Interspecies adoption isn't easy....

In this slice-of-life fanime, Xiu Stein works hard as a single father for six unique feline children: the rambunctious tiger-cub Tantan, shy Russian blue Pavel, the rare and exceedingly needy tortoiseshell tom Sondy, the sweet amnesiac kitten Min, reliable big sister the four-eared Angel Ears, and Sy, who is an adult but for legal reasons cannot live alone. Join him as he cleans up hairballs, dead bird carcasses, and cat puke. And in this episode specifically, Angel Ears grapples with the monumental task of...getting through the morning!

sooooo dont ask where i've been I made a showwwwwwwww :3

Hils Watches The King's Avatar - Ep 36

Wait, I'm confused. I thought the game Team Happy lost mean they didn't qualify for the final. If they did why was everyone acting like the game was so important to the point where they broke up because they lost. What happened to the team that beat them? Is it just a points system so Happy qualified because they won all their other games? I do not understand how this league works at all

Okay, I know this is fiction and I should not be applying logic but surely if your team has disbanded you have to inform the league. You can't just let people find out for themselves when you just don't show up to a league final press conference

He's back! And he's (sort of) smiling!

I see Sun Xiang smiling at Ye Xiu's beautiful speech about how esports bring people together from all walks of life

I knew they were all going to walk on stage one at a time and announce their intention to play and I'm still bawling. I didn't expect Wei Chen to be first on stage after Ye Xiu

Oh fuck I think Ye Xiu is going to cry too. This is all too emotional

I'm fine. Absolutely fine.

Even their rival team is pleased. The only one who isn't smiling is the dickbag manager

Ooh plot twist!

BAOZI IS THE MVP. He has better get some cuddle time with his boyfriends after this

Aww see I knew they'd all come together to help Ye Xiu repair his weapon

I had to pause this scene for like 5 mins because I was crying so hard. This poor kid has been through so much and is still haunted by it

Everyone: has tasks to get what they need to repair the umbrella Ye Xiu: and what do I do? Everyone: sit there, look pretty, and click a button when we tell you to

It's about time someone took care of him instead of him taking care of everyone else. I love it.

I had legit forgotten about him. Oh no they're going to make Ye Xiu play against his own son

Ah, Sun Xiang. He has definitely matured but still refuses to accept that he has anything to learn from a child

I love him. He knows exactly what he's doing by giving Sun Xiang a kid to mentor. Especially when said kid was Ye Xiu's protege

Oh my god she is dressed even more like a lesbian and I am into it

Aww they have a guild to help them now! This makes me happy (pun not intended)

Aww even Chen Guo is helping

And she was the one to find the item they were missing. Of course. It's perfect.

And working with everyone to rebuild the umbrella has helped him process his grief. It's a beautiful thing.

Oh shit something has happened. GAH AND THAT'S THE END OF THE EPISODE

NAKU 🫵

[rebeccadumaurier]

hey! i was catching up on your blog a bit and i noticed a recent ask game you reblogged. firstly, all of your wip ideas sound really interesting!

and secondly, i hope it's not too late to ask, but i was wondering if you could talk more about 'the pictures of yuxi hao' and 'the second brightest radiance,' since no one has mentioned them yet? thank you

absolutely, i'm very flattered by this! :) [link to original post for reference]

in the pictures of yuxi hao, recent college grad meiting lives with her best friend kit in NYC and believes she's moved on from the suicide of her college girlfriend, yuxi—at least until yuxi's disembodied hand appears in her apartment one night. yuxi was not only her girlfriend but also her muse, and now meiting finds the dozens of drawings she's made of yuxi coming to life and trying to kill her.

this one is not developed enough yet for me to really have an excerpt i want to share. hopefully someday!

in the world of the second brightest radiance, people train to become radiances—soldiers with the power to manipulate light—to battle back the plague of decay that's consuming the island, the only home mir has ever known. kore has always been the pride & joy of the island, the hero prophesized to defeat the decay forever, but when kore vanishes, it's up to mir, her long-time rival and closest thing to a friend, to find her and bring her back—even if kore might no longer be on their side.

“No, I won’t,” Mir gasped, batting away Chi’s hand as she fell to her knees. “I’ll never get into a good school. I’m just going to marry Lord Liu’s stupid smirking son and have developed these toned legs for nothing except carrying his sandals over to him when he gets home. Decay is going to destroy Liyuan and the most important thing I’ll be doing while rampaging bears descend on our town is dress shopping with my maids. I’m going to pop out so many babies that I’ll never be able to walk anywhere on my own, and all I’ll worry about is convincing Lee to name our children after my brothers instead of his. I’ll have to go back to taking violin lessons with that dreadful hag who lives with the carpenter. Do you know how stupid it is that people keep making violins when we barely have any trees anymore that aren’t poisonous? Do you fucking understand how inane it is when we could be using wood for anything else? Do you know how much we waste every year on violins and velvet and that vile shit our aunt puts in her perfume?” She only stopped because she could no longer draw breath. Chi did not laugh at her like Xiu would have, or told her that if that buffoon Xiu could get into Yixua, so could she, like Min would have. He patted her on the back until she could breathe again and said, “Let’s go on a run.”

"Get to Know Me" Tag Meme

Oh gosh, this is the first time we've ever been tagged for a meme! Thank you for thinking of us, @felinesomnambulist. I SUPPORT YOUR MICHELANGELO LOVE, he's the best turtle and April should see that.

I'm gonna fill this out based on me (@unforth) since I run this account (And, ya know, own the Press). :D

Three Ships: Hua Cheng/Xie Lian (Tian Guan Ci Fu by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu), Mo Ran/Chu Wanning (The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat), Shen Qiao/Yan Wushi (Thousand Autumns by Meng Xi Shi), are probably my three favorite ships right now.

First Ever Ship: oh god. if we're talking "first couple I remember getting really invested in," it's Min/Rand al'Thor from the Wheel of Time. If it's "the first ship I can remember being like 'I ship this' and it wasn't canon and it's queer and stuff" (though I have Opinions about Min and queerness, but that's a different conversation)...hmm...I wrote a little Nuriko/Yuki Miaka (Fushigi Yuugi by Yuu Watase) and Lina Inverse/Gourry Gabriev (Slayers). (Lina/Gourry isn't queer in canon, but there is no cis het explanation for Nuriko). I also had a ship for The Franchise By She Who I Wish Would Just Fucking Stop Being Awful but we don't speak of such things anymore. (I also, early, wrote a lot of self-insert OC x "my favorite character in each franchise" things, like in middle school I wrote a story with my OC x the son of Garion and C'Nedra from the Belgariad by David Eddings).

Last Song: Ateez - Deja Vu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlnMDttgTbk)

Currently Reading: Mo Du by Priest (https://edanglarstranslations.com/modu)

Currently Watching: I guess The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty? I watch things incredibly slowly, basically only when I'm packaging campaign merch, and we've only had the pin campaign recently so I haven't had much time in ages. I've also been watching TLT2 on and off. Counting things I'm watching with the kids, we're doing our second full watch-through of Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts (which by the way? super queer. y'all should check it out, it's great.)

Currently Consuming: Black cherry herbal tea

Currently Craving: at least one good night of sleep, god I'm tired (see also: why I'm doing a meme instead of editing, lmao).

Tag 9 people we want to get to know better! Um... @sarnakhwritesthings, @theleakypen, @scones-and-texting-and-murder, @jemariel, @deathbycoldopen, @wolffyluna, @faerytaleonfire, @foxofninetales, and @veronicasanders

[eliotquillon]

One of the Fanchu family members 👀👀👀

i choose xiu mei!

one aspect about them i love

this is kinda weird but something i really love about xiu mei is how little we really know about her? it’s kind of the elena effect in that we only see her through other people’s eyes and therefore we’ll never really know what the “real” xiu mei was like. i think it lends a lot of interesting depth to her because xiu mei the mother is very different to xiu mei the scientist to xiu mei the wife. she’s someone with a lot of potential

one aspect i wish more people understood about them

again i think people understand xiu mei pretty well. i guess i wish more people would lean into the fact that she literally lost everything after the overlord incident - most of her colleagues died, her life’s work was destroyed, and she had to flee her home country and marry a co worker for security. i think her story has a lot of tragedy to it in particular because i think she probably blames herself a lot for pushing ahead with overlord’s activation, and i think that informs her decision to try and take him down at the expense of her own life. i think she did love wing and cypher, but her husband and child came at the expense of her losing her entire life before that, and i don’t blame her for basically pursuing a suicide mission - especially bc she couldn’t have possibly known that cypher would react Like That.

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character

i kind of mentioned this above, but i think xiu mei’s decision to investigate the renaissance initiative - while brave - was a kind of passive attempt at suicide for her. i think she was increasingly unhappy about the fact that she’d had to uproot her entire life and that by hunting down overlord she was a) trying to reclaim her own agency, and b) possibly attempting to escape from the reality of her current situation. while i think she did grow to love cypher eventually, he definitely loved her more than she loved him, and i think it’s something that weighed on her and pushed her towards the decision she did.

one character i love seeing them interact with

kind of a cop out because we only really see her interact with nero but i LOVED their dynamic. i do joke a lot about nero being hot for xiu mei but in all seriousness i think they were likely just good friends with similar work ethics and senses of humour and they had a really nice “work bestie” vibe. shame the lab exploded 10 mins later tho

one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more

CYPHER. NEED TO KNOW WHAT HER AND CYPHER WERE LIKE POST MARRIAGE PRE RELATIONSHIP. i think sooo much about who made the decision to pretend to be a married couple and like i just want to see both of them happy for a hot moment too. they are very grumpy x sunshine and we were robbed

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character

i think wing was an oops baby and his conception came before xiu mei and cypher were actually “in love” - i used to lean towards the idea that she got pregnant just to sell the idea of them being a young refugee couple, but the more i think about it the more i lean towards her and cypher having drunk “all of our friends are dead and we’re stuck jn another country” sex and then them finally falling for each other when she’s like 4 months pregnant. ALSO i think lao was potentially a relative of hers (an uncle maybe) that she managed to smuggle out of china with her and nobody ever found out

Hils Watches The King's Avatar - Ep 16

I love that all the pros logged in to fight Ye Xiu and see what his new weapon can do and he's just 'well, nice to see you all, bye'

Oh no I thought everyone knew but my sweet son Baozi doesn't know! I mean he does now but before he did not!

LOL there is an English book on Assassin's Creed on the table

Uh, he doesn't even work for her, does he?

Aww is he going to ask Chen Guo to be his manager?

I'm not sure what he actually ordered but I'm fairly sure it wasn't this

Ooh the official forming of the team is beginning. Love that he went to ask permission to poach Yifan. Also, lol, no I won't join your team because green doesn't match my complexion

I love that we're over a third of the way through this drama now and we're only just getting into what I thought the plot was going to be. Excellent amount of setup

LOL she saw Ye Xiu and Wang Jiexi together for like 2 mins and has decided she ships it. I mean fair.

LOL! Wang Jiexi is in on his plan to get Chen Guo to be his manager. That's also my 300th screenshot and I'm still not even at the halfway point

He's so good at manipulating people into doing what he wants. And, you know, she's been trying to think of a way to help him so everyone wins. She just needed a bit of a nudge in the right direction.

This is a trope that always annoys me. Like I get characters need to learn and grow but Chen Guo was so determined to do a good job but then just took a bunch of naps and hasn't even learned the rules of the game. You don't have to make people lazy and stupid just to show them getting better later. It just makes it look like she's not taking her new job seriously.

But, also, what kind of stupid rule is it that if your guild fails to kill a boss within a certain amount of time then you have to disband. It makes no sense.

YOU CAN'T KILL A UNICORN

OH YOU FUCKING SABOTAGING BASTARDS!

Oh no even her girlfriend is upset with her. But, also, she runs an internet cafe which seems to be pretty much just for playing this game and she's been following Ye Xiu's career for ages. Surely she must have learned at least a bit about the rules during all that.

Like I know very little about WoW, but if I ran a place where everyone plays WoW all the time and my idol was the best WoW player in the country I like to think I'd learn a thing or two about WoW.

I am very fond of him. I'd love to know if those are actual calculations or just fiction maths

Incredible! The spies attacked the wall so much they accidentally flattened the boss

Ahhh! Of course he knew what they were doing. That's what all the maths was for! I love this!

He's touching his boyfriend again. This makes me very happy.

Okay what I actually need is Baozi/Yifang/Luo Ji OT3. You've got the brawn, the brains and the heart in a nice little package

Uh, it wasn't just him that upset her

No liveblogging tomorrow as I'm on babysitting duty after work. Back on Saturday
