A detail about khajiit that I find absolutely hilarious but also see a lot of potential worldbuilding in is their love of sweets and reverence for moon sugar. If you don't know, a theorized reason for and/or result of cats being obligate carnivores is that they CANNOT TASTE SWEETNESS, a flavor normally associated with plants (fruits, nectar, etc.) meanwhile khajiit are known to have an unyielding, insatiable sweet tooth. But this could be super interesting considering the fact that common house cats very much exist, and the Alfiq furstock can be almost indistinguishable visually from them, that there is a lot of wives tales and traditions around "testing" housecats to root out khajiit infiltrators (or to make sure that the kitten your kid brought home isn't some young nonverbal khajiit child they inadvertently kidnapped). The first meal offered to a new cat before being set upon mice might be a bowl of candies and cakes, and a second bowl of skinned raw meat. A house cat will always go to the raw meat (apparently), whereas the bowl of dessert is said to tempt khajiit spies into breaking. Or if they don't, they may break trying to choke down raw, unseasoned, slimy and smelly bits of offal. And I like to think it is a method that has a somewhat reliable success rate.

The best khajiit alfiq spies have figured out with their magical talents to alter the raw meats while in their mouths to be more palatable, or simply have the discipline and willpower to stomach the raw meat without retching. But the next challenge comes in resisting the temptation to sneak a nibble of a pie...

i just read about the "narcissism of small differences," aka the idea that the more a community has in common, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and mutual ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences perceived in each other, and i knew there was a reason my time in academia and fandom felt oddly similar lmao

The froggos! There's a bigger size and shape discrepancy than I first thought with these, so you're going to be able to pick individual frogs out, like you'll be able to with the various uniquely colored dinos.

We all laugh (rightfully) at r/falloutlore type people acting like wastelanders wouldn't know fuck all (remember calendars?) but what the fuck do dudes born into the Legion not know about. I feel like that expands the range of things quite far in fact.

🥀Return of Son of Colloquial Italian for Papa Fic Writers, Part ???🥀

Hello again! I have a request.

Please. PLEASE.

When your Papa of choice and his lover(s) are in the throes of ecstasy, or even edging it—

—please don’t have him say, “per favore.”

While it does mean please, it’s more in the vein of “will do you me a favor?”

I don’t like “per piacere.,” either, in this context. This is the kind of please one says patiently to someone who is being stubborn about something.

When your Papa is begging for release, for entry into your preferred partner’s bodily delights, or even into their veins (DracPapa of choice), I beg you to have him say…I beg you.

Ti prego.

This is what you’re trying to have him say, this is the desperate tone you’re seeking, and even if it isn’t desperate, it’s still the right phrase because when Papa/DracPapa wants satisfaction, it’s not “in a little while,” or maybe after a nap. It’s RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.

Ti prego doesn’t have to be said in a begging tone, on his knees or pulling OC to him. It can be said aggressively, in a growl, while he’s snapping buttons or climbing over their body like a panther. As with most languages, context and subtext and denotation are important.

Just…using those other forms of please AL-L-L-WAYS makes me think he’s needing to ask if his object of affection can please take their glasses off so he won’t break them when he pecks their cheek. Which is also cute. But not like, y’know…“…ł ₳₥ ₳₦ ₳₱₱Ɇ₮łłłłłł₮Ɇ…”

…

Thank you. Carry on.☺️
