Fun fact: in Anishinaabemowin, the term for a cat purring is "nagamo gaazhagehns" / "nagamo biizhehns" / " nagamo boozhehns" (different dialects have varying words/spellings for a house cat)
But the main thing is that "nagamo" is the verb for "he/she/that one sings"
Cat purring in Anishinaabemowin is essentially called "cat singing"

Hardspace Shipbreaker is a weird game isn't it
The actual mechanics of it are deeply satisfying (everything goes CLUNK when you undo the cut points, even though inside ships there's this careful difference of audio between pressurised and unpressurised spaces, because it not going CLUNK would be sad) and even tiny things like encountering a stray bolt and it going 'dink' off your helmet are just really nicely done
And I love all the death messages, 'Lynx reminds you that shipbreakers dying horribly can cause serious paperwork for Lynx executives', and so on
Plot spoilers follow...
But the plot is... Kind of all over the place? OK, so Lou is the agitator, Deedee is older and too tired and has seen too much, and Kaito is the kid who doesn't know any better. I called them killing off Kaito really early, by the way (they don't commit to it! you can't just un-kill characters it makes the moment entirely worthless, though to be fair to them they did set up the fake-out with his mic problems in act one)
Hal is the petty shopfloor supervisor with no real power who's interpersonally worse than the actual boss, BECAUSE he has no real power and knows it - god I have met too many of these people - and Weaver is Space Dad. We love Space Dad.
OK, they're archetypes but that's fine. And the plot is ... sort of meant to be about unions? Don't get me wrong, the day of industrial sabotage was fun as hell (or would have been, if you got CREDIT for blowing a fuel tank and shredding a load of panels, but the panels don't count as destroyed until they've been thrown in the furnace so now you just gave yourself loads of tiny bits to sweep up. sigh)
And so the resolution is 'you got yourselves some attention and the regulators stepped in and now you don't owe Lynx a gajillion dollars'. Hooray! But the thing is, this does not work as a game climax because obviously the mechanics don't change. So you're still being given ships with broken atmosphere regulators and told "don't cause an explosive decompression". You're still cleaning up ghost ships that Lynx says aren't full of ghosts. There's still no way to unfasten a Quasar thruster without shoving your entire head down the barrel and hoping you don't catch fire. Because the game was built as 'industrial hell' and it still IS!
Also I had a few tens of mils to tidy up before I could do the big ending cutscene, so I did a few shifts after the 'union victory' cutscene and there was this one conversation between Deedee and Kaito where she told him not to work free overtime. Good message: don't. But the reasoning just wasn't there. Deedee just said "do it the next day when you're getting paid" and Kaito complained about having to set up again the next day. Nobody said: You don't work free overtime because that's scabbing. If you do the work of two breakers, you're leaving a breaker in the unemployment line and you're endangering your colleagues who only do the work of one. Lou would have known that - why wasn't she in that conversation?
I dunno. Really felt like Baby's First Worker Solidarity, I felt it could have respected the player's intelligence a bit more. Maybe it's just because it was made by North Americans and getting them to notice that workers even exist as a class is fairly difficult. Apparently Blackbird are on a four day work week, though, so good for them!
P.S. don't organise against the company via the company email server you fuckwits

Alone time
Ash Lynx x reader
A/n: Banana fish broke me, but writing is my coping mechanism, so...This is an AU where Ash and the reader are married and live in Japan, Ash being a model. Also, Shorter is alive cause I said do ( i would die for him to live tbh). I am so sorry for any mistakes.
Tumblr media
     Babysitting is a very challenging task, especially when the kid is a carbon copy of the most intelligent, cheeky and bratty man Eiji had ever met. Isaac Callenreese was giving the man a headache and pills were not fixing it. Sure, he knew what he was getting into and knew how much Ash and Y/N needed a break from parenting, but why on earth did he agree? At least Shorter was there to help him right?
     Wrong! Shorter was like a second kid. Yelling, running, coloring, making a mess and getting little Isaac even more agitated. Just how much energy did the 5 year old have? 
“Shorter, please! You are 30! Your playing days are over. You’re gonna break something and I will yell. I almost had Isaac under control, but then you came along to ruin the peace we had. Isaac come here right now or I’ll call Ash!”
“Jeez, Eiji...you almost sound like a grandpa! I haven’t seen Isaac in about a year. I missed him a lot, you know? Little gremlin did a lot of growing up!” said Shorter, with the same goofy smile he had all those years ago. Isaac was seated on the his lap, looking up at his favourite uncle with a wide grin. Based off the resemblance between him and Ash, Eiji could already sense some sort of comment coming.
“Nuh-uh. I wanna stay right here. Call dad “dad” please. And I love uncle Shorter, he’s taller, funnier and smarter than you, uncle Ji. He was telling me how dad knows how to ride a motocycle! It doesn’t get better than this!”
“Yes it does. If you stay quiet for five more minutes, I can get the rice done and I can tell you how Ash and Y/N..”
“Mom and dad, uncle Ji!”
“How mom and dad met while we eat. Does that sound nice?”
“Dunno, let me ask uncle Shorter too.” The two began whispering to each other while Eiji rolled his eyes. Just one more hour and Ash would be here to pick his spawn up. After a minute, both Shorter and Isaac nodded their heads and went to sit down at the kitche table.
     Once the table was set and the rice was done cooking, Eiji put it is bowls are brought it to the table. They all dug in, but Isaac seemed to be watching Eiji with great intrest, expecting the story he was promised.
“So Ash and Y/N...”
“Mom and dad. Continue uncle Ji.”
“Mom and dad met around 9 years ago. They met here, in Tokyo, and I am proud to announce that I am the one who got them to meet up, since Y/N went to the same highschool as me. We were both on the drama club in my third year. She was about 2 years younger than me, but she was so mature. Anyway, they started dating around three months after they met. The had a really pretty relationship. You dad was so hooked he embarrassed himself in front of her on multiple ocations. They got married two years later, lived together for two more years and then you came along. You were a very loved little boy. I wish I took a picture of the face your dad made when he held you for the first time.”
“Yeah! He teared up, but don’t tell him you know. You had this little puff of blond hair on your head, it was as fluffy as the little kitty we saw this morning, if not fluffier.” Isaac had look in his eyes that Eiji had only seen once before and that was when Ash told him about Dino and his childhood. The tiny blond seemed to be so vulnarable almost like a porcelain figure. 
“What about mom? Was she happy to see me?” There it was. The love Isaac, much like his father, held for her. It was like they would both die if it wasn’t for her love.
“Well of course she was. She really loves you, you know? Your mom loved you even before she had the pleasure of holding you. You have been one of her favourite people ever since she found out you were in her belly. They both love you a lot.”
“Then why am I here? Why wouldn’t they take me with them? Why do they want alone time?” Eiji couldn’t find an answer. He looked at Shorter, who still had that dumb grin.
“Well, Isaac, mom and dad need to rest every once in a while. Since mom got pregnant with your brother or sister, she hasn’t really been able to rest properly, so dad wanted alone time with her to help her rest, but I am sure they will both be so very happy to see you.”
     Just like magic, there was a knock at the door, Eiji went to open it, while Isaac trailed behind him, with his little backpack in hand. The door opened to reveal Ash and the boy jumped in his arms at the speed of light. 
“Wow! Hi bub! I missed you so much. How was today hmm? Did you have fun with uncle Ji and uncle Shorter? Were they nice to you?”
“Mhm, they told me how you and mama met. I miss mama, is she in the car?”
“No bub, she’s at home. She missed you too. Told me we should race all of the cars and get home in under ten minutes. We have cake.” And with that, Isaac was set back on the ground and the little boy dashed to the car. 
“Damn gremlin didn’t even say bye. Here i was thinking we have something special.”
“Hi Shorter! Hi Eiji! I can’t thank you enough for tonight. She really needed it.” 
“It’s ok Ash. He is a little loud and Shorter here is never truly helpful, but it’s our pleasure. Are Y/N and the baby ok?”
“Hm, not really. I mean the baby seems to be fine, but she isn’t. Throws up everything she eats. The doctor said it is because her body is getting used to the pregnancy, but this didn’t happen when we had Isaac. I’m just worried for her.”
“She’s strong. She can take it I’m sure.” Shorter nodded, agreeing with Eiji’s statement. 
“I know Eiji, I’m not worried about that. Truth is she seems happy to be pregnant. She’s beaming all the time, even after she got everything she ate out, and I feel bad. I feel like she’s in pain. Her smile makes me feel even worse.” Shorter laid a hand on his best friend’s shoulder, taking his sunglasses off. 
“Ash...listen to me. Y/N is someone who’s never lied to you about anything. She’s been genuine about everything. She would never fake a smile and she would tell you if she wanted to abort the baby. The fact that she’s smiling and being her bubbly self only means that the pregnacy isn’t that hard on her. Trust me Ash. I see the look in her eyes when the baby is brought up in any conversation. She’ll be fine. You’ll be a bigger family. Loosen up a little.” 
“Thank you Shorter. I owe both of you a drink. I’ll call you. Thank you for babysitting again.” And with that, all three of tehm smiled at each other while Ash picked the tiny shark backpack and went back to the car.
     Once inside, the older blond turned towards the younger one, smiling.
“Ready to see mom, bub?”
“Mhm! Is she feeling better?”
“Yep.”
     The car ride was one of the happy moments Ash wanted to hold onto. The sang together and talked about how Shorter told Isaac about the motorcycle.
“It’s true, you know? I do know how to ride one. When you’re older, I can teach you too.”
“I wanna ride one now. I’ve seen my friends with theirs, I want one too!”
“Those are lame. I’m talking about the real ones. That’s the true fun.”
     Once at home, Ash dropped everything on the floor and went to help his son hung his coat on the wall. The little boy jumped out of his red sneakers and ran down the hall yelling for his mom. 
“In the kitchen baby. I was cutting you a slice of cake.It’s vanilla, since I know you like the chocolate one’s less. Where’s daddy?”
“Right behind you.” said Ash, placing his hands on her hips and swaying her a little. She turned around to give him a kiss on the cheek, but her 5 month bump got in the way, making her pull a frustred face and Ash smile even more. Isaac pushed his dad to the side a little, making grabby hands at his mom. No matter how old he acted, his real age was always given away by his gestures around his mom. 
     Getting his slice of cake, Isaac turned back towards the living room. Eating on the couch was never truly forbidden.
“Mama, tomorrow is Yuri’s birthday. He celebrating it at home, I have the invitation in my drawing notebook. Can I go?”
“Sure you can. we just have to go buy a gift in the morning.”
“A birthday huh? That means a little more alone time for us two.” Y/N hid her face in her husband’s neck, smiling a little. Ash’s finger went to the back of her neck, getting her to look up at him to give her a kiss, but then...
“Gross! He likes cars mama, go brainstorm on that insted of smooching dad in the kitchen!”

Do you think you could write a Fanfic about Nooshy seeing Johnny’s baby pictures or home movies? I think it would be adorable! (If not then that’s fine, whatever works best for you)
Sure! How's this?
Johnny sighed as he tucked his skateboard under his arm and made his way back to the garage he and his father called home.
He did enjoy his work at the New Moon Theater, along with occasionally travelling to theaters elsewhere to perform their Out Of This World show. But he also enjoyed those rare days off where he could just ride around on his board or hang out with his friends and his family.
Ever since his father and uncles were released from jail, all three had fully thrown their lot into supporting Johnny's dream of performing. Particularly Johnny's father.
Johnny's new friend Nooshy also called the garage home for the moment. But Johnny knew she was saving up for her own place.
At first, Johnny had been hesitant to tell her of his family's...less than legal activities in the past, but she'd assured him she already knew, having heard it from his father.
As he walked through the front door, he could hear laughter coming from the 'break area' that served as a family room. Sounded like his uncles Stan and Barry had stopped by.
He noted that he could also hear Nooshy's laughter.
"Wha's goin' on in here?" he asked, grinning slightly as he stepped into the room, setting his board down.
Stan and Barry were both sitting on the sofa, Nooshy between them, and all three looking down at a thick book.
"Just takin' a little trip down memory lane," Stan answered, not glancing up.
"Whaddyou talkin-?" Johnny's words caught in his throat as he realized what the book before his uncles and friend contained.
There was picture of Johnny shortly after his birth, bundled in a little blue blanket and peering curiously ahead with wide, deep brown eyes. And right beside it, another picture taken when he was still an infant, riding on his father's back, clinging to his father's shirt with both hands and his bare feet. This time the little gorilla was grinning at the camera.
"Aww, look at this one!" Barry chuckled, pointing at another picture. "I remember this! Your mum baked you your first birthday cake and you just stuck your whole face in it!"
"Guess you didn't feel like sharin', eh?" Nooshy looked up at Johnny and tsk-tsked teasingly.
"Put the scrapbook away!" Johnny shrieked at his uncles.
"Oh, what's happenin' here?" Nooshy questioned, pointing to another photo, seemingly oblivious to the now scowling teen gorilla in front of her.
As Johnny glanced down, he saw the picture his uncles had taken of him one night shortly after they'd left England and arrived in Calatonia. The move had shaken Johnny up so much that he'd slept in his father's room with him for the first few weeks in the new city.
"Awww!" Nooshy cooed, grinning widely at the sight of a still very tiny Johnny cuddled up in his father's arms. "Look at Big Daddy's Little Boy!"
"Look at this one. Here's where Johnny tried usin' the toilet like a big boy-" Barry explained. "Poor thing 'bout fell in!"
"Oh, come on!" Johnny yelped. "Don't show 'er that! Nooshy, don't look-"
"What's the matter?" the lynx snickered as Johnny hastily turned the page before her eyes landed on yet another picture, this one of baby Johnny in the bathtub, only his face and arms visible through the large amount of bubbles in the water, some of which clinging to the tiny frame like a second layer of translucent fur. "Awww! You were so tiny and cute!"
She then looked the present-day Johnny up and down before quipping "Wot 'appened?"
That did it.
All three roared with laughter as Johnny glowered at them before yanking away the scrapbook and tucking under his arm.
"That's alright, we got these too," Stan said, opening up a second book. "Here's where Johnny first started school. Clung to his mum's leg for a good ten minutes, beggin' her not to make him go-"
"Changed his mind real quick when he saw that playground though," a new voice broke in.
Johnny turned to see his father Marcus step in from the work area of the garage.
"Right after that, it was 'See ya later, Mum' and off he went."
Marcus then glanced down at the open book before smiling fondly at an image of Johnny, almost a year old clad in only a diaper, lying on a blanket, his feet in the air and his face set in a smile as a hand that the silverback knew to be his own rested on the infant's chest in a tickle.
"I think that's one of my favorite ones," he remarked. "Even if you did almost kick me in the face when I took it."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better about you lot havin' a laugh at me?" Johnny asked.
"No, but this one might. Or at least it'll be funny."
Marcus gave his son a mischievous grin before turning a few pages and landing on a picture of Johnny as a toddler in winter clothes lying on his back in the snow. His teeth were bared in a grimace as his hands held a snowball nearly the size of himself atop his stomach and chest.
"That's when you wanted to see if snow was as soft as it looked," Stan laughed, grinning at Johnny who glared in return.
"Yeah and I almost froze my arse off because you three decided to just stand there instead of gettin' it off me!" he fired back.
"You gotta show these to the rest of the gang," Nooshy began taking pics on her phone.
"No!" Johnny screeched before snatching up the second book and racing away with both.
"I still got my blackmail material!" Nooshy called after him.
"Great. Just great," Johnny grumbled as he stashed the offending scrapbooks in a place he hoped neither his father, his uncles, or his friend and temporary housemate, would ever think to look. "Now there's FOUR of them!"
...
...
Hope you liked it and if any of you ladies or gentlemen have a request feel free to drop an ask and I'll see if I can give it a try. Feel free to leave a comment! Thanks in advance!

Living up to the Name pt 3
"Out of all possible scenarios, he chose this," Jack grumbled. As he and Ruggie tried to concentrate on finding a familiar smell.
"Don't be a buzzkill, Jack. Besides, she looked excited." The hyena pointed out. Recalling how the girl bounced excitedly at Leona's suggestion.
"Still, This feels wrong." He retorted.
Leona decided to move their training to the forest, in his words 'to give a fair advantage.'
"Oi! Jack, be quiet. You'll give away our position." A jaguar upperclassman harshly whispered. He and two more students were sniffing the air, then the jaguar froze.
"Shit, she-" A kick to his face cut him off before he could finish. The figure leaped up and landed on a tree branch high up.
"You guys have to do better than that to catch me~" A sing-song voice called from above.
Valerie smiled sweetly above them, but her mocking glare proved otherwise.
Thanks to her transformation, all her abilities have been drastically enhanced. She was faster, her kicks were more powerful, and her danger sense, or what she likes to call 'Bunny sense' was dialed up to a 100. Making it easier to avoid predators, aka Savanaclaw.
"Gotta go. I have more faces to kick and prides to ruin." She blew them a kiss and disappeared through the thicket of the trees.
"She's so hot."
Heads' snapped to the bear first-year, whose glazed eyes still stared at the spot she's been on.
"Fangirl about her later! We're still in the middle of something." The jaguar snapped at him. The bear blushed and muttered incoherently under his breathe.
Ruggie ran his fingers through his hair. They need a strategy to catch her, which involves teamwork, and knowing how NRC students are, this will be hell.
"I wonder how that lazy lion is doing?" He mused.
She was better at hiding than Leona gave her credit for.
The first half-hour of their training was spent looking for the girl. Which wasn't hard, with that delightful scent of hers. It leads them farther to the forest, where the foliage is dense enough to hide a dead body.
Clever, Herbivore. But not enough.
Honestly, he was a little disappointed with her idea. He was expecting a challenge since she loved giving it to him.
Tearing through the thicket, he and his dorm mates prowled the area. Each of them in various corners, in an attempt to locater her better.
"Senior Leona." A jackal beastman spoke up.
"What is it?"
"It's miss Valerie's scent. Something's up." He replied, sniffing the air.
Leona took a whiff, and sure enough, it smelled faint and all over the place?
"Masking your scent with mud. Herbivore? Heh, at least your trying."
The lion nodded to his dorm mates, who proceeded to split up and try to find their prey the girl.
The jackal perked up when the sweet aroma was much more potent. Nudging to a leopard beastman who seemed to realized as well.
As quietly as they could, they snuck up to a large hedge that permeated with her scent.
They crept closer and closer and closer...
They pounced. Once the students felt something soft, their hold tightened.
Leona paused from tearing another bush. Happy shouts were clear as day.
Good, they found her.
He jogged his way over to his fresh babies. However, as he got near, there was a change in the atmosphere. Silence replaced the noise; it was almost ominous.
Valerie's scent changed the most; it was so faint and different.
He finally reached the clearing. Their backs were turned to him, and he couldn't see what they were holding.
"Oi."
The jackal and leopard rapidly turned to face him, hiding their captured prey behind their back.
"S-Senior Leona!" The leopard stammered.
"What's up with you two? Didn't you shout you have her?"
"Uhh...W-wait! Senior Leona!" The jackal exclaimed in surprise when the lion marched towards them. Pushing them aside to see the girl-
That's not Valerie.
In front of him was a large and plump brown rabbit, and it was wearing her vest.
Everything up till now began to make sense, causing Leona to chuckle.
"So that's the real plan, huh?"
His ears twitched as the wind picked up. His eyes narrowed.
"Move back!" The lion ordered. Jumping to the shade of the trees.
But it was too late. The freshmen were down before they could do anything. Standing on top of their bodies was the very girl they were chasing.
"I'm surprised it took you this long to figure it out. You really are losing your edge, Kitty."
Valerie giggled at Leona's snarling face. She tugged her vest off the rabbit; before disappearing.
Leona could feel his blood boil. From frustration or excitement, he wasn't sure at this point, but he does know one thing.
Valerie just cemented her role as prey.
-----------------------------------------
It's been hours, and not one of them had a chance to catch her. There were a few close calls, but she always managed to be two steps ahead of them. It doesn't help that she mocks them for every failed attempt. One of them got angry enough a tried to bite her, but Valerie kicked his jaw before he could.
On the bright side, the boys could feel their bodies improving. They still have a long way to go, but it's progress.
Valerie nimbly landed on the ground, catching her breath. It's been a long time she did something like this.
A wistful smile formed on her face as she remembered the times she and her mom played tag. Her mother used the game as a form of training for her speed, stamina, and agility. Being a competitive child she was, she got too into it.
'Thinking about it now, mom used a lot of ordinary games as a form of training.' The opal-eyed girl mused.
Wiping her brow, she glanced at the sky. She couldn't tell how much had passed, but she could guess it was nearly noon.
Suddenly, her ears stood up. There was aloud howling in the distance, followed by more animalistic sounds, till it became a wild symphony.
"The hell?" The brunette muttered in confusion. She winced and held her head. The downside of having enhanced hearing is that everything is louder, and this wild symphony giving her a headache.
"Pull it together, Valerie. You dealt with worse." She mumbled, even slapping her face for good measure.
With new vigor, Valerie pushed forward through the forest, even as her whole body screamed to find somewhere to hide.
Sigh, prey instincts.
Though she kept her opal eyes ahead, she in-tuned with her surroundings. Her ears now worked as antennas, constantly on high alert to warn her of predators.
Her ears twitched; she jumped left just in time to dodge a pouncing jaguar beastman. A low growl escaped the jaguar's throat and pounced again.
Valerie waited till he was near enough and delivered a front kick beneath his jaw. He staggered back in pain, giving her enough time to rush forward, and low swept him. He groaned in pain once his back felt the impact.
"You predators are really losing your edge if you kept getting your asses beaten by a rabbit. But then again, it's me" The girl deviously smiled at the fallen student.
The girl sensed another presence behind her and jumped to the trees. She narrowed her eyes at the culprit.
"Such an arrogant statement coming from a tiny herbivore. Looks like we have to put you in your place."
Leona emerged from the thicket with a cocky smirk in place and an unreadable glint in his eyes.
Valerie remained silent, simply assessing the number of beastmen present. There were seven of them; easy. There was also no sign of Jack and Ruggie, but they could be hiding.
"How can you call my words arrogant? I'm simply stating the truth." She retorted, smirking down at him.
"Let's just see how true your words are when I have my fangs on your neck."
"Before that, perhaps should I suffocate you between my thighs?"
"Heh, only after I crush your legs."
"Are...They flirting?" Questioned a bewildered ocelot beastman.
"I thought she was stupid when it comes to romance?" Added a dingo.
"Try not to think about it." Advised a lynx.
"Sorry, kitty kay, I may have agreed to help you guys in training, but I'm not going to bow down to you."
"Likewise, Herbivore."
A mischievous smile formed on her face. The girl launched herself out of the tree and aimed a kick to his face, but he blocked it. Valerie quickly switched to jabbing his left side.
Leona slammed his eyes shut, a deep growl resonated within him. He attempted to grab her arm. But she leaped up and delivered a front kick to his chin, pushing him away from her. However, she was now surrounded by other beastmen.
Valerie avoided an oncoming punch from the dingo and delivered one to his gut. He recoiled in pain and clutched his stomach. Her ears twitched and sidestepped, just in time for a charging lynx to crash into him.
Twitching again, she turned around and caught the ocelot's leg; she spun him around while knocking out three more before throwing him.
Satisfied that she took care of the beta males, she turned her attention back to the alpha. Only to realize that he disappeared.
Her whole body was on high alert. She took a battle stance, surveying her surrounding. She cursed herself for being so careless; he used them as decoys. Like she did.
"Touché, Kitty." She muttered.
Deciding she stayed long enough, she ran in the opposite direction.
Valerie bit her bottom lip once she heard footsteps behind her.
He really wanted to turn this into a real hunt.
Fine, she'll give him one.
Increasing her speed, she sprinted through the area utilizing the trees as boosters.
She glanced behind her and clenched her jaw. Leona was nowhere in sight. She had two ideas: Either he took a detour and was waiting to pounce on her or, she lost him; she hoped it was the latter.
Biting her inner cheek, she was about to take a turn when she heard footsteps. She jumped back, narrowly avoiding a claw to her face.
"I was wondering where you were, never thought you actually risk an ambush." The opal-eyed girl remarked as she kept her distance from him, taking up a fighting stance.
"If I'm up against you? I'll try anything." The male retorted mirroring her movements.
The wolf and rabbit glared at each other, waiting for one of them to make a move. It was as if the area went still around them, blocking out all noise; only the thumping of their hearts was heard.
Jack was the first to move. He ran forward with the girl following the suit, but once close enough, she leaped up and stomped on his head. He staggered back, gritting his teeth and holding his head. Valerie landed behind him, giving a swift kick to his side; the wolf fell to his side, hissing at the impact.
A deep growl escaped his throat when he heard her laughter; he swiped underneath her legs. The girl fell back, wide-eyed, and internally cursed herself for letting her guard down.
Picking himself up, he grabbed her ankle and flung her to the trees. The girl shrieked in pain, coughing; she found specks of blood on the ground, her blood. Although she struggled to stand up, she had enough energy to avoid Jack's next attack.
Jack swung his fist to her face, but she intercepted by grabbing his arm and flipped him to the ground. He grunted in pain when Valerie placed her foot on his chest.
"I thought I might return a favor fluffy." She smirked at his fallen body. He glared up at her. She was about to make another comment when her ears twitched, frowning; she leaped up to the trees and glared at the intruder.
"Damn, and here I was going to surprise you. Then again, those ears of yours work just like satellites, shishishishi." Ruggie laughed as she strolled through the area.
"I keep getting more surprises."
Just like lighting, she sprung herself out of the tree and delivered a direct kick to Ruggie's gut. The poor hyena coughed up blood upon the impact and curled up into a ball once he fell on the ground. All the while groaning in pain.
"And here I thought he would at least withstand half of it, oh well." She ducked down, already sensing Jack's incoming punch, and kicked his chest.
It knocked him a few feet away from her; Jack felt something dribble down his chin, wiping he found bits of blood coating it.
Clenching his fist; a low growl erupted his throat; charging, he swung his fist narrowly, hitting her face. Valerie responded by front kicking his chin; Jack grunted but didn't falter in his movements.
Valerie unleashed a barrage of kicks, driving him back until he felt the tree behind him. Jack gritted his teeth but bared with it; he waited until he found an opening between her kicks. She paused for a second, but it was all Jack needed. He socked her in the gut, successfully pushing her back.
She gasped at the impact, wincing at the pain on her stomach that she failed to notice Jack grabbing her body and slammed her to the ground. He reached to grab her ears, but the opal-eyed girl rolled away and swiped under his legs. Jack fell back, glaring up at the now standing girl.
"You know you can't beat me." She panted.
Blood was dripping down at the side of her face. The sun was behind her forming a shadow over her eyes giving them a glow. She looked like a predator.
"I know, but he can." He countered.
Before Valerie could decipher his words. She was lifted up again, but this time pinned to the ground.
"Looks like you forgot something, Herbivore." Hot breathe tickled her face as familiar hands kept a firm grip on her.
"A lion always waits for their prey to lower their guard."
________________
"Ughhh, it hurts." Ruggie groaned. He laid on a bed with an ice pack on his stomach.
He and the rest of the Savanclaw students are in the infirmary. Each of them was the victim of the girl's brutal beatings.
"How the hell is someone so tiny is that insanely strong?" The leopard beastman muttered, nursing his jaw.
"The question is, is she even human?" The ocelot commented, bandages covering his body.
Speaking of her...
Valerie hissed when the ghost rubbed a special ointment of her back to heal the swelling. She was behind a curtain, giving her the privacy she needed.
"And there we go, you can put your shirt on and make sure to not put too much strain on yourself, young lady. I heard from the ghosts in Ramshackle you're the reckless type." The ghost gave her a mirthful smile. She chuckled.
"Yeah, I will."
"No, she won't." Grim chimed in.
He sat next to her on the bed and shot the girl a knowing look, to which she laughed nervously.
"I promise, really."
"You better, and you call me troublesome."
"Okay, okay, let's go." She picked him and stepped out of the curtain. She winced a bit when she saw how badly bruised they all looked.
"You really went all out on them." The cat monster commented; almost half of them were covered in bandages and band-aids.
"You know me, I always love a challenge." Her grin was filled with mischief.
She walked up to her favorite Savanaclaw trio. Jack was getting his face treated since she kicked there the most while Leona sat next to Ruggie since he had minor injuries.
"Hey, guys, who are you feeling?" She asked.
"Like a truck ran me over." The hyena retorted. The girl nervously laughed.
"Right, sorry."
"Don't be. You went all out; it's insulting if you didn't." Jack interjected. He hissed when the swab touched his hips lower lip.
"Don't talk, young man." Scolded the ghost.
"You were pretty good out there, Valerie. But you let your guard down too soon. Your lucky it was only training. Otherwise, you would have gotten eaten up." The lion smirked.
"As if I let you." She huffed.
"But, it has been a good experience. Might as well do this again next time." He added.
"Sure, I love to kick your butts and win next time." She gave a devil-like smile.
"Anyway, I have to wash up and head to Heartslyabul." She turned around, only bumped into the beastmen.
"Ah, I'm sorry-" She didn't get to finish when he briskly walked past her. Valerie observed his appearance; he had a pumpkin-colored reptile tail with burgundy fins and bronze horns. His body was wrapped in gauze and had bandages covering his arms.
"Don't take it too personally. He's still not used to being beaten by a woman." Leona spoke up.
"Mm? What do you mean?" The girl was puzzled.
"You see the guys with dragon tails?" He asked. Glancing around, she did notice a few of them. She locked eyes with one, he immediately looked away.
"They're from Cloud Valley; in their culture, women are treated lesser than men, always expected to be submissive, fragile, and obedient. The complete opposite to the women in the Afterglow Savannah." He elaborated.
"So it's a big shocked for them to know such a tiny prey can beat them so easily."
That filled her with pride. Her family raised her to be independent and strong; and above all, never take shit from misogynists.
"Oi! Kemonohito!" A voice boomed. Valerie winced at the frequency of his voice. Everyone's heads turned to see a dragonkin with a scarlet tail and white fins standing in front of her.
"I demand a re-match! Your abilities were just enhanced because your half rabbit. I refuse to acknowledge defeat by a woman!" He boomed.
"Maybe next time." She simply replied.
"Oh? What's this? Already backing down? Expected for a female to be too scared-"
"No. I already have plans this afternoon, not to mention your too injured. The opal-eyed girl interrupted, taking note of his bandaged face and body.
"This is nothing! Fight me!"
"Young man, no shouting." One ghost staff scolded, quickly leading him away from the girl and her monster.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna go. See you guys."
________________
Valerie hummed a random tune as she dried her hair. Thanks to Amane giving her his credit card, she was able to buy the things she desperately needed, such has extra cleaning supplies , bathroom necessities and a hair dryer.
Putting the hair dryer down, she examined herself on the mirror. She wore a Heartslyabul uniform, switching out the pants with a pleated thigh length skirt, a white thigh-high on her right leg, a white crew length sock with black diamond pattern on her left and red and white sneakers. She also tied her ears with a black ribbon around them.
"Are you almost done?" Grim lazily drawled. He was sprawled on the bed, his pudgy stomach on display.
"Already am." She answered.
"Good, cause your phone was ringing." He rolled to his left, revealing the girl's phone. Picking it up and opening it to her messages, the sender read 'Braincell 1'
'Yo Val, you and Grim have to walk here by yourselves. Me and chicken boy can't pick you up cause we have an emergency and it requires all dorm members cooperation.'
She texted back
'k'
Picking up her little gremlin, strolled out and headed downstairs.
"Where Ace and Deuce?" questioned Grim.
"They have an emergency which required all dorm members." She answered, walking out of the house.
"Huh, probably something related to food." The cat proclaimed, as he climbed up to her shoulders and draped himself there.
She merely hummed.
They arrived in mirror hall. As she stepped in, Valerie almost got knocked down by a rushing students.
"S-sorry, miss Valerie." He apologized before running again.
Glancing at each other, the Ramshackle duo continued their journey, all the while watching students tripping over their feet looking for something. It wasn't long before they spotted a familiar redhead and bluette by the bushes.
"Damn it, where are they? They couldn't gotten that far." Ace muttered.
"Maybe we should try a different spot." Suggested Deuce.
"Guys?" A feminine voice snapped them out and turned around.
Their eyes bulged out when they saw her ears. A palpable silence overtook them, until...
"Pffftt-"
All eyes turned to Ace as he covered his mouth with right arm, and shaking. Finally he blew up.
"HAHAHAAHA! Oh great seven this hilarious! You're an actual rabbit!" He kept on laughing. Deuce had small blush on his face when he stared at her, she looked like a porcelain doll.
"You know very well I hate those." Valerie monotonous voice rang out. A displeased look covered her face from being compared to an item she hated the most.
Crap, he thought out loud.
"I-I-I'm so sorry!" Deuce bowed, which made Ace laughed louder.
"Its fine." She huffed. "Anyway, what happened? What's the emergency?"
Ace shut up and Deuce tentatively bit his lower lip.
"Its the hedgehogs, they broke out in their cages again. The unbirthday party will start soon and no one has found them yet." The peacock-eyed boy answered.
"Riddle almost lost control when he found out, and its not getting any better." The cherry-eyed boy added.
"I could help." The girl offered. "My ears are practically antennas, and they've been a great help in dealing with Savanaclaw, I think I can find the hedgehogs in no time."
They seem to contemplate her words, before nodding to each other.
"Alright, Princess, we're counting on you." Ace grinned.
The girl gave a mock salute before taking Grim off her and dropping him on Ace. She sprinted away, she picked a small clearing.
Valerie crouched down and closed her eyes. She blocked out the noise surrounding her, focusing on the chitter and footsteps of the hedgehogs. Breathing softly she waited for even the faintest noise.
Instantly her ears twitched, perking a bit she turned to the left. Sprinting off she found a red and blue hedgehogs under a tree. Valerie slowly made her towards them and crouch to their height.
"Hi." She gently called out. Slowly reaching her hand out, it sniffed it before coming near and rubbing itself on it.
"You guys are bunch escape artist huh?" She mused, delicately picking it up. Her ears perked up, catching a faint conversation. Following till she found herself with two mobs.
"M-miss Valerie!" They exclaimed in surprised, especially to her ears.
"Here." She placed them on their hands.
"Thank you."
"No problem. Now if you excuse me, I got more to find."
She did this a few more times: She would listen to the hedgehogs, find them and give them to a nearby Heartslyabul student. So far she found at least 20 or so for half an hour.
Valerie huffed and fanned herself using her shirt, she having a particularly hard time in finding these guys. The tiny things were master on invasion and giving her a good challenge. Inhaling she concentrated once more, walking silently as she did in hopes to hear the better.
Finally, soft rustling in the bushes caught her attention. Nimbly making her way to the source, she pulled it back to to find a red, green and orange hedgehogs staring up at her.
"C'mere." She scooped them up and made her way to the nearest students, whose hair perfectly matched the hedgehogs she's carrying.
They blinked at the sight before them, heat rising to their cheeks at the adorable sight.
"V-Valerie." Riddle stuttered, clearly didn't expect this.
"Yeah, hi." She sheepishly grinned.
"This is an interesting turn of events?" Commented Trey, fixing his gaze on her ears.
"Vally, you look so cute!" The strawberry blonde gushed, taking out his phone and snapping pictures of the girl.
"Haha, thank you Cater." She did cute little poses. Holding the hedgehogs up to her face.
"#Cutie! #Rabbitears #foundthehedgehogs #livinguptothename." He quickly uploaded it.
Riddle quickly regained his composure and took the hedgehogs out of her hands.
"Thank you, Valerie now we can resume the unbirthday party."
"So." Deuce started. "What happened to you?"
After placing the hedgehogs in their cages, everyone was seated on the tables and enjoying the party, and were quite curious of her ears.
The girl summarized on what happened yesterday and this morning. Ace snickered at the end of her explanation.
"Jeez, Val, your a total disaster magnet." He ran his finger on her ears.
"It gets worse when I'm with you guys." She teased.
"Your so mean, Princess!" Ace dramatically placed his hand over his heart, 'hurt' by her words.
"But you look so cute! Look how much likes your photo is getting." The leaf-green eyed male showed her his phone, which was gradually getting likes.
"They don't make you uncomfortable, do they?" Trey asked, as he handed her another strawberry tart. Which she gratefully accepted.
"Besides having more sensitive hearing, I'm good" She replied. She moved her hands up, away from Grim's greedy outstretched paws. Trey handed him a blueberry cheesecake.
"This transformation has been a great help, especially when dealing with Savanaclaw. You should have seen the amount of students I sent in the infirmary." She added with a giggle.
"There was even a dragon there that wanted to challenge her. But he got dragged off." Grim chimed in, taking large bite of his cheesecake.
"A dragon?"
"He brushed off my abilities because of the potion." Just remembering his words gave her a headache.
Ugh, if mom was in Cloud Valley she would have made every man there submit to her.
"But in the end, you still sustain injuries." Riddle interjected, examining her bandaged arm. He sipped his tea as the girl's face flushed.
"T-that's a mistake in my part. I got ahead of myself, I would have still beaten Leona if I had been more aware of my surroundings." Frustration crinkled her eyes, with those ears of hers should would have heard him and at least give him a black eye.
Mom would have scold her for her carelessness.
"Aww, don't make that face Vally; let's just enjoy the party." Cater coaxed bring her and Grim for a selfie, which was soon joined by Ace, Deuce and Trey who grabbed Riddle with him.
"Say cheese!"
________________
"Miss her ears already." Deuce mumbled, as he stared at the girl.
As promised, Crewel gave her the antidote and she reverted back to her normal self. Although, some were beginning to miss her ears.
They just looked so cute on her.
It was P.E and they were doing some warm up stretches. Valerie was just doing splits when a shadow fell over her.
"Kemonohito! Re-match now!"
This guy...
"We're in class. Can we do this later?" She reasoned.
His face twisted in anger, before a whistle blew.
"Alright! I prepared an obstacle course! Whoever reaches the finish line first in the shortest amount of time will receive a plus points!"
One by one the boys took the course, Vargas always saved Valerie for last cause he knows that she might destroy everything.
Vargas focused his gaze on Valerie.
"Kemonohito you're up!"
As she took her position, she examined the field. High walls, mannequins, vaults and beams, perfect for her rabbit self, but it wasn't there anymore. She shook her head, she trained for years, she didn't need it.
The whistle blew
She blurred through the field. Destroying the mannequins and jumping over the high walls with ease. By the time she finished it, she left a path of destruction.
"2:05s! The fastest one yet! Fantastic job, but next time don't destroy everything. Seriously I just got this raise." The man grumbled more as he scribbled on his clipboard.
Meanwhile, her idiot trio stared at her, shock written on their faces. When she walked up to them, they bombarded her with questions.
"How did you do that!?"
"Can you teach me!
"I thought you weren't a rabbit anymore."
All she could do was shrug.
"Maybe I got the leftover DNA. But whatever the case is, I love it."
She had a wide smile on their face, oh this was going to be good.

Saw My Mutuals Doing a Hunger Games
So, I also messed around with the Hunger Games Simulator. I called it Macavity’s Jellicle Choice. Macavity managed to defeat Old Deuteronomy and decided that the next cat to ascend to the Heaviside Layer as to survive a Hunger Games. 23 cats just die. The 24th gets reborn.
I am so terrible with the simulator that I didn’t even have images for the characters, so I didn’t take many screenshots. Instead, I took notes of what happened.
We’ll begin at the end:
Tumblr media
This is the only screenshot you’re getting. All of the nicknames I used are very stupid.
Here are the notes I took as I played this thing:
Content Warning: It’s a Hunger Games. Violence and Death. Also featuring my dark sense of humor.
Bloodbath
Pouncival and Plato fought over a bag, but Pouncival was too small to win that fight and ran away.
Tantomile Inventory: Shield x1
Jellylorum managed to scare Tugger away from the Cornucopia. Nobody was surprised by this.
Victoria Inventory: Bombs x5
Bombalurina Inventory: Shield x1
Munkustrap has made the Cornucopia into his base.
Rumpleteazer, Asparagus, and Grizabella got into a fight. I assume it must’ve been some sort of Emotional Ballad Competition, because Grizabella was victorious.
Etcetera Inventory: Canteen x1
Mungojerrie is hiding in the Cornucopia. Munkustrap knows this and is allowing it.
Day 1:
After all that “excitement” (The Bloodbath wasn’t that bloody tbh), there’s still much to be done.
George and Coricopat got into a fight, but it was just practice and they’re fine. George won, btw.
Pouncival has already managed to hurt himself will foraging for food.
Jemima Inventory: Hatchet x1 (The baby has plenty of sponsors, I assume.)
Bombalurina caught some fish, but that’s not that exciting.
Grizabella murdered Alonzo with a trident. I’m starting to become concerned by how good she is at killing people.
Tantomile just fell in a lake and drowned. Quite the anticlimax.
Allience! Electra, Cassandra, and Mistoffelees are on the prowl!
Tumblebrutus managed to scare Tugger into running away. I think “run away” is Tugger’s strategy at this point.
Munkustrap Inventory: Nameless Fruit x3
Jellylorum Inventory: Spear x1 (She made it herself. All those years of teaching kids crafts have paid off.)
Victoria beat Mungojerrie in a fight, but let him go because this was either a practice round or the announcer for the family-friendly TV station that airs The Hunger Games just claimed they were “fighting” in the bushes.
Etcetera Inventory: Canteen x1, Food Item x1 (Thank you, sponsor! …Okay, it was me.)
Mass Funeral 1:
RIP Rumpleteazer. (Lean Lynx) Her ballad wasn’t angst enough.
RIP Asparagus. (No Fuss 2 Pronounce) He just wanted to play Growltiger.
RIP Alonzo. (True Himbo) That was kind of pathetic.
RIP Tantomile. (She Psych) Your death was so boring.
Night 1:
Serial Killer Grizabella got Electra.
Plato became Enemy Number 1 for some unknown reason and he was hunted down by Coricopat, Tumblebrutus, Tugger, Jenny, and Munkustrap.
Remember how Pouncival injured himself? He got pricked with tiny thorns and bled out a few hours later.
Etcetera just screamed for help AND IF SOMEONE DOESN’T HELP HER I SWEAR TO GOD-
Some strange archery accident involved Victoria, Skimble, and Cassandra occurred. Cassandra’s dead now.
Jellylorum isn’t dead, but she’s unconscious, so someone should really look into that.
Misto and Jemima are snuggling!
Bombalurina stabbed George and left him to die. A bit harsh.
Demeter and Mungojerrie have been spotted holding hands. These two Macavity survivors have turned to each other for emotional support.
Day 2:
Allience! Jerrie, Victoria, Coricopat, Misto, and Munkustrap are on the prowl!
Serial Killer Grizabella is stalking Jemima! Luckily, she hasn’t got a chance to kill her.
Skimble stabbed Tugger.
Etcetera has found her mom. Jellylorum has kept her safe for the day.
Demeter Inventory: First Aid Kit x1 (From a sponsor)
Jennyanydots Inventory: First Aid Kit x1 (From a sponsor, cleverly giving medical supplies to someone who might be able to help everyone. Hopefully, no more kittens will end up like Pouncival.)
Mass Funeral 2:
RIP Electra (Book and Bell): She didn’t expect Grizabella to go so insane so quickly.
RIP Plato (Not Too Big): He was played by the same actor as Macavity, so maybe the mob got mixed up.
RIP Pouncival (Can Do Handstand): He died from a boo-boo.
RIP Cassandra (Pharaohs’s Girl): I’m still not sure wtf just happened.
RIP George (Could Be Admetus): I almost completely forgot about him, but the audience will remember.
RIP Tugger (Tugs): Skimble took their rivalry too far.
So, that was a massacre…
Night 2:
Coricopat just randomly died from thirst. Remember that Tantomile drowned. One twin died from too little water, and the other from too much.
Victoria is having nightmares. Just thought you should know.
Jerrie, Skimble, Grizabella, and Demeter have set up camp together. After everything that’s happened, sharing a camp with Grizabella sounds like a terrible idea, but everyone’s under a lost of stress and not thinking clearly.
Misto has built a shelter and Jenny is allowed inside. Good choice of ally.
Jemima tried to sing herself to sleep. Poor baby…
Munk killed Jelly with a poison dart. It was quite brutal. I don’t think he meant it that way, but the game only ends after most of them are dead.
Bombalurina has begun to question her sanity. I think this question applies to nearly everyone.
Etcetera, after possibly witnessing Munk kill Jelly, appears to have snapped. She hacked Tumblebrutus to pieces with a weapon that I didn’t even know she had.
Day 3:
Stalking Jemima was a bad choice. Serial Killer Grizabella now as a sprained ankle.
Allience! Victoria, Jenny, Misto, and Jerrie are on the prowl!
Munk died from thirst, and possibly from guilt.
Bomba and Skimble are friends for today.
Etcetera Inventory: Food Item x1 (Sponsor. I had to do something)
Mass Funeral 3:
RIP Coricopat (He Psych): His death matched up with his twin’s.
RIP Jellylorum (Bitches Be Jelly): That was really fucked up.
RIP Tumblebrutus (Fliptastic): He was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time.
RIP Munkustrap (Fearless Leader): At the end of the day, he couldn’t kill his family.
Night 3:
Etcetera is gazing at the stars, looking for a Dead Parent-Shaped Constellation.
Victoria managed to defeat Serial Killer Grizabella, but she let her go.
Jerrie and Jemima are snuggling! I think he might’ve adopted her. Normally, that would be Skimble’s job, but…
Demeter found those poison darts Munk was using and killed Skimble with one of them.
Meanwhile, because everyone’s parents are dying tonight, Misto shot Jenny. I think he might’ve planned it. The Hunger Games brings out the worst in everybody, sooner or later.
Feast!
Smart Cats Who Stayed the Fuck Out of It: Mistoffelees and Demeter
Bomba just grabbed some food and ran for it, so she’s also pretty smart.
Etcetera’s nervous breakdown continues. She killed Victoria in an ambush, not caring who she was killing at this point.
Serial Killer Grizabella managed to behave when she ran into Jerrie and Jemima. They grabbed their stuff and left.
Day 4:
Misto is ready to die, but Jemima won’t kill him and Jerrie went out to hunt, so he’s not there to do it for her.
Grizabella died of dysentery. This isn’t even a joke.
EVENT: Tsunami (Later to be Dubbed “The Tsunami of Tears”)
Survivors: Mistoffelees, Mungojerrie, and Demeter
Little Etcetera got swept away. Bomba and Jemima both sort of crashed into each other, leaving them stunned for long enough to drown.
We just lost all of our kittens :,(
Mass Funeral 4:
RIP Jennyanydots (Mouse Mother): Misto betrayed her, but she probably didn’t mind.
RIP Skimbleshanks (Railway Cat): I’d like to propose a ban on poison darts.
RIP Victoria (Little White Cat): Another kitten in the wrong place at the wrong time.
RIP Grizabella (Cat Who Sings Memory): She died of dysentery.
RIP Etcetera (Little Tiger Cub): *wails*
RIP Bombalurina (Whittington’s Friend): She played very pragmatically, but lost from last-minute bad luck.
RIP Jemima (Sillababy): *wails louder*
Night 4:
After all the bullshit they’ve been through, the three survivors just decide to duel each other to the death now. Misto defeats Jerrie and Demeter. None of them were trying very hard.
Anyway, Mistoffelees won. I didn’t rig this so my favorite would win. I don’t know how one rigs a Hunger Games Simulator. I would’ve preferred to save a kitten.
If it isn’t obvious by now:
Mean Minx: Mungojerrie
Leading Lady: Demeter
Pied Piper’s Assistant: Mistoffelees
So, that’s what I did on this fine Tuesday morning.
Hunger Games Idea Inspired by: @fluffytuffles and @0zzysaurus​
I didn’t use the same template, but I wouldn’t have thought to do the thing if my mutuals didn’t start it.
As for the backstory I set up before hand, Mistoffelees magically kicked Macavity’s ass and rescued Old Deuteronomy. They figured out that it was all a magical nightmare Macavity had sent to torment the tribe. Misto’s magic allowed him to fight the nightmare for the longest. Demeter and Jerrie and also built up some Macavity resistance over time. Everyone who came close to winning had slightly higher Macavity resistance for one reason or another.
Anyway, they all woke up from the nightmare and everyone was actually fine.
The End

So I’m going to talk about Transformers Earthrise
I kinda just wrote each thing after each episode so I won’t forget much.
I’m writing what I remember from each episode
🚨SPOILERS AHEAD🚨
Episode 1: Elita is cool as ever, freeing Decepticons and pulling out “Freedom is the right of all sentient beings” on Jetfire when he was questioning why she wanted to free them.
And then Steeljaw :( He was in cassette mode when they were hurting him. Makes me sad thinking about it. If Blaster is going to make an appearance, I hope Steeljaw will be with him.
Also, I need to know what’s up with Megatron having Ultra Magnus’s head on his table and just talking to him like a normal conversation.
There’s a happy Red Alert moment when he talks about how happy he is to have someone on their team who can fly. I’m calling for a Red Alert and Jetfire friendship.
Megatron acknowledges that Elita is a good leader and saying she could’ve been leaderbof the Autobots instead,. He may have started a war but he still knows what’s good.
The bots at Section 12... I loved them, they were so nice to Megatron and were admiring him a lot. It’s easy to tell it hurt him very much to have to “sacrifice” them for the project. I’m pretty sure all of us were sad. Those three bots were very nice.
Episode 2:
Elita is once again acknowledged by Megatron she is a good leader. He even called her Ariel. I’m wondering if we’ll see the past between them.
When Megatron put them in the cylinder thingies, the Decepticons the Autobots frees the first episode came to save them.
The bot even said “Til all are one”
And Skyfire... this huge dude really did just fall against the glass wall while they were trying to escape all stealth mode.
Luckily Skytread let them escape. It was funny when he asked one of them to punch cause Chromia was like “on sight, bro” and went for it. Like I love Chromia. :D
We also get to see our bots on the Ark again! And we get to see the mercenaries too.
We get to see conehead seekers again dudes! And this is my first time seeing Doubledealer on the screen(might be his first time? I honestly don’t know)
What’s with the gray colored Bumblebee, Wheeljack, and Hound? But yet again, it could just be reusing the same models.
Where’s tiny man Prowl? Where’s Ratchet?
When G. Bumblebee said “Where’s the ugly looking one?”, I was like “sir, you looked in a mirror lately?”
Quintessons! And for some reason, blue spirit mask looking Deseeus just cut off all the Qunitesson other faces just cause she wanted a consensus? Damn
Episode 3: Oh no sad Optimus. D:
BUMBLEBEE!! HE’S GOT THE SIGIL NOW!!
Ooh Ratchet and Wheeljack are working together.
“Bumblebee is correct-“
“I am?!”
Ayyy more Elita and co, they even got a bunch of Decepticon with them. Oop the Reflector with the scars is named Scrapface.
Elita seems more chill with Jetfire now. More friendships! I really like seeing Elita and her group.
Also the Autobots found the Nebulon station.
THERE’S SOMETHING ON THE STATION! WHAT THE FAQ IS ON THE STATION
Bee and Prime walked through the space bridge, and the other side of beautiful. It’s got a similar terrain like Earth’s. It’s leafy and green and colorful.
Oop it’s a giant scorpion on the ship. Is it Scorponok?
Yep it’s Scorponok.
Elita and co are going to stop the remaining Decepticons from getting harvested by the Shockwave. How nice of them :3
ONEGA SUPREME! oh wait dangit it’s a mirage.
Damn Scorponok is tall. He looks like Devestator and RID01 Megatron had a baby.
So Megs finally caught up with the Ark.
Episode 4: I love Ironhide. He may have few moments, but he’s still my fav.
Optimus noooooo
Bumblebee was trying to help, but Optimus is over here being a worried dad.
Ooh, Megatron really shot Scorponok to say “Optimus Prime is mine!”
Soundwave has unleashed his cat :0
Prime’s just trying protect his kids.
So they got knocked out from the blast, and Ravage was sniffing Starscream to check if he was alive, but the dude shoved him off. Rude, he making sure you live.
He thinks Megs is dead so now he’s leader.
Now Prime and Megatron are stuck in a room together, and now they’re talking. Megatron’s got a girder in his chest and he slowly dying.
Here’s a picure I got of the scene ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Tumblr media
The bots and cons are working together now! S not for now though.
Then Starscream starts talking shit to Megs and when he’s done talking about how he’d be a better leader, he says “What’s your argument?”
Megatron just shoots him. Ravage then checks on him again, but he shoves him off again. Why is he so rude?
Oop bots be out here calling Megatron a Quintesson and he’s offended. Quite hilarious
Starscream is really taking command and tossing Barricade aside. Starscream I love you but push him again and I’ll fight you.
So now something happened to the Nemesis ship, or perhaps it was the Ark.
Episode 5: Alpha Trion and Sky Lynx!! Sky Lynx wants to be a Prime too.
So the Autobots are in the Dead Universe. Sky Lynx is still alive and can apparently hear all.
Andddd he’s got some spiritual power and talking to Optimus now.
Sky Lynx is now humbled, I think he’s gonna join the Autobots.
So Megatron alive and he’s boutta pimp slap him.
GALVATRON?! where’d he come from?!
Sky Lynx is really making sad.
And now Galvatron doing the same spiritual thing to Megatron.
OP, let Sky Lynx go with you! Let him be redeemed.
Now Sky Lynx seems to be mentoring OP.
Optimus, Elita isn’t dead! She’s alive!
Yes, Megan. Don’t trust Galvatron! He’s trying to make you kill the bae.
Damn I keep forgetting how much the arena hurt Megatron mentally. :(
Ah yes, OP comforting Sky Lynx
Dang Galvatron don’t got them lips.
Woah the hate plague appears again? Damn Megan what you doing?
Sky Lynx NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What what Unicron and the golden discs! And now the bots are before Earth. It’s building up to Kingdom!
Episode 6: Megatron still after OP I see.
Wow Arcee strong enough to chokehold Starscream. ,,•^•,,
YES COG, QUESTION OP. Optimus, why you holding a gun to Megatron, trying to force him to accept your apology and forgive you.
COG NOOOOOOO
ah yeah more Elita and co screentime.
Shockwave stalking Elita with a invisibility cloak
And now OP and Megatron yelling and fighting. OP’s officially lost it guys
Ooh Bumblebee is taking charge
Ooh the mercenary gray Wheeljack is named Exhaust and the gray Bumblebee is named Bug Bite
Lol Elita tripped on air. Nvm it was Shockwave.
Shockwave actually believes Elita knew the Guardians.
And now Elita and her team have been compromised. :(
Doubledealer nooooo. Deseeus better let him go
COG, YOU’RE ALIVE?!
okay so Spinister caught Elita’s team, Shockwave has Elita.
COG NOOOO! cog :,(
ELITA NOOOO
EVERYONE NOOOOOOOOO :,,,,0
oh shit Megs got the Matrix, and he calling OP Orion
YEAH BEE! SHOOT MEGS
oh no he got away with the Matrix
Ooh Earth!

Merry Christmas and such. Here’s a small fic. ❤
Jon blinks. The lights in the archives are bright and the smell of mulled wine is so strong it's almost nauseatingly pungent and sweet, and he has little memory how he came to be there. At first, he panics; it's a reasonable response to finding one's self in the midst of a situation that cannot be recalled or reasoned with. But it feels... benign. It feels celebratory, so he leans back in his chair and takes a breath, tries to remember how he got there before making any rash decisions. There is a mug there on his table, the same table he's been working at for years, on top of a statement he assumes he was interrupted examining if not reading when the mug arrived. He touches it with his fingertips, the warm side of it, to assure himself that it is real and this is not a hallucination. His head aches a little, but everything seems to be alright; the mug is corporeal enough, its ceramic side smooth and polished, and as he turns it he feels a little... awkward reading the text printed upon its side. Tears of my employees, it states. The tears are red, the pungent and sweet smell lingering heavy in the steam that rises from them. Jon forces himself to laugh a little. He doesn't remember how the mug's gotten there, but... it feels appropriate enough. With a shiver he turns the text away from himself and lifts the mug to his lips, if only to continue reassuring himself that this is normal.
Of course it's normal. This is the Institute he works at. This is his... his office, his territory, his Archive. It seems significant, but it's mundane. He's been here for years, hasn't he?
He drinks the mulled wine and places the mug back on the table. Yes, everything is as it should be. He's just tired. He doesn't sleep well, after all. That sounds like him. His fingertips turn the page of the statement idly before he leans over it and clears his throat.
*
"Hold it," Martin breathes out, and Tim's fingers wrap around the kitten more firmly.
It's struggling, the little beast. Sasha doesn't look like she approves of what they're doing.
"Hey, Sasha? It's a cat. It'll be fine," Tim tells her, noticing the same sour look upon her features. "Cats love boxes."
"Could you just wrap a ribbon around it or something?" Sasha asks. "This just seems cruel for no particular reason. It doesn't have to be literally wrapped up."
"It's fine, Sasha, I'm leaving it a lot of space to breathe. It'll only be there for like, five minutes," Martin assures her. He's almost finished measuring the square of wrappings they need to cover the whole cardboard box. The paper's got some cartoony trees printed upon it with little golden, metallic stars on top of them and floating about the space inbetween. He's feeling a little... antsy, really. Jon makes him feel that way. It's nothing new, of course, he just... he's just a little bit in love. It's fine. That's how it should be. It feels right. "Okay. Drop her in, will you?"
Tim grabs the kitten under its tiny arms, and it meows loudly in protest even as he cups its behind in his palm. He lifts it up to his face and smiles at it, fingertip running down the top of its small head and between the two grey-brown, black-tipped tabby ears - they've got little tufts of fur on top sticking up like a lynx's ears. Martin watches him, unable to help the soft smile on his face. Jon's going to love it. They've talked about it before, haven't they? Martin can't exactly remember, but he knows Jon's wanted a cat for a long time. This one's a... a rescue. Someone's accidental litter. It's going to be a great cat for Jon, and Martin had to get it because... because Jon's never going to, right? He doesn't plan for the future like that. He's too stuck being a workaholic. He needs something to get him going home in the evenings.
Martin lifts the box and holds the top open, and Tim lifts the cat up above it and slowly places it inside. The kitten meows again even as its body meets the towels inside that Martin brought from home to have them smelling like him, but it appears to calm down soon and curiously sniffs around itself even as the lid of the box is closed again. Sasha lets out a disapproving sigh, but doesn't contest it when Martin places the box down on the square of paper laid out on the floor and begins to wrap it up.
"You know they say don't ever buy an animal for somebody else as a Christmas present? That's how you get strays," she says then.
"Ah, drop it, Sasha," Tim says cheerfully, stretching his arms up above his head. "Martin's right, Jon's never going to do it and he needs something soft and warm to cuddle at night that isn't literally Martin. Maybe it'll relax him a little bit, I don't know. Really, it's harmless. He'll love it."
"Well, just tell him I'll take the cat if he ends up feeling like he has to give her up," Sasha says with weight in her words, and Martin nods.
"I'll tell him that. It's going to be ok, Sasha, we've talked about it before. He wants a cat, it's just... never a good time for him. So, you know. We just thought we'd pick a good time for him."
Sasha leans her body to Martin's office desk and lifts up her mug of eggnog. Tim notices and parts his eyes from the box now containing a small cat, and he lifts his gaze to Sasha, smirking. It takes Sasha a moment to realise her drink has been contaminated.
"You didn't," she says, barely containing a snort to retain her fake-judgemental voice.
"Oh, I'd never," Tim reassures her, smiling brightly.
Martin eyes his own eggnog suspiciously, but he's got his hands full of wrapping paper and tape. The truth will have to wait. *
There's a knock on the door. It comes at a good moment: the mulled wine he drank almost without noticing was most certainly alcoholic and Jon can feel it in his relaxed, warm body. His anxiety's toned down and everything feels temporarily almost alright, even though the statement he spoke into his recorder still lingers at the edges of his consciousness where he's laid it to rest.
"Come in," he calls clearly through the haze.
Martin peeks his head in, and Jon's chest tightens. He smiles a genuine, relieved smile, although he's uncertain why he feels that way at the sight of him. Maybe he was afraid Martin wouldn't be there. After all, he's still not really sure how he ended up there himself - he just knows that it's alright that they're all there. They... all. Yes; behind Martin he can see Sasha peeking in, and behind them stands Tim, carrying a thermos with him. They all file into the room and close the door behind them. Martin at the head has his arms wrapped around a gift-wrapped square, and Jon has the creeping feeling he'll be the recipient of it.
"Ready for a second round?" Tim asks, stepping forwards and leaving Jon no time to decline before he's already poured him a second mug of the same mulled wine. "Nice mug."
Jon tilts his head a little uncertainly, attempting a smile. "Thank you," he says, not for the comment on his mug but for the drink that he didn't ask for. He's got a feeling that he wants to be a little intoxicated today, that he's been due for a little relaxation for a long time now.
"Don't drink too much," Martin says as he steps up next, taking Tim's place at the front. "Tim's probably been more than a little heavy-handed with that, if the eggnog is anything to go by."
"I'm just making sure we're all having a good time and we all know that the only way to have a good time at the Magnus Institute is to be really, really drunk so you don't know that you're there to begin with," Tim states in a contented tone.
Martin rolls his eyes and places the box in front of Jon. "Merry Christmas, Jon."
Jon reaches his hand forwards, then retreats it and glances up at Martin. He's smiling so softly, his eyes warm as they meet Jon's, and Jon's heart skips a beat. He smiles back and pulls his mug closer as if for emotional support, and then he looks down at the box which is... making a sound, a scratching sound that alarms him, makes him question where he is again. Is it something bad? Will something change if he opens it? He picks up the little card attached to the ribbon.
"From Martin, Tim and Sasha. To Jon." The back of the card, in Sasha's handwriting, states: "Open quickly."
Jon lifts his gaze back to Martin for comfort. If Martin's there then nothing inside the box can be that bad. It'll be alright, he knows it will. He knows it like it's plain as day to him, the only thing he needs is to reassure himself that Martin's with him. He wouldn't take a noisy box like that from anybody else but he trusts Martin, at least. He loves Martin. The thought warms him up almost as much as the mouthful of mulled wine he drinks before he sets his fingers to the task of unwrapping a cardboard box. There's a sound... a sound that a little baby might make, he thinks, and his hands stop over the box for a moment. No, not a baby, a baby animal: it's either a little whimper or a meow. His lips part and his heart races a little faster, and he turns the flap of the box to pull it up.
Inside he finds a tiny, curious tabby: black stripes, yellow eyes, white paws and chest and a brownish coat underneath all those markings. Its little pink nose lifts up and sniffs his fingers and it meows again, lifting its paws onto the edge of the box and pulling itself up to climb out, but the box is too tall, so Jon reaches in and helps it onto his hands. It's so small, so fragile in his palms and so completely unthreatening and mundane and good that he almost tears up at the sight. The silence in the room is ringing in his ears before he lifts his gaze, and he's got that stupid smile of wonder on his face that he knows makes him look at least ten years younger than he is, and a hundred younger than he feels.
"Thank you," he breathes out.
Martin chuckles. Sasha exchanges looks with Tim, who's grinning in his usual way.
"We all thought you needed a friend," Martin says, daring to step closer to the desk again. His hands land on the edge and he breathes out, shivering before a chuckle escapes him. "You can name her whatever you'd like."
Jon's holding the cat against his chest now, and she's very quiet there, no longer struggling but simply soaking up his warmth. He feels an emotion he can't really describe that makes him reach out his other hand and touch Martin on the cheek, and Martin closes his eyes and smiles and leans closer, and they kiss softly over the desk. The audience lets out a mixed response: Sasha chuckles, Tim sighs.
"There they go again," Tim says, that same grin lingering in his voice.
Jon ignores him. "Would you help me pick a name?" he asks, his lips still very close to Martin's.
"Tonight after work?" Martin asks, and Jon nods.
He knows that they're headed for the same address - wherever in London that is. It all feels... very good now; so very real that he can almost believe it.

I found a LOT of bug pictures while looking for pics of Momma. I'll share them now.
Tumblr media
Here's my best pic of Momma.
Tumblr media
Here's Momma and her babies
The biggest Roly Poly I ever found. Here in Texas, we call them Roly Polies
I found this cute little guy on the side of my friends' house
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's Sticks, for some reason, he would always move from the bathroom to somewhere else. Reminds me of a time when he was walking on my ceiling so I literally stood on my bed and tried to grab him carefully but he fell from my ceiling and I called my mom into my room to get her to help me get him because I didn't want to accidentally kill him. Mom came in and grabbed him, yes, I was completely still before she grabbed him. He was fine after the whole ordeal and he went on to have babies with Momma.
Tumblr media
Speaking of which, here is Sticks and Momma. Sticks is on the left, Momma on the right.
Tumblr media
I found this little guy at my old school, I'm hoping it can be identified
Tumblr media
Here's a spider I found in my bathroom that I named Goldie.
Tumblr media
Here is Tiny. Idk if this was the dad of the first eggs Momma laid.
Tumblr media
I found this thing in Florida. It looks like an American Cockroach but I know it can't be because of what appears to be stripes. My dad has told me Palmeto bugs look like American Cockroaches.
I would have posted the other photos as well but I'll do that in another submit since I can only post 10 photos which sucks. So consider this Part 1 of my creepy crawly album.
@symbi-that-one-parasite​ These are all delightful! Especially Momma and her babies. And also the very large woodlouse and wolf spider below it. Goldie is a lynx of some sort, probably a striped lynx though I can’t see him super clearly. The one you found at your school is also not very clear but perhaps a triangulate combfoot? Palmetto bugs are just another name for some cockroaches. That one is an Australian cockroach. I don’t know why it’s called that because it’s not originally from Australia and is fairly common in the Southern US!
Thanks for sharing all these pals, hopefully I didn’t forget any you wanted IDed. :)

Hoatzin are known from the Amazon Basin
Physical Description: Hoatzin are weird birds, in terms of literally everything - proportion, physical traits, everything. They are the size of your typical pheasant, about 62 to 70 centimeters long, and are literally unmistakeable to spot. With small heads, long necks, and huge round bodies, they look almost like nonavian dinosaurs in terms of overall body shape. The small head features a tiny pointed beak, blue patches around a red eye, and a noticeable crest of orange to brown feathers all around the back of the head like a crown. The back of its neck is black and white spotted, with the throat a more beige-yellow color. This transitions to red feathers along the belly and rump. The back of the hoatzin is brown, while the wings are brown, red, and black and white striped like the back of the neck. The legs are stout and grey. The tail feathers are black with white tips. The females have shorter crests than males, but otherwise look the same - and the juveniles look similar to the adults. The babies are brown and fluffy, with very reduced wings and - often noticed - external wing claws, though these aren’t unique to the Hoatzin and are found on other living dinosaurs (birds). 
Tumblr media
By Adlaya
The internal anatomy of the Hoatzin is notable, too - it has a very large crop that fermates vegetable matter like mammalian ruminants, a structure that isn’t found in any other known dinosaur (not to say this might not have evolved in extinct forms; we just don’t have fossil evidence for it). This fermentation gives the Hoatzin a very smelly odor as it digests its food! 
Tumblr media
By Francesco Veronesi, CC BY-SA 2.0 
Diet: The Hoatzin feeds primarily on leaves and fruit, including green leaves and buds. Fruit are the primary food for the Hoatzin during the dry season. It is an obligate herbivore.
Behavior: The Hoatzin feeds mainly in large social groups in the early morning and near dusk, and also during moonlit nights. It will balance itself on branches using the bump of its crop, and it climbs clumsily amongst the branches - they are even fairly tame, though they get stressed out by frequent human visits, but it’s easy to approach in the wild. It makes a variety of calls, including hisses, grunting, squawking, and croaking, usually made in conjunction with raising and lowering their wings. While mostly tame, they can get very defensive of their nests. They are very bad fliers, cannot swim, walk, or even hop - they move from branch to branch clumsily and never go back down to the ground. They make short migrations of up to 2 kilometers to find fresh food, but nothing more.  
Tumblr media
By Warren H., CC BY 2.0 
The Hoatzin makes its nests in the rainy season, depending on where it lives - so any time of the year, really, since the rainy season varies from place to place in its range. They form monogamous mated pairs, and enlist the help of up to six helpers - usually their former children - in preparing their nests and caring for the new young. These nests are placed in dense trees, usually over water surfaces, and are made out of unlined platforms of dry sticks. Usually the nests are placed all close together, with up to 250 nests placed along stretches of trees for up to 7 kilometers. Usually two eggs are laid which are incubated by the whole family. The chicks have dark brown, fluffy coats, and can escape predators by diving into the water and swimming away before climbing back into the trees. They leave the nest at two to three weeks old, and can’t fly for a little while longer - instead, they depend on the adults of their families for food for another three months. The more children there are from past breeding seasons, the less the mother works; the father works the same amount no matter what. They finally leave the family to breed on their own at two to three years of age. 
Tumblr media
By Brian Ralphs, CC BY 2.0
Ecosystem: Hoatzin live in tropical wet forests, usually alongside rivers and lakes - where the wettest vegetation can be found, as they rarely drink, and instead get most of their water from their leaves and fruit. They are often found in mangrove habitats as well for those populations near the coast. They are forced out of these habitats when their homes dry out, but they avoid moving if they can help it.
Tumblr media
By Cláudio Dias Timm, CC BY-SA 2.0 
Other: Despite being extremely noticeable birds, Hoatzin are not endangered - probably because no one wants to hunt them with all the stinkiness (and associated bad taste)! Still, ecotourism does stress out the birds and leads to lower survival rates of chicks, and they are heavily threatened by planned work in the Amazon basin - which is why we have to protect these habitats. Hoatzin are extremely unique birds - unlike any others, and in their own phylogenetic grouping. In fact, for the longest time we had no clue what they were closely related to. For now, it seems they’re just outside the group Telluraves - the group of most tree-dwelling birds such as birds of prey, trogons, kingfishers, woodpeckers, parrots, and passerines. But even that is up to debate, and more research is needed before we can be sure.

8. Tell us an anecdote about your pets!
It's hard to pick just one story! But here goes.
Last year, Sara and I went to the Outer Banks, NC, with a bunch of people for the holidays. We were gone for about five days, and had organized a couple petsitters and friends to stop in and care for (and spend time with) the boys. All was going well the first few days, we got daily pictures and updates of our happy lil potatoes. 
.......all good until the final visit, one of my college friends and her roommate stopped by to feed them. She texted me to let me know she had gotten there, and then a couple minutes later, I got a phone call. "Um......hey Kat? Are they supposed to be, like, loose? I think they're running around your living room." She pulled up video chat and showed us the scene of destruction. 
Lynx was running wild under the couch, and had chewed through all of the cords he could reach. Leo was off in his own world, munching away on Rigel and Io's food, and Rigel & Io were totally freaked out, rumble-strutting and pacing around their cage that had been broken into. (Lynx and Leo were definitely the instigators - not only did they break out of their own cage, they went around to the other side and wiggled their way into Rigel & Io's.) 
We spent twenty minutes coordinating as these poor ladies caught the boys, put them back in their proper cages, and fixed the part of the cage they had escaped from. I told her to not hold back and to ziptie everything together, she even put one of our ottomans in front of the gate so they couldn't accidentally push it open. For two people who have never handled guinea pigs in their lives, they did such a great job! I felt SO bad for them. And ever since, I'm always super nervous leaving them alone for even a night. We are about to go on the same trip, and we’re thinking of taking all four boys and driving them down to North Carolina with us, because even with sitters, we don’t trust them on their own! 
10. Do you have cute/silly nicknames for your pets? What are they?
OH BOY we have some nicknames. 
As a group, we call them the chonkers, potatoes, tots, gorditos, conejitos, lil shits, lil monsters, and pretty much whatever pops into our minds at the time. Here are some individual nickames (which we use out of love!):
Leo: fatty, chonky, chonky boy, fatso, mr. nibbles, nibbles
Lynx: lil monster, hay monster, mr. monster, chonky boy
Rigel: fluffy, floof, the mop, the goodest boy, cinnamon bun, wigel, rigey-rige
Io: (we call him tiny so much that he probably doesn't even know his name is io), tiny, mr. tiny, the tiny boy, funky dude
14. Have you ever had a pet playdate/meetup? (Would you like to?)
We had a couple playdates about two years ago, when Lynx & Leo were just babies. Our roommate's friend brought over her pig, Piggie, and they had floor time and munched on hay together. We would love playdates, but I think the boys are too territorial to be around other pigs. We have to keep the pairs separate, because they get super standoffish and nasty with each other. Our boys love the partner they live with, but really don't play well with others.

Hi 'tis I the thunderiron whore.....😂 So for the au fic ask otp thunderiron with yellow color please.
Yellow= dragon/ shapeshifter AU
**
“Does anyone know what Thor’s form is?” Tony asks.
Natasha shrugs, painting her nails in disinterest. Steve looks like a confused eagle, fitting considering his shifter form is an eagle. And he’s born on the fourth of July. And his favorite color combination happens to be red, white, and blue. He resents being so violently American considering he has a long list of problems with the country but everyone else thinks its funny. Especially considering his best friend is named after two US presidents. Guy was basically set up to be the most American American in the country.
Rhodey rolls his eyes though, “what’s it matter? He’s not topping dragon for cool forms, you’ve got pretty much everyone except the five other dragons in the world beat,” he points out.
Yeah, Tony was annoyed with that. He used to be the only one but then Wakanda showed up drunk to the party with four more dragons so screw them. Even if he thinks Shuri is the best and, for the first time maybe ever, he finally gets the opportunity to learn about engineering from someone else. Also, her dragon form is black and silver and its totally badass. His is red and gold, not yellow, gold. He and Shuri did a photoshoot once just because they look awesome standing next to each other. Thor has like fifty of the pictures taped to his wall because apparently he can’t be assed to buy frames. Which, that’s Thor for you.
“Yeah, but we’re all shifters and we know everyone’s form but his. We even know Loki’s,” he points out.
“That’s because Loki has tried to eat no less than five of us as a wolf,” Clint says.
“Well, whatever it is it can’t be worse than Clint being a gold fish,” Bucky says.
“Actually Scott being an ant is absolutely worse.” He didn’t even know that was possible, being an insect in another form. It is, obviously, but its exceedingly rare- almost dragon rare. Which really does make being an ant that much more insulting. Imagine having one of the most rare shifter forms in the world but you’re an ant. Tony would kill himself in shame. Probably by drowning in a cup because he wants to go out dramatically. Rhodey would probably fish him out though.
“Yeah, imagine being a dingo. People keep fucking screaming ‘a dingo ate my baby!’ at me,” Rhodey says, imitating the terrible Australian accent that often gets thrown his way.
“People keep trying to harvest my scales by either breaking into my house or straight up trying to harpoon me so,” Tony shrugs. “I don’t think you have it the worst.”
“Okay, but what if Thor has like. A super embarrassing form?” Natasha says, turning to Tony. “As his boyfriend you’re legally obligated to suck his dick and find out, immediately reporting to us that he’s a plankton or something.”
“I think he could be something more embarrassing than that,” Bucky says. “Like a jellyfish.”
Clint frowns, “jellyfish are cool.”
Bucky’s eyebrows draw together, “jellyfish have no brains,” he tells him.
“Oh, so that’s what your form is then,” Clint says, snickering.
“Clint, you’ve literally pet me outside the VA. You know I’m a chocolate lab,” Bucky says, confused.
Clint looks confused and a little horrified. “Wait, the one armed lab outside the VA is you?” he asks and Bucky rolls his eyes.
“How many one armed vets do you know that go to that specific VA that are also chocolate labs, Clint? Yeah the fucking dog is me. Explains the weird baby talk thing you do but I ignored it because you pet ears good,” he mumbles.
Rhodey smacks a palm to his forehead and sighs. “Can’t be worse than people trying to pet you,” Tony points out. “Only the Australians know the danger of the dingo.”
“Yeah, true, but also I don’t bite. I’m not a savage,” he says.
Yeah, he only bites if he gets real pissed off and of the five times he’s bitten someone there’s an eighty percent chance it was Justin Hammer. Fifth time goes to Obadiah and it hadn’t been pretty. He should be lucky it was Rhodey over Pepper because he’s seen her hunt as a cougar, she’s fucking terrifying and she wouldn’t have taken Obadiah down like Rhodey had, she would have straight up eviscerated him. She genuinely doesn’t like job hunting so she probably wouldn’t take too kindly to her boss and also best friend being murdered.
“This is why I like being a dragon,” Tony says, “no one walks up to a house sized lizard and thinks ‘hmm, looks like my friend’s gecko I’ll pet it.’ One of the few perks, aside from looking totally badass.” Downside? People try to kill him a lot because dragons scales are the most valuable material on this planet. Next up goes to vibranium. He doesn’t much care for being more valuable than vibranium.
Natasha rolls her eyes at them. “Suck Thor’s dick. Find out what he is. Tell everyone,” she tells him. “That’s your mission, go get it done.”
**
Tony curls up with Thor watching some backing show he doesn’t give a shit about but Thor’s into it. Tony doesn’t mind because he makes really good sweet tarts and Tony likes fruits more than most other things. Not surprising, considering his form.
“How come I’ve never seen your animal form? I’ve seen Loki’s but not yours,” he points out. Subtlety isn’t his thing and he doesn’t think sucking Thor’s dick will put him in a better mood, he’s almost never in a bad mood to begin with. Unless Loki has done something to fuck him up, or on the rare occasion Hela appears dressed like she killed her husband for his money and she’s ready to kill her family for theirs too. Which is surprisingly likely. Tony finds it weird that, technically, Thor is the black sheep of the family. His older sister? Dark hair, mental issues, ready to kill at a moment’s notice. Loki? Technically adopted, but has dark hair, mental issues, and is also ready to kill at a moment’s notice. Thor? Blonde, always chipper, and is the human embodiment of being a ray of sunshine.
“You’ve seen my form,” Thor mumbles, avoiding the subject in such an obvious way that even Tony can’t miss it.
“Thor. No I haven’t. And your brother tried to eat me twice, so you can’t be worse than that,” he says. His guess? Thor is a lab but he’s self conscious about it because labs are a popular dog form. Usually golden labs, chocolate labs and other color variations like Bucky’s are more unusual. But that’s his theory, that Thor has a common form that he’s embarrassed about and that’s why no one has seen him in his shifter body.
“It is,” Thor says, looking away in embarrassment.
“Dude. Clint’s a fucking goldfish. If he’s not standing in a dish of water when he changes he’ll die. There is no way you have it worse than that. And Steve’s form just goes to make him even more violently American. And people consistently try to kill me. We’ve all got weird shit going on, I’m sure your fine. Honestly the only ones who don’t have weird things going on are Natasha because lynx cats aren’t exactly interesting and Bucky, because labs are cute. Even Rhodey has it strange with people accusing him of eating babies.” He so resents being a dingo of all things and its worse because he looks exactly like a dog. A weird dog, but a dog. Children try to pet him sometimes and generally it results in a ‘do not for the love of god pet a dingo’ lessons just in case they bump into an actual dingo.
Thor sighs, “you have to promise not to laugh,” he says.
“If you’re like a chinchilla or something they’re cute,” Tony tells him. “And soft.”
“I’m not a chinchilla,” Thor mumbles, prodding Tony to get out of his lap so he does. Thor pulls himself off the couch and walks over to a clear spot in the living room.
There’s many things Tony would have expected, but none are what he finds. He doesn’t laugh as he leans over and calls Thor over, grinning as he happily trots over and lets Tony pick him up.
**
Natasha’s phone rings and she frowns as she looks at the video call from Tony but she answers it. “Say hello to Thor,” he says, pointing the phone at…
“Is that a chihuahua?” Clint asks.
Thor looks at Tony, then the phone, and back to Tony with a betrayed look on his face before he lets out a vicious growl and launches his tiny body at Tony’s phone. The call drops and they all stare at Natasha’s phone for a moment. “Well, he’s dead,” she says after a moment. “I call dibs on his sports cars.”
“Dibs on the baseball memorabilia,” Steve says.
“I want the mansion,” Clint says.
“Dibs on the suits,” Carol says and frowns when the guys give her a funny look. “What? We’re the same size and he wears Gucci. I’ve always wanted a Gucci suit and I think I’d look better in them than he does.”
“Beware the boob gap with the button downs though,” Natasha says and Carol groans.
“Ugh, the fucking boob gap! I’ll figure it out.”
“Excuse you,” Rhodey says. “I am his best friend so I get dibs on all his shit. I want the red Ferrari, I don’t give a shit about baseball so Steve can still have all that, fuck you Clint I get the mansion and the lab in the basement, Carol you can have his suits because everyone else is taller than him so no one will fit into his clothes anyway. And before the rest of you call dibs on anything it goes through me you damn vultures.”

When Tony shows up at the door he doesn’t look happy. “Since you legally obligated me to figure out what Thor’s form was you’re officially legally obligated to house me while I’m in the dog house post violent chihuahua attack,” Tony tells Natasha.
She shrugs and lets him in. Clint snorts, “well its not Thor’s dog house you’re in, you can’t fit inside,” he says, snickering at his own joke.
“Shit, I’ll be honest. I’m not even sure Sam could fit inside and he’s a bird so. Yeah, poor guy really got fucked over,” Rhodey says, shaking his head.
“Still not worse than Scott,” Tony says and everyone shakes their heads.
“Nah, being that big and intimidating as a person and that small and useless as a shifter? That’s the worst. You wouldn’t get it because you’re so tiny,” Carol says and Tony glares at her.
“Oh fuck off, we’re the same size!” he snaps.
Carol shrugs, “yeah, but spiritually I’m much taller.”

Pieces of April [8/?]
AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21099044/chapters/50202530
Summary: On the anniversary of his death, Jason’s second life takes an abrupt new turn and he’s faced with a challenge that neither Batman nor the All-Caste prepared him for.
Rating: PG-13 (rating may change later)
Warning(s): Past Jason/Isabel, kidfic, minor canon character death (pretty sure you can guess who), I’ll add more warnings/tags as I think of them.
Canon-Compliance: Takes place in between the two RHATO series, so after Roy and Kori and before Artemis and Bizarro. Jason and Isabel Ardila
Author’s Note: Exactly what it says on the can. I’ve had this idea kicking around my head for a while, getting in the way of finishing the next chapter of Philtatos and I figured if I started jotting down the basics of it, I could stop thinking about it.
________________________________________________________________
Tim drives to one of Jason’s safehouses in the Bowery, about halfway between his apartment and the bar where he found Jason earlier. The place is a rundown, fire-damaged building with boarded-up windows and a sign out front advertising cheap studios.
“Do you need any help?” he asks as Jason gets out of the car.
“Just how much stuff do you think I need?” is the irate response before Jason vanishes into the dilapidated lobby.
Tim scowls at his back.
Someone remind me why I’m helping this jerk again?
The memory of the very tiny human still in the nursery at Gotham General makes his facial muscles relax.
Right.
Given the circumstances, Tim supposes he can overlook Jason’s inconsistent moods. He needs someone to lash out at right now while processing, and it’s not like Tim isn’t used to it. Better him than the criminals of Gotham; Jason’s pretty good these days about not using lethal force, but he might not care so much if he goes out without his head on straight.
Speaking of going out…
Tim surprised when Jason actually returns to the car ten minutes later instead of just vanishing. As he indicated earlier, he doesn’t have very much with him, just a worn duffel bag that he tosses in the backseat of Tim’s Porsche before having himself back into the passenger seat.
“Hope there aren’t any severed heads in there,” Tim remarks lightly as pulls away from the building. “I just had the seats redone.”
Jason rolls his eyes. “A guy makes one grand statement and they never let him forget it.”
“You don’t want people to forget it.”
“True,” he agrees with a sharp grin that is anything but humorous.
It’s a short journey back to Tim’s place, but he still drives around the block to use the secret entrance to his base of operations.
“What, I’m not good enough for your front door?”
“Be my guest. Say hi to Vicki Vale when you do, she’s usually lurking nearby.” When Jason shoots him a sharp, questioning look he elaborates, “An occupational hazard of being the face of WE is having paparazzi camped out around my place every now and then. I figure you don’t want your face showing up on the front of the Gotham Gazette.”
“Yeah, that might have been worth mentioning when you offered your guestroom.”
“Guess it’s a good thing like all responsible Bats, I have an underground secret hideout.”
He pulls into the back alley and flips the switch that activates the hidden ramp; the ground falls away and leads down toward the carpark. Tim won’t lie, he enjoys the way Jason’s eyebrows go higher the further in they get. The rest of the Family doesn’t come here—even during citywide emergencies, the agreed-upon convergence point tends to be the original Batcave—so Tim doesn’t have a lot of opportunities to show off.
And maybe showing off to his former childhood idol is something that doesn’t go away, no matter how many years or murder attempts.
That subbasement is nowhere near as large as any of the Caves, but there are two other cars and a half-dozen motorcycles in various states of modification parked in a circle. Tim eases into the only empty space and cuts the engine.
“Welcome to the Nest,” he says as he gets out of the car. “It goes three floors up not including this level. Outside it looks like just another apartment building behind my place, so no one would expect an actual secure installation inside.” He gestures as he speaks. “Ground floor’s got my crime lab and containment units, the second floor’s all training stuff, and the third’s the communication’s hub. There’s even aerial access, but I haven’t had to use it yet.”
Jason shakes his head. “Must be nice to be Dad’s favorite.”
“I wouldn’t know, you’d have to ask Dick.”
“Is that a popcorn machine?”
“No self-respecting hero’s lair should be without one,” Tim quips. “Come on, the living area’s this way.
They head up the stairs to the main level, and Tim doesn’t miss the appreciative glances Jason casts his tech and gear. He opens his mouth to offer to hook Jason up—extend the olive branch, so to speak—but stops himself; he doesn’t know if, after this whole baby adventure is over, Jason’s even going to want to stay in Gotham.
He slides open the hidden door, revealing Tim’s apartment. It’s the same deliberately clean open-concept room as he left it, except for one change. Across from the aquarium that hides the entrance switch, Tam Fox is reclining on the divan in the living room, one hand holding a glass of wine and another flipping expertly across her tablet.
She startles at the sound of the secret door sliding open, and that movement makes Jason tense, fingers ready to grasp for a weapon if need be.
“Relax,” Tim tells him, unsurprised when Jason does the opposite. “She knows everything.”
“And that’s reassuring how?”
“I trust Tam with my life, and to put my interests above WE’s or Bruce’s,” he explains. “Since at the moment you and I are working together, that means she puts your interests above WE and Bruce’s too.”
“She can hear you and knows how to speak for herself,” Tam quips, putting down her glass and standing up. “Who’s this?”
“This is Jason, the friend I was telling you about.”
Tim can almost hear Jason scowling at that; he trusts new people about as much as Bruce does.
Funnily enough, they both make the exact same face.
“And since when is there wine in my apartment?”
“Since you sent me scrambling around Gotham running errands, you generously decided to buy me a bottle of this very nice Riesling,” she replies, studying Jason. “When you said you had a friend with an emergency that required diapers, I was expecting Batgirl. Or Wonder Girl. Or Pru. Or, heck, even that Lynx-woman.”  
“Lynx?” Jason repeats, shooting Tim a disbelieving look. “Ghost Dragons Lynx? There’s no way you have that much game.”
“Then he didn’t tell you about what almost happened in Paris,” Tam informs him.
“Anyway,” Tim interjects. That’s all he needs is for Jason to hear about his own near brush with fatherhood. “This is Tam. Officially she’s my personal assistant, but I think ‘friend and confidante’ covers the relationship a lot better. And Tam, this is—"
“Jason Todd,” she says immediately, her eyes fixed on the other man in disbelief. Tim is momentarily caught off-guard. “It took me a minute, but I recognize you anywhere.”
Okay. I didn’t expect that. Though I probably should have. The Foxes were invited to all the same benefits and events Mom and Dad were. She probably knew or knew of Jason.
“Tam,” Jason repeats, tilting his head to one side and frowning at her for a moment like he’s trying to place her. His expression clears. “Tam. Tamara. Fox, right? You knocked Ned Davenport into a potted plant during Bruce’s birthday party one year.”
For once this evening, Tim is the one to feel a little bit off balance. Jason never talks about his time at Wayne manor in anything but unpleasant terms. And yet, Tim knows from Alfred’s stories that there were happy times and that once, Jason was as much a part of life at the manor as Tim or Damian.
 “He deserved it for ‘accidentally’ grazing my boobs when he passed by. Three times. And—and that’s not the point! You died!”
“I got better,” he replies with a bitter twist of his mouth.
She gapes for a moment, then reaches for her glass and downs the remainder of it.
“I’m going to become an alcoholic before I’m 25,” she tells the empty glass in a resigned tone before turning back to Jason. “Okay. I don’t even question this stuff anymore,” she informs him. “He could show up tomorrow with the Devil himself and I wouldn’t be surprised.”
“Kid Devil, maybe. Lucifer doesn’t like Gotham. He's more of a beach-party kind of guy."
Tam stares, clearly unsure if Jason is being serious or not; Tim actually isn’t sure either and decides to change the subject.
“You want something to drink?” he asks as he heads for the kitchen. He doubts Jason will notice or care, but his mother raised him to be polite even to people that don’t like him. “I doubt you want anything alcoholic after everything today, but I think I’ve got Zesti—”
“Water,” Jason says absently, looking around the apartment. Now that Tam has been proven as a non-threat, he’s clearly more interested in assessing his surroundings.
He notices the large pile of boxes and bags by the stairs at the same time Tim does.
“What the hell’s this?”
“I called Tam and said it was an emergency and that we needed a few things.”
“This is not a few things.”
“Well, you don’t know how long you’re going to need them,” Tam replies. “Congratulations, by the way.” Tim can’t see Jason’s expression, but doubts it’s a good one from the way Tam quickly adds, "Or no congratulations? Where are we on the whole 'congratulations' thing?”
I don’t think either of us has the energy to get into what happened with Isabel just now. Redirection time.
“Did you have any trouble picking up the stuff?” Tim asks as he gets two glasses from the kitchen cupboard.
“Trouble?” she snorts, and her voice instantly goes from bemused to annoyed. “Do you know how hard it was to get all of this delivered without someone seeing me? Or seeing that it was baby stuff? That’s all I need now is Vicki Vale adding cradle-robbing and teen parenthood to her stories about us.”
“What’s Vicki doing this time?” Jason asks.
“She’s been trying to prove Tim’s Red Robin for the better part of a year,” Tam says. “She tried to get me to confirm that last year when all those ninjas tried to kill us, but I panicked and said we were engaged just to distract her.”
“Talk about taking one for the team,” Jason mutters.
Tim glares at him, and if he shoves the glass of water into his hands a little more forceful than he needs to, oh well. “She trots out that dead horse whenever Tam and I happen to be in the same room together.”
“Which is doing wonders for my career,” Tam deadpans. “People already scream nepotism because of who my father is, but now I’ve been reduced to either Tim Drake-Wayne’s assistant or Tim Drake-Wayne’s fiancée.”
“Hope he’s paying you overtime,” Jason says and wanders over to the intimidating tower of cardboard and plastic. He makes a face. “How much of this shit did you order? There’s like a lifetime supply of diapers here.”
“Trust me, that’ll last a month if you’re lucky,” Tam informs him. “My nieces and nephews did nothing but eat and poop for the first year of their lives.”
Jason appears vaguely horrified. His gaze rests on something else. “Is that a car seat?”
“How else were you expecting to bring home a baby? Carry her on a subway?”
Neither man has a response to this.
“Oh, this is going to go well,” she sighs. “Neither of you has any idea what you’re doing, do you?”
“That would be putting it lightly,” Tim acknowledges, and side-eyes Jason. “We should probably sit down and talk options, but that can wait until tomorrow if you want.”
“Tomorrow,” Jason agrees, and he sounds so exhausted and lost, that Jason takes pity on him.
“Come on, then. I’ll show you to the guestroom,” he offers and starts up the stairs. “It’s right next to the bathroom, if you want to shower. The water pressure here’s not great—” He shrugs, as if to say, ‘Park Row, what can you do?’ “—but it’s unlimited hot water.”
Surprisingly, Jason follows without comment.
“I’ll be here,” Tam says, and there’s an undertone to her words that suggest she’s not going anywhere until Tim explains the whole story.
And isn’t that going to be fun…

I’ll want to add more if I keep going, but... here’s my... message about Mynx...
I've thought a lot about how to make this post.
What to start it off with, how to end it, but none of it actually "works", so I'm just going to type until I'm done.  Or until I'm as done as I can be.
Mynx came into my life a few months after Nightwish suddenly passed.  She must've been only a few months old, at best.
Someone from my mom's old job said there was a kitten in the parking lot - just... there.  Never been seen before.  My mom goes out with another co-worker at the time, and Mynx does figure-8's around her legs/feet.
My mom knew, at that point, she chose her human family.
Of course, I was still in mourning over Nightwish.  I had never lost a furbaby that was /mine/ and that I was responsible for until Nightwish.  We had barely got to know her after some circumstances that involved moving and a year of separation where, thankfully, my Aunt (Thanks again @Jean) allowed her and Majic into her home.
After that, Nightwish lived for only a short while after, considering.  
So, when I woke up to a kennel being placed at the foot of my bed and a tiny furball coming out of it to come towards my crying face, I didn't know how to feel.  I felt so many emotions: good and mourning.  I still missed Nightwish, and my mom let me know that if I wasn't ready, she would take care of "the kitten" until I was.
Mynx came up to my head and bumped it with hers.
I knew, then, that was it.  She was mine, and I was hers.
I thought she looked kind of lynx-like in my memory of lynx's at the time.  I also thought of the "playful minx" (?) and... when I called her that, she responded...
Two days before Mynx passed, my mom and sister, Sam, were talking about how our cats all "chose" us in a way.  Even if we brought them to us, they still chose each human.  We joked that while Mynx chose me, she also chose the family.  She bonded with all of us in unique ways.
For example: I could hold her in my arms (casually), longer and she would rest her head against my shoulder --- so long as no one saw her.  Then she had to growl and groan and push away in a How Dare You Hold Me, I Am A Queen That Can Take Care Of Herself... before, seconds later, running to the food bowl as if she was starving, "Feed me, please?"
I don't remember a lot of Mynx's early years.  I was struggling with a lot and yet, Mynx was always there.
She mourned when Majic passed.  There was a difference - she knew.
Mynx hated getting her claws trimmed, and she would growl and groan the entire time - fight to get away from me if I did it, and just struggle with Sam (who was better at it; more controlling and confident, where I was more scared of hurting her so I would easily have more problems, unfortunately of my own cause).  But, she would be quiet if you spoke to her mid-growl.  As if she was polite in her disapproval.  
I noticed a few years ago that her fangs in the front poked out a little.  I started thinking of her as my little vampire-cat, but only in side-thoughts of cuteness.
She also would forget to put her tongue back in her mouth.  Especially after cleaning.  And let me tell you: She made the most horrific sounds when she cleaned herself.  The loudest slurping you had ever heard!  I'll miss that.  I already do.
She loved chirping at a greeting - her entire body sitting up and her head bobbing as she made her greeting --- especially if she hadn't seen you in (her definition of) a while.  
She'd fall asleep near me, and suddenly forget where she was at when she woke up.  Her voice cracked, like she was still half-asleep, and chirping at me.
She was the softest cat I ever felt.  I teased her about her hair - she had this tiny mowhawk like thing along her spine that just never went down.  If you noticed it, that is.  
She would jump into my bed when I was getting ready for bed, and sleep beside me or on one of my pillows.  Sometimes only close enough for me to pet her until I fell asleep, other times just within range of a "I'm here, you're here, and that's all we need."
She loved sleeping on the chairs at the kitchen table -- it was, of course, the quickest way to get to the food bowl.
My mom started calling her "Mynxy" and I used to jokingly huff, "It's Mynx!"  Eventually I started calling her "Mynxy" as well.  Then I realized I didn't have a nickname for her.
My mom would call her "My little fluffer-nutter".  Mynx loved that.  She'd purr, and flop, and roll on her back for all the loving from my mom.
I teased Mynx, "My little fluff-butt!" sometimes "fwuff butt" because... baby talk with animals can't be helped.  If I got extremely playful with her, I'd just rhyme her name, "Mynxy-lynxy-bynxy-boo!"  She'd chirp, and purr at it, and run to her food dish, where I'd pat her (she was overweight, unfortunately) and call her my "little pudge pudge".
We're pretty sure she was the runt.  We're not sure how much Maine Coon she had in her -- vet called her Maine Coon and she had those fluffs in her ears and at her feet.  She never got to be as big as one, though.  Which, yanno, reinforces that maybe she was the runt.
I always felt like she was understanding me on some level - she would just look at you like she got it.  
Samantha and my mom used to tell her to "stare" as a "trick", because she loved doing it.  She would just... observe you.  Just... stare.  
She was acting more like a kitten again, the past year or two.  Running around even more lately with Fredday and Diamond.  Having a blast!
Unfortunately, her and Pepper never really got along.  Pestering and antagonizing each other.  Whoever started it, would not be who ended it.  They were terrible with each other on some days, tolerated each other enough to sleep on the same bed (Sam's) on other days.
I joked, "Pepper's probably celebrating," to try to make myself laugh -- which, of course, also made me cry.
I'm sure Pepper misses her as much as she can - I'm sure there was /something/ that she'll miss about her, haha.  
Fredday, I think, found Mynx.  I...feel like he was watching over her until I found her.  He just... watched me.  I think he understands.  He seems a little different (I'm aware cats do mourn for each other, and in their own unique ways) - a little more attached to me as if he's sensing my loneliness.
I... don't see a difference in Diamond?  
I'm "ok" with that, in a way.  It's sad, to not see them mourn in a certain way, but I also understand that they do things their own way... and I'm not sure how I would deal if they were heavily mourning in a more obvious way.  I think, in a way, their calmness helps.
There's a definite void now.  I miss her, a lot.
Every time I go into the kitchen, I miss her running up to the food bowl.  Her chirping at me in the hallway.  My telling her good-night when I'm off to bed, and her following me into my room.
She loved pretending like she wasn't following me when I called her - only moving when I had my back turned.
I miss it.
I miss her.
She was only 10.
I'll love her always.
RIP Mynx:
6/1/2009-8/8/2019

Part of my Bunny Boy Series: Drunk Confession, Lovesick Bunny Boy, Kittens and Uncle Kookie
masterlist
A/N: While I wrote this today, I’ve been sitting on the parents-meeting scenario for over a week now. Q_Q
It was a Wednesday evening when you and your sister had finally time to catch up with each other over the phone. After graduating college when you moved out of your home and out of your hometown to work at another city, it had been hard for you two to meet each other, or even talk to each other.
Not only are you at work from morning until late in the evening, but also is your sister a busy career-woman, housewife and mother:
Besides dealing with a part of your family’s business with her husband Patrik, she also had to take care of her own little family.
Her and her husband, who happens to be a lynx shifter as well, had blessed your family with two little children or kittens:
An 8-year-old shy-boy called Dorian and a 3-year-old energetic girl called Vivienne.
You love them dearly – always feeling the urge to keep an eye on them to protect them from this filthy and toxic world but the moment you moved away, it was impossible to do that.
Now trying to see them in person is hard enough as you only manage to visit your family once every month at best – Work and life keeping you busy at all times.
So, when your sister told you that her and your brother-in-law haven’t had a time for themselves in a long time due to your parents currently jet setting around the world to secure a huge business deal and hence, not being able to take care of those two little ones, you immediately suggested to look after them the upcoming weekend.
“Really, Y/N? You would do that?”, your sister exclaimed. “Of course, S/N. I haven’t seen Dori and Vivi for two months already due to work… And you and Pat are in need of some important hubby and wife time.”
“Thank you, Thank you, Y/N. We both really need a quick time-out. Work has been crazy…  I will tell Dori and Vivi tomorrow about it. They are going to be so excited since they have been dying to spend some time with their favourite auntie.”
Afterwards you and her talked about mundane things until she brought up Jungkook. “So, how are you guys doing?”
“Like always, busy with work. Especially Kook…  After he got promoted and became the head of his department, he seems quite stressed…”
Your sister was the only one in your family who knew about Jungkook.
She had met him accidentally, when she visited you on a Friday evening after securing a business deal in your city without telling you – she thought, she had but her mommy brain played a trick on her.
In the end, not only was your boyfriend surprised, when he saw a middle-aged woman dressed in an expensive business suit at the door instead of a delivery guy but also was your sister.
She expected you, her younger sister, opening the door with messy hair in your favourite pink hello kitty pyjamas and definitely not a tall, handsome black-haired male wearing a white t-shirt and grey sweatpants.
So, after an awkward introductory session, your sister and Jungkook quickly warmed up to each other with beer and fried chicken (vegan version with tofu for your boyfriend)
That night you were glad that your sister treated him kindly – not like you expected anything different, but it still made you and in particular Jungkook happy that one family member of yours doesn’t give a damn about his race at all.
Saturday has finally arrived.
Jungkook and you are currently sitting at your dinner table, eating breakfast while talking about your previous work week, when you hear a loud familiar voice screeching through the apartment hallway.
“Babe, they are here.”, you excitedly exclaim. “A-Already… Oh god, I’m nervous. I have never looked after kids before.” His doe-eyes quivering, while doubts and worries are already polluting his mind. 
“Don’t worry, Kook. Like I told you before Dori is easy to handle, but Vivi… She’s a bit wild but I know you will do amazing, Babe.”
Before you can give him any more encouraging words, your doorbell is already ringing.
“I’m coming, guys.” You quickly walk over to your door.
The moment you unlock the door and open it, you are jumped by a tiny lynx which you immediately recognize as your niece. Even though her sneak attack surprises you a little bit, you are able to catch her quickly enough and secure in your arms before you are stroking her head as well as caressing her pointed ears.
“Hello Auntie.”, your nephew Dori gives you a small wave. “Vivi was so excited to see you that she shifted.” He points at the goldish lynx kitten in your arms, who is currently giving purring sounds while also snuggling into your chest.
As you can’t seem to see or sense your sister and brother in-law you question your nephew, while helping him with your free hand in taking off his backpack and jacket “Where are your parents, Dori?”
“They should be here soon. When we went into the building Dad remembered to bring our suitcases and Mom decided to help him. You and your nephew giggle at their forgetfulness, when suddenly your now-human niece sees something or rather someone behind her.
“Who’s that auntie?” The curious girl points at your boyfriend who’s currently standing helplessly in the hallway.
“Oh, I nearly forgot.”, You sheepishly smile at your boyfriend, who in return winks at you.
“There’s someone I would like to introduce to you.”, you utter before you get interrupted by two adults who are seemingly out of breath.
“Oh god, why is your elevator broken, when we have to carry these two big suitcases up to the fourth floor.”, your sister grumbles tiredly.
“Oh god, they are just gone for two days. Honey, what did you pack?”, your brother-in-law looks at his wife confused.
“Perfect Timing, you two. I was just about to introduce them to Kook. And since you haven’t met him yet, Pat. You are happy to join our introductory session.” Your sister and brother-in-law immediately straighten up and walk over to you.
“So that’s Jungkook, my boyfriend.” You point at the flustered male in front of you five, who cracks a small smile.
“That is my family. The little fluffball in my arms is Vivienne, this short-guy with the Minecraft shirt is Dorian and that’s my brother-in-law Patrik”
While your nephew feels slightly annoyed by you calling him short, he still greets your boyfriend but Vivi.. she seems too shy to greet him yet, so she decides on just watching Jungkook’s every move – a well-known habit of feline shifters, when something or someone catches their eyes.
“…and this old hag, you’ve already met”, you say in a jokingly manner, making everyone laugh at your childish remark.
“Hey, you are lucky, you are currently holding my baby or I would have kicked your bum already.”, your sister sends you a light-hearted glare, kicking the air for demonstration purposes, earning her a round of laughter for her ridiculousness.
“Hello, nice to meet you all.” Jungkook greets your family before he slowly approaches them, waving at the kids followed by a handshake with your brother-in-law before getting hugged by your sister.
A few minutes later the married couple has already bid their goodbyes, wishing you four a fun day as well as giving their children a kiss before they vanished.
“Mhm, your parents are gone now. What do you both feel like doing?” You look at your nephew and niece who’s now standing on the floor instead of being held by you. You only get a response from your nephew, who just shrugs, while your niece has her eyes still trained on Jungkook, who seems to now realize that he has a sharp little observer.
He gives you a confused look, but you decide to respond to him by imitating the shrug off your nephew before you decide to let your boyfriend deal with her alone – mouthing the words “bonding time”.
“Dori, would you like to help me bring the suitcases and your both’s backpacks into the guestroom?... We should also unpack them. “Yes, of course, Auntie.”, the tiny-man agrees before you both leave the odd pair, your unusual quiet niece and your helpless boyfriend alone in the living room.
You know, your niece will warm up, when you aren’t around to baby her. She has always been pretty independent but will use every opportunity to get pampered. Smart and cunning – the definition of a lynx.
After half an hour of you and your nephew unpacking his and his little sister’s suitcase as well as him telling you about school and his favourite game Minecraft. You slightly wonder, what your boyfriend and your niece have been doing since you can’t hear make out any speficic noises.
Hence, why you decide to check up on them quickly, suggesting your nephew to come with you. But Dori declines as he has just discovered his Nintendo Switch in his suitcase and now is s already laying on the bed busy playing with the device.
The moment you step into the living room, you hear soft giggles coming from the kitchen. What you see there is such a heart-rendering scene:
Jungkook happily pretending the yoghurt he’s feeding the 3-year-old-girl on a spoon, is an airplane making her giggle as a result, especially whenever she closes her mouth for a second before opening up, so the young-male can feed her.
“Hey, you two. Having fun?”, you ask them softly. Jungkook’s eyes widen, when he hears your voice, slightly embarrassed by his silly actions. “Oh, hey Babe. Vivi was hungry, so I decided to feed her some yoghurt.” A small whine interrupts your two’s conversation. “Uncle, Uncle Kookie. Don’t stop. Vivi is still hungry.” The little girl points at her belly and then at her mouth. “Sorry, Vivi.”, Jungkook he gives you a quick apologetic glance before continuing his silly actions.
You decide that they are fine without you, so you go back to the guestroom where your nephew is to finish unpacking. Your sister had really packed too much stuff. There were at least four board games, two barbies, two video games and 2 stuffed animals in the two suitcases.
“Finally, done.”, you exclaim before you look at your nephew, who’s still playing with his Nintendo Switch “Dori, are you hungry?” Dori quickly puts his device away and nods. “Then let’s go into the kitchen an get you something to eat and might as well see what Vivi and Jungkook are up to.”
When you both enter the living room, you see your boyfriend hiding behind a door, telling you to not give him away the moment your eyes meet each other, whilst your little niece roams around your apartment trying to find the said-male. (Even though your niece is a lynx shifter, her senses weren’t that developed yet to smell Jungkook’s scent) Your nephew snickers at the hilarious scene before trotting to the kitchen with you following behind him.
As you and your nephew sit down on the dinner table to eat a piece of fruit, you hear a loud squeal “Got you, Uncle Kookie.” followed by a deep chuckle “You are too good at this, Vivi… Let us take a quick break and then we can ask your aunt and brother to join us.”
You can hear a loud ”Yeeees, it will be soo much with Auntie and Dori!” before quick steps are already making their way to you.
Your niece immediately jumps in your lap, asking you and her brother to join them, which you both agree but only after you ate your snack.
While your niece chats with her brother, swooning over “Uncle Kookie”. A seemingly tired Jungkook plobs himself onto the chair beside you. , leaning his head onto your shoulder. “Hey, again.”, he murmurs. “Hey Uncle Kookie”, you say teasingly. Jungkook chuckles softly, slightly embarrassed by your remark and then decides to bite you as a punishment. You let out a soft whine before he leans his head onto your shoulder.
Out of habit, you stroke his hair with your free hand, feeling some sweat on his forehead. “Tired?”, you ask. Your boyfriend only hums, slowly relaxing under your palm.
After many hours of you four playing hide and seek, tag and a few board games, it is finally dinner time, so you decide to get to a nearby restaurant for food.
While you are holding your nephew’s hand, your boyfriend carries Vivi – to her request – in his arms.
Nearly all the woman you pass by swoon at the sight of your boyfriend.
While your human side feels proud for snatching up such a fine specimen, your possessive lynx side would have loved to growl at them. Of course, you don’t let your animal side take over but you can at least have those thoughts.
Yeah, I know that my boyfriend’s appearance literally screams husband material but ladies he’s mine.
You aren’t even surprised by your oblivious boyfriend, who hasn’t realized his current effect on the other gender yet.
After you all filled your stomach with lots of delicious food, you pass by a supermarket to get some ice cream as dessert.
As you stand by the ice cream section, whilst Jungkook and the two kids are at the toy section, an older woman approaches you.
“You have a cute family”, she points at the three.
“Mhm? Oh, No, no.”, you immediately wave your hands at her comment.
“They are my sister’s children but yeah the clumsy guy over there, who just nearly knocked over a shelf, is my boyfriend.”, you chuckle.
“Oh, I’m sorry, dear but you guys seemed like a really cute family.”, she apologizes looking at you before looking back at the troupe over there.
“You should hold him close, dear. He definitely is a keeper.”, she states, giving you a wink as well.
A small blush creeping on you cheeks “Yeah, definitely”. When the old lady and you look at your boyfriend’s childish antics as he runs after the two little kids with a spongebob mask on, you both start laughing
Finally, sitting in bed with your comfy pyjamas on, you are waiting for Jungkook to join you. After the eventful day all you want to do is sleep in your boyfriend’s arms.
Once you all got got home, Jungkook and Dori decided to play a little Minecraft while Vivi and you played with her dolls.
Afterwards you made them ready for bed before reading them a good-night story – you as the narrator and Jungkook as the versatile actor. Soon after your small play, they two fell asleep.
“Wow, I’m so dead, Y/N.”, Jungkook yawns, slipping under the covers. As you turn to look at your boyfriend, he has already closed his eyes.
“It doesn’t surprise me at all, Kook. You were entertaining them, especially Vivi, nearly the whole day.”
“Mhm, she’s quite an energetic toddler.”, a tired chuckle escapes the male before he’s already fast-asleep.
“Thank you, Uncle Kookie”, you whisper, giving him a kiss on his forehead before turning off the light to sleep too – since you too, got drained by those two lovely rascals.

Fresh Muse List
In case you guys were curious about my characters I have a big old list:
Egos:
Anti   (Usually the softer kind, has green emerald glowings eyes which turn staticy blue when hes vulnerable/being open/himself. He can be an asshole though and does in deed take out bad guys with his knife.)
Jameson Jackson  (Mute but does actually still have a voice- his vocals are in ruins and he's kinda dealing with poor eating making him dangerously skinny. He works as a bartender and has silver tipped brown hair that's a little bit longer than the others.)
Crank  (Robot Ethan ego. He’s an utter mess- eyes sometimes fizzle out, joints stiff, has emotional issues. He also has a corrupted voice in his head that is real nasty when he pops up and sometimes takes over their shared frame.)
Blank  (Fricking soft boy, his aura is hard to control and sometimes controls him. He has a rare heart issues which makes him prone to fainting and collpasing without much warning.  Still, he tries.) 
Jackieboyman   (Super hero boy! Super buff, caring, kind, and tol.  Lilac/Gold eyes. Little odd strip of red in his brown hair. The best voice.  Works as a gas station worker to hide his identity (he looks great in the blue button up and glasses.) He.’s ftm trans. Sometimes I HC him as a phionex other times he has pretty golden whips of light.)
