#bombay mix

[clatterbane]

Minor snack haul from another trip to Bazaar this evening. I actually showed some restraint, including picking the smallest thing of halva that I saw.

Somewhat amusingly, that Bombay mix (from Bradford) was one of my least favorite brands when we were still in the UK. But, I couldn't resist grabbing a bag when I spotted it today.

Think I may have to grab a little of both snacks in a few minutes. I already have some coffee, so the tea can wait.

I was getting worried that my cat has been getting chunky lately bc she's very spoiled but apparently she's just tiny bc the standard for the type of cat she is is like 10-15 pounds and she weighed in at 9.6 yesterday lmaooo

#I'm sad I lost her paperwork when I moved out from my mom's years ago but her initial owner did provide papers that at least Alleged #Luna t9 be a Ragdoll/Bombay mix which is consistent with her markings and demeanor #but when ragdolls are generally 10-20lbs #and Bombays are 8-15lbs... #and 9.6 is Chunky Luna #I really did just get a tiny model #also Alleged as there is a bunch of fuckery in accurate cat labeling + I don't trust that fuck + Who cares she is baby

rosalind cannot handle spice and she gets mad if something is overly spicy every single time.

For your event for blade (smut is ok)

Easier to care for animal

Fem reader

I’m shy when you first get to know me but then I’m nice even if I don’t like you. I tend to be empathetic if you cross me one but if you do it again I’m less empathetic. I’m very dark sometimes.

TW: Bombay!Blade (cat), ruts, marking/biting, knotting, belly bulge, size kink, doggy style, mention of kittens.

You were the smallest owner he's ever had, and he constantly had to remind himself to hold back. He'd break you if he didn't, and that was the last thing Blade wanted, especially after growing so fond of you. Still, that didn't stop him from letting his claws sink into the flesh of your hips, earning a small whine from you that sounded like heaven as his cock slowly sank into you. His grip tightened as your warm walls hugged him, clenching around him in such a premature way.

His tail swayed behind him, and his ears flattened against his head as he let out a small breath. His thumbs gently stroked your skin, swirling in a circular motion just above your tailbone. Blade's hips then moved at a slow pace, letting his cock repeatedly ease in and out of your tight cunt. Your body rocked slowly with his, and his jaw clenched when your walls tightened around him a second time. Were you teasing him? Oh, you little minx.

Your body squirmed, much to his dislike, and the hybrid leaned over you, his chest pressed firmly against your back. "Stay still," he whispered. But you didn't listen, and it prompted him to sink his teeth into your neck. He tried his best to be as gentle as possible while holding you down, your body now pressed firmly against the mattress as his rutting quickened. His eyes lowered and he inhaled your sweet scent before closing his eyes.

Blade quickly let his instincts take over, and his hips crashed into you even faster now, letting the sound of his balls against your ass echo in the bedroom. He couldn't control himself now, and you moaned when he bit down harder, his teeth just barely passing the point of breaking your skin entirely. The hybrid couldn't help it. You were smaller than him, and you couldn't even take all of him, but he would make you.

A final thrust and a low growl from him as he buried himself in your pussy sent you reeling. A mix between a gasp and a moan fell from your lips, only furthering when you felt an immense pressure as his knot swelled up inside of you. Your stomach bulged a little, and you whined softly when Blade pressed down on it with his hand. He loved the way he felt himself in you like that. The way his knot kept any cum from seeping out. He wouldn't let any of it go to waste. He's never been one for kittens, but the mere thought has him wanting another round. Perhaps one day.

Booze Review

A little review of a couple of fun drinks. I was amusing myself…  I went to look for a bottle of something highly recommended, which the local liquor store (nice big one with good selection, relevant later) tells me has been discontinued. Since I was there, and we don’t actually drink nor shop for booze all that often, I poked around. I enjoy rum, for mixing, and was out, so I picked up what I…

I thought there was a breed of short-legged cats where the trait wasn’t connected to anything harmful, but now you’re saying Munchkins are unhealthy. Is there some other breed I’m getting them mixed up with or do I need to completely bin my daydream of getting a stumpy lil’ cat?

I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but I'm referring to the same short-legged breed. All short legged cat breeds (napoleon, rughugger, scottish kilt, minuet, minskin, etc) all can be traced back to mixes with the Munchkin cat.

Physical health-wise Munchkins are better off than some other breeds, though due to their short legs they have a greater chance at developing things like osteoarthritis. There is some evidence munchkins also have deformations or malalignment of their limbs, though this hasn't been studied extensively. The gene that causes the short legs is also lethal when a cat has two copies, meaning like the burmese and bombay, poor breeding practices can lead to stillborn kittens.

Another issue that stems from Munchkins are the fact that their main breed trait (the short legs) prevents them from fulfilling usual cat behaviours like climbing, running, scratching, grooming, and jumping. Some Munchkins fare better than others, but research suggests cats of that breed will suffer some lower quality of life due to the limitations of their shorter legs on their ability to act like cats.

You can read more about Munchkins and their health here and here. I do have to note that Munchkins are not an extensively researched breed, so there may or may not be further underlying issues related to their short legs.

Some suggestions for experimenting with Jewish practice and experiencing Jewish culture

Observe one full Shabbat. For 25 hours, do no work- not even the laundry. Attend services, read and relax, but don't go shopping or cook. If you have children, do something fun together as a family on Saturday afternoon.

Attend a synagogue-sponsored retreat for a sense of what a complete communal day of rest can be.

Try to keep kosher in a basic way for a month as a way to infuse one of the most basic of human needs with Jewish content. At home and when you eat out, avoid all shellfish and pork products, don't mix meat and milk, read the labels in the supermarket and don't buy foods prepared with lard.

Plan and host a holiday celebration.

Go shopping in a kosher food store and Jewish bookstore.

Attend Jewish theater performances, Jewish choral groups, shows by touring Israeli pop stars.

Tour the local Jewish community center (JCC).

Attend an Israel Independence Day celebration.

If you are a member of a congregation, get involved in a congregational program or two. Attend an adult education class or sisterhood events. Volunteer for committee work.

Include Jewish tours and expeditions while on vacation or business trips. In New York City, visit the lower east side, the Jewish Museum and Ellis Island. In Washington go to the Holocaust Museum. In Rome, visit the ancient Jewish ghetto. Whether you find yourself in Baltimore or Bombay, try to find the oldest Synagogue in the city, or makes a pilgrimage to the best Jewish deli. If you're in a strange city on Shabbat, go to services at a local synagogue.

Blue Eye Samurai characters as animals

First of all, let me just reassert my dog Taigen agenda.

Like I keep talking about it but this man really growls and barks like a dog, and yaps and follows Mizu around like a puppy.

I don't know much about dog breeds but my first thought was German Shepherd for Taigen. Typical guard dog you know? Fierce, aggressive, loyal, and very disciplined when trained.

Or maybe he'd be an Akita? Since that's a Japanese dog breed, and they're also large and powerful. They're quite similar to German Shepherds, not only in appearance, but they're also good as guard dogs and hunting dogs, though they're less predictable and not as family-friendly.

Also in Japanese folklore, dogs tend to be seen as auspicious guides and protectors that have the power to resist evil spirits and demons. Dog statues are often placed at city gates to ward off thieves and robbers. Ties back to guard dog behaviour lmao, and brings to mind how the Shogun praised Taigen's loyalty and specifically requested that Taigen be one of the people guarding him at his side.

Okay next, moving on, let's talk about cat Mizu, which I've also talked about before, but okay. Just look at this.

Neko Mizu my beloved.....!!! Scrunkly and scrungy. Graceful predators, introverted and mysterious, but feisty, unassuming little creatures of chaos. WILL scratch you without hesitation.

Also I think she'd specifically be a black cat, because of the prejudice towards black cats as "unlucky." Similar to how Mizu is discriminated against as people believe she's a "monster."

It's also interesting to note that cats have several different forms within Japanese folklore, from the deadly and malevolent nekomata, to shapeshifting bakeneko, to the waving figurine of the maneki-neko placed in shops to bring in prosperity. Some theorise that the diverse range of folklore stories regarding cats is related to how the species is not indigenous to Japan, which is also interesting when you recall that Mizu is mixed race.

I feel that she could honestly be any domestic black cat, but if I had to choose a specific breed, then I think she'd suit a Bombay. Very glossy black coats. Muscular but lean. Very panther-like. Only thing is that Bombays are known for their special copper eyes, but the fact that eye colour is a notable thing about their breed is also a very interesting parallel.

And I know I said in my previous post (linked above) that Ringo is the exhausted but loving caretaker of the two of them, but Ringo has an animal form too! He's a tanuki, also known as Japanese raccoon dogs! In folklore, they're silly little guys, happy and mischievous, a little absent-minded and goofy, but they're shapeshifting masters of disguise.

Also, in canon, Ringo literally lived with a family of tanuki during winter at some point in his life! He talks about this when he meets Mizu in the first episode. Image below is a concept of a deleted scene, courtesy of Brian Kesinger, the show's head of story.

Next, Akemi. Now, I know she has all that bird symbolism going on, but Mizu also had horse symbolism (due to her connection with her horse Kai). So, personality and design-wise, I don't think the symbolism has to necessarily match up. And with that said, I would like to propose another idea: I think Akemi is more like a fox!

Like I'm convinced she is in fact a beautiful kitsune in disguise. Because kitsunes in Japanese folklore are known to shapeshift into beautiful women, and are very elegant, cunning and intelligent, which seems a lot like Akemi to me!

So yeah that's it. They're a bunch of cute animals. The end.

the sbg crew as cats

Ashlyn is a red Siamese because Siamese are (apparently) the most aggressive cat breed, but can be often shy around strangers

Aiden is a bengal-Bombay mix. Bengals are energetic, and the Bombay is a hint to his natural hair colour

Ben is a chocolate rag doll. They’re calm and quiet, and also big and fluffy (a nod to his sturdy build)

Tyler is an Abyssinian. Abyssinians are protective, like Tyler is of his family.

Along with being protective, Abyssinians are also cuddly and friendly, making it perfect for Taylor

Lastly, Logan is a Norwegian forest cat, seeing as they’re pretty intelligent, and a bit shy around new people, however, they warm up quickly.

unsent - 1989

[Excerpt from an unsent letter found on Robert “Hob” Gadling’s shelf in the Library of the Dreaming]

Dear Stranger,

Funny.

You know, you’d think with all my years of writing letters and sending letters and burning letters I’d be better at writing them. Maybe I’m just too talkative for my own good. All these words get jumbled up in my head and stop just before they leak out of my pen; it’s easier to talk it out. Stream of consciousness and whatnot. I shall endeavor to do my best, but I’m no James Joyce.

Anyway, letters. I didn’t exchange letters with Eleanor, though I learnt them some twenty-odd years before we met. Ironic, nowadays, for a printer to be illiterate, but you know how it was in those days. I’m sure you’re well-read, you seem the type to love stories. Grand ones, probably. Myths and folksongs, and those crappy paperbacks that Summer lends me.

(We met in Lucerne. Cloud topped mountains, clear waters. Lots of cows and cats everywhere you look. There’s this lion relief that’s there, looks straight from those C.S. Lewis books. Anyway, we saw the lion, walked the bridge and ended up having a drink. She was on break and was working on her thesis on Gender Communication in Germany during the 1400’s and I was drinking my way through the rest of Europe. So it goes. She’s a good friend.)

Eleanor had wide handwriting. Probably wasted more coin on journals for her than I could afford, but it was worth it to watch her smile and worth it more to glimpse her doodling in the margins. I started copying her O’s, I think. A reminder.

Elspeth and I exchanged letters like currency. A last-ditch effort to resist the novel of the telephone on her part. She loved old things. (ha) But was so excited when we sat for a daguerreotype the very first time. As always, she was late to the trend, but I remember the moment afterwards, when everything had cured and the photographer had tilted the copper plate to catch the light and I could see us standing there, clear as a reflection in glass, all miniature and solemn. I kept it until I couldn’t anymore. Lost it on a sailing ship out from Bombay in 1912, I think. I remember it though. She had spidery print, like she was always pressed for time. She filled both sides and more every time she wrote me. Tried to learn shorthand to save time but she would get it all mixed in with her cursive instead. I swear it was like I was deciphering code at times! Her long spiking Y’s still follow my hand. It gets messy and I tend to smudge, as you no doubt can tell.

I don’t know if you know any of this already. You know everyone so… I suppose you probably know this all too.

Well.

Enough stalling I suppose.

I waited for you. Into the wee hours, until Martin, the bartender, clicked on the lights and told me to go home. Smoked a whole pack and then some out back afterwards, loitering by my car like some bloody dolt. I kept thinking, “Maybe this’ll be him.” Stupid, I know. I feel like a sucker. Some great idiot. Like this is all one cosmic joke. I know you’re not human, I’m no fool. You’re long-lived like me, that is certain. You were interested once. In my experience. In me. I wonder how long you can hold a grudge. Two hundred years? Three? I’ll wait for you. Of course I will. I shouldn’t have said what I did back then. I should’ve thought it through. But, here I am, talkative, stream of consciousness. All fancy words for someone who doesn’t know when to shut the fuck up. When not to push.

I should’ve just said it outright. That I’m lonely too. It gets hard and then it gets better. But it’s easier when we’re not alone. People need people. And who knows? Maybe you’re not people. But you’re my friend Maybe I’m not either, not anymore. And us not-people need to stick together. I would weather the loneliness with you if you’d have me.

I wish I could see you. I wish it wasn’t like this. Me, waiting and wanting. I want to see you. I want to know you. I want more of you, in every way.

I’ll be here, in 2089.

I promise.

I promise.
