Every season the server picks 1 wet cat to throw around in the first episode. 3rd life was scar. Last life I’m not fully sure but let’s say Grian since first bogey kill. Double life was ranchers (and a little of pearl). Limited life was absolutely Skizz. Not a shadow of a doubt in my mind. And secret life is Martyn. It’s like it saw that he won last season and went “Right. None of that.” And then drop kicked him into the sun.

We should also consider sopping wet cat reader who only joined the military out of being broke and depressed as shit and thought might as well die there out on a battlefield instead of doing it themselves.
Except they are just. Really fucking good at what they do without even trying. It doesn’t matter how often they play the “bait” role, the distraction, the first to go out in the open- they just keep surviving.
And obviously, this means they are a good soldier. John Price needs good soldiers, so it’s obvious what should happen next. Except he fucking hates how self-sacrificial you are. All of them do but you just keep doing it.

AT LAST, THE JARCHIVIST CARD YAY (spoilers as usual i suppose)
"Accept that you canot live with yourself. Understand that you must."
i might actually be heading toward continuity with this (?) lul
i love jon dearly, hes my second favorite wet cat from tma (i wonder whos first, go figure lul) not to mention the sacrificial god trope is like one of my favorites and jon fits it really well. you arent born to be anything. you arent the chosen one, you arent even fated for greatness. you were just unlucky. unlucky enough to become the scapegoat for an entire apocalypse. and so now you are guilty. not for your actions, not for your mistaces, but simply for continuing to live.
so anyway yea ahahah silly jarchivist or something, have memes

Megan Fox in knitted leg warmers and short-shorts, a puffy coat and red fishnets, a color guard uniform, an Evil Dead raglan tee and star-spangled underwear, a cropped hoodie and low-rise jeans, an Edwardian prom dress with long white opera gloves. A wet strand of hair drawn through her mouth. Swimming naked in a lake glassy with twilight. Blackening the tip of her tongue with a lighter. In hunger, wan and beautiful as a consumptive heroine. Levitating. Snarling. Doe eyes, full and glossed lips. Dropping onto a car like a wild cat. Projectile vomiting an unctuous, inky liquid onto her best friend. Teeth like a nurse shark. A distended, disarticulated jaw like a python. Jennifer’s body on a sacrificial altar, sobbing. Jennifer’s body moving eerily from a great distance; then too close, and from the wrong angle. Jennifer pulling a rod out of her shish-kebabbed torso, saying, through a mouth of blood, “Do you have a tampon?” Jennifer’s body underlining the politics of Jennifer’s Body; a sex symbol through a funhouse mirror. (The film’s execs thought she’d be a draw for teenage boys, but teenage boys hated it. They didn’t know they were coming to be eaten. Not like that.)

REVIEW: THE VICAR MAN
Okay, so, I finished @ameliahcrowley 's THE VICAR MAN. I promised to leave an Amazon review but Amazon won't let me. So in the spirit of our agreement, I'm leaving a review somewhere and figuring out Amazon later.
TLDR: The Vicar Man is good! I liked it! If you like funny historical fantasy you will probably like it!
So as you could probably guess from the title, The Vicar Man is a spoof of The Wicker Man, the classic folk horror movie. (It's mostly drawing from the Christopher Lee one, not the Nic Cage one, and thank goodness for that.) Dora's village worships a dark, eldritch god and sacrifices virgins to it for the good of the harvest. When a stranger comes to town- a nice young vicar who genuinely seems oblivious to the horrors at hand-
Dora can't just let him get thrown on the sacrificial pyre. She has to save this guy. And the easiest way to keep someone from being a virgin sacrifice is to make sure they're not a virgin anymore. Problem is, Dora's aro/ace, and moderately sex-repulsed. But a man's life's at stake. She sets off on a quest to seduce the Vicar, poking fun of many historical romance tropes along the way.
It might be more accurate to call this story an unromance novel than a fantasy novel- it follows all the conventions of a romance novel, down to the plot beats, but none of them quite wind up where you'd expect. This isn't a traditional love story- but it's not not a love story. This isn't a traditional horror story- but it's not not a horror story. If you're aro and/or ace, you like the idea of historical romance, but you're not here for the Love At First Sight Based Solely On Pantsfeelings? This book was made for you, specifically.
What it is is a comedy, and it's fast-paced and funny the whole way through. Dora's incredibly likeable- especially if you're a snarky, nerdy bluestocking, or if you've left a high-control religious group- and her inner monologue never fails to please. Norman, the titular vicar, is a sad, wet cat of a man, a poor little meow meow, adorable and kind and So Very Doomed. The relationship between the two of them - well, I shan't spoil things, but I thought it was delightful.
This book has one quality that didn't always gel with me- the language sits a bit wrong for a historical, even one that's set in the year "uh. well. there's probably a king? named George?". There's a fair bit of Tumblr dialect sprinkled through here- in particular there's a handful of jokes that revolve around 21st century feminist terms, sometimes deliberately using them for a jarring and inappropriate effect. And sometimes it hit right, but sometimes it didn't do it for me. I'm oversensitive to language, though- heck, I invented an entire goddess for one setting so I wouldn't have to use 'modern' trans language in a setting where it doesn't belong!- and it probably won't bug most people.
Overall, I really enjoyed the time I spent with THE VICAR MAN- I'd recommend it if you like funny historical fantasy, if you'd enjoy reading a sendup of Gothic romances and folk horror, or if you like the idea of an aro/ace unromance novel. I'd especially recommend it if you like The Misadventures of Sawbones and Its Menagerie- the narrator, Dora, has a very similar narrative voice. They share that 'outwardly quiet and polite, but with a constant snarky inner monologue' energy.
Strong recommend, and thanks to the author for the review copy!

“Where’s your buddies Gambit?”
Cyclops states, sounding firmly done with him. Which isn't fair. Gambit has not had the chance to be annoying yet. And Gambit is the sacrificial lamb here. Stuck going on mission with two ferals!!
“Not sure. Monsieur Chat makes his own schedule.”
He hikes his lone bag a little higher with a shrug. He can feel the stares of the other teens.
Ah.
They had never seen him out of his armor. Well. this mission required a lot of public interaction between heists. His armor is safely packed away with his small assortment of clothes in his bag. For now, his jeans, boots, and three layers of jackets to fight the cold would need to be enough.
Let them stare all they like. They'd not get another chance for a while.
“Just like Creed to be late.”
Wolverine snarls angrily while rechecking over the van, presumably out of habit.

official fortuneravine oc post
so you guys actually know who i'm talking about!! wahoo!!!!
Team Campfire - Fig (cyndaquil, she/any) + Chive (chikorita, she/her)
fig: not much of a talker, it's hard to get a read on her. her shyness gets read as being cool and mysterious, which she's fine with. content with her pokemon form, but takes a long time to get comfortable in it. has accidentally set more than a few things on fire
chive: much more outgoing than her partner, she does most of the talking for the team. very passionate about food and cooking, she hopes to open a cafe one day. always experimenting with random nuts and berries, with a little help from fig's flames
Team Obsidian - Mistral (totodile, she/they) + Cinder (vulpix, she/they)
mistral: seemingly has absolutely no sense of danger of self preservation, she's reckless and hardly ever thinks things through. scares the shit out of cinder on a daily basis by doing something stupid. a bit of a self-sacrificial idiot, they get it from grovyle
cinder: anxiety incarnate. absolute wet cat of a fox. she's wanted to be an explorer her whole life, but getting badly injured in a dungeon scared her away from it for a long time. much more calm and confident nowadays, getting dragged into dangerous situations by a certain gator forced her to get over a lot of her fears
Team Hydra - Ceru (oshawott, she/xe) + Olivine (axew, he/they)
ceru: the funny one. you may know her from my critically acclaimed shitposts. xe's the oshknwott that works at subway. didn't have a whole lot going for xem as a human, she's much happier with her life as a pokemon
olivine: ollie to his friends. absolute guy. kind to a fault. he loves to feel useful and help other pokemon, to the point they forgets to look after themself. loves his friends and will fight anyone who is mean to them
The Rapids- Mistral (totodile, she/they) + Basil (riolu, they/them)
mistral: yeah the same guy from team obsidian. don't ask me how that works in lore, i don't know. this version is a bit younger
basil: let's hear it for kids with Problems!!!! they're around 12 years old, with all the accompanying issues that come with being around 12 years old. they tend to come off as overly enthusiastic or annoying, they really struggled to make friends until mist came along. they put on a brave face, but they've got hella insecurities
#been meaning to make a post like this for awhile. here it is#(oc) fig#(oc) chive#(oc) mistral#(oc) cinder#(oc) ceru#(oc) olivine#(oc) basil

Thinking about Mat and Tuon again. So something I’ve been considering lately is how the thing about Mat that Tuon seems to like the most is surprisingly his “softness”. So Tuon clearly likes how Mat can be cold and calculating even a little cruel when it comes to battling enemies, no mercy, the whole Lion on the high plains thing. This is an upbringing thing, what she expects from her consort, competency and a little cruelty that is necessary to what needs to be done. However, it’s impossible to ignore how endeared she is by the more, Two Rivers, aspect of Mat. His hang ups on killing women, his gentleness towards her physically, his embarrassment and shyness around public displays of intimacy, his in her view naive views on love and marriage, his just generally caring and self sacrificial personality even though he tries to hide it. She finds those aspects even more appealing to her than his capability for violence, because his kindness is New and Different to her. Seanchen culture does not promote the type of vulnerability Mat so innately shows. Like when he claimed to have snuck into the damane kennels to give one of the wind finders sweets because she did him a favor before, and while that was a lie, it’s unclear whether Tuon realizes it. The way she praises him for it reveals this almost affectionate side of her, to her it’s like seeing a cute boy feed a stray cat and give it little scratches behind the ears. It’s cute to her that he’s so kind towards damane, his shock and confusion over her telling him not to do so again because others may get the wrong idea only adds to her amusement, because Mat hadn’t even considered the possibility that someone could think he was there for unsavory purposes. Him letting a poisonous snake go, his shyness over her telling him to kiss her in front the Band, and again when she starts to strip in the garden after they reunited. And listen, while she obviously likes him capable, you can’t tell me that Tuon “likes lowering his eyes” Paendrag DOESNT like him at least a little wet and pathetic.

Since it’s taking me like 10 million years to draw Preble’s Boys as animals, here’s the list that I’ll eventually get to.
The Man himself Edward Preble: Polar bear Isaac Hull: Otter (originally Winnie the Pooh for cuddly reasons) Jacob Jones: Barn owl (he gives me the Owl from Winnie the Pooh vibes; intelligent and friendly but dude is literally in his own world) Stephen Decatur: American Water Spaniel (the goodest boi in the whole damn American Navy!) William Bainbridge: Persian cat (pathetic wet cat syndrome) James Lawrence: Sacrificial lamb from the Chesapeake lmao! Isaac Chauncey: Beaver (He’s a builder) David Porter: Wolverine (bro just wants to fight somebody!) William Burrows: Porcupine (he’s a bit touchy….) Lewis Warrington: Mr. Peacock Man James Biddle: Mink (don’t touch his mink fur coat people!) Charles Stewart: Fennce fox (I thought he was a redhead this whole time but guess not? Also he’s a bit sly) Thomas Macdonough: Northern Cardinal (absolutely for religious reasons) Daniel Todd Patterson: Chipmunk (adorable and resourceful)
Major side characters under cut
John Rodgers: Wild cat (Edward Preble’s rival)
James Barron: White tailed deer (Stephen Decatur’s complicated Virginian acquaintance. Look up the scientific name)
Oliver Hazard Perry: Osprey (let’s face it, a cool bird of prey)
Samuel Evans: Fruit bat (don’t believe them when they say Evans was bat shit crazy)
Johnston Blakeley: Magpie (I originally thought he was a “Preble’s Boy” but found out he never served with Preble but with Rodgers.)
William M. Crane: You guessed it (Lewis Warrington’s mildly annoying brother in law. A Preble’s Boy but for a crane symbolizing good fortune, bro has the opposite of that.)
Washington Irving: Coyote (David Porter’s smart ass bestie)
Charles Morris: Iguana (not a cold blooded reptile; just observant and no nonsense)
Richard Somers: Poodle (there was puppy love once upon a time)
John and Robert Henley: Eagles solely for “The Eagles” joke (Don Henley) “Preble’s Boys” and Martha Washington’s nephews. *I’m convinced they knew Lewis Warrington since all three grew up in Williamsburg VA. HC all three attended William and Mary together but the brothers aren’t exactly friends with Warrington; more like coldly polite. Lewis Warrington had somewhat of a rough time growing up since his mother wasn’t married when she had him and the townspeople looked down on her even before him.*

TENTA BRO, HOLY SHIT.
I JUST READ UR LITTLE THING ANOUT ARTHUR AND-
😻😻
I don’t think I’ve ever been in love with a piece of literature more in my life 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Deff think of ur boys that Arthur is my favorite ❤️
-A very very supper impressed squid bro 🦑
I'm glad you like it. I've been in an Arthur mood recently. He's my most sad pathetic boy for sure. And I really love him and Hanna's dynamic(obviously, cuz I wrote it lol). I made him literally solely to fall for a cult, he's perfect to bully and massively quick to fall in love. Of course, any of them would do literally anything for you(sans main Ipomea) but Arthur will be the most enthusiastic about it. He's the favorite sacrificial lamb, sweet blood and so easy to restrain, he wouldn't dare to fight. sad wet cat of a man(which is why i had to write about HIS sad wet cat ;> )
^this is literally him.

So Long, Sumac by Del Blauschild
Hey loyal readers! This is the last time you'll hear from me for at least a little while. Sumac's tourism board is taking a break while we sort a few things out. We're not an official newspaper and we could get in trouble for running our mouths (and pens), so here are a few things we WON'T be making a statement on:
The hip fragment found in Candor Lake. Pulled from the waters by my very own upstairs neighbor during a midnight constitutional-slash-communion-with-the-spirits-of-the-departed, the fragment was confirmed to belong to former tourism writer Pat Davies. The tourism board has no official stance on the rumors that the wife of our town's mayor was seen with him the night he disappeared, or on her own recent disappearance. Rest in peace Pat.
The mayor's sudden collapse and death last night. Listen, it's called "unexplainable" for a reason. Why would I (or the ghost who's been gone from my apartment since my last post) know anything about that?
The shutdown of the lakefront. We know as much as you do: no drinking or bathing until further notice.
And here are a few things I WILL be commenting on!
Acacia. A few nights ago she followed Aiden home and refused to leave. We guess he has a cat now. Even fully dosed on Benadryl it's a little hard to spend quality time with her, but she likes being read to. So that's a start.
My new job. I never thought I would end up using my econ degree, but Bryn told me they could use an office manager up at the ranger station. To keep the park's books, schedule some programming, and write copy for educational materials. It's so far from where I saw myself at 18, it could be another planet. But I'm excited. And I'm happy to keep writing.
My neighbor's muffin recipe. When I came home to find a handwritten note tied up in a lock of blond hair and stuck to the door with a pin I swore I've seen the mayor's wife wear, my heart dropped. But when I unrolled it, I recognized the directions to make the muffins my upstairs neighbor gave me on my first day here.
~Darla's muffin recipe~
2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup oil, 1 egg, 1 1/2 cup mulberries, 1 tsp tears shed for a lost loved one.
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin tin with muffin papers. Carve the name of your loved one into a candle and light it.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt while chanting the Litany of Grief. Continue to chant while mixing milk, sugar, egg, and oil. Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk together.
Gently fold in the mulberries.
Scream at the moon.
Transfer the batter to the prepared tin. Sprinkle each muffin with brown sugar and a few extra berries.
Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes, or until a sacrificial dagger inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve. Allow the past to remain where it lies. Honor your grief, then put it to rest and walk boldly into the future with its valuable wisdom in your heart. Can be stored in an airtight container for 1-3 days room temp or 1-2 months in the freezer.

15 Day BL Challenge - DAY 56
Hi =)
Most Badass BL Character
A few out there. I chose these 2:
Jack (Jack & Joker) & Kim (Kinnporsche)
Nothing like a guy with martial arts skills and a brave heart, am I right? Jack is strong and he's enduring, and he's kind and he's self-sacrificial and a little unhinged too. He's got everything but most especially the psychological abuse and the blood on his face and his hands. Plus he kissed a guy when he thought they were both gonna blow up. 10/10
And I do hear you say "but Dante, Kim is a wet cat!" and, look, I agree, he is very much a sad, wet cat that can barely open his eyes but ppl contain multitudes, darling, being a sad wet cat is not mutually exclusive with being badass. He kills ppl, he sacrifices everything good in his life for control and a fake sense of safety and he wears leather jackets. Badass. Period.

🐺🪽🐧
🐺: I’ve always thought about making an entire lineup of Connors. Just a whole connery team
McDavid, bedard, dewar
Murphy, Clifton
Hellebuyck
Not saying it would necessarily be a GOOD team overall but it would be funny !!
Would also love to make a team of Ilyas but I don’t know if there are quite enough of them in the NHL to do full Ilya
🪽: sacrifice to the gods: Calen Addison, face it, he’s gods perfect little sacrificial lamb and he would face his fate with the same sad wet cat eyes as always. Do hard crimes with: it depends on the crime?? I think I’d do a Jason Bourne style spy infiltration with slafkovsky and a matrix style guns blazing with Marchand. Put that man in a leather trench coat STAT. Save the world with: duhaime because he’d be insufferable about it and that’s kinda hilarious
🐧: I am short on cool rocks that are available for photography right now FUCK!! but imagine if you will a rock that anabella brought me from mexico that has a little cave painting deer on it, it has a great handfeel and rockweight and I treasure it

How are Xarrai and Ieriyn around animals? Are they animal lovers, or do they prefer to keep their distance? Are there any exceptions to the rule?
Bonus question: What animal do you think best represents each of them?
xarrai likes cats well enough but not great with dogs - the cult compound they grew up in didn’t have any animals around, and they’ve lived in baldur’s gate since then where dogs aren’t allowed. they have a soft spot for pathetic little animals tbh, they’ve definitely picked up a sad wet kitten and tried to convince the owner of whichever tavern they were playing in that night to keep it. they adore scratch and the owlbear cub and is happy to sleep curled up between them (and considers kicking astarion out of their bedroll in favor of them tbh. astarion is cold and not at all fluffy.) i think they pick up speak with animals during the game for the same reason they learn speak with dead (or at least wear an amulet that lets them use it) - it’s a good way to gather information. i could see them and astarion getting a cat post-game, some sad scraggly white thing xar finds in the street and brings home bc they’re just sooo smitten. they’re not like a huge animal person overall though, like, they’re not someone who stops to watch wildlife on the road or someone who feels like they Need a pet to be happy or anything.
ieriyn’s house always had a couple of cats in it when he was growing up and he’s always been really fond of them! he loves birds and dogs, too. his favorite part of hunting trips was always getting to see the hunting dogs at work - he’s a terrible shot anyway so he never really brought down much game. he’s deffffinitely a cat person but i could see him bringing scratch with him when he and gale go to waterdeep post game (assuming he can convince tara lol otherwise i think he would make halsin take scratch to reithwin and send letters asking for updates often.) ieriyn would feel weird ever living somewhere without a cat honestly. he and gale and tara spend many an evening curled up in front of the fire reading :)
in terms of animals that represent them, that’s hard! xarrai has a few tbh. i use a lot of wolf in sheep’s clothing metaphors with them so i do kinda associate them with wolves but at the same time i also associate them with sacrificial lambs lol. AND with like. big cats/wild cats in general. and also snakes. but none of those are like, super strong associations? idk what would represent them best….
ieriyn is um… something small and unassuming that can and will fuck up your day if you’re not careful… like a sand cat??????

like look at this thing. it’s so small and cute. but it’s also a very deadly predator. i’m sure there’s a better animal comparison i could make for him but now i’m just thinking about how much i love sand cats……. so cute
