#what even /is/ gatito; really

[weebsinstash]

consider; multiverse shenanigans with a spider!reader where they make some offhand comment about how their heat/rut is coming up soon and they'll need some volunteers to cover patrols while they're down and half the society is like 'o damn that sucks, yeah i can swing a tuesday' and the other half is like 'your WHAT is coming up???'

and it turns out that a decent chunk of the multiverse has no idea what a/b/o orientations even are and it somehow just got totally lost in translation until that very second that this was a thing. what do you mean omega???? what the fuck do you mean you just thought i was a really boring smelling beta?????????? y'all motherfuckers are SNIFFING PEOPLE?!?!?!?!

now consider a miguel that is not from an a/b/o verse hearing about this and doing a little research to figure out exactly what a heat/rut is and just getting sucked down a rabbit hole and going feral for the idea that you're going to be in a highly suggestible and vulnerable state for nearly a WEEK and he's going to miss it!!! he didn't get invited!!!! what the fuck!!! the man spends a solid 48 hrs immersed in really bad multiversal porn and comes out the other end hungover and weeping that he nearly missed out on this

so he takes it upon himself to do a little rearranging, some scheduling, some scheming, and lo and behold you find yourself stuck in this crappy half-built nest in nueva york with miguel, who has no real idea how he's supposed to actually perform for you while ur like this and is just making it up as he goes- and totally ignoring the cultural and consent issues he's digging up doing this bc its biology right? so its fine? people in ur universe do this all the time, he has no idea why ur complaining just let him help u out jeez-

Some rando Spiderperson intending to be transphobic: --and they want us to accept everyone as whatever they say they wanna be now, as if men can get pregnant!

Reader, without skipping a beat: what the actual fuck are you talking about, my father carried me and my siblings for 6 months

Miguel is just starting to know you and is actively trying to learn more about you and one day you just, I dunno, you two do a mission together and he gives you praise and you just look at him with a big smile 😊 and your ass straight up PURRS for a few moments and he's just like 🥺❤️ gatito... ❤️

The man sees you talking to Jess and Peter B one day and O'Hara is watching from a distance because he's, awkward and not sure how to approach you, and suddenly his super hearing can pick up someone in the room talking idly about you, or even explaining ABO stuff to another person. "Yeah, see em over there, holding Peter Bs kid? Those Omega always have nurturing instincts. It's cause they're wired to spit out tons of babies. They're the breeders. They even have natutal pheromones to calm down their mates and friends and children" and suddenly Miguel's ears are burning "youre tellin me my darling might wants lots of little babies running around? Fantastic."

Mexican/Irish and also Catholic Miguel who wants one of those STUPID HUGE families where people have at least 6 kids and it's like "oh a typical Omega pregnancy usually has at least two or three babies in one go and theyre shorter than normal human pregnancies huh? Interesting :)"

Some members of the Spider Society are like "why is Miguel kind of lowkey being a dick to me all the time now" oh well its very simple you see, Miguel read your file and found out you're an Alpha and you share this weird connection and also natural biological attraction to HIS lil honeybee and He Hates You Now. Fuck off out his house and don't let him see you talking to his baby or else

He gets really close to you one day, I mean like physically, or hey maybe emotionally too, and he's hugging you and he gets a whiff of your scent and it's something he can't even describe, something that has a carnal biological effect on his where he just wants to keep holding you and hearing your voice like a drug, like it's oxytocin on crack, and suddenly in true scientist fashion he's researching you, your universe, its history, its medicine, its culture.

Can't help but imagine a Miguel who goes full yandere and gives no fucks about doing what he wants for darling and splices his DNA with Alpha DNA so he can officially claim you as a mate, scenting, knotting, and everything. Lyla gives you instructions to meet him in a specific place and it turns out he's been experimenting on himself and he's deep in a rut and suddenly your knees are getting pushed into your chest and you're getting passionately knotted and filled up by a grunting growling purring Miguel who's leaving love bites and kisses all over your skin, just, his size alone would make him hard to get away from, you don't even need to add Alpha instincts and being able to track your pheromones on top of that 😳

Miguel "just let me 'help you as a friend'" O'Hara who tracked when your next heat was going to kick in and maybe even drugged you so it comes at a specific time and he makes it where the two of you are together or even trapped or something when it happens and, here he is, "oh just let me help you, isn't it hurting" but like. We all know it's because he wants to. Like could you even imagine he's, you know, using his fingers and he goes to remove his pants or free himself or whatever and you're just like "no I'll get pregnant" and he just kind of has a Microsoft error window in his brain because it's like. Oh you'll get almost DEFINITELY pregnant? Guaranteed? You're trying to tell the man you dont want to and instead at least internally he's like "promise? 👉👈"

Husk rescuing Angel from Valentino or pretty much any danger in general is still my favorite —incredibly common but still favorite— huskerdust trope. Especially, him (whether in comics or in fanfics) carrying Angel in his arms and flying to safety —Aaaah! 🥺 That’s a whole fluffy dessert for me!

I try to find and read every fanfic and comic I see (AU or canon-divergent), especially the ones where Husk wins Angel’s contract from Valentino.

I know Angel Dust shouldn’t be subjected to being a damsel in distress, because there is more to his character. But, like… come on. While the sweet thing doesn’t really need protection, he needs to feel and know somebody will do it anyway.

Ofc, this is just my craving in fanworks.

As for canon and what I actually want to see happen in the show, to get Angel free from his contract:

1.) Angel shoots/stabs/etc. Val from the fucking front (with some slight hesitance because he technically ruined his clean-streak for doing it).

Oooor, what I like better, bc it involves Huskerdust:

2.) Husk invites both Angel and Valentino somewhere private, to make a bet through poker.

Husk: “One round of poker. You lose, Angel’s soul no longer belongs to you. You win, you get to keep his contract.”

Angel panics and tries to knock some sense into Husk, even though Valentino is disinterested in the whole thing and was going to say no anyway, but plot twist ——>

Angel: “Do I have to slap the fucking White Knight Syndrome outta ya!? I told ya, ya crazy motherfucker! I can handle myself!”

Husk: *smiles* “I know.” *hands Angel his the deck of cards* “Which is why I’m letting you, handle this. Go win your soul back, Legs.”

Angel: *shocked* “B-But that’s even worse! I only beat you, like… once in this game!”

Husk: “And you only need to beat Valentino once too. I know you can do it. But, if you think you can’t, well….” *smirks* “That’s why I’m here.”

Angel: “What do you mean…?”

Husk: “Since you suck at valuing yourself so much, I thought of giving you a better motivation to work with.”

Angel: “Better motivation…?”

Husk: *turns to Valentino* “There’s more; if you win, you not only get to keep Angel, but you get to have my soul too.”

Angel: “HUSK!”

Valentino: “HA! And why would I want the soul of a old rundown alley cat?”

Husk: “My soul is owned by Alastor. Imagine what Vox would think, about the idea of Alastor losing one of his souls to you.”

Angel: “Does Smiles know about this deal yer makin’ right now!?”

Husk: “Yes, he does. And he agreed to it.”

Valentino: *still disinterested* “Not convinced, gatito. You’re still not rubbing me the right way~”

Husk: “I’m not done. I’m not like any other soul, he owns.”

Valentino: “Mmhmm…”

Husk: “I have some information on why he disappeared for seven years. Not the complete context, but it’s still a big secret he definitely wouldn’t want any other overlords to find out about.”

Valentino: “Oh? Well, now that’s interesting. Voxxy would be pleased to hear anything about the radio demon.”

Angel: “Okay, does Smiles know about THAT!?”

Husk: “Hm? Nope. I’m completely fucked if he finds out I told the Vees what I know. He’ll definitely tear my soul apart and broadcast my screams longer than anyone else’s….”

Valentino: “I take it you want protection?”

Husk: “No. Not necessary. If my soul gets handed off to you, and I give you the needed information, you’re not obliged to protect me.”

Valentino: “Now you’re talking my language, gatito~ Game on. Come Angel! Prepare to lose your little boyfriend over here.”

Angel: *ignores Val and grabs Husk by the shoulders* “Husk! We’re leaving now! I don’t want anything horrible to happen to you!”

Husk: “And nothing will happen to me. I know you can do this. Or…. Am I being too full of myself to think you’d give your all for me?”

Angel: “Wh-What…?”

Husk: “I get it. We may be getting used to each other, but I’m not all that important enough to you!”

Angel: “Bullshit!” *grabs him by the suspenders* “You go through so much for my sake! What makes you think I won’t do the same!? I’d go through this hell twice, just to repay all the times you had to deal with me!”

Husk: *smiles softly and places a hand on his cheek* “Then go win this game, Legs.”

(Basically, instead of rescuing Angel himself, Husk tricks Angel into finally getting out of his contract, by putting his own life on the line).

[baki-tiene-un-simp]

Hey,I have another request for you :)

Could you please kame baki, katsumi, musashi, retsu and mumon with an S/O being harassed by someone (it could be in any way, shape and form, you decid wich one you are confortable wiht) and then being comforted by them, if not, could you do with the same character a scenario where they were catcalled in public because of their curves like for example some dude saying "good ass gatito ;)" in a amusement park.

Take your time with this and do it olny if you want

Have a good day/evening/afternoon/night :)

I’ve already written several things about "S/O being harassed", so I’ll go for the other option

Situation: Strangers catcalled to their S/O / un extraño le grita cosas en la calle a su S/O.

Characters: Baki Hanma, Katsumi Orochi, Mumon Katsuragi, Musashi Miyamoto and Retsu Kaioh.

Baki Hanma.

Baki turns to face the strange person who addressed his S/O, his face calm, but with a strange look.

He approaches the subject with his hands in his pockets, facing him when they were face to face with each other. His S/O came after Baki to prevent something very serious from happening.

"That was rude, don't you think?"

His gaze is the warning at this moment, although his words were calm, the image left by the Hanma was intimidating.

His S/O got an apology and the other person a nightmare picture just for a comment.

Katsumi Orochi.

Katsumi listens to what his S/O was told with a grimace, his face making it clear how that comment annoyed him.

He turns to look at his S/O just to make sure they're not too affected by it, he holds his hand as a silent comforter to soothe their annoyance/discomfort.

He will get an apology for his partner, he tries to take it easy when he talks to the person so they know he is waiting for them to understand what they have done.

However, he doesn't care about the person getting difficult, if he has to bring the person in front of his S/O and make them bow down, well he'll do it.

They will go on their way with Katsumi grumbling that they were so rude to the his dear S/O and how they don't deserve something like that.

Mumon Katsuragi.

"People can be so rude," he mentions to his S/O when he hears the person laugh at his own comment.

According to how his S/O reacts, so will he react. If they let them through, Mumon will make them forget about it; If, on the contrary, his S/O gets angry, then Mumon will go to stand up for his partner.

If he feels merciful, he will just annoy the other person with silly comments just like that person did with his S/O. Bonus points if he gets an S/O laugh out of him in the process.

If he wants to deal with it faster and nonchalantly, Mumon could "put" that rude person to sleep. You know what I mean.

He returns with his S/O so they can continue their ride together.

Musashi Miyamoto.

The person who yelled at his S/O could recoil just from Musashi's gaze, and really, Musashi doesn't need to have an angry expression, it's just that his eyes are… Intriguing.

He will be intimidating them without trying, "what did you say to them?" Those words sound normal, however, the swordsman's big eyes and social awkwardness make it seem like a threat.

He cocks his head when the person hastily apologizes to his S/O, he doesn't fully understand but stands by and just lets it happen.

He'll probably ask his S/O as soon as they're left alone.

He is now attentive to the comments of others towards his S/O, he can misjudge some occasions when someone tries to be nice to his partner, but at least he prevents nasty comments from going unpunished. I do not promise that it will be peaceful.

Retsu Kaioh.

He pouts, does anyone really think that saying that kind of thing will get anything done?

He thinks they are extremely rude and if his S/O complains he will make the person apologize to them. He would actually force them to bow down and apologize for making his mate uncomfortable.

He might also scold you with something like "you should think before you speak, much more before you blurt out a comment like that."

He asks his S/O if they're okay, if the comment made them feel bad or offended.

He believes that kind of behavior is repulsive directed towards anyone, but especially if it's directed towards his S/O.

Versión en español.

Baki Hanma.

Baki se voltea para encarar a la persona extraña que se dirigió a su S/O, su rostro calmado, pero con una mirada extraña.

Se acerca al sujeto con las manos en los bolsillos, encarándolo cuando estuvieron frente a frente el uno del otro. Su S/O vino detrás de Baki para evitar que algo muy grave pase.

"Eso fue grosero, ¿no crees?"

Su mirada es la advertencia en este momento aunque sus palabras fueran calmadas, la imagen que dejaba el Hanma era intimidante.

Su S/O consiguió una disculpa y la otra persona una imagen de pesadilla solo por un comentario.

Katsumi Orochi.

Katsumi escucha lo que le dijeron a su S/O con una mueca, su rostro deja en evidencia como ese comentario le molesto.

Se voltea a ver a su S/O solo para asegurarse que no esté demasiado afectado por ello, sostiene su mano como un consuelo silencioso para consolar su molestia/incomodidad.

Conseguirá una disculpa para su pareja, trata de tomarlo con calma cuando habla con la persona para que sepa que está esperando que entienda lo que ha hecho.

Sin embargo, no le preocupa que la persona se ponga difícil, si tiene que traer a la persona frente a su S/O y hacer que se inclinen, pues lo hará.

Seguirán su camino con Katsumi refunfuñando porque fueron tan groseros con su querido S/O y como no se merecen algo como eso.

Mumon Katsuragi.

"Las personas pueden ser tan groseras" menciona para su S/O cuando escucha a la persona reírse de su propio comentario.

De acuerdo a como su S/O reacciona, igualmente él reaccionara. Si lo dejan pasar, Mumon hará que se olvide de ello; si por el contrario, su S/O se enoja, entonces Mumon ira a dar la cara por su pareja.

Si se siente misericordioso solo molestara a la otra persona con comentarios tontos al igual que lo hizo esa persona con su S/O. Puntos extras si le saca una risa a su S/O en el proceso.

Si quiere lidiar con ello más rápido y despreocupadamente, Mumon podría "poner a dormir" a esa grosera persona. Saben lo que quiero decir.

Regresa con su S/O para que puedan continuar con su paseo juntos.

Musashi Miyamoto.

La persona que le grito a su S/O podría retroceder solo con la mirada de Musashi, y realmente, Musashi no necesita tener una expresión de enojo, es solo que sus ojos son… Intrigantes.

Los estará intimidando sin intentarlo, "¿qué le has dicho?" esas palabras suena normales, sin embargo, los ojos tan grandes del espadachín y su torpeza social hacen que parezca una amenaza.

Ladea la cabeza cuando la persona se disculpa apresurada ante su S/O, no comprende completamente, pero se queda al margen y solo deja que pase.

Probablemente le pregunte a su S/O tan pronto se queden solos.

Está atento ahora ante los comentarios de los demás hacia su S/O, puede juzgar mal algunas ocasiones cuando alguien trata de ser amable con su pareja, pero al menos impide que los comentarios desagradables se queden impunes. No prometo que sea pacíficamente.

Retsu Kaioh.

Él hace mala cara, ¿realmente alguien cree que con decir esa clase de cosas conseguirá algo?

Cree que es extremadamente grosero y si su S/O se queja hará que la persona se disculpe con ellos. Realmente lo obligaría a inclinarse y pedir una disculpas por hacer sentir incómodo a su pareja.

También podría regañarlo con algo como "deberías pensar antes de hablar, mucho más antes de soltar un comentario como ese".

Le pregunta a su S/O si está bien, si el comentario les hizo sentir mal u ofendidos.

Cree que ese tipo de comportamiento es repulsivo dirigido hacia cualquiera, pero especialmente si es dirigido hacia su S/O.

vack om my trollhumters vullshit

i love you varvara never change. those horns sure are for his deceit.

steve calling coach his dad and them havimg to correct himself. i love them. THEM ARE COVERING FOR THEIR FAMILY-MESS AT SVHOOL

GET THEY ASS UHL

they really are terrible students huh.

MO STEVE!!!!!

honestly, this whole episode is nearly indistinguishable from like. a regular teacher breakdown. rip to everyone with those stories about purple flyimg momky.

"emotionally commect with him" sticktler the MVP I guess? for at least giving them advice instead of going "a cat?? rip to you buddy better put that thing down."

mrs. jameth that's mot good for your digestive system.

MO SMR UHL MO

"a pep talk from your favorite student?" mot for long eli. just wait until krel gets here.

Smr. uhl honestly the scarriest here. turms into somic. "gatito" ... the meowing.

oh fuck you strickler.

weird-ass relationship there tho. that's fun. i omce saw you as a father but you've betrayed me and threatened the ome we both love dearly. etc etc

.

Jim thimgs that are funny to me amd I hope they never chamge:

1 - imsecure avout skimmy legs.

2 - mervous around claire when mot im immediate danger - impulsive spanish

"girls domt pee. they conspire!"

jim you are failing so hard. you're lucky you're both such nerds.

DOUXIE!!! my little sopping wet meow meow loser.

RULE THREE!!! *comfetti* love me some rule three.

love that this is the same bathroom set from the museum. yaas team keep recycling those sets so you cam put more energy into other things. like all those fire effects. jesus.

loving morgamma. keep being absolutely unhinged. also the voice effects are cool.

*tries to stab jim with a butter knife* "she's flirting with you"

"begome servant" > *the distinct sound of 1000 years of douxie servitude immediately clicking into place*

its also interesting to see how these people have changed from the past im wizards to mow. even if they didn't plan on having Morgana be a pretty normal person in the past like. i can see how being imprisoned for that long would drive you insane. how you'd completely lose your shit, try to kill a guy with a butterknife, and them down a raw steak im negative 2 seconds.

jim only hitting morlaire in the face with pillows while motemrique has no qualms about knocking her out cold. that's the sibling effect right there.

claire gravs motemrique by the scruff: *vaguely annoyed*

morgama does it: *kills her with cast iron pam*

kmowimg what I do about merlim. i get it. guy sucks. i would absolutely want to destroy everythim he's ever touched too. sorry yall ever met him.

also I like that while they do have a light/dark good/evil thing going om it's not that dark magic is vad necessarily. vlimky defimetly doesmt think much of dark magic. its just the connection between claire amd morgama is able to ve exploited by morgama, who is looking out for her own self-interest.

it happens again amd again but im always somehow surprised when trollhumters says: good amd vad are subjective. what really matters is if you can look out for the people you care about amd hold your values. something like that. im sure I could say something more coherent about it later. im multi-taskimg.

Leon placed a hand on Luis’s shoulder.

“You’re up.” Leon said softly. His voice was tired but he noticed his love’s distress and spoke with gentle words.

“I had a nightmare.” Luis responded tartly.

“You did?” Luis revealed the small kitten in his arms. The small baby tussled with Luis’s hair. Even the happy baby couldn’t snap Luis out of his somber mood.

“When I left Valdelobos I- I- ¿Como de dice molesta?”

“Uhh annoying?”

“Mmm.” Luis shifted positions. “Well I had hate for Catholicism. I rejected the church and sinned.”

“Sinned? What did you do?” Leon bought into what he assumed was what he was supposed to ask but instead Luis shot him down.

“Actions I regret. I wore Catholic jewelry as a decoration y nada mas. When I returned to Valdelobos my home was taken over. I had to help but instead I participated in a bad organization. All the nights I paid for Saint-”

“Prayed.” Leon corrected.

“I prayed for Saint Michael. For Saint Michael to save us. To save my village.” Luis sighed. “God saved me and my friends. I prayed to Saint Francis Leon, I prayed and now this baby is the last. I really prayed the orange baby would live. Oré mucho a Dios y a sus santos y aún así no me escucharon. ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué tienen que morir? ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? Solo quiero estos gatitos vivos.”

“God never listens to prayers.”

“Or Francis is taking care of my babies in heaven. He led them to past the curly gates.”

“Pearly.”

“Pearly Gates. I’m tired baby. Let’s sleep.” Leon kissed Luis’s forehead. “I love you.”

“Te amo.” Leon pulled Luis in close.

"Equipment stats tied to clothes are an in-universe thing that characters are at least loosely aware of, even if they don't understand it mechanically the way we do" is the TWEWY headcanon I will die for because you can get SO MUCH out of it. Like, for humor, if you want to treat any given character as actually dressing in the completely uncoordinated equipment you've put them in for stats, it's very easy to do it with "yeah, they know these clothes make them stronger somehow and they decided to put that above 'not looking ridiculous'." Fun as hell. But it's also really interesting when you think about it with Shiki, especially in the context of Neo and Gatto Nero as the replacement brand for Gatito.

Gatto Nero is a really interesting brand mechanically for two reasons. The first, obvious one is how it's the mechanical successor to Gatito, not just filling the same zodiac role - both brands’ pins come exclusively in sets. Gatito's the only brand that uses sets in the original DS version, along with the unbranded Crimson Kingdoms set added in Final Remix. In Neo, quite a few other brands make two-pin sets, but the only bigger ensembles are the Unbranded Stop and Go ensemble and Gatto Nero's Year-round and Black Cat sets. This is something we can just assume characters know and understand by default - pins are special, pin sets are super strong and good.

The second is less obvious: Gatto Nero has a LOT of items that have character-specific abilities, relative to the other brands. There are obvious reasons why Shoka and Neku both have items there (and Rindo and Minamimoto both have aesthetics that fit well with the brand,) but it's still interesting. Adding up all of Gatto Nero's items, eight out of nineteen are character-specific, or about 42%. The second is Hog Fang, with seven out of twenty three items, and third is Monocrow with five of seventeen, both just under a third. Other brands have three, maybe four character-specific items. It suggests Gatto Nero’s a brand where the people who like it LOVE it, and connect hard to specific pieces in particular. (Just look at Shoka’s love of her hoodie.)

So. Taking my headcanon that the characters know clothes have power, I don't think they'd recognize it the same way the players do, with numbers and stats and knowing various status effects. But they could in-universe notice something like HP Drain, and they might recognize "oh I never get stunned when I'm wearing this," or "this feels like attacks hurt less," or "it seems easier to sync in this for whatever reason." I also think they'd notice when something they like seems to work better on them than their Partner, especially when Neku played for three weeks with three different people and could compare.

In other words, the aspiring fashion designer could realize that clothes that people LOVE, things they connect to specifically and deeply, would be particularly valuable in the UG. And I can’t imagine Shiki wouldn’t keep that knowledge in mind while designing once she gets back, and try to impress that knowledge on Eri, because “the thing I love and want to do with my life is psychically vital to people fighting to come back to life in a purgatorial death game” is uh. Probably the most validating thing one could ever learn about their chosen vocation. This is something she’d probably be thinking about no matter what.

And then A New Day happens. For most of the time between games, one of Shiki’s most important people is missing, and they have no idea where Neku is beyond "probably the UG." But maybe she can still help him, if her clothes can get his way. Maybe, if she tries to make pins that are especially useful to him, he’ll find them. (This also gives an easy way for Shiki and Joshua to know each other come Neo if you like that headcanon - Shiki doesn't have any special knowledge of pins, Joshua as Composer has to know at least a few things about how they work. Cue grudging alliance-turned-eventual-friendship as Shiki grits her teeth and asks him for help for Neku's sake.)

There's just SO MUCH room to play with the game's equipment system being something that characters know about and try to work with in-universe, especially with Shiki.

Franky: Your sister's afraid of heights?

Cody: No, just giant wheels.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bob: For years, we made fun of Meggy for saying she wants a vacuum cleaner every year, but we finally got her a nice Dyson and you know what? She's walking around, vacuuming every room, muttering "this is a game changer." Say what you will, but the girl knows what she wants.

Bob: Mario and Tari would always insist "no no no, we have to get her stuff she'll actually enjoy" and this is frankly humiliating for them. She just discovered the max suction setting and she's happier than she was when she won Splatfest.

Mr. L, doing routine maintenance on Brobot and Reboot Saiko: Health must come first, or else evil can't prosper!

Louie: I've learned some very valuable lessons from this.

SMG32: I'm guessing they're all horrible distortions of the lessons you should've learned.

Louie: Death isn't real and I'm basically God.

Miku: Yesterday I overheard Ash saying "are you sure this is a good idea?" and Pikachu replying "trust me," and I have never moved from one end of a campsite to the other so quickly in my life.

Computer: choose a password

SMG3: "SMG4"

Computer: your password is too weak

SMG3: *shrugs* Yeah, fair enough.

Shantae: Okay, I could only afford to get you a kiddie meal, so don't let them know you're over eight.

Tulip: ...Mayor Scuttlebutt really needs to start paying you more.

Meggy: Of course I have a lot of pent-up rage I've been the same height since I was 14.

Database, internally and only internally, after ClearAll gets driven away and the God Box is created: Before anyone asks, YES, we did ruin everything with our hubris.

(I figure that even though they still hate Duck, Database does at least now understand how important his role is, and that driving him to temporarily quit and permanently go into hiding was a mistake. They'll never admit it out loud, but still)

q. What is your WoL's class? Or classes? a. Paladin (Additional note from submitter: Gunbreaker)

q. What data centre/server are you on, if you want people to find you? a. Europe-Alpha

q. Tell us a bit about your WoL! a. Vishnya is just a funny guy tbh. He left home to go do whatever he wanted, and is incredibly touch starved due to not getting much affection as a child. Vish accidentally got tangled up in being a hero and whatnot, but he’s handling it pretty well! Also got hit in the eye by magic and is blind in it (the purple one!!) Big found family advocate, and calls all his Miqo’te friends (and also Thancred) “mi gatito” (he’s sposed to be russian+icelandic but shhh). He enjoys literally any and all affection, and will fold like a wet noodle. He enjoys being a hero because he’s able to cheer on other adventurers, and the adrenaline rush is fun overall. Also gives superb hugs (muscle + slight squishiness combo), & is a short king himbo that’s got a lot of self confidence <3

q. Why should YOU win? (Answer IC!) a. Uhm…I think everyone should win, BUT I should win because I’m awesome and strong and really really good at making friends!

q. Anything else you wanna add? a. Vishnya Vanil Kola literally translates to Cherry Vanilla Cola, his hair reminds me of it :) ALSO my design of Vishnya is much more bunny that canon Viera but i dont have a decent fullbody kdkfkfns

Surdal Demilish:

q. What is your WoL's species? a. Lalafell

q. Tell us a bit about your WoL! a. Surdal Demilish is a 32 Year Old Lalafell- They usually lack tact, don't sugar coat most things, and hate it when he perceives people as being 'patronizing' to him. He likes to dress 'mature' because he utterly loathes when people mistake him for a child due to his stature and general look. He was roped into this 'Warrior of Light' business because apparently, he's the only one who does anything around Eorzea. Outside of his heroic adventures, he usually likes to play with his Gaelikitten or any other cat themed minion he may have, as well as fashion.

q. Why should YOU win? (Answer IC!) a. "I have done SO much goddamn petty work for Eorzea. I have done more work than I think even paid city officials. If I do not win, I will go back to not doing your people's menial chores and watch as society promptly falls apart." ~ Surdal Demilish

[flippythegodzilla]

HI!!! I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOUR WORK!!! I'm more of a silent reader, but when I found you on Tumblr, I realizied that I can say it here!

I wanted to ask... 1) how old are the Orge triplets, dronkeys and Three Diablos here? 2) how long will the Three Diablos terrorize Death until they accept him as a stepfather? 3) is Puss gonna go by Antonio again when his memories come back or still be Puss? And 4) Will Death call him "Prince"?

1) the orgre triplets are 1 years old since I plan that the last wish happens maybe four months of when forever was supposed to happen (because in this world it didn’t happen because I really didn’t like the movie) the dronkeys I figure are three years old (I think that two years pass between the second and third movie so they were two years old in the third movie) and the three diablos are about seven years old! Puss adopted them when they were four years old!

2) awhile they understand that their papa loves the wolf when it’s explain that they were engaged but… while they know the wolf loves their papa he has to make up for trying to kill him

3) puss has always been Antonio it’s his legal name in the mortal realm it’s just that he had trauma during his first year that he couldn’t speak so Humpty nickname him puss and by the time he got the courage to talk it what everyone knows him by and he got tired of trying to explain and it sounds better than Antonio in Boots for a legend name. When he gets his memories back he will still go by Puss but he will answer to Antonio which is what Twyla and Lilianna calls him (or Toni in Lilianna’s case) Death will start calling him Puss more so that way he can prove to him that he didn’t just spare him because he was his fiancé (and to prove to the cat that he loves him just as who he is… he loves him as Puss as much as he loves him as Antonio)

4) nah Puss… doesn’t like being reminded that he’s a prince. Not only was it a terrible burden on his shoulders even if he wasn’t the heir, the only nobles that were kind to him was his family… the others hated/fear him for reasons not his fault… but Death has other nickname, gatito, Mi corazón, Esmeraldo, and Nebulosa

I’m glad you love this fic! I’m so glad that so many people are enjoying it! Especially since it my first original fanfic that isn’t a rewrite of a fandom!

[maivalkov]

I knew gatito in 2020 I had read until the latest chapter at that and forgot where I was. Then I remembered this fic so I wanted to start over

I binge-read it in two days which took me omg 13 hours I just checked.

And I just wanted to say thank you for blessing us. It has been a stressful week for me with all the exams and this fic really took me to relaxing places the characterization the plot the humor it was everything the spuk the nedport agh. Im glad my otp has this beautiful authors. Thank you tysmmmmmm!!!

I dont even want to call it a fic in my eyes this is a spuk CLASSICAL NOVEL.

This is incredible, anon.

First of all, thank you for coming back. Secondly, you re-read the entire thing? I adore this, thank you. It means so much. I'm reminded of articles which provide an estimated reading time - does this mean I should put 13 hours as the official count to date? 🤣

I think I speak for writers (creators in general) when I say it's difficult to tell how much of an impact your works have on others. With this in mind I'm so happy Gatito could provide an escape in such a stressful time.

In terms of it being an EngSpa classic, wow. I don't know what to say besides thank you, once again. Sort of off topic, but if I were to have any fic printed and bound upon its completion, it would probably be this one. Then I'll pass it down the family under the guise of it being a lesser-known classic and hope it winds up in the hands of some very confused auction house decades later.

Cyberchase - Hey, you guys want to see something cursed?

So, I've been digging around through archives of the old Cyberchase website trying to do another reconstruction on the "How it All Started" web comics that debuted back in December 2001. Sometime around 2002, they redesigned the site. They changed the framing of the pages and removed some of the animations to help fit with the new design. I've been trying to recover everything I can from the original 2001 version, but there are a few pages where the original version appears to be gone forever.

Would you like to see something cursed that I found? I promise I haven't edited this in any way. The web comics typically took video frames from the show, tweaked them, and then added their own drawing on top. We saw some infamous examples on my post about The Hacker's most humiliating defeat, where they used screenshots from the pilot, including sacks of stolen Poddle Eggs that had nothing to do with the story.

Anyway, that wasn't really cursed. This background was used in "How It All Started" episode 3, where we get to meet the kids who would become the CyberSquad. This is from page 7, when they introduced Inez.

Here's a link to the image from an official archive of the pbskids.org website, which is running on the pbskids.org domain, so you know I'm not lying.

And here's a local upload in case that one gets taken down and tumblr loses the link.

Look at this. They halfway erased Inez in her own kitchen to make this background. This is clearly a frame from Season 1 Episode 4 "Snow Day to Be Exact", when Inez and her cat, Gatito, are making jelly bean cookies. Sure, they gave Inez a chocolate chip cookie, but that's hardly an equivalent exchange.

And yet, this isn't the only cursed part about this image. Here's what "How It All Started" episode 3 page 7 looks like.

Okay, so they had a frame of Inez in her kitchen from the show, where she has her canon skin and hair color. They want to use this frame to show Inez using her computer on the kitchen counter. So, they halfway erase Inez from the background to add their own drawing of Inez. They still have part of Inez in that background, with her canon ethnicity, and yet, they still made White Inez.

Despite Inez's ethnicity being established in the pilot, I assumed that White Inez was an anomaly from when they were trying to decide what ethnicity she would be in the final show. I had a similar excuse for the version of Inez from the character bios that used a purple star instead of a yellow one. However, this background proves that they had already written Season 1 Episode 4 "Snow Day to Be Exact" with Inez retaining her original ethnicity from the pilot.

That just makes White Inez from the web comics even more confusing. Plus, the fact that Inez was only halfway erased to make the background feels like either laziness when crafting the background or some sort of inside joke. Anyway, there's no use ranting about it now. My other post going through Inez's character bios and introduction contains my attempt at fixing these Inez drawings, for what it's worth.

me di cuenta muy tarde - imy

Released October 19th 2023, imy is the first ep by "me di cuenta muy tarde" (or "mdcmt") and consists of 6 tracks of imperfectly homemade screamo which is exactly what it needs to be. This is an amazing listen that lasts just under 20 minutes, but you'll find yourself replaying songs over and over, so more like 40 minutes. This ep has amazing moments such as the drop on the first track, "caca dia..." and the interlude of the last one "llueven gatitos en tu habitación". The instruments are all so well mixed it's impressive for something that was likely made in a garage. As for information on the band, i couldn't really find anything except a deleted instagram page and the instagram page of the cover artist. I hope to one day revisit this with more info about the band. A very enjoyable listen (even though i don't understand spanish) that i urge you to check out.

2/23 

Full Moon in Virgo

Friday night out with the boyz, Ridley y Bryan. I can say to myself with total assurance that I love them, although I haven’t told them because I’ve never really been one to say ‘I love you’ after a couple days of knowing someone. Maybe I should start.

Wednesday night, after the rat incident, I was set on leaving Maria’s house the following morning and wrote Bryan and Ridley in a frenzy. I awoke to their reply saying, yes, you can stay with us. I was to stay in Bryan’s room, as he was still going to be out of town in his home country of El Salvador. At the last minute, he booked a week-long trip back to Mérida.

Thursday was spent mostly in bed, smoking bowls here and there with Ridley. Friday came and Bryan was to return that evening, I slept in that morning, got a late breakfast and went on a solo date to the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya. From there I met up with Ridley at the mall, he was picking up Chinese take-out and I needed an extra piece of luggage. The two of us shared what felt like equal parts conversing and silence.

Ridley is a 23 year old transmasc sweetie from Guaymas, Sonora, his father es carnicero, he studied animation, graduated in August, and is currently job hunting. Libra sun and moon, Pisces rising, with a very calm and caring disposition. He has a gatito named Carmelo, who used to be a partially outdoor cat till he lost his tail in a mysterious accident last year. They make a good duo and have been keeping eachother company in Bryan’s absence. Ridley made me tortas and hot cakes, I washed the dishes.

Once Bryan arrived and settled in, the three of us went out into the town. Bryan has a way of galavanting through the streets that mesmerizes me, he's charming and easy to follow. We took el camión al centro. Nos fuimos caminando por el barrio, cada sitio mas y mas ocultado, algunos ya estuvieron en mi radar, otros no. Fuimos al Pipiripau, KINO-UADY, Estadio Salvador Alvarado, Salón Gallos, Palacio de la Música, y La Gata Negra. 

Bryan is 22 years old, also studied and graduated with a degree in animation, his personality is, as Ridley described, akin to a highly-sociable dog, he can wolf whistle in true Central American fashion, and he’s added ‘guey’ to his lexicon after 4 years of living in México. He touched every plant, car, fence, building face and lamppost he could get his hands on. We walked by an abandoned bus with it’s rear doors open, Bryan hopped in and I followed, Ridley stayed out on the sidewalk saying he had to piss but I saw the caution they held in their body, I imagine this behavior wouldn’t fly in narco country.

This night was the most liberated I’ve felt on my trip thus far and I’m inspired to take more open hearted action. They mentioned they would be in CDMX in April to see Mitski in concert for the second time and a few days later, a total solar eclipse will be taking place in Mazatlán, where there’s been talk about renting a car to drive to the Pacific coast and bask in nearly 4 minutes of darkness. I’m tempted to extend my trip though I don’t know how feasible that would be. I just can’t shake the feeling that we’ll see each other and soon.

Before we went out that night, I abruptly ditched my mini backpack, full of everything I could possibly need, and carried my phone and wallet instead. It’s as if there was a knowing that we’d be sprinting from one bus stop to the next to catch our ride to the city center. That I needed to pack light to move forward and upward with more ease. Feliz luna llena, que su luz ilumina tu camino y te guíe. 🌕

The End

Summary: The wolf comes to find Puss again.

Puss's ears perked before he even woke. Even then, his fur prickled before he could hear it. The creak of the floorboards outside could have been anyone, but there was a characteristic that told him it was the one who lived in his memories.

There was whistling.

The door to Puss's room creaked open to a pair of blood red eyes staring into green. Puss did not tense as the white wolf silently crossed from the doorway to the side of his cat bed. Instead, while the visitor sat next to his bed, the cat merely kneaded at his resting space.

"Buenas noches, Señor Wolf."

"Hola, Gato."

Puss kneaded at his resting space for a couple more minutes before laying down again. Finally comfortable, he looked up at the wolf again. He didn't seem as hostile as he once was. "Is it time already?"

The wolf shook his head. "Not quite, but it's close." He didn't smile like the last time he chased the cat. It really wasn't a catch for him.

"I have never known you to come early." A silence punctuated the room. "Except that one time."

The wolf barked a short laugh. "I thought that I might stop in and make an offer to you."

Green eyes squinted as Puss looked at him sideways. A deal with Death never came cheap. "What kind of offer?"

"Calm yourself, Gatito. I have no strings to pull here." The wolf waved his paw in front of him, as though to calm the cat. "I'm here to offer you a chance at a better death."

Puss's right ear perked up at the wolf's words. "What do you mean 'A better death'?"

The wolf smiled, the bait was set. "You are old, Puss. Your body will give out soon. Wouldn't you rather go out on one last adventure?"

Puss turned fully to the smiling wolf, one eye still squinting. "Go on."

"I want you to find the Van Winkle hoard."

"The Van Winkle hoard? But the location of Old Rip's hoard has been lost for-"

"-180 years." The wolf licked his chops. The hook was setting. "Word in the streets says that a clue to the location was found and is being held by Ol' King Cole."

Puss stood on his bed, trying and failing to meet the wolf's height to see eye to eye. "And why would you bring this to me?"

The wolf crouched low. "You could say I'm feeling merciful. Wanting to end things on a bang, if you will. Give you a heroic end to your legend. A better end than laying alone in a cold lonely room, 'ey?"

The cat looked into his eyes. They were cold, and dark, but they did not lie. But that was exactly why…

"Wolf, back then you did that thing with the flame. Could you give us a light."

The wolf straightened up again before pulling one of his scythes from his hip. The handle folded out and a small flame lit to hang above the scythes blade like magic. It wasn't a large flame, but it was large enough.

Across the walls of the room, pictures illuminated to show their stories. A picture of Puss together with a transformed Shrek and Donkey. A picture of Kitty and Perrito. The largest picture in the room was a portrait of Puss and Kitty surrounded by a collection of black and orange cats.

"What is this?"

Puss smiled as he laid down again. "This, my friend, is my answer to your offer."

Turned his head this way and that, seeing more pictures featuring the cats surrounding Puss in the large portrait. "I don't get it."

Puss just shook his head. "My legend has already ended, Señor Wolf. It ended happily, with the congratulations of my friends and the joy of my family. There is no better way I can find to pass my last days than looking upon my happy memories."

The wolf could feel he was losing his catch. "It is the job of the century, Gato. It only comes once."

The cat shrugged. "I will leave it to my kittens. They have been trained well enough."

The wolf deflated as he stored his scythe back on his hip. His hood had fallen, showing his drooping ears. "You know, I really thought you'd take the heroic end."

Puss smiled as he closed his eyes. "I have had my heroism. And I have had my happily ever after, Wolf. I am ready for the one thing they always say, but never tell you in the fairy tales."

"And what is that, friend?"

Puss purred as he felt the darkness of sleep at the edge of his consciousness. "It is The End, mi amigo."

The Wolf watched as Puss fell into his slumber. It was only a deep sleep, Death hadn't been lying that he was early. The tall canine replaced his hood as he stepped towards the door. He stopped in the doorframe and looked back at the feline.

"See you in a few days."

The door closed with the wind, not a trace of the visitor remaining. The only sign of the visit was a fading tune whistled on the wind.

Alright COD insert lore time

There’s 3 self inserts, Maarten, Maria and Olivier. They’re siblings.

Maarten “Hyena” Smits, worked together with Price and Gaz during MW1, he had been in the army for about 10 years and specialized in brawling, going into a building stealthily and beating up the enemy in it with hand to hand combat. He has always worked closely with captain Price, during this.

During MW1, he helps Alex and Farah and decides he wants to stay with them. (They all three fell in love)

During MW1, he helps Alex and Farah and decides he wants to stay with them. (They all three fell in love)

During MW1, he helps Alex and Farah and decides he wants to stay with them. (They all three fell in love)

During MW1, he helps Alex and Farah and decides he wants to stay with them. (They all three fell in love)

At the very end of MW1, Hyena gets really hurt, he’s caught in a grenade explosion and he is out of consciousness for about half a month.

——————

Maria “The Scavenger” Smits Verbeek,

During the time that Hyena was out of commission after he got caught in a grenade blast, his entire family was worried sick and all gathered together for support, waiting for the, to them, inevitable news that Maarten was KIA. It was Maria, Olivier, their parents, and Maria’s husband and kids.

Then the worst that could happen, happened, due to an unfortunate stray bomb by the military, just an accident. Everyone that was in that house died. Except for Maria, who crawled around the wreckage, desperate to find anyone of their family alive.

They didn’t, and they fled. Managing to fake their own death by just disappearing, leaving everyone to think they had died along with anyone else. Maria swore revenge on any military, for first taking their big brother during battle, and then their entire family. They had nobody left.

Over two years they built quite a big reputation as ‘the scavenger’ what the military has started to call them. Reaping stray military groups and chipping away at entire bases. When they started specifically targeting Philip Graves was their first mistake. As he hired KorTac in to capture them.

Once captured by KorTac, the group interrogated them. And, with them not having allowed themselves to grieve at all, they start crying promptly when questioned. KorTac admired their fighting spirit when they didn’t give up even after, and let them join KorTac. Where they eventually start dating König, Horangi and Oni.

——————

Meanwhile, Not everyone from the family has been wiped out like Maria thought.

Olivier “Gatito” Smits was still alive, barely. Just in time saved by emergency services. The youngest sibling, just 19 at the time, woke up about a week later. And was told his entire family was dead. Except for Hyena, who was back on his feet, just sporting a nasty scar.

The two brothers were glad that they at least still had each other. And Hyena waited for his little brother to be back to good health before leaving and rejoining with Farah and Alex.

Olivier joined the army under the watchful eye of Price, who had to promise Hyena he’d take care of him. Because Olivier couldn’t shoot guns because of his eye condition, he was quickly put into a separate path for becoming a codebreaker, and quickly he became one of the best ones. physical codes, digital codes, and coding, nothing is a match for the little kitten.

During MW2, Gatito is 22, and joins Price and Gaz in Amsterdam because he knows the way around. He refuses to leave the mission afterwards and comes with them all the way.

He’s weak in the knees the second he meets Alejandro when they save the vaqueros, ghost and soap. And when they go and take back the base, Gatito is put with team 1 in case there’s any traps he can disable.
