Me: *quietly sits down on couch*
Puppy, napping moments ago: New target acquired. *galloping horse noises* *rocket launch* *delighted crash landing directly on my laptop*
I think she wins this round. Thankfully, my laptop lives to see another day.

*it's a form of address that feels strange compared to its Varchaasi equivalent, but she no longer has any claim to that title.
Backstory below the cut:
She never questioned her life, much like she never questioned her love for Mihir and her native Varchas. One rarely has to when all is well and life is easy.
She doesn’t understand why her brother did not share this contentedness. Fraternal twins, they were ever-close, sharing everything, but his interest in the Jewel-Turbaned Youth and his fanciful club was something that she simply could not get her mind around. The rest of the family paid it no mind—they’re harmless anyway. Let him have his fun.
She doesn’t know what it was that stopped her from retiring to bed that one fateful evening, a nagging in the back of her head that something was off. When she stepped back out into the yellow evening lamplight, a familiar shape slipping down the streets confirmed her intuition. Her brother made it as far as the Mirrored Gate before she clamped her hand around his wrist. Was he mirror-mad? What could he possibly be thinking? Who would want to leave the light, and to set sail on a steamer with a Tamaas captain he’d only met that morning? She’d argued with him, begging him to see sense, until they were both shouting. Deep in their quarrel, she’d barely noticed the shape in the mirror pressed up against his back until it was too late. It struck and he screamed, jerking to the side. Hand still latched around his arm, she slipped in turn, down the slope beyond the gate and both of their lives ended in an instant.
She’d later piece together what had happened from The Sympathetic Captain, most of her memories a blur, and Mihir knows, she’d had enough time on that ship to play her retelling back in her head in endless combinations. Before her brother had even met the ground, before his head had hit stone and his heart had stopped beating, he was Tamaas. As was she, not a fraction of a second later. The Captain had heard the commotion and was not far from the bottom of the cliff. She had insisted that the Captain take them both, that no one in the city would help them anymore. She had to get him to the next port where he could recover.
How his body had disappeared a day later, on a ship miles from the coast, was not one the Captain could answer, no matter how much she raged, how many objects in the cabin she smashed in her fugue. The Captain could only offer a sympathetic ear and a cup of tea.
When the ship finally docked in London she disappeared into the darkness, too ashamed of her grief to say goodbye. Her life was over, but somehow she would have to keep living, Tamaas or otherwise.

Ugh Pip's tummy is jiggly and I can't tell if she is having jellybelly or just filling out as she's eating better and has less caloric needs post-spay. Does it happen that fast? There's nothing we really need to do even if it is fluid, unless there's enough where she's having trouble breathing or she's in pain, but I hate not knowing if she's having a Symptom. I want 0 symptom. When we start having Symptoms I start worrying about our time again.

A potential of ANOTHER ideological conflict in Bloodborne
I've been thinking back about the concept that what Bloody Crow is doing would be considered a "blasphemy" for Hunter of Hunters traditions and mindset and discussion on it with @heraldofcrow ( x ), but it got me thinking of an AU/sequel/whatever regarding the concept?
Like, imagine if after Eileen retires, Bloody Crow would instead take the mantle of Hunter of Hunters for good and repurpose the agenda and the tradition of a covenant? Instead of tradition of the Sky Burial, it WOULD now align with search of the Blood Dregs within blood-drunk hunters, officially and deliberately. Instead of letting the birds eat the body of a blood-drunk hunter and thus deliver their soul into "Heaven, or maybe Hunter's Dream"? Now the agenda is, "Even if they've fallen morally, they can still be reborn into something good".
Not a secret that Blood Dregs look like bloody sperm cells, but also seem to have "faces" like Messengers', or even Flora's. They are 'blood echoes', souls of those a hunter killed! So, Bloody Crow could make a believable point that letting the fallen "atone" this way, by becoming a material for creation of a 'bigger' being, is a solid strategy too! When this 'child of blood' is born, they might be a beginning of a better era for humans, after all!
And the coolest part? I could see even remaining Old Hunters see some meaning in it. Both "strategies" deal with superstition - but at the same time in Bloodborne lore, any superstition can be an absolutely real thing. There ARE magic and gods!
Furthermore, the 'Dream', and Nightmare (Winter Lanterns' heads are made of melted Messengers) deal with the Moon Presence by association. And it very well could be that Pthumeru Ihyll, and as follows, Vilebloods are "opposing" force to it! Imposter Iosefka (who is implied to be a Cainhurst noble too) and Annalise can both recognise the "scent of Moon" from Paleblood Hunter, Pthumeru Ihyll like Loran are said to have incurred wrath and curse of the Great Ones, Healing Church has Moon simps (Laurence and Ludwig namely) that went against Cainhurst the way they did... All that!
So, traditional ways of Hunters of Hunters, carried on until Eileen are more 'Team Moon', and Crow's new ways would be more 'Team Curse/Blood' hahahah! Maybe he'd even slightly alter uniform too, making it instead resemble black wings, bloodied ones too. Hahah... living up to his nickname.....
