I think I may have successfully taught Holly Mop her first "trick."
I've been verbally 'booping' her nose more often than usual, primarily because she keeps shoving her snout in my face, checking me over for migraines.
So whenever she started snuffling my forehead, I'd ask, "can I have a boop?" and boop her on the snoot.
Well, the boop request has now evolved into me saying, "can I get a boop?" and Holly Mop bopping me on the nose. It started out as her just sort of cracking her tiny fuzzy head against mine, but after realizing this was not conducive to healing migraines, she has now started excitedly licking my nose whenever a boop is requested.
And you can't just say "boop?" No, it has to be "can I have a boop?" and then she'll launch herself at my face and lick me squarely on the nose, tail wagging frantically because Mama has asked for a boop! Holly Mop has booped Mama!! Request fulfilled!!!
You can tell she thinks it's funny too, because she always scoots back lightning fast with this big tongue-lolling grin on her face, just full of all the Shih Tzu chuffs and sneezes as she sits back on her haunches like ho-ho, I got you before you got me, I am so clever.
Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when Orin revealed herself as the new "Chosen" of Bhaal after she lobotomized Durge. Would love to see how Gortash and Ketheric reacted in the moment.
I can just see it. Orin, standing there, as smug as the cat that got the cream, knowing that as much as they may despise her they have no choice but to accept her into their little club. She has the netherstone and Bhaal's favour, Durge's blood still coats her hands and blades, without her, their perfect plan falls apart. They need her, which means she finally belongs.
Gortash, torn between rage and grief, desperately wanting to ask about the fate of his lover/BFF, but knowing that doing so would expose a vulnerability, one he doesn't want to share with fucking *Orin* of all people. Him trying his best to appear collected, unaffected, snidely questioning if Orin will be up to the task, all the while the sound of metal grinding together echoes his words, as he clenches his fists so hard the delicate filigree bends and breaks, and the claws draw blood.
Ketheric, who is too tired and depressed to muster any anger, feeling himself age another 100 years when he realises the plan, his bargain with Myrkul, and his dear Isobel's life now lie on the blood-sticky hands of Bhaal's most deranged offspring. Ketheric being the one to lay a hand on Gortash's shoulder, push him back to his seat, when it looks like the man is a second away from jumping over the table and strangling Orin.
He may not have understood whatever it was that Gortash and Durge had going on, but he understands loss all too well, and allows himself a kernel of empathy with his coconspirator, and orders Orin to behave, be the Chosen she claims to be.
(afterwards, he remembers the overwhelming despair he felt in his own grief, and sends Gortash interesting devices and trinkets - that jiggery -pockery that he likes- so he has something to occupy his mind with. For the good of the plan, or because he can't help but pity the poor man)
Today I created my own holiday called “handle your shit saturday” in which I had to actually deal with all the shit piling up in my house and actually do the projects I’d been planning and it was so satisfying and made me feel SO much better. If you’re struggling rn, I highly recommend, even if you just handle a small chunk of your shit, giving it a name made it feel all official and whatnot and somehow let me trick myself into doing things I’ve been putting off since November.

what if Dean killed Charlie himself for helping Sam with the book of the damned instead of immediately telling Dean what was happening. what if he still told Sam it was his fault for putting Charlie in harm’s way (in this scenario, anywhere near Dean with the mark on him, despite her and Sam trying to remove said mark?) what if Dean had actually killed someone important to him who trusted him and loved him?
