#MITZI LOOKS SO CUTE

[starsnsparkles]

i was so excited for the new winx reboot sneak peak i kind of forgot to write down my initial thoughts so here it is (i’m so curious on how this opinion of mine will hold up once the show comes out!!)

first impressions - i actually really like it!

look, i love 2d animation just as the next guy, but i don’t think we’re ever getting back the s1-s4 animation (2d animation from s5-onwards was SO stiff and jarring looking, huge no thank you), and if that’s the case, i think the 3d style that they went for in the reboot is one of the better solutions for it.

it’s vibrant! it’s colourful! it’s giving “magical girls”! it just looks aesthetically pleasing! also i’m OBSESSED with the way they animate their hair, especially bloom’s, it’s giving “bratz series” level of eyegasm hair animation for me. so getting this after the moody, edgy, dramatic “fate: the winx saga” tone set in, i am so relieved we are going back to our roots babeey!! (now here’s to hoping that animation doesn’t tank as the series goes on like how miraculous ladybug is animated by like, 2 different studios and then one episode feels amazing and the other is “hm”)

now for bloom:

her iconic bangs are back baby!! i love how they translated them into 3d without them being too uncanny. the outfit is very cute, but can we PLEASE stop putting bloom in pink?? one of her major appeals as a main character in a girly show was that she wasn’t a pink lead! and blue works so well with her colour palette of red hair & blue/turquoise eyes it’s just aaaaah! replace the pink parts with blue and she’s perfect. (tbh these are still wip, so it could change!)

i’m still warming up to the idea of denim leg warmers though, they look weird to me now (will probably get used to them) but they kind of go with her character, because it looks likeee our bloom s1-s3 personality is back!!!!!! I’M SO HAPPYYY like YES!!! i missed her for a DECADE

next up is mitzi!

they nailed her design imo. she looks like original mitzi, but she also feels like a proper, “updated” version of her look. modern, but not too modern so she’s stuck in the era, but also retains the character of og mitzi. overall, no complaints on my part, only praises!

and then we have the new logo!

IT’S JUST DOING THINGS TO ME IDK it feels so pleasing to the eye?? the purple to orange gradient is just right, the pink is sprinkled in just right and the blues are there to accent it, it’s just. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING to me it truly does feel like a natural update on the og winx logo. it’s amazing!!

and if their transformation is the one originally leaked in 2021?? i think it’s on a very good path to being a great reboot! now i’m still really trying to keep my hopes as low as possible, because rarely do i watch a reboot of a beloved series and think it’s on par or better than the og (actually, only shera really comes to mind…), but! i am liking what i’m seeing! i choose to trust mister straffi on this one!!

HELLOOOOO

could i get a Rocky x reader whos an artist ?

maybe a short drabble or hcs?

thank youu

A/n: Of course! I have another one with an artist!reader x moredcai , Nico and Viktor coming out after this.

Rocky loved to watch you paint, he found it so soothing, so relaxing. He couldn't explain why it made him so happy. He loved how calm you looked, the peaceful look on your face.

It was beautiful, the paintings you created were beautiful, you were beautiful.

"Am I really that interesting to look at?" You joked placing your brush down, turning away from the canvas you tilted your head watching Rocky.

Blinking a few times, Rocky then let out a laugh as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Was I watching you again."

"I don't mind" sitting up, you stretched your arms above your head. "I think it's cute."

Grinning, Rocky made his way over to you as he then pulled you into his arms not caring about getting the paint on him. "Your paintings need to be put in a museum!"

Laughing, you shook your head glancing up at him ad you gave him a teasing grin. "I wouldn't go that far Rocky."

"Oh!" Standing to his full height he kept you close to his chest. "Let's go talk to Mitzi! She can put some of your paintings up!"

"Rocky!"

Ignoring you, Rocky kept his hold on you as he started to tug you out of your apartment.

"Rocky!"

Includes: Ashe, Brigitte, D.Va, Kiriko, Mercy and Widowmaker

Summary: what your OW gf would do for you for Valentine's day

CW: gn! reader, fluff, just some cutesy hcs of what your OW s/o would do for Valentine's, some allusion to the lore

pt2 of my valentine's day content for you guys! i was up til 3 trying to finish these but kinda gave up ngl and went to bed but i mostly finished up!

OW Men Ver. + Valentine's 2023 Masterlist

————

Ashe:

acts like she’s Too Cool™️ for Valentine’s Day 

but on the inside she’s secretly making a big deal of it cause all she really wants is to make you happy and show how much she loves you!!

definitely gets Bob’s help to get everything and set it all up

she’s so nonchalant about it that you’re shocked when she shows up at your place with a bouquet of flowers 

“get your jacket, I got somethin to show you.”

you reluctantly follow her out, pleasantly surprised that she came through for you

she takes you back to her place where her and Bob have practically completely redecorated 

there’s sweet smelling candles lining every flat surface, rose petals across the floor and hearts hanging from the ceiling

waiting for the two of you at the coffee table are dishes of all your favorite snacks

she definitely had Bob make you chocolate covered strawberries 

she feeds them to you too with this cute little blush across her cheeks and nose

also there’s champagne

fruity bubbly pink champagne that she seems to have endless bottles of 

and when you’re all warm and giggly and drunk, cuddled up in her arms, she lets her tough exterior drop 

“oh sweet pea, i think you’re gonna be the death of me”

Brig: 

she’s so nervous!!!

like she really wants this to go good and show you how much she appreciates you, but she doesn’t really know how

probably makes the mistake of asking her dad and Reinhardt for advice 

and after Reinhardt suggests “a really big hammer” she decides to go her own way with it

spends days tinkering in her workshop to make something for you

of course Mitzi is purring and rolling all over her tools while she’s trying to build 

accidentally ignored you because she’s so caught up in her work

she finishes it just in time for Valentine’s Day

you plan on surprising her for Valentines so you’re surprised when she shows up with a little box for you

she’s practically vibrating while she waits for you to open it 

when you do, you see it’s metal figurines of the two of you on your first date 

the sheer amount of detail in it makes you gasp

there’s a plaque on the front that says “The Moment I Knew I Loved You”

you look up at her with big teary eyes and throw your arms around her 

she hugs you super tightly 

“so you like it, right? Cause I was worried it was too much or not enough and I just—I really wanted this to go good for us.”

DVA:

she’s such a dork she probably plans out this whole day for the two of you together 

she’s kinda nervous taking you out in case she gets mobbed by paparazzi 

but she really wants to show you a good time so she sets her fear aside

takes you to the shops downtown to get  cute matching pyjamas for your sleepover tonight 

you guys stop to get hotteoks for a snack too!! 

they’re one of her favorite snacks so you treat her to one 

then you guys head to the grocery store to pick up some snacks and drinks for the night 

queue Hana stocking up on Mountain Dew (but she gets the Spark kind to fit into the Valentine’s Day theme)

you guys get home and build a little pillow and blanket Fort on the floor with all your snacks and stuff

Hana turns on her console and the two of you end up playing games together 

definitely some sort of cutesy two player game where you guys can work as a team 

and even if you make mistakes, Hana just kisses your cheek and carries you through

“so, how was this for Valentine’s Day? Did I win?” 

Kiriko:

she is definitely the type to want to do something for Valentine’s  

but gets so busy with work and crime fighting that she just forgets 

so she plans a date for the two of you at the last minute 

gets you a box of gourmet donuts from her favorite shop and heads over to your house on her bike

she was kinda nervous to ask you to be her Valentine cause she’s never really had one

plus she’s worried what she’s planned won’t be enough

but all of that melts away when she picks you up and sees your smile at the cute little fox donuts she gives you

she doesn’t let on what she has planned, but she has her bike waiting outside with an extra helmet for you

she actually takes you all the way across town to a karaoke/ramen bar!

they’re doing a Valentine’s Special for karaoke where its duets only, and it only takes a second of your girlfriend making puppy dog eyes at you to get you up on the stage

she surprises you by choosing one of your favorite duet songs and having near perfect choreography

her dancing and singing is just so fun and cute that it’s infectious and you start trying to dance with her

even if you stumble a bit she still thinks its adorable

also everyone in the restaurant loves you guys

after that, you guys have a few drinks and some yummy ramen before she surprises you with a promise ring

its just a simple silver band with a blue jewel (like the colour of her fox) engraved into it

“I know it’s not much…but I wanted you to always have a piece of me with you. I have the fox spirit to guide me, so I thought maybe you could have something to guide you.”

Mercy:

she’s a busy, busy woman, but she’ll fight to have time off so she can spend it with you 

very traditional as far as her dates go, but that doesn’t mean boring by any means

she’s super organized too, so she’ll plan everything ahead of time to make sure it all goes off without a hitch

definitely splurges and gets you a box of super yummy Swiss chocolates 

I feel like she would definitely get you some sort of jewellery too, like a necklace with wings or something 

she has a dinner reservation at a super romantic, intimate restaurant 

she leaves you a cute little gift bag on your bed for when you get home, and its just a super nice outfit for you to wear out

you’re super excited for what she has planned, and that only gets better when she comes to pick you up

she’s wearing a silky black slip dress and heals, dressed to the absolute nines

honestly she looks good enough to eat

you guys take a cab to the restaurant so you can thoroughly enjoy it and actually drink

Angela picks out a delicious red wine for the two of you to share over dinner

she definitely holds your hand across the table and runs her thumbs over them

the food is amazing and you guys have just a little too much wine over dinner

Angela holds her alcohol well though and manages to tough it out until you get home 

she wanted to surprise you with gifts, but didn’t want to do it in public so she could actually enjoy your reaction to them

probably the one night of the year she lets herself get a little more kinky in bed too lol

“How was it, darling? I wanted to give you a date you deserve.”

Widowmaker:

she hasn’t celebrated a single Valentine’s Day since before Gerard died 

he was the only person she ever had any desire to celebrate with, and because of what Talon did to her, she never had a chance again

until she meets you of course

she probably doesn’t celebrate it with you until you’ve been together for a while either

but when she’s ready, she wants to go all out 

she makes reservations at the best restaurant in France (and spares no expense)

she picks you up in a limo, the back filled with candy hearts and kisses, with a fridge stocked with rosé and champagne 

she pours you a glass when you get in, her eyes taking you in

“you look stunning, my love.”

by the time you get to the restaurant, you’re a little tipsy and completely flustered

she orders for you, getting you her favorite dish (and it’s quite possibly the most delicious thing you’ve had in your whole life)

she definitely splits dessert with you too

she feeds you little spoonfuls 

takes you back to her place for the night and shows you her favorite movie as a girl

“thank you for tonight, mon amour. you are the warmth of my life.”

♧ The Hellerby Dynamic ♧

(Having to re-write this entire post because the first one kinda... vanished)

To an observer, it seems completely asinine to think that Mordecai and Rocky would like each other in the slightest. Their personalities contrast way too sharply! The only feelings between the two would be that of loathing, right?

Well... in reality, there's good reasons for why the mutual feelings between Heller and Rickaby wouldn't be loathing, but instead would be *love.*

♧ First and foremost, there's an inheret shared respect between them. This is thanks to them both having been through the wringer, so-to-speak.

In Lackadaisy Breakdown, Rocky speaks about hardship in his past- in his usual archaic and poetic way. The specifics are generally unclear, but this incredibly sullen mood speaks volumes and is a clear testament to having been through a lot of pain.

And in Lackadaisy Congregation, we are shown explicitly through a flashback that Mordecai has had it incredibly rough, and was imminently going to get himself killed before being taken under the wing of the Mays.

Thus,

• Mordecai has an entrenched respect and keenness towards Rocky, understanding that he too had been dealt a bad hand.

• Mordecai is able to tolerate Rocky's behavior, as he understands that such a carefree and energized domeanor is something of a coping mechanism... just like Mordecai's hyper-tidy and professional mannerisms.

And,

• Though he'd never admit it, even to himself, Mordecai oh-so-slightly admires Rocky for his rambunctious style. He sees it as Roark's way to defy and triumph over the suffering he's endured.

♧ Secondly, Mordecai and Rocky's ability to bond is bolstered by their shared appreciation of literature (alongside mutually high intellect).

It's blatant that Rocky is rather incredibly bright and well-read, evident by his rambles of poetry which're in such abundance that I needn't pin-point a specific example. As for Mordecai, his artistic taste is far more downplayed, but is shown to us a few times- namely in the Interludes "Critique" and "Warfare." It stands to reason that this time-killing hobby still persists within Mordecai.

Therefore

• Unlike the majority of people, who're mildly annoyed or bemused by Rocky's sporadic bursts of prose, Mordecai is rather fond of the behavior. When Rocky begins on a poetic tangent, Mordecai simply lets him go on while his lips form a barely-visible and content smile. This liking of the poetry is something he'd nevertheless deny if Rocky knowingly accuses Mordecai of it, the ostensive professional dismissingly telling Rocky that he was simply being courteous by letting him spew his incoherent drivel.

• In spending private time together, Rocky likes having Mordecai read to him. It combines his enjoyment of the finer side of language with his desire to listen to Mordecai's soothing voice for a nice, uninterrupted bit of time.

♧ Thirdly, the additional pleasantries of this shared respect and fondness.

• In the same way he looks up to Mitzi for her authority and elegance, Rocky admires Mordecai for his refinement and assertiveness, finding something about such resilience as highly alluring. Resultant of this, all Mordecai has to do to make Rocky get a little bit flusted is to imbue his commanding and weighted professional voice with a twinge of flirtation. It's something Mordecai revels in, with a smirk forming on his face whenever Rocky shows little symptoms of being flushed.

• Rocky flirts with Mordecai in an over-the-top and dramatic way, spouting vibrant and fancy poetic lines one after the other to form a convoluted and eccentric yet nonetheless endearing and heartfelt message. Mordecai finds such acts cute, though puts up his deflective wall of aloofness and dismisses Rocky's poetry of love... in a more playful way than he'd usually tell someone off.

• Rocky is pretty clingy in his affection for Mordecai, and attacks him with hugs somewhat often. This is met with defense from Mordecai similar to what we see in the "Hugsperiment" Interlude...

...though he eventually lets down his guard if Rocky pesters him long enough. That doesn't mean he'll reciprocate the embrace or drop the irritated act- unless the hug's being done in private, as otherwise Mordecai couldn't stomach subjecting himself to such 'humiliation' before others, despite Rocky's persistence.

-• On that note: Despite seeming to have the culminative intelligence of a small puppy, Rocky's smart enough to understand Mordecai's sense of personal space, and does take care to not overstep and end up being genuinely intrusive.

♧ Miscellaneous Notes On Their Bond:

• Mordecai is incredibly protective of Rocky.

-• Mordecai reflexively will tidy up Rocky's appearence; fixing up his tie, patting down some divergent strands of fur, flicking off any specks and blemishes on his shirt. Mordecai claims to do so out of being unable to stand a person near him being untidy, but the main motive for this tick is his desire to keep Rocky away from the filthy and unkempt dirtiness that permeated his youth.

-• Mordecai'd be the first to give basic first aid for any little boo-boo Rocky gets, treating the lightest bruises and the tiniest cuts with unflinching seriousness. It's to Rocky's minor amusement and attraction, as seeing Mordecai so absolutely focused on his wellbeing kindles a warm feeling that one gets when one knows that someone truly cares for them.

• Mordecai has bought Rocky poetry collection books on more than one occassion; most often as birthday gifts.

• Mordecai's the superior cook, and sometimes whips together breakfast for himself and Rocky. However, Mordecai's more of a waffle guy, and won't budge from Rocky's occassional plea to just make pancakes- getting a small, benign kick over this bit of leverage.

In Conclusion...

Although it seems like these two cats shouldn't get along in the slightest, they ultimately share deep love- despite both of their eccentric styles making their respective affirmations of said love come out in more indirect and roundabout ways than a typical couple. Their bond and mutual respect is a source of warmth that helps soothe both of their hearts, with this tender flame being one that, ultimately, shall never be snuffed out.

[a-libra-writes]

Ello! may I please request some of the Lackadaisy characters reacting to a ridiculously tall male reader joining their crew?- like hit their head on every doorframe tall?/jk- but in all seriousness, maybe like 8ft or something?

okay im going for like 7ft or so because that SLIGHTLY more reasonable but not by much; idgaf tho this is funny. Also if you will please imagine this as a lanky ass oriental cat a la Pangur of pangur-and-grim fame. also featuring lots of bi cats, because I say so.

Lots under the cut!

♣️Rocky - Oh!! That's a big one! He makes endless "how's the weather up there" jokes (some are so weird) and has lots of ... stories ("St. Louis' very own creature from the river bottoms, only arising when the fog is heaviest!"); it really brings him back to his circus barker days. The first time you picked him up he was momentarily stunned, also he may or may not have climbed up you like a kitten when something startled him. It only happened once, okay? He's also fond of swatting at your absurdly long tail, as in it distracts him mid-sentence and he just has to take a swipe. Look, this probably won't awaken anything in him.

♣️Freckle - First thought? Terrifying, even when you bonked your head pretty bad on the doorframe. Okay, well, you were a little less scary after the third time. He's used to being smaller than most men, but something about you just towering is nothing short of creepy, especially if you have a more tough or intense personality. If you're a kinder soul, Freckle relaxes much faster. When you both have to pile into the back of the car, he feels really awkward about how you have to contort and twist yourself. Jeez, that doesn't look comfortable ... and somehow it makes him feel a lot smaller, which he doesn't appreciate.

♣️Ivy - Omiiigossshhh, the girls at school are not gonna believe this. She beelines to you right away, delighted with the novelty she's discovered. Naturally she wants to dance, and she'd be so shocked and delighted if you were elegant in spite of your lankiness - that'll get her a crush right away. Don't worry, if you're more clumsy, you're still cute! She thinks everything you do is "cute", even if you have the face of a thug and the body of a furry noodle. Having to scoot into cars, towering over the bar when you sit on a stool, your shirt sleeves nearly going to your elbows? Cute! She'd love to buy you something real fancy that fit, she just knows you'd look sharp.

♣️Mitzi - Oh. Oh my. Not her usual taste, but with the right clothes and some pomade, well, you'd be a proper gentleman. Mitzi is already plotting to get you a nice suit made, and good naturedly notes you ought to eat more or the wind will knock you right over. She already feels small next to Atlus and Viktor, but that's doubled with you. Sometimes it makes her a little uncomfortable, but she knows you don't mean to cause the discomfort. If she got you a real nice suit and a gun, you'd be an excellent guard for when she's out and about ...

♣️Viktor - He tries to recall the last time he was this much shorter than someone ... When he was twelve, perhaps? He feels zero intimidation from you, though. Viktor's confident he could snap you in half if need be. Hm, if they got some muscle on you, you might be able to handle some serious firepower... He thinks on it. Oh, and now he isn't the only one having to dodge doorframes. If you're a less violent-inclined person, many times he's growled at you to stop being so slack-jawed and try to look scary, especially when you both are supposed to be guarding.

♣️Zib - Wow yeah okay this is awakening something in him for sure. The musician gets a little hot under the collar when you stand really close and he has to look up, or god forbid, you bend down to his eye level. He has no idea why he's feeling both aroused and terrified, and what that's supposed to mean. Once you said "good boy" as a joke and he nearly tripped and fell off the stage. He's this hopeless even when you're a dork; if you're actually a smooth operator, he's doomed.

♣️Atlas - Yeah, it's not hard to figure out how you stood out to him. You were offered a job, and though you're much lankier than a triggerman out to be, Atlas has plans. Just some fattening up, some practice with a gun and a well-made suit (your Christmas present, in fact), and you cut quite a shadowy figure. The suit is probably the finest one you own, and the only clothing that's fit in years. Mitzi helped choose the color.

🏵️Serafine - She's intrigued right away, which is no surprise. Most people notice you right away, and it's even better if you work for the Marigold gang and she gets to have plenty of time to flirt and bother and amuse you. Serafine is doubly entertained if you're a more clumsy or nervous sort. She loves calling you "le fantôme" or "le boogeyman", and very much admires when you use your height to frighten someone they're having a "talk" with. She has absolutely grabbed your long-ass tail to get your attention.

🏵️Nico - Listen. He's been with men before - not as much as women, mind you, and he's always preferred those who are smaller than him, which is most. But look. You're a tree, he's a squirrel. No shame, you're cute and he'll say it. He can probably pick you up just fine (which he's very proud of) and laughs if it embarrasses you. He's very interested in how you might fight, and has given you several tips on how to use your unusual size to your advantage when going hand-to-hand with someone.

🏵️Mordecai - Yes this is definitely awakening something and he doesnt want to think hard about it also why is EVERY damn person around him a tree -- You drive him up a wall for many reasons. You slouch all the time, your clothes never fit right, you don't carry a gun that would work best for your long fingers. The Savoys joke about you being Mordecai's "project" because he keeps fussing over you. Though they must say, it's a lot easier to get information out of their targets when they have Mordecai's signature glare and a terrifying cryptid looming over him.

⛰️Wick - Oops! All those feelings he's repressed since boarding school are coming out. Note you could be awkwardly trying to get through a doorway or climb out of a car, with clothes that don't fit quite right or trying to finesse a gun that's too small and he is just, totally enamored. If you have more of a scary demeanor - or you put on that act when you're working as Mitzi's bodyguard - then he's still enamored, just with a dash of fear. So. That's confusing.

(ao3)

You exit the dollar theater into the cool night breeze, pleasantly surprised at how much you enjoyed the film. This was a weekly visit for you as an avid fan of the medium, even if you didn’t necessarily know what they were playing.

This week, it was There's No Business Like Show Business, a musical comedy-drama you had never heard of, nor expected to like. Despite your preconceived notions, you find yourself humming one of the songs as you make your way down the pavement.

You light up a cigarette as you walk, and find yourself reminiscing on the plot of the movie, it really did balance both comedy and drama. Maybe you should watch more musicals.

“I’m gonna wash that man right outta my hair, and send him on his way…” A voice sang sweetly behind you, following the next line of your humming.

Turning around, surprised, you find yourself face-to-face with the most beautiful woman you had ever seen.

Your cigarette hangs dumbly from your lips as you take in her appearance: a faux leather jacket atop a bedazzled knee-length dress, paired with platform sandals, all in a hot pink.

“That’s the song you were humming, right?”

“Yeah, yeah it was,” you shake thoughts of her nylons from your head, “I’m guessing you just left the theater as well, Miss…?”

“Kitten, my name is Kitten Braden,” she smiles sweetly, offering her hand, “Yes, that film is very dear to me. Did you enjoy it?”

You shake her hand, admiring her pristine pink manicure, and introduce yourself quietly. She was incredibly coordinated in her style, you were rather envious.

“Well, I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy it, but I did,” you smile softly, “I just very much enjoy films.”

Kitten grins, and pulls out a cigarette of her own, “I really adore anything with Mitzi Gaynor in it, you know. She’s quite the woman.”

“She is, isn’t she?”

The light of her match illuminates her visage, and you watch as her pink lips wrap themselves around the filter.

You shuffle your feet, and a thought springs to mind, “You know, you sort of look like her, Miss Kitten.”

“Is that so?” Her eyes sparkle at your words, and she smiles widely, “Well, my mammy looked exactly like her, so it only makes sense that I’d retain some semblance of… movie star quality.”

Chuckling, you speak rather softly, “It isn’t just some semblance.”

Kitten’s eyebrow quirks up, “Yeah?”

Nodding, you speak a bit louder, “When I saw you, it looked as if you stepped right off the silver screen.”

She steps closer to you, and grabs your hand in hers tightly, “What a doll you are!”

“I’m just being honest, Miss,” surprised at her touch, you feel your palms begin to sweat, “You could have starred right alongside them, and I wouldn’t have batted an eye…”

“God, I could just eat you up, (Y/N)," She lets go of your hand, and fixes your hair idly.

The amount of physical affection she was giving you was fantastic, albeit unfamiliar.

Clearing your throat, you ask, “Do you… like films as well, Miss Kitten?”

She hums slightly, a finger on her chin in thought, “I wouldn’t call myself an aficionado, but I enjoy the stories, you know?”

“I feel the same way,” you begin to walk, and she follows you, “I like the escapism of it all, as well as the art.”

Kitten nods along with your words, “Do you study film, love? You speak awfully academic about it.”

Shaking your head, you smile softly, “No, I’m just a cinephile.”

“Cinephile… what a silly little term that is.”

Watching her chuckle filled you with adoration, “It is, isn’t it?”

“Tell me more, dear,” she interlocks her arm with yours at the elbows, and you giggle nervously, “I wanna know what you love about films.”

“Well, that’s a tough ask, Miss Kitten,” you pause for a moment to think, “I’m very much interested in the history, I guess.”

“Like the Golden Age, right?” Her genuine interest in the topic made you feel that much more confident.

“Yes, exactly!” Your sudden enthusiasm doesn’t go unnoticed by her, and Kitten’s head rests against your shoulder as you walk, “But what’s happening right now is a new Golden Age, at least to me. I mean, just look at any of Stanley Kubrick’s works!”

She smiles widely as you rant about the cinematography and lighting used in A Clockwork Orange, pleased at how comfortable you felt.

“You’re quite the expert, love.”

“Do you think so?” You feel a twinge of embarrassment at your raving, but it dissipates when she kisses your cheek softly.

“I know so.”

You both arrive at your apartment complex, and you stop walking, “Well, Kitten, thank you for talking with me tonight. It’s made me very happy.”

Kitten holds your hands gently, “Do you want to meet up again soon to… talk some more?”

You couldn’t tell if her words were dripping with innuendo, or if that’s just how she spoke. Regardless, you blushed, “I would love that very, very much.”

“Lovely! I’ll meet you here tomorrow at nine o’clock sharp, don’t be tardy!”

Before you can agree to anything, she struts away in her platform sandals, hips swaying. What have you gotten yourself into?

Do Mitzi and Selina still exist?

I do have a concept for my version of selina however idk if it’s final yet and although I thought of adding mitzi I haven’t drawn her yet

In my version I’d probably keep her a fairy…. Cuz we need more evil/ mean fairies

It’s a pretty old concept i wanted her to look more cute so her more malicious intent is more hidden

More of a diamond tiara (mlp), gideon (gf) type of character design

She would in my version be in the fairy animal season because instead of linking her to bloom she could be more of an opposite to roxy

I very much gotta rework her eventually tho

[lackadaisy-headcanon-supply-unit]

reader is adopted by zib headcanons? (but more of like an uncle then a parent if that's okay!!)

also wanted to say that all your posts are a really fun read!!!

Since I'm in a fluffy parental-figure mood now why not knock this one out too

TW for mention of stabbing and bleeding. (It's not what you think, I promise; Zib just sucks at making a stuffed animal)

Zib can hardly look after himself, let alone a kitten. But this scruffy little mongrel who couldn't be older than 5 reminded him of himself so much that he opened the door for you anyway.

Now-Zib is not a kitten guy. He's more of a young-adult guy. So picking up a kitten and declaring "this is mine now" on a semi-hungover whim probably wasn't the smartest idea that he's ever had. However one panicked call to Mitzi later (while leaving you to play with the old clarinet he gave you in a desperate attempt to keep you happy. Oh, his poor ears will never recover) and he more or less knows what he's doing.

First call is a toy. He's one step away from throwing the clarinet out the window at this point; so he grabs some clean socks, rips open a pillow for it's fluffy innards and stabs his paws bloody with shitty sewing skills to make you something that vaguely resembles a toy.

It, remarkably, works. The awful shrieks and creaking of a broken clarinet being played by a total novice has ceased. Now that he's not getting his eardrums blared out, he can think straight.

Step two is food. You need to eat. He's not giving a kitten the normal liquid breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's some bread in the fridge and the toaster still works, so he hopes to god that you're not lactose-intolerant and makes some toast with butter.

Step three...

He falters there. Mitzi had told him to call the police and tell them that he had picked up a homeless kitten, but he and the fuzz weren't exactly on good terms at the moment and he didn't have it in him to send this admittedly adorable little firecracker to an orphanage where they'll force them to clean up their act, wear cute little outfits and spend their days learning manners that nobody in the real world uses anyway. No, this kitten who's currently playfighting an amalgamation of socks wouldn't fit in. He'd be sending them off to be bullied into becoming a proper member of society.

They're not a proper member any more than he is.

Another call, this one to Ben. He's got a daughter at home, maybe he can think of something.

The phone call is essentially Zib going: "Hi, Ben, so I have a kitten now. No, they're not mine. I swear, Ben, they're not mine-no, they're not Mitzi's castoffs, either. Good god, tomcat, she pays you to-okay, yes, I know, she hasn't paid us yet. But-back to the point! I have a kitten here and my place is a mess. I just made them some toast. You have a girl-sorry, a daughter. I meant daughter! You have a daughter. Can you give me some pointers? What do you mean you've coming over-"

Turns out Ben's little girl is the same age you are. She's also a sweetheart. She brings some toys over to share, doesn't laugh at Zib's pathetic attempt at a toy for you (which is already falling apart) and offers to let you pick one or two toys of hers to keep.

Meanwhile Ben pulls Zib aside and the latter has an anxiety attack over what he's supposed to do with you. Bringing a kitten home when he can barely afford the basic necessities for himself? Is he crazy? He can't even blame this decision on drunken stupidity, he was completely sober (albeit hungover) when he brought you in. You'd have better luck with literally anyone else!

Ben gives him two choices. Either you come home with him, or he takes you to an orphanage. He might as well have punched Zib in the gut, since he had already gotten attached to you; so Ben makes a compromise: he takes you home, but Zib can visit whenever he wants to, he can take you out of the house if you agree to go and he'll bring you to the speakeasy so you'll at least see him every night. This sooths Zib enough to agree.

Ben keeps up his end of the bargain. After settling in to your second new home of the day, you're in a third new place-the Lackadaisy speakeasy. Zib is lazing at the bar when you see him but he perks up pretty quickly at your voice.

He has a shadow for the rest of the night. Every so often a cat will ask him if you're his and laugh, like the idea is ridiculous to even mention. Zib will just give them his rare cocky smile and ruffle your fur, saying "well, yeah, they are. For tonight, at least."

It becomes an inside joke between you. You'll attach to him like Velcro when he's not needed on stage and you'll be "his for the night". However as you grow up, you see him as more of a very strange equal than adult figure. You're on the same wavelength, to an extent.

Zib never thought he'd be a surrogate family figure of any kind. Now he's a little hard-pressed to imagine the Lackadaisy life without you in it. If he's lucky and it lasts long enough, maybe you'll be able to join Ivy in the crew and he'll see you every day, too.

Just please god don't grow up to be a rumrunner he sees the kind of stress that puts on Viktor whenever Ivy goes out

For some levity, the Lackadaisy pilot is finally out! If you’ve seen it already, what are your thoughts about it? I thought it was a treat!

Yup! I’ll post my review here then!

So, overall I definitely liked it. As everyone is saying, the animation and composition is absolutely GORGEOUS, I loved the 3d props and backgrounds, I have been following this project since it was announced for an animated short so I watched a lot of sneak peeks from behind the scenes, (even becoming a patron member for Tracy for a long while) and the long wait and hard work definitely paid off. While the sketch lines being visible is very distracting at times, I will give credit that the animation and look and feel of the short is nice, since they were trying to go for an old-timey Don Bluth/Disney vibe, basically those old cartoons from the 50’s-80’s.

I will admit that while this is around 25 minutes, it feels very short, I was hoping we got to know the characters more better, mainly characters like Wick or Pepper. Like….I will say I thought there’d be a little bit more than what we got, so that was a little underwhelming for me, BUT what we got wasn’t at all bad, especially since this is a pilot. This entire time I thought it would just be an animated short, since I could have sworn the creator said that’s all it’s ganna be for now, but now it’s labeled as a “pilot”, so I can give it a pass for that. Even if you haven’t read the comic like I have, you can kinda get down most of the characters and dynamics.

Rocky is this loose canon yet sweet and can get the job done in wacky ways, Freckle is the soft cutsey wutsey one who deep down has a temper and is crazy, (and Rocky can see the potential in him) Pepper comes off as someone who wants to be an independent woman and can pull her weight around the way how rough the world is, (with Rocky respecting her and her and Freckle having somewhat of a cute relationship) Nicodeme and Serafine (two that I really enjoyed watching) are also loose canons who enjoy the battle, being paired up with my favorite character that is Mordecai, a straightforward, professional and stern person who has an infamous past and isn’t aquatinted well with the people around him. The Mitzi stuff along with the other characters at the bar I’d thought we’d dive into more, but again, this is a pilot, and they do hint at future things, how they’re trying to get Wick to help them, Mitzi being a mysterious character, and the leader of their rivalry business learning about the mishap that happens in the end credits scene.

Since this is a pilot, there are PLENTY of things to be explored, it opens a door for the characters to get more depth, and for the story to expand, something that I really want, especially since the comic (for now) seems to be on halt. I think this pilot serves as a perfect “short and sweet” scenario, it did want it wanted to do, it introduces the characters and some of the story well, and I really hope this gets a BIG following enough for the cast and crew to keep working towards this goal, I would even say I hope a studio sees this and wants to pick it up. Lackadaisy certainly isn’t for everyone, I myself have said that I had a hard time following the comic at times due to the 1920’s language, and some of the humor didn’t catch me, some of the dialogue in this pilot as well could have been better in terms of showcasing the characteristics of each character or the world, but other than everything I mentioned, I don’t have any other criticisms or nitpicks, since it’s too early.

Now that the pilot is finally out, I definitely want to reread the comic and compare the two in the near future, Lackadaisy is something I have passion for and I’m so proud of the team for what they accomplished. Here’s to hoping there’s more! 🍻

#honestly I do think this is a great start #even if you have some issues with it #I’m really hoping there’s more to see what this can turn into especially since the comic itself changed over time #begging that this gets the same cult following Hazbin did #lackadaisy webcomic #lackadaisy #review #reply #ask #animated indie short #animated short #2d animation #lackadaisy animated short #unrelated

Mittens ( the black and white cat ) and her kitten Mitzi.

awww sweeties!!!! my parents have two tuxedo kitties (named meowth and clefairy hehe) and theyre so so silly! ur plushies look so cute and cuddly:~)

#plushie asks #friend friday

[samantha-and-her-chaotic-desires]

List of the types of cats Lackadaisy characters would be if they were actual cats because I'm bored:

Rocky: Rocky is the kinda cat you first meet and you think he's just the sweetest, most innocent little thing ever, and he stares up at you with those big, adorable eyes, and then 24 hours after adopting him you realize how much of an absolute MENACE he is. He's broken everything in your home, scratched everything, and clawed the shit out of your leg for fun, but you can't bring yourself to get rid of him because 1) if you dont put up with him, who will? And 2) LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS CURLED UP ON THE WINDOW SILL!!!

Freckle: Freckle is the kinda cat that's always super shy and kinda skittish around everything. He jumps at any sudden sound, and if you make the mistake of moving furniture around, he will act like hes walked into an entirely different house. It takes forever for him to warm up to you, but when he finally does, hes the sweetest little kitty ever. But then, you get him that one toy and he goes batshit insane. I'm talking jumping of the walls, skittering across the floor, nearly crashing into things, etc. To the point you wonder if he's even the same cat.

Ivy: Ivy is the kind of cat that's always weaving in and out of your legs and follows you everywhere. You sit at the computer, shes ontop of it. You go to the bathroom, she's at the door wanting to sit in your underwear. You leave the house, you have to make sure she doesn't follow you. She doesn't want anything, she just wants to hang out. She's the kind that would take to a cat harness like a duck to water, and would be so happy to go out with you and explore.

Mitzi: You know those videos of that one cat that does fashion runway shows and gets dressed up, but genuinely doenst seem to mind/actually really likes it cause she's the center of everyone's attention? That's Mitzi. She would love being pampered and treated like a queen, and would expect no less. She doenst just tolerate being put in fancy little dresses or being brushed and groomed, she'd LIVE for it. She loves attention of any kind and will absolutely gat attached to anyone who gives it to her.

Wick: Wick is one of those cats that's just an absolute angel all of the time. He's always there to say hello when you come home. He just lays in your lap while you work. He lays on the pillow next to you in bed, just an absolute sweetheart. He'd borderline be emotional support animal material, always at your side when you need him. He's never doing anything he shouldn't (at least, not that you know of), and he never minds being pet or cuddled, even if it wasn't his idea. You also notice him seeming oddly fascinated with a certain lanky stray tom cat that keeps coming by your window.

Zib: Zibs the kind of cat that was a stray that just showed up outside your house, and you felt bad for him, so you start leaving food out for him, and he gets a bit more comfortable with you being around, but still doesnt seem all that interested in you, and then one day, he just walks into the house and flops down on the couch like he owns the place. He still likes to be outside to wander, usually to the neighbors to hang out with their fluffy brown cat, but he always comes back at night and curles up on your lap while you watch TV. He's the kind of cat that you don't adopt. He adopts you.

Viktor: Viktor is one of those cats who takes a long time to warm up to people. He just kinda stares at you from across the room, almost with a look of mistrust, and he wants nothing to do with being pet or cuddled. If you try to force it, all you do is push him away. But if you respect that and give him his space, you're eventually gonna start waking up with him laying next to you in bed, or he'll come up to you on the couch and lay on the opposite side. He doesn't want to be pet, he just wants to be next to you. That's how he shows affection.

Mordecai: Mordecai is similar to Viktor, but he just straight up does not warm up to you. He's less your pet cat and more a roommate who has slight disdain for you and doesn't pay rent. You just exist in the same place. He does his own thing, and you better not interrupt him, cause you will get hissed and/or clawed at. He doenst like toys, or Catnip or anything. The only thing he seems to like is staring out your perfectly symmetrical windows. He occasionally brings you birds, but you can't tell if it's a gift or a threat.

Nico and Serafine: These two are the cats at the shelter that can't be separated because they're a bonded pair. They're the kind you bring home, and they immediately run to the tallest part of the house and just stare at you. Every time you enter the same room as them, they just stare at you from above and don't move. You know they can get down due to the food being gone every day and the couch getting progressively more scratched up, but you never see it. And then, one day, you wake up with Niko sleeping on your face, Serafine over your neck, and the corpse of the biggest rat you've ever seen at the end of the bed. You've done it. You gained their approval... expect a lot more dead things.

ASDFGHJKJHGFDSA FAM I AM C A C K L I N G 😭😭😭 BUT IT'S LITERALLY SO TRUE THOUGH!!!

I feel threatened by Mordecai. And the Savoys...but touched, too!

Wick is literally like my one cat, but he's a mix of Wick and also Zib. God I love this!!!

dating sammy fabelman headcanons

can be read as gn!

you definitely star in a lot of his short films. you are his muse

the way the light hits your face, the way you look on camera... oh he gets carried away

you're probs shy to be in his films and ask him to give you small parts -- or just cut you out entirely. but he says "no, nooooo you're amazing"

you'll be like "sammy i'm not an actor, give the part to someone who wants to do it"

and he hits you with the "you should be an actor! what, you just wanna have a normal, boring job like everyone else?"

and you're like "...yes, sammy. normal is fine"

you admire his creativeness, and he loves how straightforward you are. you can't think outside the box like him, but when he's getting too carried away with ideas, you're there to ground him.

he likes to film you doing mundane things. doing homework? cameras on. styling your hair? smile!

"sam, put the camera away"

"why? you're gorgeous"

"enough with the romantics, romeo"

his parents actually found out about your relationship because of the abundance of film he has of you. one day he was showing one of his movies to his family, but put the wrong film in by accident. then your face projected onto the screen and sammy can be heard saying behind the camera "there they are, the love of my life"

sammy's sisters erupt in shocked laughter "you're DATING someone?"

mitzi gushes "who is that, sammy? do they go to your school?"

sammy is fumbling with the film that refuses to shut off, his face crimson, "MOM STOP"

sammy's a hopeless romantic. before you become official, he was smitten by you and found it difficult to not gawk at you

and now he's dating you?? good golly, he feels so lucky

he makes it mandatory to take you on a date every weekend. your favourite spot is the beach, sitting on the shore and watching the sunset.

i see his love language being words of affirmation. he constantly wants to remind you how much he loves you, and likes the favour returned, but doesn't get butt hurt when you're not as intense as him. he's tries his best to refrain it but.... oh he loves you too much

you hate to admit it, but you like it when he's clingy. because on the days and weeks where he's too busy making his movies, he can't spend as much time with you (hence why he always wants you starring in them)

so when you meet him after a week of not seeing each other, and he just hugs you and splatters kisses all over your face, it makes you feel so happy.

when you don't have classes together and past each other in the corridor, you brush your hands in passing, taking in each others faces, before you have to go off again.

you love watching sam when he's concentrated. the way his lip is tight and eyes hyperfocused, it's a derpy face, but you think it's cute

he likes it when you play with his hair and sing songs softly in his ear. he thinks you have a lovely voice.

when sam is prone to have a panic attack, you're always there to comfort him. you get him a glass of water, sit with him silently and rub his back. now and then you'll say to him "everything is okay" "i love you" "i'm here for you, always". you seem to be the only person that can help him surpass it.

whenever you're having a bad day, sam knows you don't like the extravigants, so he does small things for you. when you graduate and live together, he cleans the house, does the dishes, makes the bed; and cooks your favourite meal for you coming in from work.

he'd just be an amazing partner, and you'd be high school sweethearts grown into loving, supporting relationship later in life. you're there for each other, thick and thin.

he really makes an effort, considering he seen how his parents ended up. he doesn't want the same happening to your relationship. if you were to leave, he'd have no idea what to do with himself.

[multi-fandom-imagine]

Hi, I want a romantic Rocky x male!reader, here it is. Simply put, the reader is the ideal person, he is a kind, patient, and handsome guy, everyone, including Rocky, wonders how he started dating Rocky? But Rocky doesn't really wonder, he's too busy holding on to his happiness, because when will he get that chance? Therefore, because of this, Rocky often gets jealous when he sees people coming up and flirting with his partner, because he is afraid that they will take away from him, because they are better than him (in his opinion), so Rocky is very passive aggressive (or just aggressive), with those people who approach the reader, but our reader is not blind, and he talks to Rocky about this, after which he kisses him and calms him down, saying that he loves him and will never leave him, in other words, something cute and fluffy

A/n: Sweet baby Rocky deserves all the love.

You were quick on your feet, quick with your hands, it's why Mitiz hired you and while you were a good pickpocket you were also kind patient, handsome was a word you heard the most.

At least something came good out of working for Mitzi, it lead to meeting your soulmate, it lead to meeting Rocky. He was your complete opposite, something that you were grateful for but you weren't an idiot. You knew the whispers, you weren't blind to the looks too. You understood the confusion to why you were with someone like Rocky. You'd often be told that you could do better than him.

"You're handsome, you could pull anyone so why Rocky?"

Though you'd always respond with the same answer and same smile. "Because I love him."

But that didn't mean he wasn't prone to jealousy, you knew he'd often get irritated when men or woman would approach you, flirt with you. A few bared fangs and a look would often scare them off but for the others.

Well a few veiled threats often took care of the rest of the idiots that wouldn't leave you alone. Sure Rocky still might be jittery, still might be scared that one day you'd leave him and he'd be alone.

So you took it upon yourself to reassure him, a smile etched on your face as he fiddled with your tie and with a small shake of your head you gave him a gentle kiss, then another to reassure him that you'd always stay by his side. "Rocky, I won't leave you okay....I will never leave you."

"Even if someone better came along?" Rocky asked in a weak voice.

"Rocky, know one could ever be better than you."

Rocky x afab!mexican!reader

Chapter 1: Did you hear?

Summary: Your a lovely cat who lives near her family because your still accustomed to your mom’s cooking, and your father help, like killing a spider, your at the age of 22, you work as many things; Repairer, Mechanic, Babysitter, Cleaner, but getting a job that is meant for a man, even if he’s you’re a woman is a little hard, especially in 1927, it has been a little hard finding a job, since a group of gangsters started crawling more in town causing mischief, and mayhem in town. Little did you know a gang was exactly what you needed to get a job! And maybe even finding a lover too~.

Characters: You, Ivy, Freckle, Mitzi, Viktor, Your Brother; Ray

Authors Note: I apologize for any misspelling mistakes. I also tried my best with Viktor speaking in Russian but if it’s no good then corrections are always welcome! ♡

Warning: None!

——————————

”Come on! You owe me a dance!” Ivy said excitedly, already grabbing the ginger’s paw, trying to flirt her way in with the ginger cat and Freckle’s response is “I do?” Freckle said confused to Ivy’s action as she tugs him in for a dance “Yes I’ve decided, you know the Charleston?” “No” “The Lindyhop?” “No.” “The Roudabout? The Jingle Jangle?” “The Hoopty Noodle?” the cute pair went off to dance, and Mitzi watched them, with a heartwarming smile, remembering what it’s like to be young and in love, that heartwarming feeling inside

While Viktor gives them both death glare, until Mitzi pats the top of his paw, letting him know that they’re okay. Meanwhile Mr. Sable just being in the background drinking the alcoholic beverage, with disgust in his face.

Mitzi sighs as she looks down with a worried and tired look on her face, “What’s wrong? Is it new recruits? because I will gladly kick them out” Victor says to Mitzi, since he knows how Mitzi have been struggling ever since with her husband death, business went down and payments are increasing, so he does what he can for her

“No it’s not them I’m worried about” this confused Viktor so he asked Mitzi “Then why do you look so uhh what do you call it ‘blue’?” Victor said unsure of how to say the phrase correctly “Oh Viktor, what am i going to do? The business isn’t making any money, we have more damages and worries coming, and now the car is damaged, I just wish there was a way to fix the damages without having to pay too much money for it” “Hmm, maybe I can help” Viktor said not too sure if he should bring up the idea “What do you mean by that Viktor? Do you know someone? ” Mitzi asked, confused to why did Viktor sounded a little unsure, I mean this is Viktor we are taking about! He doesn’t even blink when a ferocious animal attacks him

“Yeah his name is Inez” Mitzi felt relief, maybe there’s hope after all! “He won’t do the job but he haves a oldest son, and he knows about mechanic as well, I can try to talk to him and convince him to help us” “Wait wha- convince? Why do you have to convince him? Isn’t that his job?” “He knows about mechanic, but he doesn’t work as one” “Well I still appreciate it Viktor, thank you so much dear” “No thank you’s yet, I still have to talk to him, I just hope they still have the same number as before” “If you don’t mind me askin love but how come you guys haven’t talk?” “We stopped talking, after he found out I worked for lackadaisy” “Oh, is that…so?” Mitzi said feeling confused and unsure what to say next

*Ring* *Ring*

“Hello? Who is this” “It’s Viktor” “Oh Viktor, I wasn’t expecting you for you to call, how’s it been?” “I’ve been fine but uhh I have a problem” “A problem?” “Yes well… uhh … a business problem” “ Umm…Viktor I’m not sure I’m even supposed to be even talking to you” “I know, but I really need this favor y/n” Viktor says the last word like a whisper, so weak and so crumbly “*sigh* All right fine” “Thank you, meet me at Little Daisy Cafe in the afternoon” “All right, I’ll be there, see you then” “Yes and

y/n?” “Um yes?” “thank you” “…” “Goodbye. Viktor, see you then”

“Hey! Who are you talking to?” your brother asked curiously

You and your brother decided to keep up the family business, which means you guys work the same job but your brothers have more clients than you do, you guys decided to take a day off

Until you both heard the phone ringing and you brother gladly took it

“An old friend, a very old friend” You explained in little detail

Not sure if you should tell your brother, besides what can happen?

Lament of a Nobody (Chapter 5)

Meeting Calvin "Freckle" McMurray

Yet again Ivy finished dragging John to another stranger to the Russian Blue. This time someone with a young face accompanied by Rocky, who would immediately recognise John.

"Well, if it isn't Mr. Purple pants!"

"I thought I told you not to call me that" John would say already annoyed.

"Oh that's right, you mentioned you met Rocky already. So that means I just have to introduce you to one person!" Ivy would exclaim, rushing towards the ginger and grabbing onto his arm. "This is Calvin, though we tend to call him Freckle! He's Rocky's cousin and my boyfriend!"

Calvin meekly waved at John and uttered a small "Hello, nice to meet you."

"Pleasure to meet you too Calvin." John would reply.

"He's pretty quite, but just as cute!" Ivy would say, causing Freckle to blush. "He's also pretty new here too, so you've got something in common!"

"So what is your job than Calvin?" John queried.

"Freckle here's our muscle!" Rocky would reply before Freckle could even attempt to. "I know my cousin here doesn't look like much, but he's great with a gun. You should see him out there! Just..." Rocky would proceed to make juvenile gun sound affects while miming out some shooting, before laughing maniacally.

"I... see..." John would say, clearly quite perturbed. "Could have let the man answer for himself, but I suppose at least I know now."

"Yeah Rocky, let him answer for himself. Got anything you want to add Freckle?" Ivy would say.

Freckle opened his mouth for a few seconds, before closing it again and shrugging.

"Well..." Ivy muttered. "Ummm. Oh! He's also quite the handyman! It's not his job but he does like fixing things up."

"Y-yeah. It gives me something good to do when there's nothing else." Freckle would state.

"A useful skill for sure, saves money one could waste hiring another to help." John would say. Giving a small, polite smile.

"Glad to see this is at least going smoother than it did with Viktor." Ivy would say. "Unlike that conversation you boys seem to be getting along just fine.... well, by you boys I mean Freckle and John. Something tells me John and Rocky's relationship is well... Rocky, for lack of a better word."

"We had an altercation-" John said.

"He made me fall to the ground!" Rocky interrupted, causing John to glare at him for a few seconds.

"However, I am willing to ignore that for the sake of having an amicable environment at work here." He continued.

"Glad to hear it my compatriot! Truce then?" Rocky would say, going for a handshake.

"Yes, I suppose so." John would say, returning the handshake.

"Did.... did you get any of that Freckle?" Ivy asked.

"Most I got is they fought. And I guess they're making up now?" He replied.

"Well at least they're getting along now! Gonna make life for John here that much easier!" Ivy said walking towards John and playfully nudging him. "Welcome to the Speakeasy! I promise you'll have a lot of fun here!"

The 4 of them continued to mingle for a few minutes in casual conversation. They seemed to be getting along well, welcoming the new colleague. Allowing a living question mark into their lives.

"Come on!" Exclaimed Ivy. "Not even a little clue about what your real name is?"

"Of course not Ivy, what would be the point of an alias otherwise!" John would reply.

"John Doe?" A small voice would speak out from outside the quartet, it was Horatio. John turned to him. "Mrs M wants to see you to give you your first job. She wants you to see her in her office."

"Alright, thank you Horatio." John would say, straightening his fedora. "Well I suppose I must go for a few minutes, pleasure to meet you all."

Ivy, Freckle and Rocky all returned the sentiment leaving John to go towards Mitzi's office.

[a-libra-writes]

Hello! Just wanted to request if you can do another Mordecai and Reader. Maybe like a part 3 lmao cause I'm kinda curious on how his relationship with reader will progress after Atlas's death and he joins the Marigold gang. Will he leave and watch over them from afar (basically murder anyone who does anything to them) cause he now feel even less deserving of their relationship? Or will they be like a double agent couple who pretends to join the marigold gang just to learn the truth of Atlas's death. Really just wanna see this murder cat double down on the protective instinct especially when the Savoys are involved. Like, I can see Mordecai practically growling at then lmao. Thank you!

Yes YES part 3.... I still keep thinking about this.... Continuation of Part 1 and Part 2, PLUS all the stuff surrounding Atlas' death and afterward.... GN reader, angst ahoy!

So, uh. cute things first, yes?

After years of this slow build-up and burn, and you two are finally Something Of an Item (tm), you might slip up and be a little physically close and affectionate in front of others. Mordecai will never talk about it, so anyone with suspicions would have to go to you with questions (and really, that's only Mitzi because she's been invested in this for a while). Because your partner is so private, it's probably best not to get into details. If he could blush he'd be burning red when Mitzi pats his shoulder and says she's so happy he found such a good person.

If you have a fur pattern that's aysmmetrical, or have odd-eyes, birth marks/beauty marks or just. Any really distinct appearance like that, sometimes Mordecai just stares. At first, years back, it was a stare of annoyance. Now that you're closer it's still intense, just, uh ... a different kind of intense. Unfortunately while most people have a cute doe-eyed look when looking at their partner, Mordecai's is consistently a little creepy. Oh well. He gets easily flustered when you look right back and stare him down, though.

He's never really celebrated his birthday, especially once he fled New York city. Once you figure it out, you won't make a big deal of it, but you do get him a nice meal and something practical he'd enjoy. A new pair of gloves, a nice plant, good quality shoes, something like that. It's a little present that he isn't sure how to react to at first. After doing it year after year, he finally accepts them with quiet appreciation and will do something similar for your birthday. His gifts are much the same, practical, well-made and simple. He prefers to leave them at your apartment rather than give them face to face.

When he gets into his wound up and irritated moods (probably something Viktor said), all you need to do is sit next to him and rub your face lightly against his, or just put your head on his shoulder to settle him down. Mordecai outright deflates, and struggles to hold onto that anger. You can only get away with this once you both are romantically attached and, seriously, you are the only one apart from maybe his sisters (who you probably don't even know about). This is a culmination of years of trust slowly building up; now he can finally start to show shreds of vulnerability.

(Tho if you purr on him he's going to get SO embarrassed he just shoots up and walks away and you flop back on the couch).

As much as you make him lose his composure, he's just as good as giving it back, though totally unaware of it. There's the rather intense staring as mention before, but Mordecai may also just grab your shoulders to keep you still as he adjusts some of your clothes. He's ... surprisingly strong when he wants to be. When you're both on a job with guns drawn, he has a habit of standing in front of you or jumping in front once trouble starts. When you're wounded he sits you right in front of him so he can bandage it up and do what he can and, yes, he will drag you to Elsa even though he's an absurdly difficult patient with her. She tells him as much.

(And he waits right by your side as you slowly wake up from the morphine).

Also ... if you're a lighter-haired cat, esp a long-haired one, he starts finding your hair all over his damn clothes and there is. Not enough lint brushes in the world. Love the mental image of him and Atlas having a discussion, when Atlas just reaches over and pulls off a long, lighter-colored hair off Mordecai's normally impeccable black coat.

Intimacy will still be tough; you almost have to walk him through it. He isn't ignorant of the mechanics, he just dislikes the whole ... business of it. Mordecai will do a little for your sake, and again, it's a lot of building up and easing him to be more comfortable with prolonged touching and intimacy. It's tough to say if this is easier depending on your gender, but regardless, he has to be the one whose more in control and setting the pace (even if you're encouraging him along). And of course, plenty of reassuring that you two can stop at any time.

(This has been stated many times before, but you are the exception. The thought of him being this close and vulnerable and intimate with anyone else makes him nauseous.)

Afterward he almost seems small and skittish in his tall body. Mordecai always has to shower and clean immediately, though it's no insult to you (and he doesn't mind if you join, though he gets very quite and embarrassed). He's just repulsed by filth and sweat in general; you know this, once he's washed up he's a lot more relaxed and even willing to cuddle for a while.

The first few times he had to remember the last time he'd been so close to someone, or even hugged them this long. The best he can remember is when he had to share a bed (more of a mattress) with his sisters when they first came to New York. Rose was still a baby and always cold, while Esther was scared of the noise of cars in the street and rats in the wall. The three kittens would pile up together and tremble until they fell asleep; sometimes their mother would join them, exhausted from work and cold herself. Even when they moved into a slightly less dilapidated apartment, his sisters would sleep in his bed during the frigid winters.

So it while it may surprise you that Mordecai is so close and clingy in his sleep, to him being that close is a very comforting warmth and sense of nostalgia. It's a toss-up with whose the big spoon. This is also one of the only times you'll hear him purr; it's quiet and only lasts a few minutes before he drifts off. Because he wakes up at the crack of dawn, you rarely get to see him sleeping unless you stay up after he falls asleep.

So ... moving onto the whole. Atlas business.

When it all goes down, well. He considered Viktor a good friend, and that friend ended up kneecapped so Mordecai wouldn't have to cross guns with him. An incentive to leave the life that was ruining them. Make no mistake, Mordecai would - while still bloody - warn you about leaving, too. He'd raise his gun at you, hoping the scare would be enough, knowing each second he does is actively tearing down the closest thing to a "other half" he had. His green eyes are cold and frighteing but mentally he is the one begging you to just listen to him and run. Don't make call his bluff, because he can't do it. The very closest he'd get is if you actually tried to stop him, or tried to talk him down, or took the gun - and the nerves would snap, and he'd give a warning shot. A piece of your ear is torn off, and there's a ringing in your head. It could've been your head; he's an excellent shot. He only missed because he wanted to.

It was a warning, but even that makes his hands shake. He's in disbelief that he did it. It was a sort of out of body experience when he shot Viktor, but for this he is vividly, painfully awake. Mordecai retreats from there, unable to make himself do anything else, hoping that's enough to destroy any shred of love you had.

If you stick around with Lackadaisy ...

Well. You and Viktor have a sort of ... awkward, unhealthy bond of being betrayed, with one of you having paid far more dearly than the other... though one could argue while he paid physically, you're paying in feeling like a piece of your heart was ripped out. You wouldn't be blamed for thinking he holds some resentment toward you, but that isn't the case at all. He feels sorry for you, and anger toward Moredcai for what he did to the two of you. There's still the resignation and guilt, but it's tinged with far more anger. Mitzi thanks god one of her best triggermen is still in good form, although - well, you're a little ... different than before. Your hearing still hasn't recovered from that shot, she knows, and the stitch-job wasn't ... the best.

The real problem is when - not if - you and Mordecai ever cross guns again. Mitzi is terrified of that inevitability, and to be fair, Mordecai does his utmost to avoid it. He wants no confrontation, not ever. If you two ever meet again, it's painfully obvious he wants to escape. For many nights, he thought you may hunt him down and shoot him - he'd deserve that much. As much as he's obsessed with the truth behind Atlus' death, if you chose to stop him dead in his tracks, wouldn't he deserve it?

If you left Lackadaisy, all the better. Mordecai may never hear from you again, and he tells himself that's for the best, even if there's a hole where his heart used to be. His mother, his sisters, you, Viktor, Mitzi, Atlas - he's failed many, many people. This is a new feeling, an emptiness, and that is what goads his frantic investigation on what truly happened to Atlas. It may be the only thing he has left.

Regardless if you stay or leave, Mordecai is more irritable and cold to those who knew him before ... though, considering he cut ties, that isn't many. He's a little thinner, and doesn't sleep as well. Asa Sweet couldn't tell the difference, and while the Savoy siblings can tell something isn't quite right, they don't know the history. They've heard stories and rumors, sure. Perhaps Serafine even hears a morsel of some former Lackadaisy gunman he was chummy with... it's all so intriguing. The first time she brought it up, he gave her such a venomous look that it only encouraged her curiosity.

Asa brought you up one time when talking with Mordecai, and holy shit he's never joking about that again. He broke into a sweat.

(Hell, even Mitzi tried to bring you up when she and Mordecai had that private conversation in her car. He shut her down so coldly, it frightened her.)

And yes, that means if you're still doing Lackadaisy operations with Rocky and Freckle, he has to hear about it. He's in the room when Asa gives the order to the Savoy siblings going after you, or worse, if Mordecai is brought onto the job. He makes it clear that he'll take care of you, and they can deal with the rest. Although it always seems like you're able to get away before it comes to that ...

If you two ever had to meet again for an extended period of time, yeah, the ... year of isolation and guilt and hurt (it feels like its been five years) is just palpable. Serafine and Niko quickly piece together that there was some serious history, more than they initially thought ...

Remember those silly photos Mitzi took, and she shared? Maybe you threw your's away, or lost them, but ... Mordecai keeps one in his wallet. If he anticipates trouble (as it always is with the goddamn Savoys), he moves it to his bedside for safekeeping. He's careful about preserving it. The corners are already starting to wear. There's fleeting thoughts of putting it in a picture frame, but - no, that'll just draw attention to it, and what right does he have to keep a photo of someone who hates him? When he thinks of you, he feels that picture burning a hole in his breastpocket. Any photos that have the two of you - even the blurry, distant ones Mitzi took while trying to get used to her camera- he blotted ink on himself, leaving only you there. Back when you had a smile.

Long story short, he's a mess. He's mentally frayed and physically he's not doing great; you're probably just the same. Mitzi worries about your health often, Rocky knows that some days he just shouldn't talk to you. Ivy remembers when she used to chatter away with Viktor, Mordecai and you, but she knows she can't bring those days up anymore. There may even be an odd wall between you two, whereas before you often spoiled and doted on the little Ivy.

There are probably moments in the past year where Mordecai just ... something gets ahold of him, and he goes out to where you live - if you left the city entirely, this would be difficult, but if you were still in St. Louis or stayed with the Little Daisy - he'd just stand out in the street where your home is, feeling incredibly creepy and exposed. Debating if he should write a letter, or leave something or - no, he shoots all those ideas down. He doesn't know if he stays a few minutes or an hour, but eventually the nerves get the better of him and he hurries away, feeling like a rat.

Well, you two were like peas in a pod for years ... it was a bond that neither of you had before, so it makes sense that just a year isn't enough to heal or repair much of it ...
