the fellowship of the ring (family: felinae) :3

"lore" below the cut

so much thought went into this and i couldnt tell ya why!

all the cats shown are members of the subfamily felinae of felidae, which basically excludes big cats like lions and tigers (that can roar). since in lotr canon the fellowship takes place time-wise sort of after all the big players have come and gone, i think that all the remaining races would be smaller cats in comparison, to emulate that vibe of the end of an era. each character of a different race has a different genus- including boromir and aragorn, because a lynx is basically a fancier caracal and i thought that was funny.

felis, the housecat genus that the hobbits are in, actually has quite a few species, so i imagine that in this universe the more housecat you are, the more respectable a hobbit. however some cats (tooks!) are a bit more related to wild cats, hence why pippin looks like a sandcat.

gandalf, true to the books, is just sort of doing his own thing- everyone probably has a theory on what kind of cat he is but he won't confirm or deny any of them. aragorn knows but won't admit it. saruman, on the other hand, i imagine as a cheetah :3

the dwarf family also includes leopardus, which is small spotted cats. i chose a pallas cat for gimli (and then regretted it when coloring) because i thought it fit his vibe too well to pass up, but maybe thats just his family tree, who knows. i imagine them all with geometric spot patterns, better than how i drew gimli's, and very broad shoulders.

caracals are the only living member of their genus, so i also give cougars to men. maybe the house of rohan gets them. up to interpretation!

anyway. on to your regularly scheduled programming

Absolutely not saying this as any kind of complaint over my luck of achieving homeownership:tm:, but as I'm figuring out the logistics of moving my brain sure has found Every Possible Thing to be anxious about. Some of them being kind of reasonable things like "what if I miss my old apartment" "what if I don't like my new place as much" "what if homeownership is too complicated" and "oh god - oh god that was so much money", but also the absolute batshit left-field ones like "what if I suddenly want to move to Chicago (something I have never thought about once before in my life) and now that will be incredibly more difficult to achieve"

And she thinks…she thinks of Lottie’s hand on her chest during the birth, and she thinks of Lottie saving Natalie from her attempt like Misty saved Natalie from her relapsing; and to Misty there’s something there, she’s jumping up on her tippy toes to grasp it, so close and so near to understanding what it means.

Then the alcohol and the bon fire and the singing makes her fall back on the soles of her feet before she can clasp onto it, feeling a little bit like she'll always crash down back to the earth and never figure it out.

(or misty realises she's a lesbian at 43, and lottie, misty and nat figure it all out. set during 2x07 reunion bon fire.)

Thinking my wolship thoughts, as one does, and realised that since I have decided to apply traditional feywild timey wimey rules to travelling between the Source and the First, Kitali would have been stewing in not only the Missing My Husband feels but also the "I had so much left to say to Estinien why did I let him walk away on the Steppe" feels for literal years with no resolution. No fucking wonder she's so clingy to both of them post ShB.
