#wow you really are a cat....

[floorpancakes]

this isn't something i noticed for a while cause im a dumbass but i enjoy that watanuki isnt just heavily implied to be a cat but a specific type of cat

he has that specific gold/blue odd eye colouration that's really common in white cats due to specific genes...i used to think the colours were just neat but it's funny that even taking doumekis eye makes him MORE cat coded. doesn't get any more kitty than this

#i read up a little about it and its mostly in white cats or cats w white spotting apparently! #yes just like the cat from that one meme #a cat w heterophobia in its eyes .... #yes i did make a version of that icr wgere it is lol #xxxholic #also apparently it can sometimes cause deafness in kitties? #knew white cats and dogs tend to be deafness prone but i didnt realise it was connected to eye related stuff too sometimes #well the more u know #i used to imagine watanuki would be specifically a black cat and apparently they can have eyes like that #but taking official art into account and stuff i feel like hes more likely to be an all white kitty or a black and white spotty one #imagine the eye arc wraps up and watanuki turns to doumeki and the guy is just like #wow you really are a cat.... #and he thwacks him over the head with a lunchbox #forgot we can colour text now #too much power

[ID adapted from alt: Two panels (the first is on the left) from the Natsume's Book of Friends manga in which Natori uses the phrase "clowder of cats". The first is from chapter 101 and he's saying to Matoba, Natsume, and Nyanko-sensei, "So Ban is aware of the clowder of cats that Natsume saw." The second is from chapter 102 and he, Natsume, and sensei are looking at a dozen or so ceramic lucky cats surrounding a man passed out on the floor. Natori says, "Wow, this is a real 'clowder' of cats..." /end ID]

ugh gretchen stop trying to make clowder happen, it's not going to happen 🙄

#i had to look this up. i've been reading english for three decades and i s2g i never saw this word before #apparently it's a collective noun for a group of cats. like a pride of lions‚ a murder of crows‚ a clowder of cats #if you say so gretchen... #i love that he says it like a normal word the first time but he must have gotten some weird looks because he's quote unquoting it #the second time #wow this is a real [pause] CLOWDER of cats... #<-said no one ever you big weirdo #i have to wonder though if this is just a totally normal word in japanese and it's an artefact of translation #because we don't really have a collective noun for cats in wide use in english... #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #kittehs #fun with words #my posts #natori shuuichi #homura cats arc

Fandom question: do you know characters that have an established version of them as an animal/with animal attributes, or an animal they're associated with? Does that version of them have a name?

To clarify, I mean things like how you'd often see Sherlock as a cat/with cat ears, or how Obi-Wan is regularly drawn with bunny attributes, and this version of him is often called Bunny-Wan. This doesn't need to be the only animal people associate them with, but it should be a common enough concept that most people in the fandom would recognise the phenomenon.

If you have examples, please tell me! Replies, tags, reblogs, you can send me an ask, I just want to hear about your blorbo with animal ears.

#fandom #fandom culture #fanfic #i uh. don't know what else to tag this post to reach people #right now off the top of my head i have bunny-wan nyanakin lokitty and the (as far as i know) nameless cat-sherlock #really i'll take anything #especially if they have a name or if they're not a cat #i mean i also want to hear about nameless ones and cats of course #but. if they're named... if they're something more exotic than a cat.... please i'm begging you #wow i have a ramble tag now

[skrs-cats]

have you read the lion blaze self harm scene? kinda sh ig he basically lets …ratscar i think like scratch him up bad by holding his powers back. interesting to me what’re ur thoughts? (idk if that’s the right definition, i’ve always defined it as having someone/yourself injure your body with the intent to hurt) sorry if this is a downer, i just know your a lion blaze enthusiast and wanted to know your thoughts

ohhh yes i do actually. its one of the few scenes i remember better bc i actually own the book where it happened.

to elaborate on the scene more, it happens after he has an argument with cinderheart, who claims they shouldnt be together since he's part of the prophecy, how his destiny is to save the clans (and coincidentally not get hurt) and them being mates would only be distractions

lion's rebuttal? instigate a fight w a patrol near the shadowclan border, disallow himself to fight back, and force the wounds to get inflicted on his body, as a show that he CAN choose to get hurt. that he CAN choose what kind of 'destiny' he should have. ive put my own thoughts about it under read more bc this got long (unsurprisingly jkhasdkjfhd)

i spent like a solid few minutes re-reading the chapter to gather my thoughts on it LOL i remember not thinking much about it when i was a kid, but i think its interesting to analyze now!

what was attempted to be written, at least, piques me bc its about lion trying to prove that they can exist outside of the narrative the prophecy has given them. which is funnily ironic, since the start of the chapter is of him having self doubts regarding saving the clans when they found out theres a fourth cat, how that basically means that the three of them wouldnt be enough, how his destiny might have changed. reading this chapter just gave me a new can of brainworms but ill try not to delve into it too much bc its gonna get way messier LMAOOO

to go back to lion purposely getting himself hurt, i dont think he's the type of person who would do that for the sake of it, unless as a really dumb way to prove a point. but it makes me think he really doesnt have much of a care of whether he'd get hurt or not. a severe lack of self-preservation, and all that. cats back at camp react to his wounds w all around shock, he's herded into the med den all the while he acts like he'll be fine. i dunno if the shock from the cats is just bc theyre just so used to seeing him NOT hurt, or if his wounds were really that bad. but either or both still pretty much gives me a lot to think about. homeboy doesnt know the limits of his body, and that makes for interesting scenarios of how he manages to deal w that after losing his powers

#but afterward getting hurt on purpose #no ones really happy about it moreover cinderheart #firestar even yells at him about how he should have not let it happen #how he SHOULD win every battle bc thats his destiny #which WOW. ok i forgor about that #kinda messed up how that implies that the prophecy mattered more than lions own physical well-being #its. really interesting just reading these chapters again #even moreso at the last bit of it where jay cant even get mad at him #how he voices his own self doubts. switching back to lion's at the start. where the prophecy may not mean they are more powerful #but are only starclans last desperate hope #and what the hell are you supposed to feel when the lives of these cats suddenly start to weigh on your conscience. clanmates and enemy ali #reading it over.... yeah i really wish they could have expanded on this anxiety more #ask #i love rambling way too much im so sorry TOT

Actually I would like to revise my response to the question of "BL characters I want carnally." There is one (1) BL character I want carnally:

His gold necklace is driving me insane. Charn, the things I want to do to you. Everything's an act and the act is working on me.

#laws of attraction #film thanapat #his acting! the layers he's bringing #and so completely different from tian #who i felt zero attraction for #as adorable as he was #i can see why film won that best actor award #gifs of beautiful men #but seriously. WOW. #10 ​bl boys i want carnally #gillianthecat liveblogs bl #loa ep 2 #i should not be watching this show right now but i am #also started pit babe which i was liking but wasn't able to stay focused binging it #gillianthecat the cat's triumphant return to bl watching #except not really #given that I shouldn't be watching anything now #but that's my tag for this #thank you gif makers!

Crochet update: guess who has two thumbs and went through a skein he just bought in three hours and still isn't finished yet (totally not me)

#crochet #art #fiber art #this isn't even for my hoodie this is my filler project while i wait for my hoodie yarn to come back in stock #i thought i lost my crochet hook for a minute and almost died 😨 #this L/11 hook is being loved so much like. it's actually the only hook i've used besides the I/9 one i practiced with #there are only 2.75mm difference in their sized (5.25 vs 8.00) but WOW you can really feel the difference #this filler project is the cat blanket so why did my cat decide to lay NEXT TO THE BLANKET instead of on it 😭 #also the 'guess who has two thumbs and...' saying is just so funny to me #like. why do you need to specify you have two thumbs. what makes you special FOR having two thumbs #alright i'm going back to crocheting my hoodie because i still have one (1) skein right now that i was saving #if they don't have the colour i guess i'll just have to order it (i don't wanna) #actually i'm making up a swatch of different stitches to show my dad because i want to show him visually when i talk about crochet #and THEN i'll get back to my project #actually nvm i hate acrylic yarn i am SO MAD (it's not cooperating with me lmao)

My cousin, a published writer, a well-known poet in my country and a literature professor, for whom I've always been no.1 support ever since her first attempts at writing in high school, told me that I must stop writing as a hobby because that's her thing and since I'm writing fantasy mostly my writing could never have any important artistic value anyways.

#what happened was that i was feeling really down these past few days #like mental health dead in mariana trench #and i went to visit her because she lives like 10 minutes away and has a cat i can play with #but yesterday morning a friend of mine made a fanart (i guess i can call it that) of a fanfic i am writing for the five of them #she sent it to me and said she's also working on an actual painting on a camvas of her fave scene from my original story #and i was so surprised and exicted #that's actually a too mild description #and when i was visitting my cousin i showed her the pic of the drawing on my phone and explained it to her and she just said ....ehh.. #and started texting someone #i was sitting there feeling stupid and thinking wow you could have at least praised my friend's art sytle or something #and when i was getting ready to leave she asked me if i was aware my writing has no artistic merit and fantasy is trivial literature #so i should just stop wasting time on that and focus on developing my art style more for her future poetry collections #i do the art for her book covers #and added how we already have an established writer in the family so i should focus on my role - becoming a good pharmacist #and she knows how much i hate that i'm studying pharmacy like it's the no.1 cause of me hating the direction in which my life is going #finished it off by saying she feels like what she's doing in going to be really great and important on a large scale one day #and how she wants me to continue being her shadow that follows and supports her #i left went home and started at a wall for hours #i just feel so dumb for getting excited over a silly drawing of something not more than 5 people will ever read #i genuinely hate the idea of people reading anything i write so most likely writing will just remain a hobby for me #and now i feel like the most stupid person on earth and am this close to deleting all my word documents from both my laptops
