I'm gonna attempt to make another post talking about stuff I've seen after q's stream, because I saw people say that the last one I made made them feel better, so here we go:

why is he speaking spanish: this is not something I necesserly saw after yesterday, but I did see it last time he streamed a statement regarding qsmp and the fact that he had to start this stream fucking explaining why he's speaking his native language to formulate what he wants to say better is fucking vile to me and anyone that said that last time does not have a right to stay in this fandom or to even talk about this situation.

he does not have a right to sound mad: i'm sorry, but he has every right to sound frustrated, he is not mad at the admins that choose to leave the project, he explicitly says he understand their decision and wishes them the best, he is frustrated at those that have caused damage to the server in the first place and are still the reason why he can't be more open about what's happening. We are talking about his passion project here, of course he's frustrated that this is happening, even if he completely understands why some admins are leaving.

he is enabling hate against lea and others! (people that have leaked information): quackity has every right to cite the reason as to why he can't openly communicate the way he wants to, especially when those leaks have been twisted and used against him by the people that were initially harming the server in the first place (those he fired). He openly says the he doesn't necesserly think that the people that are leaking stuff are aware of how those leaks are actually being used, so he's not blaming any specific person. Actions have consequences, no one is the exception to this rule in this situation.

he says any criticism is invalid!: no he just straight up doesn't. He says he's not bothered by people that give non-constructive critcism and whose goal is clearly to see the project destroyed. If you feel like this statement is a call out to what you have been saying, then maybe you should reflect on what you actually want here and potentially leave. If you have constructive criticism you want to say, once again keep in mind that quackity does not have twitter on his phone and the best way to commuincate something to him is through his public email.

As quackity himself said multiple times, if you're not happy with how things are going and don't want to wait for visible change it's fine, but do not twist and nitpick stuff because you don't want to step away from something if you don't have a "moral" reason to do so. I said this multiple times, but this is just a shitty fucking situation that does not have an easy and quick solution to it, and people will make decisions or mistakes that you will not like on all sides, it does not mean there is malicious intent behind those decisions. Again, we may not know their names and how many there were, but we know who is actually to blame for all of this and I hope quackity is in the process/is gonna be able to sue them. The admins that choose to leave because of any reason have every right to do so, something that quackity himself also expressed on his stream. It is very possible to support them completely while understanding why things are the way they are, as much as everyone fucking dislikes it.

I genuinely hope qsmp is able to come back stronger, however long it takes, because I personally think this project is good and does not deserve to end this way. Much love to everyone, once again remember to have empathy to everyone.

#I might add more depending on what I see but for now this is it #also #do not force the admins to fucking make statements #about if they're leaving or not #let them do what they want #qsmp #qsmp discourse #qadmin situation

Once more!!!!

Rapists and kidnappers are NOT doms.

The difference between a dom and a rapist/kidnapper is consent.

If there has never been a conversation where the "submissive" gave clear consent to the "dominant" to do A SPECIFIC THING, then it is not BDSM, but abuse.

If the "submissive" agrees to one thing but does not agree to another and the "dominant" still goes ahead and does it, then it's ABUSE!!!

Communication and consent.

COMMUINCATION AND CONSENT.

Enjoy your toxic, fictional characters. Love them for what they are. But please, stop saying that abusive men are doms because they are not.

#kinnporsche #vegaspete #thai bl #vegas is an abuser #pete tried to commit suicide!!!!!!!!!!!#kinn is a rapist #porsche was drunk BOTH TIMES #please #i will keep talking about this everytime this convo comes on my dash

Hearing about Bad, having a bad time is crushing. Its clear the lack of commuincation is strainning on people.

It seems like the people who are use to providing and taking care of people. They are getting hit the hardest.

Based on a bunch of fics I used to see about the Greek Gods from PJO having to go to a mortal highschool.

As much as I love the concept, they’re all immortal beings that have been adults for most of forever... not a single one aside from maybe Apollo and Hermes would be able to convincingly pass as teenagers.

Instead I think it would be hilarious if they had to be teachers.

Ares - Gym teacher, the sports teams have never done so well, or been so terrified.

Athena - Math, somehow she can make every word problem relate back to fighting, and the students love it.

Hepheastus - History and Shop, it’s not that the school doesn’t have enough teachers for both classes, it’s that someone tried to tell Hepheastus that and got challenged to a duel using a sword he’d made in Shop class.

Dionysus - Lunch, origonally, he was going to be the Human Growth and Development teacher but then everyone remembered that he worked best around children only when extremely intoxicated (and was prone to driving them mad when not) so it was decided that having to deal with kids for only one hour of the day was probably best.

Hades and Hestia - Home Economics, no one was surprised when Hestia wanted the position, but Demeter was furious when Hades also signed up.

Demeter - Agriculture, half of her students are convinced that she can telepathically commuincate with her plants, the other half are convinced she’s never grown a plant a day in her life.

Aphrodite - School Councillor, after Dionysus, she was going to teach Human Growth and Development, but then they all remembered what happened the last time she was left alone with a group of teenagers and decided it was probably best it didn’t happen again.

Apollo - Choir, Band, Theater, and Art - Now you might be asking yourself, ‘wouldn’t someone have tried to stop him?’ The answer is yes. Yes someone did try and stop him from running four classes, but tried is about as far as it went. In fact all four more or less got combined into one giant four hour class, and none of the other teachers can figure out how. (It’s also a wide spread rumor that occasionally, he’ll sub in for the Creative Writing teacher, and then be the school nurse for the day. But these are all rumors and no one has any proof)

Artemis - Languages, does she cheat and use her godly powers to know every language? Surprisingly no. Because of how often she’s traveling the world, and all of her hunters, she’s naturally picked up several languages.

Hermes - Statistics, while he did have to fight Athena for it, all the students agree that he’s awesome to have as a teacher, mostly because he teaches them some really cool tricks along with the lessons. And while Stats is his main class, it isn’t unusal to see him subbing in for any number of other classes as well.

Hera - Human Growth and Development, the moment Zeus tried to volunteer for the posistion, everyone unanimously voted for Hera to teach it. Both so that they didn’t have any mini Zeus’s running around, but also so that she didn’t fry any new mothers and children. It’s also because she is genuinely good at it.

Poseidon - Swim Coach and Secondary Gym, Ares was pissed that Poseidon took a sports team, and that he managed to weedle his way into a Gym teacher role, but had to let it go, because it’s water and no one is better in the water than Poseidon.

Zeus - Science, everyone else said that if he could come up with a scientific way to explain throwing lightning he could choose a different subject, so the students have been learing a lot about the weather and how to potentially harness it for their own uses like little future movie villains.

BCN Retrospective: Year Two: Station Expansion (Patreon Review for Emma Fici

Hello all you cool cats! We're back on the air and now MONTHLY as Emma graciously agreed to make this her patreon review.

For those just joining us Breaking Cat News is a comic strip by georgia dunn that hit it's 10th anniversary just 11 days ago! So to commemerate this strip i'm chroncling all 9 years of it's existance, with Emma agreeing to sponsor. You can find part 1 HERE covering the first year. In short it's a strip covering three kitties and various aquantinces as they cover all the news that's relevant to cats. It's well done.

Year Two is where the strip starts to hit it's stride. Year one wasn't bad by any stretch. It had plenty of all time classics, including my personl faviorit I can't help but notice you only have two arms.

But while Year One has the strip's magic lightning in a bottle premise of cats reporting on things that happen from a cat's perspective, not quite getting how humans work and often explaning some of the weird things the cats in Georgia's life, the strip's other major strength is it's characters. With Year One it took a bit for the big three to really FEEL like themselves, while from the start of Year Two it's clear she has a solid idea of who these guys are in fiction, links it well to their real life selves, and thus the comedy only gets richer. While the premise is solid, the strip wouldn't be as good as it was if our main trio, later expanded to six, weren't so great and bounced off of each other, their humans and their supporting cast so well. Said supporting cast also gets expanded from two cats the guys hadn't met yet and one outdoor cat whose now their best friend: this year formally introduces Tabitha and Figaro and adds Sophie, Burt, Baba Mouse and the Robber Mice to the mix, all of which have been key fixtures in the strip since, while also adding the Girl on the human side. The humans also start to feel slightly more fleshed out, paticuarllyt he man whose exasperation with his stupid cat children coming more into view. It's what any second act of a work should be: somethign that only gets better and only enriches what was there. So let's dive into it under the cut?

Year two starts with a lot of buisness as usual. We get followup on Tommy getting a mic at the end of his christmas adventure, with him now being field reporter.. and his woman reacting approriately int he face of her pet having gottten lost

But the story really picks up shortly in with our first major story arc

Laudrevous

We begin with Lupin having found the laundry chute and with this year his dynamic with Elvis, one of the best parts of the strip is settled. Lupin and Elvis bigger like an oldest brother and youngest brother would, with puck as the calm peacekeeping middle child: Elvis acts stern, disgruntled and snarky with his jabs while Lupin tries to simply needle his brother with various verbal jabs at his vulnerabilities to get a rize out of Elvis, which works EVERY TIME.

Naturally Lupin ends up down the Chute and while Elvis is just as naturally annoyed, Puck condones with his exploration , as he finds his way to the laundry room for the first time nad explores it… and while he enjoys the quiet ironically enough.. he's not as alone as he thinks.

Of course this being Lupin it takes some brotherly shouting to realize he's not alone

He panics and we find out how Lupin commuincates with the others: he can read whiskers, a nice cat take on lipreading, and only can't understand Fig because he's not speaking english, but a quick nose sniff, the first of many in this strip, communicates that this guy is alright.

Lupin soon becomes more concerned iwth capering, and gets reported on by some non family cats for a change, with us getting subtitles for the first time. In the redo of the storyline we get this the whole time for reasons we'll get to in a moment, but I decided to save looking at the now translated dialouge for when I do those versions. For now it's clear the "cat of adventure" is okay and isn't stealing the laundry room. Naturally exactly who you expect takes it exactly as you'd expect and does exactly what you'd expect

It's a nice early show that while Lupin may bug the hell out of elvis on a daily basis… he loves his little brother and would be the first to kill for him shoudl the need arise. It really hasn't here but Elvis reacted to the kindest cat in the world with

Thankfully this time.. the kind new kitty has some backup to speed this up a bit

Tab instantly sets herself up as Lupin's rival: just as fierce.. but her temper's on far less of a hair trigger and only really gets pissed off when confronted and only threatens to tear Elvis' world asunder the second he harms her best friend. It's a shame her role kinda gets reduced as she goes, with other cats we'll meet taking up the roll of keeping Elvis in check. It's not a bad thing, it's just glear. Fig meanwhile… is just kinda there. I love his design and he's perfectly friendly but even when we can understand what he's saying he dosen't relaly stand out nearly as much as the other cats or his roomates and it's telling in most storylines even when he IS present it's Tabitha doing most of the talking. He's really either Lupin's friend or Tabitha's brother and roomate and dosen't get much beyond that.

Anyways long story short the guys escape the laundry room before the humans find them and our heroes now have a place to meet the neighbors.

Back in the apartment things have seemingly calmed with Elvis accepting the toddler.. and you allk now what that means

After the cats deal with everyone being gone, Lupin in paticular doing so with his usual grace , ellegance and dignity.....

Our heroes adjust to their new sibling/surrogate child. And while Elvis was a jealous older sibling about the boy.. when it comes to the girl?

It's sweet and really adds to Elvis: while he's.. elvis about being her protector as you'd expect, just check that last panel, it shows he has a parental side and where as he just kinda coped with the boy he actively encourages the girl like she was his own, as we'll see when he gets a kitty child next time.

We also get lupin mastering naked invisibility, and magic wind boxes, and the retun of the menace of the july bug. Again image limits mean I have to say all this but trust me it's awesome. What I did make sure I had space for was one of the sweetest moments in the strip

So after a lot of great strips, it's finally time for another arc. I'm not complaning mind:I like the strip breaking up storylines with various shenanigans of the cats and it's what makes the strip work, giving things time to breath before heavy serilzation kicks in. I mean these days just about everything is a storyline, but some are just weird stuff the cats are doing and some add more to the world or progress things. If I gloss over the strips inbetween and when we get to the uversal strips, sundays i'ts not out of lack of care btu more because I only have so much space because Tumblr is a butt. So with that we've reached

The AV Cat

This arc opens with a fantastic twist on the "ther'es a cat in the backyard" gag…

(burt) Naturally Elvis takes this with all the dignity and grace we know him for while Tommy gets to know our mysterious knew stranger, finding out his name is Burt and he's a laidback, kind barn cat. He also explains how he's here and how we haven't seen him before.

Burt's handsomeness to the other cats will be another runner, particularly with Pucky but everyone gets in on it. Burt being a casual sort invites Tommy along on his rounds as he heads to work. Burt takes tommy to his barn, as Burt is a barn cat. For those who've never seen one, Barn cats live in barns, mostly keeping out vermin. I"ve seena bout one and was sad it didn't want me to pet it. It's a nice way to shake it up as most other cats we see live in apartments and eventually most of the domestic ones we see live in the big pink house with only burt and someone we'll meet next time as the exceptions. Burt isn't alone there either. Not only do most of the barn animals flirt with him.. but he's not the only cat here

Baba is based on an elderly cat Georgia used to die who was long dead before the strip started and thus reinvented here as a longtime barn cat whose near feral, has a ton of children, and as you can tell takes not one iota of shit from anyone, not even Burt who as we'll learn later but i'm just gonna go ahead and reveal now, is her grandson. The Robber Mice you see there will, like Baba, be important later, but for now this is just setting them up for said later. THe focus is still on burt as TOmmy asks the question i'm sure we all had.

Naturally our heroes curosity is peaked.. and Elvis being concerned about Tommy (though naturally trying to brush it off) asks if there's a way Burt can link their home broadcasts so they can check in on him normally. Burt is fine with that as long as they have a place to meet.. so naturally our heroes settle on the laundry room and convince las gatos to buy in, and the next strip we se them test the new connections out.. and see that Tommy has a roomate.

While Las Gatos agree to mostly use it just for emergencies, the broadcasts are now linked and thus our heroes can check in with tommy anytime.. and as a result we find out he has a roomate.

We'll learn more about her later but with that the cast is mostly complete. There's more to come of course, but it was a trip to realize most of the core characters were introduced within the first two years, with two major additions next year to round it out until Georgia got some more real life cats and thus needed to expand to captalize on their real life shenanigans.

Seen a Ghost

Unlike with the last arc it's not as much of a lull between stories as we get our next one with a pretty important addition to the lore. Breaking Cat News mostly sticks to reality.. granted it's a reality where all the cats are reporters and have access to clothes, phones and whatever else they need, but their still bound by actual cat diets and the world is basically just "our world but with talking reporter cats"… but this arc introduces the one fantastical aspect beyond that….

Yup there's a ghost in his home, and it's better than being alone as she's a friendly reporter cat, though for radio as we'll find out much later, named Tillie. Ghosts are real in this setting, and will show up sporadically. It's something I had to adjust to pretty quick as when reading the daily strips without the context of the archive, as I hadn't caught up yet, I was shocked to find this setting had ghosts , let alone fairly detailed ghost lore. I"m okay with it as A) again we have to accept the cats being more sapient and wearing people clothes already so why not and B) it's a touching way to include pasts cats Georgia has had or known.

Thankfully though Puck is not the ONLY one to see the ghost as Tabitha does too, alerting her owner. Both The Woman and the Ceiling Woman agree ther'es a ghos tin their house and decide to do the stupid horror movie move of trying to contact it.. though fine in this case as it's an adorable sitcom about cats, and this ghost is one we know is harmless. She talks about Freddie, the owner of the house and the "new addition" something that will be vastly important MUCCCHHH later. For now our heroines try to summon the dead, while our heroes try to figure out who the heck this cat or Freddie is,

And Tommy interviews a possible eye witness

… and despite not seenig it… the ladies conjur up ANOTHER spirit

Our heroes are spooked naturally, though the man does find a valuable clue.. a cat skull, which is distressing…. and of course leaves Pucky with a less than inveable task

We soon find out just who the cat and her woman are as we get our major dollop of backstory for the house and the vauge new england town it resides in, all stuff Gerogia added: Turns out the woman was Freddie Quinn, who founded the Quinn Animal shelter that used to be housed in the Big Pink House and would go on to own a good chunk of the town owning Quinn Animal Shelter (which is now housed elsewhere and is where Tommy's woman works) and Quinn Farms (Where burt and baba live). Despite being a rich lady she was a kind one who used her wealth wisely and loved cats.. and as you can guess founded the shelter because she lost her own cat as a child, living in the same houes and making it into the intial site of the rescue because of that. It's a truly moving, well done story.

The sendoff is also truly moving as they bury the skull next to freddie.. which is technically illegal but well worth the possible fines, and as everyone says goodbye to the mow mow… two souls finally reunite and Elvis finallys ees ghosts

We also get him apologizing earlier to Puck, admitting he was probably right .. and getting that conformation here. It's a touching story that both sets up the house ghosts, yes there will be more, and the quinn backstory. With that we breifly move on to some othe rbuisness.

We start by finding out what Sophie's deal is.

Also if you noticed her greyed out eye, that's because, like her real life counterpart, Sophie's blind in one eye. It took a while for me to tell if it was that or just two diffrent colors, but looking at her real life counterpart you can find on tommy's old facebook (which she inherited), you can tell.

And with that and a brief comment on the cucumber phenomenon that certainly was a thing, we enter our final arc of the year with

Pucky's Christmas Tips

Where Puck gives out fun christmas tips for the whole family and nothing remotely bad happens. Goodnight and

Oh yeah… sorry hang on

All I Want For Christmas is Revenge

There we go. So those mice I mentioned now take center stage. It's also why I emphasized buzzy mouse: while their around a lot , this arc has them as the centerpiece. As for who the robber mice are, Burt helpfully fills our heroes in, a nice way to tie in his barn cat experince that sadly just dosen't get used very often. (The robber mice)

I'm also putting this up because keeping track of these gals can be confusing: i've BARELY just started keeping them straight. It probably dosen't helped I binged the series, and thus four characters who only ocasionally speak each others names all wearing the same outfit and in most frames appearing fairly small despite their distinct coats… is a lot for my autistic ass to process. But i'm trying to drill it in to make this easier on myself.

Turns out the mice have sent a randsome note AND have been stealing the main family's stuff for a while now. And sadly.. the stress of this combined with the sheer fact four strangers did this to him breaks poor pucky. It won't be the last time he snaps , if the only time literally, but it's notable as one of the few times it's not played for laughs.. entirely

While all the mice play a roll here, the story is really centered around the sisters of the two, Alice and Agnes. Which doe shep keeping them straight as the other tow, violet and natasha, get a full origin story later. Agnes, like puck is the heart of her merry band and wants her sister to please stop this before it gets worse. Alice is determined though and while she denis it Agnes rightly pegs it's having nothing for christmas and wanting to take what she wants and not returns what she gets… if only because what they get is nothing. Violet and Natasha…

Our heroes plot, with Lupin rightly pointing out they get MAYBE two cheese cubes in a week if their lucky, so asking for a cheese wheel was a bit much to begin with, btu they simply use a hollowed out tin to trick them. The fight however dosen't go great: most of the robber mice scatter while Alice shows she's her group's elvis by jabbing the crap out of him with a needle. Thankfullyt his is a family strip so it's just a little ouchy. They do however capture poor little Agnes, but in a show of Puck's character.. he clearly feels terrible about it and Agnes, who like him is the heart of her group, admits this won't FIX things: her sister and sisters from another misters will just attack. Burt then gives his new buddy some very sage advice

PUck goes to free agnes.. only to get attacked by her sisters, with the station held hostage. Thankfully this dosen't last long as while Tommy can't help, and is really only here to set up a heartwarming scene later… Agnes is gone, and Buzzy Mouse is delivered to the statoin. The mice return home and find agnes happily watching Our IX LIves, the strip's in universe cat soap opera. More on that next time…. and she also has a guest.

This is the arc that really defines Baba: in her previous cameo she was just sorta old, grumpy and somehow still adorable, but here we see her role as the wise peacekeeper of the area. She got both sides were just misguided and rightfully guessed things wouldn't desclate unless someone stepped in. Had she not things likely only would've gotten worse. By simply giving each side their friend back, she stopped it. IT shows while she's crotchety.. she prefers peace and diplomacy over biting and hissing. I mean with her fellow animals, with humans it's bite o clock bitches.

She also outlines the flaw in Alice's plan: christmas spirit isn't given by taking and Alice realizes Agnes only got taken in the first place because she was there. Baba encourages the mice to give instead of recive.. and that forgivness dosen't come in the bxo and if you'll excuse me i'm cryin a bit because this is geninely touching.. especially since burt somehow got a camera in the mice's lair, or bugged his grandma. Either one wouldn't suprise me.

So christmas morning comes with all their lost things returned, and the cats in turn gifting the mice the woman's phone to give them a bigger tv and some cheese crackers, while Elvis gifts Natasha a sewing kit, natasha him bandages nad for Lupin a cats cradle. It's a war mmoment capped off with one final bit of swetteness from the mice and cats, now friends

And to take us out we get one final bit of cheer with thomas and sophie, and after sophie has spent the whole time treating Tommy as announace instate d of her brother, roomate and friend.. we get this truly heart melting moment

WIth that christmas is done, and with a few more strips, year 2 is too. As I said it's a year of expansion, with most of the space being dedicated to storylines, and not in a bad way: the four story arcs here really help flesh out the world, allow us to view Tommy's apartment and thus meet sophie. With our main cast mostly solid, with any further changes mostly coming from evolving as time goes on as most great comic strip characters do, Georgia felt free to expand and said expansion , while not as rapid, will continue next time as our station gets an intern. Until then thanks for reading.
