actually natori has some kind of tracking talisman on matoba at all times. that's how he knew where to abduct matoba from for Operation: Kitty Cat City. matoba fully knows about it; it's why he wasn't at all surprised to find a paper doll in natsume's hair after the mask youkai debacle (matoba internally as he watched it fly away: classic mother hen shuuichi-san momence 🥰). because this is matoba "boundaries? what are those? can you eat them?" seiji we're talking about, he's not bothered by this "violation" of his "privacy"; rather, he finds it fittingly clingy (it is, after all, only right that natori should be keeping tabs on him obsessively). sometimes the talisman gets confused and sticks to yesterday's outfit, so he always checks to make sure he has it on the way out the door (his pocket patdown is "keys, lighter, wallet, exorcism supplies, shuuichi-san's cute lil tracker he thinks i don't know about <3"). i wouldn't be surprised if he's figured out how to uno reverse it and now uses it to track natori's location as well. this may not technically be canon but it is probably all 100% true in an important way that transcends canon, we just never hear about it because it isn't relevant to natsume's journey 😌

Illustration for ch20 of my fic, Family of Four

(part of The Cat and His Family series)

[A series of interconnected double drabbles from Touko’s POV, set shortly after Truth Out.] Now that the Fujiwaras know of Natsume’s secret and Madara’s true identity, the four of them can grow into a family stronger and truer than before.

Sorry i don't know how to draw grown ass men (my friend held me at gunpoint to draw the judgement ones, the heterosexual lighting one is from the summer i am getting trained to draw kaito) My early Christmas gift to my beloveds <3 i'll also post again in some hours :3

[warriorfujoshi]

I always want to talk about translation and localisation but I’m afraid that something I say will leave my circle and be interpreted as “different from source material = should be criticised” like no!!! No!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!! I need a forum signature or something that says this user loves when translators find creative ways to preserve the spirit of the text and is pointing out these differences not to heckle but in an attempt to understand the way the minds of the official translators work !!!

[astrxealis]

sometimes i think abt my enstars faves jun and natsume and how they both. just kinda make up G’raha Tia

[kiw-ee]

hehe now CRY !!!!

i like ruining peoples live bc I had a shit day so it's ur problem now

the cat is natsume (who is so underated btw)

[noose-lion]

will you tell me about your warriors au

I think about this crack au too often. Anyway, sorry it took me so long to type this up!!!

Not gonna lie making a comic with this concept would heal me in a way.

So our clans are Dayclan (Special Division), Nightclan (Port Mafia), Duskclan (Ada) and Dawnclan (Guild but also a few Doa members). Instead of living in the forest or around a lake, these clans live on the edge of a port town.

The Order of the Clock Tower are basically going to be Bloodclan btw, the Hunting dogs minus Tachihara are the Pack.

Obviously, Tiger later known as Tigermoon (Atsushi) is our protagonist. He's a former kittypet, that lived in a orphanage, fed and taken care of by the children. The old caretaker died and was replaced by a cruel man. Tiger was protective of the children and tried to defend them, the cruel man hurt him badly and locked him in the basement. He barely survived, and nearly starved he escaped out a broken window.

He was eventually found by an eccentric cat who called himself a warrior of Duskclan. Things Tiger only knew of as fables.

The following events are more or less a fusion of warriors and bsd.

Any connection has been lost to Starclan (basically replacing the Book), and the Clans are desperate to fix this. There was a prophecy of a great mythical tiger being the guardian of the path back to the stars, so of course the appearance of Tiger(moon) threw the clans into desperation.

Individual characters have their own backstories and stuff, too much stuff for one post, I will answer any questions.

I'm going to break down the clans a little:

Dayclan: Considered the most elusive and secretive of the clans, a part of their territory overlaps with open farmland.

Duskclan: Considered the cleverest and best hunters, their territory runs alongside a river in a well wooded area.

Nightclan: Considered the strongest and most ruthless warriors of the clans, their territory lies in a heavily forested area between the ocean and the town.

Dawnclan: Considered the boldest and most reckless of the clans, their territory straddles the port/warehouse district and a small wooded area.

Character names and clan alignment below.

I put a lot of thought into the names they all contain obscure references and metaphors.

*There are several bsd background characters I didn't include that are simply not super important for the current plot I have forming in my head, if you want me to give them a warrior cat name and affiliation just tell me.*

*clears throat* ok buckle up. So Ryuu, aka Natsume Ryuu, is one of the members of the group The Cat's Whiskers. His age is. Undetermined. This is because he has amnesia, due to the trauma of having been a human experiment in his youth. He either escaped or was released, and wandered the streets before being taken in by Saimon and Youhei, two other members of The Cat's Whiskers. The wiki describes him as "childish but mysterious". He's the only cast member to not get trap reactions (basically they have devices called phantometals that can create wonderful illusions. However after their use they trigger trap reactions, in which the user is forced to relive their worst trauma. Ryu, having no memory of his past, doesn't experience them). He definitely knows more than he's letting on, and quite possibly has some sort of supernatural power (there are two other human experiments, both belonging to the group 1Nm8, one of which has super strength and the other has a photographic memory)

I think the best way to describe him is. Eccentric? You really have to experience him for yourself skdbdjsks he makes up a lot of words are runs around and bites Shiki, the final member of TCW and likely his closest friend. He also holds Shiki's hand when he has trap reactions and stays with him through his panic attacks (he has a lot)

Tbis is his self proclaimed time-line btw

Age 0: Sprung from the cracks of a boulder

Age 5: 5 years old

Age 623: Winner of Pluto's Spinach Eating Championship

Age 38: Successfully replenished the toilet paper that was running out

Age 189: Graduated from humanity

Now: Indestructible!

Genuinely there is so much wrong with him and now that we've been introduced to other human experiments (Rokuta and Itsuki from 1Nm8) I can't wait to see what will happen. I hope he snaps. I hope it's awful

w ow i'm. :I i mean just goddam, how do i respond to this asdk;fkas;lf /pos like idk ryuu's vibes are nigh identical to misumi a3's to me, so i think i expected something a little more silly and a little less. genuinely concerning?? /pos

OOHHHH HE BITES HIS FRIEND AND ALSO HOLDS HIS HAND DURING HIS PANIC ATTACKS 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

watch him actually be a time traveller lol would that be fucked up or what

[mayonaka-sunshine]

Go-onger vs gekiranger movie livewatch notes (spoilers for all of gekiranger btw)

-Gou lost Bae in India and he does not care nor does anyone else care. that fly cured you of your werewolf disease you ungrateful bitch

-Hant hit on Miki when she would visit the curry shop he worked at. milf liker Hant

-The Engines and Jan talk in the same cutesy baby language incroyable

-Jan is immediately willing to trade Long's Ball Prison in exchange for the baddies not zapping Speedor. Sosuke has done worse things to Speedor but Jan's dainty kitty heart doesn't need to know that

-Jan scaling a building like spoider man

-Retsu and Gou playing the piano with their toes. big win for the Fukami liking feet freaks

-The baddies being able to hammer Long's Ball Prison into an Engine Soul shape is so concerning. why is it so malleable. i know its for the funny but still

-Ken's horndog behavior for girl yellows is mostly Not Funny Didn't Laugh but him giving Saki a ginkgo leaf with a smile drawn on it was cute

-Ran poking Gunpei's cheek also very cute. i too wish i could do that

-Jan being the reasonable one opposite Sosuke is so WeirdChamp. feral turned domesticated cat vs unneutered batshit orange tomcat

-Go on Wings already know beast fist because of course they do

-There are also plentiful Renn and Hant feet shots. toku foot perverts rejoice

-POV you are just a little upside down hater

-Actually I think teaching beast fist to the go ongers is a dangerous idea. they should NOT have this power they WILL do stupid shenanigans with them

-Sosuke getting his geki powers not though training but by being really passionate about saving Speedor. they would be so yaoi if Speedor wasn't a sentient toy car

-Incredible Blueisms on display here

-THE LONG IS OUT I REPEAT THE LONG IS OUT. WOW IT WAS THAT EASY HUH

-Go on Wings trained under Gorie Yen specifically what is this lore

-Bruh it was literally that easy to revive Leo and Mele lmao that doesn't cheapen their deaths at all

-Oh but they're going to perma super hell after this aight sure

-2 minute roll call babeyyyyyy

-Long's bipedal hydra form is so silly looking. tho i guess anything would be a downgrade compared to a horse hydra

-Bae is back from India (in a turban) no thanks to WORST FRIEND EVER GOU

-God the go on mechs are so ugly

-"Engine beast grand prix" sounds like a wild mario kart track

-Jan's hair is very long and pwetty

-Unhand him you purple furry

-Just as well Natsume's favorite food is egg tarts bc it seems Renn canonically cannot cook anything that isn't egg based. also Gunpei being so proud of buying the eggs ough kawaii doggy

-Jan doing Bomper's "bom bom!" ahhhhhhhh kitty

-Genki reds genki redding

-Oh neat they included some bonus live event footage. G3 princess rap and engine formation rap goated

-LMAO THERE'S A PREVIEW FOR KR DECADE HERE? also shinkenger. wow 09 sure was a while ago huh. don't like the passage of time much

Closing thots: cute lil movie! nothing particularly amazing or funny but the contrast between "competent and sensible people" gekis and "heads full of sawdust" go ongers was amusing enough. i would say that bringing Leo and Mele back from the dead AND releasing Long from his Ball Prison kinda cheapened the ending to geki but man. its sentai it ain't that serious lol

6/10 not enough genki red shenanigans for my liking. maybe Jan and Sosuke should have kissed a lil idk

// 𝑆𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 What are your seasonal transition books? // Farewell to summer & hello to the comforts of autumn. It’s time for a refresh, a new theme, or: I’m tired of moving images, so I’m prioritizing photos over reels this month (i.e., joining the trend to defy The Trend because this constant stream of reels gives me vertigo ngl). If I prefer books to films, perhaps it makes some sense that I'd also prefer photos to reels. I like experimenting with vid, but it becomes a pain when I’m trying to manipulate every single post into a 30 sec clip. I could do without this feeling of being forced into one artistic medium. (Btw if most of us are only staying for those first 5 secs, reel might as well be a photo js.) It’s time to slow down.

white tigers both are and are not natural, they can happen in the wild its just significantly more rare than in captivity cuz its a biproduct of inbreeding. it wouldnt be very common in captivity either if it werent for people being so fascinated by them so people try to breed more of them when they really shouldnt cuz of all the health problems that come with the coloration. i havent gotten to the part with natsume just yet either, if it helps im at the part in the anime where poe and ranpo meet for the first time but ive spoiled a lot for myself cuz im inpatient lol, but male calicos are less of a mutation and more so just extremely rare as far as i know.

but omg how did i not notice that fukuzawa has his eyes closed a lot too! thats definitely another sign of autism in ranpo (its not canon btw but its heavily implied) he definitely picks up habits from other people like that and mimics it (i speak from experience, ive picked up a lot of vocal tics from my friends) i also think kenji has really bad autism. he has a lot of similar symptoms that ranpo also has plus the inability to understand body language and tell when people are blatantly lying to him. while im on the topic too; kunikida has ocd, fukuzawa has slight adhd, and akutagawa has ptsd from being trained by dazai

first of all yes, that's exactly what I meant with Ranpo that he is mirroring/mimicking other people and he doesn't understand social cues as much, plus his inability to find destinations, etc., I think it all heavily implies autism and I talked about this to my friends and as for Kenji, I see what you mean but I think huge role about his character is the way he grew up, he was on the village with older people who were mostly genuine, warm and kind and his motto is even to keep smiling and be kind towards everyone in general and therefore blindly trust people basically but it could also be that he is somewhere on the spectrum himself and as for Akutagawa, he definitely has ptsd and codependency issues related to Dazai and Atsushi has ptsd from orphange and everything, also Fukuzawa having adhd sounds interesting, i never thought about that :o also don't worry, I know you speak from experience because I've read your introduction post :)) but even if you weren't, mimicking/mirroring is very common in autistic people + Ranpo had a huge meltdown in light novel too even though they animated it not as intense as it was in light novel, so it seems like he was just being "bratty" :/

and i did hear people trying to breed more white tigers because of "exotic" look they have and since people are amazed by them, but it makes me so sad because as you mentioned it comes with so many health issues and they spend so much of their life suffering honestly as all crossed breeds who shouldn't be crossed like we can see in so many dogs for example and it just makes me so sad ddbdnn, also about calico male cats i think it comes when they have two X chromosomes and they usually call them unicorn of the cats which I think is so cute djdjs, I love them so much, also I know where you are overall, that's really interesting part, I think you will love Poe and Ranpo a lot as story progresses :D also, i understand impatience completely! I spoil everything for myself whenever I watch something because I simply can't wait to see it for myself djdjdjdj so I just pick up its and bits :") How do you like it so far? :)) and as for Natsume he will barely show up tbh, we don't know shit about that man beside few things and that's it, I am really interested in his character though :)

ALSO I JUST ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED SOMETHING AND IDK HOW TO DELETE IT HELP ME

ALSO WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL? OR ANIMALS? :D
