#“hold the cat. he is soft.”

[formerheroeswhoquittoolate]

how much do you want to bet that damian offers his siblings pets to cuddle when they're upset.

damian was raised by the league of assassins. they're not known for teaching their proteges how to comfort others. but also, despite his admittedly stabby tendencies, damian is a good kid. and he cares about his siblings. he wants to be comforting -- god knows dick and his octopus hugs are good at it, or jason and his quiet, reassuring company, or cass's perceptive ability to tell just what someone needs, or steph's cheer or babs's wisdom or tim's problem-solving or even duke's slightly bewildered sympathetic listening -- but he doesn't quite know how.

he does know that it helps him to hold his pets when he's upset, though. so after one particularly rough day, he goes up to one of his upset siblings and holds up alfred the cat.

it works. it's not the same as being comforting himself, but it's a start.

#“hold the cat. he is soft.” #“dami why are--” #“brown. take the cat.” #stephanie takes the cat and does in fact feel better. the cat is soft. #damian is so proud of himself #anyway yeah #damian wayne #batfam #batfamily headcanons #fluffy headcanons #they've suffered enough let them pet cats and have a breather okay

wormie wormie wormie wormi-

#tiny little guy!!! teeny thing!!! #i imagine that wormie acts kinda like a cat mixed with a crow #also she Violently wiggles her whole body when she sees barnaby. thank you for coming to my ted talk #fully convulsing. acting as though she's jello in a centrifuge #and she Does Not Stop until she is held so barnaby has to figure out how to pick her up w/o hurting her #its very amusing in my mind... hes laughing his ass off as she flops all over the place #she doesnt make noise except for very brief quiet squeaks!! #also wormie is not technically female. no one knows what the fuck she is if anything #but barnaby started referring to her with feminine terms and it Stuck #kinda like finding a cool object and going 'oh she's neat' #yeah like that! #wormie lore hidden in the fantasy au... #scribble salad #wh fantasy au #im melting picturing barnaby holding her by the 'handle' #he commissioned the harness himself... made out of the same leather as his gloves! & the same etched design as his boots! #guys im so soft thinking about them.... barnaby and his little pet worm... #i imagine he teaches her tricks... carries her on his hat.... baby talks her cause she's just that tiny how could he not.... #im picturing a Scenario where barnaby full speed full force bodyslams eddie who was just walkin along #like Full Force. eddie flies back ten feet and leaves a groove in the dirt when he lands - everyone goes Hey What The Fuck Barn?! #but as soon as he does it barnaby is rushing over like 'omfg im so sorry but i had to - you were about to step on wormie'

my cat just went on a feral play aggression kick and scratched the shit out of me. i put him in time out for ten minutes and now he's lying on my legs grooming himself. the duality of man

#this fucking cat. he doesn't do this very often but when he does he's genuinely scary #and nothing i do will calm him down #no soft voice. no yelping in pain like a kitten. no hissing. nothing #i have to scoop him up and hold him at an arms length and put him in my room and shut the door before he can attack me again #i mean he ATTACKS me there's no other word for it #it feels personal. and murderous #i've wondered before if this cat wants to kill me. but now he's lying on my legs perfectly content to co-opt my body heat #i love him so much but right now i' #right now i'm so mad at him and just at my wits end. i thought we were done with this #and we've been playing with him! his litter box is clean and there's food in his bowl! #so what the fuck dr seuss #why #dr seuss the cat

jesse cosay holds a stuffed animal while he sleeps u cant change my mind

#obv he's got plenty of stuffed animals but like #ik most ppl who are on tumblr prob are cool with ppl having stuffed animals which. they should be #so like why does everyone Forget Them #am i just attached to soft things or smthn. bc i literally cant sleep without one. #its mostly that i need something soft to hold to give my arms something to rest on but #its def also emotional #why wouldnt u want to hold a soft cute animal when u sleep #maybe yall just have cats that u cuddle with #anyways. jesse cosay is a softie at heart #maybe he eventually passes down some of his stuffies to nate #or they share or smthn #ghost.text #infinity train #jesse cosay

[acidbathcat]

why is my sisters 1 year old girl cat (same breed) so fucking solid and meaty and heavy and my 4 year old boy cat is like skin and bones. they are the same height also.

#i don’t understand? he’s like a soft little noodle #i pick up the girl cat and i feel like im holding 13 pounds of rigid muscle

[electricpurrs]

he literally looks just like me

#hes so perfect. the tuxedo coloring the very soft looking fur #the cartoonish design the big old paws the gentle expression the slit cat eyes #the little hat how BIG they are.... perfect shape and size for holding and hugging #im gonna cry so much thats one of the greatest plushies ive ever seen #🧃

[illmamnim]

I think that Doc is just as huggable as Impulse but there's a pain scale to it

There are x and y axis of huggable to unhugable and painful to soft

#like grian is kinda huggable (you feel like it's unsafe) and kinda soft (he holds a knife) #but mumbo is very huggable (in a cat kinda way) and kinda painful (bones) #mcyt #hermitcraft #docm77 #impulsesv

hello hello! im a totally real human with human insides! plush anon is the name! what is your opinions on stuffies/stuffed animals?

- 🧸

... That is an extremely ominous opener... with extremely gruesome visuals for me to attach...

*Kim stares off out the window for a moment before she continues typing, eventually shaking her head with a mildly disgusted look, but a small smile.*

I don't really have any- at least, not here, but I like them, yeah. What's not to like? They're soft and designed to be loved and held...

#*Kim finds herself suddenly really wishing she had a plushie for this trip- she is overcome with the desire to hold and hug something.* #*she frowns and glances towards Ramona- but opts to leave her alone- looking away with a blush and narrowed eyes* #(Stop being stupid. Let her read.) #pine.txt #asks #anon #rp #kim pine #sp comic #spvtwtg #spto #spvtw #🧸 anon #(ooc: i have so many plushies you dont even know...) #(ooc: if you're in the discord ask about my cay plushie and I will IMMEDIATELY drop two pics of my newest little guy) #(ooc: he's so soft and small and cute i love him) #(ooc: but Kim! Idk what her plushie tastes might be like honestly. I feel like modern times she would have the ghostface plushie that I +) #(+ have? maybe some sandworms too. but idk that all her plushies would be horror related ya know. maybe some hedgehogs and foxes in there) #(ooc: post befriending Gideon- the cat- maybe she would want to pick up a cat one) #(ooc: it kinda seems like a frivolous expense she wouldn't be able to justify to herself though. as compared to paying rent and maintaining #+her instrument and other things) #? #(ooc: this one gets the tag bc i have actually actively placed her there + thoughts for Doc if they want to react to them) #the sp Winnipeg Trip

📤📤📤 free for all! Let anyone answer a question!

anon this is literally so cute <33

📤 What's your favorite sorta "advanced vocabulary" word? (like unequivocal, ostentatious, iniquity) 📤 One of your favorite tropes to see in media, and an example from a media you like! 📤 If you were a stuffed animal, what kind and color would you be?

Reverse ask here!

#reverse ask game #heres my answers by the way hgkjh <3 #i really like linguistics so i enjoy a lot of big words and learning new vocab <33 i do really like the ones i put as examples hkgjh #i guess one of my words is Debonair; which means confident stylish and charming its so fun; sounds so slick <3 #everyone loves found family we don't have to rehash it SO; a different trope i like is when a person has uncontrollable powers? #especially if it's in tune with their emotional state and it flares up when they're too happy or angry or sad hkjgh <3 #Steven Universe does it where steven is so happy he starts floating except he can't get back down so hes just stuck up there #another one is when kiwi/the bard gets possessed by a ghost and they literally can't control it when it bursts from their chest #and starts singing with their voice. and they struggle to hold it in and keep it together but it happens and they collapse at the end :'> #its a good way to balance a character strength (having powers) with a weakness (being unable to control when they use it) #i would be a cat with soft plush tangerine fur and white-with-orange-star-print fabric in my ears and stuffed wings <3 #very soft to hug and a comforting weight to hold as you sleep; like my bear cerulean <3 #interstelore

Just like I put the notch in Skimble's ears for HC reasons, I also want to toss forward the concept that he has chipped at least two of his teeth running with the idea that he does the old "bite the gold coin to see if it's authentic" bit out of habit. Probably bitten a touch too hard on a fake one once or twice in his lifetime.

#Skimbleshanks #my headcanons #he was a farm cat too so it's like...skimble is one of those people #where at first glance he looks pristine and well kempt and perhaps #even wealthy if he holds himself just so (though being a labourer he would hardly be wealthy but it's the way he presents himself) #but then if you look closer you see the cracks in his hands #and there's spots in his clothing that have been worn thin and soft #and his nose is crooked and maybe some of his whiskers are gone #suggesting that he's actually worked very hard in his life #to get to a point where he could hold himself as such #and yes for the record i know these cats aren't meant to actually work it's all cat metaphor HOWEVER #please also consider i do what i want

[peterpandiedtoday]

man did i have a stressful day yesterday with washing machines and the dryer acting up, having soo much to do, it raining like heck alllll day, having to go and print plane tickets, it being an early cats show and wanting boba before leaving and somehow. through sheer luck and despite technically leaving way too late i arrived at the boba shop half an hour before the show and could comfortably have a drink. miracles do happen

#personal Davy #okay cats cats cats and i have to start with this bc i absolutely can't stop thinking about it it's just soo funny and fit the situation #so. munk's tail got ripped off. during the macavity fight. from the mac back jump. and not in a the tail came loose way. no. Ripped #when he was on the floor there was just a little stub left and the tail was on the floor. mungo found it and poked at it curiously then took #it and started laughing. while munk was curled up. tailless. not even sure he noticed but ah. he lost his tail in the fight!!!!!!!!!! #several ppl whispered to him during the dark bit and he got up and got a new one at the next best opportunity but he Also seems to have #found it hilarious b/c he kept talking and motioning to his tail it was. hilarious. fitting. cute af. i owe u my lfye mr snova sir please #also bc. he was so affectionate with tugger. with everyone but like during his song he wasn't annoyed at all like literally all other munks #i've seen he just i would even say fondly watched and danced with him when he was close and was just vibing? mr snova.. mr... mr snovaaaa... #but from the get go they were so soft with each other. during the pyramid tugger caressed munk's head when he hissed hi and held his hand #back when tugger covered his during old deut and randomly reached back for him when he stood behind him during the ball and uhm. #while tugger and bomba fcked he stood next to them and watched. smiling. and whenthey were done he lovingly pushed tugger's hair from his #sweaty forehead while tugger was still half lying on the tire Spent. i was.... speechless even in my brain #and during the mating dance tugger put his leg over deme and munk put his arm around both of them holding tugger by the waist just hhhhhhhh #and while it isn't unusual for tugger to put his and on munk's inner thigh during skimble it Is unusual for munk to do it back which he Did #yes other character tidbits happened too but that's between me and me and it was probably the last snova munk so why not focus on him here #i do have an undefeatable munk preferences for munk by himself but snova as both munk and tugger loves saying Ur Valid which is nice

I need to replay HoT and PoF and everything in-between but I'm thinking Caithe thoughts again.

Specifically, I can't remember a point where she directly interacts with Rytlock or the other members of Destinys Edge after the jungle and the revelations of Sylvari origins. Am I just not remembering it or do they legit never talk?

It's sad to think that after all her efforts, Caithes friends end up abandoning her anyway. It's sad that they don't seem to reach out to her despite everything.

On the other hand, I'm glad she doesn't chase after them if they haven't reached out to her. I hope it means she's learned her worth. I hope she knows she deserves good friends that she doesn't have to chase down just to get a conversation.

I know the other members of Destiny's Edge have also been Going Through It but I love Caithe the most. They all deserve good things (and some of them to get the sense shaken into them.) But Caithe is the one I want to wrap in blankets and give hot coco.

Do correct me if I'm remembering wrong though bc I very much might be!

#gw2 writing #caithe #destinys edge #Sylvari #Caithe appreciation #i love her #amaya talks #please i just want to give caithe good things #i hope she finds more friends #im going to give her more by force #trauma and battle bonding dont always hold up when the fighting stops #then it's time to start talking #unsurprisingly Rytlock the LITERAL child soldier understands this the least #and I want to shove him into So Much Therapy #even If i feel like that would be like trying to bathe a cat #who knows maybe rytlock loves baths though #he has that soft fur #Rytlock is one of the people who deserves to get better #hes a fucking dumbass but literally what else would he be #emotionally well balanced and an example of healthy coping mechanisms and maturity? #nah this bitch like #*slaps car* #this cat can fit so much Trauma inside it #lol maybe it should be #*slaps charr* #instead? #this has been a tag ramble

I was just vibing, no thoughts, head empty with my cat napping next to me on the bed when I suddenly registered the fact that he was an actual real physical tangible being. That I could touch him and hold him and give him little forehead kissies, and so I picked him up and placed him on my tummy and he continued napping as I soaked in the fact that I was capable of physically loving this creature SO hard. Almost cried. Gave him kisses.

#that’s my cat! I love him! he’s a tangible being! I can actually hold him! I can feel his warmth he is a CREATURE #HE IS SOFT AND HE MEOWS OMG Yk like YA KNOW? #so filled with love rn #text #cats

I am having trouble discerning Morton tolerating the baby and actively playing with her

Sometimes they will chase one another all over the couch and Morton will stop it by hissing and slapping her. I'm assuming this is him saying "Okay, stop this for now", but she doesn't really have a shut off button and I've removed her from the situation when it gets to that point. I dont think he would hurt her on purpose but he's like 10 times her size and I can see it happening on accident.

We acclimated baby Morton to Pepper and Mini, but Pepper already had plenty of experience with kittens before and Mini was too laid back to care, so this is newer territory and I am the one chiefly dealing with it

Morton doesn't mind her being around him, but its just when she gets too annoying and he sets boundaries that I'm worried she's just going to keep pushing him until something more intense happens, because he's going to have to escalate his response to get her to really understand that he wants her to stop

Kittens are difficult man, but we knew bringing an older cat in would have its own problems. At least Morton could shape a baby, an adult would already have their own personality and if they clashed they would clash.

Im just bitching, all is good

#long post #weve already gone through the process of introducing them and what not so thats not the problem necessarily #its just their play habits that freak me out #i know cats play hard but with how small she is it scares me #once shes bigger and can hold her own im fine but not now #thats why they have supervised time together #we'll figure it out as we go #babies are always learning so she will learn to understand him #i think the one problem with kittens that are so young is that they dont have as much time with their siblings or parent #to learn how to shut it off more #but! its okay #morton just gives so many mixed signals #he has soft eye contact relaxed whiskers he doesnt run away or puff up he just chills #he'll look over at her and then look back at me and purr like an engine #hes just so hard to read with her #we'll see! #idle chatter #dl
