because of my rescue cats, and because Reo's rich, please think of this with me.
Reo wanted a pet, so he was given a cat. some high pedigree, beautiful, insanely expensive kitten from high breeding and luxurious fur. a beautiful proper 'mew' and very graceful. probably has a diamond studded collar or smth too.
enter, you: the love of Reo's life, whose cats come with none of that. the first time he meets your cat, your baby, it's a bit of class whiplash to his face. He didn't really think about how "top tier" his darling cat was, he basically thought "cat's a cat"
Until your cat, who's just a big, orange striped, kind of wonky looking cat you found on death's door after being abandoned with a broken back that was untreated and healed Wrong, torn up ears, health complications, can't jump, wobbles harshly as it walks, and sounds a bit like a broken honk instead of a meow.
For some reason Reo goes from down bad to down worse. Seeing you with this poster cat for 'mangy stray that's been kicked too many times' and proudly introducing him, like this is your greatest treasure, with far more lasting love than all the jewelry he's gifted you, makes him love you even more.
admittedly, i've been a little selfish bc i wanted to let this ask marinate itself in my inbox so i could cherish it forever and keep it in here when i inevitably respond to it... but it's time to share this thought with everyone :,((( more comments in tags anon !
no bc this thought is so... beautiful. the very clear divide between your lifestyles manifesting through the damn cats you own. that's not to say your situation is dire or anything along those lines, but anyone- compared to reo, could look far off. especially this cat that you are now holding in your arms.
he's in your apartment after coming back from a date, hoping just to hangout and watch a movie or something when he meets your cat. the purple-haired hasn't ever seen it before, only knowing that you got him from a shelter when it was around seven years old - older than most pet owners get their cats. it's... beat up to say the least, and reo frowns just thinking about what it must have gone through to end up with a partially scratched off ear, a limp, and as many health complications as you told reo about.
but clearly, none of the cat's complications matter when it mewls happily, brushing against your legs. it's with a coo that you pick it up, cradling it in your arms, showering it with undivided love and affection as the cat similarly leans itself into you, so trusting and vulnerable in your warmth. it begins purring the second you scratch behind its ears.
reo feels his heart squeeze at the sight, rendering itself utterly helpless to your charm and kindness. he knows how hard it is to get a cat to trust people, even as kittens, so he can't imagine how many hoops you had to jump through to get a grown cat to love you back. the journey could not have been easy, especially with how rough this cat's life has been.
it feels like 6 out of 9 of them have been used up, but reo feels warmed knowing that at least it'll have an incredible 3 with you.
he knows because even though reo may not have 9 lives, you make his one feel indescribable.

Me thinking about those dirty autonomons (commuting to work)
Me filling out mission reports and requisition forms for my anti materiel rifle (working at my job)
Me applying for the front lines (commuting home)
Me being sent out and defrosting from the transport (turning on my pc and queuing for the servers)
Me finally being able to serve Super Earth and spread managed democracy across the known universe by stomping bug heads and recycling autonomons (playing the game)

im about to become pretentious and gatekeepy about dungeon meshi. i just saw a post basically whittling marcille down to the Girltm of the party and im going to start killing. she is so well written and such a well rounded and crafted character. i dont understand the current obsession with the men of dungeon meshi and creating a ship culture around dm... it is a story about siblings, about learning to take care of your community, it is about life and death. it is about loss and grieving. it is a story about finding a place for yourself. it is a story about commitment and friendship and dedication and loyalty. it is about love in every sense of the word. it is about food as a love language, acts of service, living well. it is so much more than what ive seen it whittled down to and it breaks my heart.

anyway thats all, i replayed oneshot for the 5th time yesterday so i am looking at it autistically
go buy it, its like 5 bucks and always on sale and will (i promise) be one of the most interesting gameplay and story games youve played and you Will cry at the end.
theres 3 endings a lot of funny easter eggs and a lot of really cool game files shit that you have to navigate to solve puzzles and get extra lore.
(if you can play it i reccomend, if you are physically unable to play it- watch it, but it isnt nearly as emotionally impactful)
