TUGGER DAD HEADCANONS!!

MY FAVORITE DAD 😭😭😭😭

ok so i firmly believe that prior to adopting all of his kids, Tugger was very much a "i only want to have kids if it's with the right person" and when he met Misto, everything fell into place. they were both absolutely on the same page about having kittens, but wanted to wait for the right time.

and then Hestia came along, and everything became even more perfect, because they had a gift from the Everlasting Cat in the form of this tiny little grey and red kitten who instantly had her daddy and papa wrapped around her little paw

Tugger cried the morning after, because part of him thought it was a dream, but as soon as he sees the kitten curled between him and Misto, his heart's just so full, and he realizes that Hestia was the puzzle piece they had been missing

so after Hestia, Tugger and Misto were just like okay, if things happen, they happen, and then not even a few years later, when Misto and Hestia meet Jubilee, they go back to Tugger and the next day Tugger's already preparing Jubilee's room in their den

Tugger is obviously the type of cat who just... he has so much love to give, and is perfectly happy with a big family, as is Misto.

And then Sekhmet and Ares come along, with their own history and past that is harder and darker than Hestia or Jubilee's, and Tugger immediately steps up to the plate, because he wants all of his kids to be happy, and will do absolutely everything in his power to make them feel safe

he is the MOST doting dad, especially to Jubilee, Sek, and Ares. Hestia loves her daddy more than anything (she's the ultimate Daddy's Girl) but she knows her siblings need that affection and validation that they went so long without

Tugger's a Protector, through and through, and whenever there are attacks or sudden dangers in the Junkyard, he is automatically looking for his family, making sure his kittens are safe and together, making sure Misto's somewhere high up

Heaviside forbid a henchcat attempts to attack one of Tugger's kittens, because he can and will go ape shit and his Protective Dad Mode will be instantly activated

•This AU mostly takes place in the Pride Ring, within a town called Malum which is just outside of Pentagram City just a few minutes away.

•Belo's true demonic form would be his kaiju form from "Watching and Dreaming" and his normal form would be a mix between his regular emperor self and his cursed self.

•Eda has trouble controlling her true demonic form every now and then just like how she had trouble controlling her curse in canon. Her true demonic form is the same as her Owl Beast form.

•Hooty is still hooty. (🦉 Hooty Hoot 🦉)

•Hexisde is also in this AU, but it's renamed "Hexside School District." Which is surprisingly one of the best schools in hell for Hellborns, better than Glandus and St Epidermis.

•Even though there's no coven system, each character has their own set of different demonic abilities and powers.

•Luz's Demon form is that same as her titan form, but instead of her witch outfit she's in her default clothes which are a bit torn due to her transformation.

•Eda and Raine own a store called "The Owl Nest" that sells trinkets, crystals, charms, herbs *including cannabis*, and other types of goods.

Middlesex (MID)

Completing dead rearward in the South Gathering in 2018 and losing a larger number of matches than some other side in the whole challenge would have been lowering for Middlesex. They were one of the groups expected to battle for a playoff spot however they never got moving. The expansion of Abdominal muscle de Villiers to their side is an enormous in addition to and something that can turn the fortunes of the whole group around. It ought to be noticed that Abdominal muscle de Villiers has not by any means set the T20 classes ablaze after his worldwide retirement however to check out a player like him against a portion of the region assaults he will be confronting is simply crazy. On paper, there is a great deal of batting quality in Middlesex to call upon. They have Dawid Malan, Paul Stirling, Max Holden, and Eoin Morgan (who is probably not going to join the side for the primary match) in the side also. The trap will be to get off to a decent begin since run-scoring may wind up troublesome as the game advances. The bowling will be driven by Mujeeb ur Rahman, Steve Finn and Nathan Sowter.

It shows up they have put their confidence in their bowling assault to have any kind of effect in 2019. Driving the assault will be Mohammad Amir. He discovered his mood On the planet Cup and was a class over every other Pakistani bowlers. Amir is additionally going to have the option to use the Master's incline to further his potential benefit and that makes him doubly perilous. With Dwindle Siddle, Adam Zampa, Jamie Doorman, and Simon Harmer in the side, there are no simple overs to look for the resistance side. The issue is the batting. Ravi Bopara has not been the batsman he used to be for quite a while and Varun Chopra has never fully persuaded us in the briefest arrangement of the game either.

The ascent and fall of AMD: How an underdog adhered it to Intel Keep in mind when AMD could rival Intel in both speed and price?.

On June 10, 2000, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) needed to gathering—and gathering enormous. The organization's CEO, Jerry Sanders, masterminded to lease the whole San Jose Arena (now called the HP Pavilion) and afterward paid truckloads of money to get Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, the couple down home music whizzes.

Workers "could present to anyone, your significant other, your children, your companions—it was enormous doings. There were festivities, endowments and honors," reviewed Fran Barton, who filled in as AMD's CFO from 1998 to 2001. The supervisor even got in on the good times. "[Sanders] was on a high wire, he did a unicycle ride. It was absolutely Hollywood. He could truly put on a show when he needed to put on a show."

Furthermore, why not celebrate in style? AMD's fruitful Athlon chips—Ars named the Athlon its "CPU of the Year" in 1999—had at last put the screws to archrival Intel, and in 2000 the organization earned almost $1 billion in benefits.

By 2005, years of strong chip outline and mechanical execution had the organization strolling with a swagger, as found in promoting stunts which tested Intel's then-present server processors to a "double center duel." Nowhere was this state of mind more obvious than AMD's 2005 claim against Intel for hostile to focused business hones.

Cynics didn't think the great circumstances could last. "I rode through a couple of such cycles and can review the pinnacle of wanton abundance and amazing scene in 2000 when AMD's then artist CEO, Jerry Sanders, clad in tight cowhide pants, shirt aired out to the midriff, slid to the phase of the HP Pavilion in a careful selector and reported that AMD's stock would take off to over $100 per share and that another [chip creation plant] would be inherent Austin," reviewed Bill Bushnell, a general population veteran programming engineer at AMD, in an email to Ars. "Neither happened."

AMD has been on a striking drop for about 10 years now. To understate the obvious, 2012 was an unpleasant year: AMD lost over $1 billion, adequately wiping out its $471 million benefit in 2010 and its $491 million benefit in 2011—its two most productive years in the most recent decade. In the course of the most recent 15 years, AMD has maintained a net loss of almost $7 billion, and the organization has been downsized by FICO score offices, consumed by lower interest for PCs (and subsequently, for its items), and even called "un-investable" by one Wall Street expert.

A month ago, the organization even sold (and afterward rented back) its corporate base camp in Austin, Texas for $164 million as an approach to make some brisk money. Following quite a while of specialized lurches, Intel now runs hovers around AMD in desktop, portable PC, and server CPUs, while newcomers like Qualcomm, Samsung, and Nvidia have utilized their low-control ARM chips to close AMD out of the expanding cell phone and tablet markets. What's more, faultfinders charge that the organization still has central auxiliary issues that go past specialized stumbles.

"There's no control on spending—even now, one of the issues is whether you investigate the pay structure," said Atiq Raza, the organization's previous president, boss specialized officer, and head working officer, in a discussion with Ars. "[AMD is] a sinking ship, in a general sense. I truly am sad for [current CEO Rory Read]. He's a well meaning individual however the ship has a tremendous opening in it. That $164 million will go in the blink of an eye."

Raza calls the organization's decrease "one of the immense bobbled chances of our time." How did AMD go from the best time frame in its history to one of its bleakest—and does the organization have a battling chance going ahead?

"I couldn't come up short"

At the point when Jerry Sanders was 18, he was beaten in a road battle by individuals who left him oblivious in a waste can. "They cracked my skull, broke my nose—that is the reason you're shooting from the left," Sanders revealed to Daniel Marrow of Computerworld (PDF) in 2000. "So my nose is not more screwy than typical, ribs—I mean only a fiasco. Furthermore, they exited me to bite the dust. They truly left me to bite the dust."

In any case, following three days in a state of extreme lethargy, Sanders revitalized.

"I once said 'I can kick the bucket, however I can't come up short'," he told the San Francisco Chronicle for a profile. "What I implied was, I was continually going to give it my everything. I couldn't come up short, since disappointment wasn't an alternative. I would bite the dust before I'd come up short."

Sanders went to work for Motorola and Fairchild Semiconductor, yet he didn't work yearn for others. He opened AMD for business on May 1, 1969—when he was only 33 years of age. He immediately established a notoriety for being insubordinate and conspicuous, and he kept a notice in his office which read, "Yea, however I stroll through the valley of the shadow of death, I should fear no insidious—for I am the meanest offspring of the devil in the valley."

"He's a blend between Don Quixote and Indiana Jones," previous CFO Barton stated, "a swashbuckling visionary, not hesitant to tilt at windmills and dream the unimaginable dream. His entire profession, his unimaginable dream was to fight Intel. What's more, he combat hard for quite a long time."

AMD started life as a moment source provider for organizations utilizing Intel processors. Organizations like IBM would not like to depend entirely on Intel for one of the essential segments in their PCs, so they authorized AMD to deliver renditions of processors like the 8088 and 80286. While these CPUs were fabricated by AMD (and, at times, AMD was really ready to clock the CPUs higher than their Intel partners), practically everything about their outlines originated from Intel.

Starting with Intel's 80386 in 1985, Intel quit giving AMD access to its plans. AMD needed to fashion its own particular manner, soon creating 386 and later 486 CPUs that were basically figured out renditions of Intel's parts.

In 1990, a Merrill Lynch investigator called AMD "dead," to a great extent in light of the time expected to figure out the chips, only one of ordinarily an examiner would say this in regards to the organization. Intel's 386 was discharged in 1985, for example, yet AMD's didn't show up until 1991; Intel's 486 was out in 1989, while AMD's wasn't available until 1993. The expanded intricacy of Intel's CPUs made the figuring out process more troublesome: Intel's 486 had 1.18 million transistors, and the first Intel Pentium chip had 3.1 million in 1993. The Pentium line rapidly developed more intricate, prompting the 5.5 million transistor Pentium Pro in 1995 and the 7.5 million transistor Pentium II in 1997. Contrasted with the 134,000 transistors in the 286, these were gigantically troublesome chips to reproduce, and however AMD sold a huge number of its renditions through forceful valuing, the technique wasn't feasible in the long term.Rolling their own

To remain aggressive, AMD made its first unique x86 outline, a Pentium-equal called the K5. This CPU was generally similar to the Pentium's execution, however it came to advertise in 1996, a year after the Pentium Pro.

A modest Silicon Valley organization named NexGen, in the mean time, was doing what AMD proved unable: bringing on Intel with a generally miniscule group of only 60 engineers and a touch of subsidizing from IBM. The organization was going by Atiq Raza, a splendid Pakistani architect taught in the United Kingdom and the United States, who had landed in the US in 1979 with just $3,000 in real money to his name. (By 2009, Raza put his Palo Alto domain available to be purchased at $24 million; he wound up not offering it.) Raza needed to go up against Intel, as well, however he realized that he couldn't do it at NexGen's present size.

Microsoft CEO Bill Gates demonstrated an enthusiasm for NexGen and had a 45-minute meeting with Raza that extended into a four-hour supper. Doors recommended that Raza address Sanders since AMD claimed a chip fab however required a superior item to work in it. Raza said he might want to chat with Sanders yet said he didn't know how to achieve the AMD CEO, significantly less inspire him to focus.

"The first occasion when I was acquainted with Jerry Sanders, he didn't delay sufficiently long to hear my name—he continued calling me Raja," Raza told Ars. "He did that constant for 45 minutes revealing to me how AMD will pound me. I remained there with a grin all over, however how would I speak with such a man? Charge stated, 'Jerry ought not be disparaged—he has three qualities: he's keen, he's greatly self important, and he's totally arbitrary.'"

Doors gotten the telephone.

"Without Bill deciding, we would not have had that energy," Raza admitted.AMD bought NexGen in 1995 for $615 million. Raza moved toward becoming president and head working officer of AMD and was broadly seen to be Sanders' possible successor—as per the Wall Street Journal, Sanders even named Raza "the Michael Jordan of chip plan." AMD additionally gotten NexGen's in-advance CPU, the Nx686. After a few troubles adjusting the plan for assembling in AMD's offices (instead of the IBM manufacturing plants for which it had been composed), AMD in 1997 delivered a CPU that was focused with Intel's Pentium II however which could be embedded into the then-pervasive Socket 7 motherboards utilized by the first Pentium, considering simple set up overhauls.

This CPU was known as the K6, and denoted a defining moment for AMD—it could rival Intel in both speed and cost.

"The Pentium MMX is currently a totally out of date CPU!" fan site Tom's Hardware broadcasted in April 1997. "The K6 233 will be evaluated lower than the Pentium MMX 200 and it's quicker than this CPU in practically every regard... The K6 is quicker than any present CPU under Windows 95 and will most likely be similarly as quick as the Pentium II at a similar clock speed."

The K6 later transformed into the K6-2, which appeared a year later, and after that the K6-III, which gone on for the heft of 1999. While those moves may have looked clear to the general population, things weren't so smooth off camera.

Virtual Reality History & Interview with Ken Perlin, founder of the NYU Future Reality Lab

this post was originally created for my New Media Research Studio course taken Spring 2016 under the guidance of Professor Carlin Wing.

"Imagine 10 years ago trying to envision the way we use cellphones today. It’s impossible. That’s the promise VR has today. VR at its best shouldn’t replace real life, just modify it, giving us access to so much just out of reach physically, economically. If you can dream it, VR can make it." (Drummond et al.)

Such is the optimistic viewpoint of The Verge on the effect of virtual reality on our daily lives. Virtual reality is defined as the immersive, artificial environment that is created with software, experienced through sensory stimuli, primarily sight and sound, and allows users to determine outcomes using interaction (source: Merriam-Webster Online). We most commonly think of helmet-like headsets, popularized by Oculus Rift (left) and Sony's Playstation VR (formerly known as Morpheus) (right)

But VR technology has been decades in the making, with a long and storied history that has allowed us to experience the innovations being created and consumed today.

A Brief Timeline of the History of VR:

Late 1950s to early 1960s: Douglas Engelbart, US Naval radar technician, posits that computers can be used for digital display. As computers merged with graphics technology and the fears of nuclear attack mounted, many different sources worked on bridging the gap between computation and visual representation. Tom Furness works on the VR technology within the U.S. air force, later to become flight simulators. Radar defense system, data modeling, etc.

1962: Ivan Sutherland invented the “light pen” & Sketchpad software, creating a marketable software for computer graphics. This leads to the possibility of coding immersive visual environments.

1968: Sutherland creates a very basic “head-mounted display” (video below), famously known as "The Sword of Damocles;" the same year, Engelbart releases the first pointing device, or a mouse as we now call it at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in his presentation, known as "The Mother of All Demos." [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtwZXGprxag&w=420&h=315]

1970s: Flight simulators become common practice in the U.S. military; Evans & Sutherland establish themselves at University of Utah to research computer graphics, animation & interactivity. The release of Star Wars IV: A New Hope in 1977 causes people to start noticing the potential of computer-generated graphics. The NASA Ames "Dataglove"

1980s: NASA Ames research group, under Scott Fisher, creates the dataglove, able to track motion of your fingers in a glove and link it to a music synthesizer. Nintendo becomes the biggest buyer of the dataglove technology to create Powerglove, which allowed interactive video gameplay.

1985: Jaron Lanier founds VPL Research, Inc. – one of the first pioneers for a native visual-programming language and commercial sales of VR goggles & gloves. Lanier is credited for popularizing the term “virtual reality.” Eventually, his company goes on to collaborate with NASA's Ames group, linking VPL's head-mounted goggles with the technology of the dataglove.

Limitations of the 1980s: Computer hardware at the time, simply did not have enough processing power necessary to create high-quality graphics at any speed. Since we’ve now entered an era where processing power has virtually zero limits, VR has taken off in the 21st century.

1990s: 1991-93: Virtuality Group created a line of VR-equipped arcade game machines with stereoscopic 3D visuals; head-mounted display visor had two displays (capable of 276×372 resolution) Cost of deployment is prohibitively high for regular consumers to adopt VR technology (not the case anymore!) causing the bubble to burst in the late 90’s to early 2000s. Most famously, Nintendo's epic flop attempt in 1995 at commercializing virtual-reality gameplay using a console called "Virtual Boy," convinced video game companies that virtual reality was a dead end. Boy, were they wrong...

2007-present: A critical turning point was the introduction of the smartphone; with the rollout of the first iPhone in 2007, VR suddenly had a new display medium that people used on the daily. This allowed for rapid prototyping of head-mounted displays such as Samsung's GearVR (developed in conjunction with Oculus) and easy consumer testing, since everyone already knew the operating systems of smartphones. At the moment, multiple companies are specializing in immersive virtual-reality-gaming experiences, with the frontrunners being Sony and Oculus (mentioned/pictured at top) and HTC's Valve Vive system (pictured below). These companies also make joysticks with motion-sensing technology to allow the user to use their limbs in the immersive environment--in the future, I suspect that they will use technologies like the Xbox Kinect or Playstation Move to allow user autonomy while still tracking motion. The largest hurdle is still the sheer processing burden of VR visual rendering on gaming consoles; adding motion-track to the mix will prove to be a challenge that will be solved in the near future.

Update 2/29: Sony just filed a patent on VR gloves indicating their heavy research into tactile experience; in particular, their patent states that the glove can sense "a flex of at least one finger portion...as well as contact sensors" allowing a user to have more articulate control.

In 2016, Oculus has already begun personal consumer preorders for the Oculus Rift gaming system, after its wild Kickstarter success in 2012. While many tech news outlets report hiccups and delays in the preorder release, Oculus' popularity from Palmer Luckey's basement pet project and ever-increasing pool of supporters and funders (such as Facebook's acquisition in 2014) are a very promising sign that virtual reality is the future.

Implications & Questions Arising from VR: I interviewed Ken Perlin on 2/18/16 with some questions about his involvement and research in virtual reality at Courant at NYU. 

Perlin has been hesitant to dive into virtual reality, with a background in computer graphics & animation, until he felt that display & computer graphics to get fast enough & small enough for the platform to reach multitudes (approx. September 2014)--now that we have an amazing graphics machine in every pocket via smartphones, we can start making VR/AR widespread. In the future, people will spend a lot of time in a "resynthesized" reality meshing what physically exists (chairs, tables) with things that can be modified by VR/AR (the color of the walls, the objects and people in the room). He also pitches the idea that we could all have VR contact lenses or eye implants, something that would be ubiquitous in a couple decades (Facebook is already exploring these avenues). I asked him if he felt that idea dystopian; he explains: "technology" is what comes after we were born, but what comes before us is normalized--we don't consider speaking to "John" on the phone as unusual, we just think/say "I spoke to John," even though we were really speaking to some electrical signals and not John himself. So this idea can be extended to a conversation with visual virtual reality representation of "John" in our room and we aren't speaking to "a representation of John," we are just "having a chat with John." Once our society normalizes this idea, we no longer worry about the dystopian aspect of it (like smartphones). He focuses his research & development on "shared social reality:" in his words, he says that "I'm interested in life, and life is other people." That last statement really impacted me. His games & VR environments often involve two people wearing restrictive helmets/headsets who cannot see each other, interacting in a virtual environment. How can our interactions with others be enriched by virtual reality? By breaking the geographic boundaries and allowing us to be "in the same room" with those we love? What about when a roomful of people are all experiencing something in VR but not interacting with each other in the moment? (See this creepy photo here)... What do we gain & lose when we promote, as Ken does, the idea that VR and AR are "bringing people together?" The notion that such a seemingly restrictive experience, where you are often in a helmet that limits your sight, can be considered a 'shared social experience' is still troublesome for me: the old traditions of interpersonal social interaction being something that takes place in person has been worn down for the past few decades since the advent of the telephone, but the changes in our social fabric and our ability to interact with each other seems to be deteriorating as we become more and more reliant on devices to keep us connected to those we care about while blocking out those we do not. My thoughts on imaging art & creation in the VR & 360 environments are better found on the 360 Collaborative Travelogue so I've focused more on the social implications in my reflection. I think VR is going to be a hot new "media trend" in the coming decade. Just the fact that Facebook has poured energy into Oculus, the rise of Unity gaming graphics & Steam has allowed more accessibility to VR games for those who own headsets, and Google created Cardboard as a low-cost entry into VR viewing have shown that the tech industry is very optimistic about the future of virtual reality. I think it's important to remember why we use these technologies, whether it is to stay connected with one another or stay engaged and participatory in the world at large or escape from the world into a fantasy game for a little bit. I'm looking forward to see what is coming, but I don't want to evangelize about it as a "game-changer" because we've had new technologies coming out constantly. VR is only at the infancy of its development and adoption, and I'm curious to see how it influences our lives as it matures.

it's up and posted!!

thank you to everyone who's been talking with me about my human au, and who has shown interest in it, because that's really one of the main things that's been keeping me going with this series. i very much appreciate it, and there will be more human au content in the future!!

but for now, here's the first chapter of what will absolutely be one of the softest stories i've ever written <3

taglist under the cut:

@queen-with-the-quill @storyweaverofgondor @hufferysnuffery @the-metaphorical-jellicle-cat @dcjelliclequeen33 @is-it-mungojerry-or-rumpelteazer

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

i’m thinking about Thomas and Tugger being best friends again, and absolutely losing it when they reunite and meet the other’s mate and kids.

See, Thomas and Tugger were both very similar, sort of the future “bachelors” of the Junkyard. When Thomas was still in the Junkyard, the two of them would talk about travelling about, meeting all sorts of cats, and never settling down. Neither of them ever thought they’d get a mate or have kittens, it just didn’t seem like something they’d end up with.

So when Thomas meets Duchess and the kittens, and ends up staying with them, he can’t help but think about how Tugger would laugh to see how he ended up. And Tugger, after mating with Mistoffelees and adopting Hestia, Sekhmet, Ares, and Jubilee, can only imagine how Thomas would tease him about his younger days. 

So when Thomas returns, and Tugger sees Duchess and the kittens, and Thomas sees Mistoffelees and the kids, both of them just stare at each other for a full minute before just absolutely bursting into laughter.

As Mistoffelees sits to chat with Duchess, as Marie leaps at Hestia and Sekhmet, begging to see their magic, as Berlioz shyly asks Jubilee for a story, and as Toulouse get into a playful wrestling match with Ares, Tugger and Thomas just sit back to watch with smiles, because while their lives weren’t anything like they dreamed about when they were younger, they couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

Demeter, Bombalurina, Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Quasi, Hestia, Sekhmet, Ares: *exists*

The Jellicles: *instant urge to swaddle them with blankets and hide them away*

@dcjelliclequeen33

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

*throws this at y'all* HERE HAVE MY OCS AS VINES

alsjvnsalv I'm so sorry these are so dumb i made this at like 1 am when i hadn't slept all day

FEATURING:

Rooster: @rainbowratsstuff

Jubilee: @queen-with-the-quill

Sekhmet and Ares: @dcjelliclequeen33

Antoinette: @hufferysnuffery

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

Human AU idea i had:

Tugger and Mistoffelees dress up as Jedediah and Octavius one Halloween, and they split the kids into two groups of 6, and each group dresses up as either cowboys or as romans.

Tugger's got Hestia on his team (of course, she's the ultimate Daddy's Girl), as well as Sekhmet, Hades (because the bigs can't be separated, it'd be too chaotic), Thetis, Fabre, and Ziggy.

Mistoffelees' has Ares (who refuses to wear a cowboy hat, that's literally the only reason he's on Mistoffelees' team and not Tugger's), Apollo, Iris, Calliope, Jubilee, and Persephone, because they're all their papa's children, and refuse to betray him.

Jubilee and Hestia have a pretty intense pretend argument about betrayal before hugging and going off to trick or treat together, feud long forgotten.

@queen-with-the-quill

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

we're FINALLY continuing the plot in this AU and also getting some Macavity development!

This is one that I've been teasing for a while, so I'm really excited that I'm finally posting it!

@queen-with-the-quill

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

so i definitely don’t post things like this here on my blog, but i’ve been dying to talk about something important to me, and important to Hestia!!

it’s this (very) rough drawing-

Hestia’s pocket-watch! What was originally used as a plot device during one of my wonderful RPs with @queen-with-the-quill has become one of my favorite aspects of Hestia’s physical description, as well as her relationship with Tumblebrutus, since he was the one who found it and gave it to her!

I wanted it to be more than just a pocket watch, so I kind of ended up accidentally modeling it after that clock that the Weasley family has in Harry Potter?

So the pocket watch has symbols that represent the most important cats to her, the members of her (living) family.

so, going clockwise:

The rose: It’s Hestia’s symbol (inspired by the wonderful header that @platothefluffbutt​ made for me for her blog!), so that’s where the hands rest if she’s in the Junkyard with her family. 

The sparkles: Mistoffelees, of course! I had to do his sparkles for his symbol, since his encouragement and happiness is what helps Hestia to push forward.

The scarf: Tugger, and I wanted to do something more unique to him, since multiple cats have spiked collars, so I went with the scarf that he has tied around his leg! I definitely imagine baby Hestia just sitting next to her dad gnawing on his scarf while he’s talking to other cats.

The bracelet: Tumblebrutus! He and Hestia have matching bracelets, with Hestia’s having a brown bead, and Tumblebrutus’ having a blue, to represent their eyes. 

The book: One of Jubilee’s favorite books, and it definitely took me quite a while to decide which book to model her symbol after, but I thought that Peter Rabbit would be a good choice! @queen-with-the-quill​

The heart: Sekhmet is the heart of the family. There, I said it, and it’s true, and anyone who doesn’t agree with me can fight me. She does keep her feelings and emotions to herself from time to time (hence the thorns).

The flame: Ares, since the very first thing that Hestia ever associated with her brother was the scent of ash, and is a scent that she still associates with him. But also, to Hestia, Ares is warm and kind to those he cares about, and protective. @dcjelliclequeen33​

The moon: This represents the general Junkyard, though it can also represent Old Deuteronomy if Hestia focuses on her grandfather.

The silver hands on the clock help Hestia to know whether or not her family’s in the Junkyard. If she focuses on one of the symbols, the hands switch around. The red hand alerts Hestia of incoming danger, and the silver hands will point to whichever cat is in danger, or if the Junkyard and Jellicles are in danger. When nothing is happening, it rests on Hestia’s symbol.

The line written “when you’re walking alone” is the line from the opening song that I associate most with Hestia, as well as the line that I imagine her taking over once she’s old enough to join the Jellicles during the Ball. It also helps to keep her grandmother close, as it was once Grizabella’s line.

I’m hoping to write a short about this watch, and how Tumblebrutus gives it to Hestia, so stay tuned for that!

[uppastthejelliclemoon]

@dcjelliclequeen33 @queen-with-the-quill

*a new cat arrives in the Junkyard*

Munkustrap: “Welcome! This is my mate, Demeter, and my daughter, Jemima. This is my brother, Tugger, his mate, Misto, and their children, Sekhmet, Jubilee, Hestia, and Ares.”

Munkustrap: “Jemima, Sekhmet, Ares, and Hestia are all half-siblings, as well as cousins, and they are all mine and Tugger’s nieces and nephew.”

Munkustrap: “Sekhmet and Ares are Demeter and Bombalurina’s niece and nephew, and they are also Bombalurina’s unofficial children.”

Munkustrap: “Jennyanydots and Skimbleshanks are Jemima, Sekhmet, and Ares’ grandparents, but have no relation to Hestia.”

Munkustrap: “And we’re just happy to have Jubilee here, she’s an absolute joy.”

Munkustrap: “Also, Tugger and Misto have a wife and five other children, but they are all ghosts.”
