Slightly updated Susan

[fibula-rasa]

Would never describe myself as "a bright little patriot" but an all-black outfit with a grape-colored bag absolutely sounds like something I would wear

What are you wearing?

Susan Angora

Been thinking about them a lot

[12timetraveler]

Distraction headcannons on the way my love! HCS for how the gang deals with an Autistic Reader? HCS for what type of pet the gang would have? HCS for Hosea finding out a much younger reader fancies him! I understand exactly what your going through, it's not an easy thing and I'm here for you BIG LOVES ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for the distraction. The vet just took her back.

I'm going to skip the first one only because I don't have enough experience and interaction with autism to be able to handle that one with any sort of accuracy or justice.

But:

Arthur: Arthur would have a dog. Some big mutt. I could even see him having an Irish Wolfhound mutt or some other absolutely GIANT dog. She's a big sweet girl.

Charles: Charles also has a dog, a big fluffy husky (that may or may not actually be half wolf). Very loyal boy. Best friends with Arthur's dog.

John: I think John is more of a cat person. He really prefers the way they don't constantly need or demand attention, but will let you know when they want you to pet them. They're pretty clear on their signals. I could also see him having an adorable little hamster or guinea pig.

Javier: Javier has a parrot I think. He teaches it songs, and it sings all day long. (It also knows swear words and teaches Jack his first curse)

Dutch: Dutch has a really fancy angora rabbit. One with really long fur that has to be brushed every damn day. Just so much damn fur.

Hosea: Hosea probably has a little ferret that just perches on his shoulder all day. It's also very good at slipping things out of people's pockets without them noticing.

Lenny: Lenny has a little snake. Like a corn snake or a hognose or something smaller. It looks to just wrap around his arm while he reads or does guard duty.

Susan: cat. Susan has a big Maine Coon cat. It'll be nice if you deserve it. If you're really good, it'll come and sit on your lap and demand pets.

Karen: I think Karen has a little Shetland Pony that follows her around. It's short and sassy, and isn't afraid to show people it's displeasure, but it's sweet as sugar towards Karen and makes sure she doesn't get hurt when she's drunk.

Mary Beth: Mary Beth has a rabbit. Nothing fancy like Dutch. Just a little lop-eared cutie. It's snuggly and like to say hi to everyone.

Bill: Bill has an old Blood hound that is "retired" so he just lounges around all day.

Tilly: Tilly has a little mouse that just sits on her shoulder. Doesn't do much, just perches there and watches everyone.

Molly: Molly has a little parakeet that sits nearby and grooms itself while she does her make up.

Pearson: Pearson has a sweet little pot-bellied pig that cleans up scraps and loves everyone.

Micah: most animals don't like Micah but there's this one raven that follows him around. He doesn't even really want the Raven but it never leaves his side.

Jack: Cain

Abigail: she's got a stray cat that wanders into camp sometimes. Doesn't stick around but she loves the little one-eyed cat all the same. It always finds her, no matter where she moves to.

Sean: Sean has this little turtle that he found one day on it's back. He set it up right, but ended up bringing it back to camp. He sometimes ties a balloon on its back so that it doesn't get lost.

Swanson: swanson has this mangy, paranoid little tom cat with like... Half it's fur missing. It doesn't really like anyone, but it's nice enough.

Strauss: Strauss has a little rat that sits on his desk and helps him do his numbers. No one believes it actually helps him, but he insists that rats are very smart.

Sadie: Sadie has this little squirrel that rides around in her pocket and yells at people.

Shitty Writing Prompt From May

Prompt; “We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side, but what if we’re the villains on the other?”

I tried to write western but oh god is it hard. Respect to anyone who can pull it off cause I sure as hell can’t.

Sherin tapped on the small, now empty shot glass with her fingernails. The old, unfinished, and splintered wood creaked as she leaned her elbow on to it, using her hand to hold her head. The bar dog drew in a deep breath, mocking letters on the wood with his first digit, so she could view.

‘yur cut off’ he ‘spelled’ out. She looked up, furrowing her brows, betrayed by her closest ally and only ally in the barren dessert town. “Maybe try some adam’s ale before you air the paunch.” He phrased it like a query, but said it like it was a horses command. He was only worried for her. The doors were pushed open by a cowboy wearing a new pair of Angoras. He chewed on a small bunch of tobacco, visible from the side of his mouth. He was rich or celebrating. “Aren’t you that Sherin lady?” He laughed. “Aren’t you a blue belly?” She snarled back. It was apparent she had been bending the elbow, but she still layed a hand on her black-eyed susan sitting in her holster. She couldn’t be too careful due to the wanted papers in the town yonder. It wasn’t her mistake, but the sherif felt it was. She had fired a few bullets into a buscadero and sent em to the ol’ town bone orchard. She had saved the piece of shit town and had been outlawed since. “Calm yourself missy, i’m here to help you.” He raised his hand by his head, towards the bastard’s bar sign. She took her hand to the table ‘gain. He was ok to stay.

overall, do I like it? no. Was it fun to write? a little. Am i proud of myself for trying out a new genre and writing style? yes.

I HAVE ACTUALLY MET THIS LADY.

My family used to breed show rabbits when I was a kid, and she would be at the shows, combing and blowdrying her angoras on a lazy Susan before a competition.

Everything comical about dog show people is doubly so at a rabbit show; the aggression, the pretentiousness, the infighting, all surrounding tiny fluffy beings. The Angora breeders and the Rex and Mini Rex breeders definitely took it up a level 😁 Those who reared the meat breeds - "commercial body type" breeds - tended to view themselves as more of small-scale livestock farmers, and tended to be a bit more down to earth (and a bit more culturally rural and politically conservative) as opposed to those who viewed themselves as Show Rabbit Fanciers.

This is a rabbit

Sunday Munday 15 Questions

2. When was the last time you cried?

A day ago. 

3. Do you want/have kids?

If I was asked this question ten years ago, the answer would have been a hard no. But I am beginning to think that children aren’t so bad and I would not mind having them. 

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? No, though I’ll admit that I refrain from using it intentionally. A little wit is nice an overdose of sarcasm would have you seem like an unpleasant person to be around.  

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Eyes, smile, and their voice. 

6. What’s your eye color?

Deep brown.

7. Scary movie or happy ending?\

I like a bit of both but I detest romcoms. The only time I would even watch something so brain-numbing is when I am forced to. I enjoy horror movies and anything spooky, count me in!

I can sing and play many instruments, paint and make my own costumes. (I’m a cosplayer) I can also speak a ton of languages if that is a talent lol.

14. Favorite subject in school?

English, Chemistry, Physics, Algebra. I hated Geometry but 

15. Dream job? When I was a child, I wanted very much to be an Archaeologist and discover some magical relic of the past someday. It brought a sense of excitement when I learned about radiocarbon dating, forensic tests on mummies and the like for the first time. I still secretly want to be a professor. Haha. But as life would have it, I went down a different path and only live this dream through my writing.  Thank you for the tag @seilune  Tagging -  @dardillien-ward @snowfallen-nymph @susan-gampre @sanasunbringer @illdraes @mavenofthearcane @thebuildingcacophony and anyone else who’d like to participate :3
