LaDS men react to you getting a cat

Xavier

• Very happy that you're getting your own little buddy for your apartment.

• Brings your cat a bunch of goodies to welcome it to its new home.

• They immediately hit it off, since Xavier is naturally good with animals.

• Honestly, the cat starts to feel like a mini version of Xavier with how it immitates him. Or maybe he's immitating the cat?

• Sometimes when you're doing something, you catch them both looking at you with the exact same look of love and you think 'Oh. They're the same guy.'

• When he falls asleep on your couch, your cat, in turn, falls asleep on top of him.

• You have a whole photo album dedicated just for their naptimes, they're incredibly cute together.

• He gets one of those little cloth wrap bags to carry it around in, after it gets too big to fit in the pocket of his hoodie. He just walks around with it like a mom with a baby, and it happily rests and purrs.

Zayne

• He's so excited about this.

• When he meets it for the first time, he comes into your home dressed up and carrying gifts like he's about to meet your parents.

• Despite the bribes of cat toys and treats, the cat totally hates him.

• After it hisses at him and runs off, he just falls to his knees and stays in that position for a solid minute.

• "T-This was my only chance..." If your cat doesn't like him, no cat is ever going to like him.

• You don't think you've ever seen a reaction this dramatic from him.

• You do your best to assist him on his mission to get along with your cat. You instruct him to sit still on the couch and even sprinkle a bit of catnip next to him.

• Eventually, your cat makes its way over to him and becomes a comfortable little loaf next to his thigh.

• He's afraid to even breathe cause he might scare it away, but he's making intense eye contact with you that screams 'It's happening! Everybody stay calm!'

• The progress is slow, but any time your cat does anything to imply it at least tolerates Zayne, he's practically moved to tears.

Rafayel

• He cannot believe you'd do this to him

• This is betrayal. A breach of trust. Complete backstabbing move on your part.

• You try dressing it up in little mermaid and fish-themed costumes to warm him up to it but he just stares at it like it's Satan's incarnate.

• Much to his horror, the wretched creature adores him.

• You use that to try and butter him up with compliments, but he stubbornly refuses to accept your cat's love.

• "Why does it keep smelling my fingers like that?! That's disgusting!"

• "It must think you smell nice if it keeps doing that."

• "It's trying to eat me?!"

• He eventually somewhat accepts his fate of being the cat's favorite fishnip, but he still likes to whine about it. Will randomly text you to inform you he found fur on his clothes or, worse, in his mouth.

• Maybe he quite likes your cat. But only that one! Cause it's yours. Special privileges.

Sylus

• He is very pleased with this development.

• Gets you one of those fancy self-cleaning litter boxes and a bunch of other gadgets, like an automatic bowl and a water fountain. And, of course, large, high-quality cat trees for your cat to go apeshit on.

• To nobody's surprise, the cat loves him.

• The moment he makes himself comfortable on your couch, the little rascal is all over him.

• "Wait, Sylus, let me get you a change of clothes. You'll get fur all over yourself!"

• "It's fine. If the clothes get ruined, I'll just throw them away and buy new ones."

• He's completely unbothered and lets the cat make biscuits on his expensive black suits.

• Your cat also has a couple of crazy fancy collars. You don't really make it wear them, since you live in an apartment and your cat doesn't go outside, so there's not really a need for it. But they look really cute on it.

• Sylus does have pictures of the cat wearing every single one of the collars he's gifted it though.

• You actually got the cat accustomed to Mephisto since it was a kitten, so they make a surprising, fun little duo.

Caleb

• He's glad you have some non-human company while he's not with you. And he genuinely likes the critter!

• He always brings food and treats for you cat, and when he cooks he'll make a whole separate meal specifically for your cat.

• When he first met it, the moment you left them alone, he picked it up and said to it "You have to keep them company and keep them happy while I'm not here, got it? Do not blow this for us."

• Unbeknownst to you, he has saddled the blissfully ignorant creature with quite the responsibility.

• "Caleb, you're overfeeding the poor thing. It's going to pop from how much you let it eat! Animals don't have a sense of restraint like us."

• "Awww, so it's going to be a cute, chubby little cat." He cuddles it, giving it kisses on its squishy cheeks, "Don't worry, baby, Caleb will love you and take care of you, no matter what."

• This isn't about the cat anymore is it.

• Trying to reason with him is impossible, he's decided he'll spoil the cat rotten and that's that. You can't convince him to stop.

Howdy!

Welcome to Ranchclan, a slice-of-life art blog following my primary Clangen save. You can call me Luckyfoot or just Lucky, and I use they/them pronouns 🍀

Ranchclan takes place in North Central WA and part of the comic involves sharing a little bit about the ecology of the location! It’s also a vaguely post-apocalyptic world, but that was long before any cat alive can remember. I take a lot of inspiration from @/bonefall, @/rippleclan, @/fallenclan, @/clangenrising, @/direclan and more - you’ll definitely see complex tool use, cooking, and maybe magic👀 in the future

I reblog to @hiddenvalleyclan so check out there for other WC artists and secret memes

Main updates are twice a week on Tuesday/Thursday - bonus mini updates, lore text, and/or asks get posted whenever I feel like it

Begin Here

Moon 0 allegiances - Most recent allegiances

Lore and Maps

Asks: Open!

Feel free to ask worldbuilding, character asks, or ask me anything

In case you missed it

GMMTV announced the second half of their 2024 line up. I got excited and picked my favorites, details + trailers here.

Along the way, they discover unexpected twists and turns and close bonds, which brings out the message that "there is always someone like you in this world who is waiting for you.

5/16 Blossom Campus (Korea Thurs Gaga & iQIYI) ep 1 of 6 - Strongberry doing classic BL! Weeee!

5/19 OMG Vampire (Thai Sun ????) ep 1 of 10 - LeeFrank are back - not unlike the undead (as it were). But how do we feel about it? Unsure given their track record.

(Last week)

Catnap

18+ || MDNI || Content Warnings: Language probably because it's me but otherwise this is just hopefully adorably disgusting fluff, MC is also very anxious and worried about where her boyfriend went off to

Word Count: ~1.0k

Sebastian Sallow x f!MC x Ominis Gaunt

A/n: A silly little Drabble to contribute to the collective catnip prompt. Enjoy Omi scaring the shit out of his partners

~~~~~

MC felt like she had scoured the entire castle at this point. She had finished her NEWT exam, taking longer than both of her boyfriends, and now one was missing. Huffing, she ended up in front of the fountain in Central Hall. She perked up slightly, seeing a familiar tuft of brown hair moving towards her, but she deflated when she realized Sebastian Sallow was alone and not accompanied by the third member of their triad.

“He hadn’t gone back to your dorm?” She wrung her hands together, starting to grow worried over the whereabouts of Ominis Gaunt.

Sebastian shook his head, throwing an arm around her shoulder. “No he hadn’t. But we’ll find him, love. There’s one spot neither of us checked yet and I’m certain that’s where he is.”

She was silent as she allowed Sebastian to lead her up to the seventh floor, and he gave her a reassuring smile once the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy came into view.

“Of course,” she thought, a relieved smile settling on her face.

She had shown both boys her version of the Room of Requirement, and she had also informed them how they could access it without her, at the end of their sixth year. The trio had spent many days and nights utilizing it for studying for the test they just finished, and promptly destressing with the beasts in the vivariums or in the bedroom that the room so graciously provided after they had all slept on the floor and woken up with aching bones.

As they walked into the familiar room, MC deflated when her missing boyfriend wasn’t on the main couch. He wasn’t in the bed they’d share either, where she was hoping to find him cozy and wrapped up in blankets.

Sebastian knew exactly where they’d find Ominis as soon as he had realized the blond would be in their Room. He waited patiently for MC to check their bed before he offered a hand to her.

“C’mon, love. You didn’t actually think he’d pick a bed over his favorite room, hmm?”

She tilted her head as she looked at him, but she took his hand regardless. The second they walked into the grassland vivarium, home of the puffskeins, nifflers, and mooncalves that MC had rescued over the last three years, all of her previous anxieties melted away.

Usually, when any of the three of them entered, the beasts swarmed them eagerly looking for a brushing and some other attention. Today, however, none of them left the picnic blanket that was laid out in the middle of the green field. Though, ‘blanket’ felt like too small a descriptor. It was almost like a ship’s sail with how large it was. Laying in the middle of everything else, with none other than The Irondale Pilferer on his stomach, slept Ominis. MC grabbed Sebastian’s arm tightly, resisting the urge to ruin the scene in front of them.

“Oh he looks so peaceful,” she murmured, looking up at Sebastian with wide eyes. “I-I mean it would be rude of us to wake him, no?”

Sebastian chuckled, shaking his head slightly. “After the stress he put you through, and then the stress that you put me through? No. He can wake up for five minutes. He falls asleep like it’s nothing.”

He practically dragged MC towards the blanket, letting her go to squat down and rub at his boyfriend’s chest and shoulder.

“Ominis. Wake up, darling,” he crooned softly, not wanting to startle him awake. His smile widened when he was graced with the sight of his favorite shade of blue. “There you are. Hello, sleepyhead. We searched the whole castle for you, you know.”

The blond simply made a soft grunt in acknowledgment as he sat and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. The niffler that was forced to relocate seemed to huff in annoyance, moving to curl up in the corner where his mate was basking.

“What do you mean you searched the whole castle for me? I only just got here.”

“No, darling, we couldn’t find you after I finished my exam. I got worried. We were supposed to meet in the courtyard.”

He turned towards MC’s voice, his cheeks flushing a lovely shade of pink.

“Oh. Right. I suppose I forgot. I just wanted some time with the creatures after NEWTs. I only meant to come up for a moment.”

“It’s alright. We found you. Sebastian claims he knew you’d be here when he didn’t find you in your dorm. I was less convinced.”

MC moved so she could rest her head on Ominis’ shoulder. His arm immediately wrapped around her waist and he pressed a kiss to her head. It made sense that she’d be more worried out of his two partners. She still carried that anxiety that people were after her from fifth year, and that concern now applied to him and Sebastian now as well.

“I’m sorry, darling. I didn’t mean to worry you.”

“It’s alr–” she was cut off by a yawn, and she instinctively moved herself closer to Ominis. “It’s alright. I can’t blame you. I think you might’ve had the right idea.”

Sebastian chuckled, now sat on Ominis’ other side, and his arm went around the blond’s waist.

“We realize that you’ve already gotten a bit of a cat nap in, Omi, but perhaps you could indulge us and we could all take a nap.”

He promptly moved and laid down, offering himself up as a pillow and collecting his and MC’s discarded robes to be his own. MC grinned, laying down on Sebastian’s chest and pulling Ominis down with her.

“Seb’s right. We’ve worked hard. Our academic careers are over. We’ve earned one last nap in our place.”

Ominous shook his head, but he couldn’t fight the smile that graced his lips when they teamed up against him. He moved closer to MC, throwing an arm over her as he felt Sebastian’s hand tangling in his hair.

“I suppose another nap won’t hurt. We don’t have anywhere else to be.”

In the warmth of the sun and the comfort of each other, the three eventually drifted off.

One of my favorite story telling tricks is a story that has some really fucked up/and or sad things that are not dwelt upon or expanded on because That Is Not The Assignment and instead you're just left to think about it after the fact. This is fucking catnip for my brain every single time.

Given this OBVIOUSLY I am fully obsessed with Teveri and Avra's early relationship-- there's no fucking way Avra didn't accidentally shatter Teveri's heart into pieces like. Multiple times. Technically speaking this is heavily implied in Running Close to the Wind but god... the unspoken details! The way it must have gone down! The whole Nightingale sail situation!!!!!!!!!!!

There isn't a timeline for this of course, but I think it's fair to assume that by the time Avra wins the Nightingale sail they've known each other for a few years but they're also still fairly young. Let's say like, 22-25 years old. Tev and Avra have probably been fucking and having a reasonably good time but also, you know, Avra always goes back to his job at the end of the day. THEN!! Avra wins the Nightingale sail and instead of keeping it or selling it and fucking off into the world's earliest retirement he gives it to Teveri. This has to have felt like the Scuttle Cove version of getting down on one knee with a 50 carat diamond ring. Why would Avra be giving Teveri something like that if he wasn't intending to quit his job and join Teveri's crew??? And of course Teveri doesn't say any of this because why would they? It's very obvious! Literally all their crew joined after running away from their old lives! This is how being a pirate works!!!!

Meanwhile Avra has no idea what's in Teveri's head and is just like... maybe if I can Provide Enough Value these people will keep being my friends :) :) :) I am 22 years old and haven't had a relationship that wasn't transactional on some level in 15 years :) Is this useful enough??? Can I still hang out with you sometimes???????????? I am the world's saddest weirdest weasel. I love you so much I hope I can bribe you into tolerating me some more :) :) :)

And then at some point after this Avra fucks back off to do his job some more and Tev is like. DEVASTATED. And pissed!!! And confused!! THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SPRING WEDDING!! WHAT IS GOING ON????????

Even worse Avra comes back expecting everything to be the same!!!!! And of course Teveri would never admit to having their heart broken. And then the whole thing plays out again and again until Teveri is finally where they’re at when the book begins. It's so awful and it's so good for me.

#running close to the wind #it shall now live in my heart forever next to cardcaptor sakura #no i will not be elaborating on that particular point #hmmmm only ten people will understand this #but avra is like #if clematis wasn't insanely beautiful lol #if you know you know #well meaning boys with attachment disorders who don't perceive their own value!!!#meta

Some thoughts on Wild Blue Yonder:

I fucking love this kind of thing - Midnight is one of my favourite episodes - so this was basically catnip to me.

It's hilarious to me that this was a (presumably) quite expensive episode that could equally have been achieved in the 60s.

Honestly I'd kind of love to watch the zero-budget black and white version as well.

"My arms are too long" was deliciously creepy. The line between things that are genuinely frightening and things that kids will enjoy freaking out over was trodden very well.

Deeply enjoying the sense of RTD unleashed that we're getting in these episodes. If in his first stint as showrunner, he ever did any self-censoring for fear of Daily Mail reviews, those days are GONE.

Exploring the impact of Flux and the Timeless Child instead of just moving on like it's a Voyager storyline... is RTD writing fix-it fic here? If so, I'm here for it.

WILF!!

I can't wait for Ncuti Gatwa but am also genuinely sad that we only get one further episode with this TARDIS crew.

Hi again! I’m the anon that asked if you could elaborate about the Jongho statement. Thanks for taking the time to explain! In addition to your bullet point about how Seonghwa doesn’t mind the term ‘wife’, have you seen how he’s openly accepting of being called ‘mom’ or ‘mommy’? I really love how Seonghwa doesn’t fall into the stereotypical traits of masculinity. I find his mentality of just doing him like wearing whatever he wants now to be one of the many reasons I love him! Do you think he would ever come out or make an announcement about being queer? This is totally getting into just my own personal thoughts but I get mixed feelings with Seonghwa where I think he is queer or if he’s just more in tune with his feminine side. What do you think?

OK so this is where being a Korean person in Korea who is fluent in English and well versed in American pop culture (up to a point) hits a limit. I actually don't understand what you guys are doing when you do the whole 'mommy' and 'mother' thing. The cultural position of Mother in Korea is completely asexual , and self-abnegating in the Giving Tree style - she is the one who sacrifices, who care-takes, who suffers in silence, is all accepting and never critical. (Personally this is why I think so many of us Korean women are refusing to become mothers, bc this role fucking sucks as defined.)

But when you guys say Mother - it means something else, doesn't it? So if Seonghwa is happy to hear it, maybe he understands what you're getting at?

In any case, I think he's actually queer and that's why he is willing to show himself in touch with his feminine side. You can have a gentle and soft persona off-stage, and many many many Korean boy idols absolutely cultivate exactly that image, without going over into being actually as feminine or queer as Seonghwa has done.

Moreover, to be super cynical about this, it's a pretty clever marketing strategy for someone who wants to have a long term show business career when his home base is Korean women. Because Korean culture is so confrontational, energetic and competitive, us tired modern women are desperate for the relaxing, the harmless, the soft, and the gentle in men. Being able to present yourself as the super-handsome, wild-on-stage man who, off-stage, in a fantasy version of 'real life,' is at heart a fastidious, soft-spoken good girl just like you? ABSOLUTE CATNIP. Also, so smart! It helps him differentiate himself from the rest of his group too, who tend to stay within established masculine roles. Wooyoung dancing in a skirt or Yeosang being very pretty isn't the same as being feminine, to me.

This isn't what you asked, but I will also add: Seonghwa puts on the 'soft spoken' voice which isn't his actual speaking voice. Wooyoung, who is irrepressible and competitive, has expertly imitated the 'muted' voice effect that Seonghwa does when speaking to Atiny in one of their behind the scenes things right after Seonghwa said something, asking' Why can't you just talk using your normal voice?' for example. Wooyoung exposed him on the spot like that, because he knows it's very seductive to Korean women lol.

OH and - you actually asked this - do I think he'll ever come out? And actually announce like, hi, I'm gay/bi/pan and this is my boyfriend? I mean, it doesn't seem likely, but if you know anything about Korea, you'll know that when we experience a shift, the shift is abrupt, fast and complete. So I wouldn't rule it out, but I will say - I feel myself to be living in very mainstream Korean middle class society, and I work for a very big corporation, I live in Seoul, and I don't know a single out person from work, school, social network, or church in my real life. It's a chicken and egg thing, but I do think that until more ordinary, every day queer people can come out, and like date in public like straights do, people who need to stay on the right side of public opinion, like idols and actors, wouldn't be ok coming out until the 'main' time of their career is over.

#ask #kpop ask #seonghwa #park seonghwa #atz #ateez meta #ateez seonghwa #sorry for this giant ass essay #i've been steadily accumulating information about this group and this performer on my own for months #and now when you ask me one question i answer ten additional ones

WIP WEDNESDAY

This is your daily reminder that there should be more Bonnie & Caroline friendship in fics, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

“God, I’m so excited for Tyler to finally be able to come home.”

“He won’t have to take orders from Klaus when he’s dead, that’s for sure,” Bonnie muttered. She glanced up when Caroline remained quiet, frowning slightly. “Elena mentioned he invited you to the ball? Why would Klaus do that?”

Caroline scowled up at the ceiling, annoyed by the direction the conversation had taken. “I have no idea.”

Bonnie stopped looking through the grimoire. “Well, what did he want last night?”

“I don’t know.” Caroline shrugged, a little lost, throwing a hand up. “He asked me to dance, we talked, he showed me his artwork-”

“Artwork?” Bonnie echoed.

Caroline frowned slightly, worrying her lip.

“Yeah, he’s an artist, I guess,” she tried to shrug off, like it wasn’t a big deal. Even serial killers had hobbies, right? She didn’t mention the drawing he’d done of her - nope, not happening. She scoffed, shaking her head. “I’m pretty sure interpol has half his art collection listed as stolen or missing - like the feds would have a field day if they raided that place.”

“So he asked you to dance, spent time with you, showed you his personal art collection…” Her best friend paused, slowly closing the grimoire, eyeing Caroline critically. “...like a date?”

Caroline shot up into a sitting position, glaring at Bonnie.

“It was NOT a date,” she hissed, slicing her hands through the air, as if to ward the accusation off. “There was no ‘dating’ of any kind.”

Bonnie’s eyes widened a fraction and she deliberately turned her gaze back to the grimoire.

“Sounds like a date to me,” she muttered under her breath, opening the book back up.

Caroline tried to push the memory of Klaus admitting he fancied her out of her head, something fluttering in her stomach.

“He was just cozying up to me to get to Elena,” she tried to excuse. Her eyes shot to Bonnie, pleading with her to agree. “Right?”

Bonnie sighed, regarding her sadly. “Is it really that impossible to consider that a guy may actually like you?”

“Bonnie,” Caroline carefully enunciated, “It’s Klaus.”

Her friend rolled her eyes, closing the grimoire again and throwing it to the side. “Yeah, obviously I’m not saying you should date him, Caroline. I’m just saying you’re,” she shrugged, gesturing to all of her, “you know, a catch. Any guy would be lucky to have you.”

Bonnie leaned forward, grasping Caroline’s hands in hers as she smiled softly. Touched, Caroline couldn’t help but smile back.

“Hell,” Bonnie continued, “Tyler doesn’t even deserve you after he left you for dead in the woods and then ghosted you.”

“He’s trying to break the sire bond for me, Bonnie,” Caroline pointed out, her glare half-hearted. Secretly, her friend’s fierce protectiveness warmed her heart.

“Even so,” Bonnie conceded, letting go of Caroline’s hands, “it was a dick move, one he made on your birthday of all days. You don’t have to excuse him all the time.”

Caroline sighed - Bonnie was right. She let her head fall into her hands, running her fingers anxiously through her hair. Biting her lip, she looked back up at Bonnie.

“And if Klaus does actually…like me?” she asked quietly.

Sheepishly, Bonnie smiled, the expression halfway to a wince. “Start growing wolfsbane in the garden?”

“Would that even work on a hybrid?”

“He’s part werewolf, right?” Bonnie shrugged, picking up her grimoire again. A wicked smile curled around the corners of her face. “You’d assume so.”

Caroline shook her head, grinning too as she pulled out her phone. “Guess I need to google where I can get wolfsbane from, then,” she said, like it was a great chore.

Ok, you mentioned Akai Shuichi dating/being the sugar baby of the Kudos in a reblog notes, give me the details please as I also have believed in that theory for the past goddamn three years but had no one else to talk to about it

HI. Hello friend (we are now friends automatically because of this). Sorry it took me [checks watch] 2 weeks to reply, I have very low spoons even on things I am VERY EXCITED ABOUT, and then @soveryanon was planning anyway to make this post soon so I decided to wait until she did bc I knew she would lay down all the touchpoints from canon.

So, all that! ^ We both p much share the same headcanons on this, but to babble on:

I firmly believe the Kudous are open/swingers/polyamorous, in general. (Hello Vermouth, Touichi, idk if Yukiko has managed to convince Eri bc it doesn't seem like Eri's thing but she would certainly love to, etc.) I know that canonically they fight or get jealous sometimes about the other flirting with other people, but look, first of all we can do what we want, secondly, that's not even a hard canon-incompatibility anyway, polyamorous relationships can have established rules and boundaries and (re)negotiations and their versions of cheating or jealousy too. Maybe Yukiko was just mad that one time bc Yuusaku had been hitting on an ex of hers while drunk, that doesn't mean they don't have threesomes all the time.

I think Akai is casually polyamorous, too. I know he canonically said that thing about not being able to love 2 women at once, bUT, bc the exact sentence in jpn is "二人の女を同時に愛せるほど器用な性分じゃないんでね", and 器用な means "skilled/skillful" and generally seems to be a very positive word. I like to take it as in Akai thinks it takes a lot of skill, you gotta be good to manage that.

~3+ years later and some practice with an experienced polyamorous couple he is now that good --

Alternately, since yes the original sentence is specifically about 2 women, you could make the joke that oh but 1 woman and 1 man at the same time is fair game tho. That'd be his sort of deadpan humour, I think.

Also and on the same sort of line of thinking: I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about Akai's emotions and love life. I can easily see him as happily and casually aroace who likes people and likes dating and likes having sex, as a way to connect and have intimacy with people. I also like to see him as a type of demiromantic that is just a total bleeding heart, who keeps falling in love the second he gets too close and knows it and knew he was gonna fall for Akemi for real if he did this seriously.

All this being said, I don't think he's in love with the Kudous, and vise versa. It's a casual, light-hearted, really nice and really affectionate thing stemming from genuine interest and respect, and there may well be flowers and candle-lit baths involved, and Yuusaku might instant-click with Akai nearly as well as Shinichi does, but it's not a romantic soulmates thing. It's just that in all my different possible views of Akai's love life, I think he just really likes people and having relationships (of any sort of manner) with people. (He's often characterised as a sullen loner but that is NOT true, he's surrounded with people constantly as Subaru, he chitchats easily with people, he visits the neighbour, he cooks for kids!!)

The absolute intimacy inherent to so much of the original set-up of "Subaru". The fact that Yukiko must be touching his face and hair all the time for the disguise, that this is how they met (since Akai doesn't seem to remember the beach incident).

That Yuusaku accepted to let his wife go every couple weeks to do this, multiple times, for a man he's never met, when Yukiko clearly came back GUSHING about the guy, when as I said above we know the teasing about checking out/flirting with other people is a big thing they squabble about -- that's so freaking huge, even keeping in mind that the canon prrrobably? isn't intending to hint that Yuusaku wouldn't mind his wife banging that younger man?

That Yuusaku DISGUISED AND ACTED as this man? whom he's apparently still never met at that point (could be a lie to Bourbon but who knows!!)?? but whom his son and wife really like??

The fact that Yuusaku wrote and published an entire thing about this man. Whom he's apparently never met. Just from hearing Yukiko (and maybe Shinichi? doubt.jpg) talk about him. Not only that, but wrote super fast considering the fucking timeline of DetCo lmao, and it was his first time writing a screenplay so Akai inspired him to do something entirely new, not something any of his editors would have been hounding him about (in fact, likely odds that his editors would have been screaming why and wanting him to do something else like a new book of his established series). And it was immediately picked up and made into a movie!!

And won an award!!

And Yuusaku skipped on attending that ceremony himself -- his first award for his first screenplay -- to go take huge risks helping out this guy instead.

A reminder that Yuusaku got involved in Black Org business involving protecting the lives of a FBI agent and also an infiltrated CIA agent by fucking with a member of the National Police Agency secret security of his own country.

For this guy he doesn't know but his son and his wife really like.

I'm going insane

(And then the aforementioned beach incident of Wizard of the Ripples gave us Akai and Yuusaku doing the adorable thing of two detectives solving the same thing at the same time with the same reasonings, which is always extremely shippy and gay. And THEN the two of them teaming up AGAINST CONAN. And and and.)

The setting also just. means it's all about domesticity and Akai's healing arc and living with a couple who've been together and married for nearly 2 decades and clearly still have intense sex multiple times a week, and live an insane and glamorous but also very cushy and tranquil life. That's just. So nice to give to poor beaten-up little meow meow Akai Shuuichi, and quite funny to give to weird polite funny lil grad student Okiya Subaru. We see him hanging out with Yukiko and Yuusaku wearing cozy sweaters and drinking tea. I want to see him sunning by a pool drinking margaritas with Yukiko and smoking with Yuusaku while nerding out about Holmes novels.

The fact that canonically Yukiko has been teaching him to cook??? That is so cute????? What???

Also this man likes strong and cool women and enjoys getting pegged, and Yukiko enjoys pegging, and Yuusaku loves watching his wife be cool and beautiful and have fun

I'M GOING INSANE THEY ARE SO MUCH AND IT'S ALL BACKGROUND OFFSCREEN AND THEY'RE SO FUNNY and conan must be suffering so much. MOM stop hitting on MY favourite adult!!!!

#detco #akai shuuichi #kudou polycule #long post #ot3 #polyamory #morgueofstories #i rememebr another friendo posted about this at the time too when i didn't even have the spoons to read it im off to dig that back out now

okay so PC Gamer just scattered a bunch of catnip for me with an article about What If Each Fallout Game Were A Movie, Who Would Direct It and I am going to read this live and judge it

because I'm having a relapse, we all understand this

A focused, mature, pressure cooker of a movie that is short and stylishly violent? Better call the director of John Wick to take the directorial reigns. Personally, I find Leitch's movies tend to have rather underwhelming final acts, too, and also have a penchant for ending abruptly when you feel more could have followed, so he's the perfect fit for a game that's incredible until it very quickly ends without much fanfare. John Wick movies don't tend to be very wacky either, often depicting the hero's world as very serious (despite the ludicrous premise of the fiction), so again this feels a strong and apt choice for the OG Fallout. A Friday night action movie.

HMMMMMM. I feel like I disagree on the mode I would want FO1 to be in. Like, yes, you can play it that way, but FO1 is famously one of the first games to make Speech arguably the most important skill to have in a video game, so I dunno. I love Leitch and feel like while his sense of realistic-yet-stunning action is a trademark, I think the use of locations is even more of his thing, and when I think about memorable locations, I think more of FO2 than FO1.

I feel like I would give FO1 to some hyper-realistic scumbag who is more obsessed with Process than Enterta-- oh. Nolan. gdi I'd give FO1 to Chris fucking Nolan, him whomst I loathe.

Who better to direct this expansive and often wacky depiction of the Fallout universe than the director responsible for epics such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 12 Monkeys, Brazil, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and The Man Who Killed Don Quixote? Gilliam loves a good road trip in his work, too, which fits with Fallout 2's Highwayman-based exploration, and his penchant for vast vistas with wacky and absurd details feels perfect. The combat scenes wouldn't be as slick as Leitch's Fallout movie, but characterisation and a more rambling, philosophical, off-beat narrative would deliver. Plus, Fallout 2 even has a Bridge Keeper encounter that directly references Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which Gilliam starred. Watch on a Saturday night for a bit of everything.

......... I straight up cannot argue with that. No notes.

For a movie based on a game that is focussed almost entirely on squad-based combat in urban environments, combat where soldiers die in terrible ways and the horrors of war are all too apparent, I feel the director of The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow is perfect for this. Fallout: Tactics would be a war movie with a very tight focus and strong characterisation for just a handul of lead characters. Tense and at times adrenaline-inducing due to the flashes of extreme violence, but interspersed with soul-searching dialogue from its grizzled, war-scarred leads, this would be an erudite and focused Fallout war movie. Watch on a Monday or Tuesday night.

Looking at Bigelow's list of works is how I just now learned she also did Strange Days, so I think it's fair to say that this is giving her way too small of a pick. Give her FO1 and give Leitch FOT.

It would be so bad. Forget about A-bombs, everyone in the movie would drop an F-bomb every other line. Don't watch on any night.

Fucking weak-ass pick. Think about the history of how FO:BoS happened, i.e. they were trying to slap the Fallout license onto a completely different style of game without any respect for the source material. They swapped out Nuka Cola for Bawls product placement.

Give it to Zack Synder.

As the game that properly introduced V.A.T.S. system slow-mo to the Fallout universe, with kill shots shown off in glorious bullet time, there can be only one director for a film version of Fallout 3: the master himself, John Woo. Woo's stellar action movie work in titles such as Hard Boiled, Broken Arrow, Face/Off and Mission Impossible 2, among others, means the action in this game is off the charts. Slow-mo radiated doves and all! Woo handles the post-apocalypse war vibes well, too, thanks to his work on Windtalkers, while he communicates the hero's awakening into the future thanks to previous on Paycheck. A good fit for Friday night, thanks to the action, or midday during the weekend due to a longish, war movie-style runtime.

.....................

holy shit i cannot argue with that, that's genius. absolutely fucking yes. i think that's a perfect fit.

also, like, FO3 and Woo have the same "problem" for me, in that they know exactly what they are doing, it's just not my cup of tea, but there is a solid identity there.

yeah, fucking do it, give FO3 to John Woo.

SHUT THE FUCK UP

WHO WROTE THIS ARTICLE, AND DID THEY WRITE IT FROM MY FUCKING ATTIC?!

Casinos, gritty environments, extreme violence and heist movie vibes mean I think of Guy Ritchie for this film adaptation. Ritchie's also a fan of slow-mo combat shots, too, so we've got the game's V.A.T.S. system represented well, too, while the game's macho factional warfare as undertaken by factions like Caesar's Legion and the NCR, is right in keeping with Ritchie's love of gang-based conflict. There's not much romance in New Vegas, either, which is a weak spot for Ritchie, but as shown in movies like Sherlock Holmes, Snatch, The Gentleman, and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, he's good at holding together movies with various interconnecting narratives. His work on Aladdin also shows he can handle the comedic and wacky aspects of New Vegas, too. A mid-week action-comedy treat.

/rubs face

I am unfortunately a massive fucking fan of Ritchie movies. this is so powerful.

i think........... Ritchie is so thoroughly uninterested in saying anything philosophically profound, you cannot give him The Most Profound Fallout Game. like, I want to love this idea, I really do, but no.

....................... You need someone with snappy dialogue that actually means something, who is willing to veer into borderline magical realism, who loves an overdressed set, and who can manage a lot of different characters with well-reasoned motivations.

I think you need Rian Johnson.

OR DO I JUST WANT RIAN JOHNSON TO MAKE A VERSION OF "DEAD MONEY" THAT DOESN'T SUCK? WHO COULD SAY.

I feel Ang Lee is a good choice for a Fallout 4 movie adaptation, having good form in handling large and sprawling fictions with plenty of characters and side-stories. Just look at films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Life of Pi as an example of this. He's got some form with action, too, thanks to his work on Hulk. There's probably more romance/relationship offering in Fallout 4 than in any other Fallout, and Ang Lee has form here too. The result, though, is a movie that ends up being a bit flabby and unfocussed at times, despite technically bringing more to the table than Fallout 3, and being funnier and lighter overall. Watch on a day off due to a chonky runtime.

what are you fucking talking about, Ang Lee's best movies are Brokeback and Sense & Sensibility, and his worst are probably Hulk and Gemini Man. Fallout 4 is the one where Bethesda just stopped pretending to give a shit about story and roleplaying, instead pivoting the game into a skinner box of tightly-honed but ultimately soulless mechanics.

I'm not even trying to mock Marvel, but I feel like the MCU's Design-By-Producer-And-Executive-Oversight is actually the answer here. It doesn't matter who directs it because the main voice will be a board room.

oh shut upppppp

Fallout Shelter would in some ways be the most obvious setup for a movie: the self-contained story of a vault-dwelling society, interspersed with the surface adventures of random dwellers. Sounds a bit like the TV show when you put it like that, which is why there's only one Nolan for the job: Christopher! Yes, fresh off Oppenheimer it is time for Oppenheimer 2, focusing on the aftermath of all-out nuclear war (hell, Cillian Murphy can even have a cameo as a brain in a jar, I'm that generous). Moody, intense, riven with twists you didn't see coming, and with all special effects done for realsies, this movie could only ever be rad. The only downside is that, like the TV show Silo, you'd spend an awful lot of time indoors.

absolutely fucking not. the thing about Nolan is that his shit is so meticulous, it like.... pitches past hyper-realism and lands in this weird uncanny valley of "he wouldn't fucking say that" but it's for a character you've only known for ten minutes.

FO: Shelter is about emergent storytelling that feels almost accidental rather than arranged or scripted. you need someone who is hands-off the script but can capture a.... good moment..............

oh god, it's JJ Abrams, isn't it? god dammit. or, frankly? Spielberg. so I'm saying no to the director i hate and offering instead two other directors i dislike, but for different reasons.

yeah. yep. that's what i'm doing.

SPITTAKE

As an MMO that takes many aspects of the Fallout universe to the extreme, it feels a movie version of Fallout 76 would be akin to a huge-budget, climatic MCU movie where it really helps if you've had previous with the series to get most enjoyment. As such, I feel the Russo brothers would take the reigns for Fallout 76. The result would be a jack-of-all-trades action-adventure that borrows bits of every previous Fallout to make something that appeals to a lot of people but, after watching, doesn't go down as something you'd rewatch for most all of them. Big, bright, wacky and action-filled, there's no doubting though that you get a spectacle and fun, though. Watch in two sittings over two nights (as the movie's runtime is 3 hours 47 minutes).

no. fuck you. i reject your premise. the Fallout game that shipped with no NPCs and expected the story to be entirely conveyed by set-pieces, environmental design, and audiologs?

resurrect Tarkovsky and give us FO76, desolate and beautiful with environmental shots that last seven minutes without a cut. because the only good thing about FO76 is the setting, the amount of effort put into building the actual space, so I want 90 minutes of film and seven pages of script.

Russo Brothers, get tf out of here

i asked sonic this, but again mostly unrelated to the catnip incident; what would you do if you met alternate versions of yourself?

Hm..... I guess the first thing I would need to do is assess if any of my versions were...not meaning well. So I could deal with them immediately. I dont need any alternate universe Shadows trying to take over the world or blow it up or whatever me-but-slightly-to-the-left is even capable of. After that... I think it would be worth comparing our worlds, our histories, see if theres anything useful that may help in our world. Like lets say one Shadow happens to be from a universe where they successfully completed Project Shadow, and got everything they needed out of him. I'd want that tech. Stat. Even if it's too late for.... the person it was intended for, there are still people who need that science.

Catnap

Word Count: ~1.0k

Repost from original blog @/pluvpluvpluv

Sebastian Sallow x f!MC x Ominis Gaunt

A/N: A silly little Drabble to contribute to the collective catnip prompt. Enjoy Omi scaring the shit out of his partners

“He hadn’t gone back to your dorm?” She wrung her hands together, starting to grow worried over the whereabouts of Ominis Gaunt.

Sebastian shook his head, throwing an arm around her shoulder. “No he hadn’t. But we’ll find him, love. There’s one spot neither of us checked yet and I’m certain that’s where he is.”

She was silent as she allowed Sebastian to lead her up to the seventh floor, and he gave her a reassuring smile once the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy came into view.

“Of course,” she thought, a relieved smile settling on her face.

Sebastian knew exactly where they’d find Ominis as soon as he had realized the blond would be in their Room. He waited patiently for MC to check their bed before he offered a hand to her.

“C’mon, love. You didn’t actually think he’d pick a bed over his favorite room, hmm?”

Usually, when any of the three of them entered, the beasts swarmed them eagerly looking for a brushing and some other attention. Today, however, none of them left the picnic blanket that was laid out in the middle of the green field. Though, ‘blanket’ felt like too small a descriptor. It was almost like a ship’s sail with how large it was. Laying in the middle of everything else, with none other than The Irondale Pilferer on his stomach, laid Ominis. MC grabbed Sebastian’s arm tightly, resisting the urge to ruin the scene in front of them.

“Oh he looks so peaceful,” she murmured, looking up at Sebastian with wide eyes. “I-I mean it would be rude of us to wake him, no?”

He practically dragged MC towards the blanket, letting her go to squat down and rub at his boyfriend’s chest and shoulder.

“What do you mean you searched the whole castle for me? I only just got here.”

“No, darling, we couldn’t find you after I finished my exam. I got worried. We were supposed to meet in the courtyard.”

He turned towards MC’s voice, his cheeks flushing a lovely shade of pink.

“Oh. Right. I suppose I forgot. I just wanted some time with the creatures after NEWTs. I only meant to come up for a moment.”

“It’s alright. We found you. Sebastian claims he knew you’d be here when he didn’t find you in your dorm. I was less convinced.”

“I’m sorry, darling. I didn’t mean to worry you.”

“It’s alr–” she was cut off by a yawn, and she instinctively moved herself closer to Ominis. “It’s alright. I can’t blame you. I think you might’ve had the right idea.”

Sebastian chuckled, now sat on Ominis’ other side, and his arm went around the blond’s waist.

“We realize that you’ve already gotten a bit of a cat nap in, Omi, but perhaps you could indulge us and we could all take a nap.”

“Seb’s right. We’ve worked hard. Our academic careers are over. We’ve earned one last nap in our place.”

“I suppose another nap won’t hurt. We don’t have anywhere else to be.”

In the warmth of the sun and the comfort of each other, the three eventually drifted off.

Anon talking about squicks being very personal and subjective, and not necessarily related to kink or darker stories, made me think of sharing one of my squicks:

I can't stand time travel in any story.

I have such a visceral nope reaction to it even when I like the canon otherwise and I'll avoid anything from movies to fic if it has time travel. There is no immediate reason I've been able to find that explains why I nope out so hard, but my squick for time travel has been there even when growing up with Star Trek-enjoying parents.

Very much a squick! Also not related to sex whatsoever.

(Also, to make it even stranger and more specific, time loop stories are my catnip.)

I loathe most time travel stories. A lot of them strike me as fridge horror or just annoy me in various complicated ways.

Time loops have a certain underlying theme (at least most of the time) of there being one "correct" and final timeline and the characters needing to correct things to achieve it. I've actually enjoyed a bunch of very un-sciencey time travel stories that operate on a similar basis, often with characters magically getting the memories that they "should" have had in the version of the timeline they ended up in instead of being forever a stranger with a familiar face pretending to be this other version of themselves.

NYAA[ニャー] Japanese sound a cat makes

For those that managed to survive from the early days into the later games I wanted to do a little side by side to show off just how dramatically the design sensibilities changed. Those first two games made the Mews kind of horrid, but I adore the much more prominent ragdoll look they ended up with; the fabric textures, exposed seems, and button eyes really help them stand out

WAN[ワン] the Japanese version of the sound a dog makes, an appropriate parallel to Nyaa

MAMA-NYAA[ママニャー]

MIMI-NYAA[ミミニャー] MIMI[耳]: "ears"

BATH-NYAA[バスニャー]

KING[キング] This is actually a reference to the Tecmo fightin game, Tokidenshou Angel Eyes. The character Marie Arisugawa fights with her teddybear, King Gorgonia III.

SENSHU[センシュ] from SENSHU[選手]: "Player(of a sport)/Athlete"

SUNPLAZA[サンプラザ] maybe after the musician SunPlaza Nakano-kun[サンプラザ中野くん]??

KAIPAN[カイパン] from KAIPAN[海パン] lit. "Ocean Pan(ts)" as in swimtrunks, or I assume any kind of swimsuit, considering the model is clearly wearing a race speedo and not swim shorts.

KONTA[コンタ] I'm really not sure about this one... It seems like the name KONTA does show up in relation to stories with foxes, but I'm not entirely sure why.

KAME-KICHI[カメキチ] from KAME[亀]: "turtle" and KICHI[キチ]: "maniac/enthusiast"

NYAKKIRI[ニャッキリ] from KIRIN[麒麟]: "giraffe"

BAMBI-NYA[バンビーニャ] from Felix Salten's Bambi, or perhaps the Disney movie based thereon.

BUU-CHIN[ブーチン] from BUUBUU[ブーブー] Japanese version of like a pig oink and CHIN[チン] the sound of a snort.

KERO[ケロ] the sound a frog makes. I do sort of wish they'd kept up the theme of just naming each new animal variation after the noise they make to mirror Nyaa

NYARUDAA[ニャルダー] no idea who this is in reference to but it's some kind of pop idol

NEKO-BOU[ネコボー] NEKO[猫]: "cat" and... I don't know... the design is such a generic little rural outdoorsy boy on summer break from school mundane small town adventure type look that I can't really pin point at as anything specific

NYA-SEIJIN[ニャセイジン] SEIJIN[星人]: "-alien". Lit. "Person (from) Planet Nya"

MOCHI-NYAN[モチニャン]

BOW-BOW[バウバウ] a very sensible replacement for the new/tiger. Honestly a little surprised we didn't get it sooner.

MIKE-NYA[ミケニャー]: MIKE[三毛]: "calico"

SAI-NYAALER[サイニャーラ] SAI[犀]: "rhinoceros" and SAI-ROLLER

ANT-NYA[アントニャ]

SKULL-NYAA[スカルニャー]

YOROSHIKU-NYAN[ヨロシクニャン] YOROSHIKU[夜露死苦] the way you'd introduce yourself in a kind of formal or professional setting, commonly translated loosely as "please take care of me/best regards/pleased to meet you" depending on context. Kouhai to senpai kind of dynamic

KOAKU-NYAA[コアクニャー] from KOAKUMA[小悪魔]: "little devil/imp"

NYAN-BAT[ニャンバット] the design is a reference to Go Nagai's DevilMan

KAMO-NYAN[カモニャン] KAMO[鴨]: "duck"

GRAY-NYAA[グレニャー]

KUMA-NYAA[クマニャー] KUMA[熊]: "bear"

HALLOWNYAN[ハロニャン] from HALLOWEEN

MOKO-NYAN[モコニャン] from MOKOMOKO[モコモコ] meaning fluffy

SUZUNYAN[スズニャン] from SUZUME[雀]: "Sparrow"

NYATAROU[ニャタロー] from KINTAROU[金太郎] the hero of Japanse myth, a little boy with immense strength

IWA-NYAA[イワニャー] IWA[岩]: "Rock/Boulder"

MOCHI-NYAN[モチニャン]

DRA-DRA[ドラドラ] from DRAGON

TARABAGA-NYA[タラバガニャ] from TARABAGANI[たらば蟹]: "red king crab"

NYAMONOHASHI[ニャモノハシ] KAMONOHASHI[鴨の嘴]: "platypus"

RUNNYER[ランニャー] ROAD RUNNER NYA

NYAAGA-NO-TSUKAI[ニャーガノツカイ] NYA+NAGA and ...-NO-TSUKAI[...の使い]: "user of.../holder of .."

MOGU-NYAN[モグニャン] from MOGY and MOGU[潜]: "dive/go underneath/sneak"

NEKO-MINT[ネコミント] NEKO[猫]: "cat" so "Catmint" as in catnip

METAL-NYAN[メタルニャン]

MAJO-NYAN[マジョーニャン] MAJO[魔女]; "witch"

MOMO-NYA[モモンニャ] MOMO[桃]: "peach/pink"

MARINYA[マリニャー] MARINE NYA

KAGE-NEKO[カゲネコ] KAGE[影]: "Shadow" and NEKO[猫]: "cat"

NYAAEMON[ニャーエモン] I assume this is a DORAEMON reference given the Antlan color scheme

SHIRO-KUMA-NEKO[シロクマネコ] SHIROKUMA[白熊]: "Polar bear" (lit."white bear") and NEKO[猫]: "cat"

BALALAINYA[バラライニャ] from BALALAIKA[バラライカ]

BASTET-NYA[バステトニャ] from BASTET the Egyptian cat headed goddess

NEKOMATA[ネコマタ] from NEKOMATA[猫又] a cat yokai with a split tail and magic powers

SHISHI-NYAA[シシニャー] from SHISHI[獅子]; "lion"

NYAPPARAI[ニャッパライ] from YOPPARAI[酔っ払い]: "drunkard"

SHIRO-NYAA[シロニャー] SHIRO[白]: "white"

And then a few new additions from the LINE monster farm mobile game,

INARI[イナリ] from INARI[稲荷] the Japanese harvest goddess, traditionally heralded by foxes

MERRY-BEAR[メリーベア] the christmas special

NYASTER[ニャースター] presumably, from the egg and Spring seasonal debut, it's meant to be "Nyaa"+"Easter"
