Relationships are so often improved with communication. My partner and I broke up years ago due to miscommunication.
The miscommunication was that we had different love languages.
He likes words of affirmation or physical touch.
I love giving gifts and quality time.
He thought I didn’t love him because my way of showing it was to buy him his favourite chocolate bar when I was at the store to surprise him with it.
After we figured out the issue we were having, we both changed. We both found ways to meet the other’s love language. I make a point of telling him that I love him. I make a point of touching his back when we lay in bed.
And he makes a point of surprising me. For me, I struggle to understand that I exist to others when I’m not with them. So them getting me a small gift (even like a letter they wrote) makes me feel loved. They thought of me when I wasn’t with them and how to make me happy.
Last weekend, I walked out to sit in his car when he picked me up and I saw a brand new wolf stuffy sitting in my seat. I collect wolf things. And stuffies. I nearly cried I felt so loved and happy.
Saying “I love you” is hard for me but I do it for him. His love language isn’t giving gifts but he does it for me. We both meet each other in the middle. We communicated and found compromise. You aren’t asking for too much when you ask to be loved a certain way. And the right person will meet you there.

Here was all the gaiety and glory and sparkle I knew was going to be life if I could just grasp it. For some people history is a graveyard. For me it was an enormous Christmas present wrapped in tissue paper and tied with satin ribbons, and inside would be something to adorn, to amuse, and to dazzle me forever. It was my present for being alive.

every time I see that damn nikocado video and people saying that he was ahead of us the whoooole time and he's a GENIUS or whatever I'm reminded of that old ethoslab prank video w/ team canada where pause falls to his death AND THEN says it was on purpose and the two others say that you can't just claim after the fact that it was on purpose lol then it seems like you're covering it up....

do the cats in your AU have any sort of unique games? i remember in one of your posts about the Aftergathering you mentioned something along those lines called 'scratchstone,' are there any others?
They do! Making a big entry on games is on my very long todo list
So far:
SCRATCHSTONE: a grid-based strategy game, so named because in the past, it would be 'scratched' into the dirt and played with stones. Fernstripe is very good at this game.
Untitled Song Game: ShadowClan plays a round game very similar to the Mari Llwyd game, if you know about that. The idea is that you sing back and forth, making rhyming excuses, until one of you loses. It's like wit-based rock/paper/scissors, and used to decide minor disputes.
"I WAS GONNA EAT THAT FROG"
"It's MY frog, YOU eat log!" (A challenge)
"You are a hog and a slobbering dog"
Keep going until the other can't find a good retort, or breaks the rhyme.
Teeterstrike: Like pattycake, played by sitting on your haunches and rhythmically pressing paws to the other cat. If you're really good at this it starts to look like fighting. Secretly a game that parents, chaperones, and educators play with kittens to introduce them to "timed strikes" before they become apprentices and start real training.
This doesn't include the canon games like Preystone or that Tag-knockoff, I want to include those too lmao

Do Bonnie's grandparents keep any animals? What type of fruits are their orchard?
they keep a few cows and chickens (milk n eggs)!
most of the orchard is apples, but they def have some peach, apricot, orange trees... and a personal garden for just them, w lettuce n avocados n strawberries and tomatoes n stuff. i like to think they have an area for pumpkins during fall.
