculate#vaguely historical nienor the gothic heroine anyone?#or the specific subgenre based on 'anything could happen in the only semi-civilised colonies right'#(all orientalist vibes to this sentence were on purpose)#and then later when they get fixated on death you get that and ghosts and frankenstein stuff...#also like I usually imagine númenor with vaguely antiquity vibes fashion-wise but that's only a step from the 1810s tbh#anyway it makes sense only to me#my post#Númenor#silm#Silmarillion

black sails ending possibility #72: whether or not silver successfully 'unmakes' flint doesnt matter because it turns out that after spending a decade in asylums and prison camps thomas has also gotten radicalized as fuck and immediately reverses all of silver's efforts
#im sure there are already fics like this#i just love the idea of james thinking he's changed too much and that he can't give up his new worldviews even for thomas#only to discover that thomas has also changed in the same direction and is the first to suggest drastic action#the political situation in early colonial georgia is quite unique. i would imagine it would have an impact on someone so justice-oriented#...ofc this implies that the obvious original tragedy is semi-displaced into a Secret Second Tragedy later on#we know what happens to flint by the beginning of TI after all

“Israel was set up by Jews from America” damn ur right I wonder why more Jews from Europe weren’t involved in the foundation of a country in 1948

And they made sure that the obituaries showed pictures of smokestacks
(Invalid Litter Dept./At The Drive In)
#cyberpunk 2077#virtual photography#evelyn parker#I know she's not pictured but it is about her#the screaming at the end of the song always gets to me#a vivid dissection that mocked the strut of vivisection#a semi-automatic colony and a silencing that still walks the streets

This is for all stray cat, feral feeders.
We devote hours every single day for these cats. The picture is of one of my colonies. "I may never be a lap cat, Or one who comes when called, I may resist the hand that tries to touch, And some may think I’m flawed, I may prefer my freedom, To your warm and cozy house, I may reject the bowl of finest foods, For the chance to chase a mouse. But the box you put out for me, Feels safe and warm and dry, And I raise my eyes to thank you, When I see you walking by. And I eat the food you give me, And I listen to your voice, I may never be a lap cat, But you offer me that choice. One day I’ll see the winter, One day I’ll see the rain, I may grow old not knowing, That there is freedom from this pain. But I know you try to help me, And although my days will end, I may never be a lap cat, But I know you are my friend.
-unknown

How Maurice sleeps knowing he has escaped through an almost unreachable window (and then one that was cracked open on top) causing us great concern and endangering himself
#now we have to cat proof all the windows fml#fuck my wallet also - that stuff is not cheap#really ideal before a 37 degree heat day where you need to make a little draft in the flat at night#never a dull moment#and i crave them so much :')#he's from a semi-feral colony so the call of freedom is strong#god knows how long he's been out and how many mice he's eaten 😩#at least i could collect him easily and he wasn't far away#our cat maurice#cat blogging

Apparently the only inspiration that I needed to make a colony world was to watch beast wars again Anyway so it's cybertron...but with reptiles/lizards I'm not sure why but the idea of a colony world consisting of just animals like gila monsters, Iguanas, crocodiles, and geckos is just...so cool totally not just because I really want to make a gecko transformers oc and think that there should be more reptiles as alt modes besides dinosaurs cough cough
#transformers#Possible new colony world?????#I think the colony world would have a lot of semi-aquatic reptiles and lizards#but then I also think that there could be sections of the planet that are mainly airborn or land-only#we'll see....

Ok but this has angst potential if Tim starts out treating him like a dangerous individual, looking for potential missing persons, mysterious murders (besides the usual) with bite marks, and making counter measures. (Hmm. These blood blossoms are said to repel the dead. Would that work on the undead?). And finding more facts that support his theory like skin cold to the touch, fangs and claws, avoidance of garlic toast that one time, and a few other things. Like evidence he has a ‘special drink’ that he doesn’t let anyone else near or even catch a glimpse of (it’s ectoplasm) and seems to be trading with that woman for it. There might even be a whole secret network of vampires.
Everything is going to plan until Damian discovers his research.
Good news, with the current amount of proof Tim has accumulated at this point he has successfully convinced Damian that this guy is a vampire!
The problem? Immediately afterwards he got a lecture from his youngest brother on being specist.
Damian: Has he made any moves to harm another person?
Tim: no.
Damian: Did you find any evidence he has been killing?
Tim: …no
Damian: Did you even consider he might be finding alternative and humane ways to get the sustenance his species requires to survive?!
Tim: …………..no.
Damian: imbecile
So now Tim feels like the worst person in the world for planning to kill what is essentially the vegetarian version of a vampire.
Damian has decided that it is his duty to correct his moronic ‘brother's’ mistake and be the ambassador to this new creature on behalf of the human species.
Exhausted college student Danny gets mistaken for a vampire one night when he tiredly hissed at one of the bat family and showed fangs as he forgot he was eating some cherry candy that stained his teeth red. He also has pointed ears. Red Robin is on the case to track down the vampire in Gotham. He also found him kinda cute
Tim tapped his fingers together in front of him. He leaned back in his chair and looked at his cork board, which were covered in photos of Daniel J. Nightingale, red string connecting each piece of information together to form a puzzle that he needed to solve.
It had been months, but somehow, Danny was evading Tim's every attempt to find out where he lived and whether or not he was truly a bloodsucking creature.
With how he was consistently disappearing under Tim's surveillance every time, he was beginning to think that Danny was truly a vampire.
The door opened, and Jason waltzed in and leaned over the back of his chair, his elbow narrowly digging into Tim's head. Tim yelped as his chair suddenly leaned back at a drastically new angle before he glared at him.
"... found a new victim, stalker?" Jason teased, looking at the pictures of Danny.
"... I'm not a stalker. And he's not a 'victim', he's a possibly dangerous individual that I need to find and neutralize."
Jason raised an eyebrow, looking at a picture where Danny was passed out on a park bench, a half eaten sandwich on his stomach that was being stolen away by a pigeon.
".... dangerous?" He said, his tone slightly unbelieving.
"I have reasons to believe that he's a vampire," Tim said vaguely.
Jason hummed. "Oh. So that's why you have this picture of him where his shirt's riding up over his stomach?"
Tim turned pink. "That's— that's for research! That picture is very important to me!"
"Oh, I'm sure it's important," Jason smirked. "So while you're figuring out a way to... 'neutralize' this vampire, can you try to get me this girl's phone number?" He said, picking up and waving a picture where Danny was talking to a tall, red haired woman. "She's hot."
"No!! And get out of my room!"
#Damian makes first contact with the ‘vampires’. Just casually approaching them and letting them know he knows about their semi dead status#and officially apologized for his brother’s assassination attempts on him. Danny assumes Damian and his brother know he’s a ghost.#(Tim is screaming from behind a computer monitor.) he didn’t know Damain’s plan until it was too late.#Jason may or may not tag along to meet the pretty orange vampire. I say let’s make Jazz a Halfa in this.#Either from repeated exposure to ectoplasm or she died after Vlad used the new nano suit on her. A slow death.#This means Valerie also became a halfa. And let’s add Tucker and Sam too from when they got possessed by a staff/undergrowth.#So with Ellie (and possibly Dan) that now makes a proper vampire colony. Who all hate Vlad.#Anyways. So Danny thinks the Waynes know their secret and are cool with them. He was clearly wary at first when the child approached#(unrelated news reports have shown Timothy Drake screaming and running out of Wayne Tower in a very specific direction. Eyes glued to phone#But Damian is very thorough in his explanation that Gotham is a safe place for them and their kind and not to let ‘Bigots’ ruin it.#Tim: DAMIAN I SWEAR!#Red Hood or Jason might have been following from a distance as ‘protection’.#Also. I once saw a post where Jason’s pit rage could be sucked out so what if the Wayne’s (or at least Damian Jason Tim Bruce and Cass)#Who have been exposed the most to Lazarus water actually changed their DNA. So now their bodies naturally produce a certain amount of ecto.#They aren’t dead and they aren’t halfas but it’s still not exactly healthy. Not as noticeable for Cass and Damian who grew up with it#their bodies adjusted to it so it made their reflexes sharper and combat instincts keener.#But for Jason Bruce and Tim it explains why they are tired or feel like crap all the time.#So when they get into a relationship with one of the vampires Jason and Tim could offer them to drink their blood#and the Halfas are like ‘you sure?’ But the Waynes confirm they trust them. (Jason is ABSOLUTELY the one who offers first.)#Might even start with them just drinking from the wrist before moving up to the neck. They might reveal they CAN drink from each other#but it’s not exactly healthy (since they NEED their ecto but the bats could assume vampire ‘blood’ has a negative affect or something.)#For extra angst imagine that one of the vampires gets hurt in a fight.#Like the Halfas immediately recognize their partners in costume via scent and don’t really hide that they figured it out (or the method how#And the bats are in trouble so someone (likely Jazz) go to help out and the villain might throw her hard against a wall.#Not nearly as deadly as if she was human but Red Hood gets FURIOUS. Danny might help out Red Robin in a similar way.#Or just be there as backup for his sister. Maybe the other vampires join too. Make it a full on vampire attack/swarm on this villain.#Afterwards the Waynes with partners are frantically checking them over because even if they know they are inhuman#They were still slammed into multiple buildings and pavement with no armor and just civilian clothes. Even SUPERMAN wears padding.

ugh i wanna talk about ocs but i dont even know where to start
#so my one story called starquakes right. im just gonna do a lore dump here#so it starts with the kingdom of the cosmos- a fantasy kingdom of elves who harness magical powers. its mostly just practical magic and-#doesnt rlly add much to the story but WHATEVERRR#two powerful individuals- teachers in the kingdom's largest college- atrophy and zenith are the most well known magic users. despite..#being more introverted atrophy takes on the responsibility of private lessons with a young man named carrion.#carrion is a very power and knowledge hungry person and he takes advantage of atrophy's tutoring of him by pushing the limits of her advice#her being his mentor gives him special access to older textbooks. personal journals from past sages. ect ect .#carrion falls down the rabbit hole. enraptured by scrolls and texts and information. this information leads him to an ancient series of-#tunnels below the kingdom. these tunnels lead under the heart of the city in a giant cavern. here lies the darkness.#the darkness is a semi-sentient parasite that takes control of any living thing it can get into contact with if it doesnt just eat it and -#add it to its mass first. carrion is ground zero. he is the first infected. its only goal is to spread and now carrion is in charge of that#now introducing the royal family. a long line of violent colonial power turned academics and peacemakers. the borealis family.#this (for now) consists of the two parents (who dont have names lol) and their two sons: miranda and brutus. brutus is three years younger-#than his brother. this is who carrion has his eyes on.#in an effort to fuel his own desire for power along with the darkness's goal of infecting others carrion kidnaps brutus when hes 11.#he takes brutus to the heart of the darkness and intends to use him as a sacrifice. but he survives. the darkness grabs him by the arm and-#infects him. carrion believes that this is a sign from the darkness that brutus is chosen to be the next heir to the darkness.#after keeping brutus there for around a year to assimilate him to the darkness. and then he goes back to his family#for years the darkness brews and corrupts his mind. it spreads through the nervous system and breaks down his family relationships-#as brutus only gets angrier and angrier.#when brutus is 20 his parents are killed. this is his fault. he staged an “accident” which places miranda on the throne.#the accident was supposed to infect his parents but he couldnt go through with it.#miranda found out soon after his coronation but couldnt bring himself to hurt his brother. so brutus is banished.#he leaves into the forests and caverns and swamps and waits. and waits. and waits.
