#cats #outing myself once again as someone whos not attune whatsoever to human culture but - in all honesty I do not know #what 'psspsspss' means despite loving cats my entire life hghj.. I've just seen people online describe that as how you call a cat #but I have never in my life witnessed someone call a cat by making that noise or made that noise myself. I can't even think of an example o #it so I genuinely don't even know what that's supposed to be but. Included because I've seen it so much it must be something to someone #even when I was a kid I pretty much always just meowed to cats and tried to sound exactly like them or whatever meow I associated with them #obviously not literally saying “ME OW” but doing an actual cat meow. often times a kind of 'prrrow' sort of noise where you trill your tong #ue then lead into a softer vocal tone .. maybe like 'mrrrrauh' or something? Or sometimes just a trilling chirp immitating the #cat's ''mrrrrp'' they do sometimes. I used to mimic small kittens to get the attention of cats #with their like very high pitches squeky whine with a little bit of air out the nostrils at the end to imitate the sound of them having #tiny lungs that don't hold much air so with a long loud 'mew' it's sometimes a little strained near the end #Though usually I just imitate the cat that I'm around at the time. Sometimes I have done kind of a combination kissy lip sort of noise #tongue clicking. almost like tapping on the back of your front teeth with your tongue and sucking in. almost makes kind of a squirrel noise #ANYWAY... curiouse....

Ok, this is mostly bc I realized we've only seen Sally being passive, but how is she able to hypothetically rip apart larger puppets limb from limb? (if the captions with Howdy hold water with other puppets)

(Slight Mutilation Warning Ahead: Puppet Edition)

they absolutely hold So Much water! it's a combination of a couple things!

a) Nightlight!Sally is really Strong. i'd liken to her to a chimp, as much as i hate them. despite being smaller than people, they're absurdly powerful. when it comes to Her, this comes from a mix of hysterical strength and something Else i've been pondering but don't want to solidify yet, so shh dont worry bout it. it's also much easier to tear fleece & cotton/stuffing than, uh, Biological materials.

b) none of the puppets are really prepared for violence? they've lived in an idyllic world where true, visceral violence likely hasn't even been a Thought in anyone's minds. like, you watch videos of people get attacked by like... raccoons or rats and they visibly Lose because they panic! they aren't prepared! they don't wanna fight! so the much smaller creature wins. They Don't Know How To Fight, Or Fight Back.

b.1) also, Nightlight!Sally is still... Sally. she's still their dear friend. i know that if a close friend attacked me, i'm not sure i'd be able to bring myself to do much other than defend/flee. i wouldn't wanna hurt them even if it meant protecting myself. hence why Wally avoids all confrontation with her & can't protect his friends from her. he can't hurt his neighbor.

b.2) there's also the shock factor. imagine you wake up from a pleasant dream to an absolute nightmare reality. Boom, automatically thrown way off your rhythm. then one of your close buddies looks Fuckin Weird, Are You Okay? and other crazy shit is happening! you're freaking out!! then your Close Friend Who's Off is suddenly slashing at you and BOOM, your arm's gone & your entire brain is scrambled from shock and fear and "?!?!?!?!?!". plus, i doubt the puppets know they're full of stuffing. seeing yourself sliced open and white fluff spilling out has gotta be just. so Unpleasant on principle.

c):

CLAWS BABEY! RIP TEAR AND SHRED! those sharp grippers are perfect for piercing and ripping! puppet fleece is Paper to her!

her fighting method is attack wildly until the threat stops making noise! it's very hard to defend oneself from it! imagine those cartoon bits where a cat attacks someone and its just a Flurry of Unbeatable Violence

#if it helps. barnaby goes back to sleepytown immediately after this #so he's safe. as safe as he can be. #i would Also like to note that to My Interpretation/Understanding the puppets can't feel actual pain #i believe this for several reasons! #but for this au specifically im gonna make that a thing for Different Reasons on top of the Main Reasons #anyway anyway #the barnaby-sally attack in my head happens Directly after he tries to help her #its already a chaotic scene but he thinks theres something wrong with her for Obvious Reasons #and runs to her to try and snap her out of her apparent daze #and then WHAM arms gone. barely gets a chance to process #meanwhile wally is hiding curled into a little ball with his hands over his ears #bc he Cant Help and he Doesnt Want To Listen #if this makes you sad! oops! sorry! i have a softer scribble queued up for later today if that makes up for it #wh lights out au #scribble salad #i am Also taking into consideration clown's post about the neighbors playing splatoon. iykyk <3 #alright its 6 am im going to sleep #meant to pass out Hours ago but that didnt happen! #ah fuck wait cant sleep yet starships just started playing. ninki minjaj...

*clears throat* HIGH HUMANITY P FINALLY BEING ABLE TO EAT AND SHARING ALL KINDS OF WONDERFUL TREATS WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god Bloodbrown you are reading my mind ahhhh!!

I bet he would love baking so much, and he takes it so seriously when you tell him the best kind of treats are the ones made with love! I actually have a plot bunny about teaching P how to bake and cook floating around in my notes that I’m excited to get some time to work on.

Okay okay!

The growl of a stomach and the pang of hunger had initially concerned P, who tugged on your sleeve urgently. As you turned to face him his stomach rumbled again, you laughed at his mounting concern and explained that it sounded like he was hungry.

“You know, like how when I wake up I always have something to eat? Like that.” You soothed, the worry lines in his brow settling. 

This was something normal, something human. 

He was now very excited about the prospect of a new human thing he’d be able to try, and eating was something he’d been longing to do, watching you eat tended to be awkward and everything you made looked so appetising.

“I think I have something in the pantry you’ll really like.” You beamed, dragging him into the hotel’s kitchen.

You swung open the pantry doors and rummaged a bit, P looked over your shoulder curiously. The pantry wasn’t filled to the brim but what was in there he wasn’t familiar with at all, tins, cartons and baskets full of food and ingredients he didn’t know the name of.

“Ah hah!” You cheered, pulling a white, metal box from the pantry. “I promise you’ll love these!”

You popped off the lid and inside where multiple yellow discs with brown pieces scattered throughout them, he tilted his head and you waved the box in front of him,

“Try one! They’re homemade.” You coaxed, not that he would take much convincing when it came to you.

“Home… made?” He took a disc, the paper surrounding them crinkling, you also took one for yourself before placing the box on the countertop beside you. 

“It means it was made in the home, I made these ones myself. Some people believe the best kind of food is made with love, which you get plenty of in homemade cooking!” You explained, his eyes widened owlishly, throughly impressed once again by your abilities and your knowledge. You’d said before that they weren’t exactly difficult skills to pick up but he didn’t know how to make a… wait what is this thing?

“What… is it?” He questioned, turning the disc over in his hands. 

“It’s a chocolate chip cookie.” It was solid in his hand but the surface had a bounce to it, he brought it up to his mouth and was even more eager to try it now that he could smell it. 

You watched his reaction closely as he bit into the treat, any hesitance was quickly replaced with pure joy as he rushed to finish the rest of the cookie. 

“You like it?” You asked, and you got an enthusiastic nod in response, a giggle bubbling up from P’s throat boyishly. “Would you like another?”

“Yes!” He beamed, you held the box back out to him and he took another cookie for himself but stopped short when he noticed that you hadn’t done the same.

He frowned, looked at the cookie and then back at you before splitting the treat down the middle and offering one half to you. “Love should… be shared.”

You couldn’t agree more.

#hey it’s bloodbrown #fairy is answering #lies of p #lies of p x reader #pinocchio x reader #added the read more cause I got a little carried away whoops #he would love chocolate so so much I just know it #trying out a thing with P's dialogue - probably something that would work better with low humanity rather than high humanity #but i think him struggling to string his sentences together because he's not used to speaking so much is kind of sweet #makes him even softer spoken in my mind #also also on the note of the baking/cooking plot bunny #P is totally an eats all the ingredients guy #and yes he definitely did make the mistake of trying vanilla extract and cocoa powder after being told he wouldn't like them raw #also he makes a mess of everything but we love him for it #🦋 let your conscience be your guide #nov 2023

Couple of boyfriends have a little chat

"This one's taken a real shining to you eh"

"Why are you talking like that??"

"What do you mean? I always talk like this"

"Whatever you say Etho, anyways shush you'll wake him up"

"Oh but when I'm tired you don't let me lie on your lap and stroke my hair"

"Pfft, are you really being jealous right now"

"I've barely seen you two apart this session, is he blackmailing you? or wait- are you blackmailing him?"

"Rude! it's nothing like that!"

"Oh?"

"...I promised I'd give him the world"

".........why?"

"it's different... I guess... softer... less pressure when he's around"

"Ouch Is that a dig on me?"

"You know that's not what I meant... Now that there's not much fear of immediate death this time around, we've just been talking y'know, just hanging out..."

"He followed me around the whole time last session! He's super suspicious!"

"I think that's just because you're paranoid Etho"

"Wha- paranoid? me? Bdubs you know I'm no-"

"Could also be because you're wary of how much he looks up to you, because you think you don't deserve it."

"..."

"It's funny, at the second session where he needed to be your best friend for a time? He was so nervous but also so excited. He asked me to show him where you were and he was buzzing the whole way.

That's when I knew that his task had something to do with you y'know, because he never would've approached you so boldly otherwise"

"Now you're just making me feel bad"

"He looks up to you Etho, with good reason too, you can't really deny that... and maybe you should feel bad when you left him with Lizzie."

"...aw did he tell on me?"

"No... but I could tell"

"..."

"..."

"I can't believe my boyfriend is hanging out with another man, I'm telling Cleo"

"wha- HEY!"

[petr1kov]

the language that is commonly used when you search up any make-up and hair (or just general beauty) tip is so weird and off-putting to me that i almost can't believe how widespread and normalized it is. i mean, i don't doubt that some looks suit some features better than others, but this simple concept is almost always presented as being a correction to some perceived imperfection. it's not '(x) would look good on people with (y) features', it's '(x) will help you conceal the ugliness inherent to (y) feature', as though there is a platonic ideal of a face that we're all trying to replicate and fake our way into looking like

#it's always casually dropped too like it will make your face look more oval or your nose smaller or your jaw softer #as though that's something that people want necessarily? as though they're ashamed of it? #no wonder this stuff fucks up little girls. it teaches them that if they weren't ashamed about it then they should start being

Okay Dean “You know I am not much for prayin’ ‘cause in my book it’s the same as beggin’” and “I prayed to you, Cas, every night” Winchester, I see you.

#destiel #deancas #dean winchester #supernatural #just thinking my little thoughts #don’t look at me I’m having a moment #something something no greater devotion than that to his brother who he’s praying for in the former yet this implies #the same love and desperation fueling that must apply to Cas too #do y'all see what I'm saying? does the connection make sense? #especially s8 going forward Dean often takes the cake for toxicity I’m sorry it’s just true. HOWEVER. we need to talk about the softness #that man shows to Cas in this season specifically. #for ex: after Cas sternly shuts him down in 8x08 he doesn't get defensive and snap back like Dean often does #he goes over and sits on the bed across from cas and softly says 'talk to me.' like i'm sorry? has dean ever said that?? #not that i recall. usually it's smthg like 'are you ok? no? that's rough buddy. shove it down.' bc that's what he was taught #and mid-end of the prior season though his ‘don’t tell Cas the truth’ plan was not great it was pretty clear imo how deeply happy he was #just to have cas back. broken or not he’d rather have him. . #I don't know exactly what I'm trying to say that's why we're in the tags but it's just something about how Cas deeply betrayed them and we #know how intensely Dean can hold a grudge yet when they get Cas back Dean's softer with him than he ever was before. #and then searches monster land high and low for him even after Cas abandons him #and connecting the former and latter quotes up there it's pretty clear how deep that devotion runs #(platonically or romantically. to each their own reading. and not always healthily.) #because he's as well as admitted he begged for Cas in purgatory. every. night. #Dean 'I don't pray bc i don't beg and I'm not weak' #Dean 'I would do anything for sam so i'll beg for help' #Dean 'I prayed to you. I killed my way to you. did you hear my prayers?' #it's just really somethin'. #I have to wonder if Cas knows how big that is. He must right? #(for my own tags) #dean #spn s8

Headcanon:

So with Astarion living off of blood for a ridiculously long amount of time, I like to think he'd end up pretty sensitive to taste and/or texture if he ever ended up cured.

Maybe not permanently, but he'd probably have to work himself up to really strong/complicated flavors or end up needing to experiment with food a little. Start with small stuff like simple broths, a couple of lightly seasoned meats/breads/veggies/sweets on their own to get used to each thing's individual flavor before trying to combine foods/flavors into some overwhelming chaos of everything at once. I'm not sure how he would do around strong/smelly cheeses, but he'd probably be okay with them since vampire smelling didn't lead to suffering.

Granted, the opposite may also be true because taste and smell are closely linked and he could still smell. The main idea is that taste and smell also differ

#astarion #bg3 #spoilers #headcanon #like imagine introducing someone who spent their entire lives eating only plain toast to other things #the richness and amount of flavor in somethings could definitely be a little too much for them to handle at times #like me and spices #i'm irish and the bland food stereotype is true #and I like the taste of jalapeños but I'm always stuck sitting there crying and chugging a drink but it is tasty #and what do you mean most of my friends can eat medium salsa no problem?????? #point is yall are missing out on this idea #let him experiment a little #not trying to start fights #i just toss out ideas that come to me because others might like the same ideas #personally I think he'd particularly be interested in softer meats and the variety of drinks in the beginning #but may eventually come to accept things like raw carrots #because wtf kind of texture is that? wet and crunchy is such a weird texture and you cannot convince me otherwise #i wonder what sort of preferences he would have #like would he stick with things similar to what he is used to like only partially cooked meat #or would he end up preferring other things since he wasn't able to enjoy them for 200 years #just totally ignoring any sort of texture or flavor that reminds him of his time as a vampire #i mean we definitely know he will still have some expensive tastes but after what he has been hrough he'd probably be satisfied with whateve #as long as he wasn't starving #i mean he would probably have some overindulgence issues with everything vampirism deprived him of at first #he'd sunbathe nude for an entire day to maximize the amount of sun he could enjoy and then bitch about getting sunburned later #point is he may want to jump into things right away but sensory wise it would probably be an absolute nightmare for someone not used to #maybe he will want a bite of whatever any of his companions are eating #giving a new meaning to the existing idea that the party gives him snacks #since he isn't drinking from yall anymore #food

Group Nap/Mini Very End of S2 Fix It below the cut

(thank u to @sherlockig for the help in finishing this! ❤️)

“I'm just…tired,” Ed flops beside Izzy on the deck. “How's it feeling?”

“Terrible,” Izzy’s fingers lightly trail over the bandages covering his side.“But I could be dead, so…could be worse.”

“Is there room for another?” Roach drops by his other side. “I need like, five minutes at most. To rest my eyes.”

“Mhm, that's how it starts,” Ed yawns as he turns to snuggle into Izzy. “I'm only resting my eyes. Five minutes, no more.”

“I'm not against group nap,” Stede settles in by Ed. “Oh, the ship though…”

“Buttons has got it,” Frenchie points to the helm as he wedges himself into Roach's other side, with Wee John following him. “Maybe we all lay down for a little bit-”

“Only five minutes,” Roach chuckles softly. His eyes are closed, and if it weren't for his talking and nuzzling closer, Izzy would think he was already out.

“Normally, I wouldn't trust a bird to navigate or steer or do anything that should require hands,” Izzy can hear Zheng, though the pile of exhausted crew has grown to the point that he's not sure exactly who she's laying by. “But it's been such a weird fucking few weeks so…why not?”

Izzy leans his head up to peer at the helm, and sure enough, there sits a gull on the ship's wheel, occasionally walking one direction or the other. The wheel moves under its webbed feet.

And they are, in fact, adrift and seemingly not about to crash or run aground.

“You’re not going anywhere right now,” Ed mumbles into Izzy's neck. “You need rest. Right, Roach, that's what he needs?”

Roach lifts a hand, thumbs up, only for it to flop down to his side a second later.

He can't stop himself from giggling, and it makes the bullet wound ache.

“Shhh,” Ed's arm gently settles over him. “We're gonna have a nap. Then, we're gonna have a wedding-”

“We can talk about it later,” Lucius' half-asleep-sounding voice interrupts. “Go the fuck to sleep.”

“A wedding, and we're gonna check out the inn I bought,” Ed continues.

“You did what?” Stede sits half up.

“He's got decent taste in property,” Izzy reaches across Ed, ignoring the pain in his side to do so, and taps Stede to lay back down. “So long as it wasn't described as a fixer upper or something. We've only had to buy one ship in our time together, and that one was…well. We made it work.”

“Ah,” Stede smiles in relief, and settles back down beside Ed. “In that case, thank you for the proactive purchasing.”

“I mean, they did call it that,” Ed says as he pulls Stede's hand and arm over his waist. “But it has potential, and most of the roof. What more do you need in life?”

“For people to shut the fuck up, so I can sleep after nearly dying and before my wedding!” Pete's voice rings shrilly out over the deck. “...sorry. I'm just. I'm tired. I'm sorry, everyone.”

Murmurs of agreement go up in the seconds after before it falls silent again.

And with one last look to Buttons (or if not actually Buttons, then an alarmingly talented sea gull), he lets his eyes shut.

redraw of this from four years ago (wow!)

#original #wthi #yunvei #cant believe it's been four years. good lord #anyway drawing this was such an interesting process! i surprised myself with a lot of my decisions #ie initially the color palette was going to be closer to the original but i instinctively was like hmm that doesnt feel right #because several years ago he was a far far edgier character whereas now hes really just.. some guy #softer colors suit him far better than more aggressive ones #there was also stuff with the hand placement in this one. hes not actively covering his face this time.. grammas doing it #something something he is no longer self sabotaging in the same way that he used to be #i could go on with more little things in this but lol i feel like im rambling #hope youve all been doing well! sorry for the lack of art. art school killed my ability to draw for myself #im trying to find it again and i THINK i might be on track
