Chat Noir as the Ultimate Catgirl (Genderneutral)!
If you are as invested in the cat girl drama on tumblr dot com as I am, I am sure you are familiar with @catgirlgames ultimate catgirl tournament. As a Chat Noir truther, I wanted to put in my two cents as to why you all should vote for Chat in the finals of this tournament (against Hello Kitty of all catgirls).
My first series of points are all to do with how cat-like this fruity boy inherently is and chooses to be when in his black spandex.
1- The Purring
Yes, he legitimately did not realize he began to purr in this scene- his cat magic grants him the charming and not at all awkward ability to involuntarily purr
2- The Scritches
This boy not only enjoys chin scratches but openly seeks them out... one step further toward him being a domestic housecat tamed by one particular spotted bug
3- The Ears
A slightly unsettling but utterly damning fact about how committed he is to the cat bit is that his cute kitty kitty meow meow ears take the place of his human ears when he is transformed. They move on their own and lead directly to his ear canal... Yeah, I try not to dwell on this one too much.
4- The Behavior
It's the butt wiggle and pounce for me. (Although technically he was under the influence of an Akuma here, I can't dispute this piece of evidence to further damn him for being a dramatic cat boy)
5- Another Cliche
Another great staple for his undeniably cat-related tropes- him being a scaredy cat. (Once again due to an Akuma, but I just love that this piece of animation exists for me to ponder where the line between catboy and boy cat lies exactly)
Other Reasons To Love This Iconic Black Cat
If you're still not convinced that he is the greatest and most iconic cat girl (genderneutral) hear me out-
He (alongside his beetle counterpart) has elemental-themed transformation upgrades that are sick as fuck.
Cmon, look at Astrochat!! Hello!!!!
He is a beloved hero but also Paris's most fearsome enemy in another timeline- one of the most swag Akuma designs and chilling dichotomies to the friendly, pun-loving cat we know and love.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk! Don't forget to vote Chat!
"my 'self-proclaimed Ultimate Life Form' RP character who does the Hellsing restraint-levels thing is involved in building a self-repairing destructible city for use as a kaiju playground/urban setting where people can just wreck stuff IC without worrying about hurting or inconveniencing anyone" hits differently from "my high-strung sleep-deprived catgirl RP character who constantly cosplays as a maid is building a destructible city etc"
I told my Sanrio coworker about the ultimate catgirl (gender neutral) poll. And she looked me dead in the eyes and said “I know, I’ve been campaigning”. I know your here coworker. I know what you are.
in which diona sneaks into the dawn winery in an attempt to sabotage, and diluc foils her plans by being nice
“Well, well, if it isn’t Little Miss Diona from The Cat’s Tail.”
Diona pounces from the barrel and flips onto the ground. Heart in her throat and bow in her hands, she breathes hard as she steadies her feet. She looks up, and finds, standing at the door to the cellar, a man in a black coat and hair as red as fire.
She hisses, “Diluc.”
Diluc steps across the threshold. His posture is elegant and proper, and his expression mild - as expected of a renowned businessman. How infuriating. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you,” he says kindly. “I’ve heard lots.”
He walks towards her, and Diona finds herself backing away. Until her back hits another barrel, and Diluc slowly holds out his hand.
Diona swallows. Her eyes dart to his outreached hand, then to the arm that snakes behind his back. She can’t see a weapon, but…
She hugs her bow closer to her chest while she reluctantly shakes his hand. She might hate it, but her daddy always taught her manners.
Diluc takes a step away when he draws back his hand. And Diona asks, “How did you know my name?”
Diluc hums. “Well, some of my patrons at the Angel’s Share like to enjoy the occasional drink from The Cat’s Tail too. And they have much to say about the talents of their youngest bartender, especially relating to her one-of-a-kind cocktails.”
Diona grumbles. Talents, they say. She’d much rather they hate her drinks so much that they never touch alcohol again. Ugh, so much for that.
“Would you like to stay for dinner?” asks Diluc. “I was just about to head home after checking on some things here, but I’m sure Adelinde wouldn’t mind a last-minute guest.”
Diona reels, scowling at him as if he’d just slapped her. “Dinner? With you?!” She scoffs, crossing her arms. “Why would I ever–”
Her stomach roars.
It’s an uncomfortable sound, squelchy, and Diona is sure that Diluc heard it too. Her cheeks burn with humiliation.
“You must be hungry from the long journey from Mondstadt,” he says. A note of amusement colours his voice as he steps aside. “Come now, I’ll show you the way to the dining room.”
im like, 75% thru the game and i still havent remastered my candevil tape 😭 im so indecisive and its led me to have the poor thing be pm useless to me now.
i got the Shining Kuneko tape, so thats pm who i use now. My strat rn is to have Custom Starter activate Sharp Edges, spend a turn using Smack to get more AP + the contact damage, then use Double Slice +1. It gets me 4-5 hits per turn. And for the fights where thats somehow not good enough, I just spam Glactic Beatdown. Insanely good monster. The fusion power moves w Kuneko are crazy too. The Momento Mori fight was the fastest archangel ive beaten bc Felix and I just kept spamming the fusion move and it did bonkers damage. constant orbital strikes. obliterated that skeleton.
